New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce - Jason In the Ring, Travis in the Desert and Our Live Show Recap | Ep 86

Episode Date: April 17, 2024

92%ers we are back with another special guest episode of New Heights sponsored by Buffalo Wild Wings. Let’s Go Sports Bar! In this episode, we have a lot to catch up on. Including, how many rookie dinners are going to be held at Travis’ new restaurant, Jason’s thoughts on beef, and how you can help win Jets Jake an award.  We’ve also got a complete recap of our very first arena live show and the Lombaby Games that took place last week at the University of Cincinnati. You’ll find out which events left people unable to stand, how close we came to a chili pool fist fight, what happened to Jason’s Super Bowl ring, why we think more contestants should have tried cheating, and the real reason we should be mad at Travis for what happened at the “graduation.”  The full Lombaby Games as well as our conversations with Desmond Ridder. Orlando Brown Jr. and Joe Burrow will be available on our YouTube page soon.  Jason also walks us through his time in the ring at Wrestlemania, Travis breaks down his trip to Coachella, and then we answer some “No Dumb Questions” where we somehow invent a more dangerous version of skydiving.  Finally, we close with some actual NFL news with the Eagles signing some big-time extensions, our thoughts on the Brazil game, and the Chiefs new international acquisition.  We will be back with more New Heights every Wednesday during the offseason so make sure you’re subscribed to our YouTube Channel and wherever you get your podcasts so you don’t miss a single episode and follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok for all the best moments from the show.  . . .

I had a beer in my hand and I had to receive the diploma. So I had to get the beer out of my hand some way. It happened to be full, don't know how that happened. Well, it kind of stayed full, as we saw when you threw it on the ground. If there's anything anybody should have been upset with, it's the fact that you didn't finish that chug. There was a way for spillage you didn't finish that chug. There was just way too much spillage

to consider that a successful chug. ["Sports Barp"] Hey. Welcome back to New Heights, presented by Waves Sports Entertainment and brought to you by Buffalo Wild Wings. Ha ha! Let's go, Sports Barp!

But we got another fantastic episode. Trav is going to present what took place at our first arena live show to some. That's pretty special. It was an awesome show in Cincinnati. Cincinnati showed up. The university showed up. It was a fantastic evening. So grateful, man.

We're also going to get to talking about out of the house. There's been some photos and things leaking on both of our accounts over the last couple of weeks. So we're going to talk about all that as well as maybe eventually talk about, you know, football. You want to talk about football now? Haven't talked about it in like four weeks on the show. So I guess probably there are still some football fans that watch. Is there anything going on right now? There's always something going on the NFL has got this figured out at all times of the year. There's contracts being done

There's the draft for those OTAs Like the only dead period in the NFL is that like four to six month time period when everybody takes vacation in the summer That's about it. Outside of that. There's something happening at all times Which thank you because it gives us stuff to talk about in the show. All right about it. Outside of that, there's something happening at all times. Which, thank you, because it gives us stuff to talk about in the show. All right now. We're gonna get to the first segment, as always. As always.

New news! New news! Coming in hot. Still don't have a voice from screaming all day in the University of Cincinnati. First bit of new news is, he must have heard us talking about him last week on the episode with Lil Dicky. Kind of lurker.

Because my brother, Cheeto Santino, Andrew Santino is going to be joining us next week on the podcast. I'm so pumped. If you haven't seen his podcast Whiskey Ginger, please go watch it. Absolutely hilarious. My favorite comedian out right now. One of my good friends, man. Have you guys been calling him Cheeto? Yeah, that's his name, Cheeto. Why Cheeto? He looks like a Cheeto.

Because he's got red hair? Yeah. I would assume that's the connection. There might be something deeper. How about this, Jason? We ask him when he comes on the show. All right now. appreciate you joining us Cheeto I fucking love you, man. We'll talk about a stand-up what projects. He's been working on And the time I spent on his podcast wearing some very very very short shorts that I haven't worn ever since how short I mean they were definitely a Mid thigh they were almost as short as the shorts you were wearing. Well, those shorts weren't that short. Those are like regular length shorts.

Yeah, good point. All right. My nuts were hanging out. All right. We'll make sure you tune in next week for that one. I promise you, you won't want to miss it. Maybe next bit of new news. We're going to talk about something that isn't, I guess, new news or kind of still news, but

we haven't talked about it yet. And that is Travis and Pat Mahomes are getting into the restaurant business together. That's right. All right. Now their legendary connection on the field isn't iconic enough. They're now going to connect off the field as partners in the new steak house in Kansas city called 1587 prime. Why is it 1587? Is that a set a year that's specific to the both of you guys Nope

Just just a couple of random numbers thrown together No, honestly, it's it's always been pretty cool to see the The support that we get out in Kansas City. So we wanted to make sure we we showed that love back Doing things in the community is something that we're both heavily, heavily involved in. And so this time, we wanted to make a restaurant, man. Why not have one of the coolest steak houses and one of the best hotels in the city, downtown,

Kansas City at the Lowe's, and it's just, it's gonna be awesome, man. I can't wait to show Kansas City our love for food and and dining experiences because that's one thing me, Pat and Then the gang love to do man We love to just go out and just pig out at all the best restaurants in the world So we thought we'd have our own rendition in Kansas City, man Shout out to the noble 33 group that we're teaming up with. A lot of our favorite restaurants have been with them

over the years, and it's pretty cool teaming up with them, knowing just good vibes, good people, good, genuine people, hardworking people on both ends, and just love the mashup. Well, this is being called, quote, a modern American steakhouse, is the kind of steakhouse it's gonna be. It is set to open in 2025, as Travis said, in the Lowe's Kansas City Hotel. called quote a modern American steakhouse is the kind of steakhouse it's gonna be. It is set to open in 2025 as Travis said

in the Lowe's Kansas City Hotel. Are you guys going to be like Todd Herrmans and Brent Selick when they open their bar in Philly and just allow all the cheese players eat for free? Probably not, but nobody times where I'll pick up the bill. I'll pick up the bill guys every now and then, every now and then. You guys might be able to survive solely on rookie dinners. Do you think there's gonna be a lot of rookie dinners

enjoyed at 1587? I don't know. Jason, I never had a rookie dinner. They never did that with you, huh? No, not me. Fasano? Come on, Anthony, Fasano didn't take you out as a rookie dinner.

I think we all might have grabbed dinner, but it wasn't like, hey, we're going to dinner and we're gonna pig out and we're gonna get the most expensive alcohol we can and you're gonna pay for it. It wasn't a situation like that. I mean, it's a pretty ridiculous tradition that the NFL does with rookies.

I mean, it's absurd. Especially the rookies that don't have a lot of money. I mean, I guess everybody has a lot of money, but I feel like the veterans should be imparting wisdom of Saving your money and not spending it frivolously on Shots of Louie the 13th or whatever the heck that whiskey is which is like $200 So rather not drink warm gasoline. I'm alright. Oh, yeah. I I've never understood the the Whatever this is for another topic. But

what is going to be on the menu at 1587 prime? I don't know, probably have some probably have some Pat's ketchup. I don't know. Pat has his own ketchup. Well, I mean, he is a big ketchup guy. So I would assume is it like fancy ketchup? We know he's a big water burger. What a burger guy. Yeah, they're gonna be fancy ketchup. There might be prime there might be we were we're putting together menus and everything right now

It probably won't be up and running until after this this upcoming season But um, yeah, we're putting together all the all the fun stuff right now This Pat dip is thinking ketchup breakfast lunch and dinner everything dude. It's it's just a it's just what he does It's what he's been doing. He'll get like a nice bone in rib eye, cut it up and dip it in ketchup? Pretty sure I've seen it before. Wow.

He's real back on it a lot from what I remember, but I've never seen that happen before. Is this gonna be one of those steak houses that has like the wagyu like steak in it I think every place I can't yeah I can't tell you exactly I know we want to keep it kind of like centered around Kansas City and am I the only person I'm not sure you you might be yeah I just I I've had it a few times a few times I've had it quite a few times and it is Fucking delicious. I can't just have a steak like a like a 12 ounce

Wagyu steak. I can't do that. I can have it sliced up Yeah, it's very rich in terms of it's like too much for a full fatty flavor Yeah, but that's why I usually get like a big old ribeye or a big steak. You put that thing on a taco, woo! You put that thing on like a burger, woo! It's too much for a whole steak. Just by itself is a lot. I feel like I can just feel my arteries clogging as this stuff is dripping down my gullet.

That's funny though. I'm not, I just, I don't know. I prefer regular steak. You and the gullet is hilarious, man. Right down my gullet. It's a good word. Yeah, no, I'm not sure what's on the menu. I'm not really even sure what's gonna be specific

to me and Pat in the restaurant, but we're definitely gonna put something together. We're excited about it. Shout out to Noble 33. Shout out to Pat in my Homes. And shout out to Kansas City. We've been wanting to keep doing fun stuff for you guys in the community,

and hopefully you guys can get excited for this one. There is a question from a 92%er out there on Club92 from Mad Dog B41. Will Jason be providing the cows for Travis's new steakhouse? I can say that before Travis answers. We don't have enough cows to provide a whole steakhouse with meats, but we can provide a steak.

Maybe one of the steaks is adjacent. I mean, I don't wanna leap to conclusions as Travis, your steakhouse, but you want one of my cows for a steak? I got nice, maybe ground beef. You gotta chili. Let me take a gander at these cows, see what these cows look like.

Fair enough. That's a no, ladies and gentlemen. And we're also been nominated for Fair enough. That's a no ladies and gentlemen. And we're also been nominated for more awards. That's right, first up we've officially been nominated for four Webby Awards. How about that? Podcast co-hosts, which I guess would be Travis and I. Podcast best video series,

which I don't even know what that means. Podcast best sports podcast, which again I think that's us. Social content series of Sports Podcasts. Dude, Jets J. That's a direct shout out to our one and only Jets J. That's right. Can't get a yard in the NFL, but he's up for a Webby.

