Travis on Crucial Drop, Jason's Tired of Talkin' Tush & Fightin' Grandma with Jimmy Fallon | Ep 154
92%ers, welcome to another episode of New Heights brought to you by Reese’s Oreo® Cups!
Today, we are joined by the incredible host of The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon!
Jimmy joins us to talk about everything from throwing putters into lakes, the secrets to talking football on TV, how to plan a wedding, and he’s got an incredible pitch to Travis for an end zone celebration.
Jason and Travis also talk about everything else from Week 2 in the NFL. We get into the Chiefs coming up short against the Eagles and how he’s feeling about that goal line drop, what the league might do to the “tush push,” why players' only meetings might be a waste of time, Baker’s incredible comeback, and so much more!
We also take some of your calls on the Heights Hotline about getting pulled over, turf toe, and potty training secrets.
We will be back Monday 9/22 with Coach Prime himself, Deion Sanders!
For more Jimmy Fallon, Watch the Tonight Show after SNF starting 9/21 and On Brand starting Tuesday, September 30 at 10/9c on NBC and streaming on Peacock.

This is a real good story about Bronx and his dad Ryan, real United Airlines customers.
We were returning home and one of the flight attendants asked Bronx if he wanted to see the flight deck and meet Kathy and Andrew.
I got to sit in the driver's seat.
I grew up in an aviation family and seeing Bronx kind of reminded me of myself when I was that age.
That's Andrew, a real United Pilot.
These small interactions can shape a kid's future.
It felt like I was the captain.
Allowing my son to see the flight deck will stick with us forever.
That's how good leads the way.
So you never played growing up?
Did you play at all?
Wow, okay.
My friends had like every Thanksgiving, they would have this kind of like Thanksgiving bowl.
The different families would play.
And I remember I joined that once.
My dad was not sporty, so.
No, stickball.
Stickball, yeah.
And he would talk about fist fights.
Yeah, I don't know.
That's not a fun sport.
That's an electric Thanksgiving.
Hey, what are we going to do today?
True thanks for truth thanks for the fight.
Come on, grandma.
Come on, grandma.
Come on.
I mean, my grandma could take a punch, man.

But first, let's get to a special edition of News.
New News
here to help us with this special edition from the College of St.
Rose.
You know him from his six years on Saturday Night Live as the Embbey Award-winning host of the tonight show or
the guy who threw Travis's putter into a lake in Las Vegas.
Please welcome Mr.
Jimmy Fallon.
Oh my goodness, I'm so happy to be here.
Honored.
This is going to be a good one.
This is going to be a good, nice, and long one.
Let's go.
Yeah, let's crush it.
Thanks for having me.
This is incredible.
I'm such a big fan of the show, first-time caller.
I'm just so excited to be here.
I love it.
Dude, I love it.
And Jimmy, thank you for throwing the thing away.
I haven't missed as many putts.
I'm still missing putts, but that putter is you throwing that in the lake made my life so much better on the golf course.
Thank you.
Can I just tell the story just so anyone who hasn't heard it?
I would love to hear it because I've heard Travis's version of this, but I would love to hear Jimmy's version of this.
So I think this is the first time we've ever met, Travis, right?
Yes, yes, at 8 a.m.
8 a.m.
We didn't know each other yet.
We're at a golf tournament.
Justin Timberlake does this golf tournament in Vegas.
We're playing this
course, and
it's Travis and Patrick Mahomes versus me and Justin Timberlake.
And it's great.
And gosh, you guys are really good.
And
I think you ended up winning.
You won the whole tournament, but you didn't like your putts.
You were putting terribly.
It was horrendous.
It was bad.
Pat did all the putting that day.
Yes.
Yeah.
And you were like, dude, but we were having fun.
I was like, dude, we're totally hitting it off.
It was great.
Do you remember?
I had a crazy chip-in shot.
Dude, out of the bunker.
The devil's butthole, dude.
I haven't called a bunker anything but that.
The devil's butthole, dude.
That's the name of that bunker.
And so
I sank it.
It was unbelievable.
right from the bunker into the hole.
So we're on the 17th hole, I want to say, and there's a hole surrounded by water.
And then you missed the putt.
And it was kind of, and you go,
darn it, I missed the putt again.
Like, it's just been terrible today.
And so I looked at you and I said, like, hand it over.
Give it to me.
Yeah, give it.
I'm thinking that he's going to give me the ball.
And I was going to take his ball and throw the.
throw the ball in the lake.
Yes.
Yeah.
So I go, give it to me.
And he, we don't really know each other.
So he just gives me his putter.
putter.
Like, he's going to show me how to do this.
There's a crowd of people watching, Jason.
So my brain had to make a quick decision.
Like,
do I give it back and explain that I wanted to, or just throw the putter into the lake?
So I just roll with it.
I'm like, and I whip the putter into the lake.
And he looked at me like, dude, what?
What are you thinking?
What is wrong with you?
At that point, though, I was like, oh,
I'm free.
Yeah.
I mean, honestly, it sounds like you did you a favor.
Get rid of that fucking thing.
That putting was not what it was.
That was the worst thing ever, dude.
You were like, dude, what?
And I go, and even Timberlake was like, why would you do that, bro?
That's so rude.
I go,
yeah, because I'm like, I didn't even know you, but you were swore about it and laughed about it.
And I think that putter is still at the bottom of the lake.
Never made it out.
Nope.
The wind ended up naming it after me, saying you got to know when to fold them.
You got to know when to hold them.
Yeah.
Is it Travis Lake or is it like, yeah, Lake Travis over there at the wind?
Anybody you can go over to the wind if you end up playing the wind golf course, it's right there on between 17 and 18.
I told them that they should put
a GoPro Remember forever, man.
They should install a GoPro camera underwater, like a live stream of just fish swimming past your putter.
Yeah, why not?
I mean, next time, Jimmy, just do us all a favor and just throw Travis into the lake.
That's how you elevate this.
That's the next move.
Yes, yes.
I'm going to be checking my six every single time.
Hey!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!
1587 Prime.
Dude, if you ever find yourself in Kansas City, dude.
I got a nice football that was sent to me from Travis for the new steakhouse.
It's officially happening.
It's officially happening, yeah.
Actually, as this airs, the day this airs on Wednesday,
it'll be up and running.
It'll be the first day open to the public.
Are you working on planning the wedding?
Are you doing this now?
Is that the next step?
Yeah, that's the next step.
That's the next step.
And it all.
Don't stress about it, too.
I remember thinking about it with my wife.
That one's going to be easy.
I just got to figure out if I win a football game first.
Yeah, you got to do one of that.
It'll be easy compared to trying to figure out how to touch a goddamn football.
Yeah.
Are you going to do DJ or band?
Are you thinking about all this stuff?
Yeah, I think we're live music kind of people, you know?
