We’ve also got US Women’s Soccer legends, Alex Morgan and Kelley O’Hara! We get their take on the US hosting the World Cup, what it’s really like to play for the national team, and they’ll take some penalty kicks against maybe the greatest center turned goalie in US Soccer history.

Yeah
God these people get it
We got some 92 percenters in this motherfucker
Again, please, earmuffs kids.
Earmuffs.
If you were wondering why they sent two Gibranes like us to Los Angeles for the FIFA World Cup,
we have a picture to show you guys where all this originated.
Look at that.
Man, those DMOs were not developed.
Sniper on the roof.
Sniper on the roof.
Jason, before Instagram was a legit thing, had the pose down perfect.
That's right, that's right.
He knew, he knew hand, hand on the knee.
This was very, very joy.
George Washington-esque going across the Delaware.
And yes, our dad did take this photo.
This is in our night living room.
So shout out to Mom for the nice wallpaper background.
And shout out to Big Ed Kelsey capturing those memories as kids.
This place got louder for you, Mom.
Uncle Don and Joan, we got them all in the house.
That's good.
Thank you for the photo, Mom.
Oh, East Side Kickers.
Really happy you got that photo over to the team, Mom.
Appreciate it.
We also have, it's also not a lot of time.
our first time in LA. Last year, I was on an assignment out here working for ESPN, and I had a
mishap down at Venice Beach. We have some footage. I sat. A mishap? I sat down. It just fell to
the wetness. I don't know what it is, and I think that that's the thing that's more concerning.
Oh, what the... That didn't come to me. You guys, you Los Angeles have seen this every day of
your lives, but I don't see this often. I think I got the authentic Venice Beach.
experience. That's what I feel like.
Well, you've got to get some
context. Rest assured, we are
within 80%
confidence that it was in mango smoothie.
I don't know, man.
I don't know. I'd seen a mango smoothie, man.
I also maybe just talked myself into that.
That was a very unfortunate
to miss out.
Also, by the way, those white things are showers.
I didn't even know that at the time.
I went straight to the sink.
God knows that that
guy back there is thinking just another day in the park it looks like standard
Wednesday well well that's absolutely ridiculous hopefully our time here is a little bit
better than your mango smoothie situation last bit of new news when new heights
premieres our fifth season next September we will officially thank you thank you it's crazy
already five five years of this thing man we're gonna be starting this thing up we're
excited for what the new year has for us but it will
be, we'll officially hit our 200 episode.
It was nuts hitting the 100 mark and 200 seems pretty fucking nuts.
It's wild.
It really is.
It feels like we just started this, you know, what, three years ago?
It feels like we just started yesterday.
And now we're doing it in front of a crowd like this.
It's really remarkable.
It's crazy how far it's come.
You guys make this a dream we could have ever even dreamt and we really do appreciate you guys.

And look at us now.
How about that?
We're live, baby.
Way less great beer.

for you tonight. Yes, we do. Yes, we do. Should we get started with our first guest, Trev?
I think we need to get this thing rocking. You guys are in for a doozy. Our first guest is
six-foot-three actor, writer, and producer from the University of Southern California. He's got
three proud-time Emmys, two S-Bs, a Spike TV's guy's shorts award for funniest mofo, the
Mark Twain, prize for humor, and he also won the 2022 MLS Cup for your L-AFC!
Oh, yeah!
You know him from his seven-season on SNL, Anchorman, Talent Day and I had old school semi-back!
Had some kick on it.
Yeah, that had a lot of kick on that.
Crank those soft of go.
Look at this.
Wait, two shitheads from Fifth Amendment, and you guys built this.
This is insane.
And you're here.
For all these other shitheads.
which I am one of those shit.
Let's go!
If you build this, they will come.
It's the only time any of these people will ever come to live theater.
Right?
This is a bit of a classy situation.
This is a classy joint.
Did you guys realize it's going to be such a classy joy?
I don't think the Orphium Theater knew what they were getting into.
No, no.
Hopefully we get them right to happen.
Were you guys in the plays at high school at all?
Did you high school theater?
I did not.
I did.
You guys would have been amazing.
I would have loved to, honestly.
We were just playing sports.
I did do swim cadets.
Was that like synchronized swimming?
It was synchronized swimming.
Yes.
And they would recruit.
Male cadets.
Yeah.
They would recruit guys.
You have a military component as well?
A little bit.
The woman who ran it was very militaristic.
Yeah.
Very militant.
But they would recruit guy cadets and we would run skits in between while the ladies were setting up for their next show.
So me and my buddies just go out there on this pool deck.
Swim cadets.
Yes.
You guys got to bring that back.
You should see this guy in a Speedo.
Oh.
We don't need to bring that back.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm not afraid to rock a Speedo.
Did anyone rock a Speedo down in Venice when you were down there?
Oh, yeah.
Tons of Speedos.
It looked great, too.
Yeah, they look great.
They're very aerodynamic.
It's funny, the key to a Speedo, after three minutes, you forget you have a speedo on.
It's fantastic.
Those three minutes
Those three minutes
It's torture
A lot of looks
This metal torture
Lot of looks
I got
I had a buddy who's for his 50th birthday party
He had he did a like a three day party
And it was near the ocean
I brought a speedo
I changed speedos
Every three hours
So I come out in a different speedo
Yeah
And it divided people on a comedy line
Oh interesting
Yes
Who's into it
Half the crowd was like, that is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Keep the Speedos coming.
Other people were like, please stop.
Please stop.
We get it.
Does the three minutes of the Speedo, does it happen every time you put on a new Speedo?
No, one.
It's just about the first speedo.
You can break the seal.
You're good to go.
Dude, you've had a crazy, crazy year, brother.
Look at that.
We got a little bit of a sport court up here.
We got a sport court going on up here.
Dude, you've had a big summer.
You've had a huge summer.
Obviously, we've seen you at the Kings games, the Lakers games.
Talladega Knights is 20th year anniversary.
Hosting the season finale, S&L.
Season finale, SNL.
Oh, my gosh.
Are you the busiest man in Hollywood?
No.
Not even close.
No.
Where does New Heights rank among the how busy?
This is...
Are we up there?
New Heights.
You guys are definitely up there.
Yeah!
You guys are definitely up there.
He's a people pleaser.
No, I make it look like I'm busy, but I got...
It's the best kind of busy right there.
Yeah.
More cowbell.
How does it feel the 20th anniversary of Talladega Nights coming up?
What is that?
That feels like it went by in the blink of an eye.
It's kind of incredible to have a film like that, you know, resonate with so many people.
And Talladega Nights was a knee-jerk-jerk-reaty-react.
action to how hard Anchorman got was to get made.
Yeah.
No one wanted to make that movie.
And I said to Adam, my writing partner, I said, gosh, we should just pick a topic that's
really popular and just build something.
Like, for instance, like, everyone loves NASCAR.
Yeah.
We should just write a NASCAR comedy.
He called me back five minutes.
He's like, that's not a bad idea.
And that, we sold that in two seconds.
And then, I mean, two guys who knew nothing about motorsports.
and we write the seminal movie on NASCAR.
It seemed like you knew everything about NASCAR.
We were surrounded by a lot of good people.
I was all in the place.
It's crazy, right?
It's crazy.
It's absolutely crazy. The boulevard, everything down there.
Did you drive a car?
I handed gas cans in.
I drove a car at Charlotte Motorspe.
Jason won a championship.
I did win a race.
You did.
Well, Corey Day technically won the race, but I was a part of the team.
But you were the gas man.
I was the back, I was the handoff to the gasman.
Will, he had a one-zee-on.
Did he dedicate his win to you?
He did.
He actually insisted that I keep coming back, and I unfortunately had to retire immediately.
By the way, when we were rehearsing for the movie, we were like, okay, we want this to be as real as possible.
So we did pit crew training.
