Starting point is 00:01:53 That's right. What? We've been heavy on the guests this off season, but there is finally draft news to disclose the big yeti's big new contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah. The big yeti's big new contract with the Kansas City Chiefs Yeah more exciting stories and rumors from around the league and football world. Oh, we also have an article about buns Oh them. Uh, you talking about firing them glutes. That's right Exactly what I'm talking about trap, but first firing my glutes. Oh Making sure the things are fired up.
Starting point is 00:02:25 I got I got the money. Okay. I got to go earn. You know what I mean? Yeah. Okay. That's right. All right. Cool.
Starting point is 00:02:32 But first, as always, new news. New news. Hell. All right. Now, first bit of new news. We all saw it. It's all over X and whatever other social media you subscribe to. The Big Yeti has officially signed a new contract. It's all over X and whatever other social media you subscribe to. The Big Yeti
Starting point is 00:02:45 has officially signed a new contract. That's right, Kansas City Chiefs fans. You can sleep at night knowing that the Big Yeti is going to be a Kansas City Chief for the foreseeable future. Kansas City officially announced it on social media with this tweet saying, we signed the greatest tight end ever to a new contract. How about that? And per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Chiefs and all-pro Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelsey have agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension to make him the NFL's highest paid tight end sources say.
Starting point is 00:03:21 How about that? Congratulations, Trav. Thanks, dude. How about that? Hell yeah, man. This is huge. Sources say all right now congratulations trap Hell yeah, this is huge. This is uh, this is just following your footsteps again, you know You would I mean every single kind there last like two years. You were the highest-paid Center. Yeah Well, I mean, that's what they say. I don't know if it's true or not. It's two years 34.25 million extension through 2027 is this report accurate first of all because a lot of times these numbers come out and they're Inaccurate. Yeah, so the highest paid would have that's exactly it the AAV the highest T E A A V
Starting point is 00:03:56 17.125. Yeah, and I am so freaking thankful to Brett Veach Mark Donovan Coach Reed big red. I love you big guy, and obviously Clark Hunt, man. The Hunt family has been absolutely unbelievable to not only myself in this Kansas City community, but they've just been so generous since I've been here in making it feel like home and for the past 12 years, man, I've been able to make this place exactly that.
Starting point is 00:04:27 And I've loved every single second of it. And I'm going to love the next two years playing here in Kansas City. And we'll see what happens after that, man. But I'm so excited and I'm so thankful to this organization for getting it done and making me feel appreciated and compensated the right way. And on top of that, I got to move the needle
Starting point is 00:04:45 for the tight end room. It's everyone else's job to go out there and keep making that tight end AAV number go up and up with every single contract that's better than mine and in the future. And I can't thank Kansas City enough, my agents, for keep knocking on that door to see if anything's available knowing that I'm not a guy that sits out.
Starting point is 00:05:11 I'm not a guy that holds out. I'm a guy that loves coming into the building and the Chiefs know that. So for them to want to, first of all, want to be able to get this done for me knowing how much blood, sweat and tears I put into this thing for them. I'm extremely grateful and extremely thankful for everybody involved, man. I love Kansas City for it. All right now, Chief's Kingdom, baby. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Heyo. We got the nucleus together and paid, baby. Everybody got paid this offseason, man. I love it. All right, let's keep this thing moving. Jason is headed to TV land. That's right. How about that?
Starting point is 00:05:44 We all knew it was fucking coming. We just didn't know which direction you're going. More breaking news, 92% has just been announced Jason may be making moves to the broadcasting world. Yeah, nothing's been officially inked yet or announced yet, but obviously there's been a lot of reports out there about me going to ESPN and I think time will kind of take care of that, but it's a tremendous honor to even be considered to potentially work there. That network was everything that Travis and I
Starting point is 00:06:11 watched growing up. I mean, we talk about it all the time. We had Rich Eisen on last year on the show. Man. We talk about all these guys that we grew up watching and we lived watching ESPN. Fueled our love for sports. Sports center. Yeah I mean that's before phones that was the only way to get all the coverage and yeah you know we
Starting point is 00:06:30 were glued to the tv each and every day so the fact that I may potentially probably will be working there uh it's pretty darn cool man. That's awesome man. That's some cool stuff to see come full circle man because we used to live and die by ESPN On that TV growing up man. So to see you up there with the microphone in your hand Yeah, no, I'm talking head now fish. It's gonna be hilarious man. Well, not officially. Yeah, that's awesome, man I'm happy as hell for you. Yeah, I did my due diligence You know what I mean? You want to make sure that you're really looking at things talking to people that are knowledgeable
Starting point is 00:07:05 in the industry. You know, neither one of us have ever done something like this. And, you know, throughout the whole process, and meeting and talking to everybody over at ESPN, it became apparent that it was really the right fit. And at the end of the day, you know, it was something that I'm really, really looking forward to this next phase. I guess it's a little bit clearer now, which I'm certainly excited about. I know to some degree who I'm working with and think very, very highly of all of them.
Starting point is 00:07:39 I'm excited to learn. I think that's the biggest thing. I know a lot about football, but not a lot about this world. So that's just another avenue to continue to expand your knowledge, create relationships, because that's what this business is all about. That's what every business is all about. It's always about the people you interact with. I'm with you on that. So I'm really excited. I'm with you on that, brother. Congrats, man, and congrats to ESPN for getting a real one baby

Are you quite the head game individual? Not really. I'm a nice person. Too bad she didn't find the fucking real one. Don't be mad at anybody but yourself.
Starting point is 00:08:58 I'm mad at other people for throwing fucking socks willy nilly. You're a fucking... And then I'm mad that nobody had the common sense to check all the socks. It's not my fault, it's everyone else's fault. It is, you could have kept this. I basically put my ring in a safety deposit box and then went to the bank afterwards
Starting point is 00:09:19 and they're like, oh, we don't have it, I don't know what happened to the ring. The fuck is going on, guys? A safety deposit box full of chili. I entrusted it in the hands of Jets Jake. Jake, you were the last one I saw with it in your hand. Yeah, you gotta watch out for those Jets fans, man. Right?

Starting point is 00:11:18 him. But we're really, really happy for him. He puts a lot of time and effort into getting all these social clips you guys each and every week. And we also want to shout out some of the people that don't get a lot of shout outs on the show. Jets Jake is the guy that handles the socials. But there's a ton of post production team including Carly, Adrian, Jesse and Brady. The social clips that these guys put together are the things that are most consumed by our viewers. We certainly appreciate all of you that watch the full episodes. But we appreciate the entire wave team and the amount of work that goes into cutting up all these clips each and every week and annoying your guys timelines. Shout out to the whole crew. Well done. Well done,
Starting point is 00:12:00 ladies and gents. Well, and in other new news, but kind of old news, because this has already been announced, but I guess now it's official, Travis is officially a host of a game show. You didn't get a chance to talk about it last week. But yeah, Travis is hosting a new game show called Argue Smarter Than a Celebrity. Yes, sir. In the show, an adult contestant will rely
Starting point is 00:12:21 on a classroom full of celebrities from stage, screen, and sports to help them answer 11 questions on a range of subjects pulled from elementary curriculum in an effort to win a $100,000 prize. It's actually pretty good. It's nice how you just laid that out there like that. It's pretty good. Was that perfect?
Starting point is 00:12:37 Yeah. So 100,000 was the top prize for this game show? Yep. Did anybody win $100,000? Can you disclose that? I cannot disclose that, but it is, there were some fucking exciting, exciting contestants. Yes, it was a blast, man.
Starting point is 00:12:56 It was a blast shooting it. And to be honest, I always wanted to do something with a game show. We mean you, not only was it ESPN, but it was also a game show network. Nick Gas, Nickelodeon games show. So many, so many good game shows. And I always wanted to be a part of it,
Starting point is 00:13:15 whether I was a contestant, somebody helping out, or hosting one. What was your favorite game show? Price is Right, doesn't matter. It's untouchable. It's hard, it's hard to beat. I literally used to, whenever I would like, not wanna go to school, I would just tell mom that I'm sick
Starting point is 00:13:33 and then she would make me chicken noodle soup, give me some rich crackers and at 10 a.m. Just watch game shows. I would be able to watch the Price is Right and then Family Feud was right after that. Was it Family Feud? I thought there was another one with Wayne Brady that, I don't know if he was the one that was doing it though.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Oh, I forget what that one was. No, it was later on he ended up doing it. But there was another one backed up with Price is Right because I remember watching it. I think it was Family Feud. I'm pretty sure it's Family Feud is at 11 and Price is Right at 10. What about on the Game Show Network? Oh, Let's Make a Deal. Is the game show network. Let's make a deal. Is the Wayne Brady one.
