It's the show that takes you inside the greatest sports stories of all time. And our new two-parter is truly one of the greatest stories of human perseverance ever told.

Yes, it is the story of the speed demon, the Max missile, it's Mark Cavendish and his journey to beat Eddie Mirks' Tour de France stage win record. 35 is the magic number, 35 stage wins. It's almost too good to be true. And there was a point where nobody thought that this was ever going to happen for him. But despite all the outside noise, Mark Hamdish carries on and proves everyone wrong to show why he is one of the all-time greats.

See if I can sneak this in here. Honestly, there's not that big of a difference. It kind of looks like the same person. Say it again. Trev. You hear me? Oh, I hear you. Can you hear me?

Yeah, I can hear you. I was saying there's not that much of a difference. It kind of looks like the same person. Ha. Nice. Nice. The fuck you laughing at, Jason? Welcome back to Newell Heights, ladies and gentlemen. 92 percenters. I got this silly-ass mascot ahead on,

but I'll tell you why in a second. This show is presented by Wondry Plus, and what is it produced by? Wave Sports and Entertainment. Only done this a hundred times. Don't know why I can't remember it. Make sure you follow the show on all social media at New High Show with 1S

and don't forget this show is sponsored by who the fuck? Oh, let me just read this real quick. Having a good old time. And this show is brought to you by Buffalo Wild Wings. Let's go sports part. Jason, you got a clap. Thank you. Well done, Trav. As Travis said, Jason, why don't you tell the people what we got coming up? All right. As Travis said, this is a wonder show produced

by our friends at Wave Sports and Entertainment. Coming up this episode, we got a great one planned for you 92 percenters. As you can see, Travis is dressed to the nines for this occasion. We're going to talk about the big yetis big game in LA. Big game. I had 89 yards. That's not a big game. The rest of the biggest stories from around the league, including Jared Goff and J and Daniels breaking all kinds of records. We're also going to pick our finalists for the New Heights Film Club. And of course, wrap up with some more of your not dumb questions. But before we get to anything, I got to be honest, I was really hungry.

We kind of rushing off the golf course. And I thought I'd get right to it. Buffalo Wild Wings Sports Bar is our official sponsor for this episode and they sent me a bunch of Buffalo Wild Wings, so I'm gonna eat some wild wings. I mean, dude, they sent so much. I can't even like, I have wings. I don't even know what to do with all. This is probably, I mean, no joke. Let me do some math real quick. So two and a half, five. This is pro- I probably got about, I don't know, 15 dead chickens sitting in my lap right now. Deep fried and covered in delicious sauces.

Talk to me dirty. As well as blue cheese. Got this this wonderful bacon burger which I really like how they've layered it that smells delicious now that you uh know who this show is brought to you by and jason's uh eating his wings i might as well tell you guys why i even have this mascot head on and where it comes from uh it comes from good old Lubbock, Texas. That's right. The, uh, Texas tech Red Raiders beat up on our Cincinnati bear cats over the weekend and, uh, me and Pat had a little, uh, fun little, uh, wager that we, uh, we came up with.

Um, if, if the bear cats would have won, Pat would have been at the press conference, uh, that he has every single week, um, wearing a bear cat mascot head and sure enough, as you can see, the Bearcat's lost because I'm sitting here looking like an idiot wearing this Red Raiders mascot. Let you know right now, you don't look like an idiot at all. You look like... Well, I mean, Jason, this is, it's just who I am.

All right. I can, I feel like, you know what I mean? You just got to own it. You look like a full on version of Yosemite Sam is what you look like. I mean, that's the only thing. The Red full on version of Yosemite Sam is what you look like. I mean, that's the only thing the Red Raiders clearly stole Yosemite Sam. It is kind of an honor though because I used to play with this guy in NCAA football like growing up when you could do the full mascot teams. I used to play with this guy all the time. Well, you're killing it. Yeah. Thanks a lot. Good Satterfield. Much appreciated. It's extremely hot under here. You don't get a lot of...

There's not a lot of air coming through this thing. So it kind of feels like I'm hyperventilating a little bit. Do you have a newfound respect for mascots trying to podcast in it and realizing that they do like flips and run around a stadium? Not that I didn't already respect them, but I mean, if this is what they're doing in Lubbock, Texas in a hundred degree dry ass heat, fuck that. Oh my gosh. That thing's got some bacteria in there. And on top of that, they're running around getting everybody excited.

Yeah. Does that thing have mold growing on the inside? Whatever that guy does, guns up, guns up. You think he just does guns up to everybody. I mean Probably that's what I'm doing. I'm not what else can you do? Definitely not going above and beyond but a shout out to the Texas Tech Red Raiders for getting the dub There's the first time the Bearcats played Texas Or played tech and me and Pat wanted to have some fun with it knowing that I don't think we'd ever Matched up in the football field before. So Bearcats, I need you guys next time, baby.

But you didn't disappoint either. That was a great game, man. You have a Stetson cowboy hat. Do you know what kind of brand cowboy hat that is? I have no idea what a. You like that one? How does it get Hattie? Hattie, partner. Youdy. Howdy. Howdy. Give me give us your

best. If Red Raider talked, give us your best what you think Red Raider would sound like. Yeah. Come on down to Levitt, Texas. That's all I got. Yeah, I mean, that's it. We'll throw batteries at you. We'll throw third pairs at you. You come down here. You're gonna get your ass whooped. Welcome to Lubbock, Texas where there's tumbleweeds and college

football. That's all we got. Yeah, tumbleweeds and college football. Oh my god That was awesome Whoo, and I'm still repping the bearcats baby all day You see I gotta give another shout out before we get started. I played that TPC course in Connecticut the woman that got me on her name aunt Aunt Robin got me on the course. Okay, Mrs. Rob. The Mrs. Robbins. She was trying to find garage beers to give us for the round, but apparently they're not

in Connecticut. We got to get on Andy and those guys to freaking step up their game in Connecticut. But she did hook us up with some Neal's donuts. Let you know I already had one. Yeah, good thing they're over there. They might give Lamar's a run for their money out there in KC. Ooh, the golden, the yellow box. The yellow boxes are dangerous. Gosh, these donuts were great.

I love a good yellow box. I've been, I'm at that point in the season where I'm like, let me just push it away. Just, I see that golden glazed donut just sitting in the yellow box. I'm just like, I don't need that today. I'll get it tomorrow. Knowing that they don't have boxes of donuts in the building every day, just lie to myself so that I don't just grab 10 donuts and run around the corner and just stuff my face like a little fat kid. What happened to all the donuts? It's a sad day when you're in your NFL career and you realize you've hit that age where you can't just eat whatever you want.

It's like, God damn it. I remember I used to live for ice cream the day before games. Oh, yeah, the little snack bar. Yeah. Yeah. And it got to like, year 12. And Brett Selig said something to me before one of the games one day he's like, man, I shouldn't have a milkshake last night. I just feel like crap. I was like, yeah, so like, it's not the value play football. It's the milkshake. And then I got to year 12. And I ate some ice

cream and I tried to go play football the next day and I was like, oh shit. This is real life. Why am I so lethargic today? I just feel like a big blob. Yeah. Am I bloated? Am I bloating?

Well I'm going to keep eating these Buffalo Wild Wings and donuts. So thank you Buffalo Wild Wings and Buffalo Wild Wings Go. Triple Bacon Cheeseburger and the Buffalo Bacon Sauce was tremendous to be delivered. Let's go Sports Bar. All right. New news. New news. New news is brought to you by our friends at Varney Airlines where good leads the way.

How do you even remember? I guess you read it. So yeah, new news is brought to you by our friends at United Airlines where good leads the way. Did United ever get back to us on whether they like the whole Varney Airlines better or not their fans? All right. First bit of new news we got is Kelsey Car Jam out here in Kansas City. That's right. My foundation, 87 and Running, has the annual foundation event. This year is the second year we've done a car show, or basically a block party style event that will showcase some of the city's top automobiles from the Fuel House, a fun car club out here. And then I guess a bunch of others that are lined up. It's going to be fun. I should have my old school 70 Chevelle all revved up and ready to rock and roll, but I'll bring one of the other cars that I have. Jason should be there and it is this Saturday. That's why we're reminding you guys. All the proceeds to the event will go to 87 and Running Foundation, which benefits the

inner city of Kansas City, Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and just the underserved youth in the city. And it's always fun to get out here in Kansas City. Kansas City, they show up every single time that I've done anything foundation-wise, and I love them for it. So if you're in town for the game, just stopping through or just live here in Kansas City

and wanna get out on Saturday afternoon, come on down to the Kelsey Car Jam, baby. This could be downtown in the KTC area, and tickets are still available for the Kelsey car jam at 87 and running.org I believe. Oh, check it out guys. We'd love to see you guys down there. I can't wait to go.

I missed last year. Obviously, now that I'm retired, I had the opportunity to go this year and I'm looking forward to it. That'll be fun, man. It'll be fun. Always some good food, some fun cars and just just a nice fun evening for the for the forward to it. No, it'll be fun, man. It'll be fun. Always some good food, some fun cars and just a nice fun evening for the city to enjoy. Do people that attend get to drive any of these cars? Is there like a test track?

No. No? No. Do you think people will let me potentially drive some of the cars? I think you could persuade. You're very good. You could persuade some people. Probably. Should wait on the garage beers then. Yeah. All right, let's talk about Grotesquerie exclusive clip. We talked about the premiere of Travis

new show, Grotesquerie. Grotesquerie. And 92% as we've got a very special treat for you today and a treat for Jason because I haven't seen this either. Tonight, Wednesday, October 2nd, Travis's character is going to be introduced in episode three. Oh, that's right.nd, Travis's character is going to be introduced in episode three. Old Ed Loughlin. That's right. Wait, what's your character's name? Ed Loughlin. Did you get to choose Ed?

Nope. Is that in honor of Ed Kelsey? It's just fate, man. Just lines up perfect. I could see Ed Kelsey being a murderer. What? If somebody told me dad killed somebody, I'd be like, yes. It's for good reason though. I can see it for good reason. Yeah. He wouldn't kill anybody. Yeah. Like he's not a, I don't think, like a serial killer.