That's right. The lead social producer for New Heights is up for his own Webby. How about it? I don't know, Is this a beautiful thing? Thank you most importantly to the 92 percenters for continuing to tune into the show. You guys are what makes the show fun every single week. We enjoy doing this.

We have no idea what we're embarking on each and every week. And no idea. But we enjoy bringing it literally the two most clueless guys to ever be up for an award. There's a lot of support in this room from a lot of people that you don't get to see on camera as often as Travis and I. And they're really what make the show. As you can see, I'm always looking over here and that's because I'm directly reading everything

Amazon. All right, now it's time to talk about our next sponsor, Tommy John. Yeah, this is a bold statement, Jason. I'm going to say it. Tommy John Underwear is claiming they have the most comfortable underwear out there. And I think you should be the deciding factor on that statement. As I've said on the show, I do not wear underwear.

And I don't wear underwear based on comfort. The reason I don't wear underwear is because I find it unnecessary and problematic to the freedom that my boys like to enjoy. If that's gonna change, I don't, I guess I don't think that's going to change, so I'm curious to see what your, or what Tommy John is offering.

When do you wear underwear? What situation do you actually wear underwear? Every time I'm working out. If I'm doing something physical, I'll wear, like, my thigh's chafe, so I do have to wear, like, So chafe, okay., so I do have to wear. So chafe, okay. Yeah, I do have to wear, what are they called? So when you're working out, it's like a compression short.

Compression shorts. Like a very, like a heavy polyester. When I'm running, or doing physical activity. It reduces the friction. I'm gonna do a lot of walking. You're in luck, because Tommy John does have a compression, like sports-y II athletic wear type of I'll try that out. There you go. If anybody else deal wants to try these Tommy John

Check it out and stay tuned to this ad read to see if TommyJohn can deliver on the feeling that my... Your cajones. You know, I think you know what I'm saying. Your job, if it can deliver on the proper feel to the nether

region. Let's get to what everybody has been talking about the last few weeks. And that's our second New Heights live show. Oh my gosh. It was in front of a sold out crowd of 13,000. So electric. So electric. We're also glad that it moved indoors. I was the one who was pushing very hardly for it to be in Nippert. For those of you that don't know, Nippert Stadium is Cincinnati's football stadium. Historic Nippert Stadium. Over a years old, folks. Travis and I practiced and played games

on that stadium every day. Blood, sweat, and tears, boys. It's also a unique stadium that is part of campus. It's open during the day. Any time of the day, you'll see kids eating lunch down there when it's nice out. You'll see people playing ultimate frisbee. It's very much a part of the university

as opposed to I think any other college football stadium in the country. I remember students coming to watch practice and just like go over their work. Well that was a big problem. People could just videotape practice from opposing teams which is why it's no longer there, one of the reasons I'm sure.

It was completely open at all times other than outside of events and games. opposing teams, which is why it's no longer there. One of the reasons I'm sure, but it was, it was completely open at all times other than outside of events and games. But we were definitely looking forward to showcasing the uniqueness that is Nippert Stadium, but we moved it indoors because of really weather. And I think it was the right decision on all accounts, which should have been indoors from the beginning.

I screwed that up. It definitely was. The weather made me see what everybody else saw from the beginning, which is, it's gonna be way more fun in front of a packed out indoor arena at Fifth Third. It was amazing, and it started right up with the entrance for the Great Lumbaby Games. Oh my gosh.

And Jim Brandis introduced us, there was smoke, there was fire, there was an injury risk. I mean, I don't know how you felt. Running through that smoke was not, we had no idea it was on the other side of that. I thought I was going to just run through somebody. Just like take out 10 cheerleaders. It was literally running blind for a good,

like 10 to 15 feet too. It wasn't just like, oh, you're through the wall. It was like, It wasn't just like, oh, you're through the wall. It was like, dude, I was like just making sure I didn't kill somebody. And then there was that blue, the blue tarp for the first Lumbaby Games like event was right there. And I kind of tripped on it.

I stepped on it in an awkward way. Dude, I stepped on it. It has nothing to do with dragging my feet. You were dragging your toe like you were trying to stay in bounds in the end zone. What? Just random toe drag? I stepped on it though in the mist and I was like, oh no. But you didn't because you're a good athlete. Yeah.

Well, the intro is electric. The fans were in it right from the get go. And let me tell you guys, this was, I mean, the whole night was over four hours long. It was a long day. I didn't even realize it was that long. I just felt like we were in there enjoying the hell out of it.

We started at seven and ended after 11 o'clock. It was a long day. There was one intermission which we needed badly. But the fans at all times were into it. They were cheering, they were yelling, they were throwing things. It was a fun, fun evening. There's also a great video of us dancing on stage

before the game started. One of the 92 percenters got this, and I think I can pretty much squash any doubt of my dancing abilities with this video right here. I think I finally put to rest anybody's opinion that I can't dance. Because I don't do other people's moves. I'm an original content creator. Wow. That move is called the linebacker jiggle because you need your knees inside

your toes as a linebacker to be able to explode in any direction. Everybody knows this. But you also need that hip flexibility to be able to make a tackle. So to me, it's demonstrating my linebacker ability with this dance move right here. That's pretty good. With great rhythm and gracefulness, if I might add. Yeah. You still had the jeans on at this point, so it was a little stiff, but... Well, the jeans were...

They were very stretchy. Got nice comfortable Wranglers. What are those things? I don't even know what brand that is. But they're broken. I had to toss them after the event because I ripped a hole in them and... Oh, that's what happened. Well, there was a bunch of ass sweat and then when I took them off, I realized because I ripped a hole in him and. Oh, that's what happened.

Well, there was a bunch of ass sweat and then when I took him off, I realized that there was a hole in him as well. And I don't know at what point in the show that happened. Probably ripped it doing this thing, yeah, right here. No, I mean, this isn't, it wasn't this. This is a move that wouldn't rip him, but something I did, did.

Did, did. All right, well, I was impressed. I even gave you your props afterwards. I was like, okay, Jason, I see you. I see you busting it out, showing how- Who the fuck is Patricia L.? Who the hell is this? What happened?

Wow, you can really see the difference between moves and the short clip. Jason, very jerky, whereas Travis' hips, legs, movement just seemed to flow. I'm very flowy. I am very flowy. The fuck does Patricia Elle know? What does she know, huh?

Let's say I was going for jerky. You gotta be able to show explosion. Explosion happens jerky. Thank you for telling Jason that he's not smooth. I like showing off jerkiness because it shows that I have impeccable explosion. That's a good point. I'm not sure.

So what is she saying? She's not saying anything bad. She's not saying any she's not saying anything bad she's just noted she's saying that it's jerky so it might not even be I think you're just reading it in a negative way you're right Patricia I take back what I said Kaylee one a seven I'm gonna say what is Jason doing now that seems to be a shot. That was a shot. No, well, she just didn't know. She's asking. And then she's crying because she doesn't know. Like those aren't, some people put those as laughing tears, but she's literally crying

because she wants to know what that incredible dance move that I just pulled off was. You have a unique way of reading things. And we've already been over this. that's the linebacker shuffle. All right, um bluey bluey Adiva 289 on Twitter doesn't even look as if they're dancing to the same music. I thought it did I thought we were we're both in the same rhythm. Yeah, Jason just looks like a Sims character All right after the dancing we got into the Great Lomb baby games. And it couldn't have started off any better than I could have imagined.

Yeah, it was fucking unbelievable from the get go. My man Zach. So I guess we'll the Great Lomb baby games. I love how you got to tell everybody that's your guy now. Like all right, it was kind of fucked up what I did, but that's my guy. Me and Zach became best friends after this. And he came in clutch in the team relay at the end

with the final sprint to secure victory for team academic, AKA team nerds. Oh man. For those of you that have not been following the last few weeks and are just joining the great Lumbaby games was a competition between student athletes and non-student athletes, following the last few weeks and are just turning into great baby games was a competition between uh, student athletes and non-student athletes, team academic and team athletic. It was a

nod to Revenge of the Nerds and in some ways like Global Guts. Like it was, it was a very unique game show that was created for the most part by our incredible team. Let's give it up for our incredible team at New Heights. Yeah team! So good. It was unbelievable the games that they thought of starting right away. So we had eight events. The first one was helmet toss. Helmet toss where we got everybody, we got two competitors dizzy as possible then they had to try and hurl helmets at these cardboard cutouts of Travis and I. And if you guys want to see how well that first event went, you can watch this clip right now. There's definitely a difference in the speed at which I'm spinning Zach

and the speed at which you are spinning. Zach is clinging on for dear life. His head almost hit the pole multiple times. That's exactly why I wasn't spinning that fast. Jillian was, she's like an athlete at University of Cincinnati. If I would have spun her to the point of like hitting her head, oh my gosh.

He's doing that. He's tech needed all of three steps. He's at the first second, ends up in our guy Larry Shakeley's lap, and then finds himself in the first first row Second row, you know, and by the time he gets up and runs over the game I gotta say the one thing that I mean Zack is clearly the highlight of this video I don't want to take away from my man Zack But because everybody keeps focused focusing on Zack people are not noticing just the deathly

Accuracy at which Jillian nailed these two cardboard cutouts with the NFL helmet. Two shots, bang bang easiest thing I've ever done in my life. Even if you're not dizzy to throw a football helmet. It's not like it's the easiest thing in the world to do with any type of accuracy. How did she looks back before throwing the first time I like is something happening because crowd is going crazy over that. The crowd is going crazy over Zach. Zach just ate it.

