As Super Bowl champions, we know sleep plays an important role in recovery, which is why 8 out of 10 NFL players and 80% of the Kansas City Chiefs players have a sleep number smart bed. Did you also know that 8 out of 10 couples prefer a different mattress firmness than their partner? This is why sleep number smart beds let you choose your ideal firmness for each side. Who is the firmer sleeper? You or Kylie? I think I have to be I think comparatively because of my weight my side might be softer Kylie likes to sleep on the incline though
Starting point is 00:00:38 That's one thing that we do like about the sleep number and I snore when I drink so then Kylie can just pop the Incline up on my side and then that stops the snoring. But like we said, it doesn't matter if you and your partner have different preferences, Sleep Number lets you choose your ideal settings or your partner can choose yours. They also offer features like foot warming and head and leg elevation, as we were just saying.
Starting point is 00:00:57 92%ers don't take it from two Super Bowl champions, take it from their podcast intern. If you're in the market for a new bed, you should definitely stop at a Sleep Number store. Their biggest sale of the year is going on right now. You know what my latest plan to divert our family from getting a cat is? I just keep telling our girls that cats are poisonous. Why the fuck would you tell them that? So that they don't want cats and I don't have to deal with having a cat and make them terrified It's sick. That's whatever they'll find out. I think lying to your kids is important

What is embargo? Embargo is an order of a government prohibiting and departure
Starting point is 00:02:26 of commercial ships from its ports. What a legal prohibition on commerce. All right, got it. An order by a common carrier or public regulatory agency prohibiting or restricting freight transportation. You ever heard a word, looked up the word, and then got even more confused about the word? All the time. That's what just happened with embargo.
Starting point is 00:02:50 That's what embargoes just did for me. I thought I knew it, and then I read it, and I was like, wait. It's pretty much what I thought it was. I still don't understand how that applies to Sunday Ticket and YouTube TV. Ha ha ha. Their description, I just don't get it.

We picked our three favorite cereals to all go into one box. You know it, baby. It's marshmallows, peanut butter, and cinnamon. Yeah, cinnamon toast crunch, Lucky Charms, and Reese Puffs. That's right. Some of our favorites.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Don't forget the chocolate and the Reese Puffs. I know it sounds like an odd mix that wouldn't go together. I'm not going to lie. When they first put this in a bowl, I was like, I don't know how this is going to taste. It's probably not going to taste that good. I knew it was going to taste. And then you eat it and you're like, man, it's shocker. It was going to lie when they first put this in a bowl. I was like, I don't know. This is probably not going to taste that good. And then you eat it and you're like, man, it's shocker. That's tastes real good. I've always mixed some of the toast crunch with Reese puffs. That was always a banger to me. And then on top of that, I would also mix Captain Crunch and Lucky Charms. It's
Starting point is 00:06:00 the chocolate and the peanut butter and then the cinnamon. And then you just get a nice sugary marshmallow thrown in there. And it's just delicious. It's the chocolate and the peanut butter and then the cinnamon and then you just get a nice sugary marshmallow thrown in there And it's just delicious. It's absolutely delicious. It's almost like smore ish Yeah, I would say the Reese puffs definitely is the power flavor in there Oh, yeah for sure and then you get a cinnamon II kind of kick to it with Just a wonderful marshmallow from time to time. Absolutely. Lovely. sure you guys check that out. And shout out to General Mills, still rocking and rolling with our favorite breakfast. We've been eating that stuff for a long time.
Starting point is 00:06:30 A long time. It's going to be a long time till I stop. The first item of new news, the internet has spoken, Jason, and you fucking cheated. Well, it's a good thing I don't care anything about this poll. And that's a lesson learned, ladies and gentlemen, you should never care what the internet says. It is, because- It's number one. Even if they're the 92 percenters that listen to you. Listen, I am all for the democratic process.
Starting point is 00:06:55 All for the democratic process. But when you have a bunch of people voting and they don't understand what the rules are, then I'm not for it. And on top of that, this wasn't a sanctioned, you know, tournament. There was no like brackets. There were no rules. This is old school bar stool wrestling. You and me right here. Find a way to get it done.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Oh, Nicole, Nicole didn't grab the table. So you had an unfair advantage. Yeah, well, that's Cole's fault, okay? I can't be subject to being sanctioned because she doesn't have the common sense to grab the table for leverage. Yeah, and she's got a gold medal, so she's great. She's doing great. Oh, you lost to a woman. I beat an Olympian, okay?
Starting point is 00:07:38 That's what happened. I was on her turf, and I took her down! That was pretty good. Way to make it right. All right, well, now we know. We have not lost faith in internet polls. I still believe he cheated if it was a real event. It's not a real event, so who cares?
Starting point is 00:07:56 There's no opinion on this. It's, read the next part. It'll tell you exactly how I didn't cheat because the rules stipulate that the offhand is either grabbing a peg or can grab a table There's legitimate like a whole rule in Regular wrestling arm wrestling that allows for this. Okay. Nice. So the Internet's wrong again. Well mama's wrong Mama's right moving on to a next bit of new news, the Kelsey Car Jam. Year
Starting point is 00:08:27 two, baby. That's right. Year two. I'm pumped to announce Kelsey Car Jam is coming back to Kansas City. This year we're going to have it October 5th. That's a Saturday before, I believe, one of our Monday night games. And ironically, my birthday. So we're going to have some fun. Last year we started this event and it's a benefit. It's to benefit 87 and Running, my foundation team, that helps out the underserved community and the youth here in Kansas City and back in Cleveland, our hometown. We'll have everything from old school muscle cars to some high-end luxury vehicles. Typically, we get some teammates to come down and show off their cars. Everybody comes down to have some fun and come together
Starting point is 00:09:11 to raise some money for a good cause, man. Everything we get here just gets injected into the city. It has helped raise money in years past for the ignition lab and operation breakthrough and the amazing things that they do for the youth. The amazing things that they do for the youth here in Kansas City and have done in years past. And one of my favorite parts is seeing the operation breakthrough ignition lab, their mechanics part of that ignition lab displaying all the things they've been working hard on, including the 1970 Chevelle that they turned into an electric car.
Starting point is 00:09:46 That's right. We got high school kids doing that at the ignition lab. It's pretty cool, man. It's going to be a fun time. It's kind of like a carnival atmosphere. There's always good food. There's always some entertainment outside of just the cars. And once you guys go on the website, 87 and running.org and the tickets are on sale right
Starting point is 00:10:03 now. So yeah, can't wait to see you guys. That's Saturday in October 5th. Heck, yeah. How's that? How's that shovel running? Oh, it's running smooth, baby. I got my I have not drove yet.
Starting point is 00:10:16 I have not drove it yet. I've been trying to get down to the addition left. No, I haven't gotten down there yet and been able to take it for a test drive, but I've seen that thing and it looks fantastic. And I'm sure with that Tesla motor that it's got in it, they figured out how to get that thing wrapped up pretty good. Nice. I got that pickup truck that Chevy 1986 pickup that never was running.
Starting point is 00:10:41 I got the operation breakthrough working on that. So I don't know if it'll be ready for Kelsey car GM year two, but I'm excited to, well, one, I'm excited to go to operation break. That I still haven't been there. I know you and dad have talked about it a lot. Oh, it's the best. Yeah. The faculty and the kids that are a part of operation breakthrough just seems
Starting point is 00:10:58 incredible, so I can't wait to check, check that out. But then too, I can't wait to check out Kelsey car James. So what is it? Is it just like, it's like a car show, essentially. Yeah, it's a car show. You come down, see some cool cars, get some good food. Is there any Jagrasian? Yeah, maybe have a few garage bears at drag racing now.
Starting point is 00:11:14 We haven't we haven't gotten into the drag racing yet. Yeah, I don't know what happened at Kelsey Car Jam year one. Anything exciting? Well, I think it was the it was the operation breakthroughs ignition labs first showing of kind of what they had been working on in the mechanics side of things at operation breakthrough. The ignition lab showed up with the Chevelle back then and then showed kind of the beginning stages of them, I believe doing a blazer, either a blazer or a Bronco, an old school
Starting point is 00:11:43 Bronco for Bronco. Yeah. So I think they're going to turn that thing into electric and kind of restore it. Yeah. Oz, my man Oz is behind the mechanic side, right? Oh, yeah, yeah. He's the one he's the one that kind of leads the mechanic side in the ignition lab. He's the one like the supervisor. Yeah. Sounds fun. Can't wait to check it out. Yes, sir. Do anything Should I should I try bring the Cybertruck? Or would they all laugh at me? I don't know. I
Starting point is 00:12:07 think you can. Yeah, if you want to bring the Cybertruck, those are always fun to watch. It's a car show, dude. If you got a cool car, bring it down. That does it for new news brought to you by our friends at General Mills. The official Kelsey Mix will be hitting stores soon. Make sure you stick to the serving size. Stick to the serving size.

