I don't know. Brandon knows more. Anyways, yeah, we got another fantastic episode coming up for all you 90%ers. We're going to talk about some big free agency moves that went down since the last recording, as well as the latest Eagles in Chiefs signing news.

And potentially the greatest day in offensive lineman's history, or at least the last 10 years, Aaron Donald is surprisingly retired from the NFL. And yeah, we're going to get to a special episode on the back half of this. We're going to get to a special episode on the back half of this. Speaking of offensive line with Jordan Milana and Mr. Lane Stonewall Johnson. That's right. Right. Right. Yeah. I talk about Johnson, that's right. Yeah, right now. Yeah, I talk about the toughest guys to block,

why Lane's always false starting, even though it's not really a false start, he's just jumping the snap, but we'll get into that in a little bit. He's getting a good jump in, yeah, all right. Yeah, and some thoughts on the new Eagles coaches in that section. So, before we get to that portion,

let's get to a little bit of that new news. New news, New news! Coming in hot in Cincinnati. Live show is in action! Ladies and gentlemen, coming to the Natty! We're excited to officially announce we're doing a live show at the University of Cincinnati on April 11th during Alumni Weekend.

Thursday. We're gonna be back hanging out with the football team. And yeah, it's gonna be a fun time. The old historic Nippert Stadium. Might have to bring a coat for this one. Maybe even an umbrella, but we don't give a fuh, rat's ass. Don't give a fudge, yep. Maybe better?

I don't know, that might have been better. If you haven't been to Nippert Stadium, it is a hidden gem in the world of college football. It is such a beautiful goal. Travis and I spent our entire careers practicing and playing games pretty much on that turf and in that stadium. Good sweat and tears, boys.

So when we're thinking about maybe doing a stadium trip, we didn't think there'd be any place better than the Nippert Stadium in Cincinnati. Under the lights, baby. Get back down to the college campus, the college students, the college, the college students, our teammates, faculty, even though it's changed a lot. It has changed a lot.

Anyways, OK. What's your favorite non game memory from Nibbric Stadium? Yeah, I got I got a golden one. My story is my story is Butch Jones shot at Butch. Coach Butch Jones, Coach Jones decided to do a five a.m. workout team workout. Team workout, everybody has got to get to the stadium. And we ended up doing, I think it was like a relay race of stadium steps.

Oh my gosh, yes. Be shawty. And the anchor for the relay race are two, it's offensive line versus defensive line, two of the most athletic guys on the team and that's Jason Kelsey for the whole line and Brandon B. Schade of Mills, man. Just to give somebody some context.

Two big, high effort guys, guys are fucking fine and you know what, we're competitive. We're competitive people, right? No doubt. Cincinnati's stadium are really steep steps. And then as it gets to there's like a point halfway through where it gets to longer steps, like a longer, yeah, so it goes straight down and then kind of evens out almost and kind of like flattens out. And then it lets like straight onto the field. So there's not like a

lip. It's like you're like directly on the field. So guys would go up come down Next guy would go up come down the offense and then Jason and and B Mills are like neck in neck Yeah, basically Brandon B Mills were coming down. We're coming down real hot Got caught coming real hot coming down the steep part. So when it flattened out Kind of like stumbled a little bit. You got to be ready. You got to get your balance ready and Immediately started tumbling and when I tell you like the the metal benches you could hear He just started tumbling down this thing and almost still almost like

He almost beat you now. He lost but he somehow Got back onto his feet and when I tell you is the one of the most electric things I've ever seen Somebody be able to do just turn into a fucking barrel roll down stadium steps I'm sure that story wasn't as funny to you guys, but it was damn funny. Yeah, you got to picture it in your head. Picture a 300 pound defensive tackle. I mean, B shot, it definitely wasn't 300 pounds, but let's just say picture 300 pound defensive tackle. It's like falling down a set of bleachers, like tumbling. It was the last time they had a race down the... You never did it again.

Never did it again. Okay, you can't do that one. Well, that's a liability concern. Yeah, so anybody running those stadium steps, make sure you're ready for when it goes steep to flat. You gotta be ready for that. It'll catch off guard. So those stadium steps suck

because they're so steep at the top. So you would think you were cruising through them at the beginning. And then as you went up, they would get harder and harder and harder. And then when you went down, like Travis said, you had to really know the steps would get like narrower to wider to like, it was kind of tricky. My freshman year before Travis there, Dave Andrews and that strength crew used to do Friday morning workouts.

And if anybody was late for the Friday morning workout, if you were inside, everybody was doing up downs until that person got there. And if you were outside, where you met on the stadium, sometimes we just meet straight out on the field, you would have to do stadium steps. And the whole team would be doing it until somebody went to the dorm and got the person who was late and brought him there. And one day I woke up and I looked at my clock and I was like, oh no, I'm that guy. In my street clothes and running to the stadium, which in Cincinnati, the stadium is in the middle of campus and I'm running to try and get there and I just see them in the middle of stadium steps

and I just start doing stadium steps right out of bed. They all take them into the weight room to actually do the workout at that point. And I had to do like just lap upon lap of stadium steps for like over an hour. It was miserable. At the end of it, you're like not even, you're just like walking up steps, right? It's like, oh dude, so miserable. It's the best shit ever.

Good stadium step memories right there. Hey, if you guys want a good workout though, those stadium steps do get you good workout. All right, let's back to the show. We're putting the live show on. That's great. Before the show, we are gonna actually be hosting a special event, the Great Lumbaby Games. That's right. In honor of the Golden Baby Trophy, the Vince Lumbaby,

we are going to have a little competition. And we figured one of the beautiful things about doing this on a college campus is that it's just going to be, you want the college atmosphere. You want the students involved, the student athletes involved. So we are going to have two teams of UC students. I'm not gonna lie, I got this idea from Revenge of the Nerds, football team versus the nerds,

not saying the non-athletic guys are nerds, unless you like to be called a nerd and you value that, bad as then you're a nerd. No, I'm a nerd at heart. I'm a nerd at heart. I'm definitely a nerd. So yeah, we're gonna have two teams.

UC students, the athletic team, which is gonna be comprised of UC student athletes, and the academic team. Ooh. Still think we should call that team nerds. That will compete in a series of challenges. I can't do it. We cannot wait to unveil these fun games

that we have planned. Yeah, it's gonna be ridiculous. It's gonna be so fucking fun. There's gonna be all sorts of things involved. Skyline Chili might be a cannon. I heard today. Don't you do it. Tickets officially go on sale today, March 20th at 12 p.m. Eastern.

So it's dumb ass questions It's well, it is the smart questions because there's no dumb questions questions because there's no dumb questions. All right. It's a time to move on to no dumb questions. That's right, everyone, because there's no such thing as dumb questions, just dumb individuals. No dumb question is brought to you by Buffalo Wild Wings. Let's go sports bar from at Brit SLO, Brit slow on Twitter slash X. Is's ever gonna be I'm not I'm on Twitter if

You had to swap your legs with the legs of any other animal which animal would you choose? All right, this is a dumbass question Definitely not doing them knock-kneed ass ostriches Fucking going backwards and stuff. Why's that kind of knee? Yeah, we going for power or are we going for length? Are we going for speed? That motherfuckers are fast though. So you want fast. Are we only doing two legs?

Two legged animals? Yeah, so I guess- Four legged animals? If we swap with a four legged animal. Do we lose our arms? These are great questions. Let's say for the sake of this question, we're just swapping our two legs with two-ish similar legs of a four-legged creature if you choose a four-legged creature, meaning we still have arms.

Let's not compromise our opposable tops. What the fuck did you just say? If we go with a four-legged animal, we really still only have two legs, but they're kind of in the mold of the four legs. Who are you going with, dude? I don't know. I don't know if I want power, if I want length, if I want speed, if I want strength. Like I said, definitely not ostrich.

I mean, you know, you can't go with like something like a, like a, like a dachshund than little short stumpy things. No, you can't. Definitely not a dachshund than little short stumpy things. No, you can't definitely not a dachshund. The wiener dog can't, no, no way. Yeah, or do we want to say you get the number of legs? Cause then if you're a spider, you get eight of them. That's an insect, that's not an animal. Insects are animals, Travis.

