incredible episode planned out for you guys. We're going to be talking about all the big news coming
out of NFL OTAs, some brand new segments and an update on the New Heights swear jar. Turns out
someone was actually counting. Thank you so much. And you won't fucking believe.
I haven't heard of the swear jar in years. You won't fucking believe.
You won't fucking believe who's winning. But first, as always.
As always.
New news!
New news!
Let's address the elephant in the room. Travis is out of the house.
Yes. Yes, I am. I am in a house, Travis is out of the house. Yes, yes, I am. I am not.
I am in a house, but it is not my house.
Is why the episode is coming out to you guys Friday.
That's right. Travis is out of the house, out of the country.
He is over and about over yonder.
This is how I've been telling everyone over yonder across many different time
zones, and it becomes difficult sometimes to match scheduling up.
But we found a way to get it done., but we found a way to get it done.
We found a way to make it happen.
Really Travis found a way but in his very busy schedule, I'm not really doing that much.
So we found a way to get it there.
Little bonus for everyone.
This man literally has been on a plane.
It has to be on a plane in two hours, probably less than that now because we've been taking
our time with this.
So we should probably hurry up.
And we got to hurry up and get this episode done.
So we got to make sure he makes his flight.
So we're going to start off Beer Bowl number two, the deuce.
The deuce.
That's right.
We're running back to Beer Bowl in Sea Isle City, New Jersey on June 27th.
If you don't know what that is, we have an episode up from last year from the Beer Bowl
that was at the Ocean Drive that Travis and I hosted and we had a blast.
The contestants were into it.
It was amazing.
And last year's prize winners were Team Fire and Ice.
They were amazing from the beginning and they won a $50,000 cash prize and the first ever
Golden Cup.
The question on this is, are we doing the cash prize again?
I feel like if we don't do it again, if I don't do it again this year, it's going to
be a, it's going to feel weird.
So yeah, fuck it.
$50,000 cash prize again.
Is Ed Kelsey going to be handcuffed to the briefcase again?
Yeah, of course.
That's the only way to do it.
It's the only way to do it. Pulp Fiction style. Ed Kelsey ain't going nowhere.
Keeper of the cash, Ed Kelsey. Yeah, we got to find some new teams for this year. So to
enter your team, visit the official Beer Bowl submission website. Link in the
description of this video or podcast. You'll need your team name, your theme,
and a video telling us why you should compete in this year's beer bowl.
Contestants must be 21 or older.
That probably doesn't need to be explained and be able to get to see Iowa City, New Jersey
on their own.
We will announce winners as we get closer to the contest.
Man, I'm looking forward to it.
It's going to be a great time.
Man, it was a fucking blast last year and I was upset that I couldn't hang for the actual
foundation event, the Eros Autism. I think we never named it. What have we called it? It's
the Celebrity Bartend. Yeah, it's just a celebrity bartending, but the media keeps calling it like
the Kelsey Bash. I'm like, I've never called it the Kelsey Bash in my life. Yeah, no, nobody ever
called it that. Nobody ever wanted it to be called that for sure.
People just keep naming it whatever it's just.
Yeah, they're they're trying to make this is how.
Yeah, I mean, I guess it should have a name.
It probably should either way.
I was pissed I wasn't able to hang around for that.
But yeah, it's always an amazing event over at the shore.
So make sure you guys get your team ready
and and get a chance at 50K and a gold cup.
All right. Nice. All right. Moving on to some fan mentions of the week.
There's really only one fan mention we we got to talk about.
Jason was officially a category, an entire row on Jeopardy!
Masters. It's pretty cool.
We got to just run this this one clip that we have. an entire row on Jeopardy! Masters. It's pretty cool.
We gotta just run this one clip that we have.
I was a key part of our quarterback sneak known as the tush push.
So I always smile knowingly when I hear their song,
I push it, push it good, I push it, push it real good.
It is flawless execution.
Jason is just basically telling the question about things that are going on in his life
or have gone on in his life for every single row.
Jason, did you have any like say and what these questions or answers were?
Zero.
No, I just repeated like a parrot what the fine people at Jeopardy told me to say. Nice. Congratulations to the wonderful team over there. They came by, stopped by,
and we recorded it in one afternoon. They made it really easy. And for this clip in particular,
it's very important that you do not say it with the melody or rhythm. It needs to be
as unhinting to the song as possible to make sure that
nobody gets an unfair advantage.
So that's why you didn't sing it.
Correct.
Correct.
Yeah.
I mean, it was we got to say that.
Push it.
Push it real good.
So good, man.
The push it.
Push it real good.
I was like, I'm gonna really try and nail these T's.
Push it.
Yeah.
No, the real good got me.
Um, but you actually killed it.
That had to be fun to, uh, to do, man.
It was a blast.
And we all know big Ed Kelsey was, he was a Jeopardy master at home.
He would get just about every single answer correct.
That's right.
I remember him, uh, just mowing down the answers in a column
one time and I was just like, man, why didn't I get any of this intelligence? Yeah. Well,
I didn't get it either. That's a year. That's a lifelong of useless information that you pack in
there. But he was great at it. He would have just like buffalo wing sauce and blue cheese dripping from his mouth.
Dude, it would be the biggest wings you've ever seen in your life.
And then a half gallon of blue cheese and he would eat them like chips and dip.
He would take a wing, he would dip it into blue cheese. Like, just and then and just
just like a spoon just just with his teeth just take all the meat off of that bone man. Golly.
What was his best category? I'm trying to remember. I'd probably say American history was
probably his best category. Anything anything history. He was a huge. He was a history like
war buff. Yeah, unless it wasn't was a huge, he was a history like war buff.
Yeah. Unless it wasn't about America, then he was out.
Yeah. He wasn't in on that. Huge Tom Clancy, Tom Clancy reader. He would read all like Tom Clancy's
books. Yeah. He was crushing those Tom Clancy books. All right. Big egg Kelsey. Prize picks is

Okay, our next sponsor literally changed my life or at least my garage That's right our friends at the container store hooked me up with the new garage plus by alpha and
Shocker, it's amazing. All right now, Jason, I had seen your garage.
How did you manage to get all of your stuff organized?
Well, I'm not going to lie, I did nothing.
We hired a bunch of professionals and another company that all they do is organize as well
as professional installers with the container store.
They all did fantastic work to bring organization and structure to I think a garage that looks like most
people's out there which is it just ends up being a place that collects a bunch
of crap right like yeah we had that's exactly what it was we had we had bed
frames cabinets mattresses workout Like workout machines. Yeah.
Something about a cluttered space going to organized and tidy feels amazing.
I'm just not ever the person that does that.
But when it happens, it's amazing.
Yeah.
It's like you can breathe.
Yeah.
Like you just finally get it.
Can you actually find stuff you're looking for now though?
Yeah, absolutely.
It's all organized.
I'm telling you, these people are amazing.
We have a place for everything in cabinets, drawers, shelves, a pegboard with hooks and
your random garage tools and even a pegboard holder.
Ooh, a nice pegboard holder.
Well, damn, I might have to give Container Store a call and get myself organized.
You would be doing yourself a favor. And you're in luck. The
Container Store is offering our listeners a promo code to use
on all of their alpha solutions, which is what they custom
designed and installed in my garage. Use Kelsey for 25% off

about snacks around here.
Yep, and we've gotta give some major props
to Subway for really upping their snack game lately.
It took all the best snacks and made them even longer.
A foot longer, to be exact.
Now you can stretch snack time and your budget
with three all new crazy affordable foot-long sidekicks.
Whoa, they've got foot-long sidekicks. Whoa!
