Lambeau Tour, Dan Campbell's Glasses & Miles Teller on Eternity, Kobe DMs, & Birds Fans | EP 164

24:30Fourth and six. And they're on the 36, 35-ish 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 or are they going to punt? Even when they put the offense out there, and I thought punt because I'm like, you don't want to give too good a field position here 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 and 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 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.

25:14And then they snap the ball. And I'm like, oh, shit, they're actually running a play. Yeah. 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 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 just trying to kick this thing up there and get a little bit of field position.

25:50Fourth and six, not a high percentage throw. They must have felt really good about it to make that call. But outside of that, thankfully the defense showed up and got a stop when they needed it. 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, even re-watching it, Green Bay's linebackers and 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.

26:37They 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. It really was. That's what it kind of reminded me of, watching that thing, because it felt like you're in historic Lambeau on the biggest night in football Monday night, and it's like you're just sitting there watching two legendary organizations go at it for the 100th time. And it's just – it felt like that old-school style of football. Cold, weather game. Guys are – plays are being made on the defensive side for the majority of the game. Finally, the offense gets going 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.

27:20Everybody's going for it on fourth down. The Eagles had one where they're literally calling out the fourth down call on defense. Yeah, they're calling the play out before they stuff it. And you're just sitting there. You're like, man, this is old school football. And that Eagles defense had some help from their new star, Jalen Phillips, man. Forced fumble, fumble recovery, eight pressures, seven hurries, and six stops altogether. 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, I mean, I know, an aggressive statement, but for the Eagles, this might be the greatest thing that's happened this season so far is getting Jalen Phillips.

27:56What 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. 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 won 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.

28:37And that'll be a little Sunday night football action, playing back-to-back night games prime time, baby, with a new play caller over there in Detroit. Dan Campbell. Dan Campbell. Dude, the readers. I love that sideline pick. It's so good, man. The 4 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 blown out. These aren't even going to be closed. Every single one of them. And you knew it coming into it. It was like all of these are going to be fucking just. None of them. The Rams. The Rams 49ers was the one where it's like the 49ers defense has been good.

29:16All right, let's talk some other stuff that's going on around the league. Giants fired coach Brian Dayball. Yep, Dayball is gone, making former Eagles quarterback and Chiefs coach and Jason Kelsey's friend, Mike Kafka, the interim head coach. Coach Kafka. Coach Kafka was Mike Kafka, quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles when I first got into the NFL. And he was my QB coach. When I first got into the NFL. 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 Dable got there.

29:59Now the interim head coach. Can't wait to see what Cavs 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 show flashes. It felt like four weeks ago, it felt like things were starting to turn a corner when they started getting Jackson Dart out there, Cam Scadaboo. It felt like, okay, this team's starting to have some confidence and find themselves. But, yeah, the graphics are all out there. They blow in a number of big double-digit leads that good teams just don't do and really disciplined teams don't do.

30:36And, 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 manager is abstaining from responsibility over this whole thing to date. Wink Martindale, the defensive 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 the common denominator is like, hey, we've had players apparently that are good in this building that haven't played at a high level.

31:11So ultimately, there's going to be change coming whenever that happens for sure. Yeah, and it's a tough situation for our guy Kafka to come into, but he is one of the best football knowledge and offensive gurus, man. 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. No better stamp of approval than 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. Are you serious? He was 47 for 78 in the air.

32:02Oh, my gosh. The man threw fucking. 78? Yeah. Did he throw his arm out? How do you throw a ball 78 times? Good luck to Kafka and the New York football giants, man. Yeah, good luck to Kafka. I will not say good luck, Giants. All right. Keeping it on coach is Mike McDaniels. A 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? 1 ,000%. Is he trolling or is this just on the way to his house?

32:42What do you think? It might just be on the way to the house. I can see Coach McDaniels living down in Miami Beach. He's definitely trolling. He's slow turning it, got the arm out the window, staring right into the bar. Staring right into the bar. I mean, listen, this is a big one for Coach McDaniel. Yeah, it seemed like there's some people in the hot seat over there right now. 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. Let's go.

