especially if you're not going anywhere. Got out the house. We'll talk position swaps and get into a deep dive into coaching. But first, new news! New news! So we have finally regained our number one spot in the sports podcast world in Apple and have also regained

it in Spotify. Thanks to all of you. Win the best. Yeah. Thank you guys. You guys are the best. It's pretty remarkable. I can't believe that we're back up at the top, but man, it feels good.

Man, it feels good. It even feels better when you win and you're at the top. That's right. You know what I mean? Absolutely. You don't know what I mean. at the top. That's right. You know what I mean? Absolutely. You don't know what I mean. You never lost. That's a good point.

Well, more importantly, we also got a nice little shout out from Dewey the rock Johnson, which not gonna lie, never thought I would be someone that would converse. And actually I didn't converse with him. He just tweeted at us. Yeah. Really, I never thought my name would come out of the rock in Verbige or text So that was probably a highlight of my even believe it was real when we told you I did not it's crazy

Very skeptical. We're living in a fantasy world everyone. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's it is crazy when someone of that status can instantly within a few seconds say something to somebody and it like changes it changes your perception. Yeah, I don't want 100% It's pretty cool. I was like sitting there for the next like 10 15 minutes trying to like forget what I'm like to say back. I know. Yeah. I gave up. I didn't say anything back. I was like, I'm just gonna, I'm not gonna realize this.

I'm gonna keep this internal. You gotta, you gotta, you gotta say what they said though. What do you say? Oh yeah, they said, my Kelsey boys, T Kelsey at T Kelsey at Jason Kelsey, two bad dudes in the game.

No Burger King hands here my brothers. All I got are two fucked up, callous T-Rex hands for the culture. Crying, laughing, emoji face. Much respect always and good seeing you, Travis, at the S-Gooz. It's always cool running into him. I mean, I... You know everybody. Dude. How do you know all these people?

Because I actually leave the house. You you know the rock I leave the house Jason You have to leave the house you saw that you met a bunch of people this past week because you left the house How about that? How about that? Oh, you got to do the people at least that house It's good to know well Yeah, put on that game day fit and get out there man. So yeah, he uh Thank you for clarifying the rock Pretty awesome. Thank you much respect I guess we should explain the birken hands are it sounds like people are a little unsure

Maybe they missed that ad campaign from a few years back There's all ad campaign that burgundy was running to emphasize how big the whopper was and they did so by saying it made people's hands look small. And in the bodybuilding community, I feel like a lot of people use machine-based exercises. So that was the joke there was that they've never worked on their hands. And people that are really actually functionally strong, usually have big forearms, strong hands,

callous hands, fingers that don't work. Yeah. It's got to be you guys probably had no idea this guy's out here playing football with nine fingers. Well, still it still goes there. It just doesn't close at that level. Go there, but not they can't do it can't do that Can't do that Got nothing from that knuckle down. So how do you you tape them?

You're walking around with the digital lens. You can buy as your markable for a couple of years. I had to close my fist like this And to go like that. But eventually you're you're used to it. So if you were to punch somebody right now, would it hurt you more of them? Well, you're not supposed to punch with these two knuckles. It's a good lesson for you. These two knuckles, you'll get a you'll get a boxing fracture right there. Five minute torso. I don't even know if that's right, but always it with these two novels. Nice. All right. All right. The Rock officially member the New Heights crew. Speaking of, do we have a name for our fans yet? Is there a... I think we have to... I think we have to come up with one. Do we come up with one? They come up with one. I'll tell you what, we'll take all the suggestions that you guys got.

Do you have any suggestions? Unless... Do you have anything that comes in like, New Heights Crews Good? New Heights, I'm not this creative on the spot. Yeah, I usually just go to the source. New Heights congregation, that makes it sound too serious. It's way too serious.

Listeners, obviously that's like two. New Heights. Kind of just like Gary.. What else we got? New Heights, New Heights lurkers, they're lurking. No, no, that makes this sound creepy. Yeah. The New Heights gathering. Man, you're on a roll, but none of these are working. All right. I'm literally just reading the source.com for fans. That's usually how I come up with everything. Um, high tiles.

The high tiles. We're both family. Yeah, we're in your house. All right now. All right, whatever you guys will be much more creative. Please, please help us out. Yeah, please come up with a good name for all our fans. Me and fans, we got our fan mentions of the week.

Nice. We do love these comments, by the way. So please keep, keep them coming. And we got a few this week. So here we got one from C-SUN, 555 on Instagram. If your football positions were switched, who would be better in their role?

This is a no-brainer. I'm 100%. You can go ahead. All right, so Jason's already 250 pounds. I would easily be able to hold my own in the middle of the whole line. Playing guards, not so much tackled. Can't handle those athletes, but I can, because you're not necessarily the strongest guy,

but you're very tricky. And that's where I think I'm tricky. I'm tricky when I block it. Keep hands off me more than I'm fighting it. You would get me destroyed. You tried to line up a place center a little bit. Maybe if you took a year to put a little bit of weight on it and develop that technique. I just do the Jason Kelsey gain weight.

I'm saying if we switch right now, you think you can go snap of all block a 300 and a figure pound nose guard. It would have to take for me to get on the Jason Kelsey gain weight plan where you just drink a keg of beer every week and eat pizzas and I would have to gain some weight. I would have to gain some weight. I would have to get up to, what are you right now? 270, 280, 293.

290. Yeah. Woo. Muscle does weigh more than fat. There we go. Fat and muscle weigh more than tight ends. Too shay. I think this is definitely a no brainer Jason.

Jason's such a good athlete. I have everyone's already seen him out in space. I can't get a ball. I'm not. I tried to play tight end. Good nine fingers, man. I know. I tried playing tight end before I ran a deep out.

I don't even know if that's please tell. Oh my god. 15 years old film. It's all told me that we'll actually I don't know if it's up before the Jets game. 15 years out. 15 years out. Huh? Please tell me that. Well, actually, I don't know if it's up. Before the Jets game, let's see, Carson was still in Philadelphia, in fourth preseason game. I went out there, ran some routes, ran a 15 hour and filled out.

Like, I'm like, okay, I can't do this anymore. What? But here's why it's me. I would be better is because you can hide a tight end. They can't catch the ball. There's a lot of tight ends in the NFL. There aren't great catchers. We can call some blocking plays. We can call some outside zones right at the point of attack. I can set that point really well. There's nothing you can call if somebody's gonna line up in a bear front and put a three inch and 50 bottom those guard over.

I'll tell you. There's going to ruin the game. There's one online. There's a there's one alignment amongst the five that you can hide. Center would be the one. Uh, I would agree with that. All right. Yeah. I mean, you can do stuff at tackle. They can do chips and, and thumbs and things like that, which can help out for sure. Yeah. And, or you could just, you don't get any chipper sounds. That, well, if it's a five down front, it's man-all-day.

Yeah, but against who? A guy that can't move. Uh, I wish that was the case. That's the way it was when I first got in the league. And then around four or five years ago, defense, going to say, I thought we start putting like better past wrestlers at this spot. And then it got real hard. So, um, but you guys don't see a lot of five down for unsuitable. Pat. And well, you say a little bit more this year. Now that time, it's not there. So I shouldn't say that. Yeah, we're getting a little bit more this year. Now that time, Rick's not there. So I shouldn't say that.

Yeah, we're getting a little bit more variety of defenses, but we'll see how that lasts. Yeah. All right, well, so I think we both agree. I'd be better at Titan, Travis would not do very well. I'm a fair question there. All right, second question from Sir Dred. Sir Dred?

Time out first, well, that's a great nickname. That's a great nickname. On Twitter, what is the weirdest thing you guys Dread. A surgery. Time out first. Well, that's a great nickname. That's a great nickname. On Twitter, what is the weirdest thing you guys have autographed? Hmm. Um, I don't really have anything that weird. I mean, I guess like a golf ball, a baseball. Yeah.

Uh, Yeah, no, I've been asked. Nothing's coming to my mind. I've been asked to sign the sign shoe a baby. But that's pretty weird. And I always make jokes when kids come and say, Hey, can you sign my arm?

Like, I got to get parental consent, but the parent was the one that actually asked me to sign their baby. So I had a baby. I didn't sign them. I did not put Sharpie on a baby.

I said, mage, sorry, I can't do this. So you refused the baby. Yeah. If that baby would have went to the hospital, I would have felt extremely big. What would have gone to the hospital? I don't know. Like it's hand, like it's arm.

I don't know. Isn't ink bad for you? And Sharpie bad for skin? I don't know. I don't think it would have gone to the hospital. At that point, you're a dad. You should know these kind of things. Okay, I am a dad.

And my babies have ingested lots of things way worse than cherry. You're killing it, dad. You're you're still in this phase of like, oh, babies are like immaculate creatures that like, and this is what all new fathers go through. The first baby, you drop the pacifier on the ground and you got to pick it up, put it in boiling water, make sure it's completely sanitary before you put it back into kids mouth. You know what happens now with Elliott and no, there ain't no 10 second rule. That thing could be under the couch living its life. If she's crying, I'm picking it up, giving it the wipe off and it's going right in the mouth.

All right. All right. So you say, I'll sign a baby. Give me a baby. All right. All right. So you say so I'll sign a baby. Give me a baby. I'll know. No, no, no. Because I see this entire time I'm thinking I'm doing the right thing. And now I just I'm an asshole. I'm an asshole for not signing that baby. Yeah, you're. Yep. The ref looked like he asked Mike Evans for an autograph this week after the game. The NFL has the night. Mike Evans for an autograph this week after the game. The NFL has denied. That was definitely an autograph for Chris. You think so? I mean, let's open it up.

I don't even see this. It was in the tunnel after the game went up to him. Like I'm gonna watch it for a while. I'm gonna watch it for a while. I'm sure it was for a friend or a family member. I think the end was taken down. I'm gonna try to get rid of this. I'm gonna try to get rid of the video evidence.