I'm telling you guys it is Unbelievable milk at the it's great. No cereal milk is quite possibly. Yeah, but but the brie seep us milk Yep, but then but the Reese puffs milk. Yep.

You're magically delicious and lucky. Let's get on to some fan mentions, baby. Alrighty, before we get to our official NFL Week 1 preview, let's shout out some of our fans, the people that allow us to do this.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Yeah, right now. First up, a lot of you let us know about Travis Kelce's llama sighting at the Minnesota State Fair. Look at this. Travis Kelce dressed llama seen at Minnesota State Fair. Minnesota? Minnesota? Do llamas have humps? Those are camels. Camels have humps. Is that a person? seen at Minnesota State Fair. Minnesota?
Starting point is 00:13:25 Do llamas have humps? Those are camels. Camels have humps. Is that a person? It does look like a person. Oh, it's got the arms. That's funny as hell. That's actually pretty funny.
Starting point is 00:13:34 The more I look into it, I had to zoom in to see. I was like, why does this llama have arms? That's pretty good. There's a llama. They're fake arms. Yep, it's got the helmet and everything. Streamers. You a big llama guy? Nah, I'm not a big llama guy. There's a llama. They're fake arms. Yep. It's got the helmet and everything. Streamers.
Starting point is 00:13:46 You a big llama guy? No, I'm not a big llama guy. Not a big llama guy? A lot of people in our area are starting to get the alpacas. Ooh, nice. There's somebody around us that has a full-blown camel. That's fancy. That camel's pretty badass.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Ooh, camels. You can ride it. Camels you gotta watch out, man. You can't stare those things in the eyes. They'll spit on you. I think llamas do the same thing. They do. They're known for that. Yep. Llamas are fun to like watch prance around Do llamas serve a purpose?
Starting point is 00:14:10 Yeah, I think all animals in the animal kingdom serve some well now I mean like a hippo doesn't really do shit What is a llama a hippo make sure that everybody stays in line? Yeah, they're hungry and then they Make for a great board game. What is this? So, llamas, what do llamas do? I fucking love them. They provide meat and milk. So, people eat llamas. I'm not eating llamas and I'm not drinking their milk.
Starting point is 00:14:38 I figured you could use its wool. Yeah, that's where I'm, yeah. Leather? People make llama leather? I think that's a little fucked up. What's the one that Louis Vuitton, is Louis Vuitton making some llama leather? Lama leather. Ha ha ha!
Starting point is 00:14:54 Peter would be on their ass if they were doing that. Candles, llama fat is used for making candles. Yeah. Well. Kind of disgusting. Shout out to the Minnesota State Fair. Didn't know we had Chief's Kingdom up there, man. The Travis Kelsey llama did not win.
Starting point is 00:15:10 It lost the costume contest to the champion Emerson Croft and her llama, Machiato, seen here. It was a watermelon. I came in second place? You came in second place behind the watermelon llama. Damn it. Which, if I'm going to be honest, I think the watermelon llama is more creative. I mean, look at that costume. That's a pretty... I think that's better. That's a person. That's not a llama. Well, the llama is to the left of the person.
Starting point is 00:15:35 Well, that doesn't look like a watermelon at all. That's like the sliced watermelon. I agree though. It doesn't really look like a watermelon. Yeah. She's got the better watermelon outfit. Shout out to all the llama contests out there. Maybe that's a bad view of the llama though. Maybe at a different angle, it kind of looks more like watermelon. Who would have thought that there would be a costume contest for llamas? What other animals? I mean, there's got to be like a dog costume competition. Nope. Never heard of it. Just llamas. Llamas are pretty, that's probably the best ones. That's their relevance. You're asking like, what are llamas for? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:16:08 they're here for- They're for making costumes? For costumes, yeah. And staying with animals, I bought a horse, man. How about that? You bought a horse? I did see this. How about that? Old swift delivery. Swift delivery. So, did the name prompt interest or did the horse? I'll say, you know, when the stars align, you know, it's just, it feels good to jump on board.
Starting point is 00:16:30 How does one go about buying a racehorse or even finding out how to buy a racehorse? Take us through this process. Yeah. So you have, you have really good friends that are good people that are into horse racing. So the Zoldans. Yes, the Zoldans. Bruise and Alex Zoldan. I've known Alex for about 10 years plus now since I've been in the league and fellow Ohio
Starting point is 00:16:52 and shout out to Youngstown family that we all got. And yeah, the Zoldans are just, they're an awesome family. They own Phantom Fireworks, one of my favorite fireworks stores up in Ohio and throughout the Midwest, or really throughout the country. And I've had so much fun going to events with them and just building our relationship. And sure enough, they were at the Super Bowl. They invited me to the Derby this year and I had one of the best times ever at the Derby as they were my host.
Starting point is 00:17:21 And sure enough, I was like, man, that'd be fun to like, get involved and like see one of your horses like in a race like that. That seems like it would be a fun, fun thing to be a part of knowing that they've actually had a horse when in, I think it was the early 2000s, it was a horse called Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom. Yeah, it was a fun Disney name. Yeah, they won the Derby, that is. And wow. Yeah, sure enough. They asked me if I wanted to jump in on a three year old that they had.
Starting point is 00:17:51 And the name was it made sense to to team up with this one, it being Swift Delivery. What's cool is that the different style of horses, some horses get out to a fast start and try and like lead the pack and just take off and like Yeah, they're sprinters. Yes. And then the others are like the finishers, right? The ones that kind of come around the the last turn or the last two turns. Straight away stress. Yeah. So that's my question. Does swift delivery have an enlarged heart? No. Do you know how big its heart is?
Starting point is 00:18:23 No. See, that'd be the first thing I'd be doing is I'd be getting an ultrasound and seeing how big this thing's heart is. Yeah. Well, that's you. I just got on board because it was fun and I could team up with a good friend of mine. I'm not in it to look at the size of the hearts. And I like the way that Swift Delivery ran. I've seen like three or four races that Swift Delivery has been in and sure enough, I heard nothing but great reviews and it's more of a finishing horse. It comes around
Starting point is 00:18:49 that turn and just hits the top speed and kind of saves the last straightaway with all the juice that it's got. So as you did say, it is a three-year-old horse, so it's not eligible to participate in any of the Triple Crown races. Correct. At this point, how much longer will this thing race for? And what's the end goal to like, hopefully it wins some and then you get to stud it out? You're asking questions that I have no answer for. You're asking me absolutely no questions. I know it's next race is going to be somewhere within the next like two months.
Starting point is 00:19:24 You said it finished second place last time? Yeah, up in Woodbine. Yeah, up in Toronto this past weekend was second place finish. It was a weird weather. The ground wasn't and it's like in its best like suited racetrack for a Swift delivery. So we still got a lot of faith in it. So Swift delivery is a dry track racer. It's not a good on the wet track. I'm not sure how it switched. I just know that it didn't make it easier for Swift delivery.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Have you thought about giving it more steroids to improve its second place finish to first place? It does not. I'm not answering that question because it does not take steroids. What do you think this is the 1970s? Everything's regulated now, Jason. Oh man. We actually care about the horses. Are you sure? Jason, just leave it at that. And lastly, Travis got a shout out from the king himself, LeBron James. LeBron James, he was asked to name his tight end Mount Rushmore. And he named Travis first, the number one tight end, Northeast Ohio, baby, which I don't know. I mean, he did name you first. It was it was very clear in the video, too. He went right to Travis.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Then he went Kellyn Winslow, Sr. Shannon Sharp. Actually, then he went Tony Gonzalez, Kellyn Winslow, Sr. and Shannon Sharp. And then retroactively, I think somebody was like, hey, you might want to put Gronk up there. And he's like, oh crap, I forgot about Gronk. That's the way the video seems. And he took Tony off and put Gronk on. So his final Mount Rushmore is Travis Gronk, Shannon and Kellyn Winslow Senior. He's checks the list. All five of those guys, you could take me off of there and put those four up there and it'd still be the same list. I feel like the guys that have played before me helped make the league so that I could
Starting point is 00:21:13 have the success I've had in the league. That includes Gronk, that includes Tony, that includes even Kellan Winslow Senior who played back in I think like the 70s and 80s. Yeah, and Mount Rushmore is more of like a, that's more of like a historic presidents. Like you don't have like new presidents like on Mount Rushmore. So maybe Gronk, Travis, and maybe even Tony. Tony's pretty new. I mean, he's pretty modern tight end.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Who would be the classic tight ends that should be Mount Rushmore? Kellyn Winslow Senior. Yeah. Mike Dicke. Mike Dicke, maybe Ozzie Newsome on there. Ozzie Newsomelow Senior. Yeah. Mike Dicka. Mike Dicka, maybe Ozzy Newsome on there. Ozzy Newsome. Ozzy might, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:48 I think Ozzy might have snuck into the 90s though. He's the Cleveland Brown guy, you gotta put him up there. Yeah, 100%. Who else? Who's the fourth tight end? I don't even know if I can name a fourth tight end from back then. Who's the guy that caught the pass from Joe Montana in the end zone? What's that guy's name?