They've got foot-long Annie Anne's Pretzels, Baked to Perfection, Cinnamon Sugary Foot-Long
Cinnamon Bun Churros, and deliciously chocolatey Foot-Long Cookies.
Gotta love a good foot-long.
Why did it take millions of years of snacking evolution to reach this point?
Who knows?
But I do know these new sidekicks are even more than the most delicious longest snacks in history.
They're the perfect sidekick for your footlong sub. Golly, footlong snacks and footlong slubs.
I'm trying to like imagine what a footlong cookie is. I held it. It's just yeah, it's in like a little like
container. But it's one like
one solid cookie. I took a bite out of one at Kelsey Jam.
That shit was cracking. It
was gooey. Yeah.
Gooey? Gooey?
Yeah.
Footlong gooey. I need to put gooey in there.
It had a nice crunch as a crust and then the inside was real gooey.
I don't think I've ever heard someone say the adjective gooey and it be negative. It's
almost like they named them that way. Try a footlong pretzel cookie or churro at Subway today.
Let's talk about some football.
How about that?
We are still 15 weeks out from the start of the NFL season and we've got some huge fucking
news.
That's right.
The chain gang might be getting outsourced.
No, it might be getting, what's it called when technology gets invented and then the chain
game might be obsolete.
That's right.
It might be getting removed.
The NFL has plans to try an electronic system for measuring first downs during the preseason
games this year.
I don't like it one bit.
If the trial is successful and receives approval, the tracking system will be fully implemented
for the 2024 regular season. So not even for next year. Like if this works
out in the pre-season games, it's going into effect this year. There's just something about
the chains, man. It's like the ceremonial kickoff. It's like it's just, it's a part of the game.
It's an imperfect system. The chain gang isn't perfect. The officials aren't
perfect, but it's perfect. Like, I don't know why we're messing with this.
It's been great. There's no reason to upset this.
Like at what point did we all look around and be like, yeah, you know what?
We don't need the chains. I think it's when they, that's like,
that's what we got to change is the chains.
I think it's when there,
there's probably some type of like conversion
that looked like it was converted and they didn't know. So now somebody complained. I don't. So
there's nothing more. There's nothing more like direct than the measurements that are on the
field. Yeah, there's a growing expectation by fans that officials and that everything gets 100% correct
and that there's no margin for error and judgment calls or people on the field.
And I think that replay and challenges has set the expectation and there's a lot of people
gambling on the games now and they get really upset obviously when money's on the games now. And they get really upset, obviously, when money's on the line,
and a judgment call that was wrong, potentially ends up altering the game. But for me, just a
fan of the game, I know that people struggle with this. I like that the officials on the field have
an impact in I like that there's human error. And that is part of the game. And that both teams have
to try and overcome all
of these different factors. I don't think this is necessary. I just worry about the expectation that
officials increasingly are becoming under with these types of like, it's not, it's still not
going to be hard, fast and concrete. I feel like even implementing something like this,
who knows what it leads to? I don't know. I also just like fat guys holding chains and getting their knees blown out when shit goes awry on the field.
It's part of the game. We can't take out
unathletic chain gang guys getting their knees cut out from under them.
It's electric. You only see it once or twice a season, but it is so electric when a chain guy
just doesn't get his awareness goes down. guy just doesn't get us, doesn't,
his awareness goes down. He just doesn't get out of the way. I will say the NFL is probably
trying to take that out of the equation.
Get that liability off their hands.
Kind of like a liability. Yeah. Like, all right. That's hilarious. So now it makes sense, NFL.
I just, where does this stop? Where does this stop?
No, I hear you. I hear you.
The ball, where do we stop the electrical?
It's the same thing with baseball.
They're doing the balls and strikes.
They're saying it could be done electronically.
There have been a lot of umpires that have been put on blast for just blatantly.
I mean, you watch some of those games.
When you see it live, it's like, ah, that could have been a ball.
But when you like mash together like a clip of like five missed calls, it does not look
good for a blue that's not getting the right call.
In baseball, it's always, you just got to be consistent, right?
Like if the strike zone is, just make sure it's always that so that everybody can know
where the strike zone is at for the day.
And there's tons of umps that mess that stuff up all the time, but
I can't, I like it. I don't know. I always like being, and maybe it's because I, I, I
tried to always get any advantage. I could, I liked that there's like, like whenever we're
doing a competition in the weight room, whenever I cheat, I cheat, like I'm not, they'd be
like, Oh, we're going to measure your explosiveness. Okay. I'm going to find a way to rig this
so that I can be up towards the top. We're going to find're going to measure your explosiveness. Okay, I'm going to find a way to rig this so that I can be up towards the top.
We're going to find a way to measure your grip strength.
All right, I'm going to find a way to put chalk on my hand here and hold it here.
And I feel like that's part of the game we're playing.
So like, the like all this stuff is like part of the like you're you're taking away an advantage
of a savvy player to be able to manipulate things.
Manipulate things.
Dude, I would try and cheat everything.
Hey, don't put your legs into it.
Yeah, for sure.
I got you.
Yeah, just.
It's got a really strong shoulder.
I don't know.
Got 15,000 times the rest of the people who did it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
I'm with you on the I like to just bend it just a little bit, But yeah, I don't know. There's an acceptable amount. The intentions are probably
right. I don't even think Tom should have gotten in trouble for deflating footballs.
I'm pro deflating footballs. I'll say it. I'll say it. I am pro deflating football. Why
are you pro deflating football? Because somebody trying to win? Yeah, yeah, smarter people.
Why the fuck does it matter how much air is in that motherfucker? If you're throwing in and catching it, who the fuck cares? We're
all mad because he had the common sense to fucking take a little air out so that his
receivers can catch the fucking thing. Why is that against the rules? I mean, yeah, because
y'all could have taken the air out too. You guys could have taken the air out too. You
just weren't smart enough. So why am I getting penalized? Because you're fucking dummies.
Because they it's a regulated rule. It's a regulated rule. That's all I'm saying. If the rule isn't
protecting player health, or like if it's if only one team can do it, I get
what you're saying. But if both teams have the opportunity to do something,
and the other team is just not as smart as the other team, I think it's a stupid
rule. You're taking away intelligence.
team. I think it's a stupid rule. You're taking away intelligence. You're in trouble for stealing you're in trouble for stealing our signs. You're in trouble for stealing our signs.
You were fucking doing signals. You expected us not to look like get better signals. What
the fuck are you talking about? I'm in on the signals deal. What I'm not in on is on fourth and goal, Jason moving the ball forward an inch.
That's what I'm not in on.
That is cheating.
Time out, time out, time out, time out, time out.
And this is why we need the chain game.
I was just getting a forward lean.
It was not intentional.
It's just when you get down in a stance, sometimes the ball goes forward a little bit.
You want to know the truth?
You can't handle the truth. You're goddamn right I moved that ball forward. You're goddamn right! I fucking have taken every goddamn advantage I can! You're goddamn right I moved that ball forward!
How bad do you want to win kids? How bad do you want it?
Did I hold? Every fucking snap. Every fucking snap. I am holding somebody and I'm just doing it
in a way that I know is not going to get called. Everything.
There's an art to holding. There's an art to cheating.
There's an art to competition. It is what it is.
It's a fine line. Some would say it's, there's no integrity in it and I'm a coward. And I would just say
that I outsmarted everybody else.
Got to love it, baby.
Whatever.
How bad do you want it kids? All right. It's officially the start of OTA's phase three
has begun. Yeah, I was at, uh, I was at the first day of phase three. I wanted to make
sure I showed my face after Kelsey Jam felt really weird. Not showing my face and throwing
an absolute rager of a party for Kansas City two days
before.
So I made sure I popped my head in, got to say hello to the gang, got to meet a lot of
the rookies for the first time, a lot of the new players that we signed.