Part of the animal kingdom. It's got its own like section. God damn it, Jason. Is that true or am I wrong? Animals, insects, maybe you're right. Damn it Jason. Is that true or am I wrong? animals insects Maybe you're right. I feel like this these questions just find how dumb we really are Well, you just saw a rhino. Rhinos got some powerful legs. Dude. You saw that in person. Yeah, that's four legs You felt that girth in them in them legs. Listen, I saw how bouncy that thing was

It was bouncy dude that thing was like so like the the Rhino in Donkey Kong when you could like jump around like it in Donkey Kong country That was like a legitimate Representation of a rhino. I swear. Yes, it's amazing All right So you got tall ones like if you wanted to be tall you go like giraffe, right? I mean you'd be a pretty good basketball player some giraffe legs one by Yama He has giraffe tendencies if his neck was a little bit longer. You can't tell me that dude wasn't made in a fucking lab over there in France.

Is he from France? Yep. It says pituitary thing probably. 100%. Yeah, so you got lion. Lab-grown diamonds. That's lab-grown fucking NBA player. Listen, it's not far off.

Let's be honest. Can't wait till I fucking make one. Don't do this. Do not give any of these other conspiracy theorists anything else to latch onto please. So you want speed, you got cheetah. Right? Jason, who are you going with? I'm trying to like talk this out to see like where I'm going. I don't know yet. Just got to ask a question.

You're not offering anything. You're right. You've said no animals. Because I still don't know if we're going to be able to to see where I'm going. I don't know yet. Just gotta ask a question. You're not offering anything. You've said no animals. Because I still don't know if we're counting four legged animals in this. We're counting all legged animals.

You can go millipede. How about that? All right. But if I lose my hands, I don't wanna fucking do it. You still have hands. So if I switch with a four legged animal now, I just look like one of the mythological creatures like the man on top of a horse.

If you have four legs, no. If you have four legs. Man on top of the horse. If you pick a four legged animal you're only taking the hind legs. Your front legs are still hips. Okay, so only hind legs. But if you pick more than a four legged animal like an eight legged animal or a centipede then you have to give up your hands.

Don't worry, it makes sense. You Go get kangaroo jumping out the gym. Yeah, but you need a tail. I'm telling you, I saw that thing live the other day. You need a tail. So if you don't get the tail with it, it's fucking pointless. Has there ever been a tailless kangaroo? No. No? Yeah? Nope. One that was never got like chopped off or something?

Maybe. They do balance on that thing. Dude, they do a lot with that thing. I guess if I'm picking any animal's legs in this scenario, I'm gonna go on elephant. Elephant legs? It's got height, it's got power. They're pretty fast. What other animals got better legs than elephant?

Not gonna lie, I might go ostrich, dude. Those things are fast, man. The knees go backwards, Travis. You're just asking for something bad to happen. No, no, it just means. Take some bird legs? You're gonna come at this thing with some bird legs? Dude, not just some bird legs,

one of the fastest fucking birds you've ever seen in your life. It's fast because it's light, though. You're not light. Those legs will crumple under the weight of Travis Kelsey. Fuck. Yeah, you're right. That knee direction only makes sense

on something that's got minimal mass up top. Feathers? How much does an ostrich weigh? We gotta digress here. We're getting too dumb. We're going too dumb? We're going too dumb with it? Yeah, we're going too far dumb.

I mean, yeah, I guess you're in the range, 140 to 320 pounds is a male ostrich. And if you took out your legs, you're probably in that range. Yeah. Well, you're in the range 140 320 pounds is a male ostrich And if you took out your legs, you're probably in that near that range Yeah, we're in the range already, but you're on the lower end of that range If you take away your lower half mass and put some little ass ostrich legs on you Give me the man on top of the horse. No, we just said that you don't get to have Minotaurs are not You don't get that you're like, I'll do what you are. You remember the worst place. Okay, give me no take backs

He took horse you are like the mythological creature in Hercules the one that had like the little Legs, you know plays them. No, it's not Pegasus. I forget what it's called, but He had a goat legs no, those weren't horse legs. But it's the same thing. What? No, just you're the same thing but you got horse legs. I gotta be short and stumpy like that? No, you're still tall because it's horse legs not goat legs, but you only get the two.

So who'd you go with? You went with elephant legs? Elephant. I should have gone crab legs. I would have had some armor. This was fucking so dumb. Let's keep this thing moving from our baby on x No dumb questions If the chiefs play the eagles in the super bowl next year Will jason root for travis

Um, that's not the question. It says who will jason root for? And uh, I will root for the eagles, of course because I will always be an eagle first and foremost First and foremost yeah, I'll also root for Travis to have a good game of course because he's my brother But now I'll definitely be cheering on the Eagles in this scenario. Well good luck. Good luck to your Eagles there you go Baber, what'd you ask for? That's the end of that question. Yeah from user sideboob 55 club 92 Baber, count what you asked for. That's the end of that question. Yeah, from user SideBoo55, Club92. SideBoo55? Guys, can we not make these kind of names on the Club92 website?

You're making us look like a bunch of jemokes. Is this a shot at Brandon, or is this like? Is it? Is Brandon, does BG have some SideBoo? Do you got some? right? Whatever what? Contractual obligations do players have during the offseason like our dangerous activities off limits basically You can't get injured if you get injured you're fucked whatever you're doing. Don't get injured and you're safe You can do whatever you want. Just don't get injured. So just try and stay as safe as possible.

If you get hurt at any point in the off season, technically that ends up being considered what they call an NFI, non-football injury, and you are at risk of voiding any non-guaranteed money in your contract. There are some players that enjoy doing dangerous activities where they will sometimes have things written into

their contracts ahead of time. So let's say they're signing a player that is a known motorcycle rider. They might write into the contract. If you get hurt on a motorcycle, you are voiding future even guaranteed money. That would be an addendum that a player might be signing. There are also contractual obligations, I guess, for, um, workout bonuses. So some guys that they want to show up to the facilities, they don't know if they're going to show up to the facilities, uh, for off season workouts, they will put bonuses in there, sometimes up to $500,000, uh, to show up in lift weights, um, and play in the sun with a bunch of your friends. It's a pretty good deal.

But other than that, it's like, it's pretty self-explanatory. If you could die doing it, like jumping out a plane, it's probably going to be frowned upon by the NFL. But it doesn't even have to do with that. Like you could, this is where it gets weird with NFI. If you're lifting weights outside the facility, that is still considered like you could be trying to become a better football player. You can still be labeled a non football injury by these designations.

I'm actually wish that they would kind of increase the parameters. I don't think a guy that's training to become better should be penalized for getting hurt. But it's, it's a very vague rule that oftentimes the clubs enforce them when they know that a player was doing something stupid, for the most part. Yeah, there have been some horror stories, tons of them. It's a it can get it can get pretty bad. But basically, you just want to want to one make sure that you're always, Basically you just wanna, one, make sure that you're always in shape and not getting yourself into a bad position, but two, also don't do dangerous shit where you could really fuck your shit up. Like we say all the time, you can be dumb, just don't be too dumb.

Don't be real dumb. And I've been real dumb before. It's been close. Real dumb will get you into jail. That does it for No Dumb Questions brought to you by Buffalo Wild Wings. Let's go sports part.

We talked about some free agency moves last week on the episode. And on this week, we're also going to talk some more free agency news. Now just to be forewarned, this episode, the first half is actually being recorded Saturday before this comes out. So we are going to be behind on some free agency moves

coming up Saturday morning to be exact. The 16th. We are nine a.m. Eastern and Travis over there six a.m. on the West Coast. That's why we like these groups. Early word gets the bird. Early word gets the bird, all right. What?

We're just jacked up on accelerators today, baby. We made it. We're here and we're doing this fucking podcast. But there have been some free agency moves that have happened since the last episode and we're going to touch on them right now. Starting with the Kansas City Chiefs. That's right. Kansas City goes Hollywood.

Woo hoo hoo. How about that? Yeah, that's right. You got my doubt. The Chiefs have officially signed former Cardinals and Ravens wide receiver, Marquis Hollywood Brown. I'm fucking pumped, man. Per Adam Schefter, it's a one year deal worth up to $11 million.

Big money. One year deal for up to. I always, so just so everyone knows. Break it down. The wording of some of these contracts, a lot of the time, so the reason this says up to $11 million is either Mark Keith Brown or the Chiefs want to make it sound like

it's an $11 million deal. Up to means it's not an $11 million deal. Up to means he's gotta be a pro bowler, certain amount of catches, certain amount of yards. It might just be roster bonus, he might just have to play every game. I'm not trying to hate, I just, I don't like the way these contracts have started to get sensationalized.

