Division Clinching Doinks, Eagles Passing Frustrations and Worst First Dates | Ep 114

Speaker 1 You gotta have a loose caboose, man. You can't let that you gotta keep your composure.
Can't pucker up.

Speaker 1 Well, listen, I don't play anymore, so now I just sit there and my butthole puckers because I have zero control.

Speaker 1 If I have control, I'd have a loose butthole, but because I don't have control, my butthole gets tight.

Speaker 1 Welcome back to New Heights, ladies and gentlemen, boys, and girls. A wondry show produced by Wave Sports and Entertainment and brought to you by Google TV.

Speaker 1 No more endless browsing. Google TV makes it easy to find what you watch.
How about that, man? Google TV. Did you have those old Google glasses when they first came? I did.

Speaker 1 I actually think I saw Google

Speaker 1 swing contests and those things. I did a long time ago.
That's pretty sweet, man. Google's got it figured out for you guys, man.
We're your hosts.

Speaker 1 I'm Travis Kelsey, my big brother, Jason Kelsey, out of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, Cincinnati Bearcat alumni.

Ooh.

Speaker 1 And we're also going to check out some of your voicemails now that Brandon actually has listened to them. Nice.
Thank you, Brandon, for

Speaker 1 being on top of those Heights hotline voicemails. Yeah.
Way to go, intern Brandon.

Speaker 1 By the way, Kylie let out, Kylie let the cat out of the bag that intern Brandon is actually the executive producer, Brandon, and that he's not actually an intern, which. That's fucked up, Kylie.

Speaker 1 The fuck. That's not nice.
I'm going to start telling everybody. I'm going to start telling everybody about her show.
Get your own show, and then all of a sudden you're letting out our secrets.

Speaker 1 And how she

Speaker 1 watch Yellowstone season finale this Sunday, 8-7 Central, followed by 1923 season one only on Paramount Network. Film Club poll results.
Hey,

Speaker 1 we're watching Christmas Vacation, ladies and gentlemen. It's Chevy Chase.
Twist my arm. Twist my arm.

Speaker 1 That's a double feature review of Love Actually and Christmas Vacation.

Speaker 1 How do we feel about this? Is this right? Did we fucking did we did

Speaker 1 ourselves into this? I think I handcuffed it. I think Kylie handcuffed us into this.

Speaker 1 So she's calling out our interns and she's...

Speaker 1 She's making us watch more than one video.

Speaker 1 This is war, Kylie. Yeah.
I don't know what we're going to do to get her back, but I guess we just got to get her on new heights. Well, she's going to come on and do Love Actually review.
Nice.

Speaker 1 So we'll see how that goes. Yeah, that'll be fun.
And then we're going to do Christmas Vacation, Chevy Chase and what the 92%ers wanted to listen to. So yeah, it should be fun.

Speaker 1 Is Kylie going to be a part of the Christmas vacation review too? I think we're both about to be a part of both. Yeah.
Intern Brandon said, sure. So I guess, yeah.

Speaker 1 Sweet. This is probably also going to be our Christmas episode for all of you listening.
I don't know what that means. I just know that we're probably thinking of some cool things.

Speaker 1 Maybe we'll decorate. Put some Christmas lights up in there.
You used to have the green and reds back there. Any place that has Christmas lights year-round is

Speaker 1 my kind of jam. It's your kind of jam.
So anyways, the Christmas episode is going to come out. It's going to come out on Christmas, Brandon?

Speaker 1 What the fuck does this around mean? Okay, Christmas episode is going to come out Christmas Eve. That's going to have Kylie on it.

Speaker 1 We're going to review both of these movies as well as talk about other things Christmas related.

Speaker 1 Travis has... What, three games in 10 days? Is that what's going on? I think that's the number.
Yeah. It's crazy.
So Travis is going to be pretty busy. It's going to be a weird schedule.

Speaker 1 So we're going to record this and put it out Christmas Eve, I think, is what Brandon just said.

Speaker 1 So if it's not that, blame him. Anyways, look forward to that episode and these film reviews

Speaker 1 coming then. Yeah, should be fun.
Gonna be a blast. Ooh, the Grinch came in second, man.

Speaker 1 I know. It's a great one.
I mean, the good thing about all these movies, I'm going to watch all four of these anyways. It's a wonderful life? I don't think

Speaker 1 I would have watched that one. So I'll say this.
Have you, we never watched this growing up. Have you ever watched A Wonderful Life? It's a Wonderful Life.
No. I highly recommend.

Speaker 1 I'm telling you, go give it a chance. It's a good movie.
It's black and white. So it's got some years on it, but it's a nice film.
I really enjoy it.

Speaker 1 I watched it for the first time a couple of years ago because everybody's always putting it up there with one of their favorite Christmas movies. Everybody?

Speaker 1 I mean, it got 13. It got more than Scrooged.
Like,

Speaker 1 it got a good amount of votes. It's definitely one from a different generation,

Speaker 1 but it's very good. It holds up.
It holds up. All right.
All right. I'll think about it.
I'll think about it. Laura, I might just watch Christmas Vacation.
There you go.

Speaker 1 Well, Jason, we were spotted in Vancouver for the last stop on the Aris tour. Vancouver? I wasn't in Vancouver.
Yeah, you were. Look at that belly and that beard, dude.
Oh, what the fuck?

Speaker 1 I'm not fat. I'm not.
That's not what I look like. That's what, that's what I look like right now.

Speaker 1 That is so good. There was a mention of tight Jumanji pants.
How about that?

Speaker 1 So good. Oh, my goodness.
How about it?

Speaker 1 I wonder if Tay saw them in the stands.

Speaker 1 You can't keep it together if you see that. Like, there's no way you're in the middle of a song and you see them walking around and you're just like.

Speaker 1 I mean, I would lose it. What is...

Speaker 1 I love that the one lady went mustache era, Travis Kelsey. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, it's very nicely done. There was a lot of effort put in.
It's DYI for sure. DIY.
Sorry. DIY? There it is.

Speaker 1 Do it yourself. Yeah, they probably had a blast.
There was also this Andy Reed deal going on in the big red era. Ooh, nice.

Well, shout out to Tay. And

Speaker 1 the unbelievable Aeros tour has finally come to an end.

Speaker 1 So, how, hold on. How long was the Aeros Tour? It was over two years? Almost two years.
Almost two years.

Speaker 1 March of the year that we played. How many shows do you know off the top of your head?

Speaker 1 149 or 152. I forget which one it was.
Somewhere in there. A few shows.
So

Speaker 1 is kind of how I sum it up. 149 shows in 21 countries.
Wow. It's insane.
Absolutely insane. Over 10 million people in the stands over the course of it, like accumulatively.
It's pretty crazy. Well,

Speaker 1 shout out to Tay. Shout out to everybody that was a part of that show.
Obviously,

Speaker 1 it's her music, her tour, and everything, but that was a full production, man. That thing.
Yeah, fair enough.

Speaker 1 It was the best tour in the world because of a lot of people, and mostly because of Taylor.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Shout out to everybody, buddy. All righty, Walter Payton Man of the Year.

Speaker 1 I don't know if all of you saw, but my brother, Travis Kelsey, Kansas City Chief, is nominated for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year from Chiefs owner Clark Hunt.

Speaker 1 Through his new Ignition Lab, the growing 87 and Running Foundation, and his partnership with Operation Breakthrough, Travis has impacted the lives of thousands of young people in the Kansas City region and beyond.

Speaker 1 Very few athletes in the history of the game

Speaker 1 have balanced the same level of team success, individual accolades, and community engagement. Trav, how does it feel to be nominated? This is awesome.
This is a huge award. It is.
It is a huge award.

Speaker 1 I, you know, I love getting out here in the Kansas City community, man. I really do.
They show up for each other so much and they do it with so much pride. And,

Speaker 1 you know, that's the beauty of having that relationship with the community is always to

Speaker 1 try and make a better world for the ones that support you on game day, man, or just or need that help and that support

Speaker 1 in the community. And I've just been so lucky that I came here to Kansas City and got the opportunity from the Hunt family.

