So how, hold on, how long was the Ares Tour? It was, I think. Over two years? Almost two years. Almost two years? March of the year that we played the show.

How many shows, do you know? Off the top of your head? 149 or 152, I forget which one it was. Jesus. Somewhere in there. A fuck ton. That is so many shows. Is kinda how I sum it up. 149 shows in 21 countries, wow. A fuck ton. There's so many shows. Is kind of how I sum it up. 149 shows in 21 countries. Wow.

It's insane. Absolutely insane. Over 10 million people in the stands over the course of it, like accumulatively. It's pretty crazy. Well, shout out to Tay. Shout out to everybody that was a part of that show. Obviously, it's her music, her tour and everything, but that was a full production, man. That thing.

Yeah, fair enough. It was the best tour in the world because of a lot of people and mostly because of Taylor. All right. Shout out to everybody, man. All righty. Walter Payton, Man of the Year. I don't know if all of you saw, but my brother, Travis Kelsey, Kansas City Chief, is nominated for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year from Chiefs owner Clark Hunt. Through his new ignition lab, the

growing 87 and running foundation, and his partnership with Operation Breakthrough, Travis has impacted the lives of thousands of young people in the Kansas City region and beyond. Very few athletes in the history of the game have balanced the same level of team success, individual accolades and community engagement. Trav, how does it feel to be nominated? This is awesome. It's a huge award. It is.

It is a huge award. I, you know, I love getting out here in the Kansas City community, man. I really do. They show up for each other so much and they do it with so much pride. And, you know, that's the beauty of having that relationship with the community, is always to try and make a better world for the ones that support you on game day, man, or need that help and that support in the community. I've just been so lucky that I came here to Kansas City and got the opportunity from the

Hunt family. I realized real early on that they were organization and and how they ran this organization was that they wanted everyone in the community making sure the people in Kansas City felt the support. That we feel on Sundays and the one thing that you see when you first walk in the building is all of the winners in all the winners of the man of the year in terms of you know. winners and all the winners of the man of the year in terms of, you know, how much like history Kansas City players have in this community. And, and everybody getting acknowledged for that. And I don't do it for the awards. I don't do it for the acknowledgement. I do it for the smiles on the kids faces at the ignition lab and at operation breakthrough and to see what they do with what we give them at their exposure. You're not lying. It's so cool to see what they have done with what they have to work with over there.

And this year will be the first year that we actually had the high school kids. Long story short, Operation Breakthrough is a beautiful organization in Kansas City that helps out a lot of the underserved kids, especially on the East side. Yeah, the program, when I first got to Kansas City, stopped in eighth grade. I really wanted to keep that going through the high school years because I know how much of a knucklehead I was and not having anywhere to go or a safe haven or just somewhere to perfect my craft after school. I don't know where the heck I would have been. I really wanted to extend that for Operation Breakthrough and that's when we created the

ignition lab, 87 and Running Ignition Lab, which is a STEM lab. It has everything from a mechanic shop, a muffler, a robotics lab, an entertainment studio, e-gaming. It has everything you could possibly need. A kitchen for kids that want to get into the culinary world. It's remarkable, honestly. Yeah. It's unbelievable. And I couldn't have done it without the support from KC and the support from everybody working at Operation Breakthrough. And sure enough, we couldn't have done this without the kids that actually want to make a difference with their lives. And that's the beauty of it. And that's why I do it, man. Yeah, no, I think it's awesome. And you know, they convert some of the vehicles to electric, they're converting my truck to electric. But one of the things we got to see was that fully electric

Chevelle that they're raffling off. That's what, yeah, how'd that feel? Dude, it rolls. It's pretty gnarly. It's cool as shit. It is cool. A a big guy like me It's tough for me to get in those old cars if you don't put pull the seats back, but man it is EMAILE is sweet man. I'll tell you those old school cars are just so freaking cool, man I think I got a 71 Chevelle That uh some people have made may have seen me drive before But this thing was one of a kind when you get there, you can you can feel how unique it is. Everything's kind of on that digital pad that they have. It's like a little iPad or just like a touchscreen that that you can put it in drive and reverse and

neutral and everything. And then from there, it has some pickup, it has some pickup, man. It's got the it's got those electric EV batteries in there. And the kids did an unbelievable job. And I think it was a smooth ride into the stadium the other day. It definitely doesn't have the rumble. And there's some of that that, like, obviously the old school gear heads, you know, they're going to want. But I think there's something really cool that Operation Breakthrough is doing

where they're they're taking these older vehicles or teaching these kids some of the things that is the automotive industry is going into and teaching them skills that not everybody really knows what's happening, especially in the EV world. So it's it's it's really cool. And on top of that, it's just, I mean, it's just beautiful. They did a great job with it. It's gorgeous in there. They have all the electric stuff, but they also have the old school knobs and whatnot. And oh, yeah, yeah, very true to

like kind of the way it used to be. So yeah, the seats. Yeah. Very true to like kind of the way it used to be. So, yeah, the seats. Yeah. Yeah. This is the this is the first year that that the kids who started in the initial ignition lab year, so that they're going to be seniors going into college. Yeah, they're all graduating. So it's it's a pretty cool to see kids, you know, start as freshmen and really latch on to things and now even going to go into college You know getting get an opportunity to be Arca an architecture major and things like that in college

And it's just so cool man. That's where that's why you do it. Well, no, that's why you That's why you do it and you can vote for Travis in the man of the year fan vote using Walter Payton man of the Year challenges Hashtag WPMOY challenge plus at TKLC on Twitter Congrats, Trav. That's awesome. I love you big. I appreciate it, man And uh, shout out the ignition lab and operation breakthrough for uh for just being the awesome Uh opportunity for these kids that they are man. Well, I drove in a 69 Chevelle Jason, you wrecked a helmet. Yeah.

Driving around in a little golf cart. It's okay. It did, it made it out all right. It passed the concussion test. Oh yeah. Look at this, dude. Look at that. Cruisin'.

You're hilarious. Cruisin', baby. You're literally the Philadelphia mascot. We literally stopped traffic to do these shoots, which I'm just like, this is going to be a fun bit. It's a fun bit. It's good. I love it, man.

