So make sure you're ready. That's right. Two new Heights podcast episodes in one week. What more do you want? What more do you want? Let's get on to some fan mentions of the week. All right. You win it. The Andy Reed comments last week we, uh, we finally got the old ball coach to come on and have some fun with us and, uh, man, it was a knee slapper. See what you did. Right now.

It was long awaited. He was probably one of the first people that we thought of about bringing onto the show. It just had no idea how we were going to get him on. For sure. Jason, is there afterwards, is there anything you wish that you would have asked him? Oh, man. Um. I don't know. that you would have asked him. Oh, man.

I don't know. What about, I wish I would have asked him more about cheeseburgers because I feel like he's a man who knows his cheeseburgers. He definitely knows his burgers. I wish I would have asked him. There was a, there was, there was my, for rookie year, I had the knee surgery, but before I had the surgery, I was kind of limping around the building a little bit. And he kind of looks at me and he's like, man, stop limping, man. You know, just like trying to be a encouraging good coach, trying to, you know, give me the

stop, stop being down in the dump. So whatever it was, I was like, I look back at my coach, you, you limp too. Like you, you limp everywhere. He likes me. He says, well, that's because one like shorter than the other. And then walked off and I was so, so he got my career. And I'm like, is that real? Or is he just, did he really? No, he played collegiate sports. Like he, that can't be true.

And then I started thinking about him like, it might be true, but sorry. I still kind of want to get down to the bottom of this. Wish I would have asked him, but we ran out of time. Yeah, I mean, I still kind of want to get down to the bottom of this. WISO and I asked them, but we ran out of time. Yeah, I mean, I would have asked them anything because, to be honest, I got to talk to Big Red all day. I wish we would have had more time, but you only get what you get. And it was a busy man. So, thank you, Coach, for coming on.

It was a blast talking, reminiscing, and yeah, it was, let's get to some of the, the comments. Let's get to some of the comments let's get to some of these comments that are these fan these fan favorites or our favorite fan comments I should say starting off with the shortest wide receiver at shortest wide receiver I'm a raiders fan we have the raiders fan is a 92% but at shortest wide receiver says, I'm a Raiders fan and I'd be lying my ass off. If I said I didn't love Big Red, ah, God, he's a hard guy to hate, man.

He's a hard guy to hate. I don't know anyone that's hate him. Man, that was fair. AFL emming, 1207. I'm sure I'm saying that wrong, but you know who you are. Hopefully they had an ice pack ready for Andy because Travis was smackin' the heck out of his leg.

Yeah, no, I don't know how I got into that. I feel like he slapped my knee one time and like that's where we were. We were slapping knees. Yeah, there was a lot of leg slapping. It was a leg slapper. It was a knee slapper. It was.

That's the way it happened. Right now. Yeah, no, I was extremely nervous the entire episode. So I blacked out and it didn't even realize that I was doing that. It's not usually my go-to, but yeah, I was just trying to, you know, not fuck that up. Moving on to John Oster, 8508. I got to know Travis, did you get Jason to try Lamar's donuts? I keep telling everybody though the best donuts on the planet as they are and Was that glaze good enough for him?

All right now. How'd you like that glaze Jason? Travis did get me to try Lamar's donuts and they were fantastic. I really enjoyed it really good rise on the donut It was I mean, it wasn't like a little. It was like a little. Yeah, very fluffy. Glazed was good. I think we got one in Philly. I think Bay layers I'd rather have.

But the puff on the Lomaris was better. I mean, I would give that donut, I don't wanna give out tens, you know. But I'd give it a solid, I'd give Lamaris glazed. I'd give it a solid nine. I'll take nine. Nine, so. I'd give it a solid I give Lamar's glazed I give it a solid nine. I'll take nine. Nine so I give it a solid Respectable number you can give something I give it a solid nine One five nine one five. I don't see anybody that says something's a full out ten Yeah, I mean there's a that was where the glaze was I probably should go eight like fuck you like Fuck you don't do this. You already said nine because I mean the glaze was good

But it wasn't it didn't have like a lot of flavor to the glaze the doughnut like the doughparts When you what labor do you want a glaze is just sugar? What do you mean that's but there was a little bit? It was it was just was a lazy it wasn't as enough sugar. It was there was enough glaze on it But it was lacking. Not enough butter. I mean, Travis, I'm being very specific. It was a solid donut. That was an eight eight.

It was an solid solid solid solid solid. All the matters is, it's my favorite. So, and I'm mouth is worried about it. Maybe I just think of an eight eight because it looks like it's four donuts have been stacked on top of each other or next to each other. Like two donuts makes one eight, two more donuts makes another eight. All right, moving on to Michael Bayhaw 5557. Could anyone imagine Belichick

cutting it up on one of his players podcasts or this question? How many current head coaches would do this? That's a good question. This is actually the reason why Jason took so long to get our coaches on, but I think Dan Campbell and Detroit Pete Carroll, possibly Doug Peterson in Jacksonville, all the rest can crack walnuts, but they're butchies. You gotta give it all a tense in pressures and patrolling the sidelines. Yeah,, no a lot of coaches really just don't have that charisma man And it is what it is. They're kind of stuck in stuck of the old. I mean, I would absolutely love to name all of the guys He just I think I think coaches are great. I think he got some to get coaches on I'm with you. I'm with you I am especially the guys that they just named I think most of them would would come on their players podcasts if they had one. Well, if it ever happens, well, no, we know our coaches came on ours.

Our coaches came on ours. And he went on toms. Yeah, but times I play anymore. Well, he was he retired yet when he went on top. He retired. He was already retired. I don't know if that's facts. Was who else? Yeah, I don't know. It's about it. We're gonna have to try and get Doug Dan and Pete though. I mean, those are three. Talk about a good crew. Those are three good combos right there. Do people have the wrong impressions of NFL coaches? I don't know what their impressions are. It's a good point. I think I'm, yeah, I think I'm a little biased to a few of them because I've played for them. I feel like I feel like the majority, the vast majority of people think NFL coaches are like this like stone, like this, like kind of like a hard

nose, like like Bill Bellicic. Yeah, but even even more than that. Like a lot of NFL coaches, like at least on like TV or in like shows and on like hard knocks and stuff, they only shows like them like getting on someone's ass about something or like, you know what I mean? Like they're very serious, very manly, very like no fun zone. Don't fuck around, we're taking care of business here boys. Yeah.

I feel like there's a sense of that without a doubt. Like there's the discipline aspect of it, but I think you still have to be pretty relatable and like personable to be able to get the respect and command out of everyone. I think every NFL coach leads kind of in their own way and it has to make sense for the type of person and like personality that they have. Yeah. Obviously, it seems like Bill does it different than Andy does. He does it different than Pete does and Dan Campbell's out there by kneecaps off. But somehow you find a way to you know get the most

out of your players and to put them in the best positions. That's what the name of the game is at the end of the day. You know how well do you motivate your players? How well do you motivate your staff? And how well do you organize all of that? And I think every coach kind of does it in their own style. And I think the ones that actually screw it up are guys that stick to like rigid systems that try to be other people. It's like, not man, you gotta,

you gotta go out there and be yourself otherwise players are gonna see right through that. And at the end of the day, you hold players accountable, you connect with them and create relationships. You do the same thing with your coaches. And you just keep grinding. And that's what the best coaches do. Those are the common denominators. I don't think you don't need to be whatever anybody else thinks you should be.

