The Fate of the Chiefs, Jason gets Cancelled! and The Life of a Showgirl Review | Ep 158

This episode is brought to you by PNC Bank.

Ever wondered where superstar siblings come from?

The truth isn't flashy, just a family rooted in work ethic, commitment, and a game plan to build a life that's bigger than what two bros from Ohio could ever imagine.

So, it stands to reason that if you're looking to live an unboring life, you should start by keeping your money boring and partnering with a bank who will help you make calculated decisions for your future.

PNC Bank.

Brilliantly boring since 1865.

Brilliantly boring since 1865 is a service mark of the PNC Financial Services Group Inc., PNC Bank, National Association, member FDIC.

Peloton is changing the game in fitness with the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus, powered by Peloton IQ.

And let me tell you, this thing is like having your own elite training camp at home.

Oh, okay, Jason.

How have you liked working out with your Peloton?

It's right there.

It's always where I need it.

Sitting in the corner, sitting back there.

I got the bike.

Do it on the tread.

I'm a big tread guy.

I like the tread.

And then you can watch shows.

You can watch instructors.

It's just a great product.

And something else that's really cool, the screen swivels now.

So you can easily go from running to strength training or stretching.

There's so many classes that Peloton has that you can click on.

And moving the screen around just makes it so you don't have to move that heavy old bike or tread.

It's like having a whole training facility right there, one place, one equipment.

It is nice.

And having the trainer access is good.

Oh, and Peloton IQ actually counts your reps and corrects your form with intelligent strength coaching, which we definitely need when working out at home.

And get this, it tracks your progress and can even suggest weights to help you level up your strength game.

The rep counter is nice.

I also heard that Peloton IQ creates personalized workout plans based on your goals.

In each class, you're coached by instructors who bring that energy you need.

And that's what Peloton is all about: matching your energy and elevating your game to help you get to the next level.

Whether you're just starting out or you're, I don't know, like a vet like Jason is.

Let yourself run, lift, flex, push, go, more.

Thank you to our partner, Boarshead.

Ooh, a little meat.

The end of the season is in full swing, and you know what that means.

Time to eat meat.

Millions of fans are turning their homes into game day headquarters every weekend.

Gosh, and whether you're hosting a watch party at home or tailgating before a big game, you got to feed the crowd.

You got to feed the crowd.

That's where Boar's head comes in the clutch.

Yes.

Their platters are literally a game changer.

We're talking...

Premium meats, cheeses, dips, and more.

What's your go-to deli platter, Jason?

I mean, any of them.

I don't know.

Dude, anything that combines crackers, meat, cheese, and mustard, it doesn't matter what kind it is.

You got Pepper Jack, you got Provolone, you got cheddar, you got beer cheese, you got salami, you got kielbasa.

There you go.

Don't be all archy with me.

Ritz crackers.

Maybe you could do some of those like whole grain thick boys that are around.

Those are kind of nice too.

If you want to be kind of different, you go with like a wheat thin.

If you really want to elevate your game day spread and score big with your entire home gating, that's tailgating at home,

visit your local Boarshead deli.

They'll hook you up with a ready-made platter.

Ooh.

Or you can build on your own.

There you go.

Either way, you're upgrading your game day with some serious flavor.

Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

How about it?

It's just a great name, too.

Over 100.

Yeah, you know what you're getting.

Boarshead.

First listen through, what was your favorite?

Yeah.

Opalite.

Yeah, I mean.

Opalite.

It just, it like makes my body like do this.

Like I kind of like bob to it.

Like this is just kind of the vibe of that song.

It's funny.

It's tremendous.

It's tremendous.

What after listening to the album a few more times?

Is there a song that maybe the first time you listened to it?

That's a great question.

And then now you're like, yeah.

I feel like Wish List has grown up.

That's the one for me.

That's the one for me.

And really, I credit that with Kylie.

She that was her favorite, like right from the get-go, pretty much.

Yeah, she's smarter than all of us.

Well, here's the question.

Not gonna lie, it's really good.

Damn, she got it.

I don't want to get it.

I know we're about to get it.

We'll do a whole show about it.

We're going to not talk football at all.

Yeah, nobody wants to hear about Eagles and Chiefs losing.

Nobody wants to hear about this.

Nobody's here for that.

Let's talk, Taylor.

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, boys boys and girls to New Heights, a wondry show produced by New Heights.

How about it, huh?

Brought to you by Peloton.

We are your host.

I'm Travis Kelsey.

This is my big brother, Jason Kelsey, out of Cleveland Heights, Ohio.

Shout out to those Cincinnati Bearcats, baby.

Yes, sir.

Bigging down the 15th-ranked Iowa state cyclones.

Cyclones.

Yeah, no.

That was a hell of a game by the boys over there in Nippert Stadium, man.

Way to defend the fucking crib.

Jason, tell the people what we got coming up today.

92% has got another amazing episode.

We're going to recap right now.

Cheese and Jags going down to the wire on Monday night, the rest of the week five in the NFL.

We're also going to talk about what everybody has been waiting for.

Our official reviews of the life of a showgirl.

Nice.

Well, I don't know why people give a fuck what we think about it.

Yeah, I don't know why they would think.

It's not like we're musical experts.

We're a bunch of fucking idiots.

So let's get into it right now with some new news.

I love it.

First time the new news, though, we have incredible guest episode.

That's right.

Coming to you next Monday.

We sat down with Dwayne, The Rock Johnson.

That's right.

Talked to him about his new movie, The Smashing Machine, WWE's Attitude Era, his football career at the U, and how he became one of the most famous people on the planet.

That's right.

Again, the episode will be be dropping Monday, October 13th.

Stay tuned at the end of this episode for a sneak peek of that conversation.

And like we said last week, we've been rolling out our previously recorded Wondery Plus bonus episodes to our main feeds.

That's right.

If you didn't pay for it, you're in luck.

It's about to get to you right now.

You might see some of our old film clubs, Heights Hotlines about relationships, and the episode where we called Ed Kelsey for parenting advice, which I assure you, you're going to want to hear that and adhere to none of it.

So if you're wondering why our haircuts, our outfits look different, it's because those are previously recorded for Wondery Plus subscribers only.

Now we are pushing all this content to be available.

We're men of the people.

We're men of the people.

Wondery and us

have colluded together to bring you some of the exclusives.

I don't really know how this works.

All I know is that it's going to be dropping.

It's going to look like I have gray in my beard even more so than I do now.

Don't be thrown off.

All right.

And

maybe the most demanded piece of new news all time.

The most

demanded piece of news.

I mean, dude, there are so many people tweeting, asking my opinion.

Let's just give it up for Taylor.

Let's just give it up for Taylor.

I think that's the appropriate piece.

She's done it again.

She's done it again.

No question.

She's put the world on tilt.

It's been so fun to see everybody's reactions.

And we've had an absolute blast watching her go through all of her press tour or radios and all these talk shows.

And she still has a few more coming out this week that'll air after

this recording right here.

But

she's looked amazing, sounded amazing, and this album is absolutely amazing.

And if you haven't heard it yet, please go check out The Life of the Showgirl.

No doubt, no doubt.

It was incredible.

It was fun listening to an album start to finish and really diving in.

You haven't done it in a while, huh?

I don't know.

The last time I've anticipated anybody releasing an album, and I looked at all the lyrics and I will listen to every song.

I just

I'm I'm more old school music there aren't a lot of current artists that I'm like waiting for the album to come out I'm gonna be honest with you I just I got a I got a handful I got a handful of artists that I really really look forward to okay

but I will say

I had already heard every album

you already knew but I've been I still how many of them did you already heard have heard all 12 before it came out all 12

and I presume that you were listening to them while while Taylor was in the room with you?

Yeah.

Does that feel weird when like an artist is in the same room with you and you're listening to the lyrics?

It's a different feel for sure, but I got used to it real quick.