Have you seen this golf cart before? Yeah. So the Eagles have this one. They also have a throwback one, like a Kelly Green version of it. They kind of live in the stadium and we thought it'd be funny. So we're going to use this footage, not this one, but we're going to use this footage in conjunction with the late night show. Gosh, I just took that one swerve a little bit too hard and that couldn't of course correct.

Oh, no, dude. That that can get dicey. No, for sure. Yeah. I mean, I stuck my arm out. It could have gone real bad. It could have gone horrendously bad. I've actually seen this go real bad, like stuck my arm out. It could have gone real bad. It could have gone horrendously bad I've actually seen this go real bad like broken hand bad on a golf course. You were on pavement

It's pavement. So I mean, it's nice and soft, you know golf courses are pretty hard with all that grass Hey guys, you came out unscathed man, I cut those wheels up and I was like, oh dear here it goes I could feel it coming big man. Luckily I had my wheels up and I was like, oh dear, here it goes. I could feel it coming. Big man. But luckily I had my helmet on and came out unscathed. Hilarious. Came out unscathed. Oh, nice.

Dad always told us to wear helmets. He did. Whenever you're riding your bike, your scooter, you're going to have a helmet on. Rollerblading. Hey, put a helmet on. Those helmets with the wings on them have been protecting me for a while. Pfft. So good.

This all new movie, yeah, this all new movie follows a young Mufasa as he meets his adoptive brother Taka, the heir to a royal bloodline and who you may also know by the other name, Scar.

Scar wasn't his original name. His name used to be Taka. Yeah, and he was the original heir to be the king. I would love to see where he got the scar from because I think that's why they call him Scar, he had the scar. Yeah, that makes sense. I've never thought about that. The brothers embark on a journey in search of their destiny, but their bonds will be tested as they work together to evade a threatening, but deadly foe. In the film, the brothers meet a lot of familiar faces along the way, introducing us to a younger version of many of our favorite

Alrighty starting with of course the Chiefs, that's right. Chiefs 19. Chargers 17. Man, come on. What's going on? Speak to me, Trav. Some good old fashioned AFC West division football, baby. Oh, you ain't lying. I think the Chargers are a fucking hell of a goddamn

football team. Harbaugh's got those guys playing their tail off, playing with a lot of heart. Chiefs with another one score win. Another one that came down to a field goal. Yeah, let's let's get right into the doink so New kicker matthew right from land caster pa Lancaster pa he's a pa guy. Yeah, he's right around in birds country. You know what? I don't think so, but he kind of has that pretty easy to tell He looks like maybe one of them that, you know,

just walked out of the barn and said, I'm good. Double doink, well, not double doink. Doink in. Double doink, you're gonna go there? It's Matt Nagy. You're gonna go there? He fuckin', that was a low blow, man. It's like Cody Parkey.

All right, let's get to the last drive. Pat starts wheelin' and dealin'. This is the worthy throw Dancing around big third down conversion on the third and ten Oh, we're gonna go into this. Look at this. We're gonna talk about some protections. Good. Oh, yeah, man P-ride came listen. We just talked about derwin Everyone's not fucking around man. No blitzes. He's he's Taking the back. I respect he's he's done that.

He's done that to guys all year. And it's not that he got put on his tail, but I mean, that was a that was a foot. Oh, this is a I respect the hell out of this is football right here. Yeah. Peter, I can look at that throwing their bodies in there. Yeah. Pat steps to the left, drifts. It's worthy for the first down. I mean, that was the biggest play of the game potentially right there. Next to this one. There we go.

We get a little boot action. Trav, it's been well recorded that you're supposed to keep running that corner out. You decide to sit. Well recorded what? You just. What? Supposed to run a corner. Travis, everybody said you were supposed to run a corner.

Who's everybody? Everybody that was a can. I think Pat said it. I'm pretty sure Pat said it. Fuck. No, but seriously, obviously, you know, what makes you sit right here? I mean, corner over top. You know the corner is not going to be open. I mean that corner.

The corner is actually playing the flat. This is cover two. And there's, you got to think of like the voids in cover two. Like the voids are sidelines And the whole shot in between the holes. Yeah, the whole shot in between the safety down the sideline I felt like I couldn't beat that safety there. But you have to leverage on you outside Yeah, angle like wasn't like a sheer catch yeah, so I started to just kind of like turn my shoulders squared up to Pat and

Sure enough and just kind of like turn my shoulders squared up to Pat and just kind of like felt that void. I knew where the hook to curl defender was. He then chased Pat because Pat looked like he was about to run. And I was just like, let me just kind of fill that void. Pat made an unbelievable play to keep it alive, making that first guy miss. And then sure enough, man, one five is always going to find find the open guy man. Trav catches it kneeling doesn't even try to get up knows he's got the game one just ball security don't do

any don't don't drop the baby. Just hold on to that thing. I knew the hit was coming too. I was like the safety's right behind me. Where is it at? Where is it at? Yep you know somebody's coming and yeah that sets up the game-winning goal attempt, which, you know, pretty close one. They're all hard though when the game's on the line and pull a little Tim Duncan action goes off the left upright and in banks open on Sundays, baby. There we go, baby. Yeah. What does feel like I'm a big fan of just scoring touchdowns, man,

and forcing the other team to have to score touchdowns. But I understand not even giving them a chance. And that's a very high percentage field goal right there. I think we're sitting at like 20 yards, 30 yards or something like that. It is what it is. I'm always here for what the team's decision is. That's why I didn't even think about getting up. I knew the situation we were in and what we were going to want to do once we got the first down was to kick a field goal and run the clock out. So if that's what the game plan is, baby, I'm all in.

Yeah, well, we did find out that Andy is not a game-winning field goal watcher. We have a clip of this. Oh, you want this? A little superstitious or just doesn't wanna watch? Yeah, the crowd will tell him. Look at this, wow. Yeah, baby, yeah, baby. Look at that smile. Yeah, baby. Yeah, baby.