Starting point is 00:22:00 That was Clark. That was a wide receiver. Clark? He was a wide receiver? Mm-hmm. Are you kidding me? He looks like a tight end? Okay. RIP there, legend.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Yeah, you would have to put Shannon up there if you're... Shannon's a modern guy too. I'm talking about like pre... I mean, what's technically Tony and Shannon played in the 90s and so did... If you played football before the steroid era, you are... Didn't Ozzie play in the 90s? Or was he before that?
Starting point is 00:22:24 I think he's before the 90s. Ozzie Newsome, Ozzie Newsome was... For whatever reason, I feel like he was like an 89 guy. I think Ozzie was like similar to Kellan Winslow, right? Makes sense. Ozzie Newsome, he finished playing with the Browns in the year 1990. So he was really the 80s.
Starting point is 00:22:42 I knew it. Kellan Winslow Senior. Yeah, so they played in the same timeframe. Yeah. Dicka is also probably somewhere in that same window, right? Yeah, he's probably more 80s. He's 70s. Yeah. He was 85 bears, he's the head coach.
Starting point is 00:23:00 John Mackie. Don't just reach for John Mackie. All the other ones are going to be new age tight ends. Shannon, Travis, Grock, Tony, Antonio Gates. Yeah. So I guess it's Mackie because I can't even name it. Mackie is the original like the Mackie award is the college NCAA like tight end of the year award.
Starting point is 00:23:20 It is? Let's see what his stats are. I mean, it's a different game. It's a different game. So let's not compare the stats. Okay. Three time first team all pro five time pro bowler. And he was like the, the, like you said, he was like kind of like the founding father of the tight end position as Dick was Ozzy kind of transformed it into the nineties. And then our guys, Tony and, and Shannon took it over. Yeah, because like, Mount Rushmore, those guys are all like, I mean, three of them are real old.
Starting point is 00:23:48 And then you got Roosevelt up there who's like, when was Teddy Roosevelt a president? Early 1900s, Teddy Roosevelt?

I mean, reading 12th season, I feel old as fuck. Yeah, no. But today in practice, I felt like I was flying. That's good. Your mustache makes you look older too. There's something about a mustache that makes you look seasoned. Just more seasoned. In a good way though. Like it makes you look like powerful. So you like it. Yeah. I just watched this Wyatt Earp thing on Netflix and I'm in on the mustache. That's

Sportsman of the Year, which we're not going to get into. But you won the Sportsman of the year, which we're not gonna get into. But you won the sportsman of the year award. And you have a suit. Something the Kelsey brothers should never be up for. Yeah, I won like the best guy of the year. The two guys that cheat the most

Like it was a dapper moment What would your wild west name be You gotta have like a cool like gunslinger name like your port your porn name is like the street You grew up on and then like your your dog's name or some shit, right?

Man, it's going to be in everybody's search. How do you figure out your Western name? We might have to go to the 90% is how we figure out our Western name. How's a Western name decided?
Starting point is 00:30:59 What's a good Western name? Big Yeti. Maybe you can, what's another form of Big Tumbleweed. Big Tumbleweed. Cactus John. The Bearded Bandit. Who would it be? The Revolver. Ooh, nice. What's a good bandit name? What's Travis's Western nickname, 92%ers? Yeah, I don't even know how you figure that out. Either can you tell us how to figure it out, or you guys just got a couple of Western nicknames you think would be a stash. There's got to be some people in this comment section that are just big time Western movie
Starting point is 00:31:33 and culture fans. They just had great nicknames. Even NFL back in the day, there's some about nicknames. Like that's Big Red. Why is he red? Because he's got red hair. Yep. What's like a great nickname of an old football player? Wow. Wow. Like that's big red. Why is he red? Because he's got red hair. Yep.
Starting point is 00:31:46 What's like a great nickname of an old football player? Shoeless Joe Jackson. That's a baseball player, but that's a great. Mean Joe Green. We got to come up with a good one. Chiefs Aholic. Well, the 53-man roster is officially out for the Kansas City Chiefs. And here are a few players that Chiefs fans are excited to see this year.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Travis, let's get your thoughts. All right, let's do it, baby. Rookie wide receiver Xavier worthy. That's right. The man with the fastest 40 time ever. Does that speed translate to the field? Here's some high. It does. You can watch as Travis answers this question.
Starting point is 00:32:18 I'll say this. Some guys have the speed and some guys are just football players, man. His he's intelligent. He's intelligent. He's picking up on the offense very smooth. He's intelligent. He's intelligent. He's picking up on the offense very smooth. He can see things and react. And so his reaction and his awareness is up there. And then on top of that, he has absolute speed that is unworldly. Yeah. It's just on a whole another stratosphere in terms of his stride. Like once he gets going-
Starting point is 00:32:40 So he's a strider. That was going to be my question is, is he a- Don't get me wrong, kill quick burst agility driven player? Or is this a linear like take the top off a defense or both? I think I think it's a little bit of both. I think he's his stride is more, you know, relevant. Then how quick he is. Uh, I think he's right around six foot. He's somewhere in there.
Starting point is 00:33:02 I might be lying. You might be smaller than that. You're taller than me. I don't know. You're asking questions that nobody knows. Jason, five, five around six foot. He's somewhere in there. I might be lying. He might be smaller than that. Because you're taller than me? I don't know. You're asking questions that nobody knows, Jason. Five, six foot. I'm pretty sure you're right on it. When he runs, does he run like a robot or does he have that fluidity?
Starting point is 00:33:15 No, he's fluid. He's a fluid runner. He's very smooth. That kind of comes with the stride. I'll say this. I'll say this. He's very, like I said, he's a smart guy. So he's understanding the offense and he's understanding when Pat is gonna wanna come to him on the route.
Starting point is 00:33:31 And that's the biggest thing in this offense. And that's the biggest thing kind of getting used to as a rookie is being able to see and trust what you're seeing so that you're on the same page as your quarterback. And he's doing a great job with it so far. And it's, I'm excited for him, man. He's he seems like one of those guys that rises up to the occasion when the lights are on and I'm pumped for him. For the life of me, I don't know why other teams keep allowing Andy Reid to draft the
Starting point is 00:33:56 fastest human beings. He did it with Deshaun Jackson. Yep. Did it with Tyreek Hill. And now he's done it with Xavier Worthy. And it's always fun to see a fast receiver and Andy Reid offense. He's going to dial some fun ones up. All right. All right. There's also a new fan favorite, undrafted rookie Carson Steele. Man, that's a good football name. He's bringing the fullback back to KC. He is. I think he's a little bit more than a fullback too. He's athletic and he can do some things with the ball in his hand. On top of that, he's a little bit more than a fullback to he's, uh, he's athletic and he can, he can do some things with the ball in his hand. On top of that, he's, he's a big special teams guy or whatever you need me to do coach kind of guy. Um,
Starting point is 00:34:31 so you're going to be seeing some, uh, some of Carson steel, whereas I like to call them, uh, done D done short for short for crocodile. Then is that because of the alligator that he's got a gator he's had for a, for a while now is one of his birthday presents from His father I believe his dad got that. Yeah, does you a lot about him? And I guess you need like a hundred permits to have a have a gator up in Indiana So dad's getting you an alligator don't don't don't think he's doing this illegally Yeah, son of a gun, you know it this is the real-life Bobby Boucher basically
Starting point is 00:35:04 He sounds like a guy that I would call a tweener where he can do a lot of different things, almost like a Kyle use check. I don't want to put him in that category until he starts playing games, but there's this world in the NFL that Kyle Shanahan and a lot of these offenses have done where you take like a guy that can play fullback, tight end, you can even split out wide, and you can all of a sudden get to all these formations. You can get to eye, you can get to tight end wing, you can get to three by one.