Yeah.

Okay.

What was the first song you listen to?

I just listened to it wholeheartedly.

And because it's her creation.

Well, you just want to appreciate it for what it is, you know?

And I think that's the biggest thing is to make sure that the person that you're in the room with knows that, you know, you're being open to what they're creating.

But yeah, it was fun to hear all of these come together, knowing that a few of them,

as she's mentioned, have been about our life together.

And

it's just been fun to see everybody kind of depict them and

all the videos online and people dancing and

smiling and having a blast with this.

No doubt.

Have you, so did you listen to any of the songs before they were like fully put together?

You know what I mean?

Like, is there any of them where you're like

you hear like a more stripped-down version before the final product is like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%.

Okay.

That's got to be cool.

That's one of the things when we come to Christmas album.

I really appreciate the whole like

Smarten and production, like all that.

The mastering of the sounds and like hearing like the first version versus like the final version.

Like I'm listening to

these songs still in my car to working back and forth from home every single day.

Like, man,

they fucking crushed it.

You know, because it didn't sound as like,

I don't know if profound's the word, but like, yeah,

a lot of the sounds didn't come through as much

from the first times I heard them.

But either way, I mean, they, 10 out of 10, they all fucking killed it.

No, there's a reason those guys are highly regarded in the industry for sure.

All right.

Well, where do we start with this thing?

I don't know how to do an album review.

I've never done one.

I don't think I'm qualified to do one.

I don't think we should do one.

I think we should just do one.

Okay, that's fair enough.

All right.

I'll ask you this, Jason.

The question that everyone wants to know is,

what's Jason's favorite songs on the album?

Favorite songs.

Well, as I texted you

the day it came out, I would say the top two songs that I liked right away were Opalite and Eldest Daughter.

Yeah.

And Opalite, I mean, it's just like, I'm a sucker for any like type of like,

trying to think of like the right way to describe it, but like this, like, you're down in the dumb shit.

Everything is kind of, you know,

not going right.

You're uneasy in the world.

Onyx, skies, turn into opalite.

Fucking, we're back in it, baby.

And, like, I'm all about it.

The vibe of the chorus is very Christmassy to me, which makes it feel even more joyous.

Yeah.

I just like love the, the chorus is just such a catchy, like freaking groove.

It's just a fun pop, man.

Love that song.

Love that song so much.

Eldest daughter, I'm a sucker for a ballad, and I just think the expression in that song and the sentiment behind it is beautiful.

Yeah.

Taylor, obviously being an amazing writer,

knocked out of the park with that one.

I really love that song.

Then my other top three on the first time listening through were probably Fade of Ophelia, Life of a Showgirl, and Actually Romantic.

I like Actually Romantic a lot.

It's kind of almost like a.

That's become like my,

I wouldn't say new favorite, but like, yeah, that's the one I catch myself going to whenever I look at the, look at the list.

I loved it.

I really did.

It's got that like that alternative rock, like it feels 90s to me a little bit.

Like if, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, I love that shit.

And then

to me, when I was listening to it the first time, and I don't know if this was the intention by Taylor.

She makes talking shit sound so sweet.

I thought that was a lot of fun.

Wish list now is probably one.

I put that up there with my top tracks on the album.

And Kylie listened to that first, and she was the one who kind of like told me to go back and listen to that one.

And I listened to it while reading the lyrics because sometimes I need to do that.

But I think the sentiment behind that song is fantastic.

And I think,

yeah, it's, it's, it's very well done.

It's, it's clever.

It.

It talks about like what life really is about and like what relationships are really about.

And I think it's just very well done.

But I like all the songs.

I like honey.

As you know, Kylie hates being called pet names.

That song is fantastic to me

because it flips like because pet names can be very condescending, right?

By nature.

Like people can for sure take it that way.

But when it's said by somebody,

the word buddy.

Like, some guys just hate the bus.

Don't call me buddy.

I'm not, I'm not your buddy guy.

I'm not your guy pal.

But the

honey's fantastic.

and I think she hits the nail on the head of like why in a relationship it feels different when somebody calls you honey, when somebody that loves you, and uh, I think it's it's that's well done.

Wood, great,

great

soundtrack.

How do you feel about wood?

Let's ask this: How do you feel about wood?

It's a great song, it's a great song.

Do you feel

like

not

do you feel

trying to think of the word

do you feel

not confident

do you feel cocky do you feel cocky about the songwood no

any song that you know she references

me that's not just any song it's very like this is a very specific you

i love that girl so what do you mean any song that she would reference me in any well it's not just you though it's it's a It's an appendage, it's not just you as a

very specific thing.

I think you're not understanding the song, Jesus Christ, Travis.

Come on, no way.

Redwood tree ain't hard to see.

I thought redwood was a little bit, you know, that was

that's a generous word, I think.

I think if somebody wrote a song about me, it'd be like Japanese maple

sometimes can see

Japanese make

that song's great though.

The freaking

beat to that song is fantastic.

And that's right up my alley.

So well done, I think it's a great song.

What other ones really caught?

Canceled.

Canceled was one that initially, when I listened to it, I don't like a lot of like ominous sounds typically.

And that's kind of got like that kind of uh

that kind of tone to it right it's like a almost like a uh reputation freaking you know we're in like the serpent era type deal going on yeah but i think it's fucking awesome like pushing back on the concept of like cancel culture yeah the way the internet like

hyper hyper fucking like analyzes people that they don't even know and all this other shit and like how you really find out who your true friends are canceled feels to me very similar to a football team in a lot of regards, where like when you're winning, everybody's fucking everybody's friend.

It's the best thing in the world, but you really find out a lot and you find out more about teammates and people when the losing starts and when shit isn't going well.

And then people's true intentions and nature really comes out.

And I feel like there's a lot of carryover into that song and to what she's talking about specifically.

So I really love that song as well.

But yeah, I still think my top two are Opalite and Eldest Daughter.

I think Opalite might be one of the most, I mean, it's up there with my favorite to listen to songs, certainly, that I've ever heard recently.

So

it's a fun one right now in the car.

You just can't help but like

jam out to it.

Very good tune.

Very good tune.

What do Kylie and the girls like?

is a question.

I said Kylie, big fan of Wishlist.

She was the one who really turned, like, she was like, no, you need to listen to that one again.

That one's fucking really awesome.

Completely agree.

And that's Kylie's mentality, too.

She's not a materialistic person.

She's never been.

All she cares about, like, whenever I ask her what she wants for Christmas or her birthday or whatever, she gives me fucking nothing.

She's like, oh, no, I don't want anything.

I just want to spend time with you.

It's like, I know you want something and I don't know what to get you.

So just help me out.

Help me out.

Just got to start throwing.

You got to plan ahead, Jason.

You just got to start throwing stuff out there.

I know.

I have done it a couple of times.

Look at this hot massager.

I know.

Listen, I've gotten better where I like buy things the moment.

Like, I don't need a fucking foot massager.

Yeah.

She's not.

Just lean into it.

That's not her vibes.

There's definitely a lot for Jason to comment on, and I'm here for it.

Can't wait for the teasing to begin.

Teasing?

I kind of already got that out of the way.

What I tease about?

This maple tree?

The Japanese maple, baby.

I have more of an ornamental tree cock.

My cock is more of an ornamental bush.

Look at that beautiful tree.

Look at that tree.

Look at that cock.

I got one right outside.

Right inside.

There we go.

That's too funny.

They're highly sought after.

92%ers wanted to know our reactions on New Heights getting a shout-out.

Yeah, New Heights of Manheim.

That was pretty cool.

That's pretty cool.

Shout out Wood, right?

Yep.

Yep.

I would have paid good money to watch Jason listen to the album for the first time, specifically for Wood.

I don't know why everybody wants to see me responding to that song so much.

That is like because they know you're in on.

I'm a big, I'm a big, you know, obviously Nick Foles.

