Chiefs Brazilian Bummer, "Spitgate" and Chiefs-Eagles showdown with Kevin Hart & Rob Riggle | Ep 153

24:51Can you imagine that highlight? Yeah, we probably shouldn't put that in there either. I think most people know I'm joking, but we'll see. I felt like both offenses struggled after the delay. Both offenses were clicking really early. I thought the Eagles came out with their beginners or whatever you want to call it. They had some really cool design plays, some big hitters. And then after that, it kind of felt like it was a little bit slower offensively. I thought Jalen Hurts played really well and took what the defense was giving them, was very smart, was very calculated. But the one glaring thing is obviously we got to give fucking A.J.

25:26Brown the ball. I mean, I think that that's – we can't let a game get to that point without getting them the ball. And you've been a part of this. What's it like being in a game where it's just not coming your way? Oh. Like, it's – Bro, you're winning? Who gives a fuck? Man, get the fuck out of here. I played receiver. I know when you were getting open and you're not getting the ball, it is frustrating as fuck. I don't want to hear this. If we're winning, nobody wants to hear it. Nobody wants to hear how you feel. when we're winning. So don't even let yourself get to that point, dog. I'm not even letting, I'm saying, but what's going on in your head?

26:04What's the honest truth in your head that's happening? We're winning. I can't say shit. Nobody's saying you're going to say something. I can't say shit. What am I going to say? Oh, I need the ball. Nobody's saying, what are you going to say? Give me a chance. That's what I'm saying in my head. I'm just like, we're winning. Let's keep this fucking thing going. You're not frustrated one bit. No. I'm not buying that. Do I feel like I'm not contributing as much as I could? Yes, but that's not frustrating. There's nothing frustrating about winning. Let's move on. I'm pissed because I'm not getting the ball.

26:40If we're winning, there's nothing to be pissed about. I'm not saying you're pissed. I said frustrated, which is two different things. And I think that it is very normal when you're a receiver and you're open and you're not getting the ball. You feel like you're one of the best players in the league and you're not being incorporated into an offense. I think it's a very normal feeling to be a little bit frustrated, even if the offense is winning the game. I still think it's normal to be like, man, come on, man. Like, I still think that's a normal thing. Now, he still went out there and played. And to my knowledge, he didn't complain about it one bit.

27:12But I think moving forward, I mean, this is the way it works. Like, the coaches are going to make sure that there's more design things for him. I would say I'm so wrapped in the team's success and everything, and I get excited about everyone else's success that I'm not really – if we're not performing as an offense and I'm not, like, getting opportunities like that, yeah, that's frustrating, you know, because I feel like I can help my team with that. But if we're rolling as an offense, I don't have anything to be frustrated about. Well, I can tell you, I played freshman football. I played receiver for a little bit.

27:47Well, Jason, I saw all those games, and you guys were not winning. I'm telling you what, I was getting frustrated. I was like, throw me the fucking ball. What the fuck are you doing? I'm the best player on this field. Why are we not throwing me the ball? That's fucking the dumbest thing in the world. Coachoon's having me run laps. How could you be so selfish? Like, fuck you, Coachoon. I didn't say that one bit. You would never tell Coachoon that. I would never say that to Coachoon. That mustache would beat my ass. He put you in a full Nelson. But, dude, I just think being a receiver and not getting the ball.

28:21And listen, A.J.'s a great teammate. He's going to make sure that he's not making it vocalized in a negative way. And I just, you know, we got to – you can't let four quarters go by before this dude touches the ball. It's just not – not only to keep him happy, just to have the best offense. Like, he's the best player on the team. He should be touching the ball. I mean, I'm not throwing... I mean, Saquon's pretty good, too. Jalen's pretty good. I mean, we've got a lot of good players, fortunately, in Philadelphia, but... You want to get that guy the ball if you're the Eagles. And I'm not even saying, like, Jalen played great.

28:55I don't know what the answer is. I just fucking blocked for a living, but... Nice. All right. Any other takeaways from the Eagles week one? Yeah, I mean, listen, everybody's talking about... You know, we could have played better in the back end. to corner position two has been one that we've been trying to figure out. Adoree Jackson had a tough matchup. C.D. Lamb is one of the best receivers in the league. They've got George Pickens now, and Dak Prescott's a great quarterback. I mean, the Dallas offense has some playmakers, and the offensive line played pretty well. I know they're kind of young and new, but I still got faith in these guys.

29:30They'll figure it out. I think even Adoree Jackson figured it out. If everybody remembers from last year, defense looked a little spotty through the first four games. It's not how you start. and I think we have great coaches. We really do. And everybody knows Vic Fangio is a great coach. I think our position coaches are fantastic as well. I think our DB coaches, our linebacker coaches, our DLI, I've seen guys develop, and that's what gives me confidence. Like I know it was a rough night, but the beautiful thing about football is, I mean, unless you get benched, you get an opportunity to go out there and make that correction, right?

30:03And you get an opportunity all week to try and get better, and we're going to get to see how these guys respond. this week against Kansas City and moving forward. And I got to think that these guys are going to be able to make the adjustments necessary. Offensively, I think there's a lot of good to take away from it. Not consistent enough. Not consistent enough in the run game, right? We let some of the movement things get us a little bit here and there. But overall, as a week one game, I'm happy that we won. We hung in there and played well enough long enough to get a win. And now we can keep moving forward, making the corrections, and getting back to where we need to be to try and compete for another world championship.

30:45That's my takeaways. Well, we'll see you birds next week. How about that? Arrowhead, baby. Woo-hoo! Arrowhead's going to be rocking. All right. I say we talk about the rest of the NFL week one. Nice. All right. Let's get into it. We're calling this section rest of week one, overreact, underreact. We're going to hit a bunch of topics and say, is everybody overreacting to this or is everybody underreacting? Are we overreacting? I don't even know. We'll figure out how we do this. All right. Ravens and Bills was the game of the year. It was incredible. I mean. Outstanding game. Was this a collapse or a comeback is the question.