I don't think Ed Kelsey could do the things that are going on in grotesquery. We're going to talk about that in a second. I was about to say, yeah. But yes, episode three at 10 PM on FX tonight, you can see Travis's character. what's it, Ed what? Lockelin. Ed Lockelin, gonna make his debut. But you don't have to wait because the grotesquery team sent us an exclusive never before seen clip of Travis' first scene to air right here, right now.

I can't wait. I'm just gonna watch you watch it. I don't want to watch it. Thank you, handsome. What's your name? Ed, Ed Lachlan. But you can call me Eddie. Eddie.

Something tells me when you're done with your little SIGI break here, you're going to want to get the hell out of here. And I don't blame you. I already know what's happening in this show. But should you be driving? Probably not. I don't want to anyway. Of course you are.

Of course I am. Windows down, hair blowing in the wind. You know it. This is so, I can't watch it. I can't even listen to it Not a lie killed her right there you're full of shit No, I'll tell you what the DC's are great to me. She's awesome and he made it to the LA game I saw that how about that? She came out and supported me at the Chargers game

Was was cool seeing her on the sideline mama Kels had nothing but amazing things to say about her, as does everybody else. All right. I'm gonna need you to stop dodging. Oh, shit. Did you boil a baby or not? Jason, do I look like I have the, like, courage or the, I don't even know what is the fucked up-ness about me to boil a fucking baby. No, you don't. But Ed Loughlin might. I, Jason, just watch the show.

I think you're so, in that clip, you're dressed like you work at the mental hospital. What's the difference between, why does that? Listen, I've seen Shutter Island before, Travis. When you start working at mental institutions, all sorts of crazy things start happening with the characters. People who you think are one thing start turning into other things.

No, that's because- This is a show I've seen before, baby. So somebody in there is crazy and I don't know who it is, but it's going to have, it might be Nece. It probably is Nece. What? You just said it was me and now you're saying it's Nece? You have no idea what's going on. I don't think you're a real character I think you're a made-up figment of Niecy's imagination is what I think Damn man, I can't even be a real character

If you didn't watch the first two episodes make sure you watch the first two episodes so, you know what you're getting yourself into This shit is crazy. It is insane. It is it's very mysterious. I can't wait. I can't. Yeah, I'm excited for everybody to keep seeing how how everything unfolds. So tonight grotesquery on FX. Make sure you guys check it out. And you can also check it out on Hulu the next day. Oh, nice. Makes it easy if you want to just binge watch the first three episodes. But if you want to see it live, check it out tonight. And moving on to the last bit of new news, if you're looking for a new cookbook and want to support a great cause, Mama Kels, Mama Donna has contributed to the Cooking with the Stars with two R's on it. She has a new cookbook coming out, Jason. This book is being sold

to support the Star Children's Fund and raise money for pediatric cancer research, which is always a good cause. Mom's the best. Isn't she just the sweetest woman in the world? Yeah, she is. And she knows how to cook now. She does. She does. You don't get two big old boys like this without knowing how to cook.

That's right. All right. Now, the star fund was funded by Green Bay Packard legend and two time Super Bowl champion, Bart star. How about that? And his wife Sherry star. So that's why the two Rs on the foundation star Children's Foundation. There we go. And this is the recipe mama kill submitted So let's see what mama kills threw in there. I think we know what it is. What is it lasagna? No, that was dad Baked sweet and spicy chicken breast. She never fucking made this for us. Yeah, i've never had this what i'm calling i'm calling nonsense on this

She got real good when she left when she when we left the house. She got real good when we left the house, she got real good. And when dad stopped slowing her down, she... Yeah. It's fucked up. Dad would just eat the chicken breast before they even... God damn it, Ed. All right, now.

Fan mentions of the week is brought to you by MetaQuest. That's right, expand your world.

Your virtual world is ready player one. All right, let's get to some fan mentions though. First up, we got a ton of movie suggestions from you 92%ers for the New Heights Film Club that we were talking about last week. Hey, I'm pretty excited about I'm actually I'm really into watching some, some movies right now. I don't know what happened. I just say I just got the bug of just like pressing play, you know, we're

also in the middle of a season where you're like traveling a lot and there's plenty of time to watch movies. Nice. Alright, so we'll let's start this thing off for the film club where we're going to narrow this list down to two finalists right now, me and Jason are, and then we're gonna go ahead. Yeah, and then we're gonna go ahead and give those two finalists a vote to the 92 percenters.

On which one we do first? On which one we're gonna watch, yes. We'll review the winning movie on the next Wondry Plus exclusive episode. Does that mean whichever one loses, we're watching second? No, it does not. We'll just keep doing these... These votes? Yeah, keep doing these votes and let the 92 percenters tell us what they want to hear,

because it's up to them. So we've narrowed it down to these choices. Yeah, these are the movie suggestions that we got, that we saw, that were kind of along the lines that we were talking about last week. The first one being Spaceballs. I mean, I would love to rewatch Spaceballs. I would love to rewatch it. I only remember it like, it was almost like it was a parody of Star Wars. You know? Wasn't it just like a joke? You know, like, wasn't it? Wasn't it just like a joke? It wasn't. It wasn't almost like a parody.

It was a full on parody. Yeah, that's what I thought. It's not like I don't remember it all like that. I just remember them having like the tall gold look at the thing that looked like it's supposed to be like and whatever. Yeah, it was baseball. I was so young when I watched baseball. I watched a part of it was Spaceball. I was so young when I watched Spaceballs. I watched a part of it as an adult. And I can just tell that there's infinitely more references I'm going to get

and enjoy out of that movie now being older. Do we have to watch the Star Wars that came out before that though to understand the references and stuff? I feel like we might have to. Have you not seen all the Star Wars movies. I don't remember them. There's you've seen them though. You know enough to get spaceballs. Spaceballs are spaceballs. Remember the Titans. I remember like it was yesterday. I don't even need to watch that one. Kazam. Do you remember that?

Sam was a classic Shaquille O'Neal. Yeah. Love Actually. I don't remember that one. Yeah. Oh, who's that guy? Hugh Grant, maybe? Hugh Grant, the guy that went to the T. Swift show in England. Yeah. Who was the fucking man. Yeah. He was pretty good looking. I mean, he still got it for sure. Necessary Roughness. This was, I remember it was a football movie. I couldn't tell you anybody that was in it.

Let me look this up real quick. Necessary roughness. I don't know why I want to say Sinbad was in it. Necessary roughness. Sinbad is in it. That is correct. He is. He is. I don't remember this movie. I was in on every Sinbad movie. I forget half of them though. I forget the titles of them. I know it's when you talk about they like have the race at the end of it. Yes, dude. What movie was that? Sisterhood of the traveling pants. Definitely not watching that one again. This movie does remind

that does remind me of another movie. Blake. Nice. I'm surprised you even. Sorry, Blake. I'm surprised you've even seen that. I haven't seen that. And I don't plan on seeing it. I was out after it said sisterhood. You have an entire household full of sisterhood. And got even more out when it said of the traveling pants. There's multiple things I'm not interested in about this movie and just the title alone.

But this does remind me of what's the movie with Whoopi Goldberg where she's the nun. I was her act sister act. Get this one out of there. We need sister act in there sister act to though. I want sister act to though sister act to is that was more my jam. They brought in I believe kids and it was it was a whole lot

more fun. I feel like I've already rewatched. The Goonies is like so common that you end up rewatching it, right? Yeah. Have you seen the Goonies? Yes, I've seen the Goonies, Jason. Okay, who's the large fellow in Goonies? What's his name?

I don't know. No, not him. Not him. No. Snickers guy? I don't fucking know. Chunk. You're talking about, oh, the guy? You mean the little fucking kid?

Oh my gosh. What? You're talking about a grown ass man. My Best Friend's Wedding? When did you watch all these movies? I'm pretty sure I've seen it. Who's in it? Before I look it up. Uh, I don't know.

I mean... Oh, Julia Roberts. Yep. No, I haven't seen that one either. Yeah, I'm not seen that one either. Yeah, I'm not watching that one again. Parent Trap. Classic.

Yeah, that's a good one. Classic Disney movie. Bridget Jones Diary. No, thank you. No, not actually. Not a big diary guy. Heavyweights. I mean, I watched it yesterday.

I'll watch it again. And then? I have everybody on the team watching Heavyweights. This one is one that mom recommended because we wish to watch it all the time as kids. Oh mom Swiss Family Robinson again one of those that I just would rather not have you rewatched it. No Trav. Yeah, do yourself a favor Yeah, you should go rewatch it You love it? No, it's terrible.

It's not terrible. Okay. It was fucking state of the art. It was the best hottest movie out in 1960 when it came out. When mom was a kid. Go rewatch it. You love watching old 1960s movies though. You're fucking you love that shit. Of course I do. Listen, I, I get like some guilty pleasure

watching it. But it's one of those old ones that puts up the disclaimer at the front end, like, oh, we're about to see some culturally inappropriate material for 2024. It's not funny. We can't laugh at that. It's just full on animal. Like, dude. I'm out. It's animal mistreatment. There's a full on tiger and a dog fighting in one of the scenes and it's a little bit too real. You know what I mean? Like it ain't, I don't care how good you are at acting. They're riding an ostrich or an emu at one of the points. That's full on just riding it. I mean,

I don't think you get away with that these days. No, you can't. So it looks like it's either Spaceballs. We got to pick from these. Kazam. These are the ones I'm thinking right now. Spaceballs, Kazam. Give me your top two. I'll give you my top two and then we'll just go from there. Of these? Of these. I don't, these aren't my favorite that were submitted. These are like Brandon and Jake's. It's not up to you, Jason. This is why they go to One Tree Plus. I mean, I've already watched I watch heavyweights probably once a month. It's the best

movie of all time. I can't really watch heavyweights. It's the best. It's by far the best movie on here. Next is spaceballs. I'll put this spaceballs. I'll put spaceballs up there. It's not really a kid movie, which is kind of the reason we did this. But spaceballs, I feel like we're going to get to the reason we did this. But Spaceballs, I feel like we're going to get way more references being older and watching it. And I haven't watched it in its entirety in a long time. So I'll go Spaceballs. All right. And oh yeah, we said two. Yeah. There's just a lot of chick flicks. We got a lot of Swifties trying to make us watch bad movies. I'll go Spaceballs and can we do Sister Act? It's Sister Act 2. I'm only doing Sister Act 2. How about Naked Guns? Spaceballs and Naked Guns. I can't. I'll go Spaceballs and the Goonies.