33:22Week 11 is actually kind of stacked, if I'm being honest. I'm very excited about this weekend. 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 Bucs at Bills. Both teams coming off a loss. This is a big one. Jake, first pick. Got to 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 Bucs are getting five and a half points. So I'm going to take the Bucs plus the points in terms of the game spread.

34:00Nice. always like when we take the bucks 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 gonna go with a james cook anytime touchdown i feel like james cook is the engine that drives that uh bill's offense and i think they're gonna get him going i think that is the key to the game is to get james cook going i think they're gonna feed him all right both coming off hard losses i got a back friend of the show baker mayfield i'm taking baker mayfield over two touchdown passes so i always like taking baker on any of this stuff so yeah love it bucky irving's been kind of like shaking up a little bit hurt too so i think they're gonna have to throw the ball they're gonna be passing the rock so i'm taking baker over two touchdowns shout out friend of the show baker mayfield are they getting any help from the injured uh players coming back the bucks do you know we've been looking right now it doesn't look like bucky irving's be available i think some of the wide receivers are questionable, but I think regardless, they're going to be airing that thing out.

34:55Mike Evans has been, you know, he's obviously dealing with the injury, but Baker told us about a Mecca Ibuka in the summer and he's absolutely killing it. So I'm ready to ride with the Bucs. Yes, he is. He is killing it. He's a good player. Baker was right on the money with that one. You can check out all the odds for week 11 and more over on DraftKings Sportsbook.

36:03Limited time offer. Let's keep it moving to Stamp of the Week. Trav, take it away. All right now, moving on to Stamp of the Week. I mean... Who are you going 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. All right. I like it. I like it. Somehow still looks incredibly intimidating with glasses. I'm not fucking around with that. Look at those. It's the traps coming out of the t-shirt that tells me I don't need to bark up that tree. It's the red skin that just tells you that his blood is just pulsing to areas. He's waiting.

36:40He's just waiting to explode with rage. Thick six. Let's take a look at this thick six, Brandon. I've seen this thick six. Is it good? It's good shit. It's good shit. Anytime you see a fat boy running with the ball, it's good shit. All right, let's see. Kind of think they could have blew it dead, but. Oh, big boy. Oh, yeah. No, that forward progression has not stopped. They can't bring him down. They can't bring him down. Are you kidding me? Oh, my God.

37:15Oh, he landed hard. He hit the ground hard. 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 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 just take a look at this. Just styling on him. Oh, no. Oh, man.

37:49Like, look at him. That's pretty funny. It's really petty and, like, super unsportsmanlike, but it's funny as shit. The boys on the two-game win streak, bro. Fuck it. There is something different about, like, making a play as a, like, you make a play, you get to dance. but getting somebody else the fuck up and then dancing on him feels a bit aggressive. It feels like taunting to me, but I love it though. I'm kind of, I mean, as we've said, we are in favor of taunting as a podcast. I'm fucking. 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.

38:27Yeah. 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 if it's going to get better than that. Yeah, I don't know if it gets better than that either. I'm always down to give a friend of the show some love, man. Matty Stafford went out there, went fucking nuts, has the most starts by QB before reaching. It's a weird stat. It's actually kind of a bun stat. It's really weird. It's kind of a bun stat. It's very weird. It's the most starts to get to 500. Oh, I get it. Of quarterbacks with that many starts, above a certain amount, they are almost all over 500.

39:04He just got over 500 as a career. Well, as one Buns stats and Buns records holder to another. 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 and one overall record. So it just tells you how bad they were in Detroit. Like they had some bad teams in Detroit. Fucking guys, Superbowl 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 a miles teller.