It was just good to get back in the building and on the practice field.
It was offense versus defense on a few occasions.
It was seven on and then we did a little bit of team and it just feels good to get back
on the bike and start riding around again, man. It was fun to get around the guys.
That's awesome. Anything stand out?
Well, I don't want to get anybody excited right now, but we look like a fine tuned athletic
machine right now.
You don't say.
Yeah. I'm not going to lie, man. Guys are flying around.
We're in shorts.
We're in shorts. You're right. We don't have any pads on, so guys are moving pretty quick.
Guardian helmets aren't on yet?
Well, discretionary.
You could throw them on if you want.
It was cool to see the first time, see really Hollywood Brown go against a defense in a
Chiefs helmet, see Pat throw the ball to him, see my guy Jared Wiley in the tight end room,
see how he feels defenses and runs routes and just
kind of picking his brain and seeing where he's at.
And then on top of that, man, it's just always a fun time seeing Pat Mahomes sling the ball
around in a seven on seven, man.
So it's just, it's a whole lot of fun meeting all the rookies and getting everybody back
acclimated into the football world was, it's always good.
I got to ask you about one person in particular, just because he's a former teammate of mine and now is your current teammate.
How does how's Carson?
Carson, you got two quarterbacks.
That's me.
On who else?
Young book. Oh, Ian.
Ian. Yeah.
Ian books with us, man. Yeah.
Smart. Very smart.
He pulled he pulled up the Kelsey Jam.
It was a good time.
But we it's been fun getting to know both of them.
Me and Carson, Pat all went out and played some golf and just got to get to know him
a little bit more.
He's going to be a great addition to the locker room, to this team.
He's a very motivated, very locked in competitor.
You can tell by the way he carries himself that he's going to be ready if his number
is ever called, man.
Honestly, man, seeing him sling the ball around, you can see how much, how good he is and how
he's had an unbelievable amount of success in the NFL.
I think him learning under Coach Reed and seeing how Pat does things on the football
field, I think he can not only fit in and take his game to to another level man, but really help this team out in the long run. I'm excited for him just because
I feel like Andy is the quarterback whisper man. He finds a way to maximize that position no matter
who's there. Yeah, no, Carson's he's absolutely killing it, man. He's dicing up. And every time
he goes out there, he's throwing bombs and throwing lasers, man. He's got all the attributes and you can see it when he's out there on the practice field,
for sure.
Alrighty. Well, outside of on the field OTAs practice news, there is a little bit of other
news coming out of the Chiefs.
Oh yeah, if you haven't heard.
If you're on social media, I think everybody has been privy to Harrison
Bucker's commencement speech in some way, shape or form.
I don't know that many people watch the whole thing, but you've at least probably
seen clips or heard other people really giving them the business on social media.
We heard finally from the chiefs a little bit.
Pat and Andy both addressed the media this week.
I thought what they said was
outstanding. I've heard other people, I saw Rich Eisen speak on it on the Rich Eisen show. I think
a lot of people are offering their perspective. So I guess it's time for us to share. I'll let you
start. You know Harrison? Yeah, I know Harry and I saw him in the building. Nice. I saw Harry in the
building and- Is it Harry? He goes by Harry?
I call him Harry.
He probably might be the only person that calls him Harry.
That just shows you how I've known him for seven plus years,
probably eight plus years.
Yeah.
And I cherish him as a teammate.
I think Pat said it best where he
is every bit of a great person and a great teammate.
He's treated friends and family that I've introduced to him with nothing but respect and kindness.
And that's how he treats everyone. When it comes down to his views and what he said at the
St. Benedict's commencement speech, you know, those are his. I can't say I agree with the majority of it
or just about any of it outside of just him loving his family and his kids. And I don't
think that I should judge him by his views, especially his religious views of how to go
about life. That's just not who I am. I think I grew up in a beautiful upbringing of different social classes, different
religions, different races and ethnicities in Cleveland Heights. And that's why I love
Cleveland Heights for what it was. It showed me a broad spectrum or just a broad view of a lot
of different walks of life. And I appreciated every single one of those people for different
reasons. And I never once had to feel like I needed to judge them based off of their beliefs.
Yeah.
You know, my household, my mother and my father both provided for our family. And both my
mother and my father made home what it was. So they were homemakers and they were providers.
And they were unbelievable at being present every single day in my life.
No doubt.
And I think that was a beautiful upbringing for me. Now I don't think everyone should
do it the way that my parents did, but I'd certainly and sure as hell thank my parents
and love my parents for being able to provide and making sure that home was what it was
because I'm not the same person without both of them being who they were in my life.
It's always great to hear from people that really actually know people than to a bunch of people
reacting to comments without really ever having met the guy. I think that the teammates reactions
with the Chiefs, Andy Reid's reaction, I think you learn teammates reactions with the chiefs and the reads reaction,
I think you learn more about people with who they are on a daily basis. There's always going to be
opinions that everybody shares that you're going to disagree with. And make no mistake about it,
a lot of the things you said in his commencement speech are not things that I align myself with.
But you know, he's giving a commencement speech at a Catholic university,
and shocker, it ended up being a very religious and Catholic speech. And to me, I can listen to
somebody talk and take great value in it. Like when he's talking about the importance of family
and the importance of that a great mother can make, will also acknowledge that not everybody
has to be a homemaker if that's not what they want to do in life.
When you're listening to somebody, you take in things that you like, you listen to other
things and you say, well, I don't fucking like that.
Like, I've had so many people ask me, you know, what would you do if your daughters
had to sit there and listen to somebody tell them after they just earned a degree, that they
should just go to a line to be homemakers. And I would say if my daughters listen to
anybody tell them what to do, that they should be homemakers, then I've failed as a dad.
Like, don't, what the fuck are you talking about? I don't care who's talking to them.
If you let somebody up on a stage tell you that you can't do that, and then you're like,
oh, fuck, I guess I won't go be a Fortune 500 CEO. Like you weren't going to make it. Like, what are we talking about?
All you have to do is just say, ah, like, if you don't like what somebody says, all you got to do
is like, oh, that guy's a fucking idiot. And then you move on. Like, I don't get what the whole fuss
is about, quite honest. I mean, I get what the fuss is about, because I know that certain of these
groups have been persecuted
against for a long period in this country. And women in particular, you know, obviously,
my wife, she was a little bit frustrated with some of the comments. Initially, I said, listen,
you're going to need to go back in the kitchen and make me a sandwich. I'm listening to the game right now.
We were doing so good.
We were killing it.
We were killing it. I hope she didn't hear that.
You're ridiculous.
She's going to use the sword before this episode's over with.
And you touched on this.
You know, he talks about family, right?
I don't think we have enough people talking about the foundations of families and the
importance and the seriousness of parenthood.
If you are going to embark on being a parent,
I do think it needs to be the most important thing in your life. If your kids are not the
most important thing in you and your wife's life, you are failing, in my opinion. And I
also don't think that women, for the most part of the issue here, I think there's a much bigger
issue with another gender in terms of raising kids. But I, like, I don't want
to go on that soapbox. We've played our entire careers with people that we don't align with
everything. I don't know that I played with one teammate that he and I have agreed with every
single thing that each one of us thinks. And this is the NFL. And that's the beauty. You find a way
to work together. You find a way to the beauty. You find a way to work together.
You find a way to grow together.
You find a way to...
You put your differences aside for one goal in common.
And that's the beauty of team sports.
That's the beauty of the NFL.
You get so many different walks of life,
so many different beliefs.
Pat said something, mentioned that I judge him by the character
that he shows every single day.
And that's really what I'm getting at here.