I've seen the Goonies and Heavyweights because they're two movies that people watch frequently. All right. I'm going to say, mean it's I guess it's baseballs I was gonna say necessary roughness just I've never seen that movie which should actually That's what I'm saying. Let's throw necessary roughness in there for sure cuz I've never even seen it Yeah, I think I have like after I looked at the thing I was like, maybe I have seen this but I certainly don't remember it or any details It's like some type of college team. Necessary Roughness and I guess, let's go with Spaceballs. Fuck it. You know, Bridger Jones Diary?

I mean, I'll watch it. I don't have a problem with any of these, Jason. I'll watch whatever one. I don't have a problem with them either, but if we put one of these chick flicks on there, it's going to fucking win. Sure, fuck. All right, which chick flick? We gotta do one chick flick and one that we, all right, so necessary. I just, what is Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants about? Like, it's just talking about hand-me-down pants? That's the premise of the movie?

Hand-me-downs? What the fuck do you have against hand-me-downs? I had to fucking get your fucking hand-me-downs. I don't have anything wrong against it, I just don't know what the fuck there needs to be a movie. But why does there need to be a movie about hand me down? Fucking guy, because sometimes it turns into a nice story, Jason. I just accidentally, I just tried to Google Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

I typed in Sisterhood of the Hand Me Downs. You're a dickhead. Did Traveling Pants show up? No. That would have been great. That would have been great. You know what, I'm going to go here. All right, we're going to do this.

We're going gonna do this. We're gonna Wikipedia this. What is Sisterhood? No, Jason, this isn't that. This is not that. Why are you turning it into that? What do you mean? This is just we pick two fucking names and keep it moving and let the 92 percenters do

it. All right, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. God damn it. 2005 American Coming of Age Comedy Drama film directed by Ken Quapus. And I'm sure you reading that just made you think, Oh, yeah, I want to watch this. I don't want to watch this. It gave you absolutely nothing. That's a long plot.

Rotten Tomatoes has an approval rating of 82%. It's high. Must be some good pants. I mean, I'm gonna have to watch this fucking movie now. This is the point of doing. All right, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, it is. Let's go. So I'll watch some pants.

It's going to be great. Twilight, at least Twilight had vampires. There was something exciting. You don't you don't know what this movie has. I know this movie does not have vampires. This is not like fucking dust till dawn. They're not going to be vampires appearing out of nowhere. Who would have fucking thought that Jason needed vampires to watch a fucking movie about women?

I love that. USA, USA. I'm so fucking pumped. So we won the Presidents Cup this weekend. I don't know if everybody saw that, but that was at the press conference afterwards. And sure enough, I mean, you heard it. You got to fight for your right to party, baby. All day, every day. I made sure I gave him a shout out. I shot him a shout of a text on IG just made sure I let him know you better be partying your ass off right now brother. You guys did it. So I was pumped. I was pumped to see him give me a shout out on the on the podium and what a guy

and shout out to the entire president's team and the US the US team. Tony does realize though that he's shouting at the Beastie Boys, not Travis Kelsey, right? Everybody knows that. Me and Tony go, we go way back. That's my guy. Time out. Why have I never gotten the opportunity to hang out with you and Tony? Because Jason, you have to leave the house. We talk about this year in, year out. I don't want to leave the house. You're a golfer now though. You have a golf t-shirt on right now. So you are a golfer. I tell you what, if I swung more like Tony and like didn't take my backswing like John Daly, I would be so better at golf. Dude, he is so just smooth. He doesn't get too crazy with the backswing. He's short on the backswing too. He's got a nice, he doesn't over rotate it, which I always, I'm like, why,

why don't I just do that? Yeah. Big dude, big guy. Six, five, six, six, however tall, toady is man. Do you remember he dislocated his ankle and kept playing? Yeah. Remember that? He's a warrior. Yeah, I do remember that. What is the worst place to drop? You got to fight for your right to party? Um, sobriety. At a, at the, uh, I can't say that at the, at the ICU. Yeah. The DUI checkpoint. Basically anything that has to do with, do with you shouldn't be partying.

After at the end of a depends commercial. After a gambling anonymous convention. I don't fucking know. Gamblers anonymous? Yeah. I kind of want to say like a funeral, but I kind of also feel like it'd't fucking know. Gambling is anonymous. Yeah. I kind of want to say like a funeral, but I kind of also feel like it'd be fucking dope. Oh, you got to celebrate. You got to celebrate that one. That's a great line to drop at a funeral. Depending on how they passed, you know, but you got to celebrate life regardless. Well, if they passed partying.

Might not want to go too hard. This isn't funny, man. What's the worst place to drop it? you got to fight for your right to party? I don't know. I'm just not getting anything else good off the top of my head. A chess championship. When you've been drinking all day and you come home before without giving any text messages to your wife or heads up and you walk through the door.

You got a fight. Wow. Well, Bennett's asleep. It's not going to go over well. A divorce hearing. Well, I probably would be at a divorce hearing if I did that. All right. Let's go. All right. That was fun. That was fun.

That was fun. And for our last fan mention, Dancing Jason is officially everywhere. All over Philadelphia. You got murals and all types of shit popping up in Philly because you were in that South Philly tuxedo. Hey, baby. Up on stage. We got this tweet from 92%er, our light all good with With a mural of Jason in his South Philly tuxedo,

that's right. Oh, so it's not actually painted on, it's just like a piece of paper that he just kinda like glues. Yeah, it's like wall paint, wallpaper. He's like applying wallpaper. Still sweet though. Yeah, I mean, it's dope, it's vandalism.

It's, you know, the city's gonna have to clean it up. It's vandalism. Yeah. You can take that off, it's not vandalism. I it up. It's vandalism. Yes. You can take that off. It's not vandalism. I mean, well listen, vandalism is part of Philadelphia's pastime. I think it's... Jason, don't encourage vandalism.

I'm not anti-vandalism. Don't encourage it though. Don't have people out here trying to fucking vandalize everything. That's how you get the broken glass theory. Did you ever TP a house growing up? No. Did you ever like egg a car? No. Okay. All right, we'll keep it theory. Did you ever TP a house growing up? No. Did you ever like egg a car? No.

Okay. All right. We'll keep it moving. Did you? Of course not. I feel like you definitely did. No. Why are you bringing it up?

I just was curious if you had ever done that. You look like- Whose car did you egg? I didn't egg anybody's car, Jason. Did you egg somebody's body? It just happened to me that a car that eggs only cost like $2.50. Yeah. What'd you do with the eggs? Boiled them.

You boiled them? What else did you do with the eggs? You made hard boiled eggs and then you threw them? That's dangerous. I just kneaded the protein, throw some salt on those things. Oh, you ate them. Yeah. All right. What'd you do with the toilet paper? You got the eggs on the back end? No. I TP'd my friends out. It was somebody that I knew that I'm not about to say who it is. Come on. You got to say lying to their face my entire life saying that it wasn't me.

Oh, but now they're going to watch this. They're going to know it's them. They have no idea. They're going to know. There's no way. There's absolutely no way. See if I can guess. Whose house would Travis teepee? You wouldn't know. It was one of the Catholic school friends. One of the guys on the baseball team? Not baseball.

Hockey? Not hockey either. Yeah, then I'm lost. It's all good though. You hung out with Catholic school guys that weren't on your baseball or hockey team? I mean friends hang out with friends like the Catholic. I would go hang out with the hockey friends and they would have their Catholic school friends and all that.

Yeah. We'd go up to Cortland Oval, play baseball, football, basketball, you know it. It's a little sandlot group. So it's part of the pickup group that played at Fairfax? Cortland Oval baby, right there on Fairmount. Which one's that one? I don't remember that one. You wouldn't know it if you saw it.

It's between Fairmount and, I mean, it's on Fairmount between Warrensville Center Road and Taylor. You would know it if you saw it. Like you're going to Beechwood, but it's like before that? Yeah, exactly. I'm actually surprised you even knew

which general direction I was going. Well, Fairmount's tricky because it curves right around there. It is very straight. It is very straight. No, no, no. Once you get past Lee, it does that little curve like it. Oh, you're talking about going downtown. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Yeah. The beautiful street, though. Shout out to Cleveland Heights, Ohio.

And dancing Jason was also an early Halloween costume. How about that? Oh Halloween's right around the corner brother Yes, sir Hey, hey, I did not do what is about as good as what yours was too. That's pretty on point It is pretty good. Yeah, the beard is hilarious. I mean, she kind of looks like the grinch like dressed up his The beard is hilarious. I mean, she kind of looks like the Grinch dressed up as Jason. The Grinch version of Jason Kelsey?

Yeah, that's pretty good. Shout out to 92%er Ella Buehleberg. The costume, 10 out of 10. The look, 10 out of 10. The dance, 10 out of 10. I think she fucking killed it. Yeah. I give it a, I mean, she's probably better at dancing than I am.

Don't sell yourself short, sweetie You are a star Is this like a sorority? This is a sorority thing nice. I was wondering who does Halloween Before October so they probably are the ones who recommended the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants thing nice They're probably big traveling Pants fans. Way to tie it all together. All right. Well, can't wait to watch it. And that does it for Fan Mentions of the Week brought to you by MetaQuest. Expand your world with the virtual reality.

Now let's get to some football. How about that? All right. Let's talk to football. Let's kick things off with Travis's game. She's 17 Chargers 10. Oh, yeah. How about that?