He took two steps and just fucking ate it. Yeah. That was the first of it, which team Josh took. It was like there was a magnet that he had no control of, just fucking pulling him towards the stand. Yeah, he was definitely leaning hard to the right. Ah, yes, that's so good, man. Oh my god when I saw his hair flying like a cape while you were spinning them I was like this dude is about to be

miserable when he gets up He's holding on like for dear life People I'm spitting Miss Hayes over there and she's just Yeah, I mean, not a concern. Well, after that event, the jocks went up one nothing and we went right to Jason lost his ring, where we had a full vat of skyline chili. This is actually technically a three way it's not just skyline chili. There's spaghetti in there. Cheese and do this again. It was folks. The video does not do justice just how disgusting this was. I had to get away from that corner, man

I mean, I would have to get away from that corner. I went to skyline twice over the weekend I love skyline chili this chili had been sitting out for like some time period It smelled so bad in that part of the arena. It was disgusting. It was just, the pungent odor coming from these children's pools filled with Skyline chili three ways was absolutely disgusting. Oh my God.

Mixed into that chili, there were socks with some make believe rings, and then there's actually only one real ring in there, which was my Super Bowl ring, but there was another kind of like replica Super Bowl ring. So there were two Super Bowl-esque rings that they had to try and find. One in each pool. And here's the clip for that one. Jesus, I don't want to watch it. I'll let you guys watch it. It'll be disgusting. It'll be disgusting. Oh, no!

What is happening? Team Academic went right away with the Shenanigans. And then Team Jocks did not disappoint. She jumped right into the other chili. And I mean, it was a genius strategy. Just started playing defense, essentially. I thought it was great. Like, just like, hey, let's just like-

Genius strategy. We didn't differentiate that you couldn't go into the other person's pool. I thought that was a brilliant strategy That's a big that's a big thing that I was thinking of I'm like man if I was in these games I'd fucking cheat my ass off because yeah Nobody's really we're giving very vague rules on Want the creative one creative of how do we cheat or get advantage not cheating because it's not stipulated in the rules We like creatively breaking any rules here things So the first person to find the Super Bowl ring won and it ended up being team academic

But there was an unfortunate miss as you guys know the this game existed because I continually lose my Super Bowl ring And I don't even know if Travis still knows this but I legitimately lost my Super Bowl ring. And I don't even know if Travis still knows this, but I legitimately lost my Super Bowl ring in this event. They could not find it. This is Jets Jake and intern Brandon the next day, searching through the chili to try and find the sock that had my Super Bowl ring in it. We have still yet to find it.

All of this stuff has been thrown away. So I think we can safely assume that my Super Bowl ring is now in a landfill someplace in the Cincinnati tri-state area. I didn't think that would happen. What did you expect to happen? I thought that we would just go in the pool and get the ring afterwards. But they were such a fucking imbecile. And there was so much calamity happening that at some point, the only thing I can think of is at some point the sock got kicked out of the three way and it made its way out of the pool and that it was thrown away in some shape or form.

But yes, the the shoe bowl ring is officially gone. We've already put the insurance claim in, which I think the insurance company might have some things to say about whether they're gonna cover that. Yeah, 100% they're gonna have, especially if you're gonna tell the entire world how you lost it. Well, I didn't lose it. First of all, I knew exactly where it was.

No, you didn't. It was in that pool. Nobody knew where it was. It's the same thing as like if I left it in a, if I left it in my house and somebody came to my house and took it, it's the exact same scenario. Jason, you didn't put that Super Bowl ring in a sock and put it in the sock. If I left it in my house and somebody came to my house and took it, it's the exact same scenario. Jason, you didn't put that Super Bowl ring in a sock and put it in the pool. You didn't do that.

It doesn't matter where I put it. I can put it wherever I want as long as I know where it's at. And I knew where it was at. Somebody at some point messed with my Super Bowl ring, which I'm fine with. I mean, it's just a hunk of metal. I'll just have another one made, I think. They can do that, right? I don't know, Jason. Probably. I guess, it's just a hunk of metal. I'll just have another one made. I think they can do that. Right. I don't know. Jason, probably. I guess we're gonna find out. This is also

great. Got a metal detector, which I don't know if kids, if you're watching at home, do not do it. Jason's doing don't do this. Greg, the metal detector doesn't work. He didn't know this, but there's actually metal in Skyline Chili. There's traces of iron within the chili itself. So it's an impossible task to try and use a metal detector. That's probably lead as well in there. So man, so upon truly losing my soul, my Super Bowl ring, there was the next event which was the Electric Trivia. This event consisted of two contestants trying to answer trivia questions while riding a mechanical bull. Shocker, it didn't go well. Neither the Godfather nor the team nerds competitor offered much of a

value and effort. I will say also incredibly hard questions. Like it was like inside joke questions. Like they couldn't just go with regular trivia. Our team had to go with like new heights related trivia. Yep. You got to watch the show guys. If you're going to add, you got to watch the show. Apparently they were not big 92 percenters because there were also some questions that I didn't know there was like This I forgot all about this But either way we had to resort to the tiebreaker, which I like to call common knowledge question It is so ridiculous Travis knows the common knowledge question has always been a part of our repertoire and determining which direction a waterfall goes

When you are doing a drinking game but determining which direction a waterfall goes when you are doing a drinking game. But you can watch that at some point. I'll be up and you'll find out how that works. But that's just as a question that, you know, both people should know the answer to. And the first person to blurt out the answer, there's no buzzer. It's just saying as fast as possible. If it sounds like the same time, you just called a tie and you go to the next question. There's got to be a clear winner.

And the undisputed winner was Dante the godfather that's right hungry bearcats run faster hungry bearcats run faster Travis was uh this was is this one yeah this one was pretty tough I'm not gonna lie I didn't I didn't think this was gonna be a great ending I was actually encouraging the crowd to chant puke to just get it over with I just wanted it. Yeah, cuz it was Stipulate that puking would get you disqualified in this event. Um, I think it's just I think you said Midway through you're like, oh she's about to puke if she does puke she is disqualified Stipulate that just so everybody knew. I

forgot to say this at the beginning. This is the longest fast-eating competition that anybody's ever had and it's only three hot dogs. I'm not exaggerating. I ate three cheese conies that night casually faster than they ate three for speed. Like, it was alarming the slowness at which both of them were eating. I talked to both of them after the race and neither one of them eat chili, so. Neither one of them had ever had Skyline Chili.

Which is rightfully so. You should never actually eat that shit, all right? Juliette, look at this picture of Juliette. She was struggling. Let me tell you, folks. I was struggling watching Juliette. Juliette was having major issues getting this chili dog. And we found out that she's actually she was in France. She was a good sport about it though.

Upon being a HEPT athlete, which apparently she's a very good track runner. So the expectation was high for her to do this drill. Well, um, the American skyline chili was just too much for her French palette to enjoy. She was really really I mean, I like I don't even know if you could count how many times she tried. The French don't eat was happening. If it was a if it was a hot dog of foie gras.

Yeah, she would have nailed. She would have fucking rolled through that shit. Yeah. If it was like a croissant with a brie cheese and some duck, she would have been like, wow. But the Skyline Chili, she could just like, you could tell she was questioning being in America the entire time she was eating that. What the fuck am I doing here? Yeah, no, I felt bad for it because I would have probably have done the exact same thing

she did. And just so everybody knows, knows like they didn't pick their events. They just got like randomly thrown into these events Well, I think they got to pick but they got very vague Descriptions of what the events were but that is that is correct. You said it correctly So I think they found out that this was like a running competition. They're like, hey, let's put the track athlete in this one Little did she know. That's what we told him. I don't know what they told him. This is gonna be, bro. It's gonna be a relay.

Yes. Oh my gosh. That's so fucking funny. That's fucked up to be honest. That's how you trick them. They both went for it though. And let me tell you, as many times as Juliette dry heaved, she never gave up. She kept trying to get that chili dog down. It was impressive perseverance. As soon as the girl Brooke would have ran off

and Juliette hadn't even finished half of her Coney, I would have just been like, all right, this race is over. I'm not guzzling these things down any faster than what I am right now. And she's clearly out to a head start and fuck this. The perseverance that Juliette showed throughout this event. I am right now and she's clearly out to a head start and fuck this. The perseverance that Juliette showed throughout this event. She probably has chili still somewhere in her teeth.

It was inspirational, Juliette. And then the Kelsey Computer, I don't know if you can hear from the clip, but the nerds were the best at understanding the family feud-ness of this event. They were in with the crowd because there were people shouting out these answers, folks. And I know that they were doing it because we were the furthest away in the middle of the stage and we could hear every single people that were shouting it out. And they were right every single time.

All they had to do was say the answer that was being shouted by the entire stadium. And the nerds were the only team able to figure that out. Nerds took Kelsey Computer. Then we leapt into the tush push, which was an event, which I don't know why it was called the tush push, probably just a branding thing, because everybody knows what the tush push is, but it was a contraption from our friends over at Party City

that had a duck and a jump thing. Here's the clip of that. This is a clip of me actually in the beginning testing it out, and let me tell you folks, it was hard to Like it's about something about there's something about a fat guy jumping in Tim's that's just It's it's highly impressive. It's almost satisfying to the eyes. I don't know if it's impressive, but it's fun to watch I was like smiling the entire time watching you do it. I'm just like it it's coming. One of these times, it's not going to be able

to get over. Hey, girly. You made that? Good job. Sorry. Why you show me a fish you made? All right, good. Nice. What kind of fish was it? Was a flounder goldfish? Fish. It did have a flounder. It was very flat because it was two dimensional flounder. It was very flat because it was two dimensional. Which I feel like flounder. It was a fluke. It's the only two dimensional fish out there.

Right, all right, go ahead. But who won tush push? Oh, jock. Tush push was jock, yeah, jock. Which there's not a video of this one. I'm not gonna lie. Sahidi just ate it. Just kept eating it.