Yeah. No, I don't wanna buy your ads in BC. If a ref ever came up to you after a game and asked you to sign something for him. Travis, I just said I'd sign a baby. Of course I'd sign something for a referee. Go, baby. All right.

We heard. Third comment is from Donna Kelsey. At D. Kelsey one, I think I know this person. Mom, what was your most memorable dare in high school? Man, this was- I only. It was good if you were there. Yeah, I mean, but that's, yeah.

I mean, you might as well go and it definitely tees up this story for sure. I don't, I wasn't much of a dare devil. I think Jason kind of jumped to jump to into things. No, I wasn't even a dare. It was like, uh, uh, she's referencing when I was in high school in middle school, the show Jackass, it just got like really popular. So like, when I was a freshman, they were filming this whole like a bunch of clips that would show seniors were the seniors are doing it and they were using a lot of freshman. Here's a class project.

I don't think so. I think this is just for fun, but they were using freshmen to do a lot of shenanigans, get it on tape for laughs and they asked me if I wouldn't mind getting some breakaway sweatpants and swimsuit underneath tear the sweatpants off and then jump into a trash can like I was a diver. This is a notorious stand up say can't a ball jump get stuck in the trash can trash can tips over and right away mysteries security can we please get this guy out of here which I don't know that I don't think that's a that was one hundred percent of dare well no but I'm saying what am I getting even to get in trouble for that for it it wasn't like I was naked disturbing the piece.

It was a social, it was like a cafeteria. It was the social room. It was the social room of the cafeteria. Yeah. I mean, what did you do? I don't even remember. I know, I, yeah, I got like a harsh, don't you do that again? Don't you jump in a trash cans?

We're talking about. I was confused then why I got into like kind of trouble. And then I don't know. There are a lot of other things I did. Definitely deserve to get into trouble for. Anyways, thanks mom. Thanks everyone for the comments and questions. Keep coming. To all the high school kids out there,

we don't need to be jumping in any trash cans with any scuba gear on. So. Yeah, well, hey, listen, if you're in high school, I feel like that's an appropriate level of like pushing the boundaries, all right? There, yeah, you can't just be a goody to choose, you know what I mean? You've got to, you always got to push the line just a little bit, push the envelope just a little bit.

If my son, the worst thing he does in high school is jumping to a trash can, I'm thinking the Lord. That's not the worst thing you did in high school. Either way, thank you guys for the comments. Yeah, thank you. Keep in comment, baby. Keep in comment. We love them.

Moving on to 12 bold topics of week seven in the NFL. This is how it it goes Jason tees him up about my game and since Jason didn't have a game in week seven I'll tee it up on what his by-week was looking like. Yeah. So go ahead and jump assault brother. All right brother, back in the wind column. Ha ha! Chiefs over the Niners.

Niners have been playing really good too. Just had a blockbuster trade. Yeah. So a lot of things have been looking up. I was very curious to see how this game went. And I followed on my phone because I was at the Philly's playoff game. But, um, yeah, offense went crazy. Put up 44 on what I think going into that game was the number one ranked defense in the NFL. I know it was up there. It was up there.

Yeah, based on DVOA, six best offensive game in modern history. Wow. You know the number one offensive game of my life. I do because I'm reading the same prancer that you are. This is my section. Why are you reading my section? Go ahead and tell everybody who the number one. Well, why don't you stack like you know it. Kansas City Chiefs versus the Cleveland Browns,

who's homecoming for me. And we had the best offensive game. I remember that. I remember the game. I remember that. I was at that game. You were at that game. Yeah.

You saw the best offensive game. That was cool. We were on fire. Pat, my home was was slinging it around to everyone. I think Kareem Hunn also. Kareem Hunn! Kareem Hunn! Kareem Hunn! Kareem Hunn! Kareem Hunn! Kareem Hunn! Kareem Hunn! I think Karim Hunt also. Karim Hunt! Karim Hunt! Cleveland native Northease Ohio. I was not saying that.

He was running all over the place. Also had a touchdown in the screen game. I think that's why Cleveland ended up acquiring him, probably, is because he was a monster in that game. 100%. He was untouchable that game. But similar to this 49ers game, Pat was down in. He was dialed in. He was also spreading it around to everyone.

Everyone got a piece of the pie to this past game, Mark Weiz. I don't know. He was dialed in. He was also spreading it around to everyone. Everyone got a piece of the pie. To this past game, Mark Weiz, I think he had 111, often like three or four catches receiving and on top of that, Juju Smith Schuster, my dog Juju went bananas as Pat McAfee would say, bananas. And shout out to Pat McAfee show. And it's funNESS! And shout out to the Pat McAfee show.

And it's fun, man. When everyone gets a piece of it, I mean, Nicole Hardman, three touchdowns off a couple carries and a jet sweep that counted as a pass. When everybody gets a piece of the pie, might have counted as a pass, because it's a little forward touch pass. Quick thing hits faster,

it's like a one yard in front of him. Just nice. But I mean, hats off to the 49ers. They're obviously a great team. Very well coached team in Shanahan and Domingo Ryan. I think Domingo Ryan will end up being a head coach in this league. I sure hope so.

1000%. Domingo play with the Philadelphia Eagles for everyone that is not aware. He was our starting middle linebacker for, oh man, I hope I don't get this wrong. I mean, for four years or three years, but he was a staple for that team for sure. He was a captain and I mean, honestly, it's not a shock to see him succeed in the coaching realm. He was that guy that was the coach on the field. You know, he was a huge leader for us in his time in Philadelphia. And what he's extremely well respected. What he's done in Philadelphia is he's kind of tweaked that cover three.

I'm not bad. What he's done in San Franis is he's kind of tweaked that cover three that came from the Gus Bradley Seattle three. He's playing a lot more shell, a lot more variations. Blitz is a little bit more plays a little bit more man. And I mean, it's more of a junk ball than what you would typically get out of that kind of defense. And he's had him at the top of the charts. But I think Coach Reed came in with an unbelievable game plan. Can't just throw it on Coach Reed.

Matt Nagy is one of my favorite coaches of all time. Yeah. Absolutely. Love that guy to death. Since he's been in the building, just the understanding of how he teaches the past game and how he teaches a lot of the third down stuff, a lot of the red zone stuff,

just makes it so much more clear for guys to understand what's the intentions of this play. Yeah. And it makes it way more easier on us to go out there and actually run the play at how it's supposed to be designed. And you throw in B&M as well as Coach Heck with the run game. And it was just all around. We knew we had a lot of confidence going into that game to be able to tear up that defense. And all we had to do was just bring the energy.

Coach Hackman, he got me fired up. We always have a meeting with the offensive line tight ends or running backs the night before. And he said, you know what, make this game personal. And not necessarily make it personal against for the guys across the ball. If you didn't like what you put on film last time, put all of it right here on your heart.

And you go out there and you put something on film that you can be proud of. And take it one play at a time. Do that every single play, play your tail off and put something on film that you'd be proud of. And it's just in register because I don't think when we were playing against the bills, we played with as much heart as much aggression the entire course of the game.

You know, there were spots, the points of the game that you could feel in, but at the same time, the San Fran game, the whole time, it just felt like the energy was up. The communication was high. The demeanor of the team was full throttle. Keep the foot on the pedal the whole time. And that's when we're flying around doing that offensively with the O-line playing their tail off, finishing guys down field, getting a part of the piles and not letting just guys rally to the ball and get a late hit.

That kind of stuff you just feed off of that kind of energy. Right. And when I tell you, it was one play after another, and we, you know, we might, we had the pick early, but that's that's an intersection that we can clean up. It got kind of tipped in the air a little bit. And our young receiver sky more, he's going to be a stud, man. I can't wait to see him to just keep growing, keep growing because he's electric when he has the ball in his hands. We just gotta keep finding ways to get in there. Yeah, and I mean, I think, you know,

yeah, it doesn't sound like anything crazy what you said, Aidee's ex said or coach ex. Yeah. But sometimes you just need those little reminders and the best coaches and the best leaders end up feeling that, right? Yeah. And it's like, okay, we're overthinking this. We are getting too

far ahead of ourselves. Everybody just focus on your job, focus on each play dominating your matchup, taking it personal. I mean that's a sometimes those little reminders make all the difference. All the way good. And especially night before I'm a big fan of the night before meetings. Because don't peak too soon now. Yeah well I mean I mean, the gate, I can get you fired up for sure. Yeah. But I don't even think it's so much about firing up. I think it's honestly what you're thinking about before you go to bed. Like I really feel like a lot of times what I visualize happening the next day before I go to sleep ends up almost coming true. You are your source of it.

I think so. Are you? No, I just like, you like, I think when you've visual obviously not like specific, but when you visualize things the night before and you like go to sleep on that, like if you visualizing yourself, you know, taking it one play time, you visualize yourself, like, you know like picking ball carries out, running to the ball, doing all these things right before you go to bed, I think it does make a difference the next day.

100%. So I'm huge on visualizing stuff. I love to just think about, I like looking at diagrams and imagining versus every single coverage, how I'm going to run this route to get open. Where I'm going to get it, how are the ponds or the defensive pieces going to relate to every single route? And I just, I love, that's what gets me fired up

during the week when Coach Reed and all the offensive coaching staff are putting up the plays in the game plan. That's some of my favorite stuff. And I feel like that helps out 1,000% because you always kind of have that creative understanding of in time instincts to be able to do something that is going to help out your team. Yeah, we've talked about this before.