Starting point is 00:14:06 The game show network though had older ones. Old ones that I can't even remember what a lot of them were even called. I just loved watching them. My favorite one by far, and I'm trying to remember the name of it. He had a really skinny microphone. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Match Game. Loved the Match Game. Match Game was awesome. Yeah. They had the six celebrity contestants up there and you had to try and match it. They've tried to reinvent it, but nothing has gotten to the charm of that original one.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Yeah. I also like Card Sharks. Card Sharks was a good one. Card Sharks was good. The grocery store. Super. What was it? Oh my gosh. Supermarket. Sweep. That was a supermarket sweep was electric.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Thank you, Brandon. So many good ones, man. You know which one I never got into was the one with the little creature. And you'd hit the button and go, dee doo dee doo dee doo dee doo dee doo. And then it would stop. And it would be like either you got like the I don't know it looked like the guy from uh that video game uh pressure luck yeah whammy oh the whammies yeah I remember the whammies yeah you can say you weren't into it but you definitely watched it oh I watched all of them I mean it was better than
Starting point is 00:15:20 whatever else was on tv at that time of the day. And that's not even naming all the kids shows that we watched on Nickelodeon. I mean the Nick Gash game shows are far better, let's be honest. I mean, Legend of the Hidden Temple. Nothing comes close to Legend of the Hidden Temple. I watch Legend of the Hidden Temple with my kids now. Still you throw them on? Oh yeah. My favorite thing to do, put Legend of the Hidden Temple on and then you place bets and you got to go right off the bat. All you get is just a flash glance at the guys. They're the team. Purple parrots, not that in it. Red Jaguars, not that.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Silver snakes. I got silver snakes. I'm going silver snakes. You're hilarious. Anyways, congratulations on hosting a game show, Trav. Oh, thank you, man. I think everyone's going to really enjoy this one. It's on Amazon Prime, so it's streamed. For those of you that don't know what Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity is off of Jason's explanation right there, it's basically Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader, but instead of actual fifth graders up there and them getting questions wrong and you kind of feeling bad because a kid's up there and you just got a question wrong on TV. It's a celebrity and now you can make fun of them because it's
Starting point is 00:16:23 funny to make fun of adults and not kids. I mean, I think it's really important we make fun of kids personally. I'm with that. Maybe not shamefully, maybe not making fun of them on TV where it lasts forever. It's very important. It's important. It's not that's not public humiliation. That's something that everybody should have to endure. Not that public though. Not that public listen
Starting point is 00:16:45 We are every single day publicly Humiliating ourselves in front of millions of viewers of this podcast. Nobody can humiliate me more than me You got to be able to laugh at yourself anyways everybody make sure you check out Are you smarter than a celebrity when it comes out? Whenever it comes out because I don't know when it's gonna come out How about this mama Kel's got on the today show yet again Mom is I mean she might as well host this fuck You kidding me our final bit of new news mom was on the today show to share some
Starting point is 00:17:14 Mother's Day gift ideas and she was also asked if the two of us are good at Mother's Day gifts Are we gift givers? Oh man. She needs to share me some. Don't ask Kylie. I am a bad gift planner and giver. At least she was honest and she didn't just fucking just keep us in like we're unhuman. You know, like everybody. You can't be good at sports and Jason you can't be good at reading and then good at gift giving. You gotta fucking be shitty at something.
Starting point is 00:17:44 I can't be good at dancing and be good at gift giving. You gotta fucking be, you gotta be shitty at something. I can't be good at dancing and be good at gift giving. I can only have one of those. Cause that's your gift. My gift is to dance and watch people. Is to show people what true expression looks like. We should just send mom gifts of us dancing for Mother's Day. Here's your, for a gift, you are gonna get a GIF.
Starting point is 00:18:06 When do you get a woman that has everything? You know, golly. It's hard. What do you get? She really likes black and white. Mom wears a lot of black and white sequenced clothing. She actually looks lovely right here in this picture. She always looks lovely.
Starting point is 00:18:22 She looks lovely up there. She's big with black and white. I'm starting to pick this up. I'm in on it too. I think if we got some black and white. She'll go a pop of color here and there. She will. She knows what she's doing.
Starting point is 00:18:34 She definitely wears a little bit of red. Oh yeah. She likes red. Pop it in there. I'm not gonna lie, Kylie was the first person who made me notice that mom likes black and white. It's good,. It's listen
Starting point is 00:18:45 It's it's slimming on TV. Yeah, it's just on camera She gets it never noticed it and then Kylie said it one time and every single time I see mom She's in black and white mom. You gotta switch it up now Jason caught on. She's like Cruella de Vil We gotta get her like a don't fucking call mom Cruella de Vil Mom's a saint. She's an angel. She's a saint. She's got similar fashion. Do you remember any gift you've given mom or Kylie for Mother's Day? No, and I owe Kylie an anniversary day gift. I'm not going to lie.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Okay. I'm almost a month post doing that. We were doing the Cincinnati Live show and it distracted me. Damn it. I got to come big with something. I got faith in you. You'll make it up. So they make it kind of easy with the anniversaries. I don't know if you know this but there's like themes
Starting point is 00:19:28 Of each anniversary what of like the number? Yeah, so like you what an anniversary five? I think it's like I can't remember things what who is they who did this? I mean, this sounds like a made-up holiday. I made up Valentine's Day. I don't say it sounds like a made-up holly It was I it's a traditional you's what I'm saying. It sounds like a made up holiday. It's a traditional gift. Did you read this in a magazine? Did you pop open a Cosmopolitan magazine and just start going down the- It's available on the internet.
Starting point is 00:19:53 A lot of people subscribe to it. There's like traditional gifts for years of your wedding anniversary. And it helps you narrow things down. There's no way everyone- This year the gift is iron. if you got to get her something iron Just get her a sword make her a sword Jason. I don't think she'd be into it It's the thought isn't it that's what they all say. Yeah, I mean I wonder Something is better than nothing
Starting point is 00:20:17 It's a good point right now. I got a sword is definitely better than what I've currently gotten her A sword is definitely better than what I've currently gotten her. It's a sword for Mother's Day. Am I supposed to stab you with this, Jason? It's in order. If she ever wants to break the covenant we've made with the Lord, she can use her sword. That's beautiful. That's poetry. It's very symbolic.
Starting point is 00:20:43 That's poetry. Yeah. Oh man. All right. Well, we got to be better. Mom, I'm sorry. We owe you an amazing Mother's Day gift. We love you. Now I got to get it to Kylie before this episode airs on Wednesday. So I kind of move fast on this sword. You'll figure it out. I'm proud. I got confidence in you. Oh yeah. Back to Mother's Day. I don't know. I haven't thought of anything for Mother's Day. I usually do hydrangeas, some type of flowers, chocolates, and a card. There you go. And then mom, I usually, I don't get her. She gets a text. A heartfelt Mother's Day text.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Well, try and sugar coat it. You don't fucking give anybody a heartfelt text. Mom, we're going to figure it out. This year you're getting it give anybody a heartfelt text. Mom, we're gonna figure it out. This year you're getting it because you called us out and now if you get too much stuff, it's your fault. Love you. Moving on to some fan mentions of the week. All right, now it's time to get to some fan mentions. For this week's fan mention,
Starting point is 00:21:38 Kylie got Jason one of the cooler retirement gifts we've ever seen. Speaking of gifts, a project that is so special to me and that I'm very excited to share. Thank you so much, Kylie Kelsey, for commissioning me to make Jason a retirement gift of Lincoln Financial Field. It was truly an honor.
Starting point is 00:21:56 And this is actually one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I know, it's dope. This is pretty damn cool. Just when we disclose that I'm a terrible gift giver, we find out what a wonderful gift giver that my wife is. Nice. What can't she do? Yeah, let me tell you folks, the detail that was put into this is spectacular. There's so much detail in the stadiums. So much detail. The field. They did a tremendous job. I will say I'm gonna have
Starting point is 00:22:22 to re-glue a few pieces and there was some problems in transit. They packed it as well as they could. It was amazingly how well it was packed. But it's still somehow, there's a couple loose pieces. Nothing can get past those workers at UPS though. That's right. I learned that one from, what is it? When Nature Calls.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Ace Ventura? Ace Ventura pet detective. I mean that's, I think what they would have had to have done with how much bubble wrap she put around the entire thing to secure it, something like that had to have happened for it to end up in the same pit once. Is Jim Carrey just kicking it down the hallway? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:59 I think that's the first Ace Ventura too. That's not when nature calls. I mean, listen, it's very fixable. It's not like one nature calls. I mean, listen, it's very fixable. It's not like it's major. We just got to reglue one of the stadium sides back to the thing. And then there's one piece that I don't really know where it goes to be honest with you. It's kind of hard to tell. But yeah, we'll figure it out. Kylie wrote on Instagram that she first reached out to this artist two years ago. I guess that's my I've been telling her I was going to retire for like five
Starting point is 00:23:24 years. So that makes that make sense. You've threatened retirement since probably your third year in the league. Yes. I've had a love-hate relationship with Offensive Line for my entire existence. For my entire existence. I love it but I hate it but then I love that I hate it. It's kind love that I hate it. It's kind of like a masochistic viewpoint of life. I don't even know what you just said. So yeah, we do have a spot that we were gonna hang it.
