He steered the world through moments of terrifying geopolitical crisis.

But was he quite the shining hero he seemed? A complex personal life, and of course the source of countless conspiracy theories. There's so much to cover, right? What are you most looking forward to talking about? I'm really looking forward to the Cuban Missile Crisis because it's just one of the most dramatic things that's ever happened in history. I don't know, there's something about Kennedy

and as I'm growing up, thinking of him as an all-American hero, the good looks, I want to scratch the surface and see what's really underneath. I'm a slightly different generation. I never really understood what the big deal was. I just knew that there was a big deal. Well, I'm a different generation. I knew never really understood what the big deal was.

And we're gonna be joined by a very special guest who's definitely going to destroy me for my take on getting rid of kickers. Absolutely ridiculous. But yeah, it's the one and only, the Yinser himself.

Ha! McAfee. Ha ha, we got him. We've been waiting for this one for a long time. Love Pat, man. I mean, probably most legendary media person out there right now. Dude, so good.

Just ridiculously talented. I cannot wait to talk to him about this last one, this one in Eugene, Oregon over this past weekend He got everybody to start cheering singing along to shout and oh my fucking gosh. Was it amazing? I literally started singing along as I was watching the video got goosebumps was like man that had to be fucking rocking Make shit fun, man. It's so cool watching no matter what he does. You're having fun exactly before I get crushed by You're still on it on game day. He makes shit fun, man. It's so fucking cool watching him. No matter what he does, you're having fun. Exactly. Before I get crushed by probably the most legendary kicker to play the game at this point,

let's get a little bit of that new news. New news. All righty. Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity premiere? That's right. Travis's brand new show, Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity, debuts today, October 16th on Prime Video. Oh shit, it's today?

It's today. Fuck. Well, tomorrow, but today. I'm terrified. I'm terrified of what people are going to say. I had so much fucking fun doing Are You Smarter? Yeah, you were telling me about this. There's a lot of good-

So much fun, man. So the thing I didn't, I thought, so the celebrities aren't the contestants, right? No. Right? But they do play along in the game. Because essentially, the contestants on the show, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Nicole Byer, Chad, Ojo Cinco,

Yep. Natasha Leggero. Leggero, thank you for saying that. Nikki Glaser. You already know, Gossel Bovay. There's a whole bunch of people. But they weren't, they're not the contestants. They're the ones that are assisting the contestants

with the answers, right? Like it's the old, are you smarter than a fifth grader? Where they're the one to be answering the questions. Yeah, they're not the contestants. They're the ones that are assisting the contestants with the answers, right? Like it's the old, are you smarter than a fifth grader? Where they're the one answering the questions. And the contestants have to decide whether they're going with that answer, whether they're doing their own answer. In some, there are a few twists to this game. And I do a great job of describing it in the episodes. So you just gotta, yeah, you turn that thing on.

You'll get caught up to all the rules and regulations that we got going on with the celebrities and how the celebrities can help you out. Amazon did actually send us a couple clips from the show. Oh yeah. There's one where you learn what a BBL is. Oh yeah. I don't know if I know what a BBL is. The old Brazilian butt lift.

Ah! BBL. Oh yeah. So let's check out this clip. My man, Fitzy. If I lose my glutes, I'll just go get one of those. You know you're playing for $100,000. Ooh, Kelsey, I do, I do!

Yes! If you win that money, what are you gonna do with it? You really wanna know, Kelsey? Of course I do. Who doesn't wanna know? Hey, hey! Hey! Hi. I'm gonna tell you't want to know? Hey. Hey. Hi. I'm going to give you a BBL, Kelsey.

OK. OK. I'm trying to drag a wag. What? So if any of you guys know, you can tell me. I didn't hear her say that one. Can you tell the audience what a BBL is? You know what a BBL is?

A bigger butt. Oh, a bigger butt. What's the L? What? It's a Brazilian butt lift. Oh, the BBL. I did not know that's what that was called. Thank you. You're welcome. Well, she gets me. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, there you go. The old Brazilian butt lift. I know where to go if I lose my glutes. Coach Reed starts seeing seeing these glutes getting a little saggy. I'll just go get a BBL and lift these things up. Hey, thank you. All you got to do is do some RDLs.

Just get a little bit of some squats in. Get them glutes. You see all the girls are doing it on the. He said I'm trying to drag a wagon. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not going to lie. I'm not a fan of the BBLs. Not a fan of the BBLs.

Listen, man. It looks okay. It looks okay for like a couple of years maybe, but then that thing starts sagging. It looks like you got a diaper on the backside of you. It's not a good look. It doesn't happen to like that all the time. Yes, it does, bro. I'm not a fan of the BBL.

I'm out on the BBLs. I'm trying to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Just do some glute bridges. I don't think it works. You can build the wagon naturally. You don't need the synthetics unless you got Kelsey jeans. But then you got a big fucking like stiff ass back there. Yeah.

You got a big hard ass. But when you're not clenching it, it's still got some juice. I don't know. I'm not a fan of them. Me neither. It just doesn't have the right shape. It just looks bad. When your hamstrings don't match, when the hamstrings don't match your ass, it doesn't look good. I'm just being like, it's not a, you can't just add to the ass.

And then you got, you got weak ass hammies. That ain't right. Small calves, small hamstring in a wagon. We can't do this. You got bad circulation hammies. That ain't right. Small calves, small hamstring, and a wagon. We can't do this. You got bad circulation where all your fat deposits are just accumulating in your ass. This seems like this is an unhealthy thing. All right, well, there you go, kids.

Outside of learning what a BBL was, it was a fun show. And I never in a million years thought I was ever going to ever be an actual host of a game show I always thought it was gonna be fun to like maybe go on one of the game shows Yeah, and then somebody asked me. Do you want to host it? I was like, I mean, I guess I used to like Mimic all the game show hosts as a kid like just fucking around and I love I love the game shows for sure We used to watch the game show network all the time. Family Feud, Steve Harvey, we used to hit all that stuff.

All the, we were a game show network. I still do the game shows. I still like game shows. Well, then you might like this one, Jason. I actually, I was asked how well my family would do on the show and I was like, man, you know what? I think you and Big Ed would be pretty solid. Dad would be good.

Dad knows a lot of useless knowledge. He's been spending a lot of time in front of the computer, not really going anywhere with them knees. He remembers stories very well. I'll blank on it and I'll confuse it with something else in a heartbeat. If you let Big Ed be a celebrity and eat buffalo wings while he's playing, he might not miss a question. He might get every single one of them. If you give Ed... He's got to deal with him chewing the wings.

A Hanes white tee. It's sweating. Some box. You get some... Yeah. You get... What's that? Slope?

That's why. Y equals MX plus B. What's the Churchill? That's what y equals mx plus b. What's the Churchill? That's what's probably would have said that. Who knows? Well, it sounds like my Wednesdays are going to be very full. Yeah, play along.

Play along and let me know how good you do. What time? What time does this premiere at? I have no idea what time it streams. I'm pretty sure. Well, I know it streams, but usually there's like, when it's a debut, it doesn't have a time or is it just a day? It's just the day, yeah. All right. So I can watch it immediately so it doesn't interfere with the grotesquerie at night?

There you go. All right. There you go. Perfect. If you're not sick of fucking seeing me on the TV. Oh, dude, I can't wait. Please tell me how well you do because I was was actually I was kind of like quizzing myself Going through the questions in the back just making sure I would read them once just so that I because I'm a terrible reader

We'll just get can we get the video from prime and then I'll just do it and answer them. Boom. Boom. See how it happens. Do it live. Yeah. Or just tell me. I'll tell you. Nice. Yeah.

The pants are like the bringing them into a lot of their like. Well, we don't want to get too much of this review.

We're going to save it. Yeah. It definitely had something to do with the movie. Had nothing to do with it. Tied all the girls together, Jason. Yeah, you're right. They're in childhood and friendship. No, their entire lives. Not enough. We need pants. We'll talk about it in the one. Plus, though, shouldn't even be. It should be the like they weren't even. They acted like they were Jeans, they couldn't have like the whole movies premise is like these girls are amazed because it's the first pair of jeggings

They tried on and there's some spandex to them. You're giving it away Jason. You're giving your review sisterhood of the traveling jeggings So it should have been called. Yeah out of the house moving on We both got out of the house this past week and we're going to talk about it. Out of the house is brought to you by the powerful backing of American Express. I tailgated at the link and then went up to East Rutherford, New Jersey, where I tailgated with Buffalo Bills and New Jersey Jets fans, New York Jets fans. Trav, you had a bye this week. And there's a small chance that we also saw you out of the house. Yeah, no, you saw me at the the guards and a games game. We saw you before that too, courtesy of this picture right here. We saw you going out

to eat. It looked like maybe you guys are out in New York City, you and Tay? That's what we do. We like to go out and eat, yes. Yeah. I mean, who doesn't? Why wouldn't you? What in the world was the shirt though? We got to show this. I have no idea. I think it's just art. I think it's just people and then there's a horse. I don't know. What's underneath that horse? I'm not sure. I didn't really look at this shirt like that when I got it. I just like the color and the patterns and stuff. It looks like a hand. It looks like a pointing finger. It's

pointing finger like that. It's kind of cropped funny, but that, I mean, on this picture, it kind of appears like it's a horse cock. That'd be crazy if I was wearing a horse cock. That's crazy. Yeah. That's why you always got gotta really, you know, you gotta make sure you know what you're wearing kids, or you're just, everybody can just assume now. Oh gosh. Well, we do know what you're wearing because British GQ did a whole breakdown on the shirt.

Oh nice, thanks British GQ. That's what they say. In New York City, the American football player wore a Navy bowling shirt with a camp collar design and a boxy fit released as part of Jaquemeu's latest La Casa line. It's a signature move from the French label, flowy, fun and more vibrant, It's a signature move from the French label, flowy, fun, and more vibrant,

Marseille than minimalist Paris. It's a fancy way of saying it's a button down with horses and people fucking on it. People fucking? I mean, that's what you got out of that? Look at these two people right here. You're ridiculous, Jason. That woman is riding that man.

They're standing next to each other. No, they're not. No, no, no, not that one, the one right below it. You can't even see that guy's legs. They're sitting next to each other. No, no, no, he's underneath. You're making an assumption. There's nothing saying that they're having sex.

What are her tits out for if they're not having sex, Travis? She could just be wearing a very tight shirt that shows her tits. She's got a BBL on the backside of that. I mean, what's happening on this shirt? Those hamstrings are very... You're right. The hamstrings match it. You're right. You're right. You're ridiculous. The fact that that got you fired up is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Travis, we also saw you at the Guardians Yankees game. While you were in New York, you also caught Guardians Yankees ALCS game. Yeah, game one, baby. Playoff baseball.

What is it about playoff baseball that's so electric? I think it's just the intensity. You play all those, what is it, 182 games for these know, for these moments, and then every single pitch matters. Every single pitch matters. A few got away from our first reliever there, unfortunately, and sure enough, we just weren't able to bounce back from Yankees power, man. It's, I'll tell you what, man,

when Stanton and Soto, when they get a hole to one, man, oh shit, that ball flies off the bat, man. It is impressive. It is impressive shit. My guy, Judge, he's right there on having a huge game and I mean the whole time I'm just, I'm screaming. I'm in hostile territory because it's the Bronx Bombers and I'm at the Yankee Stadium in the playoffs

and I'm over here cheering for the guards because I'm a Cleveland kid and I want to see Cleveland win a fucking World Series. And yeah, it was mixed feelings because I was there trying to have some fun with Tay and everybody. All our friends, Eli and Chelsea came, Dlefko and Enum came. Oh, nice. We had an unbelievable crew with us and hanging with us. And, you know, it was, it was fun. It was fun, even though the guards couldn't pull it off. It was still an exciting, exciting game. And it was cool to see Yankee Stadium,

because I've always wanted to see that thing in person in a playoff game in a hostile environment. And it didn't disappoint, man. The Yankees, the fans, the players, everybody involved, man. It was awesome. There is something about playoff baseball that, and I love regular baseball, anytime you go down to the ballpark, you're getting a hot dog and a beer, you're having some fun. Oh yeah.