31:25I mean. It's both. I hate to say it. It's both, but it's a little bit of. It's a collapse. It's a collapse, man. You can't blow a 40 to 25 lead. Like, if you lose that lead, it is far more on the team that had the edge winning, right? 100%. Can't let a team come back from that. And on top of that, you got the best player in the world. The best running game in the league. You have literally a two-headed monster back there in terms of speed and lightning and Lamar and King Henry. And, I mean, I know Derrick Henry's got to be kicking himself. He's probably already taken the blame for the loss. I think he had stand-up guy.

32:06I think he had like maybe two fumbles all of last season. I've never seen the man fumble in my life. It's nuts. I've played him every single year in the AFC. Never seen him fucking fumble the football ever. And in his defense, Ed Oliver was on him as he was getting the handoff. It's like he was taking off one finger at a time. Yeah. You know what I mean? It was a crazy situation, man. Yeah, I know. And it wasn't even just him. like it all started bro they they punted a ball the ball is like dribbling at the one yard line clearly not going in that's when that happens and this dude just jumps on it and like and we go over this this is why it's frustrating that people this has gone over like routinely in special teams meeting do not go into the end zone like what do we there's no need to like if i can see the ball You dive on the ball, right?

32:57Just hit it back. Yeah. Dude. Never let your momentum take you into the end zone. It's just a very basic premise. That's a tough one. And it was from there that the Bills got the ball to 20-yard line. That's when the whole thing started, right? Then all of a sudden, the Derrick Henry exacerbates things. They score on a tipped fourth down or whatever into the end zone on that one. That was a great-ass tip. It was completely wild. And then the four-minute drill. They do like two hand – one hand off to Derrick Henry on like an outside zone play. Then they do like a gadget little like jet sweep play.

33:30It's like, dude, put the ball in Lamar Jackson's hands. What the fuck are we doing? And then they finally get aggressive, throw on third down. They're short. And then the election to punt. I mean, even that's like at that point, you can't give the ball back to Josh Allen. It's too much time. He's got four downs in over a minute to get into field goal range. We can't do that, right? And he's got momentum. Not just momentum. They're like, they're running downhill. This thing is, this is an avalanche at this point. And the only thing that can stop the avalanche is the abominable Lamar Jackson. That's the only thing that's going to be able to stop this motherfucker.

34:08It definitely should have been in his hands for sure. In hindsight, it's always 20-20. I know that those fourth and three is a tough one. If it's fourth or two and one, I bet it's not even a question. Fourth and three is like, man, this is like, this is hard. and if it doesn't happen, it's – well, I guess if it doesn't happen, then you've got to hope you can get three and out, let them get the field goal, and hopefully get the ball back to try your own version of this. Yeah. So are people overreacting or underreacting to this game? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, the segment. There's a premise. There's a premise here.

34:38I mean, it's not – it's too early to be game of the year, so I'll go overreact. But, I mean, it's fucking incredible. The stakes aren't high enough, even though it's going to be two of the best teams in the AFC. I think game of the year, game of week one for sure. Yeah, no question. It was one of the best ways to kick off the opening week of NFL in the history. Both MVPs of the last two years, Lamar and Josh Allen, going head-to-head like that. Yeah. And you're seeing an MVP performance out of both of them. Yeah. They both are. Hell yeah. Sign me up. I'll watch that shit again. I also got a shout-out, Matt Prater.

35:10Hey! Yeah, we got Elizabeth Walker telling us on Twitter, Matt Prater going from coaching youth football to game-winning kicks within 72 hours. This guy was at youth football practices and then going straight to the Bills on a desperate heave to get a kicker in there at the age of 41. Yeah, baby. And then kicking the game-winner for him, man. Everybody threw him on their shoulders like he was Rudy, man. That shit was electric at the end. I don't even know if we have this in here, but how many games were lost from kicks this weekend? I mean, missed extra points, missed field goals. I mean, could Shador kick?

35:51If we wanted Shador to get on the field, he might have a better chance of getting up there kicking. Shador, he can't do worse. Now I want to see if he can kick just for the fun of it. He can't do worse. I mean, that was wild. All right. Overreact, underreact. Wide receiver one, struggling in week one. Jamar Chase, two for 26. A.J. Brown, one for eight. I'm on Ross St. Brown, four for 45. Nico Collins, three for 25. Tyreek, four for 40. overreact. It's week one, ladies and gentlemen. They're the best players on their team. The defenses have had all offseason to try and find a game plan for them.

36:24I think that's a bit of an overreact. I'm with you. I think that it's always interesting starting the year. A lot of times it ends up being extremes, I feel like. Coaches have put in all this time trying to do new things. How do we combat things? How do we expand on things, innovate the sport in certain plays? So I always feel like the first four weeks some of the teams just come in with something that's really working and some teams come in with stuff that it's just like it's not working for them so you end up having some teams like blow out like the jets look like the best team in the nfl right now they've i mean they damn near beat the pittsburgh sealers just to feel dominated like we'll see how this keeps transitioning as the season goes but it's always interesting early on it does feel like it's not a lot of middle ground.

37:11It's like, okay, either what you tried to do this offseason worked or didn't. Or guys are executing or they're not. And then eventually the law of averages and norms and people getting more tape out there and figuring out ways to execute leads to a more consistent basis, especially for a lot of these guys. So I'm with you. I think it's an overreact. I think you'll see these numbers fixed pretty quick. Overreact, underreact, veteran QBs had great games on new teams. Are these just week one wonders? Daniel Jones, obviously new team, veteran QB, had a great game. Colts got the dub. Aaron Rodgers, back to looking like Aaron Rodgers, went for 244 and four tutties.