Starting point is 00:23:53 We're actually, there's a lot of stuff happening behind me. We're in the process of kind of doing a bunch of spring cleaning. We just cleaned out the entire basement. Oh, I'm so proud of you. We, I mean, we hired an organization company. Oh, it's the best. Yeah. It's the best. I mean, we had to. Oh man,'m so proud of you. We I mean, we hired an organization company. Oh, it's the best. Yeah, I mean, we had to all the all the ladies that helped me out here in Casey,
Starting point is 00:24:10 because we are just like, I get just it is so hard. But yeah, we're gonna get everything organized here. We got a spot that we want to put it. The one thing you don't realize that when when somebody posts your house online, that that everybody somebody posts your house online, that everybody now has your address and people just send stuff to your house. So I literally stopped getting mail to my house. I had to stop.
Starting point is 00:24:33 I had to literally tell the post office and everybody to stop bringing stuff to my house. But then there's some stuff that comes and it's pretty cool. Anything sent to my house, send right back to the sender. So anybody that's just sending random shit to my house You don't get stuff like this a bowl sack you don't get stuff like How did that not get how did that not go I was actually sent to the spring clean that was that was sent How is that not sent with it? Like I like unique things and I've never that's not you
Starting point is 00:25:04 It's unique to the very you know, it nuts that's it yeah it's even got like a little handle like I can carry it around like a little pouch just paint that black and white and get it for mom for a mother's day I don't think mom would appreciate it like I do but yeah Kylie's a tremendous gift-giver and Dana Theo designs is a tremendous artist so thank you for the stadium and yeah, we'll get some no dumb questions. No dumb questions. Hey, yo, all right, it's time to move on to our next segment. No dumb questions because there's no such thing as dumb people. No, there's definitely no. Yeah. Okay. There's no such thing as dumb questions, just dumb
Starting point is 00:25:42 people. That's it. That was it. Okay. We always screw it up. I screw it up a lot because I'm dumb. No Dumb Questions is brought to you by Smucker's Uncrustables, the greatest snack ever created. Ooh, Uncrustables back in this thing, all right now. God is good. Smucker's Uncrustables, the best part of the sandwich. Our first No Dumb Question from user Blazer808 on Club92.
Starting point is 00:26:05 As a Chiefs fan all the way from Hawaii. Hawaii. Hawaii. I've got a question for you both. If you could trade places with any non-NFL athlete for a day, who would it be? Ooh, that's a good one. That's a good question, Blazer. That's a pretty good question.
Starting point is 00:26:19 All the way from Hawaii, though. Thanks for jumping on board to the Chiefs Kingdom, baby. Any athlete non-NFL athlete. Yeah, that's what they're asking for. Would you go musician? Would you go business? Yeah, maybe. Individual?
Starting point is 00:26:35 I don't know. Author? Politician? I'd probably go somebody that nobody even knows is alive. That's a good point. Yeah, right. That way you could just be. Who would be the most interesting?
Starting point is 00:26:48 You know? The most interesting. Okay, would you trade places with a guy or a girl? Would you go girl? No, I would stay guy. I would stay guy. You've never wondered? Not once.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Not once, man. Fair enough, okay. Me neither, me neither. I've never wanted that either. I definitely do, man. So it's only a day. Because if I was gonna trade for an extended period of time, obviously you go young. Wasn't this a movie, Trading Places? Wasn't this a movie? Yeah, I think it's also like Freaky Friday.
Starting point is 00:27:16 It's been a ton of movies. It's big with Tom Hanks. This is not the first time somebody's thought of this. It's like a Disney movie where somebody wished upon a well or something like that. I mean, it happened, yeah. I's big with Tom Hanks. This is not the first time somebody's thought of this. It's like a Disney movie where somebody wished upon a well or something like that. I mean, this is a question as old as time. The question is, we get to actually choose it.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Usually it's like a surprise. We get to choose anybody. Oh, but it's still an athlete. If you could trade places with any non-NFL athlete for it. So it's an athlete. We can't just switch it I was just reading is like not an NFL athlete isn't anybody else other than NFL NFL So it's an athlete which we're sure saying that we have to pick another athlete. Yes. Okay, that helps narrow it down If I'm picking another athlete
Starting point is 00:28:01 I probably would pick a retired person because then you wouldn't have to work at all you just kind of get all the fame given to you or Wayne Gretzky it has to be some of the greats that we know man I mean great ski if you're current athletes I guess messy even though do you think he's not as exciting in yeah but now it's the best time now, he's just beating the crap out of people in the MLS and he's Already been the best football player ever to existed. I probably go golf. Would you go? Oh Usain Bolt? No, I don't want to you don't want to be the fastest man in the world sprinting
Starting point is 00:28:43 Really really fast. I mean unless I'm doing something to sprint, like for me to just say I'm faster than somebody, I've never really been that, so it doesn't really give me that excited. There's like few titles, and fastest person on the planet is one of them that I would take. I'd rather be good at a specific event.
Starting point is 00:29:00 What about world, like heavyweight champion of the world? Like a boxer? Yeah. I mean, yeah. Now we're talking. I'm not trying to get punched in the face for a living, no. Yeah, well if you're the best in the world you're better at it so you don't get hit as much. Yeah, you still get punched. Yeah, that's fair. What are some other bests in the world? I mean, it's just gotta go, I gotta go golf like I'm saying. Oh my gosh, great point. Gosh, what a good call. Sheffler maybe? Scotty Sheffler? Looks? He just kills it.
Starting point is 00:29:25 He has a great time doing it. I know, I love his swing too. Maybe like a John Rahm or? John Rahm. John Rahm. John Daly. He's lived, he's lived a life. He can do no wrong, he can do no wrong. Hey, he lived life in the fast lane
Starting point is 00:29:43 and if it's only a day and I'm getting one to like have an experience, I don't know that you're gonna have a better day than John Daly. Like you're gonna get to try some shit. There's a lot of firsts I'm gonna get if I live in John Daly's body. Can we cut this entire segment? I don't like this segment anymore. Not to keep perpetuating the narrative that Travis and I just like to drink beer at all times, but I think if we're thinking about having as much fun
Starting point is 00:30:12 in another person's body for a day, I don't know that anybody's gonna have as much fun as John Daly. I just can't, you can't tell me there's another person out there. He just swings a golf club, like he doesn't give a fuck, and he lives his life that way too. And it's just.
Starting point is 00:30:27 God damn it. It's pretty good. Shout out to Johnny D man. We'd love to be here for any day of the week brother. No doubt. And that does it for No Dumb Questions brought to you by Smucker's Uncrossable is the best part of the sandwich.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Nice. Alrighty, our next bit out of the house brought to you by our friends at accelerator active energy Let's go find accelerator active energy drink at quick trip.

Make sure you get those fundamentals right and get some going through some certain drills so we always take our family picture here. It was good seeing them and then on top of that it was good seeing some of the young guys. Justin Watson was out there running around
Starting point is 00:31:28 getting some good work in. And then on top of that, our newest draft pick was down there. He was undrafted at this point when I met him and was running around with him but we ended up picking him in the fourth round. Jared Wiley, TCU. He was down there and that is a big dude
Starting point is 00:31:46 He's out there galloping around. I know we'll we'll get to some of these draft picks But he was down there having some fun and looking good big old Clydesdale. Yeah, he is. He's a gallery He's a big dude too, man. Yeah was down there and then went out to Pat's Foundation out in La Vegas. Yeah, let's say you guys are down there working out Out in La Vegas. Yeah, I was about to say, you guys were down there working out, then you went straight to Vegas to attend the 15 and Mahomes Foundation Gala and Golf Outing. Back to the scene of the crime, baby.

It's always fun, you know, doing something exciting and getting everybody together for a great cause, man. And 15 of the Mahomes were pat and Brittany Mahomes do for the community in KC, in their hometown community down there in Texas.
Starting point is 00:32:34 It's just awesome to see how much money they could raise and how much support he gets everywhere he goes, man, because of how great of a guy he is. And it was awesome seeing a lot of the other familiar faces like Whitworth, Joe Hayden, Chan Parsons. I mean, it was a stud crew this year, man. Rob Riggle was up there having a blast, Eric Stone Street, you name it, man. We had a bunch of really cool cats.