But playoff baseball, it's like almost the history of it, you just get swept up in like the moment. It's one of the most iconic. I will say, I don't think it's as good as playoff hockey. I don't know that anything competes with playoff hockey now, but playoff baseball is pretty dang good. I feel like I feel like it does because you can get the play. You know, the player's stories a little bit more. And not to say that hockey doesn't do a great job of that,

but you just don't see, you know, hockey players wanting to put themselves out there for everybody. You get to know them. It just is what it is. It's just not kind of the culture of the league, I don't think. Yeah, I think that's probably fair. I think it's, yeah, I do think that's part of the culture. Part of it's, you know, it's just not as popular of a sport as baseball. They're wearing, you know, the helmets and stuff. So you see them, eh, they have the open face

mask, most of them. Yeah. I think you're right. I think a lot of it does come down to the hockey culture. I just feel like I'm more invested in every single player. Like if if the Yankees play the Dodgers, you know, a little New York versus the old Brooklyn Dodgers. You're right. It's a sport that's ruled by the by the the star power. It's a star power driven league. You put a guy like show hey, oh, Tony, yeah, in New York, dude. And you like I want to see how he reacts to, you know, a hostile environment like that.

I think that's exciting for me to see as a as a player. So every single time I see him up at bat, I'm going to be glued into every single pitch. It's hard to find that in any other sport, you know, let alone in the playoffs. I think it's also we just grew up in the 90s with the Indians. And we just loved baseball so much because they were so good. How many World Series or playoff games did we go to? I know you were one World Series game. You did. I only went to the all star. That's right. I went to the all star.

You went to the World Series. I remember going to just taking the rapid downtown and going to games for like a $5 $10 ticket. Or if a friend had an extra ticket for me, we would all just jump on the rapid and go downtown. Yeah, mom and dad didn't have many tickets bought. We usually were. It was either through work or we were tag alongs with somebody.

sailors had season tickets that they would split up with a couple other people. So once while ago with Brandon, we did go to the one playoff game together because mom always tells the story about how we fell asleep in like the fourth inning or something like that. And we were like fast asleep, because it was a late game. No way. Do I gotta text mom right now?

No, I just, there's no way I ever have fell asleep at a tribe game. Mom tells this story. I don't think. We were kids. Maybe you were asleep. We were like very young. We were both asleep I promise you maybe maybe if we went to the game and I really didn't know what was going on But every game that I went to I was I was the biggest

like fiend for sports ever if I ever went to a ballgame or a Like a basketball game or anything like that. Like I was so glued Travis nobody is Nobody is attacking your fan crazy. If you think that I was asleep during one of these games, it doesn't matter how you say you are. You're a child bag mom and dad to buy the the $20 roster book so that I could actually keep score of the game, which means

I'm watching every single pitch. Nobody is at all and I'm telling you, I don't know. Saying that you weren't a big fan. I think she's just saying that you fell asleep. I was paying attention to every single pitch. Mom will text me back, hopefully, if the hurricane didn't ruin her phone. I think that you... The thing is, like, my kids, Bluey is like cracked to them.

They won't be glued to Bluey, but they're still children. And eventually that brain is going to shut it down and they're just going to fall asleep. I don't know what to tell you. I never fell asleep at a game. I'll text Ed to that was there. Yeah. Shout out to my guys that I actually know on the Yanks

Rizzo big judge. If I'm missing somebody, I'm an idiot. But those guys are Hall of Fame. Just people idiot, but those guys are a Hall of Fame Just people man just all like there's some of my favorite guys to be around when I do get a chance to hang out with them Saw some Saturday night live two years ago I believe with them and it's just cool seeing them seeing them chase it chase the ring Even though I want my guards to find a way to get him Come on baby, this Come on, baby.

This is a tough place to play, though, brother. I text dad, did Travis and I ever fall asleep at an Indians game? He said, no, I did. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha sleeping from he could fall asleep at a fucking rock. That's not better. We had some Cleveland sports. So we were getting into you went to the guards game and I saw a Browns game. Yeah, the latest tailgating. How about it? Who knew Jason tailgating? It was the second weekend in a row.

You got to do some tailgating out there in a Philly and well tailgating general. I guess Philly is the first time in like two weeks. You actually hit two different tailgates. Let's start with the Eagles game first. How was your second time tailgating at the link? Was it with a little bit more genuine this time knowing you didn't have all the did I guess you say cameras following you? There were cameras following.

Yeah, this one. The first one was more like a pre-planned deal. This one was kind of like just show up and like try and experience it, but it turned into chaos. Yeah, it was a blast, man. It was the car. You know, maybe. Yeah, baby. Shout out to Harold.

Are you a Jersey guy now? I am, especially the throwbacks. Dude, I got my guy. We're going to talk about the the Bills Jets game in a second. I got a great Jersey from that one, but it was awesome. Rocking Harold Carmichael used to do. Harold used to be the director of player development. That was his role with the Eagles when I first got here. So, got to spend a lot of time with him. He

was instrumental in helping a lot of young players and the rookies out, getting acclimated, new people to the city, just an awesome personality. So, it was really cool to wear his jersey. And it was awesome to go tailgate. I mean, listen, got the hold up a baby. You see this picture right here. Like, you know. No way that's are the words. I also witnessed somebody get engaged in front of me. That was not planned, at least on my behalf. That came out of nowhere. Oh shit, Brian Dawkins got married?

Brian Dawkins proposed to this one lovely lady. Were there any Philadelphia delicacies that you got into like alligator? Yeah, alligator was not on the menu this week, but there were cheesesteaks. Everybody's got sausage. One of the guys had this jerk chicken set up on this charcoal like tailgate was probably a grill specifically for tailgate. I had never seen it, though. It was dope. Just sitting on the ground.

Let me tell you, these chicken thighs, pretty damn good. I had my first time. I had jerk beef. Jerk beef? I've never heard of jerk beef. Who's doing jerk beef? Never mind. I don't even know if it was that. It was a jerk pasta with beef in it. I mean, you can do jerk anything probably. It's just the jerk seasoning. I've just never had it. I mean you can do jerk anything probably is just the jerk seasoning Yeah, I've just never had I've only ever had jerk chicken maybe pork and lastly There was an insane video going around of you chugging a beer Yeah, the focus wasn't as much on you as it was on

The cameraman next to you and this is why you shouldn't go on top of trailers kids I will say this woman was up there already and she offered to go up there again. I was like, yeah, I'm not going to turn down the opportunity to go up on a trailer. I've never been on top of a trailer. Almost felt like, you know, it reminded me of I felt like I was in tremors. I felt like I was like one of the guys in tremors up on the bus. You remember that scene?

The the worm things that were in the desert. Yeah. And they would get up on top of vehicles and stuff so they weren't touching the ground. And then we'd start popping the tires. Yeah. I don't know. I got an insane flashback the moment I got up there. My guy. I don't know how he got up there. This ladder was like, I was nervous going up myself, like very old, like did not look like it was adhered very well. And somehow this guy climbed up there with a camera. I mean, it was impressive that he's up there to begin with. Yeah. Didn't know there was a skylight there,

stepped, broke right through the window in the roof. Luckily he's good, he's okay. Camera fell down. I thought it was done, donezo. Donezo. He ran picked it up started recording worked perfectly fine. I don't know how what that's how durable those things are I don't think that they're supposed they are but somehow that thing must have fell just right. It was insane That's that's like a 10 12 foot drop right there. Yeah, that's like a $200,000 piece of equipment right there, that camera, I would assume. That thing is expensive. Were you like shooting the doc? Was that your camera? Was that your guy? They're helping with another thing we're doing with ESPN that I think we're waiting to kind of

unleash that. Nice. They were there shooting with that. They're really with NFL Films is who they're with, but the camera dropped kind of, I thought it was gone for sure Luckily, I knew he was alright with the way he got up and then He just kept up and kept recording. This is a trooper electric. This is why you chug people This good things happen when you chug you get good content Well now I'm two for two now at Eagles tailgates my man Dunphy almost tore his ACL the last one he did. Yeah Luckily, he's okay. Well, doesn't need surgery. And now this, I mean, I don't know, maybe I'm cursed. Yeah, if you see Jason chugging, don't move.

Yeah, so this was awesome. It was a fun time, fun event, being out there with the Eagles fans. A little weird seeing Browns fans and I was ribbing them, but obviously being from Cleveland, I still love the Browns. In particular, there's this from Cleveland, I still love the Browns. In particular, there's this one tent dudes are awesome. They're from St. Ignatius. Really happy to be there. So it was cool seeing some Brownies in attendance. Some fellows, Believelenders. This is a big game. It was a big game. Week six, it's not

divisional, but both of the teams needed to win bad. Like Cleveland is in a bad spot right now. And I mean, honestly, if we're being real honest, they're a bad football team. I mean, it was, I came away watching that game thinking Cleveland's worse than anything else. Like that offense just cannot get it figured out right now. I think it was a rough go around for both teams because we heard some Sirianni chants,

but we'll get to that later. Let's talk a little bit of Monday night football countdown. Little Monday night countdown with ESPN send you to the Bills jets game in the metal lands. And you were reunited with your people. Bills mafia. Dude, you started. Yeah, you started things off once again, drinking out of a bowling ball,

got that one back in. You like that one so much. Um, except this time we actually know what was in it. Yeah, it was Gatorade. If Pistol Round offers me a shot out of a bowling ball, I'm not gonna turn down Pistol Round, I'm not doing it. Why blue Gatorade? Because I'm not supposed to drink

when I'm on Monday night countdown. It's one of the caveats of working for ESPN. They don't like you to be seen drinking alcohol or even drinking alcohol before they put you on live television. That's fair. Unless you're Pat McAfee, then you get away with whatever you want. When you're the greatest, you get different.

Yeah, you get treated differently. It is what it is. Well, yeah, Pat's a man. So what I'm wearing right there is a hat from the Water Buffalo Club, 716. And they have a grand poobah. What the grand poobah? And that's what the Fred Flintstone outfit is. And they anointed me that which is basically I'm king of the tailgate for the day. I'm king of Bill's mafia. Which felt a little weird getting while I wore this jersey in honor

of a legendary defensive lineman who recently unfortunately passed away this week, Abdul Salam. That's right. The last member of the New York SAC exchange, not in the Ring of Honor for the New York Jets, but known as the Soldier of Peace. But yeah, we were having a lot of fun out there in the tailgate. Bill's Mafia, it doesn't matter where they're at. They're having fun. Fellow Midwesterners, obviously there's a kinship.

Buffalo's Midwest? Well, I consider anybody that resides along. It's New York. There's no way. You're right. If you're on the lake, all those cities, just good people, they think the same. They all just want to have fun. And it's a great time being out there with the Buffalo Bills Mafia.

The Jets fans are awesome too. Jets fans were fun when I watched you last year playing the Jets. The Bills mafia is more of a production. Like they have a lot more going on. There's like people that travel and obviously there's a way game for them. So those fans have like their, their, their, their like rituals that they're going to with everything. Yeah. Whereas like the Jets fans was like, Oh, yeah, I used to be a firefight. I'd just go tailgate to the games. Like it was, you know, a lot of that. Kind of appreciated too. For sure.

You got a hard hat. Dude, this is one of the baddest hands. Like I gotta say. Dude, this is pretty cool. You're like, you're like getting like a... I'm just like using it to get knickknacks. Yeah. This is awesome. This is sweet. I mean, hook me up. Oh! You're going to be a hoarder before you know it.

People are going to be giving you everything. That's good shit right there. And then you had a wardrobe change after you went tailgating though, Jason. I did, I did. You actually put on a fucking suit. Suit and tie. A suit and tie. How about it?

I think the suit's nice. I think that that's one. There's a reason why people have worn suits for a long time. So getting up there with a tie. This one obviously fit color scheme wise with the game My man Ryan Clark was in the Jets suit colors this one. I had this color already in my Closet electric blue and I'm like man. I don't know when I'm ever gonna wear this like very blue blue Like I don't know when that's gonna happen. I was like, you know what? I think this might be the perfect week I don't know when that's going to happen. I was like, you know what? I think this might be the perfect week.