You're an impression of a coach is on a movie. I don't think. Yeah. I'm with you. And that's a message for life, ladies and gentlemen. Hey, message. Just be yourself, kids. It's fun. All right, no dumb questions. On the last episode, we actually guys to send us all of your no dumb questions. We needed some new ones and you guys delivered. Hey, real quick, no dumb questions is brought to you by our friends at Accelerator. That's right Accelerator gives us the staying energy throughout this podcast and more. It also enhances our focus to give you guys your answers that you need to your NotDum questions.

Your first NotDum question. That's right. We're doing a couple of them this time. Right now. We like doing this. First note, I'm question comes from Shay Lynn double zero double. Oh, legal. All right. Now. If aliens invaded the earth and asked to see our leader, who would we send? Well, I think the obvious answer is is no, you're you're tripping, bro. The obvious answer is Arnold Schwarzenegger. Yeah did it. He did it. No, you're thinking of Sylvester Salon. Damn it. Arnold Schwarzenegger was a German man,

or Austrian, whatever the nationality comes from, but it's a California now. Governor. Yeah, I mean, he already beat aliens. I mean, the printed predators. Yeah, I mean, he already took down one of them. You want to talk about one of the most intimate? I mean, he's a little bit, I mean, he's, yeah, he already took down one of them. You want to talk about one of the most intimate? I mean, he's a little bit, I mean, he's not quite the physical specimen.

He used to be in his prime, but I'm still going with Arnie. Oh, man. If we're going fight enough aliens, you got to go well, Smith. Then depending on stay, oh, men in black. He's been fighting off aliens multiple times. He might be an alien. Sure. Who men in black too?

Men in black too. Yeah, men in black. Men in black. Independence day. Yeah, I already said men in black. I missed it. I was I blacked out. You weren't listening to me. Who else have been some good alien slayers? Well, we send. Oh, what's your face? Was in all the aliens. What's your name? was in all the aliens. What's your name? I'm going to give it. Sigurny Weaver. Dude, you are so good. I would have never guessed that's how it is. I mean, I didn't get it. They wrote it down.

Yeah, but you know, even that right there, even that right there, trying to read Sigurny right there, I would have. Oh, that should be a bit. We have Travis pronounced other people's names. All right. Let's move. Okay. So I think do not set me up again, man. Who else would be a good alien? Who's in Mars attack? Who's in Mars attacks? Man, I know James Brown, or Jim Brown was in a piece of it.

Oh, Jim Brown. Jim Brown's always a punchin through the last of them. We're going a lot of physical specimens. Should we not just put like a really like maybe no degrees, Tyson or something like that? We throw somebody out there that might know a little bit more about it. Yeah, a little knowledge there. Hit him with some brain power. Cast that of the physical power. God, man.

What a guy. Neil is. I'm sticking to my original answer. I'm sending Arnold. I'm sending the rock just because physical specimen confidence. He'll know what to do. The rock's okay. He's a gamer too.

He's not on the rock. He can relate to every rock. The rock never made a movie like kindergarten cop, a blockbuster, right? What? He's made fucking damn, that'd be a good fucking who is movie career. The rocker's Schwarzenegger. Travis don't do this. Dude, that would be a good fucking who is movie career the rocker Schwarzenegger. Travis don't do this.

Dude, that would be. It's not good. It's not even close. I love the rock. Don't you fucking dare put him in auto Schwarzenegger's category. Don't you fucking do when the rock is the president of the United States. And like, what's the rock's best fucking movie? What's the rock's best movie?

Oh, Tarzan? What is it? Walking tall was a good one You are what else? What else is a good one? The other guys wasn't in for long, but this is my point. It's not the rock. Tumanji. I mean he was in one of the faster Furious one of those fucking 800 movies wasn't he? I'm not going to rock. He was in Jumanji. He is. He's in Jumanji. He does a great job. That's when the rock is good. It's just not anywhere close. Toronto Schwarzenegger. Oh no man. I think his his Debbie Divi career kind of exceeds

anything that Schwarzenegger did. What do you are fucking out of your mind? And I think he's stronger than Schwarzenegger. He might be stronger than Schwarzenegger. You know Arnold, he won how many Mr. Olympias or whatever the fuck that thing is for having the biggest tits of a man. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha The best one, the best one do not fucking miss this. The best one. Where did it set it, it's commando, commando. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You're missing his best. You're thinking twins, what they need to be to open. That was a bad range. The range of Arnold is insane. What kindergarten cop are you going? Oh, fucking total recall. Fucking buns. You're out of your fucking kindergarten cop. come watch him kindergarten cop was terminator obviously that's what I was here to forget

You're missing the best ones you're missing another bad Tomatoes are the ones that everybody else loved but the best movie was commando if you disagree go back and watch it You'll laugh your ass off and enjoy the non-stop action. It was taken before taking was a thing It was the barbers the what thing. It was much better. What was the barbarian one? That is fucking white. You're my blanking on Conan. Conan.

Hey, this is not even a competition. You're right. The rock would fucking destroy him. In what? A wrestling match? Weightlifting wrestling match. Not acting. I can hear into you that.

What? He couldn't even speak English Travis he you couldn't even understand what he was saying and he was a blockbuster and that's why blockbuster and that's why people like watching him because he had the voice man no they liked watching him because he had huge tits and he's a great actor. I'm sick of talking about sports and a ghost hits let's move on every time you say tits I fucking see those nipples staring at it. All right, here we go. 30 seconds left in the Super Bowl. Who are you taking? Bobby Boucher from the Water Boy or Forest Cup? I mean, there's only one answer here. It's Bobby Boucher.

You're going to take a defensive player with the purple ball with this exact scenario. What do you mean? Well, they played him on offense. So you're going to play Bobby Boucher on offense instead of just playing for us. Go. You're going to take the full ball player. No ball player, baby. Give me the ball player. A lot more tape on Bobby. We really only have ever seen for us gum. One clip, which was an amazing. I'm taking the guy that knows he's in the end zone. You mentioned the good side about the Abu Shai, but you failed to mention the other side where he had the interception and he proceeded to run it all the way down and then hand it to the other guy. He learned from it.

I don't know. I don't know. I think I'm going, I'm going for a scum. Yeah. No. I mean, to my favorite actors. So I mean, he for a scum was running sideways at one point and nobody could catch him. I don't know how that's happened. I don't even know how that's physically possible.

