Fucking nuts. We got a lot of fan bases riled up and might have started a blog war between the Dallas Cowboys and Eagles fans.
Starting point is 00:03:20 I don't think we started that war. That war's been going on long before us. Yep, that is the war of a lifetime right there. But the never ending war. Yeah. Well, listen, we tried to make this thing as unbiased as possible. And of course, What did Travis say? Travis, I mean, listen, you knew it right from the get go. Come on. It's a good one. It's another way for the good guys, baby. The Eagles tried, the Eagles fans tried to eliminate Dallas in the first round. I mean, let's be honest commanders. That's one of the reasons I didn't want to do worst worst team name
Starting point is 00:03:50 is like we don't need to it's the Washington commanders like there's nobody even close right Let the fans decide either way the Eagles Eagles fans tried to eliminate Dallas It ended up being just essentially the Eagles versus the Cowboys.

All right now, our first fan mention is a story that became national news, Jason. How about that? National news.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Did it become national? Doing what you've been doing every single morning since you were five years old. Just taking a trip to McDonald's. Give you a couple. Egg and sausage egg and cheese. Sausage egg and cheese. Don't mess this up.
Starting point is 00:05:03 You know what it is. Can't beat it. Not just one, two. That's right. Got us the car carb up, man. You pulled up to your favorite McDonald's Eagles fan and McDonald's employee, Danielle Bonham.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Yep. Shared a photo of you two at the drive-thru. And she's holding a sign. Kelly Green, Jersey, that I've been trying to get my fucking hands on. Did I not get you one? It was very generous. No you didn't Jason. No you didn't. I also said you know what fucking keep it. That's what I also said. But secretly I still want it. This is very generous of you man. You knew it might have been your last time this year pulling up to that McDonald's at that point in time or you just felt like he was the right time right moment. What
Starting point is 00:05:43 made you do this? I just went to McDonald's like I usually do in Daniel's head of Jersey and I was like, of course I'll sign your Jersey Daniel. Oh, nice. Yeah, it got miscommunicated. I thought this was you like bringing a Jersey to your local McDonald's. Yeah, no, it's not what happened.
Starting point is 00:05:57 I gotta clear that up. That's not what happened. I don't just have signed jerseys in the back of my car. I think I might start doing this after seeing the joy on Daniel's face. This might be something that I'll try to institute in the back of my car. I think I might start doing this after seeing the joy on Danielle's face. This might be something that I'll try to institute in the future. The first time I ever pulled out to the McDonald's
Starting point is 00:06:11 and Danielle was behind the counter, she was crying profusely when she was taking my order. She is a huge birds fan. You scared her that, oh nice. No, it was tears of, I don't know, is it happiness or? Yeah, it would have been happiness. I don't know if it was happiness. I cried when I see you sometimes. I cry when I see you sometimes.
Starting point is 00:06:26 I mean, everybody is a cry. We're a crying family. Anyway, Danielle is awesome. I will say this. She said that, that thing says my favorite employee. Listen, I can't, I love all my Brumall, McDonald's employees. I can't do that to any of the other wonderful workers.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Can't pick any favorites over here. Spoken like a good political man. Danielle's definitely one of my favorite fans. She's awesome. She always gives me these like photographs of her. This is how you win an election, ladies and gentlemen. This is what happens. You don't pick your favorite employees.
Starting point is 00:07:00 You love them all the same. She gave me some nice cards. Oh, nice. She wrote me a wonderful letter about how much she appreciated me being an eagle nice Holy fucking nice. Yeah, no, she's it. I'm telling you dude. She's diehard nice. She's in one of the fans clubs One got a nice a lot of nice. She in the 92th fan club I have more photos of Daniela my car than I do my wife. She just gives me nice photos. I'm gonna go to CVS and print a fucked
Starting point is 00:07:30 ton of photos of Kylie and just put them in your fucking glove compartment now. She's competing with Danielle. But yeah, no, it was pretty awesome. How was it? Was it the best breakfast that you ever had? All right, I wasn't gonna say this. Daniel messed my order up.
Starting point is 00:07:50 I don't know if it was Daniel, but somebody behind there messed the order up. No, they got too excited. They got excited. I think the pandemonium of the moment. So normally I go there every time I get two sausages taken cheese with a large coffee, black, and I either hot or iced. it's always iced or hot.
Starting point is 00:08:07 And they know it. No hash brown? Dude, I don't go hash brown. Hash browns aren't delicious. What the fuck is wrong with you? I hate, I don't do combo meals. I don't do combo meals if I get, if I'm going there to get a burger,
Starting point is 00:08:17 I get a double quarter pound of cheese. I don't go there to get the value member number four with the fries and the- That's the point of the, it gets you a better deal. No, that's a rookie mistake. That's a rookie, no, that's, those fries and that drink, you're not getting your money's worth on that.
Starting point is 00:08:32 It's not enough calories per dollar. That hash brown you are. No, it's still same thing. It's not enough calories per dollar. You gotta go high calorie. It's the perfect crunch. It might be their best item. Now, their best item is the sausage and cheese,
Starting point is 00:08:42 McMuffin, and I get two of those. And a large black coffee, because I love McDonald's coffee. You got this all jacked up. And, but either way, are you always at either a hot black coffee or a iced black coffee, depending on how fastly it needs to be consumed? Danielle checked with me, because she knows, she knows more about her.
Starting point is 00:08:59 She said, do you want iced or hot coffee today? And I said, I will take hot coffee. And I get up to the window after Danielle where they give you your food. Nice. And they hand me what I think is iced coffee. Cause I'm like, okay, they must have whatever. They got it.
Starting point is 00:09:13 I'll drink an iced black coffee. I'm not gonna do this. I mean, that ain't gonna ruin my morning. And I take a sip of it and it's the best damn coffee I've ever tasted in my life. It's so good. It takes me a second to realize that this isn't coffee This sugar
Starting point is 00:09:28 For high fructose corn syrup Coca-Cola, and it was delicious Do you know how excited my brain got to expect the the hard bitterness of coffee and to be shocked with just nothing But pure sugar into my head. That's the best way to have it man syrup just nothing but pure sugar into my head. That's the best way to have it. Man, syrup. Gosh. Pure. Dude.
Starting point is 00:09:48 That might be the best way. I don't think I ever want ice cold coffee. I mean, dude, if I barely ever, ever again. I barely ever order pop. That's right, pop. So do I. That's the way I prefer to get it. Just keep messing my order up.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Because then it's not on me. Everybody drive through you ever go through from now on. It's just gonna fuck your dreams. This is the hack. Cause if I order a large Coke, I'll feel like a piece of shit. So I can't order a large Coke. I gotta get a coffee or something that's more like,
Starting point is 00:10:19 I can live with myself forgetting. Ain't no shame in my game. But if you surprised me with a Coke, I'm gonna be. I was, I think I, with the rest of the day, I was just so happy because I got the sign Daniels Jersey and I got a large Coca-Cola. That's great, man. Is there anything better than a fountain Coke?
Starting point is 00:10:36 Dude, there's one thing better. It's so good. It's something that's different about it. There's one thing better than that's an ice cold, cherry Pepsi. I like cherry Coke, cherry Pepsi, whatever. I'm with you. Wild cherry Pepsi is the greatest.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Especially the movie theater. You get a wild cherry. A wild cherry Coke or Pepsi. St. Joe's, I mean St. Joe's. Joe's barbecue. Oh yeah. Kansas City Joe's. The dude with the wild cherry.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Joe's KC, whatever you wanna fucking call it, Oklahoma Joe's. I know what you're talking about. They got the, chair. Joe's, KC, whatever you want to fucking call it, Oklahoma, just they got the walk. They got the I go in there, get a half slab, couple of Z-mans, some big old order of fries. And I just get that found drink. It's on the combo menu. You wouldn't get that. I'm not a combo guy.
Starting point is 00:11:18 I feel like combos are their way of trying to offload and bundle shit together so that you get stuff. No, that's the supersize me. They had to discontinue that. I'll build my own combo. I go a la carte. If I want a large fry, I'll get a large fry. You know what I mean? I ain't going with this combo nonsense. So when you order it, you'll order a combo, but you'll order it's a la carte and then they'll just... If I was going to do it, I'm going to do that. I don't want your combo.
Starting point is 00:11:45 You're fucking, you get four different things. I'm going to get what I want. It just automatically just goes into a combo. I suppose if it all bundled into a combo, I would probably get the combo, but it doesn't happen long enough. It doesn't happen often. This is great. This is great.
Starting point is 00:11:59 Well, shout out to Danielle. Glad that she got her Kelly Green Jersey signed and good luck to you, my friend, on every drive through you ever go through and fill it from now on. It looks like you're going to be stacked. Every McDonald's and fucking fast food spots is going to have Jason Kelsey memorabilia stocked up under the window. Just wait until you pull out. I'm serious. I'm not just stocking. He'll sign. I might just start stocking jerseys in the back of my truck and just handed them to my favorite fans.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I think that's a great idea. That might be the wrong thing to tell America and everyone else that's listening. Next up, we got another photo of my overflowing locker that has become viral and everybody knows about because the good people at Nova care don't know what privacy is like. at NovaCare don't know what privacy is like. Ha ha ha! We let these wonderful media members into our locker room and they just shit on us. I mean, come on now.