Dude, New York Jets. I could see you playing for the Bills. I would have fit in really well. Yeah. I mean, Ryan Fitzpatrick, anybody with a beard is going to fit in well with the beard, with the Bills, right? Yeah, man, you fucking snapping it to Josh Allen would have been fucking dangerous. God damn it. Snapping it to Ryan Fitzpatrick. Ooh, Fitzmagic, all right. Bill's is a town that appreciates their offensive line too. Much like Cleveland, much like Philadelphia, the Bills, like my man Eric Wood, he's been up there. He's like calls the games for Bill's radio and stuff

like that still. He would, yeah. It's a town that definitely appreciates the big guys up front. So it's an offensive line haven town. I get it. Well, um, where'd you get this uh, this buffalo, uh, buffalo wing necklace Uh, so teresa was the one giving out the grand pooba tire and there was another woman I don't remember her name, but she had the uh, buffalo wing necklace for me, which Is my kind of jewelry which is my kind of jewelry. Well, I've got a few of those things doing hot ones once or twice. And that does it for Out of the House, brought to you by the powerful backing of American Express.

Hey! All right, now let's talk about our next sponsor, Mint Mobile. And it looks like we actually have a message here from our guy, Ryan Reynolds himself. Yes! Should we play it, Jason? Uh, yeah. Please, Brandon, get on it. This is hilarious. Hey, Ryan Reynolds here from It Mobile.

If you could hear my voice, it means that you're most likely a football fan or a 30-something year old woman. This podcast has some insane crossover appeal that I'm not totally sure I understand, but I think it's great. As a fan of football, I love watching a player run the full 110 yards of the field, scoring a touchdown in the 20-yard deep end zone as all 12 players in the field celebrate.

Hold on, my producer's trying to get my attention. What? Oh, okay, apparently this podcast is about American football, not the superior sport of Canadian football. Now that all my sports talking points are moot, there's no better time to let you know that Mint Mobile is offering their unlimited wireless for $15 a month

Trav, did you know I'm a big Peloton guy, especially the Peloton Tret? I think I did know this. And apparently I'm a big Peloton guy, especially the Peloton Tret? I think I did know this. And apparently I'm in great company because JJ Watt and TJ Watt might be the Peloton guys

after seeing these outputs they posted. Did you see what JJ tweeted? These outputs are outrageous. This is insane. He averaged 27.5 miles per hour. His quads are as big as me as an entire human. So what are the Watts made of? And TJ beat them. TJ beat them. TJ was seven. So he was eight and somehow TJ got seven. This is especially for how big they are. I don't even know how this

is possible. Yeah, no, I'm a that's usually this is like skinny guys with big old quads. All right. Well, eighth place out of 54,000 people and 553 output on a 20 minute ride. Yeah, Alex, I'll say that that's electric. And of course, JJ Watt is still mad. There were seven people who finished ahead of him. Absolutely ridiculous. As we just said, one of those seven people was TJ Watt who came in seventh place, which is even more this happened in season.

TJ Watt just casually the best bicycle rider in the middle of NFL season. What the hell can these guys not do? This is mind blowing to me. This dude just went out got three sacks and hopped on the Peloton and put out that type of performance. I don't know how we're supposed to compete with this. How anybody's supposed to compete with this? Well, one thing's for certain Peloton is a perfect place for some good old-fashioned sibling rivalry. That's right, between the two of us and the Watts, we might just have to find out for real who's taking that top spot on the leaderboard.

Let's move on to some football. Yeah, I had a bye this week. So we have no updates for you for Chiefs football. The Eagles did, though, play and it was a win.

The Eagles got a dub. Eagles 20, Brown 16. Like we were talking about earlier, Jason was out there tailgating before the game. Initial thoughts, though, on the actual game. Obviously, always good when you win some good takeaways from the game. Defense played a lot better. No turnovers for the offense in general. Still, though, I came away from the game again.

We kind of mentioned this earlier, thinking more about, you know, Cleveland probably is a struggling team right now than I did thinking that the Eagles really controlled the game. So I don't think it was like an impressive performance by either team. But that being said, wins or win, baby. I'm taking that all day. – All day, every day. – They improved in some areas that they've been struggling. Defense played so much better, and I think offensively, it was sporadic. It felt a little bit disconnected, but at times, good. And then obviously, whenever you got A.J. Brown back and little bit disconnected, but at times good.

And then obviously whenever you got AJ Brown back and healthy, it's not a bad thing. Don't forget Skinny Batman. You had both AJ and Skinny Batman, Smitty back in the offense, but you guys still haven't scored in the first quarter yet through five games. Zero points in the first quarter of every single game they played so far. Yeah. I think they were driving towards the end of that first quarter. So it almost happened, but I think yeah, it hasn't been a good start to games.

And as you know, a lot of starts to games come down to like what you have planned coming in and what you think you're going to see. And I think the Eagles, you know, I don't want to speak for this this year because I don't know as much whether that's happening this year, but Jalen has always been a guy that's been schemed differently because he's a different quarterback, right? 100%. He would tend to run different plays and different offensive structures than a lot of other teams do. So I don't know if it's like they're not getting quite what they expect. I think

some of it's just bad execution. I've definitely seen drops and slow starts from the players. So I think a lot of it is just accountability on both sides, right? Players have to be accountable to getting off to a faster start and being locked in to start the game. And then I think also offensively, you know, getting to stuff that you feel like is maybe you're more of your bread and butter. Does that make sense? Like sometimes I think the early plays end up being game plan specific plays, maybe start

with plays that are more just generic part of your offense, maybe I don't know, kind of grasping the straws. It feels like the Eagles are starting to get a little frustrated with it. At least the Eagles players. Lane Johnson hit us with the whole time quote, we're a constipated offense. That's what it bleeping feels like. Yeah. It's accurate. A constipated office. I mean, that shit's in there, man. Yeah, it's in there. It's in there. Just gotta get that shit out.

That X lax going. Yeah, you already know. I think it's a great definition and you know, go for go figure Lane just can pull that out of his ass. The constipated offense great line. And that's what it's exactly what it feels like. It just feels kind of disconnected out of rhythm. It feels like it's like they have the players, they make spot plays here and there, but it doesn't feel like that full onslaught of plays that go off one another that you're typically

seeing. It's more like guys making plays, like AJ going up there and catching a 50-50 ball, which I don't know if there are any 50-50 balls with AJ Brown. Obviously, the run game struggled a little bit, which, you know, Cleveland's got some horses up front. They got good players. So shout out to them for showing up and my man, Jim Schwartz, for dialing up a game plan. They had some plays that were there. They did. They just, watching it back, they had some counters, they had some things drawn up where it's like, man, if that just happens, that thing's creased. There was an early run where like Saquon runs into Lannan Dickerson and

like Lannan Dickerson makes the tackle, right? And it's like, he's on the single safety. Like that's at least a 10 yarder. He breaks one tackle, explosive run. Who knows how big it is. Yeah. You know, there's plays to be had. Some of it comes down to executing. Some of it just feels like, I think that they're trying to figure things out right now because they've struggled a little bit in recent weeks, especially missing AJ and Devante that I think will continue to get better.

Obviously having those guys out there this week helped. Another week of figuring themselves out. Hopefully this offense keeps going, starts to find some rhythm and is a little bit less constipated. That'd be nice. Yeah, more explosive. Well, AJ Brown finished with six receptors for 116 yards and a touchdown. Jalen connected to AJ for the first TD of the game, a 22 yarder. He also caught an electric game ceiling reception, a 40 yard pass with two minutes left to play. It sounds like

Cleveland might've went and covered zero and they just said, fuck it, we're putting it up. What do you think of this play call here late in the game? And also did Wyatt notice his pink shoes are back? I was not watching with Wyatt, but she probably did. It was not cover zero, just straight up cover one with the safeties up and or man hole hole is what we call it double hole Picking crossers and just making the quarterback throw over top, which he did he did beautifully great pitching catch By guys two guys that know how to do it the best in the league. Listen, it's AJ Brown He's gonna come down with these catches like nine times out of 10. He's a beast. He's a swole Batman.

I do think back to the slow starts and maybe game plan specific plays, it felt like a good way to buck that sometimes is utilizing tempo. I think that they do it sometimes, but it feels like Jalen when they go into these two minute situations, he goes more into like automatic mode. I wouldn't be opposed to them maybe mixing some tempo early in the game, like here and there to spark some momentum. I think that it's worked in the past with him in particular. I think as an offense, I always liked when you're going tempo, you have to call more

generic stuff that goes off of one another. It's like, hey, we know we like this versus this. We know like this versus this. And it kind of you know, because of the tempo nature of it, you can't do all these crazy things. I like the Kellens brought more motions and more interesting things, we still need to do that. But maybe sometimes early on, just to like getting a rhythm, sometimes using utilizing that helps. So maybe they do that. I don't know. Yeah, it's probably the coaches coach though. Yeah,

coaches know best and they'll keep figuring it out Sirianni knows what he's doing over there Devontae Smith also had a big day finished with three catches for 64 yards It's good to see that dynamic duo in the wide receiver group over there starting to get back on track But I'm Nick Sirianni the big things coming out of this game that we got to talk about Sirianni appears to be chirping back at the game that we got to talk about. Sirianni appears to be chirping back at the Eagles and I'm not sure if he was necessarily chirping back or if you know, like it was a confrontation or if he was just, you know, trying to get fired up with them. We don't know what was actually said. At least I don't think so.

The fans who Nick Sirianni was yelling at after the Eagles win posted his side of the story context on Reddit. Nice, he's a Reddit guy. I began to yell in quotes, if you start running back, get you five yards on first down, you give it to him again. Run, run the ball, run the ball. And I had some more to say, but you get the point. Yeah, it sounds like the Eagles fans coaching in the, uh, and that's what they do. They let the coach know what they think they should do. I mean, it's, it's fans. The Nick Sirianni run the ball stuff. You know, Nick turned around. Obviously everybody saw this gesture for him to calm down and said something to the effect. We will don't worry. I'm on it.

Or actually they didn't see that. So Nick turned around beforehand, gesture to him to calm down, said something to the effect that we will don't worry. I'm on it. Or actually, they didn't see that. So Nick turned around beforehand, gesture to him to calm down, said something to the effect that we will don't worry about it. Fast forward to the end of the game, came over to us and said, Hey, I told you we'd run it. I told you. Admittedly paraphrasing, I had indulged quite a bit. The point is, it was not unwarranted nor did I see it as aggressive. I don't know. There's no way for us to verify if this fan was indeed the fan that Nick was yelling at. This is a Reddit post, which is far from a verified source. But it is intriguing because I think that would lead you to believe that this may be not be as big of a deal as everybody's saying it is. And it probably isn't regardless. I think Nick and his presser announced, you know, we thrive off of the crowd, they cheer for us and the team had been trying to

get him back to being the like emotional leader that he is. And obviously, he commented on Monday, you know, I was trying to bring the energy, enthusiasm, all that. I'm sorry, disappointed in the way I directed it at the end of the game. My energy should be all in on coaching, motivating, celebrating our guys. So he knows that. Listen, it's a lose lose operation when you start going back and forth with fans. It's tough. It's never going to be seen right. It only empowers people, uh, to talk more trash because they

know they're getting to you. We talked about this with Joey Bosa. Joey Bosa is the link. Fish on. Fish on. We got him. You can't do it. It's just not going to help. But I've seen this because I said this on Monday night. People are like, oh, you're defending Nick. I'm not defending him. I think he shouldn't be doing this. I don't think that that's right. But at the same time, I will defend him. And like he needs to be emotional. He needs to be passionate. That's when he is a better coach and he knows that.

And the team knows that. And I think that directing it in the right way is what we want to see. And I think that for the majority of the game, that's what you saw. You saw Nick fired up. The team needed that. They needed to win this game.

