Chiefs Kick Off the Season, Jason Scouts the Birds and NFL Week 1 Preview | Ep 99

Speaker 1 This is a real good story about Drew, a real United Airlines customer. After almost four years of treatments, I was finally cancer-free.
My mom's like, Where do you want to go to celebrate?

Speaker 1 I'm like, Let's go somewhere tropical. And then pilot hopped on the intercom and started talking about me.
I was like, What is going on here?

Speaker 1 My wife beats cancer too, and I wanted to celebrate his special moment. That's Bill, a real United pilot.
We brought him drinks and donuts. We all signed a card.
I was smiling ear to ear.

Speaker 1 Best flight ever for sure. That's how good leads the way.

Speaker 1 You know what my latest plan to divert our family from getting a cat is? I just keep telling our girls that cats are poisonous. Why the fuck would you tell them that?

Speaker 1 So that they don't want cats and I don't have to deal with having a cat and make them terrified of them.

Speaker 1 It's whatever. They'll find out.
I think lying to your kids is important. They're going to go over a friend's house and fucking scream bloody murder because they see a cat.

Speaker 1 Sounds like that person's house problem.

Speaker 1 You're a psycho.

Speaker 1 Welcome back to New Heights, ladies and gentlemen, a wondry show produced by Wave Sports and Entertainment.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Wave, shout out to Wondry, and brought to you by NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. Man, I was just rocking to some YouTube TV watching that

Speaker 1 really, really tough game to watch last night. That Boston College Florida State game was not a fun game to watch.

Speaker 1 But I am excited the football's back, baby. This NFL season, you can watch every game every Sunday when you bundle NFL Sunday Ticket and YouTube TV.

Speaker 1 All right, now. Terms and embargoes apply.
Our embargo. Embargo.
Plural. Embargoes.
What is embargo is an order of a government prohibiting and departure of commercial ships from its ports.

Speaker 1 What? A legal prohibition on commerce. All right, got it.
An order by a common carrier.

Speaker 1 or public regulatory agency prohibiting or restricting freight transportation. You ever ever heard a word, looked up the word, and then got even more confused about the word? All the time.

Speaker 1 That's what just happened with Embargo? That's what Embargo's just did for me. I thought I knew it, and then I read it, and I was like, wait.
It's pretty much what I thought it was.

Speaker 1 I still don't understand how that applies to Sunday Ticket and YouTube TV.

Speaker 1 Their description, I just don't get it. All right.
We are your hosts. I'm Travis Kelsey.

Speaker 1 I need to talk to him about it. Yeah, I had a lot of fun at the Derby this year.
A lot of fun.

Speaker 1 Wait, it's going to be in the Derby? No, it's not. It's a three-year-old.
Derby's only two-year-olds. All right.

Anyways,

Speaker 1 as always, we need to get to the first thing that we always talk about, which is new news.

Speaker 1 New news coming in. Hey,

Speaker 1 new news is brought to you by our friends at General Mills. That's right.
Our festual Kelsey Mix is in store soon.

Speaker 1 For a sneak peek, follow the show on social media and some exclusive clips of Travis and me at Serial Training Camp. It was actually a ton of fun.
Shout out to the kids that we we were doing it with.

Speaker 1 That was too much fun. Wonderful.
The kids made it exciting and fun, as always. It's always about the kids.
Oh, yeah. You already know.
It's pretty awesome.

Speaker 1 We picked our three favorite cereals to all go into one box. You know it, baby.
It's marshmallows,

Speaker 1 peanut butter,

Speaker 1 and cinnamon. Yeah, cinnamon toast crunch, Lucky Charms, and Reese Puffs.
That's right. Some of our favorites.
Don't forget the chocolate and the Reese Puff.

Speaker 1 I know it sounds like an odd mix that wouldn't go together. I'm not going to lie.

Speaker 1 When they first put this in a bowl, I was like, I don't know how it's gonna taste, it's probably not gonna taste that good. And then you eat it and you're like, man, that's gonna taste

Speaker 1 delicious. It tastes real good.
I've always mixed cinnamon toast crunch with Reese Puffs. That was always a banger to me.
It's the chocolate and the peanut butter and then the cinnamon.

Speaker 1 And then you just get a nice sugary marshmallow thrown in there. And it's just delicious.
It's absolutely delicious. It's almost like s'moreish.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I would say the Reese Puffs definitely is the power flavor in there. Oh, yeah, for sure.
And then you get a cinnamon-y kind of kick to it with just a wonderful marshmallow from time to time.

Speaker 1 Absolutely lovely. Make sure you guys check that out.
And shout out to General Mills, still rocking and rolling with our favorite breakfast. We've been eating that stuff for a long time.
A long time.

Speaker 1 And it's going to be a long time until I stop. The first item of new news, the internet has spoken, Jason, and you fucking cheated.

Speaker 1 Well, it's a good thing I don't care anything about this poll. And that's a lesson learned, ladies and gentlemen.
You should never care what the internet says. It is because it's number one,

Speaker 1 even if they're the 92 percenters that listen. Listen, I am all for the democratic process, all for the democratic process.

Speaker 1 But when you have a bunch of people voting and they don't understand what the rules are,

Speaker 1 then I'm not for it. And on top of that, this wasn't a sanctioned

Speaker 1 tournament. There was no like bracket, there were no

Speaker 1 school, this is

Speaker 1 you and me right here.

Speaker 1 Find a way to get it done,

Speaker 1 and everybody's like, oh, Nicole, Nicole didn't grab the table, so you had an unfair advantage. Yeah, well, that's Nicole's fault, okay? I can't be subject to

Speaker 1 being

Speaker 1 like sanctioned because she doesn't have the common sense to grab the table for leverage. Yeah.
And she's got a gold medal, so she's great. She's doing great.

Speaker 1 Oh, you lost to a woman. I beat an Olympian.
Okay, that's what happened. I was on her turf and I took her down.
That was pretty good.

Speaker 1 Way to make it. Way to make it.
Way to make it right.

Speaker 1 All right. Well, now we know.
We have not lost faith in internet polls. I still believe he cheated if it was a real event.
It's not a real event, so who cares? There's no opinion on this.

Speaker 1 Read the next part. It'll tell you exactly how I didn't cheat because the rules stipulate that the offhand is either grabbing a peg or it can grab a table.

Speaker 1 There's legitimate, like a whole rule in regular wrestling, arm wrestling, that allows for this. Okay.

Speaker 1 Nice. So the internet's wrong again.
Well,

Speaker 1 mama's wrong. Wrong again.

Speaker 1 Mama's right. Moving on to a next bit of new news, the Kelsey Car Jam.
Year two, baby. That's right.
Year two. I'm pumped to announce Kelsey Car Jam is coming back to Kansas City.

Speaker 1 This year we're going to have it October 5th.

Speaker 1 That's a Saturday before, I believe, one of our Monday night games. And ironically, my birthday.
So we're going to have some fun. Last year, we started this event, and it's a benefit.

Speaker 1 It's to benefit 87 and running my foundation team

Speaker 1 who what that helps out the underserved community and the youth here in Kansas City and back in Cleveland, our hometown.

Speaker 1 We'll have everything from old school muscle cars to some high-end luxury vehicles.

Speaker 1 Typically we get some teammates to come down and show off their cars and just everybody comes down to have some fun and come together to raise some money for a good cause, man.

Speaker 1 Everything we get here just gets injected into the city.

Speaker 1 Has helped raise money in years past for the ignition lab and Operation Breakthrough and the amazing, the amazing things that they do for the youth.

Speaker 1 The amazing things that they do for the youth here in Kansas City and have done in years past.

Speaker 1 And one of my favorite parts is seeing the Operation Breakthrough Ignition Lab, their mechanics part of that ignition lab, displaying all the things they've been working hard on, including the 1970s Chevelle that they turned into an electric car.

Speaker 1 That's right. We got high school kids doing that at the ignition lab.
It's pretty cool, man.

Speaker 1 It's going to be a fun time. It's kind of like a carnival atmosphere.
There's always good food. There's always some entertainment outside of just the cars.

Speaker 1 And I want you guys to go on the website 87andrunning.org. And the tickets are on sale right now.
So, yeah, can't wait to see you guys. That's Saturday on October 5th.
Heck yeah, man.

Speaker 1 How's that Chevelle running? Oh, it's running smooth, baby.

Speaker 1 I got my truck. I have not drove it yet.
I have not drove it yet. yet i've been trying to get down

Speaker 1 no i haven't gotten down there yet and been able to to take it for a test drive but um i've seen that thing and it looks fantastic and i'm sure with that tesla motor that it's got in it um they figured out how to get that thing revved up pretty good nice i got uh i got that pickup truck that uh

Speaker 1 that uh chevy 1986 pickup that never was running yeah I got the operation breakthrough working on that. So what? I don't know if it'll be ready for Kelsey Car GM year two, but I'm excited to.

Speaker 1 Well, one, I'm excited to go to Operation Breakthrough. I still haven't been there.
I know you and Dad have talked about it a lot. Oh, it's the best.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the faculty and the kids that are a part of Operation Breakthrough just seems incredible. So, I can't wait to check that out.
But then, too, I can't wait to check out Kelsey Car Jam.