Starting point is 00:12:54 It says nothing to do with why you're in the locker room, Jeff. Come on, Jeff. Jeff Kerr tweeted, Jason Kelsey's locker. Jordan Malata told me all this shit is from the podcast. Says he needs to start one to get free shit. Oh yeah, there you go. There you go. That's one way to get free shit, start a podcast.
Starting point is 00:13:11 You will get a lot of stuff saying, I can't deny though. Can't control it. I don't, I can't blame all of this on the podcast. I think, I think I'm just a messy human being. I've personally told everybody at the, at the chief's organization if it doesn't, like if I didn't, because I never send stuff to the facility. So I'm like, if I don't give you a heads up that I'm sending something to the facility,
Starting point is 00:13:30 you can just toss it. Just throw it away. I don't want that shit piling up like this. It's the worst. I've had a locker where it just gets stacked up and you just have boxes and it looks like a warehouse. And you're just like, what am I doing? All those boxes in front of podcast boxes
Starting point is 00:13:42 are people sending it in relation to the podcast. Dude, there might be a candle in there. It might be a Jason Kelsey candle in there I guarantee there's a candle in there that pink box is but that pink box is a box of Girl Scout cookies from I think two years ago I heard those things got good shelf life though. I know I'm a hoarder. I'm a hoarder. I'm happy you're supporting your local Girl Scouts always always. always. Yeah, that's a little messed up there, Jeffy Kerr, but whatever, I like it. I like it, it's good stuff to know. It's fair.
Starting point is 00:14:10 And lastly, we got a shout out from none other than Stone Cold, Chris Jones. We got a shout out? We got a shout out? I have no idea. Chris made sure the world knew that I decided to go by Kelce instead of Kelsey during our episode with our dad last year. And-
Starting point is 00:14:27 Why is this still a thing? Why are we doing this? I don't know, because we made it fun because I know it really pisses you off. I don't give a fuck what you call me. You can call me Kelsey Kels Travis. T-Kels, yeah, you can call me what? T-Rav, fucking Malibu's most wanted.
Starting point is 00:14:43 I don't give a shit what you call me. I'm not even Travis Kills. Travis Kills. Travis. Yeah, bro. I don't know. There he is, right? That's fucking crazy, right?
Starting point is 00:14:54 Why do I need to watch the clip? Should we go by Kelsey or Kelsey? Do whatever you want. I did. Do whatever you want. I did. What a head Kelsey line. I mean, I really don't care what you call me either
Starting point is 00:15:05 But if I'm gonna say my name, I'm saying Jason Kelsey, but it's wrong But I don't know why but that's what it is. Yeah, it is what it is But yeah, that was a no stone cold Jones giving a shout out to our last name so regardless of whether it's Kelsey Kelsey Cole Jones, giving a shout out to our last name. So regardless of whether it's Keltner Kelsey, there's nothing better than a stone cold Jones soundbite. Let's let's hear what is Chris Collins worth. Impersonation sounds like with this clip. Listen guys, we're talking about a guy in Patrick Mahomes. That's pretty good. He does. He goes down an octave when he says listen guys, listen guys. Listen guys, he's got the mannerisms really well done.
Starting point is 00:15:47 And Patrick Mahomes has been throwing the ball since he was eight years old. So that's definitely a Collins worth line. It's pretty good. I didn't know he was such an impressionist. Impressionist. Yeah. Yeah. But I wonder what other impressions Chris can do. We need to get him out of the show and probably lay on Phelps.
Starting point is 00:16:00 There's no way he can do a Leon Phelps impression. He can 1000. He has to watch the watch the movie or the skit. Do you think he's seen? Do you think he if we if you went up to him right now, he's already half of his voice is halfway there already. He is very close just naturally. Naturally.
Starting point is 00:16:16 That's a great call. The latest man. He just got to put a little bit more list on it and he's there. And I was running my 40 and my dick flipped out. The Hummer. You wouldn't say dick, what would ladies say? And my you. The Hummer, the Hummer came out the garage.

Starting point is 00:17:54 Lamar Jackson, more 63 and a half rushing yards. I think he's going to be on a tear. Travis Kelsey, more 64 and a half receiving yards. It's playoff. Travis time folks tap in. There are also a discount on Christian McCaffrey rushing yards right now. I think he's gonna get the half yard they've got for him. I also really like Jameer Gibbs to score.
Starting point is 00:18:15 He's been kind of their red zone back. I really like Jameer Gibbs to score, or if you really like his yards, go for that one. But that is my championship from the picks. Do what you wanna do with that information. I'll get the guys back here and get out of your hair. Whistle. I got one of them.
Starting point is 00:18:32 I got Jason. Jason, you want to go? I win, I win. You did, you were first, you were first. Congratulations. I win, I won, I won, I won. Hopefully Brandon does something right around here and got some good picks for you guys.

Let's get to the, let's get to what everybody's here for. Little bit of football talk, huh? Little foosball, baby, little foosball.
Starting point is 00:20:37 That's right. Bold topics to wrap up the divisional rounds, starting with Chiefs Bills. That's right, Chiefs 27, Bills 24 on Sunday Night Football. What a game, baby. What a game. All right, here's how we're gonna do this. Knowing there was a lot happening on the field,
Starting point is 00:20:53 off the field, all the shenanigans, we're gonna do the important parts first. We're gonna talk about the game, the actual field, what took place, all that stuff. And... We're gonna talk about me and then we're gonna talk about you. Yeah, I think that's a better way to say it Initial thoughts on the game. TREV anything dude. What was it like? I have to tip my hat man
Starting point is 00:21:10 I have to tip my hat to bills mafia. It was It's such an awesome atmosphere playing up there. It is it was so much fun. They brought the energy They got rowdy for every single play, every single third down that we had, and they made it fun. Obviously I'm saying this differently if we come out with an L instead of a victory, but I can't thank Bill's mafia for showing up and showing out like they did
Starting point is 00:21:36 and making that environment a memorable one for everybody involved, man, that was electric. I get what you're saying. The atmosphere was electric, and apparently it does not affect Patrick Mahomes because he sure can win a playoff game on the road All right now chiefs now have made it to their six straight aFC championship game Patrick Mahomes has made it to the aFC championship game in every single year as a starter. That is that is insane It is before we break down the game. Let's hit on the pregame fit. That's right. Travis Kelsey always known for his pregame fits.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Hell yeah, baby. You like that? You like that cheesecake bag, cheesecake factory bag? I saw that too. I didn't I thought it reminded me of something. There was that to me. I got more vibes that this was a Wes Anderson style. That's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:22:23 The beanie and everything. It kind of looked like it would be like out of life aquatic, I think is probably what gave me that idea. Dude, that'd be pretty electric. It wasn't aimed as a knock. I mean, dude, Wes Anderson is a beast. That's what I'm saying. If I'm in a Wes Anderson film, if this was my pitch, this is this.
Starting point is 00:22:37 I'm going to just go ahead and say this is my pitch to get on a Wes Anderson film. Let's go. Dude, are you kidding me? I could fit right in West. You just give me the lines, baby. Let's go. Dude, are you kidding me? I could fit right in, Wes. You just give me the lines, baby. There you go. Yeah, man. It reminded me a lot of Life Aquatic.
Starting point is 00:22:51 It was a very, very picturesque, I guess. Yeah, thank you for that, man. Yeah, it was a custom suit, actually, by Teddy Van Ransen. Teddy Van Ransen. Nice. Fits likeansen. Nice. Felt like a glove, baby. Like a glove. I just I matched it with this shirt and hat and a boot combo that I just had laying around, you know.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Nothing. You just laying around. Just wanted to make sure everybody knew that we were going into Buffalo business attire. This is about as business as I get right here. That was pretty business up. What's the material you got working on there in the coat? It looks like it's a wool. Is that a wool coat, cashmere? What do you got?
Starting point is 00:23:31 No, it's a little stretchier. It's a little stretchier. I'm not sure what the fabric is. Oh, it's got a little give with it. All right. Yeah, it was nice. Very cool. I appreciate it, Mike.
Starting point is 00:23:41 All right, let's get into the game itself. How about it? Big night for the Big Yeti. The offense was rolling once again this game. You guys put up 27 points and 14 of those points came with the Big Yeti and Mahomes connection. That's right. Yes, sir. Pat through for 215 yards, two touchdowns, zero interceptions.
Starting point is 00:24:00 And, Trab, you led all receivers and finished with 75 yards and two touchdowns. Two big old touchdowns. That's right. All right. Now, simple read of the safety. Huh? Safety. Take that out.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Was that the corner? It's covered three. Cover three. Safety was moving over there. He motioned late. There you go. Post corner. Post corner. Just corner. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha The celebration went wild by you with the little heart. Who was, uh-
Starting point is 00:24:45 Yeah man, had to spread the love, baby. You always gotta spread that love, baby. There we go, there we go. There was a lot of hate pulling up to that stadium, man. A lot of understand, understand that. Yeah, it's a football game. It's supposed to be. It's a football game, the bills coming into their house,
Starting point is 00:24:58 they wanna make it rowdy. Did it get a little disrespectful? 1000%. 1000%. Did it? Did it get a little extra? 1000%. 1000%. Did it get a little extra? 1000%. I'm not going to say.
Starting point is 00:25:07 What they say they got extra? I'm not going to say because that's what they want. They want to feel. Oh, there you go. I'm not going to relay it, but some things were said about the family, some pretty inappropriate things were said about Pat Mahomes. It was pretty wack. I get it.