Oh, man. You're my guy. Pacheco back out there rolling downhill, man. Him and Big Red having a fucking good time after this one. Division game, man. Division on the line. Won the division for the what? Whatever year. Against a really fucking good Chargers team. You can't tell me that Justin Herbert

isn't one of the best fucking quarterbacks in the National Football League, man. Dude, he's ballin' this year. He's had some games. He can sling that pill. I mean, he's ballin' every year. It feels like with Harbaugh gettin' there, it feels like some of that swagger's back with that team.

You know, the leaders on that team, the coaches coming in, Coach Minner, Coach Elston, our guys. Elston's there too. Rick was with me in Philadelphia. Was he really? Jesse's dad. Yeah. Nice. I didn't know that. He's a fellow Bearcat coach as well. Yep. But yeah, they got that thing figured out right now. They're playing really,

really good football, man. And they played us pretty goddamn tough both times. We uh, we got them Absolutely, definitely pat had some postgame quotes. I truly believe we are close Closer than we were last year at this point. I would agree with that I think it's a very good statement by pat. I think at this point last year It was you guys had just lost to us And it was looking kind of down for the chiefs and you guys got it going. I kind of think it is looking better.

I think offensively at this point last year, it was, we didn't even know that it was going to get worse. We, you know, it's it, it went all the way through Christmas and we, we were lucky, we had two games after Christmas to be able to figure it out. But it was a different situation. I just think you guys have a good roster. You guys I think that I'll be honest, and we've talked about a little bit. I think the protections have been a thing that have thrown off the offense a little bit. I thought the protections are a lot better yesterday. Humphries look good. I don't know what his hamstring looks like, but he did a good job at left

tackle last this last game. He's came in the building and been a fucking all star professional, man. He's just been the just a high energy guy loves what he does, comes in shows how much he loves this game and how much he appreciates being in the being in the in the situation to play football. I just love the guy for for that mentality and his his hard work, man. It sucks that the first game he gets in, man. He gets the hamstring. He'll be back. He'll be back regardless, even if he's back this week or whenever. I think that's going to help out a lot of things because I felt like that's been

something that's thrown off the timing and rhythm a little bit, and that'll help Pat out. It'll help everything out. I do want to say this, though. Pat is nearly unstoppable. It is so crazy watching him in two minute situations. Before the half, you guys go and get a touchdown, end a game when you need to get a drive together, he somehow finds a way to convert and move the ball down so that you guys are in field goal range. Why are you guys just not always in two point, just run two point offense? Like what are we even doing running the rest of the offense? Just let Paco do two minutes. Like

I don't even know why we're wasting time. A little up tempo. It does, you know what up tempo does. Just be two minutes. Not even, you can even huddle. Just huddle, just go do two minutes. Just tell Pat before every drive, Pat, hey, we got two minutes left. We just started the game. All that sounds good. All that sounds good until, you know, the thing is, is when you go two minutes, it's typically a little bit more basic

plays, right? It's kind of like set plays, the defense is running very simple defenses, and it kind of simplifies everything from what you're seeing. For sure. I can find voids easier. I can, you know, I see what the defense is in before the snap because they can't dick around at the line of scrimmage or give us a crazy look at the line of scrimmage while we're in two minutes.

Right. Yeah. So it's just, it definitely makes the game easier, but at the same time, you can't do that shit all game. That shit will get fucking stopped in a heartbeat if you do that shit all game. I don't know. I haven't seen anybody stop Pat yet. It might be worth trying.

I'm just saying. Just let that go out there being point guard. You ain't lying, man. Patty Mahomes, baby. The big yeti got another milestone. Travis Kelsey became the fastest tight end NFL history. 172 games to reach 12,000 career receiving yards. Previous record was held by none other than Tony Gonzalez in 210 games.

Lebron stayed a real step. God damn. He played 210 games? Well he got, he played more than that. It took him 210 games to get the 12,000 career receiving yards. He ended with 15,000. So he played a lot of games. Tony played a lot of games. That's, that's almost 40 more games. I don't know if I played 40 more. Well, I mean, listen, that's a lot more games. Well, I mean, listen, that's a lot more games. Fuck!

Again, Tony played more than 210. Tony played, I mean, he got 15,000. Yeah, that was, yeah, that's insane. Tony's longevity is insane. How did he fucking do it? God damn. I remember he had like some type of protein that I used to take. Maybe that was it.

He was into spearfishing, maybe he was harnessing the power of the sun. I think he was 270. There you go. 270. One with the coal. That's so many games. So many games. That's crazy. How many did he play altogether? Can we get that thrown up there real quick?

It says right here, he played 270 regular season games. He played a whole 100 more than what I'm at right now. It's outrageous. It's no, it's outrageous. Oh my gosh, no fucking chance. Guys, built different. I mean, that's so impressive. Dude, I'm pretty sure he got into the league before he was 21 and then on top of that, he played until he was 36, 37? Oh, he played longer than 36, 37.

I don't know, man. Pretty sure it was like 17 years. Yeah. Insane is what he did. He he's 48 now. Why? Why did we need to know that? We're trying to do some math. When did he retire? You could just retire with the Falcons. When? Like right before they went to the Superbowl. You're probably right. About 38 years old, right? 37, 38. Yeah. the Falcons when like right before they went to the super ball. Right about 38 years old, right? 37, 38. Yeah. So 13, 11

years. Yeah, you're you're 1000%. Right. I'll stop talking. Either way, unbelievably impressive. So now won the AFC West for nine straight seasons. The idea before we move on,, it's so funny being on these lists with Tony because every single time it puts in perspective what he actually did when he was in the National Football League. And it'll never be touched. It's a much different league too. There's no way. There's no way. It's like, it's so fucking mind blowing that he did that and back when football was football. I mean, he did it.

And you could literally get your head taken off. He played that long in a league where there was two a days during training camp. The hitting, they would take your head off as a safety. I remember that Dawkins clip on Algie Crumpler. Dude, what? That was legal. Crack backs. You better be, that is check. You can do that. They used to actually teach you head on a swivel. I don't even think they teach head on a swivel. My first- Because it doesn't matter. You don't even need to have a head on a swivel. You don't even have to-

There's no repercussions. Nope. If you get- Just run around aimlessly. It's a penalty and a fine and a hefty fine at that. Back when they were just in Astro turf, which is just a carpet rolled over fucking cement. You remember playing on Lakewood High School? Yeah, that had the Astro. That was outrageous. Worst. He played whole NFL players. Tell everybody to bring gym shoes.