Speaker 1 So, what is it just like

Speaker 1 a car show, essentially? Yeah, it's a car show. You come down, see some cool cars, get some good food.
Is there any drag racing? Yeah, maybe have a few garage beers and drag racing.

Speaker 1 No, we haven't gotten into the drag racing yet. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 What happened at kelsey car jam year one anything exciting well i think it was the it was the operation breakthroughs ignition labs uh first showing of kind of what they had been working on in the mechanic side of things at operation breakthrough uh the ignition lab showed up with the uh chevelle back then and then showed kind of the beginning stages of them i believe doing a blazer either a blazer or a um bronco an old school bronco for bronco yeah so i think they're going to turn that thing into electric and kind of restore it.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Oz, my man Oz is behind the mechanic side, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 He's the one that kind of leads the mechanic side in the ignition lab. He's the one, like the supervisor, yeah.
Sounds fun. Can't wait to check it out.
Yes, sir. Should I do anything?

Speaker 1 Should I bring the Cybertruck? Or will they all laugh at me? I don't know.

Speaker 1 I think you can, yeah, if you want to bring the Cybertruck, those are always fun to watch. It's a car show, dude.
If you've got a cool car, bring it down.

Speaker 1 That does it for new news brought to you by our friends. It's General Mills.
The official Kelsey Mix will be hitting stores soon. All right, come on, buddy.
Make sure you stick to the serving size.

Speaker 1 Stick to the serving size. Don't overdo it.
It's delicious enough to be able to do that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you got to. And the milk to cereal ratio has got to be.
It's very important.

Speaker 1 And then you have to drink the milk at the end. I'm telling you guys, it is unbelievable milk at the end.
It's great milk. Cereal milk is quite possible.
Yeah, but

Speaker 1 the Reese Pus milk.

Speaker 1 Yep. And then on top of that, cinnamon crunch milk.

Speaker 1 And then you get added sugar from those marshmallows. And it's just like,

Speaker 1 that's delicious. And you're lucky.
Then you're lucky. You're magically delicious and lucky.
Let's get on to some fan mentions, baby. All righty.

Speaker 1 Before we get to our official NFL week one preview, let's shout out some of our fans, the people that allow us to do this. Yeah, Anna.

Speaker 1 First up, a lot of you let us know about Travis Kelsey's llama sighting at the Minnesota State Fair. Oh, look at this.

Speaker 1 travis kelcey dressed llama seen at minnesota state fair all right minnesota minnersoder do llamas have humps those are camels camels have humps is that a person it does look like a person oh it's got the arms that's funny as hell that's that's actually pretty funny the more i look into i had to zoom in to see i was like why does this llama have arms

Speaker 1 That's pretty funny. There's a llama.
They're fake arms. Yep.
It's got the helmet and streamers. You a big llama guy? Not, I'm not a big llama guy.
Not a big llama guy?

Speaker 1 A lot of people in our area are starting to get the alpacas. Ooh, nice.

Speaker 1 There's somebody around us that has a full-blown fancy. That camel's pretty badass.
Ooh, camels are riding. Camels, you got to watch out, man.
You can't stare those things in the eyes.

Speaker 1 They'll spit on you. I think llamas do the same thing.
They've been known for that. Yep.
Llamas are fun to watch prance around. Do llamas serve a purpose?

Speaker 1 Yeah. I think all animals in the animal kingdom serve some purpose.
Oh, no, I mean, like a hippo doesn't really do shit. What is a llama?

Speaker 1 a hippo makes sure that everybody stays in line yeah they're hungry and then they

Speaker 1 make for a great board game what is the so llamas

Speaker 1 what do llamas do

Speaker 1 packet animals

Speaker 1 they uh provide meat and milk so people eat llamas i'm not eating llamas and i'm not drinking their milk i knew i figured you could make you could use it's wool yeah that's

Speaker 1 that's where i'm yeah leather people make llama leather i think that's a little fucked up what's the uh what's the one that Louis Vuitton? Is Louis Vuitton making some llama pets? Llama leather?

Speaker 1 PETA would be on their ass if they were doing that.

Speaker 1 Candles. Llama fat is used for making candles.

Speaker 1 Yeah. All right.
Well, kind of disgusting. Shout out to the Minnesota State Fair.
Didn't know we had Chiefs Kingdom up there, man. The Travis Kelsey llama did not win.

Speaker 1 lost the costume contest to the champion Emerson Croft and her llama Macchiato seen here. It was

Speaker 1 in second second place.

Speaker 1 You came in second place behind the watermelon llama, which, if I'm going to be honest, I think the watermelon llama is more creative. I mean, look at that costume.
That's a pretty.

Speaker 1 I mean, I think that's better. That's a person.
That's not a llama. Well, the llama is to the left of the person.
Well, that doesn't look like a watermelon at all. That's a sliced up.

Speaker 1 That's like the sliced watermelon. I agree, though.
It doesn't really look like a watermelon. Yeah.
She's got the better watermelon outfit. Shout out to all the llama contests out there.

Speaker 1 Maybe that's a bad view of the the llama, though. Maybe at a different angle, it kind of looks more like a watermelon.

Speaker 1 Everyone, who would have thought that there would be a costume contest for llamas? What other animals? I mean, there's got to be like a dog costume competition. Nope.
Never heard of that. Jlamas.

Speaker 1 Llamas. Yeah.
Llamas are pretty. That's their relevance.

Speaker 1 That's their relevance. You're asking, like, what are llamas for? Yeah.
They're for making costumes. So for costumes, yeah.
And staying with animals,

Speaker 1 I bought a horse, man. You bought a horse? I did see this.
How about that? Old Swift Delivery.

Speaker 1 Swift delivery. So did the name prompt interest or did the horse.
I'll say, you know, when the stars align, you know, it's just, it feels good. So how did the stars get on board?

Speaker 1 How does one go about buying a racehorse or even finding out how to buy a racehorse? Take us through this process. Yeah.
So you have

Speaker 1 really good friends that are good people that are into horse racing. The Zoldens.
Yes, the Zoldens. Bruce and Alex Zolden.
I've known Alex for about 10 years plus now since I've been in the league.

Speaker 1 And fellow Ohioan. Shout out to Youngstown family that we all got.
And yeah, the Zoldens are just an awesome family.

Speaker 1 They own Phantom Fireworks, one of my favorite fireworks stores up in Ohio and throughout the Midwest, or really throughout the country. And I've just

Speaker 1 had so much fun going to events with them and just building our relationship. And sure enough, they were at the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 They came, they invited me to the Derby this year, and I had had one of the best times ever at the Derby. Love it.
As they were my host. And sure enough, I was like, man, that'd be fun to

Speaker 1 get involved and

Speaker 1 see

Speaker 1 one of your horses in a race.

Speaker 1 That seems like it would be a fun, fun thing to be a part of, knowing that they've actually had a horse when in, I think it was the early 2000s.

Speaker 1 It was a horse called Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom.
Yeah, it was a fun name. It was a Disney name.
Yeah, they won the Derby, that is.

Speaker 1 Wow. Yeah, sure enough, they asked me if I wanted to jump in on a three-year-old that they had, and the name was,

Speaker 1 it made sense to team up with this one, it being Swift Delivery. What's cool is that the different style of horses.

Speaker 1 Some horses get out to a fast start and try and lead the pack and just take off and like. Yeah, they're sprinters.
Yes. And then the others are like the finishers, right?

Speaker 1 The ones that kind of come around the last turn or the last two turns.

Speaker 1 Straightaway stretches.

Speaker 1 So that's my question. Does Swift Delivery have an enlarged heart? No.
Do you know how big its heart is?

Speaker 1 No. See, that would be the first thing I'd be doing: I'd be getting an ultrasound and seeing how big this thing's heart is.
Yeah. Well, that's you.

Speaker 1 I just got on board because it was fun and I could team up with a good friend of mine.

Speaker 1 I don't, I'm not in it to look at the size of the hearts.

Speaker 1 And I like the way that Swift Delivery ran. I've seen like three or four races that Swift Delivery has been in, and sure enough, I heard nothing but great reviews.
And it's more of a finishing horse.

Speaker 1 It comes around that turn and just

Speaker 1 hits the just like top speed and kind of saves the last

Speaker 1 straightaway for with all the juice that it's got. So, as you did say, it is a three-year-old horse, so it's not eligible to participate in any of the Triple Crown races.
Correct.

Speaker 1 At this point, how much longer will this thing race for? And what's the end goal? To like, hopefully it wins some and they get to studded out? You're asking questions that I have no answer for.

Speaker 1 You're asking me absolutely no questions. I know its next race is going to be somewhere within the next two months.
You said it finished second place last time? Yeah, up in Woodbine.

Speaker 1 Yeah, up in Toronto. This past weekend was second place finish.
It was weird weather. The ground wasn't

Speaker 1 in its best

Speaker 1 suited racetrack for Swift Delivery. So we still got a lot of faith in it.
So Swift Delivery is a dry track racer. It's not a good on the wet track? I'm not sure how it switched.

Speaker 1 I just know that it didn't make it easier for Swift Delivery. Have you thought about giving it more steroids to improve its second place finish in the first place? It does not.

Speaker 1 I'm not answering that question because it does not take steroids.

Speaker 1 What do you think? This is the 1970s?

Speaker 1 Everything's regulated now, Jason. Oh, man.
We actually care about the horses. Are you sure? Jason, just leave it at that.
All right.