I hate it. It's stupid. It's every contract in any world. Listen, it's happened to me. Everybody has incentives. Everybody has stuff in their line of work that they might have to meet. So it's not.

I don't have a problem with incentives, but it ain't an $11 million contract. It's a $6 million contract with potential upside. That's not, there is likely to be earned upside, unlikely to be earned upside. All I'm saying is they finagle these numbers to say what sometimes the player or the team wants it to say so that somebody can save face publicly.

Hollywood is going to get 11 mil because he's worth every penny and he's about to go crazy this year. All right, we'll find out. I'm marking. I am marking you to that. We will find out. Put a stamp on it. Either way, whatever the amount is, this is a big move for the Kansas City Chiefs.

It's awesome, man. Look at that. Look at that pose. I'm pumped about this one, man. A guy can absolutely fly. the city chiefs. It's awesome, man. Look at that. Look at that pose. I'm pumped about this one, man. A guy can absolutely fly. Talk to my guys, my Oklahoma Sooners on what type of guy he is and everybody just raves about the person he is in the building.

Saw him on Twitch streaming the day he signed or the day he confirmed it. And he was having a good old time, man. I think it's going to be a great addition to the locker room as well as on the field, man. I'm pumped to get in the building and good old time, man. I think it's gonna be a great addition to the locker room as well as on the field, man. I'm pumped to get in the building, get to work, baby. One of the best things was Coach Reed's text. Hollywood ended up posting it on his Instagram. Coach Reed texting him, Hollywood, think red today.

KC Red with diamonds. Hoo hoo hoo! Gosh, I love it. And of course, Hollywood brown in Hollywood fashion. Yes sir, love the sound of that. Think Hollywood brown. Lights, camera, action. Mmm.

There's one guy that knows a little bit about Hollywood. It's Andy Reid, baby. LA's finest right there. This is impressive by Big Red. I didn't know, first of all, I didn't know people talk to each other like this, but I think this is This is impressive by the big man, I didn't know Andy was such a diamonds guy. He's a big diamonds guy And then we yeah, oh yeah, especially in the last five years Yeah, did you know Andy was such an emoji guy? Of course I did I've texted me. He definitely uses the emojis

Yeah, there should be an Andy Reid emoji. We need to get that going. Andy Reid emoji just got that little eyebrow. You got the one look where you're giving the look that you get a lot. Give me that. Hey, what are you doing, son? Why are you doing this? What are you doing, son?

We got to get the Nuggies look. Ooh. The Nuggies. Eyebrows up. Eyebrows down. Walrus is up. They could play that for the remainder of time and I'll still enjoy it every time he says Nuggies, eyebrows up. Eyebrows down. Walrus is upset. They could play that for the remainder of time

and I'll still enjoy it every time he says nuggies, man. Yeah, before we get out of the Chiefs, I believe we also re-signed some guys. We got my guy Tarshan Wharton back in the building, baby. Turk. There we go. Also maybe Derrick Nottie. I think we might have gotten Nottie back in the building.

Has he helped you again? Yeah, I mean, not yet, but he got banged up and got put on IR right before we won the Super Bowl. I know, I know. And as of today at 6 a.m., we still got a luxurious need, baby. Still there. Still there.

LJ, man, just stay, just right there, just keep cruising. Still early in the off season, baby, just stay right there. Just keep cruising. Still early in the off season, baby. Just stay right there. All right now. Let's keep this thing moving to a little Eagles free agency move since we still wanna talk about the fucking Eagles, even though Jason doesn't play for them. Let's talk about them.

Listen, I'm an eagle for life. Yeah, Philly dogs, as they call them. Get some more help on defense. Getting CJ Gardner Johnson back at safety is back in Philly and he just signed a three-year deal with the Eagles I don't know how do you guys let him out of the building in the first place you want to talk about a dog maximum value of 33 million dollars and in Jason's contract understanding that 33 million dollars will probably not be

reached well listen you can say that a police officer is making $75,000 a year, or you can factor in all the double time he's working on, all the shifts that he could potentially try and take, and say that he's making $200,000. All I'm saying is, let's just say... That actually wasn't a bad... Well, if you factor in that, if I work double time every single day of the year, I'll be making $500,000.

Garner Johnson spent last season with the Lions, taking them all the way to the NFC Championship. There's been some controversy around this among fans because CJ took some shots at Eagles fans back in 2022, including calling them obnoxious. But he's since addressed it, quote, I'm obnoxious. I thought it was a compliment. To be honest with you, all jokes aside. What is. I'm obnoxious. I thought it was a compliment to be honest with you all jokes aside The definition of obnoxious I was just in my feelings when you want to be somewhere so bad to the point You can't control certain things. There was no meaning to it. I'm back family reunion to add some I guess

Not clarity but some insight into what happened in 2022, which I think led to what CJ is saying right here. CJ wanted to stay in Philadelphia, I think. And things didn't work out in the contract negotiations the way he wanted them to work out. And I think he felt slighted by that. So he signed in Detroit. And I think this quote really has more to do with that than I think it does how he actually feels about Philadelphia and he I was happy that he addressed it and more important than that I'm happy that he's back and that that is water under the bridge at this point because he's a phenomenal player not only is it phenomenal player but you know this Travis when you play

defenses the best defenses have these guys and guys and even if it's just all of them out there, you need to have this mentality. It's not good enough just to be a good player on defense. You have to have this. I mean, dog is the only way to put it like this like killer instinct that you it's it's like this impulsive, maniacal flight of the ball, see ball get ball, relentless effort, just attacking type player, right. And that's what CJ is. That's what he was when he was here. That's what he was last year when he was in Detroit. And I can tell you right now, every building is happy to get this guy back because he's going to bring that to the defensive side of the ball Which I think ultimately is gonna help the Philadelphia Eagles defense this season. That isn't the only signing. That's right

It's officially how we season and the Eagles have been making all sorts of moves Let's run through a few of them. You guys got a Josh sweat back. He's staying put restructuring is his contract, despite interest from other teams that would have likely included a pay increase. So yeah, he just loves being a being a fucking Eagle man. More power going on. It's like Josh and Hassan Riddick have been the topic of a lot of trade speculation. And you know, there's a lot of speculation that either one or both wouldn't be on the team. It

seems like with this restructure that at least Josh will be here. And listen, sweaty. It's too damn good for both players. Sweaty when he's feeling good. And Fresh is one of the best defense events in the league. He's got great power, great speed, one of the best get offs I've ever seen. A really, really good player that our tackles hate blocking. So certainly happy that he's, it looks like he's staying in Philadelphia for sure. A really, really good player that our tackles hate blocking.

So certainly happy that he's, it looks like he's staying in Philadelphia for sure. All right. Well how about Eagle signing former Bucs linebacker Devin White? Look at that. Talk about a guy with a dog mentality and flying around to the ball, man. That's one thing Devin White can do. And the Eagles agree to a one year $7.5 million contract with former Bucks Pro Bowler Devin White who joins Josh Huff and Zach Bhan as the third New Eagles linebacker edition. Did I say that one right?

Well, definitely Josh Huff. Dude, uh, yeah, no, obviously had a bunch of games with Devin White between the both of us, man. He's a downhill kind of guy, just flies around, talks a lot, talks a lot of shit. Does he? No, I'm serious. I've never. I've played him a lot too. I've never got into like that portion with him. Oh yeah. He has some fun. He has some fun playing the game. That's for damn sure. This is a guy that I actually don't think he's like downhill. I think he's more of like a he's so fast. He's one of these guys if you put him in a position where he can run

sideline to sideline and just like run to the ball, he's going to excel. That's why he has so many tackles. Yeah, he's also great in the passing game because of how athletic he is. He's not going to be mismatched too often. Is that fair to say? I mean, you know more about that than I do. I don't know if that's accurate. I mean, we've gone I think we've gone back and forth and had some great battles. He's got me on a lot of them I've gotten him on a few so I think the key to this like he's a he's a phenomenal player Especially if you keep the old lineman off of him If the D lineman could eat up some of these blocks or create penetration and let him run

This guy is a phenomenal player and he's been that way since he's been in the league Well, you guys got former Steelers quarterback. Can they pick it? That's right He just can't leave the state of pennsylvania. The guy fucking just loves pa man grew up in the philadelphia area Goes to pittsburgh and comes right back to philadelphia. Yeah, this guy just loves pa We kind of talked about this last week with the Russell signing in Pittsburgh. We didn't know what was gonna happen with Kenny. And we said that, I said, this is the quarterback

is one piece that feels like Pittsburgh is missing, right? Yeah. So I don't know why it didn't work out for Kenny in Pittsburgh, but we've seen this before. Sometimes it's the fit, the system, whatever it is, he gets to have a fresh start now and come over to Philadelphia. And obviously he'll be behind Jalen Hertz and he'll have an opportunity to learn and grow and play with some really, really good players.