I'm just gonna go back to my beliefs through my family and how I was brought into this
world and, you know, my views are never gonna be the same as the man next to me.
We had a mother who was a very, very hardworking woman, career oriented and also a homemaker. We had a dad
who was hardworking and also a wonderful father and in some ways a homemaker. I mean, he tried
fixing the second floor bathroom. It didn't go very well, but he tried. The biggest thing
is love your kids and you try to let them go with the golden rule, do unto others as
you would have undo to you. And I think that's kind of what we try and live by. And if you want to go on and be a businessman, go on and be a businessman. If you want to go on and be a female doctor, go on and be a female doctor. If you want to go be a clergyman, go be a clergyman and offer spiritual guidance and faith and love to millions of people around the world. I think that all of those things are noble and just,
and there's going to be ways of getting there
that people might disagree with.
But as long as your North Star is good to your heart
and good to others, I think we're good.
Unless you want to be a dictator, don't go be a dictator.
Dictators are assholes.
I'm pro-democracy.
But other than that...
I'm the dictator of the castle now.
All right, let's move on. Best of luck in your kicks, Harrison.
Alrighty, and more NFL news since we last recorded. We have official NFL schedules for
next season. That's right, Travis. What are your initial thoughts on the full Chief
Schedule for 2024? for next season. That's right, Travis. What are your initial thoughts on the full Chief's schedule
for 2024? Man, I, you know, I've said it in the past. I'm not a fan of early buys.
What's your buy week? You know, buy week is week six. It's right after New Orleans on Monday night.
Don't love that. And it's a Monday night game, so it's kind of like a short buy.
And it's a Monday night game, so it's kind of like a short buy. It's a short buy like by a week, by a day, it's a shorter buy.
I will say that this, what is it, the 10 games, 11 games that we're gonna have in a row, it
gets a little aggressive at the end.
We play three games in 10 days.
And that's a hell of a way to finish out this season.
Marshall.
Dude, holy cow.
J.C.
Yeah, we play on the 21st, then we play on the 25th, and then we play on-
And on Christmas.
I believe.
Yeah, and then we play right before December's up.
So it's going to be an aggressive little stretch there.
But at the same time, I accept the challenge, right?
It's always fun looking at the games.
I think we got a lot of times that are a lot of games that we get to play on prime time.
I know that they all might not be on night, but we do play Friday after Thanksgiving,
which would be in my mind a prime time game, even those during the day.
And then on Christmas, I think that one's a day game, but at the same time, it's a Christmas
game, man.
Anytime you're playing on Christmas, everybody's sitting there watching the tube.
So it's just, I'm excited, man.
I'm excited.
I get to play, you know, in front of in front of the entire world a lot.
And on top of that, we, we got the first two games of the season are two of the biggest
teams in the NFL.
And that's exciting to get, get pumped up for early on.
Yeah, you guys, obviously, whenever you win the Super Bowl, you're gonna have a difficult
schedule you're playing the best teams and all the conferences that are scheduled outside
of your division.
So it's it's gonna be a lot of really, really good games with the Chiefs this year.
And you're gonna be on almost every day of the week.
The only day of the week you're not playing a football game on this year is a Tuesday. You're playing Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
Yeah. And thankfully, because that's when we record this podcast.
Monday, Wednesday, happy days. Thursday, Friday, happy days. Saturday, Sunday, happy days. Kansas City playing here. You can watch us on YouTube.
These days are Kansas City cheese. So happy days. All right.
That's a pretty good rendition of it. Do you make music a lot?
I don't know. Probably not. You do. Nobody's had games on six
days of the week since the 1927 New York Yankees. What?
The football team, not the baseball team. We are still
sticking to football, which I didn't even know there was a
football team.
No, it is real. I mean, you guys, it's this is
unprecedented territory. You guys are on prime time on
multiple days in my favorite day. Now Monday, you guys, it's this is unprecedented territory. You guys are on prime time on multiple
days in my favorite day now, Monday, we get to twice at home. So I get to go to Arrowhead
and be with Travis for two games this season. I believe I guess I should check. I don't think
they're double headers. I think they're on standalone games. So I believe we will be on site.
And I'll be able to hang out with you before or after, which is awesome. Yeah, five prime time games, two of those being Monday night football.
We got the Los Angeles Chargers and the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night football.
And of course, the season opener on Thursday against the Baltimore Ravens.
Yes, sir.
But do they not consider the Friday night game after Thanksgiving a prime time game?
Or is that in the middle of the day? Is during the day. And Christmas isn't a prime time game? Or is that in the middle of the day?
Is during the day and Christmas isn't a prime time game.
I'm counting all those.
That's what I'm saying.
If you're playing, if it's a holiday, if you're playing unusual times and you're the only
game on your it's prime time because people are going to tune in.
Yeah, I'm with you.
Screw these cable networks and how they call it. You play all of the NFC South and all of the
AFC North, which means you're getting a little bit of Cleveland Browns in you. Is the AFC North
the most competitive division in football? I say yes, especially with Borough coming back healthy.
I thought it was the most competitive last year. So dangerous on the Steelers and all of a sudden, you know, they're,
they're a very intriguing football football team. That's right. Or Justin Fields, whoever's out
there. Yeah, good point. They're in all the games because their defense is so good. As long as TJ
Watts healthy, you know, Cam Hayward, as long as those guys are out there, they're gonna be in most
of the games. Mike Tomlin, they're gonna, they opportunities. They're world coached, yeah. It's a division that is, I mean, it's always tough to come out of the AFC North. I would say last
year, I thought it was the best division. I probably still think it's the best division
in football. As long as everybody stays healthy. You got Burrow, Lamar Jackson.
Watson.
And Watson, thank you. So yeah, really, really competitive division. You guys are going to have
to play all four of those teams, which I know you guys are up to the task. But who
do you think your biggest competition this year? It's unfair to say. I know this is a
very unfair. This is my sports analyst. I got to ask this question. Dude, I got I was
at a golf outing and my boy John Clark asked me, he's like, all right, now that you're
an analyst, we can get into win loss for the Eagles. I'm like, yeah, I'm not doing that. What the fuck are we talking about? I don't
know who's going to fucking win and lose these games. I'm gonna wait till I see them play
and then start figuring it out. I think they're going to be really good. But get the fuck
out of here. I ain't fucking.
You just never know who's going to be up. Who's going to be down.
Nostradamus? I don't know what's going to happen this year. By the way, Christmas game
is on Netflix. How do you feel about that? Primetime game. Yeah. But you got to have Netflix. You guys did the first ever playoff game
on Peacock last year. Now is this the first game on Netflix? Have they ever had a game on Netflix?
No idea. First for Netflix. Thank you, Brandon. Enter Brandon. We got to get accelerators overseas,
man. I'm already through one rocket pop and one coffee. I've been I don't know if you can tell but I'm pretty jazzed
Nice. Well, I can't wait to uh, get this thing started baby. No, I'm excited about it. We know the opponents
We know the days let's get after it
It's your turn
Jason's Monday night football schedule. Let's get into it man. Let's uh, we also have Jason's Monday night football schedule this season and
We already talked about him coming to Kansas City twice for the Saints in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game
that we play.
Yeah.
But here are some of the highlights.
His first matchup will be...
Who's your first matchup again?
First matchup is in San Francisco against the New York Jets in Aaron Rodgers' first
game back.
On Monday night.
Ironically, the first game last year
was on Monday night when he tore his Achilles. Yeah, it's now going to be the first game
in San Francisco. I'm actually really excited about this game. One, because Aaron Rodgers
is going to be back out on the field. These are two great teams. Dude, the Jets were so
good last year. The defense was phenomenal. They just really needed the offense to get
going. And I got to think Aaron Rodgers if he can even be close to what he's been in the past or
who he is, the Jets are going to be a phenomenal football team.
