Speaker 1 Thank you to our partner, Boarshead. Ooh, a little meat.
Speaker 1 The end of the season is in full swing, and you know what that means. Time to eat meat.
Speaker 1 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 gotta feed the crowd.
Speaker 1 You gotta feed the crowd. That's where Boar's Head comes in the clutch.
Speaker 2 Yes.
Speaker 1
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.
Speaker 1
Dude, anything that combines crackers, meat, cheese, and mustard, it doesn't matter what kind it is. You got Pepper Jack.
You got Provolone.
Speaker 1
You got cheddar. You got beer cheese.
You got salami. You got kilbasa.
There you go. Don't be all archy with me.
Ritz crackers.
Speaker 1
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.
Speaker 1 If you really want to elevate your game day spread and score big with your entire home gating, that's tailgating at home.
Speaker 1
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.
Speaker 1
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.
Boar's Head.
Speaker 1 Wait, so Reese's color is orange, and the Oreo cookie was invented in 1912.
Speaker 1 This one's been in the vault waiting for its moment.
Speaker 1 Reese's Oreo. The biggest drop since, well,
Speaker 1 what are you doing? After love, after love, after love, after love, after love, after love.
Speaker 1 How hard you try.
Speaker 1 This is the fucking song of Super Bowl 59, baby.
Speaker 1
Welcome back to New Heights, ladies and gentlemen. A wondery show produced by Wave Sports and Entertainment and brought to you by Buffalo Wild Wings.
How about it, Jason? Yeah.
Speaker 1 Let's go, Sports Barb.
Speaker 1
Man, I love Buffalo Wild Wings. I gotta fuck.
I'm gonna get some wings tonight. Love it.
We're your host. I'm Travis Kelsey.
This is my big brother Jason Kelsey out of of Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
Speaker 1 Cincinnati Bearcat alums. Yeah, baby.
Speaker 1 Just happened to be the representation of the Eagles and the Chiefs, the Super Bowl contenders.
Speaker 1 So we meet again, motherfucker. Well, I'm not playing.
Speaker 1
Subscribe on YouTube, Wondry Plus, or wherever you get your podcast. And follow the show on all social media at New Heights Show with 1s.
Jason, tell the people what we got coming up this episode.
Speaker 1
We've got an incredible episode coming up. Not sure if you guys heard, but New Heights is going back to the Super Bowl three years in a row now.
Well, three years in a row for Travis.
Speaker 1
Yeah. We have never been more back.
We're going to recap all of Championship Sunday. Figure out who I'm rooting for.
If we can't tell who you're rooting for, Jason. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 Unbelievable. This is just what I'm wearing around the house.
Speaker 1
I just have a lot of Eagles gear. Well, that's fine.
It makes sense. How dope is this? You live in Philadelphia.
This thing is sweet.
Speaker 1
I like it. I like how I knew.
That's why I wore it because I knew you like the sweater.
Speaker 1
It's nice. It's nice.
I'm always thinking about Trav. If you wear shit like that, I can't get mad.
All righty. But first, as always, new news.
New news coming in hot. Yeah.
Speaker 1 New news is brought to you by Mentos Go. Dude, Mentos.
Speaker 1
We got a little delay here. When we're down in New Orleans, if Mentos is still spotting.
It's timed up. It timed up.
Speaker 1 Maybe it didn't time up on my end, but
Speaker 1 we got to figure out the harmony and really nail that down. If we can get down the Mentos theme song and we can just pull that out of our ass at any moment, that'd be so fucking epic.
Speaker 1
You're right. There is a delay.
All right. What do we got? All right.
iHeart nomination. Let's start with that.
Speaker 1
Travis is nominated for the iHeart Radio Favorite Surprise Guest Award for his Eras Tour cameo. What? What does this even mean? I'm up for an award? No way.
For your eras tour cameo as you
Speaker 1
and his walkout with Pat Mahomes and Chris Jones at the Morgan Wallain concert. Oh, nice.
I got two. There's an award for just showing up and having a fucking good time.
Speaker 1
Jason, don't be mad because you're not in it. All right.
Well, that's because I don't surprise.
Speaker 1
I didn't have any surprise guests. You gotta fuck.
You gotta surprise the people, Jason. Oh, I'll fucking surprise the people.
All right, this is a fan vote.
Speaker 1 So let's go ahead and congratulate Travis and Taylor up against Selena Gomez, Cher
Speaker 1 up against Selena Gomez, Cher, Chappelle Rhone, the Twisters, Cass, and Chappelle Rhone.
Speaker 1
I'm sorry to all those people I just named because you don't stand a fucking chance. All right.
Shout out to Selena and Chappelle Rohn. And shout out to Cher.
Man, I tell you what, I fucking
Speaker 1 the one song, man,
Speaker 1 will be forever one of my favorite songs. Which one? Do you believe in love? After love?
Speaker 1 It's so good.
Speaker 1 I remember watching that music video as a kid. I'm just
Speaker 1
stuck in the vortex. I really don't think you're strong enough.
No.
Speaker 1 Do you believe that?
Speaker 1
Do you believe in love? I can't go up that high. Yeah, I used to.
Not anymore. Do you believe in love after love? Nice.
Speaker 1 Dang, we're playing some bangers already. I like where this episode is.
Speaker 1 This is going.
Speaker 1
I want still in my fucking head. All right.
Well, thank you for the nomination, iHeart. I had a blast surprising everyone over there in London.
Speaker 1
And definitely, Arrowhead always gets rocking whenever you got Pat Mahomes, Chris Jones, and myself. And they're running around.
What are you doing?
Speaker 1 How hard you try.
Speaker 1 This is the fucking song of Super Bowl 59, baby.
Speaker 1 Eagles fucking cheese. Do you believe it? I'm fucking so into this right now.
Speaker 1 I'm loving the fact that you went full chance. God damn, this is good.
Speaker 1
I'm so happy you just brought this up. Dude, it's so good.
Go ahead. Take it over, Jason.
Oh.
Speaker 1 Do you believe the love of the love? Yeah.
Speaker 1 I can feel something inside myself.
Speaker 1 I really don't think it's strong enough.
Speaker 1 Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 i am playing that on repeat all week this is what the super bowl does to people just puts you in good just puts you in a good mood man anytime somebody asks me who i'm rooting for i'm gonna say i'm rooting for share
Speaker 1 oh man all right well Cher just won the
Speaker 1
IR radio nomination for that one. That was a surprise.
There's no chance we'll be able to play that in the actual episode, but it'll make a fun social clip.
Speaker 1 We got to reach out to Cher and ask her if we can do that.
Speaker 1
Oh, fuck. That was hilarious.
Thank you, Jason. A little more new news.
Let's keep this thing going. We got some new merch.
You guys saw me wearing the hoodie last week.
Speaker 1 This is another version of the hoodie right here. We got
Speaker 1 a bunch of new merch, man. It's good stuff right here, man.
Speaker 1
A new heights merch on. You got the Eric Eric Jones homebread.
Homebread merch. Homebrew merch.
Speaker 1
Some take-home homebread. Nice.
Yeah, this is our collab with the game, who you may know from

That's it for new news.
Speaker 1 It is brought to you by Mentos Gum.
Speaker 1
All right, let's move on to some bold topics to wrap up Championship Sunday. Yes, sir.
Let's do it, mate. Chiefs, 32, Bills, 29.
Man, it was a barn burner.
Speaker 1
And the Chiefs are headed back to the Super Bowl for their third straight year going for the three-peat. Travis.
Yes, sir. How are we feeling? I'm feeling great, man.
Life is amazing. Life is amazing.
Speaker 1 I mean, I just,
Speaker 1 it's a crazy feeling to...
Speaker 1
To be this fortunate in a game that, you know, you've been playing your entire life, man. And I've had a lot of heartbreak.
I've had a lot of times where it hasn't been this sweet.
Speaker 1 And right now, I'm just riding the high of
Speaker 1
living this dream out with my brothers and everybody in Kansas City, man. For sure.
Well, you guys, all the talk has been about the three-peat. But did you know you've already set the record?
Speaker 1
You can set it more by getting the three-peat accomplished, which is obviously the main goal for the Chinese. I don't give a fuck about a goddamn record.
I want a Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 1 I'm just saying, you guys are the first team ever to win back-to-back Super Bowls and then make it back in year three.
Speaker 1 So you've already accomplished something more than any other team has done in consecutive seasons. But if you cinch it, you'll be the first team ever, of course, to win three in a row.
Speaker 1 How are you guys dealing with the 3P talk internally? I mean, we're
Speaker 1
obviously talking about it non-stop? Yeah, every day. It's just, you know, I look at Pat every single day.
We're like.
Speaker 1 No,
Speaker 1 we don't talk about it at all.
Speaker 1 We're more focused on, you know. And he breaks down everything.
Speaker 1 He's like, guys, I was going to come up here and talk about turnovers and staying in the moment and really focusing in on details and making sure you let your personality show.