The diagrams are great, but what makes the difference of great players is being able to take those diagrams and make them their own or visualize them into being something you know creative. Now that we just talked about a bunch of football things which were the reasons why you guys were successful. Ques, Marquez, thank you. Marquez on Friday was the difference in team chemistry. I'll tell you what, there's something about off the field,

you know, camaraderie, or just doing something fun with each other off the field. That brings everything together. We've talked about this earlier on the podcast. I'd never, I'm not a huge colladoo player. I'm more of like a sports video game guy. I'm in the 2K Mad-esque in your play. I'm trash, yeah.

But when I play with guys who actually know what they're doing, I could be a good teammate. I can revive everyone. I can tell everyone where they're at because they're shooting me the run on in there. You're gonna flank the trash. Get in there. They're gonna flake the stairs. They're around the stairs. They're around the stairs. One shot. I got two shots. I'm not

his armor. Lee Roger. Stick to the play. Stick to the play. God. So we get the game together. Yeah. And the first game, we only played three, we only played three together. And this is the resurgence where you can kind of, as long as your team's alive, you can fly back in as long as, you know, I don't know what any of this is right now. So so long story short, we win three in a row. And that's all we play three games first place back to back to back.

When I tell you that's like a once in a month, once in a week kind of thing for a guy like me, like I'm not getting dubs like that. But when so you're feeling good. I'm feeling fantastic. All these guys are like, yeah, now I got to go. I got to go. Like, all right, everybody's out. Everybody else is off. And I'm like, yeah, I'm about to go ahead and get my fourth win in a row. And I didn't even place in like the top 25. So it just told you when word a team, what do you call it? Bonds. Pretty unstoppable. Yeah, how's Bonds?

I'm Bonds on the sticks, but getting better. I can hold my own. I hear putting up goose eggs in the in the kill column. You know what I mean? I'm putting up like five kills a game. But these dudes like Juju and Marqués are throwing up 10 plus kills. What's your strategy? I'm a flanker. I'm actually as funny as that. I'm a flanker. I'm a flanker.

So a lot of action going on over here. I'm gonna go ahead and sign by taking a little. That is so you. Yeah. You are over here. You're speaking the back door. You've been a flanker and everything you've ever done. King Flanker right here Made you a great tight end there's a lot of action going on

It was meant to be all this trick in the book. Yeah sneak through the back door me. I'm just running in just trying to melee guys My strategy just runs fast possible knife on whatever I play I'm not gonna lie. I'm big sneak up on somebody for sure. Yeah, you've always been sneaky Sneaky sound. I'm deady-bitty sneaky Big flanker man, but yeah, no shout out to the COD Getting the gang closer and ready for this matchup, man. I can definitely feel what Juju was saying. Are there any other video games you played that have brought teams closer together?

I think video games are a big part of especially since the comms, since you can play online and stuff. I feel like every single hockey tournament I ever went to, we were hookin' an N64 up to the TV. Yep. Every single base that you get on the beat, as a kid, you're bringin' the 64 everywhere you go. Yep, that was my favorite console. I still play the 64.

I still got it, it's upstairs. You have one too. All the games included, Jeff. Well, I'm one of mine, so... You have the original that we had at the house? No, I think that's it. Yeah, that one was gone. Yeah. It was someone that was of mine. So you have the original that we had at the house? No, I think that's. Yeah, that one is going. Yeah.

It was someone who knows a green one you could see. My favorite video game to build team chemistry is Wayne Gretsky 3D Hockey 98. That made our college team closer, at least the guys that we're playing. Wayne Gretsky 3D H hockey 98 for the Nintendo 64. And obviously, once you're in college, was it 88 or 99, 98 or 99?

I think it's 98, but we kind of played whichever version was available. Right on. Which is a two on two, three on three, but like two on two. NBA Jam style. Yeah, arcade hockey game, right? You can hit people, you can shoot fire shots,

where the goalies fly through the nets. You know, you fight, you fight. But anyways, we made it into a drinking. And it's one of those games where the computer has a regulator on it. So the game's kind of always close. And you can kind of, it's a little glitchy too. So you can get, you can master the glitches.

Oh, yeah, for sure. I mean, all NCC 4 games had a little glitch. too, so you can get you can master the glitches. Oh, yeah, for sure I mean all NCC 4 games had a little glitch That was part of the game inside the game but um the flanking maybe So Wayne Brusky was the game that we played in college which was For every time somebody scored a goal the other team had to drink Every time somebody got a hat trick on the opposing team, the other two players had to,

the opposing two players had to finish their beer. And I don't know if you guys ever played when you were in Grisky 3 to 9. But they're high-schooling games. These are, both players are definitely getting at least a hat trick. At least, at least. And this led to, I mean, each game, your chug in pretty much three beers. At least, least. Yeah, if you're each person if it's a competitive game for sure So within 30 minutes you're through a rack of beers In bruski baby. It's the greatest drink if you get if you get in the fights the other

Everyone has to be drinking their beer while the fight is going on even the people in the fight So you end up just mashing buttons until somebody gets knocked out Oh no let your game. There's a out. Oh, and a letter again. It was a great game. It was a great game. We don't play it enough. No worries. I still, yeah, I need to hook that up.

That's definitely got to come back out of the archives. That was the best dream game we ever did. We also had Mario Kart 64, no drinking and driving. So you could drive and then when you got in a crash, that's when you tried and you had to finish a beer before the race was over. Yeah. That was really it those two and halo halo is huge in college. Yeah, I didn't get into that one. Yeah, there's never a halo guy. Yeah. You can't have too many receipts on this guy. I mean, this guy is the number one receiver on the football league right now. He's doing pretty good. He's gonna probably set the record for the most yards ever by a receiver. Well, chiefs a wide outs total of 15 receipts for 271 yards and three touchdowns this past week.

Mm-hmm. Cool. Hardman became the first receiver in the Shubo era with two rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown in the same game. Macau. And Juju and Mark Weiz became the first chief receivers to both go over 100 receiving yards in a game since 2000. Yep. That's a lot of stats. Yeah.

It just shows you how much were evolving. It just shows you that. It just shows you how great Patrick my home is playing. Well, that's a thing. After the game, Chiefs fans, Reservice and Old Kenan Allen, IG comment, after Tyree trade, he commented, this one's gonna expose some people. Glad he out the division too.

I'd say that Kenan. Who was he saying that about? I hope it wasn't about me. That's my guy. I hope that makes folks. Who else would he you been talking about? Me, and says maybe you're talking about so maybe use my homes, but I mean, it's either you or my homes. There's only two people

these talk. It's only two left, huh? Right. Or unless you don't want to get coach read or something like that. But I have a feeling you're talking about you. I don't know why either way. Clearly, it was talking, yeah, whatever you're talking about, it's not true. It either way. Um, clearly he was talking. Yeah, whatever he was talking about. It's not true. It's good to see Keenan back out on the field. He got his, uh, his hamstring back run rolling and, um, hopefully he can make that chargers team better because right now, you never get exposed. We don't need to talk trash yet. Would it be there? I already got one. I guess I'm already this year. Travis, it's only seven games in. You don't need to dog trash yet. Would it be an area I want to know we got some array this year?

Travis, it's only seven games in. You don't want to be. This is true, this is true. They got a lot of football left and they got a good team. So yeah, some people would even think my whole system is playing better, the Chiefs offense is better. RG3, fan of the show, said he thinks the Chiefs offense is better without Tyree.

Seven games in. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. I think you look at the first year Pat had obviously 55 touchdowns was the MVP of the see of the NFL. I think there was the there was the new aspect like it's new. Not a lot of teams can scheme it up. Not a lot of teams were ready for how Pat could throw the football, the weapons that we had. Tyreek was evolving.

That offense was so much fun to play in. I think it keeps evolving into Pat's strengths. And Coach Reed is making this this year something that teams haven't seen before. So having that brand new, this team is new, the looks are new, we're not sure exactly how Juju is being used. We're not sure how MDS is being used.

It's still a question on, all right, in Coach Reed's offense, how are these pieces gonna work? Well, at the same time, the offense is evolving. And on top of that, you don't even know what this piece is doing. That's interesting. Yeah, because I do feel like, you know, the best offenses are obviously ones that have great players, but also ones that are, the coaches have thought of some new things or doing things that defenses haven't really caught on to yet. And so what you're saying is still but are still favorable to the pieces that they have.

Of course. Yeah. Right. Yeah. But it's not just we're down on up this play because versus cover three we think it's going to go. We're down on up this play because it has Patrick Mahon strides. We want this player to do this. Exactly. Yeah. I think so what you're saying is losing Tyreeke in some ways has forced Andy and the offensive staff to reevaluate ways to make the offense. New pieces. Yeah. New pieces.

Way to integrate these ways to still manufacture big plays. 100%. Whereas before, like having Tyree, it was almost like a, you know, we knew what he was going at. We were going to keep doing these things. That's interesting. 100%. So we still have Mark Weiz outside doing a lot of the stuff that Tyree was almost like, you know, we knew what he was going to be. We were going to keep doing these things. That's interesting. 100%. So we still have Mark Weiz outside doing a lot of the stuff that Tyree was doing. A lot of stuff that, uh, Demarkis Robinson was doing in terms of deep passes, deep routes,

explosive plays. And we added someone who can control the middle of the field with the tight ends in this offense. Sure. Yeah. And Juju is a big physical fast receiver who feels the game very well. Smart individual understands, defenses understands the number count of where guys have to relate, who's relating to them, and he can fill voids.

Yeah. He's a sure catch every single time. So it's just it's fun to see how this offense keeps evolving. And it's fun to see these these new faces It's electric seeing Ju-Ju go for one twenty four, you know We haven't seen that in Kansas City. That is electric. It's electric to see Mark was go down field on third and nine and Come through with a forty-yard bomb. Yeah, you know, that's electric when you find that we were talking about earlier The feeling of seeing someone reach new heights are seeing someone reach that new

milestone, and it's just it's so much fun. And that's just what it builds is more more energy to just keep fighting and keep finding new ways to to get the ball down feel to get the ball in the end zone. Well, a big reason the Chief's offense is better this year. to get the ball in the end zone. Well, a big reason the Chiefs offense is better this year. Just whether a tie race here or not is, I think your patch is playing better. Not the bad was playing bad. I just think he's been unbelievable.

