We're also got an update on our March madness brackets not going so well. My strategy did not turn out good. And neither to mine. We have an incredible conversation with NBA champion Jason Tatum. That's right. Oh, yeah. Gonna talk about his time

at Duke winning an NBA title. And he's gonna answer some no dumb questions from all you guys. I thought you were gonna bring up his narrow hips and you never did it. Not one time. I didn't I was too much of a chicken shit. You always bring up someone's narrow hips and you just didn't do it. I know. We got sidetracked because the conversation was so

great. He's awesome. I gotta remember to think about that stuff beforehand. Anyways, before we get to that, it's time for a little bit of that. New news. That's right. NFL News First results of the cap expert poll. Travis, you said you weren't in on the cap expert poll.

I said that maybe the fans would appreciate it. You said, let's put it to a vote. And we did. That's right. New Heights has voted man 81.5% Want the cap expert poll nice. All right. Well Get ready get ready to hear some numbers and here's some nerds. Here we go boys who doesn't love nerds I mean, I'm I'm in on nerds I just didn't everybody else was

That's goes to show you if you're in on it. Usually most people most of the people are in on it Maybe not so much, but all right, who should we have on? We have we have obviously the two big ones for both of us are Howie and Veach The two general managers for our respective teams. I think that'd be fun a Howie and Veach episode We've already had Howie on though. We have had Howie on. Well, yes, you didn't talk to him, but we did have him on at the Combine one year.

We could go outside of the organizations and go to somebody who is just maybe used to work in the NFL or works in the media. Nick Wright threw his hat in the ring on Twitter. Nice. Known Kansas City chief, Homer. Fucking love Nick Wright. There's also a four there is a guy that used to work with the Eagles that no longer works. I feel very confident would be very interesting interview. Nobody knows his name. But yeah, all right. Let's let's do it. So many of you guys can follow along with the

undergoing of the cap. It's inner workings, what these numbers mean, contracts that are made to make it look like a guy is making something. But usually I hate to see that. Oh, they just wanted to press release. Got it. OK. Yeah, we go. We've got a long off season. Might be fun to do like an NFL dirty jobs like NFL staffers interviews. What other people that work in the NFL would be interesting to talk to? I mean, I wouldn't say dirty jobs. We got some fucking we got some top tier talent

in terms of personalities in the Kansas City Chiefs organization. Got my guy, Alan Wright, who's been around for, it feels like a hundred years. I'm pretty sure he was, he's been the equipment manager since like the sixties, I think. I think he was here when they moved to Kansas City. Yeah, I would love to hear how, especially dealing with like sponsors, like he's been through it through like Reebok and Nike and all these different like equipment and all the how he's seen the helmets progress. That's what I'm saying, dude, if we could, we if somehow we could get like equipment from when he first got into the NFL.

And like you could do with each piece you do with helmets when he first got into the NFL. And like you could do with each piece you do with helmets when he first got into where they're at now. shoulder pads to now I mean, even knee pads. Well, knee pads probably the one thing that hasn't changed much. thigh pads changed a lot. People used to wear hip pads and butt pads. Bring those like the hardest. That was the hardest thing to get ready. When you were a little kid much keeping those hip pads and tail pads in man.

Yeah, man. They used to be the fucking worst. You had to fucking take the rinky-dink belt. Yeah. Anyways, didn't do a single freaking thing. Yeah, got my guy pistol Pete making sure making sure the place is spick and span and everybody's happy with the vibes. Pistol Pete, oh he's a custodian?

Janitor? What's the correct word? Jack of all trades, Jack of all trades. He's just doing everything he needs. Just keeping everything running smoothly. There you go. Love it, love it. I think maybe even a trainer episode.

I'm all in on the trainer episode. I think the trainers. Get some love to my trainers over there. We got got my man Joe Appel has been winning quite the awards. Oh, yeah Shout out to Joe glove Julie Let's start off with the what the 92 percenters want and that looks like they want to talk numbers I'm sure we'll be able to find a way to make it interesting trap

We always do neck rolls that's funny as hell. Yeah, bring back the neck rolls. There's still guys out here that are rocking them for sure. I used to wear a neck roll. Looks way different. Way less conspicuous. Way more inconspicuous now. The pads used to be fucking the size of SUVs. Yeah. All right. Let's keep it moving. Brandon Graham retires on top of the world.

There we go. BG Congrats on a hell of a fucking career. Big guy. Obviously retired on Tuesday and you know, the press conference very emotional. Listen, I've been talking to BG for a long time and obviously he made it known before the season. It was going to be his final year He was playing so good before his tricep injury I was I was like man is he gonna do it again and he still could like you could definitely still play

He rushed it. He wanted to play in the Super Bowl really bad end up re tearing his tricep in the Super Bowl and it just tells you the type of competitor and person he is and Just what a pitbull he was for the Philadelphia Eagles for 15 years. Even though he announced before the season he was going to retire, it's hard to make that announcement official. And I think that that's why you see such an emotional moment out of the guy. And as someone who's been there before, you put so much into this game. The finality of it happening, no matter how much you thought about it or

talked about it is intense. And I don't know that there's anybody in my tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles that put more into the game as a player as a teammate. He loved football. He loved his teammates. You don't play it that long unless you love it, man. It's it's going to be very I mean, now Fletch me, B BG lanes the only one left. He had this tweet up there over the weekend Classic. Yeah classic lane, but you know, I think it's just I don't know that anybody represented What it is to be a Philadelphia Eagle more than Brandon like the the genuine love to be on the field for your teammates The energy he brought on a daily basis.

Yeah. I was fortunate to see him Monday that week and I saw him later that week after the announcement and just very happy for him, very happy for his family and looking forward to what's next. So shout out to you, BG. Love you, man. I'm sure I'll stick around Philly just like you did, man.

I think that's the plan. I think there's obviously some opportunities in media. Wouldn't be surprised if, you know, like Selig and some of the other guys you stick in and myself who sticks around the team and tries to help out where he can. You know, it's just a guy that loves the game and the organization so much. So really happy for him. Shout out to BG. They got the billboards out. Oh, yeah, you know, Philly is always gonna make sure that he get those billboards out there.

It's iconic Brandon Graham. They try snack the picture of that. Nice working. Nice. the picture of that nice not working nice Philly does it right they always support the most loyal to the to the city and BG was one of them baby as he as he always will be as he always will be he ain't going nowhere anytime fast we know that yeah the Browns tweeted out a look at a proposed new indoor stadium. Okay. How about that, man?

The Browns, everyone's going indoor because of the, what is this thing? Oh, it's something really stupid out in Brook Park that they're trying to get everybody excited about the stadium no longer being in downtown Cleveland. I just, I don't know why, what it is about me. Boo! I don't know what it is about

We just we I Know listen, I know I know Kansas City's stadium and everything is like city sports Like towns. It just it feels better when it's downtown. It's way better They just don't want to pay for it, Travis, or they don't want to cooperate with the city. That's the only reason this is not in downtown Cleveland and they can make it out about like space. There's plenty of space and buildings that they can overtake

and like I'm not trying to hear none of this. So yeah, looks beautiful. Great rendering. It's going to be fun driving out there. Look real nice. What about driving down Park? You're driving downtown. It's part of whether you like it or not. Downtown is an economic driver, even though the city of Cleveland is not quite the economic driver you would like it to be. Listen, I like when stadiums and everything are downtown in the

hearts of the cities. I think it's one of the beautiful things that Philly has and hopefully it remains that way. Yeah, I'm not a fan. I don't know what you're gonna say. I don't like it. Yeah, I would tell you what though. It doesn't matter how cool it is. I'm not gonna like it.

This thing looks sweet. I like the old stadium because it's downtown. I'd rather play in a dilapidated stadium than this. This looks epic. It looks great. It looks like some shit out of like Star Wars. It does look pretty cool. It looks like a spaceship. That thing looks awesome.

Just do it downtown, Cleveland. We love it. We love it being around. It's already, I think it's already official. It's not going to be downtown. It's unfortunate. It's a proposed $2.4 billion stadium in Brook Park. Do you at least agree that indoor stadium is kind

of going against the nature of living up there on the lake? I don't like anything about this. I don't like that it's not downtown. I don't like that it's indoor. I don't like anything about this. And I'm sorry if I'm in, maybe I'm so detached from Cleveland that I'm not in the majority here. I don't know what the majority of Clevelanders want, which is really what is most important. Yeah. All I know is I like when the elements play a role in the game. I like when snow is involved. We had an awesome playoff game here at the link this year in the snow against the Rams. That wouldn't have happened with an indoor stadium. I don't like indoor stadiums. I don't care. I'll put a jacket on and go watch football.

