Well, then let's get down to...
Well done.
You got a great voice for it.
I don't have a great voice for like modern music,
but if you want to throw me in a fucking Disney movie,
I could fucking rock.
You're basically a Disney prince.
Yay.
What is it?
Let's get down to business.
To Hoopodcast.
Oh, okay.
I was like, where are you going with this?
Bring your sons and daughters.
Okay.
Don't repeat the language.
Nice.
Broadcaster.
Welcome back to New Heights, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we've missed you.
Yeah.
Over here on New Heights, a Wondry Show brought you by NFL Sunday ticket on YouTube TV.
Football is back.
Yeah.
Ah, God, man.
I've been at training camp for three weeks, four weeks.
Gosh, I can't even count how long it's been.
And it's good to see you guys.
And we're excited to get this thing rolling for season five, six.
How many years have we been doing this?
Apparently, this is the fifth.
And we're your host here at New Heights.
That's right.
Jason Kelsey, my big brother, and I'm Travis Kelsey, his little brother.
Subscribe on YouTube, wherever you get your podcast.
And follow the show on all social media at New Heights Show with OneS for fun clips throughout the week.
I'm sure we'll have a bunch of those this week.
Haven't talked to Jason forever.
Jason, tell the people what we got coming up.
90% as we are fucking back in season five.
We're going to recap all we've been in this off season.
We're going to get into everything from training camps.
We've also got Aaron Donald.
He's back.
Shit.
And Travis also, I don't know if you got into anything this off season we want to mention.
But if you do, now would be the time.
We're getting into just a little bit of that.
New news.
New news.
Our first bit of new news, though,
arguably the most important bit of new news.
that we have. Jason has been selected for the Cincinnati Athletics 50th anniversary
Hall of Fame class. That's right. Jason's a Hall of Famer.
Let's go cats. How does it feel to be in the Hall of Fame, Jason? This is your second
Hall of Fame that you've been inducted in, correct? Well, Cleveland Heights. I'm trying to think,
have I been in another one? Are you in another one? Ohio Music Hall of Fame? Are you in that
one? No, not in that one. Are you in the Ohio swim cadets? No.
No, not in that one.
I don't think that one is this yet.
Well, either way, how does it feel?
It feels like Cincinnati wants some money.
And time out.
Time out.
Let's take that.
Let's rewind that back.
Keep it PG for our listeners.
I mean, listen, that was a two-time all Big East.
Come on now, baby.
Big East.
Back with the Big East.
Second team.
No, you were first team.
I was not.
I was the second team all conference twice, and I'm in the Hall of Fame.
So I does feel like a bit of this has been from my post career at Cincinnati.
100%.
It's an incredible honor.
I'm going in with our former college teammate, my former pro teammate.
Connor Barwin is also going to the Hall of Fame.
CB, congrats.
Do you know the third member going in this year?
Oh, I do know.
I do know who it is.
The old ball coach.
That's right.
Bob Huggins.
Big Huggie fans.
Huggy bear is going in.
Coach hugs, congrats, man.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
So part of an awesome class, obviously incredibly honored that Cincinnati would
adorn me with this honor into the Hall of Fame class.
But, you know, again, it feels a little odd knowing that I was a walk-on like two-time
conference second team selection.
But we did have a lot of success.
It was a fun time.
I love Cincinnati.
I still love going back.
We're going back to a game this week, actually.
Connor, me, and Brent Selleck, we're going to roll down.
So looking forward to that.
Yeah, they got Boston College, baby.
Let's go, man.
Let's go.
Let's start off the year on the right foot, baby.
Let's go.
Yeah.
So back to you getting into the Hall of Fame, though, man.
I hear what you're saying.
But at the same time, man, your football career, it deserves.
I'm a representative of the university.
Exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
It doesn't just, it's not one little.
And it was.
As much as you loved being there and you love talking about being there and you are,
you are in a big way, an advocate for the university, I think a lot of that is by all means
a part of this. And I think, I think you know, you saying that, you know, you went there,
you loved it there, you grew there, you became an even better football player there,
and then you went on to do unbelievable things that a lot of centers in the entire world
that I've ever played this game, I've never done.
I think that has a lot to do with you getting this acknowledgement.
I appreciate it, Travis. Thank you.
Very honored to be there.
Can't wait to go back to Cincinnati.
I love being there.
Can't wait to watch the Bearcats.
Come on, baby.
Get up old Nippert Stadium, man, sitting one of those nice high-rise suites they got there, man.
Ooh, there are some sweet seats right above the tunnel that the cats walk out on now.
I saw them selling those tickets.
Those things look sweet, man.
The best seat I ever had was in the studio.
section at the basketball game that was you got that sounds like you got to find your way over to
the student section baby i mean listen see the band come flying down those steps in the beginning i got a pretty
i got a pretty iconic photo from like one of my first couple years out in the student section cheering on the
uc basketball team john kill patrick yeah yeah yeah yeah do we want to look at these college photos
yeah let's go let's go let's go ahead throw throw out those college photos i think that cincinnati posted right
gosh looking at old photos especially the college years man i got some fucking gnarly photos
holy shit jason you won the heisman i did oh oh what a ball player man man dude you got to bring
back the stash man i so i just hate the way my face looks without a beard just cannot no way
yeah no chance you're a handsome young man jason look at that dude right there i'll tell you
That's a Mike linebacker right there.
That was when I was still linebacker for sure.
That's a man filling the A-Gap, baby.
Let's go.
Oh, look at John Goebel.
Johnny Goves, baby.
Pit Sweat is.
Look at it.
This guy's had a mic in his hand.
His entire life.
He was made for this.
Who the fuck is that guy?
Oh, trendy.
Oh, what is this?
Oh, man, new heights in the beginning.
Is this the beginning of New Heights?
Oh, Camp Higher Ground.
That's all right.
Camp higher ground.
You probably were a freshman that year.
Mm,
winning the keg of nails against Louisville.
Louisville, yeah.
Yeah, baby.
Look at that, man.
The one at the bottom is hilarious, man.
That is Travis's senior night.
So I would have been my second year.
I got a tour in ACL.
Well, I'm a freshman prepared ACL at that point.
That a boy.
A little Derek Wolfie in the picture.
Goves.
A little shot of Gobs.
How about it, man.
It's a very random photo to include.
Yep.
Not my finest.
Not my finest.
Interesting.
Interesting angle. Interesting shot.
Oh, yeah. This is, this is what Jason's teammates remember, being at the fucking front of the fight, the commander in chief, always leading everybody into battle, baby.
Is that what I look like when I'm yelling? Is that how it always looks?
You don't really see it as that because it happens so fast, but I think when, I think that is you in the flesh. That's not AI.
Yeah.
Okay. Perfect. That was back when I used to just take a, like, I would just take my razor and that's how I trim my eyebrows.
I would just go straight across my eyebrows.
So they ended up being super thin and not having any shape.
I would go right here.
Oh, my God, dude.
I would go right here.
And then I would,
and then I would razor across the top of it.
That's a pretty good line.
If you didn't say that,
I would have never guessed.
But they are definitely way thinner than what they are now.
Oh, yeah.
That's funny as hell.
Man,
the college is so funny, man.
I remember one year I actually tried to shave my chest in college.
And then it grew back.
so fast that I tried to wax it after that.
And I showed up like 50 year old virgin where it's like bloody and patchy and I have scabs
on my chest.
Yeah, right.
So I just gave up on that whole idea real quick in about two weeks.
I was like, yeah, I'll probably never do that again.
Gosh, college.
Just trying to figure things out, man.
Well, now that we've been able to embarrass me through a bunch of photos,
let's embarrass Travis.
Travis made his debut as a global ambassador for Tommy Hill figure.
And embarrass me.
I mean, you look a lot better than I do.
I love what you're doing with your elbow.
Do when you take a photo, are they telling you to put your elbow like that?
Sometimes you'll get so.
Listen, photographers, they have some good direction, you know.
I always think of the scene in Austin Powers.