So you, that was, that was my, going to be my question.
And I was, because Ricky Bobby was a Jackman.
That's an underrated job.
Underrated.
It's so hard.
And all the guys who are tire changers, they were looking for defensive backs, college football players.
Yes.
Because you have to be super fast, strong, move around quickly.
I was like, this is the hardest thing.
What are we doing?
Absolutely.
I think now on the monologue, they want to change four tires, refuel the car, do all of that in under nine seconds.
Which is just like mind-blowing to think about.
And they're each doing different.
And with you, it's more like a 25-second?
I think it was nine seconds for me to hand the gas kit.
Yes.
And spilled a lot of gas.
All the tires are on the wheel already?
It's an incredibly hard thing.
The dedication to those guys have.
And like you just said, many of them are, like, former collegiate athletes, football players.
They have coaches that are coaching them and watching the footage with them.
It's pretty remarkable what they do down there in the pitch.
There would have been nothing happier for me to see than for you to just absolutely
eat shit with that fucking gas can.
I wanted you to go viral
for throwing the gas can at the car.
Yeah.
And Talladega,
if any race fans know this
fun fact about Talladega Motor Speedway,
it's the only racetrack that has its own what?
Shaking bag.
That's a lot of shake and bake.
It does have that.
It's the only raceway that has its own car.
Jail.
Oh.
Yeah.
That's how you know they have fun.
That's how you know they have fun.
That's a compliment.
Yeah.
I only know one other place that has a jail at an event like that.
And that's the Philadelphia of the Eagles' Lincoln Financial Field.
Yeah, Veterans Field famously, the Eagles old stadium had a jail underneath the stadium.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
One in the same.
Yeah.
And you win.
You win at both.
I do want to, is there what?
So you have the Hawk coming out.
Yes.
July 16.
Yes.
The Hawk.
The Hawk.
Yeah.
Lonnie, the Hawk, Hawkins.
Why do you enjoy doing sports comedies so much?
What is it about?
I think, obviously, I grew up, you know, one of the best things my mother ever did for me
was sign me up for AYSO soccer when I was, how about it?
Eight years old.
Kicking and screaming.
There were you up.
And that was the first time I was involved in team sports.
I kind of hated it at first and then I, but anyway, from that point on,
I loved playing sports, I loved being on a team and it led to loving, I think,
working in film, working on an ensemble show like Saturday Night Live where it's all about teamwork.
And then obviously that's what I thought I was going to do prior to going into comedy was be a sportscaster.
So I think it's always an easy reference point for me in terms of combining two things I love.
And this was just a great opportunity to kind of send up golf and the PGA in a way that hadn't really been done before.
And Netflix just kind of let us make a very fun old school comedy with horribly unredeemable character.
That's what Lonnie is the total narcissist
Who only wants to win
And he's yeah
So you just said you went into NASCAR
Not knowing much about NASCAR
Right
How much golf has the hawk been playing
The hawks been playing a fair amount of golf
I'm a 17 handicap
Why are laughing
We're not far off
Where are you guys?
He's lower.
Probably a 10.
You're a 10, okay.
I'm probably like a 15.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You and I.
You give us strokes.
Deal.
Yeah.
Deal.
But no, yeah, I've gotten a little bit better.
That'd be a dream golf round.
I'm good enough.
I'm good enough to film myself swinging a golf club.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I love it.
So the Hawk is, do we know when it's coming out?
July 16th.
Oh!
It's right around the fucking corner.
Great cast, Molly Shannon, Chris Parnell from S&L, Luke Wilson,
Fortune Feimster.
Yeah, we got to shoot it here in L.A., and we just had the best time.
That's awesome, man.
Shout out to Netflix, July 16th, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm going to be something.
I really wanted to talk to you, even when we had you on New Heights, about my guy,
fellow tight end Mike Dicca in kicking his screen oh Mike is that man as intense as he
seems coach was the best but yes I witnessed his hip pop out of joint my gosh yes
while we were filming and then the medic came and popped it back in and then I
said coach you want to just shut it down he's like no we're good couple ladville and uh let's just
keep let's just keep let's just keep me another cup of coffee and we'll be good yeah but uh he threw himself
into that he was uh he was so fun and funny and i mean he just had to be Mike dicka yeah
uh which was such a funny move that that that's who i get to be my assistant coach um and ordering around
i don't know how you kept it together dude I would have
First of all, I don't know how you look at my dick at not.
Oh, he would, I could scream it in him, and then we yell cut, and he'd just crack up.
But I was like, the only way I can do that is I know that we're acting.
Because if I, I mean, this in real life, you would punch me in the face.
But he'd have us at his place in Chicago.
In fact, we were there having a dinner because we did some promotional stuff in Chicago, and he's like, Will, come with me.
And he walked, he took me from our dinner.
we walked into this banquet room,
we walked into someone's wedding reception.
No, you crashed away.
And the groom is giving a toast,
and he just goes, anyway, Barbara,
I love you so much and your family.
Oh, my God, Will Ferrell and Mike Dick
at the walkout.
And he starts sweating.
And I'm like, hey, how you doing?
Sorry, coach brought me in here.
He's like, what are you guys doing here?
He's like, hey, how's everyone doing?
You have a great time?
And then he's like,
I love doing that.
Come on, let's go back.
What a legend.
Just stuff like that, you can't...
Yeah.
You do seem like...
You'd love to do that type of stuff.
Yeah, everyone is like the referee.
You're kicking check out.
Right, right, right, right.
Some of the kings are in this year, right?
Last Christmas, I just, uh, I dress as a disheveled down and out Buddy the Elf.
Yes, yes.
Yeah.
Action.
I do remember that.
With a lit cigarette.
and people were like,
this is why I love the NHL.
Other people got mad at me.
No, buddy, what's wrong with buddy?
He can't be sad.
Yeah, he can't be too sad.
The world outside of the North Pole.
Oh, no, this year I dressed as a full referee.
I did a, and I just had a helmet,
that's a little ref outfit, and just imitated the refs.
Yes.
During the game.
Yes.
Talk to me.
them in between the periods they loved it this is great no one pays attention to us ever but you forget
they got to skaters they got to skate backwards too seriously yeah yeah then they got to stay out of the
way of the park they got to see what's they're gonna break up flights you guys would make good
roughs i think second second career yeah yeah and they show ruffs i mean that's not a bad
retirement were you guys skaters at all did you skate we were after the swim cadets they get
right after fucking at practice.
Actually, they would just freeze the pool
when we get out there.
We both played hockey growing up.
Yeah.
See, I see that.
We got out there, yeah.
I loved every king's being here.
I had a fucking blast.
Yeah, we didn't really have.
Hockey didn't come to L.A. until much later.
Pro beach hockey did, though.
I remember what was that.
Pro beach hockey.
That was the league I wanted to play.
Pro beach hockey in Speedos.
Roller Blade.

Just throwing it out there.
What's the best burger out here in L.A.?
Definitely.

Animal style.
But I just heard about a great place

I mean, I'm in for the theme alone.
Burger, yeah.
Another amazing Mexican place that borders on seafood
is a place called Hobash.
Anyone been to Hobosh?
It's down near the USC campus.
Michelin Star, like, Cevice, incredible.
It's got the marshmallow man plaque out front?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's got the plaque.

huge because he eats so much and he knows where all the good places are the guy I trust yeah he
trust the Michelin man it knows yeah I do have you ever been to frank in it up that's frank in it

All right.
Favorite tourist trap?
Favorite tourist trap is Airwine.
Airwine.
There was a number.
I need the collagen, I need the collagen.
It has real chunks of gold in it.
I sifted it into chunks of gold.
I found gold in my smoothie.
It's making me younger.
I can feel it.
We got a funny one on here.
You know what's another good tourist trap?
Are the Hollywood tour vans that go...