Yeah it's always fun when you get somebody like Pat that can reach so many different lives and he's so relatable and he does things the right way and You know that money is is gonna really change some lives. So it was cool
Starting point is 00:33:22 Yeah, well, they got this clip of you chugging beer out of the trophy. Did you win the trophy? Is that why you were chugging? Come on now, baby Travis I'm actually good at golf. I don't lose in Vegas Jason. Are you good at golf? I don't lose in Vegas What is your handicap? My handicaps probably an eight That's seven or an eight. That's much better than I was expecting. That's pretty good It's getting lower and lower every offseason last year I was probably about a 10 10 to 12 this year. I'm right around 8 dude every time I think I got it figured out I go back to the
Starting point is 00:33:53 Course and just look like shit Well, you were chugging out of the trophy and I gotta say for a guy that is as good as chugging as you are This is embarrassing. Yeah, it was bad. It was bad I had also chugged out of the second and third place trophies right before I chugged with my team. So that was on a full stomach. And that was painful. Yeah, you can tell you were almost that was a dude. That air pockets just sitting right there. It was so bad. I didn't necessarily have an air pocket, but my shit was filled to the brim.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Yeah, you were trying to hold it down. I get it. Yeah, and not gonna say whether it stayed down or not, but it was definitely an absolute blast. Steve, Ricky, the whole gang, their wives were joining us along the course. It was just an absolute fun group, and sure enough, we came away with some hardware

Starting point is 00:40:54 All right. Well as promised we're gonna talk about some football now. How about that? Draft recap as you guys may know there's a little something called the NFL Draft in Detroit last week, and it broke a record. The draft broke the NFL's all-time attendance record with more than 700,000 fans. Get a job, Detroit. How the hell are all you guys people finding time to go to a draft? Well, Jason, because it's the start of a new year,
Starting point is 00:41:22 and that's what it really is. I think it's the start for every franchise fan base to get excited about not only their young talent, but just what their roster looks like moving forward. And that's exciting, and who doesn't love to see everyone's dreams come true? Because as we know it, whether you're a third round pick or a sixth round pick, you getting drafted
Starting point is 00:41:43 is a dream come true. That's the best. Yeah. So it was extremely, extremely awesome to see the outcome that Detroit had. I loved watching it on TV and seeing how many people showed up to that thing. I thought Detroit did it great. They started it off with Barry Sanders and Jared Goff and the gang. Can't forget Calvin Johnson.
Starting point is 00:42:06 And then Eminem, are you kidding me? Detroit did it right. I thought it was awesome. Listen, you're right. The draft is amazing. It's one of the coolest events that the NFL puts on every year. I just can't help but think that this is why we're losing
Starting point is 00:42:18 the auto wars to Japan because all of our workers are going to shit like this. But it's fine, it's all right, it's cool. What the fuck? You're sick. Detroit Auto Works, I'm gonna thank you for your time. Fucking Toyotas. Yeah before we break all the draft stuff down we just want to start with how we watch the draft. Trav did you watch the broadcast for to find out your picks or social media how'd you do it? I'll watch the first round That's it. I'm not I can't I can't sit there and just watch the entire weekend to draft I was doing both I had to draft on in the background But then was going in and out of you know, bluey and other things
Starting point is 00:42:57 But I'm then so I'm kind of watching social media then going back to the draft Definitely paid attention the first round and it did not disappoint. It was great coverage. It was awesome. Yeah. I think we got our first look at Nick Saban and Bill Belichick doing a little draft coverage this year. What'd you think? Did you watch any of the clips?
Starting point is 00:43:15 Yeah, it was, dude, it was surreal seeing those guys up there. I mean, I don't, it was pretty special. I don't know what it is about when the old ball coach joins the panel But it's like it's just like the most Intelligent interesting human being is up here about to fucking speak some goddamn knowledge, right? And I just get so engaged so it's just instant credibility I got so much respect for those guys and it's so cool that they're they're now behind the desk and we can get to You know learn and hear more from them
Starting point is 00:43:46 No doubt no doubt. Yeah, did not disappoint the coverage is great the picks were I mean it was an insane draft Went by very uniquely so let's start with that. I guess in the first round highlights The craziest thing was that the six quarterbacks all went in the first 12 picks. Dude, first time this happened since 1983. That's an offensive league now boys. It is six quarterbacks that were taken in 1983 or John Elway, Todd Blackledge, Jim Kelly, Tony Eason, Eason, uh, Ken O'Brien and Dan Marina, which I think most of those guys panned out, right? Definitely Dan definitely Dan Jim Kelly John Elway
Starting point is 00:44:26 I feel like Tony Easton had a decent career right? I can't hear just the names kind of rings a bell Yeah, I was born in 89 so I wouldn't know he played for seven years solid career So obviously this year we had six quarterbacks taken with the first pick, Caleb Williams goes to the Bears in the most predictable pick of the day. And the second pick, Jaden Daniels goes to the commanders in the second most predictable pick of the day. And the third pick, Drake May to the Patriots. Caleb Williams had a tremendous career over at USC, obviously Heisman Trophy, just tons of notoriety and talent going to Chicago Bears, which has not had the most success at the quarterback position. Obviously Justin Fields, everyone was excited about.
Starting point is 00:45:15 Mitchie Trubisky. Their last first round pick, Mitchie Trubisky. They have been in a drought at the quarterback position for some time now. I don't know about a drought. I thought both of those. But they've had a lot of guys that have been talented. Both Trebesky and Fields got a fucking, it was a tough deal, but I will say that.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Listen, it's not a shot on them. I'm just saying for whatever reason it hasn't panned out. Exactly. You know what I mean? And Fields and Trebesky both at times showed tremendous promise and had success. Exactly, that's what I'm saying. And they haven't been able to figure it out.
Starting point is 00:45:43 The team just moved on. The team moved on. They the team moved on they didn't they didn't love What they had but they also moved on in a lot of other areas as well. So it's been a complete remodel This year for the Bears and I think Caleb goes in there and makes them a better football team I really do man watching him Play in college over the past couple years both at Oklahoma and USC I thought he was an absolute stud. Similar to kind of how Patty Mahomes plays the game,
Starting point is 00:46:08 or at least played the game in college, where it was a lot of feel, a lot of just trust to throw in that thing downfield and letting his guys go make plays. He has that game changer mentality where at any moment, he can kill you with your arm and he can do some things with his legs and run the ball that a lot
Starting point is 00:46:25 of QBs can't that can throw it that well. So I think Caleb kills it. I think Jaden Daniels is a little bit more, I don't want to say NFL ready, but I think he, I've seen him make more on time throws than I have Caleb. Caleb, you kind of get that. Kind of more off the cuff like yeah like backyard ball type deal I think I think Jade actually showed pocket poise and slinging that thing around a little bit more From the pocket, so it'll be interesting to see how both of those guys shake out
Starting point is 00:46:56 But haven't seen a lot of Drake may not gonna lie didn't watch North Carolina play that well But yeah, he looks like he's got some gamer to him. I'm excited to see what that new Patriots team looks like without Belichick and Drake May is he's gonna go in there and hopefully get the starting job, man. Yeah, I mean, I'm excited to watch honestly, and I hate that it's in our conference, but the commanders, they've made a lot of offseason additions, right? They're under new ownership. And they've clearly been signing veteran players to try and,
Starting point is 00:47:25 you know, fix I think some of the I don't know, it just feels like the team has been off. And it doesn't feel like it's any one person or coaches fall, it just feels like they need a new fresh start. They brought in a lot of veteran talent, there's ton of playmakers, it feels like over there. And Jayden Daly, to get the jump aboard. I mean, I think they've had a really good off season. I'm not just saying that Drake made Patriots. Obviously we'll get to see what what Mayo looks like as a head coach. Obviously the biggest question of the draft was why would the Falcons pay Kirk Cousins $180 million over four years if they were just going to go and take a quarterback at the eighth pick overall?
Starting point is 00:48:06 Yeah. I mean, I think they probably didn't know that they were going to pick Michael Pennex when they signed Kirk Cousins to four years, $180 million. If they did, it's very peculiar. I think typically you're trying to improve your team to either assist Kirk Cousins with weapons, protection, or you're going defense. I don't know, man. I just, these teams, when they get an opportunity and they really love a guy, they reach for
Starting point is 00:48:30 people. And clearly the Falcons love Michael Pennex Jr. Otherwise this wouldn't happen. I mean, a guy can ball now. Yeah. He can play some football. So there's no, and both of them can. I'm not just talking about Kurt.
Starting point is 00:48:40 I'm talking about Michael too, obviously. He was up for the Heisman for a reason, man. He was slinging that thing around this year. Interesting move by the Falcons, but they clearly love Pan-X and they went with them. It's not the first time we've seen it. We've seen teams go quarterback when they have a proven commodity,
Starting point is 00:48:54 especially when the quarterbacks are older. Obviously the Aaron Rodgers situation with Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers situation when he was still in Green Bay. Patty Mahomes. Patty Mahomes with Alex Smith. Carson wasn't older, but Carson and Jalen Hurts. That was very controversial at the time. What makes it feel weird is the fact that they just signed the quarterback.
