No doubt. A matchup that I don't even know if the, I don't know how much history is between these two schools, but I I've never seen these two go out and play. Yeah These two teams play so this is gonna be big and I mean obviously busting with the boys will Compton Nebraska Kern Husker did he reach out to you because he reached out to me and he's and he's fired up about it Tell me how can you not be fired up? Yeah out to me and he's fired up about it. I mean, how can you not be fired up, dude?

Yeah, get out of the little content. It was like right away. It was the moment it was announced. Big 12 football, baby, in GEHA Arrowhead Stadium. Yeah, G-Hi! G-Hi! Thursday, August 12th. You see we'll open the 2025 season versus the Cornhuskers, so it's going to be a fun

one. The first game of the year, got to love it. Are we going? If I can make it, I'm there. Typically Sunday games, we play Sunday games. Saturdays are a pretty busy day for us. But I mean, it is right there. Yeah. If I can get over there at Arrowhead, I guarantee you I will be there. Yeah, I got nothing else going on, so I'll be there.

I love it. The Bearcats are playing Mini Mahomes. Dude, look at this guy. His dad played there as well. I forget his actual name. Time out. This guy that looks like Mahomes is Riola, the old like center for the Lions son. Son. I'm pretty sure that's why he went to Nebraska because his father went there. Dominic Riola. Yeah. Wow, that's pretty cool. Did not know that. He looks nothing like Dominic. Can we put a photo of Dominic? Show show show right older for the Lions. This guy used to be just a pitbull. Look at that

Look at this that has a fucking football chip off the old block Yes, he kind of does look like him I thought he's got a little bit for sure. Yeah, sure I think I I think I saw Dylan at a Chiefs game not too long ago on the sidelines. Can't miss him. Can't miss him. Big dude, man. Big dude. You can see why he's got the size like Pat does to play the quarterback position. Dylan and Pat, I believe, had the same quarterback coach in the offseason there, their non-team quarterback coach, Jeff Christiansen. Shout out to the Christiansen family.

Jacob, his son is a good friend of mine as well. And they play the game very, very similarly. Obviously 15, the hair, some of the antics are the same, but Dylan's got all the tools, man. He's legit. And the Bearcats are going to have their hands full first game of the year next year. In more Ohio news, we have the Ohio State anti-flag planting law officially put into effect. Ohio State Representative Josh Williams introduced the OHIO Sportsmanship Act on Tuesday in an attempt to curb flag planting attempts or also an attempt to be petty as fuck.

The bill would prohibit planting a flagpole and flag in the center of the Ohio State football field on the day of a college football game. And to name this act, the O.H.I.O. Sportsmanship Act. I don't like it. I had so much. I had so much like that. I just when I think of Ohio State Buckeyes, I think it just toughness, man. Yeah, I think it just just and I just don't think this is a toughness type move right I just you know I can't you want to have sportsmanship you want to have all that but I don't want

to shit on anybody it is for the NCAA to determine not an Ohio State representative you get the fuck out of here Josh you're gonna arrest him what is that what you're saying you're It is for the NCAA to determine not an Ohio State representative. You got to do your job. You still arrest him. What is that? What you're saying? You're going to arrest the guy. It's all just posturing and it's just petty. And I don't like it. I don't think it's cool. I think it's stupid.

Some of the best parts about the rivalries are when dumb things happen like this. Obviously, it was way over the top and there was full on fistfights and tear gas. And other fights. Somebody got in trouble. And this, you know, antagonizes that. But not a favor of it. At the same time, this is just it's it's doing a lot. It's doing a lot. But shout out to the Buckeyes.

Shout out to the Wolverines. Shout out to Jason Navada, saved the flag from hitting the ground or got it back. That's what it was. He got it back. Got it back. That's right. No, I don't know man. And last piece of new news, we got a Bill Murray and myself golf video that just went out on YouTube. That's right. J. All right, Jens, singles matches. Jason, you're playing Bill. J. All right. No injuries. J. Yes, that's the goal.

J. Well, this is a club where they never lose a ball. Oh no. Awesome time. So fun. Bill was, I mean just what you would think funny as hell and a great time. He's got a smooth swing. Yeah, baby. You? So, not so much.

We gotta loosen that thing up, man. We gotta unwind you just a little bit, man. I'm not, we gotta unwind me? Am I wound up? That thing looks tense. You just look tense out there, man. If you guys want to check that out, you can go to, I think it's like, I don't even know what that freaking thing's called. YouTube slash Jason Kelsey slash.

At Jason Kelsey on YouTube. There you go. You'll find it. I think that's my shameless plug for the day. Nice. That's it for new news brought to you by Seeky. Let's start some of these bold topics. Bold topics is brought to you by American Express. That's right. Don't leave home without it. Let's get a little Chiefs recap in. Chiefs 27, Browns 7. Trav, what was it like to be

back in the land? Dude, I just love that city, man. Yeah, man. It was so fun. I felt like a tour guide. Something about being back here by that lake. When we flew in, I felt like a tour guide just telling everybody every single city that we were going past. Yeah, every monument, every building. Oh, that's where my mom worked, right there, the big one, the Key Bank, the tallest one.