Speaker 1
But fuck, I'm just going to say what everybody else is thinking. We have a chance to win three in a row, guys.
We can do this. That's all we should be focused on is that record.
Speaker 1 It hasn't been mentioned one time outside of being asked about it in the media.
Speaker 1 Everybody in the building has just focused on doing their job.
Speaker 1
That's how we got here. That's how we got the first one.
That's how we got the second one. It's the only way you win football games and get to the Super Bowl is if you focus on the task at hand.
Speaker 1
For sure. And we got a huge task coming up.
And
Speaker 1
it's, man, it's going to be electric. It's going to be absolutely electric.
We know Philly's got the sour taste in their mouth from the last one. And
Speaker 1
they are a hell of a fucking football team, man. This will be the best team we play all year.
Well, we got a couple notes on the game itself. Rookie Xavier Worthy back to this Bills game.
Speaker 1
Had a huge game. I mean, his biggest game of his career.
Not a bad time to put that up in the AFC Championship. X, man.
He's just been slowly getting better, man.
Speaker 1 He's he's he bought into the process, to the challenge that
Speaker 1 Coach Reed has for him, that this offense has for him, to not just be that, you know, I feel like when he got drafted, everyone's like, man, it's going to be bombs over Baghdad.
Speaker 1 Pat's going to be throwing that thing 100 yards down the field, and Xavier's just going to be running underneath it. You know, he's got the straight line speed, but he's so much more than just
Speaker 1 like a straight line receiver. He can run routes.
Speaker 1
He gets the ball in his hands. He can split defenders.
He runs hard. I mean, he's the total package when you think of a wide receiver.
He can play outside. He can play inside.
Speaker 1
And you can do some of the gadget stuff with him that you can't do with everyone. That's what I saw a lot.
And it wasn't really gadget plays.
Speaker 1 I mean, they had a couple of gadget plays, but it felt like the big thing to me watching is like, you know, I think what teams are kind of trying to do to you guys, man it up, right?
Speaker 1 And if you want to play man against this guy with all these mesh concepts and crosshairs with how fast he is, that's just going to be a tough matchup for anybody to get down, especially when he's timing everything up as well as he did this past week.
Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. It's been fun watching him progress each step of the way.
Speaker 1
I mean, it's his first career, 100-plus-yard receiving game. I guess 100-yard scrimmage.
Yeah. Because some of those weren't.
80 or 85, which was the most he had in the game yet, which is crazy to me.
Speaker 1
And there are a lot of big third. He had that big third down catch.
I mean, it was a huge part of the game plan and helped the Chiefs keep multiple drives going.
Speaker 1
Fourth down Blitz, maybe the biggest play of the game. Fourth and five, under two minutes.
Spags dials up. The same thing it does always in crucial situations.
You know, you're going to get it.
Speaker 1 You don't know when. Is it going to come on fourth down? Is it going to come on third down? You don't know where it's going.
Speaker 1 He mixes it up enough, but I always felt like when I played Spaggs with the Giants or when I played him with the Eagles, if you get into a crucial situation, he is not going to be one of these coordinators who just sits back and plays soft coverage and lets you annihilate him.
Speaker 1 He is going to mix it up and you're going to get a cover zero or some very big pressure either a fire zone whatever he's going to find a way to get pressure on you and make you make a play and it was a beautifully designed and timed up blitz that thing was on josh so fast it was and credit to josh i mean he almost made this play it's actually crazy that this thing almost got completed if you think about it I got Dalton Kinkade is going to be a he's going to be a stud in this league for such a long time.
Speaker 1
I'm talking about Dalton and he's, I mean, mean, back-to-back weeks, man. My tight ends, man.
Those are my guys right there, man. That shit hurts.
Speaker 1 Dude, this is the same freaking package Spaggs used to do in New York. You put the free safety down, and you got to guess.
Speaker 1
Are they bringing free safety in the wheel or are they bringing it from the field? And it's so hard. He'll also drop and rush three.
He does so much stuff out of this.
Speaker 1 It is so hard to get a beat on it. I always think
Speaker 1 the hardest blitzes to pick up are those fucking corner blitzes, man.
Speaker 1 If you can show, because you're a cover two team, when you you can just show that, you know, I mean, you're playing a zone coverage, you can bring the corner, man, that throws everybody off, man.
Speaker 1 You just either got to know where your hots are, or you got to be a, you know, a savvy enough QB to find some time and give yourself a chance, like Josh did.
Speaker 1 And this is what you run the risk of when you run those cram alignments. Because I bet if that's an out-split receiver, it is going to be the safety down there.
Speaker 1 This is a good point that you bring up because that actually is the corner, and it's a lot harder to see when the corner adds on. You usually don't include him in it.
Speaker 1 But when you have those nasty alignments the corner and the safety a lot of times will switch responsibilities
Speaker 1 you take it that's why we uh that's why we love spags and that's why i love this defense man they play so well together uh they force guys to have to make plays and they instead of just kind of you know playing guys uh straight up and playing these zones that you know a lot of a lot of coaches just are they're i don't want to say they're stubborn in their ways but they have their their styles of how they play defense and um you either got to have the guys that that communicate well or you just got to have guys that play balls of the walls, man.
Speaker 1
And that's what our defense does, man. They just fly around and make the plays, man.
And I do got to say, I mean, Kincaid had a chance to catch this thing.
Speaker 1
It's not the easiest ball. That thing was curving away from him.
When that thing goes up like that, and
Speaker 1
you can tell by the way it was coming down, it's coming down funky. He's trying to track it and just couldn't come away with it.
But man.
Speaker 1
Almost a ridiculous. I mean, this would have been the play of the year if he pulled this off.
So shout out to Spags for mixing it up and
Speaker 1 causing that play to really happen on fourth down oh yeah and that was a difference i mean last time you guys played these guys josh made the play on fourth down with the quarterback run right now that that one ended up
Speaker 1 we were doing the top 10 plays of the year that was number one right there well i mean for the game to be able to do that that was a huge play yeah during the season that was a hell of a play by by josh right there man yeah well This time, Spaggs gets the better of him on, gets the better of the Bills on fourth down.
Speaker 1
Mahomes Spike. What the heck? I mean, he can throw the ball anywhere on the field, but he can't throw it directly into the ground.
Is that what we're talking about?
Speaker 1 I think when
Speaker 1
by Travis Slav. I called it out in the middle of the game.
Travis Slav with an awesome block on the perimeter. I didn't know if Pat handed it off or not because it was a read.
Speaker 1 So I wasn't sure if I was going to take the guy from the inside,
Speaker 1 trying the linebacker from the inside, or if I was just going to, if Pat was on my tail, if if he was trailing me enough, I knew the inside guy, uh, Milano, at this point, wasn't going to be able to make the play initially.
Speaker 1 Once I kind of felt everybody running towards me, I was like, oh shit, Pat's right behind me. This is why I got so proud of you because this block is so hard.
Speaker 1 So many guys, I talk about this with offensive linemen all the time. If you get too far out in the front of the runner, right?
Speaker 1 Like if you would have made that decision to go get Milano, he's not getting in. You play it smart.
Speaker 1 You stay in good phase with Pat until you know, okay, now he's, he, if he can't tackle me, he ain't going to be able to tackle Pat.
Speaker 1
So I'm going to keep on my course and climb, and you end up sneaking out the touchdown. Awesome play.
And then here's a spike. I don't.
I'll tell you what, man.
Speaker 1
We put that play in the game plan this week. I was like, that's going to fucking hit.
You knew it?
Speaker 1 What made you think that?
Speaker 1
We'd never ran that play before. We never gave Pat the full ability to just like keep it on the run.
Yeah. Like you get two guys pulling for the back, you get two guys pulling for Pat.
And it's like
Speaker 1
the line has to, I mean, the linebackers have to make a decision. That Dean has to make a decision on who he's taking.
And we ran it before.
Speaker 1 Kareem scores for the touchdown because everyone's running with me, Noah, and Pat. And this time
Speaker 1
they hesitate trying to read it out, and we're out the gate before they can even adjust to it. I got to go back.
I just love the way you hold on it, too. I really think that's just such an underrated.
Speaker 1
Like, pause it right there. You got to make that decision.
And once you see those guys break towards you, that's when you know. And that's like
Speaker 1
and at the angle they were running. I was like, all right, I know Milano isn't going to be able to get it.
I know in 24, if I can get him
Speaker 1
over by the goal line, I think we can find a way in. This is a great block by Noah Gray as well.
Yeah,
Speaker 1
everybody does a great job. Noah does a great job on the nickel.
And freaking, this is like teach tape that Howard Mudd, when I was a rookie, he would say,
Speaker 1 when those guys drop off into their zones, don't go and chase them.
Speaker 1 Stay in phase with the running back, and you'll know based on when they break when he has the ball, who has the ball, and where they're going. You know what I mean? And it's just textbook.
Speaker 1 Anyways, great play by the Chiefs, getting it done there.
