Speaker 2 Thank you to our partner, Boar's Head. Ooh, a little meat.

Speaker 2 The end of the season is in full swing, and you know what that means. Time to eat meat.

Speaker 1 Millions of fans are turning their homes into game day headquarters every weekend.

Speaker 2 Gosh, and whether you're hosting a watch party at home or tailgating before a big game, you gotta feed the crowd.

Speaker 1 You gotta feed the crowd. That's where Boar's Head comes in the clutch.
Yes. Their platters are literally a game changer.
We're talking premium meats, cheeses, dips, and more.

Speaker 1 What's your go-to deli platter, Jason?

Speaker 2 I mean, any of them.

Speaker 2 Dude, anything that combines crackers, meat, cheese, and mustard, it doesn't matter what kind it is. You got Pepper Jack, you got Provolone.

Speaker 2 You got cheddar. You got beer cheese.
You got salami. You got kilbasa.

Speaker 1 There you go.

Speaker 2 Don't be all archy with me. Ritz crackers.
Maybe you could do some of those like whole grain thick boys that are around. Those are kind of nice too.

Speaker 2 If you want to be kind of different, you go with like a wheat thin. If you really want to elevate your game day spread and score big with your entire home gating, that's tailgating at home.

Speaker 2 Visit your local Boarshead Deli. They'll hook you up with a ready-made platter.
Ooh. Or you can build on your own.
There you go.

Speaker 1 Either way, you're upgrading your game day with some serious flavor.

Speaker 2 Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 How about it?

Speaker 2 It's just a great name, too. Over 100.
Yeah, you know what you're getting. Boarshead.

Speaker 4 Wait, so Reese's color is orange, and the Oreo cookie was invented in 1912.

Speaker 4 This one's been in the vault waiting for its moment.

Speaker 3 Reese's Oreo.

Speaker 4 The biggest drop since, well...

Speaker 1 Falcons 100% did that shit and were found guilty of tampering.

Speaker 2 Kirk is such a good dude. He doesn't even know that he's even doing something wrong.

Speaker 1 Wearing chains, shirtless on planes. I just met him today, actually.
Talking.

Speaker 2 Talking. Yeah, we talked.
We were having lunch. What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 Fuck. We talked about your mom.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Welcome back to New Heights, ladies and gentlemen, presented by Wave Sports and Entertainment. And brought to you by Crown Royal.
When you live generously, life will treat you royally.

Speaker 2 Believe it.

Speaker 1 We are your hosts. I'm Travis Kelsey.
This is my big brother, Jason Kelsey.

Speaker 1 Happy Father's Day to everybody out there, Jason. Happy Father's Day, dude.

and subscribe. And Jason, let the people know what we got coming up.

Speaker 2 We got a great episode for all United Jupersenters out there. We're going to be talking a little bit of Chiefs minicamp, wide receiver market, let's go, NFL tampering accusations.

Speaker 2 Ooh, we're not talking about well, we actually are going to get into verdicts a little bit.

Speaker 2 We're going to talk about the verdicts of these accusations, anyways. Uh, we got a great show lined up for you guys, as always.
And we're going to start off first with uh

Speaker 2 something new.

Speaker 1 What's that?

Speaker 2 A little bit of new news.

Speaker 2 I don't know how we got there. All right.
New news. First new news.
Happy Father's Day. We're a little bit late now.

Speaker 2 This episode is going to be coming out Wednesday, but we're recording this on Father's Day. Well, that's right.

Speaker 1 That's a nice Sunday morning record.

Speaker 2 I figured what else would I want to do on Father's Day than

Speaker 2 talk with all my boys on the podcast with Trav and intern Brandon and Jets Jake?

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.
Sounds like a great, a great morning. I feel like Father's Day in the U.S.

Speaker 2 Everybody's like barbecue, hang out with your family. Dad gets to like not be dad.

Speaker 2 You're kind of like still dad. So you're really just being dad.
Yeah. Yeah.
But I was looking at some of these other countries and maybe what they do. I heard a really cool one from Germany.

Speaker 2 But yeah, it turns out pretty much everybody just does what the U.S. does.

Speaker 2 Well, not that they're stealing from us. Is everybody kind of just like, hey, dad, we're just going to give you a bunch of meats that you like to eat and some cool foods and tell you we love you.

Speaker 2 And that's true for the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil. Brazil celebrates Father's Day

Speaker 2 by family gatherings, special meals, often featuring traditional Brazilian dishes.

Speaker 2 Children give their fathers gifts, and many families attend church services to honor and pray for their fathers, which we might have to start going to church because I need somebody somebody praying for me.

Speaker 2 It's a day filled with warmth and gratitude, highlighting the strong familiar bonds in Brazilian culture. It doesn't sound that different.

Speaker 1 I guess the only difference is the exact same. There's nothing going on different down there in Brazil.

Speaker 2 I guess people do go to church because it is a Sunday. So I guess church is a pretty heavily thing in the United States of Father's Day, right?

Speaker 1 If that's what you do, if that's what you're into, yeah.

Speaker 2 This is the cool one: Germany.

Speaker 2 I don't even know if I want to list this one next. I want to save the best for last.
Fuck it. It's in the list.

Speaker 2 Germany has a unique way of celebrating father's day known as watertag or meinertag i don't know if i'm pronouncing either of those right in parentheses that means men's day it's celebrated on ascension day which is the 40th day of easter and falls on a thursday traditionally groups of men go on hiking trips often pulling wagons filled with beer wine and food While it's a day for men to enjoy camaraderie and the outdoors, it is also a family day for those who prefer to celebrate with their children and loved ones.

Speaker 2 I think that's a badass way to celebrate Father's Day. You just load up a wagon with fucking meats and beer and see you guys later.
Just wander into the woods.

Speaker 1 That sounds like your cup of tea.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that sounds great, doesn't it?

Speaker 1 Yeah, until there's bears.

Speaker 2 Well, you take some bear spray with you. You'll be all right.

Speaker 1 Ooh, yeah, nice.

Speaker 1 Good.

Speaker 2 Good point. Just wander off into the woods with your buddies.
Who knows what happens? Nobody's going to ask questions.

