Jason, talk to the people. Let the 92% is know what's coming up this episode. First of all, I would like to push back. I do like the flowers. I was a very good friend with Claude Drew Scott Artinol. Do you? Clod Drew. Yeah. Clod Drew.
Starting point is 00:01:31 I thought Clod Drew was going to punch me in the face the one time I met him. What happened? Does he always have that look on his face? Like I'm going to punch him face. He's got some scrappiness to him. He beat Connor Barron in an arm wrestling. He challenged me and you're ever supposed to already gone. Well, whenever a smaller guy challenges in an arm wrestling. He challenged me and you're a little bit smaller. Well, whenever a smaller guy challenges you to arm wrestling competition, my first inclination is saying no because it's kind of a loose, loose situation for the big guy.
Starting point is 00:01:54 Either you're the big guy just beating a smaller guy, which is like, oh, you know, give for you. And where to go, big dude, picking on somebody smaller than you, or you lose. And it's like, you just lost to go, big dude, picking on somebody smaller than you. Or you lose. And it's like, huh, he just lost to the little guy. But he asked me enough times. And eventually I got drunk enough to say yes. And got him. But then he beat Connor. He's been. He's been. He's stronger than counter, huh? What? Armistice. Yeah. That's crazy. I would have thought with your elbow history, you would have been a goner. Well, this was years ago. Fair enough.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Shout out to Claude Jourou. Why don't you tell everybody? We're here. We're here. Shout out to Claude Jourou. Why don't we tell everybody we got coming up this episode, brother? Yeah, we got a huge show, as always.
Starting point is 00:02:39 We're gonna discuss some of the league updates coming out of the spring meetings, and we're gonna recap the live show. Hand in ounce, a huge contest. We got coming up. We got the show surprises for. Out of the shore. With shores that the Jersey shore, the one and only there,
Starting point is 00:02:59 the only only shore will ever refer to as the shore. The shore. Yeah. I mean, there's more shores. It's a lot of shores. Yeah. But there's only one. There's refer to as the shore. The shore, yeah, I mean, there's more shores. There's a lot of shores, but there's only one. There's nothing like that Cleveland shore, no saying. That's, I don't know if that's a cherry. Is a lake, can you have a shore of a lake?
Starting point is 00:03:16 There's a shore. That's a great place. When you're coming, it's a shore. Is that specific to the sea? The sea, the ocean.'m going to say, ah, you're going to say ah, ah, ah, I don't know. Now, you know what? I think it's a no because the Ozarks have more shoreline than the state of California. How crazy is that? Lake of those arcs has a shoreline. Well, and I've heard that saying before. So it's got to be common knowledge for you there, folks.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Go to the Ozarks. If there's a good way to gauge the English language, it's off of the Ozarks in Missouri. Okay. New news. Still tap five sports podcasts, depending on when you're looking at the charts. That's all we got new news. So I guess we'll get straight to the fan mentions of the week. And new news, not so new.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Fan mentions of the week, ladies and gentlemen, the live show reactions. You got to love it, man. We had it. I actually had a blast watching the live show over again. I didn't realize that I did a lot of the stuff that I was doing during the live show. I guess once that camera, once the light turned red on that camera, I just turned it to another person. Yeah, let's get to some of these fan mentions, man.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Like some of our favorites here. How about a little tingle my berries? I ride very closely there. Tingle my berries, 21, 33. It's amazing seeing this show turn into what it is. Yeah, no, honestly, that was that was far from a sports show that we had. 133 it's amazing seeing this show turn into what it is yeah no honestly that was that was far from a sports show that we had out there in Kansas Kansas City. I don't even know is that a compliment or I can be taking a couple of
Starting point is 00:04:55 ways. I mean it says amazing anytime anybody says we've done some amazing things I think it's always going to be pretty positive. You think it's positive? I don't know I mean if it depends on the context. We went further than their imagination. So that's an amazing shit we just took. But compliment. Is that it? Yeah, that is a compliment.
Starting point is 00:05:14 I'd take that as a compliment. Yeah. Big sis over here, boy. It's an amazing ball spot. You had. Dude, at the same time, if somebody's amazed, I think it's a positive reaction. Yeah, I think there's, I'm trying to think, what's the right context? You'd exceed your expectations or imagination.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Yeah, but if the expectation is gone in the opposite way, it's seen in a negative way. Like what? That's an amazing ass-woping you just took. That's positive, yeah, I could take an ass-woping. All. Hi, I mean you bring it up fair points. I'll take it All right, let's keep it moving baby dirty tea Dirti cow 35 at dirty cow 35 such a great time my buddy got hit in the face with a t-shirt can Game out Tony G Tony G you hit somebody the face of the t-shirt
Starting point is 00:06:05 cannon. He was okay. It's finished the tweet. He was okay and had a good laugh after nice. Nice. Well, thank God we didn't have to call the EMTs because those things were coming out hot. Yeah, we need to check the video on this. We didn't it doesn't say Tony was the one firing it. So I wonder who was firing it when Tony was coming out. Dirty cowl, if you couldn't, you could get us that because Jason was, he was a loose cannon. I would love to know if I hit somebody who was a loose cannon there. Score. No, Ferris.
Starting point is 00:06:37 That was my guy Rob Reddler. Um, yeah, let's keep him moving. Walmart owns ad Walmart owns. Pretty sure Stone Cold Chris Jones is going to fight my homes in practice after seeing him use that entrance music. Well, that entrance music was our idea and there's nothing more than a lecturic than Stone Cold's shatter like the entrance shattering glass. So and Pat B and the Texas gunslinger.
Starting point is 00:07:04 He is. I felt like it made sense, but yeah, if anything, Stone Cold Jones would be honored and be happy for Pat with that kind of entrance. Yeah, that glass breaking. Did he get him pumped up? That glass breaking entrance is iconic. Is the iconic way to interrupt whatever's happening
Starting point is 00:07:21 out on a stage. Do you wanna? What? What? It's Texas Raddle Snake. up to whatever's happening out on a stage. Do you want to? It's Texas, right? I'll snake at big heavy 76. Honestly, that version of Jason balled half naked and a agree and armed with a t-shirt cannon is what we should send to represent earth from the aliens.
Starting point is 00:07:41 That's actually pretty. I mean, yeah, I would love to see Jason against the alien. I'd pay to if I could see it. I think that would be especially dresses a bearded baby in a diaper. I mean, chances are, you know, aliens would be so advanced mentally that physically, they probably are going to have de-evolved by that point. So we're probably dealing with a very weak physical opponent. Yeah. I think, does that make sense?
Starting point is 00:08:08 It does, I think. So I think that I think I could take an alien. They gotta fit in that spaceship. So it gotta be pretty small, right? Doesn't make sense to have big old aliens. Who knows how big aliens get, man. I don't think they get that big dude. I think the one judging judging We don't have to have that dad have to have dad dad. I think dad
Starting point is 00:08:31 That's the foremost Expert on alien size and stature big head and Bob. Lizar. I'm gonna ask Bob. I think Bob said they were not asking Bob I'm not asking that quack. I'm not actually that qu I think what I think. Yeah. That's bullshit. Until he's not until he's not. Dolores Bruce 573 next live next live show needs to be in Philly. And I'm down for that. I think it's only fair. I think it's only fair. We're gonna do if we're gonna do one in Kansas City We should do one in Philly. I think that makes sense. In fact, when we're at the Wells Fargo for the Sixers game one of the attendance
Starting point is 00:09:16 Or people working for Wells Fargo came up to us and floated us doing a live show of Wells Fargo If we could do that. Is that a bit ambitious? That's very ambitious. Are you fucking getting me? Just saying. Is that 25,000 I would assume? That sounds a lot of people in there. They're all showing up for a live show.