I don't know if you saw it, it's the biggest building in the city. What else? Oh my God, everything from just flying into the city, seeing the skyline. I just, I have such a love for, an appreciation for how we grew up and the fun that we had and all the people that we

knew that helped mold me and have the values that I have today. A lot of them were at the game, man. I knew they were at the game. It felt awesome, whether it was my friends being there, my friends' parents being there, my childhood friends' kids now watching me. I was a little kid watching the Browns and it's just, it's so crazy to drive to the stadium. I had crazy flashbacks of going to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is right there on the same block as well as the Science Center. The Science Center was, we went there on like field trips to both of those places as kids, you know,

school field trips and silly memories like going to the cafeteria at the Science Center and spitting spitballs at like random people and getting in trouble for it as a kid. It's just being just reckless and like getting in trouble with my friends and the memories and all that silly stuff was just like going in and out of my friends and the memories and all that silly stuff was just going in and out of my mind. It felt so surreal. I don't know if it's the last time I'll ever play in Cleveland, but it felt like I was giving it one last hoorah before I'm done because I've only played there twice in 12

years. Unless we get thrown on there in the next couple, I don't really it ever happening again, and it was just a special day for me personally man so shout out to everybody from the Heights and everybody from the from Cleveland that showed up for me and Has always supported me in life not just since I've been in the league It was a great game for the Chiefs you guys on defense Chiefs defense has been lights out all season long they forced forced six turnovers, including three interceptions against Winston Trent McDuffie. He just got his first career INT. He's been so good for the last couple of years and he's just getting his first INT.

Is that true? It's pretty crazy. Yeah. And it came off of a play where he was staring at the jumbotron before, before the, as the ball was being thrown. Talking about as the ball was being thrown, he was looking at the jumbotron? Yeah, sometimes. Do they teach that? I don't know if they teach that, but he's a savvy football player. I've heard you like look at the jumbotron like while you're running to like the end

zone, like you're out in the open, see where people are at. I've heard people doing that. I've never heard of this. What? Yeah, play the clip, Brandon. Is for whatever reason, I somehow glanced up at the jumbotron because it was a scramble drill and just saw him launch it. And I was like, that's the my size.

Shut up. Are you kidding me? Like the big the big screen. You can see his eyes go up to run into the end zone straight ahead. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I see him launch it. That's crazy. And the jumbot ahead. Uh huh. Uh huh. Let's see them launch it. That's crazy. And the jumbotron is a little delayed too.

So for him to like turn his head around and find the ball, you know, and that it's not like the, yeah, it's crazy. It's a crazy thing. And, uh, talking to Trent about it, man, I'm just happy as hell for him, man. The guy has been one of the best cornerbacks in the league since he's gotten the league, since he was drafted here. He doesn't necessarily have the interceptions to prove it, but he has the play to prove it and he's helped us, you know, win the win two Super Bowls in a

row, man, and is one of our best players on defense and it kind of goes, I don't know, unnoticed a little bit because the interceptions just weren't there, man, but it's good to see him get his first, man. What do you think about, yeah, first of all, congrats to Mcduffie getting his first interception What did it feel like offensively? You know, I felt like you guys got into a little bit more of a rhythm You know still probably not as good as you would want to be I mean dude, first of all before we go even any further shout out to Joe Tooney big tell you Fucking kidding me big dude. This dude Just an Ohio football guy. You know what I'm saying?

Going back to his old home state. People have no idea. This dude left guard, slid out, and just went up against the best player in the NFL over the last decade. Like no big deal. And like did a good job. Like don't get me wrong,

Miles got him a couple times. There definitely chipping him a little bit. I mean this fucking Miles Garrett. He's gonna get anybody a few times. But he went out there and blocked his ass off. That was awesome. Holy cow, that was great. He's a staple for this team, man. It killed us that he wasn't able to went out there and blocked his ass off. That was awesome. Holy cow, that was great. He's a staple for this team, man.

It killed us that he wasn't able to come out there in the Super Bowl last year knowing he got, I think he tore his pec before the Super Bowl last year. But yeah, he's such a pleasure to have on the team because he's such a fucking team guy. So unselfish. One of the toughest guys that I've ever been around. Yep. Um, I think he's got a crazy stat going right now that I don't want to jinx, but yeah, let's not, let's not, let's not, but it's, uh, it's, it's just, um, he's,

he's always been that guy that can just fill in whatever you need. Or he's, he can play center. You can play guard. He can play tackle and obviously guard is his best position, but I mean, to be able to maneuver or move around and, you know, be wherever the team needs him to be and going up against the best in the league, you know, that's a huge task, man. It could be more proud of the guy, man.

What did you think of the offense as a whole? We're rolling, man. We're putting up touchdowns. I think I think we, you know, we got in the red zone before half and didn't come away with any points. But outside of that, man, there's a few just, we're off just a tick on a few of those drives. It's not far off. It's all correctable stuff.

It's all depth and routes. It's all timing. It's all hand placement and blocking and in the run game and identifying the defense and where everybody's going. It's all fixable stuff, but don't get me wrong, the Browns and Schwartz. Jim Schwartz. Schwartz did an unbelievable job of making shit tricky. He's a very good coach, yeah.