Too high powered offenses right there. We got to talk about the game. You got any initial thoughts for us? I'll tell you what, man. That stadium is a it's so far. So unique. Yeah. So why is so dope?

And I think it's even cooler during the day. Because you get the day games, you get the sun beaming through kind of like that that plexiglass or whatever that is over the top. And it just, it really light like brings light into that stadium, like no other stadium I've been in, or at least no other dome I've ever been in that places. That place was fun. And it was rocking, man. Yeah, that was the first like Chargers game I had been to in a long time where they're like fan base is starting to really get behind the kid the fuck out of here

You know, there are more chiefs fans there I really we I mean chiefs travel but at the same time like Chargers games are never that packed like yeah It's usually dominant whenever we play them. It's usually a sea of Eagles fans I'm not yeah, and then on top of that it it's not packed to the tee. It's like that game was action-packed. Yeah. That thing was, I mean, it was rocking. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Cool. Obviously, still a lot of things we got to clean up on the offensive side defensively. Man, we are pretty danced out right now. Outside of that first drive for a touchdown and the turnover that led to their field goal,

I think that our defense is the best in the league right now. And I just love Spags and everybody on that defensive side that's playing their tail off both in the run and the pass game. Huge, huge fourth down stops week in, week out. Teams are just trying to dial up plays and kind of steal an extra fourth down conversion on us late in the game and keep control of the game and trying to take the lead. Our defense just keeps coming up big. It happened in the Falcons game. It happened in the Bengals game. It happened in this game. I can't say how much I appreciate these guys and how hard they're working throughout the week to be prepared for these kinds of things. On the offensive side of the ball, man, we got to get rolling. It's not going to be any

easier with seeing Rishi go down during the game. I just love the way that guy was playing the game of football, how he was attacking every single day in practice. You know, sometimes you just root so hard for the guys that do it the right way. And Rashid had been doing that, man. And there was a huge dagger to me when I saw him go down, man. Outside of that, found a way to get the ball in the end zone late, running the hell out of the ball. Our offensive line is our biggest weapon right now. Those guys up front are fucking paving the way. Titans included with Noah Gray, my guy Jay Wiley coming in

and wide receivers doing their job in the run game. Going in there digging out safeties or just making blocks down field. You gotta find a way to win ball games. Sometimes it takes those little things that don't get like kind of the highlight all the time. Wide receivers going in digging out safeties for an extra four or five yards

or just doing enough to get the running back downhill so we can get the first down. And then just running backs, running their tail, I was getting those extra two, three yards on every single run. And I couldn't be happier for Kareem Hunt to come back and have, you know, such a good game on his first game back in Kansas City knowing everything that happened to him back and I think it was 2018 and I just love that guy man

another Northeast Ohio ball player that just loves to play the game and does does it right man. Yeah, absolutely. It was awesome seeing Kareem back out on the field for you guys. Yeah, it was a great game for Korean back out on the field for you guys. Yeah, it was a great game for you. You got another one in the win column. I know you guys are still trying to click things offensively at a more efficient level,

but hey, 4-0 is 4-0. And we did get something going this past week, and that is the Big Yeti. The Big Yeti obviously had notably been struggling a bit through the first three weeks. Well, he finally gets going. I was struggling in terms of stats. I was still playing winning football and that's all that fucking matters. Well, he still led all receivers with seven receptions for 89 yards. First drive of the game was the big 38 yard reception.

Let's check this out. First drive of the game, 38 yard reception. Let's check this out. First drive of the game, 38 yard reception. The big yeti catches it over the shoulder. Beautiful ball by Pat Mahomes. Just throwing dimes. There we go. Anyways, a lot of noise throughout the week. Jim Nance had your back on the broadcast all week,

hot takes, you gotta find something else, someone else to troll this week. I thought Andy said it best when he said, I don't give a damn what anybody says Essentially, what did Andy say? He definitely said something in the press conference afterwards was like, yeah all everything else is noise and I said it on here on the podcast last week everything outside of The building is it's just noise big game. What is the 80? This is what is 89 yards a big game? There's a solid game. Yeah, a big game is like I scored touchdown or something

If you don't go over the hundred yard mark, it's not a big game for the beginning. Just being honest I'm like, yeah, I mean I was accountable this game I didn't have any drops which was you know what happened in Atlanta to make me feel like I had a bad game, but I Still didn't have an outstanding game. There's a there's a lot feel like I had a bad game, but I still didn't have an outstanding game. There's a lot that goes into having a great game, but I did have seven catches, which is a lot of times to get the rock and I got north with them. So it is what it is. Help my team find a way to win. And that is all that will ever matter. For those of you that don't know, Pat Mahomes is 13 and 12. In games, he's trailed by 10

or more points. That's right. What? The only quarterback with a winning record in such situations since at least 1950. Who the fuck was doing it back in 1950? Who's the old gunslinger finding a way to make these comebacks after back when they were running the Wishbone? I didn't even know they had quarterbacks in 1950. He's also 12 and 0 the last 12 times as his... No, no, no, no. Okay, yeah, sorry. Yep. Pat, he's a baseball player. Everybody knows baseball players are superstitious. You can't talk about that. Okay, sorry. My fault, my fault.

Keep moving, keep moving, keep moving, keep moving. Early in the game, Rashid Rice. Oh man, unfortunately injured on an interception return, a little friendly fire. I hate when that happens. The rest of the receivers did step up in Rashid's absence for the game. The most electric play of the game came in the second quarter. Pat connects with Xavier Worthy, the rookie on a 54-yard touchdown. It was now 10-7 going into the half. Per next-gen stats, Pat's 54-yard pass to Xavier Worthy that we're going to show you right here traveled 62.2 yards in the half. Per next gen stats, Pat's 54 yard pass to Xavier Worthy that we're going

to show you right here traveled 62.2 yards in the air. That's right. Mahomes' longest completion by air distance of his career. I didn't know that. I would have thought he would have thrown one that far to Tyree. Nice little throwback. For those of you that don't know what that is, it's when you act like you're nakeding out, you pull up and throw back the direction of which you came. Cause a lot of times on the nakeds or boot action, everybody kind of flows in the direction the quarterback's rolling out to. So these have been kind of hot this year. It feels like the throwbacks have been on everybody's radar.

I think we, uh, we had been running the ball so well these first couple of weeks. I think the safety started getting a had been running the ball so well these first couple weeks. I think the, the safety started getting a little bit more eyes in the backfield and you take your eyes off of Xavier worthy, man. That guy is going to be past you in a blink of an eye. You ain't lying. Yeah. And he was absolutely flying on this one running at a top speed of 21.46 miles per hour, which is that, that'll get you a ticket in school zone. I just want to say the same thing.

That'll get you a speeding ticket. That'll get you pulled over. Third fastest play by a ball carrier this season. I think we saw one last night on Monday night countdown where Derek Henry was rolling, going, I think, closer to 22 miles per hour, which is fucking mind blowing that a man that big can get moving that fucking fast. But oh my goodness.

X was flying on that one, came up big in the later on in the game to seal the game off on the on the final drive, knowing that we were trying to run the clock out there. Just can't say enough about what he's been for this offense so far. And just to see him keep growing in it, you know, becoming more and more accountable every single week. Seems like the rookies finding more and more of his place within the offense. Obviously Rice going down,

he's being thrust into more plays that he was probably getting ready to perform in the game. But he sure answered the bell. Happy for him, man. And if you guys stepped up in Pacheco's absence as well, Kareem hunt back in the KC uniform and had 69 yards on 14 carries. Nice day for Kareem and running back. So Maja P rind came up big with the game winning touchdown.

That's right. In the fourth quarter. It was also his first touchdown as a Kansas City chief. Hey, game winner. And your first touchdown. a Kansas City chief. Hey, game winner and your first touchdown. Shout out to some. I say, man, if you watch this clip, man, you'll see my guy, Trey Smith, just absolutely bulldoze everybody because it comes. It it becomes a bit of like a cloud of dust there for a second down there at the goal line. And then you just see six, five just come in. It just bulldoze, just Zamboni drive some Ajay into the end zone there and give him that extra push.

Alrighty, Chris Jones and the defense another week, another dominating performance by the chiefs defense, who held the charges to 10 points and didn't allow a single point in the last 48 minutes 53 seconds of the game. I'm telling you, the defense finished with five tackles for loss, 10 quarterback hits, and two sacks, both coming from none other than Stone Cold Jones. He didn't need to steal it this week. He got them on his own. That's right.

Stone Cold Jones' biggest play of the game came with four minutes left in the game, third down. Sacks Justin Herbert, forcing the Chargers to punt. 3.26 left to play. I think I remember seeing this. Was he at end on that one? I think so, man. That's the thing about this defense, man. You got so many guys that can rush the quarterback in so many different ways. They can get a guy that typically plays the end and he can get inside and make moves on a guard. And a guy like Chris Jones, who he can literally hurt you anywhere on the field when he's rushing the quarterback and sometimes getting getting the

big man outside and give them just the the edge to rush is is a tackle is worst nightmare, man. You guys did this a bunch. And you brought both of them. This is what I like. So you guys brought we so we call it flash in the game. I saw it brought multiple times, which is what we used to call the will and the free safety with blitz and you'd be a fire zone typically and you would rush five. That's like the conventional way of running like a Wham blitz

with the free safety in the world away from the passing for everybody that doesn't a fire zone blitz is when you blitz Five guys and you play defense or plays zone coverage in the back end with six Yeah, usually it's 3d3 under conventional actually that's probably conventionally now Everybody's doing it and running palms behind it with like quarters Which is your you're protecting the deeper throw and forcing the quarterback to have to think quick on his feet on where he needs to go with the ball underneath. Meaning instead of the deeper routes, you throw it to the shorter routes.

