Oh God, oh God, oh God. How do we start? How do we start?
Welcome back to another episode to another.
Welcome back to another episode of New Heights.
We are not Jason and Travis.
We are not your host, Jason and Travis Kelsey.
We are back with another countdown episode here for the preseason to get you guys excited about a list to argue about.
Today on our top 92 moments, we are counting down clips 70 to 40.
That is a lot of clips. We don't have a lot of time to waste.
Jake, let's kick it off right here.
Number 70.
One of the greatest lies ever told, cats are poisonous.
Maybe.
We're not sure.
You and I are not scientists.
Cats are poisonous, Jason Kelsey.
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 of them.
That's whatever.
They'll find out.
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 boy.
They're going to go over a friend's house and fucking scream
bloody murder because they see a cat.
That's fine.
That sounds like that person's house problem.
You're a psycho, man.
This guy is ridiculous.
I got to get these kids on my side.
Otherwise, I'm in a sinking ship.
You grew up with a cat, dude.
Travis, I know they're not poisonous.
I'm saying my girls don't.
Why do you dislike cats so much?
Kylie is like they're not poisonous.
Your dad is lying to you.
I'm like, listen, if you have a cat,
the government will come and take it from you because it's they're so lethal i mean they can kill you
they don't even have to bite you just them licking you 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 fucking great you're fucking ridiculous as a soon-to-be dad i've learned so
much fatherly advice from jason this is you can just lie to your kids just lie to your kids
Yeah, just lie to your kids.
I don't remember what I was lied to about, but I'm sure it was something.
I mean, I still think it's illegal to drive with the lights on inside your car.
I think that's a universal parent lie.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Yeah, yeah, cops pull you over because it means you're doing something illegal in the car if the lights on,
and that is something you do believe.
And all it is is playing Pokemon in the backseat.
See, I feel like my parents always just lied to me about like when stuff was open.
Can we go to this?
I go, that's closed.
And there was no way to like look that up.
And I was like, man, that's crazy.
that like that store closes at 5.30.
I can't house his profit with Frito L.A.
Anyways, clip.
Yeah, speaking of Jason and his kids,
one of the most adorable moments from the last season
was Ellie crashing our Randy Moss episode.
Jason, when it was time for you to call it quits,
what's the number one thing in your mind
you knew you were going to miss about the game?
I knew I was going to miss competing.
Okay.
You see, is Ellie in the background?
This is so funny.
Do you go upstairs, room?
No.
Why not?
Is that the oldest one?
This is my second.
You say hi to the greatest receiver ever to play football?
Say hi to Randy Moss.
Hi, Randy Maugh.
Hey, baby.
It's so epic.
Hello, sweetheart.
How are you?
Oh, that was gold, man.
Bye.
Man.
Love you.
I love you.
I love you.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Okay, baby.
Nice.
I mean, just adorable.
I mean, the kids have great timing.
I keep saying, because the kids have good comedic timing for when to interrupt the podcast.
They are savants at interrupting when it's both acceptable and very funny.
Randy Moss also, just the coolest guy.
I have been a Randy Moss fan forever.
Randy Moss is the coolest man alive.
Love you, Uncle Travis.
Love you, Randy Moss.
Love you, Randy Moss.
Just an incredible line.
You can't write that.
Yeah.
Moving on to number 68.
I take all the credit for starting this horseshit debate.
And I'm now sick of this debate and want to go away.
This is my Frankenstein's monster.
Is the NFL versus NBA player debate, which player could play in which league?
I think we started that.
I'm going to declare that we started that.
This is the clip of the first time this came up with Travis, you know, obviously thinking he could probably get some good minutes in the NBA.
We know that NBA guys could definitely play in the NFL.
Yeah, for sure.
Okay.
Is the reverse, do you think there's NFL players that could play in the NBA?
Outside of the guys that, like, made the transition from basketball?
Because there's guys that make that transition all the time.
I'm talking about, yeah, guys that have played basketball for all that.
Yeah, I would say Jimmy Graham could have definitely played in the NBA.
I see, no.
No.
Not a, he would have played in the NBA.
This is my argument.
There's guys that rebound that just come in for rebound.
Yeah, but all of those guys were.
Block shots.
All of those guys were better NBA players and better basketball players.
See, but that's the thing.
They earned the right to be a rebounder and a role player on an NBA team by still being
great basketball players before that.
I'm not going to disagree that there are NFL players that could play a role on an NBA team.
I just don't think any of them are good enough to play in the NBA.
Otherwise, they'd be playing in the NBA.
It's that simple.
Every NFL player would rather play in the Olympics.
But at the same time, would you rather be an end-of-the-bench guy in the NBA or be a star tight-end in the national football league?
I'd rather be an end-of-the-bench guy in the NBA.
What do you talk about?
That sounds like a great gig.
I'm going to come on and play like barely any minutes.
Just play a little bit of defense rebound.
I don't even have to shoot.
Yeah, give me a 10-day.
Let me see what I got there.
Yeah, that sounds like a great gig.
Travis used to have tickets courtside to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
And early in my career, I went down there.
and I sat court side, watched LeBron.
I think they were playing.
I think LeBron James.
You saw LeBron James.
I think Kyrie was still on the team.
Another one.
There were some beasts.
There were some beasts on there.
Just unbelievable athletes.
Athletes, you see them play and you see them move and you're like, that's not regular.
It wasn't just them, Travis.
It was the whole thing.
I'm sitting there and I think when you're on the same level of these guys.
You got impressed by Zerunosilgous.
When you're on the same level as these guys,
It is a whole other world.
You really get a grasp for how tall they are and how, not just that, how tall, how fast, but how coordinated they are.
Dude, it's crazy.
The amount of body control, footwork, hand-eye coordination, the athleticism level of NBA talent.
I mean, it's not even close.
Yeah.
And maybe it's because I play offensive line and I'm around a bunch of fat guys all day and it's way different.
but I have not seen that caliber athlete in an NFL uniform yet.
Just saying.
Yeah, it felt like after this came up on the show,
the next week of first take was like one NFL guy and one NBA guy.
And they, like, it was everywhere.
If you want to know the answer to this debate,
go look at the photo of Jalen Brown at the Eagles practice standing next to Jalen Hertz.
Go look at it.
Jalen looks normal sized.
And I can guarantee you he's not.
That's the answer to the question.
There is no NFL player who's getting quality minutes in the NBA.
I'm sorry.
It's not happening.
All right.
Keeping it moving because we got a lot of moments to talk about this episode.
This has been by far the most surreal experience for me as a member of the show.
Put another one of your clips on the list, did you, Jay?
You put this on the list.
There's really, really no way to explain this.
We can get into some of the backstory after the clip rolls.
But this is Kaysen Barrett joining the show as we pay all.
off our Jets Jake tattoo bat.
All right.
We do have one very special stamp of the week to hand out.
Oh, man.
That's right.
We said if anyone got a Jets Jake pinup tattoo,
they could be on the show.
And turns out we had a fan crazy enough to do this.
Let's go.
Wild man.
Joining us today.
Show them his face.
Show us your face.
We are men of our words.
So here, to receive a special stamp of the week,
please welcome.
Cason Barrett!
Let's go!
Let's go, dude.
Never in a million years that I think I'd have
my name on that intro, so thank you for that.
Come on, man.
Hell yeah, brother.
You deserve it, man.
You earned it with stupidity, bravery, whatever you want to call it.
How many tattoos do you have?
I've got quite a few.
You see your sleeved up a little bit on the arm, yeah.
Okay.
Are most of your tattoos pinups?
Yeah, not all but one.
Got a sleeve?
So I got, you know, the cross.
Oh, nice.
the cross, yep. Yes. And then we got, you know, the fame one everybody wants to see.
I see this. I see this. Yeah, look at that sexy guy. It's a little generous on the body right
there. You're telling me, man, I think the whole thing was generous. We got a better picture
of it right here so we can show the people. There you go. What has been the reaction to the jet
shake tattoo that you've gotten from other people? It's been absolutely insane. My mom is so
proud but disappointed.
She's so disappointed.
She's a saint, man.
I don't know how I'd react.
You showed mom?
That's hilarious.
Oh, yeah.
Day one.
I'm in my 20s.
You know, I'm young and dumb.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Maybe I can make this 15 minutes of fame last 30.
Who knows?
I got to send it.
Oh, yeah.
Do I have some fun, man?
You sent it.
You definitely sent it.
Are you a Jets Jake fan?
Jets Jets.
Why don't you come on in, man?
Let's get them.
Let's get them.
Get on our.
I'll tell you what, if I didn't know any better, you two look like brothers.
I know.