37:54Geno Smith, 362. God damn! On a Patriots defense. Geno's been balling now for like three years. Yeah, I mean, there's a reason why I play tight end. And it's because of Geno. Justin Fields, now a veteran quarterback, maybe didn't have as many starts as all these other guys, but 16 to 22 for 218 in a tutty and 32 points. Yeah. Or led a team to score 32 points. Are we overacting or underreacting to veteran QBs having great games, and are they one-week wonders? So the underreact would be saying that they're one-week wonders? Yes. I don't know that I'm on either fence here. I think that Daniel Jones finally being behind a competent offensive line might lead to different Daniel Jones than people have seen.

38:40I think Aaron Rodgers being in a new building that has a much better culture will lead him to playing pretty well. Justin Fields is probably the biggest outlier, as well as Daniel Jones of the bunch. I do think that quarterbacks oftentimes will come in, even backups, and you'll see like midseason, whenever, you'll see them play two, three, four games at a really high level. And then all of a sudden there's a drop off. And I think once there's tape out there, a lot of these things revert back to what the skill set actually is. so i don't think that we're overreacting i think it's fair to say these guys perform really well yeah and i but i also don't think that they're one week wonders like i think by all accounts these guys could end up being the sam darnolds of this year or the geno smith three years ago or the baker mayfields of what happened down in tampa bay like a change in scenery a lot of the times can prove to be pretty damn good for talented quarterbacks Hell yeah.

39:44I'm with you on that. Overreact, underreact. Lions without Ben Johnson struggles. I think that is pretty on par. I don't think that's overreact or underreact. They got to find some. It's a fair concern, especially with the way it looked. The Lions didn't get into the end zone until the final drive and garbage time, basically, with an incredible catch, by the way. Yeah, I know. I think that everybody is accurately questioning what the Detroit Lions are. And I think when you go out and play offensively like that, I think you're going to get that. I also don't think it's just Ben Johnson, though.

40:22I think that they lost their entire interior line has been either lost or reshuffled. Frank Ragnow retired, Zeitler left. Glasgow has played guard for them more routinely is now playing center. So that's a lot of change with three out of the 11 starters on your offense, especially in an offense that's predicated primarily on running the football and play action. They were held to 44 yards rushing. The last time that happened, I was still in the NFL. This is a new Lions offense. That's like over a year ago. Yeah. I mean, I think it's an overreaction. Dan Campbell, if there's one thing Dan Campbell is going to get going, it's that run game.

41:01He's a tough son of a buck. His teams are always one of the toughest in the league. He's going to get those guys motivated, fired up, running the football, get Gibbs and Montgomery going, and that's going to open up everything in the back. And also, the Packers are pretty damn good, especially with Parsons on the team. Like, this is a very new and improved. I think that's even more of the overreactions. They weren't playing any just slappies. Well, that's the underreaction. People are underreacting to, like, how good the Packers, I think, are going to end up being this year. There you go. All righty.

41:33Do we want to show Micah Parsons' first sack? Dude, he came out of this thing like a bobcat. Did you watch this? Check out Parsons' sack. Watch this. Second and 10. His golf's being chased by Parsons. He's got him. He's got him. He's got him. His first sack as a Green Bay Packer. It's like every single time in Terminator when he's, like, finally getting away from the silver dude. Yeah, and he's just like. And he looks in his rear view, and the dude is just fucking. That is so good. That is so good. that is such a good reference that dude's so fucking freakishly athletic man so powerful yeah i was gonna say it like reminded me of like a lioness hunting like a gazelle like it just like it was like in the in the weeds and then it's like out there but i think i like your analogy way back that was dope that i immediately brought back memories that was great all right um last thing mike tomlin quote of the week i mean you could give this to mike tomlin every week he's a quote machine he is our kicker is a serial killer what let's see this i mean i can't say enough about boz um and our kicker is a serial killer man he's he got a low pulse rate he can't wait to deliver way to fire up your kicker the most non-violent like threatening position on the field but if we're being honest a lot of times That's what serial killers are.

43:00A lot of times serial killers are, you know, they're not like the big bad guy. They're the guy that's living off in the cabin and creating bombs and stuff. The guy's over on field three kicking. Yeah. Hey, what's that guy doing over there? Why is there a package in my front door? All right. That does it for bold topics brought to you by Sunday. Ticket on YouTube TV. And don't forget the multi-view in the NFL Sunday ticket. You can watch up to four games at once. Oh, hey now. Sign me up. I'm already signed up. I used it actually at the bar this week. At the bar, I couldn't see all the games at Jake Melnick bar in Chicago.

43:44Yeah. So I had the four panel going on my phone, and I was watching two other games on the TV. They had the Browns game going over top at the end of it when the freaking kicker kept missing the fingers. That was frustrating. I was kind of like, come on, Browns. You can do it. You can be the hero for Cleveland. We can do it. Don't forget the multi-view and NFL Sunday ticket. You can watch up to four games at once. Hey, how about a quick fave four, Trav? Fave four NFL Sunday ticket and YouTube TV features. I think obviously one of them is you can watch YouTube TV and you can watch NFL games anywhere.

44:21Not right now. How about no hidden fees? I'm a big fan of no hidden fees. big fan of no hidden fees how about uh up to six individual accounts i'll tell you what that's gonna come in mighty handy as these girls start growing up i don't want them messing up my algorithm uh what's a what's a fourth one i'll probably go being able to just build out your entire own multi view yeah you pick your four games you want to watch yeah but it's not even just the games like anything on youtube tv like your home page and like it starts to learn what you like so you like you can build out basically watching college games and the u.s open last week nice all righty before we get to our guests try to do a little stamp of the week yeah yeah we're bringing stamp of the week back baby and after the first week of the nfl season let's get to a little stamp of the week see who we uh give some love to stamp of the week is brought to you by Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers.