Speaker 1 Pat even said it to Pat. I mean,
Speaker 1
Pat said it during the week, too. He's like, man, just that was hilarious.
You can tell he's just fired up. Sometimes when you get in the end zone, you're just fired up.
Speaker 1 You don't care what happens to the football, man.
Speaker 1
Put the team on his back. Second wrestling touchdown of the game.
You kidding me, man. And we're going for two.
Speaker 1 Fired me up. That's so good.
Speaker 1 i fucking love it man arrowhead was absolutely fucking rocking man god damn man the afc championship at arrowhead man something special about it dog it is it is so awesome every time playoff football there is is a beautiful thing man but those afc championship games man it's like a fucking holiday that that i'll remember for the rest of my life man Well, Mahomes apologized for his awful attempt at spiking the ball.
Speaker 1 He said, that's why I don't try to spike the ball.
Speaker 1
He now has the second most playoff wins in NFL history behind only Tom Brady. He does have a ways to go to catch Tom.
He's got an entire
Speaker 1 17 more, actually. Yeah, he's more than twice ahead of him still, which is crazy.
Speaker 1 It's always fun looking at these career statistics from Mahomes and realizing he's not even into the second half of his career, most likely, as long as everything stays on the right track.
Speaker 1
It's insane, man. We've also got a new Travis post-game saw.
Oh, yeah. Casey in the sunshine band baby was it not share
Speaker 1 no it wasn't it wasn't
Speaker 1 get down tonight
Speaker 1 uh they were playing that song right before we uh we went up on the podium so i knew that i knew that and i heard the crowd singing it so i was like all right i'm gonna keep it going I'm gonna get them fired up one more time.
Speaker 1
Can't go wrong with it. It's always been beastie boys, but I kind of like to change up.
You got to mix it up. When you're there that often, you got to mix it up.
All right. You got to mix it up.
Speaker 1 Regardless, do you guys enjoy being the villains of the NFL? I love it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 I love it.
Speaker 1
At one point in time, you know, it wasn't that. Yeah, you were the center.
You guys were the darling of the NFL. Yeah, I was the, do you feel bad for him, guys? And you're now the heel.
Speaker 1 I'm just, I'm enjoying, I'm enjoying doing this with the guys together, the guys that we have in there, because it's like it just makes us even more of a family.
Speaker 1 You just circle the wagons when shit, you know, people are saying whatever they want and you just band it together and it just makes you more appreciate more of what you have because people want what you have.
Speaker 1
This is how I feel like how dominant you guys are at football. I feel like this when I play beer ball.
I just know everybody wants me to lose, but I'm not going to lose. I refuse to lose a beer ball.
Speaker 1 And the whole crowd is like, God, this guy just keeps chugging beers way faster than everybody and winning because he can hit the ping pong ball so well onto the beer can
Speaker 1 and I feel the same way and I relish it whenever I'm on that beer ball table I know everybody wants me to lose and I'm just like I know damn well I'm about to whoop the fuck out of everybody here and make all these people ruin their day I'm just relishing that
Speaker 1 it's also the most unregulated game there has ever been and Jason knows how to bend the rules I've been the rules in regulated games So if you give me an unregulated game, I'm going to be pushing them boundaries even more.
Speaker 1 You got to have officials out there with Jason Kelsey. This is great.
Speaker 3 This is a real good story about Drew, a real United Airlines customer.
Speaker 1 After almost four years of treatments, I was finally cancer-free. My mom's like, Where do you want to go to celebrate? I'm like, Let's go somewhere tropical.
Speaker 1 And then pilot hopped on the intercom and started talking about me. And I was like, What is going on here? My wife beats cancer too, and I wanted to celebrate his special moment.
Speaker 3 That's Bill, a real United pilot.
Speaker 1
We brought him drinks and donuts. We all signed a card.
I was smiling ear to ear. Best flight ever for sure.
That's how good leads the way.

Speaker 1 Let's move on to the other game. Congratulations, though, Trav.
Speaker 1
It was awesome being out there with you. It was awesome being with the team after the game and seeing guys.
And got to see my man Trey Smith and talk to him. I got so much respect for his game.
Speaker 1 I love watching the way he plays.
Speaker 1
So it was great. It was good being out there and happy to watch you guys make history and look to make more history.
You know it, baby. Let's talk a little Eagles football.
And that's
Speaker 1 shellacking over there in Philly. I know
Speaker 1 the Birds fans were going nuts. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 55 to 23, the third time you play a team, you guys split it in the season, and sure enough, you guys win the split
Speaker 1 by by a lot i mean putting up a 50 burger in the playoffs is unbelievable for sure i mean especially against a good defense man can't turn the ball over man how do we feel about the uh about the birds though man i wasn't able to watch the game because i was going to yours that was the biggest thing i was struggling with all week do i go to travis's game do i stay in philly do i because part of me and kyle even brought up he's like you know if you stay in philly and they win, you can go to Broad Street, which is something I never, I always wanted to experience.
Speaker 1
The last time we were making runs, runs, like there's just the videos you see of everybody out on Broad Street and how much the fans and city go crazy is just so electric. It's crazy.
Yeah.
Speaker 1
But ultimately, I wanted to be out there for you. We were actually in the plane getting updates from the pilots.
We had watched already
Speaker 1 the commanders go down and get a field goal, right?
Speaker 1 But the deed looked pretty good, and they held him to three.
Speaker 1 Then you go up there and the very first run, I mean, Saquon dashes right through. Jordan Malada blocked like a defensive back into four people, tripped up Bobby Wagner and a whole bunch of people.
Speaker 1
And then Saquon broke like four tackles. I'm like, oh, these dudes are about to beat the brakes off these guys.
I don't even need to.
Speaker 1 This is about to be over. Quit it.
Speaker 1
And it was. They acted like Monster's.
To their credit, it wasn't over. Yeah, this was the first one.
Insane. I mean, dude.
Speaker 1 One, two.
Speaker 1 Some of the worst tackling I've ever seen.
Speaker 1
I mean, you can say it's bad tackling, but I mean, the guy comes in. slippery.
It's so slippery and fast and strong.
Speaker 1 He's like some of those guys that are just like, they're built like fucking boulders. And you can, you know, he squats the house sequad.
Speaker 1 And he's just, it's easy to say you can just go up and tackle him if you got good form.
Speaker 1 And it's like, that's not, that's not as easy as it seems when a guy's moving as fast as he is and a guy's as strong as he is and a guy that can just like stay balanced. He can spin off you.
Speaker 1
He can fucking jump over you. You got to be ready for it all.
And man, that run fucking showed it.
Speaker 1
And we were up in the air, and they were giving us, I asked the pilots, like, hey, give us score updates. Radio down to the tower or whatnot.
That's so fucking it was fucking electric.
Speaker 1
We were going crazy back there because they scored that touchdown. I was like, oh, this is about to be, they're about to blow the brakes off these dudes.
Yeah, that's a hell of a play to fuck.
Speaker 1 I'm like, that's
Speaker 1 going to be close.
Speaker 1 If they're running the ball like that on the first play, this is going to be a long day. After the leg was probably
Speaker 1 erupted like a volcano after that fucking touchdown, dude.
Speaker 1 The next score update we got, it was 14-6.
Speaker 1 I'm like, yeah, okay, there we go.
Speaker 1
They're still moving the ball. There we go.
Love to hear it. Then we got 14-12.
And I was like, oh, crap. This is all right.
All right. They're starting to come back a little bit.
Speaker 1
And then the next update was like 27-12. I was like, okay, this thing's done.
They're freaking... And that really was the turning point.
Speaker 1 Jayden Daniels still played a hell of a game. When you go back and watch it,
Speaker 1 like Jaden Daniels still played really well. The Commanders did a lot of things well.
Speaker 1 but that three-series sequence of like Eagles score, kickoff, fumble recovery, score, right going into half-that was when it was like, okay, this is going to be really hard for the Commanders to come back from now, especially with a run game like that and the way the Eagles were just controlling the controlling the clock.
Speaker 1 I mean, huge shout out to
Speaker 1 Dan Quinn. I mean, this team was to turn this around this quick within a year.
Speaker 1 I just thought it was such a testament to obviously how good Jaden Daniels is, but also how great of a coach Dan Quinn was to get all these guys rallied together because this team felt like it had been like it's a team that has been through it for a long time.
Speaker 1
They were tough. They played hard.
They played physical all season long.
Speaker 1 And I know they are probably still upset they lost the game, but I mean, when you take a step back and think about where they were a year ago and how good they were this year, I mean, amazing accomplishment.
Speaker 1
It's promising for sure. Yeah.
Unfortunately for Eagles fans, this is going to be something that's going to be a pain in the ass for a while over there with Jaden Daniels and the Dan Quinn commanders.
Speaker 1
Yeah. The commander Dan Quinn.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 We'll also see if, you know,
Speaker 1
there's been a lot, a lot of quarterbacks that have one really good year as their first year. That's true.