Do you think that outdoor stadiums should get more looks for Super Bowls? Yeah, I do. I think you think do you think a Lambo should get a Super Bowl or like how they did in New York? It'll never happen because it's not a big enough city to to handle the business and everything else that happens that we did it in Minnesota. Minnesota is a much bigger city than Green Bay, Wisconsin, Travis. Very true. I'll give you. We had a shoot bowl in Minneapolis. Did it suck that it was in the cold all week? Yeah, but it's cool going to every city that's around. Now that was an indoor. It was an experience, man. I liked the, it was a fun experience.

You're walking through the tunnels or the catwalks that connect all the buildings. It was fun. Listen, I'm on record. I like when the elements play a role. I like when the elements play a role in football. I like that. That's one of the unique things about the game. I've heard a lot of arguments that like it levels the playing field for worst teams. I don't

care. I like that it's a different element that you have to deal with. I don't. Guess what? If the other team is worse than you, but they're better that day. That's what football is. I don't know what you want. The best team that is going to win a series doesn't always happen. That's one of the great things about football. Whoever's better on that day, and the elements matter. I don't like indoor stadiums unless you play in the south because the heat fucking sucks. I like snow.

I fucking hate the heat. The heat is miserable. It's the worst. I don't like the indoor stadiums and I don't like that it's going to be in Brook Park. There's 0% that I like about what's gonna be in Brook Park. There's zero percent That I like about what's happening in Cleveland right now just make it a retractable roof and keep the elements and then when you want to fucking do a stadium for a Live show in December close the roof. I would be okay with that if it's retractable, but it's open during games No matter what yeah

and then you can still because that's a big reason why they make these in like a big reason they do these especially in quarter climates that you can do year round events in there. Yeah. So the owners and the NFL make more money off the year round events. Yeah, which I get listen, it's a business. We got to make money. All indoors regardless should have the situation that Vegas and Arizona have of the field going in and out. It just, it has to be grass. This turf stuff has to fucking kick rocks, man.

I mean, I'm with you on that. All right. Well, at least we agreed on something. So you're a fan of the soap? Do you like the stadium? No. I mean, I think the stadium looks fucking beautiful. I think it's very cool. We were kids when they got a new stadium. I don't think The stadium that they have is outdated. I mean, it's I guess it's 20 years old. It is Older than 20 years. It's almost 25 Yeah, it was built in 97-99

798 and then the team came back in 99. Yeah. So it's close to 30 years old. I mean, it's not like I mean, I don't know what the average age of an NFL stadium is, but it ain't new. That's for sure. Not anymore. I don't know why I like it when they're downtown. I don't like when I'm with you, man. I'm with you. Like I think it's something that's so cool. It's just something about taking the rapids all the way downtown. And I'm sure they'll have some sort of way that you could take

the rapids out to Brook Park from everywhere in Cleveland. But it's just it's just such a unique feeling going downtown, feeling the excitement of everyone going down to the to the busiest part of city in that atmosphere that it creates in Cleveland, for sure. Yeah, the entire metropolitan area is Cleveland, right? That's what way we associated with, right? It's not Brook Park. So going out to play in Brook Park doesn't feel as cool to me.

It doesn't feel like it's as much Cleveland. I'm pretty sure municipal. I'm not sure where municipal stadium was in Cleveland, but I don't think it was downtown. This was municipal stadium. Yeah, it was downtown. Pretty sure. was. Municipal stadium? Yeah, it was downtown? Pretty sure. All right, well, you're better than me.

I thought it was, oh, the NBA team used to play out in Richfield. That's where I'm thinking. The Cavs used to play out. And then they moved that downtown. They created the Gateway Sports District in the 90s. And that brought both teams downtown. And that's when the baseball team was thriving.

NBA was at its peak. Oh no. Yeah, the Cleveland Municipal Stadium was on the lake. Yeah, there you go. I think it was like right by where the... First Energy or Huntington Bank is. Yeah. All right, well, let's keep it moving.

Shout out to Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Well done, guys. Jason's DEXA scan. What are you over there talking about? What do you got going? Bo Allen reached out and honey Bobo. He said, Hey, do you want to do a competition and who can lose the most body fat percentage, but still gain muscle? I don't know. Bo wants to have some competition. So we

agreed to get Dexa scans. So I got a Dexa scan for the first time. Ah, very fat. I see. It is a lot of fat in there. Yeah, it is. It's kind of embarrassing seeing your body broken down like this. I'm not gonna lie. It's a good calf to hamstring ratio, I think. Trav, what do you think my total mass is? I'm not sure what that's even what you're even asking me.

Weight. What do you think my weight is? Your weight? Your weight is your weight your weight is 283 Close close. I'm 276.6 according to the scan my lean mass you've lost 30 pounds. That's crazy. I've lost 20 pounds I was never heavier than 300. Well, I did maybe a couple times those tip 300 in the NFL It's all the same. Go ahead. Lean mass 207 pounds of muscle. It's pretty good. Strong man. It's a strong man right there. 58.7 pounds of fat.

It's a lot of fat. We got to get that down. We got to get that down. According to this metric, it is exactly 21, 21% body fat. That's all I know. 21% of your body is fat. 21.2. All right. Yeah. I mean, two seventies, you're fucking hefty load, dude. Big man. So I get it. I get it. But that is a lot of, that's a lot of muscle as well All right. So what's the point? What's the point of this this uh, you and bo you and bo just wanted to have a dude

This is what you do. This is why you're still playing this is why you're still playing football because when you retire You have to do stupid competitions like this to keep your sanity So bo and I are going to try and lose as much body fat percentage as possible in three months We have the ocean drive event that we do for the Eagles Autism Foundation every year. So what was, do we know Bo? What was Bo's Dex's scale? Where is he at? Bo's at 18 point something.

So I'm actually slight advantage. Yeah, yeah. Slight advantage for the competition. Yeah, yeah. He's 18% body fat and I think 280 something. So Bo's, Honey Bobo's doing all right. 18 at fucking two. So he weighs more than you but has less body fat. Well, have you ever seen Bose

ass? Bose got a big old dunk on him. I was about to say I think he that's the disadvantage right there. Yeah, Bo. I think his lean mass is like 220. So he's got like roughly 15 pounds of muscle more than me too. Okay, so this is how the competition works. For every percentage lost, we get two points. Okay, so every percentage of body fat you lose two points. For every lean mass pound gained, you get a point. So if you get muscle on you get a point and if you lose body fat percentage, you get two points. I don't know why we determine this point system. If you heard this competition before. Listen, Bo was really specific in the way he wanted this judged.

And then he said the loser has to wear a Speedo at the ocean drive event. Is this just a competition? That's what it feels like. It feels like Bo just wants to wear a Speedo. That's what it feels like. He just wants to wear a Speedo at the ocean drive. He has less fat to give up. He wants to be like, Oh, I have to wear a Speedo. Twist my arm. Oh no, Jason won. That's hilarious. I feel like we can't let that be the factor that happens if you lose. I think it is.

I think it's motivation for you. I think we should open this up. We should. Oh yeah, I definitely don't want to wear a Speedo. I'm definitely packing that thing if I have to. I'm packing it with the socks and anything I can fit in there. If we do lose, I think we should leave it up to the fans on Twitter. Oh my gosh. Throw out different recommendations about what we should have to do if we lose.

And then we'll take it to a poll. And then we'll take it to a poll. All right. If both of the centers, though, if you're open to that, though, well, I don't want to say 92 percenters because green lights involved too. We're going to have to find a way to involve centers and green light. Yeah, we're going gonna have to find a way to the Centers and green light. Yeah We're gonna have to find a way to involve both fan bases and choosing this nice But I think that this could be a lot of fun a lot of fun. There you go The guy did say apparently you can you can see how like dense your bones are with this thing He said my head was one of the thickest heads. He's ever

You know Dexter scanned. Yeah, I don't know if that's the years of hitting it or heads he's ever, you know, Dexascan'd. Yeah. I don't know if that's the years of hitting it or if that's just like genetic or both. I think it's all, I might have, I got a fucking dome, but I don't think I'm dense. Oh, I think it's dense. Not much up there. Well, that's because it's packed so tightly.

It's hard to get stuff out. All right, biggest new news, 92%, is we're officially launching our new Heights YouTube membership. Hey-o! That's right. As a member, you'll get access to full episodes, video perks such as footage that never makes it to the feed,

Thank you to all the 92%ers who tag us with all of this beautiful hobby horsing. That's right. Abby Rad Milovich, I believe is how you say it.

Not sure how this ended up on my algorithm, but it seems. Check this out. Look at this. This chick is. you say it. I'm not sure how this ended up on my algorithm, but it seems look at this. This chick is Jim. I mean, this is impressive Travis. She is straight jumping over hurdles that are taller than her. Yeah. Makes you ask how much how much higher she could jump if she didn't have that silly. He can fucking be.