45:20How about it, man? Raising Cane's. Who doesn't love fried chicken? Shout out to our friends at Raising Cane's. How about it, man? My stamp of the week is tight end. Indianapolis Colts, Tyler Warren. First game of his career, seven receptions, 76 yards with a quarterback that everybody said didn't have it anymore with Daniel Jones, man, just to surprise the entire NFL. And I'll tell you what, man, this guy was a fucking problem at Penn State. When he got the ball, he got north. He knew exactly how to knife the defense, could go up, make any catch you need. I'm excited to see this guy's career keep going, and a hell of a way to start off your NFL career, brother, with a dub and seven receptions for 76 yards, man.

46:04Congrats. If you're going with a rookie, I'm going to go with the opposite of a rookie. I'm going to go with Matthew Stafford, our good friend. Matthew Stafford, baby. Former New Heights guest. Matthew Stafford became the 10th player to throw for 60 ,000 yards in the NFL. Holy smokes. That is rare territory. Way to go, Matthew. Congratulations. Once again, Stamp of the Week is brought to you by Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers. They're everywhere. Go and get yourself. All right, now. Let's get to the Eagles Chiefs preview. We got some fun guests we want to introduce here real quick. A little differently.

46:43Do you want to do the annex? You know it, Trev. Get ready. All righty. Now it is time to preview what is now the annual Chiefs-Eagles game. But you guys have heard us talk about both of these teams enough, so we're going to be bringing in two super fans to help us preview the game. First up, representing the Kansas City Chiefs. From the University of Kansas, he is an actor, comedian, and a United States Marine. Come on now. From the Hangover, Step Brothers, 21 Jump Street, The Daily Show, Holy Moly, and so much more, please welcome Mr. Rob Riggle! Yeah! Big Rick! Yeah, big Rick!

47:25It's unbelievable! What a day! It's the best team ever! Team Man! Oh, my God, that's great. Thanks, guys. Grant, I'm so glad to be here. I can't wait to see who you brought on. to join us today. I'm so excited. Well, represented the Philadelphia Eagles from the Community College of Philadelphia. He is a comedian, entrepreneur, actor, and producer. You know him from his global stand-up shows, Jumanji, Ride Along, Coldest Balls, all the DraftKings commercials, and much more. Then we have time to really rattle off. Please welcome Mr. Kevin Horde! Philadelphia's own heartbeat. For the first time, I think I've realized that I don't have any phrases.

48:11Rob had a bunch of noises. You guys. Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, meow. Yo, yo. Pew, pew, pew. Pew, pew, pew. Yeah. I have nothing. I have absolutely nothing. It's just me. Fuck off, Rob. Well, are you guys ready to represent your team? I am. We know what we're here for? I am. All righty. How are we feeling about the season so far? Let's start with you, Rob. Well, it's an easy conversation. I mean, it's not starting off with a bag. Damn it! It's not starting off with a bag. I believe he's asking me. Well, yeah, I'm saying, but in this case, it's not starting off with a bag. I'm sorry. It's tough.

48:49So I figured I would help with your answer, right? I didn't set you up with this, Rob. This is what great moments are made of. This is what it is. You can't have a comeback unless you start out a little rocky. So what? We lost the first game. It was in a totally different time zone. We were playing in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean for crying out loud. How does anybody expect you to play at these times? This is ridiculous. So first of all, we're fighting the clock. We're fighting the other team. You're playing on a different continent for crying out loud. I can't understand anything anybody's saying.

49:28That's weird. Nobody understands. It was weird. I just put that in a weird category. So the season really starts. Hey, hey, it starts this weekend. And of course, it's going to be a repeat. Oh, it's going to be electrified. Loudest stadium in the world. I don't know if that's true, but definitely in America. And, you know, I just think it's going to be an incredible week. So to answer your question shortly, not not super stoked about the way it started, but super excited about where it's going. There we go. Spoken like a spoken like a true loser. Right. No, spoken like a true loser. I mean, I heard everything but accountability there.

50:10Everything but accountability. Everything but accountability. We talked about Brazil. We talked about the time zones. We talked about not being able to understand fatigue. I didn't hear anything that I should have heard. And by the way, that's the bigger issue. That's the issue that we're dealing with right now in general. We're dealing with a much larger issue, Rob. and you may not want to address it, but I will. Jason, throw the question to me, please. Can I go? Can you ask me, Jason? Kevin, how do you feel about the start to the season so far for the Philadelphia Eagles? First of all, I've never been more ecstatic about a football season in my life.

50:47I mean, listen, you know, when you come off of a Super Bowl, the first thing that you want, right, as a competitor, as a guy that understands what happens in these locker rooms, The first thing that you want to see at the start of a new season, you want to see the same energy and you want to see the same tone. More importantly, you want to see that. You want to see that tone get set out the gate, coming out the gate and handling handling the Cowboys, who are, yes, in our division. It sets a tone. It sets a tone to say we're back and we're ready to do what we did before. By the way, everybody else in the NFL, I don't know what you guys are doing, but guess what we're doing?

51:24We're playing winning football. This isn't Kansas City. This is the Philadelphia Eagles. It's the Philadelphia Eagles. I mean, talk about being pumped up. You're fucking firing me up, Cameron. You're firing me up, Cameron. I've never been pumped up. And by the way, by the way, I saw a little rust. I saw some things where, you know, we got some kinks and stuff that we got to work out. I want AB to get the ball a little more. I want to see our wide receivers be a little more active. Saquon did exactly what we thought that he would do. We have a very strong football team. and not having our defensive recruit that we just got on the field.

51:58I didn't like that. I didn't like the spit moment. So I want to see him on the field. I want to see what happens to our defense when we got that type of talent out there. So if you notice, there's a lot of energy to what I'm saying, Jason. It's energy. Big time energy. Not like Rob. When Rob was talking, he was stuttering. He was stuttering. He had a stroke. He had a stroke in the middle of it. He was like, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what, what. It was bad. Not me. Philadelphia, baby. E-A-G-L-E-S. These eyes are clear, Kevin. These eyes are clear. This heart is pure. It's ready to go.