Speaker 1 And I realized real early on that they were an organization and how they ran this organization was that they wanted everyone in the community, making sure the people in Kansas City felt the support that we feel on Sundays.

Speaker 1 And the one thing that you see when you first walk in that building is all of the winners and all the winners of the man of the year in terms of you know

Speaker 1 how much like history Kansas City players have in this community and

Speaker 1 everybody getting acknowledged for that and I don't do it for the awards I don't do it for the acknowledgement I do it for the smiles on the kids faces at the ignition lab and at operation breakthrough and and to see what they do with uh what we give them at their exposure you're not lying you know and it's just it's so it's so cool to see what they have done with with what they have to, to work with over there.

Speaker 1 And this year will be the first year that we actually had the high school kids.

Speaker 1 Long story short, Operation Breakthrough is a beautiful organization in Kansas City that helps out a lot of the underserved kids, especially on the east side.

Speaker 1 And yeah, the program when I first got to Kansas City stopped in eighth grade.

Speaker 1 And I really wanted to keep that going through the high school years because I know how much of a knucklehead I was and not having anywhere to go or a safe haven or just somewhere to

Speaker 1 perfect my craft after school, I don't know where the heck I would have been. So I really wanted to extend that for Operation Breakthrough.

Speaker 1 And that's when we created the Ignition Lab, 87 Running Ignition Lab, which is a STEM lab. It has everything from a mechanic shop, a muffler,

Speaker 1 a robotics lab, an entertainment studio,

Speaker 1 e-gaming. It has everything you could possibly need.
A kitchen for kids that want to get into the culinary world. It's remarkable, honestly.
Yeah. It's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 And I couldn't have done it without the support from KC and the support from everybody working at Operation Breakthrough.

Speaker 1 And sure enough, we couldn't have done this without the kids that actually want to make a difference with their lives. And that's the beauty of it.
And that's why I do it, man.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, I think it's awesome. And, you know,

Speaker 1 they convert some of your vehicles to electric. They're converting my truck to electric, but one of the things we got to see was that fully electric Chevelle that they're wrapping up.

Speaker 1 They're going to the game this Sunday. That's what, yeah.
How'd that feel? Dude, it rolls. It's pretty gnarly.
It's cool as shit. It is cool.

Speaker 1 A big guy like me, it's tough for me to get in those old cars if you don't put pull the seats back. But man, it is

Speaker 1 that thing is sweet, man. I'll tell you, those old school cars are just so freaking cool, man.
I think I got a 71 Chevelle that some people have may have seen me drive before.

Speaker 1 But this thing was one of a kind. When you get in there,

Speaker 1 you can feel how unique it is.

Speaker 1 Everything's kind of on that digital pad that they have. It's like a little iPad or

Speaker 1 just like a touchscreen that you can put it in drive and reverse and neutral and everything. And then from there, it has some pickup.
It has some pickup, man.

Speaker 1 It's got those electric EV batteries in there. And the kids did an unbelievable job.
And I think it was a smooth ride into the stadium the other day. It definitely doesn't have the rumble.

Speaker 1 And there's something that, like, obviously the old school gear heads, you know, they're going to want.

Speaker 1 But I think there's something really cool that Operation Breakthrough is doing where they're taking these older vehicles.

Speaker 1 They're teaching these kids some of the things that the automotive industry is going into and teaching them skills that not everybody really knows what's happening, especially in the EV world. So,

Speaker 1 it's really cool. Um, and on top of that, it's just-I mean, it's just beautiful.
They did a great job with it, it's gorgeous in there.

Speaker 1 They have all the electric stuff, but they also have the old school knobs and whatnot, and

Speaker 1 very true to like kind of the way it used to be. So, yeah, the seats, yeah, yeah,

Speaker 1 this is the this is the first year that, um, that the kids who started in the initial ignition lab year, so they're going to be seniors going into college. Yeah, they're all graduating.
So

Speaker 1 it's a pretty cool to see kids start as freshmens and really latch on to things and now even

Speaker 1 go into college,

Speaker 1 get an opportunity to be

Speaker 1 an architecture major and things like that in college. And it's just so cool, man.

Speaker 1 That's why you do it. Well,

Speaker 1 that's why you do it, Travis.

Speaker 1 That's why you do it. And you can vote for Travis in the Man of the Year Year fan vote using Walter Payton Man of the Year Challenge.
That's hashtag WPMOYCHALENGE plus at T Kelsey on Twitter.

Speaker 1 Congrats, Trav. That's awesome.
I love you, Big. I appreciate it, man.
And shout out to Ignition Lab and Operation Breakthrough for

Speaker 1 just being the awesome

Speaker 1 opportunity for these kids that they are, man. Well, I drove in a 69 Chevelle.
Jason, you wrecked a helmet.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Driving around in a little coffee.

Speaker 1 It's okay.

Speaker 1 it did it made it out all right it passed the concussion test oh yeah look at this dude look at that cruising you're hilarious cruising baby you're literally the philadelphia literally stopped traffic to do these shoots which i'm just like i'm like this is

Speaker 1 it's gonna be a fun bit it's a fun bit it's good i love it man have you seen this golf cart before Yeah, so the Eagles have this one. They also have a throwback one, like a Kelly Green version of it.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 They kind of live in the stadium, and we thought it'd be funny. So we're going to use this footage, not this one, but we're going to use this footage in conjunction with the late night show.

Speaker 1 Gosh, I just took that one swerve a little bit too hard, and I couldn't, of course, correct. Oh, no.

Speaker 1 Dude,

Speaker 1 that

Speaker 1 can get dicey. No, for sure.
Yeah. I mean, I stuck my arm out.
It could have gone real bad. It could have gone horrendously bad.

Speaker 1 I've actually seen this go real bad, like broken hand back on a golf course. You were on pavement.
It's pavement. So, I mean, it's nice and soft.

Speaker 1 You know, golf courses are pretty hard with all that grass.

Speaker 1 Oh, thank God you came out unscathed, man. I got those wheels up and I was like, oh, dear, here it goes.
I can feel it coming. Big man.
But luckily, I had my helmet on and came out unscathed.

Speaker 1 Came out unscathed. Nice.
Dad always told us to wear helmets. He did.

Speaker 1 Whenever you're riding your bike, your scooter, you're going to have a helmet on. Rollerblade.

Speaker 1 That's right. Put a helmet on.

Speaker 1 Those helmets helmets with the wings on them have been protecting me for a while.

Speaker 1 So good.

Speaker 1 Fly Eagles Fly, baby. Well, we're all glad you're okay.

Speaker 1 Parents, are you about to spend five hours in the car with your beloved kids this holiday season, driving to old granny's house?

Speaker 1 I'm setting the scene, I'm picturing screaming, fighting, back-to-back hours of the K-pop Demon Hunter soundtrack on repeat.

Speaker 1 Well, when your ears start to bleed, I have the perfect thing to keep you from rolling out of that moving vehicle. Something for the whole family.
He's filled with laughs. He's filled with rage.

Speaker 1 The OG Green Grunt, give it up for me, James Austin Johnson, as the Grinch.

Speaker 1 And like any insufferable influencer these days, I'm bringing my crew of lesser talented friends along for the ride with A-list guests like Gronk, Mark Hamill, and the Jonas Brothers, whoever they are.

Speaker 1 There's a little bit of something for everyone. Listen to Tis the Grinch Holiday Podcast, wherever you get your podcasts.

Speaker 1 All righty, let's move on to some bold topics to wrap up week 14 of the NFL. Hey.
Bold topics is brought to you by Amazon Prime. Prime is your ticket to Holiday Magic.

Speaker 1 All righty, starting with, of course, the Chiefs. That's right.
Chiefs, 19. Chargers, 17.