It's like, no, I need a tiger.
I need a, you know what I mean?
He's like, yes, yes, no, no, no, yes.
But yeah, I don't remember whether I did this or not, but it is a bit, it is a bit,
chippin daily for sure it looks good i mean you're definitely like suggestive a little bit with that right
hand but it's a good photo it's a good photo uh oh there's more okay there we go there we oh
i didn't know that wendy was was out of the bag yes wendy is that's been released
she is officially a picture dog that's a great picture we got to get it
We got to get her the line and her size.
Unfortunately, she's just got her fur on right now.
So we've got to work with Tommy on getting her some good clothes.
No, it was fun.
You know, we were going to use a dog in the shoot.
And the entire team was mentioning, you know, we were going to use a dog.
And am I okay with dogs?
I'm like, I have a dog.
I'm like, oh, you want to bring your dog in?
I'm just like, let me talk it over with my fiancee at the time.
Let me talk it over with Tay.
and figure out, you know, what's the best way to go about this?
And she was all for it.
And it's kind of crazy how perfect she looks in a Tommy Hill figure world.
You know what I mean?
Like she matches the brand and the shoot.
And it was pretty easy to get her to jump on the couch and have some fun with us.
So, but yeah, Wendy's, Wendy's now a model.
Yep.
She's a model dog.
She looks great.
She's killing it.
A little old Wendy's a little over a year old now.
Yep.
We've had her for quite a while.
try to keep it under wraps.
Got sniped.
He got sniped at the airport.
Well, it doesn't, it also doesn't want to do a Tommy Hill-figure shoot with her.
But yeah.
Yeah, good call.
Good call.
Speaking of other things out of the bag, we do have probably the most interesting bit of
the off-season that happened to both of us, but certainly to you, is that you're finally
married.
We have not done a podcast.
That's right.
Since you are husband and wife.
I'm a married man.
I'm a married man.
What do we want to talk about?
I mean, we've already talked about this on other podcasts.
guests and so forth.
Guests have shared things.
What do we,
what do we feel like sharing and discussing?
Travis,
I'll leave the floor to you because I don't,
I don't know.
At this point,
we're what,
over a month out?
It's,
it's been so much fun.
First of all,
the night was a night out.
It was insane.
It's a night out.
We'll never forget.
Me and Taylor are so thankful
for everybody that showed up,
you know,
from the vows to,
you know,
just seeing everyone,
to how much fun we had throughout the entire evening and hearing that kind of be relayed through
everybody's stories of the night.
And it was just so magical, man.
And I wish it could have lasted even longer than it did.
It felt like it just happened in a blink of the eye.
They kicked us out.
Well, they stopped.
Once the drinks stop being served, everyone kind of just starts to, you know, mosey out.
But, you know, thank you to everyone at MSG that allowed us to do this.
We wanted to do it somewhere where we could have a very intimate and genuine setting without a lot of distractions.
And we needed it to be a private feel.
So in MSG went above and beyond to give us that.
And I can't thank everybody enough about that that showed up, but also that helped put the show on.
And it was a very magical, magical night.
And I can't I can't say thank you to everyone without a give a special thing.
thank you to the Adam Sandler. Oh my gosh. Um, he has been just the fucking best person
you're right on this planet. And I, for him to be up for, uh, getting ordained in the state
of New York and marrying me and Taylor. Yeah. And the way he did in, in the very, you know,
sandman style and giving us more than we could have ever imagined in that moment, knowing that,
uh, it was the biggest night of both of our lives. It was, uh, it was absolutely insane, man. Yeah. I,
I, when you said Adam was going to be officiating the wedding, I initially, I was like, man,
that's, he's going to be hilarious.
But it wasn't until, like, right before the wedding that I realized, oh, my God, he's going to, like,
crush this because there's a, no, well, I mean, obviously he's an entertainer and he's very,
he's hilarious.
But there's a sweetness in everything Adam does, like all of his movies.
And like, like, there's a degree of it that I think really resonates with officiating a wedding.
I mean, obviously.
be a wedding singer too.
I guess he is officially a wedding singer now, but
I mean, it was, he was absolutely fantastic.
And the other thing was the ceremony was beautiful.
Adam killed it.
Both you and Tay were incredible in your vows.
The thing I really liked about this wedding in particular,
and the way you guys structured it was like,
after all that was done, like there wasn't like the sit down formal stuff.
There wasn't like a bunch of the speeches.
It was just time to party and have fun.
And that's what made it so fun for,
like for me to be there.
You're seeing all these A-list celebrities.
And then I said this on someone else,
but like, you see Mrs.
I haven't seen Mrs. Clark in forever.
See him, that was like the highlight.
I saw Brad Pitt,
hugging Conan O'Brien.
I see Paul McCarney.
And then all of a sudden I see,
Mrs. Clark.
And I'm like,
what in the world?
And like, it's this.
Yeah.
That was,
that was,
it was so cool to see how everybody interacted.
And, you know,
with no phones comes,
you know,
not people not having to be on guard.
and like feel that, you know, something, you know, whatever, whatever that feeling is for everyone.
It makes, it makes everyone be in the moment and be present.
And it was, it was so cool seeing everyone from my childhood, not only mesh with Taylor and her childhood and her family and friends and people that she works with to, to who we've, you know, come encounter with over our career and who we just admire as people and have become good friends with now.
And it's, it's just been so cool to see that world come together and hear through person by person, you know, after the wedding.
Just how awesome of a time everyone had there.
And then that's what we wanted it to be.
We wanted it to be, you know, a beautiful ceremony.
And we also wanted to make sure that everybody left there having some fun.
Yeah.
And, uh, and it was a, it was a magical nightmare.
Yeah.
And I mean, that's what I mean.
Like, you know, Paul McCartney, Brad Pitt.
Like there's, there's in the, but then.
also people that you guys grew up with and still have relationships with today, like seeing
that ensemble and cast of people all sharing one room to celebrate and like, you know, experience
today with you guys.
Like as someone just associated with a piece of that, it was, it was just like, it was so special
and so awesome.
Forever grateful for everybody that showed up and supported it, man.
Also, 92 percenters, for those of you that are unaware, our own jetjerk.
is officially a father.
Nice, Jake.
He is taken on perhaps the most important role he will ever take on this life.
And he is now hardwiring a bunch of information into a child's brain that will either be a success or lead to the next Ted Bundy.
We don't know which one will happen yet.
Oh, no, you can't do that.
Time will tell what his job is.
And that's that's fatherhood.
And for those of you wondering why he is not coming on today, he is on paternity leave,
which I have already started giving him shit.
I mean, let's be honest, you're not doing much, Jake.
Like, you can tweet with your hand and hold your baby.
Like, we're not, you're not going into the mill, right?
You're not forging iron and then having, you can do both of these at the same time.
I'm just saying, I'm with Jake on this, man.
When you need some time off, you got to get some time off, man.
He's got plenty of time off.
He's just had a month off.
Yeah.
Answer some of the 92% is there's not that much time.
That's all I'm saying.
The baby's going to be asleep for half of it.
All this doing is eat, sleep and shit,
and that's pretty much what the infant does for these first three months.
I get maternity.
She's listening to everything Jake's saying.
Listen, I'm all about fatherhood.
I'm all about being a great dad.
But, like, we all know that you're only so much you can fucking do.
Like, you don't, they aren't latching onto your tits.
You can bottle feed.
Listen, right.
My baby needs me, man.
Yeah, your baby needs you.
You can be there.
I'm just saying.
There's not much.
I look at it.
I think Kai just walked in.
Kai, is three months too long for Jets Jake paternity leave.
I need a woman's perspective because I feel like I'm going to be shunned if I don't.
Yeah, paternity.
Is he on that call?
No, that Jake is, he's on paternity leave.
Yes.
that it's too long.
It's too long.
What's an appropriate time of paternity leave?
You're asking the wrong person.
Someone who had a husband who went back to the way.
Well, yeah, we were football players.
We had to work.