She made this competition less about jumping. And she just decided at some some point, she's like, I'm just going to out muscle these girls. We didn't clarify, we should have clarified that if you get touched by the... You're out. That's, you're out. I mean, she at one point was making no effort. That's what I'm saying. Her thighs have got to just have bruises all along that right side of her. Bruises?

It was a pillow. She was getting hit with a pillow, Jason. I mean, she was essentially in a UFC fight taking kicks to the leg. I mean... It was so funny. She was just like, there's no way I'm getting over this jump thing. So I'm just going to keep just getting whacked in the thighs. She really struggled in that one But I mean she almost lasted I mean, yeah

No, I actually I had to call it because the the other two girls were actually like jumping over Yeah, they were actually in it. So you were on her footstep Because she kept putting one foot out I'm like, all right, I'm not gonna be a stickler and say that's out But if she if both those feet are off the X there she's off for mark one more time. I'm I'm calling it Yeah, well cuz they would think what it just been going forever Yeah So the the athletes won that one and then um Travis spelling bee because of course, I can't spell squirrel. I can't spell Schwarzenegger I can't spell anything. Yeah can't spell Schwarzenegger. I can't spell anything.

Yeah, why was it called the Travis spelling bee? Because I'm pretty sure all of them were words that I should have been able to spell that I didn't. You can spell Gronkowski. I should be able to. I think you can get it. G-R-O-N-K, Gronk. Yep.

O-W-S-K-E. O-W, yep. Yeah. Nice. I fucking love Rob Gronkowski yeah, nice. I fucking love Rob Gronkowski though, man. I said Gronkowski. I fucking love Gronkowski. How could I get that one wrong? They got that one wrong, which I was surprised.

That's one of the easier ones to get. I fucking would have not been able to get Schwarzenegger though, and I love him too. I don't know that anybody's getting Schwarzenegger, including Arnold himself. Can you imagine being Arnold on a Scantron trying to fill out that freaking name? What the fuck? On a Scantron? Alright, it is time for my fourth grade proficiency test. For your first question, input your name Arnold.

Fuck! I'm sorry. There's nothing on bubbles. Arnold, you passed with flying colors but you incorrectly put your name on the Scangatron and we can't accept this. That just wasn't enough of a bubbles to put my name in. I don't know how I just made Arnold sound somewhat Italian. All right.

Anyways, we also had Bearcat Basketball, son of Edger and James, Jizzle James compete in the spelling bee with a huge moment at the end When the last word to decide the spelling bee Was one that you guys are gonna enjoy check out this clip The double I'll get you Nailed it. It'll get you either know it or you don't it's one of those only question Giselle got right the entire competition, but he passed it with flying colors for his team and The jocks take the Travis Kelsey spelling bee. It's impressive. I would that's one of those

That's one of those when you're looking at it. You think the relay race Jocks are gonna win that one spelling bee nerds are gonna win that one. Yeah Jocks are going to win that one. Spelling Bee, nerds are going to win that one. Yeah. Not the case in the little baby games. That's right. Not in the case of the little baby games. And then out of nowhere, we just decided that the last game

was for all the points. So every game. We knew that in order to make the last game the most exciting, however the first seven events went, it was going to be worth the necessary amount of points to put either team over on the other one. So it was always gonna come down to the sports pottery they raised.

So ridiculous. And team academics crushed it. Team athletes really got stuck finding the jeans for Jason. Was there ever jeans? There was, they found it eventually. As soon as I see her hightail it, nobody's checking if she fucking saw your name on those jeans. I'm just grabbing a pair and I'm I'm hitting it Nobody checks, of course, they didn't check they just assume like oh, there's no punishment like just grab a pair of jeans

Act like it Make it kid like come on now get called out before you no, no, no, that's not the right one. Oh okay, fine, I'll go back and look. I didn't even know, I didn't even know. Oh I thought it said, oh it said jeans. I thought it said Jason. Oh that's Levi? That's Levi?

I thought that said Jason. So, either way, Jox with a come from behind victory. Sahidi again struggled with the squirt squad game. She really just could not get that water into the bucket. Finally gets over to the jeans, but the nerds really took the lead on the jeans section and officially became the winners of the first ever Great Lumbaby Games.

Let's give it up for the nerds. Let's give it up for these nerds. Congratulations, Team Academic. Just out here doing nerd work, finding a way to win in every phase of life. I love it. The Limp Baby Games will be available exclusively on New Heights social channels starting April 29th.

And that is because there's a lot of cutting up. There's a lot of camera angles. There's a lot of things that our team has to do. And we're a podcast. We're not ESPN. We got to figure that out. So it's going to take a little bit. It's going to take a little bit of time.

It's going to take a second first run. Trav. I think dude, it was unbelievable. It was interesting to try that out. I didn't know how it was going to go. Luckily, the University of Cincinnati really came through as well as party city. So fucking cool, man. And of course, our own team at New Heights.

Somehow they made this shindig happen. And we gotta thank each and every competitor. Not only just made it happen, they made it outstanding. All of the jocks, all of the nerds, all of you guys really made this a special night. And the entire, like, student fan base. So well done. At University of Cincinnati, thank you guys, man.

Again we're going to be putting all these videos up on YouTube eventually. We kicked off the live show with a message from the Jabroni mayor himself. That's right Cincinnati's mayor. No longer Jabroni. Purvall. Don't be Jabroni, know your role and make some noise and let's welcome new heights live. Purvall. It was awesome actually.

You're a vulture. No, he was awesome. I think it's Purvall. I appreciated him for showing up. We could shake his hand and just tell him we appreciate what he's doing for the university, what he's doing for the city of Cincinnati because that place has changed a lot. It's doing for the university, what he's doing for the city of Cincinnati, because that place has changed

a lot. Still great. Me and Jason, since me and Jason were there. And it's really cool to see how much they've not only cleaned up the city, but how much more fun it looks like the city is. Yeah, it just looks like it's an electric city and it's thriving from the time that we were there. Not that it wasn't when we were there, but you can tell they've really put a lot of effort in getting it to where it is today.

I remember not even being able to walk on short on Vine. I mean, Cincinnati was wonderful when we were there. I remember living down by Cincinnati Taft and there wasn't a soccer stadium over there. Exactly. You know, and it was... They've been doing some really good things by the river down by the down on the river. They they got that thing up and running and it's it's thriving down by Bank of America ballpark. I think that's

what it's called. Great American ballpark. Not great America. Great American ballpark. Marriott Tab and the city of Cincinnati is thriving right now and that was evident in our visit there this past week. It was a lot of fun. It was cool seeing all the changes that have happened around campus, downtown. They've gone above and beyond to really take Cincinnati to the next level and I can't wait to see how that future continues to unfold. And it was an awesome gesture by the mayor to introduce us.

They really brought things full circle with the trash talk that ensued a couple years ago to all of a sudden, we're all in this for Cincinnati right now. It was a great moment for every, to come back to the fact that we all care about the 513, right? And we were joined by some awesome guests, man. We had Desmond Ritter came out first,

gave the Bearcats a familiar face to be able to cheer on and listen to, and I'll tell you what, man. Des, every time I hang out with him, man, it's just more and more I'm impressed by who he is and how he carries himself. Couldn't be happier for how his career ended at the University of Cincinnati.

Obviously losing in the college football playoffs, but he carried this program to places that we hadn't been before. New Heights. All right now. He really did, man. He really did. He took the program to New Heights with Fickel,

and sure enough, he gave a lot of us alumni, a lot of the ex-play ex players something prideful to watch and talk about. So, absolutely. And then just to see him do his thing in the NFL and be able to, you know, stand on being a being a solid quarterback, being a great guy, being family oriented and just doing things the right way, man. I'm happy as hell for him and sure.

I mean, it was just an awesome interview. Absolutely. Great person, great Bearcat. Can't wait to see what he does this year in Arizona. A little bit fresh start, which sometimes is the best thing you need. What Des did at Cincinnati speaks for itself. As the most successful quarterback in the history of Bearcat football,

as much as Zach Glarus will probably be upset that we're announcing that. Our former teammate, who love, Antoni Pike. You just can't dispute what Ritter was able to accomplish in the eighth time. And don't get it wrong, Zach appreciates Dez. Like he gives Dez all the love. We just love Zach Kleris.

And I don't know why. We do, we do. Where's that Kleris guy? I also love Dez, especially after interviewing him on the show. It was, you could just tell what an unbelievable teammate, leader, and just overall how important it is to him and You know a little bit upset that he didn't have a great uncle woody story He was so straight-laced that he didn't have something that was ridiculous, but I think that that's what you want in your star quarterback

Yeah, either that or he just knows what he's doing and he ain't letting the cat out of the bag then we had a of that or he just knows what he's doing and he ain't letting the cat out of the bag. Then we had former Chief turned Cincinnati Bang or Orlando Brown, one of my favorite teammates of all time, man. That's right. Talking about his dad's water boy moment to get him how to... Sometimes you just got to tap in. You just got to go somewhere that nobody else knows how to get there, man. It's so cool here hearing some of the stories

that Orlando shared, not only with his time in Baltimore, Kansas City, but obviously now that he's in Bangal, in front of that crowd, it was pretty cool to see. Yeah, and lastly, I think the crowd was crazy all evening, but there was one moment when it got easily the loudest that it could possibly get in that building. And that's the moment Joe Burrow came out of that tunnel.