And he's been unbelievable his whole career. Here's an insane Mahomes stat. He has the highest QB Win percentage, including playoffs since 2019. Number one, Pat Mahomes. Number two, Aaron Rogers. Number three is Patrick my homes when he has had games trailed by 10 plus points.

He's above Brady at number four in games where he's double digit losing a point in the game. So, you know, the one and only. Sir Patrick my homes's the second. Why is he playing so lights out this year? Same thing. I think he might have heard Keenan Allen say that we have to get exposed. And it's it.

But that isn't it. Do you think Pat takes it personal that? He's a big note taker. I've seen I've seen him take notes. He's a huge note taker. He's probably got hundreds and hundreds of those spirals 70 page things that we all in the note pages that we always get on pleasure and people saying stuff. I think on play on film study. Oh, okay. But I'm assuming since he takes notes so much on film study that he's taking mental notes mental notes 100%.

Yeah, I think I think that feels that kind of stuff feels I know it fuels me. If somebody's saying that I'm not going to be the same player, or if I'm going to, you know, be a lesser player, the next year, or, you know, that fueled me this year. 100% 100% yeah, whenever you're you've had a you're going to doubt me. All right. That justes me up. Yeah. Well, you crashed Pat's post game interview to call him the one and only my home. The one and only baby. What's your best way to describe what makes him a special player? I'm here.

I think the best way. I'm here. That dude is such a competitor, man. That dude, he is, I love watching film, especially when we win because he's making unbelievable plays. But he's such a competitor in how he fights for the guys around him. If he sees something cheap, he's not the guy that's

going to let that slide. He's going to go and tell that dude, hey, man, cut all that, cut all that extra shit out. He's fighting for the guys next to him on the field at all times. Leading us on the sideline, getting the guys rallied, getting the guys refocused. Going up the guys, hey, this is how we like this play, this is how the communication, big on the comms. He's just the ultimate leader, man.

And that's what makes it so fun to play with him. Because he's gonna do the instinctual stuff on the field to where man. And that's what makes it so fun to play with him, because he's going to do the instinctual stuff on the field to where he just, he's patting my homes. Nobody can do, nobody can throw the way he does. Nobody has the creativity in his mind to be able to, you know, just have plays that you wouldn't think would be possible. But I think it's his film study. I think it's his ability to remember that kind of stuff.

Like if you talk to him, he's got that McVey kind of memory where he remembers watching this play from the third game of 2017 when he was scouting, you know, the Philadelphia Eagles when we were playing. You know, he has this weird way of remembering what defensive coordinators do, you know, and it's, and it only makes them that much more quick twitch, that much more instinctual on the field. Yeah, it's always I'm surprised by that you say he takes notes.

Then that dude, when I tell you it's chicken scratch, but that's it's gotta be doing something man. Because you such an instinctual player, you know, obviously he understands the offense to a T. I feel like most guys that are dialed in notetakers don't play the way Patrick Mahomes does. I think what makes Pat Unique watching him is his intuition.

It's his instinct of play where he is clearly in his mind free to have that creative phone. And a lot of times I feel like when you're a notetaker, when you're by the book, you end up becoming a very precise individual and you lose track of that creative community. So the fact you're able to be that meticulous and understanding and precise while also to you. Ticulous. I don't know't know, unless you got serious.

It's got to be you in there. How many Google it? To you. So unless you're able to, you know, usually it doesn't go back and forth. So maybe that's one of the things of why he's so good. He has the precision and he has the dialed in approach of the meticulous note taking type player,

but somehow he still is able to be free. He doesn't let that interfere. He doesn't let that bog down. What he does, he lets that build his instincts. Yeah. You can't be thinking about that on game day, right? You know, that needs to be something that is thought throughout the week on game day.

He's going to go out there and let it play. Got to go. And he is one of the best at that I've ever seen. Man, it's fun. It's fun rocking with him, man. I know that. How has he evolved since his rookie year? I mean, just in exactly what we were saying.

I feel like with reps, you understand, you know, what's possible. Yeah. I think with how much film study he has, this guy wants to. But you still know the passage of your year too. Yeah. Let's not get away from, you know, his natural instinct of how he plays the game. He's just, he's one of the best at playing the game as free as he is, but I think with the reps

and the understanding of defenses with the understanding of situational football, with the, you know, when we say situational football, we're talking about third down, specific like. Yeah. What's the defensive coordinator running on third and short, third and five to six, third and eight, third and specific, like, yeah, for what's the defensive coordinator running on third and short, third and five to six, third and eight, third and third, 10 plus, you know, he understands these kind of things to a whole another level.

So he's technically a step ahead of the game. Right. And when you do that and you can go out there and play free, I mean, that's, that's when it gets electric. The, the biggest thing I think for him is that he's, he's a fiend for football. He's a fiend for those situations. I was talking with him and Matt Nagy on the on the plane ride back and they were just going back and forth of what happened during the second quarter, the end of the second quarter

of a college game. And I'm sitting here like, I don't give a rants ass about either one of those two college teams, let alone enough to watch college football on a Saturday while I'm, you know, I mean, trying to put my feet up, you know, I'll catch a bearcat game, but I'm not sitting here watching a random SEC game or a random pack 12 game, you know, and it's his, his love for the knowledge of the game is only making his instincts that much more fun. Yeah. You know, that much more. It's why it's one of the best in the business,

especially in situation where two minute rules, he's so good when this team's down or when you guys, that's another thing, man. Right. When you can just, just get in that thing, put that thing in, was it fourth gear? Bleh! When you can just just get in that thing, put that thing in, was it fourth gear? Uh!

When you can just floor it. Yeah, I mean, you can floor it in any year, but yeah. Oh, good point. But you go way faster than fourth thing you're doing first. It's true, you go faster than fourth, fifth, and you're doing fourth, yeah. Anyways, all right, so there we go. So you guys got more gears.

National tight end day, all right? Let's go back to this debacle. Near identical stat line with George Kim. Made in close, but no cigar. So obviously George had the one receiving touchdown. Yeah. Big time touchdown. Big time touchdown.

It looked like a touchdown. Oh man. What does that feel like? Cause I've never experienced having a touchdown call back. What can you tell all of us including me immediately? Nothing Selfish about it immediately Dan. We just got a touchdown taken off the board as a team like man It's hard to get in the end. I don't believe you for a second

You know, there's not one I got in my day dog. I got so many touchdowns. Don't where did I get the first thing that comes your mind when you have a touchdown call back is like, man, this really sucks for our team. Yes. That's awesome. You're a great team player, Travis. Jason. When I get a hold of it, I'm like, man, fuck, I just fucked up. I'm thinking about me. You're a great team player. I'm just saying, I don't know. That's great. All right, you can only speak for yourself. I, um, as soon as we get a touchdown on that drive, it's like nothing happened. Oh, I agree.

You move on from it quickly. I'm not saying like you're like, oh, boohoo, and you go to the sideline like, I had a touchdown and I'm not saying that. But I don't know. And that, that touchdown specifically, you take a big hit over the middle. Yeah.

Those are those are the moments that I love being in the league, man. Just, because football is just like, it's a big, you know, physical sport you wanna see who can out physical, who in a football game. When you catch one over the middle and just stand, don't even, don't even hit the ground. It's a big strong boy you are.

I feel so strong. So strong. I felt like a strongest man in the world. I guess enough about Kettle, man. He's so electric. One of my favorite parts of the entire day was, you know, they do the hype videos on the screen before the game started, like for the home team.

They'll do like a pump up video or, you know, they'll ask another guy in the sporting community to chuck a beer. They'll do something to try and get the people going. I was doing the game, those during the year. Oh my man. They had Bruce Kittle, George's dad. Nice. Get electric.

I just talked to George about this not too long. He said that it was, it was actually a video during like the COVID year. But he put on a Rey Mysterio mask and got everybody hyped for National Titan Day. And they threw it up on the big screen. And I'm just like, and then after that, after everybody got hyped,

they showed them in the crowd and he was just as hype as he was in the video and I was just like, let's get it going baby. Yeah, I mean, as much as I, it was electric. Don't put it in the National Titan Day. You know what, Bruce and George have done for Titan U brought the attention to the position.

I'm just, I mean, they've been incredible. Bruce is the former O'Line coach. He was O'Line coach over at O'Line. You can tell by the way George plays as a former O'Line coach. He's a freaking block of machines. Dude gets it, man. But I'm just having George's back out there healthy

and dominate. 100% man. And hope to see that some more, because it's just more fun to watch. Yeah, it was good to see Shannon And finally dial some stuff up for my guy. Yeah, man It feels like all he does is the hand the ball off and I was honestly I was going into the game like man They just got my cabin. He's playing hurt. There's no way there. You're starting to feel a little bit

Yeah, I mean He's a fighter dude. He's gonna play through whatever. We saw the debut of Christian McAvery speaking of CMC. Brought right in. How easy would it be to pick up a new team's offense? Some speculated that Travis's contract move might have been for Christian McAfry. Caffery?

No, I never saw that one. I mean, Christian is obviously one of the best, if not the best, pound for pound running back in the league right now. The guy is, I mean, he can move. He's got those, like those narrow hips we were talking about, man. He's got them narrow hips, man. He's getting skinny through the hole really easy.

