Thank you to our partner, Boar's Head.
Jason Kelce
Ooh, a little meat. The NFL season is in full swing. And you know what that means. Time to eat meat.
Travis Kelce
Millions of fans are turning their homes into game day headquarters every weekend.
Jason Kelce
Gosh. And whether you're hosting a watch party at home or tailgating before a big game, you gotta feed the crowd.
Travis Kelce
You gotta feed the crowd. That's where Boar's Head comes in the clutch.
Jason Kelce
Yes.
Travis Kelce
Their platters are literally a game changer. We're talking premium meats, cheeses, dips, and more. What's your go to Deli Deli Platter, Jason.
Jason Kelce
I mean, any of them.
Miles Teller
I don't.
Jason Kelce
I did anything that combines crackers, meat, cheese and mustard. It doesn't matter what kind it is. You got pepper jack, you got provolone, you got cheddar, you got beer cheese, you got salami, you got. You got kielbasa.
Travis Kelce
There you go.
Jason Kelce
Don't be all artsy with me. Ritz crackers. Maybe you could do some of those, like whole grain thick boys that are round. Those are kind of nice too. If you want to be kind of different, you go with like a wheat thin. If you really want to elevate your game day spread and score big with your entire home gating, that's tailgating at home, visit your local Boar's Head deli. They'll hook you up with a ready made platter. Ooh. Or you can build on your own.
Travis Kelce

Travis Kelce
Great comedic timing, Wyatt. Great job.
Jason Kelce
Before we get into any of that, let's get into a little bit of that new news.
Travis Kelce
New news.
Jason Kelce
New news is brought to you by American Express. That's right. Heights hotline. Holiday hot takes. That's right, the quadruple H. We're doing a special holiday edition of Heights hotline for this month's bonus content. You can give us your hottest takes about the holidays or if you need any advice about dealing with your Family or anything around the holidays, really, call our hotline at 929-399-7260. That's once again, that's 929-399-7260. We are bringing back New Heights Mailbox as well. A lot of you have asked us about how you can send stuff to the show, so we decided to reopen our PO Box in a location that's easier for intern Brandon to drive to. Brandon's hand. I don't know.
Travis Kelce
Good luck, Brandon.
Jason Kelce
We're gonna put the address in the description of the episode. So if you want to call, you can call. If you want to use snail mail, you can use snail mail. If you have fan art, different things you want us to try in the show, custom knives, whatever, you name it, send it to the P.O. box. Intern Brandon will determine which ones he wants to show us because we probably won't look at all of them. We'll see some of them and then.
Travis Kelce
Some of that we'll see.
Jason Kelce
The good will make it on the show eventually. Look forward to seeing what the 92 percenters bring there. Also, New Heights tailgate is coming to Philadelphia. That's right. The first New Heights tailgate in Kansas City was such a success that we're running it back in Philadelphia on November 28th. You could spend Black Friday at the Link, not just watching the Eagles, but with New heights starting at 11 o' clock in Lot K. Travis Kelce will not be there. I might show up. I probably will be there. Please don't tell anybody. It'll be the ultimate New Heights fan experience with food, merch giveaways, a photo booth, a DJ cornhole, field goal competition, new lights. Tailgate is completely free for any of our fans. Even if you're not a fan. If you just show up, it sounds like it's free. You don't need to sign up. You just show up. Capacity, but limited to first come first serve.
Travis Kelce
Jason, you going to kick a field goal in Tim's this time?
Jason Kelce
I don't. I. I didn't want to do it the first time I did that because I said something stupid and I just wanted to. Pat McAfee, friend of the show and Austin.
Travis Kelce
All the kickers get it. Yeah, all the kickers.
Jason Kelce
Mainly Pat McAfee. And then I also. I think we could do some competition there. I don't know that it needs to be a field goal. I think we can figure out our own thing that wraps up new news brought to you by American Express. Look forward to hearing from all the 92 percenters on the phone, in the mail, and potentially at the tailgate right after Thanksgiving. Gotta do something fun there. All right, let's move on to out of the house.
Travis Kelce
Yeah, I got out of the house a little bit. I went over to New York.
Jason Kelce
You went to New York?
Travis Kelce
Yeah.
Jason Kelce
New York, New York or New York, New York, New York, New York.
Travis Kelce
New York, New York.
Jason Kelce
What'd you do in New York, Trev?
Travis Kelce
Just hung out, man. Put the feed up, saw some cool places, ate some great food, and got the. Got the. The. You know, got to feel the big city, and it's. It's electricity and it's buzz that it's always got. And, yeah, it's my favorite time right now as. As the seasons are changing to be. Be around the Midwest and the Northeast, and, yeah, it was pretty fun. Yeah. There's a picture here of me at Puffy's Tavern saying, what's up to a couple guys and met my guy Summit. Out for a drink and met some friends, got some new. Got some new friends that I know out in New York. It's cool to just kind of vibe around the city like that. I think that's one of my favorite things to do in New York is just to, you know, be one with the city. Just kind of walk the streets and feel the electricity, feeling everybody doing their own and then meeting a few new people on the way.
Jason Kelce
I'm with you, man. There's so much to do there. And, I mean, I. I love just the public transportation. It's a shame that you're so famous that you can't do it now, Trav, because it is spectacular.
Travis Kelce
What makes you think subway won't go down in the subway right now?
Jason Kelce
All right, let's do it. You and me. Next time we're in New York, we're taking the subway.
Travis Kelce
Deal. We did it in London. I'll do it here.
Jason Kelce
Did you come with me on the subway? Yeah. No, I did the subway. You didn't do the subway.
Travis Kelce
Me, you, mom, I think dad and Uncle. Uncle Don, and I'm pretty sure we all did.
Jason Kelce
I love hopping on the tube. Big tube, dude.
Travis Kelce
I'm in. I'm in. See the next up and coming music artist or dance artist.
Jason Kelce
I mean, how is the subway not awesome? You get to breathe a bunch of stale air that's been recycled by everybody else who's also in that little congested train car. Maybe see somebody do something crazy.
Miles Teller
Crazy.
Jason Kelce
I mean, there's never a dull moment on a subway, Really. I mean, think about it. There's something Happening something going down, people.
Travis Kelce
Watching is one of my favorite things to do. It is.
Jason Kelce
I will go some ways.
Travis Kelce
That's another reason why I love New York. I love the people, watch people doing some wild yes on the buy.
Jason Kelce
Do you completely forget about football? Like what. What are you doing on the bike besides going to New York, besides going to Puffy's Tavern? How are you approaching the bye week as a Kansas City Chiefs tight end?
Travis Kelce
That ties into it, man. You know. You know better than anybody. You get. You get so ingrained in the routine of things, and your days are set, your schedules are set during the season, and the bye week is just that if you're fortunate enough to come out healthy and you can get away. I like to get away and recharge. You know, not everybody has the same feeling. And, you know, there's a lot of guys out there that have families and they end up staying in town and all that. But I like to get away, recharge, see something else, see a new city, feel like I'm somewhere else and kind of just shut it down. I'll watch the games on Thursday, Sunday and Monday, but I like to kind of get away. Being in Kansas City for 13 years straight, for eight months out of the year, it's like, yeah, that. That. That can be a nice home for somebody, but at the same time, I'm. I'm somebody I like. I got. I got to move my feet, man. I got to travel. I got to see new things, visit friends, and I got to see a lot of friends and family out there on the East Coast.
Jason Kelce
Nice. All right. Chiefs headed to Mile High to take on the Broncos coming off the by. Big game for the Chiefs. Obviously, Bron hold the division right now as well as the top of the conference, so. Yeah, Trav, what are the keys to the game?
Travis Kelce
I think right now, the Broncos are playing so well together. You know, I mean, they're playing complimentary football. They. They might not have a lot of games where they're. They're scoring a lot of points and they're playing great defense, but at the same time, they're playing good, complimentary ball. And. And I think it's kind of led by their defense. And then in those big moments, their offense keeps finding ways to win football games.
Jason Kelce
That's what great teams do.
Travis Kelce
And Bo Nicks, man, we've said it on here before. It's like when the pressure's on, it seems like he just turns into a different guy. So it's going to be a four quarter, you know, heavyweight Battle. I, I, I'm, I'm here for it. I love these kind of games. Denver's not the easiest place to go in and play football. Man, that altitude gets me every single time. And it's, it may not make me play terrible, but it definitely makes a difference when you're playing up there. And I'm excited for the challenge. Man.
Jason Kelce
Bo Nick such a quarterback when he's playing from behind.
Travis Kelce
It's a crazy stat.
Jason Kelce
Has it factored into your guy's head at all that maybe you should spot them some points and be the ones to come back from behind?
Travis Kelce
That's not how that works. No, nobody, nobody in their right mind is just like, all right, here, let's spot him.
Jason Kelce
Let's probably listen. If we're listening to analytics, that the old Teddy. I mean, the old Patty, statistically, it is the smart point lead at half. Yeah, statistically, it is a smart place.
Travis Kelce
It's like you're playing blackjack analytics.
Jason Kelce
Yeah. If you play blackjack with the, with the Broncos, to let him bust, you got to let him get to 20, and then you know that they're going to go over at some point and then it's all going to come crashing down.
Travis Kelce
I think, I think we're going to try and start fast and finish even faster. I think that's going to be the key to the game right there.
Jason Kelce
It's probably a more tried and true method.
Travis Kelce
Jason, you were everywhere this week.
Jason Kelce
Yeah.
Travis Kelce
If you guys and in the, in the real world didn't catch it, you got Baden Manning to be you, and you got to be Peyton Manning.