Speaker 1 Man, come on. What's going on? Speak to me, Trav.
Some good old-fashioned AFC West Division football, baby. Well, you ain't lying.

Speaker 1 I think the Chargers are a fucking hell of a goddamn football team. Yeah, Harbaugh's got a lot of guys playing their tail off, playing with a lot of heart.
Chiefs with another one-score win.

Speaker 1 Another one that came down to a field goal. Yeah, let's get right into the doink.

Speaker 1 So,

Speaker 1 new kicker, Matthew Wright from lancaster pa lancaster pa he's a pa guy yeah he's right

Speaker 1 in birds country you know what i

Speaker 1 i don't think so but he kind of has well it's pretty easy to tell he looks like maybe one of them that you know just walked out of the barn and said i'm good double doink well not double doink doink in double doink you're gonna go there matt and aggies you're gonna go there you fucking that was a low blow man it's like cody parkey

Speaker 1 all right let's get to the last last drive. Pat starts wheeling and dealing.
This is the worthy throw

Speaker 1 dancing around. Big third down conversion on the third and 10.

Speaker 1 Oh, we're going to go into this. Look at this.
We're going to talk about some protections. Good job.
Oh, man. P.
Right. Samaje came.
Listen, we just talked about Derwin. Derwin.

Speaker 1 Derwin's not fucking around, man. When he blitzes, he's...

Speaker 1 taking the back straight on the speed.

Speaker 1 He's done that to guys all year. And not that he got put on his tail, but I mean,

Speaker 1 that was a foot. Oh, this is a.
I respect the hell out of this. This is football right here.
Yeah. Peter, I'm freaking, look at that.
Throwing their bodies in there. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Pat steps to the left, drifts, gets worthy for the first down. I mean, that was the biggest play of the game potentially right there.
Next to this one.

Speaker 1 There we go. We get a little boot action.
Trav, it's been well recorded that you're supposed to keep running that corner route. You decide to sit.
Well run a corner.

Speaker 1 Huh?

Speaker 1 Supposed to run a corner. Travis, everybody said you were supposed to to run a corner.
Who's everybody? Everybody that was a can. I think Pat said it.
I'm pretty sure Pat's.

Speaker 1 Fuck. No, but seriously, obviously, you know.
What makes you sit right here? I mean, corner over top. You know, the corner's not going to be open.
I mean, that corner.

Speaker 1 The corner is actually playing the flat. This is cover two.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 there's, you got to think of like the voids in cover two. Like the voids are sidelines and yeah, the whole shot in between the safety and the corner.

Speaker 1 The whole shot in between the safety down the sideline. I felt like I couldn't beat that safety there.
But he had the leverage on you outside. The angle wasn't a sure catch.

Speaker 1 So I started to just kind of turn my shoulders, square it up to Pat and

Speaker 1 just kind of felt that void. I knew where the hooked or curl defender was.

Speaker 1 then like chased Pat because Pat looked like he was about to run. Yep.
And I was just like, let me just kind of fill that void.

Speaker 1 Pat made an unbelievable play to

Speaker 1 keep it alive, making that first guy miss. And then, sure enough, man, 1-5 is always going to find the open guy, man.
Trav catches it kneeling. Doesn't even try to get up.
Knows he's got the game one.

Speaker 1 Just ball security. Don't do any.
Don't drop the baby. Just hold on to that thing.
I knew the hit was coming, too. I was like, the safety's right behind me.

Speaker 1 Where's it at? Where's it at? Yep. You know, somebody's coming.
And yeah, that sets up the game-winning field goal attempt, which, you know, pretty close one.

Speaker 1 They're all hard, though, when the game's on the line. And pulled a little Tim Duncan action.
Goes off the left, upright, and in. Banks open on Sundays, baby.
There we go, baby.

Speaker 1 Yeah, what does this feel like? I'm a big fan of just scoring touchdowns, man, and forcing the other team to have to score touchdowns.

Speaker 1 But I understand not even giving them a chance. And that's a very high percentage field goal right there.
I think we're sitting at like 20 yards, 30 yards, or something like that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It is what it is.

Speaker 1 I'm always here for what the team's decision is. That's why I didn't even think about getting up.

Speaker 1 I knew the situation we were in and what we were going to want to do once we got the first down was to kick a field goal and run the clock out. Yep.

Speaker 1 So if that's what that's what the game plan is, baby, I'm all in. Yeah.
Well, we did find out that Andy is not a game-winning field goal watcher. We have a clip of this.
Oh, he's

Speaker 1 a little superstitious or just doesn't want to watch. Yeah.
The crowd will tell him. Look at this.
Wow.

Speaker 1 Yeah, baby. Yeah, baby.
Oh, man. You're my guy, Pacheco back out there rolling downhill, man.
Him and Big Red having a fucking good time after this one. Division game, man.
Division on the line.

Speaker 1 Won the division for the, what, whatever year

Speaker 1 against

Speaker 1 a really fucking good Chargers team. You can't tell me that Justin Herbert is one of the best fucking quarterbacks in the National Football League, man.
Dude, he's balling this year.

Speaker 1 He's had some games. He can sling that pill.
I mean, he's balling every year. It feels like with Harbaugh getting there, it feels like some of that swagger's back with that team.
You know, the leaders

Speaker 1 on that team, team, the coaches coming in,

Speaker 1 Coach Minner,

Speaker 1 Coach Elston, our guys, our guys. Elston's there, too.
Rick Minner's there. Rick was with me in Philadelphia.
Was he?

Speaker 1 Jesse's dad. Yeah.
Nice. I didn't know that.

Speaker 1 He's a fellow Bearcat

Speaker 1 coach as well. Yep.
But yeah.

Speaker 1 They got that thing figured out right now. They're playing really, really good football, man, and they've

Speaker 1 played us pretty goddamn tough. Both times we got them.
Absolutely. Definitely.
Pat had some post-game quotes.

Speaker 1 i truly believe we are close closer than we were last year at this point i would agree with that i think that's a very good statement by pat i think at this point last year it was you guys had just lost to us and it was looking kind of down for the chiefs and you guys got it going i kind of think it is looking better i think offensively at this point last year it was we didn't even know that it was going to get worse we

Speaker 1 you know it's it it went all the way through christmas and we were lucky we had two games after Christmas to be able to figure it out, but it was a different situation.

Speaker 1 I just think you guys have a good roster.

Speaker 1 I think that I'll be honest, and we've talked about it a little bit. I think the protections have been a thing that have thrown off the offense a little bit.

Speaker 1 I thought the protections were a lot better yesterday. Humphreys looked good.
I don't know what his hamstring looks like, but he did a good job at left tackle

Speaker 1 this last game. He's came in the building and been a fucking all-star professional, man.

Speaker 1 He's just been just a high-energy energy guy loves what he does comes in shows how much he loves this game and how much he appreciates being in the being in the uh in the situation to play football i just love the guy for for that mentality and his uh his hard work man um it's it sucks that the first game he gets in man he gets the hamstring he'll be back he'll be back regardless even if he's back this week or whenever i think that's going to help out a lot of things because it felt like that's been something that's thrown off the timing and rhythm a little bit and that'll it'll help pat out it'll help everything out i do want to say this though pat is nearly unstoppable it is so crazy watching him in two minute situations before the half you guys go and get a touchdown end the game when you need to get a drive together he somehow finds a way to convert and move the ball down so that you guys are in field goal range why are you guys just not always a two-point just run two-point offense like what are we even doing running the rest of the offense just let pat go do two minutes like i don't even know why we're wasting time the little up tempo it does you know what uptempo just be two minute not even you can even huddle just huddle just go do two minute just tell pat before every drive.

Speaker 1 Pat, hey, we got two minutes left.

Speaker 1 We just started the game. All that sounds good.
All that sounds good until, you know, the thing is, is when you go two minute, it's typically a little bit more basic plays, right?