Starting point is 00:35:33 There's a lot of different ways you can utilize a guy like this, which improves, I don't know, just the amount of plays and formationally what you can do. I'll be curious to see how Andy starts utilizing them. Yeah, it's another formation, another piece to the puzzle that the defense has to be ready for. And I think Andy Reid's offenses
Starting point is 00:35:55 have typically had that fullback type player. We didn't necessarily have him last year, but this year we really have a guy like Carson that can just, he can do more than just what a typical fullback can do, which makes it harder on the defense to have to, you know, account for that. It's hard to find the guy that can do fullback and do that. Usually the fullback guy is like a meathead. I think Anthony Sherman right away from your guys. Sure. One of my favorite teammates of all time. He's the guy that everybody loves because he does all the work that nobody else
Starting point is 00:36:26 wants to do, which is basically just run full speed and blast your head into this other person as hard as you can. And it's rare to find a guy that's willing to do that. And then also athletic enough to do all the other stuff. It's hard to find that guy. That guy has a ton of value if you do find one of them. Exactly. And sure, was a huge special teams guy as well.
Starting point is 00:36:43 We actually I'm pretty sure he filled in playing Safety Force one one day one year. He also he also was our starting running back against the Denver Broncos. A few years ago. Oh, yeah, Sherman later. He's he was one of the he's one of the best fullbacks. He's one of my favorite guys to play with man run a lot of downhill plays. Don't get him going east west. Just get the big fella moving North and South. So he's he's gonna be a fun piece to see how Andy Reid uses and and sure enough, I think
Starting point is 00:37:10 he's gonna he's gonna help out the team a lot this year, man. Well, one of the great things about Carson Steel is he's just got a football name Carson Steel. I mean, it's asking for a great nickname. I'm just gonna go with old Dundee or I'll just call him Carson because his name is Carson. And here's the picture why you call him Dundee. Here's his alligator. Very juice. I mean, it's a big alligator, bro. Look at his neck. That's how you know that this guy's willing to run into things.
Starting point is 00:37:35 When your neck is wider than your skull. Yep. You're going to be good at running into stuff. My neck is like right here. It's aligned with like the outsides of my eyes. Typically you'll notice most people's neck is not wider than their jawline. That means they hit the fuck out of things. Yeah, that means when you hit somebody with a neck that's not wider than your jawline, it exposes your spine a little bit. But when your neck is wider than your ears, your head's not going to move anywhere. You're basically a torpedo at that point. That means you are safe and you have your seatbelt on. That's exactly what that means.
Starting point is 00:38:08 So this guy's earrings, a neck wider. Look at his quads. This guy's just been doing leg extensions all day. How do you even get quads like that? Dude, he put on like a leg sleeve for like recovery and like to reduce like swelling and stuff on his legs. And he was wearing it and he expanded the sleeve so much that it looks like he, it looked like he had painting hose on. The only way I could be more like my stock higher in this guy is if he had a bunch of tattoos. Like if he had a bunch of like, just like Jeremy Shockey tattoos, I'd be like,
Starting point is 00:38:41 I'm all in on Carson steel. He's got an alligator earrings, a neck wider than the freaking Nile river. And he's got quads more cut up than super cut up. It looks like his quad is overflowing over his knee right doesn't make sense. You can't even see his kneecap because how big his quad muscles are. I don't know that you do this. You can't even see his kneecap because of how big his quad muscles are. I don't even know that you do this. He's getting dourched right now.
Starting point is 00:39:09 His fucking hat. Look at how skinny that hat looks with his neck. This guy's fucking doing four way neck. I'm telling you. All right, man. He could probably run into a brick wall and fuck that wall up pretty good. That wall.
Starting point is 00:39:19 I feel bad for that wall. Yeah. All right. Let's get to the next guy. Hollywood Brown. Hollywood Brown, baby. Probably the biggest offseason movie guys made outside of the draft or anything else was signing Hollywood Brown. Or I mean,
Starting point is 00:39:32 we'll get into some of the extensions and stuff here in a little bit. But yeah, Hollywood Brown veteran wide receiver. But unfortunately, he is hurt right now. Is that safe to say if there's been any injury information that's been released? He's getting better. Yeah, he's getting better. I'm pretty sure it's public now is that he's out for this week. Yeah. He's excited to be able to play with Pat Mahomes in this offense. He's seen success. He's seen how it's ran. And he sees the accountability that is put on the wide receivers. And he's excited excited about that man. He's very smart.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Another guy that came into the building immediately wanting to learn, wanting to understand the nuances and the little things that make this offense go. And he's very detailed in his work and a smart player that can play fast, man. When he was out there, he's out there rolling. And he'll be an asset for him as soon as he gets back to full strength, man. That's awesome. What? What do you hurt? Something, something in the shoulder, I believe. Okay, one of those shoulder things. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:36 And other chiefs roster news Creed Humphrey got paid. He set the bar brand new for centers. Must be nice to play center. Signed a four year, 72 million dollar contract extension, including 50 million guaranteed. He is now the highest paid center in NFL history. Damn. And he deserves every second, every penny of that contract. Creed has been really since he got in the league,
Starting point is 00:41:05 which has been unique for him, for the center position, typically there's an onboarding process where you learn the trade and you gotta, not Creed, he's been great from day one, he's been one of the best in the league and he doesn't, I mean, I don't anticipate that slowing down anytime soon. And this is four year extension for 72 million.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Yes, sir. So yeah, that's a big deal. Worth every freaking penny like you said. Do we know what the APY, is he now in like? I think he's like 16, 17 a year. 16, yeah, yeah. Well done Bubba. Yeah, no, he's like we said,
Starting point is 00:41:39 he's worth every single penny man. He's just so good in between the tackles, in space, getting to second level. He's one of those guys that can just do it all, man, on the offensive line. On top of that, a guy that takes command, a guy that is, in terms of a leader, is showing everybody nothing but the best. I'm just happy as hell for the guy. One of my favorite teammates on this team.
Starting point is 00:42:03 Sure enough, I didn't know it was this much money, but I knew that he got the extension during our preseason game. The news leaked during the game that he was signing an extension. He went in there and he signed his contract and got a hot dog in the locker room and went back out of the field. Isn't that it? What a day. What a day at the ballpark. What a day at the ballpark, baby. Okay. $50 million and that's good. Okay. Where's the hot dogs? Yeah. I can smell them. Yeah. So shout out to Creed for getting that extension. The core
Starting point is 00:42:36 of the Chiefs offensive line is now signed for an extended period of time here. So Chiefs Kingdom, you can get pumped on that. Well done Creed. Well, the other thing we've been hearing about all offseason is the three Pete. Yep. That's the storyline everybody is talking about with the Chiefs. I don't know if you know this, but it's never been done before. I'm sure nobody has mentioned this to you guys. I did my research. The one thing I've been noticing, you guys have talked to, you guys have been pretty open about discussing the three Pete. Is that fair to say?