Nick Foles.

I mean, I'm in on the wood.

I am.

I'm

As a pun.

As a bagger.

I think inserting

wooden innuendos is always childish enough for me that I can get on board with that.

She couldn't work intern into a lyric?

Is that a.

I don't ask for a lot.

Yeah.

I thought maybe.

I thought maybe Rhyme probably a few things, but that's okay.

I'm sure.

It's probably close.

It's on the next show.

Taylor, it's on the next.

Yeah,

I'll throw that in there.

She's let her know.

I wonder what would a song with intern Brandon in it consist of?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Trying to think of

canceled.

I feel like it may be canceled.

This is Taylor's new song, Why the Fuck Does It Take So Long to Record a Podcast?

Exactly.

Who knows who it's about?

Could be about anybody.

Yeah, it's a song about wanting to hang out with your fiancé, but she's too busy podcasting because this intern Brandon won't fucking keep the thing on track.

Oh, I love Taylor's new song.

Can you fucking fucking wrap it up?

But overall, really enjoyed the album.

Love the album because

she just does such an incredible job of talking about her life in

ways and with lyrics that I think are relatable and people connect with.

And I sure as hell did.

I mean, even eldest daughter, I know it's about being an

oldest sibling of the female gender, but even as like an older sibling of as a brother and like the way she attacks that song, speaking about probably that and multiple other things.

I just think it's very related.

And I think,

I mean, I'm an eldest.

Yeah, you are.

You can relate because you have why it is your oldest.

Well, that too.

I'm more thinking of like you're the oldest sibling, so like you're kind of entering everything for the first time.

I really enjoyed it.

Hell yeah, brother.

Well, you're not the only one.

It was the, it was the most streamed album after the first day.

Fate of Ophelia

was the number one stream song and the most streamed single, I believe, that after the first day of all time, maybe.

I mean, it's true.

I don't even need to look it up.

Yeah.

Well, we weren't the only ones that enjoyed it.

Mama Kelse and Uncle Don, Aunt Joan, they all went to the official release party of Life of a Showgirl at the AMC Theaters.

The theaters dropped, I believe, a little over an hour special on all the songs and Taylor's first music video from the album, which is The Fate of Ophelia.

And

yeah, absolute banger.

If you haven't seen it, go check it out.

I believe it's out on YouTube now.

But over the weekend,

they had a bunch of release parties at the AMC Theaters.

And

mom, Uncle Don, and Aunt Joan all went.

That's awesome.

And then stopped by the hotel to tell me happy birthday afterwards.

I was about to say, it was great seeing them down in Jacksonville.

Have you talked to dad about the album?

No.

I haven't talked to him about the album either.

No.

Maybe that's who we should get a live listen to.

I'm terrible.

Have Papa Kelsey listen to Wood live and hear what his reaction is.

Oh, my God.

I would love.

I'm going to do it regardless.

Even if we don't put it on camera, I'm just going to do it.

Big Ed.

Fans are also going back through our episode with Taylor and finding all the Easter eggs.

Jason, did you know you were an Easter egg?

I did not know I was an Easter egg.

I was informed of no Easter egging as I was doing the episode.

I guess one of the things I teed up, I said that was a lie as the intro of our episode.

And it was also obviously a big part of.

the song Eldest Daughter.

Yeah.

So yeah, I was set.

You set you up, man.

Yep, yep.

You set you up perfectly.

What else was I setting?

Okay, so there's other Easter eggs.

What are the other Easter eggs?

I think the fun of the Easter eggs is to always keep it just a little, like,

was that intentional?

You know what I mean?

I think that's there was one that was definitely intentional.

That's somebody, somebody tagged me on Twitter

when Taylor was like, you don't always keep it 100, Jason.

And I was like, I mean, I try.

I don't, I'm trying to.

And clearly now.

Yeah, I'm the the light

and the sky.

I had egg all over my face.

I had E-strain all over my face.

We egged you.

That's funny as hell.

Do you have any final thoughts?

I mean, fuck mine.

Like, you're a main

creative.

I'm just the lucky man that gets to be, you know, the support system for Taylor.

while she drops one of the coolest albums that I've ever listened to.

So uh that the world scene oh no i'm excited for i'm happy for everything uh seems to have gone perfectly all this planning and you see it from start to finish like she started this thing in the middle of her tour or her tour in europe and it's like yeah

to see it all unfold and come together and her connect the dots from the planning to how

the strategic planning to how the album was all gonna look and then to you know, listen to the music and everything come together, and her finally getting that 12th song and being like, I think it's done, you know.

And then from that point on, it's like her and her label are just working their ass off to make this one of the biggest releases of all time.

And I'm just happy as hell for it because it's, she's happy with it, you know, she's uh, she's proud of this, and um, obviously, uh, I'm proud of her for

going through the hoops to, you know, live out her dreams.

Well, congratulations, Tay well done life of a showgirl

for those of you living under a rock who haven't streamed it yet

get on it you fucking idiot

all right that wraps up new news

Peloton is changing the game and fitness with the new Peloton Cross Training Tread Plus powered by Peloton IQ and let me tell you this thing is like having your own elite training camp at home.

Oh, okay, Jason.

How have you liked working out with your Peloton?

It's right there.

It's always where I need it.

Sitting in a corner, sitting back there.

I got the bike.

Do it on the tread.

I'm a big tread guy.

I like the tread.

And then you can watch shows.

You can watch instructors.

It's just a great product.

And something else that's really cool, the screen swivels now.

So you can easily go from running to strength training or stretching.

There's so many classes that Peloton has that you can click on.

And moving the screen around just makes it so you don't have to move that heavy old bike or tread.

It's like having a whole training facility right there, one place, one equipment.

It is nice and having the trainer access is good.

Oh, and Peloton IQ actually counts your reps and corrects your form with intelligent strength coaching, which we definitely need when working out at home.

And get this, it tracks your progress and can even suggest weights to help you level up your strength gain.

The rep counter is nice.

I also heard that Peloton IQ creates personalized workout plans based on your goals.

In each class, you're coached by instructors who bring that energy you need.

And that's what Peloton is all about: matching your energy and elevating your game to help you get to the next level.

Thank you to our partner, WhatsApp.

Trying to keep up with the group chat is killing me these days.

Tell me about it.

Don't even get me started, brother.

I've got so many unread text messages just for my birthday alone, but the group chats could get, once they get going, it's hard to catch up.

For sure.

You get it.

Yeah, I feel like it's impossible to keep up with text these days, make plans, do all that stuff.

It's very difficult.

Yeah, well, I've got some news that's going to change the game.

You know WhatsApp?

They've got this sick events feature of group chats.

It's a game changer for planning.

If you're a planning kind of guy.

well, you know, I am not a planning kind of guy, but I am a game-changing kind of guy.

With WhatsApp events, you can send detailed event invites right in the group chat.

That's right, it's got the date, time, venue, everything all in one spot.

Everyone can RSVP directly and stay in the know.

Details change so no one misses out.

I mean, this is a great thing for me because I will not look up any of this information.

To have it all laid out for me would be very efficient.

Very efficient for you.

And then you can tell them, no, I'm not going.

Oh, this is very nice.

Or no.

I'm going.

Thanks for making this easy on me.

Out of the house, let's go.

That's clutch.

No more scrolling through a million messages to find out when and where the meeting is or where we're going.

Exactly.

And get this: it doesn't matter what kind of phone everyone's using.

Everyone in the group chat gets the invite.

That's right.

It doesn't matter.

They can lose their phone.

As long as they have the app, they can get the invite.

Do I sense a Kelsey family reunion in the works?

Reunion?

We really don't have a big family.

No, it's just.

It might be nice to meet some of the Kelsey relatives that we don't know.

I see it in our future for sure.

It's time for WhatsApp.

Download WhatsApp now.

Once we get some kids that all look the same on the block.