I mean, Andy's got unbelievable explosion, great vision. He can catch the ball out of the backfield. If you put a linebacker on him in the receiving game, it's going to get ugly for you. How easy would it be to just go in and play, getting traded and going in play that week? Neither of us have ever had to do that. Never. No. Don't think it would be that hard. I especially don't think it would be that hard for running back to me. There's a few positions you could definitely do it running back. One of them I think D line is another one. Yep. Obviously the hardest would be quarterback. Yeah, 100%. I would say, oh line, there's too much chemistry. You can't mess around with all that going into a game, especially not a Friday before a game. You can do an attack

all I feel like you can make it work. If in a pinch, you'd have have to because you can help each other out. It depends on what you're learning. I mean, like there's guys, hey, about the end. You can get out of a game with it, but we're not going to get an idea. It's not a guy in front of you, but yeah. Got that over there. Shocker, but obviously running back, I think one of the easier ones to do that at. Yeah. You know, most most teams in the league now run

all the generic running plays. Yeah, I mean, it was outside this for all his carries. I was going to want to on super complex. They ran one catch plays with them. They ran one of those plays and it actually was a huge hitter because no one expected. They went empty and I think they threw a quick screen to them. Quick screen. So just get the ball in his hand kind of play.

Sure. So they probably made it really easy on them to just go out there and play football.

You're five and two ahead of your biwi. Obviously, there's been some highs and lows. Yeah, how's the biwi going to go? How what do you have plan for the body? I plan on coming out to Philadelphia. You know, go ahead and see some family. See some nieces. See my beautiful nieces, man. They're so electric, man.

Yeah, and then go, go watch them. Go to Philadelphia Eagles football, man. You guys got to steal it. You're gonna go to this? Can I go? Can you give me a ticket? I think I can scrounge on it. I'll call Kylie.

You know who's in Georgia. Out right now. But I, yeah, other than that, not really sure what I got planned for the buy. Is that the question? How will the buy help with your consistency was a question? Oh, but I didn't ask that. Because I don't even know.

You want to ask that? How will the buy help with your consistency, Travis? I think the buy will help with my consistency by... I tried it last time. I don't know if you thought. I think the buy will help with my consistency by trying to buy it in a free time by getting some free time to think about other things. I think what coach Reed doesn't I'm sure it's different in every single building is coach Reed lets us just get out of the building not necessarily eat sleep, breathe football 24 7 because that's I Because that's how I do it.

Whenever I'm thinking, whenever I'm in a work week, even when I leave the facility, I'm looking at film, I'm thinking visualizing like we were talking about. I just put a lot of time, a lot of effort into it. And getting this by week to be able to just step away from the madness or the routine, the consistent, you know, routine that kind of drains you a little bit. I think that's the best thing that you can have, you know, it's just a restart, refresh.

Yeah, I think the by-week, I think a lot of people talk about the physical aspect of, you know, letting your body be different. But I think even more than that, like what you're saying, the mental process of being able to step away and in some ways not think about football for a week is important. I think when you come back, you know, we were back in the building on Monday for the first time after the buy, it was, you feel rejuvenated,

you feel energized. For the lift, everybody's just got like that. kind of like back to school vibe a little bit. 100%. So it, uh, I think in, you know, that mental aspect of kind of, uh, deloting for a week is often overlooked. And, uh, and I talked about. All right, home. Yeah.

Speaking of the buy. Yeah. You just had one, brother. I did. Uh, obviously, um, speaking of the buy. Yeah. You just had one, brother? I did. Obviously, six and O going into it. I mean, do you want at this point do you want to keep things rolling? Are you happy about the buy? Are you?

Well, I mean, selfishly, I think our offense line was pretty banged up. So probably happy from a physical standpoint. And I don't think it you know, it's gonna affect, you know, the run that we've been on or anything like that. I think that we're dialed in still, and the coaches are gonna make sure that we're, you know, still, in the right frame of mind, and still ready to go. So I'm not too worried about that.

Far up, man. Let's talk about that by week, though. Let's recap it a little bit, man. We started it off with dropping an album. You're officially a music artist. Crystal Salmon hasn't dropped yet. We announced we're dropping an album, but yeah. Still tuning it up. Yeah, it's well known it's done.

It's in, I mean, I actually have the testing vinyl. And you're singing on it. Are you playing on it? I don't have a fan on it. I'm hard pressed to call what I'm doing singing, but I singing on it. Are you playing on it? I'm in hard press to call what I'm doing singing, but I'm on it. And I'm doing something resembling singing, but yeah, me, Jordan Milada, Lane Johnson, as well as a bunch of musical artists who actually musical artists, in particular Charlie Hall, the drummer for Juan Drugs.

He's kind of the one that really, I mean, honestly, made this whole thing. Put it all together. Yeah, I mean, he introduces to the right people. He knows all of these musicians or knows people that know them. And the like cast that we were able to put together, I mean, it's truly been remarkable

how many people have been willing to help out with this. And I think it's gonna be really cool. I really do. I think it's truly been remarkable how many people have been willing to help out with this and I think it's gonna be really cool. I really do. I think it's really cool. So I'm just excited to have the album I mean you've been notorious for listening to Christmas music all year long. Of course it's music. I do. I love I don't know. I just I love music that you listen to with your family music that reminds you of being in the house growing up, stuff that brings you back to, not just simpler times, but times where you're happy. And I feel like Chris was out in, Chris music does that. I just want to be happy, man.

Who doesn't know what everybody wants to be? I'm always happy seeing you. But yeah, I mean, to start out, it's like an idea just to kind of like race some money for kids around the holidays for gifts. And it just ended up being this like awesome. I can now. Experience. I can now wait to use.

We got some video and stuff. So, I mean, it's. So, we got Jordan Molata. Who can actually sing? Who can actually sing? Who's playing football to launch a singing career? I'm so dead serious. We got Lane Johnson.

Yeah, who can also actually sing? What? To tell you, you're gonna find out. So you're? I'm the only one that can't sing. You're the one that just... I'm the one that just... You're the one that shows up at the class project.

Well, no, I'm saying I'm there. I'm doing the work. I'm just not good at it. I was gonna ask who's Beyonce, but obviously it's not you. Who is? Who's Beyonce of the group? Jordan Milana.

Hey, all right. I didn't know. Lane can sing too. I didn't know that. I didn't know that. I mean, he's not Beyonce. You know, Jordan's Beyonce lanes like,

I don't know. Kelly Rowland, that makes you. I don't even know he's what's a Dolly part the destiny you got oh my god yeah and I'm you know Bob Dylan that's right I wish I was a creative but no it ended up being a honestly the project ended up being just a great album of honestly, like I know it's gonna sound cheesy, but like friendship. And like, dude, it was just a blast.

We got a lot of video over. I can't wait to hear it. It was the collection of like individuals from like professional athletes to musicians, to like recording people, to like, all Philly based. Yeah, for the most part. I mean, I can't say that all the musicians,

the vast majority of them are living in Philadelphia now. So dope, man. And like, you know, yeah, it's going to be really cool. I'm not allowed. I was heartbroken, man. I asked you when you were going to go record some of this, if I could be a part of it, and you told me no. And you said it was because I had you said I wasn't I wasn't a Philly guy So I can make it this up again. I feel like I would have probably let you I don't forget things I'm just chasing it. It is a Philly, Delphiah Christmas. I don't forget album. I can't wait to I come out of my album Do the same thing can't see them. I'm sure they love it. Yeah, just copy be a copier. I can't Be hard though. You got to find a guy like Charlie who can. I can't sing.

Yeah. Definitely not Christmas albums. Well, maybe we can play a couple songs on that. I did meet Michael Bubley. He came, he's a huge cheese fan. That's, hey, that's Michael. I think it's pretty cool. I can shake some bells.

I'll get you a vinyl. When the vinyl is finally pressed. Ranger bells, What are those? The reindeer bells. What are those called? reindeer bells. What are you saying? reindeer bells. Sleeve bells. I don't know. There we go. Moving on, you became the the fillies playoff good luck charm. That's why I said go my head on. That a boy. I haven't washed my fillies jersey yet. I haven't washed my jeans yet. I'm just gonna keep wearing them throughout the playoffs. You've never washed your jeans. I don't know.

Which is kind of suspect because you don't wear draws. I don't, I don't believe in draws. I am a big superstitious person. You're saying it. I just really don't wanna wash clothes. But it's gonna be great. Timeout. You just said you don't believe in them. Like they were like something like Christmas that you have to believe like you have to have like it's religion or something

No, I mean I think What do you not believe they're there? I don't believe that they're necessary. I don't believe there's like a useful So you just want skid marks on your jeans? I am pretty good at wiping. I don't have skid marks I prefer not to finish wiping until there's stuff You're $290 pound man. Yeah, you got skid marks. I do not I promise you You promise you I do not have Oh man shout out to Kylie she doesn't have to my and my prostate still functioning well

So I know you don't watch I'm not a leaker so I don't really understand what the purpose is for them It's's killing it. Absolutely killing it. So I was a game. It was electric. You chugged a beer in 10 seconds, which is a solid chug for anyone that doesn't drink. Well, you know, I was limited to however fast it could pour out. It was an electric.

It was an electric. It wasn't above pour. So I couldn't, I wasn't squeezing it or doing anything different. Which takes talent to be able to swallow the beer and to have like a waterfall going on at the same time. Well, yeah, there is a little bit of foam that's created with the splash. Yeah, so, you know, but like we said,

I'm an experienced beer drinker. Tasted an experienced guy to understand this guy to think I'm incredible. Probably the most large, probably probably the most amount of people I've tried to be in front of. Were you a little nervous? Not one bit. I mean, I didn't really know what was gonna happen

to be honest with you. They kind of said that maybe it would happen, but then the Fox crew, they were saying that maybe there's like some sponsorship deals that are gonna allow it happen. So I didn't know what to really expect going out there, but once the beer was there, I knew, well,

you knew it was going out. Oh, look, a beer on the baseball field. What am I gonna do with this? And then I got the bat flip afterwards, throw it up in the air. So yeah, that was fun. Well, it was a proud brother moment for sure. I definitely appreciated the crowd getting absolutely electric for you, Fire and Up.