Starting point is 00:09:38 21,000. Oh, yeah. I mean, you know, we put, if we can get Jalen to come. Oh, yeah, I mean, you know, we put if we can get Jalen to come You got a chance we might make it happen. Oh, who would the guest be? What do we so we had we had a couple teammates We also had Rodriguez down. That was a pretty big sign. That was pretty big grab We have we had a few teammates, uh, X Philly legend. You would need, we had a X Kansas city legend in Tony G. So maybe Alan Hiverson. Oh,
Starting point is 00:10:15 my God. If we got AI, that thing is definitely getting sold out. Right. Yeah. Well, that's how you do it. You get dream big kids. Yeah. I mean, AI, dog. God, that would be nice. You know, Taylor hurts. Talk some football. AI was a high school QB. He was nice. Seeing the highlights.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Yeah. He was a dog because all NBA guys could probably translate to the football field. If you ask Jason Kelsey, who else would you need? Do you need like some sort of like actor or like TV show superstar. Well we had Stone Street. I know Miles Teller pretty good. He's a little bit like a man Miles Maverick. There's so many other roles but god damn he killed that one. You did. Yeah no Miles is a legend. I prefer Whiplash more. Whiplash I mean I love that movie. Oh God. That was a good one You know, it was another good one was a
Starting point is 00:11:07 Wardogs Good one too. Yeah, I mean It's a beast. Yeah, he's kills it. He kills it. I like a Always son who'd be good Danny DeVito. Who he has no connection to Philadelphia, but he's You're ridiculous Charles Barkley How can we forget about dude yeah talk about Gifted gab not many people better than Sir Charles. No, there's not there's not I don't know if you like you could tell me there's one person better than Chuck you'd better start calling
Starting point is 00:11:40 To people because I brought the damn house down in Kansas City. All right I mean yeah, Tony Gonzalez, a great site. I never should ever to play the game. Where are you going to get in Philly? If you want legends, you go for Nick Coles, tricky, Nicky, man. Hey, the only quarterback right now to own a football trophy in the Eagles uniform, although Jaylen sure tried his best.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Yeah, I think Nick has a, a very cemented legacy in the Philadelphia lore for multiple reasons. Yeah, if you guys might be interested in a Wells Fargo stadium show with the likes of any of those people, give this video a thumbs up. Double double click it. Give it a double clip and we'll get it going All right now. Let's hit no double questions big Dowl We asked you guys to send us a new batch of no dumb questions and you guys delivered No, no, no questions is brought to you by our friends at accelerator energy drinks
Starting point is 00:12:41 Accelerator gives us the sustained energy and enhanced focus to give you guys not dumb answers to your not dumb questions. No, no, questions. How many holes does a straw have? I mean, it's just one hole, man. I don't know why this, you got it. We can't do like the standard, there's a hot dog sandwich, there's a straw. How many holes is a straw? We're looking for a little bit more innovation than this. I mean, clearly straws have two holes that are connected in the middle. And everybody said you're ridiculous. You don't even believe that.
Starting point is 00:13:18 You don't even believe it. It's one hole. What makes it one hole that it's connected? So it's one hole? No, it's just one hole that it's connected? So it's one hole? No, it's just one hole. There's not just because it's starting to finish. It doesn't mean it has two holes. So if you...
Starting point is 00:13:36 If you have a hole, let's open, and it's going straight. Yeah. And then it curves to the left and then you have a hole that continues goes like, you have a straw and then you have another open end that goes to the left. That's all just one hole. Just changing the question. I'm just asking, what is your definition of a hole?
Starting point is 00:13:58 A definition of a hole is that there's a start and they finish to the hole. There's nothing breaking it or stopping it. So if it's just, if there could be multiple ends to the hole, but it is one hole. So if you have a straw that's continuous and then it has four other shooting points that come off of it, that's all just one hole.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Like a groundhog, like an ant hole is just a big old, it's just one hole. One hole. Yeah, there's prepoters. I think it's ridiculous. And I think that was a bit of my share. I think a bunch of guys has one hole. This is the thing.
Starting point is 00:14:36 This is the thing. This is the thing. This is why I hate these same questions. But they can change the entire question. It's a straw. Why is a straw two holes? If you would allow me to talk, I'll explain. Why is it? Because this is myself.
Starting point is 00:14:54 This is my problem with these questions. The only reasons they exist is for people to come up with arbitrary definitions. And they're like, God, God, it's one hole, even though you take the straw and go, one, two, it's fucking two, all right? It's a you go, one, two, it's fucking two, right? It's a hot dog sandwich. Would you ever call a fucking hot dog a sandwich? I don't give a fuck whether, oh, it's in between two slices of bread. Okay, if you told me, hey, I'm bringing you a sandwich. You can't even argument. If this is my whole point, it's semantics. It's stupid semantics, but everybody knows if you talk about a sandwich, you're not talking about a fucking hot dog and if you're talking about a straw it has
Starting point is 00:15:28 this end and this end and this end you look at it there's a hole right there at that end you look at the bottom there's a hole at that end it doesn't matter that there's a connector in between it does a door you fucking walk through the door like if I open that door and then I open this door now. I'm just living in a fucking hole Yeah, no, I'm in a fucking house and that's an entrance and then exit and that's an entrance in an exit. That's two fucking holes There's one hole in a straw Jason. You can look through it No, I don't care. Whatever your fucking scientists buddies come up with or whatever anybody Look stuff on Google. Yeah, because I hang out with a bunch of scientists. All right, let's do this. You're in the middle of the straw. You're in the middle of the
Starting point is 00:16:10 straw. Yeah. All right. You're in the middle of the whole. We made it big. Let's go this way. Let's go. Let's go. The middle of a hole. What are we going to make a big straw around you? Okay. Yeah. You look, you look to your left and you're right. Are you seeing one hole or two holes? Look to my left look to my right Like oh my god. I'm in a hole No, how did I get in the hole? This is preposterous If you're in a cave if you're in a cave, you're in a cave and it's got multiple exits
Starting point is 00:16:40 Are there's all just this all just one hole? I'm gonna look around to be like I'm in a cave This is crazy. I'm not gonna think that there's a hole at the end of the cave I'm gonna make these Caves different a hole this is the problem with these are stupid questions because they come up with oh Jason there's no dumb questions moving on to the next Sam which fucking Burritos a sandwich. No, a taco can be a sandwich. I'm just saying this is where you go into these semantics. Everybody knows what a fucking sandwich is. Everybody
Starting point is 00:17:11 knows what a hot dog is. It's not a fucking if you ask for a sandwich and somebody brought your hot dog, you'd be pretty fucking like what the fuck is this? This is a sandwich. Is a burger sandwich? Huh? I think it burgers a burger. I don't get into the semantics of it. I'm not going to go into. Is it a sandwich? We all know a sandwich when we see one. That's a burger.
Starting point is 00:17:35 I'm not going to go into. Well, what classification is it? Or, hey, does this straw have one whole two holes? Like if it's a silly straw straw does that count as one hole I'm not getting into all this it's it's got this end in this end and both of those ends has a hole in it I don't give a fuck what happens in the middle of it two holes. He's spent enough time on this. All right fake nanny j fake manny j who are the top three movie villains of all time we could go any direction We talking horror films we talking action movies we talk comedies. What are we talking?
Starting point is 00:18:12 I mean, I think all my villains are gonna be based off of comedy and action movies because I'm not really a big horror film kind of guy Sure It's too easy to it's too obvious pretty Kruger. Yeah All right, well, yeah, no shit. Texas James on Maxiger. Yeah. Cool. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:31 I hope they don't come after me. Do we go top three? Top three. Okay. My number one, I number one, I'll go for Joker. I'm going to Joker's definitely top three. You're fucking throwing a superhero villain at, come on. Dude. What do you mean? He's as an unbelievable role
Starting point is 00:18:47 Yeah, if you are makeup you can't be considered a great villain I can't wait to hear your villain go ahead who you're going with we'll go back Ernie McCracken Ernie McCracken. That's a good villain Yeah, to good villain. I think he's got some of the best liners you could ever think of. He's cleverness, he's got deception, mischief, talent. He's got it all. And he's got the look. He's got the look. Especially when that hair gets going frizzy and like kind of at the end of a bowling
Starting point is 00:19:23 match, like he really looks like he's the billen. Who am with next? Uh, since you're going comedy, I'll go comedy, uh, I'm going white. Good man. Global gym, Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller, nice. I actually think that's not Ben Stiller's best villain. Dylan. Dylan. That's a good one. I know. I know. Bill is in heavyweight. Yes, the same character. It's just a kids. It's better though. The lines are better. No, it is not. How you doing little Tony? The movie is iconic. There's there's only one of those movies out here.
Starting point is 00:20:05 All right. I love Dodgeball. I think maybe it's just the nostalgia of heavyweights. I think that's a better Ben Stiller villain. Either way, Ben Stiller is a villain. I will. I think we should just give you, you should just take Ben Stiller's villain. I'll just take Ben Stiller.