Speaker 1 It's kind of like set plays. The defense is running very simple defenses, and it kind of simplifies everything from what you're seeing.
For sure. I can find voids easier.

Speaker 1 I can, you know, I see what the defense is in before the snap because they can't dick dick around at the line of scrimmage or give us a crazy look at the line of scrimmage while we're in two-minute.

Speaker 1 Right. Yeah.
So it's just, it definitely makes the game easier, but at the same time, you can't do that shit all game. That shit will get fucking stopped in a heartbeat if you do that shit all game.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I haven't seen anybody stop paying yet.
It might be worth trying. I'm just saying.

Speaker 1 Just let that go out there being point guard. You ain't lying, man.
Patty Mahomes, baby. The Big Yeti got another milestone.

Speaker 1 Travis Kelsey became the fastest tight end in NFL history, 172 games to reach 12,000 career receiving yards. Previous record was held by none other than Tony Gonzalez in 210 games.

Speaker 1 LeBron statored real stat out there. Damn.
I think that's pretty real stuff. 210 games? Well,

Speaker 1 he played more than that. It took him 210 games to get the 12,000

Speaker 1 career receiving yards. He ended with 15,000.

Speaker 1 So he played a lot of games. Tony played a lot of games.

Speaker 1 That's almost 40 more games. I don't know if I played

Speaker 1 more. Well, I mean, listen, that's a lot more games.

Speaker 1 Fuck. Again, Tony played more than 210.
Tony played, I mean, he got 15,000. Yeah, that was, yeah, that's insane.
Tony's longevity is insane. How did he fucking do it? God damn.

Speaker 1 I remember he had like some type of protein that I used to take. Maybe that was it.
He was into spearfishing. Maybe he was harnessing the power of the sun.
I think he was. There you go.

Speaker 1 One with the call. So many games.
That's

Speaker 1 crazy.

Speaker 1 How many did he play altogether? Can we get that? Throw it up. It says right here.
He played 270 regular season games.

Speaker 1 He played a whole hundred more than what I'm at right now. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's outrageous.

Speaker 1 Oh my gosh. No fucking chance.
Yeah, it's built different.

Speaker 1 I mean, that's so impressive. Dude,

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure he got into the league before he was 21, and then on top of that, he played until he was

Speaker 1 36, 37. Oh, he played longer than 36, 37.

Speaker 1 I don't know, man. Pretty sure he played like 17 years, yeah.
Insane is what he did.

Speaker 1 He's 48 now.

Speaker 1 Why? Why did we need to know that? We're trying to do some math. When did he retire?

Speaker 1 You could just. He retired with the Falcons

Speaker 1 when?

Speaker 1 Right before.

Speaker 1 You're probably right. About 38 years old, right? 37, 38.
Yeah. 2013, 11 years.
Yeah, you're a thousand percent right. All right.
I'll stop talking. Um,

Speaker 1 either way, unbelievably impressive. Chiefs have now won the AFC West for nine straight seasons.

Speaker 1 Before we move on, I, it's so funny being on this list, on these lists with Tony because it, every single time, I, it puts in perspective what he actually did when he was in the National Football League.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And it's fucking, it'll never be touched.
It's a much different league, too. There's no way.
There's no way. It's like,

Speaker 1 it's so fucking mind-blowing that he did that. And back when football was football.

Speaker 1 I mean, he did it. You could literally get your head taken off.
He played that long in a league where there was two a days during training camp.

Speaker 1 The, you know, the hitting, they would take your head off as a safety. I remember that Dawkins' clip on Algi Crumpler.
Dude, what? That was legal.

Speaker 1 Crackbacks. You better beat that.
That is check. You can do that.
They used to actually teach you head on a swivel. I don't even think they teach head on a swift.

Speaker 1 Because it doesn't matter. You don't even need to have a head on a swivel.
There's no repercussions. Nope.
If you get that's a just run around aimlessly.

Speaker 1 It's a penalty and a fine and a hefty fine at that.

Speaker 1 Back when they were just an astro turf, which is just a carpet rolled over fucking cement. Do you remember playing on Lakewood High School? Yeah.
That had the Astro. That was outrageous.
The worst.

Speaker 1 These guys played whole NFL. They would tell everybody to bring gym shoes instead of fleets.
Yeah. Like, dude, yeah, you have to bring basketball shoes.

Speaker 1 No, have you ever run on your carpet in your living room? That's exactly what this is.

Speaker 1 Baseball diamonds. Everybody had a joint stadium with the baseball teams.
Dude, you're talking about the vet. Absolutely insane, man.
Football was crazy back in the day.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, it's still pretty crazy. You know what else is crazy? The Chiefs have won the AFC West nine straight seasons.
Yes, sir. Dude, this is outrageous.
I mean, talk about domination.

Speaker 1 Sorry to the rest of the AFC West, but but this is unbelievable. The last time Kansas City didn't win the division, Patrick Holmes was still playing college baseball.

Speaker 1 It's pretty funny. That's a great fucking stat.
That's a LeBron stat if I've ever heard. That's funny as hell.
Nice.

Speaker 1 We'll talk about perspective. Week 15, Travis is headed back to the 216.
That's right. They take on the Browns.
Yes, sir. And potentially the greatest sound bite.

Speaker 1 quarterback of all time, Jameis Winston. You excited for the homecoming? I am, man.
I am, man.

Speaker 1 You know, we're we're cleveland guys to the to heart and to to the core so it's yep i've i've played there once and i am so excited to be able to get back there it was uh it was a dream come true playing a freaking you've only played there once yeah man i've only been to i've only been back when it was first energy dude i went to that game somehow i was able to go to that game kareem hunt was his first year with the browns he had just been with the browns no no no he was with you guys still so that's what it was double comeback to clevel Kareem had three touchdowns and I had two.

Speaker 1 Got it. It was a

Speaker 1 good type of day. Yeah.
But yeah,

Speaker 1 it was a dream come true to score in the end zone and be right there in front of the dog pound. A little different catching some birds, some

Speaker 1 little fingers with some booze and some barks

Speaker 1 from the enemy side of perspective. But I still love Cleveland Fort, man.
And it's such an honor playing back in Cleveland. And

Speaker 1 uh it's gonna be a fun day man it's gonna be a fun day and hopefully uh we can go in there and get into a dog fight with the uh the dog pound and have some fun man well um interim brandon's gonna be in attendance does that add any additional pressure to this game

Speaker 1 no love brandon though thanks for coming man that's cool what is brand why are you gonna be in cleveland brandon why not why do you sound like why wouldn't you say it like that why are you why wouldn't that

Speaker 1 be a beautiful december

Speaker 1 are you kidding me let's flip that out. Do you see how fast I flipped that on you, Jason? Can we stop? I just judoed you.
Just fucking put you in a blender.

Speaker 1 Can we explain why we're actually going to be in Cleveland now? A friend of a friend has a connection to the Browns. I was like, do you just want to go to the Browns again? I was like, sure, fine.

Speaker 1 I'll do 36 hours in Cleveland. There you go.
Where are you staying? No, just neighborhood. Neighborhood.

Speaker 1 We're staying close to the stadium. We're staying close to the stadium.
So you're going to stay downtown? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Downtown. Yeah, yeah.
What should I do? What should I do? I have 36 hours. Dude, check out the Art Museum.
Ohio City. Ohio City.
Check out the Art Museum. Art Museum.

Speaker 1 A great natural history museum, actually. Really good.
Really good. Rock and Roll History Museum.
Yeah. Yeah.
The Science Museum is downtown. It's like

Speaker 1 the Rock and Roll Museum is phenomenal. There have been a lot of museums.
Okay. Big time museum.
Museum tour. Big museum.
Big museum, people. All right.
Yeah. I'll do a museum tour.

Speaker 1 I'll report back next week. Nice.
Ooh, this is a fun time of year because Great Lakes has come out with their Christmas ale.