I mean, obviously we talked about it last week, the skillset of the guys on the Eagles roster is pretty star-studded. So yeah, not only does he get to come back to his hometown, but he gets a fresh start. You know, we've seen this with other quarterbacks too. Baker just signed a $30 million a year deal down in Tampa Bay and he's bounced around a few times. It's interesting to see how sometimes one stop is a guy's,

doesn't work out, but all of a sudden he ends up someplace else, maybe a little Nicky Foles action and as a darn good fit. So hopefully this is a good fit, a better fit for Kenny. And you know, he can really maximize his potential in Philadelphia now. Kenny and the Steelers, their relationship ended in a little bad blood because Kenny is saying he preferred to move on. Their relationship ended in a little bad blood because Kenny is Saying he preferred to move on. All right. There we go wide receiver Devante Parker signs a one-year deal with the Eagles I spent his first seven seasons in Miami in the last two in New England. If this is the Devante Parker, I know

That I played against him it No, it can't be. This is the Devontae Parker that was with the Patriots. Yeah, I thought he was like the Louisville guy I played in college, but I don't think that's him. Yeah, he was Louisville. There you go. Got a good memory, Trapp.

Thanks. I don't know how that math adds up, but yeah. What do you mean? He just finished his ninth season. You just finished your eleventh season. Oh, seven seasons in the past two. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's him.

So you guys just got a deep threat and a guy that can go get the football, man. But even more news, Jake The Make Elliott signs a four-year, $24 million contract extension. Holy cow. Jake The Make's. I'm just finding out about this. Six million dollar average. Here we go, Jay. Ties him with Justin Tucker for the highest played kicker

in NFL history. I didn't know kickers even made that much money. I'm not gonna lie. I mean, he's worth every penny. Especially if you look at the kicks he made in clutch situations last year. The Bills game after I false started twice in a two minute drill,

and he had to kick a 60 yarder to take it into overtime. Very clutch and very appreciative, Jake. That's big time. No, Jake has been an incredible kicker with Philadelphia for a long time. So he deserves every penny of this, he really does. Yeah.

And couldn't happen to a better teammate, better guy. So happy for Jake, for sure. Way to go, Bubba. Shout out to Little Bo Peep or what's it? What did they? Chicken Littles. Chicken Littles. There you go. Chicken Littles.

We talked about Landon Dickerson becoming the highest paid guard in NFL history last week but he was just asked what he'd buy with his first new contract and he replied. I don't know, maybe I'll get a new lawn mower. Some have been looking into. Riding. Yeah, zero turn. Zero turn baby, those zero turns are pretty fucking sweet. Jason, you got a zero turn? I do have a zero turn, you've been on a zero turn.

I have, I didn't know that was a zero turn. There are a few things better than being on a zero turn. It is a, it's a fun afternoon for sure. How fast you got that thing going? I don't know. I don't think mine has like a mile per hour. It definitely doesn't have a mile per hour thing on it.

You gotta water boy that thing, tune that thing up. You gotta get one of them baseball, who sometimes the cops on our street. You gotta get Vicki Vallico. Sometimes the cops on our street will put one of those. One of those mile per hour things. Just to like gauge traffic. You're caught in like a whole different realm right now.

And she showed me her boobies and I liked them. That's a spot on. That's a big shit. Shout out to SideBoot55. Shout out to Waterboy. I'm not a fan of that. I'm not a fan of that. I'm not a fan of that. I'm not a fan of that. I'm not a fan of that. I'm not a fan of that. I'm not a fan of that.

I'm not a fan of that. I'm not a fan of that. I'm not a fan of that. I'm not a fan of that. I'm not a fan of that. I'm not a fan of that. Landon's a big do-it-yourself guy. He's a gear head. He's always working on trucks or vehicles of his.

Nice. Loves doing work around the house. He shows me little projects he's done throughout his house that Brooke, his wife, always puts him up to. And he acts like he doesn't really want to do it. But in my head, I'm like, dude, you just built a whole set of cabins. I think you're kind of into this, all right? So. This is beyond a talent at this point.

No, Landon's a man. Well first off, let's take a minute and admire Landon's lawn here. He's got the diamond cut going on right here. Looks like a major league baseball outfield right here. That's pretty damn good, man. It's gorgeous. Some good stuff right there. shout out to Landon man

Who didn't knew he was the he was such the handyman. I did he's also got a flamethrower. It's pretty dope Well now cam has a flamethrower too. It's better than Landon's yeah, dude Landon's into all this stuff whenever I have a question regarding any of it I ask Landon and he usually doesn't help me for whatever reason he acts like he doesn't know he's talking about cuz I know he does But it's all right. Hey, Len, spread, spread the frickin word man. Help a guy out. Congrats landed on your new lawnmower. In more news around the league. Let's move on to some other news

around the league. Let's do it. announces retirement. This is just, I mean, this ain't news. This is like, this is sensational news. Is today Aaron Donald day forever? Listen, I don't do the days after 10 years in the league Rams, even to tackle. Aaron Donald has officially decided to call it a career.

And man, what a career it was. What a legendary career man. He announced his decision on social media accounts. Cheers to what's next extending a big thank you to the Rams and all of your fans for your support over these last 10 years. Much love. This is the most iconic defensive lineman really since my time in the NFL. Aaron Donald made the Pro Bowl in every year he was in the NFL, all 10 years. You know the only other player to do that? You.

No. Barry Sanders. Damn, that's pretty good. They're the only two players in NFL history to make the Pro Bowl in every single season they played in the NFL. Both 10-year player too. Ironically, both retired at 10 years.

But I gotta set this record straight because I see a lot of people on social media, as they list all of Aaron's sacks against quarterbacks, people like never had a sack against the Eagles, like, oh, the Eagles had your number, we double teamed him in triple teamed him every single game. All right. He is the only defensive tackle we have ever gone up against, where the entire game plan is situated on not having him ruin the game. The only one.

I don't care if it was a five down front. I don't care if there's a blitz happening over there. We are double teaming Aaron Donald. That's the way we played him. There was not another player that was treated in that light. Not a defensive end, not a defensive tackle. Nobody. Not even Micah Parsons. We did help out Micah a lot too. Micah's very good. But I'm telling you right now now this guy should have had better numbers It's like it's crazy to talk about there was so little times. He was blocked one-on-one I did see a couple clips of Joe Thune in the Super Bowl Joe Thune he got it down. He got it done twice. I mean just an absolute bulldog of relentless energy power speed twice. I mean just an absolute bulldog of relentless energy, power, speed, skill. The

guy had everything. In my mind he's the best defensive player and I don't know that it's particularly close over the last decade. I really don't. I gotta get this footage of us playing him in Los Angeles back in like 2014 or 15. And I'm outside the hash and he's like, let's say it's on the right, the ball's on the right hash, he's playing nose guard or he's playing interior line either over the guard or the center. And I'm outside the left hash.

Like I'm like a good 10 yards away from the guy. Got it. On the snap of the ball, comes in V lines to reroute me and fucking throws me basically off the field yeah no I mean listen completely fucking ruins the play I come off the field like looking at like, did you guys just see what fucking happened to me? I just got abused by somebody I had no idea was coming and he's the biggest son of a bitch on the field, man. Just the absolute house of a dude, man. I mean, it's not even that he's the biggest. It's like, he's not that big.

Bro, what do you mean? God, look at the, he's chiseled, but I don't think he was over 300 pounds. Maybe he was. This is just a dude that was so much more explosive and powerful than anybody else. It was unreal how good he was. And I really, that's why I say it, like, this is not a shot at any other defensive player that I played in the league, because a lot of them were quite a bit better than me. There's no question about it. Like I don't even like people like talking shit to the guy because I'm like, y'all have no fucking clue how good this dude was. Like he didn't have a sack against the

Eagles because we were like, it was the entire game plan. We didn't care about another player on the field. And that's just the God's honest truth. It was where's 99 at? We're slotted to him. One time this last game, Landon got stuck on him because I thought he was out of the game. He kind of snuck into his position on him because I thought he was out of the game. He kind of snuck into his position. I didn't know he was still on the field. Dude, he's sneaky. That's how he got me.