He knows what's on the line and it's getting, the sense of urgency is high right now in Philadelphia. So yeah, not good to be directing it in this way. Nick knows that. That's clear. Hopefully you can continue to bring the passion and the energy in more productive ways that won't have a bunch of people on TV shouting about stuff. That'd be great. Well, I feel like you just gave us your final thoughts. Yeah, that's about it. I think that it was still an underperformance by the Eagles. They still got a lot to work on, but the good thing is, is week four, or week, sorry, good

thing is week six, is that right? Week seven, week seven, game six. Week seven, God damn, this thing is flying by. Yeah, it is. Wow. Yeah, and the Eagles are gonna take the subway over to New York, or New Jersey, I should say. We got the Giants, the Giants haven't been looking that bad.

Yeah, Saquon's returned to the metal lands, baby. Haven't been looking great on offense, but their defense is looking dang good. So, it'll be a fun game. We did have one voice of reason, maybe an unlikely voice of reason from our guy Dumpy. Eagles are literally a wide open two yard Saquon Barkley catch away from being four and one while missing AJ Brown for three weeks and the lone loss being when AJ Brown, Smitty and Lane Johnson

were all out. It's a reasonable take Dumpy. God damn Dumpf. That's a good fucking take. Level headed Philly fanatic tattoo around your belly button take right there. You don't always get that out of those kind of Philly fans. Those die hards sometimes. Those die hards sometimes just pour it on them. Week six recap. Not the best week for football. Last week, great week for football.

So the offenses reinvigorate around the league. This week, got back to a. So the offenses reinvigorate around the league this week. Got back to a little bit of sloppiness. The big news break that we have following the week is Devonte Adams is now a jet. Jets coming off of their lost Monday night football to the Bills, short lived amount of agony, Jets, Jake, I mean, jumping for joy. This is, this should expand the offense. Obviously, Garrett Wilson, Luzard, it's gonna add another dynamic. Every time, anytime any offense or anytime any Hall of Fame

quarterback gets this kind of receiver, or gets his like legendary receiver that he has been always on the same page with, gets him back. yeah, no, this offense is going to be a lot better, and it just is what it is. Yeah, absolutely. The offense looked reinvigorated too, with Todd Downing calling plays yesterday. It just felt like it was more in sync.

They were moving the ball, man. They were moving the ball, man. They were handing it off. Back to the fan that Nick got into it. Run the ball, coach! Run the ball! Pshhh! That's a good point. Other news, Cowboys home losing streak. Now at three,

they've lost three in a row. They didn't lose a single regular season home game last year. I don't think. That's great. They've lost three this season. It wasn't just a loss this week either, man. It was. Detroit. Jerry Jones birthday. Happy birthday, Jerry. Almost got a 50 burger from the Detroit Lions When they were they were they were fucking around I'm not gonna lie They were throwing hook and lateral linemen

They were throwing offensive linemen out outside the numbers like I'm like they were doing running screen. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah Dan skipper eligible. Yeah, it was it was interesting, but I don't think anybody can really point a finger on what exactly is wrong with the Cowboys. It just doesn't look like they're playing very well together. Yeah, they've struggled to stop the run all year round. And I just think the games of the defense has really struggled has been like the Ravens Detroit Shocker. Both those teams really good. Run the fuck out of the ball, yeah. Going downhill, right at you. They've gotten, it felt like they were getting better and Detroit is just so good at it and

they've been asserting their will all season long. And then Jared Goff hits it behind you. I mean, it's Ben Johnson, the guys that they have in Detroit, it's an impressive unit on their offensive side of the ball and defensive. But obviously we saw Aiden Hudson go down with a very graphic injury, almost like an MMA style. Hopefully he's all right, he'll get back eventually when he gets healthy.

Great player, that shit sucks, man. It sucks for the game of football, man. And obviously it sucks for him and his family, man. Nobody likes to see an injury, let alone one like that. And hopefully he gets right back to full strength Obviously, it sucks for him and his family, man. Nobody likes to see an injury, let alone one like that. And hopefully he gets right back to full strength as fast as possible, knowing how amazing of a player he is. But shout out to the Hutchinson fan, man.

Hopefully Dallas can get back to full strength. Micah Parsons, they need some of their guys back. It'll be interesting to see how the NFC shakes out. Washington's been doing a hell of a job. I know they lost this week to the monster that's over there in Baltimore. But they've been trending good. It's wide open right now in the NFC East. Other results from across the league, Texas is 41, Patriots 21. Texas has come out on top. Texas has started, they've been winning games. It honestly reminds me a little bit of you guys

where they just find a way to get it done at the end of games. The CJ Stroud and company. Yeah, especially with Drake May getting his debut. Oh, yeah. It's man putting up 21 points. Not bad day for a debut. Yeah. Packers Cardinals Packers run away with that one. The most interesting game to me, though, is that Ravens commanders game.

I really wanted to see how the young guy handled the pressure of of up against a Ravens defense because they fly around, they're smart, they're well coached, they just they always have a knack for getting around the football and they made they didn't make it easy on the young guy man. Well he played all right. I thought actually Jaden played well. The thing that they really struggled, they've been great at running the ball all season long. The Ravens took that away and it made it like hey, you're gonna have to beat us and he still played well He had him and Terry McCormick they're building a hell of a connection McCormick had a couple catches around my house Gary Terry did this dude just catch this ball. It was very terrible Believable it's like he pulls out one of those every fucking game now

Well, the the Bucks put up a 50 burger on the Saints man. Yes, they did. Bucks offense man. That's another one when they're running the fucking football. Good luck. It is gonna make Baker's day so much easier if he can just get some good play action and really get everybody to to declare what they're doing here and get our guy Mike Evans in a fucking one on one situation. I mean, that's a dude. You look at their offense quietly. I mean,

besides maybe the Denver game, I think quietly their offense has been killing people. Yeah. Yeah. They are making plays. They are looking real good. It's a weird game too. They jumped out to like a three score lead almost. Then they the Saints came back and took the lead and then all of a sudden it was like a runaway show for the Bucks very weird yeah well Steelers 32 Raiders 13 and the Steelers said now that's not good enough Justin Fields we're gonna go ahead and go with Russell Wilson I

don't understand I thought the Steelers were playing pretty good with Justin Fields but I guess they they got something else hidden in their back pocket thinking that Russell's going to give them more offense. They got it done versus the Raiders. That's all that matters, right? Yeah. They're winning football games. Yeah. Any other more interesting games, I guess?

Bears over Jacksonville and London, Caleb Williams second consecutive week where you can see the young fellas starting to build some chemistry. He's looking better. Joe Flacco wins another one for the Colts. 49ers getting back to maybe a little bit of what they have been. Seahawks have struggled a little bit ever since the Lions game. They're another one dealing with some injuries. Yeah. The Lions play so physical. There's some crazy stat. I don't know what it is off the top of my head of like teams after they play the Lions that they're like win percentages way down

because of how physical that game is. Fucking biting kneecaps, man. Fighting Dan Campbells. Fuck. Before we get to our guest, Pat McAfee, let's answer a couple of your no dumb questions because there's no such thing as dumb questions. Just dumbAfee. Let's answer a couple of your no-dumb questions, because there's no such thing as dumb questions. Just dumb-ass people.

That's right. No-Dumb Questions is brought to you by MipMobile, the smart answer to saving money on premium wireless. Yes, sir. Deb13m, now that the NHL season has started, which hockey players, past or present, do you think could play in the NFL and at what what position Eric Lindroth could play in the NFL? Yeah he was pretty confident about that one. You think he's a tight end? Dude I so he came to the golf outing we had for Pete Philly this year. I remember

you telling me. He's massive man. Massive dude yeah. Like he could have put on weight easily and played O-line he definitely could have played tight end. Yeah I'm thinking he was a tight end. I think that that's probably the most accurate. For what his stature was during a player. He's rocking jersey number 88. Come on, he's a tight end. There we go, little Dallas Goddard.

OK, 88. Who else? Freaking Jagger with this freaking mullet would have been awesome to watch out there on a football field. That would have been awesome to see. I don't know what position he's playing, but I'm with you. You think Claude Giroux could have found his way as a wide receiver or something? I don't know, maybe.

I mean, he's feisty. I told you he used to- Maybe DB, by DB? He used to come in and ask the arm wrestler, I don't know, DB's tough. Maybe safety, maybe safety. He used to come in and ask the arm wrestle anybody. Like he's just one of them type of guys.

So mentality wise, yes. Mentality wise mentality wise absolutely could play in the NFL physically yeah I'm gonna have to see that what about some of the bruisers from the league what's his name playing for the fucking Leafs who uh he uh who'd he play for last year um I always think it's Zidane O'charo O'charo the 6 the 6'11 defender from Boston. He could play DN. I mean, what position would he play? I think he'd be a DN. Got that reach. He's got some like wiggle to him. He can put some weight on, play some offensive tackle. There you go. That's what a defense, I mean defenseman. Just keep the guy in front of you. He's got that skill. You think a guy like McDavid who's the fastest thing on fucking ice can play receiver or running back. He kind of,

he weaves like a running back when he's on the ice. He's got the elusiveness, but it's hard. Vision for running back. Yeah. It's just hard to gauge because skating is so, I've seen guys that skate incredibly well and then you see them run on a field and it's just not the same. Not that they're unathletic, but it's like, it's a different, it's an entirely different muscle group that you're activating ice skating than you are when you're actually running. But the elusiveness is there. The quickness is, the twitch is there. Maybe. Past or present? Is Wayne Greske finding his way on the NFL football field? I don't think so. As much as I love Wayne.

No, you don't think Wayne's in there? I mean, he's in the, you know, we talk about this later with Pat greatness is greatness. So probably would find it figure it out But he didn't he never struck me as like having speed or like you ever seen him race You have you seen this they did like crossover like Who what was it? It was him and like three other professional athletes. I think. You're right. And they did a hundred meter dash. And he fucking smoked everybody. He smoked some. You're right.

He was rolling. You know what? He was rolling. Oh shit. There we go. Intern Brandon. Who is it? Who else is up there?

I forget. I don't, you know. It has it at the top. Sugar Ray Leonard. Sugar Ray was one of them. Yep. Oh, Pele. Pele. Pele.

Yeah. I'm not as impressed with Bjorn Borg losing, but beating Pele, that's something. Dude, he's not just beating them. He's crushing them. He's fucking rolling on them. I mean, he got the start. You know he was a two-sport athlete.

I'm pretty sure he got drafted by the Expos, yeah. Yeah. You know what? I'm gonna say he could have done it. Dude, I'm right there. I mean by the Expos, yeah. Yeah. You know what? I'm going to say he could have done it. Dude, I'm right there. I mean the form is not great, let's be honest. He runs like fucking, does that sugar raid switch lanes? Did sugar raid just switch lanes?

He's like trying to catch some wind? He's trying to drift on wind. He's trying to get some drift action? He's like, hey, I ain't winning this one. I might as well get second. My man's smart. wind. He's trying to drift. He's trying to get some drift action. He's like, Hey, I'm winning this one. I might as well get second. My man's smart. That's funny. That's hilarious. Oh, man, I will say they're running like some

dickheads. I mean, let's be honest. They it's mean that's who used to run like that fucking Chris Collins with us run like that. They're running like, uh, you ever see Josh Allen run his 40? I love Josh with his straight arms. You ever seen that? Yeah, he definitely has the straight arms for sure. Yeah. When they told him the arms that have been arms at a 90.

No, sir. He's like, no matter what it looks like, he's a baller. All right. Well, that big dog is rolling. It don't matter what it looks like. He's a baller. All right. That big dog is rolling. It turns out he looks pretty good on NFL field running. And that does it for No Dumb Questions. No Dumb Questions is brought to you by Mint Mobile. All right.

I think it's time, Trev. It's time to bring on our guest. Dude. Shall I do the honors? I'm so fucking pumped for this. I know. We've been waiting for this one. I don't even know if I'm gonna ask a question

I'm just gonna fucking just sit here and just fucking listen to my god just fucking go I mean, dude, I don't think there's anybody better at listening to than the guy that's about to come on There's not there's not I still listen to him every single day. He's the only one I don't I don't turn the TV on for anybody else but him and and Scott van PeltP. And then you when I have to. Yeah, don't you don't listen to me, stop. You're right, I don't. Right.