I mean, Joey, everybody lost one bit. He was such a good dude, man. Such a good, great, such a competitor. Great stories. He's obviously a known big alien guy. Oh, that's where we share, baby. We big on aliens. We don't want to spoil too much of our conversation with Joe, but he was more than open about

a lot of things that have taken place throughout his career and kind of what's happening currently and also with who is the spicier white boy Travis or Joe. It was awesome. It was awesome to see him. Incredibly nice of him to agree to come on the show as was Orlando Brown and Des Ritter. All of these conversations were a joy for us and can't thank you guys enough for coming on, man. Forever grateful, man. Appreciate you guys. Lastly, we ended the night in a truly epic fashion since neither of us got a chance to walk during a graduation ceremony. We both have already got our degrees.

I got mine maybe a few years after Jason did, but we still, we had our degrees going into it. So all of you that are thinking this was a graduation ceremony because we just finished our degrees and it was a very like serious thing. We appreciate Cincinnati's president and athletic director for doing this, but it was kind of just a fun way to close out the night Hopefully you guys can understand That me chugging the beer Was because I had a beer in my hand and I had to receive the diploma

So I had to get the beer out of my hand some way Might as well just finish it. It happened to be full don't know how that happened Well, they kind of stay full as we saw when you threw it on the ground and there was still beer pouring out of it. Pouring out of it? That was more like foam. It was foam because I couldn't get the air flow. There's not that much foam in the can, Travis.

Yeah, there is one. You can't get the air flow and it's just like dumping out. If there's anything anybody should have been upset with, it's the fact that you didn't finish that chug. That's my that you didn't finish that chug. That's my main- I did finish the chug. That's why I was upset, is that there was this way- I did finish the chug.

... spillage to consider that a successful chug. Jason, you were scared to race me. I was not scared. You were scared. I was willing. You're terrifying. I'm terrified. You were terrified.

All right, we'll get to this. You don't want the misery that's coming. Yeah, sorry for everybody that got upset about this. I mean, it just wasn't that kind of event. It wasn't that serious. There were two women wrestling in a vat of chili before this. That's the athletic director posing with me.

And I've never been to a commencement because I skipped mine, but I'm pretty sure the athletic director isn't the person that hands you your diploma. I loved receiving this diploma from John Cunningham. I'd prefer it from nobody else. It was an absolutely fun night littered with all sorts of shenanigans. And you know, in the words of the great Charles Barkley, I don't think Travis or I should be anybody's role model We love we love Chuck we love we do love the kids and we love Chuck

I think if you would have finished your beer, I think people would have been way less upset with you I think that was the main thing that got people upset. It was a tall boy. I had already had a few I Was showing that there was beer in the can by doing the water Yeah, you go away from the mouth to show that it's actually going it's it's it's making its entrance Yes, and then I'm not just faking it, you know There's foam when you do that Jason if you don't have the correct airflow, which I couldn't fucking I couldn't Acceptable foam in a beer can chug It was beyond the threshold of an acceptable,

like if we chugged off and you slammed that on the ground, I would for sure be calling for a info on this group of disqualification. Well if we were chugging a beer, I wouldn't do it out of a can where there was no air flow. It would be a shotgun and I would have air flow. That way it wouldn't foam up. All I'm saying, people chug out of beer cans all the time.

If there's that much foam coming out of the can, I think universally we can accept that that is not a complete chug. Nope. That's all I'm saying. Nope. I chug faster than you. Well, I guess we'll let Twitter decide. Twitter decide, please, please, please make sure you tell Travis

that he did not finish his chug and that it was, that was the most unacceptable moment of that show. I don't know how we're gonna top this at our next live event. Cincinnati truly made it a special evening. Not only the people there, which were into it the entire time, but the entire Cincinnati staff on hand at Fifth Third Arena. It was

remarkable how well this thing went off without a hitch, especially considering Travis and I had nothing to do with any of it. These guys just made it such a wonderful evening as well as our own New Heights team. We're going to continue to thank these guys out. The creativity and thought process that went into this was spectacular. The guests that showed up, the president of the university. It was an amazing night in Cincinnati. And I don't know that we'll ever be able to top what just occurred.

So really, really big shout out to everyone involved and everyone who attended and all the 92%ers, Bearcats and of course, Swifties that were at the event. Thank you very much. Thank you guys. Oh, we also got a sweet video from Operation Breakthrough. Nice OB. Which of course Travis and 87 and running has participated with in the past. They sent over this clip of of your graduation. Congratulations! You did it! I want to be just like you. Yeah, inspiration. Yeah, it's a big inspiration because it makes me want to finish school

and to tell myself to keep going and not to stop. We love you Travis Kelsey. Great job. Yep, just when you think you're not a role model, they send you a video. Hey kids, you see what Travis did? Just, you wanna be exactly like I do? It would have been how awesome would have been

if they all like chugged apple juice. Dude, this is awesome. I love it. The Operation Breakthrough kids are just the sweetest, man. I still gotta get my truck over to Operation Breakthrough if they're gonna turn that thing electric. My old school Chevy, get these kids on there.

Get it in line because after what we saw them do, due to the Chevelle that they turned electric, I'm pretty sure everybody in the city wants to get their old school turned electric. As it was on display at the Kelsey Car Jam. Hopefully we have another one of those this year where we can showcase the Bronco that they're actually converting at this moment.

Yeah, they're converting an old school Bronco into electric. The team is working on getting all that live show videos out to you guys ASAP, but please be patient with it. It'll be worth it at the end when we get that thing perfect. Please follow the show on all social media and subscribe on the YouTube channel so you don't miss when those videos drop. We're going to keep doing this live show thing. I believe it was something me and Jason both had a fucking blast with and we'll definitely keep everyone in the loop on when we're doing another one. The arena deal was pretty fun but Jason is pretty set on doing a stadium at

some point. So, um, I really want to do the link. I'm just going to throw this out there. I think doing an episode in the link, I know that being inside made it happen way better, but gosh, I just feel like the link would be so special. Well, the link is the link and if you have an event in the link, it'd be unbelievable. But the link also holds 80,000, Jason. Well, hey.

You have to get some good guests, huh? Are you questioning Philadelphia fans? I don't think you're questioning Philadelphia fans. I'm questioning me, Jason. That's what I'm questioning. I'm questioning who is gonna show up. But yeah, shout out to Cincinnati. Appreciate you guys, love you guys.

Everybody involved, it was unbelievable. Heyo. Just wanna say how grateful we are for the experience and the time that everybody put in. Absolutely. All right now, it's time to get out of the house. Get out of the house. Jason, you were literally Mr. Out of the House this week. I love it when you get out of the house! Getting out of the house. Jason, you were literally Mr. Out of the House this week.

I love it when you get out of the house because it's so unexpected of shit that you do outside of the house. Yeah, I've been out of the house for too long. Out of the House is brought to you by our friends at Accelerator Active Energy Drink. That's right, Accelerator Active Energy is available at QuickTrip, Giant Eagle, Meyer, Amazon,

and for all you Philly area 92 percenters, it is now available at your favorite store, Wawa. Ooh, it's at the Wawa, love it. Yes sir. Jason, you made a WrestleMania appearance. I did, it happened. Dude. Pretty awesome.

Talk about the link. 80,000 people in here packed for WrestleMania. Jason got out of the house and went down to the link for WrestleMania 40. Right in Philly. And damn, you and Lane did not disappoint. You guys look like a tag team nobody wants to fuck with. I'm not gonna lie, my biceps are looking good. Look at that picture.

Yeah, how much did you guys lift before you guys went out there? We were using a lot of bands and Kylie kept making fun of me because I was really obsessed with how my biceps looked. I'm proud of you. They look great. It's just the honest answer. I'm not going to hide. Not ashamed.

They look like my thighs. Going in there with a cutoff, I'm going to get them things popping. Dude, there's nothing more electric than cutoff jeans and Tims. It just shows that he's a hard working man and you don't fuck with that. You just don't fuck with that. And then you jumped over the rope. The double jump over the rope was one of the most athletic things

I think I've seen you do. I feel like people think it's that hard. That's a steel cable that is like, has some elasticity to it. And I just vaulted. You can tell you've ran from the cops and jumped the fence with it. That's what I saw.

I'm like, dude, he just got out of there. You had the luchador mask on. Were people screaming it was you when you got in the lane? Everyone knew it was me and Johnson. Well, who was close to us? There there were people from I've seen some social clips of people further away that Who's that that couldn't tell but anybody that was up close and personal? Knew right away. It was Lane and I knew it was Lane Johnson and Jay Mysterio See what I did there. Yeah

Dude Ray Mysterio was one of our fucking favorites. He was like one of the guys that could, he was an acrobat, he was just aerial at all times, just doing flips and just cool ass shit. What was that Nintendo 64 game with Rey? It was like WCW versus NWO. Oh yeah, oh yeah. You wanna talk about it.

Rey was the one that like, he was the most fun to play with him because he could do all the like the different acrobats and finish your moves. All the cool shit. This is awesome. God damn, that just took me back to all those fucking sleepovers when we were 10 years old. It's a great game. Very solid game.

When did you find out what you were exactly going to do at WrestleMania? We knew that we were going to be involved with these masks, but we didn't really find out the full extent until pretty much like two hours right before the show. There's like a little backstage area that you're kind of like figuring things out. Nice. So they're like, it's like a New Heights production.