He's sneaky. And Landon said, so we're not going to 99 anymore? One play. Guards would go into the games like, you could tell, during the week. They're like, okay. Hell! He's over here, we're running over there. He's over there, we're sliding over there.

Shout out to AD. No, it was. Unbelievable career, brother. Unbelievable career, unbelievable. If you wanna win one more Super Bowl, just we'll probably have some availability somewhere in December. And as for the debate for like Goat Defend the Tackle.

Yeah. I don't like comparing cross like generations. I think it's too hard. You know, John Randall, like all of these guys that played inside. John Randall. John Randall's a like a very infamous defensive tackle played for the Vikings. But there's there's been a lot of great defensive tackles Warren Sapp. I know this he's the goat from when I was in the league. I firmly believe that. Yeah. Lastly, Mikey Vrabel is going back to the O-H-I-O baby.

Go Northeast Ohio is headed back to Northeast Ohio and I'm sure whilst Jesuits finest. That's right. That's right. Per Adam Schefter and field Yates, the Cleveland Browns are hiring former Titans head coach Mike Vrabel as a coaching and personnel consultant, which I think this makes sense because Jim Schwartz, who's the defense quarter right now, he was just one in that position in Tennessee for a couple of years before he accepted the Cleveland Browns job last year. So now those two get to be reunited in Northeast Ohio. Some plays coach Fraves is very familiar with.

It's a great fit. Smart dude, smart dude, man. He understands all facets of the game to be teamed up with Schwartz. Yeah, that's, that's gonna be dangerous, especially with the players that defense already has. You give a guy like Miles Garrett a great coach like that, not saying that Schwartz or anybody they already have at the D-line position or in that coaching staff isn't good enough, but you get Vrabes in there, man.

He's making everybody better, man. Yeah, I still think there's a situation where Vrabes is not gonna add value to being involved in the organization and how much he'll be involved with players or how much he'll just be involved on the back end with Schwartz and the coaches, who knows? Yeah.

Like, Fraves has been around everything. It's so weird. Like, he played in a three-four New England style defense for the majority of his career. Then, all of a sudden, he's gone to some of these four-down looks. Tennessee's gone to a little bit more of like a four-down defense.

And now he's with Jim, and it's not only is it a four-down, but it's not like you're, it. And now he's with Jim and it's not always at a four down, but it's not like you're, it's not what he did. I mean, he's a two gap in big, you know, bow hitting the. Oh yeah, I'm coming, yeah. I'm changing the line of scrimmage here. Yeah, now this is the Jim Schwartz jet technique, get off the ball with a phenomenal defensive line. So yeah, I think this is just another thing

that speaks to his versatility as a coach and a defensive consultant will add a lot of value there. Yeah, I don't know how he didn't get a head coaching job. I mean, organizations. Yeah, it's weird. Silly. Yeah. For not even, I don't know, I think it's hilarious

that he got through there. He's a proven leader, he's a proven coach that is loved by his players, but still has that balance of being loved and also holding players accountable. He's a phenomenal head coach. And it's odd not to see him as a head coach. He'll do this for who knows how long, and I'm sure there's gonna be something

that's gonna open up pretty quick for quick for you know it's real quick all right now it's time to shout out our next sponsor Buffalo Wild Wings Jason did you know it's officially BOGO March Madness at Buffalo Wild Wings the official sports bar of the tourney I didn't know we were branding at that I knew it was March Madness of course but I am intrigued Trev What's going on with the BOGO deal?

Yeah, what's it been like? How's the week been? I know Cam Hayward ended up winning the award But for those of you that don't know only 32 people get nominated across the entire NFL every season

Each team gets one person Lane Johnson was the Eagles nominee this year, long overdue. What was it? What's it been like? No, it was cool. Got to meet the Payton family, talked to all the guys and then yesterday, so it's the day of the ceremony, everybody's wondering, you know, who's who. Yeah. Because usually you get time to prepare a speech. And so apparently Cam, when he got called, there was no speech ready. So he went up there. So he didn't know. He didn't know. I thought that they at least tell the guy who wins. So he's got something prepared.

That's what I thought too. That's what I heard. And this year it was. Complete surprise. Shout out to Cam. Yeah, being put on the spot. Being put on the spot. That was impressive.

And the winner for those, the winner gets announced to NFL honors. How was NFL honors? Was it pretty good? Yeah, no, it was cool. Means Vegas, it should be a pretty good. Yeah, no, they had a nice little VIP set up. Got to meet the guys. Keegan NFL honors? Was it pretty good? No, it was cool. It's Vegas. It should be a pretty good. Yeah. They had a nice little VIP set up. I got to meet the guys. Keegan-Michael Key hosted it.

Yeah. So yeah, I got to talk to him, but yeah, I just got to see a lot of the guys, legends walking around. I got to see Bruce Smith last night. So just, you know, Julius Peppers. Hey, he's, he's, he might be three, four year. No, he's huge. I have never seen Julius Peppers outside of football, but on a football field, he was the largest human being in like all these cats. Like his head was enormous. It's crazy how he was able to play basketball

at North Carolina too. Yeah. Like. He had to be, what did he weigh when he played basketball you think? I don't know, he looked like he was. 270? Yeah, 270, 280.

Bruce Smith was giving me crap for taking my shirt off in Buffalo. He didn't like it. He didn't like it? Whoa. Why not? Yeah, he's like, I didn't like that. Nobody takes your shirt off except me. Fucking Jim Kelly.

And then, Jordy, when'd you get in? Tuesday night. Tuesday night? Yeah. You're obviously feeling a lot better than Lane. Lane and I have IVs in, for those of you that can't see or didn't notice. We're in Vegas and it's all about health here. So we decided to make sure that we're nice and hydrated. Jordy's just going

for pure adrenaline, pure caffeine. I didn't drink enough, so I just need a little pick me up. So thank you, accelerator. There we go. Let's start off with this. Lane, can you tell the world once and for all why you are always false starting? Oh my God. My coach tells me to. Oh my God. I think all the 49ers fans out there are chopping at the bit to ask this question.

So coming into the league I saw all his articles of the false start. Me getting away with it and I was like it's supposed to be a long season. And then I guess they mistook me for a Jawan Taylor. Shadowing the short ball, Jawan Taylor, yeah. As you know, if we're laid off the ball, the defense man likes to get the tackle turned and then a lot of bad things happen. So for not, you know, 100 meter dash that first 10,

20 isn't looking good, you're gonna lose the race. So that's how I see it. When I got here, JP was the master at it. I was always slow and they never called him, but he had a way of talking to the reps. One of the biggest mistakes that every young player makes is not getting off on the snap count. And that's your, any rookie,

like Stout will put in lane on the spot. That's what I'm learning. You learned it from JP, like you said. Yeah, but the most important thing for any player is getting off on the snap count. What do you think, doing all these reps for 10 years with one person, you might have an advantage over the defense and you might get a jump.

I think so, I think so, yeah. It's a circle of life. The other thing that drives me crazy, especially with you is when they do it in slow motion, cause when you do it in slow motion, it looks like it's a worse difference than, but when you watch it in real time, most people can't tell.

They need to just put a laser on my foot and a laser on your hand. And that would be the best way to do it. If you wanted to legitimately try and do that. But yeah, there's about five of them that got away with Tampa Bay earlier. So there's one. And there was one in the San Fran game

where I was actually late. You were on time on the snap count, which that probably would have been a false start. For everybody out there, if you're late off the snap, it doesn't matter what you know, what you can do, you're done. You got to keep the defensive end in front of you if you want to block them. Yeah.

Once you get to your edge, you're fucked. Yeah. Yeah, short pocket boos, I don't know if I have cell signs in your house. Who's the hardest guy you guys have had to block? Who's the best? And what makes him the best? Vaughn, Micah. Micah took another step this year.