You ever just tried high jumping? You can go represent your country and. I think this might be more challenging than high jumping. If we're being honest, I mean. I'm over this, Jason. What? This is more challenging? She's gotta do like a whole gate, look at the frolic,

and then she's frolicing into a high jump There's a lot more form and technique involved in this I cannot agree to that but I do think this is the most impressive hobby horsie thing I've seen the bar is at her neck and she's jumping over it straight Yeah, she invent that technique or is this something that's like common in hobby horsing? We're gonna need just a sister to jump in on this one. Yep, we do Should I try hobby horsing? I mean only if like when you hit the bar It doesn't just fall off the thing if the bar is there for good

Meaning if you hit it you will fuck your shit up. You want me to get hurt? Yes, but if it's just I'm not. No, I want to see I want to see a life or death situation. I don't want to see just I'm itching to go jumping over. I want to get into it. You know what I want to jump in rugby. You just popped your I want to play all this stuff. I think Yeah, no, but I got on the ice. I finally got on the ice dude. Nice. How was it dude? I literally look like happy Gilmore Trying out for a hockey team like it is so bad

It is a full send for me, but it is I you could tell I am off balance You could tell every slap shot. I had up on the ice So how'd you how to make you feel like a little kid, I loved every fucking bit of it. The best. Dude, it was fucking epic. It was so much fucking fun. I just wanna go around different beer leagues and freaking just play. I'm with you, dude.

Doesn't that sound fun? Yeah, is there a beer league that you could just, every league in Philadelphia, just tell them just have you like just sponsored sponsor the league and be like I can join any team at a kid coming. I can't be doing every beer league, but I even want to do like stuff that's like obscure like hobby horse center like darts or I guess darts isn't I shouldn't throw that in with. Have you ever seen Gaelic

football? There's a league around our block. A bunch of like Irish people. There's a large contingency in Havertown. And a lot of them will play Gaelic football where you like, it's this weird sport where you have to dribble, you have to touch the ball with your foot, but they carry it with their hands. So like every two steps, they're kicking the ball back up to their hands. Like they're dribbling. And then there's a- Okay, I think I've seen this, yeah. And then there's also a goalie and a goal.

So it's like soccer combined with like rugby. And it's very hard to explain. I'm here, I love backyard games. Those things are the fucking funnest. It's not a backyard game. This is like, in Ireland, there's a full on like league. And it's kind of cool. You have to play for the county that you live in

for Gaelic football. Like wherever you're from, you can't play for like another county, I don't think. I think you have to play for the county that you grew up in. But it's baseball. You're just combining different games. It does sound, it does feel like that,

but I think it's an older, I think it's been around for a minute, maybe not. It's also hurling, I could try hurling. Guess I'm just naming Irish games Yeah, it'd be fun though. This all sounds great. I'll probably get hurt Jesus Not if you unfatten yourself Jason nice. We'll shout out to the the fan mention of the week there Um, I say we toss it to the old Jason Tatum interview

from St. Louis, Missouri. He's a McDonald's All American six time NBA All-Star from the reigning NBA, Boston Celtics, Jason Tatum everyone! Yeah baby! Let's go! NBA champion, JT, how we doing brother? I'm doing good, thanks for having me.

No, thanks for coming on. Yeah, we saw the ankle injury up there in Sacramento, man. Hopefully everything's good and you'll be a you'll be back on the court ASAP brother. But how's it? How's everything feeling? I'm feeling good, man. It's a few benefits to being 27. You know, you recover a little bit. Let them know that I'm living. Man, what it was like. Oh, I can remember the day I sprayed my calf jumping rope the other day.

That's what I did. Yeah, that rope the other day. That's what I did Yeah, that's awesome, man. What's uh, dude the Celtics were just sold, right? Yeah recently six point one billion dollars What was your cut? I won't disclose that on this Will play smart man right there's a smart man. I don't know nothing That's that had to be like interesting news though for you as a player. Like I've never had my like organization sold before. It's always been the same ownership since the 60s, essentially, same family. Is it like, do you expect to have like a different feel in the building or? A different feel?

I don't think so. I think the weirdest part was when I found out that it was the process was going to start was like a few days after we won a championship. So that was a that was a weird conversation. But, you know, after I used to start to understand the process and, you know, the candidates and things like that. And I actually got to meet Bill last night. He came to Sacramento, him and his wife, seemed like great people and we've had a few conversations. So just looking to add to what we have, obviously we have a really good thing going and like where our culture is at. Heck yeah.

All right. Well, Wikipedia has got you nicknamed the anomaly. Has anybody that is close to you ever actually called you the anomaly? Man, Twitter is not a real place Austin. I concur. I would run with that one. I like it. The anomaly is a good one. I don't know who came up with that. It is a banger. You are the anomaly dog. What's like one of the most random nicknames that

you've gotten? Maybe not even on Twitter, just like growing up or like in the park or wherever. A lot of my close friends, they call me Taco. Taco? Taco? That's what I wasn't expecting that one. Is this cause you like tacos? What is the, why taco? What's the connection there?

This, that's my favorite. My mom, my favorite thing that my mom used to make when I was growing up. I used to eat tacos all the time. Shout out mom for making some banging tacos. We going corn tortilla, flour tortilla, what we going with? I'm a real simple guy, hard shell, ground beef.

Hard shell, that's what I'm talking about man. My hard shell guy too man. And some sausage, I don't need much. Okay, all right. After one year at Duke, you were drafted just at 19 years old. I don't know what the fuck I would be doing if I was a professional at 19, let alone a professional NBA player. What was, you got to tell us, what was the silliest thing you bought with your first

like NBA check? Did you do anything crazy? Did you like go out and grab something insane like a fucking human sized hamster ball or some shit? To me, I would always tell people the best part or the best part of I guess, experiencing, you know, having money for the first time at such a young age,

I can go to the grocery store and just buy whatever I wanted. Everything. I could go to CVS store and just buy whatever I wanted. Everything. I could go to CVS and I could get 10 bottles of soap. And it's just like. How about a lot of here, you get a lot of tacos. You can have a ticket box. You can get a whole lot of tacos with that.

That's good shit right there. But that was like, it wasn't anything crazy expensive. It was just like, I remember going to the grocery store with my mom and you know, having a budget to get one of each. Oh yeah. And we go to the grocery store, we get what we know, having the budget to get one of each. And we go to the grocery store, we get what we want. The pantry's full. You know it, man.

I remember when I was 19, Xbox was like the big thing and Halo and all them games are still popular, but you couldn't really play online like they had just started to do that. So you have to do these called the LAN connections. You have to ever have to do the LAN connection where you would link them with an ethernet cable? This might even be before. This is how old we are, Travis.

People don't even know about the LAN, the LAN connection anymore. You're insane. This is all people talk about is ethernet cable. Go ahead, Jason. All right, whatever. Either way, we would rig them through the dorms up and through the ceilings

so you could play with each other in different dorm rooms. Anyways, that would have been what I would have done. I would have rigged up the most dope setup of Xbox as I could have figured out. Jason turned 19 and found out he was eligible to go and get a loan out so then he could then buy a TV to play video games on that was bigger than the TV he already has. So that's what we were doing when we were 19. But Stuff in the Pantry definitely

does it man. That had to. That had to be fucking crazy. Are you a fan of the one and done rule? Like the year at Duke, did you think it made you that much better and prepared for the NBA? Or do you think you might have been able to be one of those guys that just jumped straight to the NBA? Good question, Trav. Man, people ask me that all the time. I would like to think I would have still figured it out, but I benefited so much from going to college in the sense of like, when I got to college, that was my first time playing with other really good players. I went to Duke, we were the number one recruiting class and we had Grayson Allen and Luke Kennard.

We had like seven pros on our team. So it was the first time learning to like play off the ball, play with other really good players. Yeah. Being in those environments, lift weights, condition, learn about nutrition. I would do it all over again. Like I would go back knowing what I know now.

I learned a lot and it prepared me for when I got to the NBA. Yeah, for sure, man. It's, uh, it's cool to hear though, that it kind of like, it gets your professionalism. It makes you understand how to be a pro, especially at a program like Duke. Yeah. With coach K and everybody. I'm sure you, you, you saw the, the, what is it? The, the prestige of it. And you were like, you bought in immediately. Let's talk a little March Madness

Jason you want to hit it? Yeah, let's talk college while we're on college. We'll stay where we're at right now. We're in the best time of college basketball that there is March Madness in full effect. Did you fill out a bracket? Yeah, I mean, it was pretty easy for me. It was just a straight line for Duke all the way to the championship. You knew McNeese was going to be Clemson.