Speaker 1 It's men's day. What about just like wandering to the local pub?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's not a bad idea either.

Speaker 1 That way you can just, you can still be, you know, around. You don't have to just wander off into the woods.

Speaker 2 I don't know. There's something manly about going off into the woods with a wagon of beer and meat.

Speaker 1 Why don't you just drive your Tesla into the woods?

Speaker 2 That's because it's not manly.

Speaker 2 It's not as manly as having a wagon.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 2 Great, great tradition, Germany. Thailand.
Father's Day in Thailand is celebrated on December 5th. This is late, but I guess in the southern hemisphere, it's probably roughly the same.

Speaker 2 It's a day to honor both the king and fathers across the country.

Speaker 2 Traditionally, children present their fathers with kana lilies, a symbol of masculinity, and perform acts of respect, such as kneeling at their feet. So I'm kind of on this tradition.

Speaker 2 Many families also participate in community service activities to honor the king's legacy of kindness and generosity.

Speaker 2 So I'm out on honoring kings because I fuck, listen, we're Americans. We don't do royalty.
So fuck kings. But I wouldn't mind Kylie kneeling at my feet.
You know what I mean? This is Father's Day.

Speaker 1 Not fuck kings, but just not into it.

Speaker 1 Also,

Speaker 1 why are you into people kneeling at your feet?

Speaker 2 Maybe feed me some grain.

Speaker 1 You can't be out on kings and in on people

Speaker 1 bowing.

Speaker 2 I'm not into any any people bowing. I'm into my children bowing to me and showing me respect, goddammit.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 why is bowing at your feet a sign of respect?

Speaker 2 I'm not bowing at my feet. Kneeling at my feet.
And preferably, Kylie can feed me grace.

Speaker 1 Kneeling at your feet are a sign of respect.

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 2 In Thailand, that's what they say.

Speaker 2 I want them to kneel at my unwashed feet and smell the aromas

Speaker 2 into what their leader's

Speaker 2 scent

Speaker 2 is protruding. So the next time they think about questioning whether it's bedtime or not, they know.
I just put my feet up and they're like, oh, gosh, I know what that aroma means.

Speaker 2 It means it's bedtime.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's definitely bedtime for that.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 1 Wash your fucking feet. What else we got?

Speaker 2 Yeah, so Father's Day is going great.

Speaker 2 When's Uncle's Day? Do we know?

Speaker 1 Damn. We need to get on top of that.
When is Uncle's Day?

Speaker 2 Oh, and National Uncle's Day is Friday, July 26th.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit, it's coming up.

Speaker 2 You'll be in training camp.

Speaker 1 I will be.

Speaker 2 What does one do on Uncle's Day?

Speaker 2 Besides call their uncle?

Speaker 1 I think that is as far as it ever needs to go.

Speaker 2 We'll see.

Speaker 2 Maybe we can do something nice for Uncle's Day this year. Uncle Don deserves it.

Speaker 1 Uncle Don deserves it more than anybody.

Speaker 1 He's the greatest uncle to ever fucking live.

Speaker 2 He is. He is.

Speaker 1 And I was just with him on his 70th birthday last weekend, actually.

Speaker 2 All right, let's keep it going. What do we got?

Speaker 1 Ooh, we got some fun beer bowl submissions. That's right.

Speaker 2 Beer bowl submissions are closed. Thank you, everyone, for submitting your beer bowl submissions.

Speaker 2 We have a ton of outstanding, deserving contestants, and it's going to be tough to narrow this one down. We do have...
I guess we should call it controversial video.

Speaker 2 We have some big names that are interested in getting involved in Beer Bowl now, and we are running into the dilemma of do we keep the Beer Bowl

Speaker 2 unique to

Speaker 2 everyday people, or do we allow influencers, former NFL players, media superstars

Speaker 2 into Beer Bowl is the question. Yes.
So we'll show this clip. Here's a clip of two of our good friends, Ross Tucker and our former college teammate and my former NFL teammate and friend Connor Barwin.

Speaker 2 Trying to team up and inner beer bowl. Let's see what it looks like.

Speaker 4 It's Ross Tucker, and I need this.

Speaker 3 I've been retired for 16 years now at this point.

Speaker 4 Jason, you'll find out soon. Travis, a little bit longer down the line.
This is my only competitive outlet.

Speaker 2 Beer bowls, beer games, whatever it is.

Speaker 4 Is it just my friends and I in my garage?

Speaker 3 Yeah, but who cares?

Speaker 4 I also, by the way, won the remote competition during the quarantine via Zoom solo. People from my hometown have proven to be excellent chuggers on the world's biggest stage.
Please give me a chance.

Speaker 4 My partner is your former teammate in college and the NFL, Jason. And our team name, it's the Hasbens.

Speaker 4 Oh yeah, guys, one more thing.

Speaker 4 Even though I am a Labatte Blue guy, I am already prepping for what I'm anticipating the beer bowl.

Speaker 2 The beer bowl. It's delicious, by the way.

Speaker 2 That's a hell of a video. Hell of a video.

Speaker 1 Damn it, man.

Speaker 1 When you send in a video like that, dude, you can't not love Ross, man.

Speaker 2 What a goddamn fuck.

Speaker 1 And now I want to play beer pong with him.

Speaker 1 He's always been a great dude.

Speaker 1 Obviously, I've known him as a football player growing up, but him being in the media and everything now, it's been cool to kind of have combos here and there with a man. But this is awesome, man.

Speaker 1 For him to even send in a video and be a part of it.

Speaker 2 And clearly, they have the drinking prowess. You saw it from

Speaker 2 the trophy he was holding, which is obviously only him and his friends. But that's, I mean, that's a that's good enough.
Connor Barwin and I think are undefeated in beer bowl. You know this, Travis.

Speaker 2 And we are a dynamic beer bowl. Beer pong, not as much, but beer, beer ball, beer ball.
Sorry,

Speaker 1 you, you are probably

Speaker 1 you are probably the number one beer ball player I've ever seen in my life. I haven't seen a lot of beer ball, but that was your fucking game.

Speaker 2 That was it. I got the technique down.