He's been great, but he was even better. He's got me better with his hands. Slippery, dude. I think just like the best is Miles. Just because he can move like a Parsons, I think just like the best is Miles. Just because he can move like a Parsons, but he's 280. And when you see some of the how it's been and his angles you can get to, it's like, whoa, he looks like something from another planet. Would you rather play a player with incredible speed and agility or a player with incredible

power? Which one is the one you'd rather face? I would rather face power. Yeah. Power. Because you know what they're going to get and then eventually, you know, they do wear down by the end of the game so it's not as effective. Yeah. Most guys, well, that's the other thing. Yeah, you can only do power so much. So much and so once it works out. Speed, it can happen every time. Most guys don't have power and speed to like that extent. If you have extreme power, usually that's what you're doing. Miles got both.

That's what I'm saying, there's two guys that can set the edge and be a pass rusher. I think Cam Jordan was a great example all those years. Just being 290, was doing all these things. Dwight Freehny just got inducted into the Hall of Fame. Congratulations, Dwight. Yeah, speaking of Dwight, my shoes were untied on the play. You tied them up with a spin move. I wound down on the ground and touched my toes. I just tied my shoes.

That is funny. That's funny as hell. Alright, let's get to your guys' paths to the NFL. Jordan, when you were on last time, we talked about your path lane. You also had an interesting path to the NFL. Talk about your journey. You started with the Eagles in 2013, but before that, you didn't just start at Oklahoma. You started at Juco, you

were a quarterback in high school, you ended up moving off into line, what, your sophomore or junior? Junior. Junior year. What was that like? What was that transition like? Yeah, so the quarterback, you know, I got that offer from Kilgore, I got an offer from Rice. Rice wasn't a big football school, so I wanted to go to Kilgore to try to go to Division I. Then once I got to Oklahoma, I was a tight end right away, and so that was probably my toughest transition,

because I went from QB, and then I'm in training camp with the team, and I don't know anything. I'm just getting tossed. You know, you have Jerro Mccoy out there, Trent, Sam. And so yeah, first year was tough when I redshirted and then like my second year, like I played some tight end and then I got moved to D in and then during that spring's when I moved to tackle. Yeah.

Going through my junior year. So, but when I moved, I felt like it was natural. I felt like it was basketball to me. So Howard Mudd, one of the first things you always said, pass pocket is just playing basketball. And so when I was growing up, that's all I mean, I played primarily basketball and then I got serious about football in high school. Well, primarily you were a redneck, right? Yeah, exactly. What is it about Juco? I've never talked to you about this. What is it about Juco that makes guys like, I don't know if loyal is the right word. I feel like everybody that went to Juco,

went on to a big university, went on to play in the NFL, they speak more about their time at Juco than even their time at university. Yeah, because probably you see like, as talented players as division one, like a lot of them are division one transfers, can't make the grades. So a lot of talented athletes,

but I think the thing is, it's just the damn survival pretty much there. The coaches are all trying to be somewhere else, everybody else is trying to be somewhere else and you're there for a few short months and yeah, I mean it's just chaos. What was the Netflix deal that? Last chance you. Yes, it's literally like that.

It's a lot like that. Now some are ran a lot better, you know, coaches aren't acting like that. Yeah, well some of that was for the cameras. Yeah, exactly. But very competitive. But yeah, just guys are trying to, you know, obviously it's a stop and point of where they're trying to be. So yeah, it's stressful.

My first game was against Jason Pierre Paul and Levante David. In Juco. In Juco. They played for Fort Scott. Now you were playing quarterback. I was playing quarterback. How'd that go? Yeah.

So we look at the depth chart. You have some go? Yeah. So we look at the depth chart. You have some good tackles. So we look at the depth chart. It says DN 66280. I said, what the fuck am I about to walk up there? And that's when he was doing all the somersaults. So he did 21. He probably had about 21 pressure in that game too.

But yeah, man, it was fun. A lot of tremendous athletes. I feel like the skill athletes, receivers all transfer well. The line's a little bit, you know, not as good. But skill athletes, they're all good. They're all good. They're all good. They're all good.

They're all good. They're all good. They're all good. They're all good. They're all good. They're all good. They're all good. They're all good. They're all good. A lot of tremendous athletes. I feel like the skilled athletes, receivers, all transfer well. The line's a little bit, you know, not as good. But skilled athletes are, you know, pretty common. Well, you moved to offensive line Oklahoma.

What did you, how did you feel about, I know you said you felt natural playing the position. I didn't. But I feel like there's a mentality of the offensive line. How did you fit in with the room? How'd you feel? You know, I just remember after playing all the skill position, I remember being a practicing, watching these dickheads sit there with their.

I'm like, these guys here have the fucking life. And so the lineman, this is back when I was playing tight end, like I'm on all these routes and I'm looking at all these guys just blocking. Rest and then fell for it. Yeah. So initially when I moved, um, yeah, I mean, yeah, I fell for it. I, uh, yeah, I didn't mind the change. I wasn't playing and then I started to play and then, yeah, just, uh, pass pro was like, could I just walk into me and then, um, one of my buddies gave, he, he was, uh, tied in when he got there, moved to center. So went from 260 to 300.

Yeah, so that was really it. You went from 260 to 300? No, he did. Oh yeah. Yeah, so I was probably like 280. So I was already big. And then, yeah, I started pass setting. So I wasn't even starting and going into my junior season.

Darrell Williams, he ended up playing like eight or nine years in the league. Ended up getting sprained in his ankle. Yeah. And then, so I finished that game, then my first start was against Florida State. That's a good one. I had a rough first half.

Do you remember who you were playing? Bjorn Warner was the, Bjorn Warner, okay. Was the man. So I had a rough first half, and then after that, did well. But I remember when I was interviewing the Chiefs, I was interviewing with the Chiefs,

and they were turning on the, you know, the more worst players but I remember when I was interviewing the chiefs. I was interviewing with the chiefs They were turned on the you know the more worse place I remember I was like what's going what's what's going on here? I said looks like I'm getting my fucking ass They like that answer that was at the combine So is this like a is this like a you decision to go to the airline or like the coaches told? Yes, you know I was gonna be a rotational guide be in and so And you should play yeah our other starter tours coaches told me. Yeah, it was me. You know, I was going to be a rotational guy at the end. And so I could play. Yeah, our other starter tour is, you know, MCL, ACL. And so there was nobody really there.

And so just came natural and then moved to left. So I had Trent there, had Donald Stephenson. So I had some good players. So yeah, no, I never thought I'd be playing a line. Probably like you, you know, going to college as a linebacker. Yeah. You know, it's one of the last positions you're gonna play.

You ever think you're gonna play? Yeah. When you got to Philadelphia, you drafted the fourth round. What are your first impressions of Philadelphia? Well, that's kind of a scary city. Scary, what? No, I'm just talking about the fans are intimidating.

Yeah. I don't know, you see a big mob like that, all that energy. You're just like, damn, I want them on my side. Then, the more you play and the more they see you and your personality and what you're about, then you win them over. Yeah. But you gotta put in your due time.

But yeah, no, obviously I was happy about coming here. Thought I was gonna go to Dolphins. Had a good workout with Stout. That was interesting. What pit, Dolphins with third pick? Third pick. Yeah. So I took Deon.

Yep. But I thought Chip was gonna try to get Deon. I think that's what they're trying to do. So you thought they were gonna trade up. Yeah. Deon, yours. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, got in.

I had a lot of great vets, some interesting characters and been there ever since. What a... What were your first, speaking of vets, some interesting characters and been there ever since. Speaking of vets, I guess I wasn't a vet at that time, but what were your first impressions of me? First of all, I saw your hair. I was like, whoa, I like the hair. You had long hair. You had the good beard.

I know your first impressions of Travis were... I saw his hair. I was like, he looks like fucking Phil and Dale from the Rug rack you know I'm talking about yes yes I didn't know we kind of came in late to the combine yeah I saw you I think yeah so as OTAs and we were doing some drill and I saw you fucking throw your helmet like a discus yeah and I said hey I like this guy I like this guy's intensity for the game. Yeah, but like with every great player, there's always traits. Guys, the reason why they're so good is because they have an undeniable passion for the game.

There's a certain intensity about them that they have to be the certain player and there's no other way. But we had a lot of those guys. We did. And so the culture was set, you know, they had guys before them. So I felt like just the culture that I came into was really good, whereas a lot of rookies don't get that. Jody, you came in in 2018. Yep.

What were your first impressions of Lane? I didn't know what to expect, you know, walking into an NFL locker room. But when I met Lane, I thought he was the funniest motherfucker in the world. What was I doing? Are you just, you're doing like how you always do. You're just being yourself.