There you go.

Let's get to the no fun portion of this week's episode.

No fun.

No fun zone.

Bold topics to wrap up week five in the NFL.

Brought to you by Gillette.

That's right.

And we're going to start it off with Chiefs 28 Jags 31 on Monday Night Football.

Yeah, you want to get into your initial thoughts from the game?

I mean, it was kind of a wild freaking ride.

Yeah, we can't, I mean, we go up 14 points, man.

We can't let that

get back into it.

It just is what it is.

14-point lead.

On top of that, 14 fucking penalties.

Yeah, it was a sloppy game.

It was really sloppy by both sides, but uncharacteristically sloppy by the Chiefs, who are usually one of the most buttoned-up operations.

I'll say this.

I was impressed by the way the Jaguars played.

I know they're a good team.

I thought that they weathered a lot of stuff early.

You got to give them credit.

You got to give Trevor Lawrence credit from fumbling that first quarterback sneak to give you guys the opportunity to go up 14 points and then bouncing right back and putting together a drive where he scrambled and fought every step of the way.

I think the Jaguars are a really good team this year.

I really do.

I think their defense played well for the most part.

Your guys' offense is back on track.

It was a fun game to watch, and I know it didn't turn out good for you guys.

I know Spaggs is going to get the defense straight offensively.

I feel like you guys are still, you know, it feels like the offense is clicking right now and rolling.

Outside of the one interception in the red zone, it felt like you guys are moving the ball pretty consistently against a really good defense in the NFL this year.

Those are my initial takeaways from the game.

I don't, without diving into anything too specific.

I mean, there's a stat out there.

I guess we outgame the Jags by 157 yards, and it's like

it's frustrating to see that.

You have that turnover battle, you know and time of possession and it's just it's so frustrating to lose a game after that well that's what i'm saying like i i really do think i i i like listen you guys you guys played very well in a lot of regards and you made too many mistakes that kept them in the game

and i i really do think trevor fought and there was a couple things that bounced away like the fact that he fell over

on his knees and gets up to get the go-ahead touchdown was fucking wild.

But I really, you know, listen, I think Trevor, that whole team was fighting every step of the the way.

They're rolling right now under Liam Cohen.

This is a different Jaguars roster and feel than they've had the way those guys have played before.

ETN has really been a hell of a player for him this year.

He's a beast.

He's a beast, man.

And the more they get that dude Travis Hunter involved, man, they just, I mean, fuck, just send him deep and throw it up.

Why are we overcomplicating this?

Hats off to the Jags.

They finished the game.

They finished the game when we didn't, man.

And they played a cleaner game towards the end of the game than we did.

And their special teams, their offense and defense, outperformed us, man.

And we're moving on.

We got the fucking Lions coming in.

I don't even know.

They're rolling right now.

I don't need to really talk anymore about the Jags loss.

Everybody saw firsthand all the

debauchery that fucking happened that game.

And we just got to be, you know, we got to be better, man.

Yeah, got to refocus and got a tough opponent coming in this week.

Lions are freaking,

dude, they're rolling right now.

They had a tough first week, but ever since then, they have been clicking on all cylinders offensively.

So it'll be a tough task again, as it always is when you go to a Super Bowl as many times as you do and you get the schedule that you get.

But yeah, Lions are rolling right now.

This will be a fun one to watch.

I got to give Taequan Thornton, though, some love, man.

I really do.

I mean, this guy continues to show up.

Pat continues to give him opportunities.

You can tell that they are feeling more and more comfortable.

He's getting pressured in his face, and he just decides to throw up a prayer to Taekwondo covered one-on-one and ends up coming down with it.

Was a big player for the offense.

I really like the way he's playing right now.

I know you guys get Rashid back after this next one.

It feels like offensively, this thing is back to the brand of Chiefs football that we like to see, and that bodes well for the future because obviously, defensively, they're going to get that thing back on track.

The Spags and Chris Jones and all those guys.

Anyways, Trav, you did set a record.

You're now the franchise's all-time leader in all-purpose yards.

Obviously, I know that's hard to celebrate after the way the game went, but that's a pretty incredible milestone.

You should be proud of that.

Topping Dante Hall, 12,356.

Running back Jamal Charles and tight end Tony Gonzalez.

All rank

third and fourth, or they rank third and fourth on the list.

And you got in the end zone.

There we go, baby.

A little big Yeti touchdown.

A lot of people talking about the contact or whatever.

They don't know the rule within a yard.

Yada, yada, yada.

Listen, when you come up and press, you know you're freaking making yourself at risk of that happening.

So to me, it was within the parameters of certainly being questionable.

It's definitely not an egregious penalty.

No.

So I don't know what the big deal is, but of course, well, the big deal is that you're the Chiefs and everybody likes to hate.

So canceled.

Hey, yo.

Nice.

Just want to give a big shout out to my guy, Kareem Hunt, man.

I fucking love that guy.

Pops getting that thing going.

People may not think that the run game is what it is or it's not as consistent as it needs to be, man.

But those guys are showing up when we need them, especially the past two weeks, man.

It's getting better.

That's what my thing was.

We're getting big pops, big runs,

big gainers, and that alone, those big gainers alone will make teams respect it.

And

I'm not against getting those guys the ball even more.

Yeah.

Letting the big guys up front eat a little bit more, man.

It feels like, you know, Kingsley and Josh, obviously, being two new guys right into each other for the first couple weeks.

It felt like the line was still finding their way through all that stuff.

Now it feels like they're clicking and rolling in protection and in the run game.

And some of that probably has been freed up with the addition of Worthy and what he offers.

Pat has been scrambling all over the place, so it keeps the backside honest on some of this stuff.

All that can definitely help open up the run game even more.

So last couple of weeks, it's been coming.

So hopefully we can continue to do that this week against the Lions.

Looking forward to watching this one, man.

I always love watching Dan Campbell, man.

Motherfucker is, he is just such a freaking awesome coach and person.

And

it's a fun team to watch play.

So Chiefs-Lions is going to be an exciting matchup.

Moving on to the rest of week five.

Get out of this

Chiefs Jags nonsense.

Let's get on to some other football in the world of the NFL.

Some other big stories from around the league, starting with Eagles 17, Broncos 21.

Another fun game to talk about.

Broncos scored 18 unanswered in the fourth, and it was a crazy game in the fourth.

It was.

I'll say that.

There were a few penalties.

There were a few, you know,

questions.

Missed opportunities.

There's some calls and things that, like, the Eagles had a big play down the field to Devontae Smith.

Gets called back because two guys are in motion at once.

Missed on the A.J.

Brown connection.

You know, they had a chance to hit.

Dotson down the field, and they're not on the same page.

Obviously, everybody's talking about the end of the game play with Dallas Goddard towards the end zone, which I get.

Is it passing a fear is in my opinion?

Yes, but with the game on the line, that's a hard call to see and make in real time.

I usually side on officials.

They made it against us.

Yeah, that's right.

They sure threw it against us now.

I'm usually more in favor of officials staying out of the way in end-of-game situations like that, but

obviously because it happened to the Eagles, wish they would have called it, but can't be that guy, which I kind of am.

Anyways,

you got to give the Broncos credit.

Like, listen,

the Eagles up 17-3.

There's no way they should have let the Broncos back in.

The Broncos kept fighting.

They bowed up defensively.

Sean Payton's a hell of a coach.

Yeah, he is.

And they came back and won the game.

And, you know, I think

they're a great team this year.

That's the one thing that I think is kind of being lost sight of in this.

Their defense is very good.

Vance Joseph is a great coordinator.

They have great players on offense.

Their offensive line is one of the best in the league, in my opinion.

This is a very good football team this year, so

should the Eagles have won the game, especially with the way it started in the first half?

Absolutely.

You're going into the fourth quarter of 17-3.

Yeah, you should win the game.