Starting point is 00:25:21 I get it. You know what I mean? Coming into a hostile environment, I respect it. But I just wanted to make sure that you guys. Can't play the mind games. Yeah, I just wanted to make sure new it wasn't mutual I don't hate you guys like you hate us. It's all love baby. They don't hate us. I was with them. They love you Well, we'll get to that later, dude We'll get to you in a fucking second. All right, sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry Don't peak too soon
Starting point is 00:25:43 But yeah, that boy Pat Mahomes was on one baby. He's playing lights out right now and it's a lot big, big part of our offensive line playing lights out. I actually went up to Josh Allen, you know, and after the game and told him congrats how much, how much I respect him, respect his game. And the fact that they made it this far to the divisional round dealing with all those injuries man Where they were in the middle of the season, you know, everybody you count them out You know, I think the bills have a lot to be proud of and how they're how their players reacted How their coaches reacted because you don't get to where they got By just having a whole bunch of guys, you know, not invested. I think they got a lot of the right guys. It just
Starting point is 00:26:24 unfortunately the It's a part of the game. Injuries happen. They were a pretty beat up defense, unfortunately, and they did what they could with what they had. And there's absolutely nothing to be hanging your head about, even though it does seem like they were just that close to making it to the next round. Dude, the bill's finished the season strong.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Dude, it was impressive, man. And Josh Allen was playing fucking lights out. He's been unbelievable this year, especially down the stretch. I witnessed that first hand in Philadelphia and then again in Buffalo. This score does not really indicate, I think, I guess how much both offenses did,
Starting point is 00:27:05 it feel like, in the game. I mean, don't get me wrong, Kansas City's defense played pretty well. They always do. They've been great all year round. But I thought both quarterbacks executed at a high level. It just felt like the game kind of flew by.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Yeah. Like it just felt like it was a fast game. And like you mentioned this before we got on the pod, but you guys only ran 50 plays. It was something like that. I forget how many plays it actually was, but it definitely was not a lot of plays. It wasn't a ran 50 plays. It was something like that. I forget how many plays it actually was, but it definitely was not a lot of plays. It wasn't a lot of plays.
Starting point is 00:27:27 The bills were slowly eating up the clock, not really taking too many shots down field, getting the ball out quick, just moving the chains third down after third down. And that's, I mean. It wears on you. Yeah. And if you're the other team and that's happening to you,
Starting point is 00:27:42 you gotta be proficient when you have the ball. Yeah, you got to make the most of your opportunities And you can't just put up field goals. You got to put up touchdowns That'll really put the heat back on the team. That's just trying to know and I'll Eat up the clock man. You also had another score in the third quarter this time the big Yeti Scored right out of half time. Yeah, that was you guys got the ball right out of half time. Yeah, those you guys got the ball right out of half time. I'll tell you what, man. I just love it when we come together as a team, man. You got Noah Gray, Blake Bell out front,
Starting point is 00:28:16 Don Smith, Donovan Smith out there. Yeah, what was this? This is like a running tight end. We brought this out of, this was my London touchdown. If you remember me scoring in London, man. It was, we have a big, big time run package in the goal line out of the 13 personnel. And we brought that one back from,
Starting point is 00:28:35 when I played the Lions in London back in like 2015, 2014, something like that. And man, everybody just got a guy. And I had one man to beat, and luckily enough, 5-2 Klein had just got caught up inside just enough to where I could beat him to the pylon, man. It was almost like a screen outside zone, like bubble type thing.
Starting point is 00:28:59 It was a nifty little play. And with that, it was your second touchdown of the game But it was also a little bit of NFL history because you and Pat Now hold the record for most postseason touchdowns by any quarterback receiver duo in NFL history with 16 touchdowns Come by man We talk about LeBron stats and bun stats all the time. I think this one's That one is a fully cemented big time. It's starting to even it out. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:29:29 Like my bun stats, bun records are way up here. You're starting to get the legit ones. My cool ones are starting to. You've been getting the legit ones. When you get close to Jerry Rice records and you get close to Gronkh records, you're fucking, you're doing something right. No doubt.
Starting point is 00:29:44 You're doing something right. No doubt. Well, there was a, somebody took notice and that was the, one of the guys that held the previous record, which was Tom Brady. That's the record you guys broke was Tom Brady and Gronk Kowsky's touchdown record in the post season. You guys broke it with that touchdown at 16 and Tom tweeted out, Bease, when you won up Gronk, you know you're doing something right. There you go.
Starting point is 00:30:07 As always, classy move by Tom. Classy. Just a class act, man. He's right, though. I don't know that anybody ever thought that that record was going to get broken, or that any of these postseason records by knowing they'll get broken because of how much time they spent in the postseason. Like, dude, they were there nonstop. I've personally seen four of those touchdowns out of the 15 that they've connected on. You're in Arrowhead or when you guys were playing them. Yeah. And in in Gillette Stadium, not even that in the Buccaneers Stadium.
Starting point is 00:30:36 I don't know if he scored the year that we were in New England. The AFC championship, the first AFC championship in Casey that we lost. I think it was the Super Bowl and the first time I played it. So you guys played them once in Arrowhead, once in New England, and then obviously the Super Bowl. When they were with the box, yeah. Yeah. And I've seen four of those touchdowns. I ran out.
Starting point is 00:30:59 That's four, too many. All right, here we go. I'll tell you what, man, it's an honor. Well, the rest of the Chiefs offense came to play on Sunday night as well. Mark Quez, Valdez, Scantlin. Quez. There we go. Had a few nice grabs for 62 yards.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Right on time, baby. Rashi Rice, four receptions for 62 yards, and Pacheco had it all wrapped up at 97 yards rushing in a touchdown. Clyde Edwards, a layer, had a couple nice runs, including one for 28 yards as well. Getting down the hill, baby. Good brother Clyde. I gotta say this, man.
Starting point is 00:31:32 I feel like Pacheco really came on the spot last year. I feel like Clyde has been running with some juice now. He's always run with juice, but it feels like he's, they're feeding off of each other. That's what it feels like. That's the best, man. Yeah, right? They're both getting the most out of each other when you know You got you got a guy that can break one or get a get a big game at any point man Fuck you just makes you want to fucking block that much harder for a man
Starting point is 00:31:55 No doubt and both of them are two of the two of the like favorites in the locker room So, you know, you're gonna get everybody rallying together to help get them yards and on top of that, we're hustling to the ball to get our guys up, man. Well, all year you and Pat have been saying that this team has the right guys around it. Do you feel that people are starting to respect the Chief's offense again? I don't give a damn if they respect us or not.
Starting point is 00:32:20 I could give a fuck, keep disrespecting us. Keep telling us that we don't have it all. We're another AFC Championship game and we're looking forward to the to the challenge coming up and that's all I give a damn By one of the best defenses will will face all year We faced all year and and it's another away game in the playoffs another hostile environment and yeah other things from the game Obviously where the fake punt in the touchback rule The game was wild the whole way through with five total lead changes and it reached peak wild in the fourth quarter. With 12 minutes 49 seconds left in the game at their own 30, it's fourth
Starting point is 00:32:56 and five and the Chiefs are up 27-24. They line up to punt the ball. Instead they let to go with the fake. The ball is directly snapped to Damar Hamlin in the backfield who attempts to run for the first down, but is stopped pretty much at the line that they snapped it at, didn't really do much, unfortunately. What did you think of the decision? What was the reaction on the sideline to see the attempt? Initially, I'm like, what in the fuck are they doing?
Starting point is 00:33:20 Fourth and five in your own territory at that point in the game, like that's not, that's not your. It's not the time to go for a fake. Yeah, that's not your fake call right there, especially in the playoffs where everything's on the line, you know what I mean? Yeah. I think there had to have been a check. Really? We only had the defense only had or the our punt return team only had 10 guys out on the field. Oh, with that being said, I think some teams and some coaches
Starting point is 00:33:44 might have an automatic audible. If they're missing a guy, take advantage of that. Go to whatever side has the least amount of guys and just kind of run like an outside sweep and hope that your guys can get a body on a body. Yeah, you capture the corner and if you're minus numbers, it should be open. I'll tell you what, shout out to Drew Tranquil. He took up like three blocks, had a huge tackle, gets us the ball and big time momentum booster there. It's easier to understand if there were short numbers.
Starting point is 00:34:11 I think that sums up why they elected to probably check to that. In general, I'm not a huge fan of an outside zone like fake punt. It's so lateral. There's got to be some trickery. There's got to be some type of like hide the ball on a handout, there has to be something, not just a catch and sweep, you know, a little misdirection or something.
Starting point is 00:34:31 I like the, if they were gonna go with the typical fake, you'd like to see them throw it, but even then you'd rather have the off, put Josh Allen out there. If you don't throw the ball, just have Josh Allen out there, right? Like he's your best bet, but. Too sure.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Regardless, that makes a lot more sense that Casey had less guys and they elected to go with a fake. Obviously, it didn't work out, unfortunately, for them, but it was. Unfortunately, however you're looking at it, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. So, on the next drive, you guys get to the three yard line to set up a Mahomes to Miko Harmon and you didn't capitalize on it. You guys fumble through the back of the end zone.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Dude, I'm not gonna lie, man. I owe Miko a fucking, a new car or something. I owe so much to him, man. Why's that? My block was the one that knocked the ball out and I've been fucking sick. I apologize to him every single time I fucking saw him today and I'll apologize again, my bad McCollum.