And the reason that that one is getting tricky is like because of what they do right here. They actually only brought four. So they make it look like it's going to be that same five guys rushing, but really they're only going to rush four and play like a conventional coverage behind it. So Herbert gets caught. You can tell. Like he thinks it's there. It's tough. Also, the running back does a terrible job. That's who got Chris the sack, the running back missing that blitzer. Guys are hitting it though, man. This is what happens. They mug the guys up and

they come. So then the running backs like, I gotta be firm in that gap. Then all of a sudden they drop in the safety's blitz and on the other side. And they are flying. And you're late to that one. Yeah. Our guys, when they hit it now. Yeah, they're Xavier worthy in it.

21 miles an hour. Their speed. You ain't lying. Guys are flying in there. Either way, Chris Jones gets a big sack towards the end of the game. It doesn't seem like anybody can block him. I'm not just saying this cause Chris has been good for a while. Chris Jones gets a big sack towards the end of the game. It doesn't seem like anybody can block him.

I'm not just saying this because Chris has been good for a while. Dare I say he might be the most impressive I've ever seen him right now, through the first four weeks. He just feels like anytime he's one on one, he's winning. I don't know. It's been impressive. Yeah, especially if you're not getting the ball out on time. That's for damn sure. Chris is just, he's on the hunt, man. The CEO of SAC Nation, baby. Come on now.

It's Stone Cold Jones. Don't do that voice. Sorry. Well, our guys over at Waves got us some LeBron stats of the game. Sunday's game was the first time a reigning college national championship winning coach faced off against the reigning college national championship winning coach faced off against the reigning Super Bowl winning coach. How about that? Jim Baharball was the national champion at Michigan last year and is the Chargers sixth head coach since I've been in the league, which is crazy. And to be honest, he brought some of his staff

from Michigan, which is a smart move. I mean, you're comfortable with your guys and their defensive coordinator is a coach of mine and Jason's actually. That's right. Actually, his father, I actually, Jesse's dad was a coach with me in Philadelphia, Rick, Rick Mender, Rick. Rick Menter? Really? He was the head coach of Cincinnati

before we got there with Mark D'Antonio. Yeah, back in the day. Anyways, go ahead, sorry. No, so Jesse Menter, and I got to say what's up to him on the field. So when we were at Cincinnati, this is how, this is how you know we're getting fucking on.

I say we're, but. Seriously, what's the guys that were, yeah, how'd you, go ahead, go ahead. So GAs are typically, the graduate assistants at colleges are typically the guys that they do a lot of the, I don't want to say dirty work because that makes it seem like it's not a great job. I mean, that's what it is. They're doing all the work.

You're doing a lot of work. You're putting Excel sheets together. You're putting all the film together. You're basically doing all the tedious stuff so that the offensive and defensive coordinators can be a little bit more focused on the bigger things, right? Well, they want to focus on the tape and they want to focus on the game planning. So the GAs end up doing like basically making all of the scout team cards, they end up inputting a lot of the data into the computers, like all of the backlogging of everything

the GAs are kind of in charge of. Yeah, all the organizational stuff. Yeah. And it's it's really it's a big piece in the in the grand scheme of things when it comes down to it. And Jesse was one of my favorite. I should call him coach Menner now that he's a defensive coordinator in the NFL. But no, he's Jesse does.

He's not our coach. He's Jesse. He was literally holding up the the scout team cards as I was a scout team quarterback my freshman year. That's funny. Which is hilarious. Cause now he's game planning against me in the national football league 15 years later. And yeah, it was awesome to see though, man.

And to be honest, that dude, I mean, he has got shit figured out. Yeah, he's killing it. I mean, I was talking to Pat and there was one time in the game where it was a big third down, I think, and he put together a blitz that we had not seen before on tape and got us pretty good there. But yeah, shout out to Jesse.

He's absolutely killing it. Coach Minner couldn't be more proud to say that I was once your scout team quarterback. And yeah, shout out to Mike Elson. So that was actually halfway through my, my redshirt freshman year, I started working with the tight ends to, to be more in tuned with the offense and they wanted to get me on the field and some of the uptempo stuff, coach Kelly wanted to get me on the field and some of the uptempo stuff, blah, blah, blah. Coach Elson was technically my first ever tight end coach that I ever had. And I'll tell you what, he had a fun room. He was also the

special teams coach and we had a blast talking about a lot of the special teams guys, Christian had a blast talking about a lot of the special teams guys. Yeah. Christian McCafferty and uh, just, just, yeah, sorry. Like Colin McCafferty. And um, yeah, it was just, it was cool to see him and I couldn't be happier for those guys, not only getting the national championship this year, but doing a great job in, in LA with the chargers this year, man. So it was pretty cool playing against that coaching staff. And uh, I got all the respect in the world for Coach Harbaugh as well. Did you talk to Jesse after the game? Yeah, I went up to him and said, what's up to him, man? I said, how about us, huh? 15

years later, look at us. Who would have thought? Who would have thought? Who would have thought? Me fucking up your cards and fucking... Hey, Travis, do this. Oh, I got you. I got you. Oh yeah, I got you. I got you. About to make plays, son. Yeah, go over to the wider steward, tell him to do something completely different

and completely fuck the entire, like I'm not here to make the defense bitter, I'm trying to shine, baby. Hey, these DBs think this route's coming, that's what they're game planning against, is give them this. Yeah. That's 100%.

Oh my gosh. I remember being a scout team. The most annoying thing ever when you're a starter. It's the most annoying thing. Oh my God. It's the best shit ever. I was literally, I remember they didn't tell the D line, don't sack the quarterback. They didn't tell the D line, especially the scout team, the scout team QB, it was like, no, that, that's your job is to like just eat shit for a year like you're there to like be bullied and Man, Adam Hopple used to fucking Adam Hopple great news to like clothesline me So I told so one day I just had enough of it and I was just like I told the

The guard and center that were that he was lining up in front of us like bro. Just let him through They're like what I was just like, I told the, uh, the guard and center that were, that he was lining up in front of us. I bro, just let them through. And they're like, what? I was just like, just do it just one time. Just do it. Did that. I got the snap out of shotgun and I immediately just fuck like dodgeball, just threw it right at him. Fucking speared my shit. Just beat, just like, and after that just gave me a few like elbows to the fucking head. And I was just like, I mean, I deserved it. But fuck you. Yeah.

Just just I had to get at least one lick. Shout out the hop, man. Great, dude. Same thing happened when I was a scout team defense back when I still played middle linebacker. Yeah. We're doing a practice in. They used to let the offensive line cut the scouting guys like they never let anybody's cut, but they would let those guys cutting us a practice. And this is why Dan Tony was great. This is why Tony was great.

So they were cutting guys and we're getting freaking mad. And Dan Tony walked into the huddle. He's like, you're just going to let him cut you guys. You're going to let these guys like do that to you. And I'm like, no, I'm not letting that. So next play, I freaking Bobby Boucher it full on tackled Bradley glass. Of course doesn't see it coming. This like, yeah, because yeah, that's fucking hilarious. God damn it.

Sometimes just got a fucking bow up boys. Even if you know you'll get yelled at or get your ass kicked for it. Got me the scout team player of the year. Defensive player of the year. At a boy we went to Hawaii that year and I was a part of the scout team that got invited to Hawaii. There you go. Got me on the plane maybe. Is this a Lebron stand?

Travis officially passes legendary tight end Tony Gonzalez to become chief's all-time leader in receptions when he caught his 917th career reception. I have news to say, this is not a Lebron stat. That is an all-time stat. Yeah, it's a pretty legit stat. Considering who held the stat previously and what he's meant to the game of football in the tight end position. This is a milestone stat and congratulations Trav. I know you're a humble guy, but that is incredible to see, to be honest with you. When we were watching Tony do it, I don't think anybody felt, and I still feel like most of his records aren't going to be broken. Like untouched.

It's so freaking crazy when you look at his career stats, but to even touch something that he did with the Chiefs is mind blowing in itself. It's crazy how it all comes full circle, man. Not only being in conversations with Tony, but being at the top of the leaderboard with the Kansas City Chiefs who have been around since the 60s have been such an unbelievable organization in the National Football League. Kansas City Chiefs who have been around since the 60s have been such an unbelievable organization in the National Football League, one of the beginning organizations that made it all the way through that are still at their peak.

I love Kansas City and the Chiefs and the opportunity that I've had here in KC. A lot of that is due to the rich history that they have. A guy like Tony Gonzalez, who has been a mentor to me, he's been right there, a lifeline if I ever needed it. I fucking love the guy. He's motivated me in ways that he doesn't even know. And I've tried my entire career to match what he was to this organization, what he was to this game of football and to be in conversations. Not to say that I am as good as Tony, not to say that I've surpassed Tony.

To be in a conversation as cool as this, having as many receptions in the organization that he spent the majority of his career in it's just an honor man and and Tony I love your brother and it's I just I can't thank you enough for who you are as a person and who you've been in my in my career and I've I've taken everything you've learned you've you've taught me and I've ran with it man and I've I've tried to I've tried to become better because of it and yeah, just love that guy man. It's an honor.

Next week, the Chiefs are playing the Saints on Monday Night Football. What? Oh yeah, baby. How about that? I'm coming to town, Trav. You are? Coming to KC.

You guys, you just mentioned you go to Bristol for the back, the double headers you guys have on Monday night football and ESPN. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

For the second week in a row, Jason's shoes stole the spotlight on Monday night countdown. Why is everyone obsessed with my footwear? Because Jason doesn't dress up, Jason dresses as, that's why. What am I dressed as here? I'm just wearing fucking boots. I didn't even know I was going to be shown on television. I don't know. You're dressed as Jason Kelsey.

I guess you had to kick your feet up onto the desk to show the world the Tim's my dog wore some butters on Monday night countdown. Don't get it twisted, man. Everybody knew if you lace those things up a height, you were getting fucking smoked. You were getting clowned as soon as you walked through the door. I have since learned that you can't lace up your butters. You just got to be willing to get fucking smoked.

It was actually a present that you got your legs up there. Those must be some stretchy jeans. These were not. Zero stretch. Nice. Well, you're just a powerful man. Those are good old Wranglers. We also got this shot of you and I need you to explain exactly what was going on.