Dude, they might have they might have do you think they they got Tom Hanks to play that role just based off of his run because that run is fucking electric. Forest gun runs like every strength coach has tried to get me to run, which is like a fucking robot. And this is me off. A running class or something. If there's one thing I get upset with, is people-

Go here and this is how you do it. Run. Nia. Well, yeah, it's because that's how you're supposed to run, Jason. If you want to get faster, go fucking run. It's that simple. Go fucking run. You'll figure out the optimal way to strike your foot if you're fucking worth a shit as an athlete. You don't need to fucking Just be honest. It's fucking so stupid. You want to do the last question. Would you rather have muffins for hands or sweat mail? I'd rather still have muffins for hands. I cannot you make me sweat mail I'm gonna be throwing up my entire life. I mean it's

It's it's an easy one sweat mail. I need a pose like you gotta grab things what the fuck you gonna do with muffins for hands Except eat them fuck you right. I just can't buy into mail sweat mail Just stay in the AC baby. Oh my god, then you don't sweat. I sweat in the AC, baby. Oh my God. Then you don't sweat. I sweat in the AC too. That's gonna point.

You can get fireball wherever you purchase your fine spirits. Let's move on to some bold topics to wrap up this week in the NFL's offseason and recap big news from last week the official 2023 NFL schedule Was released for all 32 teams. It's quite the the big deal now It's usually it used to just come out and everybody has looked at it and I'm like all right cool This is what the schedule is now they like teased all the prime time games I know we were part of the overseas

playing in Germany revealing that game against the dolphins. And now Tyree Kyl will not be scoring any touchdowns and arrowhead anytime soon. Yeah, so the 2023 NFL schedule was released. What do you think of your schedule release being such a big deal now? Do you think it's over the top?

Things a little too much. Do you like it? No. You like, I think it's not for I think it was fun. Yeah. I mean, it's I think the schedule release as a whole is awesome for the fans because they could see what games are going to when they're going to, especially like the way ones for us, we get to see when our by week is, which is a big deal. Yep. That's Thursday night games. Is that the first thing you do? You look at all your. I look for a by week and Thursday night game right away to see when I'm going to get the big breaks.

I like that from like work loads outside of that. And I'm going to play all the teams when we play them. So do you circle any games? Do you circle any games? Not a circle. I don't even print it out. That's a good point. I always look at I mentioned this earlier on an episode. I always look at turf games. We got four of them this year. Not a bad year. That's a small amount of turf. Yeah,

it's pretty good. I can we can deal with that. We can deal with that. And then I look at like you say, we got two Thursday night games actually because they gave us the season opener. And then six weeks later, we play Denver on Thursday night. So yeah, the O'Brakos. And then four weeks after that, we have our buy after Germany. Hey, might have to just stay in Germany during October fest. No, saying I do. No, saying the Eagles coaxed my wife into getting a Kansas City chiefs sock and putting peanut butter in it and getting blue to chew it up. Well, that's not nice.

I know blue wouldn't do that if there was no peanut butter on there. It's true. It wouldn't. It's messed up, Kai. It's messed up right there. It ain't right. It's dog mentality.

It's dog here. Could you guys are forever the underdog? This is dog mentality. It's dog here. Could you guys are forever the underdog? No, dog mentality. Dog mentality's next thing. It's actually, is a dog, do you know why he says dog mentality? No, why? Because when he was a kid, his, I think it was his uncle, because uncle had a bunch of hunting dogs, and he would take him to go hunt rabbits,

and they would release the cage and every time he released the cage, no matter how them dogs days was going, they were hunting them rabbits, they were ready to go. That's why it's dog mentality. So just be ready essentially. I'd dog a hunt. Yeah, man, a bunch of adorable poochies. Oh my gosh, Kylie could have done any team. No, they asked her, so we do all in the video, it's all the whole schedule. Yeah, it's all the whole schedule. The whole schedule. Yeah, it's all the teams that we play. So they specifically had her do the Kansas City Chiefs. This is wow. Okay. This wasn't specific to the Chiefs. There's one thing,

it's just, you know, just happen on, on four. Okay, it's on. The war has started and the Chiefs also released a video on their, on their platform and ahead of new heights mention The old new news Very fitting as you wear the shirt you see we like to keep it. Hey, I think cordial. We don't like to hand Little stuffed animals or socks of dogs and once a dog's tear it went up. It's whatever, you know Just whatever do what youram, whatever, you know, just whatever. Dude, you gotta do, you know. Titans may have put out the best video of all,

and that's asking people down on Broadway. What teams, the Tennessee Titans were gonna be playing, and multiple people, multiple people, butched the entire league. Just looking at logos and not knowing what logo was wet team or what city. Numbers people thought the, the name apples culture, were the Dallas Cowboys. Multiple people saw the horseshoe of the cults logo and said, no, that's, that's the cowboys. Chase. I'm still upset that you think that those guys that teach wall drills are fucking doing a goddamn thing.

I don't know how the fuck you can do those drills and feel at all like it's making you better because I'm a runner, Jason. I run to not like this offensive that you would say. You're not like this. Let's help me out. Man, my career's helped make you faster and a better runner work on knee drive knee drive and in posterior. Working my glutes and hamstrings to the ground. I don't even want to do this. This is fucking so stupid. What is wrong? Because they don't they He's lying. He's blatantly lying. Just the fucking get me mad. Dude, it's

working that knee drive. Actually, the knee drive can help. That's what it is doing. Thank you for that, Jason, man, that's just made my entire week, man. I guess the Titans video is almost as funny as Travis Kelsey named me head coach. God damn it. That's what I look like. At least I need some of them. All right.

Let's talk at a chief schedule of most prime time games with six. All right. My homes versus Rogers for the first time ever in week four. That's crazy. My homes and Rogers have not ever played. Yeah, we played Grebe a few times withdy mohons as our QB and unfortunately he was out of. I don't know why not Rogers was either banged up. I think he missed the last time we played it was COVID protocol or something happened with his. We don't have to revisit. We don't have to

go back down the road. I think I know I think we know what you're talking about so that happened But yeah, obviously I played against Aaron never beat him when he was back there So it's I think it'd be a fun fun game. You guys got week nine Germany. You guys are playing the dolphins That's gonna be fun Frank for you. You excited. Yeah, do you like international games? I love them, man I love them. That's what I like a lot of people say they don't like playing international games I think they're a lot of fun. Anything that changes, you know, I mean, the scene. I like playing in a way, stadium, just because I like getting out of Kansas City, because during the season, you just don't get free time to be able to go see another city or another, like, arena outside of game day. So I like the away games and this one's going to be a

blast. This one's going to be a blast. We're going to. One thing that I would say is not good about this is that it's a home game that's in Germany. So you guys are missing out on an arrowhead game. But we already have like this year we're already nine we had nine home games this year because of the 17th game got added last year. So you have eight. We still have eight home games. Yeah, but you would have had nine. It's a good point. Well, we better just, you know, I mean, when so that we get, you know, home field advantage. And we have three. Who do you think is going to have home field advantage?

We played in London. Let me tell you, might have been Jacksonville's home game, but Eagle fans, they showed up. Is that right? That is right. I don't know. I don't know what Germany has to has to offer you know last year What what teams the Germans go for? What are Germans Germans like beer Sausages sausage is boo. They might like the barbecue So if they like beer Milwaukee is known for beer. So maybe they're Packers fans

Sausages what city's known for sausages not Miami right? No, man. You guys are known for barbecue which is kind of like a sausage. Yeah, I don't know Chicago do Chicago dogs. Do you guys have a big German population in Kansas City? I do not believe. Are there any beer gardens or anything? No, not that I know. You guys have any German players? No. No German players. We got a Greek player. You got a Greek freak? Yeah.