We'll see. Jaden, that's a challenge to you, brother.
I want to see it.
Speaker 1
I know I want to see it. I'm a fan.
Yeah, Jason, you officially pulled off the Donna Donna Kelsey. How about it, man? Keep it in the family.
Speaker 1
Go to an Eagles and Chiefs game in the playoffs in one fucking day. But you did it on Championship Sunday, which is cool.
I did get to see everybody before the game, which was awesome. Nice.
Speaker 1 You know, I got to interview Nick Siriani. I got to see Stout and Dom and Lane and all the guys I got to watch go out on the field and
Speaker 1 at least dap them up. Yeah, I was about to say all the guys that you went to the Super Bowl with or won the Super Bowl with and Shady was there.
Speaker 1
Dude, you could see the look in those guys' eyes, too. These dudes were so focused and ready to do something.
Nice. The intensity, that's what I love about playoff football.
Speaker 1
And I'm sure the commanders were the same way. Like the intensity was palpable.
You could tell how much everybody was ready to get something done. And
Speaker 1 just
Speaker 1
I miss, I miss being a part of that for sure. Man, I love that shit.
When everybody's just dialed in and they just got that dog look in them, they got that feel of like,
Speaker 1
not scared of a goddamn thing, man. We're going to go in here, we're going to fight for sure.
Fight to the finish. I love that fucking feeling, man.
Speaker 1 Well, Jason, we have to ask, in your famous words, we got to ask.
Speaker 1 As a retired Eagle, how does it feel that your team has gotten back to the Super Bowl, brother? As a retired Eagle, I'm immensely happy for these guys. I got to watch a bunch of guys that
Speaker 1 are really, really close to me
Speaker 1 and have been pivotal either coaches or players and teammates, staff. I got to watch a lot of people win a monumentally huge game
Speaker 1 and
Speaker 1 not similar to the commanders, but the way last season ended for this group of players and coaches, and the teams are different, obviously. Like, no two teams are the same every year.
Speaker 1 It's always got slight differences, always, but there's a lot of similarities. Nick Siriani was fighting a lot of nonsense all offseason, right?
Speaker 1 And I just think so, I'm just so incredibly happy and proud that these guys have persevered and stuck together, you know, got it done and are find themselves back in the Super Bowl just two years being removed from the last time we were there.
Speaker 1 Very happy for all these guys. Well,
Speaker 1 I got a lot of love for a lot of the players and coaches over there, just being your fucking brother, man.
Speaker 1 So
Speaker 1
we know it's going to be our hardest fucking test. That's for damn sure.
I mean, this is how it goes. The two teams in the Super Bowl, go figure.
They're going to be well matched up.
Speaker 1 You know, we run the ball extremely well. Spaggs is probably the best coordinator I ever played, at least one of the best coordinators I ever played against in terms of it stopping the run.
Speaker 1
Like, he's going to have some front style up. He's going to be stacking the line of scrimmage.
He's going to make the Eagles uncomfortable at times. And the Eagles, I mean, that was another thing.
Speaker 1 I'm just so happy for Jalen Hurts to have that game right there heading into the Super Bowl because he's coming off the concussion.
Speaker 1
and some extended period of time not playing for that first playoff game. Then the second playoff game, it's a freaking blizzard.
So the passing yards were down the first two weeks of the postseason.
Speaker 1
Then he goes out and has a game like this, plays unbelievably well, throws, I mean, it might have been one of his best games of the season. And it happened in probably the most meaningful game.
So,
Speaker 1 not probably the most meaningful game. So
Speaker 1 all the stuff that you could want to go right went right in this one for the Eagles. And it's a hell of a momentum to take into the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 Was it over when they put the Washington gear on the Rocky statue or what? Dude, I love it. Whenever I see a team doing it, I'm like, all right, y'all playing with fire.
Speaker 1 The ghost of Rockies about to come back.
Speaker 1
I'm fully aware of the fact that it happens every single meaningful game. I don't think it's the other team doing it at this point.
You think the Eagles are doing it? 100%. I mean,
Speaker 1
iconically, they put the Chiefs gear on the statue last time. Yeah, that was Chiefs gear.
It was like a red shirt that said Chiefs on it. Is that what it was? I don't remember.
Speaker 1 They like wrote Chiefs in Sherpa or something.
Speaker 1
It's got to be Philadelphia. This is a conspiracy I can get behind.
This is a conspiracy I can get behind. They're just firing up the entire city, getting it nice and rowdy.
Speaker 1 Well, we learned about a new NFL rule in the game that
Speaker 1
the palpably unfair act rule. Yeah, I actually already knew this rule.
I didn't know that that's what it was called. I love it.
I don't get it.
Speaker 1
I missed this. So they jumped off sides four times.
Sounds silly. I mean, it was crazy.
They just just kept jumping over. Yeah, well, you kept going hard cadence.
Speaker 1
Well, yeah, but if you continually jump, at some point they award you the score. Yeah.
And I think I like it. I like that idea.
I think it's absolutely ridiculous. No, it's not.
Just snap the ball.
Speaker 1
No. Just snap the ball, dude.
Dude, what are we doing?
Speaker 1 Why are we trying to get closer? We're not trying to get closer. We're trying to stop this guy from jumping over and headbutting our quarterback on a quarterback sneak.
Speaker 1
So maybe stop jumping over the pile. How about that? He's going to time it up better, bud.
Yeah, he does.
Speaker 1
But if you don't time it up better, better, I think after that many times, you should get points. Because at some point, they can just do whatever they want.
You're right. I guess you're right.
Speaker 1
Once you're backed up so far, like, what is the, I don't know. No, I get it.
Here's what I do know.
Speaker 1 Landon Dickerson and Cam Juergens are two of the toughest motherfuckers I've ever seen play football. What happened with that situation? So Cam's back was all screwed up all week.
Speaker 1 Landon Dickerson was tough as hell, tried to push through his knee deal. Then Cam Jergens had to go in after dealing with the back injury and ends up finding a way way to get it done.
Speaker 1 I don't know how he did it, but he found a way to get it done. Swapping centers like that is, I mean, that's a crazy deal.
Speaker 1 If it happens in KC, I know like we, we're not just like outside of like the QB center exchange before practices, like QBs aren't just like taking the snap from the second string guys.
Speaker 1 You know what I mean? Of course.
Speaker 1
Yeah. And I think that that's where, you know, they had the benefit.
Landon played all week at center because Cam was trying to get healthy. So they had tons of reps to get that center exchange down.
Speaker 1 And then Cam and Jalen have been center and quarterback for the whole year. So they got tons of reps together.
Speaker 1 I think if they would have had to go to like a third-string guy that they had never worked with, that's when it starts to like, oh, wow, this could really,
Speaker 1
who knows how this is going to turn out? Yeah. No, I think that those guys have both played a lot for the Eagles.
They understand,
Speaker 1
even when Landon's at guard, he'll operate. He thinks like a center.
Landon has the mind of a center. So he always is communicating.
He sees the game very similarly.
Speaker 1 For Landon, it was probably pretty easy from a mental standpoint to go in there, even though he was hobbled with the knee eventually.
Speaker 1 And then Cam going back in there, I think that was just like, you know, can this guy function? Which he clearly was able to. How many times did Eagles fans yell at you to put the pads back on?
Speaker 1 For what? Just come on.
Speaker 1
Just put him back on. There's a lot of tweets.
There's a lot of tweets. I appreciate them.
Nice. I don't know what else to say.
Speaker 1 Well,
Speaker 1 yeah, I guess
Speaker 1
I feel like we kind of already talked about who are we rooting for? Who are you rooting for, yeah? A little bit. We didn't really touch.
Here's the biggest thing. Obviously, you're my brother.
Speaker 1
I always root for my brother. That's the reality of it.
All right. Even though I'm decked out in Eagles gear, I'm always going to root for Travis.
Speaker 1 Take that, Philly.
Speaker 1 But
Speaker 1 what? Yeah, but.
Speaker 1 There's a lot of people in the Philadelphia organization, whether it's players, coaches,
Speaker 1
people in the building that feel like extended family to me, especially my former lineman. Like Lane Johnson feels like a brother in a lot of ways.
And I'm rooting for those guys too.
Speaker 1
I'm rooting for Philadelphia and I'm rooting for Travis Kelsey. That's the reality of it.
No matter what on game day, I'm going to be happy for
Speaker 1
one of those sides and I'm going to be sad for the other side. Yeah, I was about to say it'd be mixed emotions, man.
Yeah. And it's similar to the last time we played.
Speaker 1
I mean, maybe a little bit less less intense because I'm not playing now, but I think it's going to be very, very similar. I really do.
I live in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 I still go to the facilities on a very regular basis. I still feel like I am a Philadelphia Eagle and that I'm a part of all of these people that root and cheer on our team.
Speaker 1 So I would be lying if I didn't say,
Speaker 1
I would be lying if I said I wasn't going to be very happy. if the Chiefs or if the Eagles, I'm trying to think, I'm saying like double negatives right now.