I've seen you perform.
You have to.
Oh, that's right.
8 a.m.
8 a.m.
You did ACDC live with the band.
It was one of the best things I've ever heard.
Jason, you must have seen Travis.
I've seen all of them.
You've seen all of them.
Well, I've seen these all growing up.
He's always had this in his bag.
He's been a man of entertainment since the beginning.
So this is not.
I just go up there and I send it.
I'm no Mustang Sally when Jimmy gets up there.
You know what I'm saying?
That one I really, oh, yeah, I really.
You looked at him and like told him like what like cord to be in and everything.
And like which, like, I was just like, oh,
I don't know.
You look so much more more professional up there.
I was just like, You said something.
All right, hey, minor.
No more fun, no more fun.
Keyc, and I better, this better, I better look good right now.
Yeah, and you know, and you know, who never sings?
Timberlake, JT, dude.
He gets out of it every year.
And I go, dude, this is you are a singer.
Why is this?
True, isn't it here to see you potentially sing?
Yes.
I will say this.
He asked me this past year to do a duet to like go up there with him.
What?
You didn't do that?
Dude, I was so shit-faced.
I was
skill hammered.
I was like, no, no, no, I can't go up there.
I won't be able, I won't sound good.
I can't even see the words from the stage.
So, JT, I got you next year, though.
I'll sober up by the time karaoke comes around.
And I'll follow that.
We're open for you guys.
I know we're going to talk about
some football stuff, but I also, when we get to it, I brought some questions for you guys as well.
Oh, perfect.
Overprepared.
Let's get to it right now.
Let's jump into it.
So, first of all, can you give us a new news?
We have a new news call.
We would love to have a Jimmy Fallon version of our new news call.
So, typically, we'll say, new news, new news, but whatever artistic
this is your freedom to lead us into this segment, please.
So, new news.
New news.
New news.
Perfect.
Nailed it.
Delay, it's nailed it.
It sounds very hard.
It sounds like three white people clapping.
It's really
new news is: I have a brand new show called On Brand.
It's on NBC.
It's a business reality
competition show.
If you like, Shark Tank meets The Apprentice meets Project Runway.
You're digging
Tuesday, September 30th, after The Voice, and it's super fun.
It's like Marshall.
This is the best new news we got today, baby.
Let's go.
This is sweet.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, it turned out great.
It's like all these people from around the country and they come up with ideas for, like, say, Duncan, like,
what is your new campaign, a new marketing campaign?
Blah, blah, blah.
We have Therabody.
We have Southwest Airlines.
We just went all through all these different brands.
And some of these ideas are fantastic.
Some are terrible, but that's what makes the show.
That's when you come up with good ideas.
You have to have the terrible ideas along the way to come up with good stuff.
Dude, I was hoping for bad ideas because I go, sometimes when I watch like American Idol, I don't even make it to the end of the show.
I want to watch the bloopers or the bad auditions at the beginning.
And I'm like, that's the best part.
It's still good branding.
So this William Hung.
William Hung.
That's She Banks.
William Hung is what's what I wanted.
I'm like, please, someone.
So I got one.
The first episode, this woman who's a real estate.
I picture William Hung.
I got my William Hung.
She's pitching an idea for Duncan.
And she's like, y'all, y'all, I know y'all have munchkins, but what I think you should have is a munch box.
So you're munching on your munch box, and you're munching on your box, and you're munching.
And she keeps saying, God,
innocently, by the way.
Not even registered.
She's going right over.
And I'm crying, dude.
I'm like a kid in the playground.
I'm like,
and she kept saying,
it's like, what's in your munch box?
What's in your box?
Well, I'm just munching away.
And I go, stop saying munch box this is insanity and the guy and the guy from duncan looked at me like is this show for real like is this like are we gonna get all bad ideas like this he was like i i don't know dude it was the funniest thing ever and you'll see it in the first app but it was like turned out
i cannot wait to watch that that's not
picture uh yeah so that that's happening but then we're also doing sunday night tonight shows after football
on nbc so which is a big deal for us the first one is september 21st it's the uh chiefs versus the giants yeah coming up this weekend baby coming up this weekend let's go baby now what what
is your first win then right into jimmy on fell and let's go come on now so so so we're doing four of these special post-sunday night football shows right yeah and what is the i guess what is it what is that going to entail is it like interviews and like you guys just talking ball what is it No, it's going to be like kind of like the normal tonight show.
We got big guests like this weekend.
We have Matthew McConaughey and Eric Church.
Okay, nice.
But we're going to talk about
churches.
University of Texas, I think.
But I think we'll talk about, we'll have some football jokes in the monologue up top, maybe some sports themes, something in there, just so that football fans have something to watch after the game.
Sometimes you watch the game, even if sometimes if it's a Super Bowl, they go, and stay tuned for America's Favorite Dog.
Why?
That's the worst part of this.
This is an interesting segue.
Yeah.
You go, what is it?
I'm still all jacked up from that finish in the football game.
I'm trying to see something.
I'm trying to hear more about this game that just happened.
Yes.
I'm in the party mood.
Yeah, I want to hear our church.
I want to keep the party going.
I don't want to, yeah, yeah, like America's next best tap shoe.
And we're going to invent a tap shoe.
And you go, wait, why are you airing this after football?
This is odd.
So, anyway, so it's going to be fun.
We have four shots at it.
Uh,
this weekend is the first big one, and I'm uh, I'm excited.
I mean, it's New York, which is where I'm from, but you know, I got it, my, my heart's with the Kelseys.
So, where
well, I guess, is there any way we can either help you prepare for talking ball or how
ready do you feel to discuss football after Sunday night?
So, not ready at all.
The worst,
I'm so bad.
Mike Tarico let me be a commentator during the closing ceremony of the Olympics on NBC.
And I realized how hard that job is.
Well, Mike makes it seem really easy.
He is the pro.
I kept talking like I didn't want any dead air at all.
And I was sweating, flop sweating.
I was like,
yeah, these Olympians are great, Mike.
They're swimming in the swimming pool.
And the water, water is.
And he was looking at me like, stop talking.
At one point, he just grabbed my hand and he squeezed my hand like, stop.
It's going to be all right.
Just stop talking and let these athletes speak for themselves.
Dude, it was the hardest gig ever.
So, yes, I need some help.
Give me some lingo or what do I talk about?
There's going to be no talk about tush pushing.
So,
it's a hot topic right now in the NFL.
Hot topic, hot top tush push.
But the Giants and the Chiefs, you guys are tush pushes.
They're not tush pushes.
We're not pushers.
No, we're not pushers of the tush.
No, you're not pushes of the tush.
The giants, is this going to be a running game?
Is this going to be a a passing game?
Well, the Giants just threw for like 450 yards this past week against Dallas.
That was it.
Russell Wilson went off.