Your first ever words spoken on ESPN Monday Night Countdown had tits in it and now you are showing your tits essentially on this feature. That's true. That's true. Yeah. So hold on. I mean- You're very tan tense. Yeah. Somebody asked me what complexion this was. I was like, I don't know, guys. I'm just.

He used a bronzer. We were doing a segment on Hutch Island talking about how- Oh yeah, yeah. Hutch is- Yeah. They find out how to get Hutch one-on-ones and build them into overload fronts and different, put them wide so that you can't really chip them and the guard has trouble getting out to help. So, we were doing the island vibe. So Marcus Spears had my ties made, he had hats and sunglasses and then this shirt, I don't know whose idea this shirt was, but it was handed to me and I was just showing off my new shirt.

Nice. That makes sense. I honestly didn't even know what it was when I was holding it up until it was like already at that point. And then I looked down and I was like, oh, OK. All right. Nice. Perfect. The hadn't glasses really made it a full get up. So you were in the flow. Jason dressed as Hutch Island.

Yeah. So fits right in. I love the jacket. I thought this was one of the most entertaining, you know, pregame countdowns that you guys had done to date. You guys spoke about even Tua and the concussion stuff that he had been going through and how was he going to have to weigh that. It was such an educated conversation between the three of you guys and SVP. I just really love everybody's input. Everybody has a very different view of things and you guys are just, I just love the camaraderie you guys got up there, man.

It's cool. It's fun to watch. I appreciate that. We're getting better and better. I think it's, we're on our fourth time doing it together, which is crazy that we're doing this every single week live and you're still figuring out how it all works together. But it's been helpful to me to be on there with guys that have been doing it at a high level for so long, you know what I mean? And know what they're doing.

Like I can lean on Ryan, I can lean on Swag, I can lean on Scott. They're the veterans right now. I'm the freaking scout team player of the year. Ooh, nice, nice. Go ahead and fucking spear your starting left tackle. Yeah, dude, I gotta get Ryan's, I gotta get RC's fucking suit connect, man. Those suits are looking fucking sharp.

Dude, it's ridiculous. I don't even know what it is. They're looking sharp. Only a special guy can make that exact suit, so I gotta get his connect. But what is that style called that he's wearing? You're gonna have to ask our seat, man. I honestly I don't know, but it looks smooth. It looks smooth. That lapel is very different.

It is. It was clean, very clean. All right. Let's talk about the rest of the storylines coming out of the NFL from week four. We're going to start with Eagles go down in Tampa. Do we have to talk about this? We got to talk about this.

Oh, yeah, we're definitely talking about this. We're half Eagles, half Chiefs, man. So bucks 33 33 Eagles 16. Jason, go ahead and tell us your initial thoughts. I never go into a game not expecting the birds to win. I always for some reason and still going into a game think the birds are going to perform well and win the game. That being said, I was nervous going into this game and I was nervous because we were

missing AJ Brown and Devontae Smith and we were going up against a coordinator and Todd Bowles who when you are missing key players can take away certain parts of the game if you're one dimensional. That being said, I was not anticipating us playing so bad on both sides of the football that early. Like we had two, three and outs and before we blinked, it was 21-0 in the first half. You know, I think they both sides just really struggled to start the game. Offensively, there were some drops. The runs that we called didn't really work and we got sacked on one of them and it just

like we got off to a really slow start and then defensively, I just partially credit to Tampa Bay for really seeing stuff on film and taking advantage of some of the soft coverages that I think we had been playing and right off the get-go, you just saw Baker ripping the ball into the flat. We had a missed tackle early from my guy, Avante, and it just felt like we were giving them a lot of yardage. And then after that, it just was like a cascading event. We couldn't stop the run. It felt like we were nervous to go and attack guys. And then it felt like they were just hitting the ball in behind. It just felt like they could do whatever they want. It was, and I think they set it up right from the get-go. They knew that that was there and they hit that and they're like, no, you're going to have to

defend this area. And it felt like we just struggled from there. And part of it's like, listen, Baker played out of his mind. He is playing great fucking football. Like dude, he's playing lights out this year. I know he struggled against Denver last week, but it turns out it looks like Denver is pretty damn good on defense. But I mean, Baker, it just felt like especially to start the game, he could have missed. He was throwing the ball perfectly. My man slays right on the receiver on like a post route and he just puts it in the perfect

spot for a touchdown. He wasn't the dealer. Baker was the freaking pit boss. Like he was controlling the entire thing. It was impressive to watch, to be honest with you. But yeah, we got to play better defensively. I mean, there's no mistake. Like we got to play better on both sides. I don't want to like single out the defensive side. Offensively, there were obviously guys missing. So it's kind of easier to understand why they struggled. Defensively, we got to get that figured out.

Offensively, we at least got to do better than we did. I mean, we had zero yard. I forget what the stat line was. At one point, it was like zero yards to like 250. Like it was something outrageous. At one point in the first half, the Bucs had 255 total yards of offense while the Eagles had zero. I mean, bro.

I don't think I've ever even heard of that. But it happened so fast. Like we did, we had, this is what it was. We had three, three and outs. And before we knew it, like it was like that. It was an insane start to the game. I mean, the most one sided start to a game I've seen in a long time. I mean, you want to talk about an insane stat.

I'm like, it's like becoming more like in in my head the more I think about it. What the fuck? You guys went down 24-0 in the middle of the second quarter and were never able to really get back. But you know how it is. Here's the reality. If you're missing AJ Brown and Devontae Smith, you better be good on first and second down. And on first and second down, we had drops. The runs didn't really hit because Todd was he was bringing corner cat because he didn't like, you're bringing a corner cat into the run and the safety's coming down. It's going to be hard to run the ball into that look.

Yeah. The runs weren't working. The passes we did call, we had a couple of drops. We ran a screen that I think got dropped or didn't work. We got sacked. You can't be in third and long you can't be in third and long against a team like that without your best two players It's just gonna be dang near impossible tough sledding. They were playing cover one They're doing pick stunts with the running backs guy like good luck passing off that stunt

I know everybody in Philadelphia is frustrated. I was frustrated watching it. I Damn sure know the guys out there were frustrated. Yeah, and pissed. Yep. And one of their biggest leaders, Brandon Graham actually called a team meeting on the sideline and I mean, we don't got to talk about it. Everybody knows BG is the heart of that team.

He's a hard. So he's a guy that's been there for fucking years. BG is still playing at a very high level. Hell yeah. He shouldn't even be playing the amount of snaps he's playing with where he's at in his career probably. He's doing anything he fucking can to get this team to win. Yeah, he has to and he knows that and he's it's early.

It's four weeks into the year. I still think they have talent to improve. They have fucking talent. Hell yeah, they fucking have talent. I still think they have a talent to improve things. They have fucking talent. Hell, yeah, they fucking have talent. I still think they have a talent to improve things. Vic's been in this league for a long time. He's going to be on these guys to get these things fixed figured out. I know Nick is going to be on both sides of the ball.

And, you know, I know everybody's on Jalen. Obviously Jalen didn't play well, but it doesn't sound like anybody really played that great. But that's what I'm doesn't sound like anybody really played that great, but that's what I'm saying. I don't want to single out him. They often struggled and they often struggled a lot because of the guys that were out and because they weren't like when they were good on first second down, they had a couple good drives, but like once they got into those long situations, like it's, it's just going to be hard if you don't have the horses. Yes, it is about AJ and Devante being like physical freaks of nature

and great receivers. It's also just about like chemistry and timing and having reps with guys. Like that's what it's more about. We just got Jahan Dotson. Like he has only been here for like a few weeks. So like it's just frustrating to watch and it's, it's, it's hard to execute in those situations. There's no magic formula to fix it other than you just got to go to work and be willing to, to be your own worst critic, to not make it a single fucking excuse and you know, just go out there and find a way and have a mentality together, Find a way to have everybody on the same fucking page that you guys are going to get this thing done. I think this is going to be a motivating tool for the guys in that building because everybody gives a fuck. There's not too many

non-competitors in that building. So I expect everybody to figure it out, man. So shout out to the birds. But the LeBron stat of the game, Jalen hurts has 43 a career regular season rushing touchdowns tied with Steve Young for the third most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in NFL history. Only cam Newton's 75. Holy shit. And Josh Allen have more. Josh Allen already has more. Oh my God. I think I actually remember hearing that he fucking surpassed him last week or two weeks ago week five next week The Eagles are on a bye Then they come back week six at home versus the Browns. How about that?

you hate to go into a bye after a game like that, but Who knows maybe it'll be a nice little fresh start for everybody to come back motivated and ready to fucking rock The Eagles next four games are against teams with a combined three and 13 record. Yeah, don't sleep on that. Absolutely means to not sleep on that. The bangles means nothing. The bangles are the fucking bangles. Every game that they've been in, they've been damn near winning them. The Jags, the Jags have some guys.

They had the rough game against Buffalo that I saw on Monday night. I expected them to put up a better performance and they put a goose egg up on me. But they still got some, they've been close. They should have won. I mean, CJ got it done at the end of the game, but they're right there against Houston last week. The Giants, like they're not great, but they're in all these games. I don't know if we even have the Giants Cowboys Thursday night. That was the weirdest freaking division game I've ever seen watching. It was like neither team really was like fighting to win. Did you feel that way? Did you watch it? I watched it, but I was more interested in the pregame and halftime

talk just because I love those guys. You love Big Whit and Fitzy and all those guys. Tony, you know, it. Yeah. Arissa, they're outside of you guys. They're my favorite. Yeah, they're they're fantastic. But I like it just felt like nobody was like taking the game. It felt like both teams are like kind of playing conservative and just hoping the other team messed up.

Yeah. And then like nobody messed up. So it was just like this weird game where like nobody played good or bad. It was very strange. Yeah, it was eerie. The Browns game. Yeah, the Browns are playing bad right now.

But they got Jim Schwartz. Honestly, they were a call here and there away from winning last week against the Raiders. All righty, week four round up. Let's talk about all the big headlines from the rest of the league. Three undefeated teams lost this week. There's only two undefeated teams left. I think you know one of them. The other one that is still undefeated are the Minnesota Vikings.

