Episode Date: December 18, 2025

First off, let's listen to some audio of Jason Kelce on the WIP morning show discussing what we learned from the Raiders game. I actually agree with his sentiments. Second, watching this video, I've had a bit of an epiphany about the Kelce family. It's a take that may be the hottest ever delivered. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tell your friends, tell everybody, alert everyone that we hear. We back up. And I appreciate you guys. You guys are awesome. You're wonderful. I just wrapped up the radio show today and now ready to dive into some other stuff for you guys because I love you and I care about you. And we love each other and you're great. Again, I told you I've become addicted to just reacting to WIP videos, right? And look, I am fully aware. that there are other things going on in the world. But I told you that I watched these videos from radio stations and then I just want to react.

Part of it is it's not like I do this with a partner. It's not like I'm going back and forth and arguing with somebody. And I really enjoy arguing with people. And maybe in the new year I'll find a way to argue with actual people. Like I know that Paul's like, hey, well, don't we do a podcast together. I'm like, I don't know. That just requires too much time and thought. Like after I get off the air, I want to turn on this microphone and tell you what's on my freaking mind, okay?

That's why me and Jilly don't do it together because she's working right now and all this stuff. It doesn't matter. But for whatever reason, the WIP one makes it the easiest because the WIP audience is the most bipolar, borderline psychotic mind of an eight-year-old audience that you're going to find. And the host just feed into it because they're the same way. So, like, I would try to do it with the people from 97-5. Maybe I'll try that as well. I tried it in Houston, right? Like yesterday, my ambition was to go find Houston takes to argue with, because I know a lot of people from Houston listen to this.

So I want to find Houston takes to argue with. The problem is I go to 790 and it's nothing but Astro shit. I go to 610 and it's nothing that's like incendiary or bad shit crazy enough to go off on. So all I have is the psychotic reactions and the bipolar ranting of Philadelphia people. So I'm going to write it till it box me. So Jason Kelsey was on WIP because Jason Kelsey can't take a break from talking into a microphone for longer than 27 seconds or he'll explode. That's actually true. So let's hear what Jason Kelsey had to say about that big win over the Raiders coming up after this.

Canada can be a global leader in reducing the harm caused by smoking, but it requires actionable steps. Now is the time to modernize Canadian laws. so that adult smokers have information and access to better alternatives. By doing so, we can create lasting change. If you don't smoke, don't start. If you smoke, quit. If you don't quit, change.

Visit unsmoke.ca. All right, so here we go. Jason Kelsey, breaking down that big Eagles win over the Raiders. Again, the Raiders. Again, the Raiders. What did that game represent for you in the big picture of what it means for the Eagles? They're going to make the playoffs, what it means for their chances in the playoffs? Well, I think what does it mean for me?

I don't know that it means anything for me. I think it's an impressive win, and it's oppressive that they played that well, even despite it being an awful team because teams don't show up all the time to play bad teams. But I think you're just looking to see how... I will say this about Jason Kelsey. And I don't want to compliment the guy because the entire Kelsey family is just a stain on the underpants of the sports world and I dislike them very much. But that said, I will give him credit here.

His beard is gorgeous. Like, I wish I could grow a beard that looks like that. Like, the fact that my man can grow it nice and thick in the mustache, there's no patches between the beard and the mustache. It's the thickness. It's the fullness of the beard that's gorgeous. So I will compliment Jason Kelsey. I don't find him to be an interesting person.

I think his whole schick is annoying. Oh, wow. He took his shirt off in the snow. and blue, like I don't like the guy at all in terms of a media personality or anything. But his beard is gorgeous. The team is trending and what they're doing. And I think offensively, I think they're continuing to find out who they are. They need to continue to operate like this.

I might be wrong. But again, I feel like if you're 14 games into a season, and there's no real difference in the personnel, it's not like, oh, our quarterback got hurt. So here's our backup quarterback. And we need to see who we are with our backup quarterback. Like, how are you still searching for your identity on offense 14 games in? Like, you're not trying to find who you are. You know who you are, and who you are is a not so good football team on offense.

Nothing you did against the Raiders is going to change anyone's opinion of that. That's three games. And if they do, and they can run the ball. I mean, the first try, they had seven Sequin Barclay runs, a design quarterback run, and they were already getting to the play action. And with the way this defense is operating right now, how great. They are. They can be a run the ball, control the clock, time of possession. The game was, what, two and a half? See, that's a good point. Look, I'm going to compliment him again. Because everything I hear from the dipshit radio people there is either the team is the worst team ever and fire everyone or, oh, we're back because we beat the Raiders. That's the part that I can't get with. That's annoyed. Like, at least Kelsey is giving you a, hey, here's what they should do. Run, run, run, run. Pass when you have. to quarterback run. I think that's another fair

point too. You're not seen enough from that running game from the quarterback. Win it that way and play defense. I remember on Sunday flipping through the games and like the Eagles game was over and every game still out a quarter to go. It was bizarre. One of the fastest, yeah. So it's

you know, this is who they can be. It's going to be harder against good teams, but you don't have to, you know, try and light it up. And take your chances when they're there. Make the defense commit to the run and hit them by behind. I think there's a lot of encouraging things with this Eagles team. I think that they've already beat a lot of the best teams in the NFC and in the NFL, and they haven't played their

best ball yet. Look, I've got another hot take. I think that Jason Kelsey is better looking than Travis Kelsey. There I said it. I think he is. This might be the hottest take I've ever delivered. And I understand that I'm supposed to deliver hot takes on his takes on the Eagles. And look, I agree. Like, I think what he's saying makes sense. Like, you're not going to be a lineup and sling it all over the yard type team. So you have to shorten the game. And when the Eagles were cooking, that's what they would do. When the Eagles were at their Zenith, if you want to look at last year and maybe some early this year, they were the type of team that would get the ball with 13 minutes to go in the fourth quarter and like an eight point game, nine point game. And would hold on to