Speaker 1 Make sure you go to a restaurant that is serving Great Lakes Christmas Ale. It's a very Ohio thing.
They put like this spice thing on the rim.

Speaker 1 You're going to enjoy it. It's very good.
Highly recommend. Go over there to Ohio.

Speaker 1 You actually just go to the brewery. They do it at the brewery.
Yeah. Just go to the brewery.

Speaker 1 Just go definitely be there. Just go to the source, get underneath the tab.
You'll be fine. It'll definitely be there.
But I'm a big fan of the Christmas ale.

Speaker 1 You can also always hit a town hall right next door. One of my my favorite spots in Cleveland.
Ooh, okay. Great Lakes Town Hall.
All right, I'll be there.

Speaker 1 I'll have a bunch of those, and I'm gonna go jump in the dog pound. Go check it out.
I would say there's so many places that

Speaker 1 Jason, just come. Just show up.
You show up everywhere. Just drive your little helmet car over and just show up.
I mean, I am.

Speaker 1 I was going to spend maybe some days with my kids this week, but you know what? Fuck it. I'll go.
They got so much time.

Speaker 1 You have so, like, you have so much time with that. Jesus.
Delivery on that line.

Speaker 1 Just show up. It'd be all right.

Speaker 1 all right like are you kidding me

Speaker 1 all right let's get to some eagles panthers man the birds are flying around man initial thoughts on the game jason well they got the nine straight it was uh not uh the cleanest game for the eagles but they found a way to win and i think that you know right now they're

Speaker 1 listen they've been playing so good and the like level has been so high of like everybody's excitement for this team. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I actually think it's really good that this game was close and they got brought back down to earth.

Speaker 1 The Panthers have been doing this to a lot of teams recently. Bryce Young is playing a lot better, made a hell of a lot of plays scrambling and making plays down the field.
Oh, I know.

Speaker 1 They've been playing teams close, including, you know, one of the teams in the FC West.

Speaker 1 So I think this is all in all, obviously happy the Eagles got a win, and I think that they'll get out of this game. And they got nine straight.
You know, I mean, it's hard to win football games.

Speaker 1 Right now, they're sitting at 11 and two, so it was a lot of fun. It's also fun to actually go to a game.
I haven't been to a game really that many this year. Oh, nice.
You went to it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we went to it. We took the kids.

Speaker 1 What? I know, dude. It was awesome.
It was awesome.

Speaker 1 How were the girls at the games? They enjoy them. They were great.

Speaker 1 They didn't give one crap about the football game, but they had a blast eating a bunch of food and popcorn and running around all over the place like crazy lunatics. So, yeah, it was really cool.

Speaker 1 What is this text? Yeah, we were on on a group chat text me jake and brandon yeah this is on the uh leguette uh

Speaker 1 looked like he caught it and rolled into the end zone uh on their last you know drive yeah and uh yeah

Speaker 1 i think everybody in the stadium before you saw the replay thought it was a touchdown because he came up with it pretty clean

Speaker 1 and um jake said uh this holy shit that was close you replied with uh butthole puckered up a bit huh yeah you got to have a loose caboose man you can't let that you got to keep your composure You can't

Speaker 1 pucker up. Listen, I don't play anymore.
So now I just sit there and my butthole puckers because I have zero control.

Speaker 1 If I have control, I'd have a loose butthole, but because I don't have control, my butthole gets tight.

Speaker 1 That's the way it works. Well played.
Biggest story coming out of the Eagles game are unfortunately comments from A.J. Brown.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 When asked about the issues facing the offense, he simply said passing. He thinks passing is

Speaker 1 the issue.

Speaker 1 Also admitted that it's incredibly tough for the receivers to get into a rhythm when the offense is only passing the ball 20 times a game. Succinct.

Speaker 1 Well, AJ, I don't know if you know this, but Saquon Barkley is arguably the MVP in the NFL.

Speaker 1 Handing him the ball a lot is kind of like a really good thing. It is.
Yeah. No, it works out.
I understand you're really good too. And getting you the ball a lot is a really good thing.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, personally, I just think, you know, know, listen, he's frustrated after a game, right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 They barely beat a team that they know they should have performed better.

Speaker 1 There's been a lot of stuff made about this comment from AJ, a lot of stuff made about Jalen's comment about like offense and like synchronization and whatnot.

Speaker 1 And ultimately, I just think it's two guys that are frustrated after a game in which they didn't meet the standard that they hold for themselves, and they know the offense doesn't meet the standard that it holds for itself.

Speaker 1 And unfortunately, we live in a day and age, and we both know this very well, where things that you say,

Speaker 1 you know, I don't know how long AJ sat there and talked to reporters, but it's probably like 10 minutes, I bet. And this is the only thing that really trends, right?

Speaker 1 All the other stuff that gets said doesn't. Yeah.
The reality is when you're frustrated after a game, sometimes

Speaker 1 you're answering things in a heated moment.

Speaker 1 I know I've been there. I know everybody I've damn near played with has been there.

Speaker 1 And, you know, this is what happens when you have highly competitive individuals that know that they can be contributing more or know that the offense can be better than it is or that the team can be better than it is.

Speaker 1 There's also BG had some comments.

Speaker 1 I know A.J. Brown is a tremendous teammate and a guy that I loved being on the same team with.
He's a guy that's highly competitive and wants to win and have an impact on the game.

Speaker 1 And I think that that's what you want in a star receiver. or player in general of that caliber.

Speaker 1 I know Jalen Hurts operates in a very similar fashion. They've also played a lot of ball together.
They played a lot of ball in the NFL. Nick Siriani is a great coach.

Speaker 1 Kellem Moore has done a phenomenal job with the offense. These are things that happen.

Speaker 1 There was, you know, there was somebody saying, like, I think one of Jalen's comments was, like, should you be still figuring this out week 13 in the NFL? And he said no.

Speaker 1 And I understand why he said that because, like, you know, you're, you're, you're almost. to the playoffs.
We should be getting have everything dialed in.

Speaker 1 But the reality is you're always figuring this out. This is the way the league works.
Like you're even no matter where you're at, you're constantly trying to iron things out, make things better.

Speaker 1 That's the only way you become one of the best teams in the NFL. That's the only way.
It's by continually going through that process.

Speaker 1 Like you just said, this team has an identity right now, and that identity has been running the ball with Saquon Barkley and exposing the secondary when they commit to stopping that run.

Speaker 1 And they have all of those pieces able to do that. I understand that balance is going to help.
That's just the reality. I think as an offense, you want to have balance.

Speaker 1 But I really like where the identity has been. For the most part, it's been really good and has led to them beating.

Speaker 1 I mean, they just beat the Ravens, right? One of the best teams in the NFL in Baltimore. I know they're frustrated with this game, but let's not lose sight.
The defense is playing lights out.

Speaker 1 We're one of the best teams in the NFC, and all of these guys are.

Speaker 1 Really, really good. I tend to think that these comments and all this media stuff is only going to bring these guys closer together.
That's where I look at it.

Speaker 1 When stuff like this happens, I think that these guys are going to be galvanized because they realize how good they are.

Speaker 1 Kellen Moore and all these guys are going to keep growing this offense to be the best dialed-in machine it can be by the postseason. And, you know,

Speaker 1 I'm very excited for where all this stuff is headed. Unbelievable talent

Speaker 1 on that football team, especially on the offensive side. Only one football, Bub.

Speaker 1 You only got one ball to get a get it around, and whether you're running it, you're throwing it, it's uh, it's going to one guy, unless you're lateral, then it goes to two guys. Yeah, well,

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 1 that's what, and that's why I lateral because I'm just trying to spread the ball. You got to spread the love, man.
You got to spread the love, man. We got to get Saquon lateral into AJ.

Speaker 1 Get this thing going. Get this thing going, Siri, honey.
Let's go, baby. Anyways, my man Grant Calcaterra caught his first touchdown pass in the NFL this week.