The three undefeated teams that lost this week are the Steelers, Seahawks and Bills. I didn't, I mean, we got to talk about the Bills Ravens game. I did not see the Bills struggling this much. I mean, the Ravens are a tough matchup for them. I think they're a tough matchup for anybody if freaking Derek Henry's rushing like that. The big man, the King himself had 199 yards rushing, one one rushing touchdown a receiving touchdown. Don't see that every day from the big man. One of those touchdowns came off of an 87 yard run in which he reached over 21 miles an hour. That's right.

He was speeding in the school zone. The Ravens won this game 35 to 10 against a Buffalo Bills team that looked pretty much unbeatable the week before against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was an amazing show of feet by the Ravens who seemed to be finally figuring out this new piece they got at running back with Derrick Henry combined with Lamar Jackson and the rest of the other fast guys they got on on the perimeter. It feels like they do so much misdirection but still managed to play with insane speed.

Tough football, yeah. The last undefeated team that took their L was the Steelers. Yep, the mighty, mighty Steelers. That defense has been so good, but they struggled early against the Indianapolis Colts getting out to a slow start. The Colts, they start out 14 or 17-0. I can't remember whether it was a 17-0 lead 14 or 17, nothing. I can't remember where there's, it was a 17, nothing lead or is a 14, nothing. I couldn't tell you. All I know is that Joe

Flacco came in there at 39 years old and played his tail off again. He did. Anthony Richard was playing pretty well too. He got him the first touchdown and then worked them down in the red zone. Flacco finished that one off to make it 14 and then Joe did the rest. I will say Fields and the Steelers and company, once they figured it out, were humming, but it was a little too late. Still a good football team though. Steelers are a good football team. So are the Colts. Colts got a really good defense and it's been that way.

I don't know what Anthony Richardson's injury status is, but Joe Flacco has proven that he is still an unbelievable quarterback, especially after last season's Browns End of the season that he finished off with that playoff run after the game Flacco was told by a reporter that Anthony Richardson thought he was cooler than he expected him to be and Flacco's response was Anthony Richardson's mom is eight days older than I am. So there's no chance in the world He thinks I'm cool. And I'm here to say, Flacco comments like that are exactly why Anthony Richardson

thinks you're cool. Three rookie quarterbacks led their teams to wins in week four. I don't know that you would call Bo Nix's week an outstanding week from him. 10 to nine is a wild ass fucking NFL game. Jets, Jake, we got to bring Jets, Jake in. I'm pretty sure he had negative of offense or something like that. Think about this before that at halftime, I think he had negative seven yards on seven on six receptions

or some shit like that. I don't think I've ever seen that many receptions and somebody have negative yards I'm not going to bone X bad or anything like that I'm just saying that is a wild stat to fucking look at at halftime We can go into another wild stat here and it is the rookie phenom. That's right. Phenom Jaden Daniels This dude is unbelievable man He is fun to watch the stat in particular that everyone seems to be bringing up is the 82.1% Completion that's do four games ladies and gentlemen. It's the number one all-time through four games

It might be a Lebron stamp, but that is a damn good Lebron's that There's one you can hang your hat on that's the one right there and it's what's been unique is the first game for sure right there. And it's what's been unique is the first game for sure. It was all dinking and Duncan and the ball was out quick and he's still getting that ball out quick. He's got a quick trigger. Yeah. But now you're seeing, and part of it might be defenses have seen that and they're it's forced them to defend. Reacting to it. Yeah. You're seeing him take the shots down the field. You're seeing him make the big throws, uh, to McClure and then down.

Yeah. I was going to say into his receivers credit, they're making these fucking plays, throws to McClure and then down. Yeah, I was gonna say into his receivers credit, they're making these fucking plays, man. They are making big time plays. Zach, Zach Ertz, baby, Zach, they're making fucking plays, baby. Just talking to my boy. They listen, they are having fun right now. These last two weeks have been a coming out party for this offense. Cliff Kingsbury has unrolling Jaden Daniels. Man, I don't know if he's going to be the next CJ Stroud, the next Pat Mahomes. But there's something I like about it. There's something I like about watching it. Like, there's a poise. There's a there's a personality.

There's an excitement. Like, he's confident. I, man, I love watching him play. You use one of my favorite words on Monday night countdown. His moxie. Yeah. Fucking moxie. He's just got it. What does Andy call it? I don't know.

Doesn't he call it like vibrato or what's, uh, uh, oh my gosh, he's called, he says it instead of swagger. He uses another term and it's like an old school term or he did him Philly. I have no idea. I've never heard him say any of those words either way though, man The guy he's got the moxie man and he's got the bull by the horns over there cliff kingsbury Dialing the shit up against his team. Yeah, you could tell they were they were taking some good shots I'm happy as hell for my my two guys man

I missed the hell out of these two guys, Nikki Allegretti and Andrew Wiley, two of my favorite teammates of all time. And you heard Andrew say he's having one of the most fun years of his life playing for that team. And sometimes the excitement, and that's not to take away from anything that we did here in KC, the excitement of everybody not necessarily counting you in,

maybe not counting you out, but not counting you in and to be able to date week in week out, you know, I don't know, answer that test and do it in a way that they're doing it, man. It looks like they're having fucking fun over there in Washington right now, hitting on all cylinders, man. And I just couldn't be happier for those two guys. For sure. And on top of that, Cliff Kingsbury, who I know through old Patty Mahomes, man. Yeah. Jaden Daniels is taking the NFL by storm right now, and hopefully we get to keep watching that because it's exciting to watch, especially when a young guy and a team are dominating like that. Oh, yeah. And the last rookie quarterback to get a win column this week was Kayla Williams, where the Bears got their second win of the season.

He clearly played his best game so far. Hopefully he can keep on getting that thing moving over there in Chicago. I think everybody's ready for a Chicago Bears football team to be damn good. No fun league. This week, we saw another flag for a celebration that really put the no fun league into perspective. Jets wide receiver, Alan Lazard, celebrated a 12 yard reception for first down

with finger guns. Pew pew, pew pew pew. I know we don't want this to be like, oh, NFL players shooting guns and all. I get that, but unless, this is so subtle, unless you're like doing it at a defender, it shouldn't be a flag. If you wanna find the guy after the game for doing it at a defender, it shouldn't be a flag. If you want to find the guy after

the game for doing it, all whatever, that's up to the NFL for wanting to protect their league. But I think it is absolutely ridiculous that a guy is on the ground shooting, pointing fingers for getting a first down saying we're going that way or whatever he might be doing. I just think it's too much man. It's too much and it's affecting the it's affecting the game in the wrong way. I get the guys got to play by the rules and stuff like that. But I just I don't want to get the NFL on my ass for saying something, but I just think this is too far.

No, you're right. It's my Second Amendment. I have the right to bear arms. You don't have the right to shoot at people though, which is why they should make it taunting if you direct it at a player, an official, a fan, like if it directed at somebody, like if it is done to like do anything to a person, I agree it should be taunting. But if you're just doing it like, ha, I'm shooting guns up in the sky. What the hell are we doing? How is that taunting? If the league doesn't want to just find them afterwards, don't make it a part of the game

where it like affects the team. I think it's a little too much for that. They've done this to like overcompensate like people pointing at people and like, or like to be like, I don't know. It's stupid. It's dumb. It's dumb that this cost them 15 yards. There was nothing about this that was remotely. Violent. Is playful. Look at him. Okay.

He's probably making pew, pew, pew sounds as he does. Pew, pew, pew. Pew, pew, pew, pew. What is that? Kevin Hart? Yeah. Earlier this season, Bangles wide receiver Andre Yoshivas was also fine for a bow and arrow.

Yeah, we talked about this one already. Listen, Trav, you've been the king of bow and arrows. I don't do it during the game. I think it's well, you've you have done it before. You don't do it anymore during the game. No, you've seen you do it as a celebration before when it was in a penalty. Yeah. Right. I think it was like 2016 or something like that. They made a flag. I always thought that was bogus, but I haven't done it in the field of play during the

game. I've done it as I come out of the tunnel and stuff, but- Does it feel like the league is cracking down on celebrations? No, they've kind of already had these rules. I mean, the weaponry celebrations. No, they've kind of already had these rules. I mean, the gun, the like weaponry rule has been in place since what, like 2016 or something like that or 2019, whenever it went into place. It's not a new rule. It's just like people are seeing them and seeing how absurd it is. Especially when it's not like there was a guy that did like a full on AK 47 at a guy like that one I get.'s not let a guy a K 47 another player But like little pew pews or like a bow and arrow up in the sky that aren't directed to people I think we can let that slide like what happens if you do a slingshot is a slingshot allow I don't know. I might try it. I might try that one see if I get fucking 15 yard penalty

What about you can you can still do a sword? You can come out and do like a little Zoro yeah, that's allowed right Azura. What kind of weapons aren't allowed? you can still do a sword, you can come out and do like a little... Azoro? Azoro? Yeah, that's allowed, right? Azoro? What kind of weapons aren't allowed, NFL? I know I... Anything can be a weapon. I had to appeal a fine for giving a teammate of mine a Stone Cold Stunner.

Did the teammates submit a complaint to HR? No, it was just after a touchdown and the NFL saw it and said I was a violent act. But the teammate was in on it? Yeah. Tell you what, I stone cold stuttered a friend in a bar and he was not in on it and he was upset about it. I thought it was like electric. You are fucking ridiculous though.

You will break somebody's fucking back, stuttering somebody. There's no like in between. You either go full throttle. I'm not half in. Listen, I'm going straight kick to the nuts getting hunched over Exposed for breaking this guy's neck who had an electric move This don't hold stunner himself Steve Alston the rattlesnake. What's another weapon that we could tow the line with here? What's a what's a I think slingshot slingshot and sword?

Could you set up like a catapult system and catapult the football into the crowd? No, I don't think that'll hit. I mean, if it goes into the crowd, it's probably gonna be what's another Chucks. Chucks would be pretty funny. Could you act like you put your head in a guillotine and just like, Oh my gosh. That's crazy. Throwing star?