Jason Kelce
Little Freaky Friday action. Yeah, I wore a Colts uniform. We, we traded places in. True Freaky Friday action. Yeah. Peyton approached me to do this tush push thing, and I'm like, dude, I'm, I'm all in, man. Peyton's places. He does a phenomenal job shedding the history of the game. Some of the most awesome things to around the NFL. It's truly just a joy to even be involved with this in any capacity. So shedding light on the tush push and doing this bit where Peyton got to feel what it feels like to be at the center of that thing on the bottom. Listen, you think the quarterbacks get this to push you just take a look at the center next time. It's a lot of push into that tush. Anyways, it felt weird in the moment when I was wearing the Colts uniform. It felt even weirder watching it. I don't look right in a Colts uniform. It just feels Off.
Travis Kelce
No, it's because you're fat and you're wearing 18. That's why. If you had that old 62 on.
Jason Kelce
Just gonna say, I don't think I looked fat in this.
Travis Kelce
You would have turned into JE. Saturday 2.0.
Jason Kelce
I didn't know I was so bow legged. Look at how bow legged I am.
Travis Kelce
But that's the thing. You're not.
Jason Kelce
I'm not.
Travis Kelce
You're slew footed just like me. You got the. Your feet go this way. But it is a little bit of bow at the knees. Just because you got hips though. That's why.
Jason Kelce
Is that what it is? It's the wide hips?
Travis Kelce
Yeah, the wide hips. It just makes it to where it doesn't look like your knees are like clicking.
Jason Kelce
I'm telling you, the only reason I look fat is because of that flak jacket. I got that flak jacket on, so I got you.
Travis Kelce
It's not that you look fat, you look thick.
Jason Kelce
Look like a Jared Lorenzen RIP dude. Hefty lefty, baby.
Travis Kelce
He was so fun to watch, man. Jason, you went to Lambeau?
Jason Kelce
Sure did.
Travis Kelce
Peyton's places on the old Omaha Productions. Wasn't the only place you. You. You saw some football here. Were a part of some football.
Jason Kelce
That's right.
Travis Kelce
Went to Lambeau on Monday Night Football. Took Ed Kelsey with you.
Jason Kelce
Dude, that was a blast.
Travis Kelce
Passed out some cheese curds at an ice rink.
Jason Kelce
I got gifted some cheese curds at the ice rink. I was skating around, passing them out. I was spraying snow on, stopping really fast by the boards and getting isolated.
Travis Kelce
Jason.
Jason Kelce
We actually went out to Lambeau the day before and went and got a tour of Lambo. Dad and I then we went to a supper club. Big thing out there in Wisconsin. Went to Schwarz's Supper club. Fantastic. I had the biggest prime rib. I think it was a joke by the kitchen. Like, there's no way this was an actual. And then. But the waitress kept telling me that's a real legitimate serving. I was like, this is fucking preposterous. Like a dinosaur prime rib. Like, what the fuck is eating this kind of prime rib?
Travis Kelce
Jason. Kelsey.
Jason Kelce
It was. I tried. I couldn't get it.
Travis Kelce
Wow.
Jason Kelce
I will show you a picture of this. This thing is probably. I'm not. I'm not exaggerating. It's probably like a 36 ounce prime rib. Like it was. It was this thick.
Travis Kelce
God damn it.
Jason Kelce
Filled up the whole plate. Like I was. It didn't even look like it was cooked. I was like, what the fuck am.
Miles Teller
I eating right now?
Jason Kelce
And it was delicious.
Travis Kelce
Nice.
Jason Kelce
Had ice cream, drink. And then, yeah, we skated around when I'm GMA I mean, it was all over the place. I don't know, man. Again, I just love cold weather, people. We just talked about it with Canada a little bit, and Wisconsin definitely fits that mold as well. Yeah, there's just like a. I don't know what the. Like, a camaraderie or communal aspect of people that have to go through that kind of weather. And it was cold this weekend, where you like to drink, you like to gather around, you like to be in company with each other because you're all going through this together. I don't know, but it was. It was fantastic. It was great.
Travis Kelce
Hell, yeah.
Jason Kelce
Awesome, people.
Travis Kelce
I was Lambo as a fan versus playing there.
Jason Kelce
Well, we did Lambeau last year as a broadcast, and I dressed up as Santa because it was for this Christmas game, and we gave out gifts. The tour of Lambeau was awesome. It was really special. They've done a great job. Better than a lot of other organizations, I would say. Probably even better than, like, Philadelphia of, like, telling the story of the history of the NFL, and in particular, the Green Bay Packers. There's pictures all over the place. They have an old piece of concrete that, like, Curly Lambeau and Vince Lombardi and all those guys used to walk across before they went out the field on the actual tunnel that the players go on. On. They all step across that piece of concrete and put the jersey on like every other Packer has before them. The way it started and the fact that it's the only publicly owned franchise in the NFL. Right. There's not an owner. It's all run by a board of directors. It's a nonprofit. The owners are the fans. And it's just. It's a very special place. It's incredible to go see. They've done a great job of showcasing all this history. There's Heisman trophies, Vince Lombardi trophies, you know, pictures, old newspapers. It's just. And then the stadium itself is from 1957, and they've added on, obviously, since then. But the tunnel that I walked out as a player is the same tunnel that Curly Lambo freaking walked out of. And it's really, really cool to take in all that history and then go and watch a game there. It's. It's an experience that you got to check out.
Travis Kelce
I'm telling you football fans, if you have not done it, it is one of the coolest experiences and one of the most sacred experiences the NFL has to offer. And that stadium is worth every bit of going and experience it, man. That whole town is.
Jason Kelce
And I got to shout out Diane, our tour guide. Diane was amazing. So much energy. Dad didn't wear his hearing aid, so that was a complete fucking debacle. But the whole thing was outstanding. And she was, I don't know, man, just a great person. And you can tell how big of a fan she was of the packers in the NFL in general. So, yeah, awesome experience. Oh, I got a shout out. Cheese curd. Nick, I don't even know if I'm saying this right. At the stadium view tailgate, he told me to get his curds. He said they were the best curds in Wisconsin. Not gonna lie, they were really good kurds. I'm not gonna. I haven't had enough curds to say they're the best curds, but the best cheese curds I've ever had.
Travis Kelce
If somebody says I got the best anything, I'm gonna try it.
Jason Kelce
Maybe lock K. Maybe. I can't remember. Anyways, it was. It was. It was a great experience heading over there.
Travis Kelce
Yeah. And to be fair, if you're up cheese curds, you're. You don't need to be making cheese.
Jason Kelce
But they were fresh. They were freshies.
Travis Kelce
Had a little stretch to them.
Miles Teller
All right.
Jason Kelce
Yeah, it had some stretch. Had a little squeak. Sounds delicious. So, yeah, being out in Wisconsin was a blast. Had an ice cream drink. You ever had an ice cream drink?
Travis Kelce
A milkshake.
Jason Kelce
That's what I thought. It comes in like a little martini glass. And it's got booze in it. Incredible.
Travis Kelce
So milkshake with booze kind of.
Jason Kelce
I mean, it's one way to say it.
Travis Kelce
Dairy and alcohol for me, doesn't sit.
Jason Kelce
Well over the course of the day. This is my day. I go to Lambeau, get a tour. We go to Legend Larry's, which apparently is a wing spot in the Wisconsin area. I eat chicken wings and fried food there. I have about seven spotted cows. Because when you're in Wisconsin, you're going to drink a spotted cow or two. I go straight from there. An hour drive to this freaking supper club after the four o' clock games end. And at the supper club, the first thing you do is the whole thing is you sit at one table by the bar and you order your food there. And while you're ordering your food, you're drinking alcohol, mainly old fashions. So I have an Old Fashioned there. Then we go to the. The table. I eat a prime rib the size of the entire plate. All right.
Travis Kelce
Yeah.
Jason Kelce
And Then I top it off with an ice cream drink. When I tell you my stomach had no idea what I was doing. Like, there's just fried chicken, prime rib, ice cream drinks, beer, old fashioned. I. I probably took about five, four years off of my life in one day going to freaking Green Bay, Wisconsin and chopping it up with these. I had Jaeger, my shirt guy said, hey, you want to play beer die? We're playing beer die. He's like, and loser buys. I lost. I was like, all right, what do you guys want to do? What's a Wisconsin drink? And they said, jaeger. I said, I haven't had Jaeger in probably 15 years. Let's do it. My stuff, it was churning all sorts of different way, but I'm not a bitch, so I handled it fine. But I was like, I don't know what the hell I just did to myself today. And I loved every second of it. Wisconsin. It was fantastic. That wraps up out of the house.

Travis Kelce
Yeah, let's get into a little Week 10 of the NFL. The birds went to Lambo like we just said and they, they snuck out a Barn burner. Eagles 10, Packers 7. It was, it was a cold game.
Jason Kelce
It was a cold defense, good defense.
Travis Kelce
It was cold that night on Monday Night Football.
Jason Kelce
It was football weather is what it was.
Travis Kelce
Told the entire world about a beautiful story about a veteran and shine some light on it, man. Very touching, Marine. Yes, sir. And as he, uh, got everybody ready for some Monday Night Football.
Jason Kelce
Yeah, it was an honor to be involved in that piece. I mean, and listen, I've been, I was teammates with Tyler Steen for a few years and was not familiar with that story that his grandfather jumped on a grenade in Vietnam to save the lives of five other Marines. It was a, it was a special, special story to be involved with. And it's just crazy. You think about how many people's lives exist today because those men survived. How many, you know, fathers were saved. And at the same time, you know, Ronnie Davis left behind a two year old and a one year old daughter and a wife back in the United States.
Travis Kelce
You're becoming an unbelievable storyteller. Not that you already weren't, but it was, it was, I thought it was very buttoned up and you killed it. And obviously. Shout out to all the veterans, man, hell yeah. Back to some football. Should we just fast forward to like a minute and 35 left or what?