Speaker 1 And lastly, Travis got a shout out from the king himself, LeBron James. LeBron James.
He was asked to name his tight end Mount Rushmore, and he named Travis first, the number one tight end.

Speaker 1 Northeast Ohio, baby. Which I don't know.
I mean, he did name you first. It was very clear in the video, too.
He went right to Travis. Then he went Kellen Winzo Sr., Shannon Sharp.

Speaker 1 Actually, then he went Tony Gonzalez, Kellen Winzo Sr., and Shannon Sharp. And then retroactively, I think somebody somebody was like, hey, you might want to put Gronk up there.

Speaker 1 And he's like, oh, crap, I forgot about Gronk. That's the way the video seems.
And he took Tony off and put Gronk on. So his final Mount Rushmore is Travis, Gronk, Shannon, and Kellen Winslow Sr.

Speaker 1 He checks the list. All five of those guys, you could take me off of there and put those four up there, and it'd still be the same list.

Speaker 1 I feel like the guys that have played before me. helped make the league so that I could have the success I've had in the league.
And that includes Gronk. That includes Tony.

Speaker 1 That includes even Kellen Winslow Sr., who played back in, I think, like the 70s and 80s. So yeah, and Mount Rushmore is more of like a that's more of like a historic presidence.

Speaker 1 Like you don't have like new presidents like on Mount Rushmore. So maybe Gronk, Travis, and maybe even Tony.
Tony's pretty new. I mean, he's pretty modern tight end.

Speaker 1 Who would be the classic tight ends that should be Mount Rushmore?

Speaker 1 Kellen Winslow Sr. Yeah.
Mike Dicka. Mike Dicka.
Maybe Ozzie Newsome on there. Ozzy Newsome.
Ozzy

Speaker 1 Yeah. I think Ozzy Mussum.

Speaker 1 As a Cleveland Brown guy, you got to put him up there. Yeah, 100%.
Who else? Who's the fourth tight end? I don't even know if I can name a fourth tight end from back then.

Speaker 1 Who's the guy that caught the pass from Joe Montana in the end zone? What's that guy's name? That was Clark. That was a wide receiver.
He was a wide receiver?

Speaker 1 Are you kidding me? He looks like a tight end. Okay.
R.I.P. The legend.
Yeah, you would have to put Shannon up there if you're.

Speaker 1 Shannon's a modern guy, too. I'm talking about like pre.

Speaker 1 I mean, what's technically Tony and Shannon played in the 90s

Speaker 1 if you played football before the steroid era. Didn't Ozzie play in the 90s? Or was he before that? I think he's before the 90s.
Ozzie Newsome? Ozzie Newsome was for whatever reason.

Speaker 1 I feel like he was like an 89 guy.

Speaker 1 I think Ozzie was like similar to Kellen Winslow, right? Makes sense. Ozzie Newsom.
He finished playing with the Browns in the year 1990. So he was really the 80s.
I knew it. Kellen Winslow Sr.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so they played in the same time frame. Yeah.
Dika is also probably somewhere in that same window, right? Yeah, he's probably more 80s. He's 70s.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He was 85 Bears. He was the head coach.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 John Mackey. Don't just reach for John Mackey.

Speaker 1 Are all the other ones going to be new age tight ends? Shannon, Travis, Gronk, Tony, Antonio Gates. Yeah.
So I guess it's Mackey. Because I can't.

Speaker 1 Mackey's the original, like, the Mackey Award is the college NCAA, like tight end of the year award. It is.

Speaker 1 Let's see what his stats are. I mean, it's a different game.
It's a different game, so let's not compare the stats. Okay, three-time first team all-pro, five-time Pro Bowler.

Speaker 1 And he was like the, like you said, he was kind of like the founding father of the tight end position, as Dika was.

Speaker 1 Ozzy kind of transformed it into the 90s, and then our guys Tony and Shannon took it over. Yeah, because like Mount Rushmore, those guys are all like, I mean, three of them are real old.

Speaker 1 And then you got Roosevelt up there who's like,

Speaker 1 when was Teddy Roosevelt a president?

Speaker 1 God damn it.

Speaker 1 Early 1900s, Teddy Roosevelt? This entire episode is just going to be us searching shit. God damn, I didn't know Teddy Roosevelt looked like Andy Reid.
Dude, I just know he's big on the parks.

Speaker 1 Presidential term 1901. All right, I'll take that.

Speaker 1 1901 to 1909. Dude.
How is that possible? Aren't the presidents usually the even years? Because it's every four years. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 You got me out.

Speaker 1 At what point?

Speaker 1 We're asking the wrong questions. I'm just so confused.
I thought it was every four. All right, whatever.
There's a leap year in there somewhere that fucked up the. All right, whatever.

Speaker 1 All right, where do we go from here? All right, good list, LeBron. Thanks for giving my brother a shot.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Bron, baby.

Speaker 1 I appreciate you, brother. Finally, somebody agrees that I belong on the Mountain Rushmore.

Speaker 1 Mom and dad, mom and mom, dad and dad, whatever, 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.
Let's give this some Chiefs season preview kickoff.

Speaker 1 Well, depending on when you're watching this, the NFL is officially back tomorrow. This episode is going to drop Wednesday, and the Chiefs open the NFL season once again this Thursday.
Travis.

Speaker 1 Yes, sir. This is your 12th season in the NFL.
Damn. Man, time flies.
It does. How do you feel?

Speaker 1 How's it feel coming out of camp in year 12? I mean, reading 12th season, I feel old as fuck. Yeah, no.

Speaker 1 But today in practice, I felt like I was flying. That's good.
Your mustache makes you look older, too. There's something about a mustache that makes you look seasoned.
Just more seasoned.

Speaker 1 In a good way, though. Like, it makes you look like powerful.
So you like it? Yeah, I just watched this Wyatt Earp thing on Netflix, and I'm in on the mustache.

Speaker 1 That's a very, there was a, I'm not going to lie, listen, there was a, you won some award. What award did you win?

Speaker 1 The Sportsman of the Year award, Sportsman of the Year, which we're not going to get into,

Speaker 1 but you won the Sportsman of the Year award,

Speaker 1 and you have a

Speaker 1 Kelsey brothers should never be up for. Yeah, I won't like that.

Speaker 1 The two guys that cheat the most and scream at everybody on their team.

Speaker 1 You had the mustache with the suit, and it was like I was looking at somebody out of the wild, wild west. Like, it was a dapper moment.
Wow, wow, wow. What would your Wild West name be?

Speaker 1 You got to have like a cool gunslinger name. Like your porn name is like the street you grew up on, and then like your dog's name or some shit, right?

Speaker 1 So, what's how do you figure out your western name? Your first pet's name and the street you grew up on. Okay, you know this a little bit too

Speaker 1 flash Flash Coleridge. Flash Coleridge.

Speaker 1 Man, it's going to be in everybody's search. How do you figure out your Western name? We might have to go to the 92%, how we figure out our Western name.
How's a Western name decided?

Speaker 1 What's a good Western name? Big Yeti. Maybe you can.
What's another form of Big Tumbleweed? Think Tumbleweed.

Speaker 1 Cactus John. Cactus John.

Speaker 1 The bearded bandit.

Speaker 1 Who would be? The revolver.

Speaker 1 Nice.

Speaker 1 What's like a good

Speaker 1 bandit name? What's Travis's Western nickname, 92%ers? Yeah, I don't even know how you figure that out. Either, can you tell us how to figure it out or you guys just got a couple Western nicknames?

Speaker 1 There's got to be some people in this comment section that are just big-time Western movie and culture fans. They had great nicknames.
Even NFL back in the day, there's something about nicknames.

Speaker 1 Like, that's Big Red. Why is he red? Because he's got red hair.
Yep. What's like a great nickname of an old football player? Shoeless Joe Jackson.
That's a baseball player, but that's a great.

Speaker 1 Mean Joe Green. We got to come up with a good one.
Chiefs aholic.

Speaker 1 Well, the 53-man roster is officially out for the Kansas City Chiefs, and here are a few players that Chiefs fans are excited to see this year. Travis, let's get your thoughts.

Speaker 1 All right, let's do it, baby. Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy.
That's right. The man with the fastest 40 time ever.
Does that speed translate to the field? Here's some highlights. Yes, it does.

Speaker 1 You watch as Travis answers this question. I'll say this: some guys have the speed, and some guys are just football players, man.

Speaker 1 He's intelligent. He's picking up on the offense very smooth.
He can see things and react. And so his reaction and his awareness is up there.

Speaker 1 And then on top of that, he has absolute speed that is unworldly. Yeah, it's just on a whole nother, a whole nother stratosphere in terms of his stride.
Like once he gets going. So he's a strider.

Speaker 1 That was going to be my question:

Speaker 1 is he a

Speaker 1 fiery kill, quick burst, agility-driven player? Or is this a linear, like take the top off of defense or both?

Speaker 1 I think it's a little bit of both. I think his stride is more

Speaker 1 relevant

Speaker 1 than how quick he is.

Speaker 1 I think he's right around six foot. He's somewhere in there.
I might be lying. He might be smaller than that.
Is he taller than me? I don't know. You're asking questions that nobody knows, Jason.

Speaker 1 Five o'clock. Not really six foot.
Pretty much. You're right on it.
Yeah. When he runs, does he run like a robot or does he have that fluidity? No, he's fluid.
He's a fluid runner. He's very smooth.