He does a great job of making things tricky. He kind of specified that game plan against a lot of the stuff that we like to do. Played heavy outside leverage with a lot of the man coverage with with, you know, help inside. And that forces us to go outside with the ball a lot. And you know, I think I think that's where that's where that game this Browns game really helped us improve

because we gained a lot of confidence going outside the the numbers there with D hop and Xavier and it's gonna be even more fun getting my guy Hollywood brown back Once you get back this week. He's back, baby No, he's gonna be back that fast. Oh, yeah, he's back He's here. We're gonna get him nice prime depth for the for the big dance. Love that yeah, I think that was a it was a great game for that. Obviously, Pat and Noah have been hitting on all cylinders all year and Pop, Isaiah Pacheco's running downhill, the two headed monster we got really three headed monster we got with him, Kareem Hunt and Samaj P. Ryan, I mean, getting them pistons going. I'm excited to keep growing. I'm a big fan of all three of those guys. And I'll tell you like, I like Pop, right? Kareem played a huge role when those guys got hurt.

I don't know, I love P-Rod and the way he plays. He's just smart, dude. Dude, P-Rod, dude, he's been such a pleasure. He's smart, I like, like he just seems like an awesome dude to have in the locker room. Dude, he's the best man, the absolute best. He's been the, I got you guy, whatever you need, coaches, players, whatever you need. Third down you can't you can't you can't talk?

I mean Kenny game we're gonna get to the Chiefs or the Eagles in a second But some other people makes a lot of plays and does a lot of unnoticed Work on that third down. Well speaking of unnoticed before we get too far since we're giving everybody shout outs We gave a big toonia shot because he moved tackle, but somebody had to fill that left guard spot at Mike Kelly and Oh, stepped up. Mike Kelly. Yeah. He's Kelly and Oh, Kelly and Oh, uh, stepped up in the, I mean, it's, it's,

he's another one of those guys just as always ready. He's just, he's hanging around waiting for his opportunity and, uh, couldn't be happier for him to have such a good game. Uh, his first, his first game back in there. And I'll do this. I do want to touch a little bit. So the reason, I guess sliding out the tackle is so hard for Tooney.

It's such a different technique. It's more space. It's a different kick set. You're getting to a different spot. A lot of pass setting is getting to the right position between the quarterback, the defender. Getting there requires a lot of reps usually to feel where that proper positioning is. Now, I think Trudy played tackle in college, if I'm not mistaken. So he's done it before, but to go out there mid-season like that and to play the way he did, I I thought was just so impressive and then he's going in with a new guy playing next to him in Caliendo. Like, there are a

lot of moving pieces there and I thought Pat looked, I mean, outside of the injury that we're going to talk about in a second with his little ankle, his weak ankles. I love you Pat, you have the weak ankles. He's got the, he looked to be the most comfortable, which is not usually the case against a Jim Schwartz style defense and Miles Garrett. You know, I think that there's been a lot of pressure on that left side in particular and throughout the season and it felt like he felt really confident in the protection this past week, which was great to see. Let's talk about the injury.

We did unfortunately see Pat Mahomes get rolled up on late in the game, diagnosed with a mild high ankle sprain following the tests. Still considered week to week. Are we going to see a Carson Wensylvania Christmas? Wensylvania? Wensylvania? Back in PA? Wensylcity? Yeah. I don't know what's going to happen for Christmas, but I know this weekend, I'm pretty sure... Pat's been taking all the reps this weekend.

But what we do know is that Carson is prepped and ready and ready to rock and roll like he always is. One of the pros, pro as they say it in the league, man, just the guy takes his job very serious and is always ready for the opportunity if it presents itself. But we all know Pat is one of the toughest guys in the league. He's gonna play through anything and everything that he possibly can, all while making sure

that the team's best interest is there. Yeah, and obviously I'm joking with Pat about the weak angles or whatnot, but he's just spraying those things so much at this point that I feel like it's a mild high ankle. He's going to tape it up. He's going to be just fine. And if you think it's going to be that difference, all you got to do is watch the playoffs where he ended up winning a Super Bowl against yours truly. That ankle worked just fine. A lot of people are talking a big talk about it and there's going to be times where he's probably gonna pull up lame and it's gonna hurt but I gotta believe that you know this thing's gonna be all right. We're playing meaningful football games right now so I know Pat wants to

be out there for his teammates and his coaches more than anybody man he's always been that guy so but it was cool to see Carson get in there get his get his feet wet a little bit and spin it spin the, get us a big first down late in the game. And yeah, it was funny, man. You don't realize how much hearing a cadence from another quarterback is such a big deal, man. The timing. I used to hate it. The first thing you got to do when a backup quarterback is going in, you have to bring them to the bench where all the offensive linemen are at and listen to it. Otherwise somebody's going to get a false start.

Somebody is going to get a false start. It happened twice. We went just a regular cadence on the first one and somebody jumped and then finally we went on a hard cadence and I'm not gonna lie, he almost got me three times in a row. Yeah, he's got a hard cadence now. He's got a good cadence. He's gonna bop that thing out.