Jason Kelce
Yeah, I mean, I think, listen, the Eagles had a first. Good, their first drive, really good. They're getting down inside the 15, basically and great strip by Edgerton Cooper, great linebacker for the Green Bay Packers. And both teams played unbelievable defense in this game. And the Eagles, you know, they got behind the sticks a lot with false starts, penalties, holding calls. It kind of stalled out some drives, got it going a little bit in the second half. And it really came down to the end of the game because both defenses stymied each other's offenses all game long. And it all came down to a four minute drill for the Eagles trying to ice out the game. They're winning 10 to 7. And this is the big decision that everybody wants to talk about, right?
Travis Kelce
Yeah.
Jason Kelce
Eagles elect to go for it on fourth down. It's fourth and seven, I think fourth and sixth and they're on the 36, 35ish yard line. And at this Moment before they come out on the field, I'm like, okay, are they going to kick a field goal? Are they going to punt even when they put the offense out there? And I thought punt because I'm like, this is. You don't want to give too good a field position here to. To Green Bay. Your defense has been playing well. It's cold. This is usually within Jake's range, but it's windy, it's cold. Let's just give our defense good field position, take this game out that way. But the Eagles put their offense out the field. I'm like, okay, they're probably going to just take a delay a game so that it's an easier distance for the punter to kind of put it up in the air and let it come down inside the 20. And then they snap the ball and I'm like, oh shit, they're actually running a play.
Travis Kelce
Yeah.
Jason Kelce
And they try to hit A.J. brown on a sluggo. Doesn't work out. Still don't really fully understand it, to be honest with you. I mean, I think the Eagles in general are one of the most aggressive teams. Right. And Nick has been this way his whole career and it's allowed us to win a lot of football games. I know it was cold. Typically punting though, I know. I wouldn't think that like that affects that. I mean, I know it affects the punter a lot, but you're not going for distance. You're trying to kick this thing up there and get a little bit of field position. Fourth and six, not a high percentage throw. They must have felt really good about it to make that call. But outside of that, you know, thankfully the defense showed up and got a stop when they needed it. You know, I mean, they held them to have to try and attempt a 63 yard field goal on the other end and they got out of Lambeau with a big victory against a really good defense. I came away from the game like, dude, the even rewatching it, Green Bay's linebackers in their safeties and how they came down into the box. They played really well. I really think Jeff Halfley has done a tremendous job with that whole unit. They have players across the board and they came to play especially a bounce back game for them for giving up the rushing yards they did to Carolina. They were fired up to play and they played hard. They played physical all game long and it was an old school type of NFL game.
Travis Kelce
It really was. That's what, that's what it kind of reminded me of watching that thing because it felt like you're in historic Lambo on the biggest night in football Monday night. And it's like you're just sitting there watching, you know, two legendary organizations go at it for the hundredth time. And it's just, it felt like that old school style of football, cold weather game, guys are, you know, plays are being made on the defensive side for the majority of the game. Finally, the offense gets going for a little bit in the fourth quarter and it's like, oh, all right, now it's. You got everybody on the edge of their seat and shit's going on fourth down. Everybody's going for it on fourth down. The Eagles had one where they're literally calling out the fourth down call on D.C. yeah, they're calling the play out before they stuff it. And you're just sitting there, you're like, man, this is, this is old school football. And that, that, that Eagles defense had had some help from their new star, Jalen Phillips. Man, forced fumble, fumble recovery, eight pressures, seven hurries and six stops altogether.
Jason Kelce
When he got traded here, one of his first sound bites was, that's like the greatest thing that's ever happened in his life. And, and I mean, for the, I know the aggressive statement, but for the Eagles, this might be the greatest thing that's happened this season so far, is getting Jalen Phillips. What an amazing maiden voyage for the veteran defensive end, outside linebacker, whatever you want to call him, edge defender. He made his presence felt early and often. He, I mean, he was phenomenal all game long. We knew he was a great player. He picked up right away and came up huge for the Eagles. The Eagles are going to get tested. I mean, listen, they, they won in Green, in Green Bay. Big game. And they got a big one coming up next week. Lions, Sunday Night Football. Their offense is functioning very well right now. I think they scored on every possession this past week against Washington. So they're going to have to come to play on offense this week. If they want to win this one.
Travis Kelce
Then that'll be a little Sunday night football action. Playing back to back night games. Prime time, baby. With new play caller over there in, in Detroit, Dan Campbell.
Jason Kelce
Dude, the readers. I love that sideline pick.
Travis Kelce
It's so good, man.
Jason Kelce
The four o' clock games, it was like what it was Lions, Rams, and who was the other one where it was just like, these are all going to be. These aren't even going to be close.
Travis Kelce
One of them was, and you knew.
Jason Kelce
It coming into it. It was like, all of these are.
Travis Kelce
Going to be none of us, the Rams.
Jason Kelce
And the Rams 49ers was the one where it's like the 49ers defense has been good.
Travis Kelce
All right, let's talk some other stuff that's going on around the league. Giants fired coach Brian Dabel.
Jason Kelce
Yep. Dable is gone. Making former Eagles quarterback and Chiefs coach and Jason Kelsey's friend Mike Kafka the interim head coach.
Travis Kelce
Coach Kafka.
Jason Kelce
Coach Kafka was Mike Kafka quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles when I first got into the NFL and he was my.
Travis Kelce
QB coach when I first got into the NFL.
Jason Kelce
That's right. Went over to Kansas City quickly and ended up having a tremendous career there as offensive coordinator. He's got some hardware from his time in kc, won one super bowl there and he's been in New York the last few years since Brian Dabel got there. Now the interim head coach can't wait to see what Kaffies can do up there. So this is how it works. You know, Dable was there for four years. They've changed over the roster completely and the team just hasn't gotten better. Right. They, yeah, they show flashes like it felt like four weeks ago it felt like things were starting to turn a corner.
Travis Kelce
Yeah.
Jason Kelce
Out there, Cam. Scatter. Boo. It felt like, okay, this team's starting to have some confidence and find themselves. But yeah, the graphics are out there. They've blown a number of big double digit leads that good teams just don't do and really disciplined teams don't do. And you know, it's not all Brian Dables. Florida never is. But when you're the head coach, you're the one ultimately responsible somehow the general managers abstaining from responsibility over this whole thing to date. You know, Wink Martindale, the division coordinator, they move on from him a couple seasons ago. They move on from Saquon Barkley, famously last season, Daniel Jones, they move on from Daniel Jones. And all three of these guys have had success at their next stops. So you know, the common denominator is like, hey, we, we've had players apparently that are good in this building that haven't played at a high level. So ultimately there's going to be change coming whenever that happens. For sure.
Travis Kelce
Yeah. And it's a tough situation for our guy Kafka to come into, but he is one of the, one of the best football knowledge and in offensive like gurus, man. I like when he was in Kansas City, man, just hearing him talk ball and hearing him talk about how the offense needs to get going, I always was just blown Away by it. And no better stamp of approval than his. His absurd stat line. In college, playing for Northwestern in the old 2010 Outback bowl, the guy threw for 550. Or I'm sorry, 532 yards, four touchdowns.
Jason Kelce
Are you serious?
Travis Kelce
He was 47 for 78 in the air. My gosh, man. Through 78. Yeah.
Jason Kelce
And did he throw his arm out? How do you throw a ball 78 times?
Travis Kelce
Good luck to. To Kafka in the. In the New York football Giants, man.
Jason Kelce
Yeah, good luck to Kafka. I will not say good luck, Giants. All right, keeping it on coaches. Mike McDaniels little drive by troll action. Let's take a look at this photo. After the Dolphins upset the bills, Mike McDaniels might have been spotted driving by a Bills bar in South Beach. Can we get a more zoomed in version of this photo? I mean, that's Mike McDaniels, right?
Travis Kelce
1,000%.
Jason Kelce
Is he trolling or is this just on the way to his house? What do you think?
Travis Kelce
It might just be on the way to the house. I can see. I can see Coach McDaniels living down in Miami Beach. He's definitely trolling. He's just. He's dry. He's slow turning it. Got the arm out the window.
Jason Kelce
Staring right into the bar.
Travis Kelce
Staring right into the bar.
Jason Kelce
I mean, listen, this is a big one for Coach McDaniel.
Travis Kelce
Yeah, it seemed like there. There's some people in the hot seat over there right now.
Jason Kelce
All righty. Before we hand out some stamps of the week, let's talk to our partner. DraftKings. That's right. Interns, please come on in. Let's take a look at Week 11 matchups and build a same game parlay for the people.
Jake
Let's go. Week 11 is actually kind of stacked, if I'm being honest. I'm very excited about this week. There's a lot of great games. I think the game Jake and I are most intrigued by is in the early slates. We are looking at Bucks at Bills. Both teams coming off a loss. This is a big one, Jake. First pick.
Jake's AFC East Fan Friend
Gotta start with the spread of the game. Just keep it simple. I, as the resident AFC east fan, cannot be rooting for the Buffalo Bills, but I do think this is going to be a close game and the Bucks are getting five and a half points. So I'm going to take the Bucks plus the points in terms of the game spread.
Jason Kelce
Nice. Always like when we take the bucks.
Jake
I like that. I think Baker always plays a tight game. Never Count the man out no matter what the score is. All right, My pick for the same game parlay. I'm going to go with a James Cook anytime. Touchdown. I feel like James Cook is the engine that drives that Bill's offense, and I think they're going to get him going. I think that is the key to the game is to get James Cook going, and I think they're going to feed him.
Jason Kelce
All right.
Jake's AFC East Fan Friend
Both coming off hard losses. I got a back friend of the show, Baker Mayfield. I'm taking Baker Mayfield over two touchdown.
Jason Kelce
Passes, so I always like taking Baker on any of this stuff. So, yeah, love it.