They don't give you a paternity leave in the NFL.
I'm getting crushed right now.
You're going to get fucking.
We don't want any of this thing.
That's it for new news.
We're probably cutting that.
Once again, congrats to our good friend Jake and his wife, Emily.
Very happy for both of you.
I hope you guys do a good job.
It sounds like you already are, Jake.
You are taking your full patronage.
Well, and we'll shoot to a quick ad read,
and then we're going to talk some actual football.
So we'll see you guys in a second.
Let's see who's sponsoring the show.
New season.
All right, thank you to our partner.
NFL Sunday ticket on YouTube TV.
All right, ma.
So we got to talk about something real.
Okay. Sunday NFL FOMO.
You're at your home.
Group chat is blowing up and you're not able to watch or tune in live.
It's the worst.
Everybody's reacting to the plays in real time.
You're looking at your phone.
You're seeing everything happening and you're just sitting there refreshing,
like trying to be like, what's going on?
That's exactly the feeling and why everyone is locked in with NFL Sunday ticket on YouTube TV.
What do you possibly like about it?
What do I possibly like about it?
I possibly like that I can watch every fucking game that's happening on Sunday in one app.
I don't even know if I'm all to swear in this ad read, so I apologize to YouTube TV,
but your product's in fucking credible.
You get to watch every, it was so hard.
It gets you so fired up trying to think about it back in the day, dude.
Well, with YouTube TV, you can watch any game you want on Sunday.
You can watch multiple games.
You go off four at a time.
It's the best product that an NFL fan could ever want.
It's incredible.
Thank you to the NFL and YouTube TV for being so awesome.
You can watch it anywhere, too.
Like, I mean, my kids want to watch stuff on the TV
and they're tired of watching football.
I can just go outside and take my laptop with me
and watch NFL Sunday games on my fucking porch.
It is that awesome.
It is insane.
So, yeah, it's a great product.
All right.
And with NFL Sunday ticket on YouTube TV,
you get every game like Jason.
just alluded to every Sunday like Jason just alluded to all in one place like Jason just alluded to.
Yeah, no more missing moments, no more catching up on highlights two hours late. You're in it.
That's right. And right now new users get NFL Sunday tickets for just eight payments of $30 a month.
You got there right? I'm going to watch every NFL game for $30 a month. That's a no-brainer.

of $30 a month first charged at purchase.

It got some bold topics here.
Football is almost here.
It's back, but it is almost here.
We're about two weeks out of the,
season kickoff, actually probably about a week and a half since we're playing on a Wednesday
out in Australia.
But the NFL season kicks off next Wednesday.
So let's get into everything from training camp and the preseason.
That's right.
And let's start with U-Trap.
Obviously, you guys just finished up St. Joe's training camp out there in the wonderful
state of Missouri.
Yeah.
Officially on to the, you know, we're done in preseason games.
Now we're focused on the regular season.
He guys open it up with the Denver Broncos, big opener.
But let's rewind a little bit.
How was it your 14th season at St. Joe's?
Man, it's crazy.
It's gone 14 years since the first time I walked up there.
They all are the same, you know?
Coach Reed runs this camp very, I mean, I've only been under one coach.
And so I know the schedule, like the back of my hand now.
The biggest difference is I'm pretty prompt and on time nowadays, my rookie year.
I've seen you running down the hill of a couple clips online, though.
I say you're still...
That's just my excitement to get things going, you know?
You know, excited for the day.
Yes.
I would say year 14, I've been in the same dorm, 214 over at Scantlin Hall for 14 years every year.
Same room.
Wow.
Same room.
That's kind of crazy.
If you're in sweet 214, over there at Scantlin Hall, just know we've seen.
slept in the same bed and shit on the same toilet.
Oh my gosh.
It's a time in the season that you have to have.
And I love that Coach Reed and the chiefs still get away from the city and we still take a trip
away from the reality of things and get people away from, you know, the every day that
is Kansas City.
I mean, you're there for six months.
you know, at the least if you're not even talking about the off season.
And it's almost like a sanctuary for me up there in St. Joe.
And it's where I know I can just focus on my craft, getting my body as healthy as possible,
all while making sure I come to work every single day.
And I put the pads on when we're putting pads on to be able to build up the callus
and the armor that you need to have to get through a 16, 17, 18, 18 game.
season or 20 game season, whatever it is, and we're fortunate enough to play this year.
It's that as well as the camaraderie and building that chemistry with the team.
And I don't think you get as much of that by doing it in the same place that you do
entirely.
I agree.
Or if you don't, you have to go to other areas to be able to incorporate that.
You know, I think as I get older in my career, I really appreciate the fact that, you know,
I did take those three weeks every single year to just focus on that and to be around the guys
and to really just dive in and be all in on what we're about to, you know, endure together.
Yeah.
I 100% agree.
I mean, we went away in college to higher ground.
We went away when I first was the Eagles with Andy to Lehigh those first couple years.
And I was one of the minority players that, like, really enjoyed going away for camp.
I mean, I like, there's just something about like, even, like going to St. Joe's this year,
there's a different like feeling being at like a college like that.
Like even just walking around, seeing the buildings, the public is over there and it's open to people to just come on in and watch.
I remember hitting a sled for the first time in front of like a bunch of dudes just drinking beer and enjoying how cool it was to watch NFL players practice.
And like even growing up for us, that was one of the only things we saw.
from the Browns.
We went to like a training camp practice.
Yeah.
Because it was so hard to get tickets.
So it's like you're forced to spend time around your teammates.
And like is it a little bit different now because there's like phones and people bring
laptops and computers where like you can still kind of like disassociate.
Yes.
But it definitely forces you to be together a little bit more.
And I don't know.
I always enjoyed that aspect of going to like one of these colleges.
So the stuff that I've enjoyed is watching the Big Yeti.
like making some awesome moves and catches.
Like there's been some,
playing some good old ball, baby.
There's some really good clips of you,
yeah,
going up and getting the ball,
putting a little,
a little,
a little,
a little,
he-he,
oh.
So just so you know,
this is one thing.
I liked watching this because you're my brother
and I thought it was great.
I cannot stand when teams put these clips online.
Because for every person,
that's what I'm saying.
The Eagles do it too.
And like,
I love the Philadelphia Eagles, and I love watching the clips.
But, like, they put out a clip like Jalen Carter
beating the shit out of, like, a guy who's trying to make the team.
It's like, dude, can we just, like, let practice be its own thing?
We don't need to show everything.
Yeah, but, I mean, that's the media is going to run with what they can get a hold of, yeah.
You're right.
And it's open practice, so there's no point even holding it back.
That's just one thing.
Like, to me, if there's one safe space that a guy should feel good about, like,
hey, I'm going to try this new thing.
And like, it might not work out, but I'm going to try it and practice because it's not a game.
And then all of a sudden, it's basically the old done, a nut, done enough, but worse, because now it lives forever on social media.
Any, whatever.
But it wasn't all good.
It did start off with a lot of, I mean, the only way I could describe it is fat shaming, my brother, internet.
And.
Listen, man.
Sometimes you've got to have, you know, some extra.
I was listening.
Extra donuts.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Get those sour dough.
Yeah, baby.
Everyone's, we were in a world there for a little bit where they were saying fat is bad.
Fat is just saying, man, sometimes.
You know, fat could be good too.
What's crazy is it.
AI has gotten so good.
It was hard to tell cycling through those photos.
Like, what is the real photo?
Yeah.
How fat is Travis?
Man, Travis is that fat?
Yeah, I saw him last week.
He looked way better than that.
He really had a hell of the weekend.
And he's been wearing baggy shirts lately, so maybe that's it.
Even the route right there where I beat Gilman, who's a great player, and he got me a lot of the times in Camp 2.
You don't see everything that's out there.
They just saw how slow that route was.
And what they don't realize is that that route is based off of a hundred other routes that I've ran that camp.
And I'm setting up that move where I'm trying to entice that move.
and I'm going so slow.