This guy looks like he could produce the show between me, him and Brandon.
It's just three white duts of beards.
You kind of look like brothers.
I'll take it.
And you can pass that tattoo off on your own as soon as this is done.
But I'm truly honored.
Thank you for making me look way more Jack than I am in person.
It was very nice and generous.
Yeah, this whole thing has been very surreal.
It's nice to finally get to meet you, bud.
Yes, sir, you too.
I appreciate you not thinking I'm too totally, you know, weird for having a net conversion
of you on my now, you know, opportunity to kind of knocking.
Well, just to be clear, I think you're extremely weird and I love it.
You'd be right.
It's the right kind of weird.
That's precisely why you're here.
We're on board.
So when this started.
The pin-up tattoos.
Someone got a pat-a-a-a-pin-up tattoo of Jason.
Which makes sense.
Which makes sense.
That actually tracks completely, that somebody in Philly would do this.
that, yes.
Then someone got a pin up tattoo of Travis, which makes even more sense and, like, was encouraged.
We did kind of encourage somebody to do that.
Yeah, that's kind of on us.
This started as a joke because we were like, no one will ever fucking do this.
And then someone did it.
And then we found the one guy who said, I got space on the leg.
As Kaysen was like posting to the New Heights Reddit that he was going to do this, this is a little backstory.
I reached out to him and I was like, hey, man, like, this is really funny.
you don't have to do this.
Sincerely, it's good.
And he was like, ah, no, it's funny.
It's funny.
I was like, all right.
I was at my mom's house at the time when he posted the tattoo and I showed her.
She was like, where does this child need a mother?
Like, where is this?
I need to correct this person's life choices who just got a thigh tattoo of my son.
But I've since met him and he is a lovely human being.
So shout out.
That is actually the most shocking thing about this is that you meet him and that you he's normal.
Like we were all very worried to have him on.
We were like, this is not, this is going to be very uncomfortable.
But he's actually quite normal and pleasant.
I don't know what to say.
Shout out to you.
Shout out to the 92 percenters.
This is why we do it because you guys are the best fans in the world.
And we can stop this bit right now.
This is that he won.
Please nobody else.
Tattoo yourself for the show.
Unless someone wants to get a Brandon tattoo.
Please, I'm not going to say don't, but go for it.
I promise you nothing in return.
But yeah, go for it.
Number 66, another Kylie, Kelsey.
We have sprinkled Kylie throughout the list.
This is Kylie on to this is her describing her first time skiing.
I'm assuming most people have skied.
I had never even clipped into skis before or been in skiing boots.
They have like a tilt forward so that you're constantly sort of on your toes.
Quads are burning. Quads are burning for sure.
Here's the problem with that.
If you try to sit down, your butt does not touch the ground.
Nope.
I found that out the hard way when I got off the ski lift and immediately tried to bail onto my ass.
Can't go back.
You got to go side.
No.
No.
I must have been in a aerodynamic, like fully folded down, aerodynamic.
position for a good 10 seconds before I was like, it's not working and had to bail out sideways.
There you go.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
That was the moment I should have turned around.
I should have gotten my ass right back on that ski look.
No.
The problem is that I love a challenge.
Yeah.
I love a challenge.
See?
And if someone's like physically, you should be able to do this, I'm like, then I can do it.
And that is exactly what happened.
And you did it.
And you did it.
I will say, I think you were.
I think you said it took me 45 minutes to get down that mountain.
I think you were being generous.
I think it took me like a good hour.
Maybe a little more.
I was being extremely generous.
Kylie, we got to the bottom.
We got to the bottom in the hill 45 minutes before you did.
That's what I'm saying.
I think, yeah.
I'll tell you what.
I had like five beers by the time I was at the bottom of that hill when we finally saw you like in plain sight.
That was the worst.
That was the scariest part because at the time.
where everybody all of the hills like merged and i was like there's a lot of traffic at the bottom
and i don't know how she's going to handle this yeah i'm not like a lot i got all the binoculars
and was ready for there was there was one period it was there was one there was one
there was one steep there was one steep drop off uh probably like 25 30 minutes in yeah
and it was a pretty short like short part of the hill but i think it's where we had like the
there was a mountain i need you to i need to stop calling it a hill
I think it was the moment where Jason was like,
we're not waiting for you.
And I was going and veered left.
And if you veered too far left,
you were going off the edge of the mountain.
Yeah.
And I had this moment of,
I don't think I should be here.
I never saw that.
It was like a drop off.
I do remember.
It was trees and then a drop off.
It was a steep ass drop off too.
I remember that.
Yes.
And that was the moment I went sideways on the edge of the hill mountain and looked up at the clouds and was like, I think I should have gotten back on the ski.
Not to mention, I've had, like Jason said, I was in pizza the whole way down.
I've had two hip surgeries.
I'm not equipped to be at that angle for that long while pushing against the snow.
It was hot mess expressed down the hill, mountain.
Listen, her whole premise is places that she has no business being,
and one of those is the top of a mountain.
The top of a mountain.
She's on theme.
God bless you, Kylie.
We should get you out doing more sports.
This is another tangentially Kylie-related moment.
Sure, it is.
She is not out here.
Number 65, Jumanji has a turn-on.
How does a man handle that when your wife is the only,
woman you're allowed to have sex with,
but she doesn't want to.
And I'm not one to cheat.
I never have been. That's good.
So, I mean, you know,
give me some advice here, fellas.
Well, yes.
Well, I'm hard to say.
Thank you very much for,
for calling in.
My God, Leon Phelps.
Tim Meadows would tell you
to start doing it in the butt.
I would personally
mention that I have no idea
what that is.
Yeah, I think this is a hard one.
Hmm.
wear some really skin tight pants.
Oh, show off then thighs and glows.
Show it off.
Sometimes they just want to see the goods.
And I don't know what you're working.
If you have a big rear end, if you have a big rear end,
just put some tight pants on and just start doing work where it's nice up in the air
and she has to look at it.
If you got a nice bulge, maybe you've been blessed with that.
Just, you know, nice tight pants where it's hanging down the side of the leg.
I don't know what you've been blessed with, but show off.
what she finds attractive in you.
You probably know what that is.
Beat her to the punch.
Do some shit that you know you're supposed to be doing without her asking.
Beat her to the punch.
Let her know.
Like, listen, baby, I'm trying.
Maybe if you're on the TV, put something on that like just really, you know is going to get
her revved up and going.
Like, you know, she's into, you know, Baywatch or she's got a thing.
She's got a thing for a specific actor.
It's okay.
It doesn't have to be you that's getting her excited.
Like sometimes they just get excited watching stuff.
And maybe she's into the rock.
And you guys just have.
to watch you guys just happen to watch uh that kevin heart movie that the rock in him is in with
i forget what it's called but you know what's going i'm talking about whatever rock movie it is jumanji
just watch jimani maybe she's in the jungle and muscular men yeah go out and try and roll play one
night you know see what see if she's up for that or go to spencers and get some fucking sex stuff
man i don't know yeah there's all yeah you can also go that's right you can go all like kink it up
yeah go back find a way to just like hey we're gonna it's got a
The experiment.
Look at this thing I just bought.
Who knows?
Where does it go?
We'll find out.
I'll never look at that movie the same again.
What's funny is we, I believe this is one of the first times we started doing like relationship advice.
And I remember immediately people were like, do more of it.
And I went, oh, God, no, we've like, we've done something here.
This is not, this can't be good.
Jesus, hopefully that couple's doing great.
Um, number 64.
Back, back to a debate or a running theme of the show that has come up quite often.
This is the first time we all learn this about Travis.
Uh, his aversion to tubular meats.
You don't eat sausage?
I'll do like a sausage paddy.
Brat worst.
Like a breakfast sausage.
You don't do any tubular shaped meats?
I'll do sausage on like a pizza.
You know what I'm saying?
Travis.
Pepperoni and sausage pizza.
You won't eat a kibasa?
I'll do sausage and like a pasta.
I'll do some like bowl.
when they use.
You won't eat like a hot dog.
I'm out, Jason.
I'm out.
So you'll eat it in paddy form, but not the tubular form.
Is there a reason why you won't eat it in the tubular form?
How does it get in a tube?
It's called a casing.
That's disgusting.
So it's just the casing part.
It's not the shape of it.
I know what you're kidding, too.
I love sausages.
Sometimes I don't even chew them.
I just swallow them right down my gullet.
When we all learn this, I think it did bring everybody to a screeching hall.
It did sort of like shut down all of our brain.
for like 10 minutes like hot dogs.
The guy's opinions on food are staunch and entrenched and very, very funny.
They do not budge.