He's got some good frequency when he comes out. I almost prefer when backup quarterbacks win in, let's just go on silent cadence. Silent cadence. Like we're more used to it, let's avoid this issue altogether. It's so awkward going into another cadence and the timing of it.

Yeah. Anyways, it can be useful though. But yeah, that was, it was fun here. And I told him, I was like, dude, you got a hell of a fucking cadence. I didn't realize it till we're in live bullets. And you know what I mean? You got to fucking get off the ball. I was like, it's some good shit though.

It was any, you know, it's an honor to fucking get into a huddle with a guy that's, you know, taking snaps, had his hands under your ass. It's fun. Marshall. Oh, there you go. Speaking of next week, or the Chiefs are gonna be playing the Texans on Saturday. That's right. Little day early game. Now that the college season has slowed down, we've gone to these Saturday games. In the middle of playing three games in 11 days, including a Netflix Christmas Day game. Yeah, what is this like, man? How are you guys feeling about a Saturday and then a Christmas Day game?

How does this feel? I'm excited, man. I'm excited. You know, the body's not as excited to get out there and try and run around to get the game plan together during practice, but I'll play whenever, man. I'll play whenever, wherever. I don't get, I just know that I'm so fortunate to be able to play whenever man. I'll play whenever wherever I don't get I just know that I'm so fortunate to be able to play this game that I'm gonna cherish every time I get to play on the on the field

So I'm not gonna harp on the schedule that that was given to us Especially this late in the season It's kind of seems crazy and it feels crazy and it feels like it's a it's a challenge set by the NFL to be able to You know Feels like it's a it's a challenge set by the NFL to be able to you know finishes the one seed and knowing that you know, we have one two in a row, but I think I accept that challenge man I think it's gonna you know, make it make it feel that much better if we can get out of this get out of this little three game stretch with three wins and Makes us feel a little bit more confident that you know, we can we can get after it against some of the best teams in the AFC week to week to week, and especially some of the best defenses.

Yeah. Best luck to you guys. I can't wait to watch it this week. Texas are playing a little bit better right now. Stroud and those guys seem to be rolling. Nico Collins, is he healthy again? He's healthy, right? Back in doing his thing. So yeah, it'll be a good one. In arrowhead, this is a big one. You guys win this one, you know, you might be getting two bye weeks coming up. I don't want to get ahead of ourselves. Don't get ahead of ourselves. I don't know if there will ever be two bye. Oh, I get you.

Yeah, don't have to play the last game. And yeah, I got you. That's a little motivation. It's a little motivation. We control our destiny, man. We know if we finish the season off strong, we can get some time to get healthy or at least get our bodies back to get home field advantage. Yeah, get some home field advantage.

I love playing at Arrowhead, baby. Play off games at Arrowhead. It's become my favorite. It's so quiet. It's so peaceful, isn't it? And it just it makes you feel at home. It really does. Chief Cadener really just knows how to how to do it

Let's hit more of the biggest stories from week 15 in the NFL before we move on to a brand new segment. Ooh, brand new segment. I don't even know what this segment is. Who's even designing this? Me neither. It's so much fun not knowing anything.

That's when you know, like when intern Brandon has something cool lined up, I get excited. All right, fire us up, bud. Eagles, 27, Steelers, 13. Jason, initial thoughts on the old PA rivalry. How aggressive do I want to be? Do it. This was huge. I mean, Steelers, one of the best defenses in the league, one of the best teams in the league. Eagles, obviously, there was a lot of noise this week on the press conferences last week from Jalen Hertz, from A.J. Brown, more notably, from a man Brandon Graham, a lot of stuff swirling around and most of it centered around the passing game. Actually, all of it centered around the passing game.

I think that this team over the course of the season has turned into this control the line of scrimmage, very physical run game. Saquon Barkley is obviously having a career year, potentially historic year. The defense, oh my gosh, has just been playing lights out really ever since Tampa Bay. They've been one of the best defenses in the NFL. Up front in the back end, their linebackers are playing better than I've seen potentially ever by an Eagles couple linebackers in the Kobe Dean and Zach Vaughn. The one question mark was what has happened to the

passing attack? We have AJ Brown, we have Devonte Smith, and we have a franchise quarterback in Jalen Hurts. Why is this not happening? There are some press conferences that leaked out, people clearly frustrated, and they come out and they answer the freaking bell. Pete Oh, yeah, we can do that too. Jeff They answer the bell against a great team that they were going to have to throw the ball. As good as this run game is, Cam Heyward, Mike Tomlin, this front, this Pittsburgh Steelers defense, they're not going to let you be one dimensional and beat them. And I just thought it was like, dude, this is the sign that this team is a

complete team. If they need to do it continually now now. Now, I kind of do, we'll talk about this in a second, but they showed that they can do this. Right? They got great teams. Yeah. They still got a great run game. And if Jaylen is going to play like this, deliver the ball to AJ Brown, Devontae Smith had a big game. Yeah, both over 100 yards. Yeah. I just feel like this was such an awesome game if you're an Eagles fan and

I think I'm probably not alone in saying that. I think a lot of Eagles fans feel that way. So yeah, very happy. Do the birds have a 2017 vibe going on right now? I mean, barring, you know, some crazy things happening. They've still, Minnesota right now is peaking. They looked great on Monday night. Sam Darnold lights out.

