Do you practice next to the electrical substation? No, you can't. You got to stay the, away from that shit. Dude, I'm all in on this. Somebody's going to be at the... The AFC, it's the Patriots. Is it always just switch,

We are going to check the Heights hotline to answer your Super Bowl questions. That's right. We've asked you to submit them.

You have. We will now listen to them. Let's get right into it. Heights Hotline Super Bowl edition. Anna. Hey, Jason and Travis. No dumb question. What's the least glamorous part of the Super Bowl that fans never think about,

but players deal with all the time? Thank you. Least glamorous. I mean, everything about the Super Bowl is glam. There's nothing that's like the least glamour. The least glamorous is probably, I mean. Playing the game? Yeah.

I think she's asking like, what's the R? like one part of the Super Bowl that we don't enjoy if we're in it maybe oh it's easy it's that's the media the media day is the most like necessarily unnecessary thing ever i mean there's some of it's cool just because there's like so many people there and it's like that's fine it just is a long thing that you're done with and by that point you don't want to answer the same questions you've been asked a thousand times there's some people that go to it and like nicolodeon ones that have some interesting questions that make it kind of worth it but i don't know I, that's probably the part that you're more, most like,

and I'm kind of over this. Yeah, it's definitely the one that the players, uh, hate the worst or, yeah, I hate the most. There was also something we did where there's like a lot of like corporate sponsors

that I think was at like a mall of America at one point. And it just was like another, it was like a basically just a giant appearance that was a pain in the ass. But yeah, basically all the stuff that doesn't involve you just playing football and doing what you always want to call it hoopla. You just got a bunch of fucking hoopla. during the biggest game.

And the hoopla means something to the excitement of the game for sure, like a lot of the sound bits and everything. And to be honest, it was kind of fun when we were in the Super Bowl together because we got to just talk about our family and how amazing our mom and dad and the city of Cleveland Heights were. But it can definitely get pretty... It's just a long week. Yeah.

G-L-A-M-O-U-U. R-O-U-S. There's no two. There's not two holes. There's no, there's only one. Whoever said, they just spelled it wrong. Fergie knows how to spell it. G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S.

I'm right. First class up in the sky. All right, let's get to the next one. Jason and Travis, I know you guys have been to your fair share of Super Bowls and the torts we've gotten those reins as, you know, memory, super souvenirs and everything. But I was wondering what is the weirdest item that you've gotten or captured yourself from one of the super bowls that you've been to.

Okay? Let me know, bye. Oh, shit. I was just fucking choked on laughing. Do you have a good answer to this? Yeah, do you still have that Luchador mask? Oh, man. I owe that back.

That's not a Super Bowl that I was in, though. I don't think I can count that. Super Bowl that I was in? I mean, no, not really. I feel like there's got to be something that I kept that I just is very weird. I have it in a box in storage or something. The media days, everybody comes up to you, and you'll get a few.

you'll get a handful of souvenirs here and there. So I definitely remember grabbing some stuff and being like, oh, that'd be cool to keep and, like, look at it later on. I want to say I got Seleck's jockstrap from the game. Oh, jockstrap. I was going to, I was going to mount it with his jersey that I had, his game jersey. Where the fuck are you going to put? Jason, do you even, are you even going to have anywhere in your house

where you're going to mount your teammates jerseys? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Am I in the wait room? Oh, all right. Nice. Nice. I didn't know you were that.

You were a show off your jerseys kind of guy. Nice. I mean, I'm generally not. But no, I do plan on displaying a lot of the jerseys I've acquired over the years, especially guys that I play with. You're going to put my jersey up there? Of course. You don't know where my jersey is.

I know exactly where it is. I have all my jerseys stored downstairs. They're all in the same location. You are downstairs. No, no, no. There's a downstairs to this. Oh, all right. There's the basement.

Nice. I, no, I do not wash anything. Can't wash them. You got to feel the, you got to feel the dirt and the sweat. You got to feel that. I'm not even, I'm not even in on, like, putting them in glass. I kind of want to just, I want to be able to, like, touch the, the fabric. Oh, that's interesting.

Just put on a hanger and hanging on the wall. Yeah, hang them, yeah. I have confetti from the 2017 game. There you go. Yeah, we got a fuck time of completely. Ring box that doesn't have a soup bowl. But you got the confetti. That's good shit.

Yeah, the confetti. I definitely got some confetti. I grabbed some confetti off that floor. Threwed in my bucket. All right. Anything else that's kind of crazy and wacky? No. Nothing too crazy.

Thank you to our partner Adobe Acrobat. Oh, the Acrobat has been reimagined for powerful collaboration and to help you create

high quality work all at one place. Brandon, can you give us a hand here in showing the 92% of us how to use the incredible new features? I love it when Brandon shows us things. Please. Less work for us, more work for Brandon. Thanks, guys. I never mind doing more work for you. But that's right, guys, Adobe's got new features like PDF spaces, which basically helps you pull anything from the internet that you might want.

And let's just call it a podcast into one document and figure out where it goes a lot faster. Usually when we put together to show, we have to dig through a lot of articles, game notes, box scores. highlights, screenshots of tweets, whatever Jake was mad about the Jets doing that week. It's a lot of stuff that goes into making the show. And honestly, the segment that's toughest to put together is stamp of the week. There's actually a lot more nominees that we never really even show you guys.