They should have their own separate food podcast, but if not, I'm glad that they'll
discuss those things here.
All right, keep it moving.
Number 63, Travis's Al Bundy game.
We got to talk about the elephant in the room.
You scored four touchdowns.
I don't know if you remember.
No, I remember them all.
But during the game, I was like, man, I really do have three touchdowns right now going
into the fourth, the drive for the fourth touchdown.
But like I was saying, I mean, the four touchdowns are cool and all.
But it was how we got to the red zone that I got really excited about, man.
Yeah, you had four touchdowns, but only 25 yards receiving.
If that isn't the most selfish stat I've ever seen in my life, let me do zero work
and just show up and get all the glory.
I'm going to go dance in the end zone.
Time out, man.
I'm out.
I didn't dance one fucking time because I was dog shit tired.
They were all 10, 11, 12 play drives where I was getting double-teamed, bracketed by two DBSs,
as well as them putting Chandler Jones and Crosby and Farrell.
They were butching you were.
I mean, I don't know if you saw the podcast.
I was trying to get jiggy out there, man.
No, I haven't seen the broadcast.
But Josh McDaniels at halftime literally said their entire game plan essentially was to stop you.
I'm not making that up.
You're the guy in the class project that doesn't show up the entire time
and then just shows up on the day of the papers do.
What are you guys need me to do?
I'm here.
I'm here.
You want me to say a joke?
I can get everybody.
A plus.
Good job, group.
Group effort.
The other thing I had a problem with is after the game, you said those touchdowns are for you, mom.
Okay?
First of all, it was for mom's birthday.
Mom's birthday was on the ninth, not the 10th, so you're a day late with your touchdowns.
Okay.
And second of all, who are, why do you think you can buy mom's love with touchdowns?
That is insulting to mom.
You can't buy mom's love with touchdowns.
I'm slowly, I'm like, Mom, I can't give you kids quite yet, but I can give you touchdowns.
Mom is a-
How's four of them?
How's four of them sound mom?
Do you love me?
Please say you do.
No, she was in attendance.
She loved it.
She said, thank you when I saw her in the suite afterwards.
Of course she loved it.
Well, I guess we're just going to have to keep popping out grandkids to compete before
touchdown games.
It was one of the first times that I remember people being or feeling the enthusiasm
to tune into the show.
Like people really wanted to hear Travis talk about scoring four touchdowns while only
having like, I think, less than 20 yards receiving.
He had seven receptions for 25 yards.
and four touchdowns.
What a jerk.
He said, I'm keeping it between the 15s, boys.
The thing you get when you're on a podcast with your brother
is the guy being like, seven catches for 25 yards,
you selfish.
Yeah, that's very selfish.
That's Jason's immediate reaction.
How selfish is that?
Which, fantastic, fantastic.
Number 62, a Brandon moment makes its appearance on the list.
Oh, you're a part of this.
Was basket weave.
Go ahead.
Well, should we just roll the clip?
Roll the clip.
I don't remember what.
I said during it. I remember Jason. Have you heard Andy say tickling tautils before?
Never heard him say that one. No, that's a new one. He's the first one. He's got a bunch of bangers in
his pocket, though, man. He's got so many. And he's been doing this for so long, man. He knows which
ones really get the people going. The right one to pull out. Exactly. I've never heard Andy
rip it like that. I loved it. I'm fired up. Well, the thing is, Andy didn't mean it like that.
Andy was just trying to say shove the ball down the throat, which he will say. What are other,
like, sexual, like, uh, metaphors that coaches of,
used in the past.
The one that I've always heard is,
you take these big ass dick beaters you got
and you put them into that
the chin middle of the chest.
That's one of my favorite.
Dick beaters is a great all-timer.
You ever heard that one?
Have I?
Yeah.
Such a long way to just say hands.
Yes.
You can't just say something.
You need to say something that registers something in your head.
If you say like, hey, put your hands in his chest,
it's like, I don't even,
that's already out in my fucking brain.
You tell me to put my dick beaters inside of his chest,
I'm remembering you telling me to put my dick beaters in his chest.
I'm not going to forget that one.
Oh, my hands.
How'd you know?
I really only have one dick beater.
Are you guys using both?
They start looking around the room.
Time out.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, beat her.
You guys are going lefty?
No, no, no.
Same time.
Same time.
Same time.
Yeah.
I'm a bad.
I'm asking you we've got myself.
I sent this clip to make sure.
I sent this clip to Jason to be like, hey, like, just want to make sure we're good.
he's like, let me have Kylie look at it.
Kylie looked at and he goes,
it is a long clip for you guys just talking about jerking off.
But it's funny, so I think you're okay.
I didn't know that got Kylie's approval.
That's very funny.
I apologize for nothing.
Stuff happens.
We record it.
We show it to you.
I don't know.
I'll tell you.
I'm keeping to move into 61.
Man, yeah, Little Dickie.
Kind of like an underrated episode, in my opinion.
I feel like he slid under the radar is like a great guest.
Super funny guy.
Great episode.
If you haven't watched it, go back and watch it.
It's, you know, it's ever-a-ne.
This is his, one of my favorite stories.
This is one of my favorite stories anybody's ever told.
This is when he was disrespected during a celebrity basketball game.
Another story I've never told that just came into my head that's perfect for this moment.
Oh, my gosh.
Celebrity basketball game.
Ooh.
It was like Floyd Mayweather, Snoop Dog, Chris Brown, like John Wall.
It was like stacked.
And I had no mainstream.
I had like a couple of viral.
I don't know how I got in the game to the point where I actually put a lot of stock and import in this game that I got there an hour early to warm up.
Because I literally thought like a way that I could like get ahead in this like industry faster will be like scoring 30 points in this game.
And I've seen so many celebrity games where I'm like, these guys suck, you know?
And so I was excited to go there and really, you know.
And a few things happened.
One, I'm there warming up by myself, and Chris Brown walks in.
He can move.
First time I ever saw Chris Brown.
And so I'm like blown away by like just seeing him.
He walks right up to me.
And he goes, you're a dope rapper.
And I was like, and it was so early, Mike, I would never expect him to know who I am.
And like to have like an icon in the music industry who has like countless like number.
It's just like him saying that to me meant everything.
That was the impetus of Freaky Friday us meeting there.
That's step one.
That's like the least important part of the story.
Then we play in with it.
The game starts.
I'm not in the starting line.
I'm nowhere close.
It's like, you know, it's the people I named.
My coach is John Wall.
The way he, the way he, well, not actually.
Because the way John Wall went about operating his team was he, he did five in, five out.
So he had starting five, then he just.
So complete subs.
Yeah.
So I'm in the next five.
I'm told to get Chris Brown.
So I walk up to Chris.
And I go like, yo, I'm in for you.
And he goes, I'm not coming out.
Oh, that's awkward.
And then there's 11 guys on the court.
Everyone is like matched.
Like, I'm clearly the odd.
I look to John Wall.
Can you help?
For direction.
Coach, like, and he goes, John Wall goes like,
and he brings me back over.
First thing I say is like, John, like, get a grip and like have some like authority on your team.
It's just like humiliating it to like send me out there.
and then pull me back in.
It's like so emasculating.
This is so good.
And then they're playing and then I get in like the next five or whatever.
I get in the game.
I get in the game.
I get the ball.
I drive aggressively.
I go up.
I get to the rim.
I get fouled so hard by Deonté Wilder.
At the time heavyweight champion of the world.
Dude, like everyone, like everyone like like,
like everyone like the whole.
gym went like like because I thought like I like really got hurt I I think the I don't know it
didn't really hurt that much I took it in the moment yeah oh my god I get up I miss two free
throws and then I play one more meaningless minute and then I just didn't even I like move to the
end of the bench and just chose not to you make myself available for the rest of the game
but that was a real like there was like several different moments in there that felt like
like welcome to the industry that was like the first time I think I ever like like was on like
giddy images you know what I mean when it was like like watermarked images you know what I mean it was like
like watermarked images you know what I mean it was like like watermarked images
images of like me talking to Snoop.
So good.
Yeah.
I don't want to like restate the clip too much because it just played, but there are so many
funny beats in that from the fact that he got fouled by Deontay Wilder to John Wall not
knowing how to coach.
Great storyteller.
Great episode.
Season two, go back and check that one out.
All right.
Stick him with a basketball theme, one of our favorite basketball guests we've ever had on
the show.
This is Shaq breaking down his favorite dunks of all time at number six.
There's two of them.
And I actually just seen this dude the other day, Chris Dudley.
Nice.
I took it as a sign of respect when you didn't double me.
And I don't even know who was on me.