52:31Oh, my goodness. The Chiefs, this is nothing. This is nothing. Week one, there's a lot of season left. All right? Let's get this back to the family show that we are. Little friendly time. Friendly time. Kevin, very, very clearly passionate about the Philadelphia Eagles. Can you please say something nice about the Kansas City Chiefs? Yeah. I think the nicest thing I can say is that they had a good run. I think they had a good run. And I will say this, man. I will say this. Greatness should always be celebrated. There's no way that you can ignore the level of greatness that the Kansas City Chiefs put on display.

53:06But what happens when greatness is displayed, people get motivated and they want to taste. And right now, the Eagles are in position to have their run of greatness. I mean, when you go and look back at the last four Super Bowls, right, the Eagles are definitely a part of the conversation. Three of those Super Bowls we were in. Two of them we won. Not only are we winning, but we're a part of the conversation. The Kansas City Chiefs have been a part of the conversation for years. Before them, it was the Patriots. It's amazing to see dynasties happen. But dynasties end so that there can be new ones.

53:38That's the most exciting thing. So I just hope they had a good run. That is very nice. All right, Rob Riggle, can you please say something nice about the Philadelphia Eagles? Well, here's the thing. Kevin's right. There are dynasties happening. Chiefs, obviously, is one of them. I mean, if you talk about a team that owns the 20s thus far, it's the Chiefs. They've been there every step of the way, undeniable. And the Eagles have had their moments. I won't deny that either. The Eagles have had their moments. It's been pleasant for them, I'm sure. Not as great as us, but it's been great for them.

54:12They have these little pockets, these little happy side parties going on. It's fun. but your question was I want to get back to that your question was something positive about the Eagles you know what the question was Rob answer the question I just want to I don't want to say I'm struggling to come up with something to say because I do you know what here's the thing I'll say about Eagles fans you never have to guess where you stand with an Eagles fan I appreciate that I respect that That's a very nice thing. That's very nice. They will throw punches. They will throw hands. They will tell you to S your own D in the parking lot.

54:58They shove people downstairs. They pull shirts over heads with hockey blows. It's all there. They punch out horses. I mean, you never have to get where you stand with an Eagles man. Yeah. Very passionate city. That's what I heard. Incredibly passionate. That being said, you know how passionate they are. Arrowhead, a very passionate place that we play. Kansas City gets it fired up. Who has a better stadium experience? Arrowhead or the link? I think that Arrowhead's a little safer, right? I thought you were going to say it. I think it's a little more Midwestern. It's a little bit happier. I think I can see some fans.

55:48I can see some fans in Arrowhead and I can wear an Eagles jersey. And a fan in Arrowhead may say, good luck today. And I may say, good luck to you too. They might offer you a plate of some barbecue. In Arrowhead, they'll say, good luck today. And I'll go, fuck you. Thank you. And it's just because of the way that I was raised in Philadelphia. We just have a different energy about us. But I'll give Arrowhead that, right? It's a little safer. A little safer. I do appreciate your honesty, though, Kevin. But I will say this. Arrowhead, very loud stadium, and our tailgating. I've been to both stadiums.

56:28I have been to both. Tailgating in Kansas City is far superior. Far superior. Interesting. I'm going to lose it. Superior is a strong word. Superior. It's a very strong word. Superiority. I don't know how else I can say it. Is it just the food in Arrowhead or the ambiance? It's the food. It's the atmosphere. It's 200 acres of barbecue being burnt, smelling wonderful with everything. Oh, the fixings. Don't forget the fixings, man. I mean, you got the coleslaw. You got the beans. You got the potatoes. You got the potato salad. You got it all. What's the best part of an Eagle's tailgate? It's going to be very hard to finish a conversation with somebody using the word fixings.

57:08Okay.

57:12Don't forget the fixings. I almost, I almost hung up. I almost ended this. When he said fixings, I almost jumped off. What makes that tailgate so good? It's the fixings. The beans, the slaw, the sauce. No, okay. It's not Thanksgiving, right? We're talking about. Because you guys haven't got to that level yet of tailgate. Once you get to that level. Okay. First of all, Travis, you've never seen tailgating until you've seen it done in Philadelphia. Okay? We're talking about live DJs. We're talking about a city that not only stands in the space of chance, but togetherness. You know, the city of Brotherly Love is what we are.

57:53And on a football Sunday is where we display it. We display it. I mean, bobbleheads, big faces. We got everything. And not only do we have everything, we share with each other. Hey, you guys got beers? Y 'all need something? Y 'all need drinks? Here, come over here. We'll toss you some. You've never seen anything like it. Cheese steaks, pretzels. I mean, tasty cakes. It all happens in Philadelphia. The energy that we go into that stadium with is set in the parking lot. And not only do we tailgate, we do it in places that we're not supposed to. We block all streets. Okay? We block all streets. You know, we prohibit the highways from being used.

58:33A lot of this stuff isn't necessarily legal, but we get it done. It is what it is. It's called fanfare. That's what it's called, Rob. And I'll tell you what we're not discussing. Dixens. We're not talking about Dixens in Philadelphia. It's cheese on a cheese steak. That's it. That's all. Give me a pretzel. Oh, my God. Oh, that's good. That makes me so happy. You guys have a prison in your stadium, if I'm not mistaken. Damn right we do. Yeah. Okay. That was the old stadium. That was the vet. That was the vet. We progressed. We've moved on from that. We progressed. All right. We had it there because we needed it during those times.