I'm trying to get this right.
Speaker 1 I would be lying if I said I don't want the Eagles to win. You know what I mean? I want them to, but I also want Travis Kelsey to win.
Speaker 1 So that's a long-winded way of saying, I just want to see a good football game, and whoever wins, I'm going to be happy for that guy. You heard it here first, folks.
Speaker 1 He wants Travis Kelsey to win. We need to get you a mom jacket,
Speaker 1 a mom jacket, a jersey. We need to get one.
Speaker 1
Donna Kelsey jersey. Yeah, we got to get a cut and sew action here where we can get you cheering for both teams like mom's done year in, year out.
I can't wear red. I can't wear it.
Speaker 1 i'm not i can't bring myself to it what about like bearcat red that's what kylie does but i don't even think she's gonna be doing that this time around kylie
Speaker 1 i'm gonna wear my new heights
Speaker 1 big yeti shirt is it in red or is it in yellow the yeti shirt is it the red one or the one that's in yellow i don't know oh it's in chiefs red okay so i won't be wearing the big yeti shirt i'll wear the yellow one i have the big yeti yellow one i'll have i'll wear that just wear a new heights shirt man that way i know that's a good idea there you go there you go We're one of the new merch.
Speaker 1 New heights. All right.
Speaker 1 Let's take a look at Broad Street for some of the best of Eagles fans celebrations because we always know Broad Street's going to get fucking nuts when
Speaker 1
Philadelphia sports teams punch their ticket into the championship, man. For sure.
The pole climbing reading inner excellence is fucking hilarious. God damn.
Philly gets it, man. It's a fun city.
Speaker 1 It is a fun city.
Speaker 1 Check you you mark me the book throw me the book yeah
Speaker 1 yeah
Speaker 1 no that's inner excellence right there dude i couldn't be more happy of all the positive mental just like
Speaker 1 therapy that aj brown has brought to the city of philadelphia so many people are going to be reading this self-help book pregame uh walking cart smoker Pregame walking cart smoker.
Speaker 1
Oh, that's fucking hilarious. This guy's smoking some ribs.
That's fucking hilarious.
Speaker 1
There's a pig's head on there. Go back to that.
Was there a pig's head on the car? It was a whole fucking pig. He's literally,
Speaker 1 he's literally roasted.
Speaker 1 Jesus, that's amazing.
Speaker 1 Twisted T underneath it.
Speaker 1
Nice. All right.
That's fucking hilarious. Six-year-old arrested climbing a pole.
Let's see that one. You can't be kidding.
Speaker 1 That's not real.
Speaker 1 That's actually hilarious. Even the police were having fun with the craziness that is Broad Street after
Speaker 1 an NFC championship win, man.
Speaker 1
Is New Orleans, Louisiana, ready for Eagles fans, man? Not if they win. I mean, New Orleans has seen some rowdy stuff just in general.
Like, that's a rowdy town. They're ready to party at any time.
Speaker 1
Oh, yeah. But Birds fans down there, if the Birds pull this off, it's going to leave their mark for sure on Bourbon Street.
Bring your party beads.
Speaker 1
There's plenty of poles outside on the street and inside. You got to grease them.
You got to grease them. There's going to be beads and poles, and it's going to be freaking nuts.
Speaker 1 Yeah, or it's not going to be.
Speaker 1 Is there any other football stuff we want to hit?
Speaker 1 Who are you rooting for?
Speaker 1 I'll tell tell you what.
Speaker 1
My money's on Pat Mahomes. All right.
That's it for Championship Sunday. We will have a full Super Bowl episode dropping next week where we can talk about some more football.
Speaker 1 We're also going to record that one in person in New Orleans. I'm hoping from a balcony right on Bourbon Street, but they're telling me that logistically that's impossible.
Speaker 1 But we still are figuring out our schedule. So stay tuned to New Heights on social so you know when that episode next week is going to start
Speaker 1
on to the next segment new heights food Court. All right.
New Heights Food Court is brought to you by MTV's The Challenge All-Stars. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1
That's what I'm talking about, baby. Think you could make it work with your worst enemy? Tune in January 29th at 8-7 Central on MTV.
That's what I'm talking about, a little MTV shout-out.
Speaker 1 Are there that many people in the central time zone that it's worth saying 8-7 Central?
Speaker 1 Why is it always, why is it done that way? I think there's more people in the West Coast time zone, right?
Speaker 1 Yeah. So, why don't you say East and West Coast and let the people in the middle just do some math? Yeah,
Speaker 1 you could do it like that, or you could just talk to probably our audience. And
Speaker 1 since you're in the East Coast and I'm in Central Time, all right, that makes a lot more sense. I mean, that's just how I draw the conclusion or connection.
Speaker 1 No, it's really smart, so I feel stupid now.
Speaker 1
This week, we're informed there is an official Skyline chili ice cream. What the fuck are we doing, people? I'm not going to lie.
I cannot wait to try this. This is so disgusting.
Speaker 1 Why can you not wait to try this? Because I'm a sucker for these stupid new like food item things.
Speaker 1 Like, I always go to Taco Bell and get like their Dorito shell, whatever, and it fucking tastes terrible all the time. But I got higher expectations.
Speaker 1
Why did you just say Graters like that? You know, Graters is fucking the best. It's got one good flavor.
It's got every good flavor.
Speaker 1
It's got one good flavor. It's got one flavor that everybody knows.
That's all the best. Black raspberry chip, but
Speaker 1
you're out of your mind. Graters is incredible.
Well, they just got worse for doing Skyline Chili. I think we get a Garage Beer-flavored
Speaker 1
ice cream. Oh, I thought you were going to say Garage Beer-flavored Skyline Chili.
I was like, dude, no.
Speaker 1 No, that doesn't sound good to me, but Garage Beer-flavored ice cream sounds better than a beer? A garage beer-flavored ice cream? Yeah, that sounds fucking delicious. Oh, all right, yeah.
Speaker 1
I thought you were saying, yeah. Yeah.
All right. Well, we know Jason would eat this.
There's no fucking chance I'm eating this. I cannot wait to try this.
Speaker 1 Greaters, if you're out there, you want to ship some and some dry ice, I will eat it on this podcast because that's how much I love it.
Speaker 1
I am in. I'm going to be very honest, though.
If it's bad, I am going to say it's bad. So don't send it to me if it sucks.
What would be the worst food to be made into an ice cream?
Speaker 1 I would say one is chili.
Speaker 1
What do you think? I don't know. Chili, like you put sour cream in it.
I think it pairs well with the dairy more than people really think when they first hear it. Just going to put that out there.
Speaker 1 You disconnected sour cream and ice cream? Just saying, they're both dairies. They're creams, derivatives of cream.
Speaker 1
Something tells me that the sour cream that they're serving over there in Skyline Chili isn't. I don't think they put sour cream in Skyline.
Skyline is not traditional chili. We both know that.
Speaker 1 What do you think would be the worst thing for
Speaker 1 ice cream flavor?
Speaker 1 What doesn't match up with dairies to you? I mean, mean the problem is everything kind of works for ice cream it's i i just love ice cream that much i mean
Speaker 1 i'm reading mayo mayo would be fucking just abstract
Speaker 1 disgusting i don't think i'd be interested in that it's too much mayo i'm not a big dairy and spicy guy no i don't think those two really mix very well like so like a jalapeno wouldn't go wouldn't be a good ice cream jalapeno ice cream I don't think so.
Speaker 1
Anything like flaming hot like that, like super spicy. I'd do some long hot ice cream.
Ooh, some long hots.
Speaker 1
Pickled, long hots ice cream. God, that's cool.
Pickles, another one. Pickle I would definitely be out on.
And I love pickles, but pickles and ice cream would be fucking disgusting.
Speaker 1 A little salty and a little sweet. That's not just what you get.
Speaker 1
That's crazy. You just tried to make it sound that simple.
Well, cucumbers, what about cucumber ice cream? I bet that'd be pretty good. I like cucumber water sometimes.
It's a very faint flavor.
Speaker 1
It wouldn't turn me away. I would be like, all right, I'll try it, but it wouldn't, it wouldn't make, it's not like this sounds good.
I think pickle ice cream wouldn't be bad.
Speaker 1
I'm in on trying a little pickle ice cream. I don't think we're going to find a flavor that I'm not into.
Ice cream is where I'm different than like donuts. Everybody likes the creative donuts.
Speaker 1
I fucking can't stand creative donuts. Give me a glazed donut, and I'll tell you if it's good or not.
Ice cream, I'd like being a little frisky with some ice cream now. I'll try your funky flavors.
Speaker 1
Were you an espresso hater on ice cream? Like a coffee flavor ice cream? No, I love coffee ice cream. Love coffee ice cream.
My go-to is butter pecan or pralines and cream.
Speaker 1 Typically, I get two scoops.
Speaker 1 I go to the ice cream parlor. I get a cup.