Oh, I'm all in on that kind of stuff.
I love pulling up to one of those.
Oh yeah, this is gold.
I'll take off my sunglasses and just be like,
hey, see anyone famous yet?
And the whole bus will go, I don't know,
whee!
I just pull away.
I just like, v-h-h-hose-h
head on down Lossiena or wherever, yeah.
It's so epic.
You think you'll see anyone famous
or I'll pull up and go, it's all lies,
everything he said to you.
a lie
Madonna does not live there
What's the worst place anyone's ever caught you?
Like...
Wait, worst place anyone ever caught me?
Yeah, caught you. Caught you red-handed, like at an earworm?
You're red-handed?
Not you red-handed? Yeah.
In the alley behind the or field of the air?
Been caught a lot. Yeah.
That's what happens when you can't read, ladies and gentlemen.
and shit comes out that you wish you could have back in a live show.
And yes, I've been caught in the back of the Orphean Theater as well.
Oh, that's so good.
All right, Jason.
Let's get back on the time.
Do you have one thing?
Do you have one thing you tell out of town that out of towner should do?
There's a lot of people not from L.A. potentially here.
Is there something they have to do while they're in L.A.?
You've got to go to the...
Hollywood Wax Museum
and check out my star
on the walk of the next.
Right there.
In front.
That's where it is.
Yeah, that's prime real estate.
Yes, right there.
I'm usually there three times a week.
Just shining that thing up.
With some turtle wax, just buffing it.
You got to buffer that thing once a week.
I got to buffer it.
I mean, we have amazing beaches.
We have, L.A. has great places to hike if you're into hiking, like Runyon Canyon, Franklin, all these places.
What else?
If you want to get caught, the alibi in your field is a real must.
Especially if you're from a foreign land.
And I'll meet you back there.
you back there. You know, we'll all get caught together.
Gosh.
You got it, Jason?
Terrified. Terrified to read anything else.
He's terrified.
Do you have a welcome to L.A. Moment?
He's from here.
Well, yeah. I mean, I grew up in Orange County.
Yeah, Jason. I'm from Orange County.
Now it's back on me.
Yeah.
So, I remember, I remember, so we would, if you grew up in Orange County,
you take field trips up to LA.
So I remember going to the La Brea Tar Pits as a kid.
That was pretty cool.
That's awesome.
There we go.
Young Will Ferrell out of Irvine.
Yeah.
Looking at dinosaur bones in the tarpits?
Come on. Sign me up.
Doesn't get more LA than that.
Yeah.
Is it true? Okay, we do have Colin Jost told us a story.
He said that you brought a brief cave, briefings.
of cash to your audition with Lorne.
Is this a true story?
I brought a brief, yeah, I brought a briefcase to a meeting with Lauren Michaels full of
of fake cash, not real cash.
It was counterfeit money I found at a toy store because I was going to bribe him to get me on the show.
So I had walked into this meeting and I was going to, like what comedian walks in with a briefcase, but I walked in, I walked in, I was going to, I walked in, I was.
I was just going to start stacking money on his desk and just say,
Lauren, we can talk till the cows come home.
We all know what really talks, cash money.
And I'm going to walk out of your office.
You can take it or you can leave it, but I suggest you put me on the show.
Anyway, I was too nervous to do it.
It was too frightening.
And I just sat there with a briefcase.
And I could never pull the trigger.
And I had this really intense, intimidating meeting with him where he actually was kind of coaching me as to, because I had a callback the next day.
He was kind of telling me what I should do and not do.
And then I just walked out going, I must have looked like such an asshole with a briefcase.
And then the meeting where he finally told me I had the job, I brought the briefcase again.
But the assistant said, you can leave your briefcase.
You don't need to put it in there.
So then he finally told me I got hired and I walked out and I said to the assistant,
like, I've been carrying around this fake money for six weeks now.
Can you hand can you give him some and say thank you?
And he actually thought it was very funny in hindsight that I was trying to do this joke that
he would have never laughed.
But yeah, that was that was partly true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Speaking of intense moments, is it true that you once did skits for the OJ jury in between sessions?
Yeah, we did.
When I was at the Groundlings Theater here on Melrose, I was part of the company at that time when the OJ trial was going on, and we were like, oh, these poor people are sequestered.
So let's go do comedy for them.
in a courtroom and
performed on some Saturday
in bad fluorescent lighting
in L.A.
County court.
Did you cheers to people up?
Was it just snail?
I think they enjoyed it.
It was so bizarre.

Let's get to our next guess.
Let's keep it moving.
We got our next guess.
As we said, we have some World Cup royalty.
Our next guess are former members of the U.S. women's national team.
They are Olympic gold medalists, three-time Kaka Cap women's champions.
They've combined for three NWSL championships.
And have it combined, they have scored over 100 goals in international play.
90 percenters please welcome to two-time world cup champions kelly o'hella and Alex Morgan
thank you so much you doing it's already climbed up for you it's got a little pick to it so
Alex what's going on thank you so much in doing this i told you had a little kid you nothing like a little
t-shirt thing and how about it i've never done that before yeah that's very fun thank you
92 percent of how we feel it out there we got some world cup gold here how about that
What's up guys?
All right.
We have you guys here.
Fresh off of a USA, like,
performance of all performance.
Big win.
It felt like a World Cup final.
Like, we just kept scoring goals, and it was insane.
So we're winning it all, right?
100%.
After all the other results, I feel very confident.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What do you think, from you guys' standpoint,
watching that game,
what really stood out to you as experts
in the game. They just looked
good. Like the possession of the ball, the
breaking lines, like
they were taking on the
back line, but also like passing when they
needed to, and it just
looked good. Like it was good
football. It was, I was, genuinely
I watched the game and I was like, dang,
that's some of the best football I've ever seen them play.
And I was like, they look confident,
they look cohesive. And they look creative.
Come on, guys!
Like, no, they did everything right.
they needed to in that game. And, I mean, we've both been in World Cups and we know, like,
that first game, you have the nerves, you got to start strong. And that performance was like,
okay, we got a chance here. I love it. I love it. Yeah. Well, I'll say it's about time. The men
started acting like the U.S. women out here, starting to play some footballs and soccer. How about it?
We want the boys to win. We're behind them all the way. Yeah. 100%.
You know, how are, so, Alex, you were at the game?
I was at the game. Were you there as well?
Kansas City.
She was going to come.
She was going to come, and she prioritized coming to the show.
You were feet on the ground.
Yeah, yeah.
I was boots on the ground.
In Kansas City, watch party.
Yeah, it was electric, as you like to say.
So how are the fans right now?
Was it as crazy as you would have imagined it to be being World Cup in America?
Yeah, I mean, if the fans weren't hyped up enough before, then they are now.
Like, that game, I think, like, turned everyone into fans.
Like, we're turning on all the games or we're watching the U.S. win here.
Yeah, I feel like that's what's so cool about the World Cup is that obviously in the stadium and experience, right?
But like across the country, all the cities turn up.
They have their watch parties.
I was in Kansas City, Power and Light District.
And yeah, we got Kansas City fans in here.
Yeah, obviously.
We got any Kansas City fans in here?
Just making sure.
Just making sure.
And Kansas City knows how to party.
Come on now.
Very much so.
Come on now.
I'm glad you're bringing up the Kansas City party that you were at because there's a clip that we want to play.
One of my problems, so I went to the World Cup in Brazil when the men played, and one of the things that stood out is how behind we are as a nation with chanting.
Okay.
I feel like...
I saw this rant from you on.
How does it feel on your end when I'm ranting about a game that I have no expertise in?
Well, you're not necessarily ranting about the game.
You're ranting about the chant.
That's right.
Like you are...
That's fair for you to do, you know, as a fan.
Well, you encountered something that I think has some potential.
Can we play this clip real quick?
I agree.
Yeah.
George Washington.
How are you?