Starting point is 00:49:14 They just signed him. That's the weirdest thing. Usually this is something that happens when a guy's got maybe two years left on a contract. For Kirk to be four years, and obviously that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be there for four years. Typically you like drafting a young quarterback because he's gonna be pretty cheap comparatively when he's playing and you can build up
Starting point is 00:49:34 the rest of the team. Now you're drafting a guy, but you're still paying the quarterback premier money. It's just, I don't know. We'll see how it pans out. It's definitely weird, but maybe the Falcons have the last laugh. I don't know. We'll see how it pans out. It's definitely weird, but maybe the Falcons have the last laugh I don't know. All right now well apart from the QB's there was a lot of offense
Starting point is 00:49:50 That's right We told you is the offensive league now ladies and gentlemen the first round finished with 23 offensive players Selected out of 32 picks the most taken in a single draft in the common draft era Whatever that fucking means and previous record was 19 Seven wide receivers got taken in the first round tying the record for most taken in a single draft In the common draft area whenever the fuck that is it also happened in 2004. I think it's referring to like when the draft consisted of this many teams because it used to be like Eight teams and then like 16 rounds or some shit, you know
Starting point is 00:50:24 I mean like It used to be like a ridiculous setup, but now it's obviously way different. Lennon Hickman Is the league going heavy on offense here to stay or was this a fluke? No, this is what the world is going to look like. I think with all these rules being implemented, it goes up and down every single year. Obviously it hasn't been like this since 2004. I immediately take back my initial thought and I would say that if there's a fuck ton of good defensive players, they're gonna go first.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Yeah, it's always specific to the year and I think obviously a big part of this had to do with there being higher graded offensive players at a lot of these positions. Analytics and things are playing roles into a lot of these draft picks and people are heavily valuing the quarterback even more than potentially it was, if that's possible. As the analytics continue to rule a lot of these football decisions. And you know, let's face it, most of the coaches being hired now are offensive coaches. And when offensive coaches are hired, they're going to rate and want better offensive players.
Starting point is 00:51:35 The league has definitely shifted to being more offensive driven. And part of that is, you know, based on the rules, it's a more offensive game. It's more high powered. You know, we saw that revert a little bit this past year as defenses had a little bit more of an upper hand, especially early on in the season. But it feels like offense is continually being more heavily valued. But as with anything, I think Travis is right. It goes in cycles, it goes in waves.
Starting point is 00:52:03 Defensive has it have its shine once again. All right, Chiefs draft news. Before we get into the draft, in big signing news, Big Red is staying home. It was announced the Chiefs extended Coach Reed along with GM Brett Veach and President Mark Donovan. You, the big three. According to the NFL Networks, Tom Pelicero, Coach Reed's extension runs through 2029. I guess they can stop talking about him retiring anytime soon and makes him the highest paid
Starting point is 00:52:30 head coach in the NFL. Big Red. Reed, Veach and Donovan have overseen the team together since 2017. Yes sir. Yeah. Yeah. Coach Reed and MD have been together since 2013 when Coach Reed got here. Veach was also a part of it, but Veach became the GM in 2017.
Starting point is 00:52:49 And Veach was with Reed when he was in Philadelphia. Awesome to have them in this organization. KC, you guys just, I don't know if you guys know how freaking lucky you are to have these three at the helm and on top of Clark Hunt, but I'd mentioned it earlier on how appreciative I am of being in KC. These three guys, they make a lot of shit happen that make this organization as good as it is. So congrats to those guys on getting the deal done.
Starting point is 00:53:18 Happy as hell for them. Well done boys. Let's keep on chasing these titles boys. Chiefs end up trading up four spots in the first round and select a wide receiver from the University of Texas. Are we doing that now? Is it not now it's the University of Texas? Xavier Worthy at number 28. I'm pretty sure that only works for Ohio State but whatever. Brandon just stop. I will say this though Xavier Worthy is the fastest man to ever run the 40-yard dash of the combine
Starting point is 00:53:45 He is a 421 guy which is unheard of yes. He is it's looking like Pat has another extremely fast man to throw the ball deep to Or just get the ball to in his hands because a lot of his highlights you see catch the ball and he He's splitting defenders and making guys miss man. He's all an all-around football guy. He's not just track speed. Yeah, I was gonna ask you that. When you see a guy run like a 4-2-1, do you go and try and look at how he runs? Can you tell right away whether it is track speed,
Starting point is 00:54:16 like just top-end mechanics are pristine, or can you tell just by watching him run and like throughout the entire 40, he's going to be able to change direction while he's obviously looking at other drills or yeah, what do you think Trav? The only guy that I've ever seen run a 40 and was like, yeah, that guy is DK Metcalf. He ran that thing like a Clydesdale. He was fucking.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Dude, he fucking, dude, that's what I'm saying. He's the only one where I've ever seen a guy run a 40 and be like fucking that guy. That's the guy. They tell you not to fight the ground and he fought the ground and won. Like every step, it was impressive watching that. I was like, god damn,
Starting point is 00:54:57 this guy's applying some force into that turf. Obviously everybody saw how fucking quick lightning speed Xavier was. When you turn on the film, on the field, his speed translates. He's catching the ball, he's fearless going over the middle, he's a punt returner, isn't scared to hit that thing straight down the hashes. I mean you got to have a little bit of fearlessness if you're gonna be that fast playing football. No doubt. Getting hit at speeds like that is a little dangerous. You look exactly like you do in Madden.
Starting point is 00:55:26 It's exactly what Xavier Worthy told Andy Reid during his top 30 visit. That's funny as hell. These kids nowadays, well I tell you. These graphics nowadays is what I should have said. Man, these graphics are fucking... GM Brett Beach was asked about the pick. Having Xavier in Hollywood, I think as the season goes on here, we'll have just an offense that can attack in multiple different ways and always keep defenses guessing.
Starting point is 00:55:50 You want to be able to pressure the back end of a defense. I used to not think that was as important as it is obviously now. I used to think, you know, you just get into the right play and throwing the ball down field isn't that important. Then you play and you're not able to do that and you're like, oh no, it makes everything easier when the defense has to defend 40 yards over their head. Having fast guys for sure helps that aspect. Like you said, you get them into open space, you get them with the ball in their hand and
Starting point is 00:56:15 they just make things happen. So yeah, those are two good guys to have as weapons and options in this Kansas City offense moving forward. No, right now. The sheets are fired up about the pick on social media patwaid in right away with running this emoji, which is the running emoji. I mean, I think that speaks for itself.
Starting point is 00:56:33 Creed Humphrey treated a great GIF, which I do pronounce it GIF, don't care if you disagree, wrote, me trying to keep up on wide receiver screens this year. So good, so good, dude. Love it. Well done, Creed. Yeah, and linebacker Drew Tranquil tweeted this. Xavier worthy down there somewhere. Let's go. Time to work. Yep. Chiefs are fired up. Creed, Tranquil, all them boys love them dudes, man. We just got to see everybody walking into the building today and already got me fired up.
Starting point is 00:57:02 Love it. Excited about that pick. just as I'm excited about all the draft Picks I mean, I know we got offensive tackle Kingsley out of BYU is an absolute stud of an athlete one of the fucking biggest Strongest guys I've ever seen on film and then on top of that the fourth round pick Jared Wiley TCU kid that we were just talking about excited about getting any type of big athletic kid that we were just talking about excited about getting any type of big athletic just ball player and when you turn on the film quarterback turned tight end I believe those guys typically pan out as the history says. Yeah, I know a guy or two. And I'm always excited about getting just getting new guys in the building.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Because you never like you said, it's it's it's fun to see those guys rise to the occasion and get better throughout the offseason, throughout training camp. Shout out to Jayden Hicks, big hunter from Penn State, man. Quarterback out of Tennessee, Kamal and then who else? We got the seventh rounder from Holy Cross, man. CJ, come on in, baby. Yeah.

It was reported by ESPN and Adam Scheffner that the Eagles signed AJ Brown to a three-year extension during the first round of the NFL Draft. Yeah, AJ Brown's worth every single penny, man. $96 million over three years. Holy shnikes. That's a lot of money. Making him the highest paid wide receiver NFL history He's under contract through 2029 now. So he is a Philly Eagle For a long time. He is he is and this is probably the best news on draft day
Starting point is 01:02:16 I think everybody gets fired up about the draft, but I think there's a lot of rumors and circulation and hopefully this contract puts that to bed for AJ and for him, Devante Smith, who they also extended recently for both of those guys to be in Philadelphia for the foreseeable future. We got some options at Y receiver. So congrats brother. Way to go Swole Batman. Swole Batman. Hey.