Instead of cleats. Yeah, dude. Yeah, you have to bring basketball shoes. No, if you ever run on your carpet in your living room, that's exactly what this is. Baseball diamonds. Everybody had a joint stadium with the baseball teams. You're just talking about the vet. Absolutely insane, man. Football was crazy back in the day. Yeah, well, it's still pretty crazy. You know what else is crazy is the Chiefs have won the AFC West nine straight seasons. Yes, sir This is outrageous. I mean talk about domination. Sorry to the rest of the AFC West, but this is Unbelievable. The last time Kansas City didn't win the division Patrick Holmes was still playing college baseball

It's pretty fucking that's a great fucking that's a LeBron stand if I've ever that's funny as hell nice That's we'll talk about perspective week 15 Travis is headed back to the 216. That's a great fucking. That's a LeBron stand if I've ever heard. That's funny as hell. Nice. That's what we're talking about. Perspective. Week 15, Travis is headed back to the 216. That's right. They take on the Browns. Yes, sir. And potentially the greatest soundbite quarterback of all time, James Winston. You excited for the homecoming? Oh, yeah, man. Oh, yeah, man.

You know, we're Cleveland guys to to heart and to the core. So I've played there once and I am so excited to be able to get back there. It was it was a dream come true playing in front of Cleveland. You've only played there once? Yeah, man, I've only been I've only been back when it was first energy. Dude, I went to that game. Somehow I was able to go to that game. Kareem Hunt was his first year with the Browns.

He had just been with the Browns. No, no, no, no. You guys still? Kareem has like double come back to Kareem had three touchdowns and I had to. Got it. Yeah, it was. It was a cream one off type of day. Yeah. But yeah, there was a it was it was a dream come true to score in the end zone and be right there in front of the dog pound. A little different catching some birds, some middle fingers and some booze and some barks

from the enemy side of perspective. But I still love Cleveland for it, man. And it's such an honor playing back in Cleveland and it's going to be a fun day, man. It's going to be a fun day. And hopefully we can go in there and get into a dog fight with the the dog pound And have some fun man. Well Inter Brandon's gonna be in attendance. Does that add any additional pressure to this game? No, love Brandon though. Thanks for coming man. That's cool. What is bright? Why are you being Cleveland Brandon? Why not? Why do you sound like why do you say it like that? Why would that be a beautiful December?

Yeah. Are you kidding me? Can we stop? Well, you see how fast I flipped that on you, Jason? Can we stop? Just judo you just fucking put you in a blender. Can we can we explain why we're actually going to be in Cleveland now? A friend of a friend has a connection to the Browns was like, do you just want to go to the Browns game? It's like, sure. Fine. I'll do 36 hours in Cleveland. There you go. Where are you staying?

The birds are flying around man initial thoughts on the game Jason Well, they got the nine straight. It was not the cleanest game for the Eagles, but they found a way to win. And I think that, you know, right now they're,

listen, they've been playing so good and the level has been so high of everybody's excitement for this team. I actually think it's really good that this game is close and they got brought back down to earth. The Panthers have been doing this to a lot of teams recently. Bryce Young is playing a lot better, made a hell of a lot of plays scrambling and making plays down the field. Oh, I know. They've been playing teams close, including one of the teams in the FC West. So I think this is all in all, obviously happy the Eagles

got a win and I think that they'll get out, obviously happy the Eagles got to win and I think that they'll get out of this game and they got nine straight. Yeah, I mean, it's hard to win football games. Right now they're sitting at 11 and two. So it was a lot of fun. It was also fun to actually go to a game. I haven't been to a game really that many this year. Oh, nice.

You went to it. Yeah, we went to it. We took the kids. What? I know, dude. It was awesome. It was awesome. How were the girls at the games? They enjoy them? They were great. They didn't give one crap about the football game,

but they had a blast eating a bunch of food and popcorn and running around all over the place like crazy lunatics. So yeah, it was really cool. What is this text? Yeah, we were on a group chat text, me, Jake and Brandon. Yeah, this is on the legette. Looked like he caught it and rolled into the end zone on their last, you know, drive. Yeah. And yeah, I think everybody in the stadium before you saw the replay thought it was a touchdown because he came up with a pretty clean and Jake said this. Holy shit, that was close. You replied with a butthole puckered up a bit, huh?

Yeah. You gotta have a loose caboose, man. You can't let that, you gotta keep your composure. You can't, you can't pucker up. Listen, I don't play anymore. So now I just sit there and my butthole puckers because I have zero control. If I have control, I'd have a loose butthole,

but because I don't have control, my butthole gets tight. That's the way it works well played biggest story coming out of the eagles game are uh unfortunately comments from aj brown yeah when asked about the issues facing the offense he simply said passing he thinks passing is uh is the issue um also admitted that it's incredibly tough for the receivers to get into a rhythm when the offense is only passing the ball 20 times a game. Succinct. Well, AJ, I don't know if you know this, but Saquon Barkley is arguably the MVP in the

NFL. Handing him the ball a lot is kind of like a really good thing. It is. Yeah. No, it works out. I understand. You're really good too. And getting you the ball a lot is kind of like a really good thing. It is. Yeah. No, it works out. I understand. You're really good, too. And getting you the ball a lot is a really good thing. Yeah. I mean, personally, I just think, you know, listen, he's frustrated after a game, right? Yeah. They barely beat a team that they know they should have performed better. There's been a lot of stuff made about this comment from AJ.

A lot of stuff made about Jalen's comment about offense and synchronization and whatnot. And ultimately, I just think it's two guys that are frustrated after a game in which they didn't meet the standard that they hold for themselves. And they know the offense doesn't meet the standard that it holds for itself. And unfortunately, we live in a day and age, and we both know this very well, where things that you say, I don't know how long AJ sat there and talked to reporters, but it's probably like 10 minutes, I bet. And this is the only thing that really trends, right?