It shouldn't happen.

It was crazy how many double-digit leads were lost this past week of football between you guys, between us.

Carolina crawled back,

being down big.

Who else?

There's another double-digit lead that was blown.

Oh, my gosh.

Was it Tennessee?

Tennessee.

Yeah, that's exactly.

That's exactly who it was.

So it's just like, dude, it was a wild week of football and like first and second half woes and successes for teams.

But anyways,

second week in a row, the Birds have struggled in the second half.

Yeah.

Obviously, we struggled, almost lost the game to Tampa Bay late.

And this time we ended up losing to the Broncos.

And the Eagles right now got to get that fixed.

I mean, the first half offense and what they're coming out prepared for in the game is working for them, which is great to see.

And it felt like the Tampa Bay game, they came out and really tried to run the ball and do the clock management ground and pound let the clock start ticking down as you had the lead and tampa bay almost crawled back and win one

and then this past week through all of the banter about the passing game and aj brown combined with the way the run game went last week in the second half i mean they only ran the ball like twice in the second half So they went the opposite way where they just tried to throw it every single time.

And

I just, it's hard you know the coaches are obviously trying to adjust and you see that and i appreciate them trying to figure this out and make it better for everybody and win football games but i just you know don't overcomplicate it in general keep being balanced right like keep trying to keep the defense off guard i know it's easier said than done and in the coaches defense a lot of those passing plays were there Like, I really think that they made some adjustments in the passing game.

Everybody's really criticized Kevin Petulo for not being creative with aj's routes and all this stuff it felt like they made a concerted effort to do some different things and aj was open on a few of those devante had a big day they had chances down the field to make big plays and they just didn't execute on them they had a j on like a 15 yard out coming out of a break and it was just like a tick and that's what it is in the passing game like sometimes like the timing and everything like

i anticipate that To me, it was better in that game, even though the result was worse.

It felt like they grew a little bit in that regard.

Now, we got to get the run game figured out.

We have not run the ball well all year, and when you're up points, you should be able to run the football, especially when you have Jalen Hurts in the backfield.

I was going to say, what do you think the biggest thing?

Because last year was a 2,000-yard rusher.

Do you think everybody's just keyed in on

stopping the run right now?

No, I mean, listen, people were keyed in on stopping the run last year.

Now, I think that, as you know, when you go to a Super Bowl, all offseason, people have been like,

this is what the Eagles do well.

How can we stop these plays?

How can we stop Saquon Barkley?

So you're seeing teams now have a full offseason of scheming formations and plays that the Eagles had success with Saquon Barkley last year.

So you're going to get different schematic things and very curated things that people have been developing all offseason in order to stop the best running back in the league last year.

That's part of it.

Another part of it is the offense line's been banged up.

Landon Dickerson, I mean, he was obviously, I mean, the dude's a fucking warrior.

He's been playing and and getting out there.

First couple of weeks, he's still obviously recovering from something, from the knee injury.

I thought last week you looked great, and then all of a sudden he goes down with an ankle injury because the running game was really doing pretty good last week, especially at the start.

I think also

they really,

the first couple of weeks, they were really isolating, especially first and second down on these

12 personnel runs.

condensed formations where it's like you're really it's a it's a run kill do a run where you're like there's no threat of the quarterback.

And it's when Jalen is a threat and he's keeping this stuff on the backside and it prevents the end or the backside backer from crashing down on it because he might keep it out and dish it.

And this past week, they got a lot more to the,

like, I don't even know if it's a

read or if it's a predetermined keep with Dallas Goddard slipping the end on the backside and you have like your high lowing the corner and the flat.

Like

they were doing that a lot, and it was very successful.

And then that controls the end and the backside backer for when you do hand this off, right?

So I think that getting more to

how can we control the backside?

Because nine times out of 10, those are a lot of the guys that make the play on a lot of the other runs.

So if you start controlling that, you start making the defense respect the full width of the field, right?

They can't cage down on this box, whether it's to stop the run or to take away whatever you're trying to do.

I think that that'll free up the running game even more.

So it's a combination of a lot of that stuff.

And they also, you know, they haven't executed well blocking some of that stuff in the 12 and 13 personnel.

It just hasn't been executed at a high level.

When you look at that roster on the offensive side, they have so much fucking talent, man.

18 points or 17 points.

Even against the Broncos, which are one of the best defenses in the NFL.

Yeah.

There's too many options.

Too much you got to think about, man.

I'm sure

they'll get that thing rolling.

To me, I know the second half didn't go well.

there were plays to be had it wasn't like nobody was open which is what they've been criticized for a lot and the run game looked better they were averaging more yards per carry especially before landon went down it felt like they were generating some push and getting some open lanes there was a big play that uh jalen ended up throwing on but they had a

saquan on this toss play that if that would have got uh

actually ran would have been a huge chunk play, I think.

It was wide open.

But anyways, who do they got coming up?

They're going to New York.

Thursday night, MetLife.

Short week on the worst turf in the NFL.

Well, it's better than it used to be.

You know, they got a rebound.

Giants, listen, I know their schedule or their record doesn't indicate

that they're a great football team, but these guys are playing pretty good.

Jackson Dart has re-energized them.

Get some energy, man.

Cam

or what's Scatterbro?

Scatterbow, whatever fuck.

These guys, there's a lot of youthful enthusiasm around.

Fuck that.

That boy's a dog now.

I love it.

Dude, listen, listen, Andy Reid used to say this all the time when I was a young player.

He's like, youthful enthusiasm.

The young guy's got to bring energy.

That's your job.

You should be excited to be in this league.

And right now,

and right now, the Giants have that in spades, man.

This guy, Jackson Dart, Scatterbow, out of, no, if I'm saying that fucking right, they're fucking playing with a lot of juice.

This dude fucking pancaked a motherfucker as a lead blocker.

Did you see that clip?

DN.

Yes.

What a fucking drunken sailor does that.

Dog.

Check this out.

Boom.

Dog.

Oh, my God.

I love that shit.

Get under his skin.

Try and get a free 15.

Fucking all on all on board.

It's a different team than they've been all year, and you can see the energy throughout

on their side, even though they did lose to the Saints.

You can't take them lightly.

Defensively, they got a great D-line.

And right now, offensive line, we're banged up.

Tackle positions are great.

Landon, I don't know if he's going to be in or out.

So

it'll be a fun one, man.

A little NFC East rivalry.

Always love to see that.

Get to watch my guys on Thursday night do their thing.

So it'll be fun.

A little Thursday night football.

We're playing a little Sunday night football, man.

God,

some more prime-time action, baby, coming at you guys.

Let's get to the rest of the league.

No more unbeatens.

That's right.

We just talked about the Eagles lost to the Broncos, but the Bills got upset by the Patriots.

This is the first season without a 5-0 football team since 2014 and crazy it seems like everything's kind of wide open baby that's why sitting at two and three right now feels fucking shitty but it's still anybody's ballgame it's a marathon baby it's not it's not a sprint it's a marathon it's always been how you finish the shootest thing we've only played one divisional game so far yeah we played the chargers that's it we were talking about this on monday night and this was my kind of like Highlight.

I just think it's crazy that there's not really a team.

And you guys are probably facing the one that's looked the best since the first week.

Like, Detroit has looked really good outside of the first week of the season when they struggled.

But ever since then, they've been rolling.

But you can make a case for like 12 or 13 teams right now to be in the Super Bowl race.

And normally by this point in the season, there's like two or three in the AFC and two or three in the NFC.

And those are the teams that everybody knows are going to be the competitive ones towards the end of the year.

So it's been a little crazy with how much parody the NFL has going on this year.

I love it, man.

It's first couple of weeks, everybody's like, hey, Green Bay's it.

Green Bay's got it going.

They're going to be the team.

Now everybody's on the Lions.

Then it's like everybody's on the Eagles.

Then everybody's on the Chiefs.