Starting point is 00:20:19 You take him in both of those. You can take him in happy Gilmore as the evil nanny sitter. You can take him in. Oh my gosh. This is one of the most iconic villains of all time. I've tried to think of what else he's been a villain in. Uh, thought of whatever. Yeah. Ben Sturzer villain. Good take. Good take. I'll go, uh, Willie Walker.
Starting point is 00:20:40 I must be missing something. What are you missing? He killed a bunch of kids in his chocolate factory Travis? Tyson he did not kill a single not only that they all they're all not only that But he kidnapped a bunch of Oopalupas and hasn't working in his fucking chocolate factory. I'm out on the Torrey see the way those Oopalupas dance and have fun in that place. They fucking love that place They definitely signed up. They don't have a choice. They don't have a choice. They don't have a choice because the kids need candy. No, because nobody's allowed to leave the chocolate. So Santa, Santa's holding a whole bunch of elves hostage up in the North Pole. And if the elves leave, they're calling Santa a villain. No, there's a clear rule
Starting point is 00:21:20 on the, the Willy Wonka, the chocolate movie that you can't leave the factory. That's the I mean, it's explicit. Yeah. That's not an explicit rule of Santa. Santa is employing a bunch of elves that wouldn't have jobs otherwise. He's just providing labor and paying for with sugar. Who was my last villain? Who did I have as my last villain? Oh, one of my favorites of all time. Dr. Evil. Dr. Oh, one of my favorites of all time. Dr. Evil. Oh, dude, that's a good one. Dr. Evil is a legendary villain. He's even got a miniature.
Starting point is 00:21:51 You're throwing. Yeah, my love, those ostopires. Those are electric. I love those. They were so much fun. I think I watched one of the other day, one with with Beyonce damn which one was that? Was that one Oh, Beyonce was two I think
Starting point is 00:22:14 Pretty sure gold member gold member. Yeah, that's it number three thousand but three Wow, damn there were some good ones before this is We know that was a fairly of all time Gold member was with fat bastard. I do remember that. Yeah Damn, that was a good one too. So I still have one more left. Hey, you got one more Okay, I mean, I gotta go Ivan Drago if he dies. He dies That's lame Why is that lame? It's not a good villain. He killed Apollo Creed. Do you have no fucking heart?
Starting point is 00:22:41 Not a good villain. He killed Apollo Creed. Do you have no fucking heart? Ah. No. Well, I'll tell you what. Not for a jargo. Well, you would have heart for Apollo. He's the one who died.
Starting point is 00:22:56 I think we need another Rocky movie. Because I mean, we got the fuck out of it. United everyone. United everybody and ended the Cold War. And I think we need more movies like that. We got the fuck out of here. You knighted everybody and ended the Cold War. And I think we need more movies like that. If you could change, we could change.
Starting point is 00:23:11 All of us could change. Yeah. If I could change, we all can change. Whatever. You need to change your villain is what you need to do. Because that last one was pretty buns. Hey, you're over here naming the Joker real original Yeah, the fucking
Starting point is 00:23:29 Little big guy in Rocky movie. He's a ledger One awards for that Heath Ledger. He did he did a great job. He's made a terrible Superhero movie somehow spectacular somehow spectacular. It's the legendary villain, see? Moving on, what's there last, uh, no dumb questions here? What is a piece of your uniform? You are required to wear that you feel has no purpose and you either fit. I couldn't even finish the sentence there. Um, yeah, no, I love wearing thigh pads and e-pads because that's, uh, typically where I'm getting tackled. sentence there. Um, yeah, no, I love wearing thigh pads and knee pads because that's typically where I'm getting tackled. So I'm definitely wearing those.
Starting point is 00:24:09 And I'm not fucking wearing the little tiny knee pads neither I'm wearing them big old things because I got big knees. Make sure I stay protected up there. Always protect yourself. No, I'm saying, my mom always taught me that. What else, what else, oh, the fricking, the mushroom tops, get the fuck out of here with the mushroom tops.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Hit the season. No, the preseason. The Helmet tops heads. Yeah, the kid. What do we fucking do? I mean, what are we doing? That looks it feels So fucking stupid. It looks completely fucking stupid. Like why do, why are we putting more pads on? Why are we putting more pads on? The helmet isn't safe enough?
Starting point is 00:24:54 Is that what you're telling me? Helmet isn't safe enough. That's safe enough. It's safe enough to nasscar. I think it's blasphemy. Blasphemy if you think that shit is making the game safer for us in training camp. I think we need to fucking get gone with them things and yeah I'm gonna really push it to the limit
Starting point is 00:25:11 on not wearing those so. Oh I hope you get by it. I just hope I don't get fined for not wearing it. Well I don't think I think somebody is doing this with the idea that it's making it safer. So I understand. I just can only speak from personal like anecdotes. I think your head bounces more when you hit with it on. Like when you hit with that on, my head feels like like ricochets more. That's what I'm saying. Before we keep going, we need to shout out one of our sponsors. Oh, which one? Fireball.
Starting point is 00:25:45 I love those. Yeah, man. Who doesn't like your good fireball? Luke Hings now. Sometimes I just... Yeah! Right down the face hole. Right down the gullet.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Fireball takes any event to the next level, winning the big game, even more electric, getting drafted, even more electric, or even interviewing your own head coach. Extremely electric, the kind of nervous. Yeah, he's got that effect. Fireballs, iconic cinnamon flavor, it tastes fire and goes down easy, making it the ultimate crown pleaser.

Yeah, what is starberry and then I finished or I'm on. Starberry is delicious. Very lemony. Yeah, what is starberry? Delicious.

Let's get to some bold topics that wrap up this week in the NFL off season, not really a lot going on in the off season at this point in time. We did get some updates on some of these NFL spring meetings and maybe some of the rules
Starting point is 00:29:09 that have been changed or enforced. Coming up this 2023 season, the NFL has approved and flexed scheduling for Thursday night football games from teams getting 28 days noticed. So as long as there's 28 day notice that you're going to play on a Thursday, you can get flexed. And that's effective on we from weeks 13 to week 17. It's pretty crazy. Which is, you know, I guess you only get two Thursday night games. We get one Thursday night game, but you get two max. Now you can have two. Yeah. Now you can have two and you can't play two road games on Thursday night. So that's kind of the deal there. Yeah. If you get flexed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:54 intricacies of this new rule change and how you get flexed. As we've talked about before, I'm a huge fan of the Thursday night games. I'm a huge fan of them even later in the season two. Yeah. Listen, I am all for games being played on Thursdays because that means we have walkthroughs during the middle of the week. And we don't practice. And then we get three days off after the game. And players, players that are, well, it's not about laziness. It's about helping my legs recover and getting fresh, but players that are anti Thursday night games are just looking to make headlines. There's no fucking chance Anybody with half a brain cell is against Thursday night games. I heard some quarterbacks say that they don't like them because of the
Starting point is 00:30:32 Game prep and they have to stay up later and have to work harder mentally. Yeah, but the other teams doing the same thing But yeah, I get that. I mean quarterbacks do you have to put in more work? I can see that I guess but I Like it. I like having less mental reps Because I feel like I'm kind of old and have seen more. So I'm good on that. You old dog. Hey, that dog.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Oh, that dog is going. Yeah, we'll see. It's good. And the other reason I'm a fan of the Thursday night games getting flexed is I just like good football being on prime time TV. I don't want to turn my Thursday night television on and have to watch.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Those are some of those bands last year were bad. Those bands. Oh, man, or they were watching good football. And Thursday night is one of the few nights that I get to watch football and just enjoy it as a fan. Let's get some good friggin matchups. That's right. All right. Now, what else happened in the spring meetings? They passed a by law originally proposed by the Detroit Lions To dress a third quarterback Oh Detroit Lions proposes is bullshit
Starting point is 00:31:33 You don't like this to this is such bullshit so that so just because of what happened in San Fran All right, well, that's why this is interesting that the Lions Proposed it because they're basically saying if San Fraying would add a third quarterback, they would have went to Super Bowl. That's what this means Uh, I think they're just saying this is what they're saying. They're like, well, if they're in the app They would have been they would have had third quarterback. It would have been a game and they would have lost I mean when they were down to their second quarterback for the game I think it was going to be struggles but in general, I don't like watching football when quarterbacks aren't playing quarterback. Like when you're when
Starting point is 00:32:10 you're putting a position where receivers or already injured players are playing, I'm a big fan of this. It actually used to be the rule. The rule used to be you could dress the third quarterback and it didn't count for your active roster. And at some point they changed that around the time I came into the league. So they're kind of going back to the way the rule used to be, which was, I think everybody had the idea of, hey, nobody wants to watch football without somebody who can throw the ball. Let's just, I think everybody likes watching the football when people can throw the ball. So, I'm a fan.