Knew it. I mean, the final of my bracket every year is the same. This is the best I've felt about my bracket in a very, very long time. I'm sure. Yeah, I don't know. What do you think so far? Who's in your final four outside of Duke? Obviously, we're pulling Duke. Who else did you think was going to is going to get all number ones or what? No, my final fours are out.

I'm screwed. I'm out of this thing. Houston, Florida and Michigan State. I got Michigan State Duke and Jason. We're in Michigan State. JT, it's all about physicality, toughness, good coaching. That's what it's about, Travis. You just hyped this man up more than you could ever

imagine you just did. This is coming from a guy that literally just looks at what school would beat up the other school in a fight. And that's who he picks. That's what a basketball game is, to fight, to get the ball through the hole. I'm into that team. I like them in the fight for sure. Detroit.

I should have said the mint, not Detroit. Yeah. Yeah, I got dude going all the way, man. Cooper Flags been an unbelievable player. He's got a lot of hype. I know you were playing against him a little bit in the USA practices. The first time I saw him play live was,

this was two summers ago, I hosted my first JT Elite Camp. So I had like the best 20, 25 players in the country, you know, that were sophomores and juniors or whatever. So it's been cool to see like hanging around those guys there for a weekend and a lot of them are in a tournament now. Thank you. And you know, the first impression I had of Coop was just how hard he played, how he competed.

You know, in high school, it's rare to see a guy that wants to guard the other best player trying to block every shot rebound and he just plays the right way. He has a great feel for the game. He knows how to set a screen, he knows when to cut. He likes to get his teammates involved. And you know, it's been on full display all season and a big reason why, you know, they have a chance to win a championship. Thank you. I love it. One of the things I love doing now that I'm older players watching young guys, sometimes it's the way they move. Sometimes it's their mentality, but you pick up on things and it's just fun seeing a young player that, man, I really think there's something in that kid. And then all of a sudden, you know,

this kid is the best player in the country. And I'm sure that has to be awesome for you, especially playing for Duke. It's a brotherhood. It has to be, man. Yeah. Everybody who ever played for the program, whether they 10 years older than me or 10 years younger, like whenever we see each other, it's always love.

I always go back and work out with the with the team and play pickup with them and stuff like that. Because that's what happened when I was there. Jabari Parker came back to little Okufur, all these guys. So it's just, it's a part of the program is the pride that comes with it. And you just you want to help push it forward. And you know, I'm always rooting for him. And, you know, I hope they cut the nest down this year. Not only is it a brotherhood, but it's also a sisterhood.

You just donated shoes to the Dukes women's team. It's a whole family over there, man. I sent, actually, I sent both the programs some shoes, but Carol Lawson, she was an assistant coach with the Celtics my third year. The year the pandemic happened, we went to the bubble. Oh, nice. A week into the bubble, she got the,

or it might've been like two days, she got the head coaching job at Duke. So we spent I spent like six months with her. Unbelievable person, unbelievable coach, love it or death. So anytime that I, you know, support them and help that program out. I try. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Nice, man. They gave a walk on some minutes in the first two games. I mean, that's pretty good when you're giving a walk on.

Walk on is getting in like Duke's playing pretty good basketball. Belt to ass. I hear it. Hell yeah. That's just got to be electric. Every time I used to go to the UC basketball games and the walk ons we get in, man, the crowd knows that which guys are in, and it just gets fucking nuts in there

if they can get a shot off or at least make a bucket. Yeah, and it's probably the same with the guys on the practice squad. Like, you guys, they- Oh yeah, for sure. They spend all their time with you in the practice squad and film and workouts every single day with you, and then they finally get opportunity,

even if it's at the end of the game, right? You just, you're really happy for them because you understand, you know, they, they which every step of the way, but they might not always get the, the opportunity or the recognition, but they're just as much as part of the team as, you know, the rest of the guys.

For sure. Was it always Duke? Was Duke like the top team for you? Did you always like love them growing up and did you always like see yourself going there? Who was on JT's leaderboard growing up or what jersey did you have on growing up? I had a Evan Turner Ohio State jersey.

Oh my gosh. E. Turner, yeah. Wow. Okay, okay. I mean, you grew up in St. Louis so there's a little bit of big ten country Midwest Little bit area and Ohio State was at the top of the top of the charts for for quite a while around those years For sure and football as well. So like I played football for like seven eight years when I was younger

What position what were you playing? You're playing wide out. Where are you playing time out? We're not we're not getting off of this yet Yeah, we're not going off I played quarterback for the first six years and then where I received my last two so My last year I played was eighth grade, so I was going to play in high school But then you know my parents was like think we're going You might be drafted in only four more years. We should probably stick to this. Yeah. But we went to Florida twice. I won the JFL national championship in Florida lost one year. I never forget we played

this team called the Delaray rocks. They was like green and white. What made them unforgettable? belt to hash. They Yeah. grown men on the field. For sure. Dallas Carter and what is it, Friday Night Lights? All those guys. That's too funny, man.

We all played against a team like that, especially in middle school, man. We used to play a team down the hill called Kurt. Yep. And they were right there in East Cleveland, man. It felt like they had kids that were 18 years old. If I mean, I had never been ran the fuck over like that at that age ever in my life. I was always one of the

Shaw was the high school. Kirk was the middle school. Yeah, Kirk was bad too, because a lot of the kids were held back. I wrestled a kid with a beard in middle school. That was talking about intimidating. You're an eighth grader. You just started your pubes and all of a sudden this guy's got a full beard across from you. Like I don't know. I was like what is going on right now?

Right? I won. I got him. I got him. So if it wasn't Duke, if it wasn't Duke, who were you thinking about going to? How say was on the list or so I was a big Ohio State fan like growing up.

Yeah, even when they had to repriorging junior, I used to love football teams were crazy. basketball team. You know, when I got older and I got to high school, it really came down to so I only took one official visit. Like I only took one official visit to Duke. And I knew right away when I was there. I was a junior high school and I was like, this is this is where I want to be a long shot. My second choice would have been St. Louis University just because.

Hometown. I thought I might have been homesick if I left. So there was a part of me that like, man, I think I might want to stay close to my family. Yeah. You know, after I took my visit, it was really like, you know, this is, if I want to get to that next step, this is going to be the best place for me to go.

Before we get out of this March Madness stuff, what's your first memory of March Madness? I'm going to be like, if I want to get to that next step, this is going to be the best place for me to go before we get out of this March Madness stuff. What's your first memory of March Madness? Like what can you take me back to being in St. Louis and and having the the love for basketball

following the tournament and one of the biggest moments growing up? Um honestly, I would have to say I vividly remember in 2010, Brad Stevens probably not gonna like this, but I remember with Butler, I remember watching Butler play against Duke and Gordon Hay were shooting at a half course shot.

Yeah. In the back for the women out. And actually, ironically, I was cheering for Butler at that point. I didn't hate Duke, but I never envisioned myself, right? I never thought Coach K would come to my house and, and recruit me. So Duke just seemed kind of like out of the realm or the possibility. So that was my earliest memory of just watching Butler and, and Duke play in the national championship and just envisioning myself like, man, one day,

you know, I'm gonna play in March Madness. And, you know, it came true. Oh yeah. We can't talk about Duke without talking about Coach K. What was it like playing for coach? It was quite the experience for sure. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you gotta tell us, man. No, man, coach, that's my guy.

He's an unbelievable person. Somebody that I still talk to, obviously, you know, pretty frequently to this day. He still always checks up on me. That's awesome. A leader amongst men, right? He just, his ability to motivate guys, to get you to buy in, to get you to run through a wall.

And you guys know, being in college, like being coaching 18 to 21 year olds and getting them to believe in something bigger than Themselves, I think he was unbelievable at that. He was great at Making you uncomfortable in ways that he knew that it would make you better nice being at Duke and playing for coach K it it definitely prepared me for the next level and It wasn't always great moments. He cussed me out a lot and and things like that. But it was well wanted. In those moments.

That's what I'm talking about. I love some good tough love, man. Got to have it sometimes. Made me criticize myself more and that's how that's how I ended up getting better to start criticizing myself on everything. Whenever you have a coach who's really trying to push you, you're gonna have those moments. I know I've had it with every great coach ever been with and

every great teammate. Like, you're gonna have those moments. I know I've had it with every great coach ever been with and every great teammate. Like if you're always just comfortable around people, you're usually not testing those extremes to make each other better. That's just the reality of it. I've been cussed out by my dad in football. I mean, everybody's given it to me. So it's part of the territory.

For sure. Oh man, that just reminded me one a dad's best one of his best rules. He never was a basketball guy. And I ended up like gravitating towards basketball around like, elementary school and middle school really took off for me in high school. I took it serious. And he always told me he said, if you're if you're not getting three, at least three files a game, you're not being aggressive enough. You get five. You get five.