It's like I'm feeding you what you want to try and jump the route that you think I'm going to run.
Listen with the pace.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And it's messy with the pace, man.
That shit was so fucking funny reading some of these comments on that clip going viral.
And then obviously the fat shaming and saying that I got a dad body.
It's all social media is just having fun.
And I even laugh at this shit.
I mean, it's fucking pure comedy.
Well, Andy was quick to have your back.
He's like, everybody's saying Travis Kelsey has a dad-bop, but he is in good shape.
And I noticed that.
Thanks, coach.
Yeah.
Big hand.
And listen, if there's one person that wouldn't say that, like, if that wasn't true,
there's no chance Andy saying that.
Right.
But I think, yeah, I know you put a lot of times.
There have been other years, but I've came in way fatter than I am this year for sure.
Yes.
Yeah, this is.
We're doing good so far.
I was actually, that's so funny, the difference of our positions.
I was actually encouraged to be fat going into training camp.
Kelso, we know you're going to lose like 10 pounds of training camp.
Please come in a little fat, sir.
We need you to be fat.
Let's get us some questions that Chief Sins want to know.
How's Pat doing?
Oh, Pat in my homes, man.
He's out there slinging the ball, man.
I'll tell you what.
Obviously, practice, it doesn't matter if your quarterback is coming off injury or not.
He's got on the special jersey.
You've got to stay away from the QB.
A lot of the season is dictated on how, you know,
how good that quarterback plays.
And that's every team at every level,
which is why there's that golden rule,
don't touch the quarterback, don't hit the quarterback,
because that's the guy that's going to help
catapult your team into victory in a lot of different ways.
And he's the most important position in football.
That being said,
that being said,
here comes the caveat.
That being said,
Pat looks fucking awesome right now.
Right.
I think right now he's,
you know,
he's on top of the reeds.
getting the ball out. He's, he's, you know, anytime he does get out of the pocket, he's making
great throws. And I think, I think it's going to take getting in there and feeling the bullets
flying for him to feel comfortable and what he's doing. And it's our job as his teammates to
make sure he feels comfortable, you know, whenever that opportunity comes. Are the things that you guys
do to try and replicate? Because that's a huge part of Pat's game is being able to move and
throw on the run and be creative like that. Pat and the trainers that he's worked with in the building and
his QB coaches that he works within the building as well as outside of the building have done
everything they possibly can to be able to simulate those kind of throws. And he's done an unbelievable
job at getting himself to this point. You know, I could see the hard work starting just weeks
after the surgery that he had last year. And I could see the determination. I could see the
frustration in his mind that it got to this point this year. And you know, that's a huge reason
why I'm still playing the game because I know that guy, I want to be there for that guy,
you know, in every aspect of the game.
And I think that's exciting coming into the year where you get a fresh start.
And we're a motivated group, baby.
You're not just returning with Pat Mahomes.
You're also returning with a new old offensive coordinator or former offensive coordinator
for the Kansas City Chiefs.
And that is Eric B. enemy.
What has it been like having EB back in the building?
It's a breath of fucking.
fresh air, man. I just love it, man. This has nothing to do with who was on the staff last year.
It's just what the enemy brings to the table and how he goes about it, man. And he's holding
everybody accountable, me included. He's gotten on my ass a few times, got me going on days that
I needed it and I love him for it. And if you take the right mentality with a coach like this,
knowing that his intentions are to make this team, the greatest team he could possibly make it. And
sometimes that comes with uncomfortable talks and uncomfortable interactions.
And as long as you know that where his intentions are and you don't, you know,
you don't take things the wrong way or when you're feeling shitty,
you don't let those negative emotions get to you and you take coaching the right way,
man alive.
You could see some of this kind of culture change back into what it was.
And we need to keep working on that.
It's not a fixed thing right now.
It's a year-long thing, and we're going to have ups and downs on the season where I'm sure everybody will need some sort of accountability to be held in that room, you know, whatever room they're in, if that makes sense.
Just from who he is, you know, I've known him for 14 years now.
And I know his intentions.
I know what he brings to the table.
And I'm fucking fired up to have him back in the building, man.
What he brings from like a disciplinary leadership, like, you know, tell it how it is, like kind of coach.
and you are happy to have that voice back,
is there another part of it that, like,
the thing I'm excited about is I think in the NFL today,
like everybody plays the shell,
or at least they start in like this,
like two deep safety look and roll late.
Like most of the best offense is having established run game.
And I think EB, being a former running back,
does he bring an edge of like a mentality
and also like a knowledge of that part of the game
that I think you guys could benefit for it?
Yeah.
I think we all know that old ball coach that'll tell you that we got to run it down this motherfucker's face.
Yeah.
And there's the mentality that comes with that.
There's a, there's a, if you say that every day that we put on pads and then you call the plays where we have to literally run it through a motherfucker's face.
Yeah.
You start to create a fucking mentality and a mindset that I have no other option other than run through this motherfucker's face.
He's told it to me 10 times now.
That's what I'm saying.
So you start to incorporate that and it starts to become who you are.
And then you become trained in that regard.
So that in the fourth quarter of week 10, when this team has seen this play,
not only twice this game, but 10 other games that you've already played and they know
what's coming because you're in the same formation and you're doing the same motion,
you're going to be ready to run it through this motherfucker's face.
You know?
And I think that's something that you can't, you can't, you don't get out of just anybody.
You need somebody that has that authority that has that that has that discipline in them,
that has that ability to not only be relatable to you and motivating to you,
but to be able to get that out of you when it's not easy to do that.
And that's something that EB has always been unbelievable at.
Well, part of running it through a motherfucker's face is having a guy that can run it through
your fucking face.
And you guys got one of those in.
We got a few.
We have a few.
And you've had a few in the past, too.
But this-Rim, we're running that shit through a motherfucker's face for sure.
This in pop, like, I mean, those feet would be churning.
Either way, you got a really special one now.
Kenneth Walker comes in, fresh off the Super Bowl run.
What has it been like at practice watching him?
What does he bring to the Chiefs this year?
I'll tell you what, man.
He brings leadership right away.
I was not thinking you were going to go there first.
Okay.
All right.
The first thing I saw was his leadership and how he approached practice.
His practice habits were second to none.
I mean, this guy finishes every fucking play like it is a game situation.
Every time he touches the ball, it is a game tempo.
It is a game alert, like attention to detail.
And how he does that, you can't look at him and be like, oh, man, like you have to match that energy every time you touch the ball.
Or you're just going to feel like you're not living up to that expectation of how we do things.
Yes.
And for him to be, you know, one of our biggest weapons right now and the guy that, you know, is going to get, you know, the majority that
carries throughout the season. And for him to practice like that says a lot about who he is as a
person and how he likes to attack his job and how professionally is. And then you see what he does
with the football in his hands. And you're just like, oh, yeah, this guy is as special as it gets
in the running back room, both in the run game and the past game. We got the box situated with
Kenneth Walker, yourself, Pat. What's going on out at the receiver position is one of the things I'm
waiting to see what happens. Obviously, Rash has been really, really good.
The guy I'm excited to watch, I mean, worthy from last year, you got a number of them guys,
but the guy I'm really excited to watch is Cyrus Allen out of Cincinnati.
Oh, nice, man.
Give it a little bear kind of love, baby.
Let's go.
I've been hearing good things.
I've been hearing good things.
Steve Smith went on the record, very good receiver himself, as Cyrus Allen is going to eventually
be, in my humble opinion, the number one wide receiver.
I'll tell you what.
That's saying a lot from Steve, from, if you're hearing that from Steve Smith, man,
you're you're opening some eyes at trainee camping you know he got a little banged up early on so
he's he's getting back off of you know he's getting back into the swing of things but man
when he's healthy and when we're rolling man he is a he is a dog and it's fun to watch him just
kind of play free and that's what that's the biggest thing is as a young guy is just being able
to go out there and play free you're not thinking about all the little things and all the notes
and the detail that the coaches are stressing.
And it'll get easier for him as we get a complete game plan for an entire week.