42:10Our guest today is 6 '1 actor from Downingtown, Pennsylvania. You might know him from 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 eternity 92 percenters please welcome miles teller let's go dude dude snl fucking rocked it one of my dude absolutely fucking 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 yeah appreciate it i was looking forward to that uh that intro that's uh that's like you know because we don't for as actors we don't really get much uh you know snl you mentioned if i'm doing a talk show uh but you know i'm so jealous of musicians and athletes because you guys just get that live energy and you feed off But after that speech, I'm ready to run through a frigging brick wall.

43:22When you got the great credentials, like dancing at Grateful Dead concerts, Jason just fucking hits those things, man. You just fucking get your chills going, baby. Have you always been a deadhead? For me, I guess 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 Vaughn guys. You know, Bob Seger, 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 the Vibes in Connecticut. And once I was around, well, I refer to now as like my people.

43:55I just didn't know it at the time. But once I got around that tie dye and just 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 tie dye like probably way too much for a 36 year old adult. I'm with you, dude. Those shirts are clean, though. I know you like my shirts, Trav, when I'm wearing them down in a river at in the summer and stuff. I have some nice vintage shoes. Some nice vintage shoes. Dude, you already know. Take me back, man. Take me back. I'm vintage with you, dog. Yeah. That shit's classic. Well, let's talk about Eternity of the Wolf.

44:29Actually, first, 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 and, 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. And it's like, dude, it still is like a visceral thing. So I'm right there with you on the intros, man. That is one of the things I miss greatly. Dude, I bet 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 a UFC fight.

45:05I mean, he's like, yes, like knocked out. I mean, you can see it in his eyes. He's very still in that world. The best. Oh, my God. Eternity. I never know how to sum this up. Okay. Larry, your character, Larry, is married to a woman named Joan. And the whole movie essentially takes place in the afterlife. And you have to choose your eternity. That's the name of the film. And I don't know what I'm allowed to give away, what I'm not allowed to give away. Do you want to? I'm going to try not to give nothing away. Also, it's not, you know, it's not a Marvel film. It's not, it's not a, you know, top good.

45:51I don't think I'm going to have a red dot on me. If this thing goes a little sideways. Sure. Yes. So this, so it, yeah, the movie is called Eternity. My character and 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. Yeah, Studio 54, 1930s Germany without Nazis. Nudist world. Nudist world where it's always like the perfect temp for you.

46:33Yeah, you get to choose your eternity, but you only choose once. and you can choose to be with whoever you want. And so I'm kind of, you know, ready to choose my eternity with my wife. And then it 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. Dude, it was fantastic. Yeah, man, the trying to win over Joan and the entire, who's going to be able to spend the rest of their life with them is just fantastic.

47:12It's funny. It is incredibly emotional. Like, as somebody who's married. It's a roller coaster of emotion, man. It's so fun, man. You guys get really deep. How much fun you guys are having in the comedy aspect with the ACs, the afterlife coordinators. Dude, that shit is fucking. You guys hit it on the head, man. I absolutely love this film, man. Thank you. And also, I think it's like, you know, when I was a kid, because this movie is coming out, you know, 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.

47:44And 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 a movie that's not just there to take the piss. You know, I mean, I think it makes you really think about your own life. And oh, 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 love it. I'm glad you guys dug it.

48:20Dude, you pick great films. Better than like anybody I know, man. I like in 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 long relationship versus one that you had that. And 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, maybe the beautiful thing in life is that things end. And I just think it's a great line.

48:58And 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 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 yeah that's that's a that's a tough just like for the yeah for eternity that's tough i don't know yeah god damn yeah it's funny i was talking with because kelly she's very uh 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 when your soul goes on and really we're on life in this physical form to kind of learn lessons.

49:47But, uh, 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 point? Like, what if you just want to stop having consciousness? You know what I mean? Like, maybe I'll just turn it off, but I think it's, um, 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, you know, family members that I never met or family members I did get to know passed away and some buddies of mine that passed away way too young.