All the other stuff that gets said doesn't. The reality is when you're frustrated after a game, sometimes you're answering things in a heated moment. I know I've been there. I know everybody I've damn near played with has been there. This is what happens when you have highly competitive individuals that know that they can be contributing more or know that the offense can be better than it is or that the team can be better than it is. There's also BG had some comments.

I know AJ Brown is a tremendous teammate and a guy that I loved being on the same team with. He's a guy that's highly competitive and wants to win and have an impact on the game. And I think that that's what you want in a star receiver or player in general of that caliber. I know Jalen Hurts operates in a very similar fashion. They've also played a lot of ball together. They played a lot of ball in the NFL. Nick Sirianni is a great coach. Kella Moore has done a phenomenal job with the offense.

These are things that happen. There was somebody saying, I think one of Jalen's comments was, should you be still figuring this out, week 13 in the NFL? He said no. I understand why he said that because you're almost to the, you're you're you're almost to the playoffs. We should be getting have everything dialed in. But the reality is you're always figuring this out. This is the way the league works.

Like you're even no matter where you're at, you're constantly trying to iron things out, make things better. That's the only way you become one of the best teams in the NFL. That's the only way. Is by the continually going through that process. Yeah, like you just said, this team has an identity right now. And that identity has been running the ball with Saquon Barkley and exposing the secondary when they commit to stopping that run.

And they have all of those pieces able to do that. I understand that balance is going to help. That's just the reality. I think as an offense, you want to have balance. But I really like where the identity has been. For the most part, it's been really good and has led to them beating. They just beat the Ravens, right? One of the best teams in the NFL in Baltimore. I know they're frustrated

with this game, but let's not lose sight. The defense is playing lights out. We're one of the best teams in the NFC. And all of these guys are really, really good. I tend to think that these comments and all this media stuff is only going to bring these guys closer together. That's where I look at it. When stuff like this happens, I think that these guys are going to be galvanized because they realize how good they are. Kellan Moore and all these guys are going to keepvanized because they realize how good they are. Kellen Moore and all these guys are gonna keep growing this offense to be the best dialed in machine it can be

by the postseason. And I'm very excited for where all this stuff is headed. Unbelievable talent on that football team, especially on the offensive side, only one football, bub. You only got one ball to get it around and whether you're running it, you're throwing it, it's going to one guy. Unless you're lateral.

Then it goes to two guys. That's why I lateral. Because I'm just trying to spread the ball. Spread the love man. You got to spread the love man. We got to get Saquon lateral into AJ. Get this thing going. Get this thing going. Get this thing going.

Siri, honey, let's go, baby. Anyways, my man, Grant Calcatera caught his first touchdown pass in the NFL this week. Dude, I, so not only was this video of his family going nuts, it kind of went viral. Here we go. Check him out. Check him out. Nice. Nice. Nice. Well, it looks just like him. So that would add up. I was about to say, yeah, were they watching this again in the bar after the game? I thought that was him. Not only were these guys going nuts on the video, but I went down on the field afterwards and saw he had a bunch of family that was there. His dad was there. His mom was there. Nice. And everybody was fired up about Grant getting his first touchdown pass.

This is one of the guys too, that like the whole team gets fired up about when they get their first touch. Like Dallas got us out. Grant's actually had a number of like big seam catches. He's, he's having a really good year for the Eagles, especially as a pass catcher. And he's been a guy that's always gone in there and done the dirty work over the last couple of years, doing slice blocks, running counters, like doing all this stuff that like no other tight end wants to do. And whenever a guy like that gets rewarded and all of a sudden to start is catching a touchdown pass. I think that that's something that everybody gets fired up about. Fires you up, baby, hell yeah. Including his football family,

not just his regular family. So congrats Grant, yeah, it was awesome. Hopefully the first of many for you brother. Yeah baby. Yeah, next week the Eagles are hosting Mr. Unlimited, Russell Wilson and the Steelers. Probably worth noting that the last time the Eagles played the Steelers,

A.J. Brown had six catches for 156 yards and scored three touchdowns. So yeah, maybe it's time to go back to throwing the ball. Maybe we should pass the ball. Maybe it's time to go back to throwing that thing. That's what A.J. He just knew we were playing the Steelers next week. So he's like, all right, I'm going to put this out there. I'm going to set this shit up right now. I'm going to put this out there right now. We need to work on passing. Yeah. Yeah, I like that. We did a voicemail question about the Steelers that we are going to answer. Are we doing that now? Or is this happening in voice mail? We're doing it now.

Okay. Hey, fellas. This is Patrick from Pittsburgh. Long time listener, first time caller. Two quick questions. First one is more so for Travis Travis as the greatest tight end to ever play the game. What is your honest opinion of Pat Friar moves? Oh second What is it like to be standing on the field at Akershorst Stadium in the fourth quarter whenever they play renegade? Oh Bye dude, there we go. So first of all, the times field, I'll never not call it Hinesfield. I'm not forever dealing with this nonsense. You only get one stadium name when it first comes out that I'm

sticking to it. I'm over the corporate name and rename and it's over. It's it's it's Hinesfield. You don't like arrowhead for it. Just like I don't care who pays for Jacobs fields name. It's Jacobs field. I don't give a fuck. What you call that? No, it's pays for Jacob's Fields name. It's Jacob's field. I don't give a fuck what you call that. Aggressive. No, it's not. It's Jacob's field. That's where dude, that's where Arrowhead gets it right,

because it's always the Jihad at Arrowhead. So Arrowhead always remains the same. I can't deal with this like I'm not whatever. Jihad, Jihad. I'm not doing I'm not doing it. I'm not I'm I'm not doing it. I'm not, I'm not re, like you can't. Heinz Field is a fucking special. They had the tomato ketchup bottle going down.