Starting point is 00:35:25 Yeah. My guy's just trying to be great and get the ball in the end zone. And I'm thinking it's a, it's a speed type speed where outside, where outside of the guy goes inside, you know what I mean? Yeah. He can't be right if he goes underneath you. And he just, he finished the play better than I did. And yeah, got a hand on the ball and man, I owe my guy big time, man.
Starting point is 00:35:46 And I feel bad for him, man. There's nothing worse than giving up the ball, especially in a situation to- When your guy causes a fumble, yeah, it sucks. It should sucks, man. And McColl is, I mean, he's fired up to get after it again though. Oh, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:36:03 I know my guy, he wants another opportunity to get the ball and show what he can do with it. And sure enough, you'll see him next Sunday, come up and right on time, baby. We've talked about this touchback rule a few times. Now being on the side of it, which is the side you don't wanna be on, do you still like the rule that if you fumble?
Starting point is 00:36:24 It's fine, it's a rule. Rules are rules. That's how it works. Yeah. That's why I said, I owe you a big dog. My bad man. That shit never even fucking happened. We've been on record. We like the rule and this doesn't change it. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Wide right part two, the second game that there was a big miss field going. After the game comes down to the wire, the Chiefs are up 27 24 still The defense is able to stop the bills and force a fourth down with 147 left to play bill settle for the field goal attempt And it's wide right Way rad. I don't know what happened on it. You don't know what happened Did you see the wind Jason? Is that what it was do the wind fucking it was blowing that way
Starting point is 00:37:06 That sucks it was it wasn't a consistent wind It was like no it was like aggressive and then it wasn't and then it was aggressive and then it was the worst And then sometimes it was right in your face and sometimes it was Swirly is a great word for it. It wasn't like a consistent wind man So and I'm sure it was probably a little inconsistent on where you were on the field. So he might have felt like the wind was more in his face in the middle of the field where he was and over there by the goal post or whatever, it was a heavy wind across the field. Who knows what
Starting point is 00:37:38 it was or he might have just fucking missed it. Unfortunately, there's shit like that happens, but it does. It sucks in particular, because like it's so taken for granted now because there's so many great kickers that you line up and they're gonna make, I mean, this is a 44 yarder. Feel like you line up as a team and you feel like it's gonna be, it's almost like a foregone conclusion,
Starting point is 00:37:57 like, hey, we're about to tie this up and hopefully the defense can have a good stand and we'll see if we get the ball back or going to overtime. God damn, it's gotta be the worst feeling ever. I feel for the kickers when this happened. Dude, holy shit. I feel, yeah, you feel bad for them unless you're on the winning side,
Starting point is 00:38:14 but I hear you man, that shit sucks. Hey, news flash, it's hard to kick in a negative degree weather right next to Lake Erie when the winds are blowing. A blowing. You got any final thoughts from this one? What do you think? We already talked about shot not, I mean, Josh Allen and just how good he's been and how great he was in this game.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Dude, big shout out to Dawson Knox, to Dalton, Kincaid, the Titans over there. Man, I love those guys as people is always at tight end. You and just a lot of respect for the guys on that team. You know, they went through a lot and they persevered through a lot, but I think the Chiefs got a lot to prove this year. And we felt we felt like we needed that one a little bit more. There was this clip of you running into the tunnel at halftime next to Josh Allen, you're saying something. What are you guys talking about there? He's just not too often you're talking to the guy.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Well, there's not too often do you go down the same tunnel at half time. That's good point. Typically every stadium is like, there's my home team tunnel and away team. This is a unique case where we're all going to the same tunnel and I just called Josh. He might have asked me how I'm getting so open and I just told him baby, I'm blending the trees with the best of them. Stealth mode. You got to have stealth mode as a skill set, man.
Starting point is 00:39:31 The shit will get you on anything. Just out here blended in the trees, baby. I feel like when it is like this though, usually they, when you do go into the same tunnel, usually they- They rope it off or something? Yeah. For like the one team goes first and then you guys go second or whatever. No, didn't matter. Nope. If they're throwing snowballs, how do they and then you guys go second or whatever. No, didn't matter. Nope.
Starting point is 00:39:45 If they're throwing snowballs, how do they know if you guys are both running through? Maybe that's why they let you do it together because it'll discourage the snowballs. No, the snowballs are flying regardless. And it was pretty cool to see every time they scored the fucking fans, Bill's Mafia just start throwing snow in the air. Dude, it was like, it was epic. Well, it's cool until it's ice. Well, as long as you don't get hit with it.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Yeah. Trave, you were asked by reporters before the game about Bill's mafia fans potentially throwing snowballs and you said, I grew up in Cleveland. We were throwing beer bottles of people referencing the iconic game from what was that from? Was that a play out? No, it wasn't. But there was a I remember late in the game, there was a miss call and or at least what was perceived as a miss call.
Starting point is 00:40:30 I still don't remember. I forget. It might have been, it might have been Steelers, might have been, I forget who exactly it was. It might have been Bengals. But I do remember that immediately the Browns fans started throwing beer bottles onto the field. And for a while, I think they stopped selling like beer bottles in stadiums.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Like you had to like, and maybe that was just a Cleveland thing. For a while, I'm pretty sure they stopped selling beer bottles all over. They still do? Yeah. I have, every stadium I've ever been to has been cups for that exact reason.
Starting point is 00:41:02 I feel like you can still get those like aluminum cans, no? I feel like they just, get those like aluminum cans, no? I feel like they just, it's not like. Cans are different than glass bottles. Dude, if you take a full beer can bottle, like the ones that like you can screw, you're gonna, yeah. You're getting knocked out.
Starting point is 00:41:16 I respect that. Good, yeah. All right, here we go. Bottlegate, let's go ahead and look it up. Let's look this up. I remember it happening vaguely, but I can't remember the circumstances. I thought it even might have happened before. Bottlegate also referred to as the beer bottle game was an
Starting point is 00:41:28 officiating controversy that resulted in a family during the American football Jacksonville Jaguars game. Tim Couch and the boys Quincy Morgan. God, this is taking me back right now. Fuck. Just in the middle of the season. It's not even like a playoff game. Yeah. Fuck it. They all count. Every game counts, baby. I want to see what the playoff game. Yeah. Fucking they all count. Every game counts, baby. I want to see what the call was that they missed. I can't remember. Or I don't even know if they missed it. I don't know if I'm portraying this properly. Who knows? Who knows what it was? Yep. I do remember it happening, though.
Starting point is 00:41:56 I remember it was not a it was not the best look for the Cleveland Browns community. I thought it happened earlier, like before we were even alive. I think it happened. No, no, were even alive, I think it happened. No, no, no, no, no, no. You're thinking of Nickel Beer Night. Batteries and shit. There was another beer incident related in Cleveland where they used to sell all the beer for a nickel
Starting point is 00:42:18 at the stadium and there was some sort of riot that happened at that, at one of those games. I don't know whether that was Browns or Indians. How do we get the crowd more into the game? I think back then it was still the old municipal stadium where they shared the Indians and the Browns. Classic, yeah. This one was different.
Starting point is 00:42:36 This one definitely happened while we were live because I remember watching it. I remember it being insane. Yeah. Anyways, we're digressing significantly. Fans definitely ended up snowing snowballs at you guys as there are plenty of clips. Did any connect with you? Yeah, I got hit by a few. Nice. I was dodged. I was out there. Did it make it fun? Yeah. It's a snowball fight. How can you get upset at that? The only time I think you could get upset at it is if it's like in the middle of a catch and it distracts you in the middle of play. In the middle of play. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:43:09 Like that's the only time you can get upset at it. Like what? It won't get a little bit icy though and it hits you like while you're sitting on the bench. That could hurt. That could mess with you. That's good. Back of the head, yeah. I'm with you on that.
Starting point is 00:43:19 That might fire you up. They were already a riled up kind of disrespecting the shit out of everybody. I went to the court. I think I ran a corner and me and Pat didn't connect on it. And I was like running, trying to like slow down and got to the stands. And I just felt everybody's middle finger just right in my face.
Starting point is 00:43:37 I just, fuck you. That's gotta be so weird. With a few other words connected to the fuck you. But it was pretty good. It's good I enjoyed every bit of it man. Well the LeBron stat of the game chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes past Tom Brady for the most postseason victories and quarterback And a quarterbacks first seven seasons. That's right 13 wins postseason victories God dang it's been an incredible career to start for Patrick Mahomes.

Let's walk and go. That's a good idea. But yes, the LeBron stat. Thank you for our team for coming up with a good LeBron style. That's pretty good.

Starting point is 00:48:45 Taking on Buffalo? You were damn near one with Bill's Mafia. You were... Taking in Buffalo. Not taking on anything. Taking it in. We got to talk about it. How was it, man? It was incredible. I mean, honestly, one of the most fun experiences I've ever had from start to finish. It was the Buffalo bills mafia. I Do it's incredible. It's it was easily I mean we haven't been to a lot of tailgates I don't know the tailgate. I've been do is arrowhead great tailgate, but I mean dog gone man. It was an electric atmosphere
Starting point is 00:49:19 with the bill yeah, and I look like it was absolutely electric from the jump man you are You were tailgate were drinking out of bowling balls? Yeah, I mean, listen, we just got done, obviously, with a very grueling season in Philadelphia, mentally and physically. And, but in particular mentally, you're just worn out at the end of something like that. You know, you go on that type of losing streak extended and each and every week you come in
Starting point is 00:49:45 and you have energy and you're trying to figure things out and get everybody corrected. And I'm not gonna lie, man, that it wears on you and when it ends the way it did, it's there's no finality to it. And you know, you know that there's gonna be a lot of change. You know that it affects a lot of people's lives and that team. And, you know, this was an opportunity to honestly just go someplace and forget about
Starting point is 00:50:10 all that. Just go have fun and root on your brother. And, you know, I haven't had the opportunity to go to a game of yours in like two years now because of the Super Bowl and other circumstances. I was excited to go to Buffalo one to cheer you on, but also to experience the legendary Bill's mafia. So right away, I reached out to Ryan Fitzpatrick, former Bill's player and Fitz magic.