Starting point is 00:43:04 I haven't told, who have I talked to you guys have been pretty open about discussing the three p is that fair to say I haven't told who have I talked to about it I feel like the first time I heard about the three p was from you guys right after the You won the second one. That's probably the only time we've really talked about it So now you guys are more focused on to this Getting read week one, right? You don't get to the super bowl by thinking about Winning the super bowl you get to the Super Bowl by thinking about winning the Super Bowl. You get to the Super Bowl by slowly creating this routine of success week in, week out. We have to be a better team in December and January and in February than we are right now. And we know that it's a process
Starting point is 00:43:38 that you have to go through. You can't peek too soon. You can't look that far in advance and just assume that you're going to be there. You gotta make sure that you're present every single day and you're putting in the work and practice, you're putting in the time to get right mentally before the game and then on top of that, being real with yourself when you do play and if it's a good game, it's a bad game,
Starting point is 00:44:03 always finding a way to get better. And I think that mentality and that formula of success that Coach Reed has implemented here, I think that itself is, that's what you got to focus on. You can't focus on anything down the line like that. Before we wrap up Chief's Talk, let's talk a little bit about the season opener against the Ravens. This is a rematch from the AFC championship game last year. Trav, you missed week one last year against the Lions. It was the first game you missed in.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Thanks for the reminder. What was that? Nine seasons, 10 seasons. I was, I sucked, Jason. I was, I was, I felt older last year than I feel right now. That's how I lost that game. This game will have the banner raising, which is, which is the last celebration of last year's Super Bowl. Are you ready to finally stop talking about last year? I haven't, I'm so done. I'm not even bringing up last year. Yeah, you just bring it up every time
Starting point is 00:44:57 you talk to me. What? No, I only bring up two years ago. You never stopped talking about you're like, Oh, I don't know if you know this, but we won the Super Bowl last year. No, I always say we won the last two years. You make sure to hide. I think I think that I'm so done with this. I was kind of done with talking about last year after the after the ring ceremony. I'm so thinking forward and thinking about this this this game. I'm so thinking forward and thinking about this game on Thursday. I'm so focused on this year and just, like I said, trying to get better every single week, man. Well, Trey Smith is with you. He weighed in on this question. Winning the Super Bowl last year, no one cares about that.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Nobody cares about that shit. Nobody cares right now. We're focused on it. It's a completely new season. We have to prove ourselves week in, week out. Love that quote from Trey. He's also one of my favorite guards watching the league. God, I love that guy, man. Fuck. It's most exciting. For no reason at all. Do you want to watch Trey Smith wreck somebody's shit? Yes.
Starting point is 00:45:56 It's like you read my mind, Brandon. How'd you know I wanted to see this? Is this the DB one? Yeah, this is like you're just watching- Good evasion, slaps him by him, yes, this is a good evasion. Slaps him by him gets flat. That's the most important thing. Nobody knows this right after you get that release. You got to get flat. If you go up field, if you go up field, you're going to miss that block. He goes flat and then just cold cocks this dude in the side of the head. It's all about angles. It's all about angles in this league. God, I love this block. That's football, son. That's football, son.
Starting point is 00:46:26 That's how football is supposed to be played. That is not an anomaly. Trey Smith does these kinds of blocks all the time. That's why we love him, man. Do you have any thoughts on the Ravens leading up to this first game? You just played them in the AFC title game. Two very similar teams from last year. Not a lot of changes.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Obviously, they lost Patrick McQueen. They've added Derek Henry. He's a great player. They lost Jadevia and Clowney. He's a great player. Gino Stone. They have a new defensive coordinator, was promoted within, so you probably can assume it'll be a similar system as to they ran last year since it's somebody that was in the organization.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Yeah, and then they have similar pieces. Don't get me wrong. I mean, Clowney might not be there, but they still got edge rushers. They still have a great defensive line. They have a core of good linebackers, yes. And then on top of that, they got one of the best secondaries, definitely one of the best safeties in Kyle Hamilton, who I think they'll give even more responsibility to now that he's even more comfortable in the league, having the unbelievable season he had last
Starting point is 00:47:21 year. Do you think Kyle's going to want revenge? I think the entire team is definitely gonna be fired up for this one, yes. I've been in a situation where I've lost an AFC championship game and a Super Bowl at that. And the next season you come out pretty fired up and ready to wreck havoc, man.
Starting point is 00:47:40 Love it. So, we'll have to match that intensity and make some plays, man. At the end of the day, when that ball's in the air, we got to make the catch and we got to get the run game going. We have to get the run game going. You heard Rokhan Smith earlier this week talk about how you stop them and you got to make them one dimensional is what he's saying. Hopefully we have the full arsenal firing on all cylinders.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Well, best of luck. Should I go? Should I go to the game? Am I invited? I've never been in this situation. I don't have anything to do with this. I got a ticket for you, but that's about it. All the other tickets are fucking sold. So I can't invite dad? You know how it gets. Dad's already coming. I figured. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:25 All right. I guess that wraps up week one Chiefs versus Ravens. We are so excited about this next partner. Oh yeah. Our friends at General Mel's heard that we love their cereal, so they recruited us for cereal greatness. We talked about this in the previous episode, but we can finally say we have attended Cereal Training Camp. That's right.
Starting point is 00:48:46 And can now officially add cereal creators to our resume. Jason, what did you think of the Cereal Training Camp? Well, our taste buds worked real hard to curate an all-time lineup of Kelsey approved cereals and launch our very own Kelsey Mix. It's been fun to reignite our love for cinnamon toast crunch and lucky charms and resey puffs All that cereal once again is back. We loved being a part of this project Travis and I finally attended a professional training camp together. Kelsey mix will be available very very soon Ladies and gentlemen, so if you're looking for a cereal that combines cinnamon and the goat taste of peanut butter and chocolate
Starting point is 00:49:25 Whoo with some perfect crunch and texture from the cinnamon toast crunch squares to the delicious the absolutely delicious Lucky Charms marshmallows You got to check out the Kelsey mix Can you feel it? I can't feel it. Do I, should I feel it? Well, maybe, because the NFL season is finally here.

This is still a half Philly podcast. We're not gonna take that away
Starting point is 00:52:09 from the Philly 92%ers that we got. Don't take Philly, don't take it away. Once a bird, always a bird, baby. He might've retired, but Jason will not leave the building. That's right, Jason, do you still have a locker in the locker room? I have a locker in the staff portion of the building. That's right, Jason, do you still have a locker in the locker room? I have a locker in the staff portion of the building. Your staff? Staff. I'm with anybody from accounting or whoever wants to go get a workout in. I am in that part
Starting point is 00:52:34 of the locker room. I love that for you. Sexy Batman was back in the Eagles training camp though. He made a ride back over to, what is it, NovaCare Center? NovaCare Center. Marshall S. Novocare Center, that is correct. Marshall S. Nice. Helping out, holding bags and stuff. Did you just become like a, what is it, a dummy? Marshall S. Bag holder?
Starting point is 00:52:54 Marshall S. Punching bag? Yeah. Marshall S. Yeah, I mean, I don't even remember holding this bag, so this is interesting but I would love to. I actually would want to start putting cleats on and giving the guys looks and stuff like pre-practice. I think there's some things that help out there but I just haven't had the time and you know, I'm so in my busy schedule, it's just tough. Gosh. Selfishly, I want to stay involved in the game. You know, I get to go and talk to Stout,
Starting point is 00:53:20 Cam Juergens, new starting center obviously. Yeah, but a veteran in his own right, right? He's in his third year. He's second year as a starter, first year as a center, but he's played the position a lot, so. And he's been in action. He's seen a lot of bullets, man. No doubt.
Starting point is 00:53:33 He's gonna be great. I feel like the more connected you say to the game, the better I'm gonna be for Monday Night Football selfishly, and then also the more you just stay sharp in terms of like overall football. Has ESPN or the NFL told you that it's okay for you to be in the building and still do commentary? Or I guess it isn't commentary.
Starting point is 00:53:55 It's like pre, half game and post. Because Tom Brady just got told he couldn't be a part of an organization. You can't be an owner, correct. But you can be like a scout and still do it? I don't know what the rule is. I think it's the affiliation with a club. Yeah, I don't know what the rule is. For me, I'm not accepting any money from the Eagles.
Starting point is 00:54:16 I don't have an official position. I'm really just going there out of pure interest on my own to keep my knowledge base of the game up. And obviously, I've built up a lot of relationships with the people around that building that, you know, I'm going to help out in any way I can. But the reality is that's not my job. Tom, he was, he's just, he's now not allowed to have like production meetings with other teams and get the access in the building that all the other broadcasters technically had.
Starting point is 00:54:46 Like this week we got the NBC cast and we got Mike Tirico and Chris Collinsworth. I love those guys by the way. They were so fun to talk to today. Just the absolute best in terms of calling a game. They're just class acts with it. I think that Tom isn't allowed to do that. He's not allowed, like
Starting point is 00:55:05 my meeting with Tom would have never happened. I don't think he's even allowed to do production calls. I think he still is. Is he an owner? Of the Raiders, yeah. I think that's- Of the Raiders. I thought that that fell through because of what we're talking about. I'm pretty sure they just made it to where he can do it, but he's not allowed to be on production and kind of get that insight from other teams. Inside scoop stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Yeah. All right, Howie Roseman told Kay Adams, he tried to recruit you as a scout. I think Jason would be great at anything in football. I think he'd be a heck of an evaluator. I tried to recruit him to come work with me too because he can even, he can evaluate players very well.