We look through everything from game highlights, what's going around the internet. I watched a bunch of clips of people in Philadelphia going crazy in the snow. That was my personal stamp of the week. But we can drop everything into one PDF space. And this tool can take it all into one document, put it there, organize it. We can ask the AI assistant, hey, AI assistant, based on everything here, who is the strongest stamp of the week nominee and why?

Do we end up just yelling out names to each other? Yes. But before that, we can actually have some kind of plan of attack. Well, I think you intern, Brandon, you're the best intern podcast could ever ask. Faster prep and better picks so we can get more done together. That's right. Learn more at Adobe.com slash do that with Akabat. I know.

Don't do the next one? One more? morning, Jason. Good morning, Travis. This is Candice. And here's my not-so-dum question. With all of the excitement and media obligations and other things surrounding weeks prior to the Super Bowl, do the players as professional athletes

mentally prepare and focus for the biggest game of their lives? I hope I hear an answer. Thank you so much. All right. you mentally prepare for it the same way you do every week. That's one of the things that like the NFL schedule and like the way you operate each week, it becomes so routine and so kind of second nature that you just are locked into it. And even though there are a lot of distractions and there are things that are easy to get you

out of your comfort zone, you really fall back to like the same training that got you there. and you're on your second week of it at that point, the same week of the Super Bowl. So like you're you're kind of just going through the same thing over and over and over again. You're going to everything you do that Tuesday is the same thing you did the Tuesday before. Everything you did the Wednesday that week, same thing you did the Wednesday before. So I think that routine and schedule kind of always did a great job for me at least of making you lock in on the game and avoid, you know, all the media and family things and what. not that end up just being like a lot of outside things that can distract you from the task at hand.

Goodness. Said it better myself. I think the biggest thing is that you get two weeks. You get a week in Kansas. You get a week at home and then you get a week at the Super Bowl. So mental preparation, you typically get the entire playbook. It might switch. They might get maybe four or five new different plays when you get down to the Super Bowl. But you pretty much know, or at least this is how we did it in Kansas City, is that you know your playbook before you even go down to the kind of the circus that is the Super Bowl with the media and all that stuff. So mentally, you have everything before you even go to the Super Bowl.

I already have that aspect of it. And then when you get down there, you just can't lose focus on, you know, the game and can't let the excitement of it get too big or can't let your mind wander at all the stuff that comes with the Super Bowl. which can be pretty challenging for a lot of people. No doubt. Can I ask one follow up? Oh, God, Brandon.

The week, that weird dead week, do you guys, like, check out in that week and then start, like, get back into the Super Bowl after that weekend? Or is it like, as soon as you know you're in, it starts? No, that's what Travis was just saying. So the week, the week, this week right now, the Patriots and the Seahawks. They're on a vacation. Like, right now, literally right now they're practicing. They're doing the exact same. thing they would do if the game was going to be played this Sunday.

Okay. That's kind of what I'm asking. Yeah. No, I know. We also kind of just said this. So it's fine. We'll answer it again, though. Oh, okay.

The exact same thing you do for a normal work. Well, Brandon, it's clear that you're not listening to anything we're saying, Brandon. I have other stuff going on. What do you got birds outside? There's some cool birds outside. I'm like, well, these fucking asses talking about. Brown-eyed warbler outside. I saw scrub jay.

You fuck out of my face. All right. I'll take my answer off the air. Jesus. So typically the way the NFL schedule works is like there's something you do on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday are a structured schedule of like Tuesday. You're going to come and get introductory to the team you're playing. You're going to rewatch last week's film.

Also like nice recovery day. Yeah. Nice flush. Wednesday. You're getting your first lift in for the week. And you're also watching. You're doing, you're installing first and second down plays, right? Typically, the run game especially is a Wednesday day.

Call it the base game plan. The majority of the plays you're going to be running, yes. Thursday is a day where you're repping most of the passing game, right? So you're doing like third down, second and long plays. It's a little more special situation, like third down, fourth down, short yardage, goal line, backed up. It's all those kind of special. And obviously this differs with every team. Some teams might do red zone on a different day.

some teams may do those special situations on a different day, but typically you take one day for base, pass game, third down, short yards, specific situations, and then Red Zone. Yeah, and then Friday is when we would do the bulk of the Red Zone install. On Friday, you would hit your two-minute plays that you're thinking about reping in the game. A lot of those other specialty plays that are the last ones,

and that's more of like Fast Friday. You're in and out. It's a super quick day. A lot of heavy walk-through. potential and then you're going to repeat all of those days when you're in, when you're on site, wherever you're at in this. Got it.

That's why what Trav was saying, like, you're kind of doing the same thing again, but you've already repped it once. So you don't need to be as like locked into it. You're kind of just re-engineering and kind of bringing that back to the brain. You're just going back through muscle memory, put it in a new location. You're sharpening it. You're sharpening it up. Yeah.

All right. That's all I wanted to know. Maybe getting a different look than you didn't get in. the week prior. They'll do that too. Yeah, they'll give you if you're... They'll ask the scout team, yeah. They might give you a nickel rep or they'll give you a certain type of blitz or something like that

that they might do at a high rate in that situation, whatever it is. Look at this detailed answer we just gave. Look at that. We got a little extra on that. I feel like I've learned something. Jake, get the fuck out of here. What do you guys do the week before you go to the Super Bowl now? Fuck off, Jake.