Hey, Chiefs are back.

Then everybody's been on the Bills.

And all of a sudden, they drop one, speaking of Sunday night football, to the Patriots.

Like,

it's been a wild first five weeks of the season.

And

yeah,

it was a wild Sunday night football with the Bills obviously losing to the Patriots.

Shout out to Mike Vrabel.

He's getting them boys right over there in New England.

So how ball player?

No doubt.

No doubt.

They were playing with some passion and some freaking Mike Vrabel-esque energy, especially freaking Drake May.

Talk about competitor, all the off-schedule stuff, making things happen down the field.

Stephon Diggs playing his former team going off.

How do the Bills, like if there's one player I'm not letting ruin the game, it's Stephon Diggs coming back into his old home?

I'm double teaming him.

Like, what are we doing?

I think it's, I think it's

harder than I'm making it seem.

Yeah, I think it's a little harder than what it seems.

You can't just double him every single time.

Especially with all the plays they were making outside of the pocket.

You know, he made it.

Drake May had a bunch of off-schedule, freaking adjustments.

Yeah.

That one where he's stiff-arming the dude and fucking gets it, like, that was fucking.

That's crazy.

And then Stefan gets it and goes 15 yards.

That was a great game to watch, even though the first half was fucking some of the worst football I've seen in a long time.

Down to the only winless team.

That's right.

The Saints and Titans got their first wins of the week, which means Jets jake and his oh no the jets are 0-5 are the only 0-1-5 team they almost snuck out the first week against the steelers that's what i'm thinking of yeah they they had the they also almost snuck out um

oh my god who was it against when they blocked the field goal and took it back they ended up losing though uh it was tampa it was tampa tampa thank you yeah no problem i appreciate this figured you'd chime in jake Thanks, Jake.

So, yeah, but outside of that, it's been...

This tough sled.

Zero takeaways through five games, and their defense is

kind of their staple.

Yeah, I mean, you know, they like to play a lot of man.

It's hard to get takeaways and man coverage and interceptions and whatnot.

That's more of a zone thing, but they do their thing.

They do their thing.

Chet's playing in London next week.

Rule change pitch from the New Heights production team.

If a winless team plays overseas and loses, they have to stay there until they get a win.

International games being loser stays is not the worst proposal.

It's kind of funny.

Yeah, I was about to say, yeah.

If they can find a way to make that work from a scheduling standpoint, that'd be hilarious.

But, anyways,

Titans and Cards gave us a no-dumb question.

Tell us about what game film meetings look like after a player does something so incredibly idiotic, like dropping the football before the end zone.

I mean, I've never been, I've fortunately never been a part of that.

I've been a part of some dumb fucking football.

I'll say this.

Typically, when something so just like is like flabbergasting, it's not even hyped up to the level that i think you would expect does that make sense like if this happened and i feel like i was the coach or like some of the coaches i've had it'd be like guys like what are we doing what the fuck are we doing yeah what are we doing finish through the letters and logos like and because the really the reality is this dude's been crushed enough like he knows right away he fucked up Yeah, so typically the coach is more, he's like, we don't need to harp on it from like a

crushing standpoint no we're not both

it's more like a

guys we know we can't do this you re-emphasize the rule because like for like for the eagles the rule that nick always used was finish through the letters and logos like whatever you do after you get through the letters and logos with the ball is on you but do not drop that ball until you get to the letters and logos so tough man so usually the coach just re-emphasizes that specific rule in whatever like there's like a bonehead playbait it's like okay guys listen we know we can't do this.

It's been harped on enough, yada, yada, yada.

And you move on.

That's typically the way it happens when it's like some, a type of mistake like that.

By the way, I was talking with SVP before Monday Night Football.

I kind of like the rule.

We should convert the, as a rule, we should say, you got to finish like a rugby.

You got to touch it down.

Touch it down.

Touch it down in the end zone and then do whatever the fuck you want.

But you got to have control and put it in the end zone before you can do anything else.

What do you think?

No.

Not on board?

Because what happens?

Let's just not drop the ball before the end zone.

Yeah, what happens if you get a toe tap?

We don't need to overdo this.

I like a little toe tap in the back of the end zone for the game.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I hear you.

I hear you.

But then you get up right away and you put it down in the end zone.

Maybe it's just your thing.

Like every single time you do it, bam.

Yeah, that was a pretty egregious one.

That was a, I mean,

one of the most wild losses I've ever seen in my life.

Shout out to Cam Ward.

And

not even that.

Like,

the ball that's like bouncing all over the place and ends up getting completed.

That is what football, like in my mind, that's what I see.

I see the fucking awkward shaped ball just getting kicked around like a fucking,

I don't even know, man.

It's like, it's like somebody just greased that thing up and just say, go and jump on it.

And whoever jumps on it, somebody jumps on it, whoop, it just flops out the other side.

Like another guy kicks it.

Another guy kicks it.

And the team that threw the pick finds a way to get it in the end zone.

Dude,

I fell on

so insane.

Hit pass, boom,

into the other team's hand.

Great catch, hits the ground, fumble,

kick, slap, kick.

You couldn't even like script this.

I feel like it would be unrealistic to script this in a movie.

If you tried to do this in a movie, it would have to be like CGI.

It would have to be, it'd have to be like some like AI, like kick, kick, hit, kick.

It's fucking crazy.

Jumps on it.

It's on his neck.

Insane.

One of the crazy endings.

Craziest endings.

It wasn't a crazy ending like that, but it was kind of like

what the fuck.

At the end of the play was my first year playing, not my rookie year, but my first year actually getting on the field.

2014, we didn't have a wide receiver score a touchdown.

And we had a play going into the last game.

We were out of the playoffs, and my guy, Chase Daniels, and we ran just like this little like Tampa concept to get Dwayne Bow the ball around the five-yard line.

Opened up wide open.

Dwayne doesn't even know he's that open and just kind of catches it and starts to like backpedal, thinking he's just going to fall into the end zone.

Gets hit by like three people.

Ball pops out on like the one

right into my hands.

I'm sitting in the end zone.

I'm just looking at Dwayne like, bro, this is silly.

For the whole year, we went 16 games without a wide receiver getting in the end zone.

And then the last game, we get all the way down to the one and it pops out just to get into a fucking different position's hands.

Yeah.

There's a question on here.

When teams do dumb shit, does it get brought up on film for other teams?

Actually, this is one of my favorite films that we do each week or did with Nick Siriani.

Every Saturday morning, I think it was, we would do like the

things not to do tape.

I don't know if that's what it was called, but that's what I felt like it was.

And it was just stuff around the league that guys messed up, whether it was situational ball, bad ball security, like things that you're constantly preaching preaching on where like it didn't go in the favor of a player or a team.

And it was like just very much reassuring, like these are the things that will lose you games.

And this fumble for sure is on that tape from this past week, right?

It just is.

There's a handful of them every single week.

Yeah.

No, I mean, Coach

Nagy made the

comment the morning of our game yesterday.

Yeah.

Don't be that guy.

Don't be that guy.

You don't want to be known for that.

Yeah.

You don't want to be known for that.

And on top of that, you don't want the team to look at you like that, you know?

Yeah, you don't want to be that guy.

We don't need to keep harping on it.

I mean, that kid's been crushed enough.

No.

Sean Jackson did the same thing.

I mean, it's been done.

It's been done a surprising amount of times.

It's actually crazy every year, at least once or twice.

Like, insane.

I don't know what motivates.

I don't know.

I never had the opportunity to drop the ball for the goalwide.

So I guess I have no fucking idea.

I've never been fast enough to just be running into the end zone scot-free.

I've never been on that side of the defense.

I've always had the defenders in front of me for some reason.

So true.

Oh, God.

I've had maybe a handful where it's been like that.

All right, that does it for week five Bold Topics brought to you by Gillette.

All righty, let's get to Out of the House.