Jake's AFC East Fan Friend
Bucky Irving's been kind of, like, shaken up a little bit hurt, too, so I think they're going to have to throw the ball.
Jake
Great pass in the rock.
Jake's AFC East Fan Friend
So I'm taking Baker over two touchdowns. Shout out. Friend of the show, Baker Mayfield.
Jason Kelce
Are they getting any help from the injured players coming back the Bucks?
Travis Kelce
Do you know, we've been looking.
Jake
Right now it doesn't look like Bucky Irving's going to be available. I think some of the wide receivers are questionable, but I think regardless are going to be airing that thing out.
Jake's AFC East Fan Friend
Mike Evans has been, you know, he's obviously dealing with the injury, but Baker told us about a Mecca Igbuka in the summer, and he's absolutely killing it. So I'm ready to ride with the Bucks.
Jason Kelce
Yes, he is. He is killing it. He's a good player. Baker was right on the money with that one.
Jake
You can check out all the odds for week 11 and more over on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Let's keep it moving to stamp of the week. Trav, take it away.
Travis Kelce
All right, now, moving on to stamp of the week. I mean, who you going with with? I mean, Dan Campbell had over 500 total yards of those glasses on, man. I might give my stamp of the week to those readers.
Jason Kelce
All right, I like it. I like it. Somehow still looks incredibly intimidating with glasses.
Travis Kelce
I'm not around with that. Look at those. It's the traps coming out of the T shirt that. No, that tells me I don't need to bark up that tree.
Jason Kelce
It's the red skin that just tells you that, like, his blood is just pulsing to, like, areas. He's just waiting to explode with rage. Thick six. Let's take a look at this thick six.
Travis Kelce
Brandon, is it good? It's good, it's good. Anytime you see a fat boy running with the ball, it's good.
Jason Kelce
All right, let's see.
Travis Kelce
Kind of think they could have blew. Blew it dead, but.
Jason Kelce
Oh, big boy. Oh, yeah. Oh, that forward progression is not stopped.
Travis Kelce
They can't bring him down.
Jason Kelce
Are you kidding me? My God.
Travis Kelce
Oh.
Jason Kelce
Oh. Dude, he landed hard.
Travis Kelce
He hit the ground hard.
Jason Kelce
Let me tell you, Big boy is tired after that one, I'll tell you that. He just fought off even his own teammates. Like, how many people is he pushing and freaking? He just wrestled an entire high school football team. I'm definitely giving it to him. I don't even need to see the rest of these. I mean, Matt Stafford was tremendous. I gave him the hemi on Monday Night Football. DeMarcus Lawrence had a couple scores for touchdowns. Jets offensive line celebrates offense. All right, I'm intrigued. Let me take a look at. Just. Just styling on him.
Travis Kelce
Oh, no.
Jason Kelce
Oh, like, look at him. That's pretty funny. It's really petty and, like, super unsportsmanlike, but it's funny as boys.
Travis Kelce
The boys on a two game win streak, bro. It.
Jason Kelce
There is something different about, like, making a play is a. Like, you make a play, you get the dance, but getting somebody else the upper up and then dancing on him feels a bit aggressive.
Travis Kelce
It feels like taunting to me, but I don't know.
Jason Kelce
Right. I love it, though. I'm kind of. I mean, as we've said, we are in favor of taunting as a. I'm. We are pro taunting. And that was. It was also just good rhythm. I mean, he's a good dancer. I want to go to the club with him. Yeah, I'm gonna go with the thick six. Shout out to Akeem Davis for an incredible defensive Touchdown. Truly remarkable effort. I don't know it's gonna get better than that.
Travis Kelce
Yeah, I don't know if it gets better than that either. I'm always down to give a friend of the love, man. Matty Stafford went out there, went fucking nuts. Has the most starts by QB before reaching.
Jason Kelce
It's a weird stat.
Travis Kelce
He has the most kind of a bun stat.
Jason Kelce
It's really weird.
Jake
It's kind of a bun stat. It's very weird.
Jason Kelce
It's the most starts to get to 500 like, of quarterbacks with that many starts. Yeah.
Travis Kelce
All right, cool.
Jason Kelce
Above a certain amount, they are almost all over 500. He just got over 500 as a career.
Travis Kelce
Well, as one bun's stats and bun's records holder many buns stats. Matty Stafford gets my stamp of the week. After 231 starts, Matt Stafford is finally above 500. He has the most starts by a quarterback before reaching 500. Since starts were first tracked in 1950, he is now 115 and 115. 1 Overall Record. Record.
Jason Kelce
So, I mean, it just tells you how bad they were in Detroit. Like they had some bad teams in Detroit.
Travis Kelce
Guy's super bowl champ, baby. You can't tell them no different. Well, that does it for stamp of the week. Let's close this episode out with Miles Teller.
Jason Kelce
Yeah, I mean, I don't see why not.
Travis Kelce
Thank you to our partner, Boar's Head.
Jason Kelce
Oh, a little meat. The NFL season is in full swing. And you know what that means. Time to eat meat.
Travis Kelce
Millions of fans are turning their homes into game day headquarters every weekend.
Jason Kelce
Gosh. And whether you're hosting a watch party at home or tailgating before a big game, you gotta feed the crowd.
Travis Kelce
You gotta feed the crowd. That's where Boar's head comes in the clutch.
Miles Teller
Yes.
Travis Kelce
Their platters are literally a game changer. We're talking premium meats, cheeses, dips, and more. What's your go to? Deli Deli Platter, Jason.
Jason Kelce
I mean, any of them. I don't. I. Dude, anything that combines crackers, meat, cheese and mustard, it doesn't matter what kind it is. You got pepper jack, you got provolone, you got cheddar, you got beer cheese, you got salami, you got kielbasa.
Travis Kelce
There you go.
Jason Kelce
Don't be all artsy with me. Ritz crackers. Maybe you can do some of those, like whole grain thick boys that are round. Those are kind of nice too. If you want to be kind of different. You go with like a wheat thin. If you really want to elevate your game day spread and score big with your entire home gating. That's tailgating at home. Visit your local Boar's Head deli. They'll hook you up with a ready made platter. Oh, or you can build on your own.
Travis Kelce
There you go. Either way, you're upgrading your game day with some serious flavor. Boar's Head, committed to craft, left since 1905. How about it?
Jason Kelce
It's just a great name too.
Travis Kelce
Over 100. Yeah. You know what you're getting?

Jason Kelce
Well, our guest today is six foot one actor from Downingtown, Pennsylvania. You might know him from as being on the Eagles sideline or dancing at Grateful Dead concerts. He just hosted SNL for the second time. You've seen him in big screen roles in Whiplash, War Drugs, Top Gun, Maverick, and as the co star of the upcoming film film Eternity. 92 percenters, please welcome Miles. Let's go. Yeah, baby.
Travis Kelce
Dude, SNL rocked it. One of my. Dude absolutely rocked it. Eternity absolutely rocked it. You're on fire as always, brother. Appreciate you coming on here, having some fun with this man. How we living, dog?
Miles Teller
Yeah, appreciate it. I was looking forward to that. That intro, bro, that's. That's like. You know, because we don't. For as actors, we don't really get much. You know, snl, you mentioned if I'm doing a talk show. But you know, that's why I'm so jealous of musicians and athletes. Because you guys just get that live energy and you feed off it. But after that speech, I'm ready to.
Jason Kelce
Run through a friggin brick wall when.
Travis Kelce
When you got the great credentials like dancing at Grateful Dead concerts. Jason just hits those things, man. You know, just get your chills Going, baby, have you always been a deadhead for me?
Miles Teller
I guess I. I really got into him in college. I've always been into, you know, classic rock and, you know, Clapton, and I know you guys are good. Steve Ray Von Guys, you know, Bob Seeger, like, that kind of stuff. And then when I was in college, I had a buddy be like, yo, we should go to this music festival. It's called Gathering of the Vibes in Connecticut. And once I was around, what I refer to now is, like, my people, I just didn't know it at the time. But once I got around that tie dye and just nice. The love and energy that they get from the band and that they give to everybody else. Yeah, dude, I love it. I'm in tied eye. Like, probably way too much for him. But those shirts are clean, though. I know you like my. My shirts, Trav, when I'm wearing them down in, you know, wherever at in the summer and stuff.
Travis Kelce
Some nice vintage you already know. Take me back, man. Take me back. I'm vintage with you, dog. Yeah, that shit's classic.
Jason Kelce
Classic. Well, let's talk about attorney, actually, first. I. You talk about, like, intros. Whenever I'm on the field and the team's about to come out, I feel like I get, like, ptsd. Like, I get, like, flashbacks of, like, playing in, like, goosebumps. Like, I got to see Trav come out. I got to see the Eagles this past week. Everybody's booing, there's lights everywhere. It's like that moment right before the national anthem. It's like, dude, it's still. Is like a visceral thing. Thing. So I'm right there with you on the intros, man. That is, dude, one of the things I miss greatly.
Miles Teller
You're not that far removed, man. And I just. I don't know if you've ever seen when they show video of, like, Chuck Liddell watching the UFC fight. I mean, he's like, yes. Yeah, very much still in, like. Like, knocked out. I mean, yes, you can see it in his eyes. Like, he's very still in there. That world the best. Oh, my God.
Jason Kelce
Eternity. I don't. I never know how to, like, sum this. I said, okay, Larry, your character, Larry, is married to a woman named Joan. And the whole movie essentially takes place with. In the afterlife. And you have to choose your eternity. That's the name of the film. And how many where do. I don't know what I'm allowed to give away, what I'm not allowed to give away. Do you want to.
Miles Teller
I'M gonna try not to give nothing. In a way. Also, it's not, you know, it's not a Marvel film. It's not. It's not a, you know, Top Gun. I don't think I'm gonna have a red dot on me if this thing goes a little sideways.