Starting point is 01:02:39 All right. Well, in the first round of the actual draft outside of the big news about AJ Brown we actually had the Eagles select a Toledo cornerback. That's right Kenyon Mitchell, how about that? How you say is I you pronounce the first name? Sorry about that Quinion. I can't read so don't hold it against me. Um six foot 195 I mean, I love it man Toledo is Little Mac ball, baby. That's right. I love the Mac guys, man. There's something about Mac football. The majority of the school is being from Ohio. I just I just feel like those guys just got a little bit more grit, you know, a little more grind to him. And when you watch this guy play play football man he's a physical dude. It feels weird to say this with how the season ended. I really don't think there were a lot of
Starting point is 01:03:27 needs for this Eagles roster. They've reloaded and free agency. They've re-signed a lot of their players that they needed to. The big areas that I think were left untapped, they obviously have been vocal about they wanted to improve the secondary. That's been something that they wanted to get and they get it right away with the first round pick. And boy did they. I think this was a lot of players or a lot of people's top rated player in the draft this year at the cornerback position. Right away you saw him being praised by Nick Saban. Nick Saban talking about he was trying to get him out of the portal to Alabama. A guy that doesn't have a lot of negatives outside of the fact that he played at Toledo.
Starting point is 01:04:06 One of the other things people say, you know, he hasn't done a lot of man coverage, but obviously the Eagles are more than happy to see all these things throughout the process. And yeah, he's gonna be a bird. He's gonna be able to play in Philadelphia along with Darius Slay and some guys that have been around for a long time, played for Vic Fangio, who's one of the best secondary defensive coordinators in the league. So, excited about what this guy's gonna be able to bring to the defense, no doubt about it.
Starting point is 01:04:32 All right now, well Jordan Malata actually announced the pick from Australia. How about that? Thank you Uncle Roger. Good evening to those of you from the beautiful land down under. Refers to Gadell as Uncle Roger. This was the first ever pick announced from Australia.
Starting point is 01:04:48 So shout out to Jordan. He was over there doing some stuff on behalf of the NFL, expanding the game to his homeland. And yeah, shout out to Jordan, brother. Right away, get to adjust the secondary with the first pick, with Quignan Mitchell. And they didn't slow down because they went cornerback slash DB right away with Cooper DeJon
Starting point is 01:05:07 From Iowa who was getting a lot of noise One for being a great player, but also too. I think we can just go out and say it He's the first white cornerback that uh, I mean we've really seen I mean, there've been a few drafted I think the commander's had one not too long ago, but none of them have really stuck. It's been something that's kinda happened, but we've been waiting to see the next Jason Seahorn. Could Cooper DeJon be it? Who knows? Time will tell.
Starting point is 01:05:33 Time will tell. I will say, I think he's probably gonna move inside to start. You have Slay on the outside. You just drafted Quinian Mitchell. I doubt he's playing over one of those two in case an injury, unless an injury happens, but you know, they're going to find a spot for him if they draft him that high.
Starting point is 01:05:48 And the good thing is he's a ball player. He's just a ball player, man. Exactly. He's played everywhere. He can play inside, he can play outside. He's played a little bit of offense, it sounds like. He's been a returner. This dude has a lot of things he does well and it really comes down to he's just a football
Starting point is 01:06:03 player. Yeah. As Stout says, the more you can do, the more value you have. And it seems like this guy can do a little bit of everything. Excited to see what he does this year in Philly. Micah Parsons in particular got pretty heated with this pick. Apparently he was the best cornerback in the draft, judging by him, which is always fun
Starting point is 01:06:21 when you make a Dallas Cowboy upset with an Eagles pick. Thank you for that Micah. Really appreciated that. Round three we go defensive line. We go edge defender Jalex Hunt from Houston Christian. 64-250 answered the phone from Howie Roseman saying what's up big pimping. You answer the phone from the GM that's drafting you with that. I'll tell you what he's confident.
Starting point is 01:06:42 What's up big pimping. He's a huge birds guy apparently. you with that. I'll tell you what he's confident. What's up big pampin? He's a huge birds guy apparently. There's a tweet with an eagle and he said amazing bird, two sets of eyelids one set being hard and transparent. When storms approach instead of hiding they use those transparent eyelids to fly into the storm. Debris can affect vision and they use the storm to rise above the storm itself And he said working to be like the eagle. How about that? Jaylix is also a zoologist I love it round four we go running back will Shipley from Clemson five eleven two ten We're starting to get dangerous with the white skill position players. We'll see I mean, it's just not historically proven highly successful
Starting point is 01:07:24 But man, I'm rooting for him. 31 rushing touchdowns since 2021. Yeah, shipply on Philly. I could not ask for anything else than to be a Philadelphia Eagle and go to contend for a Superbowl with one of the best cultures that I've seen in the NFL. He's seen a lot. I've gained a love for the city of Philly, could not be better spot for my family and I. I'm excited to see what all these guys do. Yeah. Excited to see what will brings to the table. Obviously Eagles just signed a Saquon Barkley.
Starting point is 01:07:51 So he gets to learn from a guy who's been an unbelievable pro from day one. Day one. And it's, it's a great room. I know all the guys in there and just, he's going to love it and it'll fit right in. I'm sure of it. All right. Round five, we go in Nia Smith out of Texas A&M played wide receiver running back and punt returner in college so we got we got a lot of returners here. We're also returning I think unless Covey signed someplace else a really
Starting point is 01:08:14 really good returner from last year already. Forced 20 missed tackles last season seventh among all wide receivers in the country. That's good. Making mistakes is usually good. Round five, we go with a little bit of a little family reunion here. We go Jeremiah Trotter Jr. out of Clemson. Obviously Jeremiah Trotter Sr. Jeremiah Trotter, the Axeman was a legendary Philadelphia Eagle. Axeman baby. You know, I think he is somebody who represents exactly what you think of when you think of Philadelphia Eagles through toughness and through grit and
Starting point is 01:08:48 Through hitting the shit out of people. I mean he laid people the fuck out. So Jeremiah Trotter They're gonna help you. Yes, so hopefully bring that same mentality back to the birds He had a genuinely emotional phone call with Howie and Jeffrey Lurie You know, I think we'll play the clip but you can see for yourself What you thinking man you think we straight up and take you right here that'd be pretty cool Yeah, you're an eagle brother just like it's meant to be Jeremiah how long how old were you when I first met you? Three four congrats, man How old were you when I first met you? I'm two, two, three, four. Congrats, man.
Starting point is 01:09:30 Thank you. Really, really special moment for him his family. You love it when you see stuff like this going down on draft day. Round five finally get to the offensive line. I know stout was probably chomping at the bit here and he finally gets a guy in round five offensive guard Trevor Keegan out of Michigan. Six-five, big man from Michigan. Don't know much about him, I'm not going to lie. I did not watch a lot of draft tape this year, but we know he can chug a beer at parades, which is a good start. Listen, I'm excited to see what the kid can do. I'm always excited with the young guys. You never know.
Starting point is 01:10:02 Especially the ones in your position group, right? I feel like other positions I'm not as quick to feel like I know immediately. I feel like with offense alignment, you can almost tell the first day they go out there. It's like, oh, he moves. He's got it. You know what I mean? I don't know if you feel the same way at tight end. Every once in a while, a guy will wow you. You'll be like, oh, this guy can't really move that well, and then he'll start playing. And he kind of finds a way to get it done But most of all most of the time nearly right away. You're like, oh, yeah I'm seeing what I need to see this guy saw that I saw that out of Noah gray
Starting point is 01:10:35 Yeah, I'm up a couple years ago four years ago I think now when he came out for OTAs and his attention to detail how he was running routes How fast he picked up. I was like, oh, this dude is a fucking pro. He's going to be awesome. There's like some guys that even when they're just playing the highlight on draft day, you can like be like, oh yeah, like there was a tackle got picked early out of Oregon State. And I saw like a one pass set and I was like, oh, I know what you're talking about. Oh yeah. And then I saw him just completely demoralizing people after that and I was like goddamn
Starting point is 01:11:05 This dude is a fucking beast Teleti Fuagga, holy shit. You see like the balance and like the way they're open up like I know exactly what you're saying I said the same thing. I'm pretty sure Whoever drafted him and thought the exact same thing when they saw I don't even know who drafted him But I was I just remember when it was like dinner and then they started showing his eyes I was like fuck yes, and I saw his face. I was like, I met that guy in Philadelphia. He was cool as shit too.
Starting point is 01:11:29 And I'm like. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Has there ever been anybody that you see get drafted or you're like. I don't know. All the time, yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:38 And it's interesting when they go really high. The majority of them. Nah, I wouldn't say it's the majority. I think the majority of the guys that go high, you do watch and you're like, yeah, you think it looks right. But there's some guys where it's just like right away you think, man, that is, I have seen that before, those exact movements and the way it anatomically looks. And for some reason, he was one guy where I had watched zero tape and I only saw the highlight tapes on draft
Starting point is 01:12:06 day. And I was like, damn, I like the way that pass it looks. I like the way he's redirecting. I like the way he's finishing. I mean, very limited sample size. But I feel pretty confident that dude's gonna be a beast. I don't know. Well, I'm going on record right now.
Starting point is 01:12:20 T'Lisi, don't you fucking disappoint me. Back to the Eagles draft. Eagles fans want to the Eagles draft. Eagles fans want to know about that. Round six, we go receiver Johnny Wilson out of Florida State who ran a 4.5 240 at 231 pounds. That's a heavy receiver. That's a big body right there.