Oh, position. George Carl Offsis. Oh, the try, the DN for Purdue. Purdue, Purdue. He's, is he from Greece or he's just Greek. Yeah, no, from Greece family, family from Greece for sure. So he's first, first generation immigrant. What's what's a belief? I believe he might even been born over there and then came to the States in, at some point. Huh.

What what? Where in Greece? Athens. All right. I will say this. I will say this. The, uh, we got a guy, uh, Blaine Gabbard, uh, quarterback, who's the back of quarterback Where in Greece Athens? All right. I will say this. I will say this the We got a guy Blaine Gabbard

Quarterback the he was the back of quarterback and Tampa last year. Blaine Gabbard is your is your back quarter back up quarterback Yeah, right now. He's he's in the building number two. Whoa You guys team last I'm not sure I'm not sure if it's listed as number two, number three. I know that he just got in. Yeah. So you guys just signed him when Chad retired? Yeah. And he played in Germany last year and said he was off. He said he was awesome. You said the fans were amazing.

Yeah. They were rowing. The Zee Germans are big American football fans. Yeah. Are you looking for, are you gonna do anything in Germany? I think I might host a chug off. A chug off? Yeah, I think that'd be sweet to really get the fan engagement going out there in Germany.

Like with the sign, like a big sign, you get it down the whole thing? Down the whole thing, yeah. It might do it. Are you gonna participate in the chug off? I don't think I should drink before the game, but we'll see. I mean, when do you guys go down? If you go down early in the week. I don't think we're going down early. I think we'll just probably get Friday night.

We'll probably leave. We'll probably leave Thursday night, get in Friday morning, have a good Friday practice, and then, yeah. And then maybe get just like an afternoon off. Well, you guys were playing the dolphins. And Tyree Keele was talking a lot on Twitter about coming back to Arrowhead. Obviously, that's not happening. Chris Jones versus Tyreecon Twitter, though.

Had a nice little back and forth. Back and forth, apparently. Yeah. No, uh, Chris, let him know he ain't going to score an arrowhead anytime soon. Yeah, I don't know what to say to it. Yeah, we just, I have no, nothing to say there. Christmas Day, you guys are playing the Raiders. Is that a home gamer in a way game? Christmas day, baby.

Let's go. I, um, no idea. Don't know. No idea. I lost Vegas. It's in Las Vegas. It'll be pretty sweet. Christmas in Las Vegas.

What do you think you get your buddy, McDaniel, for Josh McDaniel, for his, uh, don't do this. Don't do this. All right. If Josh McDaniel is walks in right now, I can shake his hand and I say, Hey, Coach McDaniel, how you doing? Because I know him and I know what he looks like. That picture was ridiculous. I can barely see it.

It's a high-distance game. It's a city again. Let's go. Christmas day. Christmas game. Pretty sure I'm two and a high. Christmas. It's a city again. Let's go. Christmas day. Christmas game. Pretty sure I'm two and oh on Christmas. In two and a Christmas.

And I'm two and oh on Christmas. Your Santa Claus for the cheese fans. I think that's coach read. I'm just like a really important. Now, if I'm like, you're an

alpha, like buddy, are you an alpha or a reindeer? Would you rather be an alpha reindeer? How about that? How about that? No dumb question. Would you rather be an Elf or a reindeer?

There's more elves. Yeah. And they're a lot less well known. Yeah. No, it seems like those things kind of like, you know, are not that rare. Yeah, I mean, San is just got a little bit of a leader. At least the reindeer's got like sweet names. Yeah, and they're really, it seems like they're the, not that rare. Yeah, I mean, San is just got a little bit of... At least the rangers got like sweet names. Yeah, and they're really sweet.

It seems like the magical ones are rare. There's only a few of them. If you're lucky enough to be rude off, you're a unicorn basically. But lack a little confidence, but you are awesome. Those elves grow on trees apparently. That's it. San is got a litter of elves. He's gotf. He's got a word like minions, man.

That he pays in sugar or something. Yeah. No. That'll be a fun one. That'll be a fun one. Anytime the Raiders come to Arrowhead, man, it is a it's a doozy and the games are rocking. So can't wait for Chris' day already. Yeah. It it's gonna have to circle that one. And then you guys are new years eve against the bangles in man, we always get the late in the season. We always get them late in the season. We get them within the last like month of the season. And he may or put out another video. Let's take a look. I got Orlando Brown got in on this one. It's actually pretty good bit. The bangles play the Chiefs week 17. And I've got nothing else to add.

And cut. How was that? Yeah, I think that was better in the last time. Hey, there we go. I like it. The Cincinnati mayor, mayor half tab. He's showing off his, he's showing it off. We got to get him on the pie showing it off. Now he's he's a good sport about him and he's a good sport. They shout out to OB for

If you've been looking for something with zero sugar that gives you sustained energy, that gets the metabolism going and gives you the enhanced focus you need to record a podcast. Ha ha, you got to check a podcast. Ha ha ha. You got to check out accelerator active energy. Jason Wolflabor you got over there. Oh, I got the orange mango. I'm sipping on that rocket pop.

The rocket pops always one of my favorites. If you guys like it's rock your pop. Just cotton candy. I think it's it's got a little bit more something in there. But yeah, it tastes it tastes like a very aggressive cotton candy, which I love good cotton candy. Hey, man, it doesn't like sausage. He enjoys a good cotton candy. Give me the sugar.

Silver Interactive Energy is available nationwide at Target. All right. Hey, let's move on to Eagle Schedule. Eagles Schedule open in New England on Tom Brady Day. How about that? How about that? They're going to retire the, they're going to retire the goat in front of all of us. The legend himself. I'm going to take him out the passion. TB 12 kilo, man. Hey, that was a call for. No, man, I mean, honestly, I'm kind of excited about it. Yeah, that's going to be an experience.

That's pretty cool. Dude, the potentially the greatest quarterback of all time. I mean, I don't even know if it's worth saying potentially at this point. I mean, he's that my home's as career is an over, but certainly of everybody's played. He's got the hardware to be able to be at the game that he's going to hang them up or be honored for the career that he had in New England. Shoot, that's going to be electric. I was about to say that place.

Travis Kelsey's words. It's about to be electric. Electric. That place is. But it also means the fans are going to be pumped up. So we're going to have to work on a silent count. Yeah. But yeah, no, I'm excited to be there for it.

Last time we played New England was 2019. So it's been a minute since we think that we lost that game. I was not at that game. Yeah. Was not a good one for us at home. Do you think a way teams play harder if they know it's a special occasion for the home team? Man, I think, um, no. Well, I think it's the bigger threat is that it's a distraction for the home team. I feel like, but with Tom kind of being a former player, you know, I don't think it's going to distract the team too much. And obviously with Bill Bella, check us our coach, hey, I'm going to put up with any distractions. I feel like even though the teams have drastically changed from the 2017 team that was in the shrewd bowl against us, I still think like New England and the patriots versus the

Eagles like, you know, Bill's still there. There's still some guys still there. And I certainly feel like for us, I feel like whenever you play like a team that you play in the shrewd bowl, there's always like a little bit heightened emotion and energy. I'm happy. Heck yeah. The hype is definitely going to be there, especially with TB12 getting retired that game is I can see that game being a very

very Electric night In New England for sure four days later though, you have to come to the home opener. There's a knife football baby Who do you guys plan that there's a night? Play Minnesota Minnesota Which they night. Biggest thing about that, they got a new defensive coordinator. Prime Flores is the new guy.