Speaker 1 It's impressive.

Speaker 2 This is the question.

Speaker 2 Do we limit it to

Speaker 2 regular everyday people, or do we include

Speaker 2 superstars? Let's just call it what it is. Ross Tucker and Connor Barner superstars.

Speaker 1 I think it's unfair if we don't, and I think it's unfair if we do.

Speaker 1 Such a good question.

Speaker 1 I think it's fun if it's just the 92 percenters, but I do think it's fun if we have some sort of like one-off. Like, oh, if Ross and Connor are like

Speaker 1 in on this thing, like maybe you have to compete against them in a contest. I think Jason kind of proved that

Speaker 1 NFL drinkers outweighing regular like civilian.

Speaker 2 It's weight classes.

Speaker 1 It's weight classes. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 We talked about about this with Bruce Lee and

Speaker 2 Havana.

Speaker 1 We did. We did.
But some guys can just drink.

Speaker 1 I feel like that argument is

Speaker 1 combated with the person that just won the hot dog eating contest. The lead eating contest.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 Like

Speaker 1 weight class in that regard isn't that's because it's always the skinnier person that wins those events.

Speaker 2 I mean, this is essentially what we're doing too. You have the Olympics hat on your head.
The Olympics used to be only for amateur athletes. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Not professionals were not allowed to participate. Ross, a Labatte blue guy, is a professional beer drinker, right? Professional.

Speaker 2 Can we open it to professional drinkers or do we leave it a simply amateur event that celebrates drinkers across this country?

Speaker 2 Mainly in Philadelphia and Kansas City are probably the biggest two contributors. But we'll say across the country.
That's pretty, it's pretty national now.

Speaker 1 Having a guy like Ross and Connor, even at the event, would be amazing. To have him in it would be electric, but those are two massive human beings.
Or at least they were at one point.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 they're still bigger than most. They're still bigger than most.
I think Connor is around 230. I think Ross might be, he's around that too.
Maybe a little less, a little more. I don't know.

Speaker 2 They fluctuate in that lighter tight end bodies now.

Speaker 1 What are you? Are you a heavier tight end right now or what?

Speaker 2 I mean, I'm 270. I've been fluctuating between 275.
280s now.

Speaker 1 275 and and 280 is what i've been fluctuating between you got to get it down coach you got to get it down i'm good i'm feeling pretty good no i just saw you run a 5k you need to get that thing down i'm still 295 when i ran that

Speaker 2 i hadn't started the diet yet all right there's some way we can incorporate big ross and connor into the games i think it is also uh we'll find a way to incorporate everybody though because it's easy it's all just about having fun yeah but hey ross unbelievable video.

Speaker 2 Thank you for that.

Speaker 1 That fucking made my day.

Speaker 2 For those of you that submitted your entries, we just want to thank you. Obviously, the beer bowl doesn't exist without you.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So

Speaker 1 I think it's about time we should probably tell the 92%ers the truth of the beer bowl. Unfortunately, I will not be attending this year.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah, true.

Speaker 1 I love you, 92%ers, but I got a lot of shit I'm doing right now. And unfortunately,

Speaker 1 when we kind of timed up this

Speaker 1 calendar,

Speaker 1 I wasn't aware that we were going to do the Beer Bowl this weekend, which is always attached to the Eagles' autism.

Speaker 2 It's always the last

Speaker 2 Wednesday before July 4th, but that's fine. Yeah, it's fine.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because everybody knows that. And that means that I scheduled some things that I can't necessarily back out of.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 I'm telling you guys this.

Speaker 1 that

Speaker 1 Jason will be there, obviously. He's always there.

Speaker 2 But there will be another Kelsey.

Speaker 1 There will be another Kelsey stepping up in my place that honestly will probably be 10 times better than any episode or any Beer Bowl that ever comes around again.

Speaker 1 And they will probably take my place on New Heights forever. So Kylie Kelsey will be hosting Beer Bowl with Jason

Speaker 2 down at the shore.

Speaker 1 And Kylie, you can't back out. I just said this.
I don't even know if you're available, but if you are.

Speaker 2 Not a bad idea.

Speaker 2 Have you talked I would be.

Speaker 1 No,

Speaker 1 I'm just, I think this would be awesome. I'm just throwing it out there because I can't, I can't go.

Speaker 2 So, this is my way of making things better. And just you got it, Kai.

Speaker 2 You got it. All right, we'll see.
Maybe she'll do it. I don't know.
She'd not, uh, yeah, she would definitely be great at it.

Speaker 1 We got to get this thing live streamed so I can watch it as

Speaker 1 this thing goes down.

Speaker 2 Maybe I ask her today on Father's Day. She can't say no on Father's Day.

Speaker 2 There we

Speaker 1 Just ask, just tell Wyatt to ask her.

Speaker 2 That's the way to go. All right.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 2 I'll get on that.

Speaker 1 I need Wyatt pull a favor for me.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 I wish I was there. Obviously, from now on, I'll never schedule anything on a Wednesday before July 4th ever again.

Speaker 1 Love you, 92%ers, but I know you guys will have an absolute blast with it without me. And somebody's walking away with $50,000.

Speaker 2 There we go. And a gold cup.
Yeah, if you submitted your video and you don't get in, just blame intern Brandon. It's all his fault.

Speaker 1 All right, now let's move on to fan mentions of the week. Jason has to race a dog.

Speaker 2 That's right.

Speaker 1 He's talking shit about those little tiny leg animals last week, the little wiener dogs. And Tanya Morrow, our Crown Royal Ray is a glass winner from last week, called Jason out on Twitter.

Speaker 1 That's right. What an honor to be mentioned on the podcast challenge question mark.
How about a race between Jason Kelsey and her dog Louie?

Speaker 1 Let's see if you can outrun those tiny legs in endless energy.

Speaker 1 Make it happen in Texas or Philly. So

Speaker 1 she's down to travel with that little thing. Those little Dash Hounds.

Speaker 2 Dash Hounds.

Speaker 1 The old Dash Hound Derby guy.

Speaker 2 I think it is Dachshund. I don't know why.