Jason, you want to do the honors? From Plum, Pennsylvania. He was a national punt pass and kick champion by the time he was a sophomore in high school, the seventh round pick out of West Virginia, first team all pro, first team pro bowler. He made the PFWA all rookie team and was first team all American. He's a first team yinzer all the way you've seen him on college game day, WrestleMania and of course, the host of the Pat McAfee show,

Mr. Pat McAfee. Hell yeah, brother. Man, you got me jacked up. What an honor it is to be here. Thank you for all those kind things and for doing your research. I've lived an absurd life and obviously this conversation is a piece of that. You two are running the world right now. So for letting me be a part of new heights, which I've told you, I've been a massive fan of for since the beginning of new

heights. This is an honor, a dream. Thank you for the intro. And thank you for the time. Although Jason, he was saying some terrible stuff about, you know, like a position groups. We're joking here. We're joking here. You know, we're having fun. It's a pocket. Don't shy away. Don't shy away now, Jason. Yeah, you know, the stats people you came out.

I didn't mean I was joking. We're just having fun here. We're having fun here. The kickers. You had a well thought out take. You said for years. I've been thinking about that. That's what you said.

For years. I've been thinking about we've been talking about this. You've been laying at night thinking like I need to get this show somehow. How do I work this in? You're the greatest of all time, the greatest center of all time. One of the toughest humans ever play football. And obviously your resume is what it is on the football field. So you're allowed to say whatever the hell you want. Travis, if you want to hop into that whole train, you can as well.

It's the people that have never played football that decide to dunk on like kickers and punters and stuff like that. And I'm like, you need to relax. This is why you did the the college game day. You got you're starting to bring the fans out here for talking shit. That's right. Jason, do you think you could fucking kick a field goal? Bingo.

You know what? I don't know if my hips got me in it. We might have to find this out. Get your Tim's. Okay, get your untied Tim. Get your Tim's. Yeah, the old boot style just straight on. Oh, yeah. Who was the square toe? Lou Groza used to do square toe from the Brownies. Is that what's the garbage picking field goal kicking. My gosh.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but my problem my issue is whenever people have never played football before Barry kickers and punters and act like it's an easy thing it is not easy thing like if you get out there and you play catch you probably play catch a little bit, you know, you probably could if you want to get out there and do maybe hit something or so you probably that you try to kick something most people are going to suck it, which is why the college game day thing happened for kicking is

easy. Although it's getting expensive boys last two weeks. These guys have made kicks and it's like 200,000 bucks of these guys. Jesus. I mean, it's a real deal. They're starting to practice. Yeah, I think I'm trying to get hustled too. There's a chance. But Jason, I think I think you should maybe be on the side of kickers because I think it's good for the sport. You know, I am. Listen, I am. And when I was with Connor, this is like in the middle of training camp. And

you're in your in a one on one situation. Get your ass kicked. And then you look over and the kickers are like fucking playing a game. Oh, yeah. Kicking the ball like see how far they can kick it into a ring or something like Yeah, you're taking a knee with the helmet on the side It's really a place of jealousy. It's a place of jealousy is what it is Hey, you gotta put your face in there a little bit more Jason Maybe get a little lower with your pads Exactly so I could understand your feeling about it all, but I

think it is. It's good for the game. Like, you know, on this podcast, and I assume you hear it a lot, Travis, you and Taylor's relationship is great for the sport. Like it is getting introduced to so many people and you are appreciate that been the perfect representation for our sport to I think personally, genuinely, I think that I think there's no other human that could do what you're doing right now and how you're doing it is awesome. And I, uh, you need to know that all of us are incredibly fucking proud of the way you're representing all of us, dude.

I'm just gonna keep winning soon, as soon as, if I, if we lose a game, I mean, it's gonna fucking rain down, baby. Yeah, yeah. It's gonna, we're just gonna keep winning. Just gonna keep winning, staying on top. Yeah, but also smiling at the Guardians games, you know. Yeah, come on. I was always the Clevelander. Laughing around a little bit. The guards, baby, we were right there, man.

We were right there, you know. I think we were just one hit away from just taking that fucking stadium by storm. The Bronx Bombers were good. They were out there, boo, boo, making it. It was a hostile environment out there. I was having a good time. OK, well, I'm happy you enjoyed it,

but your relationship is exposing the sport to a lot of people. I was having a good time. Okay, well I'm happy you enjoyed it, but your relationship is exposing the sport to a lot of people. I think a lot of people are falling in love with it. Globally, worldwide, the gateway for a lot of people to football is gonna be the kicking positions. You know, like in Europe, the kickers, but there's gonna be kickers and punters coming out of Europe,

I think, over the next 15, 20 years. There has to be, right? Yeah. Yeah, in Australia and everything. So I think it's good for the sport to have kicking and punting, though. I understand why centers and people that have like actual physical, you know, positions with actual ramifications can feel that way. But I genuinely enjoy the fact

that it's a sport for everybody. That's like, I think it's gonna help. I think it's gonna help go well, I think I think you you brought a new mentality to the to the specialist because you were out there throwing your fucking weight around. Come on out there. You were out there fucking taking some heads off. Come on, Travis. We got that clip from the hit versus the Broncos in 2013. You got you got selected for a drug, a drug test after that, correct?

The league saw that and they freaking said, no, no, no, this can't be all natural. That's what Travis just said right there. Yeah, I think Roger Godot was watching that saying that guy's got to be on something. Okay, let's go test him immediately. There's a few of those days, you know, like you do something good and you don't get drug tested the next day.

If you're like a kicker and punter, it's almost like a slap in the face. Like, whoa, you didn't think it was that impressive. I just hit a 60-yard field goal. You think I'm not. if you're like a kicker and punter, it's almost like a slap in the face. Like, whoa, you didn't think it was that impressive? Okay. I just hit a 60-yard field goal. You think I'm not, all right. Vinatieri's like 45 years old, hitting like a 58-yarder, and they're not drug testing him the next day.

It's like, okay. Okay, there you go. You know, so it was like a badge of honor, but yeah. I'll get lucky every once in a while, hit somebody. I'll be sore, though, for like three, four days. That's why what you guys do, I do not understand. I don't know how your guys bodies hold up like trap right now. Still like you take those shots and you're blocking more. I don't know how

your body isn't sore forever. And Jason, whenever that push push happened, you were getting folded like an accordion every single, every single time we're hyping it up. We're like push, push, keep it coming. We're like push push every word. Let's go keep it coming. AQ's like yup. Make him suffer. Make him suffer. Yeah, I could never do that. That's why you guys are

so much tougher but it's a great sport. Uh genuinely great sport. How about it? God, it's awesome. The fact that it's for everybody. You hit the nail on the head. I'm I'm talking shit. I deserve all this and maybe I can can I stop by a game day

set and see if I can make one of these? We're in Texas this weekend, brother. You want to stop anytime you want to come by, we will make happen. Oh, let me see what the schedule looks like. Maybe not this weekend. Maybe not this weekend, but I think we can make some happen. Well, I know. So we should promote that it's happening, you know, so we can get a little bit more pressure.

There we go. That works. That works. That's what yeah, make it like a game. Yeah. Yeah, I suck under pressure. I can't even snap the ball to the quarterback. You know, who had to go through this was big, big Rob Gronkowski.

Kick of the year for the Superbowl, right? He, I forget who he was. Yeah. Sandals. They did that live. That's what it was. Yeah. Two years in a row, right? Yeah. He was practicing. That's even worse. I'm not practicing. so there's zero expectations. It was windy. It was windy, you know. Dude, speaking of the win, what'd you, that Monday night game, they miss,

how many, they hit the uprights three times or twice? I think it was four misses, I think all in total. Oh my gosh. There were some bad ones too, like Tyler Bass missed that first one real bad left when Joe Buck actually mentioned it. I think he was trying to hit like a little bit of a liner to kind of cut through it. So he tried to hit it a little fat and then

he ended up hitting it too fat. So then you pull that thing. It looks nasty. But wind is a problem. You know, wind is always going to be the worst problem. When you go out on the field and you feel that wind, what are you thinking? Is it like, I'm hoping it's at my back when I'm out there? Like, how does that work? Do you, does it affect how you're doing it? Obviously, but yeah, me definitely. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not mentally tough enough for I like to see the ball fly. You know, there was guys in practice that loaded to use like brand new balls like we want

practice to be hard so that in the game, it's easier. It's like, no, I need to see these balls flying far. Pretty. Yeah. Yeah. Give me the juiciest ball we got and I want to go downwind. I want to go downwind. I want to be feeling real good going in the game. But you wake up game day morning, and you open the blinds or whatever, and then you try to find a flag on top of a building. And if that son of a bitch was at attention,

you knew it was going to be a long day. And I was immediately bummed out. In Indianapolis, we have like a dome. Oh, yeah. But we opened a window in the roof. So it shielded me a little bit. I was very lucky for that. But Indianapolis, we have like a dome. Oh yeah. But we opened a window and a roof. So it shielded me a little bit. I was very lucky for that. But yeah, kickers and punters are trying to find out

what the wind is immediately upon waking up. And it's certainly a mind and a mood changer. How about it, man? You did both at West Virginia. We're gonna get to your West Virginia career in just a little bit. You did both in college. Which one was harder?

Which one do you enjoy more, kicking or punning? So I enjoyed punting a lot more. I had a strong leg, I didn't know where I was going. You know? That is, I could have been really good at kicking, I think, if I just had a little bit better mentality. Exactly. What you're saying.

Yeah, wow. Yeah, it is. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, yeah. You make my heart sing. Bam, bam, bam bam bam, bam bam. You make my heart sing. Bam bam, bam bam bam. You make everything groovy. Yeah, that's what it was. That was my right leg when kicking field goals.

Yeah, so punting was better for me because if you're stronger, you're going to help in punting because you have to hit the ball hard every single time. And once I learned the technique, I enjoyed punting a lot more than kicking. Well, based on that clip we just showed you, absolutely decleading on the sideline, did you ever play another position?

Because you don't have that, that form doesn't come out unless you've done that before. That aggression doesn't come out unless you've done that before. Yeah, like that was not the first time you've ever laid a hit like that. Boys, what city are you from? We're from Cleveland Heights, Ohio.

Okay, I'm from Pittsburgh. Yeah. Yeah. Football town or city towns. These are football that grew up playing pickup football. You know what I mean? I was on the street in between the telephone poles, or it was in somebody's backyard. So I have been playing football my entire life. I played soccer though. So I played a lot of soccer. And also, you know, if from where I'm from, not a lot of people made it in sports ever. So I think when I was young, they like decided

and deemed that I was going to make it in soccer. So I think nobody really wanted to fuck it up in anything right. So soccer was my full focus. But I also played football in the neighborhood and in plum a lot and everybody that played on the football team. I was friends with I was like six foot tall, 190 180 to playing soccer. So football was a natural thing. And then I did a punt pass and kick. You talked about it earlier. And when I won that they asked me to come kick. I

couldn't make it to practices though I would literally just show up on Fridays. First time putting on the pads. I had no idea what I was doing. That is that is kind of how it all came together. But I've been playing football forever. You know, I got an older brother, his friends played football. So it's like I'm from Pittsburgh. So I know football, my family's happiness levels ran off the Pittsburgh Steelers success rates like my dad that die hard of an NFL fan. So it's like kind of had it in

me. But also should have played football more as a kid, I think, personally. Okay. All right. It worked out. I hear you. When you get to run a fake punt. What does that feel like? Because when we run trick plays on in like the red zone, it's like one of the things that we're looking forward to. We're going to run this play. Who the hell knows it's about to happen. But it makes you kind of feel like a kid. What's it feel like to go out there? You know, you're working on all week, fake pun, even like more rare. It's like, how many, like one a galled a year, maybe. If that, and you've had some iconic.