So we're gonna be, I hate playing new D-Cortinators or new coaches early in the season. That's always. Because there's not, you're going off a like tape from, like we're gonna be watching tape from, I don't know when he was at Miami. Like I like preseason games. You're gonna, yeah, you're gonna get a good glimpse

of week one and the couple of the preseason games. You're gonna, yeah, you're gonna get a good glimpse of week one and the couple of the preseason games. You're gonna get a decent understanding, but he's still gonna have some stuff in his hip pocket. Because most of, I feel like most of the coaches, they got, I don't wanna say the first four weeks kind of already game plan, but that's pretty close. You're definitely gonna have your division game plan and you're definitely gonna have like

the first couple of games on the schedule of the game plan. Especially if it's a Thursday night game, you got a short turnaround. It definitely going to get ahead of the, uh, the, uh, the, all the things they've been excited to release all off season. They're going to release them early in the season and especially when it's a new coach, it's going to be drastically a lot of new stuff going on. I guess the one caveat is that I think he, I'm pretty sure Flores is a, I guess the one caveat is that I think he, I'm pretty sure Flores is a bellicic disciple. So it's a similar kind of defense

and they like to run a lot of games and three man games, five man games, not five man games, but five man fronts. So yeah, it'll be interesting to see what that looks like, but I love Thursday games. We've talked about this. Thursday night games. I'm so glad we got to them.

Both of us are big fans of Thursdays because it's limited reps on your body on the front end because you got to get prepared and recovered from the last game. And then you get maximum recovery with the three days after it outside of a biweek. So it ends up being the closest thing to a biweek. You're going to see in your schedule. So that's the other things. Having that that early, I think it's a little bit earlier than you'd want. You'd rather prefer that they were spaced out a little bit later in the season. But you're kind of making me regret having the first Thursday night game or the first game of the year because you actually start three days ahead of everybody else in terms

of training camp. You don't necessarily get that short week. You still gonna have a week of schedule. But you and the team, who do you guys open up with again? I can't remember. We open up with the... Damn it, I'm an idiot. Sorry. But the only reason you guys get two Thursday games

because you play the opening game. Everybody else gets one Thursday game, right? Yeah. Is that how that works? No, you can they just made the rule this year. You can have more than one Thursday night game. Yeah, they did that for Amazon because they had so many buns matchups. Man, those are those Thursday games were fun. There are some over there. Not good. Moving on to a Christmas day game. You got a Christmas day game too. We're both playing on Christmas. Versus the Grinch and who's going to be Santa both divisional games too. Man that'll be if those

would be fun ones to watch especially with Dave all in the Giants showing you know dude we got you guys have another one of the toughest conferences or toughest divisions in the league. That's the way it's looking. I mean obviously you, you never know until you start playing games, but everything seems like the teams have only gotten better. Well, there's a lot of familiar faces, so there's not drastic change. So I think the giants are gonna be improved and better. We also, our division is playing a tougher schedule.

Our schedule, I think, is the toughest if you go off of wins and losses in the NFL from a year before. And a lot of that's because we play the AFC East right which we've talked about I mean the Packers Patriots bills and dolphins no jets not Packers dammit I was thinking freaking Rodgers and I said Packers what a a fucking idiot. Yeah, Jets dolphins, bills and majors. So, you know, all those teams are good. Then the NFC conference we're playing two is really good. And I'm trying to remember which one it is. Oh, it's NFC West. So we got San Franciano, L.A. and, I mean, San Fran on the schedule. It's gonna be a freaking game. So yeah, do this is the second year we're playing the Giants

where we don't play them Like at all until late both of the games we have against the Giants. I Think they're like dude. It's crazy. You probably have Christmas and you have the last game of the year. Yes That's crazy. So it's like we don't't play them until the first game is at Christmas on at week 17 or week 16. And then we play them again, week 18. That's one given. The return runs literally going to be feeling like you play them back to back weeks.

Right. Have you ever played it? Like, have you ever like, uh, we did with this year with the Giants, actually, we played them the last year and then the first round of the playoffs for us. They was, they had, they played Minnesota in between, but, uh, and we were resting the last game of the year. So it wasn't. Oh, we weren't resting.

We were playing there. They were resting. We had to win that game. That's what it was. It keeps us. So we didn't play their starters. Yeah. Well, let's move on then.

Uh, Dolphins at Eagles week seven. Two of verse hurts the former college teammates. It'll be a fun one that both of them have circled. First time. Overweight against a guy. You're asking the wrong guy at Eagles. There we go, baby. Hey, there we go. Love seeing that. Do you know what else is a hot take on this? What's that? Their new defensive coordinator was a defensive analyst in our building last year. Vic Fangio is a defensive coordinator and he was in on a lot of our offensive meetings and meetings throughout the year. So he's about to have you guys scheme the fuck up.

He's going to try to, but what Vic doesn't know is we're coming at you too. It's home. But yeah, you guys have the hardest SOS strength of schedule based on teams 1% is from last year. And that's what we had going into the season. The AMC West wasn't too hot last year in terms of the West in the last two months. The AMC West is gonna bounce back this year. 1000%.

What do you think? 1000%. Yeah. Who's gonna finish second in the division? If you guys finish, you're not doing this to me. No, not doing it. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not educated. I don't know. Well, it's, I mean, it's between either the chargers. I'm going to say the chargers. Russell Wilson. I'm going to say the chargers. The chargers got a really good wide receiver for her bird. Is that just because you know who their coach is?

Fucking guy. Fuck. I can't say anything about it either because that's fucking on everywhere. I mean, I didn't know. Josh Mandano does not look like Josh Mandano's. And we talked about that. We talked about it.

I'm sorry again, Josh. The biggest news from the schedule release is that, yeah, Donna Kels' Facebook is maybe not the source for breaking NFL news that was when she posted that comment. Well, listen, I don't know anything. Mom got excited. She saw something. She saw some dirt online and she decided to post it to her Facebook. And you know, she gets excited. She's into the football. Yeah, she's a football mom

Maybe I've said at it and it did come from a kind of trusted source that also deleted Thorth It came from a kind of a trusted source from the Kansas City star from what she says and the star Deleted it but from the Kansas City star, from what she says and the star deleted it, but who knows mom everybody makes mistakes. I've had to delete some stuff on Twitter before and don't really post on Facebook anymore. Well, I guess I do. Yeah, listen, if I think just as a bar, a good bar, don't get any news from Facebook. I think that's kind of, it should be a point. It's not a, it's not a search engine. Yeah, especially if it's from a boomer like mom, you know, it's not you know where you want to be looking