Starting point is 00:32:47 I think it's a good rule. I know that we got put in a similar situation in a playoff game. Jimmy Kemsky has a really reminded me of this shout out to Jimmy. We were playing the Seahawks in a playoff game. Carson Wentz goes down. Then we had Josh McCown come in. He tore his hamstring and he had to finish the game off with a torn hamstring.
Starting point is 00:33:07 I think I remember this. Yeah, we were about to put in Greg Ward, I believe at quarterback. Man, uh, talk about a dream come true. This thing really shooting down my dreams. That's why I don't like it. Ah, man. That's why you don't like to rule. You want to put quarterback before whenever you the three whenever Pat went down
Starting point is 00:33:25 I felt like I was like one snap away, man. I was just Let's play hypothetical before this rule existed. I'm pretty sure coach read answered that question he was here I am I am not the emergency Something about my decision making with the football my hands that I don't know I don't know. I don't know if you guys have like you do it. Blake Bell, big 12 quarterback. He's actually on. He's got a nice little game against I think Oklahoma State. The bell dozer leading them to the two men in the drill throwing some balls all over
Starting point is 00:34:03 the field. That's always fun watching that. But yeah, I think Blake Bells are our guy if, uh, if unfortunately knock on wood, all the QBs go down. We know he can run the quarterback sneaks, so that's one play in the bag. Damn, we can do that. Bell does it. Yeah, he had a lot of the wildcat options at Oklahoma.
Starting point is 00:34:21 Nice. NFL owners table the Eagles proposal to create a fourth and 20 alternative to the onside kick. Man, you guys really want to go for it on fourth and 20. Just ruin the win. Yeah, we really want this rule to be an effect because they've been pushing for this one for a number of years. It didn't get voted down.
Starting point is 00:34:40 It didn't just get dismissed, but it's going to be further discussion is going to be needed for that one. I think I like it. I like it. If it's get dismissed, but it's going to be further discussion. It's going to be needed for that one. I think I like it. I like it if it's like desperation. I don't like it in the middle of the game. I like it under two minutes if you need it and it's there. Get out of jail free card. Make this thing interesting for it.
Starting point is 00:34:57 I don't think during the game it's a, I don't think we need that. I'm not a fan of it because it's so out of left field. I don't think it's the worst idea in the world. I can see it being cool. I think that they should, the easier, like the reason this exists is because it's so hard to get an on-side kick because of how they've changed the kickoff rules.
Starting point is 00:35:19 Yeah, I think they're running start. So I think the logical way to fix that is, if you're doing on-side kick, you're allowed to you're running start. So I think the logical way to fix it is, if you're doing on-side kick, you're allowed to get a running start. Like just make that, like just be like, hey, the game's on the line. We're gonna let these guys get a running start and have a chance at on-side kick.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Cause I think on-side kicks are exciting. I like the on-side kick. Let's put it back into. You can do it. You wanna talk, I mean, it's the most can cuss to play in all of football. Hey listen games on the line and there's a time to get a concussion it's that time you
Starting point is 00:35:50 know you want that ball back. Don't say it. Just say it. What you got me we got a guy that we got more we got about five or six guys are willing to do it man so. I just I think some more. Now, I just, I think that that's easier. Fix just let there be one time where you're allowed to have an outside kick is your trailing beneath like a certain time and
Starting point is 00:36:14 like the fourth quarter, right? Like there should be some like benchmark and there's a right. You want to do an outside kick? Go for it. You can do it. And the guys can get a 15 yard start. However far they want to run. You've had it at 40. I'd start. I think we need to bring back the outside kick instead
Starting point is 00:36:31 of bringing up these other. Get our government cavity back in pads. Oh, Colin NFL owners have approved the proposal to spot the ball on the 25 yard line on a fair catch of a kickoff made inside the 25 in the goal line or in the end zone. I think this is absolutely stupid. I don't think this is making the game safer. I think it's making it more boring and taking a lot of excitement out of the out of the games opening play. This is whack. Yeah, but I'm not, I mean, we're just getting closer and closer to getting rid of special teams. I mean, it is like, what do we,
Starting point is 00:37:08 the only thing left now is punt. Like, I don't, when is somebody not gonna fare catch it and take the ball to 25, unless it's just a really bad kick, right? I don't know. Yeah, unless it, unless you just squib kicking it and you got to return it. Yeah, I mean, like maybe if it was like a windy day and it was bad hang time and a short
Starting point is 00:37:27 kick, you'd still return it. But the vast majority of kickoffs are, it's going to be even exponentially higher now than it's going to be a fair catch, touch back, you know, no return. Boo. That's his whack. And it's taken away from the excitement of a kickoff, man. I love watching kickoffs. I just don't know what are we doing it for then. Like what is we're just gonna have guys. Hey, I'm gonna run 80 odds for no reason and then we're gonna start drive
Starting point is 00:37:55 So dumb like what? We're just gonna do everything for show and here's the ceremonial kickoff that's not gonna get returned ever That's what I'm saying man you you ten guys go run down the field and then get the flates the excitement of like the first kick off like everybody used to like Boom Everybody runs on the ball and it says boom when it gets kicked off and it's exciting and then you see that first live Contact guys are you hearing everybody's just running full speed at each other? Shhh.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Heads are banging. Guys are running full speed at each other. And the guys get close line. It does a back flip. And you're like, football! This is electric! And you're just gonna fucking turn it into, doob.
Starting point is 00:38:42 25 yard line. It's, get the quarterback out here. I think at this point, just put the ball on into 25 yard line. It's get the quarterback out here. I think at this point, just put the ball on the 25 yard line and start the game. Like we don't need the show of a potential thing that's not going to happen. It just takes away from everything. It's just immediately deflate you. Yeah. Well, I just got deflated thinking about it. I'm not, I just think we should just start at the 25 yard. Let's just get rid of it completely. And just to be a good guy's out of work, but just to let you guys know we're not the only ones to think this there's a lot of special teams coordinators and players around the league They're against this
Starting point is 00:39:11 So cross-priced Corners are against this. Yeah, see their jobs living out of their hands. I don't know What do you do? I guess we can just bitch What do you do? I guess we can just bitch We can just tell the world that we really feel on our podcast new heights. Don't forget subscribe wherever you're podcasting Follow us on social media platforms at new heights show when that's Tom Brady has finalized a deal to buy a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders from our mark Davis
Starting point is 00:39:44 Why didn't he do this with craft and the team he won six Super Bowls with maybe crafted an off from an opportunity to buy it. That's crazy. You don't let the most what is it the most decorated NFL football player of all time get an opportunity to get minority steak in the team that he pretty much did it with. Yeah, I mean, that's a. I think I don't understand why that maybe he just maybe that guy maybe that guy just loves Vegas, you know, I mean, you know, listen, these owners don't get to be owners and billionaires by giving up ownership in their team to players that do a really good job. Like Like they, you know, I don't.
Starting point is 00:40:26 I think it is weird. It's definitely weird that he's now an officially. He's an owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. It's still subject to NFL approval, I guess. Oh, that's fine. I thought they're going to deal with this. They're not going to approve top rating. And we can't let players start having ownership here.
Starting point is 00:40:44 We got a. Yeah. He's nipped this in the butt right now. He's surprisingly the third player that's got ownership in the NFL. Who else do we know the other? We know I looked them up. Never heard of them. I would also assume that they're like played in like this. The 60 70s or like the 80s. Like I don't remember. I didn't recognize these dudes. At all Shout out to those guys though. I mean shit there on an NFL team you guys do pretty damn good are you guys gonna do this when you retire? Are we gonna do this in our retire? I think you have a better state that we would have that opportunity
Starting point is 00:41:18 Chance in me I have a better chance. Yeah, I think you got a better chance for sure. You're the mayor of Philadelphia, dude Listen, they don't there's no chance they're offering a percentage of the team. Yeah, no, there's no chance at all But there's a chance that I can even afford it I mean talking about like a four six moon Minority ownership What do you mean about I mean talking about like a four six Moves in my normal organization it's minority ownership. I mean what you say how much you think I'm as how much you think time is putting up I just think times when you think it's putting up like 100 male how much you think you put up I mean you think this is a like six figures he's just throwing a little fucking hundred thousand in there a couple of
Starting point is 00:41:58 Mill you see he's got to be male so you know it's it's it's it's in the seventh It's actually it's probably oh I'm probably eight seven days. It might be nine. It might be nine. It might be nine. It's not you think it's a hundred. There's no fucking finance it. It's at least a fucking way. It's a hundred mill. If he goes a hundred mill, I mean, he's getting a legit stake in this. That's what I'm saying. It's minority stake, which is a A hundred million is not gonna be. That's still minority, got it. A hundred billion of like a five billion dollar organization.