Speaker 1 That kind of comes with the stride. And I'll say this.
I'll say this. He's very, like I said, he's a smart guy.

Speaker 1 So he's understanding the offense and he's understanding when Pat is going to want to come to him on the route. Yeah.
And that's the biggest thing in this offense.

Speaker 1 And that's the biggest thing kind of getting used to as a rookie is being able to see and trust what you're seeing so that you're on the same page as your quarterback.

Speaker 1 And he's doing a great job with it so far. And I'm excited for it, man.

Speaker 1 He seems like one of those guys that rises up to the occasion when the lights are on. And

Speaker 1 I'm pumped for him, man. For the life of me, I don't know why other teams keep allowing Andy Reid to draft the fastest human beings.
He did it with Deshaun Jackson. Yep.
Did it with Tyreek Hill?

Speaker 1 And now he's done it with Xavier Worthy.

Speaker 1 And it's always fun to see a fast receiver in an Andy Reid offense. God, he's going to dial some fun ones up.
Nah, right, nah. All right.

Speaker 1 There's also a new fan favorite, undrafted rookie, Carson Steele. Man, that's a good football name.
He's bringing the fullback back to KC. He is.
I think he's a little bit more than a fullback, too.

Speaker 1 He's athletic, and he can do some things with the ball in his hand. On top of that, he's a big special teams guy, whatever you need me to do, coach, kind of guy.

Speaker 1 So you're going to be seeing some of Carson Steele, or as I like to call him, Dundee. Dundee.

Speaker 1 Short for crocodile, Dundee. Is that because of the alligator that he's had? He's got a gator.
He's had for a while now as one of his birthday presents from his father, I believe.

Speaker 1 His dad got him then. That tells you a lot about him.
And I guess you need like 100 permits to have a Gator up in Indiana. So dad's getting you an alligator.

Speaker 1 Don't think that he's doing this illegally. He's a soft son of a gun.
You know it.

Speaker 1 This is the real-life Bobby Boucher, basically. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Very good. He sounds like a guy that I would call a tweener, where he can do a lot of different things, almost like a Kyle Yuschek.

Speaker 1 I don't want to put him in that category until he starts playing games, but there's this world in the NFL that Kyle Shanahan and a lot of these offenses have done where they've, you take like a guy that can play fullback, tight end, you can even split out wide, and you can all of a sudden get to all these formations.

Speaker 1 You can get to I, you can get to a tight end wing, you can get to

Speaker 1 three by one. Like there's a lot of different ways you can utilize a guy like this, which improves,

Speaker 1 I don't know, just the amount of plays and formationally what you can do. Yeah.
I'll be curious to see how Andy starts utilizing him.

Speaker 1 And it's another formation, another piece to the puzzle that the defense has to be ready for. And I think

Speaker 1 Andy Reid's offenses have typically had that fullback type player.

Speaker 1 We didn't necessarily have him last year, but this year we really have a guy like Carson that can just, he can do more than just what a typical fullback can do, which makes it harder on the defense to have to, you know, account for that.

Speaker 1 It's hard to find the guy that can do fullback and do that.

Speaker 1 Usually the the fullback guy is like a meathead. I think Anthony Sherman right away from your guys, Mike Sherman.
One of my favorite teams.

Speaker 1 He's the guy that everybody loves because he does all the work that nobody else wants to do, which is basically just run full speed and blast your head into this other person as hard as you can. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And it's rare to find a guy that's willing to do that and then also athletic enough to do all the other stuff. It's hard to find that guy.
That guy has a ton of value if you do find one of them.

Speaker 1 Exactly. And Sherm was a huge special teams guy as well.
We actually, I'm pretty sure he filled in playing safety safety for us

Speaker 1 one year.

Speaker 1 He also was our starting running back against the Denver Broncos a few years ago. You can get him done now.
Oh, yeah. Sherman Ader,

Speaker 1 he's one of the best fullbacks. He's one of my favorite guys to play with, man.
Run a lot of downhill plays. Don't get him going east-west.
Just get the big fella moving north and south.

Speaker 1 So he's going to be a fun piece to see how Andy Reid uses. And sure enough, I think he's going to help out the team a lot this year, man.

Speaker 1 Well, one of the great things about Carson Steele is he's just got a football name, Carson Steele. I mean, it's asking for a great nickname.

Speaker 1 I'm just going to go with old Dundee, or I'll just call him Carson because his name is Carson. And here's the picture why you call him Dundee.
Here's his alligator. Very juicy.

Speaker 1 I mean, it's a big alligator, bro. Look at his neck.
That's how you know that this guy's willing to run into things. When your neck is wider than your skull,

Speaker 1 you're going to be good at running into things. My neck is like right here.
It's aligned with like the outsides of my eyes. Typically, you'll notice most people's neck is not wider than their jawline.

Speaker 1 They hit the fuck out of things. Yeah, that means when you hit somebody with a neck that's not wider than your jawline, it exposes your spine a little bit.
But when your neck is wider than your ears,

Speaker 1 your head's not going to move anywhere. You're basically a torpedo.
That means you are safe and you have your seatbelt on. That's exactly what that means.
So this guy's earrings, a neck wider.

Speaker 1 Look at his quads. This guy's just been doing leg extensions all day.
How How do you even get quads like that? Dude, he put on

Speaker 1 a leg sleeve for recovery and

Speaker 1 to reduce swelling and stuff on his legs. And he was wearing it and he expanded the sleeve so much that

Speaker 1 it looked like he had painty hose on. The only way I could be more like my stock higher on this guy is if he had a bunch of tattoos.

Speaker 1 Like if he had a bunch of like just like Jeremy Shockey tattoos, I'd be like, I'm all in on Carson Steele.

Speaker 1 He's got an alligator, earrings, a neck wider than the freaking Nile River, and he's got quads more cut up than

Speaker 1 something super cut up. I don't know.
It looks like his quad is overflowing over his knee right now. It doesn't make sense.
You can't even see his kneecap because of how big his quad muscles are.

Speaker 1 I don't even know that you do this.

Speaker 1 He's getting torched right now.

Speaker 1 His fucking hat. Look at how skinny that hat looks with his neck.
This guy's fucking doing four-way neck, I'm telling you. All right, man.

Speaker 1 He could probably run into a brick wall and fuck that wall up pretty good. That wall, I feel bad for that wall.
Yeah. All right.
Let's get to the next guy. Hollywood Brown.

Speaker 1 Hollywood Brown, baby. Probably the biggest off-season move you guys made outside of the draft or anything else was signing Hollywood Brown.

Speaker 1 Or, I mean, we'll get into some of the extensions and stuff here in a little bit, but yeah, Hollywood Brown, veteran wide receiver.

Speaker 1 But unfortunately, he is hurt. Right now, is that safe to say? Has there been any injury information that's been released? He's getting better.
Yeah, he's getting better.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure it's public knowledge that he's out there. He's declared out for this week.
Yeah. He's excited to be able to play with Pat Mahomes in this offense.

Speaker 1 He's seen success. He's seen how it's ran.

Speaker 1 And he sees the accountability that is put on the wide receivers. And he's excited about that, man.
He's very smart.

Speaker 1 Another guy that came into the building immediately wanting to learn, wanting to understand the nuances and

Speaker 1 the little things that make this offense go.

Speaker 1 And he's very detailed in his work and a smart player that can play fast, man. When he was out there, he's out there rolling.

Speaker 1 And he'll be an asset for him as soon as he gets back to full strength, man. That's awesome.

Speaker 1 What did he hurt?

Speaker 1 Something in the shoulder, I believe. Okay, one of those shoulder things.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 In other Chiefs roster news, Creed Humphrey got paid. He set the bar.
Brand new for centers.

Speaker 1 Man, it must be nice to play center. Signed a four-year, $72 million contract extension.
Damn, including $50 million guaranteed. He is now the highest-paid center in NFL history.
Damn.

Speaker 1 And he deserves every second, every penny of that contract. Creed has been, really, since he got in the league, which has been unique for him, for the center position, typically there's like a...

Speaker 1 There's an onboarding process where you learn the trade and you got to, not Creed. He's been great from day one.
He's been one of the best best in the league, and he doesn't.

Speaker 1 I mean, I don't anticipate that slowing down anytime soon. And this is four-year extension for $72 million.
Yes, sir. So, yeah, that's a big deal.
Worth every freaking penny, like you said.

Speaker 1 Do we know what the APY is he now in like I think he's like 16, 17? 16? Yeah, yeah. Well done, Bubba.
Yeah, no, he's like we said, he's worth every single penny, man.

Speaker 1 He's so, he's just so good in between the tackles, in space, getting to second level.

Speaker 1 He's one of those guys that can just do it all, man, on the offensive line.

Speaker 1 And on top of that, a guy that takes command, a guy that is, in terms of a leader, is showing everybody nothing but the best.

Speaker 1 And I'm just happy as hell for the guy, one of my favorite teammates on this team.

Speaker 1 And sure enough, I didn't know it was this much money, but I knew that he got the extension during our preseason game.

Speaker 1 During the game.