Shout out to Mama Kels Hall of Fame. Mama Kels coming off the mother's day Mama Hall of Fame Mama Kelsy Voltu will be happening officially week 11th Monday night football, baby. Yeah Both teams coming off a buy. Yeah, Are we going to hang out for the buy? We pretty well rested. Um, I even though we're going to play each other the following week, are we going to hang out during the buy week? I'm down. I'm game. I usually find my way to Philly on the buy week just to come see you and the girls. Or or I go watch you guys play, but obviously neither

of us are playing. So yeah, I might still be in Germany. I don't know Oh, that's right. They always time off international games. Yes, dude. If you stay in Germany Should we do new heights in Germany? New international Podcasts, dude, that'd be crazy. You think we got any German followers? I Can't do there any German 92% per cent us we can get them up all we got to do is start drinking beer and eating sausages. We've been over this Well, we get German far away the sausage up to you and I'll drink as much

Here is you don't eat sausage. I'll do like a like a sausage pan I do like a patty like in the morning like breakfast sauce you don't do any tubular shaped meat sausage on like a pizza you know I'm saying Pepperoni sauce is pizza Bolognaise you won't eat like a hot dog Sam like a hot dog fucking out Jason I'm out what? What is it? How does it get to that? How does it get to the form? How does it get to that form? I've actually seen it. It's pretty gross. It's disgusting.

I don't even want to see it. I don't want to see it. Well, it's because I do enjoy a good ballpark dog. We just catch a part. Well, then what are we talking about? Because I can't do spices. I don't know. I've been eating a ballpark hot dogs as a kid, but I can't. So you're in on hot dogs. I'm not even in on hot dogs with how big you're in on the all beef. I got to be hammered.

What? Do you not fucking hate the year in tagging? I mean, right now I'm not in tagging. I'm not your in tagging. There's my mind wrong wrong iron word. And I was saying is it? Is it? Is it? Um, is it the

so you'll eat it in patty form, but not the tubular form is there a reason why you won't eat it in the tubular form? How does it get in the tube? It's called a casing. That's disgusting. So it's just the casing part. It's not the shape

of it. Yeah, man. I know what your kids do. Well, I just say you don't like white condiments. And now you all of a sudden don't like tubular shaped meats. Everybody. Yeah, everybody, you know, where, where that is it? Where are you? What? On popsicles. Love popsicles. So it's not the shape, what, even tubular shaped popsicles. I don't. So it's not even two-bular shaped popsicles. Like the push and pops, those were delicious. Yeah. I flex with the push and pops.

It's ice cream. How can you, how can you, how can you, it's not ice cream. It's popsicle. Yeah, popsicle. Frozen sugar water. I just blows my mind that you don't like sauce. Even if you cut it up, like would you cut it up and eat it?

It's just the casing. You just don't like the casing. Yeah, this the casing, the bite into the casing and that's juicy and like, fuck, ah. You're making my mouth water right now. What about a chorizo? No, I'm out on that shit. What the fuck is wrong with you?

Can't do chorizo, dude. Man, well, it's good for your heart. One thing is you're avoiding probably the worst meat you can eat cardiovascularly speaking, but from a taste perspective, you're avoiding the best meats, maybe. I love sausages, so sometimes I don't even chew them. I just swallow them right down my gullet. We can come back to tubular meats another time or Or on the internet if we want to but we're gonna move on to we got out of the house That's right We went to the 76ers last home game

The way we wanted it to But it was a fun experience and honestly yeah, we said actually some some cool cats right Quest love quest love obviously and then saw my guy Michael Rubin name dropping Yeah, you already know dogs down of a Mitchell was sitting a couple seats down shot out to the calves Yeah, no, I'm not sure if I'm bad luck or if you're bad luck in this scenario because I went to two games and they lost both I've been one of them I rang the bell for and then they got their bell wrong So I think it's just a bad I just stay away from bells and ringing it I've only been to one playoff game where in the NBA where the team that I was rooting for won the game Wow, but it was it was a hell of a game. LeBron James. Yeah. LeBron James

against the Toronto Raptors in a little fade away runner off the glass to win it is electric. Absolutely electric. And then the city was on one after that. But yeah, I don't know. I think I think you might just have to get banned from NBA playoff games and Philly, dude. It's not a better deal. Either that or just to go to go to all of them and then really. I mean, it's just it. I gotta break the streak. You gotta break the streak. Yeah, I think if I just keep going eventually, they'll win.

And then it's like, hey, I'm not the mush. You know, I'm not the guy who's the reason, you know. I mean, they did just lose in Boston for game seven. So I and I wasn't in that game. Yeah, but what a blame somebody else. I might have had something to do with the the fourth quarter. Oh yeah. So I guess we should tell them that you know we we're sitting there and all of a sudden Travis decided to order chicken figures which I was excited

about. We're in Philly. We got to we're in any Philly arena. We got to get some chicken pizza. Well yeah, I mean obviously we're gonna get hot dogs., we got to wear any Philly arena. We got to get some chicken peets. Well, yeah, I mean, obviously we weren't going to get hot dogs. So we got chicken figures. Yeah. Big chicken. Big chicken, 10 to 10 to 10. Did they gave us honey mustard? Did you dip it in honey mustard? No, you don't remember me taking your barbecue sauce. They gave us one honey mustard. Oh, and I stole your part. That's why I didn't have any barbecue sauce. He's caught him watching the game. There was The there was a there was a fault.

There was not foul ball. There was a there was a ball that went out of bounds. Out of bounds. And it made its way over to the corner that we were sitting in. And of course me being the savvy and very alert player that I am. I was the first one to get to it. Grabbed it. That's right.

Act like I was going to take a shot. Kind of gave it a little spin. And yeah, when I handed that thing back to the ref, I realized how much chicken grease was actually on my hand. And how much chicken grease was now on the basketball. And unfortunately, the sixers didn't look too great after that. And so I might have greased up. You might have caused.

I might have greased up that thing. And because guys were missing a lot of Joel. We're not there. Well, if he felt the chicken grease on it. Guys are missing threes. It didn't go to the

whole teams. There was a lot of poor basketball after the chicken grease incident. A lot of turnovers. I think it was clearly making a difference. So, uh, and you know what, you guys can blame me all you want. But you know, and you know what, you guys can blame me all you want, but you know when more to blame, then Pete himself, because that, that chicken was greasy. And I love it. I love it. Greasy. But did you, it's kind of crazy that they, without them wings me, are

them, uh, attendees being greasy. It's kind of crazy. They just hand the ball back in. Like, how many times does that happen? Where somebody's been eating buttered popcorn and then all of a sudden they got it all over the ball and it just goes into play. Like they don't check it or nothing. It's not talked about enough. It's not talked about enough.

How often has that made a difference? Yeah. That's a good question. That ball was greased up. Either way, we got to see firsthand the level of the most talented individuals on the planet, which are NBA players. Got to see it live right on the court. And I got to say, I mean, what? Those are the best athletes in the world. Those are the best athletes in the world. Who really,

who really like blue your mind? Uh, Maxi. Maxi. Quick is the light. Yeah, you know what? Actually, like really, the PJ Tucker, I don't think I watched him sit there in warmups and shoot threes. Out that you missed like you just made every single one. It's insane. How good these guys are. As shooting the ball outside of getting contested shots or anything like that. Like open just like three-pointer.