50:21And hopefully all my dogs, um, actual dogs, animals, um, 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 um of uh life and you know those relationships that i i do think life the most important aspect of it is really nature uh relationships and those relationships that you kind of nurture and um 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 it's kind of funny you mentioned uh 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 sweet and how crazy their past has been and how it can even like meet up in the afterlife.

51:38It was crazy. The creativity of what afterlife is was fantastic. And it was a new look. And it's something that 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. Yes, sir. I mean, kudos. And I've asked you this before. Maybe we can ask this on Pile. How do you pick films as a blockbuster actor? What is your process? How do you, because I'd imagine the inbox is like, I mean, it's got to be bigger than my email of just like scripts and people that are reaching out.

52:18Like, how do you, how do you sort through that onslaught of opportunities and really get to the ones that ring true to you? You know, it always starts with the script, although I will say if you work, if you are lucky enough to always work with a great director, then that's going to give you a pretty good shot. I 100 percent 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 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 of 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.

53:12I, 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 decision is 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 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 just think I actually, I think I do have a wide range of interests. 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 i don't know 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 you've been doing this shit for a while man but it's so fun to see you keep taking these new challenges and uh this a24 film is out uh eternity comes out november 26th uh make sure you check it out you're uh you're gonna fucking love it i guarantee it um but why don't we talk a little bit of your football love let's talk a little birds let's go now's the time we need to know miles thoughts on the 2025 birds what do you think you know it's hard to argue with the with the record at this point um lost a lot of guys you know on defense that line um you know it 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 um i think i think jaylen that kind of just you know cool hand luke um 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 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 I'm a motion, dude, but it's – I mean, Eagles have been – I mean, I think even under Andy Reid, he averaged like 10 wins a season in all those McNabb years.

55:26Like 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. Absolutely. Oh, yeah. Almost year in and year out, and that's very rare. I mean, Trav, what you're giving to those, what 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 are that standard now. So it's just awesome to watch. I appreciate all the effort I know.

56:02Can I imagine how much goes into it? Fans will never really know. So I'm just happy to be a part of the ride. And to be honest, man, that's the one thing you see from the rest of the league is that from the top down, they are ran like a top-tier organization. When you go there 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 well-oiled machine. The family rooms, how they treat the players, how the players get embedded into that, ingrained into that city. from the top down, man, without a doubt, man, Philly's organization's top tier.

56:40And 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.

57:17And I just saw a stat. I think Nick has more wins than the last decades, decade of Giants football. I think that and you think about the turnover that New York has had they just fire Brian Dayball 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. until you win that first one, right? It's like, oh, Philly, you know, they're never going to 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.

57:54You know, we're not even focused on you, dude. Dude, I got to ask. So I know we're talking birds right now. knowing you you're a huge Phillies fan you follow every fucking game you watch every birds game are you you gotta be a Philly through and through do you watch the broad street bullies every every game 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 the Legion of Doom with LeClaire, Reckie, Lindros, uh joel auto gar snow ron hextall like those were some bad those are some badass teams um oh yeah and i still 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 um you know especially yeah yeah oh she when we're playing those baseball games i'm gonna be so mad if i can't be yelling four bombs this year four bomb freaking do a laugh do a laugh oh gosh um so funny dude for those of you that that don't know the context man every year we play uh 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 fucking all-stars of that goddamn Back room, dude.

59:21It's like the conscience goes unconscious, man. I feel like I'm, like, kind of coaching, too. I'm, like, setting the line up. I'm, like, setting the defense. He's managing the whole thing. I'm, like, yo, watch this sneaky little dude. He's got something going on right now. It's so fun. It's fun. Look at this guy. He's got a point out. Yeah, baby. Yeah. Ocean's table, MVP. Shout out to Ocean. Ocean. 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 I just fell off.

1:00:02Oh, man. Fucking electric. Where are we at here, man? Trav, do you like playing on like Thanksgiving? Is that as a football dude? 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 screwing around. I 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 fucking peanut butter and jelly, man. So I'm excited to play. We're in Dallas, so I'll hold it down for try and hold it down for the birds fans out there.