Starting point is 00:50:37 Fitz magic and Eric Wood and was like, you know, hey guys, what do I do? Where do I go and what do I do? Nice. Neither one of those guys are gonna steal your wrong. No, and I've met up with Eric Wood at Big Tree Inn, which for those of you that don't know, Big Tree Inn, awesome bar right next to the stadiums is iconic because apparently when Jim Kelly was there,
Starting point is 00:51:00 the guys would go, when it was two days, the guys would go to the big tree in, eat lunch, but have a few beers, and I forget the name of the coach at the time, but he used to complain about how bad the second practices were. So in order to stop. Why is everybody so much slower? In order to try and get those guys to stop boozing
Starting point is 00:51:19 in between practices, they would ship the food to the stadium. So they'd eat all the food at the stadium. But little did they know that in order to bypass it and still get a little bit of good stuff in them, they would put rumplements into the dressing containers. So it's still a thing. If you go to the bar and you order a house dressing,
Starting point is 00:51:41 they give you a shot of rumplements. That's pretty good. I thought that was so awesome. It's tradition, man. Yeah. But a bar that has been cemented, I think, and it's legendary status, certainly for Bill's mafia was a new experience for me. And I'm not gonna lie, man,
Starting point is 00:51:57 they made me feel fucking awesome at home. The fans, the big tree and everything was just incredible. That's awesome, man. We didn't get, I didn't get outside until later. I wanted to go outside early and I wanted to take my shirt off then and be out there because I feel like it's like, I don't know if I'm wrong in my head,
Starting point is 00:52:16 but I feel like taking your shirt off is like a Buffalo bills thing. No, 1000%. 1000%. And I'm like, dude, I want to, I want the full experience. It's magic is on, he,000%. 1,000%. And I'm like, dude, I want the full experience. Fitz Magic is on, he's helped grow that tradition. God, that's a legendary freaking moment with Fitz. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:32 But I wanted to take everything off and be out there with the fans. I didn't get to be outside very often. I only hit up a couple of tailgates, really walking into the stadium because it was a cluster. But I did get to see Pinto Ron's tailgate with the bowling ball. Did the shot out of the bowling ball, which... get to see Pinto Ron's tailgate with the bowling ball.
Starting point is 00:52:45 Did the shot out of the bowling ball, which- Pinto Ron, man. No idea what that liquor was. I didn't ask any questions. Somebody hindered your bowling ball with a shot. The last thing I'm like, oh, is this Crown Royal, or is this- What is this? What is this?
Starting point is 00:52:59 What is this again? As you hold it. What is this again? I'm not asking any questions. I did have to clarify how to drink this. I'm gonna do, I just put this up in my mouth and... Self-explanatory, Jason. It's a shot. It's right there in the hole.
Starting point is 00:53:14 But yeah, man, they're doing all sorts of crazy things over at Pinto Rounds. They got the filing box that they're making pizza in. They're cooking chicken on top of an old Pinto. So they got a, it's pretty, I don't know, shenanigans. shenanigans are full bore over there. Did you go through any tables? No, I was hoping I was gonna get an opportunity
Starting point is 00:53:37 and it just didn't arrive. Maybe next time, next time Buffalo. Wow. I was hoping, I was wishing. No tables though. No tables? No tables. There was one guy. They caught on fire, man I do I just saw the first time in a while It's been the first time in a while. We've seen one of those bills fans
Starting point is 00:53:53 To get caught on fire and he didn't do the first thing that you're supposed to do when you get caught on fire Oh, you learn it when you're a kid son. Look at him. Come on. You're over your patent. You're You're a kid, son. Look at him, come on. You're over your pad and you're, you're wasting it. The thing is, it's gonna get on the ice. This is the problem, this is the problem. He's got a lion's sweatshirt on. This isn't a bill, he's not, he's not privy to
Starting point is 00:54:13 what can happen. He's got a what shirt on? Lions. They tried to initiate him in. They tried to initiate him in. Oh my goodness. He was on the wrong side of the lake. Stop dropping roll, son. Especially the goodness. He was on the wrong side of the lake. Stop dropping Rolls, son.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Especially the snow right there. There's snow right there. It's right there to save you. Gosh. I would have been panicking to him like a lie. Ha ha ha. La la la la la. But that just shows you,
Starting point is 00:54:37 you gotta have a plan going in. He didn't think that this was possible. If you're gonna jump on some fire, you gotta know, hey, if this fire sticks onto me, I gotta figure out where am I going here? Where's the closest thing of water? Got to know where your exits are. Where's some soft snow so I can just sit this butt on in it? You go to the hard stuff. I mean, that's basically, you know, just concrete at that point. You got to find
Starting point is 00:54:56 some loose snow. It's going to engulf that butt. All right. So didn't go through a table. Didn't go through a table. No, didn't go through a table. Had a, you know, who knows how many beers over a big tree and then through the tailgate. Everybody was, dude, I don't know what I was expecting, but everybody was just, everybody's just beyond excited to have a good time and to enjoy some football.
Starting point is 00:55:17 This should be our fucking, our retirement plan. Just going to tailgates? Just tailgate every stay. Yeah, I mean, dude, I'll just to see how it's done. I'm sure I'm, you don't got to talk me into a good time. I mean, I'm in on that. Yeah. Kylie, I have something to say, but I'm, dude,
Starting point is 00:55:33 you know I'm in. Yeah, Kylie, well, yeah. She was at this one. She doesn't have to go to all, you know. You know, just. How does this compare to an Eagles or Chiefs tailgate? I've never tailgated. We can't compare.
Starting point is 00:55:47 I've never tailgated for the Eagles. The Chiefs tailgates are awesome. I've only been to a couple of them. The Eagles tailgates are fucking phenomenal. I'll tell you how this is a little bit different, at least from Chiefs tailgate, is this is like in the middle of like a residential area. There's houses, people are parking on like driveways.
Starting point is 00:56:02 It's like the Chiefs is out in like a completely separate part of the area. So it's all pretty much parking lot tailgating. This is, I don't know, it's just a little bit different. It feels like you're almost, you're in a suburb and you're tailgating for a enormous playoff game. So it's pretty cool. Got a very homie vibe to it.
Starting point is 00:56:20 And then I didn't, I'm sure the chiefs have some crazy traditions as well, but I was very much incorporated into a lot of crazy Buffalo Bills Mafia traditions and man, it was awesome. Well, you were rocking the big Yeti shirt going in. Did Mills, did somebody from Bills Mafia get that big Yeti shirt because you weren't wearing a shirt the entire game it looked like.
Starting point is 00:56:42 I don't know if I even brought that back. I can't remember what happened to this shirt if I'm being honest with you. I had two big Yeti shirts on. I had one big Yeti shirt on underneath, then I had a fleece, and then I had that big Yeti shirt on over top of it. So I was big Yeti'd out. I felt like it was a Yeti environment.
Starting point is 00:56:59 Here's what happened. I wanted to take my shirt off at the tailgate. And because we kind of got pushed back on the tailgate front, I didn't get to have my shirt off at the tailgate. And because we kind of got pushed back on the tailgate front, I didn't get to have my shirt off out there. And then when I entered the box, I noticed, hey, I can jump out of this box and I'll be outside.
Starting point is 00:57:14 And if I take my shirt off, then I'm outside and I'm part of the Buffalo Bill's pageantry. And it just, dude, it was something about the entire day I got caught up in the magic of Bill's mafia. It is electric. Everybody's the energy, the shenanigans. And I'm like, I gotta have my shirt off at some point. And I didn't get to do it beforehand.
Starting point is 00:57:39 And I'm like, okay, well, I guess, and I can't just take my shirt off in the box. Like who takes your shirt off on a box? It's heated, like you're not really doing it. Now you're just having your shirt off in a, yeah. Of course you are, real cool. So I'm like, this is what I'm gonna do. I'm taking my shirt off and I'm jumping out of this box.
Starting point is 00:57:57 So then I'm out of the box and I have my shirt off and then I can be like my Buffalo Bill's Mafia, like compadres. I had no idea. This is how my mind works after 40 Miller lights. I had a shot of who knows what the fuck out of the bowling ball. That's right, that's right. Well, let's get to more of you during the game.
Starting point is 00:58:18 You celebrated my touchdown by taking off your shirt, screaming, jumping out of the suite, chucking a beer with the fans, then jumping back into the suite. It's correct. This is all accurate. I watched this and it was pure pandemonium. Just pandemonium, just confusion of who to cheer for.
Starting point is 00:58:35 They was a chief's touchdown, but it looked like booze. There's a lot of booze. There's a lot of booze. There's a lot of cheers though, too. I think, I don't know, man. Tell you what, man, if you don't run for president, this all is just gonna go to waste. This is all just, it looks like a political campaign.