They I mean, it's it's nuts. Yeah, especially if they start to get in rhythm. Yeah. And the same spot. Draining them. Yeah. it's like me in the driveway For me in the pool. I'm a great pool basketball player. Yeah, cuz you can splash outstanding You use the squeeze the water to your as your weapon. I'm semi aquatic. I got a lot of I got basically a layer of blubber on me So I kind of act like a warrior. He got a lot of I got basically a layer of blubber on me

So I kind of act like a warrior. He got a flotation of it. It like it works to my advantage You got that inner tube around the waist. It's just buoyancy just plain buoyancy Boyd dance. Hey man. I've always been I mean if the pool basketball was an Olympic event I might be in it. Just let you know. All right. Playoff atmosphere though NBA vs NFL what games are more electric? I mean, yeah, there's less games. So people get more fired up for the one game that they get to see. I feel like there's one caveat like at the end of NBA games get to see. I feel like there's one caveat. Like at the end of NBA games, if it's close, I feel like it's unbelievably electric.

The same way the NFL game is. I just, I don't know. I feel like it's more intimate in the NBA. Like you're closer to the players. So you can like say something that like, I'm a vogueer. It's definitely going to hear that. He ain't like. Yeah.

Yeah. He's going to hear better. Be better't like. Yeah. Yeah. You shout some. He's going to hear better. Be better. Be careful. What you shouting. But no, I think I just think NFL games. There's the whole tailgating portion. There's like a whole it's it's just in general. The games are more electric, including the playoff games. Yeah. One 100% and I mean arguably the best athletes in the world. I guess the only time I've experienced NFL playoff games is that arrowhead. It's the only game I've been to. Well, obviously outside of our own.

Yeah. But I'm on the field. I'm not in the stands. No, but you feel it. You feel it. You feel electric. It is. Hey, arrowheads electric now.

Not right now. The link is popping. No, man. I will say this though, I thoroughly enjoy being in a Philadelphia stadium during playoffs or during some sort of meaningful game. So whether it's a divisional game or if it's just like two of the top teams in the conference or two of the top teams in the league, Philly fans man, they never disappoint. They are always at the edge of their seat Telling the refs fuck you telling the other teams fuck you and it's just I on it when when

It was a point in the fourth quarter where the refs made like a very weird Recall of like free throws. I forget the exact scenario because I was drinking beer the entire time But yeah... Yeah, Joel shot two, made them, but then they made Maxi go and shoot them. There's something weird like that. Yeah, I like Game Six. And I think Maxi still made them. And when I said, I tell you the entire stadium turned on the refs

right then and there, because it really did deflate like the momentum that was going on, but that place got rowdy. And I loved every bit of being in that stadium. Or that arena. I mean, listen, I'm biased.

I think Phil Delphi is the greatest sports city in the United States. It's unbelievable. I mean, I think she's got the best football fans for sure. What about their basketball fans? Yeah, it's where you got us. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. So a couple of weeks ago,

Travis, as you know, all right now, we were debating what is the greatest trophy in all the sports. And the two that we mentioned were the Lombardi trophy and the Stanley Cup trophy. This is true. Lord Stanley, well, it turns out that somebody was a little upset that they weren't included on that list. And that somebody is Larry.

That's right. The Larry O'Brien trophy submitted his own resume as to why he, I don't know if I'm, we'll call it a he, is the number one trophy in all of sports. And it's right here in front of me. Stop it. I'm not making this up. This was a full submission by Larry himself. The NBA. Pictures. Oh my gosh. Yeah. It says here, you have the Larry O'Brien Toffee at your house right now.

Well, hold on. Oh, no, that has not been reviewed yet. Travis, wait, hold your horses. It says right here, as the Larry O'Brien championship trophy, I and the NBA's ultimate prize representing the highest level of athletic achievement and teamwork. We know that I agree with that. I stand tall at over two feet and weigh in at a hefty 30 pounds making me the most

formidable. 30 pounds. That's a mini gold and doodle right there. That is a, I mean, 30 pounds is pretty. That's a 30 pounds. That's a sick boy. That's a sick boy. That's a sick boy. That's a outman. the sick boy had to sick boy

Making me one of the most formidable trophies in sports known around the world for my unique design and my shiny Gold good looks. It is unique. We'll get back to you how unique it is We go ahead. It also lists a level of achievement and experiences that Larry has endured from a level of achievements and experiences that Larry has endured from 1977 to this present moment. He was obviously awarded to Michael Jordan a whopping six times, solidifying his status as the ultimate symbol of basketball excellence. A company to Los Angeles Lakers during their dominant three P that we are all familiar with from 2000 to 2003 was Koli with Shaq and Kobe, a company in LeBron James as he brought the long awaited championship glory home to our hometown, the Cleveland Cavaliers ending a 52 year championship drought.

I was at the parade. I was at the parade. And it also celebrated the San Antonio Spurs era of sustained success led by the one and only Greg Papavitch as they won five championship 13 1999 and 2014. So Larry has seen a lot and Larry felt a little bit upset that he was left out of the greatest trophies bit that we did. So not only did he submit this wonderful resume, he submitted himself. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the NBA championship trophy, the Larry O'Brien trophy.

I don't know, am I allowed to just touch this with my bare hands? You better? You better? This is crazy. Nice got the Tiffany blue. Yep. Oh, yep. So, Jacket, what is that?

The Jacket, the Luria Bryant jacket? Dude, this is heavier than a mini golden mini golden. 30 pounds. Oh my gosh. That thing is he know or biggest. It's big. The ball is bigger than my head. Is this a, is this an actual representation of a basketball?

I don't even know if I can get this whole thing in the show. I got this guy. That's the show. Oh, it is. Look at that. That's it. This is ridiculous. How does he even get that? That thing looks beautiful.

Oh, dude. I'll tell you what. Did you know that all of the ladies onto something? Did you guys know that all the games in the series are engraved? Are engraved on this? Nope. I did not know that. It's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. I did not know that all the games in the series are engraved are engraved on this. Nope. I did not know that. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool.

I did not know that. I didn't know that thing was that big. I feel like whenever I saw George. It I went over our soft pictures of it in Jordan's hands and Kobe's hands. It doesn't look that big. It's monstrous. Might have been. I got to say too.

As I think the knock, one of the knocks on the Larry Brad trophy is that it looks like the shot is being missed, right? Yeah, no, for sure. When you see it in person, I think it's going in. Definitely a brick. What? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Um, I mean, obviously, uh, you know, Steph Curry shooting that thing is going in. Uh, well, you know, she killed a Neil shooting a free throw. I don't know. Uh, they pop a business. I gotta say, I gotta say the pop hack check. I gotta

admit, Larry O'Brien trophy up until this moment was not high on my list. That thing is after seeing the heft in size of this thing. That thing is enormous. Cause I think this is what people don't realize. They see it on TV after the championship. It's like seven footers hold. No, it looks like a normal size show. Yeah, yeah.