Starting point is 01:12:36 It's a big boy. Seems like he's staying at receiver Nick Sirianni. Seem to hint that he would not be moving to tight end. God damn, 6'6", 231. That's a big boy. Big boy. big boy. and then round six we go with the Jason Kelsey selection at pick 190 and Dylan McMahon the undersized center 6'3 299 one pick before yours truly per next gen stats the third highest athleticism score since 2003
Starting point is 01:13:02 at 95. i had a 98 athleticism score when I was selected to 191, just saying, according to this. I don't even know what the fuck that means. In 2023, he had 361 pass blocking snaps, 12 quarterback pressures allowed, one sack allowed. Of course, I'm excited to see what this kid does. And I'm sure Stout's excited about having some new guys in the room and some fresh young guys are really trying to mold. I always love when the new guys get there. Six round center. I mean, let's be honest, no six round center is paying out. Especially not Eagles ones. I think it was a good, obviously we addressed a lot of needs, but not only did we address the needs, we addressed the needs with perceived value.
Starting point is 01:13:42 You never know long term how this stuff is going to pan out. But we do know that most draft experts when the Eagles selected these guys were rated higher than where they went. You know, Cooper Dejean was seen as a first round talent. Quinian Mitchell was expected to be off the board by the time the Eagles were picking. So whenever you're picking guys that were supposed to pick way higher I feel like usually that pans out. I don't know But I do know that we needed DB's and what sounds like we got some good ones I do know that we needed some more O line and O line depth and we've got some of those guys I do know we got some new receivers, which is always good. So I think it was a good draft. Thank you. Howie Roseman
Starting point is 01:14:22 Hopefully this one pans out for you brother and fill it out the Eagles fans Shout out to the Eagles and all the draftees man, and it does it for our draft coverage But so hopefully these These young guys are going These next two weeks get comfortable in the in Casey and in wherever they're they got drafted I'm not just talking about Casey and Eagles, man. All the draftees, man. Come in, work hard, brother.
Starting point is 01:14:49 Good luck. I might go down to the rookie mini camp, just to check it out. Dude, it is chaos. I love watching that stuff. It's not even football. I love watching it. I enjoy it because I like to see
Starting point is 01:14:59 how people react to fucking up. Ha ha ha ha. Like when the hand clap happens? Big hand clap. Just like you drop a pass? Damn it. The big, the palms up. Don't let me see what the palms up. That's a big no no. No palms up. And lastly in draft related news, it looks like evaluating players actually is, BUNZ plays a major role in scouting NFL talent. That's right. Cults of the Caboose, an athletic article that was released a couple weeks ago, I think,
Starting point is 01:15:32 by Josh Kendall of the athletic. Yeah, marks us making us question our use of the term BUNZ. We usually say it in a negative way, but it turns out ass is all these scouts are looking at. With the headline, a high butt factor might be an NFL draft prospects most prize asset. Asset. The article quotes several coaches as they talk about the importance of literal buns when it comes to scouting players. I love a good buns pun. Yeah, we got to talk about
Starting point is 01:16:04 some of these quotes. First up, Nick Saban explains a Bill Bel comes to scouting players. I love a good buns pun. Yeah, we gotta talk about some of these quotes. First up, Nick Saban explains a Bill Belichick scouting philosophy. Bill likes to look and see how big their ass is when they get down in a 40 yard stance because he wants to sign the biggest ass defensive lineman he can sign. I mean, I'm not gonna lie,
Starting point is 01:16:18 I think that's a good strategy and a savvy move by the old ball coach. Especially defensive line. There's something about a big ass that just like helps you really anchor. I will say, I don't like a sloppy ass. I like a tight ass. I don't want it to be big and sloppy.
Starting point is 01:16:33 Like you don't want it running and it jiggling too much. You want it to be a firm big ass. If that thing, if you got a caboose back there and you're fucking holding the line, it's bad when you got the big sloppy butt and you're getting moved back. That's not a good look. It's like bouncing up and down
Starting point is 01:16:50 like he's twerking in the club right back to the linebacker. I want that firm ass sitting there, nose guard right at the line, just big old wide hips. Falcons assistant GM Kyle Smith, one of the first things you learn getting into scouting is the anchor.
Starting point is 01:17:07 Big asses, big rear ends, and posterior chain. Back and ass and hamstrings. That's how you anchor. I think that's, I mean, that's pretty accurate. I think that's pretty much it. I will say there's certain positions where I like it to be more proportionate. Like I think sometimes if it's offense alignment
Starting point is 01:17:22 and their ass is just like a big bubble butt, it's their balance isn't as good like they gotta have it's got to look proper for offensive line It's gotta look proper but for defensive line. I mean they can just such a good bit I mean for defensive line they can look about as as heavy as possible. I don't think it matters I mean it usually pans out. I think this is very true. We also got tons of Coach Reed quotes on asses, including this one from punter Dustin Kolkwit. Coach Reed has quoted it as saying, "'Punters have to have big butts.
Starting point is 01:17:50 "'As soon as you start to look like you're going downhill "'from a physique standpoint, you're out of here. "'Keep that ass going.'" Coach Reed, I mean, he has the quote for you where he said, you lose your glutes, you lose your games. Now he's thinking of the punters. I never thought in a million years it mattered if punters had big asses, but apparently posterior chain, baby Yeah, but you're using that's a hip flexor movement. What does an ass have to do with a punt?
Starting point is 01:18:12 No, you got to think about what the force you're putting in With the with the leg that's in the ground. Yeah, it's like a driver I guess the the bigger the back end is of it the more power that it exerts through the ball There you go. There you go. I would think quads would have make whatever I think this is all very accurate for certain positions. I do think that you know You want more shapely in in in in proper proportioned asses for most of the positions but defensive line. I mean You want a big ass. I mean, I think when I think of defensive line asses, who do you think of with defensive line, I mean, you want a big ass. I mean, when I think of defensive line asses, who do you think of with defensive line asses? What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:18:50 What guys? Every defensive lineman ever. Every nose guard. Every single one of them. I will say Vince Wilfork, Vince Wilfork had a small ass and he was a monster. Well, I mean, there's always the anomalies. There's always the anomalies.
Starting point is 01:19:01 He had the big gut, but his ass really wasn't that big. It was kind of. Or his gut was so big that it just made it look like he had a regular ass. He had those athletic legs though because Vince could actually move. That's what was different about Vince. Most of the guys with big asses aren't great. I mean you have Javon Hargrave. Javon Hargrave has an enormous ass but he's very explosive and moves well. That's rare for the big ass. The big ass is usually just like gear one. They stay in gear one. They don't get up to gears two and three very often.
Starting point is 01:19:29 That is my knee drive, that's why. Yeah, I mean, you're limited from a mobility standpoint of getting those hips engaged. You kind of just sit that ass back there. I mean, I think of BJ Raji. BJ Raji had a big ass. The refrigerator parry, he wasn't so much that it bubbled out.
Starting point is 01:19:45 He's just a wide ass. A Bo Allen had a big ass. Honey Bobo. Shout out to Honey Bobo. Honey Bobo's fucking. Dude, he had some, he looked like a baby rhinoceros out there with the blonde hair. You know who I really think of the most though? And not many people are going to notice this guy's name.
Starting point is 01:20:01 Terrence Knighton. His nickname was pot roast. He played for Washington for a couple years. I forget where he was at before that. I'm not kidding you. He's the biggest. I mean, he was over 400 pounds at one point. I remember playing him and it held up. It was hard to move him. That motherfucker. God damn, he was a load. This is an accurate assessment of asses by some of the all time greats in coaching. I mean, posterior chain, man. Explosion.
Starting point is 01:20:26 Yeah, I mean, it's exploding in multiple ways. That does it on our non-draft news right there. Yeah. Thank you, Jason, for your diagnosis of the caboose. And shout out to the gentleman at the Athletic. What ass do you think of when you think of an NFL player? Jason Kelsey. I don't have an ass, Trevor.
Starting point is 01:20:46 Ask Kylie, she knows. Kylie calls me, says I got a chicken ass. That's exactly what she says. I swear to God. We can call her right now. Watch this, unprompted. She's not gonna pick up, no chance. Hello?
Starting point is 01:21:03 Kai. What's up? What do you say my ass resembles a chicken ass Thank you The food yeah and the kids Now I'll leave the kids here, bring the food. All right, perfect. All right, I'll see you in a little bit. Do chickens have glutes?
Starting point is 01:21:29 I think that's the point. She's saying basically that there's nothing back there. It's just flat. She ain't looking at the same ass. I just know it's powerful. That's all I know. It does, I will admit, it's hard to tell where the back and the ass starts, but it's got some power in it.