And he can just focus on that game plan.
I mean, there's a lot.
There's fucking, there's so many plays that you're just getting thrown at you
and so many details.
And they all conflict each other at times, especially towards the end of camp.
Well, especially the defense like Spags, who's going to be being multiple
and doing all sorts of different things as well.
Yeah.
Exactly.
So everything's going to get a lot easier mentally going into week one.
and I'm excited for him to be able to, you know, get back to playing free
and get back to just going out there and playing football, man.
But he is an absolute weapon.
And you hear that from everybody in the building.
Anybody that's been to camp has seen him making unbelievable catches.
And his routes are, are, that he has his own unique feel to running routes.
And when you have a guy that understands that naturally, man, it's a special thing, man.
We're going to have an unbelievable wide-out room, though.
I mean, I have huge expectations that Xavier,
worthy is going to take that next step and take it a step further in terms of his
he's got the explosive ability no doubt listen the athleticism is second to none in the league and
when you see how he how he trains his mind through practice a huge shout out to coach
o'Shea our new wide receiver coach coming in and being able to give him a little taste of you know
just you know what he knows and helping him understand some things as well and right
now the receiver room with uh those two rishi um tyquan thornton i mean we we got so we got some guys
that can go up top and some guys that can rock show up for sure that covers the offense how's how's spag's
looking how's the defense looking still cold is is is always going to be chris jones man he's he's going to be
the fucking anchor and the guy may just creating havoc uh in the middle of the field but he's got he's got
another just absolute dog. He's a rookie. Peter Woods. He's a rookie, but he's got an absolute dog.
And the run game and past game, man. This guy is, he's, he's violent, violent hands. And he might
not have the six five frame that Chris Jones has, man, but he's, he's, he's finding ways to
leverage his ability, his feet, his understanding of football. It seems like he's always a step
ahead of where the ball's going. And then on top of that, man, he's a force. So I'm excited for
Peter Woods on top of that, the outside.
Everyone's seen our Mason, Thomas,
get to the quarterback a little bit here in the preseason,
showing his athleticism,
his ability to, you know, get to the QB
or just create havoc himself.
And our first overall pick,
Delane is going to, he's going to be a perfect piece
for Spags to be able to use out there on the edge of corner.
A guy that's willing to come down
and shoot his gun in the run game as well as one of that
most athletic DBs I've seen
in a long time out there.
So defense seems.
to be primed. Offense seems to be primed. And I'm excited to go into this season with the
pieces that we got, baby. I'm excited too, because Monday night football, baby. That's right.
The Chiefs open the regular season on Monday night football, so I get to come watch against the Denver
Broncos. I got to ask, it is the one topic, everybody. I think it's been all but confirmed,
but I will ask you, knowing that Andy loves when players comment on other players' injuries,
is Pat going to start game one?
that's a good question
I got to ask that question
all right we'll move on
we'll move on we'll move on
we'll move on we'll move on
great questions
all right Jason we talked about some
chiefs camp let's talk some Eagles camp
for all our uh Philly listeners
and everybody interesting and what the old
gang green has got going on out there
in uh in Philly everyone saw coach Kels out there
first off
Coach Kells baby is it's only a matter of time
Jason just puts on the old
aviators, the old sweater, get some slacks on, and wait, what is this?
It's footage for me talking to Cam Jergens, it looks like.
Oh, yeah, nice, nice, nice.
I was like, I thought that was you back in pads with the jersey rolled up.
I'm like, what in the world is going on here?
I did rock the same look as Cam does, yeah, for sure.
Yeah, that's a banger.
How was it being back at camp and being around the locker room and the guys?
Yeah, I mean, I just love being at training camp.
I don't know what it is.
It's like the energy of it.
There's a lot of guys trying to realize their dream.
There's excitement for the season.
And I felt the same way going to your guys,
one practice that I went to.
I mean, even just watching 9 on 7 drill and hearing the grunts.
Like just like for some, like, I'm like, oh, man, this is like,
I'm like getting goosebumps hearing men grunt.
But it was great.
And obviously, you know, next year I'm still there.
There's still a lot of continuity there.
but there is a new offense.
There's a new offense to line coach.
Obviously, Jeff Stoughton stepped down.
So I was just curious to see how they're doing things.
Like, I kind of, I want to continue learning about the game.
That's my selfish reason for being able to go down there and take advantage of like trying to,
you know, this offense that they're running now with Mannion has been something that has
spread across the NFL for a reason that it's really successful and really good.
And, but something that I never played in.
So get to go down there, learn a little bit of it.
Obviously, I wasn't down there a ton, so I didn't get to learn, like, everything.
But it was cool.
And then obviously, Cooper, the new offensive line coach, coach Coop,
hearing how they teach things, the different techniques in this type of system,
all that stuff, and then being able to help guys in any way I could,
which was, you know, not as much as I would want to be.
Like, I would be awesome to be out there every day.
Like, there is something that's great about being on a field with guys
and seeing the progress, right?
Seeing a guy like Willie Lamke.
Like, Willie, I mean, I know we already got it in the rest.
run down but I mean dude the guy's like 5-11 like there's no way he should be able to play in the
NFL and to see like how he uses his hips how he uses his feet the energy and effort that
he plays with like I I love watching that um I love being around my former teammates you know cam
and and and Dickerson and Malada and Lane and Steen um yeah it's just it's awesome to be out there
uh very much a privilege to be out there with those guys when I can and
It was fun.
It was a great time.
Hell yeah.
Well, Eagles posted a clip from Jalen Hertz point of view.
Why don't we go ahead and play a little bit of this?
So they got these cameras on the quarterback's head now to see how he's using his eyes
and to see what he's seeing.
And this went viral and I think it shocked a lot of people of like what the perspective is from the quarterback position,
which I don't, I'd be curious.
I didn't ask Jalen this, but I'd be curious to ask Jalen or Pat or any quarterback.
like how accurate is this to like what you see like oh it's very accurate but don't you see more
peripheral like it feels like of course yeah the cameras shut off from there but in terms of like
looking forward and trying to see through human beings to see the human beings beyond them like that
that was very yeah that was i thought it was pretty cool i don't know if you can necessarily get like
better like understanding from it you know what i mean like i don't know how it's
helps you become better from that point of view more than like just watching it from like the sky
view.
I think the sky view tells you more and you can see things more clear and things like that.
I think it's definitely a cool view for like anybody to see the point of like to see that
perspective.
I think it's a cool thing in terms of like social stuff.
Yeah, I don't actually know what they use that camera.
I know that they're doing more progression stuff.
So I would imagine they probably use it for like making sure your eyes.
are in the right place to start the play.
But there's so much to the eye.
Like you said, the peripheral.
Like, I can see here and I'm feeling everything over here.
Like, it's like, there's so much in terms of your vision that you're,
and what you're doing pre-snap that gives you your reasoning for why you're doing
what you're doing with the ball.
You know what I mean?
So either way, that was a cool-ass clip to see for sure, especially, yeah, I mean,
when you see the guy, you know, throw it to a guy coming out of the screen or coming
into the screen like how do you see that guy you know what I mean he anticipated him being there it is
part of the play yeah yeah yeah I got you it was it was cool as though it was cool seeing I think a lot of
people appreciate how hard it is to play that position and like how much you're anticipating and like
doing things that really a lot of times a quarter probably isn't seeing fully right like you're you're
you're seeing with your eyes you're but you're seeing a lot and you're anticipating what you know
everybody's going to be the timing which you're going to be there utilizing that combined with your
footwork and everything. And it's just, there's a lot to that position. And it's really hard.
And it's always good to see fans understand that it's fucking hard. Um, especially that one.
We talk about a few of your, uh, Eagles, uh, tranny camp favorites. We just talked about Willie
Lampkin, man, the guys, 511, uh, smallest lineman in the NFL. Uh, you've tweeted about it.
There's the, obviously the highlight versus the Ravens. Um, yeah, dude, and he did it last year.
this kid's been the same kid.