Russell Wilson, my man.
I love that, dude.
Two big-time quarterbacks.
So
I think we're going to be airing it out this weekend.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Now,
a 7-10 coverage?
Is that what we're talking about?
7-10 coverage.
Coverages typically don't go higher than four.
Everything I learned about football, I know from John Madden.
Nice.
That's a good start.
Dude, that is a great start.
Okay.
So we learned everything.
Who was your team in Madden?
Houston Oilers.
Warren Moon.
Warren Moon.
Warren Moon.
Let's go, man.
I love his last name.
It's Moon.
He had number one on the jersey.
I'm like,
what's cool with him?
That was a very cool best friend.
All my friends were like, what?
Goat colors.
Yes, it was the best.
But my dad didn't know anything about football.
And so he was from Brooklyn.
And so he knew about like, you know, stick ball and like fistbiting
nothing nothing
no I so I really knew nothing about football I had a nerf uh football we used to play you know and in in high school I think I tried out for the team but it was one of those small towns that if your dad didn't work for the team you you weren't going to get picked yeah and so I didn't get picked and also I'm not that athletic but I remember I had a nerf football and I bought a helmet and shoulder pads at a garage sale and I would just what an and I had a chain link fence and I would wear this shoulder pads and a helmet with a nerf football.
And
I'd be by myself.
Dude, I love it.
I had no one to pass to.
I had no one to, I was by myself throwing the ball in the air and catching it and then running.
So you never played growing up?
No.
My friends had like, every Thanksgiving, they would have this kind of like tournament, almost like a.
Thanksgiving bowl.
They called it, they were on Cherry Lane, so they called it the Cherry Bowl.
And all the dads would come out and play against the other dads and the different families would play.
Yeah, and I remember I joined that once.
My dad was not uh sporty, so no, stickball, stickball, yeah, yeah,
and he would talk about fist fights because he was
not a fun sport.
That's an electric Thanksgiving.
Hey, what are we gonna do today?
Come on, Mama, come on, grandma!
Come on, dude, I need she, my grandma could take a punch, man.
The best my neighbor be fighting my grandma.
Yeah, why not?
It's fun.
What a great Thanksgiving.
It's fun.
What a great Thanksgiving.
I cut into the Turkey.
I have some questions for you guys.
Oh, come on.
What do you got?
Shoot.
All right, without naming the coach, what is the worst halftime speech you've ever heard?
Ooh, oh, man.
So in college, Jason will remember this.
Oh,
this is a great poll.
This is one of our polls.
Do you want to do the honors?
I don't know if I can.
We're playing like crap against, we're supposed to be kicking the crap out of like this lower division school or whatever, and we're not playing well through the first half.
And we come in for halftime, and we're just getting motherfucked left and right.
And he's like, it's like zero motivation.
There's no motivation like it is just ripping ass.
I don't know who the fuck you guys think you are going out there and performing like it is just like an ass chewing, deservedly so.
And then at some point, he was so mad, there was like recruits.
So at college games, a lot of times there's recruits that are there.
They're like, Hey, like, this is how they do it at Tinsinati.
Like, come and check us out.
This is what the halftime is.
Come to our school.
You'll love it.
And in the middle of this rant, this coach goes, he sees this kid in the back.
The kid's wearing his high school jersey and his jersey's number four.
There were two kids, though.
There were two kids.
One kid looked like he should already be in the NFL.
The kid that he saw looked like he shouldn't even be playing high school football.
Like, it was kind of like, oh, yeah, bring your buddy.
And
like, kind of like they're wearing their jersey their high school jerseys in the locker room and everything and in the middle of this entire rant he's crushing us he makes somehow he makes eye contact with this poor kid in the back of the room and he says who the fuck is 53
and the kid goes pale
like he just saw a ghost who's just
all eyes from around the room turned right to him and he's got 50 he like looked at his jersey like he didn't know what number he was anymore
you guys told me to come here what do you think
that's so funny man
that was wild that was a great one yeah oh i have a a question that i think would be very out of the fit the four big four sports uh football baseball basketball and hockey Which athletes are the biggest partiers?
Take your time in this.
I'm going to write down my guess.
I think I already have the answer.
What kind of partying?
Like drinkers or like just
everything.
The most getting after it.
Who gets after it?
Yeah.
So football, baseball, basketball, hockey.
What do you think, Jason?
I think it's hockey by far.
Baseball, maybe.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I wrote down hockey.
There's some baseball guys that can get after it.
Football, there's football guys that can get after it, but there's a whole nother side of football that like doesn't do it at all.
Hockey, pretty routinely.
Yes, I agree.
like those dudes are out and about in a great way and scary almost to a certain point where you go I'm gonna they played stickball and fist fought when they grew up
yeah any sport where it's like a badge of honor to be missing teeth
those guys get after it those guys typically get after it i used to live down the street from my man claude giroux and i would hang out with a bunch of the flyers when uh they were all there and Scott Hartnell and those guys.
And
Giroux, every time we were out, he just wanted to arm wrestle me.
I'm like, dude, can we just like drink and have fun?
I don't want to arm wrestle right now.
This is like a lose-lose for me.
If I lose to you, you're like twice, I'm twice your size.
I look like I suck.
And if I beat you, I'm just like this meathead arm wrestling another guy in the bar.
I just, no,
I was friends with one Ranger and he came to a game.
He goes, let me know where you are because I'm going to punch someone or get in a fight with someone.
It's their experience.
And look at you
for you.
I'm going to punch him.
But I go, don't do that for me.
I don't
talk about it.
Dude, I'm just here to watch it.
And he did it.
He grabbed some dude.
As soon as they started, just started punching and then found me in the crowd.
It's like, Jimmy, thanks for giving me that.
That's epic.
I didn't ask for this.
Of course not.
You had to feel pretty honored when it happened, though.
I was familiar.
I felt pretty tough.
Yeah.
I looked at a couple of grandmas.
I was about to say, it was like when grandma knocked out your neighbor.
Jimmy, this is for you.
I'm thankful for you.
It's so good.
Travis, for the next touchdown you score, would you be willing to do a special celebration to let me know you're thinking of me?
Almost like that hockey dude.
I mean, I feel like it's got to be the same thing.
We got to go.
In New York, I'm getting
in New York.
We got to go fist fight in New York.
I was thinking this.
What if you want to?
I'm just going to take my gloves off and
jump into the crowd.
Sit down in the end zone with your legs crossed, pretend that you're holding a saucer and sit from the teacup with your pinky out.
Oh, okay.
Deal, that is, are you kidding me?
The zen I will feel in that moment
is going to be so perfect.
I like you finding the nearest grandma and just cold talking.
That's what I would use, Grady.
You.
Jimmy, that's for you, Jimmy.
There's going to be people dressed up as grandmas.
You know it.