That's solid. We're being honest. That's solid advice. For sure. Until you get three in the first quarter. All right. All right. I need to get a big guy. It really is. So he's like, you're gonna be an intimidator. Oh, I was gonna ask you, John Shire, man, Coach Shire, was he there when you were there? Yeah, John is a, he's the guy that actually recruited me.

Is that right? What? He was going door to door, trying to get guys to come to Duke. I joke with him all the time that, you know, he should thank me that he is the head coach now. I let him know. I let him know. But no, John, I talk to John every single day.

That's awesome, man. That is, that's my guy. He's done an unbelievable job. He was recruiting Luke Canard out of Akron. We had a tournament. I think I was a sophomore. I might've been a freshman, freshman or sophomore, and we had a tournament in Milwaukee. Canard was supposed to play on the court next to me, but I don't think his game started yet.

So I think John was waiting on his game to start, and he just happened to sit down and watch our game. And I tapped one of my teammates, I'm like, yo, he coach, he work at Duke. And we had like 10 minutes left, and I was just like, I just got to it. Yeah. That just worked,

he's like one of the greatest shooters ever at Duke. He is. He just came back to the next game and the next game and then eventually got a call that Duke had offered me his scholarship and never looked back. So I remember Shire chucking threes during his times at Duke.

In his prime and your prime at Duke only, who was a better shooter? I mean, he gonna see this. At Duke. Ah, he gonna see it. I love the preface. Like. Ah! I'll give it to John.

When I was at Duke. I hear you. He was a better shooter at Duke, but. There you go. There you go. So, you're in your eighth season. do you finally feel like an NBA veteran? You know, I mean, obviously came in at 19 now you've championships you've been in for a while now. Like, I mean, how's it feel differently than your rookie year? What?

What's What have you learned most from your rookie season? Oh, man, I can write a book. We'll be looking for it. You can catch it on Audible. Shout out. Do I feel like a vet? No. I just turned 27. You guys probably know. I feel like I got drafted yesterday.

I remember what it felt like. But year after year, it's like when the rookies come in and you'll see their comments or interviews at the draft and like, you know, who did you model your game after? And now I'm starting to be one of the guys that they looked up to. And that transition is like, whoa, you're still in your twenties, man. I remember looking up the KD. I just got here.

What do you? I guess I'm transitioning into an NBA veteran just because, you know, I've been in playoffs every year. I played over 100 playoff games. So basketball terms, yes. But, you know, I just turned 27, so I still feel just as young. Well, speaking of other guys looking up to you, who are the vets that you looked up to? Who did you model your game after?

Man, I mean, Kobe was my idol. That was my favorite player. Kind of like why I fell in love with the game. Guys that I really studied, Katie would be at the top of that list. Mello, Paul George. Then I get to the league and you guys probably understand this as good as anybody, Al Horford from a professional

standpoint, like somebody that came to work every day, had a routine, had a plan, whether it was a practice day, a game day or off day, that was so beneficial to me. When I was young, I just think I could show up, put my shoes on and get on the court. And Al really showed me, not even by telling me, just by like watching him go through his routine. And now he's in, I was in year 18 and still a vital part of a championship team. I learned so much from him of, you know, what it is like to have a routine and create your own and

what works best for you. I think that's so important for any young guy coming into the league is like, you need a routine, you need a plan every day. And your plan is going to look different from other guys. But every single day, you should know what you need to attack what you need to do to get yourself ready for you know, whatever it is to come up. I love what you just said, because it's so true. Everybody has players you look to growing up. And that's the end product that's on the field or on the court. And of course, you want to do things that they're doing out there. But once you get there, whether you start

learning it really in college and then the NFL, you see guys that are getting an edge or preparing away and you're like, Hey, I really like what he's doing there. I'm going to start doing that. Or, you know, I, this guy gets the most out of the meeting room because he's taking notes or, you know, how does he do that? And you're drawn from all these guys. So I think you're right. A hundred percent. Like that's really what ends up making the biggest difference is how you prepare for game day. Game day is a manifestation of all the preparation that went into it as well as all the God given talent. And I'm telling you keep having those conversations with the guys that are out of the league that

you know me in our later in their career because I'm still learning from guys. I'm taking shit that my brothers told me I'm taking stuff from. I've been telling you for I told you last year get out of them cleats and you didn't do it one time. You told me literally to wear the special gear. No, but he I still take notes from a guy like Tony Gonzalez or a guy like, like, Shannon Sharp, I'll hear what these guys, you know, say they did towards the end of their careers that helped them

get the best out of their body week in week out. And it's like, it's just a non stop like like cycle of like trying to better yourself. And I can see it right now, the way Al Horford plays the game, his alertness, his attention to detail, he's always in the right spot, always ready for the moment. Like I could see that definitely being somebody you could look up to man, or at least take notes from like that. Your profile picture is actually you with Kobe Bryant. And we were talking about how he was the guy that kind of got you into, you know, loving the game of

basketball a little bit or at least, you know, you idolized and we all idolized at some point in our lives. Is it weird playing against the or playing for the Celtics against that guy who is literally at the top of the Lakers. Uh, did you, did you always kind of envision yourself maybe playing in a Laker uniform or. Yeah, we don't gotta answer it. We don't go. They had the second pick. So there was a part of me that just like, man, my, my dream of being

in NBA is about to come true. And then like my real dream of playing for the team that, you know, I grew up a fan of, you know, I was, it was so close, but it made me appreciate it a lot more. Just like, I remember, I remember the first day I walked in the Staples Center, like the first time we played the Lakers and I was in disbelief or just like, man, I watched so many of his games in this building.

And now like I'm on the same floor. In that moment, it bridged the gap with like me and my favorite player. of his games in this building and now I'm on the same floor. In that moment, it bridged the gap with me and my favorite player. I got to share the floor of the place that he helped build. That's pretty fucking epic. Man, that's what sports is about. You guys understand our responsibility is to motivate and inspire the next generation. Somebody inspired you guys, he inspired me,

and you guys have inspired millions of kids to be the next Jason or Trav. And it's cool about what we do is, somebody watching us that's gonna grow up like, man, they really helped me motivate me, even if we never met them before, right? They help motivate the next kid to chase their dream. And that's one of the coolest things about,

you know, what we do, in my opinion, for sure. Yeah, hell yeah. Unbelievably well said, 100%. I think everybody remembers when they were a kid looking up to somebody, when you see kids come up to you, that's one of the bright spots of being an athlete, right? You get to see that innocence and just like that genuine pleasure

of like interaction is just incredible. And Kobe even for he came and talked to us. We were a full on NFL team in 2017. He was from Philly. But the year we won the shoot, boy came and talked to the team. And even then, like still motivating. There were guys that took more away from that conversation than they had taken away from anybody in the football world and how he prepared, how he got ready, how he has process in getting better like it was it was phenomenal. So I'll never forget that. He was great.

Probably one of the best people we've ever had talk in to the team since I was in the Eagles. It was great. What was your impression of Boston fans initially, but or at least before you got to to Boston to be on like before I got to Boston, I didn't know much or really pay attention. I grew up a Laker fan, so I didn't really like the Celtics and I wasn't aware of, you know, the Boston sports culture. Uh huh. For sure.

Yeah. Patriots beat the Rams. So just growing up from St. Louis, the Red Sox beat the Cardinals. St. Louis, you just don't really like Boston. Yeah, yeah, okay. Whether it's a TNT game, it's a preseason game, or a league pass game on Mondays, we always sell out. Majority of the time when we go on the road,

every game is road trip. It's been three straight games. We hear Let's Go Celtics Chants throughout the arena. Um like our fans just travel so well. They show up early and often. It was a relief and it was a special moment to win a championship in front of them and then you know you guys have been on a parade. It was the best two hours of my life and having 2 million people in green and white outside, cheering you on and expressing their joy

for what we accomplished, it was special for sure. Of course. What's it like playing for Joe? You enjoy that? Joe is crazy. He seems like quite the character. We actually talked about you, we played Portland the other day,

and I got a tech with like, the game was basically over, I ended up getting a tech with like 30 seconds left. Yeah. I'm always here for a good fourth quarter tech. Yep. Right, so Joe, he comes up to me after the game, he like, so if you get like 16 or 17 texts, you get

suspended for a game. So Joe, like, like, yo, can you just get four more so you can get suspended? I'm like, Joe, I think I'm done. He like, I would I would much rather you just come punch me. I want to fight. He's like, you see, when Travis Kelsey running Andy Reed, do that to me. I love it. Oh, my goodness. Keep it in house, baby. Keep it. Yeah, that's right.