Obviously, San Francisco has been one of the best teams in the NFL really since Kyle Shanahan
and John Lynch have been at the helm.
Week two, Falcons at Eagles.
Eagles home opener.
How about that?
Going back to the link for week two, that'll be fun.
Excited about that too, yeah.
Take your typical Monday night drive down to the link.
Just drive on there.
Just like good old days.
Maybe the team will let me stay in the team hotel.
I can just stay in my hotel,
like I'm getting ready for the game.
Jason, I don't think you can have any affiliation.
I don't think that's how it works, Jason.
It's against the rules, yeah, that's probably right.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure you could still book that hotel if you want one.
Maybe they don't block that room.
Yeah, let's talk a little bit about going back to the link.
Not as a player.
How do you think that's going to feel?
Yeah, I don't know.
I tore my ACL one year and I watched some of the games from like a box, especially when
I was in the brace still at the link.
So I got a little bit of a feeling. It's going to feel weird. I watched some of the games from like a box, especially when I was in the brace still at the link.
So I got a little bit of a feeling.
It's going to feel weird whenever you're not playing in a game, which luckily I haven't
had to do that much of as a player.
You feel like you're missing it.
You feel that you want to be out there with the guys.
You want to be out there competing and talking to all the former players.
I know that that's going to be something that I'm going to have to get used to all year.
It's going to be something that's not going to be the most fun part about this whole thing.
But in another sense, I'm excited as hell to see what the link has to offer. I mean, I'll be
working week two at the link, so I won't be able to experience tailgating a lot of those things that
day. I don't think. I don't know what ESPN has planned, I guess. I'm working on Monday. So if the Eagles got a Thursday game, there ain't nothing stopping me from going up there
and then seeing what it's like.
And you know, obviously I had a blast.
I think everybody is aware up in Buffalo last year.
Tailgating for that one.
I'm excited to take my first NFL season in general as a spectator and really think about things more holistically
and not have to be so caught up in like self analyzing every little thing you're doing
on the field and your team's doing.
You'd be able to see the run of show man.
Hell yeah.
I'll be able to enjoy the NFL in a different light for the first time and I'm excited about
that.
But yeah, there's no doubt I'm going to miss it.
But it's pretty cool that the second game,
the Eagles home opener, I'll be back in a stadium that I played in for 13 years with coaches that
I've, that I know with players that I know, security guards. I mean, I don't know if Brian's
going to be working security for me, but I can stop down, see all these people that have made such a
big impact in me and my career and support staff to be able to
be in that building and really starting my career off in another way is pretty damn cool,
for sure.
I'm sure that week two will be fun for you and all the other weeks where you get a chance
to actually tailgate with the Eagles, man, you're going to love it.
Trust me, I've been doing it for 12 to 13 years now and it is a blast. Go Birds, man, you're going to love it. Trust me. I've been doing it for 12 to 13 years now,
and it is a blast. Go Birds, man. Week five, you go Saints and Chiefs. You guys come to Kansas City,
the Monday night crew. And are you going to tailgate at Arrowhead if you get a chance?
Well, I can't Monday nights. I'm not going to be getting liquored up and tailgating
when I got to be on TV. I think that's probably not what ESPN wants, but-
Never know.
Never know until you ask.
If you guys are playing Thursday, I can go out and experience it.
I mean, I've tailgated at the Chiefs before for playoff games and, uh, you know, when
I've had bi-weeks, sometimes I've gone up to Arrowhead.
Ain't nothing new for Arrowhead.
That'll be a standard, uh, uh, in season, Travis Kelsey, Kansas City Chiefs visit, but
I am excited. We get to go there twice.
You know, maybe we can hang out before after the game, get to see you.
And actually, maybe we'll do some in-person episodes.
How about that?
Well, in person about that, we see who we can get, man.
Buccaneers at Chiefs is that second one you were just mentioning.
Yep. Week nine, week 11, you got Texans at Cowboys.
You get to go to Jerry's World. Yeah. Been there a lot. Yep. Um, week nine, week 11, you got a Texan, Zach Cowboys. You get to go to
Jerry's world. Yeah. Been there a lot. Yeah. Is it possible you're unbiased against the Cowboys?
Oh, I don't, I have no bias. I just don't like them, but I'll, I'm going to give them their props.
There's a rivalry, but you know, the reality is even though I hate the Cowboys fan base,
and for the most part, what like there, like there was a kid at, I
was at a charity golf outing and there was a kid and he was like, Hey, I'm a Cowboys
fan. I was like, Oh, are you from Dallas? And he said, No, I'm from Philadelphia. He
was like, Oh, so are you a Lakers and a Yankees fan too? Like, what are we doing? We're just
picking whatever team we want. That's where we're at. Listen, I can set aside my differences
as a player in the competition.
You were a Steelers fan growing up.
I had to.
In Cleveland.
We lost our team.
The next closest team was the Pittsburgh Steelers
geographically, and I loved Jerome Bettis.
I couldn't keep being a Browns fan
when they went to be the Ravens.
It wasn't a team to root for, Travis.
So when they came back to be Browns fan,
why were you still a Steelers fan?
No, no, no, don't put that on me. I became a Browns fan. You're bullshitting now. The
moment the Browns came back, I got a Tim Couch jersey and I was rocking Tim Couch. I still
loved Jerome Bettis, but I was no longer a Steelers fan once the Browns came back.
I'm about to look this up right now. Can we get somebody to look up what year Jerome Bettis
entered the NFL?
Go for it. I'd know for a fact he was in there in 94 when the Browns left.
No, he was not.
You're out of your mind.
I would say 2000.
I was a Jerome Betis fan and a Bill Cower fan and they were both in the NFL at the time.
You are out of your mind.
I don't know, man.
I'm anxious to see you.
Cornell Stewart was the quarterback and they had a whole.
Two thousand. That was two thousand.
Browns came back in ninety nine.
He did not join the Steelers in two thousand ninety six.
Brandon, is anybody looking this up? I'll look it up.
It's on the thing. It's right there.
What do you mean? It's right on the.
I don't know. I don't have the updates.
I don't have the updates. He joined the Steelers in 96.
Oh, all right. Nice. All right. Jason's telling the truth, guys. I'm sorry. Just saying, don't
get mad at that kid, man. He liked the rivalry of the team that everybody in the house was
cheering for.
I'm not mad at him. I just predicted his other two teams. And I know I was right.
Which game are you most excited for Monday night? What do you think?
Oh, man. I'm excited for the first one, probably the most also like excited and anxious because
I'm nervous about it. Actually, I'll take that back. I'm excited most about being at the Eagles.
I'm excited for the first one because it's the first one. And then after that, I probably go
the Chiefs. Nice. Those are the hot ones. All right. So when you visit the cities,
you think you'll get out of the house a little bit. You think you'll explore the cities a little when you go on the road, because we can't do that as players.
You're stuck in a hotel.
You get a little window, but you really, it's not the same.
No, you don't get to actually see anything.
I've thought about that, especially like going to certain places. I can go out as early as I want.
Right. So like, you know, if I wanted to
go out to San Fran and actually ride them buses and go see some sites, I've never really hung out
or done anything in San Francisco. And it seems like a great town. No, I am. I'm excited. I like
traveling. I like going to interesting restaurants and places and museums and stuff like that. You
know, maybe Kylie and I can tie it in to like some maybe some
vacations in the middle of the fall, which would be different. We can bring the girls
out to Kansas City and we can hang out like I think it's
go do things in the fall. You haven't done anything in the fall. You were before football.
For middle school. We have no recollection of what happens during the fall. Yeah, it's it's just and I guess there's a bunch of cool shit that goes down.