Starting point is 00:55:47 When we were in the draft, I gave him a few centers that we really liked and he came out and said, I love Cam Juergens and luckily I only gave him the players that I like, so I can't come up with somebody else. So he can't. Yeah. This is the real key. They give me guys that they already like, and all they want is for me to affirm what they already think. They don't want me to come up to them and
Starting point is 00:56:09 be like, hey, I actually like this guy over here. But yeah, Cam Jurgens is a guy that I liked a lot. Landon Dickerson, I liked him more as a guard coming out. A lot of teams are looking at him in the center. He would do center just fine. But his skill set, in my opinion, translates to be more impactful with the guard position. But I also like the other guy. I mean, listen, I think I have fun watching football and looking at the eyes. And it's so interesting watching players and like almost right away, you kind of like, oh, I like what that guy's doing right there. I like the way he moves his hips. I like the way he sinks. I like the way he's out in space. He mirrors people. You're taking all that into consideration. But I'm partly not accepting a position because I want to be able to be honest
Starting point is 00:56:50 in my assessment as an individual media member. Although I think everybody knows I'll always be biased towards personal relationships that I have with the Eagles. Maybe that's in the future, but not in the cards right now. Well, Nick Sirianni also said that the door is open for you to join the Eagles coaching staff. We'll see. Maybe, maybe one day. I know selfishly I would love coaching, but that's a big time commitment that at this point in time, I'm not willing to make. Maybe down the road. Yeah. Well, as an unofficial Eagle scout and coach, what do you think of the
Starting point is 00:57:24 2024 Eagles, brother? I think they're immensely talented. I think they had a lot of talent last year, especially on offense. And I think that some things stalled out. I think that this year, they're going to be really good. They've improved on defense. They've added new pieces in the secondary. They've drafted some guys and have a more well-rounded group.
Starting point is 00:57:45 Defensive line wise, I think they're very good. Linebacker is the question mark. I think it's waiting to see how N'Kobe Dean comes back and some of these new guys fit in. I like the linebacker's coach. I've talked to him and I think that, I just think they're going to be really good. I think they have a lot of talent. I think that Jalen Hurts is going to have a bounce back year.
Starting point is 00:58:03 I think they have two coordinators who have proven success in the league and Kellen Moore now and Vic Fangio. And I think that last year, there was a lot in place after losing those two guys and the previous coordinators and Shane Steichen and Jonathan Gannon. And for whatever reason, it didn't work. There's a lot of reasons for that. But I think that with these two guys here, they've won a lot of football games. They've done a great job at calling plays on both sides of the ball.
Starting point is 00:58:34 I think when you take into account good play calling with really highly talented individuals, it would be shocking to me if they don't perform at a very high level this year. Yeah. They got a whole lot of talent. That's what they have, sure. Well, the media has been asking Jalen Hurts on his thoughts on the first season, not on the receiving end of Jason Snaps. He's probably thankful for that.
Starting point is 00:58:58 His take was, we had a great player in Jason Kelsey who took on a lot of responsibility. And as a result of that, I was told not to worry about a lot of things. And so my, my eagerness to learn over the years was kind of halted and but now times are different, which sounds like Jalen took his game to another level, man. You got to love that. There's a lot of media in Philadelphia that are blowing this into like a negative assessment. Like he's making an excuse or something like that. And I've shared this exact sentiment with Jalen. I think he's at the stage now in his career that he can take that next step forward in
Starting point is 00:59:35 making a lot of these protection calls and things that I did for him early in his career when he's a young player. He's seen a lot. And I think that a lot of the things we struggle with late in the year with the Blitzes, when teams do a great job of disguising things and you really don't know if you can where to direct it, the quarterback has to feel comfortable with where he's hot at. And I think that Jalen now controlling a lot of this and taking this ownership on is going to help, especially for situations like that.
Starting point is 01:00:05 100%. But I think him taking on this as a responsibility is going to accelerate his game across the board. And I think he's ready for it, one, from a knowledge base. Two, I think he's ready for it just by being a more experienced player. And he's going to be more of a leader. He needs to be more of a leader and have more of this responsibility on him. So I'm excited to see how this goes for him this year. I think mixing in that portion of it as well as you listen, the coaches have had a full off season. They know that they are going to get blitzed a lot early this year based on how last year ended. They've been focused on different ways to defeat the Blitz, either from getting rid of the
Starting point is 01:00:46 football to checks to putting the protection in ways that are conducive for the play called. And I think that all of these things that they've been working on all off season is going to, I think it's just going to lead to a much more productive offense, especially in regards to that. So I'm excited to watch all of this take place much more productive offense, especially in regards to that. So I'm excited to watch all of this take place. You can't take anything negative out of that. All you can take is that he's taken the next step. He's getting better, ladies and gentlemen.
Starting point is 01:01:14 So don't take that as a negative thing. Just because it's something that he didn't have to worry about in the years past. Understand that he wants to know and now he's putting in the work to figure those things out so that he can play better, he can play faster, he can play more confident. For sure. Pat Mahomes talks about how he couldn't even read a defense the first year he was in the league and it all just, you have to find that groove of wanting to get better and really you have to be surrounded by coaches and players and people that'll tell you exactly how to do that and, and how to like
Starting point is 01:01:48 figure things out. And I think that Sirianni is a great, great offensive mind or a great coach. And obviously Kellan Moore is going to do a great job of making them feel comfortable. And I just think that, I think that it's blown way out of proportion. If you're looking at that as a negative thing, all I see is that it's blown way out of proportion if you're looking at that as a negative thing. All I see is that he's getting better and that he's looking for ways to improve in 2024, man. Yeah, absolutely. And I think Nick backed him up with this comment. He said, Jalen Hurts comments
Starting point is 01:02:16 he made on the radio this week about how he will have more control this season as Jason Kelsey was previously in charge of a lot of things in the line of scrimmage. He said it was Jalen being able to do some things in the line of scrimmage and Kelsey handling a big portion of that. So yeah, what he said is 100% true. I think that I've made this exact statement to Jalen. I think he's ready to take this next step and I think in some ways it's going to help him become a better player. I don't think reading into this negatively, I think Trav, you had done it really well as well. I'm excited to watch how Jalen grows as a player. And I think the coaches as well. He's proven a lot of people wrong when they doubt him. That's for sure, man.
Starting point is 01:02:56 And I think the coaches and Nick Sirianni and everybody involved, there's been a lot of attention put on a lot of this stuff all offseason in an effort to fix it. So it's always interesting playing new coordinators week one, especially guys that weren't promotions from within. The Eagles are playing a coordinator, Jeff, it's like Halfley or Hefley, I forget his last name, but he's been like a year in San Fran and then like the last five or six years been in college and it's like, you know, what is this guy going to do? It'll be interesting.
Starting point is 01:03:26 I don't really know what to expect. You know, the Packers for the most part have been a three four system as of late and this guy's kind of got a lot of stuff in his in his veins. So it'll be interesting to see what it looks like. Well the best thing the best thing is he's got a lot of talent around him baby. No doubt. And he's got a big offensive line that's going to be able to run the ball. So it's one thing if it was all on him, but I think he's got a lot of guys that he can
Starting point is 01:03:53 help him along the way. Half the battle is just getting that ball in their hands, man, and letting them be special themselves. I mean, you already said big offensive line, then we signed Saquon Barkley. Like, dude, I mean, it's... And then you look at the weapons outside, there's a ton of talent in Philadelphia. I just think that they're going to, I think they're going to answer the bell so well this year. I went up to Sierra Leone and he's like, yeah, but we Dallas and we're shit up for my guy, Dallas Goddard.
Starting point is 01:04:16 He's a, he's a slept on guy. Not a lot of the general public realize Dallas is a stud. People in Philadelphia know, but he's got all the tools. He's a sneaky, sneaky savvy route runner. He's he's got that wiggle. When you turn on that film, you see it, man. Yeah, exactly. It might not be in the stat book as much but when you turn on that film, you see it man. For sure. All right. Well, Eagles down in Brazil Friday night. How about that? The Packers? How about it, man? Eagles play the Packers down in Brazil Friday night. How about that? The Packers. How about it, man?
Starting point is 01:04:47 Eagles play the Packers down in Brazil on Friday night. Can't wait to see that one. São Paulo. And shout out to the birds. That's all I got. Is he about to say something? No. All righty.