Yes he did. You know, Brian Flores is doing some outstanding things on defense. But I do think this Eagles team, it's about as complete as you can get. I mean, you go down the roster. These guys are playing lights out. They have great players.

They have great coaches. Yeah. I don't, let me put it this way. I don't think there's a team in the league that they aren't competing with them or beating a good majority of the time when they play them. I don't think there's a team in the league that they aren't competing with or beating a good majority of the time when they play. I just feel that way right now.

I think that they are up there. I think this is a great year. Gotta stay healthy. I always gotta hope that is the case, but I'm confident if I'm a Philadelphia Eagle. Very confident. The Eagles ice the game on a drive that was 21 fucking plays. A good old long drive drill with 88 yards

and uh and took 10 minutes and 30 seconds off the clock. The longest drive in modern record football books uh belongs to the Tennessee Oilers. 25 plays in 13 minutes and ended with a 19 yard field goal. Ew. Yeah. Oh, that's daggering for both teams. That's fucking daggering. No, that's pretty fucking impressive. And shout out to the Byrds, man. They're freaking flying

around. A big time win against the Steelers. They're rolling. And like you said, kind of shut all the critics up about the old pass game. I used to not be a fan when you know guys would say things in the media that would create controversy or stir up things. It kind of just a lot of times could be you know divert attention. Well when it doesn't pan out for them in the end. Well this is well yeah if it wouldn't have panned out it's terrible right like it's bad. It goes the other way. What all these guys did by talking about it openly in the media is force them all to take ownership and fixing it. And not just them, the coaches, everybody. I mean, they were all hard at work with what was going on in the media, because they knew they all had to go out and have the game that they did against Pittsburgh.

And they ended up like answering it in just a magnificent fashion. I mean, they all played so well. Yeah. Jalen was on time. AJ was a man on a mission. Devante was making plays. It was just, it was very fun to watch. When stuff like this comes out, it tends to either galvanize you and bring you closer or it can kind of tear you apart and separate you. They clearly had the latter. They clearly were galvanized by this situation this week. So,

you know, hats off to all those guys and the coaches and everybody from this past week. And yeah. That's what I'm talking about. I'm proud of those guys for sure. Well, next week, the Eagles got the commies, got the commanders over there in Washington and the Eagles can clinch the NFC East with a win, which is the playoff birth when you win the division. It's a big game. Big, big, big, big, big game right here. How about that? The NFC East got some they got some juggernauts

over in the NFC now, man. Huh? Got the Eagles, you got the you got the Lions, you got the Vikings, the Rams are still the Rams, you got to fight they NFC, not the NFC East, right? Not just the NFC East, but the NFC in general. The NFC is loaded. They are, yeah. It hasn't necessarily been that.

Green Bay, they got a fucking great team. Great quarterback, great coach, great defense. Anybody in the NFC North, yeah, you hit the net. The Vikings are playing as good as anybody. The Lions are still, good as anybody. The Lions are still until somebody beats them. In my opinion, they're the best team in the NFC. Green Bay is right up there with those guys. They are playing fantastic right now. Dude, Sleeper, don't sleep on Tampa Bay.

Come on now. Dude, their defense is fantastic with Todd Bowles. They're playing great right now. Before Mike Evans and Godwin went down, this team was on track to be one of the best teams in the NFL record wise. It's only because both those guys went down that they aren't up there with everybody else. So the fact that Mike Evans is back and healthy,

about to get his 10th consecutive 1,000 yard season, it looks like, after missing like four or five games ridiculous. Tampa Bay Buccaneers are fantastic. No, they are. So yeah, there's a lot of great football in the NFC right now. And we got a tough one this week with the commanders to try and clinch the division. Good luck. It's a fun time of year.

I love watching football. Meaningful football man who had the biggest big guy play of the week? There were some good ones this week. There were some real good ones. And I know my favorite one was from the 330 pound tight end slash off at the tackle big Dan Skipper for the Detroit Lions. Let's show this clip. This is my favorite one.

I don't think it's going to win. I don't think it's the best one. We know which one's the best one, but this is my favorite just because Skip's been there for a long time. I feel like he's like almost like a character of the Detroit Lions. Like I just love... Did that knee touch? It was close, but it did not. Upon further review, he gets in there before that knees down. But the big Skipper gets in there for the score.

Shout out to Skipper, man. I mean, just a classic tight end naked, just a little boot, man. Slam for five steps going left, three steps going right. Yep. Come on back down. They legitimately use him, not frequently, but like a decent bunch where he's running around. It's like as that second tight end option or third, usually it's the third tight end. But either way. Yeah, or third usually so third tight end But either way it forces it puts teams in a tough position man. I just yeah you get that beef out there 312 pound Cardinal offensive lineman Jonah Williams scored a fumble recovery touchdown. Let's take a look at this one I see it. I mean great strip. It's straight strip. Good strip. Get on a big dog. Get on a big dog

Does he have it? Does he have it? Does he have it? Does he have it? He's out of bounds. That's controlled. That's touchdown. I mean, that's close. That's close. That's nice. I'm glad we gave it to him. Way to get, way to just... Way to be there. Way to not just fumble that fucking thing out of the back of the end zone. You know what I mean? Just to have the savvy... Stout used to say, when you go at the ball, you wrap it. You don't go, you used to say you go at it with your hands. Don't be like a koala, batting it around with your forearms.