Speaker 1 The news leaked during the game that he was signing an extension. He went in there and he signed his contract and then got a hot dog in the locker room and went back out of the field

Speaker 1 isn't that what a day what a day

Speaker 1 what a day at the ballpark baby okay 50 million dollars and that's good okay where's the hot dogs

Speaker 1 i can smell them yeah so shout out to creed for getting that extension um the core of the uh of the chiefs offensive line is now signed for an extended period of time here so uh chiefs kingdom you can get pumped on that well done creed uh well the other thing we've been hearing about all offseason is the three-peat.

Speaker 1 Yep, that's the storyline everybody is talking about with the Chiefs. I don't know if you know this, but it's never been done before.
I'm sure nobody has mentioned this to you guys. I did my research.

Speaker 1 The one thing I've been noticing, you guys have talked, you guys have been pretty open about discussing the three-peat. Is that fair to say? I haven't told you.
Who have I talked to about it?

Speaker 1 I feel like the first time I heard about the three-peat was from you guys right after you won the second one. That's probably the only time we've really talked about it.

Speaker 1 So now you guys are more focused on on this

Speaker 1 getting

Speaker 1 week one, right? You don't get to the Super Bowl by thinking about winning the Super Bowl. You get to the Super Bowl by slowly creating this routine of success week in, week out.

Speaker 1 We have to be a better team in December, in January, and in February than we are right now. And we know that it's a process that you have to go through.
You know, you can't peek too soon.

Speaker 1 You can't look that far in advance and just assume that you're going to be there. You got to make make sure that

Speaker 1 you're present every single day. Yeah.
And you're putting in the work and practice. You're putting in the time to get right mentally before the game.

Speaker 1 And then on top of that, being real with yourself when you do play. And if it's a good game, it's a bad game, always finding a way to get better.

Speaker 1 And I think that mentality and that formula of success that Coach Reed has implemented here, I think that itself is,

Speaker 1 that's what you got to focus on. You can't focus on anything down the line like that.
Before we wrap up Chiefs' talk, let's talk a little bit about the season opener against the Ravens.

Speaker 1 This is a rematch from the AFC Championship game last year. Trav, you missed week one last year against the Lions.
It was the first game you missed in.

Speaker 1 Thanks for the reminder. What was that, nine seasons? Ten seasons?

Speaker 1 I sucked, Jason.

Speaker 1 I felt older last year than I feel right now. That's how I lost that game.
This game will have the banner raising,

Speaker 1 which is the last celebration of last year's Super Bowl. Are you ready to finally stop talking about last year? I'm, I haven't, I'm so done.
I have, I'm not even bringing up last year.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you just bring it up every time you talk to me. What? No, I only bring up two years ago.
You never stop talking about it.

Speaker 1 You're like, oh, I don't know if you know this, but we won the Super Bowl last year. No, I always say we won the last two years.

Speaker 1 You make sure they're hard.

Speaker 1 I think that I'm so done with this. I was kind of done with talking about last year

Speaker 1 after the ring ceremony. I'm so

Speaker 1 thinking forward and thinking about

Speaker 1 this game

Speaker 1 on Thursday. I'm so focused on this year and just,

Speaker 1 like I said,

Speaker 1 trying to get better every single week, man. Well, Trey Smith is with you.
He weighed in on this question. Winning the Super Bowl last year, no one cares about that.

Speaker 1 Nobody cares about the season. We care about it.
Nobody cares right now. We're focused on it's a completely new season.
We have to prove ourselves week in, week out. Love that quote from Trey.

Speaker 1 He's also one of my favorite guards to watch in the league. God, watching Adam.
I love that guy, man. It's the most exciting.

Speaker 1 For no reason at all, do you want to watch Trey Smith wreck somebody's shit? Yes. It's like you read my mind, Brandon.
How'd you know? I wanted to see this. Is this the DV one?

Speaker 1 This is like, yeah, this is like... Yes, this is the screen tree.
Good evasion. Slaps him by him.
Gets flat. That's the most important thing.
Nobody knows this.

Speaker 1 Right after you get that release, you got to get flat. If you go upfield, if you go upfield, you're going to miss that block.
He goes flat and then just cold cocks this dude in the side of the head.

Speaker 1 It's all about angles. It's all about angles in this league.
God, I love this block. That's football, son.

Speaker 1 That's football, son. That's how football is supposed to be played.
That is not an anomaly. Trey Smith does these kind of blocks all the time.
That's why we love him, man.

Speaker 1 Do you have any thoughts on the Ravens leading up to this first game? You just played him in the AFC title game. Two very similar teams from last year.
Not a lot of changes.

Speaker 1 Obviously, they lost Patrick McQueen. They've added Derrick Henry.
They lost Jadavian Clowney. They've got to play Geno Stone.

Speaker 1 They have a new defensive coordinator, was promoted within, so you probably can assume it'll be a similar system as to they ran last year since it's somebody that was in the organization.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and they have similar pieces. Don't get me wrong.
I mean, Clowney might not be there, but they still got edge rushers. They still have a great defensive line.

Speaker 1 They have a core of good linebackers, yes.

Speaker 1 And then on top of that, they got one of the best secondaries, definitely one of the best safeties in Kyle Hamilton, who I think they'll give even more responsibility to now that he's

Speaker 1 even more comfortable in the league,

Speaker 1 having

Speaker 1 the unbelievable season he had last year. Do you think Kyle's going to want revenge? I think the entire team is definitely going to be fired up for this one.
Yes.

Speaker 1 I've been in a situation where I've lost an AFC championship game and a Super Bowl at that. And

Speaker 1 the next season, you come out pretty fired up and ready to wreak havoc, man. Love it.
So we'll

Speaker 1 have to match that intensity and

Speaker 1 and make some plays, man. That's the end of the at the end of the day.
When that ball is in the air, we got to make the catch and we got to get the run game going. We have to get the run game going.

Speaker 1 Uh, you heard Rokan Smith earlier this week talk about how you stop him and you got to make them one-dimensional, is what he's saying.

Speaker 1 And hopefully, we have the uh, the full arsenal firing on all cylinders. Well, best of luck, should I go? Should I go to the game? Am I invited? I've got a ticket.

Speaker 1 I don't have anything to do with this.

Speaker 1 I got a ticket for you, but that's about it. All the other tickets are fucking sold.
So, I can't invite Dad.

Speaker 1 You know how dad it gets.

Speaker 1 Dad's already coming. I figured.
Yeah, alrighty. I guess that wraps up week one, Chiefs versus Ravens.
All right, let's talk about some Eagles football, baby. Fly, Eagles fly.
Going into week one.

Speaker 1 Yeah. This is still a half Philly podcast.
We're not going to

Speaker 1 take that away from the Philly 92%ers that we got. Don't take Philly.
Don't take it away. Once a bird, always a bird, baby.

Speaker 1 He might have retired, but Jason will not leave the building. That's right.
Jason, do you still have a

Speaker 1 locker in the locker room? I have a locker in the staff portion of the building. Your staff?

Speaker 1 I'm with anybody from accounting or

Speaker 1 whoever wants to go get a workout in. I am in that part of the locker room.
I love that for you. Sexy Batman was back in the Eagles training camp, though.

Speaker 1 He made a ride back over to, what is it, Nova Care Center? Nova Care Center. That is correct.
Nice. Helping out, holding bags and stuff.

Speaker 1 Did you just become like a, what is it, a dummy? Bag holder? Punching bag, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I don't even remember holding this bag, so this is interesting, but I would love to.

Speaker 1 I actually want to start putting cleats on and giving the guys looks and stuff like pre-practice. I think there's some things that help out there, but I just haven't had the time.
And,

Speaker 1 you know, I'm so in my busy schedule. It's just tough.
Gosh. Selfishly, I want to stay involved in the game.

Speaker 1 You know, I get to go and talk to Stout, Cam Jugens, new starting center, obviously. Yeah, but a veteran in his own right, right? He's in his third year.

Speaker 1 He's second year as a starter, first year as a center, but he's played the position a lot. And he's been in action.
He's seen a lot of bullets, man. No doubt.
He's going to be great.

Speaker 1 I feel like the more connected you stay to the game, the better I'm going to be for Monday Night Football selfishly. And then also, the more you just stay sharp in terms of like overall football.

Speaker 1 Has ESPN or the NFL told you that it's okay for you to be in the building and still do commentary? Or I guess it isn't commentary. It's like pre

Speaker 1 achievement post. Because Tom Brady just got told he couldn't be a part of an organization.
He can't be an owner, correct.

Speaker 1 But you can be like a scout and still do it? I don't know. Or wouldn't that still be

Speaker 1 the affiliation with a club? Yeah, I don't know what the rule is. For me, I'm not accepting any money from the Eagles, right? Like, I don't have an official position.

Speaker 1 I'm really just going there out of pure interest on my own to keep my knowledge base of the game up.

Speaker 1 And obviously, I've built up a lot of relationships with the people around that building that, you know, I'm going to help out in any way I can. But the reality is that's not my job.

Speaker 1 Tom, he was, he's just, he's now not allowed to have like production meetings with other teams and get the access in the building that all the other broadcasters technically had.

Speaker 1 Like this week we got the NBC cast and we got Mike Terico and Chris Collinsworth. I love those guys, by the way.
They were so fun to talk to today.

Speaker 1 Just the absolute best in terms of calling a game. They're just class acts with it.
I think that Tom isn't allowed to do that.