Of all the seasons fall.
It's the worst. No way.
It's the best. Spring's the best.
Spring's not the best.
Spring is just pollen.
Spring is the best.
All day, every day.
Spring is the best.
You're coming out of summer.
Flowers are coming out.
Colors coming out again. It's the best.
Spring is the best.
Fall is perfect weather.
It's the perfect...
That's why football is played in the fall.
Spring is the best.
Summer is second.
Winter is third.
Followed by fall in the fourth position.
I'm just...
I'm a huge fall guy.
I think fall is the best.
The only thing fall has going for it is football.
I'm a good fall, winter, summer, spring time out. What did you just say? Winter is your second
favorite. I love winter, man. I love winter. I hate being hot. That's why I have what's summer
behind spring, but you're out of your mind. I'm with you. I don't like it when it's too hot either,
but at least the sun's out and you can just go. I mean, there's AC everywhere now. You just go
there and or you go into a shade, you go under a tree, you're outside.
Winter is good when you're in the middle of nowhere. Snow in winter is fantastic when you're
remote. When you live in a city and it's snowing all over the place, it's just inconvenient.
There ain't nothing fun about snow in the city or beautiful. It's just, it turns to dirty slush
and it's gross. It's getting all over turns the dirty slush and it's gross.
It's getting all over everything.
They're salt all over the place.
None of that bothers me.
I also can't wear flip-flops in the winter very well, so.
Now that you're not working weekends,
what's your Sunday game day experience look like?
Are you a red zone guy?
Are you going to be watching the Eagles with Kai or?
Yeah, I mean, I got YouTube TV a couple of years ago.
Big fan. And I was real happy when they got Sunday ticket
because DirecTV I'm not putting a fucking dish on my house and I
was never getting DirecTV. So now that I can actually get
Sunday ticket, it's the best thing in the world. I got to
experience it a little bit last year, but obviously I was still
playing. I do think I'm going to probably watch most Sundays at the house
because I'll be able to watch multiple games and really take in
and try and you go in multiple TVs.
Are you going to be the guy in the basement with multiple TVs?
I mean, if you do Red Zone, you're kind of doing that.
I think probably not.
I mean, I still have a great setup for that.
I guess I could have one
game on my laptop and one game on the TV. And I could go back and forth there. That's why I like
YouTube TV because then it's so much you do the four squares. I can have a game on my laptop.
I can have a game on my phone and then have a game on the TV. And then I'm like, all right.
And then I don't have to worry about the crack that is NFL red zone, where it's just like, like, if I can't, red zone is like, it's like ADHD for
television and football. It is it's tough. It's too much. But I got damn it. I love it.
Yeah, the people that operate are incredible. I don't know how they do it. But I can't believe
I don't know how they're doing. Yeah, it't. I don't know how they're doing this. Yeah, it's amazing.
They're killing it.
So yeah, that's how I'll probably watch.
I'm not sure if you've ever seen Kylie
watch an Eagles game, but I'm sure excited for you
to witness that for the first time.
Yeah, I don't think I have.
No, we've been at a playoff game of years.
What are you talking about?
We've been at a bunch of playoff games of years.
I'm talking about Eagles.
Oh, well, I mean, she-
You've never seen Kai watch the Eagles. Yeah, I mean, she's never seen Kai. I watched the Eagles. Yeah. I mean, she's
anything just buckle up, dude. Yeah. Gets intense. Oh, baby. All right. All right. Monday Night
Football might need to hire her for her analyst work. Although although he won't be playing.
So random shouts of Jason's got to get his shit together. Yeah
Random shouts like that fall on deaf ears as yeah as heartfelt
It's uh, it's the best fuck I love it
She might still be doing that to be given like an analysis and she's like Jason. You're a fucking idiot. She'll probably still be doing
she'll probably still be doing.
Shout out to Kai. Princess Kiana.
Just her voice sounds like a cartoon.
They're getting ready to go to the beach.
If you want an easy way to help your dog shine this season, you can start with fresh healthy dog food from the farmers dog.
The farmer's dog makes real fresh dog food and delivers it right to your door.
Recipes are developed by vet nutritionists made from real meat and veggies and portions
just for your dog. I didn't know that was either. But it is.
Vet nutritionists. Imagine that. You can use much lower quality ingredients than they claim to use.
They can lie and are extremely difficult to proportion or
to portion accurately.
So farmer's dog is the best option for dogs of all life
stages because it's not kibble.
It's not canned goo.
They use goo in a negative sense.
Damn it.
But no, that's not gooey.
If they would have said it's not gooey canned food, they
wouldn't say that.
But you're right.

Recently, yes.
I have just stumbled upon it.
I was actually over at one of my teammates' houses and he popped it in the microwave and I was like,
what's that? And proceeded to eat one and it was fantastic. The thing that I really like about it
is it's really convenient. And for me right now, the way I've been trying to lose weight and
get away from being an offensive lineman body type, because it's not healthy for you, has been by really calorie
counting and by watching the macros. So, your proteins, your carbs, your fats and factor
has it all laid out there. You can pick from a bunch of different categories, different
meals. It's incredibly easy. All you do, you take it out, you poke some holes in the top

two minutes, bada-bing bada-boom, it's really, really helping out, and it tastes great.

If you're looking to maybe get your diet in order, it's a fantastically easy
way to do so. All right, let's move around to some Teach Tape. 92%ers, I don't want to alarm you,
but we do have a new segment. We've been missing talking about football so much that we asked you
guys to send us some plays that you wanted us to break down for you. So we're calling this segment
Teach Tape. And Teach Tape is brought to you by the Container Store, the store that got Jason's garage put together.
They completely transformed Jason's garage two days ago. When I tell you that shit was
chaos when you opened the garage door. Absolute pure chaos. And I'm sure they got that thing
on nice and tidy for your brother.
So yeah, let's move on and try some Teach Date and see if we can help you guys figure
out some football plays that might need broke down.
We got asked about a clip a lot from Lord Hamlet 73, add Jason Kelsey, Hertz overtime
winner against Buffalo.
Oh yeah, this is a classic right here.
And I actually remember Jason teaching me about this exact play.
So why don't we go ahead and throw it up here.
Jason, I'll let you take it away.
Yeah, we got a quarterback draw called.
We're releasing the back.
You'll see Swift here go on a free release out to the right side of the formation.
There's a little bit of confusion, I think, with the safeties and whatnot.
But essentially, we have this play called into a defense that it can absolutely gash,
which it does.
You still have to execute though.
They're running a saw blitz.
What is a saw blitz?
So saw blitz is a double edge.
You're blitzing two guys off the edge of Sam and the Will.
So number seven here and what would be number 25 here on the bottom of your screen. Correct. Yeah. The nickel.
You're going to see both of those guys add to the, uh, to the rush on the quarterback.
They're going to try, but the motion kind of screws up the pressure to the field a little
bit because I think what's happening is the safety was going to come down to play either
the tight end and the linebacker is going to play the back when it was a trips right
formation. And then once the back goes, the linebacker and the safety don't know who's taking who. Everybody's got a bomb. Yeah. Yeah. The nickel
ends up coming off of it. I think the backer was supposed to add on who knows what their
correction is. Bottom line is that what happens on a double edge pressure, saw blitz is the
ends pinched down, right? Everybody is pinching because you have people blitzing off
the edge. So the most important things are anticipating that movement happening. If you're
not ready for it, Jordan Malata right here is going to pass at this left end. If he's not ready
for the end to come inside, he can get beat real quick inside of him and it could be a tackle for
loss. But Jordan does an outstanding job. Once he
feels that guy coming off the edge, he knows the end spiking and he can wash him down.