George what?
How are you?
I'm living a dream.
We just won the opener.
How are you feeling on a scale of one to ten?
A ten.
We're bringing it home.
Ask George Washington.
What would you want to say to the team tonight?
13 stripes, 50 stars.
We don't care who the fuck you are.
I feel like that's our chant.
That's our chad this year.
George did not mince words, you know?
Can we get this chant going right now?
You guys in?
Do we got it?
13 stripes, 50 stars.
We don't care who the fuck you are.
Surprise we got that that quick, to be honest with you.
I know, because it's like which ones come, the stars, the stripes?
No, stripes first.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yes, yes.
Once you do that, it's good.
How do you guys feel so far that the United States is doing as a host nation?
I keep seeing all these awesome videos of people experiencing.
experiencing a lot of genuine American things for the first time.
I live in Philadelphia.
Ecuador completely took over the Philadelphia Eagles Stadium.
There's just something about the World Cup that feels so much bigger than really any other sporting event.
How do you feel like the U.S. is doing so far?
I think really good.
I think there was a lot of criticism leading up to the World Cup.
Yeah.
But like your experience in Philly in San Diego, Switzerland.
Switzerland has their home base there, and I play paddle or Padel a couple times a week.
I'm obsessed with it.
Yes.
So if you guys haven't played, you got in there we go.
I'm in.
He's done for the first time.
Look out.
Seriously, that was really impressive, actually.
I was like, oh, Jason's really athletic.
He got Alex.
He's not just fat.
He played professional football.
But yeah, having them out at.
the paddle club that I'm a part of, like, in San Diego.
Like, they want to experience things.
So it's not just the fans.
It's like the teams as well.
So I think we're doing a pretty damn good job.
Awesome.
Love it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, I think we all had a little bit of anxiety around the World Cup coming to the U.S.
ahead of it, just not knowing how things were going to go.
You know, there were questions around host cities and stadiums and tickets and all the stuff.
But it seems like everybody.
who's coming here is having such good time.
And I was so excited for the U.S. to welcome people
and to show them the U.S.
and I feel like that's actually happening.
So I'm pumped on that.
Love it. Love to hear from two pros here.
All right, can we throw it back to the first time?
You guys were in the World Cup.
We actually have some pictures here.
If you don't remember exactly, you can go ahead and check on it.
How about it?
Look at the pink.
The pink...
Was that a quarter zip?
Those were my least favorite jersey.
To get those over your head
And as a woman doing your hair, you're like, okay, now I got to redo it.
It looks like, I don't know, what do we call those jerseys?
It were.
It wasn't, it wasn't good.
It wasn't good at all.
Yeah, yeah, we were.
We just, does this, it happens for you guys when you're on your team.
Like, you get presented with the jersey, and they're like, use the jersey on van.
Oh, and you're like, you have all the cameras and you're expected to like, you're like, oh, those are so sick.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just we had to be like, okay.
These are fucking sweet.
I was also not a good white-on-white guy.
I needed a dark up-top white bottom.
I needed to look nice and slim on the upper section.
If I was white-old, I just looked like the Michelin, man, like we were talking about earlier.
It wasn't a good look.
Oh, we're going to unveil white-on-white jersey.
He's great.
The room is the most insecure about his stomach.
It's the best.
Every all of its alignment is miserable on game day when it's white-on-white.
Just letting you know.
We got one more pick up here.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
This was probably my three.
15 minutes of
whatever the opposite of fame is.
I went to this World Cup as
an alternate. Like, I did
not make the team. I got cut. And then
Pia called and was like, somebody got injured and she said,
we need you. I'm just letting you know
you're coming as a bench
warmer, like a cheerleader,
and a training player. And I was like...
Soccer is fucking aggressive.
Well, I was like Pia say less.
Like, that's all... Like, I'm okay with that. Like, I'm
down to go to the World Cup. So I get to Jersey?
Yeah, no, basically. Basically.
And so these 15 minutes that I got in the game were the worst 15 minutes of my life.
And I, yeah, it didn't go well.
But we prevailed, so that's okay.
Yeah.
My first World Cup experience wasn't like this one.
But me and Kelly, I think we've gone to every major tournament virtually together,
ever since 2011, 2010.
You guys had like a great core group of players that were together for a long time.
How was it to be able to build that chemistry?
And then, Alex, what was it like when you first got your call to join the national team?
What is that call like?
It was the very first campus, Kelly.
And then a couple months later, we got our first caps the same week, Kelly in sunny San Diego.
I was warming up on the sideline for 90 minutes and never got the call.
And I think the coach forgot to tell me to like sit down.
Like we were out of subs, but I was still warming up.
We were out of subs.
You're still warming up.
Yeah.
She forgot about me.
We're going to say.
We're going to say.
So then, no chance.
We go to Salt Lake City, and it's 10 degrees and snowing.
And dumping snow.
Before U.S. soccer, doing great, treats the teams.
Well, back then, could care less about a snow plower or any sort of way to get the snow off the field.
That was my first cap.
I'm from California.
Never played in the snow.
Two feet of snow.
Didn't know what the hell I was doing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And walked off the field, and the coach said, that was so funny.
We were laughing at you the whole time.
And it was, yeah, not a great.
You did Snow Angels.
You're on for that, right?
That was my most memorable moment.
I did Snow Angel when Abby scored.
Yeah, for celebration.
Epic.
Epic.
Got a love a good selling.
Very fitting, yes.
How did it compare from playing in the World Cup to the Olympics?
Is it similar?
Does it change a lot?
Just curious from us.
Everybody asks.
Everybody always is like, what's better, World Cup or Olympics?
but the reality is they're completely different.
Like World Cup is, yeah, World Cup, the whole world stops
and watches soccer, football for four weeks.
Right.
Olympics, you're on Team USA,
and you feel like your teammates with these other athletes
that are competing in all these different sports.
So very different feelings.
For me, when I was growing up, Olympics was like the thing.
I didn't really, I was, I liked soccer,
but my first vision of, like, female athletes
was Olympics.
The 1996 gymnastics team, I was like, I'm going to do that.
And so for me, like, winning a gold medal was so cool.
But then I understood, like, the gravity and the, you know, how amazing a World Cup win was when we went to 2015.
But, yeah, I agree.
I also want to say, like, for the Women's World Cup, like, the first World Cup was in 91 for the women.
The first World Cup for men dates back 100 years.
Plus.
Farther back than 91.
So for us growing, yeah.
So for us growing up, Olympics was definitely more memorable because that's what we see,
we saw women doing on TV, like playing sports.
That was the only time we got to see women playing sports.
Right.
Yeah.
Obviously, like 99 was huge for me as a little girl playing soccer.
But, yeah, for sure.
But the 1996 Olympics was the first time I remember seeing female athletes on television.
Gotcha.
And so that was why I was like, Olympics is the thing.
I want to be an Olympian.
I'm going to be an Olympian.
How do you guys feel?
Do you wish that American football was in the Olympics?
Wait, flag football.
Yeah.
Flag football is going.
We just found out.
Are you coming out of retirement for flag football?
Because after that, come on.
Dude, you could be a wide receiver now.
Unfortunately, I don't know that my skill set,
translates to flag football very well.
Okay, you are very athletic.
We just saw it.
Well, we had the Hawk helping them out.
I would say this.
We just kind of found out that American flag football is a little different skill set
than the actual football.
The flag team just beat a bunch, like Tom Brady and a bunch of former NFL players.
So that is a different game.
It's a different skill set a little bit.
It's like mostly running.
Yeah, it's much more.
Yeah, not enough big guys out there imposing their will.
Right.
You know what I mean?
I'm like a lot.
I don't know enough about it to really speak too much,
but it does appear that it's much more agility-based.
Yes.
These guys know the techniques on how to, like, swivel their hips
and not get the flag pulled, so they have a leg up and all that.