Speaker 2 I didn't know if there was a different way these things were spelled. But yeah, Dachshund.
Everybody pointed that out to me on Twitter last week. First of all, I'll beat the fuck out of Louie.

Speaker 2 Very confident.

Speaker 2 How far are we racing?

Speaker 1 Let me see this thing.

Speaker 2 I am murdering that thing. I'm murdering it.

Speaker 1 Dude.

Speaker 2 Let's go. Let's do it.
40 yards?

Speaker 2 How far are we going? Because that thing

Speaker 1 was maybe 15 yards right there.

Speaker 2 I know, but it's got to be at 15 yards, it might be able to keep up. Anything over 10 yards, 15,

Speaker 2 I think I've beaten it at 15. It's got a good getoff.
Anything with short legs, short, little stubby legs, it's going to have a little quick, little quick getoff.

Speaker 1 That's why you are, you're, that's like me versus you, really. You're the dox home.

Speaker 1 So you think, you think you can beat it in like a 20-yard, 15, what about a 10?

Speaker 2 I mean, I think I'll beat it in anything because

Speaker 2 I just think I'm faster than Louis. But I think a 20, I think 20 yards feels about right.

Speaker 1 15. We got to go 15.
15. 15 has a chance is what you're saying.
So we need to give it a chance.

Speaker 2 Why do we have to give it a chance?

Speaker 1 Because you're a fucking human.

Speaker 2 What does that have to do with anything? Why does the dog get to determine the length of the race?

Speaker 1 Because I don't want it to just be you beating a dog. I want it to be a fucking good race.

Speaker 2 Okay, well, as humans, what do we determine as being the fastest human on the planet?

Speaker 1 Hussain Bolt.

Speaker 2 Yeah, 100 meters. So why would we go to 15 yards? That's not the fastest.
That's not, you're not even getting the top end speed at 15 yards. Top end speed is reached like, well, it's close to 15.

Speaker 2 I was about to say. 15 to 20 20 yards is like really when you're at your max.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 So like, what are we, if we're never hitting the top end speed, we're not even, we're just seeing who has the faster getoff.

Speaker 1 Because it has to, it has to be, it has to be the top end speed for a dachshund, too.

Speaker 2 Well, dachshunds are reaching top end way faster.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 I don't, but if it gets to go to top end and I never get to go to my top end, how the heck is that seeing which one's faster?

Speaker 1 Because it's 15 yards.

Speaker 2 I think it's got to be further than 15.

Speaker 1 I think 15 is the perfect number.

Speaker 2 All right, we're going to do another Truder poll. We're going to let 92% of the turn how far this race is.
We're going to do either 15

Speaker 1 at the dachshund race. Whatever we just watched on that video right there, whatever that distance is.

Speaker 2 I think you're right. It looked about 15 yards.
It looked about 15.

Speaker 1 15 to 20. It might have been 20.
All right, well, let's say this.

Speaker 2 We'll do 20 yards. The dachshund's race was 20 yards.
The international football race is 40 yards. And the third choice will be 100 yards, even though it's 100 meters.

Speaker 2 We're American, so we'll do 100 yards. So those are the three three choices.
Twitter, you guys can decide how far I'm racing this dachshund.

Speaker 2 It's definitely going to have to happen in Philly because I'm not going to Texas to race a dachshund.

Speaker 1 You're going to fucking smoke this dog.

Speaker 2 Yeah, of course I am. I'm going to put my cleats on and I'm going to freaking dust this thing.

Speaker 2 Little short, stumpy legs. The best time to do this might be during the shore week.
Maybe this is something we can do as an attachment to

Speaker 2 the festivities down the shore. There you go.
Dachshund race.

Speaker 1 Challenge accepted, Coach morrow nice final mention of this week jason who

Speaker 1 started on twitter yet again he's a did i yes you are a pro at doing this you've actually been a pro for a long long time stepped away from twitter because it got a little too wild and now you're back at it you're back at it you're stirring the pot we're here there's a lot of xenon fans out there who were not happy jason said the movie sucked i didn't say it sucked i just said next and then admitted to never even seeing it

Speaker 2 i'm gonna be honest the only thing i know about xenon is this picture that they put on the uh

Speaker 2 rundown which is right here we'll show it right now i judge the movie solely off of that picture and i feel strong in that judgment there's no way that's a good movie it's actually a decent it's actually pretty solid you remember this yeah I'm pretty sure it was like in like a spaceship and everything.

Speaker 1 I hope I'm right. I could be wrong.

Speaker 2 I mean, based on the picture, it looks like a spaceship movie. So you liked it.

Speaker 1 I remember not hating it.

Speaker 2 Do you remember the plot? Nope.

Speaker 1 I really don't even remember the plot of Brink.

Speaker 2 Brink? Team Puppin' Suds? Gosh, what was it? There's like another group,

Speaker 2 the elitist kids and Team Puppin' Sub is like the ragtab group of like just friends. Ah, the older people

Speaker 2 versus Global Times.

Speaker 2 They're basically saying you should compete for love of sport and your friends and community as opposed to like selling out to like big conglomerates and

Speaker 2 be all just about winning. It's not what the meaning of sports is.
I think that's essentially what Brink is about.

Speaker 2 Xenon, Girl of the 21st Century.

Speaker 2 I just, I think there's a 0% chance I like this movie, but

Speaker 2 I do feel a little bit

Speaker 2 responsible to at least view it. So

Speaker 2 I guess I'll watch this. I'll probably watch it with Wyatt.
I think Wyatt might like it.

Speaker 1 Nice. Yeah.

Speaker 2 good. Maybe that's something I do for other days.
Maybe a little Xenon, girl of the 21st century with

Speaker 2 Y.

Speaker 1 With baby Y. Let's see what Y thinks of it.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 2 We're going to give it a gander, and I'll get back to you on whether it's good or bad. But I mean, I just think based on the cover, there's a 0% chance it's going to be a good thing.

Speaker 1 You got to erase it. Don't even look at the cover.
Don't even erase it.

Speaker 2 I think they've got a little bit

Speaker 1 of thought process.

Speaker 2 They're like in full pink.