Jason Kelce
Sure.
Miles Teller
Yes. So this. So it.
Jason Kelce
Yeah.
Miles Teller
The movie's called Eternity. My character in Lizzie, Olsen's character, we've been married for 60 something years, and the movie more or less takes place in the afterlife. The rules kind of are that you get to choose your eternity and we have some fun with it. There's like Smoker's World, because cancer can't kill you twice. There's like infancy Studio 54. EF Studio 54. 1930s Germany without Nazis. Nudist World. Nudist World, where it's always like the perfect temp for you. Yeah, you get to choose your eternity, but you only choose once. And you can choose to be with whoever you want, want. And so I'm kind of, you know, ready to choose my eternity with. With my wife. And then turns out that her first husband, who's been waiting 67 years because he passed away in the Korean War, he wants to have his eternity with her too. So it turns into this fun, you know, romantic comedy kind of with a bit of this love triangle thing.
Jason Kelce
Dude, it was fantastic.
Travis Kelce
Yeah, man.
Jason Kelce
The, the. Trying to win over Joan and the entire their. Who's going to be able to spend the rest of their life with them is just fantastic. It's funny. It is incredibly emotional. Like if somebody who's married.
Travis Kelce
It's a roller coaster of emotion, man. It's so fun, man. You guys get really deep. The, the how much fun you guys are having in the comedy aspect with the ACs, the afterlife coordinators. Dude, that is. You guys hit it on the head, man. I absolutely love this film, man.
Miles Teller
Thank you. And also I'm. I, I think it's like, you know, when I was a kid, because this movie's coming out, you know, at Thanksgiving, you think of like those family movies that you would go to. There's kind of just old school throwback, kind of just make you feel good. And this movie, even though I do think it's like one of the fun, it was one of the funniest scripts I've ever read. I just found it really sincere and moving and it's. And so I appreciate putting things out there that are, you know, sincere, not just original and fresh, but, you know, a movie that's not just there to take the piss, you know, I mean, I. I think it makes you really think about your own life. And hell, yeah, if you're in a relationship or, you know, if you've lost somebody, it's just a really. There's a lot of, like, tears, I think, in this movie, too. It's just. I don't know. I. I love it. I'm glad you guys dug it.
Jason Kelce
Dude, you pick great films. Better than, like, anybody I know, man. I like. And this one in particular, like, I can imagine. Like, you're reading the script, and it's just. It tugs at all the right heartstrings. It hits all these different themes. The character, like, arcs throughout the film. The way it touches on, like, a. A long relationship versus one that you had that end. I don't know, man. It's just. It's fantastic. It really is. One of my favorite lines from the movie. Joan says to both you and her former husband, and maybe the beautiful thing in life is that things end. And I just think it's a great line. And I know it wasn't, like, a pivotal moment of the movie or whatnot, but it really struck me. And I want to ask you, like, would you want to live in one of these eternities? Like, I'm, like, watching the whole film. Like, dude, I feel like if I was living in one of these eternities, like, eventually I wouldn't want to live in that eternity. Does that make sense?
Travis Kelce
Yeah, that's. That's a. That's a tough. Just, like, for the. Yeah, for eternity. That's tough. I don't know.
Jason Kelce
Yeah.
Travis Kelce
God damn.
Miles Teller
Yeah. It's funny, I was talking with. Because Kelly, she's very, you know, she grew up very religious, Catholic, and, you know, this, you know, 100. It's. She. She believes in, you know, eternity and, you know, living forever and your soul goes on. And really, we're on life in this physical form to kind of learn lessons. But I don't know. I was chatting with her about it. I was like, yeah, no, for sure. That's great. That's great. I was like, but what if you just want to shut it off at a certain point? Like, what if you just want to stop having consciousness? You know? I mean, like, maybe I'll just turn it off. But I think it's. I don't know. I was thinking about my perfect eternity, and I was saying mine would probably be, like, cul de sac world, where it's really just kind of like a middle America suburb. And I got like. Like, you Know, family members that I never met or, or family members I, I did get to know passed away, and some buddies of mine that passed away way too young, and hopefully all my dogs, actual dogs, animals, just so we can all just chill in this little neighborhood. I think that's. It's not going to be something like some big grand gesture. It's just kind of an extension of, of life. And, you know, those relationships that I, I do think life. Most important aspect of it is really nature relationships and those relationships that you kind of nurture. And I'm with you, you know, that's, that's what you're thinking about on your deathbed, I imagine. It's not, you know, career stuff, any of that crap. I think it's. You're just thinking about people.
Travis Kelce
It's kind of funny you mentioned the Thanksgiving feel of being around family and how that, how this film coming out around Thanksgiving kind of made you feel about that. I guess unknowingly, I was. I feel like I genuinely enjoyed it even more because I kind of put myself in the shoes of, like, these are like my parents. These are my parents going back in time, looking at their best, feeling at their best. Yeah, I kind of put myself in those shoes and enjoyed the movie from that aspect. Like, the, the people in our, like, age demographic, we're like, looking at our parents in a movie about them and how, how, how sweet and how crazy their past has been and how it can even, like, meet up in the afterlife. It was crazy.
Jason Kelce
The creativity of what afterlife is was fantastic and it was a new look and it's something that I, I don't, I don't think about it too often. I have my own thoughts on afterlife, but it was something fun to think about and like, what's really important and what do you value and what do you really want to carry with you through life? So fantastic film. Well done again. I mean, kudos. And I've asked you before, maybe we can ask this on pod. How do you pick films as a blockbuster actor? What is your process? How do you. Because I'd imagine the inbox is like.
Travis Kelce
I mean, he's.
Jason Kelce
It's got to be bigger than my email. It's just like scripts and, and people that are reaching out. Like, how do you, how do you sort through that onslaught of opportunities and really get to the ones that, that ring true to you?
Miles Teller
You know, it, it always starts with the script. Although I will say, if you work, if you are lucky enough to, to always work with a great director, then that's going to give you a pretty good shot. I 100% believe, you know, it is. It is a director's medium. And when you're on, you know, when you're on set, there's a. A lot of people doing similar jobs, but there's only one director on any given set. You know, it just shows you how rare that talent is. But I think, I don't know, for me, the first. I would say, like, first couple years of my career, I think I had a pretty good idea of. I wanted to, you know, show some range and I knew I wanted to do my, like, college buddy comedies. But then I also knew I wanted to do some kind of something a little more intense, drama wise. I, you know, I like to. Maybe some action stuff, but I think for me, if. If I'm. If there's anything that's really kind of steering my decisions, it's probably just that I don't want to be repetitive. You know, I. I've been doing it professionally now, I guess for like 16 years. I started it at 22. And now my audience, you know, those people that saw me at that age, like, now they're older as well with me. And so I just don't want to. I don't want to play down to them. I try and find things that I'm interested in. I. I just think I actually, I think I do have a wide range of interest. There's a lot of stuff that I, you know, am into, and I try and pick things that I do think are of quality, you know, whether or not the movie turns out like that awesome.
Jason Kelce
I don't know.
Miles Teller
Everybody's in it for different reasons, but for the most part, I'm trying to. I enjoy projects that. That kind of push me a little bit. I think, I think that's important.
Travis Kelce
You've been doing this for a while, man, but it's so fun to see you keep taking these new challenges and this A24 film is out. Eternity comes out November 26th. Make sure you check it out. You're. You're gonna love it, I guarantee it. But why don't we talk a little bit of your football love? Let's talk a little.
Miles Teller
Birds, let's go.
Jason Kelce
Now's the time. We need to know. Miles, thoughts on the 20, 25 birds. What do you think?
Miles Teller
You know, it's hard to argue with the, with the record at this point. Lost a lot of guys, you know, on defense. That line, you know, gets a little banged up. But I would say what I'm. I guess Most appreciative of. And it's kind of weird as an Eagle fan, but we, I just expect them to close teams out, you know. Like, I really do. I really do. I think, I think Jalen, that kind of just, you know, cool hand Luke back there. His demeanor, I think in the beginning of his career was maybe frustrating for Eagles fans because we're real passionate fan base and we want that quarterback. Maybe, you know, when you're winning, then it's all good there. You're like, all right, cool. Dude's unflappable. But then when you're losing, you're like, show some damn emotion, dude. But right, it's. I mean, Eagles have been. I mean, I think even under Andy Reid, he averaged like 10 wins a season, you know, in all those McNabb years. Like, there's been a few, couple of down years, but for the most part, I'm just really appreciative that that ownership and those players and those coaches put a winning product on the field.
Jason Kelce
Absolutely.
Travis Kelce
Oh, yeah.
Miles Teller
Almost year in it, year in and year out. And that's, that's very rare. I mean, Trav, what you're giving to those, you boys are giving to those Chiefs fans, I mean, that franchise just took off on a rocket with you boys. And now it's like, that's the standard. And I feel like, as, you know, NFC guy, I feel like Eagles, you know, Eagles. Eagles are that standard now. So it's just awesome to watch. I appreciate all the effort. I know.
Jason Kelce
Know.
Miles Teller
Can only imagine how much goes into it. Fans will never really know. So I'm just, I'm just happy to be a part of the ride.
Travis Kelce
And to be, to be honest, man, that's the one thing you see from the rest of the league is that the, from the top down, they are ran like a true organ, like a top tier organization. When you go there as a, as a fan, as a family member, I'm over here wearing the gang green when Jason's playing and I'm sitting here, I'm like, man, this is a, this is a well oiled machine. The family rooms, the. How they treat the players, how the players get, you know, embedded into that, ingrained into that city. From the top down, man, without a doubt, man. Philly's organization's top tier.