Starting point is 00:42:32 A processing it in my head as I said it. And I just sounded like one percent of five billion. Do it, do it, do it, do it. Carry the decibel. Carry the decibel. One percent of five billion is 50 billion. One percent of five billion is 50 billion. One percent of five billion is 50 million, right? I think that's right.
Starting point is 00:42:51 Way to carry the decibel. All right. So I guess, yeah, I mean, he could be still minority steak, probably, for seven figures. Yeah. Because 50 million is one percent of five billion. Damn, man. It's crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:03 And who knows? Maybe the Raiders organization is more than five billion out, five billion. That's crazy. I bet they are. I mean, over and big, who knows, but dude, that new stadium they built out there in Vegas, that's gonna. So do you think that since he's the owner and it's, just retired last year. You know what I mean? Lyshe still played last year. Does he and the new rule change and now you can
Starting point is 00:43:33 keep three quarterbacks. Is he the third quarterback? Because the roster spot is it doesn't count against you. So I just dress this every game as an owner. Every pretty good. He Lemieux, that thing. I'd be interested to see what the actual stipulations of this are. But this could actually mean that Tom Brady is definitely retired and not coming back. Because I don't think you're allowed to be an owner and player. An owner and an active player. Unless you're an active player on that team, I think I think you're gold. I don't even think then you'd be allowed to because that be a why wouldn't to get away with like salary cap, like things. Why wouldn't you just give up like a very minority.
Starting point is 00:44:18 She's thinking. That's a good point. I'm going to bring up next time. I get a contract. I don't know why I think that the NFL's already thought this out and I think that that's why you better way to do this. He's just give me ownership. Yeah, I'm you can pay me like just see positive if you can give me ownership of this shit. Pretty, pretty positive. Tom is not allowed to come back if he is an owner.
Starting point is 00:44:39 What's big news? I guess it's big news. Yeah. Well, let's keep this show on the road. Jimmy Gropalo just can't get away from Tom Brady. Hi guys. How about that? How about that?
Starting point is 00:44:51 All right, Broback, rookie signing. Sorry, as we have seen this past week, and I guess the week before, a lot of these rookies have been signing contracts. Usually, the team getting theirras as an NFL player. Money, money, money, money, money, money. Rookie mini camps have wrapped up. And now we're waiting for
Starting point is 00:45:13 training camp to officially open. So I guess we thought we'd share, I guess our rookie signing stories, contracts. I mean, all right. Now we have much to say. I got a little bit. I got a little bit.
Starting point is 00:45:24 I guess it's public knowledge anyways. It's 1,000 percent public knowledge. I mean, all right. We have much to show. I got a little bit. I got a little bit. public knowledge anyways. It's 1000% public knowledge. So yeah, I was a six round pick. And at that time, the rookie minimum was 365,000 dollars. Damn. That's crazy. How much to change in two years? Well, not just that, but dude, it's more than several. Yeah, no, I'm saying that it's gone up almost and went up to 75 grand so it's 360. Yeah, I was about to say It was for four oh five my year. So it went up just about
Starting point is 00:45:56 20 years 20 every year 20 4 or 5 and it was 365. We went up 40,000 in two years was a 405 and it was 365, it went up 40,000 in two years. But I think now it's like almost, I think it's officially double that. Yeah, it's up in the 600's now. Yeah, 365,000 is my rookie contract. I got a 90,000 or a 60,000 dollar signing bonus. I guess I should know that.
Starting point is 00:46:17 60 grand, baby. Maybe it was 90,000. I got 60 after 10. Maybe that's what I remember. I forget. Either way, you had 60 bones in your bank account. I did. And the first thing I bought, was a pickup truck.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Ooh, what kind? In particular, the first one I bought was a Ford F-150. Oh, now I'm partial to Ram Trucks as I have a dealership Steve, Vity and Chrysler Dodge Jeep and Ram. It's pretty good. I'll be driving the Ram 2500 Cummings diesel engine. So cool. But yeah, my first truck.
Starting point is 00:46:58 I always, there's two vehicles I always wanted. The two vehicles I always wanted to own in life was one to pick up truck into a Jeep Wrangler. I don't know what, but those are like the two, like some people wanted sports cars or high end, out of whatever, those are the two that I always wanted. I never, I guess I remember you had them both. You had them both, ooh, who's the third was there the third that I want now
Starting point is 00:47:26 And I'm trying to talk Kylie into it, but she's not biting is a minivan Or conversion she's not bite on a minivan. They're the best She I think she she thinks she's too cool and I'm trying to tell you tell you tell her like a spinner van the spinner van It's too much. That's on that's not necessarily cool too much That's I mean, I would do the spring event to those things about this But I think you can customize those things Thank for your buck there um No, I think I'm talking about just a Dodge mini like dude car seats getting them in and out with like a normal door
Starting point is 00:47:59 There's a reason the minivans are high sellers big what my first car. Thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed Dodge Caravan, baby. The first car I ever drove was the green Dodge Caravan we grew up with. And ladies and gentlemen, this isn't your fancy two-door back door. This is one sliding door on the passenger side. You got one entrance in the back seat, baby. There ain't no running away from mom and dad without getting out that exit. At one point in high school, me and my buddies
Starting point is 00:48:33 were going to a house party and we thought it would be a good idea to, well, we didn't think it would be good. We're going to a house party and we put a bunch of beer in the meaty van and we're driving to the house party. And all of a sudden I hear this t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t the speeds up. And I'm like, what are the chances if I just for it that whatever's caught in the engine will spit outside. That was my logic. That was my logic brain working right there. I'm like, I've worked, if I can work, and I'm cruising, and then I go to turn the vehicle. I had no power steering. And let me tell you, many of you loaded up with a bunch of dudes and I'm here.
Starting point is 00:49:29 It was hard to turn that sucker in high school. And that was the end of the green minivan. And I graduated to the purple minivan after the green minivan. Purple minivan might have been better, man man because that got handed down to good old me Much more up-to-date model. Yeah, I've had some I've had some legendary moments in the purple Yeah, the cassette tape we had the cassette tape with the The cord coming out the cassette You can put your iPod
Starting point is 00:50:04 Oh The your iPod. Ooh, the original iPod. God, we're really dating ourselves right now. I didn't say anything about it about rookie contract. For those of you that don't know, I guess it's different now. Now we get paid biweekly. But at that time when I was a rookie, it used to get weekly checks.
Starting point is 00:50:22 And this is when you used to get like a physical check. And on the end of it, I had a scene, I'd tell you what, I was, this is the most money I've ever seen in our lives. I was more money than our parents had seen. This was like crazy to me. That was getting paid that much money to play football. And then I saw Jason Peters gain check. And I realized this dude made after taxes more in one game than I made the entire season Pretax lay I was like dude and guess what and I was like in my head. I was like he's worth every Maybe one day I could be like Jason Peters and now you are I'm still not not. When I was rookie, it was crazy. But I'm doing good. What?
Starting point is 00:51:08 Yeah, what was your rookie? What was your rookie contract? So when I came in, like we said, it was 405 was the, the rookie, uh, minimum, minimum. Which for those of you that I guess don't know, all right. Draft pick, every draft pick makes root league minimum. I don't know if it's every single correct. No, that's true. Is it at least it wasn't I came in Lee. And then the signing bonus is what changes. Yeah. So if
Starting point is 00:51:34 you're drafted in the first round, your salary is the same as the six round guys, the free agent came in or the free agent guy, but your signing bonus is what the what changes. So go ahead, sorry, sorry to interrupt. No, that was a good point. And I was slotted in the first pick in the third round to get 800 and something. Okay. So I ended up seeing roughly like, I think it was six, close to six, 500, 600, okay.
Starting point is 00:52:03 How's your sign about us? After taxes and everything. 500, 600, okay. How's your signing bonus? After taxes and everything. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. No, I mean, it was pretty good. It was really good. I don't have.