Speaker 2 Like tight jumpsuits. I don't even know what that is.

Speaker 1 It's the 21st century, Jason.

Speaker 2 Jesus. We're in the 21st century.

Speaker 6 This is a real good story about Bronx and his dad, Ryan, real United Airlines customers.

Speaker 7 We were returning home, and one of the flight attendants asked Bronx if he wanted to see the flight deck and meet Catherine Andrew.

Speaker 2 I got to sit in the driver's seat.

Speaker 8 I grew up in an aviation family, and seeing Bronx kind of reminded me of myself when I was that age.

Speaker 6 That's Andrew, a real United pilot.

Speaker 8 These small interactions can shape a kid's future.

Speaker 2 It felt like I was the captain.

Speaker 7 Allowing my son to see the flight deck will stick with us forever.

Speaker 8 That's how good leads the way.

Speaker 1 Let's keep this moving to some NFL news because that's what we are. 92%ers we're a football podcast.
That's right. Are we? We're footballers.

Speaker 1 Jason, not so much anymore, but once a footballer, I was a footballer. Believe it.
And yeah, maybe we talk a little at Chiefs Mini Camp because that's over. Man, that just ended

Speaker 2 last weekend.

Speaker 1 It was fun. It was always fun.
Do a couple days of competing

Speaker 1 and then run a quick conditioning test or at least get introduced to what the conditioning test might be at Trading Camp.

Speaker 2 What is your guys' conditioning test?

Speaker 1 It initially was...

Speaker 2 Half-gassers? 15.

Speaker 1 Yeah, 15 half-gassers.

Speaker 2 15's a lot. Yeah.
It's a lot of running. It is.
It's really not that much when you think about it. Like, you should be able to do 15.

Speaker 1 I mean, they're all timed. They're all timed.

Speaker 2 So, I guess we'll say this: conditioning tests are really there for the most part, not to see if you're in shape. It's more to see if they're worried that you're going to die.

Speaker 2 It's more of a liability thing for the teams.

Speaker 2 They just want to make sure you haven't done nothing and that you won't have a heat stroke out on the field. This is a good point.

Speaker 1 This is a good point.

Speaker 2 So, 15 is a good test. It's not that much.

Speaker 1 You're crazy. But it's

Speaker 1 you wouldn't be able to go out there and run 50 seconds.

Speaker 2 First of all, I'm an offensive lineman.

Speaker 1 You can do 20 seconds. Yeah, you would.

Speaker 2 I could do it, but I'm also an offensive lineman. They don't make me do it.
That was the one nice thing about being the lightest offensive lineman.

Speaker 2 I just had to do the offensive lineman conditioning test, which is usually less than what the other guy, or at least slower time. So I'm like coasting.

Speaker 1 Not an Andy Reeves camp.

Speaker 2 I would always just try and win all of them on purpose, though.

Speaker 2 We did striders for the most part.

Speaker 1 That's not conditioning.

Speaker 2 The last few years, we had 60-yard shuttles incorporated into it. I'm actually better on the shuttles because you know me.
I'm good at turns. I know how to turn.
Great turner. It's that hockey.

Speaker 2 I'm telling you, it's hockey.

Speaker 1 This guy can bend. Hockey stops.

Speaker 2 Because when you stop in hockey, you know how to use both feet. You know how to use both feet when you're turning.

Speaker 2 And I feel like most people that just run, you only think about using your outside foot.

Speaker 2 And it's just not how it happens.

Speaker 1 Well, a lot of guys, believe it or not, don't have the ankle flexion to get that inside foot at the right angle.

Speaker 2 Is that what you think it is? I just think it's because they've got to be.

Speaker 1 You remember when you were talking about Gumby and how I'm always able to move around. It's good ankle flexion.
Yeah, my knees and ankles are underneath me.

Speaker 2 I think the ankle flexion is part of it. I think hip flexibility is too, like being able to sink your hips into a turn properly and not have to like bend at the waist.

Speaker 2 I think also it's the hockey. Most hockey players I know use both legs when stopping and turning more efficiently than people that never skated.

Speaker 2 But either way, yeah, we had like six seconds to run 40 yards for our conditioning test. It was a joke.
I would still run them full speed, though.

Speaker 1 God, I should have played off with the vine.

Speaker 2 Oh, should we say what a half-gasser is?

Speaker 1 It's across the field, it's sideline to sideline, which

Speaker 2 essentially is 50 yards and back.

Speaker 1 Yeah, 52.5, I think.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's a little bit over. I didn't want to, it's something like that.
Yeah, across the field, back. The turn really sets it.
Like, if you just ran 100 yards, it'd be like coasting.

Speaker 2 But that turn halfway through is

Speaker 1 it's like that stop, stopping and half, having

Speaker 1 after like 10,

Speaker 1 10 seconds, like the

Speaker 1 not 10 seconds. Well, essentially it is 10 seconds to go down and back, but

Speaker 1 10 seconds there, 10 seconds back. I'm getting way too into this.
All right. So a half-gasser is down and back.

Speaker 1 And my group,

Speaker 1 the like middle skill, like the linebacker.

Speaker 2 They call them big skill.

Speaker 1 There you go. Big skill.

Speaker 2 Tight ends, running backs, quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 The running backs are

Speaker 1 running backs are skill.

Speaker 2 Are they? Yeah.

Speaker 1 So it's just linebackers. All right.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 So linebackers,

Speaker 2 tight ends, quarterbacks. What about outside backers? Those are big.
No, those are big guys.

Speaker 1 Backers or backers.

Speaker 2 Backers or backers.

Speaker 2 Yep.

Speaker 1 And then specialists. Specialists are with us.

Speaker 2 Got it.

Speaker 1 Yeah. We run 18 seconds down and back.
You got to make it across the line in 18 seconds.

Speaker 2 I mean,

Speaker 2 it's a brisk pace.

Speaker 1 And you do that 15 times.

Speaker 2 After about eight. That's really when it sets in.