I do know a lot of NFL guys do want to play.
It'll be interesting to see who makes the American football flag football team.
I do, I will say unequivocally,
I think every NFL player is very jealous of all the other sports
they get to represent their country.
Because that is something that, like, we love watching.
Just like you, Kelly, just like you, Alex.
We grew up watching these moments in the Olympics.
And, like, it was so cool seeing people represent their country
on the international stage, whether it was a World Cup, Olympics, whatever.
It was, those were some of the biggest moments from our childhood.
And unfortunately, I mean, there's a lot of perks to full.
football, that is one downside. Even more is that the Summer Olympics are always right during our
training camp. So that's like kind of the bonding that we have throughout camp to where we're like,
as soon as we go off the field, we go straight over to the TV and everybody's huddle around the TV
watching all the games going on and rooting for America in that way. So without a doubt,
jealous that we don't get to represent the country in that way. But I guess never say never.
You still have a chance. You might translate.
Listen, I'll create the annexation of Puerto Rico. I'll coach some guys up.
I might not have the hips to swivel around and nobody touched my flag, but I'll make the catch.
I'll make the catch.
He's got smooth hips.
What's that?
Handball is another one.
I can't throw.
I don't know if you saw me try and throw a baseball last year.
All right.
I went viral.
I think I saw that.
He didn't go too well for me.
I was pretty bad.
Yeah, it was real bad.
Oh, way.
My dad wasn't very proud.
He taught me way better than that.
Oh, gosh.
Did you practice at all?
because I've thrown out of first pitch and I'm like
week before buying the glove, the ball
like I'm practicing. I should have did that.
You got to get it over the plate. It really doesn't
surprise me in the slightest by you.
I didn't. I thought it was just
like riding a bike.
And it would just come right back to me.
And it didn't.
All right, we're going to get back on track.
Yeah. Of all the World Cup
moments, what are your guys' favorite
moments?
Winning.
Yeah. Hey.
I hear that.
That sums it up pretty good.
Next question.
Do you guys have like a favorite host city out of the World Cup?
I mean, Paris.
Which one was the roundiest?
Paris, when we played France in the quarterfinals,
2019 World Cup, that was an insane game to play.
Yeah.
Like I remember, so we're playing the host country in Paris.
And I remember, I don't know if you,
when we ran out to the field,
so like you warm up on either side of the field,
when we ran out, we were warming.
we do part of our warm-up bar at the beginning of the warm-up
on like a sideline.
And in front of where we were warming up,
and that's like the most time in a warm-up
where you're really taking things in, probably.
It was all-Americans, all-American flags, all-American, like, all-Americans.
And so I was like, oh, my God, we're rock in this place.
Like, we own this.
It was all of her parents.
Yeah, like, literally.
But then I hear after the game,
and like, once the whistle blows, I'm locked in,
I'm not really paying attention.
After the game, from all of our friends and family,
they were like, no, no, no, no.
That was this small of the stadium.
everything else was France and they were all scared for us because they were just like we are outnumbered here and it was all France but it was an insane game it was the most fun and we won
winning is fun checks out is there anything since soccer football as it is internationally known everywhere else is on the world stage right now is there something you want people that are taking in for the first time what do you want people to take away
while they're watching World Cup for the first time maybe,
or just getting into the sport.
I feel like a lot of people knock soccer
because they're like it's slow and there's not a lot of goals.
Like, you know, football, your football.
It's like you run over the line and you get six points,
but it's really like one point.
There have been games where I haven't even scored six points.
Right, yeah.
You can say that about every game.
Yeah, so, you know, some football games are actually like three,
you know, if you did soccer.
So, I mean, it's true.
Like, you're like, oh my God, 21 to 28.
She's not lying.
So, and like, yeah, that's fun.
Yeah, but.
So should soccer points be worth 10?
Maybe, you know.
And then it'd be like, they're scoring so much.
Oh, my God. That's such a good point.
Yeah.
But it's a beautiful game.
It's a game that, you know, the culture around it is,
so
I think inviting
and exciting
and like different right
all these different countries bring a different
element when they're cheering for their teams they got their different
chance they have their different rituals
traditions and it's just
cool like I think that sports is one of
the most uniting things that we have
and to see the World Cup
yeah like the World Cup is that
but like everybody
and that's my favorite part about it
what do you think
it does
feel like the U.S. is really, just their appetite for soccer, women's and men's, continues
to get bigger and bigger every year. What do you think is the best way to continue to promote the
game within the states? Like, just keep doing what they're doing. Like, is there something in
particular so that we can continue to kick Paraguay's ass? Like, I don't really know what they're
going to kick Paraguay's ass. We want to kick, like, Spain and France and Japan. Fair enough. Fair enough.
Yes, yes. Yes.
Yeah.
I think it's, it's all about, like, the youth system.
soccer is a sport that you really do start training as a young kid.
And I think it's like in a lot of ways been made as like a business.
And I really want the youth system that's really fractured right now to like be repaired and really harness.
Like kids like growing up and giving them opportunities, more opportunities than exist right now.
All right.
I think it's really expensive for kids to play soccer.
Well, the leagues especially, right, and all the travel and everything.
Yeah, it's hard if you especially want to play at the high level.
Yeah, I mean, in California, it's pretty much, there's a country full of kids playing soccer in the state of California.
But for some reason, every other weekend, kids are traveling all across the country to play other clubs.
It's unnecessary.
Yeah, yeah.
One of the biggest things that it, that was a part of my childhood and love of sports and fueled my fandom was inspiration.
and I know you two ladies have inspired an entire country with your play out on the pitch.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, give it up for Alex Morgan and Kelly O'Hara.

Our last guest tonight is the 6'7 tackle from LSU.
Woo!
Point-time pole bowler, three-time all-poro, 2021, Walter Payton, man of the year,
the BCS National Champion and Super Bowl champion with the Los Angeles Rams,
9-2-200-centers.
Please welcome Andrew Windwell!
Big Witt!
I find a baby, we got the big win in the home!
This is an L.A. show.
So it is going to be involving Rams.
Travis just alluded to the fourth guest.
Our next guess is the 6'4 defense event from Texas A&M.
The number one overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft,
seven-time all pro, seven-time pro bloer,
the record holder for most sacks in a single season.
What?
The reigning defensive player of the year.
No way.
No way.
Take that home to my kids.
It is so powerful.
Oh, right?
The shirt exploded.
That's how strong this man is.
For all my Rams fans in here, who's house?
There we go.
All right.
Let's have a story here.
Oh.
We got to talk about one thing first.
As two Cleveland Heights kids, be honest.
The Pacific Ocean has nothing on Lake Erie, right?
Lake Erie has this charm, but it's got nothing on the Pacific.
Fair, fair.
I'm sorry, we got the best beaches in the Midwest.
It's about the people in Lake Erie.
It's about the people.
there.
Yes, about the people.
How's it feel so far?
You've been here for what?
A month?
What?
I've been here for a day.
I got it last night.
Got it.
All right.
Got the mini camp.
Yeah?
Knockdown mini camp.
Thanks to Big Way.
It was part of the...
It was easy, right?
Yeah.
A couple meetings and canceled the rest.
It was great.
Thanks, coach.
There we go.
What are you most excited about coming to L.A.?
Hey, said it.
You can say it again.
Say it one more time.
There we go.
Winning a Super Bowl.
Well, there's another guy that moved from Ohio
won a Super Bowl when he came out to L.A.
And he's sitting right next year.
Long time, Cincinnati, Bangle, big wit.
Witt.
Is there any player that was harder to block
than the guy sitting right here?
Listen, I am very thankful
that I didn't have to take a lot of snaps
against this guy.
It's like this, Jason. You've gotten into golf.
So Miles, just bear with me here.
You've gotten into golf.