Speaker 1 Dude, so not only was his video of his family going nuts, it kind of went viral. Here we go.
Check him out. Check him out.

Speaker 1 Nice.

Speaker 1 Nice.

Speaker 1 Well, it looks just like him, so that would add up. I was about to say, yeah.

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 1 Were they watching this again

Speaker 1 in the bar after the game? I thought that was him. Not only were these guys going nuts on the video, but I went down on the field afterwards and saw he had a bunch of family that was there.

Speaker 1 His dad was there. His mom was there.
Nice. And everybody was fired up about Grant getting his first touchdown pass.

Speaker 1 This is one of the guys, too, that the whole team gets fired up about when they get their first touchdown.

Speaker 1 Dallas Goddard's out. Grant's actually had a number of big seam catches.
He's having a really good year for the Eagles,

Speaker 1 especially as a pass catcher.

Speaker 1 And he's been a guy that's always gone in there and done the dirty work over the last couple years, doing slice blocks, running counters, like doing all the stuff that no other tight end wants to do.

Speaker 1 And whenever a guy like that gets rewarded and all of a sudden is catching a touchdown pass, I think that that's something that everybody gets fired up about. Fires you up, baby.
Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 Including his football family, not just his regular family. So congrats, Grant.
Yeah, it was awesome. Hopefully the first of many for you, brother.
Yeah, baby.

Speaker 1 Yeah, next week the Eagles are hosting Mr. Unlimited

Speaker 1 Russell Wilson and the Steelers.

Speaker 1 Probably worth noting that the last time the Eagles played the Steelers, A.J. Brown had six catches for 156 yards and scored three touchdowns.
So, yeah, maybe it's time to go back to throw.

Speaker 1 Maybe we should pass the ball.

Speaker 1 Maybe it's time to go back to throwing that thing. That's what AJ.
He just knew we were playing the Steelers next week. So he's like, all right, I'm going to put this out there.

Speaker 1 Set this shit up right now. I'm going to put this out there right now.
We need to work on passing. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I like that.
We did a voicemail question about the Steelers that we are going to answer. Are we doing that now? Or is this happening in voice? We're doing it now.
Okay.

Speaker 2 Hey, fellas, this is Patrick from Pittsburgh. Longtime listener, first time caller.
Two quick questions. First one's more so for Travis.

Speaker 2 Travis, as the greatest tight end to ever play the game, what is your honest opinion of Pat Fryermuth?

Speaker 1 Second.

Speaker 2 What is it like to be standing on the field at Ackershore Stadium in the fourth quarter whenever they play Renegade?

Speaker 1 Talk to you guys later. Bye.
Dude. There we go.
So first of all, it's Heinz Field. I'll never not call it Heinz Field.
I'm not

Speaker 1 dealing with this nonsense. You only get one stadium name when it first comes out.
I'm sticking to it. I'm over the corporate name and renaming.
It's over. It's Heinz Field.
You don't give a fuck.

Speaker 1 Just like I don't care who pays for Jacobs Field's name. It's Jacobs Field.
I don't give a fuck what you call that. That's progressive.
No, it's not. It's Jacobs Field.

Speaker 1 That's where, dude, that's where Arrowhead gets it right. Because it's always, it's Jiha at Arrowhead.
So Arrowhead always remains the same name. I can't deal with this like

Speaker 1 I'm not, whatever, Jiha, Giha. I'm not doing,

Speaker 1 I'm not doing it. I'm not, I'm not reading, like, you can't.

Speaker 1 Heinz Field is a fucking

Speaker 1 special. They had the tomato ketchup bottle going down.
Like, what are we talking about? Yeah. So good.
It is such a special place to play, man.

Speaker 1 And I'm pumped I get to play on Christmas out there, man. So anyways, listen, as my professional,

Speaker 1 you know, 13-year career

Speaker 1 and nothing to do with tight end play, I think Pat Friar Muth is a hell of a tight end. I think he's doing a tremendous job.
Nice.

Speaker 1 He has to be that quick.

Speaker 1 He needs to work on his footwork a little bit.

Speaker 1 A little clumsy-footed.

Speaker 1 He is not clumsy-footed. Sometimes...
Sometimes. Why are you taking when I watch him? Sometimes when I watch him play, he looks like a friar south.
He looks like a friar south, not a friar muth.

Speaker 1 I don't even know where the fuck I'm going with this. All right, you take it.
Go ahead, Drew. I see.
You're trying to have some fun with it, though.

Speaker 1 No, Pat is actually, he's one of my favorite tight ends to watch, man. He's savvy in his route running.

Speaker 1 He's very

Speaker 1 quarterback-friendly, which he knows angles coming out to where he knows he can get a guaranteed catch. And quarterbacks fucking love it when you come out your breaks with certain angles,

Speaker 1 depending on where the defender closest to you is.

Speaker 1 You come out at an angle specific to the leverage of the defender, not just running the route that's on the paper exactly and uh and he does a great job of uh feeling voids like that and feeling how how he needs to get in and out of breaks and then on top of that he's just a tough football player man i think he embodies the the steeler kind of way to play which is like it's that steel curtain that that that toughness that you got to play with man he's willing to you know uh stick his face in the fan and yeah do whatever he needs to do for his team man i think he uh yeah the pittsburgh like toughness like when i think of pittsburgh tight ends i think of like Heath Miller okay heath

Speaker 1 and when he used to catch the ball he would just have

Speaker 1 and big him and big Ben were always on the same fucking page they would fuck they would just like in the middle of a run he'd just give like

Speaker 1 Miller a fucking wink and he'd just run like a little seam route and he'd just

Speaker 1 quick 10 yards just fucking truck everybody now don't get me wrong they're two completely different players but they do have that same Pittsburgh toughness but um yeah I think fascinating

Speaker 1 about those those like tough fan bases brave future brave future

Speaker 1 what is it about those fan bases that really love tight ends i think you're honest because when i think i thought of the same thing with everything you were just saying i thought of heath miller like when i think of pittsburgh i think about tight ends i think it's honestly when i think about the eagles i think of tight ends i certainly think about tight ends with kansas city oh who's your who's your who's your who's your favorite eagles tight end my favorite eagles tight end don't make me do this don't make me do this come on i'm not doing this because i got too many buddies i got close friends i can't pick one or the other all right all all right, all right.

Speaker 1 Mine's Zacherts, but I do love

Speaker 1 Daddy. I can't wait to tell Seli.
You just said that.

Speaker 1 He's going to be so pissed at you. Chad Lewis is another favorite of mine.
Chad Lewis, I should have just gone pre-my teammate years and,

Speaker 1 you know, yeah. Anyways, so many good ones, man.
So many good ones. Selzy.
Come on. We already know he's at the top of the list.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think the second part of the question, I don't even remember answering. Oh, the renegade.
Renegade. That is

Speaker 1 fucking

Speaker 1 from the long time of the lord if you're if it's a really close game you feel that yeah like tension build in the stadium it's pretty dope if it's the other way around then you don't really feel it like that yeah but usually stealers

Speaker 1 is really good their defense is really good so usually it is close so usually you feel it a lot yeah and the whole stadium gets into it this is another thing that Ryan Clark pointed out to me when we were there.

Speaker 1 Everybody wears like their team's jerseys, but it feels like Pittsburgh is like even like that on a thousand.

Speaker 1 Like, I don't think anybody goes to that game without wearing an actual Pittsburgh Steelers jersey. They all wear the jerseys throughout the day in the city.
Oh, man. Like, it's terrible.
It was.

Speaker 1 I mean, I see a lot of jerseys in there. Pretty crazy

Speaker 1 the amount of Steelers fans that were in legitimate jerseys at the game. I think that's something that they, that's like a thing.
I mean, every fan base wears jerseys, but a lot.

Speaker 1 of jerseys in Pittsburgh. So especially when renegades go in.
I don't know what it is about. I just, I think it was growing up wearing black and gold.

Speaker 1 It's a dope color. I mean, that's Cleveland Heights.