Like, you know, that's what I'm like, I know this ain't fucking Chris Dudley.
So I take one little dribble to double.
He's trying to.
I take one dribble like, the fuck?
I take two dribble.
I even carry you on the second.
I was like, oh, these motherfuckers not coming?
Now I got to take that.
And then just drop step and then boom.
And like, he was all on me.
And I was like, fuck off me.
And then my second favorite dunk was game seven.
Portland is kicking ass.
So we come to the timeout on the fourth quarter on Phil Jackson.
Remember I told you used to like mine, play with turbines?
Yes.
All right, guys.
Great year.
They're kicking your ass.
I'll see you next year.
Kobe's pissed.
He said it.
I'm like, man, fuck that.
Let's go on a little run.
So we're going on a run.
Kobe's in Kobe mode.
He's getting to the hole.
Two people, three people.
He don't care.
He's no he has to score.
And I'm telling him the whole time, hey, man, that fucking lob is open.
We made kind of eye contact.
I won't say he winked at me, but he looked at me, and he crossed Scotty up at the top of the key.
He crossed Scotty up and he got in the middle lane and he threw the motherfucker up too high.
And I had to go get it.
Right there, throwing up, Kobe.
Oh!
Yeah, Cope.
Good pass.
Yes, sir.
That one right there.
That place is fucking rocked.
I'll say this one gets a little extra love for me because, and I'm going to put this in the audio.
This is only for the audio listeners.
And do not stench me out.
that was some wild copyright infringement we did in that episode.
Shaq was yelling at me to show his highlights and I didn't want to tell him like,
I don't know if I can, Shaq.
Brandon, roll the clip.
Yeah, Brandon, roll the clip.
I said, that sounds legal to me.
I'm rolling it.
This episode made you the guy in the green fucking shirt.
That is the guy in the green fucking shirt.
Yes, Shaq.
Thank you for the nickname.
Number 59.
This is, I think this is our first clip from the first episode.
Like, on this list.
Oh, first club from episode one on this list.
This is the first appearance of episode of one,
which is a fascinating episode of Go Back and Watch.
I did that recently.
This is how Jason spent his offseason.
Highlight of my off season was going to see my cows in Missouri.
The Show Me State.
They showed me some cows.
What got you into that?
I think going to Cousins Farm growing up in West Virginia.
So I bought 11 cows.
We had nine calves and I went out there for calving in branding,
guys on horses,
lassoes,
roping them,
tying them down,
a piece of hot iron in the fire.
This isn't funny, man.
I'm not going to lie,
it was intense.
Did you?
Oh, yeah.
You do the branding,
and then you also got to castrate
the ones that you're not going to keep his bulls.
You city slicker you, man.
There's two ways you do it.
Either one,
you do the banded method,
and the band cuts off the blood supply
and the nuts just fall off.
I'm out.
Where are we even going with this?
I don't want to know about how you did this.
this off season. Have you cut it Bulls Nuts off? No, I don't think you have.
A little behind the scene story for this now that we've brought this clip. Give him some BTS.
Give them some BTS. First episode we ever recorded the show. Didn't know what the show was going to be.
No idea. Didn't really understand how the processes would work. We were recording this like around or over Labor Day weekend.
We hit record and we put it out. What do you mean you didn't understand? We were on vacation for celebrating my wife's birthday.
And I was so like the show came up, it came up quick. I was like, I'm so sorry I have to work during our vacation.
We were in like a tiny little Airbnb.
And she came back because she had like gone out to like a farmer's market or something.
She came back and I'm cackling at my computer.
And she was like, what is going?
What are you watching?
What is going on?
And I was like, I think we're going to have a pretty funny show.
This was a moment where Brandon and I were like texting each other.
Like I think this is what the show is.
I'll be honest.
You know, we kind of put some stuff in the first ever like rundown that was just like, you know,
we knew Travis had done like cool celebrity stuff.
We wanted to talk about that.
and watching Jason get visibly over it and being like, hey, hey, so I had my hand of a bull's ass, right?
And we're like, oh, here we go.
This is, this is, he is cutting off a cool golf story with wanting to talk about casserating bulls or what the fuck he was doing.
God damn it.
There's the bandit method.
And it also was just perfect because you had, like, not only was Jason telling this graphic story in full detail,
You have the foil of Travis just trying to slow his brother down,
but also being endlessly entertained by him.
There was also debate when we first did this episode.
Like, you know, we always kind of decide what to make into social clips.
And I remember the first meeting episode.
It was like, well, we got to do the bull thing first.
And everybody went, what are you fucking talking?
I'm like, this is the funny you ever seen.
Like, imagine if we opened this football show with a clip about bull testicles and that got voted down.
So I think it became the third second or third clip ever made.
But I thought that was the best moment of the episode was like,
what better way to define what this show is than it's two brothers fighting about castrating bowls.
I don't know what else are you expecting.
Sticking with season one, we've got a couple of season one clubs back to back to back here.
But coming in at number 58, maybe the most contentious debate we've ever had on the show,
is Waffle House a diner?
Trevor Lawrence celebrated his big win in Jacksonville by going to Waffle House.
I'm with the Waffle House last week.
Dude, Waffle House is tremendous.
What do you get at the Welf House?
What's your go-to?
Paddy Mill with the Hass Browns.
I'm All-American Breakfast.
Sausage, over easy.
I'm getting two waffles regardless.
The waffles are unbelievable.
I don't like fast food that's trying to be something that it's not.
Waffle House isn't fast food?
Well, it's the fast food of breakfast.
What?
What would you call?
It's a diner.
It's different than a diner.
It's a diner, but it's not a diner.
It's literally modeled after a diner.
I would not classify it as a diner.
I would classify it as a Waffle House.
You're calling it fast food and it's not fast food.
Have you ever been to a diner?
Yes.
It looks exactly like it.
Diner's are unique.
Like you're at Marty's Diner.
Let's have that as a fan vote.
Is Waffle House a Diner?
I don't think it's a diner.
100% of diner.
Is I hop a diner?
No, it's a full-on restaurant.
That's a loose term for a restaurant, if yes me.
Brandon, where do you land on this debate?
It's Waffle House is Waffle House.
It does not fit into any sort of,
category is a place outside of time and space.
It has its own legal system.
It has its own justice department.
It has its own, you know, if you've been to a Waffle House, you understand you walk in there.
You are sort of like in unincorporated territory.
You are in the Wild West.
You've adopted a whole new constitution while walking in there.
I do not consider it a diner.
I don't consider a restaurant.
So it's not fast food.
It's not a diner.
It is a place that producer Aaron Lourke still has to go to because he owes us like a shitton
waffles from losing the March Madness thing. Waffle bet that we've not forgotten about.
We haven't forgotten, Aaron. Just didn't have time to do it. Anyways.
Brandon, take us to number 57. Season one, our first live show in Kansas City, what a,
what a throwback. This is the moment we revealed Pat Mahomes to the audience.
Mike check. Ladies and gentlemen, you're a Super Bowl winning quarterbacks.
Yeah, you were in a big throw the football into the football.
the crowd mood.
You threw the first ball into the crowd through the second ball to the crowd.
And you were telling me before we got going on the show today that you were a little bit upset.
You threw that second touchdown into the crowd.
Fuck!
Because that was Chad Henney's first playoff touchdown pass.
I checked the stats.
I think it is his first touchdown pass in the playoffs.
And he's been in the league since 2008.
So I think that might be one that he would want to hold on to.
obviously wasn't thinking that when I scored, just got excited and said,
Woo-hoo!
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, um, we asked the Kansas City fan, if you could please return that ball so I could gift it to my guy.
That's a retirement gift.
And I'll tell you what, they are here today.
Come on.
I know, I know we're here.
Who's got the ball?
Where are you?
Show yourself.
Oh, yeah, baby.
You got a Chad Henny and you got a Travis Kelsey back onto the stage.
In a true quarterback fashion, we need you to throw this ball.
And you already know, we'll compensate you.
Can't say anything.
Throw it to Travis.
Let's see this form.
Throw it to Travis.
All right.
He's going right-handed.
Right-handed.
Chuck it.
He's always got her back.
He's always.
I appreciate it.
That's awesome.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, Chad Hennie and Pat.
I'm out.
Don't forget this one.
This is our first ever live show, which was insane.
Doing it in Kansas City around the draft after the Chiefs had won the Super Bowl
just could not have been a more perfectly timed thing.
But the reason this moment in particular, I think, makes the list for me because I think
we have another moment from this live show later on on the list, spoiler alerts.