Just bringing like, bringing like. We're gonna get to it. We're gonna try, I'm just gonna start rattling off guys. And I'm gonna start letting you just, first thing that comes to your head, there's nobody. Yes. On the planet. You said this.

Yes, that can freaking do lookalikes like doppelgangers like actions yeah impressions it's impressive it's a very useless knowledge this is this what I walked into that it's got me in stitch it's going to be mathematics I pick my angle and I run I pick my angle and I run. I pick my angle and I kick set. You just talked about makes a great trait for every offensive lineman and intensity and passion for the game. Somebody that has tremendous passion, intensity that was also in the room that really set the tone for the room and still sets the tone for the room is Jeff Stoutland.

This is an Eagles Offensive Line podcast and it wouldn't be complete without talking about Stout. When did you first meet Stout? Lane? I think I met him at the combine. And so, you know, he's doing the ankles, you know, asking all these questions. You did the test. Did the test. And then, yeah. And then, so when I really got to really meet him was whenever

he came to my hometown. We have one cafe there. You have one cafe? Yeah. What's it called? Two cafes now, the County Seat Cafe. The County Seat? Because it's right by the- What's the best thing on the menu? Right by the courthouse. Probably chicken. I mean, they have everything. But what's your favorite though? I like chicken fried steak. They'll have green beans, mashed potatoes, grovy. Just a regular dino. Sounds great. Texas toast. Regular Southern dino. Anything to make your blood pressure go higher than what it just read on that. So yeah, he came in, he's like,

yeah, your town's got fucking dirty spoons, bro. I don't know. I did my stepdad's up there talking shit to him. It was like a real life my cousin Vinny. Yeah. And then as you know, he gets on the board and, hey, what's this, what's this? I'll race it and I draw it up.

That's not what I drew up. Then we go outside and do the drills and all that was, you know, all that was fun. But. Yeah. So yeah, Winchester was with me then. My buddy who's a long staffer for the Chiefs, so he was out of the league for like two years.

And I was like, stop this guy, this guy can stop the ball pretty good. So Dornbos gets hurt in the preseason and then Winchester comes. That's right. I forgot about that. Yeah, he goes to Kansas City. He's been there for a while. That's awesome. Yeah. Stop like when I'm trying to describe like a stout meeting, it's like Robert, no Al Pacino in any given Sunday, the locker room speech

where they run out every meeting is intense, you know. And then pop quiz time, he'll ask questions. Cold questioning. Cold call. When you're not listening, he likes to call Landon a lot because Landon, sometimes he'll know it and then sometimes he'll be playing. He calls Landon a lot because Landon's on his phone.

Yeah. And he can see, Stout's like that teacher in the front of the class. Yeah. That like, you think you're getting away with it. He knows. But he like that teacher in the front of the class, that you think you're getting away with it, but he's got eyes in the back of his head and he can tell and he's just going to be, you know, all right, this week we got Dice Right, what are our kills out of our Dice Right plays? Landon!

And then he'll pop his head up and... You don't call him Fred, He's not awake. He has a condition. Whatever you did in that first meeting, you nailed it because I was a good athlete. That's what they're looking for. Stout before the draft, like even, you know, we knew we were picking fourth but you know if you had any input or if you were looking at guys in i watched your combine the 40 gets the big number and you ran an unbelievable 40 you ran a 471 it's more about the it's more all i i think 40s are so and everybody knows this is so overrated for offensive lineman. But watching your lateral movement, watching your feet, you are the most fluid. I like fluid athleticism and I think when you see a big guy as big as you were, be able

to move as fast and as smooth as you are, it ain't that hard. Those are good traits to have. And I think that you had a great, often you had a great offensive tackle class. There's Joe Cofisher, you was Armstead the same year as you? Armstead was there. Yeah. Bogtiari was there. Yeah, so there was a lot of great players,

but I remember in particular Stout and I talking about you and right after the combine and yeah, I didn't have any input. He was just- Yeah, Lonnie was in on that too. So he's just, he's all about guys that can persevere, go through adversity. Like you, JP, him, any guys that has any sort of, you know,

different background to them, I feel like he likes. But far as me, like us, you can get a guy on the field and tell if he can play like an OTA is in about five minutes, two minutes. I mean, I feel like the guys that are a little bit more, if a guy's going to be a beast, it's pretty evident. Yeah. Yeah.

Jalen Carter, first pass rep. Even Landon, Landon was hurt, but you could, well, first of all, he's in there fucking throwing around four or five. Yeah. When he was, when he's hand cleaning four or five and like jumping while he's doing it. Any guy that has back hair that you can grab. You can probably hand clean though. You're going to be strong as shit.

Jordan, what, uh, you did an impression of Stout when he was on Lane. I think it's only fair that you give it a try. Let's see your impression game Lane. Stout? Stout when he was on. Lane, I think it's only fair that you give it a try. Let's see your impression game, Lane. Stout? Stout. I love Jeff McLean. I don't know Jeff. I don't know. Shout out to Jeff McLean. Hey, bro. You gotta put that clip on. Yeah. There's an old press conference with Stout doing that exact quote. We got to find that one. We'll see how accurate that impression was, which I think was pretty inaccurate. I love Jeff McQueen.

I don't know Jeff. I don't know what happened. I can teach a six man protection as good as anybody. I know how to teach a six man protection as good as anybody. What's your next story gonna be, Jeff? And the one after that. What's your next story gonna be, Jeff? After this one, what's the next one?

We've been with Stout for 10 years, 11 years. And yeah, you've been with him your entire career. Yeah, serious. But there are some new coaches. What do you guys think about the changes made this off season? You know, the guys that are coming in, have you talked to any of the new guys yet? I haven't.

I haven't seen them. I know Vic Fangio is like- We knew Vic. Is like, stouted as the defense squad. I feel like they're gonna be best friends. They were best friends when he was here for the Ailes. They golfed and he was like, dude. Pizanz. It'll be good for both of those guys. No question.

I ran into Kellan. You ran into Kellan? Yeah, I ran into Kellan. What'd he tell you? At the facility. I was just chatting with him. Just small talk. When'd you get in? How long are you here for? So nothing ball related. Nothing ball related.

Well, how'd he come off? I mean, as outgoing as he can be. He did speak to Stout though. So then I went to go see Stout and when I went out to see Stout, they were both in the room together in his office. I think they were getting chatting ball right away. So I just said hi and I got out of there because I didn't want to chat ball with him. Hey man, it's too soon.

Too soon. They're back at it. They're already back at it. All right. So're back at it. They're already back at it. All right. So, that's good signs. They're great signs. All right, we're gonna get straight to it. We got minimal time left.

Lane's got a full docket this week. This is probably the fun portion of the show. We gotta ask but you don't have to answer. We have to ask all of our guests these questions but again, you don't have to answer. What is your welcome to the NFL moment? Justin Houston. Yeah, I remember that game. We won. No, we didn't. We didn't beat the Chiefs. No, you're right. We never beat the Chiefs. This year was the first time. Yeah, him. I just kept hearing punch, punch. I went out there and punched nothing. Who was telling you to punch?

Trey Thomas. Big Trey. Throwed them hands, though. Had about two or three sex, I think it was three. Michael Vick was out there just getting his ass blasted. I'm going, man, I'm sorry. Yeah. But he was good, he went on to have like 22 and a half sex.

Yeah, it turns out it was like, the third or fourth game of the year was early and everybody, Lane's all down on himself and then he went to beat the shit out of every other tackle in the NFL that year. Yeah, he was a fantastic Justin Houston for sure. Strong as shit. What did you guys think of the Dippin' Dots freezer? What's your favorite flavor?

What's the banana one? That's my favorite banana split. The banana one, yeah. Cookies and cream and then what's the other one? Chocolate chip cookie dough? Yeah, cookie dough, yeah. Me and Landon house those. We're crushing the cookie doughs. I was wondering why I couldn't get any.

What else should we get in there? What else could the O-Line room use? A fucking cooler full of beer and give something to Stout. Cagaretta. We got a Cagaretta book. I don't think Stout's gonna go for that one. I feel like we need to rearrange the O-Line room. We all need to have like Normatech, sit on the floor. We could be recovering. You don't like the massage chair that doesn't work? It don't, I have had zero massages.