No, that's crazy. 30 pounds. Yeah. Over two feet. Yeah, Lee, that thing is enormous. Yeah, this thing is bigger than a, than a mini golden doodle. Give it a nice Give it a nice Not because I think hollow or is it solid? I don't even know if I'm a lot to do that do it. I believe it's in your house. You can do it every want

It's it's it's it's hollow, but I gotta say it's 30 It's got a sturdy like not to it. It's got some heftiness to it too. 30 fucking pounds. Like you can make sure. I feel like the Stanley Cup is like around 30, 35 pounds somewhere in there like that. And that thing is like three feet. Yeah. Then this thing's more solid than that

if it's chugging into the same weight. Then. Well, either way, this is an incredible trophy. Oh my gosh. I gotta say. I'll give it up to you Larry you got a point you got a point i think this might be i can't say this no nothing be sustainly cup well no i wasn't gonna say that i was gonna say you could say that sorry

we got it we got to step our game i feel like i'm gonna get crushed as a football player i think the one not the one not going to the one not going to you cannot I have tons of them party you cannot drink out of it or drink from it or you could you could definitely You're you're little lambarty loose you can't lose that you can look at this look at this back side of this basket No, I can go right down there You can do that you can get that done. Why? I'm telling you no, I'm looking right at it. No, you're forcing it. Nope, it's not a lose anymore. It's not a lose. Nope. You can only lose off of one trophy,

and that's the Lombardi. There's a big base to it, though, so you could all play flip cup on it if you wanted. Thank you. Thank you. Lario Bryan flip cup, let's go. Yeah, I think after I've held the Lombardi trophy. That right, man. This is a more impressive size weight. Yeah, I think after I've held the bar to trophy.

That right. This is a more impressive size weight. And I've always been more of a gold guy myself. I like gold. Oh, they got likes gold. Either way, Larry, great submission. There's no better thing than the other thing. I'm actually moving you love in our list. Are you moving them up after this? No. No. No. Are you just saying that because you're upset they didn't come to your house?

Right now. Why did they come to my house? You don't even like basketball. It's not like the sixers. I mean, I'm in the NBA finals anymore. I'm with Larry. This is the epitome of athleticism right here because basketball players are completely people. We've been over that. We've been down that argument. Look at how beautiful it is. That thing is nice, man. I'm kind of, I'm actually pretty jealous that they came to your house and not mine. Well, I mean, I think it's obvious they didn't come to your house. You just spiked the Lamarity trophy in front of 40,000 people from Kelsey Jam.

And your porn beer now decided it. Yeah, well, I get a trush just at the Travis Kelsey household. Aronius, Aronius at all accounts. Yeah, I'm porn beer now decided it. Yeah, well, I got a trust just that the Travis Kelsey house. Oh, erroneous. Arroneous at all accounts. Yeah, I'm just listening facts. This is ridiculous. If that's the reason MBA, if that's the reason MBA, this is, I heard it's my feelings. I got one. I once had dreams to play in your league.

Jason didn't even, Jason didn't even watch you guys. I could play in the NBA. This was my mood that I was an unattainable dream because's really like a play in the NBA. She's just like, I knew that that was an unattainable dream because I couldn't be you in the backyard. If I can't be my own brother in the backyard, I've probably not going to the NBA. You've never had a single second of a dream that you were.

I wanted to be Dennis Rodden. I wanted to be Dennis Rodden. Lockdown D, hustle,le, Ball, rebound machine. That was my, that was how I was going to make it and just never, never really get you to do it. You didn't even play the wreck. I mean, I knew that it wasn't going to happen. Jim class, you would go play Frisbee or something.

Travis, they don't put 62 and a half Dennis Robbins out there. You got to be at least a six six Dennis Rodman. You can't be a 62 Dennis Rodman. That's a good point. It's a good, You got to be at least a six six Dennis Robbins. You can't be a six two Dennis Robbins. Good point. It's a good you got your own. I mean, Deledova is about that, right? He's not Dennis Robbins. Yeah, but I mean, he's like the same style player. What? Just like a role player like he knows this role. He plays a well. Yeah, he plays,ays defense. All right. I don't really know what else to like. You know Jason.

Do you know who Larry O'Brien is? Jason do you? Ooh. With the curse on it. Yeah. Do you know coach Larry O'Brien? Do you know who Larry O'Brien is? Coach Larry O'Brien.

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. So Larry O'Brien trophy. You guys took the Larry O'Brien trophy. You guys took the Larry O'Brien trophy to a guy that doesn't even know Larry O'Brien is.

I'm finding out now. What's going on here? It was the commissioner. That's right. From like 75 to like 80 something. Hey, I shouldn't know that one because he's definitely was a commissioner No All right, hope for too

They're just...

No, now they are. I think originally, though, they were like, they were a legitimate team at some point. And I just think they still are an actual team. It's just at an amateur level. Well, we're digressing fantastic trophy. It is a beautiful throw. Shout out to the NBA. I'm starting to get fired up these these Eastern and Western conference finals are going to be exciting to watch them and appreciate the NBA. Let Jason have the sixers had after they just

lost. I think you're a little late to listen maybe it'll bring us a lot of six years hat on it. Oh Where's your calves hat It's upstairs. I'm not gonna lie. That's the best six years logo right there too There we go. Maybe one day One day filly screen shot that filly Who knows what the next time you'll see that Come on man, what? Too soon. Too soon. You're right, my bad, my bad, my bad. Hey, listen, it can't just

be me and James Harden, right? That was incredible. Never in a million years that I ever think that the Larry O'Brien trophy was going to be in my bed. Dude, you just hold it. I just was holding it for a whole lot of 15 minutes. My fingerprints are on it. Yeah, you're free. You're, you're, you might as well just getting graved in there. Didn't, hey, and grave them. That chicken grease ain't coming off easy either. Good luck, yes.

That a boy, we leave your mark the Kelsey way. All right. I think that's all. Blary, thank you so much for your submission and coming today. That is, it is noted. It is noted. Very, I still think it's gonna be hard to beat Lord Stanley, but it's noted.

Yeah, that thing, I think it was very impressive even from this view. Dude, I'm not kidding you. I'm glad it was, he came because it's way more impressive a person. It's a thing is enormous. Coach Larry O'Brien, ladies and gentlemen. Coach, thanks for coming. Jason, with this thing being in your hands today, we gotta get a prediction out of you, man.

Have you, you know who else is, who all is still in the NBA finals right now? Well, as of this airing, this is gonna be the Lakers Dallas, and then I think it's gonna be Miami and Denver, sorry. Nice. Sorry. Dallas didn't make the playoffs, man.

Shout out to the other guy. Yeah, you're right. Luke had missed it. Lakers Denver and Miami and Boston obviously. And I'm going Lakers. Why don't Lakers? They're taking it. It's been as wide open as it's ever been.

There's nobody. Lakers are taking it. There's no front runner. No, I don't think there is. Who's the front runner? I think Dallas and Boston are the front runners right now. You mean Denver? How about that right back at you? Look at that. So it's a you hang around Jason man. Fuck. Well, listen, it's the two D names, the two D names in the

South Southern area. What? Huh? Denver's in the South Southern area. No, Denver can't be that far from Dallas. Are we still recording this? Yeah. Whatever. Yeah, I think it's gonna be LA.

It'll be.'s going to be Denver.