Starting point is 01:21:45 All right. Well, that does it on our non draft news and the caboose commissioner. Good Dell's idea of NFL scheduling. He was on the Pat McAfee show and talked about some potential scheduling tweaks he'd like to see in the future, which typically means it's going to fucking happen. The highlights were moving to a 18 game regular season. That's right. Yeah, he wants to add another game
Starting point is 01:22:07 and also cutting back on pre-season games. So take away the third pre-season game that's there right now and move it to the regular season. I'm with that. I think even like Joey Burrow said it, like if you're gonna give us more days we have to play or more weeks we have to play, give us a fucking bye week or something in there.
Starting point is 01:22:28 Another bye week. Yeah. Yeah. Or an extra like, I don't know. Yeah, I do think- What do you think about this? I think there should be another bye week if it goes to 18. I think it probably should already have another bye week.
Starting point is 01:22:41 So yeah, so that way take away one of the preseason, another preseason game and then just put another bye week in there. Or you just extend the season by bye week. So yeah, so that way take away one of the preseason another preseason game and then just put another bye week in there. Or you just extend the season by a week. But I think I think we committed to this when we went to 17 games. The reality was, we left the option for the the league to go to 18 games when the NFL PA made that commitment. And 17 games doesn't make sense. It's an odd number. It's weird home and away. 18 makes sense. So be even home and away games every year for every team. So this was something
Starting point is 01:23:11 that was going to happen. And it's been on the docket from the moment we went to 17 games. So that's not shocking. I think the best part of this is that the Super Bowl is getting moved to President's Day, which we talked about it before. I think we actually made this happen. I don't think the NFL had this on their eyesight at all which we talked about it before I think we actually made this happen I don't think the NFL had this on their eyesight at all we talked about putting the Super Bowl on a three-day weekend way before this ever got released so New Heights you can thank us for being able to celebrate Super Bowl Sunday on a three-day weekend that's right baby we're doing it it also gives us a reason to celebrate Presidents Day I mean
Starting point is 01:23:44 nobody celebrates Presidents Day it's just also gives us a reason to celebrate President's Day. I mean nobody celebrates President's Day It's just a it's a forgotten holiday and now The Super Bowl is on the President's Day. So it's really the Super Bowl day I think we just renamed the whole thing Let's just nix the the President's Day thing and just call it Super Bowl weekend and it could be a national holiday Is this why they moved up the skit the everybody's offseason? I don't think this is going to affect this year This would be in the future. Yeah, because then it would be later
Starting point is 01:24:12 Anyways, President's Day is after the where the Super Bowl is right now. President's Day is always the weekend after. Yeah So it would be later. All right. Hopefully next year we who knows we get a longer offseason Hopefully we can rename President's Day because nobody celebrates that shit. So fucked up. Have you ever heard somebody say they're celebrating Presidents Day? With anything? School? Other than history teachers maybe?
Starting point is 01:24:35 School? Yeah, but you get the school day off. That's what I'm saying. But nobody's throwing a barbecue or doing nothing on Presidents Day. We need to do this. We need to make this day worthwhile. We need to play a super bowl and we need to rename it. Nobody who cares. Presidents suck. Let's be honest. There is going to be a dozen.
Starting point is 01:25:02 Who's your favorite president, Jason? Who's my favorite president? I don't know, George Washington. Teddy Roosevelt seemed like a badass. All right, now, non-duper centers, onto something a little bit more joyous. Before we get out of here, we want to share an exclusive clip from our conversation with Bengals quarterback, Joey burrow. That's right Yeah, we talked to Joe burrow at our since he live show and here's a fresh look at how that conversation went right now We're gonna get to some of these old trees we found here, okay, we're gonna have a little more fun
Starting point is 01:25:39 We got some old ones with let's let's tune them up You want to see aliens, right? Where's it at? Show me the aliens! I mean, where are they? Like... I'm with you, you know? They say they're walking right among us. That's crazy!
Starting point is 01:26:01 Unzip yourself, Orlando. I mean, I feel like... I feel like if they are advanced enough to come and visit us, then they're advanced enough to cloak their technology from us and we won't be able to see it so maybe people we know about it, maybe we don't, but I feel like somebody's gotta know. There's aliens among us. You're talking to two guys who heard Wait I keep getting points. Yeah, I know everyone's I gotta say, until I see aliens or UFOs on something that's not like the worst video ever,
Starting point is 01:26:56 come on, I gotta be, it's a little bit more evidence before I get full evidence. Dude, that's why they're so good though, like he said, they can make it blurry. I'm not gonna deny. They can make it blurry them, the Locust monster can make it blurry, so can the big Eddie. We're not gonna see it on an iPhone camera, dog. Yeah. Like, no.
Starting point is 01:27:15 Seisty knows something. It does. The Chinese can send them freakin' balloons up over us. That's what Xaelian's gonna do, right? Jesus. All right, you're also pro taunting. I am pro taunting, yeah. So am I.
Starting point is 01:27:28 Why are you pro taunting? We're all grown adults that work really hard at what we do, and sometimes we like to show it. I'm not gonna get my feelings hurt if somebody sacks me and taunts me, like, you made a play, I didn't. Like, good for you, you're allowed to taunt. Have you ever gotten a taunting flag?
Starting point is 01:27:46 I've never got a taunting flag. No? How many you got? At what level of football? He's throwing a flag, he's throwing a flag. I did though, that's my favorite one. Throwing a flag at the ref, fucking. You can get a little feisty out there.
Starting point is 01:27:59 Just a wee bit. Yeah. Trav gonna talk that shit. I got anger management and I talk entirely too much. I do. Actually one of my favorite taunting penalties that I got. Yes, I do have favorites. We were playing the Eagles.
Starting point is 01:28:16 My first time playing it actually on the field against the Eagles in Kansas City. In KC, you know we won the shoot ball. We did lose that game. Yes, that was the last game you guys lost that year So we played them and sure enough. It's a low-scoring game. We could have moved the ball too well on him Smitty handed that thing off to Kareem hunt And it was me and Brandon Graham talking shit the entire G talks major
Starting point is 01:28:39 She will it was before I knew BG all like that and then sure enough Yeah, he got he got a little winning You know they they they come in like hockey subs on the defensive line. Yeah, it's some bullshit Sure enough he went off for a play I hammed up the D D lineman that came in for him on one back power Which if you guys don't believe I could block I'm like you're about to say you're walking I was and I did my job and I felt so good that I thought I'd run over to the sideline and tell Brandon Graham to bring his ass back out here.
Starting point is 01:29:09 Hey, what happened? Well, I got a flag for going to the sideline and talking to the sideline. You can't do that kids. And then Brandon Graham continued to throw me around for the rest of the game. E.G., little pit bull. Who's the best shit talker that you've played? You already talked about Fletcher Cox, you're welcome to the NFL, BG's, known for. Is there anybody else that's really up there for you?
Starting point is 01:29:36 Not really. No? No. That's fair. What about you, Orlando? You played against Max Crosby, right? Yeah, he wasn't talking when we played him though Max. What do we do? I'm pretty nice to the defensive line smart. So it's people aren't really talking to me like that because I'll just be like
Starting point is 01:30:00 Smart guys my guy my I would have to say biggest shit talkers He's at the he's a you know, I played with him at the one at the top of my list What I got a story for him, too, but um Brit BG yeah, and then our guy Trey Henderson. I just Yeah, holy shit shout out Trey man. Love it. What a bad man. Yeah. Yeah, hell yeah, but Travis gonna talk that shit we were playing Denver one time Sunday night and He comes in motion. This is mid-cadence white 80 what he comes in motion back and forth and My D ins wearing goggles and he as he comes back across the guard. He looks at the D
Starting point is 01:30:39 He says man, you got on fucking goggles. Oh this guy's got on fucking goggles I'm like man is there trap trap trap go talk. He go talk that talk is man you got on fucking goggles? Oh this guy's got on fucking goggles. Why they be sitting hunting? I'm like man this is a trap, Trav, he gonna talk that talk man. Guy couldn't even fucking see. Blind is a bat. How much does it determine to who you're playing? For me I was just feeling it out,
Starting point is 01:30:59 am I gonna be nice to this guy, am I gonna talk shit to this guy? What am I gonna do to get in his head? That was one of my favorite battles of like you would figure out guys Especially when you played a multiple times Hey, I'm nice to this guy he's gonna change the way he plays Or if I get pissed off at him and kind of change the way place too That's one of the insides of the game
Starting point is 01:31:15 Yeah, that's why it should be allowed because it's a tool that if you're a smart enough player you understand how to utilize it as well I just feel like I mean nobody's gonna get their feelings hurt out there. Like, the only people that are getting... If they do, tough shit. Yeah, like, if you wanna find us, fine us, but don't throw a 15-yard penalty. Like, that affects the game too much for... Agreed. I feel like we should be able to show our emotions and wear emotions on our sleeves
Starting point is 01:31:40 because we work so hard for what we do. Excellent. Let the boys play. Make football fun again. Let us talk. It's an emotional sport. All right. Once again, our interview with Joe as well as our interviews with Desmond Rittery and