That magafy baby, we're talking about at least two, three times. I know you have the catastrophic one with my man. Come on now. All right. My man, Colt Anderson. But what is it like to have a fake punt, Colt? Colt got sacked there pretty quick. Yeah. It did not go well for cold.

That was not how that was supposed to be. As you guys know, like every week, there's some fake like field goal or fake punt. That is like a guarantee always have them up like every day and then like if the situation calls for it, you know, we'll do it. But what I found is like if the team's good normally not going to be running a lot of fake punts

like early in my career, I was explained to I had an idea for a throw an idea for throw I could spin it I Let me you know, let me get out there and I was told quickly so you want us to take Peyton Manning off you want us to take Peyton Manning off the field. This is so good. It's for real though. Just to trick him. Just to trick him. Trust me, I got this. They're not going to see it coming. Okay, so. Give it right back to Peyton.

We're going to take him off the field so you can throw one. It is all in like the situations of it all and I was certainly very understanding of that. But yeah, I was real excited, man. Anytime I got an opportunity to do something to help the team, like any of those fakes or onside kicks that we got, I got the turnover, you know, that's another possession. That's a big deal. Oh, yeah.

Stole a possession. Huge. So it's like if you feel like you contribute more, obviously, you're a little bit more proud of it. But those ones that don't work out, boy. Like if you feel like you contribute more, obviously, you're a little bit more proud of it. But those ones that don't work out boy, I have a question for you guys run so much trick shit. You guys get excited for that still?

Oh, yeah. I got pumped for I was supposed to have one actually on the Monday night game and they brought a nickel blitz off the edge and completely fucked it up. It almost ended up being a turnover. And when I say we completely fucked it up, I completely fucked it up because I didn't block him off the edge and completely fucked it up. It almost ended up being a turnover. Um, and when I say we completely fucked it up, I completely fucked it up cause I didn't block them off the edge. Sometimes, you know, it's just the trick plays can just get sniffed out by a blitz or you know,

when they don't work, they, it makes you feel like an idiot for even trying it. But, um, typically Andy Reed's trick plays are, uh, are pretty on cue. And I've actually been a part of a trick play on a field goal twice in my career, once in a Pro Bowl and once against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and both successful. Damn. Was it like a tight end run or a pass?

My guy Dustin Colquitt, he was the holder for, I think, it was Cairo Santos at the time. Put it down and then flicked it to me. It was kind of like a little shovel pass underneath. And I was out the gate the other side. I was a wing completion for Colquitt. That's a big deal. Let's make sure we pick up those extra yards. I should have picked up my fucking feet and scored, but I at least got the first down.

Do you guys draw those up? What was it? Mike up or something where you Andy Reed said he likes you guys to draw up the place and then you guys practice them and do the whole thing is that yeah, we still do that. We'll do we'll do some fun stuff on like Thursday practices during the specialist period. We'll meet Pat and a bunch of the minds will go over there and just go over there and just start, you know, screwing around with some stuff. See what works

see what doesn't. When we take it to Coach Reed, that's he's got 51% as he always likes to tell everybody. So it's like, he'll decide whether or not a version of that comes into the to the game plan. You guys got a pitch, you got to pitch the shit out of it. It's a good idea. We got it. We got one here.

Yeah, it's definitely. Yeah, it's definitely how good an energy you bring to him for sure. I pitched a few fake field goals and punts and I knew that my presentation was a big part of whether or not we're gonna get this through. Yeah, some go some do not. Those things cutting room floor. Those things are gone. Jason Philly Philly bananas. That's like one of the most I mean, what historic fakes are true. Sure. Yeah. It's nobody really knows to this day

was it Philly Philly or Philly special. And I can't even remember. Like, all I know is that Nick asked for Philly Philly. It's known as Philly special, but he's just going to go up lane lane was my cue to snap it. And that was the easiest job in the world for me. I'm just running naked. I was like, man, call this as much as you want. Doug. This is the easiest play in the world. It's gonna be historic play. And I don't have to take any hits

to the head. We is going to be historic play and I don't have to take any hits to the head. Yeah, I'm just going to let it go. We're winning the Super Bowl. It's easy. We tried to take that after you guys ran it. And of course, it's me throwing the ball to Pat. And sure enough, there's a fucking quarterback over there. And I'm like trying to play monkey in the middle with this fucking guy. I could have just walked in the end zone.

It's just Tampa Bay the next day. And here I am trying to like, but I want the fucking touchdown pass. Fuck. And threw it out of bounds like, but I want the fucking touchdown pass. And threw it out of bounds like an asshole. That's smart play. Yeah, football. I was special teamers at one point. How do we should admit that? Jason, this is why it's so fucked up, because Jason was the kicker.

And we're both we're both still friendly fire, friendly, you know, I'm jealous. I'm jealous that I sucked at it. So I was the worst long snapper on the planet. I mean, I was a bad quarterback snapper short snapper, but I like how humble you are. You're like the greatest center of all time. How about cold commit? You see cold commit?

No, I did not. What's Cole out here doing? So long got hurt. Long. So he was doing it. Yeah. Yeah. Chicago.

Comet scores touchdown that has to go snap the extra point because he's the backup Long Snapper. Dude, how about pandemonium on the sideline when the Long Snapper gets hurt? Oh, Brent Selig was our backup snapper and he and he right away just complete fear. Like we have not practiced this enough at all. He goes out there. It's always the tight end. It's always the tight end. He goes out there. First one, perfect snap. Second one, rolled back, complete disaster. I remember this game. It was like cold and rainy and shit, though. It wasn't a great weather day. You remember this?

Travis, I am on the backup snapper. Me and Noah Gray. Whatever you need, me and Noah Gray. Noah Gray is our other tight end. And he's definitely, he actually did it in the preseason our long snapper got banged up. James Winchester, shout out to Winchester. But yeah, he definitely, he's capable of it too. Both field goal and pun. I think personally, I think the field goal, it's shorter,

but it's kind of harder because you got to do it at a, it's, you got to do a low a it's you got to do a low. It's almost like you got to just burn one right over the like grass like right over the edge of the grass. Whereas punt punt you can just you can just fire that thing back there and hopefully the punters athletic and all. I have one snap in a preseason game to Dustin Colquitt on punt and I yanked that thing to the right about six or seven yards and he went and grabbed it, came back to the left foot and booted it and

yeah he snagged it. Yeah Jason, athletic! Yeah, jeez, well wheeze! Never end. Shout out to Dusty for making me look good. Now that I've faced enough shit for this. Well, no, I haven't. Keep coming. But I do want to get to the media career, Pat, because listen, you are an unbelievable punter. Absolutely outstanding. I never thought something would be more impressive of a guy going into media.

But what you're doing, man, and what you have been doing is just insane. You're by far the most talented guy I've ever seen. It's not even close. You're by far the most talented guy I've ever seen. He's been the is not even close over the place. Dude, it's and you've done it your own way, which is even more remarkable. Did you know that this was something that you were going to get into? Like your whole career? When did you know you were going into media? And how did that? I appreciate you saying that because literally, since you

guys have tried it, you guys have had massive success. So for you to say all those things that you said about me, I could just go ahead and, you know, flip that right back to YouTube. Absolutely crushing it. Congrats on that nine figure deal. Thank you for paving the way. Okay. So like, I think that's the thing. Like I have a great group of dudes around me though. Like the dudes I have around me are so incredibly talented. And we all kind of understand, you know, what is needed to be done

each day. Like we're in here, full time, we try to keep up with everything that's happening in the sports world. We have to you know, kind of know what's worthy of chatting about, what should be talked about. Also what's not being talked about that should be talked about. And when we talk about it, let's not take the easy way out and be negative. Like, let's do this in a way where maybe we could celebrate sports a little bit. That's kind of been since the beginning, how we viewed it for sure.

Hell, yeah. The guys I have around me are incredibly talented. The work ethic is insane. But also it's cool that like people seemingly have been pretty like accepting of like, hey, we're allowed to laugh and crack jokes as opposed to having to tear people down all the time in the sports world. Yeah, we'll talk shit certainly. And we are dumb and we will get things wrong for sure.

And I am wide open for three hours every single day. But you'll have fun with it, like you did with Lombardi and Max Crosby last week. Bingo, so we get into some shit. Like, because we are just kind of out here having a conversation, trying to have a good time. But we all have the same mindset. We're all very appreciative of what we are doing.

And we're all fans of sports, you know? So like the more people that get into sports we're happy about. And we want to make sports like a good time. Like people think of sports like hey, it's a good time because there's a lot of shit that's driving everybody like this. For sure. It's like sports do this and they really do. And it's like that's what we try to celebrate as much as possible.

But we mess it up. But it's the group of dudes I have around me, man. It's a lot of fun. It is a lot of fun every day. Yeah, you got for sure. How did it all like what was the first conversation of like, hey, we're gonna start this show. Okay, so when I was playing, I got a chance to do the Bob and Tom show, which you guys in Cleveland might know who the Bob and Tom show is. So

Bob and Tom, maybe not. Okay. Shout out to Bob and Tom. Yes. They're a morning show. They were syndicated on like 170 channels across the country radio 6 people. Good people. They're great. They're an Indianapolis staple. They're a morning show. They were syndicated on like 170 channels across the country. Radio 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. They had they owned it too. So like the business they've had. So they did good business in this entire thing. They were in Indianapolis. It was a comedy morning show. Basically every comedian you've ever heard of has been through their during their tour because Indianapolis is pretty centrally located. So from six to 10, they're like nationally syndicated everywhere. And then from 10 to 1030, it's just like a local hour here in Indianapolis, they negotiated some deal. And

it was like a Colts Tuesday, which was our off days. Jeff Saturday was the guy that did that for like 10 years with them. Jeff Saturday leaves go to Green Bay. They asked Jeff Saturday like, Hey, who should take your spot in here? You know, and Jeff Saturday says like, you got to get the punter. The punter is the guy to do this or whatever. There we go. Shout out to Jeff. So then a couple of the other media people also told him that you should get the pat or whatever. And I think they even said my name wrong at the time. So when Bob and Tom, so when Bob and Tom approached me, and my

dad was truck driver growing up. So obviously, he was on the road a lot with radio. So Bob and Tom, he knew about Bob and Tom. So I knew about whenever I was a kid, growing up, so obviously he was on the road a lot with radio. So Bob and Tom, he knew about Bob and Tom. So I knew about Bob and Tom whenever I was a kid growing up. So when Bob and Tom approached me to join the show, I was like, I'm not gonna be the one that ruins this fucking show. You know, it's been around like 30 years. I don't think I'm the right guy for your show.

Like my, the shit that I am is just not, I don't think is the right for your show. And Tom Griswold from Bob and Tom said, you would be the dumbest guy on earth if you did not come on our show or whatever. And I was like, okay, I'll come do show. So I get in there first week, first 30 minutes. I've never felt like more comfortable. Like I was just they were talking about news. They were

talking about sports. And it was like they had three comedians in there. Bob Kavoyans, like one of the quickest smartasses on earth. He's there. And it was just like, I almost felt like alive in there for like 30 minutes or whatever. And then the next week when they're live from six to 10 on the national audience, Tom Grizzle was like, hey, next week, anytime you want to come in, come in. So I went in there 6 a.m.

I was like, I'm coming in here 6 a.m. So I did like four hours with him in the morning. And it was like, I fell in love with it. Like I really enjoyed the energy, the vibe, the way they set up the show, the structure of the show. And it was at that moment where I was like, this could be this could be something I kind of get into, you know, then one while I'm still punting, I had a stand up tour I did around the Midwest.

I did some other shows here in Indianapolis, I had a podcast, I had a merch store while I was playing. So it was like, I was kind of doing the next step while I was still punting. And I was finding like, fulfillment in all this stuff away from punting after the offense failed. You know what I mean? Yeah, like I was having a good time with the charity stuff I was doing. I was having a good time with the comedy stuff. I was having a good time with the show. And it was like, I need to fully focus

on one of these, because there's only 32 jobs in the NFL, you got to have respect for that. But then also, this is so much more fun. And I taking care of everybody financially that I thought I had to take care of with my NFL money. And I was like, all right, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna try to chase fulfillment here. And then it's become all this. And it's so stupid.