So there's no pictures on the score.
card, right? So here's how you treat it. You know this, right? If we've played one snap against you,
then technically we can say we played against you. Yes, yes. Right? So when people ask, I'm like,
listen, luckily I got out of the league. I didn't have to play against Miles much. I did play him one time
and he got one rush against me. Thank God the quarterback got rid of the ball in a second and a half.
But just like in golf, there's no pictures on the scorecard, so I can say that I did get to play
against him and he didn't get a sack, right? So that's it, right? That's it, right?
One time, one play for one second.
So he's on the list.
As I always said, there's always a list.
Who you face that didn't actually get a stat, you're like, hey, you know, technically he's on the list, even though, you know, it's a very...
Oh for one?
Yeah, oh for one.
You know what I mean?
He still goes there, though.
Well, it does appear, obviously all the fans are very happy that you're in L.A.
Another person very happy is Sean McVeigh.
We have this photo.
I don't think I've ever seen Sean McVeigh smile this one.
That is...
That's so good.
So good.
Literally, the first day Miles comes in the building and they go do all their testing and all this.
I call Sean, I'm like, hey, man, how things going, whatever, he's just glowing.
And the first thing that everybody in the building, like this guy, the freak he is, as big as he is, as well as he can move,
it's just, it's mind-boggling to watch this guy.
I mean, when you watch him play as a tackle, it's reasons I say that I'm glad I'm not playing against this guy.
For his size, his power, his ability to be.
to get off the line of scrimmage is extremely rare.
It's not something you find every single day.
So he is a rare human being who I know everybody in that building is really excited.
He's a part of this thing.
Thank you.
It really is mind-blowing.
The way you bend the corner.
It's not fair.
Yeah, it really isn't.
I still remember being with Joel Betonio up in.
We had a joint practice with you guys.
Yep.
And after practice, Joel was like, can you believe that we're playing the same game as this dude?
This is just like a completely different.
level athlete out here and we're out here trying to ball having a great time yeah dude that was and jordan is a
great player that was a rough uh practice for him i mean is there any tackle you look up in your
who are the tackles that give you the biggest issues is that fair does anybody gives me
i don't think in the last two years i've looked at anyone on the schedule and but like they're going
to give me trouble yeah that feels that must feel good because they don't
I mean, there are guys I have respect for.
Of course.
You know, I respect Trent.
I respect Jordan.
Yep.
No, my matchups with Laramie.
I mean, they're definitely guys.
I look and I'm like, all right, this is going to be a fun one.
But if not anyone I look at, I'm like, I got to do something different.
Yeah, you're just going to play your game.
I just got to be me.
Yeah.
That's a great answer.
So, back to Cleveland.
So let's talk about how great Cleveland is.
Let's talk about how amazing Cleveland is.
was for you.
No, seriously.
Have you been to the Rock Hall of Fame?
As a kid from Cleveland, and obviously to grow up being Browns fans, I just want to say
thank you for everything you did, not only for that city on the field, but off the field.
You're Walter Payton Man of the Year kind of guy, the stuff you've done in that community
to really build that community and show, make sure they felt your presence.
I've always appreciated that as a Cleveland or myself.
I know what kind of impact that has, and I just wanted to say thank you for that.
but also in terms of coming to L.A.,
have you met the scheme?
Have you met the de-coordinators?
Have you met the scheme?
Have you found out, like,
are you going to be doing crossovers
on the center this year?
We don't want to talk about that.
Give us all schematics.
Slow it down.
Just trying to get a game plan for Christmas.
They've got to write some notes down.
They say I'll be all over the tight end on Christmas.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
All right, so we're going to multiple tight ends.
You guys do have an awesome defensive line room.
It is pretty crazy.
I know, obviously, verse and you swap, but there's still Kobe Turner.
They're still fist.
They're still young.
It is a very deep room.
It's a special room.
Yeah.
Are you looking forward to working with all those guys?
Yeah, I mean, everybody at rock and roll.
And, you know, when I met the D coordinator, Shula, he was like, you know, we don't want you to be anything different.
You know, you be yourself and you help lead the guy.
Please, just be you.
23 sacks.
Don't.
Hey, we're going to the right direction.
Anything.
Different.
I'd say, I'm just happy to go out there and be myself.
I was worried they'll have me stand up, you know, maybe drop one or two times.
But now they said we're fine you at all times.
Yeah.
Oh, thank you.
God, he is not going to cover me.
No, seriously, out of the 23 sacks,
the record setting,
record breaking 23 sacks last
year. Of the
23, did you
have a favorite?
Ooh, I like this one.
Did I have a favorite?
Like, was there one you got up when you were
just like, hoo-hoo, I'm cold
as motherfucker?
That might have been
all of the Baltimore game.
Could Jason Lamar
his ass around is tough enough, but getting them four times was great.
So once I got him before the four times, I was like, well, I'm feeling myself today.
Yeah, baby.
Yeah.
There it is.
I can relate.
I once scored four touchdowns in one game.
They call that the Al Bundy.
The Al Bundy.
The old Al Bundy.
I scored a touchdown in the game.
Oh, you got a little thick six?
I have a tutty.
Thick six.
Yeah.
Offent, were you like eligible or did you come in as a tight end?
In Pittsburgh on my birthday.
Ooh.
See, that's why you need to know the player's birthdays.
That's it.
You got to know.
Call that shit.
You got a veteran tackle and it's their birthday.
You got to know.
That's a good bet.
All of a sudden he's eligible?
Rap King's bet.
Oh, yeah.
Alarm bell should be going out.
Every week my birthday is up.
Coach Reed, dial puts a play in the game plan called Catching Kelsey.
I won't tell any of you what that is.
Yeah, we want to go there.
I mean, that's great for y'all.
We were trying to fight for contention to make the playoff around my birthday.
I'm glad they were planning something special.
We do have some photos.
Miles, we got a photo of you at the Dodgers game.
We put this one up there.
Throwing out the first pitch.
Hey, where did this come from, dog?
Did you grow up playing baseball?
You hummed that son of a bucket.
He did.
I was very impressed.
I played like four games of baseball in my life.
Are there any other L.A. bucket list items?
You're looking forward to knocking off?
Bucketless items anything in LA Venice Beach
Ben did not sit down on the park do not sit down on the park
man I want to go to like the observatory yeah yeah I want to go to the Peterson
like car like that like that I want to take some hikes I like taking my camera out yeah
gotta get on the hikes the hikes that's it got to get some canyon shots you know
take some high you're not you're you've been inhabiting LA longer oh yeah what is the
must do when you're in LA whoa Tokyo all right see yeah that can't
out of nowhere.
Yeah, I like that.
Why, Little Tokyo?
I love anime.
I appreciate the shout-up.
See?
There you go.
Wait, is the anime different in Tokyo?
Yeah.
That's where it's from.
Little Tokyo.
Little Tokyo, little Tokyo, little anime.
Nice.
Don't forget to do.
That's good.
That was good.
We have another photo here.
That was a shot.
So, for those of you that don't know,
this is Miles when he was in high school.
Shut up.
That's a goddamn grown man.
Get his birth certificate.
Wow.
That was me with my starting
offensive line.
Wow.
Well, I got to ask
this guy that's closest to you right here on your
right, how far did he make it
in football?
Ben Jones.
Did you call the guy all the way on the right,
Red?
Ben Jones.
No question.
These guys were killing it in
10th grade, I tell you.
There's only four of them.
Did you eat the fifth offensive line?
Confused.
Obviously, the guy next to me got to him of a bracket.
How many,
Zach, did you have that year?
100?
All right.
24 to be exact.
We're going to move to a clip.
We just brought this up a second ago,
because as every center looked in horror
after this happened,
we're going to put this one up real quick.
Oh, God.
Oh, no.