Starting point is 00:52:13 It's pretty different. The third round of six. The only thing I really got left to show for that money is a pair of some of my favorite shoes. Yeah. What did you spend it on first? I know you. First thing I did, I had my eyes on a pair of size 13
Starting point is 00:52:29 Nike air mag Marty McFly's the coolest shoes that I've ever seen in my life. You bought those you're rookie year. Yeah, as soon as I got my check, I immediately went online and sourced them. Well, I got a feeling the first thing you were going to buy was something clothing related or shoe related because I mean that's I mean Dude, hey, Travis got swaggy, you know, I mean Yeah, no, I am I had always one of those shoes, man I've always been a big Nike guy and then you know watching
Starting point is 00:52:59 Back to the future so many fricking times and seeing you know what the Nike's look like in the future and the fact that they were, you know, anti-gravity. Fuckin' goddamn mistakes for sweet self-tying. Oh, man. It's funny because I didn't think that was your rookie year, but somebody came up to me and told me that you had bought those shoes and I looked them up and saw how much they were. And I remember being like, what the fuck, Travis? They didn't spend that much money on shoes.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Yeah, I was like, listen, I got a lot of the, a lot of the bank arenas, I was spending for like 10 grand of some of you. Which I don't know how that guy found out you had him. He's generally posted, I don't think on social. I think he was just like big into the shoe game or something like that. And he made you know, you bought him from somebody in the
Starting point is 00:53:41 Philly area. I might, that might be what it was. I thought I got him from overseas, but I might have got some other kicks that I'm taking of. The red October. I still got those to show for it too. Those are Yeezy's, Nike's and Yeezy first. For those of you that don't know Travis has an entire bedroom.
Starting point is 00:54:00 It's got a closet. Well, yeah, yes, in your old apartment, it was a bedroom. You're right. Yeah, damn, you got a good memory. I didn't realize you had ever even seen that room. Taking my beatchos. Yeah, no, in your old, in his old one, it was a bedroom. Now the closet is just the size of a bedroom.
Starting point is 00:54:22 But I mean, boxes and shoes, I mean, that's a tall ceiling in there too. Like what it, it's like a, I don't know, 20 foot ceiling, it's probably. Yeah, my closet right now. Yeah, at least. And it's floor to ceiling, nothing but shoes. It's insane.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Have you ever done an MTV crib? No. It's like an MTV crib style. So my house is so fucking messy. There's no way. There's no I would never be able to do the MTV crib's closet addition and do your closet because it's a press. I'll show off some of my kicks. I got a bunch of I got a bunch of heat in there, man. I got some classics in there, man. One of my favorite things is just coming there and just take stuff. You just were all my so my comfy shit's going. Yeah. Damn it. Yeah, so that was my first purchase. Getting you back for taking my four to four and 15.
Starting point is 00:55:11 I'll tell you. Taking it. I mean, taking it to me. Somebody else took it. All right. What else? First thing I bought was a shoes. What else? I just I have like I said, I have nothing else to show for that first check. And I felt so fucking stupid. Um, I remember you asking me after like my second first or second year, like, Hey, what are you doing with your money? And I'm like, I'm kind of broke right now. I'm not. You didn't have a great answer. It
Starting point is 00:55:39 was kind of a, uh, uh, I'm gonna change the subject and we're not gonna talk about it. I'll tell you what, man, I, um, I didn't realize that it was, you'll, you get your, uh, you get your check, you get your sign in, but I got my sign in most before the season started. And you get your game checks every week. So after the season, you're, you're not getting paid to do until arguably August the next year. And that's yeah, I was running around. I was I was damn new dead broke. So coach Reed made a we had a kind of a veteran team. And this is this is crazy. So I'm not going to say who used to do this. But I might have done a much choice. So rookie year coach Reed comes in first year in Kansas City veteran team
Starting point is 00:56:26 weren't great the year before I'm gonna say weren't great, but some things happened with reason why they weren't great 2 and 14 season two and 14 season. Yeah, they had a stand or defense was stacked. They yeah, there's the offense was yeah, wasn't wasn't fantastic, but they they went two and 14 and Yeah, it wasn't, wasn't fantastic, but they, uh, they went two and 14 and, um, missed a playoff, unfortunately. And, uh, so every single game was at one o'clock and Coach Reed came up with this very veteran like, uh, kind of strategy to get guys, motivate guys to play even harder on Sundays that if you win on Sunday, you're off on Monday and Tuesday is already your off day. Victory Monday. So you get victory Monday, all of a sudden, you play on Sunday at one o'clock, you're out of the game by five and you don't got to show up until Wednesday at 8 a.m. That's good. That's you get Sunday night off, Monday night off,
Starting point is 00:57:17 Tuesday night off, and then you don't got to be in until. Basically, basically, you just got to run around on Wednesday. So some guys decided to start taking jets all over the place after a Sunday game and not showing up to Wednesday at 8 a.m. I didn't say that. My freaking snitch. No, I just say who? And I might have, I might have been a part of this. Snitching on him. And this is the reason why I lost all my money in my first year.
Starting point is 00:57:45 Might have went to Vegas or Florida on one of those off days and enjoyed myself. But yeah, no, the dumbest thing I ever bought my rookie money bottles in the club. That was the dumbest thing I should have never fucking did it. I, I spent way too much money in clubs and I was avoiding the rent lady because I was so stupid to agree to all those bottles. So Ricky's out there. Don't get caught up in buying bottles and sections, but I'll tell you what, it's the fastest
Starting point is 00:58:13 way to lose your money if you get caught in that world. It can add up quick. I'm good. You brought up the, I don't know if I'm glad you brought up like the the pay per game was an issue there's so much of an issue of exactly what you're saying were rookies don't realize that once the season was over you weren't getting paid this was a very big issue and that's why the league switched to now it's paid over the course of a 30s every game is paid over two weeks yeah so it gets paid out over what 34 weeks
Starting point is 00:58:46 17 times two or is it 18 times two if the bi weeks included anyways, that's why that change is because A lot of people were not realizing that those checks were gonna stop. That was one of those guys knowing all of this now Do you have any advice to new rookies? I will say this man. Once I was always against like kind of money managers or people telling me what to do with my money. So that's why I didn't just jump into a financial advisor from the jump. But after I realized that I needed someone to help me with this, I was one of the best decisions I made
Starting point is 00:59:18 was getting a financial advisor. And then you don't have to have a million dollars in the bank to get a financial advisor. You can just have however much you are making, literally however much you're making, whether you're 60,000 as you're a sign of bonus or you don't even get a sign of bonus, you're just getting game checks. Get a financial guy. Get somebody that can help structure that shit.
Starting point is 00:59:40 There's no fucking worse feeling than not being secure financially. Especially when you're making as much money as we are at this age in the league. It's pretty embarrassing actually. Definitely go out, get somebody to help you with your finances or at least help you. Line that shit up, man. I think if we're just talking from a financial perspective, which I think is what this whole section is about rookie signings and how much these guys are now entering into a world just talking from like a financial perspective, which I think is kind of what this whole section is about rookie signings and how much these guys are now entering into a world that they,
Starting point is 01:00:10 I guess some of this has changed because in college now guys are getting paid, so it's not like guys are like when we got paid, it was like, I ain't never been paid like this. I never say this money. See money like this ever. But I think, yeah, I'll echo what you said. I think that's a lot of faith to put into somebody. I think a lot of people are hesitant to seek financial advice, unfortunately, because of that, it's a vulnerable state kind of in a very important part of your life.
Starting point is 01:00:42 And it's hard to input that, and still that amount of trust with another person. 1000% I know the feeling. But I think that without question, whatever the percentages that they're getting, especially early on, it's good to have somebody who is knowledgeable about budgeting,
Starting point is 01:01:03 who's knowledgeable about investing, who is knowledgeable about investing, who's knowledgeable about the stock market, bonds, whatever it is, it's a great idea to get that person on your team. As a rookie, you'll find out you need people on your team. You're in that portion of wealth right away. And you need these people around you to one manage everything, but also to that you can get advice on. And if they're good,
Starting point is 01:01:31 they'll tell you like, Hey, we need to scale this back here. And like, this is where we should be right now. You might be different down the road. But, you know, for where you're at right now, we need to be here. And you typically have that financial guy, I would encourage everybody to get in contact with a tax professional to make sure that you are taking care of that. Because they will be on your ads.