You just find out like five minutes before you go out there, what's going on. Pretty much, yeah. The whole time I thought we were kind of like behind the eight ball here, but it looks like, it looks like we're pretty spot on with the best productions in the world. We knew we were on Ray's team,

which they didn't have to tell us that. So, from there it was just, you know, operation, get it done. Yeah, also I thought Ray Mysterio was gonna be way smaller. You and Ray Mysterio are the exact same size We are we are same size. You can tell just by that photo alone Don't look at the next one. Oh yeah, I

Didn't see the biceps not looking as good in that one So at one point Lane, I think Lane wanted to take a shirt off He's like you want to take your shirt off. So then I ripped mine off like the Hulkster. And then I proceeded to look like, you know, I was trying to keep my shirt on because I'm really developing this Burt Kreiser. I feel like I'm still in Burt Kreiser's freaking bit

and I don't want to steal your bit, Burt, but I feel like this was a big bear. This is an acceptable time to have that shirt off. You're just a big bear. That shit's hilarious. I can say that it was fun as hell watching you up there knowing that we used to fuck around as WWF, WWE fucking jabronis as kids man. It was cool to see you up there having some fun. Oh dude. You also got to meet The Rock backstage dude. How

electric was that? Well I've met him before actually he came to the Eagles facilities train him before one of the One of the WWE events earlier in my career He probably doesn't remember that but I remember it because I think everybody remembers when you meet the Rock for the first time All right now, but it was awesome to see him again obviously under different pretenses this time and obviously under different pretenses this time. And I'm just happy he's back involved with WWE in a very meaningful way. He's been such an explosive personality for the wrestling world. And obviously he's gone on to, I don't want to say bigger and better things, but I mean

to become the superstar he is outside of the wrestling world. I think selfishly everybody in the wrestling community is happy to become the superstar he is outside of the wrestling world I think selfishly everybody in the wrestling community is happy to see The Rock back even if he's talking shit to Jalen pissed off all of Philadelphia. Yeah he's the villain right now. I know he's well they call him the heel and in wrestling the villain is called the heel. Found that one out this week. There you go.

There you go. Awesome seeing The Rock. I don't know there's a more iconic individual in America Nice. Right now than The Rock. Oh, if there's one more thing I want to say about WrestleMania, and I mentioned this there, I think they should figure out a way to get the commentators

in the live performance because the live performance is incredible. You're hearing the pounding of the ring. It really echoes and it makes you feel like you're a part of it There's really an element that I think you get from from McAfee or whoever's doing the commentating when like from the top rope Oh my gosh, how is he ever gonna do it ladies and gentlemen like that adds this excitement to it that I really think you would have taken it to the next level. But yeah, I hear you on that Yeah, it's probably not great audio quality. Yeah.

But I hear you on that. I'm sure there's a reason they don't do it. I guarantee you they've thought about this, yes. Yeah, yeah, you're probably right. Okay, well. Well, other out of the house news. We have Travis at Coachella, that's right. After the live show, Travis didn't stop being

out of the house. He took a plane over to California and went to Coachella Music Festival. Not your first time there, Travis. You and I have both been numerous times. Yeah. It's a fun weekend of festivities. I love live music, man. I absolutely love live music.

Hard to be. I don't get enough of it in my life. I really enjoy any event. I just like going to events, going places where people are, seeing talents, all these talented people in the world. I just like to experience that type of shit. I love experiencing new cultures. That's the one thing that I really enjoy about Coachella is that it's not just one genre of music. Genre? I agree. It's everything. It's everything not just one genre of music. I agree. It's everything.

It's everything. I mean, that's where I first saw Chromio. Dude, the Funk Lords. Man, I fucking love the Funk Lords. They really do have every genre you could think of at Coachella. I mean, not a lot of country acts. Every single one. That's not like their thing.

A couple years ago, Danny Ellsman, like composer, he had like a symphony playing in the desert. It was unbelievable. They got everything there. Yeah, they got everything. It's always like creative, good artists. Like great artists. Yeah, I always appreciated it, man. And it was fun.

It was fun getting out there and seeing a few new bands that I really wasn't like that familiar with and just became an absolute lover of their music because of how they perform and how they captivated the crowd and got everybody into it. The bleachers, like Jack Antenoff, absolutely ripped it. I had so much fun seeing him go nuts with the guitar and all his boys, he had two sax players, two drummers, two guitars, and they just ripped it. And it was so much fun.

Everybody kinda had their own time on the keyboard. It was, that was fun as hell to watch. One of my favorite bands out right now, Jungle, they absolutely killed it. Played one of my favorite songs called Casio. And I was out there grooving to that joint. Yeah. Casio.

Playing on my heart. Gosh, who else did I say? Oh my, how could I forget my guy Dom Dala? Dom Dala. One of my favorite DJs out here, man. Dom Dala. Dom Dala, yeah. He absolutely kills it every single time and

sure enough it was his own set at Coachella. He did two sets. He is he's also in a combined DJ group with John Summit and they did one the day before so I didn't get to see that one because I was still working but Saturday was such a fun fun day man and yeah I love I love going to Coachella, man. Hopefully I can keep going, but obviously, you know the schedules always fill the fuck up real quick in the off season. Dude, the one thing you gotta be ready for at Coachella,

you gotta take your hand time, it is some walking and dancing, like you're moving at Coachella. There's like seven different stages. Yeah. I guess who'd you, we know who you went with. We saw the pictures. All right, we know who you went with. We saw the pictures. All right, we know who you went with. How was the difference, big New Heights supporter

sold out of the green hat real quick. It's a good color green. How was Coachella different? Because I expected you guys to be backstage like mostly with the musicians, right? But it seemed like you guys were like in the crowd. I'd like to see it front from the from the fan's perspective like the people that actually like like because I am I'm a I'm a fan of the music I'm a fan of live shows

I want to see it from the front of the stage yeah we we probably could have finessed it that way but I think it's just that much more of an experience if you're in the if you're in the pit man if you're in The madness with all the all the fans. Well, you are your feet. It was awesome though. I'm all the walking No, gosh So one thing I regret every year is how much walking it is It's amazing every year, but it's a lot of walking. It's really not. Oh, you're out. You're out of your mind, dude We barely do we were walking walking stages or age or walking to the bathroom, which it's a lot of walking. It's really not. Oh, you're out of your mind, dude We barely do we were walking you're walking from stages or you're walking to the bathroom

Which is like a well if you know the terrain Jason, you know how to get to each stage quickly and efficiently It's a lot and then especially and then you got a note afterwards where we're like walking to the whatever house for staying at I got a cheat code. I know where I know where to stay where it's just like a quick like block walk What you want you're out of that? I thought I had that too. I know exactly where those houses are and it's still you don't Know you yeah, you're in it's you're you're insane. You know, it's a lot a lot of walking. Listen Coachella's great Just get ready to walk How to save how to save no it is not and if you are sandals, that's what you fucking get Jason. I No, it is not and if you wore sandals, that's what you fucking get Jason.

I think we restocked the the green hat though. So uh everybody head over to homage.com New heights to get the green hat. Uh, those are going to be uh gone pretty quickly now that we just uh informed everyone I know i'm gonna buy a few. I fucking love that green hat That's uh, really a really good shade of green coachella is always fun. Shout out to all the performers Shout out to accelerator active energy for bringing this segment to you. Out of the house. All right, man. All right, let's get to some No Dumb Questions.

That's right, it's time for one of our favorite segments. We do it almost every week because we love dumb people with No Dumb Questions. No Dumb Questions is brought to you by Tommy John Underwear. Tommy John makes the most comfortable underwear on the planet, no adjustment needed. From user Liz, Liz off H-Town. Liz of Houston, there we go.

There you go. If you could choose any two sports to combine together, a la baseball, which two sports would you choose and why? It's pretty good. Reading this before, I immediately thought of one of my favorite movie sports scenes of all time, which is Happy Gilmore when Bob Barker beats the shit out of Happy.

It's a great one. It's a great movie. Solid movie. Seeing that in real life would be unbelievable. So I'm gonna say boxing and golf. I feel like we kinda did. I would combine, we did do something like this.

NASCAR and gymnastics. It was fighting. What sport would we allow fighting in? I think we were just changing the rules and we made NASCAR that you could drink and drive or something like that. It was something like that. Ah, yeah, drinking and sports, that's what it was.

We're gonna make this very clear. No, do not like that. Ha, yeah, drinking in sports, that's what it was. We're gonna make this very clear. No, do not do that. Unless NASCAR does it, you guys do not do it. No, don't do it, even in NASCAR. Let's avoid that. We don't wanna be good role models. It's a big pillow nowadays. Everybody's in that car like it's strapped down.

Yeah, NASCAR and gymnastics. NASCAR and gymnastics? This has just become Evil Knievel or some shit. They gotta do like the floor mat while like a NASCAR, you gotta jump over the car while it's moving full speed. This just sounds like Nitro Circus. You gotta do and you gotta land it, you gotta stick the landing. The car does like a bunch of flips and sticks it.

They'd have this actually with monster trucks. It sounds like monster trucks, I'm not gonna lie, but with regular cars. And it's probably some of the things that these monster trucks are doing when they're in the air. I think you're right. Monster trucks are cooler. They are unbelievable. Yeah, you're right. It already exists. It's called monster trucks. All right. I saw a clip of somebody playing hockey and football. It was like football rules on the ice. Oh, I did see that. That was a great. I mean it was nice It's incredibly dangerous. I mean didn't a hockey player just have a neck slit Can you imagine trying to tackle somebody and drag somebody down with skates attached to their feet?

I think I don't think they had skates on I think it was just football on ice. They're just running quit Yeah, well either way terrible idea cuz I don't know if people know this but kind of ice is harder than concrete Hard as fuck. It sucks getting hit down on ice. How about swimming and sharpshooting? So what would be the weapon? It would just be like a bow? Like a crossbow?

You've got to tread water while you're shooting sporting clays or something like that? Like archery? Okay. What's a good thing to combine with swimming? Have you seen the torpedoes? The little torpedo like soccer game that they play underwater? No, that sounds exciting though. Remember the little torpedo, the rubber torpedoes that you used to throw underwater and you

would see it like a submarine just like you could pass it underneath water to your friend? I don't, but it sounds great. I'm not gonna lie. All right, we used to play this all the time. Oh, you're talking about just like the little ones that you would throw under there. They turned that into an actual game where you could fucking tackle people

and hold them underwater. And it sounds like my kind of game. It is, it is your kind of game. What about, ooh, this is a good one. Lacrosse and polo. Because it doesn't make sense that those guys on horseback are hitting that ball all the way on the ground. Just play lacrosse and polo. Because it doesn't make sense that those guys on horseback are hitting that ball all the way on the ground. Just play lacrosse on horseback.