Like what are we talking about? Yeah. So good. It is such a special place to play, man. And I'm pumped. I get to play on Christmas out there, man. So anyways, listen, as my professional you know 13 year career and and nothing to do with tight end play I think Pat Friar Moot is a hell of a tight end I think he's doing a tremendous job. Nice. He asked me that question. He needs to work on his footwork a little bit. Shut the fuck up. He is not clumsy footed at all. Sometimes sometimes why are you taking what I watch him sometimes when I watch him play he looks like a friar

South he looks like a fire south not a friar muth. I don't even know what the fuck I'm going with this All right, you take it good. I see you trying it. You're trying to have some fun with them No, Pat is actually he's one of my favorite tight ends to watch man. He's um, he's savvy in his route running He's very he's very like tight or quarterback friendly, which he knows angles coming out to where he knows he can get a guarantee catch and quarterbacks fucking love it. When you, you come out your breaks insert with certain angles, uh, depending on where the defender closest to you is,

you come out at an angle specific to the leverage of the defender, not just running the route that's on the paper. Exactly. And, and he does a great job of feeling voids like that and feeling how, how he needs to get in and out of breaks. And then on top of that, he's just a tough football player, man. I think he embodies the, the Steeler kind of way to play, which is like that steel curtain, that, that toughness that you got to play with, man. He's willing to, you know, stick his face in the fan and do whatever he needs to do for play with, man. He's willing to stick his face in the fan and do whatever he needs to do for his team, man.

I think he, yeah, the Pittsburgh toughness, when I think of Pittsburgh tight ends, I think of Heath Miller. Oh yeah, Heath. Heath. And when he used to catch the ball, he would just have it. Heath.

Him and Big Ben were always on the same fucking page. They would just, in the middle of a run, he'd just like Miller a fucking wink and he just run like a little seam route and he just quick 10 yards, just fucking truck everybody. Now don't get me wrong. They're two completely different players, but they do have that same Pittsburgh toughness. But um, yeah, there is what is it about those those like tough fan base

future, bright future? What is it about those fan bases that really love tight ends? I think you're honest. Because when I think I thought of the same thing with everything you were just saying, I thought of Heath Miller. Like when I think of Pittsburgh, I think about tight ends. I think it's honestly when I think about the Eagles, I think of tight ends. I certainly think about tight ends with Kansas City. Oh, who's your who's your who's your who's your favorite Eagles tight end?

My favorite Eagles side in. Don't make me do this. Don't make me do this. Don't make me do this. Come on. I'm not doing this because I got too many buddies. I got close friends. I can't pick one or the other. All right.

All right. All right. Mine's Zekerts, but I do love Dallas. I can't wait to tell Selick. I fucking love. You just said that. He's going to be so pissed at you. Chad Lewis is another favorite of mine.

Chad Lewis. I should have just gone pre my teammate years in, you know, yeah, anyways. So many good ones, man. So many good ones. Celzy, come on, we already know he's at the top of the list. Yeah, I think the second part of the question I don't even remember answering.

Oh, the Renegade. Renegade. Oh mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long time of the long. If it's a really close game, you feel that like tension build in the stadium. It's pretty dope. If it's the other way around, then you don't really feel it like that. Yeah. But usually the defense is really good. Their defense is really good. So usually it is close.

So usually you feel it a lot. Yeah. And the whole stadium gets into it. This is another thing that Ryan Clark pointed out to me when we were there. Everybody wears their team's jerseys, but it feels like Pittsburgh is even like that on 1,000. I don't think anybody goes to that game without wearing an actual Pittsburgh Steelers jersey. They all wear the jerseys throughout the day in the city.

I don't know, man. I think Arrowhead is very, I mean, I see a lot of jerseys in there. Pretty crazy. The amount of Steelers fans that were in legitimate jerseys at the game. I think that's something that they, that's like a thing. I mean, every fan base wears jerseys, but a lot of jerseys in Pittsburgh. So especially when renegades go in. I don't know what it is about. I just, I think it was growing up wearing black and gold and that's Cleveland Heights. I mean, that's Cleveland Heights. I recognize I just I think it was growing up wearing black and gold and

I mean, that's Cleveland Heights. I just go does always I recognize it more. I don't know what it is I don't know everybody's color combination black and gold. It's just a good color combo. It's so good It's so good And then you add that that cool fucking old-school Steelers logo in there like so iconic What's what are the what are your favorite color combos of teams? Like black and gold is one of them. I'll say this, I've always loved the color green. Not just because I'm an Eagles fan. I just love the color green.

One of my favorite color combos, I don't have anything to do with the team. Oakland A's, the green and yellow is just a, it is a awesome. It's iconic dude. Like I know, I mean, Green Bay Packers, Oakland A's, the green and yellow is just, it is a awesome. I know, I mean, Green Bay Packers, but for some reason that Oakland A's, it just stands out as one of the coolest.

Yeah, it's just a dope hat. They're the Sacramento A's now. I think of the same thing with the Super Sox. Soon to be the Vegas A's. Oh, they're moving now too? Oh yeah, they're out of there. Everybody's leaving Oakland for Vegas. It's unfortunate, man. Oakland's a it's a beautiful sports town. Yeah, maybe it is just green and yellow because I thought of the supersonics jerseys and like, like,

those are some dynamite freaking. I think they're trying to bring a team back to the NBA team back to Seattle to what's what another, what are your favorites? My favorites? I'm an old school Cavs, a 90s Cavs. I knew you were gonna go there. I fucking love this combo. Are you talking about blue and orange? Are you talking about, I kinda like the blue and black. I like the splash jerseys, the one where it looked like they had paint

going across their jerseys. I gotcha. You know what I mean? Like that very end of the Mark Price years, the Sean Kemp years, the 96, 97, 98. They had the blue and black on those ones. Those are my favorite too. I think I'm with them. I love those ones. There's something about blue and black where it kind of clashes, but it works. And then the hint of that orange in, it has that orange in there. I'm a big orange guy too. Is that because of the browns? Are we just subliminally been

affected our whole lives? We have. That was one thing. I like Bronco's jerseys because I like brown. I like the color orange. I just like oranges. Yeah. Like Orioles. Orioles have a good color combo because I like the orange. I don't know what it is. Oh, Orioles are another god damn. It's a good one right there.