And my guy, Miles Teller, got him fired up a little bit. He did. Two nights later, I was at that game as well. He's killing it right now. He fired him up on the clincher. Oh, nice. All right. Series Ender on Sunday.

Yeah. Fire and Up. Nice. Top Gun. Freakin' month. I'm sorry. Top Gun. Freaking a Maverick. Well, no, it's a goose. Goose to son. Well, the new top gun is maverick.

The new top gun. Oh, yeah, that isn't even the movie. Yeah. Great movie, by the way. Loved it. Loved it. It really is a movie. Shout out to shout out to Miles and all the fill it. Alfie fans, man. Dude, you're's very bunches.

The city is electric right now. I'm going to lie. I'm kind of pretty excited to be going out there. I chugged one beer on the field. There's a guy after the game on Sunday who climbed a light pole. I thought you guys were grease and pole. I forgot to grease the poles. That's a that's a big.

Rough. Stay. You guys tell you guys that one. Not 2017. That's right big, rough, and steady guy to tell you guys I'm wanting a while. Not to 2017. That's right. They were, they didn't think the grease was necessary until the uh, world series, uh, they'll have the grease right in this next. Everything would be greased all week, man. I love it. I'll, I'll give it a go, man. I'll see if I can climb on it. So let's talk. I mean, it was, it looked like it was just action packed by week for you. What was the coolest moment? We had a chug in a beer

and a huge bro hug with the Philadelphia fanatic mascot. Rex Ryan on Sunday NFL countdown mentioning new heights podcasts and the fight stories. Obviously we've had a few, but that one was the best fight of them all. And maybe telling Frank Thomas that he can chug a beer fashion to me or fashion you. Yep. You and Kylie meeting the legendary Philadelphia Phillies head coach or manager, Charlie Manu, skipper, the old skip. And then hanging with A-Rod, Big Poppy, Miles Teller at the Phillies game, I mean, you... I left the house.

That's what happens when you leave the house. I didn't even need to leave the house to talk to Dr. Ryan. And then obviously the Fox Sports crew and fans put Jason and the Phillies sports Mount Rushmore. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, you know what I mean? Well, you're what I mean? Well, you're iconic. I would say you left the house.

Of all the events I have in this week, chugging the beer on the field with the fanatic, there's number one. It made you feel like you hit a home run, didn't it? It was just, you could tell by the picture with the mascot how happy you were in that moment. Here's what it is. We don't get to be fans that often.

You know what I mean? And like being at the game and like truly like being able to be fan and to like also going to go on the field, Chuck a beer. Um, I mean, the fanatic is like an iconic mascot, Kylie, my wife, a Philadelphia and cries sometimes when she sees the fanatic, like that's how much people in Philadelphia love the Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica,

Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, Monica, She is all in on the fanatic and to be honest, I get it I took that This is not about them got good energy selected got similar shoes. It was a it was a awesome It was honestly like really really cool on a multiple Kind of levels. I also that same game got to meet Charlie, got to meet a lot of the fillies that were part of 2008 championship in, you know, other years. Got to see Miles tell me it was it was a really, really cool night and to be there. Both times went really, but that Friday night was a lot of fun.

I love it, man. I was living through you through a man. That was fun to see. Yeah, I mean, Charlie Manuel, I mean, obviously, I was our child. It was a tough one. But I mean, he was a huge manager, hitting coach in the 90s teams for the Indians, and it was awesome to see him kind of transition over to the Phillies and take that and lead them to their World Series, which you never got and Cleveland, unfortunately.

I was a Mesa. But, um, yeah, I would say that's number one. Yeah, very cool, man. So we just mentioned that, um, that Fox Sports crew put you on their Philly Mount Rushmore. Yeah. Who in the mind of Jason Kelsey would be Philadelphia's Mount Rushmore? Well, I don't know if I'm authorized to make the Philly Mount

Rushmore going on from Philadelphia, but I think in my opinion, I have a feeling the guys you're about the name aren't from the city either, but keep going. No, I'm saying, I feel like Philadelphia's Mount Rushmore should be designed about. By Philadelphia. Philadelphia's, yeah. But I think, I think I got a pretty good grasp on who

Philly likes at this point. I think the number one, I probably go, I probably go red-jewight. I probably go, I probably go red-white. Oh, alright. Okay. Then number two, probably go Alan Iverson. I'm not to say if you didn't put, I mean, he changes the culture. Yeah.

He didn't just change, he changed the culture of sports. He didn't just change that one. And then after those two, I think, I think there's a lot of really, really good choices you can make. And I don't know where Philadelphia would go on this. If we're up to me, the next two would probably be Brian Dawkins and Pete Rose. Be Doc. But I don't know if that's what Philadelphia would do I think you also have I mean there's a lot of other players you have here if you're going six years you got Dr. J

yeah I was say Dr. J is probably going flyers obviously Bobby Clark is a legendary flyers any of those broad street bullies guys bullies they're probably a little upset I left them off the list and maybe Bobby Clark gets in there of Pete. So yeah, I don't know. Those are probably the four that I think of. And maybe I'm just biased with Pete Rose because you also played with the Cincinnati Reds and whenever your nickname is, you know, Johnny Hussle, you know.

That's right. I'm rolling with that guy. I'm with you. Let's talk about coach. Really cool moment this week with Pete Carole, Gina Smith, you know, you know, look like Gino, little flustered, maybe Carol came out, called them down before a big third down conversion. We've seen Gino really come into his own in Seattle.

100% which is interesting because I mean, he's been in the league for as long as you have. Yeah, same. Yeah, 10 years. But obviously he's starting to play really, really well in Seattle. Which he typically don't see. Usually see guys start off hot, not so good the following couple of years.

Usually see guys who start with one place, go someplace else and visit out, right? Right. So how big of an impact does coaching make? Which by the way, this isn't an interesting, or this isn't a surprising thing that I, Peter O, I think is a psychology major. Do you know that news to me? I'm almost positive on that.

I got a, I got a minor in psych so. No, he did not. Maybe he's street psychology. I don't know. I don in psych. So no, he did not. Maybe you treat psychology. I don't know. I don't know if that's we got to keep going. Anyways, technically, got a scholarship handed to me. So I'm not even sure what they gave me. Keep going. I got a degree handed to you and a scholarship handed to you and taking away. All right. You didn't show up. We're just me going. That's a good one. We should bring that one. All right. I think the best coaches end up being the ones that

have the most emotional awareness, right? The most ability to connect with their players. It's interesting. So it's not surprising to me that a psychology major in P. Carroll is able to maybe connect with Gino on a better level than maybe some other coaches have. And everything starts know, everything starts upstairs, right? Especially in that position.

100%. So yeah, how big of a difference does coaching in the NFL make upstairs, meaning that noggin, right? That's what you're talking about? Yeah, your brain. Yeah. All right. I didn't know if you were talking about upstairs and like the, but that's not the only, I mean, that's what just with Pete, that's Pete's, I think, every coach has something that makes them unique and great. Pete is clearly an unbelievable motivator and a guy that is able to connect with people. When 1,000%.

You get all the players that you see play for Pete. Don't have, aren't living in a bubble, aren't living in a shell, their personalities are out there. Yeah. You look at Russell Wilson, you look at Marcia on Lynch, you look at Sherman, you look at, you know, the guys all across the board on the Super Bowl teams that he's had, they're all very big personalities, and they're not hiding a thing. Yeah.

They're telling people how it is, and that's to be able to manage when it gets too far, you know, because you still are representing an organization, you're still representing a lot more than just yourself when you, when you wear whatever logo you're wearing in the, in the league. But to still give guys that freedom to be themselves, that's when I think teams really mesh the best, and that's when I think guys play their best. I've had unbelievable guidance and not just coach Reed, coach Tom Melvin, Titan coach in Kansas City, coach Eric B. Enemy, I've had countless talks about how to manage,

not only my emotions, but how to manage what I'm doing in life so that, it doesn't necessarily affect anybody in a negative way, but at the same time, it stills allows me to be myself. You know, you're not, because the last thing you want to do is start being uncharacteristic, you know, because that's a recipe for disaster no matter what occupation you're in. Yeah, no, and, you know, the best, you know, the best coaches find a way to embrace players as individuals and let them be who they are within the combined structure.

One hundred percent, right? One hundred percent. I mean, not just, you know, let's talk about Andy Reed for a little bit. I mean, your head coach, I can't remember the last time Andy Reed has had a quarterback that has not been good for him. And that dates back to Philadelphia with, you know, Donovan McNabb, obviously being the star, but AJ Fili, Jeff Garcia coming in, Kevin Cobb, Michael Vic, all of a sudden,

he goes to Kansas City, Alex Smith, as a rejuvenation of his career, back to Holmes now, you have Nick Foles, bring him in there, in both of those categories. Chad Henny, there is something that guy does that makes quarterbacks beat Phen beat phenomenal. And I refuse to believe that it's just tech that he's just the best skimmer in the world. I think that he knows how to get guys to think properly, how to get guys to believe in themselves. What's your number one job as a coach?

If I opinion to empower your players. How am I going to make these guys feel that they can do this? How am I going to make these guys believe in me, but more importantly, believe in themselves. We talk about you. I think it is really easy to find schemers and tactical coaches across the league. There are great offensive coordinators on every single team.

There are great defensive coordinators on every single team. There are great defensive coordinators on every single team. What the true mark of that is hard to find, and it's hard to quantify, which is why teams are always looking for this, is how do I find somebody that motivates and powers and also has the chops to organize this thing? That's a hard person to find. And that's the most important job of the head coach.