Out of the house is brought to you by WhatsApp.

How about it?

Great app to use when you're out of the house.

Jason, you're the only one.

How about that?

The Out of the House segment started with me never being in the house

and you always being in the house to now me always being in the house.

First of all, you're not in the house.

I still always get out of the house.

And I'm out of the house because it's my job.

I have to travel every single week.

It's not like I'm super thrilled, although it is, it has been fun.

I'm not going to lie.

I do like getting out of the house.

Did go over to Ireland recently, and that was not part of my job.

That was solely to play golf and have fun.

So I guess I'm lying a little bit.

Anyways, this week I was out of the house in Jacksonville.

Jason, you dropped a video on Instagram about your trip to Peter May's house of Kilbasa in Kansas City.

When did you come to Kansas City and do that?

This was earlier.

This is a, we've, we filmed this with out an idea of when we were going to release it or what we were going to do with the content.

But we,

one of the things that we're trying to do is highlight cool establishments and

cities and areas that we go that are like one-of-ones, mom-and-pop shops that have been open for a long time or are like

landmarks of specific communities that people like just love.

And we kind of heard through the grapevine that Peter May's Hasa Cabasa was a one-of-one,

like interesting spot.

It looks cool.

It's in a neighborhood that used to be very industrial

within the city of Kansas City.

I don't even think you would have been to this place.

I mean, I've been over there.

I've been over there.

I know what's going on over there.

I know what's going on everywhere in Kansas City, man.

Yeah.

Either way,

in a lot of establishments.

Not the sausage factory, though.

Well, this was legitimately a sausage factory.

Yeah,

it was awesome.

I think,

you know, for For me, I love going to spots like this.

I love going to unique areas.

It's pretty cool because there's so many unique spots like that, just in Kansas City, from what I'm thinking of, and let alone nationwide.

It's probably some of the most unique things about the cities is that the people from there all know about it, but it's not on like a national stage.

It's kind of like diners, drive-ins, and dives, obviously.

Guy Fieri, very successful with a very similar type of mind.

Do you want to take his job?

No, definitely not.

White hair.

White hair.

No, he's got some good hair.

I'll give Guy that.

And he's got good taste.

But I feel like

to me, it's not even as much about the food.

Like, I still love highlighting the food because obviously that's the main reason people are going.

A lot of the reasons I like places like this, it's more about who's working behind the counter, the waitress that's.

Who's keeping this thing above float?

Who got this thing through COVID?

Who's people that are there?

Who's keeping people coming through those swinging doors, man?

Well, it's the it's usually the community that supports it.

And like it's that the patrons that end up coming, like you're shooting the shit with people that are there.

And I don't know, man.

It's just, it feels awesome.

It feels like there's a a spirit to establishments like this.

It feels like there's a

soul to them.

Like, I just very much vibe with the overall ethos of a lot of these establishments.

And Peter May's house at Cabasa is a tremendous ink.

City, if you get a chance, highly recommend it.

Cobassa is fantastic.

Mike,

Mama, who's been working there, Mama May, for 76 years, at least that's what I'm calling her.

You know, it was just, it was a very special place.

This happened when I was out in cincinnati or about out when i was in kansas city we were going to the cincinnati bearcass game so i hit up peter mays then

met an awesome woman named karen

who uh was from belton had driven all the way up there just to get some kielbasa

and she was not disappointed so yeah i think we're still trying to figure out what these are if we're just like releasing them on social media we've already filmed some other ones in chicago just went to jacksonville this week did i play i went to jacksonville check this out i'm checking it out.

So, after the recording with you, we were you, Andy, and Pat, which, by the way, brother, man.

Thank you so much for sitting down and doing that.

I apologize.

We needed to watch the games because I got to comment on all this stuff on Monday night.

So we just look up a sports bar, and there's a sports bar close by.

We pull up to the sports bar.

It's a fucking ice rink.

Like, I pull up, I'm like, brother, this is the community igloo on the building.

The sports bar is in the ice rink.

There's two ice rinks on either side, right?

In the middle is a full-on big-ass TVs sports bar restaurant.

And the whole time, there's Jacksonville

in Jacksonville.

And there's beer leagues happening, and guys are coming in.

They're playing.

So we're just watching football.

There's hockey games happening around us with beer leagues.

Dude, you get on the ice.

This place is fucking incredible.

I got on the ice.

One of the guys came up.

What?

I'm just watching.

I'm probably like eight beers deep too at this point.

I've been watching football for the last freaking four hours.

Dude, no way.

The guy comes up and says, hey, do you want to play?

I'm like, actually, I kind of do, but I don't have any equipment.

I go to the freaking local shop, buy gloves, pants,

shin guards.

I was just playing against sports and just it was just the

in-house, like little

shop in the restaurant.

Yeah.

Nice.

So I got everything, got some rental skates.

Big mistake.

The left skate was really dull.

I could not skate very well on it.

But, you know, I didn't want to.

I'd rather play in rental skates than to break in a brand new payer on the spot.

Because at least the rental skates have been broken into somewhat.

But it was not good.

It was very dull.

But it had a blast, man.

It was fun playing with those guys.

Very nice of them.

I think it was, I'm trying to remember the name of the team.

They're sponsored by an Indian.

Oh, dude, I got to get this.

Hold on.

This is a fucking good bit.

I was sponsored.

They were sponsored by an Indian food restaurant, and they gave me the player of the game, even though they lost.

They usually only do it when they win.

And they lost, one one of the big reasons is because I couldn't skate backwards and gave up a really bad goal.

God damn it, Jason.

I tried.

I was like fumbling around.

I was falling on the ice.

It was pretty shitty.

Again,

it was the skates.

It was the skates.

It was always my left foot.

My left foot just skates.

Everyone knows you've got to bring your skates everywhere.

Yeah, all the time.

When you don't know that you're going to an ice ring, you're going to ice race.

Dude, it was fucking

fucking awesome.

It was cool as shit.

Yeah, let me get this.

This is what I won as player of the game.

Player of the game that couldn't escape fucking backwards.

This is like getting a fucking certificate for participation.

Oh, maybe if we give Jason

the player of the game, he'll talk about us on his podcast.

That's what happened, Jason.

You weren't the player of the game.

I would never tell him that to his face.

Yeah, baby!

Little turbine action.

Which I'll probably get canceled for this, but whatever.

Also, with the TPC song,

it's so fucking perfect.

These guys are great.

I can't wait to get back out on the ice.

I'm joining the beer league this year.

I'm fucking doing it.

Do it, kid.

There's got to be a fucking bunch of good ones in Philly, dude.

It's tough.

There's got to be a bunch of good ones.

Don't get into one where we're going to catch a headline of Jason knocking somebody out on the fucking ice, though.

Just get into a nice, playful one.

Don't get into a fucking serious one.

I also was fortunate to go to TPC Sawgrass right before the interview we did with you.

And I know I told you this, but Bird Eat Hole 17, which they give you this bag tag when you go play there.

Dude, the bad tags are my favorite, man.

And if you get whatever score you get on that hole, you get to have it engraved.

Nice.

Oh, yeah, baby.

Nice.

Can't see it.

Can't even see it.

Can't even see it.

It's beautiful, though.

It looks like a dope bag tag.

I was so happy.

I had an eight on the hole before that.

So happy I'm not doing that.

Four-putted.

I don't even want to talk about it.

Four-putted?

Travis, I don't even want to talk about it.

It was an abysmal day putting for us.

I can't wait to see you dressed up as the Blue Man crew.

The fact that you think you can go three days in the fucking

I have never been more positive.

I am striking the ball very well right now.

Just letting you know.

It's taking you four strokes just to get to the green, and then you're four buddy we'll be all right baby it was a five it was a part five it was part five and you're good thing for you i went in the water i hit a great four iron max double busy for you that eight it sounds horrendous i hit a drive i tried to clear the water with a fly iron hit it fucking so damn good

just

wasn't quite long enough yeah i mean it was it wasn't the right club i i would have had to hit three i was trying to carry it 220, and I just didn't get it.