Nothing's changed.
You know, obviously he's getting older
and he's going to get better with technique
and like aiming points and things like that.
But the last year, he was a dog.
And that's why the Eagles claimed him from the Rams, right?
Like Brian Baldinger was pointing out clips last offseason online.
And I'm like, dude, this kid is a beast.
Like I just, whenever somebody finishes,
it's something that I think stands out.
I tell rookies this every year.
Rookies come up to me.
Like, man, how do I make the team?
Like, what do I do?
And I'm like, dude, you got to stand out.
You got to do something.
And everybody stands out in their own unique way.
Like, I don't know what your traits are.
If you're really smart, maybe you'll stand out in the meeting room.
Maybe if you're real strong or stand on the weight room.
Maybe if you're real strong.
Like a really good, like technique player that will show up on film.
The one thing that it shows up with everybody is your effort.
And you can control.
If you finish harder than everybody else, that stands out to coaches.
And they love it.
And every time they see it on tape, they're going to notice it.
And they're going to be like, man, that dude wants it.
He loves the game.
He loves to compete.
And like, does it annoy teammates at times?
Yeah, of course, right?
But that's, dude, this is part of it.
Like, you don't, you can't brother-in-law everything.
And I just, I like, I dig the kid's mentality.
He's a wrestler.
Everything about him says that he shouldn't be able to play in the NFL.
If somebody came up to me like, hey, I got a son that's 5-11,
he has aspirations of playing the NFL.
Before Willie Lampkin, I would have said, you know,
he probably should be happy playing.
in college football, right?
At O-line.
At O-L-L-L-L-Line, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, the chance, I don't know the last time this has happened.
And not only is he playing it, but he is stout, he plays it at a high level.
Every time he gets an opportunity, he continues to show it.
And it's one of those where, like, every time a coach, like, what do you think of Willie
Lampton?
Well, I mean, he's a really good player, but, like, the size is going to come up and it's
going to rear its head.
And it continually doesn't.
even when he's playing guys like Jordan Davis and the Jalen Carter's who are massively
like more gifted than he am in size.
And I just,
you know,
I like anybody and respect to anybody that can overcome odds like that and be a special player.
Now,
he hasn't done it in like a starting sense yet,
like still waiting to see what that would look like if that does happen,
but just so happy to see.
And that type of effort in person is infectious.
That's the other thing.
I think,
I just love that he's a Philadelphia Eagle because I think he represented
what being an eagle is important and why it's awesome.
That's awesome, man.
They got a great room.
Obviously, the five starters, excited with Cam,
Landon, Steen.
Steen has had a fantastic training camp.
Going up against one of the best, like,
defense of linemen every single day in Jalen Carter in the NFL,
and he has battled his ass off.
I think he's looked outstanding.
Lane is obviously back,
Jordan Malada.
Can't wait to see what this run game and system looks like underneath.
A lot of the outside zone boots,
like play actions.
Um, it's, it was, it was a very fun camp to be a part of and watching.
Uh, and a lot of other guys stood out to, I'm pointing out Willie just because that was a guy that.
That was the guy that asked about.
Yeah.
That's who.
I'm also going to ask you about a guy that just announced this probably his last year, which is, uh,
Big Lane Johnson, 6'5.
Big Lane Johnson, man.
Say it ain't so lane.
You can keep going, baby.
Yeah.
I mean, we, yeah.
I think, um, one of the, one of the best guys that have on the, on the,
the in an organization for as long as he's been there, let alone one of the best guys out there
on the football field this year. Yeah. There's going to be Lane Johnson then. It's, it feels good
that Lane is finally, at least locally, I don't even think it's still happening nationally,
being appreciated for how unbelievably dominant he's been in the NFL. And yeah, yeah, but I, you know,
listen, I made a bunch of all pros, right, because I'm, I played the center position. And most people couldn't
even name 30 centers in the NFL outside of their starter and maybe one other, right?
Like most NFL fans.
So, like, I played a position where there's not a lot of notoriety in most of the guys in the
league.
And Lane is playing a position where people are drafting first round picks every year.
And there's big names at it at the tackle position, at least for the offense line.
Obviously different than like skill positions, but like the most notable player on almost
everybody's offensive line is a tackle.
So I just feel like he hasn't had like the notoriety of being the best pass blocking tackle in the NFL because he fights some of these political things of like first round picks and stuff like that.
But like if you look at every metric and like being on an island, drop back pass, how long quarterbacks hold onto the ball, all that stuff, nobody's really done it at a better level from a past protection standpoint to Lane Johnson.
And you press play on that fucking film.
you're going to see how good Lane Johnson is, dog.
There ain't no fucking arguing that.
I'm happy that it's finally being recognized.
I'm happy that, you know, if this is his last year,
I know he said it's his last year,
but listen, you have some success and maybe feel pretty good.
But regardless, he's had an incredible career,
can't wait to see the year that he has.
And, you know, it's just he's been such a phenomenal player
in person in that building.
Oh, yeah.
You know, he was an incredible teammate to me.
So, you know, excited to watch Lane in his last run.
No doubt about it.
Fuck, yeah.
Any of the skill positions stand out to you this year at training camp?
I mean, all the ones that you know are great.
I mean, we got the opportunity to look at a lot of the receivers.
And, like, you know, Devante Smith was hurt for a large portion of training camp as well as McCoy Lemon.
So we got to see Darius Cooper, another undrafty guy who ended up making the roster, like, have a really good.
training camp we got to see uh dontavian uh is it dantavian uh is it dutton tautarian uh
number 13 dude he's a beast i was like where the fuck did that guy come from bro so
he was in green bay he was in green bay yeah he was in green bay and he came to philly
he had some success in green bay too so everybody coming out of green bay was like this dude's
actually like a player like he's a baller and then he got to philly and even at o t's guys like
yo, this dude can play, right?
And then he goes on and shows it for a lot of training camp as well.
Like very, very skilled player.
So there's a lot of depth at the receiver position now.
Obviously, everybody's talking about Mikey Lemon,
didn't have the best first preseason game.
I mean, it's one fucking preseason game.
Can we not?
He didn't even practice for all the training camp.
Let's let the kid have a fucking preseason man.
Exactly.
So regardless, I think, you know, they have really.
really, really good skill position players.
San Juan Barclay is back.
The tight end room, they've grown it, right?
Like Dallas Goddard, now you've got the Johnny Munt guy,
who's a block here, like we'll fucking put his face into people.
I'm excited to see what this offense looks like.
I'm excited to see a new undercenter, more motions, more shifts, more formations,
and what the Eagles are going to do.
Because they've been saying they've been holding back a lot in the preseason, right?
They don't want to tip off.
it's their competitive advantage to not show that
until the season games start rolling around.
So I can't wait to see what this thing is actually going to look like
how Sean Mannion does, how Jalen Hertz does in a new system like this.
The defense is, I mean, they've been pretty damn good already.
So all right now.
Yeah, they got some pretty good players over there.
Pretty good coach, pretty good players.
All right, let's keep this thing moving.
Other big news in the NFL, Aaron Donald is officially back with the right.
Rams after taking a two years to walk away from the game,
kind of, who knows, maybe recharge, maybe really think about retirement
and maybe never playing again to all of a sudden Miles Garrett is a part of the
defensive line room.
And it's looking like there's a lot more reasons to come back, I guess.
I don't know.
It's been pretty cool to follow along what the Rams have got going out there.
A lot of big-name guys, man.
I know they got my guy Trent McDuffie out there and really just, you know,
look like a veteran team with a lot of proven, proven All-Stars, man.
Yeah, I mean, the last time the Rams went out and acquired a Super Team, they won a Super Bowl, right?
Like, that happened.
That's, I mean, they, they spent a bunch of money for it, and they had to kind of,
it took some time to rebuild the ability to build another Super Team, but they've done it again.
Not only a Super Team, they've taken the best two physical specimen,
defense alignment of my era of football.
And then, like, they still have, like Kobe Turner,
was a great player for them last year.