Yeah. You can't put in a foam. I agree. We gotta change up the feng shui, the room. Make it like a kindergarten class. Make little tables. I don't give a damn, but it's gotta change. Okay, maybe. You never even sit in your chair.

I know. We don't need to be sitting like that. I can barely fit on the damn table right now, man. We don't need to make it smaller. I can barely fit on the damn table and chair now. Who would each of your dream performers be to get on the Eagles Christmas album? You could have anybody. Anybody.

Marvin Gaye. Marvin Gaye? Yeah. Is he still alive? No. Okay, that's gonna be tough. Marvin Gaye. Shit. My dad's alive.

He's gonna be tough, he's dead. Dude, somebody who can compliment us. You can't just put like. What about somebody different, like Post Malone? What would you do? That'd be fucking great. I like stuff like that. Oh yeah, Post Malone. I like doing stuff that's way different different, like Post Malone? What would you do? It's not be fucking great. I like stuff like that. Oh yeah, Post Malone.

I like doing stuff that's way different. Yeah, Post Malone would do something good. If we're going dead, I mean, I got to go Frank Sinatra. Yeah. Lane, did you try any Australian candy that Jordan brought to the locker room? I didn't know there was candy. I couldn't get through the fucking boxes.

But I was like, to get to, to get some candy. Yeah. It's still there. The box is still there. I ain't gonna sway and try to get to it. It's motherfucker, bro. No, but I would like some more stirring candy. What's so good about it? I got some, it's just different. Different sugars, different...

Different cultures. Different ingredients. Less. Think of like US candy, but just half the ingredients. Think of US US candy but just half the ingredients. Think of US candy but like half as good. Okay. Fuck off. No way. There's no way, bro. American candy might be the most overrated candy in the world. And that might be a hot take but I'll stand for it.

It's overrated because it's the greatest country in the world so it's got high standards. You know what? I might agree with that statement. Oh, nice. But the positive, but the first one, the candy, I can't give high standards. I might agree with that statement. Nice. But the positive, but the first one, the candy, I'm gonna give you that. I'll give you the greatest country in the world. I'm gonna give you the candy. All right, I'll take that. Pick one.

You guys can have the candy if we're greatest country in the world. I'll take that. Jordy, are you familiar with the Australian cartoon that has become an American station? Bluey. You got it. Can you name all the characters? I cannot. What's the main character?

It's gotta be fucking Bluey because if it... That is, it's Bluey. You got it. Can you name all the characters? I cannot. What's the main character? It's gotta be fucking Bluie. That is, it's, you know that one. I'm kidding. Yeah. Bluie, what about- Do you watch this? Have you watched this with the kids?

Bluie, Gooie? No. I feel like your kids were a little bit older once this really started getting big. Yeah. We watched Blaze, Blippi. What's the Paw Patrol? Paw Patrol, yeah. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse back in the day.

You were big Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Yeah. Feel like all the dads keep saying, Meeska, Meeska, Mickey Mouse. Yeah, I don't have kids yet. I have a niece though. You'll be saying this. We're out of that for right now,

but it's gonna happen again once Ben gets a little bit older. Do you guys claim Tycho Waititi, even though he's New Zealander? Honestly, I don't think they do. They don't, no? Yeah, cause he's like,alander? Honestly, I don't think they do. They don't? No? Yeah, because he's like, it's the ones that are borderline like me. Yeah, they were actually Kiwis, but they say they're Australian. Have you gotten your citizenship yet?

Did we get that done? I think I just, man, what are you doing, man? Pouring gasoline on the fire like that. I'm asking damn questions. He's the one asking questions. That's the law with us. Where the gas? That's the fire like that. I'm asking damn questions. He's the one asking questions. Where the guess? That's the law with asking questions. No.

Short and simple, no. Because I need to go home for that. And going home, not any time shit. All right, cool. I've answered this, but the 90% want to know your takes.

Yeah, this is before I moved to my house. You're popular. Very popular. Yeah. So, we were doing things big. That's like the whole school in East Texas. So, we had jet skis, we had boats, we had a double-decker boat house. I thought you grew up in a trailer. There were jet skis?

What the fuck is going on? This was before high school. I was in a house from kindergarten to eighth grade, and then I went to high school, and then I went to the trailer. So, you downgraded to the trailer? Downgraded. What happened that made you go to the trailer? Mom got remarried. We were in the house we were at and we moved to a new town and promised to get a new house

and you know and it was and then we end up getting house later but it was polyester curtains in the Redwood deck. Sammy Kershaw was up there drinking beer with me. So anyways my girlfriend's Tom you know never really kissed a girl before don't know what's going on and so she has her best How old are you? 12 12 12 12 full-ass grown-ass man. And so they're like her friends like kissing and making out You know over there in the corner. So she's trying to match and then okay, so we end up kissing. Okay big nice How was it? It was awkward

So we ended up kissing. Okay my room, walk in my room. And next thing I know, before I turn around, she's like, you know, getting ready, jumps on my, jumps on my lap and starts making out, kissing. I panic. I have a full blown panic attack. I would too. Somebody attacked me like that. Throw her off, put her on the bed, go grab NFL Blitz in 10-0-64. Pfft, pfft, pfft. Pfft. Pfft.

Pfft. Pfft. Pfft. And she goes, what the hell is the matter with you? Please. Pfft. Pfft. Pfft.

Next week at school at the whole school, no. Pfft. Pfft. What were they doing? It was awkward. Yeah. It's like in a Disney movie where they're all at the locker just like doing this.

This son of a bitch told everybody. And then luckily I went to new high school the next, the following year. Yes. I think we all have similar stories. Every time you tell that story. I had a... It never fails. I don't think I've told my version of that. It wasn't as funny as that, but I was at homecoming dance with a girl that I liked freshman year, high school. Did you ask her to dance?

I mustered up the courage to ask her to dance, but it was after all of her friends told me that she was into me and all that. So I was pretty confident. We're dancing, having a good time. And she's like, Oh, you want to go to the dugout? Why don't we go to the dugout? We're having fun dancing. I thought he liked baseball. Not even the baseball. There's not even a game going on. Oh man.

We were cool, man. You guys are the best, man. You guys are the best. We got to do a rapid fire. You got to do your doppelganger like in pre- like who, when, like who are the best, man. You guys are the best. We gotta do a rapid fire. You gotta do your doppelganger, like, in preg. Like, who does Pam Mahomes look like? Man, I'm trying to think. I can tell you one people I do know, like, Gino.

Stout looks like Gino Ooyama. Yeah, yeah. It's a good call. I'm trying to think of some other guys. I know I'm putting you on the spot here. Goddard looks like the Geico caveman when it takes off. See? See? Oh my gosh.

Can you imagine coming to a locker room with this guy? That's so accurate. Ferraris like Mike Wazowski from Soli's Dom. They do have some more look-alikes. Connor kind of looks like the Kramer a little bit. Dude, dead on Kramer. That was actually a picture that somebody had made with Connor as Kramer. He kind of looks like the boxer from like, was it Cinderella Man that Russell Crowe fought.

Yeah, I'd have to get some time but definitely got some good ones. Sorry guys, I couldn't reveal all my talent. No, it's good. It's good. You nailed it. You got any good stories? Not as good as those, bro. Those are for me stories.

So you just... I was a boring kid, bro. The first girl you hooked up with went perfectly fine and you were smooth as shit. I wasn't smooth as shit. It wasn't as awkward as that. Fuck. I mean, Jesus Christ. Guys, thank God you guys turned out alright.

The school dance is the first awkward thing. You get everybody's country songs and then they put the rap songs in there and then you get the chaperones, too close, too close, too close. All the guys are over there, you gonna talk to her? You gonna talk? No, no, I'm gonna chill over here. And then nobody's really dancing, then they put on the song to the left, to the left, to the right.

That's like everybody's initiation. And everybody's, oh I can do this, that back to time. That's it, that's it. That's the initiation of dance to the average white man. Yeah, we didn't listen to that stuff, so. Oh yeah, what was your? Like I didn't know, I never went. Yeah, I was a good kid. I could not even tell you an Australian song

We definitely listen to American songs. We just I never went out you ever listen to Keith Urban I mean, he's also I know there's no one else underage But once I got to 18, that's when wait what we went out Yeah, you never went out where it's parties like any house parties You never went to a dance until you were over 18? The dances that we had, yeah I didn't go to a formal. No? I know you went to church and you sang at church. Nobody danced at church? No, you can't dance at church. You ever been to the south?