59:12We needed it. And as a person that has been in that jail cell, as a person that has been in that jail cell, it is necessary. Okay. It's necessary to know the consequences to some of our crazy actions. so when I sat in that cell for three and a half hours I thought about my actions and I never did it again and they took my picture down so it's a good thing you have not made it as a fan until your picture has made it to the wall of trouble when they go you gotta watch out for this guy the wall of trouble I do respect that I respect that a lot actually I appreciate that Rob I'm not playing I believe you.

59:57I had a real security threat alert. I totally believe that on me from the year that I tried from the year that I tried to get on the podium when I was drunk and tried to get on the podium. They were like, hey, look, guys, Kevin, he's coming to the playoff games. We need a team just to watch Kevin. And they really did have a team on me. Like I was on the sideline and, you know, it took me a while to notice. I was like, hey, man, why are these security guards? It's like five of them, but it's the same faces that keep moving everywhere I go. And one of the security guys told me, he's like, oh, yeah, you got a threat alert on you, just in case.

1:00:31A threat alert? You got eyes on you. You got a threat alert. That's when I knew I made it as a fan. Rob, you've never had a threat alert. They've never worried about you and what you're going to do with your arrowhead. All they do is go, that's wriggle with that plate of beans and slaw. Right there, wriggle. they go is that wriggle they go yeah of course it's wriggle he's got all the fixings and then they even offer me a headset if i want to listen in on the game sometimes i'm like ah guys it's too much that's how friendly we are in kansas city i i i do not think that arrowhead is a bad place i will say this is something i should have said earlier i love the people of kansas city i've I'm a frequent visitor of Kansas City.

1:01:15I perform there. Tons of amazing shows and personnel. When it comes to the environment of football, it's all about noise. And I will say you guys are definitely up there with the level of noise that is presented to your opponent. But you got to come from noise. You got to come from noise to respond to that environment. And we're no strangers to it. That's the beauty of how we're trained in Philadelphia. Yeah, man. Man. And there's nothing. Fire me up, Kev. There's nothing more different than the noise of the link and the noise of Arrowhead. Like Arrowhead, you're screaming. I mean, you feel the rumble.

1:01:53You feel the rumble. The link, you hear more of what vibrates. It's a strategy. It's a strategy. Kansas City's not saying anything mean, so let's just make as much noise. Philly's like, hey, we got to keep this noise down because I got to tell this motherfucker. It vibrates. Kevin. Fuck your mother You heard me You heard me 23 We don't need to say your names We just say your numbers We're so disrespectful We don't need to say We don't say your We don't say your last name You heard me 27 Shut up 27 That used to be That used to be the funniest thing Sitting on the bench We'd be out there Having a rough series You go back to the bench These dudes always yelling behind you Hey 62 What the fuck are you doing You got to keep your head forward and acting like you don't hear it.

1:02:43You just hear all this shit happening behind you. By the way, we do research, too. Philadelphia, we do research. We know what's going on in your family. We know the problems. Yeah, that's right. That's right. You don't have a dad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. In all fairness, I think that's most cities these days. Arrowhead's not above that. I mean, we're friendly, nice people, and we like to get loud, but we're not above doing our research as well. and really burrowing down like a tick and getting in there like, hey, hey, hey, 91. Hey, I understand your nephews have a little trouble in school. I mean, it goes deep.

1:03:20It goes deep. You know? It's a little more precise. It's a little more precise. It's very detailed. It's very detailed. Somebody's grade point average just dropped. He's struggling in an Ivy League school with that GPA. Yeah, we know he had dreams of going to Brown University. He'll be lucky if he gets in Cornell. Then we all start laughing.

1:03:54That's just good old clean Kansas City heckling right there. Two different approaches. Two different approaches. One's a little more flagrant, vicious. The other one's a little more precise. I'll give you that. God damn it. Rob, that's pretty funny. Hey! Heard you know he's having a little trouble.

1:04:18It's like your son's going to repeat the 11th grade. Yeah. Have you ever been heckled? This actually happened to me one time. It wasn't at Arrowhead. I was at a Jets-Dolphins game. and I was sitting on the front row behind the Dolphins bench for some reason and Joey Porter came off and all the Jets fans around me were screaming at him going screw you Porter you suck you know in that classic New York way I was just sitting there mind my business and he looked right at me and he goes not up in here I looked right back at him I looked back at him I didn't say it I didn't say it. I swear. And he was like, no, I'm right here.

1:05:02And he was veins coming out. And finally, the guy next to me goes, dude, it's from the movie or whatever. Yeah, right. Oh, dear God. I thought you wouldn't kill me. I thought I was about to get him late. I get killed. Fans. I don't mind it. Like, I'm no stranger to the laugh. Funny is funny. So when you say shit to me, if it's funny, it's funny. And like, here's what I did stop doing though. So I would come down to the field, you know, while the players are warming up. Let's say it's an away game. Eagles are playing away. I'm in the city. I'm going to go. But I'm on the field. Where the fans would kill me is when you actually see how small I am compared to like the players when they come out and they're warming up.

1:05:46You would hear shit. Kevin, you look like his dick. Hey, hey, man. Come on. Hey. Hey, hey. Enough. Hey, man. Seriously. My son is with me. That's my son. That's my son. Get your stupid ass off the field, Kevin. Get your dumb ass off. I mean, they let me have it. I put my kids in the headphones. I got to share this with you, too. I got heckled at the Ryder Cup. And Travis, you met Kasha, my girlfriend. Oh, yeah. She's a professional golfer. But we were at the Ryder Cup, and the hush comes over the crowd. So now it's extra quiet. And I'm standing there with my girlfriend. And somebody from the back screams, she's out of your league, Regan.

1:06:31To the tremendous roar from the crowd of, yeah, fuck you, Regan. It turned into a dog pile. And it was like, it got to a fever pitch. We were like, kill him. Kill that piece of shit. I mean, I was like, hold on. What just happened?