Shout out to Coach Reed for being the man for not getting too riled up. But no, that's too funny, man. You could tell Joe does it the right way, man. He he seems like he has you guys enjoying what you're doing. And and that's always I think the hardest part is as a coach in any of these professional leagues is making it serious, intentional, but at the same time, so so loose that everybody feels comfortable being themselves and making it, you know, a fun thing or an enjoyable process. You know what I mean? He seems like he's got that all figured out, man. I don't think coaches get enough credit for that because this, I mean, you guys got 60 people on the team.

I have no idea how you guys do that. You know, there's only 15 or so of us, but Joe does an unbelievable job of just managing all the personalities and the ups and downs throughout the season and getting us to buy in. That's really important. It's a mark of a great coach. I'll tell you what, man, you just mentioned there's like 60 guys on our team and you guys got just 12.

Do you know everybody on your team? Yeah, of course. I mean, obviously there are like the handful of guys like on the practice squads and everything that come in and out per week. Like we'll have like a transition and like a switch in and out every single week of like just developing guys. But for the most part, I know everybody.

If I don't know you, I'll go up to you and say, what's up? Like you want to be able to at least, you know what I mean? Keep it and make everybody feel like they're a part of it. You know what I mean? What's the, he's on the D line, Turchan? Yeah, he's a St. Louis guy. I played football with him. No way!

Turk just got a big contract. I think Carolina, I think he went to Carolina. He just got a huge contract. We played on the same football team. We grew up in the same neighborhood for like five years. I just, it just made me think about that. He's a tough son of a gun too, man. That's one dude I am not fucking around with.

And he's been like that too. He's a hell of a competitor, man. I've seen him actually hoop. He's a, at least he tries. I'm not gonna say he's a bad hooper or a great hooper. He's like, he's just, he's gonna compete his ass off though. We're playing good defense. Basically is what you're lying. If he's guarding me, I'm uncomfortable. If he's guarding

me, I'm uncomfortable. He is the epitome of an NFL guy playing defensive basketball. We gotta get on that. Do you think that do you think NFL player could play in the NBA? Oh my god. So you know, we had to ask. got to ask all of every come on I would I would venture to say No from both standpoints like I the guys that get on tv and be like you could just take this guy from the NBA and throw him in the game this sunday It's like no, it does not Work like that. I mean it might

No one day it's like, no, it does not work like that. I mean, it might. No, it does not. You mean to tell me Russell Westbrook can't go out there and give you some points? Give me give me at least play special teams. Not on a week's notice. And I love Russ. I hear you on that. I hear you on this. Do you actually are you're making a great point?

I hear what you're saying. I think there are a handful of guys that played in the NBA that if they had an entire like summer or a year to train and prepare, could they make an impact for sure? But like just drop a guy from the NBA and throw him in the game. No shot. Are there any NFL guys that could train for a year and go play in the NBA? So listen, I have so much respect. Don't crush my dreams. Don't crush my dreams.

I'm still 35 and I still got hoop dreams, man. I got so much respect for you guys and what you guys do. It's so true. It's just a different. It's so true. We all know this. It's nothing funnier than watching football guys play basketball.

Oh, man. And how funny is it when people like impressed with something that an NFL guy does on Twitter and as a basketball player, he's going to be like, come on guys, like this is really what we're like. Oh wow. He can play in the NBA. He just dunked. Yeah, that's for sure.

That's all it takes. That's hilarious. That's it. That is typically the deal. Yeah. It's like, damn. He just did a windmill. He can play in the NBA. What are you talking about? There's always a video that comes up

on Twitter of somebody in the NFL, their high school highlights and stuff. And it's like, he could have been there. It's like, nah, I think they chose the right one. No, I think it worked out alright. You were mentioning Terrell Pryor growing up. I'm telling you right now, I think Terrell Pryor's best sport was basketball in high school. I played against him on the court and I always looked at him and other guys that were like in my grade, like all the camps that I went to and stuff.

And I'm like, man, this dude, he just, he's a different type of athlete, man. And he definitely had, he had offers to go D1 in both sports and just decided he wanted to be a quarterback. But. It's an interesting name you brought up. Cause Terrell was definitely athletically, he was, he was ridiculous. Man, when I tell you with the ball in his hands too,

he was fucking special. So I think at that point, like in high school, if you to different conversation, depends on where you like direction, you decide like, all right, instead of football, I'm gonna go give my all to basketball, then yes, then I definitely believe in that. But just like, oh, you've been focusing on football for the last 12 years. And now, no, I vice versa. I don't. I just don't think it worked like that. I hear you on that.

Well, glad we got that out the way. That was actually a pretty good, I mean, you're right. I feel everything you're saying. Kind of got sidetracked there. Well, I got one. Yeah, sure. Come on, hit us.

What do you got? So this is my first year playing fantasy football. Oh gosh. Oh, okay. All right, all right. So I was in two leagues and- Who was your tight end? Mark Andrews. Oh! Mark. All right, all right. So I was in two leagues and. Who was your tight end? Mark Andrews.

Oh! Mark was a good one though. Mark, he finished strong. He probably helped you out in the playoffs for short. He finished strong with a bunch of touchdowns. I had two leagues. So in one league I had Pat. I didn't understand all about fancy football.

I'm just like, oh shit. Took a quarterback first? That's it, there you go, yeah. Gotta'm just like, oh shit. You took a quarterback first? That's it, there you go, yeah. Gotta go running back, gotta go running back. Yeah, I go running back with why I was eating it. Shoulda gone Saquon, shoulda gone Saquon. I'm like, oh shit. Let me go get the best player in the league,

let me go get Pat, and nothing but respect for you and Pat, but it's like, you know what I'm saying? It didn't work out, it didn't work out. Yeah, it was a different year for us, yeah. It was a different year for us. I went every day 18 to 12, and it's like, ah, you're not playing it for me. Nah, man.

You gotta get the running quarterbacks or the, like you gotta get, you know, Jalen's a great one, because he's gonna get you like 15 tush pushes into the end zone. Lamar, Josh. Lamar's a great one. Lamar, Josh. Lamar's a great one. Lamar, I had Lamar in my other league. Lamar is unbelievable, obviously in the real game, but in fantasy football too.

Yeah, he's perfect for fantasy. I mean, he's perfect. He's pretty perfect for regular football as well, but fantasy. He's got it all covered. One of the most insane things, we were in a joint practice with the Ravens, and I'm not going to say nobody's name, but he did a juke move in a tag off. Like you're not even supposed to tackle, right? You know how hard it is to juke somebody who's just trying to tag. It's just supposed to like tag. You're playing tag. Essentially, this dude just has to like get within a seven foot wingspan and touching

this guy completely falls over. I mean, one of the, it was insane. The movie put on the like to the point that both teams Eagles and Ravens just erupted in the middle of this practice. It was so it was right down there. I was like, Oh, this guy's way different. This guy's way different. So he had one MVP or do you think they got it right? God damn. They both had great cases for MVP. The only reason I tend to think they got it right

with Josh is because I think Josh, a lot of the times the MVP comes down to expectations. And I think the Ravens expectations were high from the get go. And I think Josh losing some of the guys that they lost, they didn't really have a lot of other star power. I think they overachieved and he had a season that was unexpected, which is why he got it. I think they overachieved and he had a season that was unexpected, which is why he got it. I think that narrative a lot of the times ends up being the one that wins. But both of them had merits of winning. And that's the reality is like most years, multiple people up for it. So they both could have got it.

But I do think that right there was the reason why I think Josh did end up getting it. But if they would have given it to Lamar, I wouldn't have been like, hey, he deserved it, too. Yeah, there's no wrong answer. I believe. Let's get to some no dumb questions. All right. Now, hey, we always ask our fan base, the 92 percenters to send us their questions. And there's no dumb questions, just two dummies answering it and then the anomaly. So would you still want to be six foot eight? If you were bad at sports?

Ooh. It's a great question. It's a lot of inconveniences that come at that height. How like how bad? Like like like you're not even getting picked at the rec. Yeah. Last pick in dodgeball. Yeah, I, I love being six, eight. I ain't no lie.

Fair enough. I respect it. The not being able to find shoes that fit is, is, is an inconvenience I can deal with for being six, eight. I love it. For sure. If you had to play an entire game wearing flip flops, how many points are you realistically dropping? You still find a way to get some space? Flip flops?

And you at least catching you can sit in the corner and catch, you know. Well, I just threw my ankle last night wearing. Yeah, that's a great question. Let's pass that one. Who's on who's on your Mount Rushmore of basketball players? Oh, Mike, Brian, Kobe. This is where it gets tricky. Right? I would say Kareem.

Kareem? You're going Kareem. The hook shot. Kareem, okay. I respect it. I respect it. Listen, man, do you think his hook shot would still be as unstoppable in today's game?