Speaker 1 That's when you start, that's when your mind starts to kind of go like, man,

Speaker 1 i wish i would have

Speaker 2 would have ran a little bit more i wish i would have ran a little bit more

Speaker 2 wish i would have god damn it it's really like there's there's the first two where the first two is like god i gotta get geared up here then after two you're like all right huh i'm coasting i got this in the bag and then right around eight or ten you're like god damn i got six more of these motherfuckers

Speaker 2 just one at a time just one at a time one at a time deep breath at a time stand up big catch the air up high don't bend over Yep.

Speaker 1 And then you got to get out of that turn, though. You got to hit that.
You got to hit that line. And you got to get out of that turn.
Get a good five to six steps of just a quick burst.

Speaker 1 And then you can just strive that thing out from that point on.

Speaker 2 The key to the half-gasser is the start and the turn. Get out to a good start, coast, good turn, coast.
If you try and run that whole thing full speed, you're not making 15. Yeah.

Speaker 2 If you don't run it fast enough, you're out after one. You got to redo it again tomorrow.

Speaker 1 I I can hate to see it. No tap outs, voice.

Speaker 2 Mini camp was good, though. You guys got a lot of accomplishments.
You guys also had a bunch of rookies in camp, a lot of rookie receivers.

Speaker 2 You had some draft pick, tight end. That's right.
Jared Wiley.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Jared. J.Y.

Speaker 2 You had a quote on the 2024 fourth-round pick. He's got a big upside, comfortable, smart guy.
He's a lot further along than I was as a rookie. That's

Speaker 2 a lot.

Speaker 2 Yeah, what do you mean further along?

Speaker 1 I guess when I was coming in,

Speaker 1 I kind of had to like rethink this after I said it after the interview. And it's just,

Speaker 1 I have a completely different offense.

Speaker 1 I had a completely different offense when I came in than he did. And

Speaker 1 I think my skill set obviously is

Speaker 1 for this type of offense that I'm in now, more so than, you know, the

Speaker 1 run first type offense that we had with Jamal Charles when I first got into the league. And that being said, I see a lot in

Speaker 1 Wiley Jared that suits this offense way better than I suited the offense that I was in when I first got here. And

Speaker 1 that's kind of how I initially feel. I'm like, man, he's light years.

Speaker 1 He's making way more plays.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? He's way more comfortable in how he's

Speaker 1 running routes, how he's seeing the field.

Speaker 1 And I think that's a test to how smart he is.

Speaker 1 And I think

Speaker 1 he's got a good feel of like feeling voids and being open. And then, on top of that, you put the ball anywhere in his vicinity, he's making the catch.

Speaker 1 Like, he's got great hands, he's a big guy, he's go up and catch the ball over his head. Um, that is, if you throw him a jump ball, he can go and get it.

Speaker 1 If you throw it on the ground or by his toes, he can go and get it. Um, so you just see a lot of upside and a lot of opportunities for him to, you know, at least be accountable in the receiving game.

Speaker 1 Um, and then we'll slowly start to find out when we got pads on everything you could do in the run game and on the perimeter in terms of blocking and really turn him into a Swiss Army knife like the tight end position is used.

Speaker 2 Absolutely.

Speaker 2 You guys also have Pat Mahoming trying to learn a knuckleball, which let's be honest, if he's trying to learn a knuckleball, this has nothing to do with being a better quarterback because nobody wants to catch that.

Speaker 2 He just, I think, got inspired by watching the Padres, Waldron dude, who has a nice one, apparently. Yeah, this is him throwing one, which

Speaker 2 is why it's fun doing stupid stuff like this, right?

Speaker 2 You got to remember, you're still out there playing a game. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You got to keep it lighthearted, all right? Doing shit like this is, is always a good time.

Speaker 1 Throwing back, throwing behind-the-back passes, doing a whole bunch of just

Speaker 1 stuff you would in the backyard

Speaker 1 playing with your boys as a kid, you know?

Speaker 2 Do you think defense coordinators are seeing this and like wondering if they have to get

Speaker 1 nobody and Pat wouldn't even think about throwing a knuckleball on purpose.

Speaker 2 There's sometimes there's a few of them that

Speaker 1 if you throw it with the right spin rate,

Speaker 1 you add wind to it, it'll

Speaker 1 knuckle on you a little bit now. And that way it turns from this catch, it just turns to like

Speaker 1 get it to the body, find a way to get it to the body.

Speaker 2 Dude, I was running a little like 10-yard out route and warm-ups before the fourth preseason game because I was bored one year when Carson was a quarterback.

Speaker 2 He threw a ball and

Speaker 1 killing it in minute game, by the way. Keep going.
Nice.

Speaker 2 I don't know if it's the spin it had or if what you're saying, the wind kind of was taking it, but it felt like that thing was like,

Speaker 2 it wasn't like it was like a full knuckle, like moving all over. It just was like almost like.

Speaker 1 It had a little like snake weed to it.

Speaker 2 It had such a vicious spiral that it was like almost like wobbling as it was coming to me, if that makes sense.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's 100%.

Speaker 1 Pat has that ball, he has the splitter, he has this nose dive.

Speaker 1 Sometimes it'll just fucking dive on you.

Speaker 2 Do you know the moment it's like in the air which one it is, potentially, or is the wind the dynamic?

Speaker 1 No, no, you can tell, you can tell sometimes how it comes off the hand that it's going to be just a little bit funky.

Speaker 2 It's like, oh, I'm not going to go at this with just my hands. I'm going to go at this with my body because it's a little bit more of a wild card.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And the hard ones are the ones where it's like a timing throw and you don't necessarily see it come out of his hand. You see it like halfway to you.

Speaker 2 Are we coming to you? Yeah.

Speaker 1 And you just got to kind of like.

Speaker 2 Just got to make it right.

Speaker 2 Another big thing at Minicamp was our man Chris Jones, friend of the show, had some outstanding

Speaker 2 Stone Cold Jones double birding it.

Speaker 1 Kids, don't go out here double birding your teachers,

Speaker 1 adults.

Speaker 1 You can double bird your friends. That's fun.

Speaker 2 It's got to be the right situation.

Speaker 1 Don't double bird any strangers. It's not cool, man.

Speaker 2 Well, I mean, if they deserve it, they deserve it. But let's reserve it for deserving people.
Don't just whip them out out of nowhere. I mean, you can't.