Everyone's going to be wearing a wig and dressed like grandmas and wearing the sweaters and all that stuff.
I'm going to get a fine and it's going to be worth every penny.
Jimmy, is there anything else as far as football is concerned that you feel like you want to discuss?
You feel pretty revved up about this?
I mean, I'm excited about this.
I just don't want to
get too into it that it seems like I'm fake because I only know my knowledge is only from really watching the games and playing John Madden football.
I'll tell you this.
I think there's enough people trying to get really in the weeds or acting like they know football.
We need people that know they don't really know football and just enjoy and talking.
Just enjoy
more.
Just enjoy watching the game, watching guys get their fucking head taken.
It's a different perspective.
I can't wait to watch this.
This is going to be so much fun.
It's going to be good.
It's going to be fun.
It's a party.
Keep the party going after the game.
And
Travis, this is the win.
This is the first one.
Come on, baby.
Come on.
This is what I'm talking about, dude.
This is what we've been waiting for, okay?
People are watching.
Enough is enough.
Hide your grandmas in New York, motherfuckers.
Don't be at 53.
Don't be at 53.
And Travis Kelsey has gotten in for his third score.
He's already knocked out two older ladies.
Let's see if he goes for a third.
Patrick, baby, I'm going for that.
Jimmy, thank you so much, brother.
Check out Jimmy this Sunday after the game, after the Chiefs, New York Giants game.
Can't wait to watch it, man.
I'll be on a plane watching it, enjoying every minute of it, man.
You guys are the best.
Keep up the good work.
And anytime, I'd love to come back and you can come on the show and whatever.
Keep up the good work.
You guys are the the best.
Bye, Joe.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you to Jimmy Fallon for hopping on.
That was fucking incredible.
You're the man.
I love that guy.
And then the last bit of new news, we have a very special guest episode dropping Monday, September 22nd.
Oh, yeah.
Should we reveal who it is?
I don't know.
It's fucking Deion Sanders.
Let's go.
Prime time.
Prime time, baby.
Must be the money.
Yeah, baby.
So very excited to get Prime on.
Turfs, man.
Let's go.
Once again.
Thank you to our partner, Reese's Oreo Cups.
Reese's Oreo Cups, your dreams have finally come true.
That's right.
And more importantly, so have ours.
It's Oreo Cookie Crumbs included in Reese's Cup.
I mean, this is like the greatest of all time, most Hall of Fame worthy candy collab ever.
And I feel like if this candy was an athlete, they'd be, I I don't know, playing two Division I sports in college and then get drafted first round, pick one for both.
The Reese's Oreo Cups, we can finally stop dreaming about them and start eating them.
Available everywhere candy is sold and probably a few other places too.

Thank you to our sponsor, General Mills.
Hey, remember when we were talking about Jeddah's Mix a few weeks ago?
Oh,
that's right.
Well, our friends at General Mills just sent us a box to taste test it all out ourselves.
That's right.
And you got to hear about this epic cereal collab.
It didn't last more than a day in my house.
Well, Justin Jefferson brought his unique mix to the breakfast table with Jeddah's mix.
That's right.
We've got frosted lemon Cheerios mixed with cinnamon toast crunch, strawberry.
Yeah, you heard that right.
The perfect balance of fruity citrus and sweet strawberry cinnamon, creating a flavor combination that seriously is next level.
Jason, can you please tell us and try this cereal for me?
It's oddly satisfying watching you enjoy this.
There's something nice about the lemon and the milk, and I don't know, it's almost
like refreshing, like a lemon meringue pie or something.
Yeah, like there's a there's a there's a nice hint of that.
You also get the benefit of, I don't know, having Justin Jefferson on a box.
Yeah, you're not going to want to sleep on this one.
Find Jeddah's mix at your local retailer while supplies last.
You'll want to get your hands on this game-changing mix before they're all gone.
There we go.
Shout out to Jeddah himself.
But before that, we're going to get to some bold topics to wrap up week two around the NFL.
Let's do it, man.
My day was going great.
I forgot about this game, put it in the past.
Let's fucking talk about it, Jason.
Yeah, let's bring it back up to the forefront and give the people what they want.
Questions?
Chief 17.
Well, they want to hear some perspective.
Chiefs, 17, Eagles 20.
Trav, initial thoughts from this game.
Got to catch the ball.
Got to catch the ball.
We give ourselves a chance.
Right now, we're
just not executing to
the degree that we hold ourselves accountable to.
And that's just,
it starts up top with Coach Reed and how he holds us accountable.
And then, you know, us players got to hold each other accountable.
I got to be there for my guys, man, knowing that they put a lot on my plate to
be a good player for this team.
And I need to fucking answer that bell, man.
And 0-2 start is not how you envision the year starting.
Played two solid teams.
I mean, the Chargers looked great again last night against the Raiders, but
Philly's still got a lot, a lot of great players on that team.
Obviously, I love all the coaches and everybody over there.
And we just got to get this thing fucking, we got to get the train rolling on the right tracks, man.
For sure.
And we're a play here and a play there away from,
you know, being 2-0.
And that's what we see when we watch the film.
And, you know,
it's all about just keep coming to work every single day and getting right.
You brought up the drop passer up front.
So I think maybe we go straight to that.
That's fine.
You know, I think Pat Mahomes after the game, of course, like everybody else is going to put it on him.
He said, you know, throw a tad early.
The ball was where it needed to be, when it needed to be there.
I just got to get my head around out of the break.
And I shot you that text telling you that.
It's one of those plays where it happens, bang, bang.
And I know that that's.
the window that it needs to be in.
I know what's coming out of armpits and ear holes of the offense and defensive line getting their hands up.
And I just got to be able to get my head around right now so that I don't put myself in a position to let the ball surprise me like that.
Gotcha.
And it's just, it's frustrating, man.
I've scored on that play a million times in my life and
obviously exaggerated, but it's just, it's something that should have never happened.
And then, yeah, it cost us.
It cost us big time.
And that shit hurts, but we'll get it fixed.
I hear you.
Well, I have no doubt you guys are going to get it fixed.
Let's go right into this.
One of the the highlights of the freaking play was my man Josh Simmons hitting 18 miles an hour.
I know we don't want to talk about that, but it was a fucking great hustle play by an offensive tackle.
Obviously,
the beginning portion of it was rough, but I could not help but be kind of awed at this big man rumbling and bumbling down the
unbelievable athletes.
Showed tremendous effort on that play to save a touchdown and
give our defense a chance to at least hold them.
And I love them for it, man.
It's effort like that that's going to have us
in a good position
moving on here.
And I think
as long as we keep
that kind of effort, that kind of focus throughout the year, throughout the work week and everything, we're going to get this execution thing figured out, man.
And Josh, man,
we already knew he was a specimen.
But that might have been my first time seeing him really take an aid.
Open it up.