I mean, like the short answer would be no, but would he adapt and still be effective unstoppable in today's game? I mean, like the short answer would be no, but would he adapt and still be effective? Yes. The game is not played like that today, but he was so talented and skilled that he would have found other ways to score the basketball for short. That thing was unstoppable.

I love watching highlights of that thing. Just, woo! That was the last fist fight Travis and I got got into he just kept doing this dumb ass hook shot in the backyard. I couldn't stop it. I got a full ass fight. I was dog JT. I was I was nice in the paint.

I was only 6'5", but I was nice in the paint. I believe it. I was utilizing all five of my files early. All right. What's why is it called a field goal in basketball? Yeah, that's actually very interesting. Makes zero sense, right? I feel like back in the day, they might have called the basket a goal. That part makes sense. The field part is never really thought about that.

It's on a court and it's not a goal, but it's still called a field goal. This is why I think it's called a field goal. This is why I think it's called a field goal. Here we go. I think they used to only have scoreboards made with the FG sit like field goals. So they just started calling them field goals because that's what the scoreboard had and they had to call it a field goal. No, don't make any sense. I'm not I'm not buying into any of this. I'm surprised nobody asked growing up in St. Louis,

was I a Kansas City fan? I was about to say, man, hold on, hold on. You already mentioned the Rams once. You already mentioned the Rams once. I'm trying to think of what eras those would have been for you. Like the Steven Jackson era, like yeah, who was your team? I am Bradford, Steven Jackson. Yeah. Uh huh.

So they won a Super Bowl 2001. They lost in 02 or 03. And then after that, they didn't make the playoffs. It's a little bit of a drought. Like 15 years, at least they didn't make the playoffs the rest of the time they were in St. Louis. So I was a Peyton Manny fan. That was my favorite player.

Oh, you went north. You went north sheriff right down the street. But ironically, like when the Rams left, the older people in St. Louis just became Chiefs fans. They did, 100%. We gathered everybody in Missouri. They pretty much. When they left, I wasn't like, all right,

I'm a Chiefs fan now, because I don't know, St. Louis and Kansas City just kind of always had this cardinalist. A little bit of a rivalry. Royals. Oh yeah. had this like cardinal rivalry. Royals. Oh, yeah. It was like a little rivalry. Cincinnati and Cleveland had a very similar thing, especially with the two being sports rivals in the AFC East or the AFC North, I mean. No, we definitely completely agree with that.

We ended up going to Cincinnati, so we ended up getting kind of love from both cities and having that love for both cities. But so when when they moved to L.A., did you go to L.A. with them? No. So you just and this is why you play fantasy football. You're just a fan of the league. I don't have a team. I appreciate players. I appreciate, like, not to bring it up, but like when you guys played the Eagles this past,

you know, Super Bowls, like, you know, Eagles great team, great story, but me just winning the championship and like, damn, we trying to win our second one. You guys trying to make history and win your third. Like I appreciate it, you know, potentially watching, you know, history being made. So I appreciate you jumping on and I'm sorry

that you had to endure that. Nah, man, I respect it for sure. How do you guys feel like it's been trying to defend that championship? Like how tough has it been throughout the year? And I mean, you guys are getting everybody's fucking best shot right now. And I'm sure it's a lot different playing 16 games

than it is playing 82 regular season games, trying to like navigate week in, week out, different lineups, different, you know, you guys are gonna have to probably play a few games without you in it. Like how difficult has it been? Joe talks about all the time is, he said, expected to be tougher than you think, right? None of us have been in this position.

Besides Drew, Drew won a championship with Milwaukee, but the rest of us like we don't, we don't know what it's like, you know, coming back after you just won a title, you know, you think it can go one way and there's good stretches and then there was a stretch where, there was a 12 game stretch where we won one, lost one, won one, lost one, and we playing against teams and they have a guy that was a 30% three-point shooter

and that night he had 11 threes and it's like. Yeah, everybody's getting hyped to play you guys. Everybody's excited to play you. You're getting everybody's best shot, and then dealing with injuries and certain guys being out, it was tough and we had to come together and get closer. But I would say we're 22 and 4 in our last 26 games, right? So we've definitely hidden our stride at the right time.

And with 10 or so games left and getting ready for the playoffs, this is when you wanna feel your healthiest, wanna feel your best, wanna be the most confident, understanding that what's ahead and how tough it was last year, expected to be

tougher this year. Yeah, because what we're trying to do. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Well, nice, man. I think that does it for our no dumb questions. Get into our last segment, man. Get you out of here. We appreciate you having fun with it. JT, man. Yep, absolutely. This is our last segment. We we close out all the combos with a segment called We Gotta Ask but you don't have to answer. You

can tell us to **** off and kick rocks or you can have fun answering some of these silly questions, man. Um what was your welcome to the NBA moment? Oh, um my first two games. So, man, we we get Kyrie. Our first game of the

season was back in Cleveland. So, Kyrie's first game back, we playing LeBron, it's on TNT. I'm still 19 years old and this atmosphere is unlike anything I've ever been a part of. I can't even fathom this for you right now. Oh my God. I'm playing it cool, going through my routine. I go- Just play it cool, man. Just play it cool. I remember I go off for individual warmups and I just look down the court and it's Dwayne Wade warming up. And it was just like, wow, I'm really here. Oh yeah.

Then I put my uniform on, we go off for layup lines and I'm cool. I'm laying the ball up. Cleveland hasn't ran out yet. After like two minutes, they run out hasn't ran out yet. After like two minutes they run out and Brown runs out last. And I was like, oh shit. Like, this is,

this is real. First shot, first shot of Timber I got, he blocked this shit to like the fifth row. And I was like, yeah, this is, this is what it's about. All right. Man, that's a great fucking story. Officially here. Made it.

I don't know if you saw it. Did you see George and Yang talking a little bit of trash the other night with Quentin Grimes? Did you see that? Yo, I love, I love George and Yang. Me and you both. Me and you both. That's my dog.

Yeah. All right. And shot the three at home. Yeah. Yeah. Is the psych out still like, did you ever watch baseball growing up? I did. I haven't seen in a long while. So what about the psych out? What's the what's the art to trying to psych somebody out who's about to shoot a ball? Like what's the what's the

best strategy? Like whether you're playing horse with them, like what what's the best thing somebody said to you or something that you found that you can say to somebody else right away to get them off their game? So like say something to them or just all the antics that big guys do. I would say either or whichever one you want to go with. Are you an antics guy or are you a verbal?

There's different. Yeah, there's different. I don't really talk much when I play. Like I really, like we have to have a relationship like Bam at a bio. Like I've known Bam since eighth grade, Donovan Mitchell. Like guys in my draft class, like if I know you, like, you know, we'll have friendly trash talk or whatever,

but like I'm not just like, I don't, if I score on you, like I'm not going to say it. I'm just going to run back on defense. But always having the other team's best defender guard you, um, throughout the years, seeing the different things that guys like, you know, w w w do to try and get you off your game. Um, as it's, it's funny. I remember, I remember one time playing against Patrick Beverly when he was

with the Lakers. Oh man, this is the king at this. Go ahead. I love Pat Bev. I love how he competes, talk trash with the best of them. But I don't, I don't say much. So I remember it was one game we spent at the Lakers and they was waiting to take the ball out of bounds. He like, start like tickling me. All right.

Like smack his hand. He was like, you got stronger, you got stronger. But just like as a defender, any little thing that they can try to do, pull your sock down, untuck your jersey at the free throw line. I wear an armband, people pull my armband down to my hand all the time.

Oh man. These are, these are all great moves, yeah. Back to back of your neck, just like all type of things that, you know, is part of it. And I'm pretty sure there's things like that in football. No, I love it, I love all that little stuff. Anything you can do. Get real cheeky.

Your childhood friends with a bute, as they call him in hockey, Matthew Kachuck. That's right. He's a beauty man. Him and his brother were recent guests of the show as they represented USA in the in the four nations tournament. That was fun seeing them throw their hands and fight for the USA in that regard. You guys recreated this old photo of you both after because you guys grew up around each

other in the St. Louis area, we went to school together from seventh grade to 10th grade. So yeah, two years of middle school, two years in high school and then after our sophomore year, I think the rules are different for hockey. He he ended up leaving and going off professional or whatever. Yeah, we met. We had classes together that that picture that we took. I think we was going on a field trip at like Chicago or something.

Nice. Yeah, we had projects together. So it's just cool to see both of us. We won a championship in the same year. Wow. That's fucking awesome, man. Great dude, man. Unbelievable person.

A hockey player. His brother's amazing too and comes from a great family as well. So couldn't be happier for him and his family. Hell yeah, man. Did you ever get on the ice? No, no, no. No?