I think I just like have been like the pirates are black and gold. This is all just comes back to our childhood. Penguins, yeah. Does everybody else feel this way or is it just us? I don't know. Talk to us 92 percenters. And that does it for catching up with the Eagles and Panthers. Shout out to the Eagles for finding a way to get a win against a sneaky good team and

Thank you for your voicemail, man I'll be excited to hear renegade in the fourth quarter on Christmas Alrighty, let's hit a little bit more from the biggest stories from week 14 in the NFL starting This is going on this week. Yeah starting with the gambling Dan Campbell a lot of talk about Dan Campbell The gambling Dan Campbell, a lot of talk about Dan Campbell declining to kick and keeping his offense on the field on fourth and one up three at the Green Bay 21 with 43 seconds left. I don't, I mean, listen, fourth and one, you go for it. I'm, I'm a thousand percent in on Dan and they're starting to see this. We're going to get to the Rams game, but they did on fourth and five. They were like, yeah, we can't give Josh Allen the ball back. And I think that, you know, Dan's been criticized a little bit about those fourth down decisions last year in the playoffs. But this gambling Dan Campbell, man, that's why he has been

where he's been. These Lions win a lot of games because of these decisions of being aggressive and because they're a really good football team. Dude, there's just something that's so likable about this guy. Dude, he was, I think I've said it on's so likable about this guy. Dude, he was I check out this thing. I've said it on here before. He was one of the guys he was down in Miami as a tight end coach. Yeah. Back in 2013 when I was coming out and I was like, man, I want to fucking play for that guy.

That guy seems like a fucking great coach. He seems like he gets the best out of guys. Seems like he's all in tough son of a gun. And sure enough, man, you can see, you know, as the years go on, how great of a coach he really is and how he can really embody, get guys embody that toughness and play for him. And, and yeah, it's, it's, it's a dagger when you, when you see guys running the ball like this, big points in the game and converting it, even with their quarterback fucking tripping over his feet. That was crazy. Shout out the golf man. Hell yeah.

He found a way to hand that fucker off bad. Golly. More power to feed out the way. O-line's got to do a job. Come on. Also shout out the Dan skipper. I love, I love that. Dan is just like, there's always these sound bites that Dan Campbell gives towards skip. Let's do it. I told you, you never forget this game. You will never forget this game. We don't have to talk about how tough we are. We don't have to talk about how resilient we are. We live it, man. We've been living it. Where's our defense? Where's our defense? That's the way to step up, man.

That's a way to step up. Are you going to skip? Keep throwing up. Whatever you're doing. How could you not love that guy? I mean, Jesus, this football, a football legend, man. Hell, yeah. Just exudes passion for his players, for the sport.

Freaking Dan's over there giving it everything he's got. He's throwing up. Gosh, I'm a great freaking. Yeah, they got a lot of great stuff going on. Green Bay's got a lot of great stuff going on, too. They've been playing lights out. And I mean, that was a hell of a game to watch. Lions find a way to get it done against Green Bay.

But they got a huge one next week against the Buffalo Bills who just had a huge loss to the Rams. Yes, big loss. A lot of people are saying game of the year. Maybe. Dude, it was insane. I think it was a 42-44. Like that's I mean, that's a high powered, two high powered offenses going at it right there, man.

It was, it was, it was what it was, this high powered quarterback play. These guys were playing out of their mind. Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen were going off. The Rams dominated the majority of the game. I kind of hesitate to say that, but they did. They were winning for the majority of the game. They're winning by more than one score. The majority of the game. Josh Allen in the second half was impressive, to say the least.

He was scrambling. He was making big throws, whether it was to back Hollins or what is it? Shakir. He was a man on a mission to come back and will the Buffalo Bills to victory. And we just talked about the fourth down decision with Dan Campbell, the fourth decision by McVeigh in the 40 in the Rams to go for it on fourth and five, which ultimately led to a Puka touchdown was absolutely enormous.

Hell of a route by Atwell coming across the middle of the field. Hits Atwell, then all of a sudden the Puka scores on a screen. The very next play Puka went off. That catch on the sideline, toe-tapper. What the heck? Dude is so good, man. Yeah. Storm and Mormon, man. Yeah. Storm and Mormon, man.

Rams are coming on. Now that they're all healthy, Cup is back, Pook is back, O-Line is healthy, Matthew Stafford can still sling that ball. My God, DeMarcus Robinson having a fucking hell of a year this year. D-Rob, man. Fuck, I love you. Go DeMarcus. Go DeMarcus. Are the Rams an NFC sleeper team or are to Marcus. Go to Marcus. Are the Rams the NFC sleeper team or are they everybody's nobody's sleeping on the Rams? I think that people might have been sleeping a little bit when

they were injured. But I think everybody now is definitely not sleeping. You know, Stafford and McVeigh have been proven to be very, very good. They can put up points with the best of them. So yeah, these guys are now that they're all healthy now that everybody's back You can tell they're getting dialed in again It's gonna be interesting to see how the NFC West plays out But the Rams are football and for some non football news about that getting into some non football news Juan Soto just signed

arguably the Most ridiculous fucking contract I've ever heard in my life. Oh my god. Is that real? Yes. I mean, we're like five to ten years away from seeing an MLB player make or sign like a billion dollar contract. Fifteen years? I remember when he was insane. Who the hell's a 15

year. That is just seems like so outrageously long. How old is he? How old is one soda? I think he's only 25. He's under contract with the New York Mets until he's until he's 40. That's a big gamble. That just seems so outrageous. And it's all guaranteed. Right? 41. He's 26 right now. And it's all guaranteed, right? Fully guaranteed, yeah. Baseball's guaranteed. 41, he's 26 right now. So he's under contract until he's 41. How the fuck, this is, good job. I mean, the baseball union, I don't know how this,

they finagled this stuff, but wow. They've been around for years and years and they've been around for fucking over centuries. NFL unions gotta get their stuff together. 15 years. That seems like a joke. It does. You know what I mean? Like, it just doesn't even seem...

I'm not sure if the 15 years or the $765 million that comes with those 15 years. To me, it's less than the $765 million. I mean, that's an outrageous number. You're expecting him to play as good as he's playing right now until he's 41. That's what just blows my mind. I mean, in 15 years, I guess the thought is in 15 years, or even just in 10 years, the salary cap is going to be drastically different because inflation and how that works. But it just feels like, I mean, it's an outrageously long contract. It's mind blowing. My mind can't really wrap my head around it.