Open the gate up.
You know what that reminds me of?
Have you ever seen the clip of Larry Allen?
It's one of my favorite O-line clips.
It's one of the most impressive things I've ever seen.
I had to have.
Do you feel that
you guys are the expectation that you guys hold yourself to and the way it's unfolded the first two weeks, like, do you feel like you're so pressing to get that first win that like there's is it like pressing too hard?
I don't know if that makes sense.
This is a bit of like, yeah, because you try and you, you, you know, how good you could be.
And, you know, when things aren't going smooth and the plays aren't being made, you try and turn into Superman and you try and do too much.
And that's what you mean by pressing: is that you try and do more than what is asked of you on a certain play of a certain moment and of a certain decision.
It's like, oh, do I just do the routine thing or I do something spectacular and try and make it all work?
Yes.
And I think there's a little bit of that, at least from me.
Yeah.
I definitely felt that.
I felt that in the first game.
Not as much on this game.
But at the same time, it's like those instincts will come.
Those instincts will come.
And
I think just running this Andy Reid offense, which
hasn't failed us yet,
I think running that offense to a T is and just doing what our coaches ask us to do, our teammates ask us to do.
I think keeping that focus going forward with
keeping the energy up and keeping the focus up and the attention to detail up, I think that'll, it'll all iron itself out.
One of the more things that I think is difficult as a leader and being a guy that people look to
on game day is knowing, like, when am I encouraging?
When am I,
and it takes a sense.
And I know that you, Chris Jones, Pat, Andy is the best at it, in my opinion.
It's like, when is it like, come on, let's go.
We got this, we got this.
And then when is it like enough is enough, or like you're not seeing a response, and you need to create a scene to elicit the response from your teammates and everybody else.
And sometimes it's even trying to elicit a response from yourself, but it's like, there's like this fine line that is, is difficult to navigate that I think, especially when
you know it needs to get corrected, you've been around, and
you're, you can't waste more time
where it's like, I don't know, is any of this making sense?
I always find that.
I know exactly what you're saying.
I think you kind of got to be in the, in the heat of the battle and on the sidelines and amongst the team to feel when you need that and how to navigate that for sure.
But like you said, Coach Reed does it the best, man.
I follow his lead and a lot of that kind of stuff.
And
when he asked me to, you know, pick the juice up or,
you know, start playing with some piss and vinegar or
however you want to say it.
No, start showing some emotion.
Like, God damn, this is.
Fucking tuxedo off and put the blue jeans on, baby.
Let's, let's get this thing rolling.
Here we go.
You know,
I think Coach Reed does it, does it best, man?
I just follow his lead
in that department.
Well, let's get to
what everyone is mad about, which is the tush push.
Well, I don't know that everybody's mad about it.
It's definitely being made up to be a big thing online, which I get.
I mean, listen, the one on the go line, and I do think this play.
People love to point out the false start thing.
I think it is very difficult when you see these things in real time.
I think people don't realize how fraction of a second we're talking about here.
The one on the goal line.
Yeah, I hear you.
You know, it's either you get caught or you don't.
Either way, you got to stop the play.
And, you know, things like this happen.
Refs miss calls all the fucking time.
Keep it moving.
I'll say,
because there's been alleging that like this is an on-purpose thing that guys are going off sides.
As an offensive line, it's imperative that you get off on the snap.
So you're doing the best you can to get off on it before the defender gets off on it and exactly when that verbiage comes out of the quarterback's mouth.
You're trying to time it up perfectly.
And sometimes you're a little bit early.
And I'll tell you this, as an offensive lineman, you'd rather be early than late because if you're late, it is a very hard play to execute.
But I think the Eagles, and I mean this, they're going to be under a microscope moving forward.
Everybody is going to be looking at this because of what happened, not just against you guys, but this first week too,
everybody's taking pictures of it.
They're saying they're in the neutral zone.
They're saying they're false starting because they slow it down to like a thousand frames per second.
Yeah,
so they need to be very, very cautious because the calls are going to be starting to come and they should be.
Like, once the once it's out there and there's video evidence, rightfully so, the officials are going to be.
For those of you that don't understand how the NFL and these kind of plays work, whether it's you know a guy that that tugs in routes, a guy that or wide receiver that uses his hands and uses his arms as levers.
If guys are doing something that's playing that line of legal or illegal on the field, it's like
those tapes get sent into the NFL to review.
So those tapes get eyeballs from the NFL, from these refs, and they get notes.
And
then the refs the next week go into the game like, hey, 8-7, make sure, you know what I mean, you're not using your arms at the top of your brakes.
Make sure you're not, you know, grabbing on guys, yanking on guys, doing things that you shouldn't be doing that you were doing last week.
So everything gets sent to the NFL for review, and the refs then start to look for these things the following week or the weeks after.
And this is my point of the official is 70 feet away on the sideline, and he's trying to look down a line and gauge sometimes inches, right?
And see who's in the neutral zone, who's getting it off.
It's a very tough play for him.
I do not relish the difficulty of that.
And then once you go on and you start putting this out on tape, like I guarantee
the team that the Eagles are playing this week, they're throwing in all of these clips to the NFL, as well as everybody else on social media.
The refs are going to be trying to, they're going to be looking for anything to call.
That's the thing, is that now that it's been made a big deal, they're definitely going to be looking for it.
Yeah.
And listen, they're going to get a couple calls, and that's how, that's in some ways the way it levels out over time, right?
And I think that we need to give the line judges, I said this on monday night count i think we need to give the line judges binoculars like i think that they need to be able to peek down the line and get a zoomed in because that's the that's the view that everybody at home's getting they're getting the the zoomed in like great look at it that the line official doesn't get granted so yeah just kind of maybe it's a one one piece just maybe it's a telescope do we go telescope on the sideline
I will say this.
I thought the Chiefs defended it pretty damn.
It was the best I've seen the Chiefs defend that play.
They kind of stopped him on two of them from a yard, which is, I mean, that's a very hard play to stop for a yard.
Chris Jones is coming off the rock.
He got some knockback on a few of them.
It's a very hard play to defend as is.
So,
yeah, got to do your job on second and third, man.
Don't get caught in those situations.
I don't know.
I'm also kind of tired of it.
I'm tired of talking about it.
Yeah.
That's the reality of it.
Like, I get that there's like a hair of a second early on some of these.
Some of of them are legitimate false starts.
Some of them, I feel like, fall well within the parameters of any other short-yardage play.
And here's the other thing.
The false start thing, that thing is going to happen, whether it's a tush-push or a regular quarterback sneak.
Guards are going to be trying to time them out the snap.
Good guards on short-yardage runs are going to be trying to time out the snap.
Like, that's how if you're late, you're going to be screwed.
So
it's not like they're trying to false start.
There were a couple that were questionable.
There was the one for sure that was very obvious that they were early.