Speaker 1 Never a cone, never a cone, get a cup, and I'm going to put one scoop of something that I know is going to be good, and I'm going to do another scoop of something that either pairs well with that or something that sounds interesting and I've never had.
Speaker 1
That's kind of my go-to for ice cream. That's a pro move, ladies and gentlemen.
That's how you get ice cream. Sometimes I'll just go cone because I love that sugary delight.
You like the cone?
Speaker 1
I'll do it occasionally. I'll do it frisky.
It's got a good texture to it. It's got to be a good, like, a nice vanilla waffle cone or like something like just like
Speaker 1
I'm about to go get some fucking ice cream today. That does sound good.
What is on the Mount Rushmore of ice cream flavors? That's like asking what's on your Mount Rushmore of like movies and music.
Speaker 1
There's just so many fucking flavors and some flavors taste better from different places. You know, I just, I can't just.
It's very hard. So I'm going to go.
Speaker 1
You can't go wrong with fucking Oreo or cookies and cream. It's just like.
Okay. So Oreo is one.
I've never heard anyone say they dislike Oreos or cookies and cream. It's true.
Speaker 1 It is a pretty unanimously loved ice cream. Are you a Butter Pecan fan?
Speaker 1
You better believe it. I love Butter Pecan.
It's my favorite. Fuck God.
I'll fuck on that shit.
Speaker 1 But you know why? It's like, it's that salty and sweet deal.
Speaker 1 that's what that's what gets me with the butter be can i was a big fan of coldstone creamery and getting uh the cake batter ice cream instead of brownie in there
Speaker 1 god damn it that's one of my favorites
Speaker 1 you can't
Speaker 1 it's so hard it was so good
Speaker 1 dude that's a fucking and then i would have some drizzle that's a drop kick to your tonsils right there i would have
Speaker 1 drizzle the caramel and chocolate in there as well with it
Speaker 1 it's another pro move jason cake batter but dude cake batter specifically from cold so cold so
Speaker 1 yeah which graders probably is not gonna like there's another one is black raspberry chip on there i'm disappointed that you made me have to make this decision what else do we have we got to get something like i'll tell you what
Speaker 1 another one i will say
Speaker 1
one that i go to very often it's a very safe pick and it's always good pretty much lemon ice I love strawberry ice cream. I'm with you.
It's like, it's not something that
Speaker 1
it's kind of like you forget about it. It is so good.
It goes back to your two-flavor thing. That's one that I can pair with a lot of the ones that I get.
Speaker 1 Now, you can pair strawberry with Oreo, cookies and cream, with butter, pecan, you can like moose tracks. You can pair strawberries with all those.
Speaker 1
Cake batter, another one. It's just, it just makes sense.
Final four, I'm going to go cookies and cream. Yeah.
Speaker 1
You can't go too creative. I think you got to keep it pretty simple because you can't go brand specific.
So I'm with you. Oreos and cream.
Oreos, cookies and cream. Nice.
Butter, pecan.
Speaker 1
Yep. I say cake batter and black raspberry chip.
But cake batter is only specific to what's it called?
Speaker 1 I can't think of the name.
Speaker 1
Coldstone. Coldstone.
I've never had it outside of Coldstone. I'll say that.
Right. But god damn it, I've never had black raspberry chip outside of Graters.
Speaker 1
There's some other people making black raspberry now. They've tried to take it from them.
It's not done as well. All right, you make the list then.
No, you got it. That's it.
Speaker 1
Cookies are cream, butter pecan, cake cake batter, and black raspberry chip. Tell us how we did, 92%ers.
People are going to hate this list. This is easily the most.
Speaker 1 This is a solid list. You can mix cake batter with everything.
Speaker 1
We're on the same page. We don't just like to grab one.
We like to get something that's a combo. We like to get more flavors and sometimes combine those flavors.
Right.
Speaker 1 And I think all these you can kind of combine and
Speaker 1 you can make a really good
Speaker 1 ice cream spread. The fact that we don't have any chocolate on there, I just like, I'm in agreement.
Speaker 1
I mean, chocolate ice cream is nice. It sucks.
That was the bear claw you're talking about. It had the brownie and the chocolate.
It was so fucking good.
Speaker 1 It was so good.
Speaker 1 All right. Well, too bad we already put it up there.
Speaker 1
Let's keep it moving. Shout out to the New Heights Food Court.
And shout out to Graders stepping their game up with Skyline Chili. Yeah.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 Everybody in Cincinnati, go and taste that shit and tell us. If Jason can't get it sent to his house,
Speaker 1
you tell us. I would love to hear.
And don't be biased just because you love both of them. Just be honest.

All right.
Speaker 1
All right, we got a poop dollar tweet. Oh, hell yeah.
Workaholics, baby. At New Heights Show, hear me out.
If Philly Casey's Super Bowl, so this was tweeted before that was decided, I'm assuming.
Speaker 1
Jason is guest for the coin toss. Hurt, Saquon, Pat, and Travis are captains.
Jason rigs a silver dollar with dog poo.
Speaker 1 When the official flips the coin and picks it up, they all yell, poop dollar.
Speaker 1
Listen, I do love a good poop dollar. I love the Super Bowl to New Heights.
I love a good poop dollar. Don't get me wrong, but I think there's an appropriate time.
Speaker 1 And that is the Super Bowl coin toss.
Speaker 1
There's no way. It is going to wait down one of the sides, so it won't be a very even coin toss.
Whatever side the poop's on, it's going to be landing that side down. It's got to be tails, right?
Speaker 1
That's got to be the poop dollar side. So if it lands tails, you just scream poop dollar.
Well, it's the poop dollar is on whatever side you put it on, or you put it on both sides.
Speaker 1
Dude, it's not even a dollar. But if it is, if it's a silver dollar.
Ooh. So if it's a silver dollar, you got to put it on the tail side.
You can't. Tail side.
Speaker 1
You can't put poop on the poop on somebody's head. Yeah.
Yeah. So if it lands heads, then we don't say anything.
But if it lands tails, we all got to yell poop dollar.
Speaker 1
I think you just yell poop dollar when the official picks it up. That's fucked up.
Well, now they know it's coming. I don't know how we're going to commandeer the coin toss
Speaker 1
or the coin for the coin toss. Well, you're the that's.
I know where we can get poop from. I feel pretty confident I can get that, but I don't know how we're going to be able to get the coin.
Speaker 1
Yeah, that's a good point. You know, Roger.
You just got to talk to Roger. All right, I'll talk to Roger.
Nice. We've got a lot of voicemails, and in particular, we got a lot of voicemails that
Speaker 1
you guys wanted to hear our interns answer. So we're bringing in Jake and Brandon to this segment.
What's up? Where we're going to listen to some voicemails. What's up? What's up, boys?
Speaker 1 Don't hold us up.
Speaker 1
I saw you guys. I am already regretting this.
Everyone, please stop talking. No, you're not.
Jake, Brandon, how are you guys feeling? You guys feeling good? I'm good.
Speaker 1 Dude, I've been floating.
Speaker 1 Dude,
Speaker 1
I got a question. How was Arrowhead? Arrowhead was loud.
Everhead was rocking. Arrowhead was rocking.
I will say this.
Speaker 1 You ever experienced the
Speaker 1 Cowboys Stadium rocking like that?
Speaker 1 Let's see. The last time they were in that old NFC title game, I was...
Speaker 1 Jake,
Speaker 1 no. The Jets Stadium ever get rocking like that?
Speaker 7
MetLife gets loud. I'll give Jets fans some credit.
MetLife gets loud.
Speaker 1 It does.
Speaker 7 I haven't been to a playoff game in 15 years, but
Speaker 1 i was just asking questions just as there was two guys from
Speaker 1 you know devoted fans to their fan base yeah yeah diehard cowboys fan brandon diehard cowboys fan sure yeah all of you uh the
Speaker 1 the moment at arrowhead jig i don't remember like if you had the moment that it was the loudest at arrowhead was
Speaker 1 when the fourth when the fourth down was incomplete when like everybody was confirmed that ball hit the ground was holy shit that place erupted and then when everybody kind of clocked that p-rine had the angle to get the first down, because there was such a lull from that third down.
Speaker 1
It was like, oh, shit. We could give Josh Allen one more chance if we don't have to.
Everybody was doing the math in their head, and there was a lot of clinching going on in that stadium.
Speaker 1 So it was a lot of like, oh, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. And then I think when they saw him break and they saw the angle he had that first down, I think that was the loudest I heard at all.
Speaker 1
And that was fucking incredible. It was shaking the walls.
That was wild. I will say that.
Speaker 1 That was nuts. Yeah, which voicemail? Which voicemail do you want to hear?
Speaker 1 People want to hear from us this week.
Speaker 1 Let's see what rooting's about. Okay.
Speaker 8 So we know that everyone's going to be asking Jason who he's rooting for in the Super Bowl, what he's going to wear, everything.