Starting point is 01:04:59 Let's get to the multi-view week one preview. How about that? Last order of the business before the NFL season rolls out, we got to decide which games are putting on our NFL Sunday ticket multiview. Okay, now, that's right. Because thankfully, we've partnered with our friends at NFL Sunday ticket and YouTube TV. And with multiview, we can now watch up to four games at once. All right, which games are we watching? Let's go through them.
Starting point is 01:05:23 What do you think, Trev? Week one games. Let's see. I'll pick my first one. So we got Panthers Saints at one o'clock. We got Steelers Falcons, Texans Colts, Cardinals Bills, Titans Bears, Jags Dolphins. All right. Panthers and Saints one o'clock.
Starting point is 01:05:42 Probably not watching this one. That's fucked up. I'm just being honest. I don't really. I'm interested to see Bryce Young, man. I'm interested to see Bryce Young take another take another leap. And then on top of that, my guys, Sir Bank over in New Orleans. We'll see. Probably not on my multi view, though. Steelers, Falcons.
Starting point is 01:06:00 I'm interested to see what the new Falcons look like. Russell Wilson. Yeah. His debut as a stealer. For some reason, he does look fitting in a stealer's uniform. The Broncos uniform was a little, I didn't see it. This one, I like them in the stealer's uniform. I kind of feel that. I kind of pick up what you're putting down. And then Kirk Cousins, baby. He's back with Reckless Abandon out there in Atlanta with the Falcons, man. They got a lot of young weapons. Hopefully they can get my guy, Kyle Pitts going again, man. Get that tight end going, man. Fourth overall pay for him two years ago or three years ago.
Starting point is 01:06:35 Still waiting to see him have just an absolute amazing year knowing that he had a thousand yards this rookie year. I'll be interested to watch this one. That one might be on it. I think that one might be on a Texans at Colts. You know what I think? I think this is gonna be a fun one, man. I think Anthony Richardson back with the Colts. Yeah, Texans young quarterbacks going at it. CJ Stroud in his second year. Obviously, Stefan digs a huge addition to that. I think this one's on it for sure. I think without question, the Texans are gonna be on the Multiview every week as long as CJ Stroud's playing because I think he's one of the best young
Starting point is 01:07:10 quarterbacks in the league. He's a stud. And I wanna watch what he's doing. And then obviously, you just talked about Anthony Richardson. The Colts are sneaky. They were good last year. Shane Steigman did a great job with them in year one. They could take a big step forward this year,
Starting point is 01:07:22 but it's gonna depend on how Anthony Richard comes back from injury and plays. So I'll be watching that one to see how that unfolds. For sure. Then we go our guy Alec Pierce fellow bear cat alum. Fellow bear cat. Cardinals at Bills. Cardinals at Bills.
Starting point is 01:07:39 I think this one's on mine because one, I get to watch my former defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon in his second year with the Cardinals. I know they got Marvin Harrison Jr., Philly native, love watching Marvin Harrison Senior. So that'll be fun to watch. But I'm more excited to see what the Bills offense looks like with Joe Brady now running more of that New Orleans style system. Very different than what they have done. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:04 I don't think that one's on there for me. I'm liking this Titans at Bears a little bit more than that one. Titans at Bears, you want to see Caleb Williams? I want to see what the rooks got, man, in his first game. I want to see what the Titans, the Titans made a lot of off season moves, man. They got a new head coach, they got a new secondary in Snead. They got new weapons in Calvin Ridley. I'll tell you what I'm looking forward to watching the Titans. They got Bill Callahan, offensive line legend. I don't know that I've ever seen a team that Bill Callahan has coached
Starting point is 01:08:36 that is not a dominant running game. He's been in Cleveland the last few years. Our native team, the Browns, they've been outstanding since he was there, especially up front. So I'm excited to see what the Titans look like with not in his, the reason he's with the Titans because his son is the head coach Brian Gallant. So that duo could be exciting to watch with the Titans, but very cool. What else have they done? Other, I mean, they made some moves, another Titan, another fellow Bearcat, but yeah, I'm definitely excited to see. The Bears offense, the pieces they've added, I mean, I really, I'm excited to see what Caleb Williams, I think they've done that right.
Starting point is 01:09:13 They have surrounded him with a ton of talent. I got Keenan Allen. And they've beefed up the offensive line. There's a lot of, it's a very conducive position for Caleb Williams to go into his first year in Chicago. So. There's a lot of juice, baby. There's a lot of juice over for Caleb Williams to go into his first year in Chicago. So there's a lot of juice, baby. There's a lot of juice over there in Chi town. So I'm thinking Jags and Dolphins are definitely in it for me. I owe Dougie P versus Mike McDaniel. I think the Battle of Florida is a legit game this year. I think the Dolphins come out hot and end up
Starting point is 01:09:42 getting them because of the speed and everybody being healthy. But Trevor Lawrence and Tua going at it. I think that'll be a good game to watch, man. It'll be interesting. I'm going to watch it because I'm looking forward to see what the Dolphins look like. They've lost a lot of people up front. And I feel like that system is so predicated on being able to run the football effectively. Now, it's a very offensive line friendly system. The Kyle Shanahan, you know, run play action deal. They're still so fast out on the perimeter. But if you can't establish the run, it's tough to get stuff going.
Starting point is 01:10:21 So I'll be looking to see what they look like. But you got Tyrico. So out of the one o'clock games, I'm going Texans Colts in Titans Bears in Jags Dolphins in and I'm going Steelers Falcons. I'm going Texas Colts Titans Bears. I guess I'm probably going Jags Dolphins. I got to turn on Dougie P if he's on there. So it comes down to Cardinals, Bills versus Steels and Falcons. Yeah, I'll go Cardinals, Bills. See what my man Jonathan Ganna looks like in the second year and then watching Josh Allen is never a bad idea. And then at four o'clock you could just have all the games that are on because there's
Starting point is 01:10:59 only four. You can. But do you? Brago, Seahawks, Raiders. Do you have to have four? Can you do two? You probably can just do three, to be honest. You can probably do three or two. Yeah. But it's two, is the picture bigger? I think it's the same picture. I feel like it's three, you just kind of have that awkward box that's kind of sitting blank.
Starting point is 01:11:16 No. It goes in like a tier system. It's like one big game and then two little ones? Yeah. It's the, what do they call it when it's like middle spacing? You're not all the way far left. You're like middle spacing. It's middle spaced. Brandon Borders with the hot take. One of those boxes can be red zone.
Starting point is 01:11:34 I think that's a good idea. When you're doing the multiview, you got to pick which broadcast you're listening to. And I know for sure I'm going to be listening to the Fox broadcast. So yeah, for the four o'clock games, you can have all of them on the multi view. But I will be highlighting the Cowboys Browns because that is going to be the debut of Tom Brady in the booth. And I cannot be more excited to listen to what he has to say. I'm with you on that.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Shout out. Where's Olson at? He's the bee booth game now. Yeah. Do you want to fucking go down that hole again? Well, I'm just saying what game is he going to be doing? So he's doing Washington. I'm kind of curious what this Jayden Daniels guy cat does. Alrighty. That's it for our breakdown of what we got going in week one. Remember with NFL Sunday ticket and U2 TV, you don't have to listen to us. You can choose which live NFL games you want to put on your multiview.
Starting point is 01:12:27 It's whatever you want. It's whatever you want. Like maybe a game is getting blown out. Maybe we're really excited for one of these games and all of a sudden the Dolphins are beating the crap out of the Jags. I don't want to say that for no reason. Maybe the Jags are beating the crap out of the Dolphins and you're turning off at halftime and you throw the Steelers Falcons game on
Starting point is 01:12:45 No, it's Tyreek Hill or maybe it's a really tight game with the Panthers and Saints And all of a sudden you do want to watch it. You can make all these games. I watch a good game Yeah, I want the closest games on my multiview. That's what I want. Unless it's the Chiefs Unless it's like a fucking three to three game going into the fourth quarter, then I do not put one. Yeah, it's like, isn't that an exciting game? That's not exciting. We got to watch a quarterback that can complete some passes.
Starting point is 01:13:11 All righty. All right. Now let's wrap this thing up with some no dumb questions brought to you by Mint Mobile, the smart answer to saving money on premium wireless. That's right, ladies and gentlemen, premium wireless network while saving money. You got to love it, man. Two things I would love to do. Jason tweeted asking for some no-dumb questions to start the season and we got almost 2000 replies. So shout out to the 92%ers. No-dumb questions is back and better than ever.