Starting point is 00:58:51 You're just throwing them in. Stop, stop, stop. One person at a time. There's nothing political about this. This is just a man in his elements with his Bill's Mafia compadres enjoying the dead of winter. That's what this is. I wish I would have stayed out there longer
Starting point is 00:59:04 to just, to actually get my nipples hard enough. You know what I mean? I wasn't out there long enough to really even get- Your thermostats could engage how cold they get. My thermostats didn't regulate to the temperature. They never got there. They kind of got shocked and just couldn't. Yeah, it was just a shock to the system.
Starting point is 00:59:20 It was nice. I'll tell you what, I jumped out of that box and I forgot that I've been dealing with an MCL sprain because the moment I landed my right foot and my knee twisted and luckily it's good. It's good, it was just a little. It did slip a little bit. Forgot that knee was a little loose.
Starting point is 00:59:36 So it's good old, let's go to old fucking hard working construction boots you had on. And Tim's got the butters on. And butters got some things saved the day. There was not enough cameras on the suite where you could see Kylie though. I wanted to see her reaction to all of this so bad. Yeah, I don't think she was happy about it, to be honest with you. There was one picture and it was her kind of smiling and laughing at it and kind of for it. Like, yeah, there's Jason. I just know he was like that scene out of fucking.
Starting point is 01:00:07 I'm not gonna lie, I gave Kylie a heads up. The moment we got into the suite, I said, I'm taking my shirt off and I'm jumping out of that suite. And she said, Jason, she said, Jason, don't you dare. And I was like, hey. See, I'm thinking, I'm thinking it's like that. I'm not asking for permission, I'm doing this. Once a Kelsey man's determined.
Starting point is 01:00:26 There's no fucking stopping him. And she was already telling me to be on my best behavior cause we were meeting Taylor. So she's like, do not be on your best behavior. I was like, Kylie, when I met you, the first day I met you, I was blacked out drunk and fell asleep at the bar. This is part of the charm. This is part of the Jason Kelsey charm.
Starting point is 01:00:41 I want to make my best first impression. I want to make my best first impression. This is my best chance. My best first impression is the worst impression ever. So I could just build from that point on. Set that bar nice and low. Exactly. That was classic. Oh man, well, Taysay, she absolutely loved you so much.
Starting point is 01:01:02 Well, I felt like it was a scene out of old school where Will Ferrell is fucking running. I got so many of those gems. We're going streaking! It's like, who, we're all going down to the quad. It's like, Frank, you and who? There's more coming. There's, Frank, get in the fucking car now.
Starting point is 01:01:24 If some of these bills mafia would have said we're going streaking, I would have, I was full in on the bills mafia. I would have been right there with you. You would have been running down in the second block like blink 182. All the small things. I just, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:01:38 I just got so caught up in everything. It's mesmerizing. So yeah, do I know anything else? It's pretty much it. She left me roses. Yeah, that's mesmerizing. So yeah, do you wanna know anything else? It's pretty much it. She laughed me roses. Yeah, that's all I got. Dude, honestly, I might get a picture. This picture, I might get this picture painted.
Starting point is 01:01:55 Which one? The one of you screaming out of the suite with a Miller light in your hand. That's a little bat blue, little bat blue. My bad, a little bat blue. I think that's part of the issue too. I was drinking one beer predominantly at the big tree inn and then you know like when you switch
Starting point is 01:02:11 from dark to browns and stuff like that. Yeah, it's not, no, you're right. It's ridiculous. It doesn't. They're all the same. Light beers are all the same. You're a Kelsey, you're a Kelsey. That kind of shit doesn't affect you, I don't.
Starting point is 01:02:20 Yeah dude, that picture is, I mean everybody's saying put that thing in the Louvre. I honestly, I might get somebody to fucking make that portrait. That is epic in a moment that I'll never forget, man. And I didn't even see it till afterwards. I obviously saw all of this after the game and I'm going, yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Going viral? Yeah. I saw everything. I was asked about it on the field and I'm like, I have no idea what my brother has been doing all game. And the reporter told me, I was just like, yeah, I don't know. You put us, you put us Lake Erie guys up by Lake Erie and there's just something to watch. That was another bit of it. Dude, we drove past Lake Erie in the dead of winter.
Starting point is 01:03:02 Dude. And it was like. They built it up for you. I'm back at the shores of where I grew up. I felt like that when we landed in Buffalo. I was like, God, I kind of feel like I'm back in Cleveland a little bit. Yeah, something about that lake, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:15 Well, shout out to Buffalo, man. You have to see some tweets that came out of this entire fiasco. The Feast of Bacchus by Phillips de conique Connick I ever want to say back in 19 or 1654 it looks like you got some chubby little fat guy Doing these I mean there's no this is uncanny. It's uncanny. It's pretty good. It's a pretty good side-by-side So apparently it's not the first person to do this.
Starting point is 01:03:49 Exactly. It's not the first person to show your boobs. Your former teammate Chris Long also tweeted, some people see this and think he must be retiring, but this is just regular Kelsey. Which is 100% true. I can't just do that. Jason has been doing this kind of stuff for years, for years upon years. All right. He just loves the game of football. All right. He loves the atmosphere, especially when you put him with a whole bunch of nutcases that love it just as much as he does.
Starting point is 01:04:23 Gosh, gosh, they're just the absolute epic, epic scene. All the guys on the team were talking about it after the game laughing at how much you were into it, man. And it was just, it was cool to see, dude. It was cool to see, man. Shout out to Chris Long. I know. Coach Reed also was asked about this clip
Starting point is 01:04:43 from you in the post- game interview. That's right He's in quotes saying my wife saw him shout out to mama read Tammy She looked she took a picture with him. I did shirtless pick with Tammy Reed I never thought that happened to be honest with you I was sitting I was standing at the front of the suite thinking about contemplating Should I jump back out of this thing and all of of a sudden I hear Kylie's got a whistle, like you're whistling for a taxi, so you can just whip that out.
Starting point is 01:05:08 And I look behind, she's like, coat Mrs. Reed, and I'm like, oh, okay. And then we got to chop it up a little bit, and it was awesome. I haven't seen Tammy in a minute, so it was great to catch up. Well, he gave you some other compliments telling everybody he's the best, great kid, great father.
Starting point is 01:05:24 That's the thing I'm most proud of. Great wife and kids. Got a little big red. All right, now, well, after the game, you tweeted an amazing quote from Ellie after she saw you on TV. I'm assuming this is a text from Lisa to Kylie. That's right.
Starting point is 01:05:40 Kylie's mom, yep, Lisa. Shout out to little Lisa. You want to make div? Yeah, Lisa sent that text to Kai and Kai showed me and I immediately thought it was hilarious. Dad's got his boobs out. Hey, snows out, hits out. That's the body you gotta live on. Got a boy. Got a lot of Elliot.
Starting point is 01:06:02 Apparently your antics at the game were so popular with these fans that there's already a bakery in Missouri making shirtless Jason cookie cakes and it's pretty good. This is pretty good. I'm not a cookie cake myself. What's a cookie cake? I think it's just a cookie the size of a cake. So it's a cookie.
Starting point is 01:06:20 It's like, I know what that is. I think I've seen those. Yeah, just a giant cookie. It's about to say, I know what that is. I think I've seen those. Yeah. Just a giant cookie. It's about to say it should be a rum cake, but yeah. Well, it's good artistry. It is. That is a, I mean, that's a pretty spot on. Yeah. Even got the already had like, you know, you got the Disney. That's disgusting.
Starting point is 01:06:40 You know how Disney has like their drawings that they just repurpose for other movies, but it's essentially the same drawing Do you know what I'm talking about? I mean, it's very accurate it's a very accurate belly trill They get treasure map that they've taken you right to the land just follow the trail Just follow the trail. You know like when places have templates of like common things that they do like Disney has like the bear template And it's been in like multiple movies, but it's always the same template. You know I'm talking about Yeah, yeah, I know just I I feel like this bakery probably in order to get out this quick
Starting point is 01:07:19 They probably already had like the Burke-Kreiser template. Oh then they just put my face on it. Yeah, I mean, I can see it. I can see it for sure. Shout out to Burton if that's what's going on. The machine himself. Yeah, Jason, final thoughts on your time in Buffalo, man. Like I said, it was a magical experience. It felt like I was like in a different world, right from the get-go when we landed
Starting point is 01:07:41 and we started driving past Lake Erie. I got that vibe. Like I was, you know, back in familiar territory. It's crazy. We had that same feeling, man. The moment I got out of the, at the tailgate and at the big tree in, I mean, it was just salt of the earth people that were ready to have a good time. And there's a little bit of back and forth, like there should be before a game,
Starting point is 01:08:02 but for the most part, everybody's just excited for playoff football. Nice. I'm glad you got that part of it because I definitely did not get that part. There was no back and forth like there should be before a game, but for the most part, everybody's just excited for playoff football. Nice. I'm glad you got that part of it because I definitely did not get that part. There was no back and forth. Well, I mean, I wasn't playing in the game. I don't think I think when you're playing, you're an innocent bystander. I could not say enough good things about Bill's mafia, the entire experience, the chaosness of it.
Starting point is 01:08:22 I don't know, man. It was like I was, I think a lot of it was almost like I was possessed in some ways. I feel like at this tailgate, I was possessed by Bill's mafia. Well, they were possessed by you too. Well, shout out to Bill's mafia, man. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:37 For making another, and shout out to Cheese Kingdom for showing up. Don't think I didn't hear you guys either, baby. We were loud and proud too, baby.