Speaker 2 Chris Jones on the Chiefs bringing back the entire defensive line. They graded my owner an F.
I got two middle fingers for them. He's an A-plus of my book.

Speaker 2 The funniest part about this is he is double birding his friends. He's double-birding all of his teammates.
Damn, that wasn't NFL TA.

Speaker 2 That's pretty good.

Speaker 2 Peace out.

Speaker 1 That's pretty good.

Speaker 2 I love it. I think it's great.
It's also good that Chris is now back in good graces after the holdout from last year. Obviously, things are going great with the defensive line.

Speaker 2 And it seems like everybody with the Chiefs, everybody's happy with their current situation, it seems.

Speaker 1 Everybody is.

Speaker 1 And everybody was happy last year. Obviously,

Speaker 1 Chris probably wished it

Speaker 1 played out a little bit different, but we're.

Speaker 2 It worked out well. He won a Super Bowl and got his contract.
It's fun. Exactly.

Speaker 1 Everybody was still excited to go to work every single day. Like, I hope everyone knows that it was business.

Speaker 1 You know, Chris is a guy that when he's in the building, he's the best player that you can have on your team. And that's why we love him, man.

Speaker 2 Well, he was also asked about retirement.

Speaker 2 And he said, once you begin thinking about things like that, you get into feed the mind, those types of thoughts. He said, I don't even want to take my mind to go that far to the R-word.

Speaker 2 We've got more years. I don't know, though.

Speaker 2 Travis is pretty fucking old.

Speaker 2 I'm only like three years older than you, man.

Speaker 2 Oh, goodness. Yeah, do you have any responses to

Speaker 2 Chris other than you guys are pretty much the same age?

Speaker 1 No, we're not the same age. I'm three years.

Speaker 2 That's a lot of years.

Speaker 1 Three years in just like football world. I think you'll be 35 this year.

Speaker 2 So Chris is 32, 31?

Speaker 1 No, Chris isn't even 30, I don't think.

Speaker 2 Oh, so you're quite a bit older than him. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 I'm probably five or six years older than him, but like I have three more years in the NFL over him, I think. Which means I stayed longer in college.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 I'm with him on the I don't really even think about it

Speaker 1 until somebody asks me about it.

Speaker 2 Yeah, until you're forced to think about it.

Speaker 2 Let's be honest.

Speaker 2 You think about it sometimes during really hard times of your body. You're like, man, how much longer can I do this? But it's in passing.

Speaker 2 It's more so. It's not like a legitimate thought.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's a thought that's like, I love playing this game at the highest level possible. And I love playing at it at a level where I know I can have

Speaker 1 a bunch of success. I know I can still go out there and moss a dude in the end zone.
I know I can go out there and catch a flat route and turn it into a 15, 20-yard gain and make a few guys miss.

Speaker 1 The moment that I can't do that, I think that's when I'm just going to be like, all right, what am I doing this for?

Speaker 1 Like, I get excitement out of catching a ball, splitting a bunch of defenders, and getting a huge first down when I was, you know,

Speaker 1 nobody expected me to do it. You know, or I scored a huge touchdown in a playoff game

Speaker 1 in the fourth quarter when the team needed it the most. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 The moment that I can't do that and I'm only and I'm playing it at an average or a less of a successful level that I am right now, I think that's when I'm probably going to call it quits.

Speaker 2 I mean, this is ultimately what ended up being why I chose to step away. I just don't think I could play it at the level that I used to play it at, even though people might disagree with that.

Speaker 2 I know it because I remember being out there last year and not being able to execute it the way I wanted to.

Speaker 2 But I think he also talked about like the R-word and people starting to think about retirement.

Speaker 2 I do think I've heard this before, like the moment you start thinking about retirement, you're already retired or whatever. I was thinking about retirement four years ago and I played for four years.

Speaker 2 So I'm not buying that bullshit. I think if you're even remotely being honest with yourself,

Speaker 2 people start thinking about this in the league later in their career when it gets harder to continue doing it and your body, you're fighting your body more and more to continue doing doing it.

Speaker 1 I was fighting my body the first year I got in the league.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Fighting my body is just a part of the game, man.

Speaker 1 That's not what's going to chase me out of the National Football League.

Speaker 2 Part of it.

Speaker 1 I think you were very fortunate that you were able to

Speaker 1 go out on your terms. And that's the goal.
That's the goal.

Speaker 1 If I can go out on my terms and not have something happen to my body, like a big-time injury to where I have to step away, that's the biggest goal in football to be able to do do it on my terms.

Speaker 2 Yeah. And I'm not, there's two parts of fighting your body.
There's a fight in the body to like get it ready to play or to like deal with pain and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 That's actually not the kind I'm thinking about. That's like you'll find this, and this is when you're going to start knowing it's whenever this time comes that you need to walk away.

Speaker 2 It's the fight in your body to like, you used to be able to do something that like you can't do anymore. And like, that's when it's like, you're fighting that to continue to get that back.

Speaker 2 And I think that's when it's like, you know, it starts to just become become hard. So I think

Speaker 2 bottom line is everybody knows when it's time for them.

Speaker 2 For the most part, I mean, I guess some guys come back. Actually, a lot of guys come back.
But I also think part of that's because your body starts feeling really good when you're retired. But

Speaker 2 it's pretty amazing when you're not playing football. How much better do you feel? So, yeah, everybody will know when it's time for them.
Chris Jones says you're playing six more years.

Speaker 2 So you'd be

Speaker 2 40 going on 41.

Speaker 1 I think I'd just be going on 40.

Speaker 2 No, you'd be going on 41 because you're going on

Speaker 2 35 right now. 38, 39, 40.

Speaker 2 You'd be 40.

Speaker 1 So I turned 35 this year.

Speaker 2 That's a year. Yep.

Speaker 1 36 next year. 37 the year after that.
38 the year after that. 39 the year after that.

Speaker 2 Nice. You're right.
I know. Well done.
I know.

Speaker 1 Listen.

Speaker 2 Math genius.

Speaker 1 This is my shit, man.