How do I motivate all my players? How do I motivate all my coaches? How do I empower them? How do I organize this thing and have a culture of growth and creativity? And the best coaches find a way to get that done. So it sounds like you're getting into coaching, but I thought about it. I don't know of the hell of a time commitment

Yeah, I think I would love to but but it sounds like you you would you would understand everything that would need to be A part of that world and I think I think recognizing that I don't know I don't necessarily know. I know it from the players perspective. Yeah. I mean, obviously there is a lot of, I have no clue what it takes to be a coach in the NFL. Neither of us do.

It is way different. I've got an idea. I don't think so. It's way different going up there every single day, having a, I go through the film, assess where you wanna attack defenses, how to get the most out of this particular player.

I'm not saying it's easy by any means. I think I got an understanding. I think we would both be surprised if we had to go up there, do all the call points. I want to, I'm saying I understand what it would be like, and I can't do it. I don't have the ability, I can't just keep, yeah. I don't think I could be able to put in

that much time commitment. Well, yeah, I think, you know, do you, and that's why I appreciate Coach Reed and the Coach of Staff that we have. That makes me appreciate that so much more, because I understand how much work, how much dedication is being put into this for a guy like me to go out there and have success for the team. You know, I fully understand a lot of that. At least I feel like I understand it to the point where it's like

that only makes me have so much more respect for the coaches that do it the right way. Yeah. Is it more important to have a players coach or somebody that is just a tactical guru? Do you think? I feel like you got if you don't have one that can do both, you got to have both. Yeah, you got to have both of those covers. You can't just be out there like, get my boy, we're going to go get them and run through that wall. You got to have both of those to be great. And not everybody can do both. Some guys can do both. I mean, you have, you know, you have your bill of balance checks, every end of your reads, there are some coaches that are unbelievable in both of those categories somehow.

But yeah, I think it's hard to find guys that are great in both of those facets who can be the coordinator and the head coach. Certainly can be done and it's been done many times, but it takes a special guy to be able to do all of that. Who's the first coach you remember? I would say dad, really? Tebowl, baseball? Yeah, I mean, that's an interesting answer. I was not thinking dad,

but he definitely is the first coach I remember. 100%. Outside of the, I mean, and even then, it was a different wavelength than anybody I'd ever had. After that, I think your father being your coach, you see it from a different point of view. I think that the first coach that I really remember having, I'm trying to think all the sports that I was playing when I was younger.

My baseball coach Todd Began was an awesome, awesome motivator. Was a ex-athlete himself played college football, college football at that. And I just, I related to him because I saw that he had made it in doing the sports thing. Like, he had made it to that next level or he was, he was a successful athlete and it was, I don't know, man. I don't know what was the question. Who's the first coach you remember? How did, how did Coach Began make you feel?

Well, it was a very family oriented team. Like, I've been on teams. I think that since an addy when we had BK, I think it was a very family oriented team. Like I've been on teams, I think that since an Addy, when we had BK, I think it was still a very family oriented team because of what the leadership had already had going. That is the guys that were in the locker room made it feel like a family. More than the coach made it feel like a family. But there's coaches that want to get invested.

They want to know how your family is doing, how your mom, your dad and everybody. And that was that was one of the things growing up that I loved. I loved playing baseball. I loved playing hockey because the guys I was with and the family type atmosphere that we got playing with those those guys like a like a coach bogus, Stevie bogus, you know, like a coach bogus, Stevie bogus, like a Todd Beagin. Both of those guys made it so much fun to just come in and go to work.

Practice hard, play hard for the guy next to you, play with some integrity. I think that's what I really remember from my childhood of my coaches, or at least the coaches that I that I love the most. Yeah Yeah, I don't know I get it's interesting that you said dad was a first coach You remember because now that I'm thinking of it. He's probably the first coach I remember and then after him I was fortunate to have tons of

tremendous coaches and I don't know that I really want to single out any one of them But I think you know whenever I think of coaching I really do come back to this like sense of belief, in this sense of, you know, what do I remember from coaches? And I remember most from the coaches I've had at least. And dad included that there are moments when you as a player doubt creeps in, right? Especially when you're a young player and you're very impressionable. It's like, I don't know if I can do this. I don't know if this is going to work or you know, I don't know. And coaches, the best coaches I've had and the coaches that I remember

And coaches, the best coaches I've had and the coaches that I remember always believed in me. Fools of a confidence, yeah. And that's what you remember from sports is going through adversity, overcoming, achieving. That's what I remember from growing up and playing with coaches were, you know, these, I was very, very blessed to be fueled with by men and role models and coaches who believed in me. And that gave me the courage to believe in myself.

Big head, man. Big head is the first start of it. I'll tell you what, it's funny you say that because he's he remained coaching in the community even when we went to college and the pros. My dad just always, especially baseball, that was his sports, that was the one that he wanted us both to go try and go pro and but his mentality was if I get him to sign up next year, I did my child. Yeah. You know, and that comes with kids feeling the confidence that they can do it. Because he's just trying to inject happiness

and confidence and growth in everyone, man. And that's coaching, man. Yep. Thanks. Thanks, coach. Yeah. Do you have a legendary coach you wish you would have played with, maybe?

Honestly, I absolutely loved my childhood. I loved my high school. I loved all the decisions I made. I wish I would have played for, uh, for coach Babcock's man. I wish I would have played hockey at least just one year, man, or the legendary Kurt Gunther. I played for his brother, Todd Gunther when I was growing up, awesome guy, awesome coach. But there was something about Bad Cox that I had a relationship with that. I was like, man, I want to play for that dude. And it was just, it was a personal,

a personable guy that I just had a lot of fun being around. In terms of legendary coaches, I feel like I've played for the best coach to ever, you know, do the dang on thing in the NFL. So I can't necessarily say that I would want to play for anybody else when I feel like I'm playing. Yeah, it's a weird thing. I don't think I wish I would have played for anybody else.

Yeah. I've been very, very happy to play for the coaches that I've played with. I do think it would have been really, really cool to see what it was like to play for certain coaches. I think it's obviously, but that list is endless. It'd be awesome to feel what it's like to be coached by Bill Bella-Chack. It'd be awesome to feel what it feels like to be coached by Pete Carroll.

It'd be awesome to feel- I wouldn't even just limit it to football. No, I was about to say John Wooden. Like, how, I mean, come on now. I think the, you know, Vince Lombardi, I think as a player, you always are interested in learning new things and how other people do them. You should be at least.

Yeah. So that's always, you know, that'd be great, but, you know, yeah. We're talking about coaches. I think there's leaders throughout your life that you might not even know as a leader to you, but the advice that you get from them, the comfort that you get from the stories that they tell that you can learn from. And for me, growing up, we would always go to Cantana's Barbershop. At least when I was in high school,

I actually used to slide out on my lunch periods and go get a nice tight fade. But he gave me some advice one time to go and watch a YouTube video of a guy's teaching at Carnegie Mellon, I believe, the last lecture. And at this point in my life, I wasn't seeking advice, I wasn't looking for something to motivate me.

I was in high school, I was just a happy, go lucky kid trying to have some fun. Yeah. And I watched it and his story is absolutely remarkable. But I especially remember at the end is, it's not how you achieve your dreams, it's how you lead your life. It's how you lead your life. It's how you direct your life.

And if you lead your life, if you fuel it in the right direction, the things that you want in life will simply come to you. You know, it's not necessarily how do I become a better football player. I'm gonna wake up in the morning and do something that's going to that's going to genuinely make fuel my love for it or try and figure something out. Whether it's, you know, just waking up and having the determination to go out and get a workout

in, go catch a few footballs, figure, go into the film room instead of just watching movies. Every single day go in there and dissect a certain play or dissect a certain person and I was fueling all of my energy into this one world. And sure enough that senior year that I had was me saying you know what screw all the happiness I have off the field screw all the all the fun I have drinking and hanging out with friends if I really want to make this football thing work I I have to become more knowledgeable about it. I have to become more passionate about it. I have to live every single day to want to be a professional athlete in the NFL. And that's what I did. I started taking advantage of every single

decision I was making and doing it with a purpose. Yeah, the the best coaching at the Alex King time. Yeah, the second person. Yeah, I love Alex. The best coaching advice I ever got was from dad. And I don't even think he knew what he was saying. I think he was just tired of answering why? And he just came up with his gem out of nowhere. He was telling me to do something.

I don't remember what. And he said this a bunch. So it could be used in multiple different ways. But he said, I said something like, why do I got to do this? Why aren't you doing it? You never do this. I said that like, you know, why do I got to do this? You know, why aren't you doing it? Like, you don't, you never do this. I said that to him. And he said, I'm not raising you to be like me.

I'm raising you to be better than me. And it was something that I thought was really, really powerful because I think at the end of the day, as I look back on that, that's all like any of us should be doing. We should all be trying to make things better than how we brought them in, right? And that's what makes the marks of great teams. That's what makes the of us should be doing. We should all be trying to make things better than how we brought them in, right? And that's what makes the marks of great teams. That's what makes the marks of great teammates.

When you, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's an unselfish mindset. I don't care if I'm making somebody better than me. I don't care. It necessarily where I'm at. I'm here to bring value to you. I'm here to bring value to my teammates. I'm here to bring value to you. I'm here to bring value to my teammates. I'm here to bring value to my coaches.

I'm here to bring value to my family. Right? I just want to try and improve people by being the best version of myself, but also inspiring them to believe that they can be better. And I'll never forget. I'll carry that to my grave. I think, you know, when you leave something worse than when you found it, that's the true marks of this.

Well, worse than when you found it. Oh, you said. Anyways, let's get back to some lighter topics. Moving on to the new Heights stamp of the week. Seeing which guys throughout the league or just in general, who's taking their game to new heights, baby. Jason, who you got? Ben Jones.

Ben Jones. Ben Jones. Very American name. No, I do not know this man. Ben Jones is the center. You should know all the. Benjamin Jones. Ben Jones is center center. You should know all the Benjamin Jones.