I adjust on the run to a kick out block rather than pulling up through the hole. So you're
going to see the left end over Jordan Mulata. As soon as he sees that guy walk up, he knows
that end is crashing. And he does a phenomenal job of coming off his draw set and just pounding the defensive end down
I know once that
Once that has happened that I'm now kicking out an edge defender
So I'm going to kick out 25 and I want you to watch what probably was the least talked about in this play
Cam Juergens, so no so cam Juergens on the right side, when this soft pressure happens, that three technique
on his, on the right side of him is going to attempt to spike across his face. We ran
this exact same, well, maybe not the exact same drop, but we ran a quarterback draw very
similar to this earlier in the year. And Cam's guy spiked and he ended up making the play
from behind because Cam didn't anticipate the spike.
This is what I love seeing. You love when guys, when something happens
and guys you see them make the correction
and go and execute it the next time
and it results in a huge play.
So the first one results in a negative play.
Now this is game on the line,
similar situation he's in and he remembers,
he feels it happening, he takes inside footwork, he gets put on his ass, similar situation he's in and he remembers. He feels it happening.
He takes inside footwork. He gets put on his ass, but it doesn't matter because all he
has to do is get in the way of this guy. He knows as soon as that guy spikes, it's imperative
that I stop this guy from getting across my face. And he does just enough. That's what
you love seeing. You love when guys make corrections.
You also have to go back door.
Yeah. Like if he doesn't go all out to stop that, that guy's probably
going to spike over the top and make the play over there. Cam takes one for the team and
Jaylen walks in Scott free. Yes, he does. It was an amazing play. Amazing play call.
Yeah. I don't remember if this was a lot of this play can either be called. I think because
of the motion, it was probably called from the huddle or called directly. I don't think that this was a check play. Typically when it's checked,
I don't think it has that type of motion on it. I can't remember entirely to be honest with you,
but either way it ended up being a great call and a, but more importantly, a play that all of the
guys executing it were ready for and knew what to do. Because if you're not ready for it,
this play can be blown up
in the backfield just as easily as it is a touchdown. How'd I do?
Unbelievable job, man. I think you did a great job. You also, you talked about how Jordan
Malata anticipated the spike. For everybody that isn't a football junkie, doesn't understand
defenses, everybody on a defense has a specific gap. Everybody has a gap on the defensive line.
You'll see Jason was just talking about Jergens 51,
the guy that's outside of him is going to try
and spike in between the gap between Jergens and Jason.
So on the front side here,
when Jordan anticipated 25 walking to the line of scrimmage,
he knows two guys aren't going to be outside of him
because then they'll be out of their gap assignments.
So he's anticipating that the defensive lineman over there, I think it might be 52, I forget
his actual number, but somebody has to play the gap inside of him.
And he knew that from the saw pressure and probably just countless amount of game film
that goes unseen, he was ready for that spike to go in there. And that on the front side is what
really gave Jason the opportunity to just get a clean shot of a kick out for the actual draw,
man. And it's just, you got to love it when you see everything come together when it's drawn up, baby.
Yeah. When you look up at a picture like this, you see the B-gap in between, and this is exactly
what Travis is saying, in between Jordan and Landon.
When there's nobody there, nine times out of 10, somebody is going to be there.
Defenses do not run ungapped sound defenses typically.
So you know something is going to happen. Jordan knows when
he has man on man outside, man on is the DN, man outside is the outside edge defender who's blitzing.
They're not going to leave two guys outside of him. And he does a fantastic job of anticipating
the spike and collecting it down. So good point, Trev. I thought it was awesome.
That's all five linemen working together, baby. You got to love it.
My man, Jalen. That was a hell of an ending right there.
Hell yeah, baby. You hit the link.
That's probably the last good bit of our season to be honest with you. But anyway.
Chill out. That does it for our teach tape here at New Heights. Teach tape brought to
you by Container Store. So make sure you go to your favorite Container Store and get some containers.
There we go baby. Out of the house! Let's move on to out of the house. Trav, you and
about 20,000 fans, oh my gosh, we're out of the house this weekend at Kelsey Jam
2. I saw the picture. Holy shit man. That was pretty electric. Yeah man.
There was no dull moment man. It was so much fun. Little Wayne, Diplo, 2 Chainz, everybody
rocked the stage. DJ I. Reed, DJ Evie, everybody was just, they were so accommodating and really
made it an experience that Kansas City I know will remember forever. And I just can't thank
everybody over at Medium, Rare and specifically Kansas City, man, for showing up and supporting,
having fun one last time before we get this
season started.
I don't know what next year looks like.
I don't know if there will be a next year, but I know that these past two Kelsey Jams
have been some of the most fun I've ever had in Kansas City outside of the football season.
And I just can't thank you guys enough.
Dave, it looked electric.
This picture is so fucking cool.
I can't stop thinking about it.
The top down the sky.
There was obviously everybody in the amphitheater.
Last year you spiked the Lombardi Trophy. There was no spike this year, but it was brought
out in a Louis Vuitton duffel bag.
Yeah, I was one of my favorite songs ever by Two Chains and Little Wayne is Duffel
Bag Boy. Oh, nice. I was lucky enough that they let me come on
stage with them for that song. And why not bring out a duffel
bag and pull out the Lombardi trophy out of that thing and get
everybody fired up. And then handed it over to Two Chains.
Just let them know should have had a ball bag.
Um, and then handed it over to two chains. Just let them know should have had a ball bag
Yeah, I get it double bag is a song I got it. Sorry. All right
Uh, there was also a wing eating contest, uh between trey smith and a fan. Yeah trey absolutely smoked him. I've seen trey smith
I'm i'll tell you what i've seen you in a wing eating contest. I'm taking trey sm Smith in a winging contest that dude how many did he it wasn't as long as yours yours was yours
Mine was only 14 minutes was like five minutes, right 14 you had you had 14 minutes
So the way wing bull used to work was it was 14. It was one round 14 minutes
Then there's a bunch of eliminations. I only was in the first round
I got eliminated at 65 wings in round one.
Round two was another 14 minutes. And then there was a last third round, which was like a two minute sprint.
Eat as many wings as possible. And Molly Schuyler won with I think 365 wings.
And that's who you had in the first round, right?
Well, we were, it was everybody competed in every round.
Oh, yeah. It was like everybody's going around one. I think she had down like 180 in the first round and I got down 65.
I thought I was like, I'm like, dude, I am like mowing these things down.
65, I'm putting up together.
Didn't even crack the enough to make it to the second round.
I was out.
So it wasn't even like top half of the categories.
Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.
He was, he absolutely demolished.
How many did he eat? I don't even remember what the situation was. I was, I was just
on the stage trying to cheer everybody on to see someone yak and I didn't see anyone
yak so. All right, deal. Should me and Trey have a wing unicap? Yeah, if I trade a wing
bar, not wing bar, fucking the shore beer bowl.
Yeah, or the kill some bash, whatever we're calling it.
Whatever people are calling it nowadays.
Yeah. Yeah.
He's a professional wing eater.
I don't know if you've got the stomach for it anymore, but
dude, all of the best eaters aren't fat people just little
tip for the trade.
Molly Schuyler was 140 pounds. Soaking wet probably.
No, she was.
Bro, look up a picture of her. She's a house mom from Missouri. I think she's from Missouri.
Nice. Molly from Missouri.
I don't even know if she's a mom.
Just throwing shit out there.
Fuck it.
Maybe she might have been Nebraska actually. She might have been Omaha. I think she might be Omaha.
Either way, shout out to Molly for eating more wings than she weighs. But yeah, we have
officially reached the capacity at the amphitheater. If we do it again next year, man, we might
have to step up to a bigger venue, man.