Ooh. I think that'd be a legit game. That would be legit. Did you know you have to have, like, four horses per person? Per person? Why do you have to have four per person? I don't know. I just heard that, so I thought I'd throw it out there and see if you want to call bullshit on it. I'm calling bullshit on it. I don't really know I just heard that, so I thought I'd throw it out there and see if you want to call bullshit on it. I'm calling bullshit on it, I don't really know why you would need that.

Four per person? Yeah, I don't get on the horse. Endurance maybe? I don't know. Oh, maybe that's it, they got a sub, the horse in and up. That's my kind of sport. Let's let the horse get tired, I'll just sit on top and have all the fun. That's a good point.

I kinda like that. I kinda wanna play it just once. Lacrosse, horseback riding? Yeah, me and horses just don't. Dude, do you remember Whirly Ball? Whirly Ball, yes. It was bumper carts. It was bumper carts and lacrosse.

That was a great game. Great game. That's what I'm talking about. It's in Columbus, Ohio for those of you that are around the Columbus area. Worley ball. I mean, make sure you guys go check it out. Are we sure they invented that? I mean, I know it's in that area, but it's gotta be elsewhere.

Dude, I've been trying to find it everywhere else and I can't find it anywhere. What are we doing? Let's open up some Worley ball spots. Dude, they're so fucking fun. I went there not too long. I went there like four or five years ago. Do you think 1587 Prime could have a back side of the building that has a whirly ball court?

No, this is not that kind of establishment, Jason. This is not that kind of establishment, no. It's not? Okay. It should be. How about skydiving? Is skydiving a sport? We can make it.

Skydiving and slam dunk contests. That'd be a pretty incredible. I don't know what, how, like, are the hoops in the air or where are they? I mean, it's to be determined. Depends on how many points you want. You can go all the way to the ground, but it's a lot harder to get it in there.

You get hoops at different levels. What about skydiving and like track? Like who can get to the by who can get to land first Now you're thinking who can get to land first who's gonna who's gonna pull their parachute You're basically playing chicken I think it's a fantastic idea. It'd be very fun. It's a fantastic idea I think it's a fantastic idea. It'd be very funny. It's a fantastic idea.

You remember the great outdoor games when they would climb the pole and then do as fast as possible. And I'm like, what are we doing here, guys? This is electric is what it is. More on the line. Way, way more speed. Travis Pastrana would be dead.

No, you can't kill that guy. There's no way he's backing down. He'd figure it out though. He'd figure it out It'd be some you figure that's what I'm saying. I can die Travis Pastrana doesn't die. All right. Yeah, knock on wood shout out to all the cool Travis's out there that made my name cool the only person in the world with more lives than a cat Travis Pastrana The only person in the world with more lives than a cat. Travis Pastrana. And that does it for No Dumb Questions brought to you by Tommy John Underwear. Time to round up some NFL news.

That's right. Let's talk about football since this is still a football slash sports podcast. I suppose. Starting with some Eagles updates. Devontae Smith and Jordan Malata, two of our favorites here on the show, man, got paid big time. It was announced on Monday that the Eagles wide receiver Devontae Smith agreed to three years, $75 million, an extension that was well worth it.

Smith's deal includes 51 guaranteed. God damn! Is Smitty an underrated part of this offense? Do you think he doesn't get enough credit? I mean, he's definitely not underrated by anybody on the team. I think listen, he's playing next to the best receiver in the NFL and AJ Brown. So it's easy to see that maybe he gets less credit than is probably deserved because of the greatness that AJ Brown has displayed.

But I can tell you anybody in the Eagles. I mean, the route running ability of Devontae Smith is insane to watch in person. Like he's just you talk about like my dance moves versus your dance moves. This is the smoothest motherfucker I know. Like he is a smooth cat. It is insane player the way he moves and gets out of breaks and the level at which he entered the NFL and how good he is He's silky. Oh My gosh silky smooth off the field. You see some of the things he's wearing. He is got some fat He's smooth. No matter what he talks smooth

He's also just he's one of those guys that in his head He is one of the most mentally tough like just like killers that I've played with in the best possible way like I mean it only complimentary fashion like this is a guy you want to play football with he embodies the mindset don't don't let his skinny stature fool you this guy has every bit of a football players mindset I cannot say enough good things about Devontae Smith as a player, as a person, as a personality, outstanding young man who just got three years

and 75 million. So shout out to my man, Schmidty. That's a whole lot of money. And it's a whole lot of bread. And a former guest on the show, Jordan Malata is also getting paid this off season. Jordan and the Eagles agreed to a three year, 66 million dollar contract extension,

which includes 48 million dollars guaranteed and 20 million in the signing bonus. He just got 20 million dollars richer by putting his John Hancock on a paper. That's pretty good. How about that? How about that? That'll get you a whole lot of real estate

over there in Australia. Hell yeah. You can go over there and get all that delicious candy, that good old rich chocolate. You can order at least 15 million Bloomin' Onions at Outback with that. Like it is. That's a lot. Ooh, baby! It's the only onion I'll eat fried.

Yeah. I mean, it's probably not buying you that much. I think they overcharge for the blooming onion, but whatever. It's damn good though, man. It's damn good. Yeah, it includes a 48 million guaranteed and a $20 million signing bonus per Adam Shifter. Yeah, man, it's Howie's season.

This is what Howie does better than I think. I mean, I'm biased, but anybody else, at finagling the situation of the cap, what players are, first of all, do in real life, but then also what is going to be their cap hit. The Eagles are so good at moving that around and avoiding the salary cap from really ever being an issue. I can't think of one time in my tenure with the Eagles that there has been this issue with, you know, that the cap is too high or too low or the Eagles don't have room to sign somebody that they want to.

I feel like at all times they know how to move things around to get accomplished what they want to accomplish. And I mean you see it from other teams they just don't move with that type of fluidity. They get hamstrung with either guys who are really high on the books or you know players that are unhappy with their pay. It feels like the Eagles, I mean we saw that last year with Assan right? Assan Rekhi is now gone he wanted more money last year. I just feel like the Eagles I mean we saw that last year with a son right and a son Rick is now gone He wanted more money last year. I just feel like the Eagles deal with that Less than anybody else. They really are this is one of the things they do So well is they know how to allocate these resources. They know how to move money around

I think in part that's a credit to how we and his understanding of in part that's a credit to Howie and his understanding of all of the ins and outs of the salary cap and the full ways to take advantage of the structures of these contracts. I think it's also a point of emphasis on Jeffrey Lurie. They have the cash to do all these things because it's one thing to be able to maneuver the cap, but it's also one thing that the owner has to be willing to shell out cash at different points to make these things happen and give the resources possible to the GM to do as much as this and to allow Howie to operate with this type of freedom. I think the both of them combined as well as other people in the in the building. You know, Jake Bryce, like there's

there's a lot of people in the building that go into making this one of the Eagle strengths. But Howie for sure gets the credit and he should. They know how to extend players when to extend players. They know how to move money around. These numbers might look astronomical, but they know that the cap's only going up. And by doing these deals earlier, these numbers change as that cap goes up to be more in line with or actually more of a, not in line, they're already in line, more of a deal for the Eagles long term if they believe in these guys, which they clearly do. For good reason. Listen, I think it's certainly been a strength of the Eagles and they have not shied away from

exploiting all of the rules and not carve outs, but all of the rules and different tools that are possible within the guidelines of the salary camp. They know how to finagle all that. And it's been one of their strengths, quite frankly. So shout out to both Jordan and Devontae Smith. Both of these guys are more than deserving of these numbers. There's a lot of guys around the league looking right now to get better contracts from their teams or to be paid what they think they're owed and some of these teams are handcuffed and that's based on deals and structures

that they've already done beforehand and you're seeing it right now. Well I'm happy those two guys got paid they're fucking deserving of it both not not only two of the best NFL players in the National Football League but just two of the best teammates and guys you could have League. But just two of the best teammates and guys you could have around. So you love to see the good guys get paid and broke off accordingly, man. Especially when they're doing shit the right way.

Packers deface Eagles in the league's first ever game in Brazil. That's right, Eagles, Packers in the Corinthians arena. Down there, week one too. First game of the year, breaking it out down there in Brazil It's probably going to be hotter than hell boys to make sure you hydrate Brazil is known to be right there on the equator and we know

His science well, no, it'll be it'll be winter for Brazil It'll be winter for them down there at the equator. Does it does that have anything to do? I don't think tell me it's gonna be snowing equator I don't think it really matters I think it's just yeah what is it gonna be 80 instead of a hundred and five I think that's a big difference let's be honest you got me there I got myself there I guess the Corinthians arena is the home of Brazil's soccer team SC Corinthians it was also announced that the first game in 50 years a game will be played on Friday night of the opening weekend in NFL So in in history, yeah, they won't jump off the season

But they'll be the second the first game that's played on Friday night. Yeah, the second game of the year will be this Friday night game I'm listen. I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about this, especially Philadelphia fans, big travel, ramifications for this home opener. I'm excited about it. We've talked about this before. You and I are big fans of the international games. I think it's really cool playing in these unique situations and stadiums. I've been to Brazil, I actually went to the Brazil for the World Cup in 2016

with some fellow teammates and it was outstanding. Obviously this is a different sport, that was the country's national sport of soccer that I was participating with. But I went to Corinthians Arena, we got to see a game live there. How much walking did you do? Not as much as Coachella, but got to see a game live there. How much walking did you do? Not as much as Coachella, but it was quite a bit of walking. Yeah, it's going to be an incredible experience. I fully anticipate that.