Speaker 1 Black and gold has always been a favorite. I recognize it more.
I don't know what it is. I don't think it's just a really good color combination.
Black and gold is just a good color combo.

Speaker 1 It's so good. It's so good.
And then you add that cool fucking old school Steelers logo in there. Like, so iconic.

Speaker 1 What are your favorite color combos of teams?

Speaker 1 Black and gold is one of them. I'll say this.

Speaker 1 I've always loved the color green, not just because I'm an Eagles fan. I just love the color green.
Yeah. One of my favorite color combos.
I don't have anything to do with the team. Oakland A's.

Speaker 1 The green and yellow is just an awesome

Speaker 1 dude.

Speaker 1 I know, I mean, Green Bay Packers, but for some reason, that Oakland's hat, it just stands out as one of the coolest.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's just a dope.

Speaker 1 They're the Sacramento A's now. I think of the same thing with the Super Spacks.
It's soon to be the Vegas A's. Oh, they're moving now too? Oh, yeah, they're out of there.

Speaker 1 Everybody's leaving Oakland for Vegas. It's unfortunate, man.
Oakland's a beautiful sports town. Yeah, maybe it is just green and yellow because I thought of the Supersonics jerseys and stuff.

Speaker 1 Those are some dynamite freaking.

Speaker 1 I think they're trying to bring a team back to an NBA team back to Seattle, too. What's another, what are your favorites? My favorites?

Speaker 1 I'm an old school Cavs, a 90s Cavs. I knew you were going to go there.

Speaker 1 Are you talking about

Speaker 1 blue and orange? Are you talking about,

Speaker 1 I kind of like the blue and black.

Speaker 1 The splash jerseys, the one where it looked like they had paint going across their jerseys. I gotcha.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Like that very end of the Mark Price years, the Sean Kemp years, the 96, 97, 98. They had the blue and black on those ones.
Those are my favorite too. I think I'm with them.
I love those ones.

Speaker 1 There's something about blue and black where it kind of clashes, but it works. And then the hint of that orange in, it has that orange in there.

Speaker 1 i'm a big orange guy too is that because of the browns are we just subliminally been affected our whole lives we have that was one thing like

Speaker 1 i like broncos jerseys because i like brown i like the color orange i just like oranges yeah like oreoles orioles have a good color combo because i like the orange i don't know what it is they're another god damn that's a good one right there i think i just like it been like the pirates are black and gold this is all just comes back to our childhood penguins yeah does everybody else feel this way or is it just us?

Speaker 1 I don't know. Talk to us, 92%.

Speaker 1 And that does it for

Speaker 1 catching up with the Eagles and Panthers. Shout out to the Eagles for finding a way to get a win against a sneaky, good team.
And thank you for your voicemail, man.

Speaker 1 I'll be excited to hear Renegade in the fourth quarter on Christmas. All righty, let's hit a little bit more from the biggest stories from week 14 in the NFL.

Speaker 1 What's going on this week? Yeah, starting with the gambling Dan Campbell.

Speaker 1 A lot of talk about Dan Campbell declining to kick and keeping his offense on the field on fourth and one, up three at the Green Bay 21 with 43 seconds left.

Speaker 1 I don't, I mean, listen, fourth and one, you go for it. I'm 1,000% in on Dan.
And they're starting to see this. We're going to get to the Rams game, but they did it on fourth and five.

Speaker 1 They were like, yeah, we can't give Josh Allen the ball back. And I think that, you know,

Speaker 1 Dan's been criticized a little bit about those fourth down decisions last year in the playoffs. But this gambling, Dan Campbell, man, that's why he has been where he's been.

Speaker 1 These Lions win a lot of games because of these decisions and being aggressive and because they're a really good football team. Dude, there's just something that's so likable about this guy.

Speaker 1 Dude, he was. Check out this.
I think I've said it on here before. He was one of the guys, he was down at Miami as a tight end coach back in 2013 when I was coming out.

Speaker 1 And I was like, man, I want to fucking play for that guy. That guy seems like a fucking great coach.
It seems like he gets the best out of guys. It seems like he's all in, tough son of a gun.

Speaker 1 And sure enough, man, you can see, you know, as the years go on, how great of a coach he really is and how he can really embody, get guys to embody that toughness and play for him. And

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 1 it's a dagger when you see guys running the ball like this, big points in the game and converting it, even with their quarterback fucking tripping over his feet. God,

Speaker 1 that was crazy.

Speaker 1 Shout out to golf, man. Hell yeah.
He found a way to hand that fucker off, man. Golly.

Speaker 1 More power to him. Go off.
Get your feet out the way. Oline's got to do a job.
Come on. Yeah.
Also, shout out to Dan Skipper.

Speaker 1 I love that Dan is just like, there's always these sound bites that Dan Campbell gives towards Skip. Let's do it.

Speaker 3 I told you you'd never forget this game. You will never forget this game.
We don't have to talk about how tough we are. We don't have to talk about how resilient we are.
We live it, man.

Speaker 3 We've been living it.

Speaker 1 Where's our defense at?

Speaker 3 Offense, that's the way to step up, man. That's a way to step up.
There you go, Skip. Keep throwing up.

Speaker 1 Whatever you're doing up with.

Speaker 1 How could you not love that guy? I mean, Jesus. Just a football, a football legend, man.
Hell yeah. Just exudes passion for his players, for the sport.

Speaker 1 Freaking Dan's over there giving it everything he's got. He's throwing up.

Speaker 1 Gosh.

Speaker 1 What a great freaking. Yeah.
They got a lot of great stuff going on. Green Bay's got a lot of great stuff going on, too.
They've been playing lights out.

Speaker 1 And, I mean, that was a hell of a game to watch. Lions found a way to get it done.
Against Green Bay, but they got a huge one next week against the Buffalo Bills, who just had a huge loss to the Rams.

Speaker 1 Yes, big loss. A lot of people are saying game of the year, maybe? Dude, it was insane.
I think it was a 42, 44.

Speaker 1 Like, that's, I mean, that's a high-powered, two high-powered high-powered offenses going at it right there, man. It was.
It was. It was what it was, is high-powered quarterback play.

Speaker 1 These guys were playing out of their mind. Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen were going off.

Speaker 1 The Rams dominated the majority of the game. I kind of hesitate to say that, but they did.
They were winning for the majority of the game.

Speaker 1 They're winning by more than one score the majority of the game. Josh Allen in the second half was impressive, to say the least.
He was scrambling.

Speaker 1 He was making big throws, whether it was to Mac Hollins or, what is it, Shakir?

Speaker 1 He was a man on a mission to come back and will the Buffalo Bills to victory. And we just talked about the fourth-down decision with Dan Campbell.
The fourth down decision by McVay

Speaker 1 and the Rams to go for it on fourth and five, which ultimately led to a Puka touchdown, was absolutely enormous. Hell of a route by Atwell coming across the middle of the field.

Speaker 1 Hits Atwell, then all of a sudden Puka scores on a screen. The very next play, Puka went off.

Speaker 1 That catch on the sideline. Toe-tapper.
What the heck?

Speaker 1 dude that dude is so good man yeah storm and moon man rams are coming on now that they're all healthy cup is back puka's back o-line is healthy matthew staffer could still sling that ball my god demarcus robinson having a hell of a year this year d-rob man i love you go to marcus

Speaker 1 go to marcus are the rams a nfc sleeper team or Are they everybody nobody's sleeping on the Rams?

Speaker 1 I think that people might have been sleeping a little bit when they were injured, but I think everybody now is definitely not sleeping. Stafford and McVay have been proven to be very, very good.

Speaker 1 They can put up points with the best of them. So, yeah, these guys are, now that they're all healthy, now that everybody's backed, you can tell they're getting dialed in again.

Speaker 1 It's going to be interesting to see how the NFC West plays out. But the Rams are full bore.
And for some non-football news, how about that? Getting into some non-football news.