Jason Kelce
And you just touched on the ownership. Jeffrey Lurie just got put in the Philadelphia Sports hall of Fame. I think he's in there for contention. To be in the NFL hall of Fame one day as an owner. Certainly the success that they've had since he's taken over has been incredible. And I'm just lucky to have gone to an organization like that. And you know, you mentioned Andy Reid and I mean, how many owners have been to, I guess his fourth super bowl now with three different head coaches? Like, that's to retool and to be able to hit it again is pretty remarkable. When you think about the career achievements that he's had in Philadelphia. And I just saw a stat. I think Nick has more wins than the last decades. Decade of Giants football. And you think about the turnover that New York has had. They just fired Brian Dabolla and like, I think they had 54 wins in the last 10 years and Nick just surpassed him this past week. It's like, we've been pretty spoiled. No doubt about it.
Miles Teller
Until you win that first one, right? It's like, oh, Phil, you know, they're never gonna, never get over the hump. And now all of a sudden, you know, you were back in another one and then, you know, you win one and this and that, and it's like, can't even hear you down there. Giants fans. You know, we're not even.
Jason Kelce
Focused. Not even focused on you, dude. Dude, I gotta ask.
Travis Kelce
So I know we're talking birds right now. Knowing you, you're a huge Phillies fan. You follow every game. You watch every Birds game. Are you, you gotta be affiliate through and through. Do you watch the Broad Street Bullies every. Every game?
Miles Teller
Yeah, you know, when I was. I just don't watch hockey as much anymore. But when I was in South Jersey, those early 90s years, like doom with Ler Recky Lindros, Joel Garno, Ron Hextall, like, those were some bad, those were some badass teams. Oh yeah, and I, I used to, I used to love it. But yeah, I don't really watch, I don't really watch hockey as much. I mean, in Tahoe, I've gotten to know a bunch of those boys, you know, especially. Yeah, yeah, Oshi, when we're playing those.
Jason Kelce
Baseball games, I'm gonna be so mad if I can't be yelling schwar bombs this year. Freaking.
Miles Teller
Do a lap, do a laugh.
Jason Kelce
Oh gosh, so funny, dude.
Travis Kelce
For those of you that, that don't know the context, man, every year we play beer, beer drinking games in the back of the casino with the, with the core group of guys. And the hockey guys are in there. We're always in there. And man, I'll tell you what, Miles is one of the all stars of that goddamn back room, dude. It's like the conscience goes uncon.
Miles Teller
I feel like I'm, like, kind of coaching, too. I'm, like, set in line of. I'm, like, sitting the defense.
Travis Kelce
His manager.
Miles Teller
I'm like, yo, watch. Watch this sneaky little dude. He's. He's got. He's got something going on right now, and it's so fun. That's fun.
Travis Kelce
Look at this guy. He's got a point.
Jason Kelce
Yeah, baby.
Miles Teller
Yeah.
Jason Kelce
Ocean's Table MVP. Shout out to O.C.
Miles Teller
Oh, see, we had, like, that full, like, Stanley cup championship trophy, and I looked at a photo of me, I'm just, like, covered in booze. I was like, oh, yeah. I drank out of the thing, and.
Jason Kelce
I just fell all over me.
Travis Kelce
Man. Electric. Where are we at here, man?
Miles Teller
Trav, do you like playing on, like, Thanksgiving? Is that as a football dude?
Travis Kelce
Like, this is my first time playing on it, man. I've always, like, dreamed about playing on it because obviously, it started out playing in the backyard and just. Just screwing around. Always had the Turkey bowl around where we were with the friends and families, and I've always. Football and Thanksgiving, like, that's like. Those two go together like peanut butter and jelly, man. So I'm excited to play. We're. We're in Dallas, so I'll hold it down for. Try and hold it down for the. The Birds fans out there.
Miles Teller
You will.
Travis Kelce
You will get after. And get after the. The Cowboys, man. But, yeah, dude, I'm excited. I'm excited to do it, and hopefully, I'm. I'm eating turkey on the field afterwards.
Miles Teller
Sports, because was so. They. But what you guys played on Christmas.
Travis Kelce
Was that Christmas last year. Yeah.
Miles Teller
Yeah.
Travis Kelce
Yep. That was. That was a fun one, too. I'm not gonna lie. It was a. It was a day game, so we were in and out of Pittsburgh, and we even played this year on Christmas. It's a night game against, I believe, the Broncos, who we got this week, so.
Miles Teller
Okay.
Travis Kelce
It'll be a fun one, man. I. I'm in. I enjoy all the holiday games. I know it's. It kind of takes you away from the family, but. But at the same time, man, you get something for the family and friends to watch. And, you know, you're always getting texts when everybody's around the family sometimes. I got the. I'll get the picture of the. What the living room looks like sitting around watching, you know, the Chiefs play.
Miles Teller
So it's just. It's.
Travis Kelce
It's awesome, man. I love every bit of it.
Jason Kelce
Yeah.
Miles Teller
Yeah. Well, that's. That's. Evident just watching you play, too.
Travis Kelce
I mean, both.
Miles Teller
Both you guys. You could just see the. The pure. Just the pure joy. I would have loved to seen some of them backyard football games with you boys all growing up. It was a lot of. A lot of moxie. A lot of moxie.
Jason Kelce
I would always make Travis be the ball carrier just so I can try and obliterate him. We play this game in the backyard where he'd be on one end and I was on the other, and he had to try and get past me.
Travis Kelce
I wasn't big enough to take him down, so I was like, all right, I just got to be the crash dummy here. Jason fucking let out some of this anger since he was a 10 year old with anger management problems.
Jason Kelce
We got to mention this. We were just talking about Tahoe. Are you aware of the bet that we have this year for Tahoe? You've seen us both play. I have a bet with Travis. If I don't finish in the positives.
Travis Kelce
Is going to be on my side 100%.
Jason Kelce
Just let me finish. We just let me finish. If I finish in the positive this year, Travis has to dress as a blue man group member. Remember on the podcast, if I finish in the negative, again, I have to dress in the. As a blue man group. Who do you think is going to take this one?
Miles Teller
I mean, I never play my best golf there. I've broken 80, like, I don't know, maybe three, four times in my life. I'm, you know, I can play good golf. I've never finished in the positive there. Like, I've hovered and like, I've hovered at like, the end of 8. I've never even finished just around.
Jason Kelce
Yeah, I don't need.
Miles Teller
Think Vegas would put that bet on the board. You got, dude, have it as I would bring that bar down just a little. I would say, like, even. Yeah, even if you just finish. If you finish a round in the positive, that's a. That's a damn good round. That's probably. You're probably shooting, like, 84 tournament golf.
Jason Kelce
Trav, are you open to re. Redoing this bet in just one round in the positive?
Travis Kelce
Honestly, I still feel confident about that. Dude.
Jason Kelce
Dude, Ocean's Table. Ocean's Table. Oh, hey. Hi, Ellie. You say that. Oh, there we go. Nice. Nice.
Travis Kelce
Thank you, sweetie.
Miles Teller
Jay, is it. Is it a lot? I guess, since being. Since being retired and obviously I know you're. You're. You're still very, very busy, very active, but kind of getting to be. Be home, I imagine a little More. A little more present during kind of the holiday season. That's got to be pretty sweet, man.
Jason Kelce
It's awesome. Yeah. And I think you just mentioned Thanksgiving. We're already gearing up with plans for that. And, you know, Christmas isn't too far around the corner. I don't know, I'm like, I'm around more, but it's more chaotic when you play football. It's like very militaristic with the schedule. So, you know, when you're busy.
Miles Teller
Yeah.
Jason Kelce
Whereas now I feel like I'm kind of like all over. And in some ways it feels like even when I'm home, I'm getting pulled in other directions, which kind of takes it away a little bit. But yeah, I mean, dropping the girls off at school, being able to do that, pick them up. Yeah, for sure. I think that being around the family is where it's at. And I miss being around my football family. I'm not gonna lie. Like, I miss being around those guys, but being able to be around the kids. Be around.
Miles Teller
I'm sure. Yeah.
Travis Kelce
And I think he was getting to that because you're not playing a lot of golf. Jason. Jason, you're not getting better at that game.
Jason Kelce
Dude. I played golf once a week this year. Basically, I'm getting better. That's a. That's a lot, right? No way. I gotta go more.
Travis Kelce
Yeah, you gotta. Yeah.
Jason Kelce
I'm investing in a simulator to be in the positives. I just gotta get away from my negative shots.
Miles Teller
I know those double skin just gang up on you.
Travis Kelce
They can stack. Especially after a long night in the back of the casino.
Jason Kelce
That's right.
Travis Kelce
Ocean playing baseball. He left all his good shots to win the MVP of the Oshi's games. Dude.
Miles Teller
Well, that's the thing. It's like it's at altitude, you know what I mean? A lot of the time we are, you know, after the round, we're all hammering long drains. We're hammering some of them, the skinny finny. And then you're up at like, you know, sometimes your tee times are like real early in the morning. It's like, yeah, obviously I'm not playing my best golf. I just went to bed two hours ago.
Travis Kelce
That's the best, dude. I love Tahoe for that though, man.
Jason Kelce
We got a last segment ready. We're going to get to it. We got to ask. All right. We're just going to rapid fire ask some questions that we've always wanted to ask and we'll get you out of here. Sound good, Miles?
Miles Teller
Yeah, all good, dude.
Jason Kelce
Do Philly sports fans deserve the reputation we get?
Miles Teller
Yes and no. It's. It's a little. It's. There's a misconception there. But, you know, for the. What I think people get confused about is that Philly sports fans are informed when they're booing about something. A lot of the time, it's not a physical thing. It's just mental. Maybe a mental error. Some. We're. We're passionate, but they also. That's their life. They. You meet a random chick at the bar, she could tell you five relief pictures. Like, it's just a part of the culture. This is what it is.