Joe run Joe so first of all I want to give Ted Karras some shout out like
thank you at the center for the Bengals great player this is horrifying at this point
you're screaming middle like just help whatever you're sliding this that's
middle oh hey oh yes yes everybody squeeze just tell everybody on the line guys
it's not that bad don't are you kidding
What are you doing?
You're playing basketball.
I mean, I would just be like, what is happening?
I can only imagine what's going on in Ted's head right now.
Holy shit.
I didn't see this on tape.
He didn't say it once.
He knows the snap count.
He can play the game.
Snap count ain't helping him right there, I can tell you right now.
Jason couldn't stop my...
I think of dude's confidence like doing crossovers right before the ball is snapped.
You know, if I see that and I'm a center, the ball not getting snapped.
Yeah.
We're just going to test the time.
False side.
I missed the snap count coach.
Yeah, it's the off of me.
That's so true.
What's crazy is that I've actually seen you, you play basketball a lot.
I do.
He's a big hooper.
I've seen him in a Cavaliers jersey and you literally look like a monster in a Cavaliers jersey.
Like growing up, was that something that you felt like helped translate it like into like the football field or like, did you seriously take like basketball series in terms of something that you?
wanted to pursue or? I love basketball. No, that is my first love as far as sports. My dad played,
my brother played professionally. So I grew up watching him, but also training with him. And,
no, just working on my explosiveness, you know, trying to dunk, but also that lateral quickness,
getting from left or the right with their defensive slides or, you know, that first step off a dribble.
And I think that all translates, you know, Lisa, stuff like that.
That's all we had. That man brought the Ivers and cross over to the NFL.
That's what was holding me back.
We needed more of that, Jay.
That's what it was.
Put your kids in basketball, this is what I heard.
Yeah.
Play it all, baby.
And baseball is easy, obviously.
Whit, you are...
Hitting a ball is...
Hitting a ball is the hardest of the sport.
Yes, yes, yes.
We're trying to say Jesus Christ can't hit a curveball.
Whit, you were a multi-sport athlete as well.
Obviously, you golf now, but you were a tennis player growing up, right?
I was it.
I remember talking about this with you.
Yeah.
Are you a big multi-sport believer as well?
I am a big multi-sport believer.
The tennis tour is a little bit of a stretch, but, listen, I won a tennis camp when I was like 11.
I might have stretched that story a little bit to the school.
I was at LSU, and when I went to the Combine team started asking me about being a junior tennis champion,
and I was like, shoot, I might have.
Junior, I was the senior tennis team.
I might have stretched that story a little too much.
No, you guys got to double down.
that point yes i am yeah i was actually look it up there's no records all right we have another
video that we're gonna play oh shit we have more i mean you got a lot of good highlights we got
to use them this is from a game holy shit i be him on the cleanest inside last series
jordan y'all really be snitching like that too oh my god you're kidding me uh yeah
thing is true and you know this man this man he's playing a different game man the only way he's getting that out that
quick is if he knows he's going to get beat before it even happens like he's like oh crap i'm one-on-one
right if we have that in his head like an happy gillemore when happy's about to get hit by that little
water being go dead happy watch out that's it you got a scream it does blow my mind how many teams i see not
adjust game plans sometimes i mean most teams do yeah right but the fact that like you're getting
any one-on-one match
ever. Like it just
why would you give somebody the opportunity
to ruin a game? That was like my first of
three singles in that game. Really?
And we wasted on him,
scrambling out and throw it into the dirt.
So you're kind of like Barry Bonds when they would just
intentionally walk them all day
and then they'd go to one time. It's like, boom!
Oh yeah, we're going to go back to walking them.
I mean one pitch.
What would your game plan be? Against a
rusher like this?
Probably spending a lot of time that
week just yelling at the quarterback about where he was going to stand in the pocket every play
and how fast the ball had to come out is I got to have one way to win right so all right if he
beats me beats me around the edge all game I'll take it you just got to get the ball's got
to be out of your hand yeah so let's pick a depth and let's let's do it right so I'm all over
the quarterback all week that way if I ever do get beat inside I just scream his name like that
because yeah yeah you're screwed I hate it I hate it when you guys are in sync you know
if you beat a guy, you beat two guys, and you're like, all right, quarterback's thinking, I can stand
wherever I want. But facing a guy like Drew Brees or like Joe, he's like, yo, I'm going to be at
five yards. Just don't lose within five. It kills me. Yeah. And then you-
That's the whole point, Miles. You're not doing the quarterback. I'm already going through two,
three guys. The least you can do is like stand at eight yards. That's not my problem.
You know what's funny is, is AD used to do the same thing. AD will get mad at me.
Yep. He'd be like, Kelsey, he's a grown man. Why are you coming over here and helping?
I'm like, I'm not going to let you ruin the game, Aaron.
He's talking about. He got a family and a mortgage.
No, I don't care of himself.
We got families of mortgages too.
My kids got to eat too.
Jesus got four of them things.
So we did just bring up AD.
Ooh, this is what I'm here for.
Those of you that don't know AD is talking about Aaron Donald, the other MVP of the NFL, the other guy.
They also won a championship for the Rams and he's sack God and keep going, Jason.
Has there been any contact?
Any correspondence?
Yeah.
Whoa.
Don't do it?
Oh, that's a Chiefs fan.
Oh.
Do it after December.
Or just any other fan of the NFL.
I don't want to press them.
Why not?
Because I want him to find.
I'm pressing him.
full court. I'm just telling you all right now.
That's why I'm...
Now that I'm fully retired,
I really want to see it.
Are you just going to unleash this on everyone else?
Yes. I'm in a watch and great happiness
knowing that I am not on the field trying to deal with that.
Pretty fucked up, Jason. He walked away from the game
feeling so fulfilled. Like, man, I've done everything. I've won everything.
I don't beat everybody. It's like, all right, I don't need anything more.
If he looks up, he's like, huh, I might not.
need another one and he's like mj you want to run it so why not i mean where was the super
bowl last time he won it i mean go two for two it so far sounds kind of fun i don't think he
should come back why not i think he's good guys i think he's good he's hanging around
enjoying life there's a lot to do look at jason jason's out of the house doing shit he's dunking
a lot of shit you could do yeah he's dunking he's never trying playing goalie his soccer
this chasin that's what erin's doing he's done everything in the other there are
people I think of that
when people ask me routinely
who are the toughest people you blocked
thankfully I never had to block you
very happy about that
Aaron Donald really didn't have to block him either
I was double team with a guard almost every single time
those you are the two players who really have been
the most game changing defensive
linemen in this era of football
to think that both of you might
be on the same line
with the rest of that fucking Rams
defensive line not fair
it's not like everybody else is just like
Chop liver, yeah.
Our other guys, our other guys are special.
Fucking dogs, yeah.
We got to start teaming up as linemen.
I don't think anybody would be at all as feared is what's happening.
Zero.
All right.
A chance.
Jason and Big Witt.
If Aaron Donald comes out, you guys got to come and play for the Chiefs.
You already got a good center.
You don't need no more help in center.
Can we just bring water to everybody?
My insurance is up after this year.
Hey, that's a big milestone.
You're five.
I lose my health insurance.
I mean, just tell Andy, you know what I mean?
One game.
I do want to know because obviously, 23 fucking sacks, you've been a game changer since you're the first overall fucking pick.
Who was it on the D-lines in the, in growing up, did you model your game after or who did you take things from?
Where did it all start to where you really got the wheels turning and you were like oh man, I can do this if I just you know do something that he does or take from this person and that person or was it all just like I'm gonna fucking cross over everybody?
Um, Vaughn Miller.
Yeah.
There you go.
I still think
Von Miller is the most aesthetically pleasing
pass for sure I've ever seen as far as like what he can do how he like orientates his body the ghost
Ghost Rush.
I mean, he can do pretty much any move.
And if he didn't have the injuries that he had,
he would still be leading the NFL for his tenure as far as Sacks.