Starting point is 01:01:53 Yeah, those are the two big ones. Those are the two big ones from a financial perspective that you need to get figured out very quickly and get in contact with your your local or your teams Play your development person or other veteran guys to figure out Which people are right for you. That's kind of my advice. Well, say if you don't have if you already don't have people Ready to go. I said it was. I'll say it again. Best decision I've ever made man It's an important person to have for anybody. And they'll save you money.
Starting point is 01:02:27 They're going to end up making you money. Uh, and yeah, next thing we got to talk about is the ocean drive. Coming to the OD, baby, kind of teased it, um, on Twitter, somebody asked about, Hey, maybe you guys should do a show down at the Jersey Shore. All right. I mean, I guess we will. I have an annual event with Eagles Autism Foundation that we put on at the Ocean Drive. The Ocean Drive is a bar in CIO, New Jersey, that has been willing and able and has donated money to EAF.
Starting point is 01:03:03 Each and every year we've done it. This will be the third year. And it's just a great event. A lot of people show up, Travis was kind enough to come last year. It's so much fun, man. And everybody's just ready to have fun. We're drinking, we're raising money for a good cause.
Starting point is 01:03:16 And that's the name of the game. This year, we're gonna do something a little bit different at the event. The guess bartending portion is still gonna start later in the day, but Trav has to be out a little bit early. So we're going to do, guys, I won't be able to serve some drinks to you guys, but I'll have some in the morning with you. We're going to do a new Heights show on the scene in the OD that morning. And at the show,
Starting point is 01:03:42 we are going to have our first fan competition. Oh That's right. I'm announcing it right now We are going to do the first ever new heights Beer bowl the beer bowl It's a competition involving beer. Yes, We are going to compile a 16 team tournament, single elimination, so it'll be one event per round. So you get one shot, baby. This NFL style, baby.
Starting point is 01:04:16 The teams will be two people, and we're gonna start compiling this list now. So if you're gonna be in the New Jersey area on June 28th and think that you should be in the competition, we need you to send us your team name, a video of why you think you are qualified to be in the beer bowl. This is going to be so good. Your partner, you and your partner's name is obviously your team name, your team theme. Because we wanted this to be done right. And you will be accepted based on one, your quality of drinking skills displayed in your video,
Starting point is 01:04:52 to your creativity of your team name and theme. And that's pretty much it. Yeah, and please be 21. You have to be 21 to enter. Yeah, we're going to be drinking alcohol, so good point. Please submit that to either at new heights show on Twitter and Instagram, all that stuff with one S or email us at new heights show at gmail.com. Dude, are we in this? Or this is fans only? We're going to be hosting the show. We're going to be doing play by playing
Starting point is 01:05:19 out. So this is why. Oh, all right. Right. I don't know. But I mean, I think maybe there's a place where we do some type of competition with the winner of Beer Bowl. I think that kind of makes sense. I think I have to get involved. You know, I'm just, I love to compete anyway. I can figure that out. We'll figure that out.
Starting point is 01:05:34 We'll love to. The winner of the Beer Bowl will receive the first ever new Hyde's trophy. Woo! I can't wait for you guys to see this fucking trophy. If you think the Stanley Cup is sweet and you think the Larry O'Brien suite or you think the Visteland party suite the Visteland party is pretty sweet, way till you see the new heights. I'm just gonna call it the trophy right now. Are we telling what it is yet? We still need to have a design. We know what
Starting point is 01:05:58 it's gonna be. We're gonna wait to disclose, but I will tell you this. It's not gonna just be a plastic trophy. We're making a legit trophy. I don't know if we're going to be able to see it. I think we both feel it should be solid gold. Right under with solid. Yes, very solid. So it's going to be, there's going to be some money in this.
Starting point is 01:06:16 The winner is going to get a pretty high, I don't want to save the dollar amount yet because we don't know how much the trophy is going to cost. We'll really set it at a later date. But I'm glad you brought up the Stanley Cup Travis. Why is that? Because Larry was kind enough to visit last week and I got to put this head on. I feel like I got to be flyered up for this one. This week we got another trophy in the house. Shut the fuck up. That's why you're wearing the goddamn it. I mean, it might be, it might be because your waist goes. Listen, we can't trust you with trophies
Starting point is 01:06:45 you're fucking ridiculous ladies and gentlemen i hope you're ready we are about to present to you the trophy that we both rated as the number one trophy in all of sports it's what we idolized growing up in cleavant o'hio playing hockey we all wanted to hoist this at one time or another. Never in my wildest dreams that I think it would be in my day. Ridiculous dude. Travis get ready. I present to you the Stanley! Haha! Look at that! This is so ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:07:20 Oh my god. Lord Stanley! Lord Stanley is in the house. And I gotta say, it's even more glorious in person than you could ever imagine. Take name it. You can't even picture. Dude. It's, you gotta be here in person. We're gonna talk about it.
Starting point is 01:07:35 We gotta be here. We got my man Mike. Here is. As everyone knows, there is a crew that is always with. Unbelievable. There's a crew that is always with the Stanley Cup at all times to ensure the no shenanigans happen on witness.
Starting point is 01:07:51 So we got my man Mike here with, is this is all because I slammed a replica? I don't get to experience any of this. This is ridiculous, man. You're in Kansas City, Travis. These trophies live on where the people live. That's a low blow, man. Are you officially with the National Hockey Hall of Fame? Yeah, I worked for the hockey hall of fame in Toronto.
Starting point is 01:08:14 Yes, and I've been the keeper of the cup for the last 24 years. Okay, the cup. That's a great title, man. That is a great title. Second best job. If you can't play in the NHL, you might as well look after the championship trophies. There we go. So can you can't play in the NHL, you might as well look after the championship trophies. There we go. So can you tell me, what are the rules right now that we are embarking on? What can I and can't I do?
Starting point is 01:08:33 So the rule is Jason, you can put your arms around it, you can hug it, you can kiss it. If you feel the need to lift it, you have to go win it. I can hug this. You can hug it. I can kiss it right now.
Starting point is 01:08:43 Give it a hug. Yeah, my God. Give it a big hug with your flyers jersey on. This is fun. Is it lucky to wear a flyers jersey? Keep your dirty fingerprints. That's why I wear the white gloves. That's what I'm saying. No, put those fingerprints on there. Oh my God. I can get it. Show off. What. What do you guys have here somewhere? I got a five. I know right. Flyers are up there.
Starting point is 01:09:08 74 right? Yeah. Right here. Right here. Right here. There we go. Older back today. Can we drink out of it?
Starting point is 01:09:20 Like me. You got to have a winner to drink out of it. Like me. Yeah. I'm so excited. We had, we did a thing with Eli Manning last week and he had to get Brad Richards who won the cup with Tampa Bay in 04, Brad and him or friends. So Brad came in and poured a beer in it and let Eli drink out of it. So he should have had to stand like a champion.
Starting point is 01:09:38 He was going to have to beer out of it. But next time, next time, so those that you can only drink out of it if you've won it before, you have to have a guy that holds it who is one it's a great you would drink out of the cup got you can't just put a beer or drink in it for yourself oh wow guys eat out of it too like love cereal in the morning maybe otherwise cream Sunday in the afternoon a few adult beverages in the evening you're telling me guys that have won it in like the 70s they see it and they're like yeah I'm gonna take a chunk out of there oh yeah like they can still take it
Starting point is 01:10:04 once you win it You're lifetime privilege. That's so cool. See we don't have anything cool like this Why can't the NFL implement anything like this with the Lamarity like what so what is the Roots or each player gets that wins it in that year gets to spend an entire day with it or yeah No, it's yeah, yeah, what's guys get a day. Okay, it's wherever you live in the world or wherever you want to bring it. Oh my gosh. And so on any given summer, we're literally around the world.
Starting point is 01:10:31 Cup's been to 34 countries in total. And we're literally coast to coast in the United States, coast to coast in Canada, and then over in Europe, most of the Eastern block countries. But yeah, we could do five, seven countries per summer. What was the routiest place you've been to while with the cup? Like like you were like in your head, you're like, man, I'm the keeper of the cup. I might lose this thing.