1:00:39You will. You will get after and get after the Cowboys, man. But yeah, dude, I'm excited. I'm excited to do it. and hopefully I'm eating turkey on the field afterwards. Because what? So they – but what, you guys played on Christmas? Was that the game? I played on Christmas last year, yeah. Yeah. Yep. That was a fun one too, I'm not going to lie. 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 it'll be a fun one. I enjoy all the holiday games. I know it kind of takes you away from the family, But at the same time, man, you get something for the family and friends to watch.

1:01:18And, you know, you're always getting texts when everybody's around the family. Sometimes I'll get the picture of what the living room looks like sitting around watching, you know, the Chiefs play. So it's just it's awesome, man. I love every bit of it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's evident just watching you play, too. I appreciate that. Both you guys, you could just see the pure, just the pure joy. I would have loved to have seen some of them backyard football games with you boys all. Oh, my gosh. It was a lot of moxie. A lot of moxie. I would always make Travis be the ball carrier just so I could try and obliterate him.

1:01:55We 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. I wasn't big enough to take him down. So I was like, all right, I just got to be the crash dummy here. And Jason fucking let out some of this anger since he was a 10-year-old with anger management problem. 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 positive is going to be on my side 100 of course 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 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 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 at like i've hovered um at like the end of eight i've never even finished just around yeah uh i don't even think vegas would put that bet on the board Dude, have it as – I would bring that bar down just a little.

1:03:14I would say, like, even if you just finish – if you finish a round in the positive, that's a damn good round. You're probably shooting, like, 84 tournament golf. Trav, are you open to redoing this bet in just one round in the positive? Honestly, I still feel confident about that, dude. Dude, OSHA's table. OSHA's table. Oh, hey. What's up, girlie? Where'd you come from? You say that? Oh, there we go. Nice. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. You're a good time. Nice. Thank you, sweetie. Jay, is it a lot, I guess, since being retired, and obviously I know you're still very, very busy, very active, but kind of getting to 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.

1:04:05It's awesome. Yeah, and I think you just mentioned Thanksgiving. we're already gearing up with plans for that. And 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, when you're not. 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.

1:04:41Yeah, 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 going to lie. Like, I miss being around those guys. But being able to be around the kids, be around college boys. Sure, yeah. And I think he was getting to that because you're not playing a lot of golf, Jason. You're not getting better at that game. Dude, I played golf once a week this year, basically. I'm getting better. That's a week? That's a lot, right? No chance. No way. I got to go more? Yeah, you got to. I'm investing in a simulator. To be in the positives. I just got to get away from my negative shots.

1:05:17I know those doubles can just gang up on you. Dude, they can stack. They can stack. Especially after a long night in the back of the casino. That's right. He left all his good shots to win the MVP. of the Oshis games, dude. 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 hanging out. We're all hammering long drinks. Yeah, baby. Appreciate that. We're hammering some of them, the skinny finnies. Yeah. 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.

1:05:59I just went to bed two hours ago. That's the best, dude. I fucking love Ty no for that though, man. We got a last segment right here. We're going to get to it. We got to ask. 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? Yeah, all good, dude. Do Philly sports fans deserve the reputation we get? Yes and no. There's a misconception there, but 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 maybe a mental error or something.

1:06:38We're passionate, but they also, that's their life. You meet a random chick at the bar, she can tell you five relief pitchers. It's just a part of the culture. It's just what it is. So yes and no, but who gives a shit? Yes and no, and also who gives a shit? do you do you know anybody that has ever spent time at the jail at the vet uh yes

1:07:06just a quick quick answer i love it yeah you're in the new michael jackson biopic 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 I mean you got the moves that's why because you got the moves dude they were like dude if somebody could moonwalk on this bitch like Michael I could see it

1:07:40I tell you what his nephew who's playing 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 we ever even rolled camera. And this kid is going to light that screen on fire. It's Michael Jackson's greatest, you know, greatest performers of all time. And to even be able to get close to mimicking him is really, it's almost impossible, but I think Jafar does it. Awesome. Awesome. You and Travis both starred in sequels to iconic movies.