1:06:53I mean, where does this stuff come from? I'm running my business. I'm just watching. Some of it's unprovoked. When you really do turn around, you go, why? Why did you say that, sir? I just stand in here. What the fuck was that, sir? Why did you feel that's what you should have said to me, sir? No, I think it's all fun. It's all fair within the love of the game. I do want to credit my city, man, for keeping it in the stands. You know, we're seeing a lot of crazy activity. We're seeing fans get crazy. We just saw somebody push Lamar the other day. So I just want to say real quick to the city, Philadelphia, let's keep it in the stands.

1:07:32Let's keep it vocal. Let's keep it verbal. Let's stand on business the way we normally do, but let's make sure that we still respect the athlete. Let's still respect the profession. Okay? I can protect us otherwise. I can protect the city and make sure that our shit talk stands tall, but we're keeping it in the stands. I'll say that. That's what we're doing there. I like that. I like that. I respect it. Let's get back to the game a little bit. All right, so as players, we usually don't consider these matchups the next season. We don't consider it like a Super Bowl rematch. These teams obviously just played a couple games ago.

1:08:02As players, you, me, and Trent. As fans, though, as fans, do you guys consider this a Super Bowl rematch? Well, I think, Rob, I'll answer first because I think as a player, it's good to respect both POVs, right? I have the advantage of looking through a dual lens. I can see it from both sides. Not at all. You know, you have to respect it as a Super Bowl rematch. I mean, I remember when I played in the church league and we won the conference. And the following year, we came out and game two was against a church that we played in the championship game. And that was the biggest game. Literally same scenario.

1:08:46Same scenario, right? Yeah, same thing. Same thing. I don't know if that's the same. It definitely is. It definitely is. Pastor Troy led that league with 17 touchdowns that year. And I remember it's definitely the same. Rob, Pastor Troy for sure could have won. He could have won pro. So I think it is. It is a rematch. You got to respect it as that. Well, Kevin, I haven't played in a rec league, which is, as we know, is very similar to the NFL, unlike church leagues. But I don't want to go there because I don't want to make it about me today. the question was about the team do i consider this a rematch um i will say no i will say yes there are similarities but each year you have a brand new team um and and yes there are a lot of veterans that come along and get to you know continue their journey but every it's like a it's like a fingerprint it's new every year it's uh at least that's how i do it what's up anyway but that's uh it's a new team it's a it's a new season so to me it's all born anew however do my feelings are they running hot you're god dang right they are do i want a piece of the eagles i want a big piece i want a big piece of the eagles that barbecue is going to be eagle okay american bald eagle whatever eagle okay that's what's up and we're gonna have a lot of fixings with that eagle

1:10:15it's a big game it sets it sets a tone i think i think this game definitely sends a message right i think we go in there we handle business uh you know it sets it sends a message i think you know the the the heads underneath those helmets of the kansas city chiefs will be left with a lot to think about right it's like holy shit where are we who are we and what what are we right like you know the Eagles are clearly trying to send a message guys and we clearly allowed that message to get delivered like that psyche we're playing the psyche game at that psyche game it's a big part of football as you guys know but I've seen the I've seen the Kansas City Chiefs team leaders they never panic the leaders of that team don't panic honestly whatever whatever is thrown at us I'm not sweating jack squat because I know come November December we're We're going to start fine-tuning.

1:11:09It's going to be tune in Tokyo. Don't tell me you haven't played that. Okay. Tune in Tokyo, and we are going to be going for the gold. All right? I don't sweat the early days, friend. Respectfully, Riggle, you're starting to piss me off. Respectfully. Respectfully. Respectfully, Riggle, you're starting to piss me off. That doesn't make it better. Well, you just said, first you said fixes, and then you said jack squat. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't know who you're hanging around and where you're getting this slang from, but it has to stop today. It has to stop today. Don't you ever say jack squat to me when we're trash talking.

1:11:45How do I follow that? Where do I come back at when you say jack squat? I don't know what the fuck to say to that. You're right, it is. It's old school Midwestern trash talk. It's like old English. It's fair game. It can throw people for a loop. Travis, can I ask you a football related question? Of course. You know, just football energy, player to player. I can tell this isn't real already. Well, what do you mean? You can tell it is clearly real. I just said player to player, which means I'm coming in hot. Knowing, knowing how stacked the Eagles are, knowing how talented our team is right now, I would love to know what the conversations are internally in your locker room about our team, about where we stand.

1:12:31Is there a little bit of like bitterness in the mouth of the Kansas City Chiefs because of the loss and how big of a loss that Super Bowl was? Because it wasn't just a loss. It was like, what do they call it? I see what you're doing, Kevin. I see what you're doing. Is it called an ass with him? A ball out? Yeah, a belt. Something with a belt. Just drop that, right? So when that happens, when that happens and you guys are like, wow, on that stage, on that stage with all those lights, that's the performance that we gave on the biggest night of football in front of the most people that will ever watch a game.

1:13:06We didn't show up at all. We didn't even we didn't even lace up correctly. So now knowing that knowing that that happened, how do you guys how do you guys step in that field? And what do you think about the team? The biggest thing is that it was it was a lot of self-inflicted stuff. I think I give the respect to the Eagles for the way they played that game. They were ready. They were prepared. They came out hot and they made plays. The biggest thing for me is that what can I control? I can control what we got in-house. I think we got great fucking players too. I think we have some of the best in the world.

1:13:39I think we have the best quarterback in the world. I think we have the best coach in the world. Travis, can you stop yelling at me? Can you stop yelling? I did not raise my voice. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I got a little closer to the mic. I wanted you to hear me. I wanted you to hear me. Go ahead. I'm sorry. And I think that what I can control in-house is that I can get fired up and fix my mistakes and make sure that my team and my guys are ready to play and myself is ready to play. And the biggest thing from last week is that we have to improve on what this team is this year. And I'm not thinking about last year.