Starting point is 01:10:54 There's a few incidents that things to kind of mind. Rush to the first time I went there, that was pretty wild. The amount of fans that showed up and just, you know, tens of thousands of people coming out. That makes sense. I remember one time in Colorado. We were it was the old one Colorado avalanche and we were with Chris Dingman, Stefan Yel and actually I think just myself and Stefan's fiance because everybody else had gone home and we were going for one last drink and we decided to go to this other bar and when we got
Starting point is 01:11:24 down stairs to go across the street, well, all the bars let out. And it was, it was a gong show. Yeah. Yeah. And then you're bigger like, let's see guys like Jason and Chris Damon's got the couple. I got the back of a shirt and I'm pushing on it. I had it all the other and his fiance behind. And the cops found us and grabbed us and help us get into the bar from the crazy crowd because the fans were just Reaking out that we're on the street with a calm. Yeah, and they pulled this into this bar to give us shelter and let the crowds disperse And I had to send the police out to go find Yeller. That's amazing. That's amazing. That's nuts. What's the history behind Lord Stanley?
Starting point is 01:11:57 So the cut the Stanley Cup is 130 years old dates back to 1893 As we were looking at it earlier inside the bowl 1907 was the very first time they ever put players names on it. 1915 is also in the bowl, and then it started to grow from there, and into a cylinder of stove pipe like. It was stove pipe like up until 1947,
Starting point is 01:12:17 and then they created this shape with the 5-tier format, down here in the bottom is where this year's winner is gonna go, and they'll be on the cup for 60 years before they eventually come up and on the cup for 60 years before they eventually come up and off the cup every 13 years we take the top ring off, retired it into the Hall of Fame and then put a new ring on the bottom. So 52 years is the shortest and 65 years as long as you can be on Lord Stanley. Holy cow. It's pretty dang cool man. When the band comes off the cup it actually gets mounted in the Hakello fam in Toronto.
Starting point is 01:12:42 How many bands are off the cup then? Yeah, three different bands are off the cup. 1927 to 1966. Jason, just do the math man. It's right there in your face. Listen, I was gonna be able to do that that quick. Yeah, but yeah. That's hard, man.
Starting point is 01:12:54 Not this hard. Six to six. We were saying this earlier before we got on, but in Colorado when they I chronically won it, who dropped it? I can't remember. We won't yeah. Yeah, it was dropped. Whatever. Yeah, I got out of bad. I don't know whatever you thought. He kind of looked like he slid into the photo.
Starting point is 01:13:15 Like they're going to take the photo without him and the Stanley Cup. Yeah, maybe without him, but the Stanley Cup is definitely going to be in the photo without it. So, uh, So if there is a debt or it's damaged, what is the procedure? Like is it fixed? That's see where you're going with it. Yeah. I mean, it was, yeah, it was one of those things where my boss and I were on the ice
Starting point is 01:13:32 when it happened. It was the F bomb came out. And we, you know, we, the next morning we flew back to Colorado from Tampa. We let the guys go off the plane with it hoist it, but we wouldn't let him go near the media. And then we said, all right, boys, we got to take this from you for a few hours, and we took it down to the rink and worked with the trainers to get it all fixed. And then we went to the party that night. All right, now. How many times has it been, David? It's a trophy that doesn't hide behind glass. So, accidents are going to happen. I like that. I like the mentality. Right? I mean,
Starting point is 01:14:01 we try and prevent it as best we can. As I mentioned, it's 130 years old. I want to see it around for another 130. So we do our best. We're not duct tape to the thing, but we do our best to try and keep it safe. Fair game. What is the craziest thing that's ever gone in the cup? They you're allowed to share.
Starting point is 01:14:15 Oh, I'm not sure. Anything. Jesus, I don't know. Everything from ice cream, jello, sushi, poutine, spaghetti and meatballs. I mean, margaritas, whiskey, beer, chocolate milk, apple juice, chocolate milk, chicken wings. Somebody toss some chicken wings in there?
Starting point is 01:14:36 Yep, oh yeah. That's pretty fucking good. I'm also a professional dishwasher. Okay, nice. I just think it's such a special trophy. And the trophy itself is gorgeous, but it's all that other stuff. It's the engagement with it.
Starting point is 01:14:50 It's what it represents. It gets to be celebrated in your hometown community and all the people that help that guy get there. That's exactly. I think that's what you're saying, Jason. I think it'd be great to see the NFL and even other leagues when you're champion-ship that you get the trophy for the day and share with your family and friends and and then the team gets it back I mean you guys all get to keep your trophy. It goes into the stadium and everything like that
Starting point is 01:15:12 Yeah, I mean when we finished up with the avalanche that's it go at win it again I mean they'll get a little miniature replica for their their display case But they don't get something like this in the display case. Yeah, yeah So each guy gets a miniature replica Stanley Cup trophy trophy too. I guess we didn't mention that. Hey, name it. Have you ever seen somebody spike their miniature replica? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no fucking way. Dude, it was, it was, it might have well been a piece of cake that I spiked on the freaking ground. My replica was not given to me by the NFL. You're fucking ridiculous. You know what, I actually, I'm just ridiculous. I would never spike in my ring.
Starting point is 01:15:48 I'm just gonna have your back here, maybe. I mean, jail, why don't you? Can I do a leave of fun? I had a guy, yeah, his kids playing when he had his cup, the big stand that kept the real one here. And he had his miniatures, he'd won a couple of times and his kid dropped the little miniature replica. And there made of silver too and the bowl broke off and I'm like I'm pretty chill about it and you know I just what it is. I was gonna ask you those miniature ones
Starting point is 01:16:13 like how big is the bowl though is it could have fit like a whole beer in there or what. I've seen guys flip stuff out of it I don't know if it probably maybe a half a beer but I've seen guys carrying it around and just drinking it. Yeah just drinking out of it. Beer your all-time shot glass. Exactly. It holds about maybe three or four shots in it. That right now. This by the way, you want to take a guess how many regular cans of beer this holds? Yeah, I could do that. Let's say I think a nice 12 pack. 12 pack here. I'm going to tip it down for you, Travis. We can maybe have a little better look, but there's my fist for gauge. I'm not to get your hands You feel the pause out of there. I just want to see you're going with 12. What are you gonna go with?
Starting point is 01:16:52 I might that might be a 24 rack to this bay. That's kind of deep. Can I just go over? Can I go over? You didn't say whatever number you want. What? This guy's a wiener. You kidded me. You know, you know over 12 I would go over 12. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say 24, 24. Well, it's 17 exactly. I was gonna go 18 before I said that day. That's what you get for steal if my second guess. That's 17 cold beers. Now again, that's a bit of a, you know, to me, when you have 17 in there, about 17 or about 15 in a mothala it because it's so heavy, it's just lost. I'm not just a waste. I'm a waste here, at least a candidate. It's not a beer, man. That's a lot of beers. Oh, man. I'm so freaking jealous right now. This is ridiculous.
Starting point is 01:17:34 Travis, what are you? Can you confirm or deny your involvement in bringing a NHL team to Kansas City? I'm confirmed. I'm not in and on anything, but I am confirmed and I'm very pro bringing hockey to Kansas City. Ooh. I haven't talked to like a mayor or Pat my homes or anything, what are you saying? Yeah. But I'm pretty sure everybody's on board
Starting point is 01:17:58 with getting a Casey a hockey team. I mean, a sports town like this, an exciting game like hockey. And I guess all the expansion teams are immediately Stanley Cup like champions or like they go to the playoffs for a second year. I think that would be electric for Kansas Cityans, man. And I think the KC would show out for these guys for sure.
Starting point is 01:18:19 So NHL, if you're looking for a new home team, home base, like the middle of the country is the way to do it, baby. Hi, Travis of all the teams left in the hot for this year Stanley Cup, who you've taken? Oh, I'll tell you what, the Panthers are pretty fun to watch right now, man. Panthers? Okay.
Starting point is 01:18:36 I'm gonna say Panthers, man. I think Panthers got the juice right now. I'm taking the, I don't know. I just like watching a man, they're exciting, exciting team.

Starting point is 01:21:20 Why, why in the heck is there not something like this with a Lamarity trophy? Because it's there Because it's there. Even if he don't put the, yeah, but I still think I think the idea of players being able to take it to the whole town. They don't do it in all the other ladies. It'd be one thing if it was in like every league like that's what you got, but it's not. But it's totally, all the elite should do that. It's a great tradition. Let the NHL have it. They figured it out. They figured that one out. They got the, they get the NHL have it. They figured it out. They figured
Starting point is 01:21:45 that one out. They got the they get the points for that one. I think the Lombardi is as legendary as it needs to be, man. I still fucking wanted another one.