But the reason that this one for me is because, you know,
I interact with a lot of our fans on social media
and being able to come full circle
from talking on the show about how Travis chucked
Chad Henny's only ever playoff touchdown throw
into the stands to four months later
having those fans show up to our live show,
get him the ball back, get them assigned ball.
Like, you know, that's just like building community
is like a really cool thing.
And that like that is the quintuinal.
essential example of why you want to do it. It's because you get to unite fans with players like
this and do not only a cool thing for the fan where they get to be a part of the show, but like,
I know for a fact, Chad Heddy appreciated the shit out of that. And so that was a really,
really cool moment for all of us. Number 56 from everyone's favorite episode. Are you doing
all the other ones? Are you just doing all of it? No, no, no, no. Oh, are you putting that in there now?
Yeah. I, that's, Jesus. So Jake, Jake, you're setting up all your
clips until it was interesting. It was just something I'm noticing, noticing.
You did two clips in a row earlier, which threw off her order. So you were technically
supposed to be doing this one, but that's fine. I will, I'll do it. With that short
temper, I don't know. I mean, fatherhood, I don't know. It's going to be tough on you, buddy.
I got to go to OBGYN soon. Well, keep moving. Number 56 from everyone's favorite episode.
This is Taylor Swift dropping some ball knowledge. Jason, on our first date, I literally,
I legitimately asked him, what?
it was like when the chiefs played the Eagles in the Super Bowl and he looked across the field
across the line of scrimmage and saw his brother standing on the other like five feet in
front of him on the field. Yeah. And he was like, he was and he didn't even, he didn't even
look at me. Like I now know what an insane question that was. He was like, actually, I'm on the
offense and my brother's on the offense and I'm only on the field at the same time as the defense.
I thought everyone was on there at the same time. I thought, I thought, I thought, I thought, I
thought that the quarterbacks. I mean, that's how you played it on the, on the playground growing up. So I understand if you hadn't like, no, you don't understand. I thought it was like, Jared Goff is here and Josh Allen's here. And they're going to be like, they blow a whistle and then they go at each other and they're like, er, and it's like, who's going to win? That's actually, I would love to see Jared Goff play some defense. Let's see Jared Goff on defense. I've got some ideas. I've got some thoughts. Yeah, I didn't know what a first down was.
I didn't know what the chains were.
I didn't know what a tight end was.
I am forever thankful for you diving into the football world, wholehearted.
Oh, my God.
I fell in love with it.
I became obsessed with it.
I became like a person who was running through the halls of my house screaming,
we drafted Xavier Worthy.
And my friends are like, what is, who body snatched you?
This is, this is, what do you mean?
We drafted Xavier Worthy.
I forget where I was, but you were the first person to tell me that we drafted the fastest
fan in the draft.
No, I was screeching.
I couldn't believe it.
I was freaking out.
We're talking about like, I'm like, wait, does she, she right?
I got to look this up.
I'm like, she, did she get the wrong information here?
But yeah, we traded up.
Yeah.
We're talking about cover two, cover four, cover zero, man, cover it.
We're talking, we're learning.
I continue to learn.
Maybe somebody else that even knows what those coverages are.
Yeah, I'm not ready to be an analyst right now.
That's been, yeah.
Give me 16 months.
You're going to pick up on it.
I'm telling you, you would ask some of the best questions when we were up in the booth.
And there's like your desire to learn more, but your genuine excitement around it as well as like your competitiveness.
She's not fucking around.
No.
Oh my God.
To be honest, I had the same reaction to the chief shripping.
Xavier Worthy.
I said, that's my guy.
It's my guy.
I said hook him.
I said hook him.
That became like a whole thing.
They showed that clip to Xavier.
Like they made it into.
They did.
did. That's awesome. Now, we should, I mean, listen, if she's got time, official draft correspondent is a cool title to have. We'll happily, you know, anytime. Number 55, Charles Barkley, eating his way out of Philly. Charles, one of the best guests, by all means. Chuck, take it away. I was about 300 pounds in college. I think most people know that.
Yeah. Between around 295, basically.
So the six had bought me in for a visit.
And the owner says,
hey, everybody's concerned about your weight.
Once you stop back here the day before the draft,
before we went to New York,
we want you to wait 285.
And I said, okay,
so I get down about 285, 83, somewhere in there.
And then my agent says to me,
they have a hard cap in the NBA.
So if you get trapped by the sixers,
you're going to have to play your first year for $75,000.
Oh, my gosh.
Shit, I didn't leave the college of $75,000.
I could have got that much in college.
I said, well, I don't want the sixers to draft me.
We went on an eating binge.
No way.
We went to like business in the morning, you know,
to get the Grand Slam breakfast and everything.
Yeah.
All three days, all three days.
I was 283.
I got like $2.99 right in there.
And the owner called me every name in the book,
blah, blah, blah, blah.
So I can't believe your fat ass, blah, blah, blah.
I leave.
And I'm thinking like, woo, we dodged the bullet.
And if you go back and look at that tape,
there's just look on my face when they said,
but the fifth overall picking the drought,
the Philadelphia 76th and select Charles Barkley out of Aubrey.
I got to look on my face.
Like, what?
thought. How did this happen? So my first contract ended up being four years, two million dollars. But I tried to eat my way out of Philadelphia. True story. Fun behind the scenes moment of this one, a very surreal moment for me personally was trying to help Charles Barkley fix the camera orientation on his iPhone. And we never fixed it. It stayed vertical the entire time. And we said, fuck it. We'll figure it out. Chuck, go ahead. I think this is one. This is one.
of our longer episodes too because...
Go over we watch this episode. It's incredible. It's season one.
It's a fucking blast. Season one. Fucking blast
have Chuck on. One of the best to ever do it.
Full circle from... We started season one telling stories about how Travis used to call
himself Charles. After Charles Barkley, a few months later, Charles is a guest on the pod,
which is incredible. He was the best. All right. Number 54.
We're going overseas for this episode in season two.
And it's the guys talking about meeting future New Heights guest.
Prince William.
We met royalty.
There was royalty at the show.
Got to meet Prince William.
How about that?
Your Royal Highness.
Last episode, I think I was quoted as saying,
fuck, royalty.
He was so cool.
He was good.
Obviously, we're backstage meeting him.
He was there with Little George in Charlotte.
They were an absolute delight to meet.
Wasn't sure if I was supposed to like bow to them,
curtsey, just be an American idiot and shake their hand.
They specified because we weren't at like an official royal event,
we didn't need to bow or curtsy.
But I did still address him as Your Royal Highness.
Yeah, no, 100%.
And I've never felt emasculated.
And I did.
That was the closest I've ever been.
I've never seen you give someone that much respect.
You put your beer like 10 feet away from you.
Yeah, I didn't have it in my teeth when I met him.
I got to say, Prince William was fantastic meeting him.
But the highlight was Princess Charlotte.
She was so fucking adorable.
I don't know, maybe it's because I have three girls now.
She had fire to her.
She was asking questions.
Thank you, your royal highness.
It was awesome meeting you.
And Charlotte and George.
Fun fact about this episode, it was recorded at 3 o'clock in the morning Pacific time.
Yep.
I remember I went to bed at, fuck, I think I went to bed at like 10 and set an alarm for like one to wake up to record this because both guys were in London.
We were in L.A.
Great episode.
One of the dumbest things we've ever done, which was, do you mind being on London time for an evening?
And I said, sure, that's fine.
Oh, also, we need a full T set.
I said, that's fine.
Sure.
Of course you do.
Why wouldn't you?
Why wouldn't you need a full T-set?
You know what's not on this list that came out of this episode?
Alison Wonderland.
Allison Wonderland.
All right.
Well, maybe we can delete something else up to up ahead.
Whatever.
53, Jake.
A segment we haven't done in a little while, but was a classic in the early seasons of this show,
in part because of this version of it and it's players as Harry Potter.
Jason, can you please sort NFL players into Hogwarts houses?
Do you want to go down to?
list of players? Start throwing names at me. Let's see how it happens. Where's Jason Kelsey?
I mean, I'm going to put myself in Gryffindore. Come on, baby. Do I get it in Gryffindor?
I'd put you in Gryffindor for sure. Jalen Hertz.
Gryffindor. We can't put everyone in Gryffindor, Jason. You're asking me all my friends.
Who doesn't Jason know? All right. What about Russell Wilson? I think he's in Slithering.
I was thinking he was like a Hufflepuff. You know what? I'll do that. I'll go Hufflepuff.
Ask me a coach. Bill Belichick. Oh, Slytherin all day.
What about a guy like Tony Romo? Slytherin. I mean, anybody on the Cowboys is Slytherin.
So is Jerry Jones, like, is he like the head of Slytherin?
He's Lord Voldemort.