1:14:13I'm thinking about who we are as a team this year and how we can improve from week one and don't put ourselves in the loss calling again. Spoken like a vet. Last question, Travis. Jason, before, if I could just ask one more. Oh, no. No, no. You can ask them all. You can ask them all. Just one. It's not a big question. It's a small question. At any point during this game on Sunday, at any point, do you think my face is going to pop up in your head? At any point in the game. I hope so, man. At any point. Goddamn, that'd be hilarious. Let's just say the Eagles are up like 21-0. At that point, do you think you can hear me going?

1:14:54Do you think you'll be able to hear me? This is what we call bulletin board material. I love it. I love it. And you know I love you as a person more than anything. I am so fired up for this right now. and you kind of got me a little sweating right now because I really did get my ass kicked in the Super Bowl. So I'm a little hot. But we got the AC pumping. Can't peak too soon. It's only, what, Tuesday? So we're going to have some fun. And I hope I hear that laugh at the end of the game when we're on the winning side. But God damn it, I'm probably going to hear it if we're down. No matter what. You son of a bitch!

1:15:39All right, we got to do this real quick. Real, real quick. We appreciate you guys' time. We got one more final question for you. Fill in the blank. Big Rick, we'll go with you first. The Chiefs will win because blank. The Chiefs will win because we are awesome and we don't want to be 1-1. Or excuse me, we don't want to be 0-2. I mean, what was that? What was that? Jesus Christ. What was that? Take it easy. It was a slip of the tongue, man. It was just a slip of the tongue. I got all gassed up. These are fast and furious. These are popcorn questions, man. Where's the edit button when you need it?

1:16:13Jesus Christ, man. Okay, fine. I panicked. Fuck. We got to keep our composure. The Chiefs will win because we keep our composure. All right, Kevin, the Eagles will win because? Because winning is an attitude. Because winning is a feeling. Because winning is our now. Because winning is not an option. Because winning is our world. It's our destiny. our livelihood. The Eagles will win because that's what we're supposed to do. Fly Eagles, fly. E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles. You hear me? E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles. And we're going to fly down. We're going to see those Chiefs and we're going to take our claws. We're going to take our claws and we're going to grab them.

1:17:07We're going to grab those Chiefs and we're going to pick them We're going to pep their eyes out. We're going to close. That red is going to be blood. It's going to be blood on Sunday. Kevin, they have to ask you a question first. They haven't asked you anything yet. I already had the speech program, Rob. It's coming out no matter what. What a time, guys. What a time. Well, listen, I don't think that that could have gone any better than we would have ever imagined. Both of you guys killed it. That takes care of our Eagles Chiefs preview. I hope all of you enjoy that. But before we cut these guys out of here, we do want to ask Rob, do you want to tell the 92 %ers what you got coming up?

1:17:51I got a book coming out. Hey! Let's go. Let's go. Yeah, it's coming out on Veterans Day, November 11th. I hope you get a chance to read it. It's a good book. Send me a copy, Rob. Send me a signed copy. You know I got one coming to you, Kevin. I love you. Please send me a signed copy. Congratulations. Absolutely. Rit, spit, and never quit. A Marine's Guide to Comedy and Life. Yeah. Strong. Sounds like a beautiful combination of life, man. It's crazy. I got to point out, there's an eagle on the book. Rob, that's a woman right there. I mean, he's an American man right there. No. If you want to win, if you want to win, win your dad.

1:18:32That's not what's really going on. I think you're crossing the streams. Look, it's a great book. I hope people take the time to read it. And by the way, you know, I'm still going with the Chiefs, but thank you. Yes. Good for you, Rob. I love it, man. Thanks, brother. Well, excited to check out the book. Rob, you're the man. Kevin, you're the man as well. Thank you so much to both of you guys for joining. That was a freaking blast. God damn. That was fucking hilarious, man. Hey, thank you, guys. Am I, Brandon, am I done? Yeah, Rob, we're going to get rid of you just so we can kind of redo that whole thing.

1:19:02Okay. We're going to redo it. Just do it. Yeah, no, no, no. We're just going to – You're not going to use any of it? You're not going to use any of it? Jump off Rob, and we're going to do something cool. You'll see it. I feel like there's a lot of good stuff in there. No way we're getting rid of the fixings, man. All right, now that those Chiefs fans are out here, it's time to get to some – Thank God. That's right. That's right. All right, Kevin, let's get a quick DraftKings same-game parlay. What do you say? All right, pick two players to score a touchdown in this one. Who are we taking? Well, of course, I'm going Jalen Hurts.

1:19:37I'm going to take on my Barkley. There we go. Easy, easy. Okay. Who, who's going to win the game? Eagles. Eagles. Okay. All right. Pick a player you think is going to hit over their yards, passing, receiving, rushing, anything goes. You know what? A.B. didn't have a strong first game. And I think, I think, I think in this week's work, everybody was putting on notice that he has to get the ball. I think A.B. is going to show out this game. You know what, Kip? We don't even have to worry if one of those legs doesn't hit because with DraftKings ghost leg promo, they'll just make it disappear. It's the beauty of DraftKings.

1:20:13What an amazing partner. What an amazing partner. They are. What do you think about this game? Seriously. Well, you know, look, let's end it with a bang, man. Let's end it with a bang. Okay. Now that we got rid of the bad guys, and I do mean Kansas City Chiefs, guys, it's fly. Eagles fly all day, every day. The road to greatness starts again now. Getting back to the Super Bowl. This is a very big game. I think this is a game that really, really will set the tone for the rest of the season. It's a confidence builder and booster for everyone on that Eagles team, man. So let's go and let's get it done.

1:20:44And after getting it done, the road to the Super Bowl, nothing else is acceptable. Let's go. That's it. Thank you, Kevin. And thank you to our partner at DraftKings.