Starting point is 01:13:41 It's going to be tough to get through all of them. The first no dumb question comes from Bepar, B-E-P-A-R on X. Where are y'all's grandparents? Never bring up, you never bring up mamaw. Mamaw? Mamaw, where is she? And Jason replied with a very kind and straight to it, yes, comma, they're all dead. Unfortunately, our grandparents have passed. But if you were on X and you saw that come by your timeline, you got a good chuckle out of it. I guess. Maybe. They also just made fun of me because I used the wrong version of their, which I mean. Yeah, you did.
Starting point is 01:14:22 Yeah. They are. They are. You got to do the apostrophe. Jason, make sure you proofread it. You got to reread your tweets before you press send. You're an asshole. Why are you? All in the wrong. Nice. Or you just do that and not care. You know, we don't talk about mama because mama is not what we call our grandma. We call our grandmother grandma in the kiddies. That was what her name was. Grandma and the kitties, yep. Everybody's got their own nicknames.
Starting point is 01:14:50 Everybody uses their own specific. We call, let's see, why didn't the girls call Kylie's mom Nana? Nana, nice. They call Donna Dee Dee. Yeah. They call Ed Kylie's dad Skeeter and they call Ed, Kylie's dad, Skeeter. And they call Ed, our dad, Pop. Marshall Slauson Nice. Stan McPherson So, yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:11 Marshall Slauson I think dad kind of got the short end of the stick on all those nicknames right there but... Stan McPherson It's definitely the least creative. Marshall Slauson Yeah. Stan McPherson Grandma and the Kitties was, that was a good name. Marshall Slauson It was, it was. Stan McPherson She loved her some kitties. Marshall Slauson She had a bunch of them running around the house.
Starting point is 01:15:25 You know what my latest plan to divert our family from getting a cat is? I just keep telling our girls that cats are poisonous. And now they're in this world where they- Why would you tell them that? I swear to God I do. Why? So that they don't want cats and I don't have to deal with having a cat and make them terrified of them. That's sick. That's whatever. They'll find out.
Starting point is 01:15:50 I think lying to your kids is important. Not in this regard. I think it's great. I think it's genius. It's a genius toy. Every time they're gonna go over a friend's house and fucking scream bloody murder because they see a cat. That's fine.
Starting point is 01:16:01 That sounds like that person's house problem. You're a psycho. This guy's ridiculous. I got to get these kids on my side. Otherwise I'm in a sinking ship. They're like, Jason, cats are not poisonous. You grew up with a cat. Travis, I know they're not poisonous. I'm saying my girls don't. No, I'm saying why do you dislike cats so much? Kylie is like, they're not poisonous. Your dad is lying to you. I'm like, my girls don't know. I've got them in this world. They don't know what to believe. Kylie is like, they're not poisonous. Your dad is lying to you. I'm like, listen, if
Starting point is 01:16:29 you have a cat, the government will come and take it from you because it's, they're so lethal that I mean, they can kill you if they don't even have to bite you, just them licking you. You fear their tongue. It has little needles on it. And then I pull up pictures of a zoomed in picture on a cat's tongue and it looks like needles and it terrifies the fuck out of them. It's fucking great. You're fucking ridiculous. Why do you have it out for cats so much? You grew up with a cat. I don't know. I just don't want one. You know why. You just don't want to say it.
Starting point is 01:17:02 What's why? Why? I don't know. That's why I'm trying to get it. I'm trying to get to the bottom of this. No, I just don't want one. I just don't want a cat. I don't want another animal in the house. My dog's already ruined the furniture. There's some about cats that I don't like. I don't know. You can't name it. They're fine if they stay outside. I'll do an outdoor cat. I'm okay with an outdoor cat. I just, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:17:19 You're fucking ridiculous. All right, here we go. I think they're poisonous. All righty. next no dumb question. What color does Travis say his eyes are? What the fuck? Travis, you know that this has been the hot topic. Everybody wants to know because everybody- What?
Starting point is 01:17:35 How is this a hot topic? Everybody online says your eyes are green, but mom claims you have blue eyes. And I'm not going to lie, right now I'm zooming in, they kinda look blue. I'm telling you dude, they switch up on you. They're not blue. It depends on what kind of day I'm having. Travis, if you look up most of the pictures. It depends on what kind of day I'm having.
Starting point is 01:17:53 You have, what's that called? Hetachromia or whatever? It switches from like a bluish turquoise to like a light greens for the most part. I think they're grayish, which makes them sometimes look blue. They got some gray, yeah. I think they're grayish, which makes them sometimes look blue. They got some gray. Yeah. If you really get up close, it's like a blue, yellow, gray mixture. Travis, I've been looking at you my whole life. You have green eyes. That's
Starting point is 01:18:18 what it says on my driver's license. Exactly. So why does our mother, a woman who gave birth to you, not know what color your eyes are? What has shifted in her mind that makes her think that you have blue eyes? Because I was a fucking blonde haired kid when I was a baby. This is the thing, I think you were, as a baby, sometimes your eye colors will be different and then it'll change as you get older. Yeah. That's the only way it makes sense that mom still thinks you have blue eyes.
Starting point is 01:18:42 Yeah. And right now I have blue eyes. Look at them. They're kind of green though. Look at the green back there and then look at my eyes. You're going to see blue. I will say they do look bluer right now than they usually do, but they still look green to me. Yeah, my eyes are green. Mom, I don't know. They might have been blue when I was a kid. I was a blonde haired kid growing up. I'm talking about straight blonde. I was a blonde-haired blue-eyed kid. How about that? And now I'm like a brown and gray hair and then a green and gray eye? You got a little red in that hair. Don't be going... I got red in that beard. There ain't no red in my hair. Last no-dumb question. Would you
Starting point is 01:19:18 rather chug a pitcher and then run wind sprints? No. Or eat 50 wings and hit the sled for 10 minutes? I'm assuming the pitcher is beer. And hitting a sled for 10 minutes? I might take- What's the difference? What do you mean? In terms of wind sprints and sled, what's the difference? I think a sled is more like you're like, it's like a weighted thing and wind sprints is just like you're running. I mean, this, I and wind sprints is just like you're running. I mean, this is like, God damn it. Just when you think there are no dumb questions.
Starting point is 01:19:50 Yeah, right. Just questions that make you feel dumb that you even have to answer them. I mean, chugging a pitcher and then running sounds awful. It sounds stupid as fuck. I found like, it sounds like I'd be very bloated. Chugging a pitcher sounds exhausting. Yeah, I mean, we've done it, but it's done it before. But it's it's always like I regret it.
Starting point is 01:20:09 Yeah, you're about to throw up. Oh, well, now I don't need a drink for the rest of the night. But I might choose wind sprints just because I feel like it's like both of these sound pretty miserable. Hitting a sled for 10 minutes doesn't sound terrible. I don't like hitting a sled for one minute. I think it's, sleds are some of the most like overused pieces of equipment on a football field.
Starting point is 01:20:30 I think they're, give me a guy with a bag any day of the week. I fucking hate hitting sleds. I just do. I'll hit a Crowther sled. That's about the only one I like hitting. There's something about hitting something as hard as you can that I just have a love for. So you like hitting the sled?
Starting point is 01:20:44 I like hitting the sled. I like hitting a golf ball. I like hitting a baseball. I like taking a huge slap shot on the ice. I just like hitting shit as hard as I can. We're talking about drastically different things. It's all the same. You're the impact. I like to hit things at a very high impact. You can hit somebody with a holding a bag at that same impact level. Okay. I like that too. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:08 But I'm, I don't like sled. This really comes down to, I think sleds for the most part are a gigantic waste of time. I'd rather hit somebody with a bag. There's like one sled I think is actually that functional and that's a Crowther sled that teaches your hips how to function and fire off into something really well. I don't really like most football sleds. I'd rather hit a guy with a bag that moves and it feels like I'm actually striking an individual, not like a piece of metal that doesn't move or operate on the same planes that a football player does. That's fair.
Starting point is 01:21:39 So I guess I'd chug a pitcher and run wind sprints. Because I feel like at least I'd get something out of the wind sprints that I'd appreciate, which is conditioning. Yeah. You'd get out the pitcher of beer that you just chugged. It'll come right out of you. I mean, I'd chug it after the first wind sprint, then I get back to run a wind sprint. It wouldn't be my first time I'd thrown up and run more wind sprints. Spoken like a true warrior. Shout out to those college wind sprints. That's the only time anything would ever make me want to throw up while I ran.