He's probably got horrockses scattered all through the United States.
Jason Garrett being one of them.
What's a horrocks?
Well, a horrocks is when somebody separates their soul,
and they put their soul into another object or person.
You see what I'm saying?
You see where we're going in this?
It makes sense now, right?
Yeah, it started out as more of like just doing the sorting hat for players.
Like players that kind of like came out of this.
eventually. But yeah, sorting players in what house is Harry in? Harry's house.
As a Harry Potter nerd who like absolutely grew up loving the books and movies and a diehard
football fan, like that was just such an intersection of my interest that I will forever love
this clip. Keeping it moving number 52, the Jason Helmet Toss story from the first Beer Bowl.
All right. Let's just let's go to the clip and we'll do some backstory on there at the end of it.
Now, do you have a welcome to the NFL moment as a
coach what was your welcome to the NFL moment you really want to go here yeah do I now that
you just replied with that yes well the way the Novacare set off there's two fields and we
rotate them after they we wear them out a little bit yeah they kind of crossed me you remember all that
so we were the fields were perpendicular to the broad street and something happened crazy I don't
didn't remember what happened, but Jason got very upset and ripped his helmet on.
Noticing a trend and let it go.
Just sitting on the field.
He threw his helmet?
I've got one of these stories, too.
Wait, which instance of this?
I feel like I've had 10 since I've been here.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You've never seen anything like this.
This was, wow.
This is young.
Interesting.
Makes you think, like, he could be in the Olympics for shot put or something, like discus.
A little discus.
There we go.
There was a spin of it.
I mean, I've seen that helmet fly 50 yards onto the sideline.
You almost hit Ferrari that one day, John Ferrari.
That was an impressive one on it.
I was, it just kept going and going.
I haven't actually seen that something.
Something about a helmet throw.
It's just electric.
Kids are people going.
Was it warranted or was he being a big baby?
I don't even remember what's the reason is.
I don't remember.
There's been too many instances.
They're all just running together.
It's a great story.
And the first beer bowl is kind of like a defining moment for the show because
it's genuinely, and I mean this respectfully, our dumbest idea.
This first one was incredibly stupid, and I'll give you the quick play-by-play, the night
before, for real New Heights had, the night before Jake and I and our boy Greg, our boy, Greg,
were in Philadelphia recording the...
We're telling this story finally. Thank God.
We recorded the Alejandro Villanuevae episode, and I'm not pointing fingers.
somebody was hours late to that recording.
I'm not saying who.
I'll let you guys guess in the comments.
I say somebody was hours late to where we did not leave Philadelphia for C.
Isle until midnight.
So we were driving through the night to C.
aisle.
I think we got to the hotel at 1.1.30 in the morning,
hit the bed.
We're back up at the OD by 6 a.m.
to start setting up drinking games.
Yes.
Can I back up really quickly to include the best part of this story?
Go ahead.
We are driving to sea aisle. It's me, Brandon, and Greg. Greg is driving. I am working on some social stuff in the back seat. Brandon is working on the episode in the front seat. We are in a one-way highway with two lanes. I look up. We're on the left side. Cool. Go back down, doing my notes, look up again. We're still on the left side. The road has changed to a two-way road. And at 12-30 in the morning, I say, hey, Greg, are you on the road?
wrong side of the road. He goes, oh, my bad and like gets into the right way. We were driving,
we were driving Europe style for about 12, 20 miles there. It's not great. Everybody's fine. It's
fine. It's one of those fun stories that you get to tell people of, hey, we live through it. It's
fine. Great episode, though. Go watch it. First appearance of Staleland on the show.
Number 51, maybe one of the most tweeted at phrases I get tossed our way is the squirt squad.
I mean, just a great example of why no-dum questions is already the best segment.
And how, yeah, we do kind of always evolve into a dick joke, don't we?
At Joe D. Fran on Twitter at New Heights.
Why don't players squirt their own water?
No-dom question.
That is such a good question.
I mean, honestly, somebody comes up to me with it already, like, right here,
and all they got to do is just they just go around from person to person and just like, do you want one?
I can shoot you real quick.
And it's like it's way easier than handing the bottle and handing it.
I don't know.
It's maybe not that much easier, but it is convenient.
I will say this.
Yeah, I think this typically happens at like a TV timeout or something like that where you're trying to be efficient and get water to as many guys as possible before the timeouts up.
So you kind of just know when somebody reaches up to squirt you at open up your mouth.
and then you just get squirt.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you don't always, like, they don't have to do the squirting.
You can do the squirting sometimes.
But, you know, when you develop a relationship, you just know when you're about to
get squirted on and you'll figure out to make sure that you get, yeah.
You got to have a good relationship with the person squirting.
Yeah.
You don't want to just be letting randos squirt on you.
Yeah.
You got to make sure you know who you're dealing with.
Then it doesn't feel as a trusted, like trainer.
coach, individual teammate.
I'll let a teammate squirt me sometimes, but...
That's just a good teammate.
I'm trainer trav, man.
I'll squirt.
I'll squirt you guys if you need more.
I'm trainer trav.
I have that in my fucking...
Trainor trave.
I got that thing right on the hip.
Just need one dude?
Yeah.
I got you.
There's something that feels good about giving somebody a squirt.
Like it feels like you're doing them a solid.
Like, I got you a squirt.
You want some?
I'll give you a squirt.
Dude, have you ever, have you ever trusted someone to squirt you and they just fucking miss your mouth?
Yeah, it's the worst.
My, dude, my pet peeve.
So these graderade water bottles are fantastic, but sometimes they don't screw the lids on all the way.
It pisses me off when they just right down, come on, guys.
We embarked on this avenue of trust.
I opened my mouth to accept your squirt.
It's a avenue of trust.
Oh, man.
Squirt me where I wanted to be squirted.
Yeah.
Have you seen honorary now new squirt squad member, Luke Keekeley,
who drinks like he has a football helmet on even when he's not.
I did see Lukekely drink as well helmet on and does not have a long run.
Yeah.
Incredible.
Congrats on the hall, Luke.
I had the show on the LA Live show.
People are demanding that shirt.
I will talk to somebody about maybe limited run of squirt squad t-shirts.
No, fucking stupid question.
an even better answer.
Moving number 50,
oh man,
season one,
episode two,
maybe,
maybe honestly
one of my personal
favorite moments
was talking about
the wedge unit.
Really early moment
where not only
where the guys laughed,
like everyone on the recording
was dying laughing
in part because of
how much these guys
were laughing.
Just,
I think,
just a perfect example
of what the heart of the show
is.
It's like football talk
that'll make you die laughing.
That was back
when there was still a wedge unit on kickoff return.
Can you believe that that used to be a thing?
I was a part of it.
I wish it would never happen.
Yeah, the wedge unit, this is what your job on the wedge unit was.
Back before the NFL decided to outlaw this barbaric behavior.
Oh, my gosh.
You would run back to you were 10 yards from the returner.
Lake Arms, boys.
Interlock arms.
Like a human wall.
And there'd be one guy's job to look back and say, go!
And then you would proceed as your one job.
Who came up with this shit, man?
It worked like a charm.
That's why they did it.
I like when we get to delve into the absurdities that is football.
Yes.
Lock arms, boys.
Like, that is just what, it's the dumbest, smartest sport ever invented.
That's why it's the best.
Number 49, maybe, and I think we're doing, I think we're doing her version of this because Jason
told the story without her first.
No, we got to get her version.
Maybe Kylie's most iconic story on the show, and that's the shark story.
How did it feel that Jason left you out of the infested waters and on the mountain?
Yeah.
In defense, she was nowhere near the shark.
So I didn't really leave her in a compromise position.
What is nowhere near the shark mean?
I was in the same water he was.
Yeah, but you were significantly more inland.
You could see Kylie and you could see the show.
It was hard to see Kylie.
That's how far away she was.
This man was in and out of the water because he couldn't stay up on his board.
If the shark would have been anywhere near you, I would have jumped in and attacked.
It is the fastest I've ever seen the big man move when he would fall in the water and then have to get back up on his board.
Quick feet.
Gotta get out.
Your boy, he was not staying in that water.
Slava.
Every time he fell in, full panic to get his ass back up on that board.
Going around, paddling.
And I turned around and this man is.
Scurion.
The fastest I've ever seen this man move.
All I said to him was, are you done?
And he was like, mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
That's what you gave her?
It was hard to hear what she said, because she was so far away from the shark.
Ridiculous.
Travis, he had to paddle past me to get into the shore.
And he didn't say anything.
Yeah, but I was out there.
I was with the shark.
Have you ever heard how you get away from a bear?