Perpet McAfee, he's going to make $5,902 an hour for the next 15 years. That's a pretty good salary. God damn it. It's pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty good. Congratulations, Juan Soto.

Yeah. And he was, I mean, I got to see it live in action. That dude is a fucking beast. Yeah, he's really, I mean, there's a reason, I mean, the reason he's got paid $765 million over the next 15 years. Yeah, pretty good. Damn, is it a vanilla contract though?

How, like, what's it, is he deferred? There's gotta be all sorts of stuff in there. Is he getting paid until he's like fucking 80? There's gotta be all sorts of stuff in there.

Okay, let's get some voicemail, Trav. Let's do it. Before we get out of here, we're going to answer some not-dumb questions that came to the Heights Hotline. No Dumb Questions is brought to you by Disney's Mufasa, The Lion King. I love these kind of movies, man. It's like that like CGI, like...-action. Yeah, I love that shit man I'm so in on this. I don't know what it is about movies where fucking animals are talking, but I love them Yeah, I don't care whether it's live-action whether it's cartoon. I just fucking love them. Let's get to the first caller intern Brandon first caller

What's up, boys? My name is Jason and this is my question for a hashtag no dumb questions What's up, boys? My name is Jason and this is my question for hashtag no dumb questions Now you guys have probably been asked this a thousand times, but what is the Worst and I mean the absolute worst place you could take a woman on a date like bottom of the barrel like There's no way in hell you're getting a second date if you take a girl there All right now boys take take care. Dina. I got a few coming to mind.

Anything that she has no idea what's fucking going on? Yeah. I don't know, man. What is the worst? I've only thought of like good date ideas. I've never thought of the worst date ideas. I mean, I feel like a lot of the times it's really what you make of it and your attitude and stuff that really... Yeah, I feel like I lot of the times it's really what you make of it and your attitude and stuff that really.

Yeah, I feel like I can make anything shake. Maybe don't take her to the strip club. I don't fucking know. That's a good one. Definitely don't take her to the strip club. Don't do that. Although some strip clubs do have really good wings. I have heard.

Yeah, me too. Don't know anything about it. I think I got something to go one time. Yeah, strip club. Definitely don't take her to the strip club. That's definitely the worst answer. If she's not into sports, don't take her to a fucking sports game. No, take her to a sports game. If you're into it, I don't want to. There's nothing worse than trying to teach somebody about something that they don't want

to be taught about. Well, listen, if she doesn't have the open mind to freaking go, then you don't want to go on a second date with her. It's okay. Nice. I mean, I to freaking go, then you don't want to go on a second date with her. It's okay. Nice. I mean, I'll go... Listen, I don't want to watch Love Actually, but I'm going to watch it because Kylie wants to watch it. So we're going to watch Love Actually. That's part of being an open-minded, considerate partner.

That's a good point. So I guess what we're trying to say is there's no real worst date. It's just picking the right woman to go on the date with. Yeah. The worst first date location is to take her to some place that you don't want to go. Like if you're the one activating it, but you're saying we're going here. We just had to find it out. Yeah. We found it. Go someplace that you want to go that you think you'll be, you're excited to take her. Yeah. I think that's it. There you go.

Worst is the opposite of that. You got it, Jason. All right. Not you, not you, the other Jason. Next caller. Next caller. Hey guys, I was listening to this week's episode of My Way to Work, I'm about to go into the office,

and I was just wondering why no one in the NFL plays, does the annexation of Puerto Rico play from Little Giants? I hope you answer this because I've wondered it for a long time. Thanks Well, thank you for listening first of all I appreciate you listening on the way into work and I hope your day at work was that much better because you listened to us and Because you asked about the annexation of Puerto Rico I'll let you know right now that it is arguably the worst play that you could ever run

in an actual football game. It worked so perfect because there were kids and it was a movie and there's no fucking way in hell. I will take this back. I have seen it done in college games and I don't think it ended up being a game-winning touchdown, but it did get some yards Can we I don't remember some of those one-off? It's where they snap it happen. It's a fumble. They put it they put the ball on the ground act like it's a toss

Yep, and then somebody else picks it up puts it like I don't the center foot like sits on it like he's See where it's at something like that's doesn't see where it's at. Something like that. I gotta see if it's a legal play. It's one of those old, it is a legal play for sure. Okay. Maybe. I'm not sure if the, I don't remember if the.

The formation. Actually like, yeah, the initial like snap is changes possession because it has to. It has to actually be possessed by the quarterback. Yeah. For it to count. As by the quarterback. Yeah for it to count as a Legal snap. Yeah, or to somebody we've seen it happen a lot Some of these trick plays like the annexation Puerto Rico or like a reverse pass or a funky formation

Some of them are just It's the NFL like the people guys aren't getting fucking tricked. I mean guys get tricked all the time Travis. I don't know man That's like you're a flanker. That's your entire career has been tricking people. No, not like that Well, I think Travis is on something it's probably not a play that's gonna work very well in the NFL Mm-hmm fun to watch in a movie. What's a kid's play that's going to work very well in the NFL. Fun to watch in a movie. What's a kid's name that designs it in Little Giants? No idea.

Four Eyes? I can't say what that thing is. That's the wrong character, but that guy's awesome too. No, that's the same character. No, it's not. Yes, it is. No, it's not. He's like the coach essentially.

Oh, it's from Borowski. All right. Well, I need to go back and watch Little Giants again. What are these for? So that the guys at the morgue can identify our bodies. No, what are these for? Intimidation. So fucking good. We got to remake Little Giants, man. All righty. That's it for No Numb Questions brought to you by Disney's Mufasa, the Lion

Did you know that after World War II, the US government quietly brought former Nazi scientists to America in a covert operation to advance military technology? Or that in the 1950s, the US Army conducted a secret experiment by releasing bacteria over San Francisco to test how a biological attack might spread without alerting the public? These might sound like conspiracy theories, but they're not. They're well-documented government operations that have been hidden away in classified files for decades.