Are there any bigger venues in Kansas City?
Not that I know of.
No? What about...
Not that I know of. Are there any stadiums in Kansas City? Not that I know of. No? What about?
Not that I know of.
Are there any stadiums you could maybe use?
I'd be hard pressed to believe that we could fill Arrowhead.
That would be a dream come true.
You could definitely fill Arrowhead.
What's that?
You could definitely fill Arrowhead, especially if you get a great performer.
60,000?
You think we could fit 60,000 in?
All right.
Yeah.
I don't think it's a problem. If it's a good enough musical artist, enough musical arts. Yeah, you can do that with your name attached. You're definitely doing it
All right, Jason you got out of the house as well this weekend the Eagles autism challenge. You were out there riding bikes
We talked about the event last episode with Kylie and was it vehicular manslaughter this year? It was not it was well
This was the first
year I've ever stayed up at the front with like the cops. It was a wonderful ride. It was,
first of all, my best performance, but it was, we didn't really have to do a lot of stopping. It was
very controlled, went off without a hitch to my knowledge. I don't think anybody almost got hit
this year, which is great. And the rain held off to it was nice.
It was perfect.
He was saying this because last year when Kylie came on,
AJ got hit, almost got hit by a car last year.
No, no, no. He got hit. He got he got clipped.
Oh, he did. He got clipped.
A little side swept wasn't aggressive, though.
He was fine. Nice.
I mean, there's it's going to take a lot more than just a size.
What do you think?
Oh, yeah.
AJ also opted for an electric bike this year
Just in case he needed that extra
But I mean more power to you, I guess but I don't know what the point is
But yeah, I'm working smarter not harder is is what he said and that I don't think that's cheating
I think that goes into Jason's it's not against the rules. No, you're right. I don't think it should be a rule I
Should be allowed to do I mean you should be allowed to
Drive a motorcycle if you want
All right, well you guys raised
more than eight point one million dollars for autism research and care programs and that is fucking
Unbelievable, I will give a round of applause of that. You guys do do this better than anybody, man. Eagles Autism has been doing it for years. And the city has been
pouring their appreciation and their benefits at you guys because of it.
Listen, this is something that's really, really near and dear to Jeffrey. He puts a lot of time
and energy into it. And then Ryan Hammond and the woman that runs Eagle's Charitable Foundation and Eagle's Autism Challenge, she does a fantastic job of really getting everything
scheduled and set up. The team gets into it, the coaches, the community. It's turned into
such an awesome event where people come to from around the world. And it raises obviously
an incredible amount of money for autism related research and care
programs and it's a fun day. It really is. And you see the joy on people's faces. We
had the Brants come in this year, which is awesome. Eric Brant and his family, his wife
and his kids, they visited, they came in. So that was a fun little trip with their kids
and just hanging out.
I love it.
And then Bennett got to meet Swoop for the first time.
Swoop?
She saw him across the room.
And like, she does this thing when she's like,
wants to run where she just starts like moving her arms.
But like, even if you're holding her, she's like, move.
So I could tell she wanted to go over there really bad.
She's like, let's go over there. Let's go over there.
And we get over there and she freezes.
The look on her face right here in this picture,
this is exactly what she looked
like for like, the entire time swoop was within striking distance. It was, it was a big old
bird man. It is. It's a big bird. Big old bird. Swoop is awesome. But yeah, I think
Benny from a distance was like, ooh, a bird. And then we got closer and she was like, that's
not a fucking bird. She was terrified.
It takes us a dormant. She ended. Did you guys end up getting
a good pick with swoop though?
Oh, dude, we killed it and swoop killed it. You can tell he's
he's awesome and interacting with the with the kids he knows
when to go in when to kind of be, you know, a little cautious.
That didn't that didn't result in a full meltdown like it could have very easily.
It was it was an enjoyable experience, although admittedly a little nervous.
This is probably why I could never be a mascot.
Would you I feel like I would just go full throttle the whole time and just terrorize
the kids that I think I'm pro scaring kids kids need to be scared are yeah we
both are because our dad used to scare the shit out of us yeah no it's part of
my head big ed is very pro see the kids go that's a Kelsey pastime I still
kind of get so mad because I know that whenever I go,
Wyatt and Ellie will screw like freak out like there's a ghost.
Like they're not smart enough to know it's me. I'll do it right before bedtime. And kind of like, what are you fucking
doing? Will you are you out of your mind? These kids are almost
down and you're scaring them. They're gonna be up for another
hour. I can't help myself.
Oh, I know I can do this and I know it'll get a rise out of them and I just can't help
it.
All right, let's go.
We got to, we got to move.
We got to move.
We got to move.
We're pushing it on, on your schedule.
I apologize.
I appreciate you.
That does it.
Shout out to Swoop for playing it perfect.
And shout out to Benny for me and Swoop for the first time.
All right, now let's wrap up this episode.
It's time for No Dumb Questions,
because there's no such thing as dumb questions,
just dumb people.
Yes.
No Dumb Questions is brought to you by Factor,
fuel up for summer with factors, no prep, no mess,
food, meals, from Elaine underscore V29 on Club 92.
I saw this over the weekend, New Heights retweeted it.
Shout out to Elaine.
Way to go.
No dumb questions.
Hey guys, are y'all still interested in a swear jar been counting swears since October
11th?
The swear jar episode even made a homemade swear jar plus a spreadsheet current count
Jason at 366.
Travis.
Damn, you cussed 366 times. That's ridiculous.
You had to. Travis at 2135. 2000? You didn't see this? This is ridiculous.
I don't know what she's counting. I would be curious to know what words are being included
in these swears. 2000 is just a random number. There's no way.
Keep those swears coming. Thank you so much, Elaine. This is incredible. I'm glad somebody
was keeping count. I can't believe somebody did keep count all season. I mean, I guess
you just care more about charity than I do, Travis.
Well, I am a philanthropist. That's how I got my degree, for those of you that don't know.
I love to give back. I love to give back to the university, to the cities that have given
so much to me, and to New Heights for giving a fuck about what I say. So thank you guys.
Swearing has been brought to New Heights as the swear jar is officially tallied through October 11th. That's
33 episodes. On a per episode basis, Travis is averaging 68.87 swears.
There's no way.
That's so many. It's so aggressive.
There's no way.
This has to be including like a couple-
Elaine, what are we counting? Are we counting damn as a swear?
I am curious to know what Elaine counts as a swear.
Yeah. Elaine, we need you to help us out. What words are you counting? Because me swearing 60
times per episode is, that's ridiculous. And to be honest, it needs to stop if that's the case.
All right. So needless to say, I think Elaine is now the official
transcriber of the Kelsey swear jar.
You started it. I don't know if you wanted this title. I don't know if you wanted this title.
You started it.
But I think as the official transcriber of the Kelsey swear jar, I think we should,
I guess I should have talked about this maybe before, but I think Elaine should be able to help in deciding
where this charity money goes to. If she's taking the time to count all the swears,
she should have a say in what we end up doing, right?
Yes. We can't give her full autonomy because I don't know if she's going to say something like,
yeah, who knows? I don't know. But we will go, we will have a discussion and come to something
amicably. Shout out Elaine for really putting in an incredible, fuck ton of work, allowing this
to actually come to life. Well done. Honestly, I feel honored that what I don't always feel proud
about, I can now feel proud. So thank you.
Well, yeah, listen, you've done an amazing thing for a charity that we still have yet
to determine, but somebody that needs money is going to get helped out due to Travis really
going above and beyond and Jason going above and beyond to make sure that we have enough
money in that jar.
All right, here we go.
That wraps up another episode of New Heights.
Trav has got to catch a flight, but he made it happen.