You just have to be faster than the slowest person?
I was his slowest person.
No.
He was like, every man for himself.
You were so far away from the shark and you're having so much fun.
I didn't want to ruin the entire experience for you.
You just got to be faster than the slowest person, Kylie.
That's what he said.
Kylie's slower than me.
I'm going to just scoot on past her and then I'm safe.
I love that we have Jason Tell, his version,
and then we get Kylie's version later.
Typically, Kylie's feels a little more close to the truth,
but that's maybe a biased on my end.
Keeping moving to number 48, man, a lot of you're going to want this month to be a lot,
a lot higher in this list, but it is number 48.
This is Taylor on Travis's love for otters.
All I really use the internet for is sourdough and when Travis shows me videos of otters on his Instagram algorithm.
I want a wild.
I want a wild otter so bad.
I just want to like find these little creatures.
Yeah, he doesn't.
But he wants.
Why a wild one?
Why wouldn't you?
Aren't they all wild?
Oh, no.
There's domestic.
There's domestic artists.
He wants one specifically whose life he saved, who knows.
that he saved his life.
It's a really specific type of otter he's looking for.
The videos that I watch are somebody just in a canoe.
Yeah, he doesn't want to go up to an otter and take it from its mother.
He wants to see an otter and the otter's like, my paws caught in a shell.
And he's like, I got you.
And then the otter's like, thank you forever with its little paws.
And then it swims up and then you're kayaking and it's like doing this to you.
Like, that's what he wants.
And I want it to, honestly.
Who doesn't?
I mean, who doesn't?
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
So.
Do otters eat bread?
Can we get a shower dough eating otter?
That might be perfect.
We're going to figure that.
I don't know if they do.
I don't know if they do.
Oh, no.
They're probably.
But yeah, we had discussed maybe like carrying around cans of sardines just in case we run into one.
Nice.
It's, it's better in principle than it is in practice.
Easier to, easier to conceptualize.
It seems pretty easy, though.
You just got to go canoeing.
which is also easier in principle than it is in practice for us in terms of just the weight balance
on the water.
I'm on the hunt for a friend.
Yeah.
Stuff you didn't know you needed to know, right?
Jason.
I mean, I love otters.
I don't know who doesn't love watching Instagram.
This is what Airs Tour is though, Jason.
You got to, it's so close.
I'm retired.
I am all in on this.
I mean, we had so many zoos reach out to us after this club.
My DMs are mostly zoos at this point.
And I will get to all of you.
and I will see your otters.
I promise you.
I'll be on an otter tour at some point.
Yeah, I also, you know, people made a lot of fan art of this.
I believe we've been mailed, plushy otters.
So we're ottered up.
But it's generally one of the best stories and did not see that coming in the record.
The official animal mascot of New Heights in honor.
Probably.
Number 47, an episode, you know, one of the episodes we were dying to make.
Yeah.
And we, I mean, we need to have this guy back on the show again at this point.
It's been too long.
Anytime.
But anytime open invite, it's Andy Reid talking about drafting both Kelsey brothers.
The addition of 12-bolt topics with my head coach.
Jason, why don't you lead us off?
Yeah.
The biggest and the most important question of them all.
So we got the draft coming up.
So we think we'd start with the draft.
You obviously drafted both of us.
And I don't know if I've ever told you the story, but I was in the Pro Bowl one year and John Gruden was sitting there.
I think you guys had done a production meeting.
And he said, you know, I saw Andy before one of the games, and I said, so you drafted Jason and you drafted Travis.
And he said, your response was, I drafted Jason, I drafted Travis.
And if there's any other Kelsey's out there, I'll draft them too.
So I'm asking you right now on the spot, why my daughter is three years old.
If you're still coaching in 18 years, can we get another Kelsey drafting?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
You got a wife.
You got a baby girl.
Do you remember what led to me getting drafted?
Yours was real easy.
So you were a great player.
Okay.
A little bit undersized.
Yeah.
But had tremendous toughness, speed.
You were smart and dirty tough.
And so, you know, that was an easy decision.
Yeah.
And we needed a center.
Yeah.
And so you fit in.
We just got rid of all that linebacker stuff in you.
Give you to Howard mud and cut you loose.
Yeah.
This guy, I saw.
saw play against Temple.
Yeah.
And my son kept selling me,
this tied in, is unbelievable.
Kelsey's brother is, like, incredible.
I mean, you know, he's 265 pounds.
He's a beast.
And then I get him.
He's scouting.
I know, then I get him.
He's like 240, but that's okay.
But I remember this.
I'm going to bring back a memory for you.
Games over.
They just destroyed Temple.
And I come over the locker room.
You're there with your boss.
Yep.
And he comes walking, beep up and out
and just giving me the best.
business. Like we're long-lost friends.
Deep down, I'm going, if I get my hands
on that son of a buck, I'm going to rip his heart.
But I play along with it.
Cawkey, cocky, damn, he is cocky.
But listen, I knew the roots.
I knew the roots. So for the first five years,
it's been, it was a war. The last five years
has been unbelievable. You know, you try to
traveled the country to 50 states, 50 girls.
I knew this show would be, I knew the show would be easy.
This show would be easy.
Yeah, this is nothing about that.
We've named plays after it.
We've had our fun.
And that play has been a hell of a play for us, coach.
No, it has.
It has.
Constant seven.
Not that show though.
Not that show.
Not that show.
We won't rerun that show.
We did record this in the Chiefs facility,
and you just aren't expecting the aura of Andy Reid.
And then Andy Reid shows up and you go, oh yes, I will do whatever.
asked me to do.
Yes, Coach.
Like, I immediately was saying, yes, coach.
I think this is the most nervous I've ever seen Jason B for an episode.
We were all nervous.
That's coach.
Gave us way more time that he should have right around the draft and can't
thank him enough.
But yeah, Andy Reid, one of the best.
Number 46, again, a number, like, this is another moment that came out of nowhere that has
now become a defining question we get all the time that I'm glad we've ruined Jason's life
with this is Jason Kelsey, hot spots guy.
A dermatologist has officially weighed in.
What do you say?
Jason Kelsey's statements, true or false, should we only be washing hot spots or are
our feet part of a routine?
As I was showering this morning, I looked down and I thought, am I going to wash my feet
this morning?
And yes, I absolutely did wash my feet.
God damn it, doctor.
Kelsey, you are actually correct.
You don't always have to wash every part.
of your body. Focusing on hot spots is actually a thing. And no, I'm not actually supported or
funded by Big Soap, Jason, as well. I'm with you. First of all, I don't believe that Dr. Forber
washed his feet. I don't believe him. I think he just said that because he was on national
television and he's afraid of being ashamed. I do believe that he admitted that I'm correct.
I want to say verbatim. At one point he said, Jason Kelsey is correct. He did? I think that happened
in the video. I didn't hear anything other than that. That's what I heard.
were weighing in about where you should and shouldn't wash your body.
And I love that you guys think you can change the man's mind.
It's not happening.
This spawned Jason's tweet about dermatologists being in bed with big soap.
Big soap.
Big soap.
Big soap got called out.
Just an all-time debate and an all-time clip.
I've done a few hotspots showers recently.
He's not wrong.
You want to go number 45?
Number 45 from season one.
One of my favorite football plays in the last five years.
since we've been doing this show.
It is Mac Jones versus the Raiders,
the lateral fumble tackle.
I don't even know how we want to phrase it.
The guys reacting in this clip is so good.
Give it a lesson.
You guys tried a lateral play
to end the game going into overtime?
And Jacobi Myers throwing it backwards.
I mean, how far back?
He threw it like 20 yards backwards
to the slowest guy in the field.
That's behind everyone.
Who's the worst person that can have the ball right now?
Mac Jones.
Okay.
Where's he at?
He's 30 yards behind everybody.
I could only imagine the situation, Mac is him.
He looked like he had no idea what was going on.
What do you think?
Chandler Jones is thinking?
He's like, how did you imagine me in Chandler Jones?
Is that the ball?
Why?
Why is it?
Bro.
And then he catches it at Mac Jones is just one-on-one with Kevin Garnett.
And he's stuck under the rim.
This is absolutely stiffied.
Mack, I know we're not a defensive player.
We got to put up a better effort than that, buddy.
I'm the worst tackler ever, man.
It looked like you tried to take a charge.
He thought he was playing basketball.
He tried to get a rough at the passer.
When football goes wrong, I feel like everybody can enjoy it.
And Mac, Mac Jones, having met him recently, one of the best guys.
So, Mac, I'm sorry, we laughed at this so hard.
I think even he would laugh at it, knowing him.