Speaker 8
My question is for intern Brandon and Jet Shake. Congrats on getting up to the suite.
We all saw the picture on Twitter.
Speaker 1 Congrats.
Speaker 8 X, whatever they call it now.
Speaker 8 So the big question,
Speaker 8 one,
Speaker 8 do you get to go to the game? And two,
Speaker 8 what are y'all going to wear
Speaker 8 for the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 It's a great question, guys.
Speaker 1 Great question.
Speaker 1
Great question. Way to put Travis on the spot.
Let's do it.
Speaker 1 Yeah, thanks.
Speaker 1
It's weird how that voicemail got slipped in here. That's crazy.
Travis, our entering Brandon, and
Speaker 1 Travis, really for you, first off.
Speaker 1 The crazy thing is, is that all NFL players get two tickets. So, Jason, I'm pretty sure you know somebody on the Eagle that you can give.
Speaker 1
This is Jason longest choice in his favorite. But you know players on the Eagles that you could probably give.
You want me to ask other players for two tickets for interim Brandon and Jets Jake?
Speaker 1
No, I'm not doing that. Yes, you do.
God damn it. I thought we were all friends here.
If you guys want to go, I'll buy some tickets. That was your chance, boys.
Speaker 1 I don't even know if I'm going to go yet, but I'll see how you can do it.
Speaker 1 I'm going to go where you go.
Speaker 1 I'm going to go where you go.
Speaker 1
I might watch it from Bourbon Street. I'm not going to lie.
That sounds more electric than being in that stadium.
Speaker 1 The rooting question is very good, and I really think Jake's got the best answer on this. So, I'll let him go first.
Speaker 7 Well, oh, that was what I was gonna do to you, so that's fine.
Speaker 1 No, I think, Jake, let's let you go first, buddy. Uh, who are you rooting for?
Speaker 7 They asked what I would be wearing. Uh, I will be wearing New Heights merch because I'm a company.
Speaker 1 Well done, well done, Jake. That's why we employ you.
Speaker 7 Exactly. Who I'm rooting for is a tough question because most of my family lives in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 Oh,
Speaker 7 Travis is playing
Speaker 7 and so
Speaker 7 if either one of you is buying us tickets, that's probably the team I'm going to
Speaker 1 all right. Well that's set that settled that one for you.
Speaker 1
If I buy you a ticket to get you an Eagles gear at the Super Bowl, I might just be willing to make that up. Jeff looks like swoop.
I don't give a fuck.
Speaker 1 Scott just wants to go to the Super Bowl, man. I love it.
Speaker 1
That's a fair one. That's a fair one.
Brandon, are you going to give your two cents or are you in on with Jake on that? Oh, I can be bought. I can be bought like
Speaker 1 my price is low, brother.
Speaker 1 I will say this, and I've been thinking about this because it's funny when this happens. Jason and I were laughing about this of like, of course, this is the fucking situation we found ourselves in.
Speaker 1 Again,
Speaker 1 again, we're going to run this back.
Speaker 1 I, of course, want to root for Travis Kelsey because
Speaker 1 the phone call or recording we have to have afterwards is going to be miserable otherwise. But that's a good point.
Speaker 1 I do want to say this, and I do really, really want to say this to Philly fans, to Chiefs fans, so much of what this show was able to do like season one was because both teams and organizations and coaches and players were so like nice to us and so like gracious to give us access to Jalen and Pat and Andy showed up for an episode that it's this is gonna suck I'm being very clear.
Speaker 1 This is going to suck bad. Like, I really,
Speaker 1 it's really fun that this happened again. It also is going to be such a kick in the dick for, no, it really is.
Speaker 1 Like, I, I have been very lucky to get to meet a lot of the, the people we talk about, and I am going to be fucking heartbroken for somebody.
Speaker 1 And it's, I really don't want to go through it, but it's, I think that's the honest answer is like, it's going to be. miserable for somebody and I don't want to deal with that, but we'll have to.
Speaker 1 We'll cross that bridge when we get there. But it's going to be
Speaker 1 answerable. It's honorable.
Speaker 1 I really can't say enough good things about both the players and coaches and media people that we've gotten to work with over the last couple of years, and it's going to be fucking brutal.
Speaker 1 And I want all of them to know that.
Speaker 1 It's a genuine answer.
Speaker 1 It's championship organizations, for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 1 Both of them don't get here without being fully, you know, having the full arsenal of people doing it the right way.
Speaker 1 I do remember when we started this and we were working with the Eagles for the first time, and I met one of the Eagles PR people, and they were like, You're just going to give Jason a microphone?
Speaker 1 And I was like, Yeah, they're like, And he's going to fucking say whatever. And I was like, Yes, and they were like, Oh, good luck with that.
Speaker 1 Really?
Speaker 1 Yeah, they were like, Oh boy,
Speaker 1 you guys can edit.
Speaker 1 Wow,
Speaker 1 yeah, that was this was like the easiest ask that I've ever had to ask like the Chiefs media.
Speaker 1 Really, yeah, asking them if it was cool if I did catching Kelsey. Now, that's a ask.
Speaker 1 Yeah,
Speaker 1
you want to do one more, Jason? Yeah. You know what they want to hear.
Which one you want to
Speaker 1
hear? All right, let's hear the last one then. No, you know which one they want to hear.
I don't know which one they want to hear. I don't.
I thought that was the one. I'll play it.
I'll play it.
Speaker 8
Hey, guys. This is Jenna, long time Slifty here.
And I need to know, intern Brandon and Jeff Jake, how does it feel that you have gotten the
Speaker 8 pay fuck-ass filter privileges?
Speaker 8 We know it's hard to get in there, and you guys did it.
Speaker 8 So, I need to know. What was the experience like? How did it happen? Was it just a ball of chaos? Was it planned? Not planned, but you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 But, yeah, let us know. Well, what was the what?
Speaker 1 They signed NBA, so let's see if they break it or not.
Speaker 1 The fuck-ass filter. It is the
Speaker 1
what filter? We have learned about this recently. It is the the what filter.
It's the they have a name for like how the photos on that camera turn out, is what I have learned.
Speaker 1
And that was the photo that people have been tweeting. But I'll say this about the sweep.
I'm so confused. Yeah, I had to.
You guys got to get on that. And I'm online.
Speaker 1 I don't.
Speaker 1
What are you even saying? You're saying focus? You're saying the fuck-ass filter? The fuck-ass filter. The fuck-ass filter.
What the fuck is that?
Speaker 1 That's the name they picked for home.
Speaker 1 They don't just say a name.
Speaker 1 They make it make sense. What is the what make it make sense? Why is I don't
Speaker 1 as confused as everybody else? It doesn't sound like you're anywhere near as confused as us.
Speaker 1 The fuck-ass filter is just how those photos turn out on that camera. Jake, if I'm wrong,
Speaker 1 what camera? Taylor's camera.
Speaker 1 Taylor has a camera? Who?
Speaker 1 Who?
Speaker 1 All right.
Speaker 1 Well, since you understood the question, go ahead and answer it. I'll say this.
Speaker 1 I will say this.
Speaker 1 Two things. One,
Speaker 1
nothing that we've ever done on the show is planned. Let me make sure that's abundantly clear.
This has been nothing but winging it for about three years.
Speaker 1
So Jake and I ended up, where we ended up was a complete fucking last second Hail Mary of like, hey, if there's any fucking room, we'll go. Like, you know, we'll go.
And we were very lucky. Jake and I
Speaker 1
were talking. We got in Saturday.
We're going Sunday. And we were like, Saturday, let's fucking keep it easy.
Let's go have dinner. Let's get like a drink and let's get the fuck to bed.
Speaker 1
Sunday's a a marathon. Got to be on your best behavior.
You're fucking, you're meeting everybody. We fucked that up so bad.
We were out 12 hours the goddamn night on like Westport.
Speaker 1
That was a stupid idea. We were so not ready for the Westport.
It's a good time. It was
Speaker 1
a good time. You got to tell everybody where you went in Westport.
We went to Char Bar and we went to California. You didn't tell me you went to Char Bar first.
We went to Char Bar first.
Speaker 1 Char Barbara. You guys in barbecue? Oh, we got those burnt ins.
Speaker 1
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
I like the wings, too. They got the big, they got the full wing.
They don't split. We didn't do the the wings.
Speaker 1 We got like a barbecue platter and then the guy, I can't remember if he was the owner or not, was like, oh, you got to go to this bar down the street first.
Speaker 1
And we were like, oh, let's fucking go there. Yeah.
And then I turn the corner. Like six hours of, I don't know.
Jake, how were you feeling that next morning?
Speaker 7 It was not good. I couldn't.
Speaker 7 I had to mix in a couple more waters than I did, but it was an awesome weekend.
Speaker 7 Very happy to be there.
Speaker 1 And
Speaker 1
I'll say this about Jake and I. We were completely unprepared for for the moment, but we went, we were in the suites.
I will say this. Jake and I had no idea how to introduce ourselves.