A really good three technique.
Byron, is it, Byron?
Young on the outside and then Fisk, those guys run games really well.
So like, I start to think about how they're going to utilize all five of these guys.
Puna Ford, great run stopper.
I don't know how much of the third down he's going to see with these kind of horses.
But I know you, Puna.
You're fucking awesome.
Respect the shit out of your game.
Anyways, I start thinking of like, what do you do to do this?
And people are like, oh, like, AD?
like we we got to get kill setter.
Guys, I didn't do shit against Aaron Donald.
He was a three technique.
All I did was literally slide and help the guard.
That's what I did.
We double team him.
Every fucking snap.
We did not leave him one-on-one.
I never played another game.
Chris Jones was the only other detackle really that we played
where we're like,
hey, we got to make sure we're limiting his one-on-one reps.
And it was even magnified where like the only time we didn't double team,
it was like a five-man protection.
was like, I'm sorry guys, like, I can't, I got to go over here.
I can't help you.
Yeah, I'm like, if, if the quarterback's hot over here, we're fucked.
So I got, I got to go this way.
Like, even if it was a five man, like, picture this trash, five big guys, right?
Six man protection with the running back.
Every team in America against any other team, you're making a five-o call or a poker.
Like the five office line we're going to block the five big guys.
Yeah.
We said, fuck that.
We're sliding to Aaronado.
Like, back, you got the Sam.
You got 275 pounds.
because that's an easier matchup this week.
That's crazy.
So, like, this is the reality of, like, what we went through
and how we changed our protections throughout this week.
And to be honest, like Wade Phillips, like Staley,
Remostert, they didn't do a lot of blitzes off of that
to make you worried about not doubling Aaron.
If I'm Shula, I'm bringing four away from AD,
four away from Miles to make the quarterback in center
like respect and just do a little bit of it.
You don't need to do a lot.
Just sprinkle it in one or two times a game.
Bring a fire zone over here.
That makes me like, oh, shit, I can't just double air.
I can't just do that, yeah.
Yeah, so I'll be very curious.
Are they going to put them on the same side?
Let Fiske and Young run games on the other side.
Are they going to put it both inside?
We've got to.
I would assume nowadays.
You've got to do a little bit, a little bit of everything.
The bottom line is when you get ready to
play really good players. You try to limit the one-on-one opportunities, right? So you slide to an
interior player. If you got a great edge player, you can try and slide to them. Sometimes that's hard
when there's a three technique to get out there to help the tackle. So you put chips and slams.
All of these things really bogged down what you want to do offensively. It makes you alter what you
want to do. Like the best thing you can do against a premier edge rusher like Miles Garrett is to put
a tight end in front of them and to chip them. Because his get-off is so good, make him a little bit
slower off the ball. Now all of a sudden, the tight end is slower into his route. We're losing
another guy out there. It's, it just, it gunks everything up, but it's things that you have to do.
If I'm getting ready for these guys, I'm still trying to double Aaron. I'm building all the
play actions in where I'm getting to double on Aaron and trying to get a double on Miles as often
as I can. I'm putting in cut pros. I'm putting in screens. I'm putting in cracks. Anything
I can to try and get in these dudes head.
And all of that happens and it ends up,
you realize after you try and do all this,
that, oh, man, we're not who we are.
So it's, it's, it is so hard.
I can't fucking wait to watch this.
I really cannot.
And listen, the Eagles play.
And we get it first game.
We get it first game.
First game.
First game.
Los Angeles Rams.
You guys are playing 49ers.
No, no, no, we get to see it.
As a fan, we all get to see it.
Yeah.
I'm a fan first, sorry.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, no, I don't get to see it until like Christmas.
Yeah, and the Eagles get to see it week four.
And listen, we don't back down from anybody, but I can't wait to watch this.
I'm looking, as an offensive line, defensive line, nerd.
I love playing the best.
I want to fucking play the best.
Oh, my gosh.
I might do some tape.
Bring it in.
Should we do some tape breakdown of how we used to?
It was the easiest game plan ever.
Where's 99 aren't going that way?
What if they're blitzing over there?
That would always be the fun one.
We're going into the meeting.
And it's like, all right, Kelse, here's a game plan.
I know that I'm going to slide to 99.
I don't give a fuck what the, what you all are talking about.
But if you want something else, you're going to put a different guy in its center.
I'm going over here.
Because this guard is shitting down his leg.
And we're not going to let this guy ruin the fucking game.
And then Aaron's in the middle of the game.
He's like, oh, Kels, why?
Yeah.
Stop doubling me.
Stop doing me.
No, Aaron.
No.
We are going to double you.
And don't be mad at me.
I hated playing.
Kelses little fast ass.
I mean, I didn't do shit.
I'll get over there quick as quick as I could.
Had to go behind the guard sometimes
and he beat the guard around the edge.
Nice.
All right.
Well, it'll be fun to see how all that unfolds, man.
Congrats to the Rams and, you know,
congrats to Aaron, man.
There's got to be a fucking fun time coming out of room.
Let's just crown them now.
We don't even need to play the games.
Moving on, do we want to talk about maybe
the wildest preseason story or what?
Oh, the 49ers. Yeah.
Per the FBI, the Federal Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Yep.
Man posing as a San Francisco 49er charged with defrauding over two dozen women out of more
than $1.3 million.
Yeah.
Yeah.
One point three million dollars.
Yeah.
It's, I'll be honest, it's hard to feel bad when it's as easy as just Googling.
Have you seen the videos? Have you seen any of this?
No, that's what I'm saying. I have not seen. I want to see what the, what the, what he looks like.
I don't know. It might have been the video.
I should have, I should. Like, listen, I'm not, I'm anti-fraud. I'm anti-fraud.
He's signed in his contract.
Now, let's see. I mean, ladies, the first, the first, this is insane.
Let's go. Let's go.
So he's a receiver, but he's also a defensive back doing a back pedal drill pulling a sled.
Listen, man, I got the Lambo.
Hey.
Yeah, I mean.
Hey, got it.
Karaoke.
It's not a bad karaoke.
That's not a bad karaoke.
It's not an impressive karaoke, but it's not a bag.
Well, actually, it is a pretty bad karaoke.
Actually, seeing it up closer now.
It's fucking hilarious, man.
This dude literally got off, man.
God damn it, man.
You got to show the day he's signed his contract.
Here it goes.
Ready for the season?
Go ahead, get this over with.
Who you signed it with?
Who you signing with?
You know the Niner gang.
I signed a contract.
You know what I'm saying?
We're good to go.
Light work.
We get ready to start the season.
I just said his goal there.
Look out number seven.
Last name, Love, 6, 5, 2, 10.
I'm out there.
Wow, receiver.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Who the fuck is the cameraman?
Oh, yeah.
We're all clowning on this motherfucker.
He had an accomplice.
He had an accomplice.
Yeah, of course.
He used, they would, I guess he would use his friend as his financial advisor and call him to, like,
shoot the pitch on what these women were investing in.
I think that's what I've read.
Can somebody come in and tell me if I'm false on that?
I don't want to give out any false information per the FBI.
No, you're correct.
Yeah, I believe that was.
He's been tracking this case for 40 hours.
You are correct, sir.
Claimed to have been born in Switzerland,
claimed to be cousins with Julian and Jordan Love,
because he used the last name Love.
I like that one.
That's clever.
Yeah, he does look like them too.
All right, let's keep going here.
What's your favorite lie of this list?
Because I'll tell you mine.
All right, claims to have been undrafted but worked his way onto the team.
Okay.
When asked why he wasn't currently on the team, claimed there are three components to clearing waivers in the NFL.
Physical, mental, and emotional.
Wow.
Which is not mental.
That's an emotional.
Emotional is completely different.
It's completely different than mental.
It's your head and your heart.
It's your head and your heart.
He told women he did not clear waivers because he broke his pinky.
So he was stuck on stuck with the 49ers.
Okay.
Claims he was the majority shareholder of a Gucci store on Saks Fifth Avenue.