Yeah, and the other ones, you can question them whether you want to get down to the millisecond or whatnot.
It's just,
it's not the reason why we lost the game.
I don't care what anybody else says about that.
We should have won that game
in other aspects of the entire four quarters that we played football.
And congrats to the Eagles.
Fuck it.
Keep it moving, man.
Let's get to the rest of week two.
Some of the other big stories around the league.
Players-only meetings.
they had a few teams have some player only meetings dolphins held a player only meeting after week one lost to the colts uh lost to the patriots 33 to 27 this week they put up a few more points tyree hill my guy tita finally got in the three digits again um getting the ball thrown his way do players
players only meetings work
um have you guys ever done this i've done i've i've had a few of them you're in a really bad state once you get to players meetings yeah that's what like it's not a good place to be usually.
It's not like that meeting is going to be like some movie
moment, motivational moment where everything finally clicks.
Like, if you're doing a players-only meeting, it's because some shit is like you've seen some shit going on for a long time and you finally get sick of it and have to say something.
My view of players-only meetings, and I was a part of them and I talked in them.
A lot of the times, once you get to this point, it's because you really don't know how to fix fix the issue.
It's like a last resort to try and, like,
hey, we don't have an answer from a play calling standpoint or from like an actual legitimate reason to improve our play on the field.
So we're going to have a players-only meeting to motivate guys and make a difference.
And sometimes it does.
Like, I'm not trying to say that they don't work at all.
I just think by the time you're getting to players-only meetings, I feel like it's like almost like you're resorting to this last-stitch effort to make some overarching correction.
But like if you knew what was causing the issue, you just go up to the coach or the player or the guy in particular.
Or like, it just feels like they're always like these overarching things that usually don't accomplish much, if I'm being honest.
Yeah.
I can't remember one where I was.
I won a lot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it has to happen.
At some point, you try to keep accountability.
And like, it gets to a point where once you've lost, and like the Dolphins, they've lost, like, they, they're playing terrible.
So, like, you try to preserve the player buy-in and the guys on the team as, like, hey, man, we got to do this.
We got to take ownership.
So, like, it kind of has to happen, but usually once it gets to that point, it's like you're so deflated and defeated.
But I don't know.
I don't know.
It's a long year.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Who knows what was said in this players-only meeting?
Obviously, they came out and put up a pretty damn good effort against the the Patriots.
They lost to the Patriots, Travis.
Drake May fucking looked like all-pro
Jason.
I still play.
You can say that.
That's fair.
I shouldn't say that either.
This is the real problem I have with Players-only meetings.
Like, what the fuck are we saying in here that we don't want to say in front of the coaches?
I don't understand.
Like, the only reason you're doing this is if you don't want the coaches to hear it, or like you're afraid that you saying something is going to be taken a certain way by a coach.
so why the fuck are you saying like just
like just go and say this to the coach if this is how you feel just go and say it like i don't understand what the purpose of i hear you hey let's not have the coaches in here and then say a bunch of stuff like a lot of times honestly this is what i truly feel it's players just trying to make like a show of like
it's time to have that players only meeting yeah we got to take accountability it's like how about we just say this in front of a team meeting in front of everybody why do we need to do this without the coach like are you nervous to say i never felt like i'm not going to say this because the coach is in here i'm just like listen i'm going to tell you what i actually think is going to help make us better why would i not say that to the coach i'm not going to be a dickhead about it i'm like listen i think that if we ran the ball and did some play action it'll help our offense out i'm going to say that if i think that
i'm also going to say like hey if you're not accountable if you're not paying attention to meetings and then mas are happening i'm going to say that like i don't know what is happening in the players only meeting that can't just be said in front of the coaches i've never felt like it made much sense to me.
Who's the one guy in the National Football League that you think has had the most player coaches, players-only meetings?
Do you have somebody in mind?
Is that why you're saying this?
Who has had the most players-only meetings?
Gosh, I'm trying to think of who is that guy that's calling them?
I wonder if that's out there.
Well, you never know who calls it unless you're on the team, but we all know the kind of guys that are calling for them.
Let's see.
It's a defensive player for sure.
Let's see.
I don't know who you're about to say.
I was going to say,
I'll text you.
All right.
Here we go.
Let's keep it going.
One of the other bold topics from this week, Ben Johnson returned to Detroit, and Detroit returned to what Detroit had been doing.
That was kind of wild.
The Lions struggled against Green Bay, which kind of makes Green Bay look easy.
No, listen, Green Bay's got some guys.
They've got some guys
on both sides of the ball.
And obviously, they've been doing it for a while.
But Ben Johnson returned to Detroit was not what he was hoping for with a 5-21 loss to the Lions.
Oh, he was met with fuck Ben Johnson chance.
That seems a bit aggressive for a guy that really was really good for the Lions.
Detroit is a fucking tough city, man.
A lion, I kind of love it.
That's the way it works.
That's the the way it works, man.
Dan Campbell accused of running up the score.
I mean, 55 points is a lot.
What were they doing at the end of it, though?
What's he supposed to do?
Yeah.
I'm not going to lie.
What's the guy up by a certain amount?
I was like, yeah, I'm kind of good.
Ben Johnson
responded, what's he supposed to do?
Yeah, he could have kicked a field goal.
They don't kick field goals.
They go for it there.
That's what he does.
I'm on Ra.
So the team was more fired up, especially the offense.
We were fired up.
What he did for us, I mean, we'll never take that for granted.
He was a big part of what we did here.
But just him being over there, we wanted to show that we can still do this as players.
We can still make it happen.
We got a great group of guys, a great group of coaches.
So we wanted to go out there and have a little show.
Yeah.
I think it was definitely
more so what they showed in week one and kind of the accusations that were being thrown out there that, oh, can they do this without Ben Jackson?
That's what I feel like makes this one unique.
Like Brandon has in the rundown, the question, does playing former coaches get you fired up?
Usually I'm excited about it.
Like there's not any animosity at all.
No, no, no, no.
I think what makes this one unique is that Ben, I think, was credited for a lot of the Lions' success as an offense and as a team because he was such a great play caller and schemer.
And I think that can lead to players being like, hey,
he ain't the one out here playing at the end of the day.
We're the one out here still doing this thing.
And that's not a slight against Ben Johnson, but his players, I could easily see them being fired up to go and prove to people, especially with the scrutiny they face not being able to do it the week before against Green Bay, to go out there and put on a show.
Absolutely.
But I never felt that way playing former coaches.
No, never.
No.
What was I going to say?
Ben Johnson, no former coach.
No, I mean, I love Doug.
Nobody.
When a coach gets fired, like, it ain't like he left.
Like, Ben got, Ben didn't get fired.
He left for greener pastures or to be a head coach.
I do think Detroit looked really good.
They They still don't, they don't have the ground game that they've had in the past.