Player insights on the NFL storylines. Let's get this to the other divisional round matchups. Yeah, man. Some good football, baby.
Starting point is 01:11:18 There was. There's a lot of good football. Let's get to the first one was the Texans Ravens game in Baltimore. Obviously, you guys got Baltimore up next and the Ravens look good. Yes, they did man Boy, did they look good and they have looked good this entire end of the season This might be the hottest team in the NFL at this current line around right now, baby They won 34 to 10 over Houston this past weekend Lamar finished the game with a hundred and fifty two passing yards One hundred yards rushing and four total touchdowns. He was doing it all as usual. Big story of the game was probably the Ravens defense,
Starting point is 01:11:51 which has been stout all season long. They held the Houston offense that looked so good a week prior to just a field goal and didn't allow a single snap in the red zone. Damn. We also got a little CJ Stroud LeBron step. As a starter at Ohio State and in the NFL, CJ Stroud is 0-4 with teams coached by a Harbaugh
Starting point is 01:12:10 and 31-7 versus everybody else. That is definitely LeBronstadt, but we appreciate you adding that in there. Holy shit, that's, yeah shout out to LeBronstadt of the year, holy shit. That's crazy. The Ravens celebrated the victory in the locker room. The biggest takeaway was definitely coach Harbaugh's days Harbaugh getting jiggy man. I purposely haven't watched this because I knew we were gonna cover it. I gotta see this
Starting point is 01:12:36 Boy John getting jiggy man. I ain't gonna lie It was it was who's on the ox who's on the ox it was pretty lit. I don't know who's on the ox, but oh That is typical white guy moves right there dude, but electric moves. No, they're good. Listen. He's not Makes sense or not just do it. Just all about energy. Okay. He's doing the whip. He's doing the whip He's doing the Indiana Jones. I see a hard bar. Look at that. Now he's on the rodeo.
Starting point is 01:13:09 He's on to the cowboy. Hey, got the lasso. Now he's calling it out. That's right. Having some fun, man. I'll tell you what, man. It's electric. When in playoff games is electric, man.
Starting point is 01:13:22 It is. Very. It is so fucking electric. Not much to talk about, I mean, listen, CJ Stroud, incredible rookie campaign. You know, obviously didn't end with the final goal in mind, but I think that it ended on a note that everyone in Houston's damn sure proud of.
Starting point is 01:13:38 I don't think anybody anticipated Houston to compete like this in D'Amico Ryan's first year. Dude. What an incredible first run at it. And you know it's only- You have to look forward to over there. Yeah man, I can't wait to see what this kid and the rest of the Texans and D'Amico Ryan's
Starting point is 01:13:52 has in store for the future. An outstanding first year and the Ravens move on. Then on Saturday night, we got the pack versus 49ers in a game that was neck and neck going down to the final drive man. Niners pull off the win. 24-21, let's talk about those final minutes. With 6-21 left in the game, the Packers were up 21-17.
Starting point is 01:14:16 That's right, they were up four points and attempted a field goal to go up by seven, but kicker Anders Carlson. Probably European with a name like that. Unfortunately, he missed the 41 yarder, which, yeah, that sucks, man. When I was watching it, it felt like, I don't know if the snap was off or if the hold was off,
Starting point is 01:14:33 but it felt like it came out low. Holder did a good job of getting it up, but I feel like whenever that happens, it kind of messes with the kickers a little bit. Maybe I'm remembering this wrong. He's had a case of missing them before. Oh, that's fair. I will say the weather was awful.
Starting point is 01:14:51 Absolutely terrible, all game long. You saw the effect Brock Purdy through the first three quarters until the end where he just was lights out that fourth quarter. But yeah, it was a rough kick to end the game on. Yeah, that hurt, that hurt your soul, man, because the Packers were playing great. Obviously, the 49ers were being the 49ers and playing out just hard nose, tough fucking football, man. Their defense is solid as any defense in the fucking league right now.
Starting point is 01:15:16 Packers are doing a good job in between the 20s. They were getting into the red zone very well, where they really struggle for the Packers or the red zone. Jordan Love was playing playing great man. One of the things that the 4-9ers do better than anybody is keep keep you out of the end zone and Packers had a decent day in the regular ball situations. Aaron Jones had a really big run that was nice but. Dude what a stud man. I love I love watching that dude play football man.. He just could not get it in the end zone. Hey, Joe, that dude could run the fucking ball. He's just get the ball in that dude's hands
Starting point is 01:15:51 and something good's gonna happen, man. Even when it's not open, he was making plays that he left him right. He was making shit happen. Purdy, as we said, struggled, obviously. Everybody's been talking about that in the first three quarters. Part of that's the environment. The rain was brutal.
Starting point is 01:16:02 You could see it all over the broadcast. Yeah. but yeah He turned it on when he needed it most pretty man pretty good at the end of the game needed a score put together an incredible drive and Got it done. Well a lot of a part of the a part of a few of those drives I mean just get the ball to George Kittle, baby It's as easy as that, you know when they're in man-to-man coverage you find Kittle, baby. It's as easy as that. When they're in man to man coverage, you find A-5, baby. He's playing lights out football right now.
Starting point is 01:16:28 Again, great end of the season by the Green Bay Packers. Obviously the seventh seed looked really good in the postseason, weren't able to get it done in the clutch here against the number one seed in the NFC, the San Francisco 49ers. But Jordan Love, again, a lot of optimism going out there in Green Bay right now. Incredible end of the season. Just came up a little short.
Starting point is 01:16:50 It's football for you, bub. And then the last game we got is a Sunday afternoon. This is the game we were watching at the Big Tree Inn, which was the Bucks versus the Lions. Lions got it done at home. That's right, winning 31 to 23. Byton kneecaps, baby. Little Ford field action. Byton kneecaps baby. Little Ford field action.
Starting point is 01:17:05 Byton kneecaps on their way to NSE title game. Yes they are. It is not the same old lines. Jared golfed through for 287 yards, two touchdowns, and he went 11 for 12 with 131 yards in a touchdown in the most important quarter of all, the fourth quarter. Ricky running back, Jameer Gibbs finished with 114 yards from scrimmage and one rushing touchdown.
Starting point is 01:17:28 He had himself a big day behind a Lions offensive line that has been spectacular all year. Their offensive coordinator, Ben Johnson. Yeah. Ben Johnson and that offensive line has been an incredible combination there. I think Hank Fraley is the offensive line coach out there, but they're doing so many good things
Starting point is 01:17:46 on the ground right now. Yeah, there's a little bit of, I guess the big story from this one, besides it being a close game, a lot of back and forth early, lines went ahead, two scores, Baker and the Bucks started coming back. There was a little bit of clock mishap
Starting point is 01:18:00 at the end of the game it looked like that everybody's talking about that maybe we can touch on. Which brings, do you wanna say it or do you want me to say it? Oh, fucking, I think you were spot on with it. When we were talking about it earlier, this is what I think, yeah. The Bucks had one time out going into this last drive
Starting point is 01:18:20 for the Lions. Todd knew it didn't matter if he used his last time out going into those last kneel downs. Even if he would have called the time out during one of those previous snaps, they would have still been able to have enough time to run the clock out. The problem is the Lions actually messed up.
Starting point is 01:18:38 It looks like the Lions snapped the ball early a few times and Todd could have used that last time out after that third down. Like a pun and a chance, but you would have had a chance. It's tough, which is kind of, is that a strategy? Because here's what happens. A lot of times I feel you take that first kneel down and the other team has a time out, you're waiting to see if they use that time out. And then if they don't use the time out, sometimes you just say like, hey,
Starting point is 01:19:04 I guess they're not, they're conceding, the game's over, they're not gonna call a timeout. Yeah, so then you just hurry up and just need it when you got less than 40 seconds left, yeah. Exactly. So that would be- That's the only thing that makes sense in my head. And maybe this is a strategy moving forward.
Starting point is 01:19:18 That move only works once. That move only works once in the line. But maybe that's a strategy moving forward is, hey, if you have one timeout, hold it, hope that the opposing offense just kind of rushes the snaps along to get the game over with, boom, time out. And then all of a sudden it's fourth down
Starting point is 01:19:33 and you got 30 seconds left on the clock. That's the only thing that makes sense in my head. Otherwise you wouldn't call it time out. But it also makes sense why Todd might have kind of tuned, turned it off at that point because you think the game is over with how much time they did have. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:48 All right, anyways, they didn't and the Lions won. Not right now. It was a great job by the Lions offensively and defensively. They're peaking right now. This is gonna be an outstanding game, Lions versus 49ers in San Fran. I'm excited to watch that one, that's for Dane Scher.
Starting point is 01:20:03 It'll be a fucking instant classic man Those are just flying around defenses just high-energy defenses physical defenses. No doubt those Lions are playing fucking great Man, I think it's a different ballgame Hopefully they can get Debo back and Debo can play no question because I was a piece dude He is such a big piece of that offense man A guy that can get the ball and fucking take it to the house at any moment. When you're playing a big physical team like that, you gotta have your tough guys out there, man.
Starting point is 01:20:31 And Debo's definitely one of those guys that can bring the fucking toughness. Not only does he bring toughness, but he's such a, he's a joker. Like he's a receiver, he's an H back, he's a running back. Because he can do so many things. He gets physical in the run game.