the ball for nine minutes and score a touchdown with three and a half minutes to go and go up 16 and the game's over. That's not who they are anymore. Now, good teams are going to find a way to slow you down and force your passing game to beat you. But when they're selling out to stop the run, here's an obvious statement. It's a lot easier to throw the ball. So I agree with what he's saying, right? But also, and this might be my hottest take I've ever delivered. I'm aware of this. I've delivered some takes that people consider piping, scorching hot, I think Jason Kelsey is a better looking guy than Travis. I think the beard is something. I think Travis just kind of oozes like Timu Channing Tatum. Like when I look at Travis Kelsey, I'm like, oh, did you order like Travis Kelsey

from Wish.com? Or did you order Channing Tatum from Wish.com? Oh, that's Travis Kelsey. Like when you watch those, you ever watch those videos of like kind of janky parades where like it's kind of like a hood parade and like there's Elsa from Frozen, but Elsa from Frozen for whatever reason has like cornrows or something. And you're like, well, that's not Elsa's hair or whatever. But like you see kind of like the janky versions of the parade or you see like the off brand Mickey Mouse and goofies and shit doing like back that ass up at a kid's birthday party. like Channing Tatum is real Mickey Mouse like oh I'm at Disney World and here's Mickey Mouse and then like Travis Kelsey is like if Channing Tatum were the ghettoed out like back that ass up goofy at someone's birthday party in New Orleans right like he's the kind of goofy that's like backing that ass up to like boozy like that's that like he comes out to boozy right like that's kind of what that is I again I'm aware that this take is hot and I stand by what I'm saying here and I believe what I'm saying. And maybe I'll ask the internet. Maybe they can tell me the right answer. Jason Kelsey is a better looking guy than Travis Kelsey. Like he's got a good look going here. Got a beanie on, got a hoodie on. It got the

beautiful beard. I think that's the key, man. Like I have a beard, but like I look at my beard and I'm like, ah, it's kind of whatever. And then sometimes I'll pick hairs out of it and I got patches. I'm very jealous of people that can grow thick beards, right? Really, it's the mustache. Like, I can't grow a thick mustache, right? That's my biggest downfall. If I had to tell you my biggest downfall in life, and this might sound ridiculous because I've had some downfalls, my biggest downfall in life is that I can't grow a thick mustache. My beard is fine. It's not patchy by any means, but, like, I think the problem with my beard is the hair is kind of thin. Like, I don't have, like thick hair. So my beard never really gets to a point where it should be, where I aspire for

it to be. I look at Jason Kelsey and man's got a beautiful beard. And when he does the beard with the beanie, look, I think he's a good looking guy. Like, I think he can slay ass. Like, his whole personality annoys me and taking off your shirt and diving through the snow and buffalo is annoying. And, like, being in every fucking commercial is annoying. Like, I don't like the guy. I find the guy to be annoying. I agree with his take here on the Eagles. But I look at his beard. Real talk, Travis can't grow that beard. Travis might be the taller one and he might be the guy who's considered better look at. Look, I think Taylor picked the wrong Kelsey. I'm aware that's a hot take. I think what needs to happen now is maybe like Jason needs to leave his podcasting

wife and like go steal Haley Steinfeld from Josh Allen. That's the only acceptable outcome to any of this. I need Jason Kelsey to leave his wife and steal Haley Steinfeld from Josh Allen. Apparently they're having a baby. I'm not convinced that that's not Michael B. Jordan's baby. You saw that vampire movie. You want to tell me that there's at least not a chance that that's Michael B. Jordan's baby. A man's going to be like in the delivery room. Josh Allen, here's your new baby. Boy, that baby's going to be black. And it's going to be Michael B. Jordan's baby. And everyone knows it. And Haley Steinfeld is worried right now. She's just counting down to days until she has to get birth to that baby.

And it comes out looking like Michael B. Jordan. And Josh would be like, what the fuck? Anyway, let's finish with Jason Kelsey. And, you know, Nick Seriani, one of the things he's always preaching is, you know, it's a marathon not a race. You always says this. It's a marathon not a sprint. I mean, a marathon and a sprint are both races. Mountain climber, like, mentality.

We're like, we're down here. We're just trying to get to this piece. Flowers, if you will. Listen, I love the flowers. I got a whole garden. back. I'm in on the flowers. So yeah, I think there's a lot of things. I'm a sucker for the beard. What can I

say? Things that there's to look forward to, I think, from that game and what the Eagles just have. I actually look forward to nothing from that game because there's nothing one can take from beating the Raiders, but whatever. From one of talent perspective and two

on both sides of the ball. That was Jason Kelsey and his lovely beard. Better looking than his brother, of course. Boy. So now we've changed. Now I'm looking at some of the comments from people. Okay, hold on. I got to, I understand that I just keep going to this well. But it's like I need this in my life. I need to argue with dumb opinions. Like it gives me blood. Like it makes my blood. Like it gives me life. It makes the blood run through my veins. So let me see. I guess let me do this. I try to keep these to like 12, 13, 14 minutes. But I got another one. Joe DeCamara doesn't take much from Eagles. Went over the Raiders when looking to the games ahead. Like two days ago, bro, you were like, I think this team can go to the playoffs and win now, because I mean, that's a team, you've got to beat them.

Like, ugh. Anyway, all right, let's do this. Let's take a quick time out, and we'll get back at it.