Speaker 1 My meeting with Tom would have never happened. I don't think he's even allowed to do production calls.
I think he still is. Is he an owner? Of the Raiders, yeah.
I think the Raiders.

Speaker 1 I thought that that fell through because of what we're talking about.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure they just made it to where he can do it, but he's not allowed to be on production and kind of get that insight into other teams.

Speaker 1 All right. Howie Roseman told Kay Adams, he tried to recruit you as a scout.

Speaker 1 I think Jason would be great at anything in football. I think he'd be a heck of an evaluator.
I tried to recruit him to come work with me, too, because

Speaker 1 he can evaluate players very well. When we were in the draft, I gave him a few centers that we really liked, and he came out and said, I love Cam Jergens.
And luckily,

Speaker 1 I only gave him the players that I like, so I can't come up with somebody else. So he can't, yeah, this is the real key.

Speaker 1 They give me guys that they already like, and they just, all they want is for me to affirm what they already think.

Speaker 1 They don't want me to come up to him and be like, hey, I actually like this guy over here. But yeah, Cam Juerg is a guy that I liked a lot.
Landon Dickerson, I liked him more as a guard coming out.

Speaker 1 A lot of teams are looking at him at center. He would do center just fine, but his skill set, in my opinion, translates more to being more impactful with the guard position.

Speaker 1 But I also liked the other guy. I mean, listen, I think I have fun watching football and looking at guys.

Speaker 1 And it's so interesting watching players and like almost right away you kind of like, oh, I like what that guy's doing right there. I like the way he moves his hips.
I like the way he sinks.

Speaker 1 I like the way he's out in space. And he mirrors people.

Speaker 1 You're taking all that into consideration. But I'm partly not accepting a position because I want to be able to be honest in my assessment as an individual media member.

Speaker 1 Although I think everybody knows I'll always be biased towards personal relationships that I have with the Eagles.

Speaker 1 Maybe that's in the future, but not in the cards right now. Well, Nick Siriani also said that the door is open for you to join the Eagles coaching staff.
We'll see. Maybe.
Maybe one day.

Speaker 1 I know selfishly I would love coaching, but

Speaker 1 that's a big time commitment that at this point in time I'm not willing to make. Maybe down the road.
Yeah, we'll see. Well, as an unofficial Eagles scout and coach,

Speaker 1 what do you think of the 2024 Eagles, brother? I think they're immensely talented. I think they had a lot of talent last year, especially on offense, and I think that some things stalled out.

Speaker 1 I think that this year they're going to be really good. They've improved on defense.
They've added new pieces in the secondary. They've drafted some guys and

Speaker 1 have a more well-rounded group.

Speaker 1 Defensive line-wise, I think they're very good.

Speaker 1 Linebacker is the question mark. I think it's waiting to see how Nakobi Dean comes back and some of these new guys fit in.
I like the linebackers' coach.

Speaker 1 I've talked to him, and I think that I just think they're going to be really good. I think they have a lot of talent.
I think that Jalen Hurts is going to have a bounce back year.

Speaker 1 I think they have two coordinators who have proven success in the league and Kellen Moore now and Vic Fangio.

Speaker 1 And I think that last year

Speaker 1 there was a lot in place after losing those two guys and the previous coordinators and Shane Steichen and Jonathan Gannon. And for whatever reason, it didn't work.
There's a lot of reasons for that.

Speaker 1 But I think that with these two guys here,

Speaker 1 they've won a lot of football games. They've done a great job at calling plays on both sides of the ball.
I think when you take into account good play calling with really...

Speaker 1 highly talented individuals, it would be shocking to me if they don't perform at a very high level this year. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They They got a whole lot of talent. That's what I'm sure.
Well, the immediate has been asking Jalen Hurts on his thoughts on

Speaker 1 the first season not on the receiving end of Jason Snaps. He's probably thankful for that.
His take was, we had a great player in Jason Kelsey who took on a lot of responsibility.

Speaker 1 And as a result of that, I was told not to worry about a lot of things. And so my

Speaker 1 eagerness to learn over the years was kind of halted.

Speaker 1 But now times are different, different, which sounds like Jalen took his game to another level, man. You got to love that.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of media in Philadelphia that are blowing this into like a negative assessment, like he's making an excuse or something like that. And I've shared this exact sentiment with Jalen.

Speaker 1 I think he's at the stage now in his career that he can take that next step forward in making a lot of these protection calls and things that I did for him early in his career when he's a young player.

Speaker 1 He's seen a lot. And I think that a lot of the things we struggle with late in the year with the Blitz is

Speaker 1 when teams do a great job of disguising things and you really don't know if you can, where to direct it, the quarterback has to feel comfortable with where he's hot at.

Speaker 1 And I think that Jalen now controlling a lot of this and taking this ownership on is going to help, especially for situations like that. 100%.

Speaker 1 But I think him taking on this as a responsibility is going to accelerate his game across the board. And I think he's ready for it, one, from a knowledge base.

Speaker 1 Two, I think he's ready for it just by being a more experienced player. And he's going to be more of a leader.
He needs to be more of a leader and have more of this responsibility on him.

Speaker 1 So I'm excited to see how this goes for him this year. I think mixing in that portion of it, as well as you listen, the coaches have had a full offseason.
They know

Speaker 1 that they are going to get blitzed a lot early this year based on how last year ended. They've been focused on different ways to defeat the blitz, either from

Speaker 1 getting rid of the football to checks to putting the protection in ways that are conducive for the play code.

Speaker 1 And I think that all of these things that they've been working on all offseason is going to,

Speaker 1 I think it's just going to lead to a much more productive offense, especially in regards to that. So I'm excited to watch all of this take place.
You can't take anything negative out of that.

Speaker 1 All you can take is that he's taken the next step. He's getting better, ladies and gentlemen.
So don't take that as a negative thing

Speaker 1 just because it's something that he didn't have to worry about in the years past.

Speaker 1 Understand that he wants to know, and now he's putting in the work to figure those things out so that he can play better, he can play faster, he can play more confident. For sure.

Speaker 1 Pat Mahomes talks about how he couldn't even read a defense the first year he was in the league. And it all just, you have to find that, that, that groove of wanting to get better.

Speaker 1 And really, you have to have to be surrounded by coaches and players and people that'll tell you exactly how to do that and and how to like figure things out.

Speaker 1 And I think that Sirianni is a great, great offensive mind or a great coach. And obviously, Kellen Moore is going to do a great job of making him feel comfortable.
Couldn't agree more.

Speaker 1 I just think that I think that it's blown

Speaker 1 way out of proportion if you're looking at that as a negative thing. All I see is that he's getting better and that he's looking for ways to improve in 2024, man.
Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 1 And I think Nick backed him up with this comment.

Speaker 1 He said, Jalen Hurts comments he made on the radio this week about how he will have more control this season as Jason Kelsey was previously in charge of a lot of things at the line of scrimmage.

Speaker 1 He said it was Jalen being able to do some things at the line of scrimmage and Kelsey handling a big portion of that. So, yeah, what he said is 100% true.

Speaker 1 I think that, you know, I've made this exact statement to Jalen. I think he's ready to take this next step.
And I think in some ways it's going to help him become a better player.

Speaker 1 I don't think reading into this negatively, I think Trav, you hit on it really well as well. I'm excited to watch how Jalen grows as a player.
And I think

Speaker 1 he's proven a lot of people wrong

Speaker 1 when they doubt him. That's no damn sure, man.

Speaker 1 And I think the coaches and Nick Siriani and everybody involved, there's been a lot of attention put on a lot of this stuff all offseason in an effort to fix it.

Speaker 1 So it's always interesting playing new coordinators week one, especially guys that weren't promotions from within. The Eagles are playing a coordinator, Jeff, it's like Halfley or

Speaker 1 Hafley. I forget his last name, but he's been like a year in San Fran and then like the last five or six years been in college and it's like, you know, what is this guy going to do? Yeah.

Speaker 1 It'll be interesting. I don't really know what to expect.
You know, the Packers, for the most part, have been a 3-4 system as of late. And this guy's kind of got a lot of stuff in his veins.

Speaker 1 So it'll be interesting to see what it looks like. Well,

Speaker 1 the best thing is he's got a lot of talent around him, baby. No doubt.
And he's got a big offensive line that's going to be able to run the ball.

Speaker 1 And so it's one thing if it was all on him, but I think he's got a lot of guys that he can help him along the way.

Speaker 1 And half the battle is just getting that ball in their hands, man, and letting them be special themselves. I mean, you already said big offensive line.
Then we signed Saquon Barkley.

Speaker 1 Like, dude, I mean, it's, and then you look at the weapons outside. There is a ton of talent in Philadelphia.
I just think that they're going to.

Speaker 1 I think they're going to answer the bill so well this year. I went up to Sirian.
He's like, yeah, I believe we've dialed some more shit up for my guy, Dallas Goddard.

Speaker 1 He's a slept-on guy. Not a lot of the general public realize Dallas is a stud.
People in Philadelphia know, but he's got all the tools. He's a sneaky, sneaky, savvy route runner.

Speaker 1 He's got that wiggle. When you turn on that film, you see it, man.
Yeah, exactly. It might not be in the stat book as much, but when you turn on that film, you see it, man.
For sure. All right.
Well,

Speaker 1 Eagles down in Brazil Friday night. How about that? The Packers.
How about it, man? Eagles played the Packers down in Brazil on Friday night. Can't wait to see that one.
Sao Paulo.