Speaker 1 Juan Soto just signed arguably the

Speaker 1 most ridiculous fucking contract I've ever heard in my life. Oh my God.

Speaker 1 Is that real?

Speaker 1 Yes. I mean, it's, we're like five to ten years away from seeing a MLB player make or sign a like a billion dollar contract.
15 years.

Speaker 1 I remember when he was insane. It's a 15 year.
That just seems like so outrageously long. How old is he? How old is Juan Soto? I think he's only 25.
He's under contract with the New York Mets

Speaker 1 until he's 40. Dudes, that's a big gamble.
That just seems so outrageous. And it's all guaranteed, bro.
It's all guaranteed. Baseball is guaranteed.
He's 21. He's 26 right now.
So

Speaker 1 he's under contract until he's 41. How the fuck does this good job? I mean, the baseball union, I don't know how this they finagled this stuff, but wow.
They've been around for years and years.

Speaker 1 They've been around for fucking 10 years. NFL units are going to get this stuff together.
15 years. That seems like a joke.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? Like, that just doesn't.

Speaker 1 I'm not sure if the 15 years or the $765 million that comes with those 15. To me, it's less of the $765 million.
I mean, that's outrageous numbers.

Speaker 1 We're expecting him to play as good as he's playing right now until he's 41. That's what just blows my mind.

Speaker 1 I mean, in 15 years, I guess the thought is in 15 years, or even just in 10 years, the salary cap is going to be drastically different because inflation and how that works.

Speaker 1 But it just feels like, I mean, it's an outrageously long contract. It's mind-blowing.
My mind can't really wrap my head around it.

Speaker 1 Per Pat McAfee, he's going to make $5,902 an hour for the next 15 years. That's a pretty good salary.
God damn it.

Speaker 1 It's pretty good.

Speaker 1 Pretty good. Pretty good.
Pretty good. Congratulations, Juan Soto.
Yeah. And he was, I mean, I got to see it live in action.
That dude is a fucking beast. Yeah, he's really, I mean, there's a reason.

Speaker 1 I mean, he's the reason he's got paid $765 million over the next 15 years. Yeah, pretty good.
Damn. Is it a vanilla contract, though? How, like, what's it? Who's he just?

Speaker 1 There's got to be all sorts of stuff in there. Is he getting paid

Speaker 1 until he's like fucking 80? There's got to be all sorts of stuff in there. All righty.

Okay. Let's get some voicemails, Trav.
Let's do it.

Speaker 1 before we get out of here we're going to answer some not dumb questions that came to the heights hotline no dumb questions is brought to you by disney's mufasa the lion king i love these kind of movies man it's like that like cgi like live action yeah i love that man i'm so in on this i don't know what it is about movies where fucking animals are talking but i love them i don't care whether it's live action whether it's cartoon i just fucking love them Let's get to the first caller, Intern Brandon.

Speaker 1 First caller.

Speaker 4 What's up, boys? My name is Jason, and this this is my question for hashtag no dumb questions.

Speaker 4 Now, you guys have probably been asked this a thousand times, but what is the worst, and I mean the absolute worst place you could take a woman on a date? Like, bottom of the barrel, like,

Speaker 4 there's no way in hell you're getting a second date if you take a girl there.

Speaker 4 All right, now, boys, take care.

Speaker 1 I got a few coming to mind. Anything that she has no idea was fucking going on? Yeah.
I don't know, man. What is a worst.
I've only thought of like good date ideas.

Speaker 1 I've never thought of the worst date ideas. I mean, I feel like a lot of the times it's really what you make of it and your attitude and stuff that really makes it.

Speaker 1 I feel like I can make anything shake. Maybe

Speaker 1 don't take her. Don't take her to the strip club.
I don't fucking know. That's a good one.
Definitely don't take her to the strip club. Don't do that.

Speaker 1 Although some strip clubs do have really good wings. I have heard.
Yeah, me too. Don't know anything about it.
I think I got some to go one time.

Speaker 1 Yeah, strip club. Definitely don't take her to the strip club.
That's definitely the worst answer.

Speaker 1 If she's not into sports, don't take her to a fucking sports game. No, take her to a sports game.
If you're into it, I don't.

Speaker 1 There's nothing worse than trying to teach somebody about something that they don't want to be taught about.

Speaker 1 Well, listen, if she doesn't have the open mind to freaking go, then you don't want to go on a second day with her.

Speaker 1 It's okay. Nice.
I mean, I'll go. Listen, I don't want to watch Love Actually, but I'm going to watch it because Kylie wants to watch it.
So we're going to watch Love Actually.

Speaker 1 That's part of being an open-minded, considerate partner. That's a good point.
So I guess what we're trying to say is there's no real worst date.

Speaker 1 It's just, you know, picking the right woman to go on the date with. Yeah, the worst first date location is to take her to someplace that you don't want to go.
Like if you're the one activating it.

Speaker 1 But if you're saying, we're going here. This is why we just had to find it out.
Yeah, we found it. Go someplace that you want to go that you think you'll be, you're excited to to take her.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I think

Speaker 1 there you go. Worst is the opposite of that.
You got it, Jason. All right.
Not you. Not you.
The other Jason. Next caller.
Next calla.

Speaker 5 Hey, guys. I was listening to this week's episode on My Way to Work.
I'm about to go into the office. And I was just wondering why no one in the NFL plays,

Speaker 5 does the annexation of Puerto Rico play? from Little Giants. I hope you answer this because I've wondered it for a long time.
Thanks.

Speaker 1 Well, thank you for listening. First of all, appreciate you listening on a way into work.
And I hope your day at work was that much better because you listened to us. And

Speaker 1 because you asked about the annexation of Puerto Rico, I'll let you know right now that it is arguably the worst play that you could ever run

Speaker 1 in an actual football game. It works so perfect because there were kids and it was a movie.
And

Speaker 1 there's no fucking way in hell. I will take this back.
I have seen it done in college games, and I don't think it ended up being a game-winning touchdown, but it did get some yards.

Speaker 1 Can we, I don't remember, some of those one-off,

Speaker 1 it's where they snap it. Snap it, it's a fumble rooster.
They put the ball on the ground, act like it's a toss. Yep.
And then somebody else picks it up, puts it like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 The center sits on it like he's doesn't see where it's at. Something like that.
I got to see if it's a legal play. It's one of those old.
It is a legal play for sure. Okay.
Maybe.

Speaker 1 I'm not sure if the, I'm not, I don't remember if the formation actually

Speaker 1 like, yeah, the initial like snap is changed its possession because it has to it has to actually be possessed by the quarterback

Speaker 1 for it to count

Speaker 1 as a legal snap

Speaker 1 or to somebody. We've seen it happen a lot.
Some of these trick plays, like the annexation of Puerto Rico or like a reverse pass or a funky formation,

Speaker 1 some of them are just

Speaker 1 it's the NFL.

Speaker 1 Guys aren't getting fucking tricked. I mean, guys get tricked all the time, Travis.
I don't know, man.

Speaker 1 That's like you're a flanker.

Speaker 1 Your entire career has been tricking people. Nope.
Not like that.

Speaker 1 Not like that.

Speaker 1 Well, I think Travis is on something. It's probably not a play that's going to work very well in the NFL.

Speaker 1 Fun to watch in a movie. What's the kid's name that designs it in Little Giants? No idea.
Yeah. Four eyes.

Speaker 1 I I can't say what that thing's at once. That's it, it's the wrong character, but that guy's awesome too.
No, that's the same character. No, it's not.
What do you, yes, it is? No, it's not.

Speaker 1 He's the he's like the coach, essentially. Wow, the

Speaker 1 Fumbarooski. All right, well, I need to go back and watch Little Giants again.
What are these for?

Speaker 1 So the guys at the morgue can identify our bodies.

Speaker 1 No, what are these for? Intimidation.

Speaker 1 So fucking good. We got to remake Little Giants, man.