Travis Kelce
So.
Miles Teller
Yes and no. But who gives. Yes and no. And also, who gives a.
Jason Kelce
Do you. Do you know anybody that has ever spent time at the jail, at the vet?
Miles Teller
Yes.
Travis Kelce
Just a quick, quick answer. I love it.
Miles Teller
Yeah.
Travis Kelce
You're in the new Michael Jackson bio pick.
Miles Teller
Yeah. It's funny, I think people. Because when I first got cast, I said, like, Miles Teller to star in Michael Jack's movie. And I think people literally thought I was playing him at some point. I was like, oh, my God, no, dude.
Travis Kelce
I mean, you got the moves. That's why. That's why. Because you got the moves, dude. They were like, dude, if somebody can moonwalk in this, like, Michael, I could see it.
Miles Teller
I tell you what, his nephew, who's playing it, him. There will never be anybody who will portray someone in a biopic that has. I mean, he's got a ton of that DNA already in him without even being a performer necessarily. But he. I mean, he trained for years, two, three years before he ever even rolled camera. And this kid is going to light that.
Travis Kelce
Wow.
Miles Teller
Screen on fire. It's. It's.
Travis Kelce
Oh, yeah.
Miles Teller
Michael Jackson's greatest, you know, greatest performers of all time.
Jason Kelce
Time.
Miles Teller
And to even be able to get close to mimicking him is really. It's almost impossible, but I think Jafar does it.
Jason Kelce
Awesome. Awesome. You and Travis both starred in sequels to iconic movies. Star. Yeah, that's right. Travis, just take it. All right. Is it more pressure working with Tom Cruise or Adam Sandler? What do you think?
Travis Kelce
Stop it.
Miles Teller
Absolutely, brother. Almost. Almost the same amount of time in between each sequel, too. The Sandman's great.
Travis Kelce
Is the greatest.
Miles Teller
Oh, man.
Jason Kelce
But Tom.
Travis Kelce
Tom is awesome, too, man. I had the pleasure of meeting him on Tay's tour, man, and he. He's awesome. It seems like he's. He's a lot like. He does all of his stunts, obviously, and he's. He seems like he's Very, like, I don't know, like, locked the in. Not this Sandler isn't. But when I was, When I was on Happy Madison set, like, it was a huge family. Like, everybody that worked on the Move the first movie 30 years ago is working on it now. Like it was. It was. I would assume that. That Adam Sandler does it a little bit different. But how was it with Tom?
Miles Teller
Yeah, man, I tell you what. Like, I, I mean, I had, you know, led a decent amount of films before Top Gun, but after working with Tom, I approached being one on a call sheet just a lot differently.
Jason Kelce
You.
Miles Teller
You kind of. Not only are you focused on your stuff and making sure you're leading from the front, but you also just become highly invested in the integrity of the entire production. I mean, Tom really, in a lot of ways, he's got a lot of Southern gentlemen roots and that he learned from. From his mom. And so he knows everybody's name. He treats everybody with respect and kindness. But also, like, what you're saying is that especially on. Usually on a Tom Cruise film, there's aspects of the filmmaking that are very physical, very technical, and everybody needs to be on their. Or somebody could. Something bad could happen. So that attention to detail, he does not, you know, he does not mess around with that. And honestly, I don't think I've ever met anybody who loves films, loves making films more than Tom. He's such a champion for it. And I learned. I learned so much from that guy. If he was. If he was on your football team, I mean, he's wearing that C and he just. He rises. Everybody rises just with his.
Jason Kelce
His ability. What are the chances we see Rooster again sometime? I hope very high.
Miles Teller
I hope very high.
Jason Kelce
Yeah.
Miles Teller
Yeah, dude, it just, you know, that movie came out, like, right before we did Tahoe. And just seeing all that red, white and blue out there and dudes showing me their Top Gun tattoos.
Jason Kelce
I love it.
Travis Kelce
Was it easier hosting SNL the first time or the second time around?
Miles Teller
Oh, this the second time. By, like, it's not even quantifiable. Dude, it was the first time. The first time. As you know, Trav, I mean, that week, everything is happening in such fast forward, you have nothing to relate it to. Even if you've talked to somebody who's hosted before, they can't even really give you all that much advice. You got to experience it for yourself. And I, Yeah, I thought when I hosted it the first time, I kept waiting for Lauren and to bring me aside and be like, hey, kid, like, you got to pick this up because I never felt prepared. And then.
Travis Kelce
At all.
Miles Teller
No. And then it goes by like that. But the second time. The second time, I felt a lot more relaxed. I was like, hey, can those writers. Can they come to the room? And I'd be like, hey, maybe we switched this line, this one or something. And the first time, I was. I. I was freaking out, dude.
Travis Kelce
Dude, I was. Yeah, you already know. I was on ice. That's just the best. I actually, I was lucky. I had Peyton Manning gave me. Shot me a text and was like, list, and I know where you're at right now. It was like the Monday before I even stepped foot in New York. And I'm. And he's just like, I know where you're at right now. Just buckle up for the ride. Be there when you're there. Give it all your attention, all your effort. And I was just like, bro, that. At the end of it, I was like, that was the best advice he could give me because there's nothing you could tell somebody that will get them ready for that. And. And I see the second time around, you. You're talking about. You were talking to the writers and everything. You have the credentials to do that? I. I don't have any.
Miles Teller
I would.
Travis Kelce
I would still go in there, not say anything. I made one comment to change the script just a little bit. I was like, what if I said this? They're like, yeah, that would. That would probably work too. And I was just like, all right, noted. Don't ever bring that up again.
Jason Kelce
Perfect.
Travis Kelce
She was hilarious.
Miles Teller
But with that being said, they are, like, the absolute best at what they do. Because I remember this last time. This last time, me and Marcelo had this sketch at the end, and we play, like, Italian waiters, and I'm about to go on in, like, a minute, and the writer comes. The writers come in, and they're like, yo, we just found out we got to cut a minute and a half from this sketch. So, like, all right, we're going to cut this, this, this, this. I said, yeah, but I need to get from this side of the table to the other. But you just cut that. She's like, fine. She's like, cool. I'll tell Marcelo to grab you on this line. And. And I just. I love the high wire act now that I. Now that I'm comfortable in it. But the first time, I just felt like. Like I'm gonna be that first host that looks like a deer in headlights in front of, you know, however many millions of people.
Jason Kelce
Dude, Kobe Bryant Said in the interview he was a big fan of whiplash. Is this one of the best compliments you've ever received? Like, how'd you feel about that, dude?
Miles Teller
I'll never forget where I was at. I was at the gym. I was working out, and it came up on Twitter or something. I read it. So then I tweeted like, a minute after, I was like, man, at Kobe, talking about whiplash and. And GQ made my life's highlight reel, you know, purple and gold, whatever, and tweeted it out like a minute or two later. A minute or two later, I get a notification, Kobe starts following you. So I was like, damn, I got to send him a message. So I sent him a message, not expecting a response. He responded almost immediately. And it went from like, exchanging, you know, Twitter messages to him giving me my phone number. And, I mean, I used to send him screenshots of me playing two kids day being like, y.
Jason Kelce
Like, that's amazing.
Miles Teller
Mess messed around, got a triple double today, dude. And he goes, that's a good day. Kobe was the freaking. Was the man.
Jason Kelce
Oh, that's great.
Travis Kelce
We always ask everybody that comes on the show what their welcome to their. Their profession moment was. Me and Jason asked each other what our welcome to the league moment is. We're going to ask you what is your welcome to Hollywood moment? It could be good. It could be just like a. A shock of like, oh, I'm.
Miles Teller
I'm doing this for the first movie I did. And I remember. So it was with Nicole Kimman and Aaron Eckhart. And I had just seen the Dark Knight very recently, so him as two face was very fresh in my mind. And I remember the director right before about to do. I didn't know this at the time, but I guess the director told him right before we did this scene. He's like, yo, Miles is straight out of college. This is his first movie. Like, go off book, scare the. Out of this kid.
Jason Kelce
And this is good. This is gold.
Miles Teller
So. So Aaron, like, an Eckhart man, like, he can. He can deliver rage in a way that really kind of. He's just.
Travis Kelce
It's.
Miles Teller
You feel it. And. But I remember he's, like yelling at me, and I just remember thinking in the back of my mind, like, this is so cool. Every 10 is getting on me. And I did. I literally felt. I felt like I was floating above my body, that I was just, like, watching Nicole Kidman and watching Aaron Eckhard feeling like I was like, in a dream just on a set with these actors. And then I heard the director yell cut. And I was like, oh, I just. I just fucked this up because I'm not even in character. Whatever. We do a couple takes, move on. And I remember going to my dressing room, giving myself a pep talk, and I was like, Miles, you know, you've always thought about what that moment, that break moment is going to be. And if you want to have the career you think you're going to have, like, this is that moment, you know, you got to lock in right now. So it was great. But initially it was kind of. It was.
Jason Kelce
I was like, what the is going on?
Travis Kelce
That is an awesome welcome to the Hollywood moment.
Jason Kelce
Well, dude, that's all we got, man. Do you have any. You feel free. You want to ask us any questions I don't know, before we wrap, or do you want to just go back to your life and.
Travis Kelce
This guy's insane.
Miles Teller
Trav, when you got like coming off, like when you are coming off a buy, are you doing any kind of like, study on your own or does that like the coaches prepare, they kind of have it all lined up. And then once you get back in the facility, then you think about it.
Travis Kelce
Yeah, shut it down.
Miles Teller
I watch.
Travis Kelce
I'll watch the games on Sunday or like the Thursday, Sunday and Monday games. But at the same time, I'm just like, let me just step away from this. Recharge. Yeah, come back in. And I kind of already. I self evaluate every single week you're doing it. So I kind of already. I already know where we're at and like, kind of where we need to be going and stuff like that. But the coaches do it from a completely like, different, like, scheme aspects that I'll just get all that information when I come back into the building.