I'm so lucky, so thankful, and I have a blast. I'm literally just trying to enjoy it all. It's such a genuine way to get into your next career though. Like you, and I can't stress this enough for the guys in the NFL that are looking for something outside of football. You have to do it while you're still playing. Use stress this enough for the guys in the NFL that are looking for something outside of football. You have to do it while you're still playing. Use those off seasons and the little connections that you make throughout your career to be

able to set yourself up. And it's so cool that you're, you started doing that, you found it and then you just fucking took off. Come on. You fucking took off. Did it, did it actually make it easier for you to kind of hang it up or like you you could probably have played as long as you wanted to write I mean, yeah, Package will be out there kicking balls.

You are. I played that soccer tournament last summer. Yeah. I read my hip flexor. So I don't think I can still see it. Jason, I don't think you're fucking balling though. When I retired, you were bought. No, I'm saying you were balling on that in the seven. And what was it? Seven on seven? What was

that league? Yes, you know, okay, you saw it. You saw this. I saw the crosses. I saw Yes, fucking electric. You carry North Carolina for like four weeks. We were down there. I did not know what I was signing up for. And then our team got like good. Our team started like bonding. Our team started having chains. I was like, I fell in love with it. But then yeah, just ripped my shit. I mean, I had a pool of blood in my thigh for like three months. That's why I felt old. You know, that's when I felt real, real old. But yeah, definitely. I think, you know, whenever guys retire and you know the stats, obviously you guys both,

about the 80% fall into bankruptcy after five years of professional athletes and everything like that. And I always wondered why, like when the NFL PA would come in, they always talk to us about like saving money and yada, yada, yada. And I actually asked a couple of times like, how come there's no ideas like for everybody

to make more money when they retire? Like, why can't we hear more like, hey, your story matters money? Like, hey, speaking is maybe something you should get into. Tell your story. Everybody who makes the NFL has a story. Everybody. Everybody. Like, no matter what story is, that success story can pivot you into a new profession later. I was wondering why that was never talked about. So I think like fully focusing to this, and I retired very early and everybody said, and a lot of the people said dumb. People said I was an idiot when I retired 6 million bucks on the table all that yada yada yada. So there

was also like didn't make it easier to hang it up after hearing that. Maybe not. But also made me get to a mental point that was like, I'm fucking making it. I'm gonna prove all these motherfuckers wrong. Yeah. Backs against the wall boys. Yeah. These people are not gonna be right. Yeah. That is not gonna happen. Yeah, these people are not going to be right. Yeah, that is not going to happen in their driver. Yeah, I think having a focus having something to focus on enjoying what you're doing and

still having like the locker room because I got the boys here, you know, yeah, it is it certainly helped a lot. It's certainly a lot of love it man. You've talked about your boys all and one of the things that has been so fucking awesome about the way you've done it is you have not changed who you are how you do it. I still remember seeing you down in the Pro Bowl. What was that? Arizona maybe? Or maybe it's like, yeah, you're the exact same fucking guy. No matter when you are, whether you're on TV off, like wherever you're at, you are Pat McAfee and

you've brought all your boys with you. You've done it your own way. You've created your own path. He's a real one. The way your brain works is fucking I don't even understand it to be honest with you, man. It's like always just the neurons. The only thing that works better than your leg is a punter is those neurons you got up there. They're freaking clicking at all times, brother. It's impressive. Thanks. I appreciate that. To see where it's gotten you now. ESPN college game day. I don't know, man. is this did you envision getting to this? Are you happy with where it's at right now? Always a college game day like kind of like were you always

excited on a college game day? I mean you had a pretty good college experience over there at West Virginia. No, was it always not here? We had good times in Morgantown. We got to talk a little bit about that. We know some guys, we know some real dogs that were over there in West V, man. That was my first alcoholic drink was in Morgantown at a seven on seven tournament.

I think that's a lot of people's stories. I think that's a lot of people's stories. We went down to the gas station and got Mad Dog 2020 orange Jubilee. Yeah, it is. Oh, baby. Those Mad Dog 2020s used to be a real problem because the color, I think everybody thought they were softer.

They were not. No, they were not. They were not. No, they were throwing a hundo. They were. And when you talk about college game day, I think just like everybody else in the NFL, like we watch college game day every Saturday to keep up with,

it's in every NFL building, you know, and I think in college, we watch it every single Saturday. So I think I've always been a college game day fan, you know, come from Pittsburgh though, which is an NFL town, which is, you know, interesting. So whenever college game day becomes an opportunity, it was never a show. Like I thought to myself, like I could be on, but then whenever you're presented with opportunity beyond like one

of the top two institutions in the history of sports media, and it's football and it's wrestling, you know, in front of a live audience. Yes. So and obviously, I am so incredibly lucky to have a relationship with the WWE to growing up how big of a fan I was of wrestling and WWF. Yes, everything is. So it's like football and wrestling. And it's one of the greatest shows in the history of shows in your like there's only so many spots. So massive honor to even be asked to do this. It's like, all right,

I'm going in, I'm gonna go in. And I've been baptized by college football. You know, this entire thing. It is electric, bro. I know you're from Cleveland, Pittsburgh, these college towns, especially down there in the south. I mean, out in Oregon, bananas, Berkeley, crazy. These people in the South are praying to the, it's God, it's Jesus Christ. And it is, that it is the team.

You know, it's like, it's crazy, it's been an honor, dude. It has been so much fun. So I try to have a blast everywhere I go because how committed, and like, that is a part of college ball, like all the pageantry and the tradition and loyalty. So I'm lucky to do that, man. I really am. And to say, did I know it was going to go like this? No, bro. I had no idea. I had no clue. I was hoping just to be able to survive and pay my guys and like, we just have

fun, go to work together, do our thing. Then like things just kind of happen. I remember the day you went door to door. Come on bro. Handed out some envelopes man. You kidding me? That's a real one right there man. The backpacks to the boys. Yeah the backpacks my bad.

Yeah those still happen. They do it in a different way that's much easier to tax. You know because I guess backpacks of a hundred thousand bucks is not the easiest way to. That's tracking. And then to broadcast it too. So everybody up there, let's make sure. We saw a backpack. Was there actually cash in that?

No, no, who was there? Anything in there? How much did he say? He said how much? It was a bit. There was nothing in there. Yeah, there's fake money. A fake money.

What's the better atmosphere? College football or NFL? And I guess it's different depending on which college and which NFL, but in general you've been a part of both I know Kansas City seems pretty insane that seems crazy right I mean that's crazy baby rockin they got chance and shit too right that they do throughout the entire game oh yeah and home and when you're in an away place and you hear that you guys got to get pumped about oh fuck Yeah, we're here. We're here that hope the end

I just know the away team or the home team hates that shit That is one thing I'm jealous of soccer stadiums is those those old-school chances call and react chance. Yes I don't have every college has Those are electric. All right, so that can that keeps the stadiums like Throughout like, you know, there's a dead period NFL games Maybe yeah, it's like the college ones There's no dead period because there's like give-and-take calls back and forth like when I do all that shit on game day It's like that's what they're doing in the stadium and I you know, I'm very lucky to learn that

I saw like it was so fucking electric out in Eugene, Oregon this weekend I you had me off my couch singing with you, dog. That's everybody is in the group chat. Every group chat on my part of like, bro, Pat McAfee is the best thing to have in the college football. Everybody's saying it. Do you had everybody living and ready to fucking rock and roll for that Oregon Ohio State game, man?

Tell everybody I said thank you for the kind remarks. And the the thing about it is I'm learning that from like walking around the town the day before So I try to go like experience like their food spot like what's our food spots that they talk about cuz I'm Yeah I'm trying to tell my own story like when I go experience and go see some spots I'll go see the team facility and I'll try to ask people at all these places. I'm like, hey, what's the shit? What are we? What's the you know? What are we what are we saying out? And I'll get like an answer from

somebody and they'll be like, you say go and then they'll say Doc's. I'm like, okay, they'll go. They're like, they'll go with it. Thank God. Because there has been one time it was for the WWE. I do like commercial break. I do I kind of promo and commercial breaks in these arenas. And I try to do the same thing. I try to get the local thing. I was misled. I was I was told I was told that the crowd was going to go they did not go so the first time the first time when that crowd responds to me in the morning for game day and I hear it back I'm like thank you I was not lied to that is as good news but Eugene showed up in a big way Berkeley showed up in a big way. Berkeley showed up in a big way. Obviously Alabama. Those play.

It's I'm having a time my life man. And I'm learning so much about all these schools and everybody's cool. Yeah, you look like it and you look like dude, you you play to a crowd. Great, but it doesn't look like it's like being done in any like you just are genuinely loving to be there and it's fucking awesome to see man. It's awesome.

Well, that's like a part of it. You know, like that's a part of college ball is like the fans. Fuck. Yeah, that's the beauty that you're on site that you get. Let's take advantage of it. And you're, I mean, you maximize it, brother. It is awesome to see. What were you wearing? You were wearing a Fred Flinstone thing during picks the other night. Dude, I don't know what I'm doing. Yeah, Jason. That's awesome. That's awesome. You enjoying it? You're crushing it. I'm having fun. I'm having fun. I'm learning. I do want to like, dude, I would love to talk to you when we even got more time about how

you prepare. That's the one thing that's the craziest is I've never watched this much football. Like when you play, you watch your own team and you get really hyper focused on the players you're playing and the like what you're doing for the game Now it's like dude. I gotta watch like all this stuff like everybody's just watching all these games and it's Hard and for you you're doing all of this like it is Even more impressive. Yeah, you're you're in every fucking sport. I don't know how your mind does this dude I don't know. It's the neurons the neurons are operating on a different level, man So here's how if I see it if I see it normally it's gonna stay there All right, but I have to see it though. So like so like the night before college game day. Yeah, I'm running through

Everything I'm running through every team. I'm running through every player. I got tone digs one of my guys He writes up a full like preview of what the weekend will be like, but I have to see it, you know, so once I see it though, it's in there. It's in there. So it takes up some time. It's like for you acting Travis, what were you? Did you memorize? How'd you memorize those lines and everything?

I mean, yeah, the lines are, you just gotta, you gotta, I was fortunate enough to have an acting coach and you just keep shooting the lines over and over and over again, till you get comfortable with it. And then you'll finally find out and feel out what the scene actually is. At least that's what that's what my learning experience was for the lines and everything and acting. And then you can kind of riff.

How'd you do you crush it? Um, I think Jason Jason didn't tell me I sucked. So, so far, so good. Yeah, let's go, dude. Yeah, baby. Fun as hell. Congratulations, dude! Let's go, dude! This shit's fun as hell. Congratulations, dude.

Thank you. I mean, I don't know how often people just celebrate right in your face on your show. I apologize for that. But that's on me completely. That's awesome, though, dude. I think about some of the shit you're doing right now, and like the pictures.

You know, my wife, massive fan of your lady. So I get updates on all this shit. Here's having dinner with Wolverine and Deadpool. It's like, do you ever get do you ever like at this point, you still understand right? You still at this point, at this point, it's just it. You can't fathom what's going on. So it's just like a dream. You're just like, Oh, yeah, no, you're not surprised by like the next thing that comes in or comes in. walks into the door. Yeah, it's crazy. It's insane. I don't even I don't know how to live this silly ass fucking life man.

But I am I'm definitely fortunate for it for sure. You found it. You've heard of the man. Forget it. That's awesome, dude. We're gonna wrap up this segment with we got to ask you don't have to answer we prefer you answer but obviously this is up to you Pat. First question you we got to ask you don't have to answer. We prefer you answer, but obviously this is up to you, Pat. First question you, uh, we got to ask Nick Sirianni brings up a story about you all the time, uh, drunk and swimming in a canal. Uh, he brings it up during the off season portion where everybody's going away and he's talking about, don't get, don't be too crazy.