I'm like, what does that even, do koalas bat it around? I mean, he koalas this thing for sure. He did, he definitely did not do it with his hands. He swallowed that thing up. But honestly, the best one, my favorite. The big one, the big man, yeah. Trevonde Sweat is now the heaviest player to 366 pounds to ever run with the ball in the NFL. Uh, tops Ted Washington 365. Look

at this dude, Stiffy. Come here, set up the block, hit the, hit the highway, get outside. I'm going to need to go back to the beginning. This was all a juke. Dude, the juke is crazy. He puts on the left tackle. I'd like. This is as good, dude, this is as good as Kyle Sanders. Kyle is like, look at him. Slide, break off, stiffy.

Stiff arm. Oh, that stiff arm was ferocious. What is happening? They need to get this dude out of the full back. He needs to be in full back. I'm gonna go right in immediately. The new Frigerator Perry, man. Look at this guy.

Oh my God. A big man rumbling, stumbling, bumbling. Dude, that was electric, man. You just gotta love it. Joe Burrow doesn't love it, and I completely understand. But Stiffy, set up your block. Get outside. It's so good. It's so good.

It's such awareness. Got a little like 360 pound just giants, just titans. I'm glad I ain't got to block that guy. Just setting up their blocks, man. Fuck. I'm glad that that didn't happen against me. I had to try and tackle that guy. That was an offensive lineman.

He fucking stiff armed. What have you done to me? I'm going low. I don't know what those dudes are thinking trying to go up top on that dude. Fucking taking knee to the face and get a concussion? I'm perfectly fine. Do you know how many times I've taken knees to the face? I used to cup lock for a living.

I'm cutting. Ah, dude. Open field cuts, man. Yeah. Yeah, I did good old days. Back when it was legal. Shout out to Devandre. Hell of a play, Bob.

Absolutely. What is the weirder object flying over New Jersey? That's right, with all these drones flying around. Another Giants fan playing with a banner demanding John Mara to fire everyone or... Or what? Or else. we won't stop until you fire everyone. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Mara can wait this one out if he really wants to. The still unidentified drones that have been spotted over New Jersey or all over the East Coast cities to be honest. The aliens are among us. The Pentagon said it.

No, they're not aliens. Dude, what? You heard what the Pentagon said. Why The Pentagon said it. No, they're not aliens. Dude, what? You heard what the Pentagon said. No, that's not aliens. They didn't say he was aliens. Dude, ask dad. He's been on the satellites, dude. He heard them. He's got to still have those satellites hooked up to some speakers somewhere. It's a little concerning that these things are just hovering. I don't know what they're looking He's got to still have those satellites hooked up to some speaker somewhere. It's a little concerning that these things are just hovering around. I don't know what they're looking for or what they're trying to find, but they're searching

for something. You know, some say that it's just, you know- Just some people messing around? Yeah. They got some commitment to messing around if that's the case. Heck yeah. I don't know what's going on. I guess hopefully we find out someday Maybe it's just a coastal safety precaution. Just making sure there's no you know

All right, let's get out of here. Yeah, I don't even want I want to get into conspiracies about what the fuck those drones are Don't want to freak everybody out everybody Everybody saw the video that Joe Rogan. No one know what go crazy. Everyone keep, keep calm. They're just drones. What are they doing? We don't know. It's somebody's fucking around in their backyard. Do they have weapons? No. Can they hurt us? No. No. Can they hurt us? No. PENIS! Once again, Bold Topics is brought to you by American Express.

That's right, Trav. What? Who doesn't love a good food court? It's a food court, we'll find out. Longtime listeners of the show know that we love a good food debate Like the time we called candy corn overrated, which I don't know that that's much a debate. I think that's pretty much settled fact Jason refusing to gatekeep pizza toppings

Travis's ban on tubular shaped meats and mayonnaise and the fact that we don't know if Denny's is a diner or not I do know that is absolutely, we know that it is not a diner. It is a diner. It is 100% not a diner. It's part diner. It is a diner in disguise. Disguise is a diner. No, you already said it.

You said it. All right, we're going to go try this new segment where we attempt to settle some of the biggest all-time food debates in New Heights Food Court. Food Court. This is where we're at. This is what we're doing. The Food Court? I'm super pumped. The social room back in Cleveland Heights High School. Oh my god, those of you that don't get the reference, Heights High was such a big school that during all the lunch periods, we split up whoever had lunch that period. So you go half in the social room, half in the cafeteria, the bell rings, everybody flops. The social room was exactly what it sounds like. Everybody's just fucking around and hanging out for the remainder

of the lunch period. Today's food court topic is exotic meats. All right. Inspired by Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. On 1053, the fan, when asked if he's ever had raccoon after it was recently mentioned by Panthers wide receiver Xavier LeGette, Jones said, and I quote, I've eaten a lot of raccoon. I love that it's a lot of like, not I've eaten raccoon before, I've eaten a lot of raccoon the answer is yes it's not uncommon at all one of my favorites is squirrel I don't know what the fuck we were on raccoon I don't know where we went and turned left the squirrel it's wonderful we all had our favorite pieces my mom and I would even ask for the brain of the squirrel. Nice, Jerry. Delicious, seriously. All right, this explains a lot of things.