Von, yeah, Von was like that.
I got to answer that bell numerous times,
and I did not answer that bell very well.
Von Miller's a motherfucker man.
He can, like you were talking about how this guy can bend,
Vaughn had power and agility.
He had the whole bit.
Not to say he doesn't anymore.
He ended up torturing me for my first, probably six years of my career.
And then came over to me one day, shook my hand.
I was like, man, he's a nice guy.
He had the glasses on.
He wanted to talk about chicken.
There you go.
Yeah, he's got the chicken.
Chikins.
Loves his chicken farm, that's for sure.
Can I ask him a question?
Please.
I'm interested.
So, Miles, talk to me.
In your short time in L.A., right?
You've only been in the locker room and in the building a little bit.
What's been your takeaway so far of coming to this place?
Like you come obviously to a place.
A lot of people think a lot of expectations this team, even before you got there.
Just your impressions, like of Sean, of the building, kind of what you've experienced.
Well, first I'll say, no, they were telling me that L.A. in the football town,
but the reception we've been getting, it's amazing.
So thank you.
Secondly, the environment in that building is second to none.
Like the way those guys rally around each other, the chemistry that they have.
the work ethic. Like, you see it every day. And, uh, no, they, they know exactly who they are
and know what their expectations are for this year. And it's like, they're, they're locked
and loaded. And they looked at me as just another bullet in the gun and, and we're ready to go.
I love it. Makes me excited. Yeah. Miles, before we get you out of here, we, um, we always ask
all of our first time guest, man, what was there welcome to the NFL moment? You've probably
had a bunch of moments that was everybody else's welcome to the NFL moment. But was there
a welcome to the NFL moment good or bad or, you know, just life changing for you? Welcome to
the NFL moment. I wouldn't say there was like a, like a play where somebody just whipped my
ass, but I remember I was going against Taylor Luan. It was my first year. And I knew he was
bending the rules a little bit, you know, from what I had heard. Smart player, smart player, smart player.
We call that a wildly veteran in the O-line room.
We line up and it's like, it's like first and 10.
And I line up tight.
I know that the runs come in.
They got freaking Derek Henry at that time.
And he, you know, gets into a stance.
He looks at me and spits right in my face.
Wow.
Whoa.
Welcome right to the NFL.
And I was like, I promise.
Next time I see you, I'm a whip your ass.
Damn.
Wow.
That's Taylor.
Sounds like Taylor.
There goes that.
There's Taylor.
Very crazy story.
I got to go.
Sorry that happened.
One day when you're Taylor the Wands dead outside street, we know what happened, right?
He finally found him.
Was that intentional?
You did that with an accident.
Well, outside of that, what does a, what's something a tackle does that really gives them the best chance of blocking you?
God, thank God.
Is it getting off?
the ball? Is it holding?
What about
a tight end? I'm starting to question
these questions. Well, no, I'm just curious.
I don't know what's happening here.
Well, you have been world traveling. Let me switch
it out of football. You have been world traveling. What is
some of the funnest, like,
stuff that you've done just this year alone
overseas? We've kind of seen you all over
the place, but just in terms of this
offseason before you came back and shocked
the world with the move to Rams,
what have you been enjoying the most out of this offseason?
I was...
Chloe Kim
Oh yeah
Wow man
There we go
Yeah
Once the Olympics
Was in Italy for the first time
Ooh
Watch her do amazing
That was so proud of her
It was entirely too stressful
Being on the other side of things
Yeah
You're behind the camera
You're taking shots
And you're like freezing up
Because you're like
Yo she's 20 feet in the air
I can only imagine
She's coming so close to this
freaking edge. I'm going to have to run out there. I'm going to sliding down the half pipe.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was way too stressful, but she did amazing. We were all so proud.
Yeah, baby. Hell yeah.
And then we went to Japan and Korea together.
That's awesome. This brings up another conversation that I've seen your name involved with, basketball.
Yeah. I am very much on record that I think that basketball players could assimilate the football
easier than football players can go to basketball.
You're one of the names I see brought up a lot
that people think that you could go play in the NBA.
Do you think you could play in the NBA?
If I lost about 30 pounds to keep up with the conditioning,
absolutely.
I think I could cut that and do that within a year.
I have no question that he could do it.
Now, I've seen the in between the legs done.
I just don't see.
We are.
I don't see.
Let's look, I'm going to shut this down right now.
We cannot lie up.
liability ways take on him trying to dunk.
That is not happening.
All right.
We've had schematic questions and now we're trying to get him in.
There is not a chance.
I'm letting that go.
I will block it.
Now we're trying to hurt it.
I wasn't booked for a skit today.
I'm sorry.
Yes, yes, yes.
Jason, I think he might be the anomaly.
Huh?
In the football world, I think he might be the anomaly that could do both.
Yeah, there are more athletic specimens as far as like explosiveness and being able to
move in a variety of ways.
in the NFL. I mean, we take our vertical
test flat-footed, and
we're usually higher than the guys
in the NBA, and I'm not saying that's all there is.
Everybody short-arm in that vertical test. You know that.
Miles. You're not short-arming
it by eight inches. That's fair.
But you see all these
athletic freaks, and even though they're
usually like, I mean, you see D.K.
He's 6.5. You see me, I'm 6.5,
but you see, no, D.Bs who are jumping
47, 46,
and they're 6-1, 6'1, 6'
foot. You tell me those guys,
If you didn't give them enough training with a basketball,
couldn't go out there and be a, maybe a six-man or...
Rotational guy?
Yeah, a rotational guy.
I just don't believe Marcus Smart can line up in the three-tech part of five
and do what I'm doing.
I think Marcus is playing a lot like Taylor-Lwand, though.
He's doing some mental gymnastics.
And I got respect for Mark.
He didn't grow up far from where I was born.
I'm running through his fucking face.
There you have it.
Ladies and gentlemen, Miles.
Garrett and Andrew Whitwood.
You guys are doing on the show tonight?
I got it. I know I did.
Guys, I cannot thank you enough for coming out here and witnessing me dunk for the first time.
Oh, you get a pleasure.
I really quit before we get out here.
We have some things to wrap up.
I do want to give a quick shout out.
This night would not have been possible without Enterprise and Xfinity for sponsoring this show.
Thank you so much.
And the Enterprise, a particular for sponsoring that great penalty kick right there with Alex
Morgan, Kelly O'Harek. Thank you so much, guys, for making this possible and making this
night fun. Thank you so much to you guys. All of our guests for coming out.
All on 92% of the Japanese Maple. Oh my gosh, we have to get it back. We can't thank you guys
enough. The last time I was in L.A., Jason and I went down the street and I was a very picky
eater. And there was a bit that came out on New Heights not too long ago about a howling.
I liked airplane noises
when I ate
yeah it's kind of fucked up actually
like I was a child
a child getting fed food
so we have a fun clip for you here
I feel like and we won't use this in the episode
but I feel like Taylor has definitely
expanding your
I gotta use it now
it's nothing wrong with that
I feel like you grown up
he's not wrong with it
he's more adventurous of food
yeah it's not trying to act like one of the man
when I'm around her and eat foods
I haven't tried before yes
when she does a little
Airplane noises I like it.
Well, what if it's an airplane in the time?
It's landing.
It landed safely.
All right, we love you guys.
New Heights, live.
All the guests will fail out.
All the 90% has showed up.
And thank you to the Orpheum Theater for hosting us.
And we promise more of these next off season.
For sure.
We promise.
Oh, perfect.
Once again, New Heights of Wondry show.
a show on all social media at New Heights Show with one S for all the fun clips from the live show
out there in Los Angeles.
Thank you to the New Heights production team for doing all the dirty work and making this
experience a whole lot easier for us and making it so much more fun for you 92 percenters
to tune in every single week.
So appreciate you guys too and we'll see you guys next week.
Peace.