That's my favorite.
No, this is my favorite one.
This next one is my favorite one.
What is a majority shareholder of a Gucci store mean?
I guess you can.
Are there shareholders of Gucci stores?
But 6th Fifth Avenue is another store.
Pacific stores.
Like, can you?
You can franchise a store, but you have to have shareholders.
It's got to go in other store.
Are there IPOs of every Gucci store?
Every Gucci store opens, like as an IPO.
Oh, my God.
This is fucking hilarious, man.
He got them.
A Thanksgiving turkey giveaway is my favorite.
You know how, you know,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
He tried to, he tried to
do Jack's idiot and
I mean, this is.
Oh my gosh.
He finessed people for thousands of dollars
and then faked at the turkey giveaway, man.
Yeah.
You couldn't just give away some turkeys dog.
God, yeah, they would have been on to you.
He took so many photos in that Niners helmet.
I don't.
That Niners.
moment it's legendary man even the mouthpiece he's got on it you got to make sure you get the mouthpiece
i need to know what he spent on like fanatics like what was his bill every month for his nineers
oh my gosh anyways please fellas how do you how do you help people not get slammed by
scam by a fake and about player uh how do you have have fun here's a thing laughing at the people that
actually believe this man was in the NFL the only thing that's a crimeable offense is the defrauding of like a
100% yes
100%
you can lie about being
you can't lie about your shareholders
and your shoes don't worry yeah you can't be doing right
or in like fake investments that don't exist
and taking people's money um
yeah I mean
whatever
it's finds a lost remote outside of defrauding
yeah I just
the sociopath
and like to be to this level
to like make this stuff up is just fucking
crazy to me
um
I also want to know who the cameraman is, who the other, like, there's, there's a crew here that was involved in this.
Who's throwing him the football?
Who is, show yourself.
Who else is a part of this?
I just can't get over.
Like, you're just going to give 50,000 without Googling the guy's name and find, like, what happened before this was noteworthy?
Like, did he have, like, some, like, internet, like, stuff out, like, fabricated as well?
so if you Googled his name, it would show up.
If he did, man, hats off to him, man.
Are women aware that, like, players, even if you're a practice squad player
and you're, like, very, like, not well known,
typically those guys were also at least some point
really good college players.
And, like, there's still, like, documentation that they are on the team.
He's from Switzerland, man.
He's an international guy.
There would still be stories of it.
Like, I just, there's none of this.
I mean, it's completely.
I mean, it's absolutely crazy that someone would do this.
And also, like, I mean, we got to be smarter women.
I'm just going to put it out there.
We got to be smarter.
We got to be able to sniff through this one, all right?
Because I'm telling you, Liz, what happened?
Women are getting money now.
They're moving up the job force.
They're not, they don't know.
Like, men have been getting defrauded with Ponzi schemes and women for a very long time.
Man titan.
Like, this is a tail as old as time for men.
to be fooled.
You need to start as women now that you're getting money
and being, you need to understand.
There are pieces of shit out there that will lie.
Oh, man, that's too funny.
All right, let's get us some no dumb questions.
All righty, before we get out of here,
we're going to answer some of our no dumb questions.
And maybe the question all 90%ers want to know
is where is Jason going to blew himself at?
Oh my gosh.
That's right.
They're on to you, Jason.
They are.
They're very on to me.
I'm self-on to myself.
You're on to me.
Everybody knows.
I will be doing Blue Band Group.
I will do it.
I mean, listen, I lost a bet.
So the choice is yours as to when you would like this to take place.
I think we should take it to the 92 percenters.
92 percenters.
By the time it came out that you were going to the course and going to American Century,
we were already done recording.
So I couldn't say that there was a.
asterish about this entire bet because you were injured.
Yeah, you were injured.
No, no, no.
I would have claimed that beforehand.
I never claimed that a damn.
Listen, I'm not trying to back up.
But I was the one like this seems like an unfair bet at this point.
Like it's a fair bet if you're going in full strength and you want to wish upon a star that you'll be able to get into the positive.
Travis, I was minus 34.
It doesn't matter if my hand was healthy.
let's not make excuses.
This is what I was trying to tell you going into it.
Just get ready because I'm making the same fucking bet next year.
I'm going to be in the goddamn positive up in Tahoe.
And I lost this one and I'm going to pay the price.
But I don't know when should I do it as a question.
Am I doing it next week?
What episode would you like me to be blue at?
It's your oyster that we're living in.
It's not up to the 90% of you.
I lost the bet to Travis Kelsey.
I thought it might be fun to be blue at Tahoe.
but
oh man
I also think
it'd be funny
sweating and
well I'm fine with that
that's gonna happen
regardless
I'm not but I think
the blue dye
coming into your eyes
that sounds
that sounds a bit
it don't even release it on the podcast
because we want it to be a surprise
I feel like for 90%
just tuning in right
all right I thought I could
throw it to the 92%ers
but it sounds like
well if you want
you can do whatever you want
I mean it's your
that's my bet
man I've never won a
I've never won't a bet like this.
I've always lost these bets.
You don't even have to decide it now.
It's whatever you want, whatever you want to say.
We'll figure this out outside of this conversation.
You are doing it.
You are a man of your word.
And we're going to keep it a fun surprise for everybody on the show.
We'll find a, we'll find a perfect time for me to make Jason have to answer his bets.
All right.
That'll be fun.
At least I'm not ripping off a speedone being labeled things on the internet.
All right.
Last thing, before we close out,
The NFL season is here, and that means Jason has a brand new NFL Sunday ticket commercial.
That's right.
Epic.
I'll tell you what, you guys are getting fucking good at this shit.
Ever since we started incorporating more Kylie, it's all of a sudden they'd be getting better.
Tusha.
She's a superstar.
Honestly, she's so goddamn good.
I've been working my ass.
I was trying to get this good at commercials my entire life.
I've been fucking done two.
It's unbelievable.
Oh, my gosh.
We have some behind-the-scenes footage.
brought to you by our friends at NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV.
Brandon, if you would do the honors.
Let's go.
Hey, huh.
I forgot my life.
One, two, three, fuck.
No way.
That was an added sound.
I would just like to say.
That sandwich was fucking awesome.
Whoa, $30 a month this year.
How about that?
Only for new users.
Good point.
Who picks the multi-view and the Kelsey household?
I would say I'm usually in charge of what we're watching for NFL games.
I don't get to be in charge a lot in terms of what we're watching,
but I do get granted.
Part of it's because it's my job.
Yes, your job.
You got to know.
Yeah.
Sorry.
I got something.
I got to be on the desk.
I need to watch.
I got to know what I'm talking about.
These games in particular are going to be the ones we're going to talk about, so I need to watch.
While my kids screaming me, is, are you done watching football yet?
We want to watch Disney.
And it's like, you'll enjoy watching this in a couple of years, trust me.
Well, you guys are unbelievable, and those commercials are fucking good.
I can't wait to keep seeing everything that comes out.
It's also just a great product.
It's a cheat code.
Like, it's absolutely crazy the access you have to watch games on Sunday,
and YouTube TV brings it to us.
So thank you, YouTube TV.
Thank you, NFL for having this whole Sunday ticket planned.
I think it's...
We always knew it could be way easier than what it was,

Peace.
A lot of the things that I dislike
about modern Disney movies music
is everybody is
really tried to hop on the Hamilton vibe
which is like very like descriptive of the song
and the song like it's like
telling you what's happening.
for word rather than being
an overarching, like, thematic
of the movie. It's a very direct.
It's a very direct lyricist, yes.
It works really well for Hamilton, and I'm not
like trying, like, far be it for me to not
lineman well, but it's not my,
I just don't like that kind of
music in Disney films.
I like when, like, the music stands
out, like, without really
even needing to see the film. It's almost just like...
You want emotional motivation in your lyrics.
Let's get down to business.
Sainya
Havadi shibada
Uh huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh
To defeat
The Huns
Ooh
That one's a banger