This explains so much, Jerry. Is squirrel meat a meat? Well, yeah, of course it's a meat. That's the question. It's definitely a meat, yeah. It's not a meat. What else would it be? Yeah, 100%.

It's any animal that's cooked. It's not a vegetable. It's damn sure not a vegetable. Ask PETA. Is it a meat you eat? I'm not gonna lie, I will try any meat pretty much. Good for you, man. I mean, as long as it's not like roadkill or something that's like rotten, I'm gonna give it a chance.

I mean, squirrel and raccoon are both technically roadkill, but so is deer and I've seen you eat jerky. I would try some squirrel. I've had rabbit. It can't be that much different than rabbit. I'm not fucking eating any of this. What about, I don't know about raccoon. What the heck is, what kind of, is a raccoon a rodent? I'm not eating rabies, dude. I'm just not doing it. Can we get a origin of species for a raccoon? What is, what kind of, what family are we in with the raccoon?

I'm pretty sure it's the rodent family. That's what I think. You would think it's rodent. It's 100% rodent. They got like hands. I need to... Can we get some answers here? Prokionid family? Is that procionid? Procyonid. What else is in this fucking family of animals? Raccoon, there's something that feels weird about eating a raccoon, more so than a squirrel. Like I'd eat a chipmunk before a raccoon. No. Raccoon, what is its closest family?

It's right there. I'm trying to figure out what other animals are in this thing. I'm pretty sure the lamest term is rodent. They're in the rodent family. No, no, no. Rodent is rodentia. I know that. Dude, I'm not eating fucking raccoon. I'm not eating squirrel. I'm not eating bugs. I'm not eating snake, kangaroo, deer. Let's be honest. Let's be honest. If you fried that thing upright and put some General Tso's sauce all over it, it's going to be just fine. that thing upright and put some General Tso's sauce all over it, it's gonna be just fine. Yeah, I'm out. I'm out on all that. I'm out on Guinea Pig. I'm out on

duck. I'm even out on duck. What's the strangest meat you've ever had? Probably duck. I don't know that duck qualifies as strange. That feels like it's pretty much established. I'm not fucking with duck. I had it one time and we didn't love it. You're out on duck. I guess alligator, the alligator nuggets. Alligator nuggets taste like chicken. Yeah. I had it again at Eagle's Tailgate.

It tasted like lobster more. More like lobster. It wasn't fried. I will say, survival of the fittest or survival, I'll eat fucking meat. You know what I mean? I'll fuck it. Yeah. If you're starving to death, yeah, you'll eat whatever you can.

That's how, that's how being alive. There's, I mean, there's that story of those rugby players that got trapped up in like Alaska or something like that with the plane crash and they were full on eating each other. Fuck. Eating themselves. I mean, you gotta, you gotta do what you gotta do. We're not talking about that level. Jerry Jones is not trapped in Alaska and all he finds is a raccoon. Jerry Jones is a billionaire and he eats a lot of it apparently.

Jesus, Jerry. I love that he stayed true to who he is. That's why I actually am a fan of this. Jerry, you ever had... Let's see, weirdest things I've ever had. I've had alligator, I've had bull testicles, I've had bison, I've had elk, I've had... I don't think I've had bull testicles, I've had bison, I've had elk, I've had I don't think I've had guinea pig, quail. One I want to have, I want to have bear. I've heard blueberry bears in particular. Marshall I'm good.

Stan It's got some good flavor to it. I feel like I had something unique when I was in Africa. I've had rabbit. I had a scorpion in Thailand right there on the street. Out. I'm not gonna lie, don't do that one. It was absolutely terrible. Should we attend the world champion squirrel cook-off in Arkansas? Maybe we get Bobby Boucher to go with us. Look at this shit, dude. That guy looks like somebody who eats squirrel. I'm in, dude. I'm going. I'm already convinced. Even if Travis isn't, I'm going and I'm eating some squirrel. What kind of squirrels are these like

domesticated squirrels or are these like, they put traps out and they're like getting these things? You know what I mean? Are these flying squirrels? They regular squirrels? Are they corn feeding these squirrels? I think these are just squirrels they find in the house. These grain fed, yeah, right? Listen, I only eat non-GMO organic certified squirrel meat. I don't mess around with the hormone-laced squirrel meat. You can't go wild. You can't go wild. You got to go tame because then you're just biting into rabies.

All right. Final verdict is squirrel meat a meat you eat. I will, I'll try squirrel. I don't know if there's much I won't try. I'm not going to lie. I'll let you try it and then hear what you got to say about it. I respect your opinion. You know the one I want to have because I saw it on chef's table? Mooselips. Apparently they eat that stuff over in Russia. I don't know that one. I want to go to Russia anytime soon. But Mooselips. I'd be into eating some Mooselips. Yeah, you would. Probably schmackin'. I love a good schmackin' meal, but I'm going to say that that's probably not schmackin'. All righty. Let's get to some voicemails. Let do it. We're gonna answer some not dumb questions that came into the Heights hotline.