Uh, when you're away from the facilities, uh, could you maybe share that story with all the 92% of that? from the facilities could you maybe share that story with all the 92% of that. Well, I hope next year on a coach here on a was a honorable ad and said that that's all alleged. Haha. I was certainly found rather intoxicated.

Very early in the morning Late in October It was a cold morning and in the police report they piece together that I had probably been swimming in a canal nearby Thanks to those cops they got me off the streets that morning when I was certainly intoxicated publicly. A $140 fine for that. What some community service and I still haven't got it clear that we don't know if I was in the canal and by we I mean the police or more.

No one has proof. We move along. Yeah, I appreciate coach shirrani saying don't be that guy that guy because you should see now I felt in jail. I am not a good enough partner to be sitting. I was over. Who is who's the bigger legend in West Virginia. You are Owen Schmidt? Oh and Schmidt dude that guy could be governor anytime you wanted to be it's insane ain't it? Truck, dude, he's a you know, he's a truck driver. He's it works for UPS now Yeah, I'm face time a face time and he'll be you know at work and then he'll introduce me to a couple of the boys

I'll get a chance to chat with them I got a chance to see him a few weeks ago whenever we went to Morgantown not to do our show before West Virginia took on Penn State. You do call that game was she lost Penn State, but there's 2 hour delay. So there's a lot of delay wasn't a real game right now should even count and this entire thing but Owen was there he was one of the guests he drove up from Greenbrier area multiple hours. I did not know he had to drive that far so he held that over my head, obviously.

Because Pat White came in from Alabama. I got Pat White on a plane. Ah! How about it, baby? So I got Pat White on a plane to come out, you know, flew up to Morgan town. We're gonna make sure Pat's here. And Owen had to drive.

So he held that over my head, obviously. But as soon as Owen gets in front of that crowd, they pay their respects, man. Owen Schmidt is like the living embodiment of what a West Virginia Mountaineer should be. And I've never seen a human be able to delete beers. Do I go and show impressive? Very impressive. Was it his nickname? Was that is this true?

And this is the story I remember his nickname was runaway beer truck. Is that accurate? Yeah, it was probably the most perfect nickname ever given to anybody in the kitchen. Is that accurate? Yeah. It was probably the most perfect nickname ever given to anybody in the history. You want to talk about running right through a brick wall, man. That guy would do it all. He would break helmets, Travis. He would break face masks. On his face. And then, yeah, he was psycho. We got to talk about 2008 UC versus West Virginia. I know you remember this one. I said a story earlier about alcohol being my first, uh, my first drink ever being in Morgantown. I also had the

first beer poured on me in a football uniform in the corner of the end zone after overtime, which you freaking solidified with. How long was that kick? That was a long one that you said, Oh, I forget. I forgot that. That was like Biggie's championship type game. Yeah, it was huge. There's a lot on the line. Yeah. We wanted overtime.

It felt like you had to make a field goal at the end of regulation to send it to overtime. Hand it on sidekick. Hand it on sidekick. Hand it on sidekick. You forgot about that. You forgot about that. It's all coming back. Yeah.

Yeah. I am sorry. Remember our fans were sprinting back in. They left. They went into the hills. They went to the hills. Then they came back with cans. I don't know how they got them in the stadium.

They running in. I do remember that. Yeah, I do remember that. And we lost, well, we got a roughing the passer, I think. It was something like that late. There was a penalty, and then we, Kazima Lee caught one in the corner of the end zone. Yeah, our tight end. And I just remember beers being rained down upon us. It was yeah. Yeah. Those people were pretty intoxicated. They were maybe in a canal. They

were up and down. That Cincinnati West Virginia run was cool. When you guys had Brian Kelly's head on his head. You guys started it it right was it you guys are Louisville It felt like it was Louisville. Then you guys took it from Louisville. Then we took it for a little bit There was like a weird run there with the Big East actually had some really good teams Okay, if I recall here new Big East happened, I like year. I don't know if it was the year I got there 2005 is when I graduated high school. So when I get there, I think it was new Big East Louisville Just came to the Big East remember they were supposed to run big East. I think yeah, they're Brian brah brahm And who was the running back that they had that was a beast? I can't remember his name

Bush Bush. Yes, my dog. Yes, we're talking then Harry. I think was over there too. Like they had they had a great team We triple overtime. I think my freshman year we beat him. I think so it was like we had it Louisville took it. Yeah, and then you guys Pittsburgh was pretty good in there, too They had old fits it fits Ian and Lashon McCoy. They were never the front team though. They were good I don't know. I might have just been a shady fan. I don't know shady. Oh, they did win one year I think you're right when shady was there they might have won one year, too This is no they lost they lost at the end of it. Talk about ball security.

Yeah, but show up in your stadium. Like this and shake the shit out of every human in there. So crazy. It was awesome to watch. Big East was a real deal. It was it was a fun. It was a fun conference there. Shout out to the Big East. All right. Peace. Peace. Peace. Yukon even didn't suck. No, Yukon.

They sucked. Yukon. No. They used to throw that grass out. They were making some runs. They were good at basketball. They were holding down basketball. They're holding it down. They beat us. I can't talk. Yeah.

We're about third way through the NFL season. Who's your early Super Bowl pick, Pat? Chiefs are still the Chiefs, brother. All right. The Chiefs are still the Chiefs, brother. All right. There we go. Now, and that is that is not just because he's sitting here and I'm such a massive fan. I'm just a believer in like greatness.

I legitimately am. I believe that there is like levels to this shit. And for 20 some years, we saw the New England Patriots for what reason? Well, I just were worried. Well, I haven't fact that they just the rest. The air and the air in the ball.

In the air is in the ball now is against the Colts. We could we're typing coaches. Yes, by all this shit gets thrown at one thing and that's greatness. That's what it comes down to. That is so I think when push comes to shove I think I think these dudes figured out like I just have a firm believer last year, you know, there was a little time and I don't want to bring up bad bad times in the Kenzie Chiefs.

But the boys seemingly stunk for a bit. There was a few weeks. It was it was it was a rough. It was a rough road. It got a little year. It's the only year I ever beat the Chiefs and Andre. That was the only time we ever got it done. And you still won the Super Bowl.

That's what I'm saying. There was a time everybody ever got it done. And you still won the Super Bowl. That's what I'm saying. There was a time everybody thought they were done. They're not even making the playoffs. It's over. Hey, everybody but me. Okay. I was standing on wavering. I was standing on this microphone and I

said the Chiefs is still the Chiefs. I don't know what everybody's talking about. Pat had a flu one day. It was windy. The other day I just saw I just believed and I just think that that's the case. And then I watched that quarterback show or whatever the hell it is. Oh, yeah. Netflix. Yeah. And I realized the patch problems like one of the coolest dudes of all

fucking time. Not only they don't make him any better, man. They don't make him any better. Good house and beers talking shit working his dick off fighting through injury and then making every play. they don't make that there's you know, I mean, that that doesn't that doesn't. Yeah, so I believe in the Chiefs personally. That's what I that's why I believe in chiefs. I love it. Even with even with the team like the Jets getting a guy like Devante Adams today. Big deal.

Five. He popped his head in. If you saw Devante popped his head into our conversation with Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, I did head in. I don't know if you saw it. Devontae popped his head into our conversation with Aaron Rogers. Yeah, I did not know. I did not. He came in with a football in hand turns it spins the ball. Hello Devontae. Long time no see. They are they seem to be ready to go. I mean they just they just lost it a bill is less than like 14 hours before that and

Jets fans are pumped. They should be very very excited about future. And I can see why. Vontae's a dog. He is a dog. Vontae, Garrett Wilson, they got some in the, the offense looked a lot better, especially in the first half, last, this past week, so, or yesterday.

They're running it, Jason. Either way. I know. How about that? Let's hand the ball off. Get this guy, Breece Hall, involved. Who's that? Breece Hall? Pretty good.

He's pretty good. Also, let's do more tush pushes. Let's get these centers. Let's that? Pretty good. Pretty good. Also, let's do more push pushes. Let's get these centers. Let's compile some more vertebrae. Did you bitch about it on this show a lot? Or no, I don't know if I saw it about your body just getting demolished. Just getting absolutely just full. Like you said, like an accordion, he's just getting folded every single fucking time. It's hilarious. I laugh at it at this point. I never used to think that we were hyping it up to we were so loud like touch push

Keep doing it. We just keep doing it and Jason has to be supportive. Yeah, he has Talked to much shit and Lane Johnson Lane Johnson. Let the cat out of the bag He used to say that every time he would get called in the huddle. I just make fuck my life He used to say that every time he would get called in the huddle, I'd just be like, fuck my life. That's awesome. But you literally publicly had to support it because it was working and it was like your thing. It was like, and listen, I hated it, but let's let's you know what, if it gets the first

down keeps the strap converts. It's I mean, it's a free you're avoiding a turnover. It's insane. Yeah, great. That's I mean, it's a free. You're avoiding a turnover. It's insane. Yeah, great. Yes. compressed vertebrae for that. Bring it on. Pat, who's your who's your too early MVP right now? Oh, okay. So do you believe that somebody other than a quarterback to win the MVP?

I think it's gonna take a a lot man. Hard. Yeah. Depends who it's going to take. Like something like like what this Boise State kid is doing. I run it back. Holy shit. It's going to take something like that to like take the attention away from a quarterback getting I think he's ahead of Barry Sanders and Barry Sanders had like 2600

rush hours. He's ahead of schedule. Yeah, he's games in. He's already got 1200 and like 17 touchdowns. The shit's ridiculous. And to be clear Genti, we think it's incredibly admirable and cool that you're still a Boise State because he led the country in yards.

I think last year too. I assume there was big offers. Yeah, had to bring him to go about and I yell and I yell money. Oh, yeah, I assume there's big offers to get him out of Boise State. He's still in Boise running on that Smurf turf. I yell money. Oh, yeah. I assume there's big offers to get him out of Boise State. He's still in Boise running on that Smurf turf. I respect something. I he blends

in that blue turf man. He never stops running either. He's very impressive. But if we stick in a running back to potentially win an award that normally goes to quarterback like Derek Henry right now. Oh, yeah. Scoring touchdowns just like nonstop. Just when they just when they think just because the Titans got rid of him. Everyone's like, oh, he's not the same player. Fuck it, just running. Just running 22 miles, 21 miles an hour,

22 miles per hour, getting tickets in a school zone. You kidding me? He's this tall. He's unbelievable, man. I'll admit, I'm an idiot. When they made that pick, I'm like, dude, he's a shock, they're gonna put him in shock,

and how's this gonna work with him, R? And I was like, oh yeah, no. He's just bigger and faster and stronger than everybody. Let's just get those guys on a tape Let's just let that guy go north and south And that's hardball football too He will and then they got Ricard as a fullback too. It's like he's 280 or whatever former D end It's like I don't understand how they're allowed to do that trade. Yeah, that was that seems to be unfair. Well, good job Harbaugh. I hope he wins.

I would I would be very much as obviously offensive lineman, but King Henry. I don't mean that guy's just he's just a dog. He is. Let's get an offensive lineman award. Yeah, we that's like against the religion of O-line to get an award. But it's like it's got to be like a group award. They got the hard, tough offensive line. Fucking Penne Sewell's fun to watch now. See how they get hook and lateral almost had a touchdown angle called back.

Did he balance himself? Yeah. How is he three? What he's got to be at least 350. He's up there. He's a big man. Big man. Hey, my elbow would explode. Trav. Why is everybody so big, strong and fast these days? I don't know, man. I don't get it. I don't get it. Where do they find these people at? How tall are you? Six, five, six, four and seven, eight. If you ask the fucking

combine, they fucking cut a quarter of a fucking like, can you just give me the cool? Just give me each of an inch. Just can I get that eight and be six, five or no, I gotta be six, four and seven. They push you down to They got it twice. They're like, yeah, it's six five. So it seems to seems too tall for you I think you need we need to do this again I just talked about these people being too big and too fast and too athletic and I'm talking to a dipshit here at six Foot five moving around like Like fifty, you know what I mean? I mean Travis, you're a freak show brother