I don't think people would get the gist. Nunchucks. Could you do little Michelangelo? Michelangelo? You didn't go Bruce Lee when Michelangelo? I'm on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, baby. I'm going, who's this Bruce Lee cat? You wore him on your shirt one day.

I love Bruce Lee. I'm just fucking, but I don't, Bruce Lee, I don't think of Nunchucks. I think of Michelangelo when I think of Nunchucks. When I think of Nunchucks, I think of Bruce Lee playing ping pong with Nunchucks. He played, I don't remember that clip. That's awesome. I think it's CGI, but I believe it. It probably is.

Who cares? They had CGI back then? No, that's why it makes it, gave them more like kind of like, really? All right, let's get out of it. What if you, what if you did a poisoned chalice? You took a drink from the poison chalice. I think we're just, I think we're, I think we're done with this. Ooh, blow dart. Ace Ventura. Spear. That was javelin. It wasn't spear, it was javelin.

And now for a new addition to round up the week, we got coach quote of the week. I've been waiting to do this ever since I sat down with Nick Saban at ESPN event. Sometimes coaches just say it best. Trav hit me during the post post game press conference. Falcons head coach Raheem Morris was asked about Titan Kyle Pitts not getting any catches in the game this week.

And Morris responded, it was just about going out there and winning the game. Stats are for losers, man. I don't get involved in that stuff. Are stats officially for losers? I don't think they're for losers. I think when you're getting good stats, you're helping your team win. And when you do it at a consistent level and you're scoring touchdowns and you're winning football games, they do matter. But I hear what he's saying though. And it's a part of my philosophy and not being upset that I'm not getting Buku stats this year is that it's about winning the football game. And he's focused on wins and losses.

And speaking of stats, we got a pretty crazy one from that game. Falcons beat the Saints 26-24 on Sunday, and the Saints became the first team to score at least 24 points, allow no offensive touchdowns, and lose in 40 years. Allow no defensive touchdowns? Allow no offensive touchdowns and lose in 40 years allow no defensive touchdowns Allow no offensive touchdowns. Oh like no like pick sixes or anything. No, what does that mean?

They didn't allow the other team to score a touchdown How'd they get all their points a defensive touchdown? Maybe special teams feel goals. Yeah That's a fat is fucking outrageous. Isn't that crazy? Listen, this is my viewpoint on stats. Talk to me. Stats are numbers. What I care about is the football. Where does it go?

Does it go in the end zone? Do we get points? Points are also numbers, but points determine games and wins and losses. Stats are numbers. Numbers are nerds, nerds are losers, therefore stats are losers. If you care enough about stats for it to change your day, I think that's when you have a,

you don't have a winning mentality. So I get what Coach Morris is saying, but at the same time, if you're putting the ball in the end zone, you're gonna get stats. It is what it is. Yeah, but you're not counting the stats, you're just in the end zone, you're gonna get stats. It is what it is. Yeah, but you're not counting the stats, you're just counting the points.

You're not counting the stats. All we care about is visually, does that ball go into that territory right there? We get points. Does that ball go through those uprights? When we're on defense, does the ball go that way or does it stay where it's at? That's what I care about.

I don't care about the numbers. You're right, but at the same time. Numbers are for the analytics people. When you get the ball in's the numbers. You're right. But at the same time, numbers are for the analytics people. When you get the ball in the end, the putters, when you're getting the ball, the zit faces, when you're getting the ball in the end zone, you're getting the stats and the four eyes is what it is. I will say this. Kyle Pitts is a fucking unbelievable athlete. Great football player. I think trying to get the ball in his hands is a pretty good, pretty good plan for the for the Falcons. Yeah. And also, they should probably get his stats up because he's a really good weapon.

That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. And he's one of their better, you know, he's just he's just he's an unbelievable like athlete out there on the field. I think he has a lot of mismatches. Kyle Pitts has some catches. They actually do score an offensive touchdown. That's another way to look at it. See? There we go. Before we get out of here, let's wrap up the show with no dumb questions because there's no such thing as dumb questions.

92% are just dumb ass people answering them. Hey! No Dumb Questions is brought to you by the powerful backing of American Express. Oh my gosh. We are an American Express ad now? How about that? This is the coolest shit ever. Name your favorite American Express ad. My favorite American Express ad?

Yeah, your favorite commercial ever recorded. Don't leave home without it, like the old school one. Don't steal home without it. Come on, it's right there, Jason. That's not my favorite one, but that is a good one. You know what I'm talking about? Yes. The it's from major league. Yeah. And it's it is a great one. That was why can't I think of his name right now? Wesley Snipes. Yeah. But it's what's his name in the movie.

Willie Mays Hayes. Willie Mays Hayes gets like Mays hit like Hayes. That's not it's not a real one, but it is a great one. Oh, it's so good. Actually, was it real? Did American Express pay money to be in that movie? That's what I'm saying. Genius, American Express. Yeah, it's back when it might have been back when you didn't

have to fucking. Yeah, I don't know how that works. All I know is that. That's classic. But either way. All right. Shout out to American Express. What is a favorite piece of football sports memorabilia

that you guys own? I can't tell you exactly what I own because then somebody would rob my house for it. But I got some good shit. I got some good shit and I'm very proud of it. One of the coolest items that I have that I've actually, I've had right here on my desk since Jason got it for me.

Don't say that one, don't say that one. Is a Babe Ruth, Baby Ruth, grade nine, which is out of 10, it's a pretty god damn good grade. Yeah, it's got a Baby Ruth signature baseball right here from back in the day, and it looks like it's got a few other people on it too, but I'm not going to. Who's Henry Williams? Yeah, this is, uh, this is pretty fucking good. Who's that on the bottom? Bob fella. Who's Bob feller. Legendary Cleveland Indian baby. Oh yeah. I mean, this is the coolest thing that I've ever gotten from Jason for sure.

See if I can see if I can go out of competition there. Yeah. I might go play catch with it or something. Play a San La San La baseball. Pick up baseball. What is it about a baseball? Sign baseball is the best. It's our, it's our childhood, man. I don't know why it's just like ingrained in my head. Did you, did you ever get anybody to sign a baseball when you were younger? Like the satisfaction of it? I went and waited in the Cleveland Indians parking lot. I mean, we did that after every fucking game. One time, I believe I did get a Kenny Lofton autograph on the third base line. I was sitting there with, I think I'm remembering this right, because the sailors had third

base season tickets and I got to go with them one time and they would come right by his section every warm up and he would sign some autographs. Shout out to Kenny Lofton, man. I've been fortunate enough to say what's up to him and be cool with him. He's just been the absolute best knowing that we were 90s Cleveland kids and just thought the fucking world and still do man. But Kenny, I still got to I still got to come out and play some golf with you. Jason will probably join now that he's a golfer. So we'll have to put a round together. I did the exact same thing. I got Kenny Lofton and

Davis David Justice at a 1997 MLB All-Star game. You got them at that game. Yeah. Dad took me down there. I remember when you got to go down with that. We had two tickets. You guys had fun. That's great. Yeah. You went the year before. Not that the All-Star game we never there wasn't like an All-Star game every year in Cleveland, Travis. You didn't even like baseball though. Dead knew I would fucking appreciate it more and I would remember it more. And I did. And one of the coolest things I got was a picture of Kenny Lofton in a Atlanta Braves Jersey and hat because 1997 we traded them right before the deadline to

get, I believe David justice. If David Justice, if I'm not mistaken. I don't remember who we got, but that sounds right, I guess. I forget exactly who we traded for. Oh no, Marquise Grissom was a part of that one. Fun times. Shout out to Kenny. My favorite piece of sports memorabilia is actually very timely because this person just passed away Monday night while I was doing Monday night countdown, which made it hit extra hard. Well, at least that's when the news broke. Pete Rose, I have a signed baseball by Pete Rose.

Charlie Hussle himself, man. And I don't know, I've just always been a huge Pete fan. Obviously, he had his demons, but the way he played the game and carried himself. And I think also like dad just loved him. So that made me love him a little bit more. So I love that piece of memorabilia that will probably mean more now that there won't be any more of them made. I've had a lot of people run into Pete before he passed and they just had the world. They just said great things about him. Either way, RIP to the big guy and that is a very, very cool piece of memorabilia that you got. What else you got? You got anything else?

I also have some boxes of football cards that are from Tom Brady's rookie year. I brought this up on an earlier show that I really want to open. I still haven't opened them, but I think it would be cool to open those. Maybe that can be, maybe not bonus content. I don't know. I think it'd be fun. Open them and see if there's a Tom Brady rookie card inside. Dude, I'd be at the edge of my seat looking at that fucking you opening those. Can you imagine we open one of them, we pull a freaking Tom Brady rookie card? I want to know who else is in that draft class. fucking you opening those. Can you imagine we open one of them, we pull a freaking Tom Brady rookie card?

I wanna know who else is in that draft class. I know that Tom's the big ticket item, let's look. Tom's the big ticket because he was the last big draft? No, he's the big ticket because that's the one that's going for millions of dollars signed and like delivered. What was Tom's rookie year? 01.

2000 draft. Courtney Brown, Cleveland Brown. Heyo. 2000 NFL draft. LeVar Arrington. Chris Samuels. Peter Warg, Jamal Lewis. Corey Simmons.

Corey Simon. Corey Simmons. I should know him from the Philadelphia Eagles. I feel like there's a better way to go about this. Brian Erlacher. It's a huge Erlacher. I'll go crazy if I get an Erlacher card because I'll go for Brian Erlacher. You were a white linebacker. That's why. I was trying to be. I wasn't, I mean, the only thing we didn't have in common was that he was way more athletic and I had more hair.

Had. Had. Yeah, I'm really hoping for that time, Brady, after looking at some of these names. All right. Well, that does it for No Dumb Questions brought to you by the powerful backing of American Express. That's right. Don't steal home without it. And that wraps up another episode of New Heights.