Ben Jones is a center for the Tennessee Titans. He started his career down in Atlanta. He went to Tennessee ever since then. I've heard nothing but great things about Ben Jones. His whole career. I know Brandon Brooks and other guys that have played with him talk about not just how smart he is as a player, but how awesome of a teammate he

is. And that was exemplified this week. I don't know if you saw it during the Tennessee game. It was clear he's banged up. He's cramping during part of it. It gets rolled up on his knee. It was so it was so apparent that he was fighting through things that him and Mike variable had a moment after the game, where you could, I mean, the level of appreciation to head coach could have for a player, first of all, this song's about how unbelievable a coach Mike Variable is, and where he's loved the play. I don't think so, how, baby.

But, I mean, in a day and age where we have rest days, everything's about keeping guys healthy. It feels like the NFL continues to lose focus on this level of toughness and doing something that might not be in your best interest selfishly, but it's not about you, right? I have to go to Ben Jones. Just the epitome of what I think this game's about, unselfishness, toughness, grit, a guy that instantly already had the respect of his teammates, but definitely after that game, everybody in that locker room is saying how awesome the

studio is. It feels like that kind of player in some ways is dying off in the NFL. So to be able to see Ben Jones still keeping that strong is pretty awesome. Ben Jones, man, more power to you, brother. Keep fighting. I'll see you guys next week or after my bye, man. I went with Bella Ross Musin of Laguna Beach, high school player. Talking about paving the way in a world that, you know,

women are still fighting for equality in many, many ways. I actually played with two girls at Cleveland Heights. I don't know if you even know this. Two girls that played on my varsity team my senior year. And that is not a very comfortable situation for a girl to be in. And she's been playing football since I believe she was

a toddler, a running back. She had two touchdowns in one game. The first female to have two touchdowns in one high school game. Wow. And if you watch the film and I've watched it, she's actually running through tackles, break and tackles, and getting in the end zone. So these aren't like, it's not like one yard carry walk-ins?

No, she's actually, she's actually totalling the rock a little bit. That's awesome. And when she got interviewed by it, she was fired up. Talking about, you know, feeding me, hand me the ball even more. You know, actually getting excited about it, telling guys to get off of her in terms of like breaking tackles.

So it's just, it's very dope to see, see her come out of the game, setting records, I'm a big fan of Bella. So shout out to Bella for taking her game to new heights. Taking football to new heights. Yeah. All right now. Well, got week eight coming up. Let's look ahead. Got your buy week coming up. Yeah. Come on, buy week, man. I'll be in, as you know, I'm, you're coming to fill in. Yeah, I'm coming to. Are you, uh, you got any, uh, Halloween plans? No, no, it's Halloween to try. Are you, uh, you got any, uh, Halloween plans? No.

No, is Halloween coming up? It is. It's Monday. I do. I have a costume. I don't know where I'm aware of though. What are you going to be? I, well, that's no fun if you tell somebody

what your costume is going to be. It's the point of showing up and dresses who you are. I never thought about that. But yeah, I think that's the last time you dressed up for Halloween. Huh? When's the last time you dressed up for Halloween. Huh? Was the last time you dressed up for Halloween? Man, um, I don't know.

I dressed up for Easter. I was an Easter bunny this past year. You were. Didn't you scare Wyatt? Yeah. Charified it. Well, big bunnies. Yeah. Big six foot three blow up bunny. Didn't go over well. Uh, this this year we're all going as uh,

Did she scream for dad and dad wasn't there? Did you take off that? I had to take off. Took off running. In front of her. Well, I was just walking around. I was just walking around. I was in one of those big inflatable like half-time suits they wear, that they dancing at like NBA games and stuff. There's a big bunny suit of that. Like I was the Easter bunny, she was freaking out, terrified. And at one point I fall, and then the thing starts and deflating. And I'm like, oh no, she's gonna see me in the suit.

And then be all sorts of like screwed up. So I start sprinting behind the house. It wasn't a good situation. It was a dad fail for sure. Has she since came to the room saying there's a giant bunny. No, she's not a ghost. She's not a bad guy. She's like obsessive about ghosts at this point.

I feel that fire and Kylie hates me for it. I was, oh no ghost and then she knew it. Because if you stopped terrifying it, I can't help it. It's too good. Yeah, we're going as the, the Christopher Robin crew. We're going as a, I'm going to be the poo creatures. You guys nice. So you aren't dressing up this year. I am. I am. Tigger. That's why it's going to be. Why it's going to be Tigger. Nice. Keep going. What do you think? Let's see if he can get a poo. When is this going to be Elliott? Christopher. No. Who is the little, the tiny, uh, that's you? Piglet. Yeah. I did not, was not very proactive. So I think Kylie is a way of spiting me for not buying an outfit.

not very proactive. So I think Kylie is a way of spiting me for not buying an outfit. But I mean a giant piglet outfit. So I'll be piglet. That's why we love Kylie. Yep. She gets it. Yep. She gets it. So moving on to your upcoming week. Steelers Eagles. Yeah. The battle. It's a Vania. Yeah. Has this ever been much of a like a in state rivalry to you? Like, have you felt the rivalry? I mean, it's not like other rivalries for the Eagles, but I do think that there's in state bragging rights for sure. Um, fun fact, the Steelers and Eagles were at one point the same team. They joined forces. I don't know if this is like during a war time or something like that, but they became the steagles for years. Is this for real? I'm not making this up. We guys, this document it is documented. They were the steagles was a real thing. Were they any good? I don't know. No, we don't know how long it existed, but I do know it was a thing. What we do know is that the Steelers haven't won in Philadelphia since 1965.

That's a long time. I guess someone say they do. Hopefully we can keep that trend going. The Steelers did win last week. I know. No, they lost. They lost them. I watched it happen. It was a fight though. It was a good game. Yeah, the Steelers are a good team though. They're really, really good defensively. Obviously, they've been that way for, you know, Tom and his whole career there pretty much. They have a great D line as usual, even without TJ Watt. Kim Hayward is a legend. Yeah, I love that dude, man.

Yeah, I like him when I'm not blocking him, but I do that dude. I don't know if you were as a. It's a big head. It's a big head. We all know what's going on. It's crazy. He's a good player from, yeah, we got our hands full of the stewers.

It's going to shock you with that thing for everybody that wants to know all about the stiggles. It was 1943 and they went five four and one. They tied. So they weren't very yours. Who knows back then, I don't even know where teams actually like going undefeated. I'm pretty sure if you went five four and one you weren't very good.

Middle of the pack maybe. Maybe. It's a winning record technically. I think there are probably only like eight teams in 1943. So. So if they played 10 games they probably played division choice. Have a division choice or something. I don't know who the hell knows.

I don't know. They weren't even they were blocking like this. Yeah. Wouldn't use your hands the block. Oh man. I'm going to do a little offense alignment back then. You kidding me? What?

We talked about Philadelphia Mount Rushmore. And one of the guys that was obviously legendary Philadelphia athlete Charles Barkley was one of the guys I was thinking about are Sir Charles. Who is only is, is, or has only increased post career, I would say. I mean, he crushes it. Yeah, but that was your favorite player growing up. 100%. Was, was he not yours? You know what he probably was. I mean, you know, he was in the

Michael Jordan era. So I mean, he was competing with Jordan. He was the biggest toughest guy on the court. I feel like that was your I mean, I love Joe. Who doesn't like Charles? If you don't like Charles Barkley. Clearly he was Travis's favorite player. I have no story like this. Travis used to run around the neighborhood quite a bit with a playing basketball or baseball or anything like that. And one day we're having a block party and we were kind of new to the neighborhood. We haven't really acquainted ourselves necessarily with our neighbors as much.

Well, I'd be new to the neighborhood. I found the perfect way to introduce myself to everybody. We're running around playing sports out in the street in this block party and my mom is sitting there talking with a bunch of parents and all these parents keep saying, Charles is just so funny. Isn't Charles great? And my mom says, which one's? And they point to you. It turned out you've been done the entire neighborhood. Your name was Charles. Mom. Because you wanted to be Charles Martin Luther.

Mom gave me the name Travis because of a fat kid that was on the movie over. It really was. And that was not something you could hang your hat on. Travis's name, if you've ever seen him on the board with Goldie Hahn and Kurt Russell. Travis is named after one of the fat kids in that shit movie. A very, like not even like a great character in the show.

It really was not a good reason to name a kid. So actually now that you're saying this is how I'm saying. I'm saying I saw a new opportunity to change my name. I don't think I'm named after anything in particular. And I'd rather that be the case than what your name from. To be honest, it was probably like Tracy or something like that. And then when she found out it was a boy, she was like Travis. I love that overboard movie.

So yeah, I thought it would be a great idea. If there was any point in time, I was going would be a great idea. If there was any point in time, I was gonna change my name is when we moved to the new city. I was actually pretty embarrassed when they called my bluff. Some of them called me over like, have you been telling everyone your name's Charles? Actually, Sir Charles, mom.

Shout out to big Chuck, man. What a guy. Thanks for inspiring me. So I don't have to be a big chuck man. What a guy. Thanks for inspiring me. Pete Carroll. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Not a psychology major. Maybe he is a psychology major because he psychologically made me think he was a psychology major.

He's a education major, which kind of feeling you got to know. You got to have a little bit of that in there for sure. There's got to be a little bit of understanding of the brain. Yeah, actually, a lot of great coach just that one's an education major, I think. Yeah. You want to talk about teachers? I mean, teachers that you got to teach the game. We very well could be doing this next week of me telling you that the style is not an education major. But I'm like 90% sure he is an education.

I'm just saying it out majors. You educator. I'm just handing out majors. You get a major and you get a major. Dean Kelsey. Yay! The Ocho is in the books. You can catch new episodes every Wednesday.