Miles Teller
Do these seasons with you guys feel, like, repetitive? Even though you feel like, ah, man, this. I don't know, are we not doing this or. Because with you guys, it just, you know, until it doesn't. It goes through Kansas City. And I'm just curious if anything feels unique this year. It's all kind of.
Travis Kelce
It's crazy because last year it's kind of how. How you were talking about Philly. This year it's like last year we were winning every game at the end. Like, we were finding a way.
Miles Teller
Yeah. One score. Close ones. Yeah.
Travis Kelce
And it's. And it's been like, I think like the four losses that we've had are all within one score games. And they. They're all like, at the end of games, what happens? You know, a play Here, a play there, and all of a sudden we're. We're damn near undefeated. You know what I mean? Like, when you really look at the grand scheme of things, like, there's, there's huge plays at the end of games that if it goes the other way, like, we're in a completely different situation. So I think this year year offense being able to put up 30 balls every game, and, you know, our defense always seems to figure it out with Spags and, and. And the guys over there. So I'm, I'm kind of looking at this season like our team, I think, is rolling a little bit more. We just got to be able to, you know, finish these games off like we were last year.
Miles Teller
Jay, nfc. I mean, I imagine you're watching more. Dude, I watch games because with the analysts work is see it. I mean, obviously we know how good the freaking Rams are. We saw it in the playoffs and then we saw it this year with that block field goal away from them women. But when. And I feel like it's, you know, them and I mean, is Seattle is.
Jason Kelce
As good as their fucking record, dude, they're playing unbelievable. Their defense is low key, stacked. They got a lot of good players on their defense. Sam Darnold's balling out. It's one of those where I'm, I'm high on them, but I still got to see him do it in like, crucial situations against really good teams, especially down the stretch. Like, Sam Donald was great in Minnesota last year, and they looked like they could do a lot of damage in the playoffs, and obviously it fizzled out for him. But there is something that I really like about Seattle. I do think the Rams, at the end of the day, the strongest in the NFC West. I think we're right up there, man. I really do. I think. I think it's Eagles. If I was going to pick three teams that I feel like are the most consistent right now in the nfc, it's probably Seattle, the Rams and the Eagles. Yeah, Lions are right up there too. But they've had a couple games where it's like, I don't know what the heck's going on on.
Travis Kelce
They got Dan Campbell calling plays now, though, baby.
Jason Kelce
Let's go with the glasses on, the readers on. I'm like, God damn, that's a freaking look.
Miles Teller
Why does the AFC east not travel well to Miami, even when it's not like balls hot? Because even Brady, I think, only had like a.500 record or something in Miami. Like, what the.
Travis Kelce
What.
Miles Teller
What is it?
Travis Kelce
It's the divisional games. Dude, anybody can sneak up on you, man, even no matter what their record is. Like, these teams just know you so well, and they. They get fired up because it's divisional opponents, and you get to see him twice, and it's crazy. It's crazy how these things work in.
Jason Kelce
The division, man, but you're having.
Miles Teller
You're having fun, Trav, man.
Travis Kelce
Flying high, baby.
Jason Kelce
Yeah.
Travis Kelce
Flying high, man.
Jason Kelce
Good, Good.
Travis Kelce

Travis Kelce
Yeah, get this. Get this super bowl rematch like we all want, right?
Jason Kelce
Head in there. Miles is in the suite two Super Bowls ago.
Miles Teller
Yeah, I mean, that. That super bowl two ago, and bacon. Just give me the business, dude. When people saw that video, they're like, yo, what the did Miles do to that kid? 40 punches.
Travis Kelce
Megan's out of control, man. Love that, dude. Hey, dude, you gotta protect them ribs, baby.
Jason Kelce
The ribs in the chin.
Travis Kelce

In this spirited, wide-ranging episode, brothers and NFL veterans Jason and Travis Kelce bring their trademark blend of football insight, locker room humor, and sibling rivalry. This week covers Jason’s snowy Lambeau Field adventures (with Ed Kelsey), Travis’ New York City bye week recharge, a passionate Eagles-Packers game recap, and a lively interview with actor Miles Teller. The trio unpacks Teller’s new film Eternity, the unique energy of Philadelphia sports fans, and their takes on family, legacy, and the NFL's quirkiest current headlines.
[07:25–18:58]
Travis’ Bye Week in NYC:
Travis shares how he prefers to break out of the season’s rigid routines with a city escape:
“…I like to get away, recharge, see something else, see a new city, feel like I'm somewhere else and kind of just shut it down.” — Travis Kelce [09:38] He details favorite spots like Puffy’s Tavern and the joy of blending into the NYC crowd, despite his fame.
The Magic of Lambeau:
Jason journeys to Green Bay with their dad, skates with locals, and waxes poetic about the history and spirit at Lambeau Field. Highlights include the Lambeau tour, cheese curds, gigantic prime rib at Schwarz’s Supper Club, and the sense of Midwest camaraderie:
“There's just like a…camaraderie or communal aspect of people that have to go through that kind of weather.” — Jason Kelce [15:32]
He raves about the Packers’ fan ownership model and the way Green Bay preserves NFL history:
“The way it started and the fact that it's the only publicly owned franchise in the NFL...it's a very special place.” — Jason Kelce [17:13]
“If you have not done it, it is one of the coolest experiences and one of the most sacred experiences the NFL has to offer.” — Travis Kelce [17:41]
[25:19–31:45]
“Football Weather” at Lambeau:
The Kelces break down a classic cold-weather grind between the Eagles and Packers (Eagles 10, Packers 7), focusing on stout defenses and crucial decisions.
Jason’s Inside Perspective:
Jason details the strategy behind the controversial 4th-and-6 Eagles call:
“I thought punt because...you don't want to give too good a field position here to Green Bay. Your defense has been playing well. It's cold...And then they snap the ball and I'm like, oh shit, they're actually running a play.” — Jason Kelce [28:05]
Game-Losing/Winning Decisions:
They analyze the Eagles’ aggressive nature under Nick Sirianni and credit the Packers’ defense, especially their linebackers.
[32:23–35:47]
Giants Fire Brian Daboll:
Jason and Travis reflect on the New York Giants letting go of head coach Brian Daboll and their friend Mike Kafka stepping in:
“Coach Kafka was Mike Kafka quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles when I first got into the NFL...Now the interim head coach, can't wait to see what Kaffies can do up there.” — Jason Kelce [32:48]
Mike McDaniel Trolls Bills Fans:
Laughter as they spot Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel allegedly driving past a Bills bar in Miami, post-upset, in pure troll mode.
“He's definitely trolling. He's just. He's driving. He's slow turning it. Got the arm out the window.” — Travis Kelce [35:51]
[39:12–42:46]
Dan Campbell’s Reading Glasses:
Love for Lions head coach Dan Campbell’s intimidating/trendy eyewear (“stamp of the week goes to those readers.” — Travis Kelce [39:16]).
Thick Six Celebration:
Joy for a defensive lineman’s rumbling touchdown:
"Anytime you see a fat boy running with the ball, it's good." — Travis Kelce [39:52]
Mathew Stafford’s New Record:
Travis hails Stafford’s perseverance:
“After 231 starts, Matt Stafford is finally above 500...he is now 115 and 115.1 Overall Record.” — Travis Kelce [42:14]
[45:32–85:06]
Plot and Inspiration:
Miles recounts the plot of Eternity, about selecting your “forever” in the afterlife.
“There's like Smoker's World, because cancer can't kill you twice...but you only choose once. And you can choose to be with whoever you want…” — Miles Teller [49:21]
Emotional Resonance:
Jason and Travis praise the film’s humor and heart, with Jason highlighting a favorite line:
“...maybe the beautiful thing in life is that things end.” — Jason Kelce [51:42]
Miles reflects:
“I just think I actually...do have a wide range of interest. There's a lot of stuff that I, you know, am into, and I try and pick things that I do think are of quality…” — Miles Teller [55:48]
What Sets Philly Fans Apart:
“It's a little...misconception there. But...Philly sports fans are informed when they're booing about something. ...Some. We're passionate, but they also. That's their life.” — Miles Teller [69:43]
Birds Breakdown:
Teller shares his admiration for the Eagles’ stability:
“We, I just expect them to close teams out, you know. Like, I really do. ...His demeanor, I think in the beginning of his career was maybe frustrating for Eagles fans...but for the most part, I'm just really appreciative that that ownership and those players and those coaches put a winning product on the field.” — Miles Teller [57:52]
Legacy of Jeffrey Lurie:
Jason praises owner Jeffrey Lurie for sustained success:
“How many owners have been to...his fourth super bowl now with three different head coaches?” — Jason Kelce [60:03]
Kobe DM’d Him After Whiplash:
“I get a notification, Kobe starts following you. ...he responded almost immediately. ...Kobe was the freaking...man.” — Miles Teller [77:00]
Welcome to Hollywood Moment:
“I just fucked this up because I'm not even in character...I was like, you've always thought about what that moment, that break moment is going to be. ...you got to lock in right now.” — Miles Teller [79:59]
SNL Hosting, Tom Cruise vs. Adam Sandler, and Movie Selection:
Teller discusses hosting SNL twice (“second time was way easier”), learning from Tom Cruise’s work ethic, and how he chooses projects for challenge and variety.
New Heights Ep. 164 delivers the full spectrum of NFL brother banter, heartwarming stories, and insightful pop culture crossover. With Jason’s detailed trip to Lambeau, Travis’ love for big city byes, their deep football analysis, and a truly engaging interview with Miles Teller, listeners get an inside look at life in and around the league.