I do.

And I should have hit it because I caught it clean.

I was hitting my irons really well.

You strike your irons.

You are fucking steep with that fucking club, so you're good with your irons.

Well, not the longer irons.

I got to go a little bit more shallow in the longer irons.

I can't go that steep.

Otherwise, I come out to, I don't know, whatever.

I've been doing better with the golf gun, though, and I am going to be positive this year.

I can't wait.

It's going to be fucking electric.

I might even compete for that fucking thing.

I'm telling you, Gee, I'm fucking,

I've never been more positive.

I'm turning this thing around.

You got to get get Brandon back on the bag, man.

There's no chance.

At this point, if I want to be positive, I'm going to need a real caddy.

I cannot have Brandon.

Who?

Who?

Who?

I did a great job.

The caddy I had last year, Joe was a trainer for like

you did worse.

That was not Joe's fault.

It was not Joe's fault.

But you need Joe?

But the

fourth Brandon's fault.

First of all, first of all, I did not do worse.

I had the exact same score and I finished better.

So you're wrong.

I did it.

Because there was more people.

So either way, I had the same score.

No matter which way you strike it, I did not do worse.

So it's not on me.

I lost one glove, Jason.

It's not on me.

You threw it in a place I wasn't looking.

I also didn't have a Greens book this year.

I had to actually put the ball.

Who got you that Greensbook?

Who got you that Greensbook?

Who carried it around?

And you said, what a hole, Rion.

I said, I don't know.

Who did that for you?

That was me.

Brandon, I want you to be there.

You're just not the caddy.

I don't know why you need to be the caddy.

Just come and be a fucking Vibes guy.

Vibes guy.

Vibes guy.

That's what you better have.

I have the best caddy there, Brandon.

I'd bring you.

Dude, I can't hold a candle to that man.

Nobody is, nobody's taking bacon.

Every time I see bacon, I get stuck.

I will.

Bacon is my cumin opalite.

Bacon is my cumin opalite.

I see bacon and I start desming the bacon.

We've been recording a lot of this stuff out of the house because we know that it's fun and it highlights these communities.

We're still trying to figure out what's we've thought about: is it out of the house and we put it up on YouTube within New Heights?

Do we put it out on social?

Obviously, we did the Peter Mays one out on social.

But either way, look forward to bringing a lot of this content that we're filming while we're out and about to you guys.

I think you'll appreciate it.

Some really awesome people that deserve to have

their establishments highlighted or hilarious individuals to see.

So, yeah, excited to bring all that stuff to you guys.

Hell yeah.

Well, once again, out of house brought to you by WhatsApp, yeah, baby.

Talk to everyone worldwide, all under one app.

Thank you to our partner, DraftKings Pick Six.

We're knee-deep in the season at this point, and we've got some great matchups heading into week six, Slayta Games.

So

let's have the new Heights team construct a pick set on DraftKings Pick Six with our favorite picks for the weekend.

What do you think, Brandon?

That's, I don't know why the tone of that wasn't appreciated.

That's fine.

I'll leave that in the edit.

For those 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 cash prizes.

Jake, you are locked in.

Smart of the end.

All right.

Gotta back one of our friends of the show, Baker Mayfield.

He's been an electric MVP candidate this season.

I'm going with Baker Mayfield more than one and a half touchdown passes

playing.

Who did I say?

Oh, he's playing.

He's playing the Niners.

So Niners riding high off of beating a divisional opponent.

I think they get blown out by the Bucs.

I'm going with Baker.

And then blown out.

And on the blowout prediction, that is not on the app, but Jacob Jatsky, boys.

Listen.

Or at least, you know, yeah,

I'll stand by it.

I got Baker more than four touchdowns.

Baker more than everything.

Yeah.

You can let him talk to you like that, Niners fans?

Yeah, right.

He's our guy.

We love Baker.

I will support him to the end of the earth.

Second pick,

I'm going Puka Nakua and the Rams.

They're playing against the Ravens who have been banged up on the defense.

Say no more.

Puka Nakua for everything, but I'm specifically for our pick set going more receptions.

I think Stafford is just going to feed him the ball with him getting open all game.

All right, I'm going to throw two picks in there.

I'm going to stick with Jake on this one.

I'm going to go Stafford more yards against the Ravens.

I feel like

picking on the Ravens.

I mean, we're not picking on the bats.

You're sensing the theme here.

We're just going where the yards have been, and I've seen the yards against the Ravens.

I think Stafford put up, what, almost 400 last week.

So I feel good about our guy.

All right.

I'm also going to go Dak Prescott, more yards against the Panthers.

I feel like Dak has been underratedly hot.

He's falling out.

He is throwing that rock around even without CeeDee Lamb.

I think George Pickens is his guy.

So I'm going to go Dak Prescott, more yards against against the Panthers.

Four solid picks.

Well done, boys.

All right.

Remember, you can build your full pick set in the pick six section of the DraftKings app.

We got a bunch of nominees, but I got to go with one that's near and dear to my heart.

Tay Tay,

congratulations.

You get my stamp of the week.

You're giving Taylor the stamp?

That's right, honey.

You get it.

Oh, my gosh.

She's.

Yeah, she's having a world record

release of The Life of a Showgirl.

Couldn't be more proud of her.

Most vinyl copies sold in one week in the U.S.

The Fate of Ophelia was the most streamed song in a single day in Spotify history just on Friday.

So Stamp of the Week goes to Tay Tay.

So proud of you, girl.

Let's go.

We almost used...

Jabroni as a nickname for fans of this show.

Do you own the word Jabroni?

I do not own the word Jabroni.

I think it's just out there.

I own the name The Rock, not Jabroni.

Oh, no, but wait.

I might own that because I own everything

associated with The Rock.

Like, it doesn't matter if you smell so.

I might.

I know that, let me give him props.

The Iron Sheik was, he made that word.

He made it?

He made that word famous.

So

he used to, especially in the locker room, oh, this Jabroni is that this Jabroni is that.

So he would call people Jabroni.

So that's where I got it from.

I always got to give them flowers, but it's really cool.

It's actually in the Webster's dictionary.

And I get the credit for it, but it's really the iron sheet.

It's really the iron sheet.

Yeah.

A lot of people are asking me because I said it on after we won one of the AFC championships.

I got on the mic and called the Cincinnati Mayor Jabroni for calling us out.

Oh, I know you did.

I know you did.

I was like, yeah.

Let's go.

I've been waiting my whole life to get this mic.

You Jabroni.

I had a lot of crazy.

A lot of the, like, by like mom's friends or dad's friends or just like people in the building were actually like, what's a jabroni exactly?

I was like, if you don't know, you're probably a jabroni.

You don't want to be called a jabroni.

Oh, my gosh.

That's the best.

What is the greatest rock insult of all time?

The greatest rock insult of all time is, okay,

what's your opinion?

Who's going to win the Super Bowl this year?

Who's going to win the Super Bowl this year?

It's got to be the Kansas City Chiefs, right?

All right.

Got to be the Kansas City Chiefs.

Well, the Rock, no, I'm speaking as a Rock.

Well, the Rock says, you take your opinion, that it's got to be the Kansas City Chiefs.

You take your opinion, you roll it up, and that's right.

You know what's coming.

You roll up that something, you turn it sideways and stick it straight up your candy ass.

That was a crazy insult.

I remember

those guys at WWE at that time, they were like, your candy ass.

They were like, Where did this come from?

And I remember saying, Well, you know, telling somebody to stick something up their asses, you know, that's an insult.

But when you turn it sideways,

when you turn your opinion sideways, it's a whole different thing.

So good.

God dang, that's good.

Fuck, that's gold.