It is genuinely one of the funnier football follies of the last like five years.
Moving it on to number 44.
man, this was a guest that we were all pumped about.
George Clooney, just like, you know, he's on the list of people that I cannot imagine that I'm speaking to because that is, he comes on camera and you go, holy shit, that's a movie star.
And one of the nicest guys, this is George Clooney on his favorite prank.
Jimmy Kimmel gave me a stack of stationary with a presidential seal and Bill Clinton's name on it.
And I would send notes to all these actions.
actors from Bill Clinton.
I'd sign it like, and I'd find a movie that wasn't a great film with theirs.
And I'd like, you know, I loved you in this film.
And I'd write these notes.
And I'd send them, I'd send them to like 30 different actors.
I guarantee you some of them are framed and some of their own.
Oh, my gosh.
They don't even know.
They still don't know.
That is amazing.
Now they know.
Now they know.
Now they know.
Oh, my gosh.
Holy crap.
It's so much fun.
By the way, I did that.
I do that a lot.
Like, I have, I had,
Pitt stationary. Somebody had sent me this this book of dialects like CDs where you could do an Irish accent or you could do a French accent.
It was a guy who teaches it. And I had this big book. I don't know why I had somebody sent it to me. And so I take a note with Brad Pitt and I send it to Merrill Street.
And I go, Dear Merrill from Brad. Yeah. I go, this guy helped me in my accent in the movie Troy.
and I thought maybe you could use it.
And I sent her this book of accents from Brad Pitt.
It's so awful.
It's so good.
Like four years later, I see her and I tell the story.
Yeah, he knows it now.
Four years later, I see Merrill and I tell her the story.
And she's like, oh, my God, I was.
wondering why the fuck he's saying he me.
So awful.
That is epic.
That is epic.
I mean,
talk about a guy coming on and just commanding the interview.
He had instant charisma.
Just you get it.
You get it.
You go, yeah, I get why people want to film you.
I understand now.
Makes total sense.
All right.
Coming in at number 43, we got the goat, Tom Brady.
I hate.
From a Jets fan.
Yeah.
So Jets Jake says Tom Brady's the goat officially.
Chiefs fans.
You can reach him at A.J.
J-chat.
Forgot that this is being recorded.
Go ahead.
Number 43.
Number 43, we have a quarterback who played in the NFL for a decent period of time.
Tom Brady talking about his buddy Grunk.
Grong did never work.
You know, like a lot of receivers, tight ends work on catching drills.
Yeah.
So, like, you know, afterwards hit the jugs machine, you know, 100 catches.
And all the receivers did it.
Julian would come at like six in the morning and throw tennis balls off the wall and do one-hand drills.
I never saw Grunk ever do any catching girl, ever.
And I would throw the ball.
And every ball I'd throw to Gronk.
Like, he'd have these big white gloves, right?
And when you put his hands up like this,
it looked like the top of a trash can that I would try to hit.
And he would run across the field.
And he would go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
And I'd like, and it would, like, the ball would just, the ball would just stick to his hands, right?
So it was like unbelievable.
So one day, it's like his, it's like,
third year in the league, all right? And we're at practice and I throw him a ball and it like hits
like the palm of his hands and like falls on the ground. And Grunk looks at me and it's like,
what was that? Like what just happened? So he goes, Tommy, throw me the ball again. And I
cook the ball and I fired at him and he fought it. And it was like he gained his confidence.
Okay.
And by the way, for the rest of the career,
I never saw him do a catching drill.
There you got.
So it was like, there was a five second loss of confidence
in a receiver's career.
And it was like, I'll never forget it.
He was just like so lovable.
And you're like, come here, man.
You're fucking, you're unbelievable.
The laughing while he's running full speed is the most grunk thing I've ever, like,
felt.
Absolutely.
He's just having fun going fast.
Like, you know what I mean?
It's like, wee.
I know.
I know.
What a dude, man.
I mean, the grunk noises make that.
Gron noises.
Gron noises, I need to have that as like a, I need to have that on my phone.
When our wonderful editing team was editing that clip, the editor who was cutting it reached out to me.
It was like, hey, like, what do I put for the captions?
And I wrote, just write gronk noises.
And everyone will get it.
We've been trying to get time on for a while.
and I'm glad we finally got him, did not disappoint.
That episode could have been five hours long.
But keeping it moving to number 42, season three,
Jason Kelsey out in the wild.
One of his earlier spots on Monday Night Countdown.
This is Jason Kelsey's dance moves.
We also got to look at some new moves.
Jason's showing off some moves.
One move that's actually new to me.
I've only seen you hit one of these.
two moves before. I told this to Kylie, I said that's a new move. That is 100% a new move. I haven't
seen that one yet. Kylie said it's the same as the stop. She said it's just a different variation
of your stomp. Yeah, which means it's a new move. This stomp, though. The running man, it wasn't
my best running man. I've been better at running man. Both knees are getting up. What happened is
we were supposed to be on that stage to start countdown. And I walked over there way too early.
I had to kill 30 minutes before the show started. And I'm just up there with these deep.
DJ's just standing there.
I'm like, I got to do something up here.
I can't just stand here like a remote.
I got to bring the energy.
It's golden.
You have the greatest running man of all time, dude.
I was so proud.
Everyone thinks I'm the dancer.
Dude, you are the most electric dancer I've ever met my life.
We didn't know how you transit TV.
And I don't know why we had any doubt.
Just let the man dance in a track suit and let Travis watch it.
Just incredible.
And this, I mean, you know,
spoiler for more moments later,
but there had been a lot of discussion on the show
about how Jason only has three dance moves.
This was a brand new dance.
Brand new one.
Broke out a new move.
I'm just going to tee up the next clip.
We'll let it play and then I'll give us some backstory.
This is Apollo Ono the Beatle.
Trav, what the hell is your life doing right now?
Dude, I have no idea.
Yeah.
A lot of false media being tossed out there,
but I'll tell you what wasn't false,
and it was when I landed in Australia
and seeing all the cameras.
Yeah, you're like the Beatles.
Yeah, I went into the FBI.
Yoko Ono.
I'm like the Beatles.
Yo-go-O-O-No.
Was that speed skater?
That's Apollo.
Are you thinking of Apollo, like Anton Ono?
Yeah.
Oh my God, that's fucking hilarious.
God, that's good.
Yoko Ono.
Oh, God.
No.
I don't even know the full story of Yoko Ono.
I know that she was with John Lennon, and that's about the extent that I know.
But yeah, she might have been a figure skater, actually.
I mean, who knows?
Speed skater, speed skater.
Okay.
Go ahead.
Backstory time.
Well, so the thing that made this clip so great, too, was this was such an emotional
episode. Like Jason had just retired. We were out in Philly. Uh, the guys were together.
We had, we had recorded like 20 minutes already of like tears and emotional. And then
heavy episode. Heavy episode. And then when, uh, when Jason goes, you're like Yoko Ono,
and Travis goes to the speed skater. Everyone in the room was like, the recording,
we're trying, we're trying to not make noise, but holy shit. It's everybody.
looked, if you ever seen a dog's head
when you like crinkle a bag and their head kind of
tilts, that was everybody in the room kind of going,
wait, wait, wait.
It was legitimately like the perfect way
to transition it from like heavy emotional episode
to oh, we're back to a funny new heights episode.
I can't, like I know they've asked Apollo Oano
about this, but it's still, if I see Apollo
on it, I start giggling. I will giggle
seeing Apollo O'No because I'm just, yeah,
the speed skater.
Last clip of this episode,
episode number 40, Shannon Sharp on the show at season one.
This is Shannon Sharp answering the question.
Could Skip get a yard in the NFL?
Previously on this show, we asked,
could an average person rush for one yard in the NFL?
So we're asking you right here right now.
Could Skip Bayliss get a single yard in the National Football League?
No.
I'm not saying because he's average.
Ain't no way they're going to let him get a yard.
They're going to go out of their way.
And I'm not so sure the offensive line to go block.
That's what's going to happen with that one.
Brandon and I were coming up with questions for Shannon,
and I was like, we should ask him about Skip.
And I'm so glad we did.
I'm very glad we did.
He knew the answer we were looking for, and he gave it to us.
Sometimes great producing is just putting the ball on the tea.
It's not, don't overthink it.
Just don't overthink it.
Let the club do the work.
Wow, so you think you're a great producer.
And that wraps up the second episode.
Tune in next time
with Jake puts four more of his own moments on this list.
Oh, fuck you.
Go ahead.
Wrap us out.
That wraps up the second installment of our top 92 moments.
We will be back with another episode,
counting down moments from 39 to 14,
so another 25 moments coming off the list.