And I think Ragnall retiring, Zeitler leaving, like it hasn't manifested, especially with the two backs they have quite yet in the way they used to be able to do it.
So I'll be looking, I can't wait to watch more of that throughout the season.
But this was a big bounce back game for Detroit.
Jared Goff was out of his mind.
I'm Rossi Brown was playing unbelievable.
So that'll be fun to keep watching these guys because they're a fun team to watch.
They're really, really fun.

Let's get to the next segment.
Bringing back a New Heights classic segment.
Oh, yeah, baby.
Stamp of the week.
We did this last week.
Bringing it back again.
Stamp of the Week is brought to you by American Express.
Ooh, nice.
We got a lot of great options, Trav.
I'll let you think about potentially the football player you want to stamp.
I'm going to stamp our coach.
That's right.
From Cleveland Heights High School, Mr.
Mike Joe.
Mike Joe.
Coach Joe.
You're ridiculous.
Shout out to Coach Jones.
What's the big guy up to?
Our high school football coach, Coach Mike Jones, has got a birthday coming up.
He's turning 60 on September 9th.
Jesus.
How about that?
How about it, baby?
Happy birthday, Coach.
Happy birthday, Coach.
That's right.
That's right.
He's also, just found this out from his wife.
Coach Jones is retiring.
What?
Yeah, man.
Coach, he's hanging it up.
He's not allowed to quit.
He's hanging it up.
He's retiring as a coach or?
Well, he's kind of been out of coaching, I think.
He's been doing the health and PE.
He's always going to be a coach.
Yeah.
So, yeah, Coach Jones is hanging it up.
Well, Coach, congratulations on an unbelievable career.
You got two knuckleheads that appreciated every word of advice and every disciplinary action that you gave us.
I know it's one of my favorite sayings of all time.
Hit him.
Hit it.
Don't be a GDI.
Don't be a GDI.
Don't be afraid individual.
Goddamn individual, son.
I've been saying GDI in the back of my head when I see somebody out here just doing some like
doing their own shit that's just fucking pointless or silly as fuck.
I think the kids now call it aura farming.
Have you heard of this?
No, I don't even know what that means.
I'll keep it moving though.
Kojo is one of the most like
as a high school football coach.
It's like exactly who you want.
He was a guy that just loved his players.
He was a mentor to so many of the kids in Cleveland Cleveland Heights, and he has been,
still is, and he's been embedded in the community for a very long time.
So, Coach, we're very happy for you.
Hell yeah.
Congrats on an incredible career and a meaningful career in the community of Cleveland Heights.
And happy birthday.
Happy birthday, big guy.
Oh, man.
Well,
I would say this might be a little deflating after such a great stamp of the week.
Probably should have ended with that one.
But
I'm going with my guy, Baker Mayfield, even though Mac Jones was a close one.
Mac Jones was a close one.
Mac came in.
Sam Fran?
Yeah, Sam Fran played his ass off.
But I would say Baker, friend of the show, just a good friend, just a great guy and a fucking ball player, man.
Game-winning drive against the Texans and
has the most passing touchdowns in the entire NFL since joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
He is absolutely rolling down there in Florida.
Couldn't be happier for him.
And shout out to Bake, man.
Dude, that two-minute drill, him escaping that all-out pressure.
I don't know how he got out of there.
Dude, I mean, I don't know how you missed that tackle.
I guess Baker was the one that made it happen.
Slid on him.
I mean, it's fourth down.
If that tackle happens, game's over.
But it didn't.
If that broken tackle doesn't happen, it's game over.
I just love when he went down.
It looked like he mused up his knee.
It's like, oh, no, is Baker all right?
And then he immediately got up to talk.
He was hitting an ankle.
It looked like he rolled it.
Whatever.
It was something looked off on it.
And it's like, oh, no, Baker's down.
And then immediately started talking shit
when presented an opportunity, forgot all about whatever was hurting him, and just snapped back into Baker mode.
So shout out to Bak.
Awesome week this week.
And he was balling down there.
12 fourth quarter comebacks in his career.
Yeah.
My guys, there's ice in the veins when it comes down to it.
Come on now.
All right.
Once again, Stamp of the Week is brought to you by American Express.
All right, before we keep going, it's time to shout out our partners, as you know, DraftKings.
That's right.
Week three is coming up.
We've got some solid matchups heading into this week's slated game.
So let's have some new heights team construct the pick six on DraftKings pick six with their favorite picks for the weekend.
That's a lot of picks.
That's a lot of picks.
Please come on.
Yeah.
Hey, we did so great the last time.
We did so good the first time they let us do this.
They want us to do that.
Well,
the first time we got...
The bets were avoided because
we were derailed by Spit.
So we're going to try to avoid avoid that this week.
But for those of you who are unfamiliar, all you need to do to create a pick set is choose two or more players and select whether they'll have more or less than a certain stat and play for, wait for it, huge cash prizes.
Oh, nice.
Jake, picks.
Let's go.
All right.
As the resident AFC East fan on the show,
we got the Bills Dolphins game.
Yep.
We got the Bills Dolphins game in Buffalo.
Nope.
Nope.
But But we do have the Bills Dolphins game.
And I'm a fan of James Cook.
I think he's looking good.
I think
the based on my assumptions of this game, I think the Bills are going to have to kill some clock.
So I'm taking James Cook more than 54 and a half rushing yards.
I like that.
I like that pick.
Are you a big James Cook guy or are you a big going against the Dolphins defense guy?
The latter.
Definitely the latter.
When you have a players-only meeting week one, that's nothing but a good sign for the team's defense, as we've discussed in this show.
Yeah.
That would be a fun stat to come up with.
What are teams' performances after a player-only meeting?
How can we use this to our advantage on draft case?
Welcome to the New Heights players-only pick set.
Players-only pick set.
Now let's select players from the same or different teams to add to this pick set.
Do we like Josh Allen?
We love Josh Allen.
He played through that broken nose last week.
We're all in.
So Josh Allen.
Has it been confirmed that it was broken?
It was bloody.
I'm going to give it to him.
Bloody and swollen.
I'm going to give him a little, at least moderate break.
So we're going to go more or less than 234.5 passing yards for Josh Allen.
The Dolphins have given up a lot of passing yards.
So I feel like I'm going to take more on this one, too.
Got it.
Got it.
That's well.
Okay, so we're expecting a huge day from the Bills.
We're expecting a huge Thursday for the Bills.
Last one.
Let's focus on the Dolphins for this one.
one.
Tyreek Hill.
What is going to happen with this one?
68.5 receiving yards.
Dick, why don't you take this one?
I'll take this one.
So, like we said,
we think the Bills are going to be leading pretty much.
So, Dolphins are probably going to have to throw the ball a lot.
Tyreek, he just had a week where he caught his, you know, got back in triple digits.