Speaker 1 And shout out to the birds.

Speaker 1 That's all I got. Was he about to say something? No.
All righty, let's get to the multi-view week one preview. How about that?

Speaker 1 Last order of the business before the NFL season rolls out. We got to decide which games we're putting on our NFL Sunday ticket multi-view.
Okay, now.

Speaker 1 That's right, because thankfully we've partnered with our friends at NFL Sunday Ticket and YouTube TV. And with MultiView, we can now watch up to four games at once.
Ooh.

Speaker 1 All right. Which games are we watching? Let's go through them.
What do you think, Trev? Week one games.

Speaker 1 Let's see.

Speaker 1 I'll pick my first one. So we got Panthers, Saints at one o'clock.
We got Steelers, Falcons,

Speaker 1 Texans, Colts,

Speaker 1 Cardinals, Bills, Titans, Bears. Jags, Dolphins.
All right, Panthers and Saints, one o'clock. Probably not watching this one.
That's fucked up. I'm just being honest.
I don't really.

Speaker 1 I'm interested to see Bryce Young, man. I'm interested to see Bryce Young

Speaker 1 take another leap. And then on top of that, my guy, Sir Bank over in Nolins.
We'll see. Probably not on my multi-view, though.

Speaker 1 Steelers, Falcons. I'm interested to see what the new Falcons look like.
Russell Wilson. Yeah, his debut as a Steeler.
For some reason, he does look fitting in a Steelers uniform.

Speaker 1 The Broncos uniform was a little,

Speaker 1 I didn't see it. This one,

Speaker 1 I like him in the Steelers uniform.

Speaker 1 i kind of feel that i kind of i'll pick up what you're putting down and then uh kirk cousins baby he's back with reckless abandon out there in atlanta with the falcons man they got a lot of young weapons uh hopefully they can get my guy uh kyle pitts going again man get that tight end going man fourth overall pick for him uh two years ago or three years ago still waiting to see him have just an absolute amazing year knowing that he had a thousand yards this rookie year it'll be interesting to watch this one uh that one might be on it i think that one might be on it texans at colts

Speaker 1 You know what?

Speaker 1 I think this is going to be a fun one, man. I think Anthony Richardson back with the Colts.

Speaker 1 Texans, young quarterbacks going at it. CJ Stroud in his second year.

Speaker 1 Obviously, Stephon Diggs, a huge addition to that. I think this one's on it for sure.

Speaker 1 I think without question, the Texans are going to be on my multi-view every week, as long as CJ Stroud's playing because I think he's one of the best down quarterbacks in the league. He's a dude.

Speaker 1 And I want to watch what he's doing. And then, obviously, you just talked about Anthony Richardson.
The Colts sneaky. They were good last year.
Shane Steigen did a great job with them in year one.

Speaker 1 They could take a big step forward this year, but it's going to depend on how Anthony Richard comes back from injury and plays. So I'll be watching that one to see how that unfolds.
Yeah. For sure.

Speaker 1 Then we go to. Our guy, Alec Pierce, fellow Bearcats.
There we go.

Speaker 1 Fellow Bearcat. Cardinals at Bills.
Cardinals at Bills.

Speaker 1 I think this one's on mine because, one, I get to watch my former defensive coordinator, Jonathan Gannon, in his second year with the the Cardinals.

Speaker 1 I know they got Marvin Harrison Jr., Philly native, love watching Marvin Harrison Sr. So that'll be fun to watch.
But I'm more excited to see what the Bills offense looks like with Joe Brady

Speaker 1 now running more of that New Orleans style system. Very different than what they have done.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 I don't think that one's on there for me. I'm liking this Titans at Bears a little bit.
Titans at Bears. You want to see Caleb Williams?

Speaker 1 I want to see what the Rooks got, man,

Speaker 1 in his first game. And I want to see what the Titans, the Titans made a lot of offseason moves, man.

Speaker 1 They got a new head coach. They got a new secondary in Sneed.
They got new weapons in Calvin Ridley. I'll tell you what I'm looking forward to watching the Titans.

Speaker 1 They got Bill Callahan, offensive line legend.

Speaker 1 I don't know that I've ever seen a team that Bill Callahan has coached that is not a dominant running game. He's been in Cleveland the last few years.

Speaker 1 Our native team, the Browns, they've been outstanding since he was there,

Speaker 1 especially up front. So I'm excited to see what the Titans look like with not in his, the reason he's with the Titans because his son is the head coach, Brian Callahan.

Speaker 1 So that duo could be exciting to watch with the Titans.

Speaker 1 Very cool. What else have they done?

Speaker 1 They made some moves, another tight end, another fellow Bearcat. But yeah, I'm definitely excited to see, dude, the Bears' offense, the pieces they've added.

Speaker 1 I mean, I really, I'm excited to see what Caleb Wilson. I think they've done that right.
They have surrounded him with a ton of talent. I got Keenan Allen.
And they've beefed up the offensive line.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of, it's a very conducive

Speaker 1 position for Caleb Williams to go into his first year in Chicago.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of juice, baby. There's a lot of juice over there in Chi-Town.
So I'm thinking Jags and Dolphins are definitely in it for me.

Speaker 1 Oh, Dougie P versus Mike McDaniel. I think the Battle of Florida is a legit game this year.
I think the Dolphins come out hot and end up getting them because of the speed and everybody being healthy.

Speaker 1 But Trevor Lawrence

Speaker 1 and Tua going at it, I think that is just a

Speaker 1 good gear. I mean, a good game to watch, man.
It'll be interesting.

Speaker 1 I'm going to watch it because I'm kind of looking forward to seeing what the Dolphins look like. They've lost a lot of people up front.

Speaker 1 And I feel like that system is so predicated on being able to run the football effectively. Now, it's a very offensive line-friendly system.
The Kyle Shanahan

Speaker 1 run-play-action deal.

Speaker 1 They're still so fast out on the perimeter but i if you can't establish the run it's tough to get stuff going so i'll be looking to see what they look like but you got tyreeko um so out of the one o'clock games i'm going

Speaker 1 texans colts in titans bears in jags dolphins in and uh i'm going steelers falcons i'm going texans colts titans bears

Speaker 1 i guess i'm probably going jagged dolphins i got to turn on dougie p if he's on there so it comes down to cardinals bills versus Steels, and Falcons. Yeah, I'll go Cardinals, Bills.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 See what my man Jonathan Giannon looks like in the second year. And then, I don't know,

Speaker 1 watching Josh Allen's never a bad idea. And then at four o'clock, you could just have all the games that are on because there's only four.
You can. But dude.
You can go Seahawks, Raiders.

Speaker 1 Do you have to have four? Can you do two? You probably can just do three, to be honest. You can probably do three or two.
Yeah. But it's two is the picture big.
I think it's like it's three.

Speaker 1 You're just going to have an awkward box that's kind of sitting blank.

Speaker 1 No, they would they

Speaker 1 it goes in like uh like

Speaker 1 one big game and then two little ones. Yeah, it's the what did they call it when it's like middle spacing? You're not all the way far left, you're like middle spacing.

Speaker 1 It's middle spaced Brandon Borders with the hot take. One of those boxes can be red zone.
I think that's a good idea.

Speaker 1 When you're doing the multi-view, you got to pick which broadcast you're listening to. And I know for sure I'm going to be listening to the Fox broadcast.

Speaker 1 So yeah, for for the four o'clock games, you can have all of them on the multi-view, but I will be highlighting the Cowboys Browns because that is going to be the debut of Tom Brady in the booth, and I cannot be more excited to listen to what he has to say.

Speaker 1 I'm with you on that. Shout out.
Where's Olson at?

Speaker 1 He's the B-booth game now? Yeah. Gosh.
Do you want to fucking go down that hole again? Well, I'm just saying, what game is he going to be doing? So he's doing Washington.

Speaker 1 I'm kind of curious what this Jaden Daniels cat does.

Speaker 1 All righty, that's it for our breakdown of what we got going in week one remember with nfl sunday ticket and you do tv you don't have to listen to us you can choose which live nfl games you want to put on your multi-view it's whatever you want it's it's whatever you want like maybe maybe a game is getting blown out maybe we're really excited for one of these games and all of a sudden the dolphins are beating the crap out of the jags i don't want to say that for dope p maybe the jags are beating the crap out of the dolphins and you're turning off at halftime and you throw the steelers falcons game on No, it's Tyreek Hill.

Speaker 1 Or maybe it's a really tight game with the Panthers and Saints, and all of a sudden, you do want to watch it. You can make it a game.
It's a good game.

Speaker 1 I watch a good game. Yeah.
I want the closest games on my multi-view. That's what I want.
Unless it's the Chiefs, then I want to see a balloon.

Speaker 1 Unless it's like a fucking three to three game going into the fourth quarter, then I do not want to play it.

Speaker 1 Isn't an exciting game. That's not exciting.
We got to watch a quarterback that can complete some passes. All righty.
All right. Now

Speaker 1 let's wrap this thing up with some no-dumb questions brought to you by Mint Mobile, the smart answer to saving money on premium wireless. That's right, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 1 Premium wireless network while saving money. You got to love it, man.
Two things I would love to do.