Starting point is 01:20:44 Between him and Kyle, use check. North East Ohio football player. Those are the guys, in my opinion, I mean, George, don't get me wrong, all these other guys are, George Kettle's, yeah, he's a beast. He is the Joe. He is the Joe. But, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:20:57 These pieces where Shanahan, who's creative is all get out, can all of a sudden get to all of these different formations, something that looks like your single back, all of a sudden it's a two back run essentially, all of a sudden you're getting into a jet sweep out of a formation that doesn't look like it. You get to all of these things with a guy like Debo
Starting point is 01:21:17 and Kyle Youscheck and all of these pieces in between that really makes the run game go, it makes the play action go. There's a lot of unique things for them, besides both of them and Debo in particular just being phenomenal players. Yeah, well it's gonna be a, it's gonna be like championship Sunday, baby.
Starting point is 01:21:36 So yeah, we'll see what happens on that front. Have they said anything? Have they said anything about Debo? I think he's gonna, I'm pretty sure he's gonna play. I mean, it's Debo. What happened? Cause he went out there for warm ups. I knew it was something shoulder.
Starting point is 01:21:49 I think he's been dealing with something ACYs all year. Gotcha. Let's get some no dumb questions, Trev. Now that we've wrapped up the division arounds. Time to answer some not dumb questions because there's no such thing as dumb questions. Just dumb ass people. No dumb questions is brought to you by our friends at Buffalo Wild Wings. Let's go sports bar!
Starting point is 01:22:08 Damn, I almost clapped my mic off of the fucking table. All right, let's start this thing off. Sarcasm idol name on Twitter. New Heights show Will Jason play in the Pro Bowl this year? No dumb questions. Yeah, unfortunately, I will. Well, whatever that means, because there's obviously no more Pro Bowl game. I don't know, I guess I know that they do
Starting point is 01:22:32 the seven on seven flag football game. I don't know if I have to snap for that. I guess you do have a snapper in seven on seven, but sometimes they just have like a guy throw the ball at the quarterback, which I would defer, rather than have to bend over and snap the ball for no reason. I would just love to see one down in seven on seven. Both teams have to have the entire line of field of offensive and defensive linemen.
Starting point is 01:22:57 I agree. And there's actually, have you ever seen the walking football clips online? The worst. I fucking hate that shit. I think it's hilarious, but it would be funny if it was O-line D-line walking football. No? So dumb. You don't like it? I like big guys trying to be athletes, not big guys being themselves. They could be way better, way more... ...entertaining, with them actually trying......prepensive, and then entertaining with, yeah, with O-line men trying to backpedal and run routes. I think some of these juke moves in walking football are pretty electric. No, they're not.
Starting point is 01:23:27 It's kind of a different level of deception. Used to do it in college a little bit, have some fun with the game. Did you? I never, see, I never did it. We only did this, I only started seeing this recently. If you're playing around, cool. If you're actually like playing a competitive game, it's not cool. Because you can't, you can't judge how fast somebody's running or walking like, oh, you ran. No. Precision passing, best catch, kick, tack, toe. No, you probably can't kick you there. Closest to the pin. Ooh, they moved away from the longest drive and went closest to the pin.
Starting point is 01:23:59 Obscical course relay race. That'll probably be your event right there. Obscical course relay race. I think probably be your event right there. Obstacle course relay race. I think I did this one year and there was like a little bit of slickness on the turf, but I do remember doing that. Yeah, dodgeball I can't do because my elbow doesn't work anymore. I've had surgeries. Can you not throw the ball with your left? I definitely, I can't do anything left handed.
Starting point is 01:24:19 I am. Oh, okay. So not ambidextrous, it's ridiculous. Yeah. Yeah, dodgeball, I wish I could play, it was my favorite sport playing growing up, but I have officially, physically, just cannot do it anymore.
Starting point is 01:24:31 Precision passing, I could definitely do that. Best catch, I did in the backyard, I used to have some pretty electric catches. Dude, you got better hands than me for sure. But that was before my fingers stopped. Yeah, nine fingers now though, yeah. Kick, tack, toe, I don't think, I think if I punnable right now, I might explode my knees, so I'm probably out on that.
Starting point is 01:24:48 It's place kicking, but same thing. Tug of war. I think tug of war I'm probably doing, but I'm gonna offer minimal advantage, unfortunately. Can't grab the rope. And then closest to the pin contest, I mean, I'll do that, but I'm gonna be terrible at it. And then obstacle course relay race.
Starting point is 01:25:07 I'm in, let's do it. The event called high stakes when players have to catch balls and launch high into the air from a jugs machine. So it's like the, like a punt return. How many punt return or how many catches can you get? The twist and high stakes. I remember they did it with like dropping it from a drone a few years ago.
Starting point is 01:25:24 I remember that one. Yeah, it didn't work out as well. Took a little too long. So I think they did it with like dropping it from a drone a few years ago. I remember that one. Yeah, it didn't work out as well. Took a little too long. So I think they're just going to do jugs. How many guys can how many footballs can you catch? So this is probably like a punt returner deal. So you're not in that one. The twist, high stakes is that each player starts.
Starting point is 01:25:39 But to have a skill player do it and a big do it. That'd be electric to watch. That's right. I think I just think you should have categories and have the big guys do all of and a big do it. That'd be electric to watch. That's right, I just think you should have categories and have the big guys do all of them. You gotta do it. Who doesn't like watching the big guys do all of this other stuff too?
Starting point is 01:25:53 Yeah, I'm with you, I'm with you. You have the, we have the skill. We have the skill, we have the weight class. And then you just have the big guys try all the competitions and you get to laugh at how unathletic a lot of offensive linemen and defensive linemen actually it's not impressive watching punt returners catch fucking punts. Okay. It's what they do watching 300 pounders. That's right.
Starting point is 01:26:14 Punter turns. That's right. Yeah. Somebody's taking one to the dome. To the face. Turn the face. Turn the face. In the face. Alrighty, let's move on. Alright, from Crash 78 on Club 92, what the hell happened to Travis's hand on the last episode? It looks like his hand is all scratched up. Yeah, I got cleated. I got stepped on.
Starting point is 01:26:38 It still doesn't see a little bit from it. It's a little bit of the scabs and stuff. That happened during the Miami game. What kind of cleat was the guy wearing? football cleat Doesn't look like an imprint that a cleat would leave Doesn't know there's a lot of like red dots it looks more like Just went right here on my hand 100%
Starting point is 01:27:05 All right, that looks more, I can see that. That picture, though, there's a lot of little red dots. Well, yeah. See people, there's no such thing as dumb questions. There's just dumb ass people. They sure like homes, might want some more. Me and Basil will go try and figure out what really happened. That doesn't for no dumb questions, brought to you by Buffalo Wild Wings. Let's go, Sports

Divisional Round Stamp of the Week edition. New Heights Stamp of the Week is brought to you
Starting point is 01:27:53 by our friends at Accelerator. I'm on that little tropical punch right now. Boy, it's good. Accelerator Active Energy Drink is available on Amazon. You can catch it on your Amazon. Hell yeah. All right, hell yeah. My new high sample, I'm gonna go with a guy
Starting point is 01:28:10 that's been playing great football all year round. The entire line has, and it's been a great team to watch, and they're still playing. That's Lion's Center, Frank Ragnow. He's been playing through multiple injuries all season, and he showed up on the injury report, and he just keeps on chugging along and he showed up big and the Lions win over the Bucks didn't miss an offensive snap. Went toe to toe with Vita Vaya, which I can tell you firsthand is really hard.
Starting point is 01:28:35 No, right now. Help block for the Lions team that rest for 114 yards and two touchdowns while adding 277 yards and two touchdowns through the air. Dan Campbell had all sorts of praise for Frank. Frank's a stud, that's what he does. He's willing to put it all on the line. He believes he can. And he trusts himself and he trusts those guys next to him.
Starting point is 01:28:54 Not everybody can do it and that's okay, but he can. David, Frank's incredible. He's been a great center in the league for a long time and he's rebounded from injury that sent him back a couple of years ago. Pretty damn well. So shout out to my man Ragnar and the Detroit Lions. Well, hold on now, we ain't going too far, man.
Starting point is 01:29:11 The team that was least expected to be here, the Detroit Lions, I'm sticking with the Lions too. Oh, when I'm done. The linebacker, the game winner, the sealer, the closers, they may say, and a very heartwarming story from our Walter Payton man of the year last year in Whitworth.
Starting point is 01:29:28 Limbacker Derek Barnes sealed the win for the Lions after picking off of Baker Mayfield on the Bucks final drive of the game with just over 90 seconds left to play. This was Derek Barnes first career interception. How about that? And a feel good story, like I said, Andrew Whitworth mentioning in his speech how he's, I think it was Derek Barnes came up to him and mentioned how when he was a kid. That's him?
Starting point is 01:29:56 Whitworth, that's him, dude. Oh my gosh, I remember that, yeah. Taking your game to new heights. So he was, he mentioned how Derek came up to Andrew Whitworth and mentioned how his story or how him being in the community helped Derek through through life and and definitely made an impact on him. So it was cool to see almost everything come full circle and how Derek Barnes just catapulted his Lions team into the NFC championship game. So shout out to Derek, man, for taking your game
Starting point is 01:30:25 to New Heights. Shout out to Ragnar too, man. Lions, the least expected to be here right now, but man, they're really taking their game to New Heights. Like we said before, man, can't wait to watch all the games this week and good luck, Traff. You know it, baby. That wraps it up.