Noted Questions is brought to you by Mint Mobile. All right now. Hey Travis, hey Jason. This is Coach Drinkwitz in the University of Missouri. It's not Coach. Coach. I have a question for both of you. What is your favorite post game meal?

Post game meal? And he's frozen custard, could be bronze, could be KFC. KFC. Thank you very much. And for chief and the Missouri Tigers. Love it, love it coach. M-I-Z-Z-O-U, Missouri Tigers. We actually got a Cleveland Heights Tiger

that just signed his letter of intent to go to University of Missouri shout out to Marquis Davis running back I'm sure you'll play one of the best players in the state of Ohio this year I'm pretty sure I saw a stat line that had him rushing like 24 rushes for 400 yards and eight touchdowns in one game. One game? There's no way. Dude, I swear to God.

There's no chance. The dude's a fucking absolute beast. Yeah, shout out to Mizzou, baby, over there in Columbia, Missouri. Postgame meal. What is your favorite postgame meal? You said a few of my favorites off the rip. Andy's frozen custard slide over there, get you a 87 ultimate cookie custard, man. Die-gone, this shit's delicious. Gotta stop over at Andy, shout out to Andy. I'm down, I just love to pig out on some pizza, man. Yeah, pizza's hard to beat.

I love just getting just boxes of it and just fucking just going one at it one by one. Just pizza might be my favorite food altogether though. So I'll be honest, I'm not a huge postgame meal guy. A lot of times I don't eat. Why? Especially the food that they provide for the teams after the games. It's usually just been sitting around and it's terrible after the games. Dude, we had a good one up there in Cleveland, Ohio City burrito.

Yeah, not bad. Man. I usually go protein shake, a little creatine and then I'm straight, if I'm being honest, I'll go pizza. Pizza is a solid choice. Go over there, chicken and peas, get some fries. I'm doing some high school garages. You know what I mean?

That's my post-game meal. There you go. I'm with that. I used to love the Jimmy Johns in the locker. The, was that Mike's? I like Jimmy Johns. That was- At Cincinnati?

Cincinnati had Jersey Mike's and it was fucking terrible. Man, I loved it. It was so soggy. It would be sitting around and Jersey Mike's is good. I didn't find out until years later Jersey Mike's actually makes good subs until, cause I mean the ones that were there for post game were like the fact that you won't eat squirrel but you ate those Jersey Mike's subs

that were sitting around for hours and just soaking up all the hot salami and ham juices. Like I don't know how you got them. That was the Italian dressing on those fuckers. It was disgusting. Those sandwiches sucked. You just, Italian dressing on those fuckers. Dude, it was disgusting. Those sandwiches sucked. You just, you took too long of showers. You got to get them while they're hot.

Let me tell you, they weren't hot ever. They were bad sandwiches. And then somebody's like, hey, you know what's really good, Jersey Mike's? It's like, no, it's fucking not. And they're like, no, let's go. I'll show you. You get this. And I went there.

I was like, oh yeah, it is good. When the bread isn't soggy as fuck, I've never liked postgame meals. They're always bad. Well, thanks for calling in. Coach, thanks for calling in. I will say I'm more of a Popeyes man myself. If there was something I would do postgame, I'd get some Popeyes chicken. Oh, is it going spicy or original? I go dark meat, spicy.

Gotta go. Dark meat only. Red beans and rice dark meat spicy. Gotta go. Dark meat only. Red beans and rice on the side. Apple pie. I don't even fuck with apple pie, but I'm in with you. Hey, those apple pies on Popeyes you fuck with, they good. There you go. Well, now you got it, Coach Drinkwitz.

Get your guys some apple pies from Popeyes. That's a next call up on the New Heights Highline. Let's hear it. Hey guys, I was just wondering how you felt about being dethroned as the top trending pet name in sports. I just know that on sprover.com, according to their 2024 top pet names report, Jalen Brunson is now the number one trending sports name and now Kelsey is number two. Way to go, Jalen.

I just wondered because last year I saw that you were number one, so I just wondered how you felt. Just wanted to get your reaction on being dethroned by an NBA player. So please, let us know on the pod. Thanks. Jason, do you have any idea who Jalen Brunson is? Hey, plays for the New York Knicks. Actually with the Villanova.

Look at this guy. I've met Jalen Brunson. I'm proud of you, man. You've met a lot of people. I think Jalen Brunson is also just a good name. Like, let's be honest, that's a great name. Brunson? That's a good dog name. I like just like the full name, Jalen Brunson. Like there's something with it that it just runs well together.

It rings. It definitely rings. I'm pretty happy to be dethroned if I'm being honest with you. I don't like, I'm honored on the people that did name their pets after us. I was about to say, we named a pet after a famous athlete that we loved. Yeah, Bell. Yeah, Albert Bell. Albert Bell. I don't know that we should brag about that but we did. But we definitely, we can relate because we've done this show.