Speaker 1 Jason tweeted asking for some no-dumb questions to start the season, and we got almost 2,000 replies. So shout out to the 92%ers.
No dumb questions is back and better than ever.

Speaker 1 It's going to be tough to get through all of them. The first no-dumb question comes from

Speaker 1 B-Par, B-E-P-A-R on X. Where are y'all's grandparents? Never bring up, you never bring up mamma.
Mama. Mama.

Speaker 1 Where is she? And Jason replied with a very kind and straight-to-it,

Speaker 1 yes,

Speaker 1 they're all dead. Unfortunately, our grandparents have passed.

Speaker 1 But if you were on X and you saw that come by your timeline, you got a good chuckle out of it. I guess, maybe.
They also just made fun of me because I used the wrong version of there, which, I mean,

Speaker 1 yeah, you did. Yeah.

Speaker 1 They are. They are.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 You're going to do the apostrophe. Jason, make sure you just, you proofread it.
You got to reread your tweets before you press send. You're an asshole.
Why are you?

Speaker 1 Nice.

Speaker 1 Or you just do that and not care. You know, we don't talk about mama because mama is not what we call our grandma.
We call our grandmother Grandma and the Kitties. That was what her name was.

Speaker 1 Grandma and the Kitties, yep. Everybody's got their own nicknames.
Everybody uses their own specific nicknames.

Speaker 1 We call,

Speaker 1 let's see, why didn't the girls call Kylie's mom Nana? Nana? Nice. They call Donna Didi.
Yeah. They call Ed

Speaker 1 Kylie's dad Skeeter. And they call Ed our dad pop.

Speaker 1 Nice. So, yeah.
I think dad kind of got the short end of the stick on all those nicknames right there, but. It's definitely the least creative.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Grandma and the kitties was, that was a good name. It was.
It was. She loved her some kitties.
She had a bunch of them running around the house.

Speaker 1 You know what my latest plan to divert our family from getting a cat is?

Speaker 1 I just keep telling our girls that cats are poisonous.

Speaker 1 And now they're in this world where they're doing that. I swear to God, I do.
Why? So that they don't want cats and I don't have to deal with having a cat and make them terrified of them.

Speaker 1 It's whatever. They'll find out.
I think lying to your kids is important.

Speaker 1 Not in this regard. I think it's great.
I think it's genius. It's just a matter of time.
They're going to go over a friend's house and fucking scream bloody murder because they see a cat. That's fine.

Speaker 1 That sounds like that person's house problem.

Speaker 1 You're a psycho, man.

Speaker 1 This guy's ridiculous. I got to get these kids on my side.
Otherwise, I'm in a sinking ship.

Speaker 1 They're like, Jason, cats are not poisonous. You grew up with a cat.
Travis, I know they're not poisonous. I'm saying my girls don't.
No, I have got them in this world.

Speaker 1 They don't know what to believe.

Speaker 1 Kylie is like, they're not poisonous. Your dad is lying to you.
I'm like, listen, if you have a cat, the government will come and take it from you because

Speaker 1 they're so lethal

Speaker 1 that, I mean, they can kill you.

Speaker 1 They don't even have to bite you, just them licking you. You feel their tongue.
It has little needles on it. And then I pull up pictures of a zoomed-in picture on a cat's tongue.

Speaker 1 And it looks like needles. And it terrifies the fuck out of them.
It's fucking great. You're fucking ridiculous.
Why do you have it out for cats so much? You grew up with a cat. I don't know.

Speaker 1 I just don't want one. You know why.
You just don't want to say it. What's why? Why? I don't know.
That's why I'm trying to get it. I'm trying to get some animals.
I just don't want one.

Speaker 1 I just don't want a cat. I don't want another animal in the house.
My dog's already ruined the furniture. There's something about cats that I don't like.
I don't know. You can't name it.

Speaker 1 They're fine if they stay outside. I'll do an outdoor cat.
I'm okay with an outdoor cat i just i don't know you're ridiculous all right here we go i think they're poisonous

Speaker 1 all righty next no-dumb question what color does travis say his eyes are what the

Speaker 1 travis you know that this has been a hot topic everybody wants to know because everybody how is this a hot topic everybody online says your eyes are green but mom

Speaker 1 Claims you have blue eyes. And I'm not going to lie right now.
I'm zooming in. They kind of look blue.
I'm telling you, dude, they switch up on you. They're not gonna be.

Speaker 1 Depends on what kind of day I'm having. Travis, if you look up to you.

Speaker 1 It depends on what kind of day I'm having. You have, what's that called?

Speaker 1 Hedochromia or whatever? It switches from like a bluish turquoise to like a

Speaker 1 light green for the most part. I think they're grayish, which makes them sometimes look blue.
They got some gray, yeah. If you really, if you really get up close, it's like

Speaker 1 it's like a blue, a blue, yellow, gray. Travis,

Speaker 1 I've been looking at you my whole life. You have green eyes.
That's what it says on my driver's license. Exactly.

Speaker 1 So why does our mother, a woman who gave birth to you, not know what color your eyes are? What has shifted in her mind that makes her think that you have blue eyes?

Speaker 1 Because I was a fucking blonde-haired kid when I was a baby. This is the thing.
I think you were, as a baby, sometimes your eye colors will be different and then they'll change as you get older. Yeah.

Speaker 1 That's the only way it makes sense that mom still thinks you have blue eyes.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And right now I have blue eyes. Look at them.

Speaker 1 they're kind of green, though. Look at the green back there, and then look at my eyes.
You're going to see blue.

Speaker 1 I will say they do look bluer right now than they usually do, but they still look green to me. Yeah, my eyes are green.
Mom, mom, I don't know. They might have been blue when I was a kid.

Speaker 1 I was a blonde-haired kid growing up. Like, I'm talking about straight blonde.
I was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed kid. How about that?

Speaker 1 And now I'm like a brown and gray hair and then a green and gray eye. You got a little red in that hair.
Don't be going.

Speaker 1 I got red in that beard. There ain't no red in my hair.

Speaker 1 last no dumb question would you rather chug a pitcher and then run wind sprints no or eat 50 wings and hit the sled for 10 minutes i'm assuming the pitcher is beer and hitting a sled for 10 minutes i might take what's the difference what do you mean in terms of went rin wind sprints and sled what's the difference i think a sled is more like you're like it's like a weighted thing and wind sprints is just like you're running i mean this, I, god damn it, just when you think there are no dumb questions, yeah, right, just questions that make you feel dumb that you even have to answer them.

Speaker 1 I mean, chugging a pitcher and then running sounds awful. It sounds stupid as fuck.
I find like it sounds like I'd be very bloated. Chugging a pitcher sounds exhausting.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, we've done it, but it's done it before, but it's it's always like I regret it. Yeah, you're about to throw up instructions.

Speaker 1 Well, now I don't need a drink for the rest of the night, but I might choose wind sprints just because I feel like it's

Speaker 1 like both of these sound pretty miserable. Hitting a sled for 10 minutes doesn't sound terrible.
I don't like hitting a sled for one minute.

Speaker 1 I think it's sleds are some of the most like overused pieces of equipment on a football field. I think they're give me a guy with a bag any day of the week.
I fucking hate hitting sleds. I just do.

Speaker 1 I'll hit a Crowther sled. That's about the only one I like hitting.
There's something about hitting something as hard as you can that I just have a love for. So you like hitting the sled?

Speaker 1 I like hitting the sled. I like hitting a golf ball.
I like hitting a baseball. I like taking a huge slap shot on the ice.
I just like hitting shit as hard as I can.

Speaker 1 We're talking about drastically different things. It's all the same.
The impact. I like to hit things at a very high impact.
But you can hit somebody with a holding a bag at that same impact level.

Speaker 1 Okay. I like that too.
Yeah, but I don't like sled. This really comes down to, I think sleds,

Speaker 1 for the most part, are a gigantic waste of time. I'd rather hit somebody with a bag.

Speaker 1 There's like one sled I think is actually that functional, and that's a Crowther sled that teaches your hips how to function and fire off into something really well.

Speaker 1 I don't really like most football sleds.

Speaker 1 I'd rather hit a guy with a bag that moves and it feels like I'm actually striking an individual, not like a piece of metal that doesn't move or operate on the same planes that like a football player does.

Speaker 1 That's fair. So I guess I'd chug a pitcher and run wind sprints because I feel like at least I'd get something out of their wind sprints that I'd appreciate, with just conditioning.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you get out the pitcher of beer that you just chugged. It'll come right out of you.
I mean, I'd chug it after the first wind sprint and then I get back to run a wind sprint.

Speaker 1 So it wouldn't be my first time I'd thrown up and run more wind sprints. Spoken like a true warrior.
Shout out to those college wind sprints.

Speaker 1 Fuck, that's the only time anything would ever make me want to throw up while I ran.

Speaker 1 That does it for no dumb questions brought to you by Mint Mobile.

Speaker 1 That premium service with your money in your pocket. How about that? Saving them dollars, man.

I'm ordering it right now. Talking about a roller coaster of flavor.
Should I make it a lettuce wrap? I can make it a lettuce wrap.

Speaker 1 Don't do that.

Speaker 1 Jason, if you're going to be a man, be a man. All right.
You don't go to Shake Shack to get the lettuce wrap. All right, I'm doing it.
It's like going to Taco Bell and getting a salad.