1:08:22Starred? Yeah, that's right. Travis, just take it. All right. Is there more pressure working with Tom Cruise or Adam Sandler? What do you think? Like starred? Stop it. Absolutely, brother. Almost the same amount of time in between H-Sequel 2. The same thing is great. man is the greatest oh man but tom with tom is awesome too man i had the pleasure of meeting him uh on taze tour man and he he's fucking 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 lock the fuck 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 movie the first movie 30 years ago is working on it now like Like it was it was I would assume that that Adam Sandler does it a little bit different.

1:09:16But how was it with Tom? Yeah, man, I tell you what, like 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. 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 gentleman roots and that he learned from from his mom. And so he knows everybody's name. He treats everybody with respect and kindness.

1:09:53But also like what you're saying is that especially 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 shit 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 honest 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 his ability What are the chances we see Rooster again sometime?

1:10:35I hope very high. I hope very high. 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 and juicing me up. It was like, let's go. I love it. Was it easier hosting SNL the first time or the second time around? Oh, 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.

1:11:22You got to experience it for yourself. And I thought when I hosted it the first time, I kept waiting for Lauren to bring me aside and be like, Hey kid, like you got to pick this up. Cause I never felt prepared. And then at all, 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 line or something. And, um, the first time I was, I, I was freaking out. Yeah. I was, yeah, you already know I was on ice. That's just the best. I actually, uh, I was lucky.

1:11:54I had, uh, Peyton Manning gave me, shot me a text and was like, listen, 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. Cause there's nothing you could tell somebody that will get them ready for that. And, and I'd see, uh, the second time around you're talking about, you were talking to the writers and everything.

1:12:23You have the credentials to do that. I don't have any fucking, I would still go in there and not say anything. I made one comment to change the script just a little bit. I was like, what if I said this? They were like, yeah, that would, that would probably work too. And I was just like, all right, noted. Don't ever bring that up again. Perfect. And she was hilarious. But with that being said, They are like the absolute best at what they do. Cause I remember this last time, this last time me and Marcelo had this sketch at the end. We play like Italian waiters and I'm about to go on in like a minute.

1:13:01And 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. And 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'm comfortable in it. But the first time I just felt like I'm going to be that first host that looks like a deer in headlights in front of, you know, however many millions of people, dude.

1:13:29Kobe 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, 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 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 uh it went from like exchanging you know twitter messages to him giving me my phone number and uh i mean i used to send him a screenshot to me playing 2k being like

1:14:26messed around got a triple double today dude and he goes that's a good day kobe was the freaking man oh that's great we always ask everybody that comes on the show what their welcome to 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 bad. It's just like a shock of like, oh, shit, I'm doing this. The first movie I did, and I remember, so it was when Nicole Kimmon and Aaron Eckhart, and I had just seen The Dark Knight very recently, So him as two face was very fresh in my mind.

1:15:12And 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 books, scare the shit out of this kid. And, uh, so, so, so Aaron, like an, an Eckhart man, like he can, he can deliver rage in a way that really kind of he's just it's you feel it and uh 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 you know every day 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 erin echo feeling like i was like in a dream just on a set with these actors and then i heard the director y 'all cut and i was like oh fuck 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 fucking lock in right now so it was great but initially it was kind of it was i was like what the fuck is going on that is an awesome welcome to the hollywood moment fuck 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 you want to just go back to your life and this guy's insane trav when you got like coming off like when you are coming off a bye are you doing any kind of like study on your own or does that shit 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 yeah just shut it down just shut it down relax i'll watch the games on sunday or like the thursday sunday 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 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 aspect that i'll just get all that information when i come back into the building do these seasons with you guys feel like repetitive even though you feel like oh 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.