He caught a 30-yard pass for the first time in a while.
I'm going Tyreek more 68.5 receiving yards.
All right.
Nice.
Okay, Turtle.
That all makes sense.
I like it.
Turtle.
All righty.
Love it.
We are only sharing
transition line here, Brandon.

Let's move on to a little heights hotline.
Brought to you by Audible.
We're bringing the Heights Hotline back.
Next caller.
I think I'm actually about to get pulled over over right now.
I'm actually driving.
Anyway, I want y'all's opinion.
If you guys watched the OU
versus Michigan game, if we saw that power hit,
do we like John Matir?
What are just our opinions on it?
Oh, my God.
Yeah, no, I'm done for it.
I just got pulled over.
Holy shit.
I love how excited she was to call in.
She's getting pulled over.
I didn't see the game.
I very rarely have enough time to watch college.
I'm watching way too much NFL.
Jason, when was the last time you got pulled over?
Last time I got pulled over?
Been a long time.
Been a long time.
Been a long time.
You remember the first time you ever got pulled over?
I do not.
I remember getting pulled over in Cleveland Heights.
Yeah, anybody that's ever driven over
in Cleveland Heights.
They used to hide on the other side of that brick wall.
They still do it?
Oh, yeah.
So we don't have anything from this game?
I mean, I watched the OU game.
I think the quarterback that that she mentioned,
he's got the 1-0 on.
He's got the 10 jersey on, like my guy Blakey Bell, the Bell Dozer.
That's all I got for you.
I think he's a fun guy to watch.
So, if you get a chance to watch the Oklahoma Centers, yeah, check them out.
They're pretty fun to watch.
All righty.
Hi, gentlemen.
I love your podcast.
I am
over 60.
huge Chiefs fan, but have also enjoyed Eagles at times when Jason was playing, not
when we were losing on a Sunday.
But my no-dumb question is: what exactly is turf toe and how can it sideline people for as long as it seems to?
Burroughs is scheduled to be out up to three months, I read, and Bach Purdy is out, and so
for maybe the same thing.
So please enlighten me on what turf toe is and why something so silly sounding can be turf toe.
It does sound silly.
Let me tell you.
It might have a silly name.
That shit is.
Ain't nothing silly about it.
Let me show you what turf toe is.
All right.
Oh, no.
All right.
What is he doing?
This is your big toe.
There's a ligament that connects that big toe down.
around to the bottom of the foot.
It's just you just showing this is fucking making me sweat.
Well, either way, that ligament gets sprained or it can tear.
Is it a tendon, technically?
I don't know what it's either a tendon or a ligament or whatever it is.
But that can get sprained.
It can tear.
There's different degrees of it.
Whenever you hear grade three, that bitch is clean off.
Great delivery.
So he can't do that.
He can't push his toe down.
And if you think about it, whenever you are trying to run, do anything remotely athletic, you push off of your foot and your toe is a big part of that.
In particular, the big guy.
This is a big point.
They're called your intrinsic muscles.
You don't realize this, but your feet, your toes are grabbing the ground as you run.
Keep going.
What happens is when it's sprained, you put like a steel plate in the bottom of your shoe to try and limit how much flexion this thing gets, right?
That's one way to deal with it.
Yeah.
Other ways they tape it down yep yep yep that's another way to do it another way is tape it down so they try and limit how much it goes back to try and prevent the pain from happening which is immense if it's a severe one i mean it's a pretty awful injury to have for anybody that's had it in grade three is like you have to get surgery you have to reattach it and then you're out for three months uh until it gets better it's not a fun injury it's one of the anything with your feet the bottom of the feet man it's a painful one because it's everything
anything in your foot yeah yeah that shit sucks man and uh like you said it depending on how severe the injury is whether the take the ligament or the tendon i'm not even sure which one it is either uh gets strained from one to three in terms of the grade uh
that's that's when you got to figure out do i need surgery is this something i can just kind of manage throughout the rest of the year is it going to get better is it going to heal on its own um there's things like that so that's why you see different timelines for recovery on this kind of injury.
And I'm pretty sure, I mean, it sounds like turf toe, the name is, it came from like the astro turf days when the surfaces were extremely hard and you didn't have the ability to kind of like your foot is being absorbed by the ground like a natural grass or that makes sense.
Bottom line, it sucks.
It should be a way more aggressive name.
Like if you hear like an ACL tear, you're like, man, that's an aggressive sounding injury.
You hear turf toe, it's like, oh, he could play through that, right?
Yeah.
Let me tell you, it is.
It's a painful one.
And you can rupture it.
There's even ways you shouldn't play through it if it is hurt enough.
Hey, Jason.
Hey, Travis.
Hey,
I'm in the corner.
What was a trick that you learned, Jason,
to
help potty train?
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
My kid just takes his diaper off or his pull-up off and just goes wherever he wants.
all over the house.
So, all right, that's my question.
Bye.
I never had that.
We haven't had that issue of taking it off and then going throughout the house.
I'll tell you what, with each successive kid, it becomes easier because then the kid before is like learning how the other one does it.
And I feel like with Wyatt, she was the first one that you actually had to like proactively get her to go on the potty.
And the way we potty trained her is you can see him just starting to shit.
Like, it ain't like hard to spot.
Like, when she goes off in the corner and you you just see her face starting to go like
are you do you need to poop her that why
and then you you're like hey let's go up on the potty once they get to a certain age you're like hey let's go up on the potty and she's like
i swear to god this is how you do it travis you'll find out you see them and then they also start getting old enough that they get a little bit like
uh like self-conscious about it.
So they'll just kind of like wander off for a second and then they'll be gone and you'll be like, I know what she's going to do, and she's trying to go get some privacy to go shit in a corner.
And you're like, hey, let's go up on the potty.
And then you just put the potty seat down, take the diaper off, put her on, and then eventually she likes shitting on the potty.
The peeing is a little bit, you know, they got to grow into that.
They got to get tired of the uncomfortableness of the diaper.
And then eventually they start peeing on the potty.
And that's the way we did it.
A couple of them would take their diapers off,
but we would usually put them back on before they started peeing all over the house.
So, yeah, that's our strategy for potty training.
nice ed kelcey would just say tie it in a knot but i guess you don't have a you know you don't have that's not an option for us that's not an option and to be honest i couldn't tie mine into a knot it's not an option for me either all right what else we got
all right that does it for heights hotline brought to you by audible and uh shout out to audible for sponsoring the new heights tailgate in kansas city i heard it was a huge success the 92 percenters showed up and hung out with us uh before the game and uh here are some highlights jason's earrings were uh were a big-time uh commodity here let's see those uh oh nice buffalo jason oh pretty good those are pretty good on an eagles fan look at that dravis tweet shirt that's pretty fucking funny

Ooh, Jason,