And Brazil's just got a wonderful culture. It's got great food, great people, a culture that likes to party. So they're going to be geared up for this. They like sports, They like physical fitness sports physical fitness partying Sounds like a perfect mix for the NFL. Listen, I think I think the NFL is gonna enjoy this game Who do you think has more fans down there? The Eagles or the Packers? That's a real question. I Think it's gonna be it Brazil strikes me as more of an Eagles crowd

But yeah big fan of Brazil. Went down there for the World Cup, stayed for a full week, saw, I think with the five games, went to Rio, Sao Paulo and Brasilia. Who was your favorite individual player you saw at the Rio games? I mean, the one that I was the most excited to see because of his standing in the world at the time was messy. We did not go to an Argentina game. We went to a Brazil game though,

and the other guy that was right up there with him was Neymar. So got to see Neymar play in person. Stunned. Brazil won against Chile in penalty kicks. It was a fantastic game. But we got to party on the Rio beach with a bunch of other Americans.

They had like a whole like. Jason, you're not supposed to go down there and party with Americans. You're supposed to party with the culture. Listen, you know us. We find each other. We find each other. It's easy to spot just by what you're wearing.

You know right away. That's an American right there. Cargo shorts. Did, I'll tell you what though. Messi played in Kansas City this past weekend. Nice, nice. Yeah, he played in Arrowhead actually. It's not the same messy messy played in Kansas City this past weekend nice Yeah, he played an arrowhead actually the same he played an arrow. Not the same being in the MLS Why is it not saying cuz it's the emote shit on the MLS. I'm not shitty on the MLS

I'm saying it's not international soccer. Don't when you think of soccer. I know there's all these wonderful clubs overseas There's the MLS. I think of the World Cup. That's all I'm saying. It's international play. And then everything else is for me. It's all about. I know nearly dude. It's a lot of people love the Premier League. A lot of people love Barcelona and Milan. To me, it's all about international play for soccer. That's all I care about. I mean, I get it. Would you ever watch the UFL? Which one was the UFL?

Would you ever watch the XFL? I would. You would watch the XFL, but you won't watch the MLS. I didn't say I won't watch it. I'm just saying it wasn't the same level as seeing, it wouldn't, like, seeing Messi play for Miami is not the same as when he played in Barcelona or when he was at the world stage of the World Cup. That's all I'm saying, that is not the same as when he played in Barcelona or when he was at the world stage of the World Cup.

That's all I'm saying, that's not the same. He just won the World Cup, like less than a year ago. Seeing Michael Jordan in a golf course is not the same as seeing Michael Jordan in a bull's uniform, all right? Jason. Just being honest, it's not. You're seeing one person on the biggest stage possible. You're seeing one person on the biggest stage possible with the biggest team in history. This is the best soccer player ever at the World Cup.

That's different than seeing Lionel Messi tearing it up in Kansas City. Just saying. Dude, it's the same. It's Lionel Messi. It's not the same. It's not the same. Dude, it's the same. It's Lionel Messi. It's not the same. It's not the same. Dude, it was the same when Ibrahimovic went fucking crazy in LA.

It's great. It's electric. He made the MLS fun to watch last year. I'm not saying it's not good for MLS. I'm not saying it's not great. I'm saying it's not as good. I'm not saying that it sucks that he plays in Miami. That's awesome for the MLS.

I think it's great for American soccer. I just think it's nowhere near when he scores a goal for Argentina and the entire country is erupting in cheers because it means more to Argentina than any other sport on the planet. That's all I'm saying. All right, well that's fair. I didn't think you were saying it like that at first,

but I get it now. All right, well shout out to Messi, shout out to Rio, and big shout out to the NFL, expanding the game, getting into more countries. Hopefully Brazil brings the juice, baby. I wanna see how their crowd reacts to a little American football, man. Dude, one other thing that was the coolest thing in Brazil,

first of all, every time their national team plays, they consider it a national holiday. So the entire country shuts down. Then, whenever you weren't, so some of the games are happening in Brazil at other places while you're just out and about, and they're so into soccer that the entire country would erupt to the point that you could hear

a cheer happening from everybody in the city of Rio. That's cool. De Janeiro, you could hear that erupt the moment Brazil scored while you're just walking down the street. That's so fucking dope. Yeah, it was dope.

It was so cool. As well as- Like you're walking outside the stadium at all times. Yep, Brazil just scored. There was a, oh yeah, also saw Christ the Redeemer. Nice, yeah. That was pretty cool. Pretty cool.

Probably the coolest Christ statue. Is it his biggest person? I think it takes the Christ cake of statues. Yeah, it's the biggest one. We also got a couple updates on the Chiefs roster front. Defensive end, Mike Dana has just resigned with the Kansas City Chiefs. Yeah, Detroit's finest. Dana recorded the best in sacks and tackles for loss last season. I think it's a big signing for you guys.

Very unheralded player. I think nationally. He just tough as nails. Just comes to work every single day with his fucking lunch pail man. He's got a little like trying to figure out how to describe this to fans. But so when you're when you're when you have like a third down package out there, you typically have. Players that are certain roles, Mike Dana fills that role of like

he can run a game with anybody, he can drop out into coverage, he can win one on one matchups at a surprising rate over a guard because he's got a level of athleticism that's unique when you're rushing over a guard. I think that he is a big part of allowing Coach Spags to be creative in these blitz packages. You'll see him do a lot of different things with Mike Dana. He's a guy that I was always assessing where he was at because you would try and, okay, because it was 51, right? Yeah, 51. He's like that chest piece that a lot of it stems off of.

Correct. So you try and get tells. Yep. Some defenses call him the adjuster. So if he's over here, it's like, okay, I'm pretty confident either they're running a game over here. There's something's happening over here or it could just be straight up. Like spags are smart enough that he knows how to hide that. But that's the type of headache that a guy like that causes teams because you consider them a three technique, but he's really like a DN outside linebacker playing three technique but he's really like a DN outside linebacker playing three technique because he's a little bit bigger and he can win that matchup on the guard as well as run games as well as drop off into coverage these are guys that in my opinion don't really get the

credit they deserve but they're big pieces within the defensive structure so I actually think this is a really good signing and happy to see these back in Kansas City shout out to Mike he's back in Kansas City. Shout out to Mike for being back in KC. Yeah, Mike! And something we didn't get a chance to talk about on the show over the past couple weeks. The Chiefs have also signed former European Rugby League star Luis Rees Zamet. Rees Zamet, I have no idea if I'm pronouncing this right.

Yep, I don't even know. I have no idea either. I've talked to him though, and he's pumped. Is he French? No, he's Welsh. He's from Wales. Look at this debonair dude, man. He's just got the big white teeth, the jaw. He's an attractive guy, I'm not gonna lie. His favorite movie is the Titanic. He loves music from Beyonce and Adele. The guy is just as suave as it gets.

When I think of Welsh, I think of just I think British people call him posh. I think of like these rich upper class, just beautiful white people. And he is like just the running stereotype of what I would think of with a Welsh person. I don't know if that's an accurate like stereotype that I have in my head. But that's certainly what I think of, and he's helping continue that trend in my mind. Well, there you go.

I'm excited to see what this guy does. I don't know about you. I'm pumped too, and he said he's ready for the lateral whenever, when we were texting. Oh, nice. Nice. Well, listen, he played rugby, so he's gonna be ready for that thing.

Came in as the same program as Jordan Malata, the International Player Pathway Program, so it won't cost you guys a roster spot unless yeah, I think you even went to IMG, too I'm pretty sure you wanna IMG Well, it's very similar One of the good things about this pathway is that it allows teams to take chances on guys without having to incur a roster spot so the only way Louise will count against the Chiefs is if he makes it 53. I think that's how that works.

Outside of that, they're basically guaranteeing. He gets like two or three years to get him. Yeah, they're basically guaranteeing him a shot at potentially playing in the NFL, which I really hope this is a smashing success. The more international players that you see get the chance means the more international. The game's growing.

Yeah. And you start to see kids from those areas or kids from all over start playing the game a little bit more. Because one of their own from their backyard found a way to be on top of a sport and be a part of a very small percentage of players that make it. It's cool to see. I really just enjoy the guy's energy so far. He's super excited about the opportunity that he's been given, knowing that not everybody gets these opportunities. He was an absolute star in the European rugby league that he was in so for him to make the jump and Try and go from

Wales to Kansas City, man It's a it's a it's a pretty pretty ballsy move a pretty pretty cool move to be making man Lewis has wasted no time. He just got done working out with Pat and some of the guys down in Texas this past weekend Travis you said you he talked to you Did you when did you get the chance to talk to him? And have you heard Pat say whether he's good or not? No, I haven't talked to Pat about him yet. Yeah, Lewis is down there working hard, man. It's going to be a humbling experience.

Yeah, it's going to be a humbling experience at first. It's not easy to just make that jump. They're two completely different games, but he is an athlete and that's what the Chief saw. He's a smart kid. He's a smart player. So he's going to be able to pick up the offense eventually, but it's going to be a tough few months for him here while he's getting acclimated to the NFL.

We've been doing this since we were kids and we've been playing this game, so we're just going to have those little instincts that we've built over the years that he has to start to catch up with. So biggest advice I gave him was just try not to let it overwhelm you as much as it can and just know that everybody believes that you have the potential to be able to to play. So just absorb as much as you can. Learn as much as you can in the short time that you'll have before the season. Listen, I'm excited. I know there's going to be a learning curve.

I hope this guy takes the world by fucking storm. Me too. It will be electric. And I mean, I'm seeing a smile like that. This guy is, if he works out, he's gonna be the most marketable player of all time, look at that face. Yeah, we gotta love a debonair young man. Alrighty, and that wraps up another episode