1:17:52And I'm just curious if anything feels unique this year. It's all kind of appreciate it. It's crazy. Cause 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. Yeah. One score, close ones. Yeah. 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 damn near undefeated. You know what I mean? Like when you really look at the grand scheme of things, like there's huge plays at the end of games that if it goes the other way, like we're in a completely different situation.

1:18:33So I think this year offense being able to put up 30 balls every game and our defense always seems to figure it out with Spags and the guys over there. So I'm kind of looking at this season like our team, I think, is rolling a little bit more. or we just got to be able to finish these games off like we were last year? Jay, NFC, I mean, I imagine you're watching more games because with the analyst work, I mean, obviously we know how good the freaking Rams are. We saw it in the playoffs, and we saw it this year with that blocked field goal away from them women. But I feel like it's them and, I mean, is Seattle as good as their fucking record?

1:19:13Dude, 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 high on them, but I still got to see them do it in crucial situations against really good teams, especially down the stretch. Sam Darnold 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 them. But there is something that I really like about Seattle. I do think the Rams, at the end of the day, are the strongest in the NFC West. I think we're right up there, man.

1:19:45I really do. 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. 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. They got Dan Campbell calling plays now, though, baby. Let's go. Dude, with the glasses on. Just this big, you freaking do with the readers on. I'm like, God damn, that's a freaking look. Why does the AFC East not fucking travel well to Miami, even when it's not fucking like balls hot because even brady i think only had like a 500 record or something in miami like what the what what is it it's the divisional games dude anybody can sneak up on you man even no matter what their record it's like these teams just know you so well and they they get fired up because there's divisional opponents and you get to see them twice and it's crazy it's crazy how these things work in the division man but you're having you're having fun, Trav?

1:20:38Man, flying high, baby. Yeah. Flying high, man. Good, good, good. Just gotta keep winning football games. Yep. Yep. Fuck yeah. Get this Super Bowl rematch like we all want, right? Heading there, Miles was in the suite two Super Bowls ago. Yeah, I mean, that Super Bowl two ago, I'm fucking baking, just giving me the business. That video is... When people saw that video, they're like, yo, what the fuck did Miles do to that kid? I was just kidding, like, dude. prison punch for like 40 fucking punches making this fucking out of control man fucking love that dude fucking a dude you gotta protect them ribs baby and put them ribs in the chin that's some good shit right there baby oh yeah all right boys i appreciate you guys so much um you guys are crushing it on this show it's fucking awesome see everybody go check out eternity coming out november 26 as well as the Michael Jackson biopic coming up soon, man.

1:23:03Don't read the comments. Just don't read the comments. I know. I know. You would have thought I would have learned at this point. You would have learned your lesson after Canada got in your ass, but like, here we are again. I'm fine with Canada getting in my ass. No, you weren't because you fucked over Jake. I just had to clear it. Apparently, sarcasm is dead. Oh, Canada. Nice. Our home and native land. Nice. True maple syrup. And poutine for our face. We say hi. We hold doors. We spend our time. Play baseball so well. Maybe. All right, I'm over it. I should fix it. I think they're happy as hell now.

1:23:56Good job. They'll be real happy about that. Yeah, you crushed it. Jim Carrey. John Kane. I think they got an Ackroyd in there. There we go. There are some great comedians from fucking Canada. You would have thought they'd have a better sense of humor around this whole thing. It's tough.

1:24:17So good. Jake, when you edit that, can you not fuck it up this time? Please don't make me look like a xenophobic asshole again. It's sarcasm, Canada! They're not fucking around up there. They're not fucking around up there. I mean, they are kind of fucking around. They fuck around a lot. We got to go up to Canada. You don't got to tell me twice. It seems like a very fun place. I like cold. Toronto's one of my favorite cities. I fucking love it up there. Any place where people live in the cold, I'm usually a big fan of.