Never got on the ice? We would play hockey in gym class, but like in the gym, Yeah. I would try to be goalie cause I was like the tallest kid, but that shit ain't good. It's a good reach. Goalie? Fuck man. I would try to be goalie because I was like the tallest kid, but actually, like, goalie.

Yeah, and Jason used to force me to be the fucking goalie. Like, no, I'm taking shots on you. And he was just ripping from like 10 feet away. I'm like, come on, man. This is fucked up. We got two champions in their respective sports, but there's a third guy hanging out in the back of these this picture. I don't know if it's the same kid or is the third,

is he the third, that's the homie? I was about to say, has he won any championships or? I don't think so. He's another kid in our class named Jacob. He wasn't a sports guy, but he was cool. And the Cardinals ended up flying him in. I think he lived in like San Diego or something. They ended up flying him in so we could recreate the picture.

That's so funny, man. Shout out to Jacob. Here we go, Jacob. Your seven-year-old son, Deuce, is always courtside. Are you going to be able to play in the NBA long enough to maybe play with your son, get the Celtics to draft him. A lot of things gotta go right for that. Sounds cliche to say like, I never like forced Tim to play basketball.

Obviously he's always been around it. And even like at home, like I would just want him to naturally, if he wanted to play basketball, then we can. So I was saying the last, man, like the last like six to 10 months, he's really like fell in love with the game and been more attentive at the games.

He asked questions. He plays basketball now every Saturday. And I can honestly say like, I haven't ever had more fun in a gym than going to his Pee Wee game Saturday morning. It's like, it's the most fun I't ever had more fun in a gym than going to his Pee Wee game Saturday morning. It's the most fun I've ever had in a basketball gym. That's awesome, man. You can see him go crazy.

Is he chucking it? He shoots every time. That's what I'm talking about. Keep chucking it, Deuce. You're like, huh? I'm bad. No, you never. Why would I do that?

It's way more fun to shoot this thing. I'm watching you doing it, yeah, exactly. Did you ever get a follow back from LeBron? Did he ever follow you back? Still waiting? We got the old tweet from back in April of 2012, man. King James followed back his Larry Hughes nephew from St. Louis. Shout out to Larry Hughes, man.

Cavalier for a while. I definitely was rocking with him for a while, but that's pretty cool, man. I had one to have an uncle or someone like Larry in the league already. And, um, yeah, did you ever get the follow back? Yeah. Brian ended up following me back. It was funny because they brought this tweet up when we played him in the conference finals

my rookie year. Oh, shit. So he finally leaned in once you guys were in the Eastern Conference finals together? Yeah, he followed me back on Instagram after that. But many battles against each other and been on an Olympic team. And Bron is a great friend of mine

and somebody that I got a really good relationship with. But I made that tweet that was like when I first got Twitter. And oh, listen, you already know somebody like me. Do you bring out my 2012 tweets? We're going to have a fucking field day. I can't even spell shit. I would have spent cousin with no. Oh, there's no, there's no, there was no there was no autocorrect

back then. Nice man. Glad you got the follow from Brian in that man you're you're chasing your second ring big dog and appreciate you coming on here and and chopping it up with us in the 92% is man everybody Jason Tato. Appreciate you dog. Thanks for thanks for all the time to man much love get. Get that ankle right. And yeah, I might might have to catch you court side at Eastern Conference finals game man. Catch you against Cleveland again, man. Yeah, it was just the end. It was like, that was last year.

That was the regular season. Yeah, yeah. Wishing you nothing but the best, man. Go and get you another one, big dog. Appreciate you guys. A1, man. You know it. All right, now, well, that does it for our interview with Jason Tatum, man. I just, I love talking to champions, man. The guy, you could tell why he is a champion.

You know, the guy just has such a professionalism about him. It's a good time talking to highly successful people that have dedicated themselves to being the best in the world at something. Take a quick look at the leaderboard of the new heights March madness challenge. We have zero perfect brackets left after the first weekend in both our men's and women's brackets. Current new heights men's bracket rankings. Brandon. Did you guys put this in there just because you want us to say that you guys are ranked above me and Travis right now?

Yeah, is Jason Jason ranking is higher than mine. Yeah, how is that possible in terms of points? Yes, Jason's Jason's got your beat right now. How is that? I have two final four teams out. How is that possible? Sure. It just your total score that you could end up with is much

much lower than Travis's but currently right now you're in the lead. You got more in the first two rounds, correct? That he did. You just are dead in the water for the eight and the fours, basically. So I got to really hope. Trav, who's your, you have, you have, who's your final four? Duke? St. John's who's out of it? Michigan State? No. Auburn? Auburn in Florida. So I got to hope Auburn in Florida takes some L's. Otherwise I'm screwed. I'm not sure if that's how it works. But Jake and Brandon do and Brandon and Jake are both at the winning. They're in both brackets because they they

cheat and they just give themselves extra points. I'm sure. But what we do know is that Travis is in last place. Gosh, I just don't understand. Because he just doesn't know basketball. That's what I keep trying to tell him. I thought I did. You think it's about points and stuff, and dude, it comes down toughness. Yeah, I also took Akron over Arizona.

I'm a dumbass. So did I. Go Mac. I don't know why I put Akron so high. It was the dumbest thing in the world. I just saw an Ohio team in there. I'm like, yeah, they're fucking doing it. Let's go Akron. They're tough.

Rubber Bowl, you shit in me. I did the same thing. I fell right into that trap. We're idiots. You did call it with those silver spoon. Stop it. Sorry, Yale. Sorry, Yale. That's not that was uncalled for. Dude, I did input all of my women. So the way I did my women's bracket, I did Yukon and South

Carolina. I forgot about Dawn Staley, South Carolina, that's where I had went in it. Shout out to Dawn Staley, Philadelphia's own. But everybody else I just did based on I but everybody else I just did based on roster average roster height of the top five. It took me legit a full day to calculate the roster heights of every single women's team in the March Madness. Okay. All right. So this is proof this is he's citing his sources that he did it. Not only has not panned out, I am in third place. I'm glad you had it all documented to show us how

bad you are. I tried search so long to try and find this information and I just gave up. I was like, you know what? I'm just gonna do it myself. There you go. That was a good waste of time. Hopefully everybody's having some fun watching these games. I know I am. Jason, what's your favorite part of March Madness so far? My favorite part of March Madness is,

as much as it hurt, watching St. John's lose, because I had them going all the way to the championship. Well, I didn't. I had them losing to Michigan State, but I had them going all the way to the Final Four. I was happy for Calipari. I think, I mean, listen, it losing to Michigan State, but I had them going all the way to Final Four. I was happy for Calipari.

I think I mean, listen, it's a it's a matchup against two coaches that back when I used to watch college basketball a lot were two of the premier coaches in college basketball still premier and obviously still are. So I think having that connection and watching those two guys go at it as well as those two teams and it was a great game. Yeah, that was probably the highlight. What do you got? Um, my highlight,

calling Drake, calling the Drake. I mean, yeah, that was though. Unfortunately, they lost to Texas Tech. Did you have a beat? I did. I had him beating tech. And Pat made sure to let me know that I was an idiot for doing that. But they're obviously a fun team to watch. I have nothing but love for the tech group. And man, my favorite one so far, I don't know what it was, but I just love a buzzer beater, man. That Maryland game the other day and seeing, you know, Maryland, what I didn't realize is coming into it, they only have four losses and they were all at the buzzer. It was crazy how like they finally and their next

close game and at March Madness they they went on a buzzer beater. That team right now is they they're bigs are physical. You know, they control the game or they they control the tempo of the game because they they play inside out and I just right now I love I love that team man They kind of just like grab me and they're like the Terps are they're fun to watch man I think everybody's kind of on that bandwagon right now And that's why I really screwed up when trying to figure out this bracket I should have leaned into one of my best resources Yeah, don't even look at my bracket Scott van Pelt really could have just let me know all this stuff the McNeese game

I called and was telling everybody I'm a fucking genius that you even hit me and asked me how the fuck I knew that one. Yeah, no, I don't know much, but if you pick enough upsets, if you pick enough upsets. This is how you play roulette. You just play enough numbers and then all of a sudden it hits and you're like, yeah, see, I told you it was going to be red seven. You also said it was going to be, you know, all those other numbers. Look where I had most of my chips. It's brilliant. The neighbors just play the name is a funny way to pick out

brackets is to just pick all the underdogs. Totally called it fucking every one of them. I could just be like knew it. Drake knew it. McNeese knew it. What about Grand Canyon, Travis? I thought I knew it. They got fucking smoked by 40. Hopefully, you know, Duke finds a way to make it all the way and take the cake so I look at least somewhat intelligent. It's looking like they're going to, but I say we wrap this thing up, man. Shout out to Jason Tatum. Appreciate you, brother. Yeah, baby. That wraps up another episode of New Heights.