Speaker 1 Like we forgot how to be people. We were like, do you, do you, are we going to shake hands with her? Are we going to like, what does she know?
Speaker 1 We walked in the door and I'll give this away. She, she said our names immediately was like, oh my God, Brandon, Jake, finally.
Speaker 1 We were floored.
Speaker 1 Like,
Speaker 1
we didn't see it coming. It was such a, she just shook us immediately with knowing our names and it just threw us and we floated on over to continue the conversation.
And so that was
Speaker 1 a moment that I will sort of replay in my head for a while. She knows how to break the ice.
Speaker 1 She broke the ice so
Speaker 1 she could probably read that Jake and I were terrified.
Speaker 1 I got, she's like, I got a,
Speaker 1 I'm sensing a lot of middle school dance energy from these two. So I'm just going to go ahead and you're like, thank you so much for being the adult here.
Speaker 1 Jake, am I wrong? Am I wrong on the read of that situation? We were fucking it up bad. No, you're right.
Speaker 7 You also, you told me to, you know, wipe my nose a little bit before I had some head bats in the cave. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 1 I looked you dead in the eyes and I was like, you got to, you got to clean up the face, brother. Like, we're going in the door.
Speaker 1 No,
Speaker 7 it was awesome. And Trav, like, your friends are a good group of people to watch.
Speaker 1 Good hang. Like, that is a good hang.
Speaker 7 It's an awesome, welcoming group. And they were just like hyped for me and Brandon to be there, which was an incredible experience.
Speaker 7 And it honestly was like the best football watching the past three years have been the best football watching experience of like my entire life.
Speaker 7 So, I mean, I know that's not saying much as a 30-year-old Jets fan.
Speaker 1 As a Jets fan, it's not, the bar is low.
Speaker 7 Honestly, just incredibly grateful to have been there. It was awesome.
Speaker 1
Thank you guys. No, man, it's fun.
And you already know we keep the good ones around. You guys are every part of the friend group and the hang as
Speaker 1 anybody. And
Speaker 1 yeah, man,
Speaker 1 it was a blast enjoying the rest of that
Speaker 1 chaotic
Speaker 1 suite once I got up there after the game and after
Speaker 1 the antics on the field afterwards.
Speaker 1
That thing was rocking. It was nothing but good vibes, man.
That was good. It was fun.
Yeah, I appreciate you guys saying that about Tay.
Speaker 1 Of course.
Speaker 1
No. One more thing.
Can I do one more? Can I do one more? Yeah. And I did want to wait to say this on the show, but
Speaker 1 you know, we had a long conversation with her, but she was very complimentary of the show.
Speaker 1 Nice.
Speaker 1 And of like, oh, she listens every week. She gave us some creative compliments, and she, like,
Speaker 1
it's shit that, like, let me be very clear. You can't tell me shit for the rest of my fucking life.
I'm going to be very honest. Like, if you can't, you can't.
I am going to be obnoxious.
Speaker 1 I'm like, do you know who you're fucking talking to?
Speaker 1
We're doing a, we're doing performance reviews at work. And let me tell you something right now.
Fucking, I'm not listening to a goddamn thing for another six years. Get out of my face.
Speaker 1 So I will say that I was very appreciative of it.
Speaker 1 And I did want to make sure everybody, you know, Jake and I are very lucky that we get to kind of fuck around with you guys publicly, but there's a lot of people that do a lot of great work on this show.
Speaker 1
And like those compliments are not just for us. They're for everybody.
Everybody. So
Speaker 1 when somebody of that sort of like creative caliber pays you a compliment, you're kind of like, oh, fuck. And again, I'm going to be a complete narcissist from here on out.
Speaker 1
And I'm sorry to everybody who's around me. Damn it, Taylor.
Yeah, oh fuck, brother. It's done.
It's over. You lost me.
I was humble for only so long.
Speaker 1 No, it was, it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 Jake, I don't think. Do you have anything? Do you want to add?
Speaker 7
I was just going to say peek behind the curtain. Brandon's never been humble in his life.
So
Speaker 1 not much is. So business as usual, business as usual.
Speaker 1
Business as usual. Business as usual.
Business as usual.
Speaker 7 Yeah. Everything's the same.
Speaker 1 You guys want to do this last voicemail? What's the last hobby horse race? Oh, God.
Speaker 1 We're going to revisit it? Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 1
Let's do it. I do want to say this before we get in that one.
The amount of people that came up to Jake and were like, oh, you're Jake, way to throw your sister under the bus last week was staggering.
Speaker 1 Well, talking about your sister's favorite hobby, that's hobby horses.
Speaker 1 Last week, Jets Jake absolutely blew up his sister's spot when we were talking about hobby horsing and how I think it's absolutely ridiculous. And Jane sides with me on that.
Speaker 1 So we had her call in with a rebuttal. And here it is.
Speaker 8 What up, brothers? It's the sister, Jack.
Speaker 1 What's up, sis? Sister, to be exact.
Speaker 8 And I think I just need to set the record straight.
Speaker 8
You call it hobby horsing. The real horse girls call it horseless.
And I was not playing horseless in high school. Honestly, don't really even think it was middle school.
Speaker 8 So let's stick to elementary school, please. And if Jake's going to try and embarrass me, I just think you should also know he couldn't make it off the JV tennis team in high school.
Speaker 1 Wow.
Speaker 1 Wow.
Speaker 1
What? Savage. Jesus.
You couldn't make it off the JV tennis team.
Speaker 1 That is. Did we not have a backhand?
Speaker 1
It's not that hard, Jake. I was varsity.
Come on, what are we doing? How many kids even play tennis at your school? Was the court big enough, Jake? Jesus, couldn't keep it in?
Speaker 1 There's like mixed doubles, Jake. Like, what are we doing? Did we pick tennis and not have good lateral movement?
Speaker 7 You had to, like, run a mile under 10 minutes, couldn't do that.
Speaker 1 Uh, also,
Speaker 7 Jake, 10 minutes, slow as shit.
Speaker 1 Uh, also, I was like, Jake, you can walk a mile in 10 minutes. Jake, you could, like, you,
Speaker 7 I just made it worse for myself, all right? But that's fair.
Speaker 7 We're family, all right? My sister can shit on me all or she wants.
Speaker 1
She's about so good. Horseless, though.
You can't go six miles an hour for one mile.
Speaker 1 That's crazy.
Speaker 1
That's a crazy way to put it. Jake, we gotta work on this.
We gotta work on this. I know I'm working on
Speaker 7
my personal fitness. I'm working on my personal fitness.
All right. It's 2025.
Speaker 5 It's a new year.
Speaker 7 But yeah, no, high school me.
Speaker 7 High school me couldn't do the 10-minute mile.
Speaker 1 Yeah, it was bad. It was bad.
Speaker 7 But JV
Speaker 7 was fun. JV captain, three years.
Speaker 7 Didn't make it off the team.
Speaker 1 JV captain
Speaker 1 I don't think he's ever gonna be good enough to make varsity just make him the captain of the JV just captain
Speaker 1 he's gonna embrace it then yeah
Speaker 1 Jake is so good
Speaker 1 that's
Speaker 1 Jake you leader all right I was a little bit yeah we're gonna put you on varsity but we need those leadership skills on JV you got to show these kids how it's done I don't know what's more impressive need some good mentoring
Speaker 1 mentoring what did she call it? It's not, she said it's not hobby horse. It's what
Speaker 7 she called it horseless, like horseback riding without a horse.
Speaker 1
No, it's it's horseback. That's so worse.
That's
Speaker 1 not
Speaker 1
even better. No.
It is better than it was like elementary school, though. I'll give her that.
Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 You lied.
Speaker 7 She's lying.
Speaker 1 I can see it being a kid's thing. I still
Speaker 1 accusing your sister of lying? How long did she do it for?
Speaker 7
All right. I'll give her probably not high school, but like I was in high school, so she was in middle school.
Well, middle school with the difference.
Speaker 1
All right. She's calling back in with more shit next week.
All right.
Speaker 7 She's probably ignoring me for the rest of her life.
Speaker 1 I don't know what's more embarrassing. Middle school hobby horsing or JV
Speaker 1 captain of the tennis team for three years.
Speaker 1 Could she have run a mile with the hobby horse or like in less than 10 minutes? She's guaranteed. She's guaranteed, right? Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 She was quick.
Speaker 1 Why did you keep playing tennis? Why didn't you just stop? I think he stopped after three hits.
Speaker 7 I did stop after three hours.
Speaker 1 So you stopped your senior year?
Speaker 7 I'm not going to be a senior on JV.
Speaker 1 That would have been a good time.
Speaker 1 That would be embarrassing. You were captain of the JV team your freshman year?
Speaker 7 I don't know. I might have made up the captain thing entirely, if we're being honest.
Speaker 7 I make up a lot of shit whenever I get put in front of the camera. I don't know how to speak.
Speaker 1 Oh, my gosh. That's so good.