Speaker 2 Got to just use the numbers. You got to use the fingers.
I'm rain man.

Speaker 1 You've fucking put me on a roulette table. I will fucking make it rain.

Speaker 2 Good job. Good job.

Speaker 1 He was blackjacked too. He was actually doing real math.
I just do speaking into existence math.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 1 Here we go. Keep this thing moving.
Last bit of Chiefs news. We got our Super Bowl rings, and it was a fucking unbelievable night.

Speaker 2 Congratulations.

Speaker 1 And the ceremony was broadcast live. everywhere across the globe if you uh haven't caught wind of who all was watching nice Nice.

Speaker 2 There we go.

Speaker 1 It was a fun evening.

Speaker 1 It's always good to see teammates that aren't with you anymore.

Speaker 1 Got to see my guy, Nick Alec Bredty, Marquez Valdez-Scantling, who's up in Buffalo now.

Speaker 1 Nikki's over in D.C. with the commanders.

Speaker 1 It's just, it's always, it's fun to just get the, get the crew back together. But honestly, I think Pat said it best when we were on the field for our last mini camp practice earlier that day.

Speaker 1 He said, Yeah, let's go enjoy this evening, but let's put this thing,

Speaker 1 let's put this thing in the rear view, man. Let's put this in the almanac.

Speaker 2 Let's be what it is.

Speaker 1 Let's keep this thing moving, man. We got a lot we want to do, and we're very focused

Speaker 1 to keep our eyes on the prize. But it was a fun evening, man.
It was a good deal. Well, that's awesome.
The Hunt family did an absolutely amazing job. The venue was beautiful.
The music was awesome.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 there were a bunch of, it was cool to just be around everybody in the organization under one roof. It was cool.

Speaker 2 Well, let's take a look at this bad boy. They keep getting more and more just obstentious.
No, that's not a word, doesn't even sound like a word. Ostentatious.
Thank you, Brandon. Fuck.

Speaker 2 529 diamonds and 38 rubies. Totals 14.8 carats.

Speaker 2 Four Marquise diamonds. Is that for MBS? No.

Speaker 1 Marques. Marquise.
I'm trying to get my guy Marquise a rating.

Speaker 2 Four Marquise diamonds represent the franchise's four Lombardi trophies.

Speaker 2 The base of the trophies are made from 19 custom-cut baguette diamonds, distinguishing the Chiefs as the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowls in 19 seasons.

Speaker 2 Has the game-winning Tom and Jerry play on the inside. That's dope.
Very, very cool. Yes.

Speaker 2 One major little goof on the ring, Miami, is listed as the seven seed because it has you, all of the games you guys had to win to get there. Miami was actually the sixth seed.

Speaker 2 I guess it's just that's just the way the ring is. Nobody's going to, are you going to get it fixed? I don't give a shit.
Does anybody care?

Speaker 1 I like it that it's that we didn't give a fuck about what seed Miami was in.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they were the seventh. Who cares? They could have done no seeds on the side of them.
I would have been fine.

Speaker 2 That's my thing.

Speaker 1 I think it makes it more unique. Like, oh, yeah, and we, we've, we made it really detailed, and oops, we screwed up.
This makes it more exclusive.

Speaker 1 Like, uh, it's something we screwed up about something that means nothing.

Speaker 2 So awesome design. I do think that this looks cool.
I like the way it's in the football. You guys have you three Super Bowl rings.
Of the three Super Bowl rings, which ring?

Speaker 2 Not which one means the most as far as like in your head, like favorite one you have, just aesthetically, which of your Super Bowl rings is your favorite?

Speaker 1 I mean, this one's pretty damn cool. This one has,

Speaker 1 it's just, it's massive. It has like the kind of like the shape of the oval of the football with like just diamonds going around it.
It feels like a championship ring when you look at it.

Speaker 1 It's like, damn, that thing feels and looks like a championship ring. But I would probably say the one last year was.
my favorite one.

Speaker 1 The top of the ring comes off and you can, it has a clasp.

Speaker 1 You can wear it in different ways.

Speaker 1 And I think if I would ever like wear the rings out in a sense, or like want to represent that team or that Super Bowl, I would probably wear that clasp on a necklace before I would wear that big fucking dude.

Speaker 2 This is my whole problem with Super Bowl rings and what it's gotten to. You can't wear it.

Speaker 2 I fought so hard.

Speaker 2 I fought so hard in 2018 after we won the Super Bowl to get a to get a ring that was just like a big ring, but a wearable ring.

Speaker 2 And I lost like it was like me and like two other guys, and everybody was like, No.

Speaker 2 Put as many diamonds on that motherfucker that they can fit on it. And I'm like, dude.

Speaker 1 I told, I went up to Clark Hunt, I was like, dog, we win another one, man. You just, I don't know how it could get any bigger.

Speaker 1 We're just going to need a brass knuckle of fucking Super Bowl brass knuckle.

Speaker 2 I like those old ones where it's just like a gold ring. It looks like almost like it's like a class ring with a big ass ruby right in the middle of it.

Speaker 1 I don't need the Ray Finkel ring.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 2 I like that. Because I can wear that every every day.
I cannot like, well, first of all, I can't wear mine because I lost it in Chile. But if I had it, I can't wear it.

Speaker 2 Like, it's just, it's, it like rubs your other fingers.

Speaker 1 Ray Finkel was the AFC championship ring.

Speaker 2 Well, this is another question I have. Your guys, do all of your Super Bowl rings say world champion, or do some of them say Super Bowl champions? What do you mean?

Speaker 2 So this ring says world champion on the top instead of Super Bowl championship.

Speaker 1 Because we're world fucking champions.

Speaker 2 I'm just, can I,

Speaker 2 I'm just asking a question.

Speaker 1 What you say, what anybody else says about the NFL not being in

Speaker 2 the world

Speaker 1 and football being about the world and playing up the

Speaker 1 NFL is the top premier league.

Speaker 2 I am not.

Speaker 1 Nobody is beating the Super Bowl champions.

Speaker 2 I'm not. We are the world champions.
I'm not making that argument. I am asking a question.
Of your three Super Bowl rings, do they all say world champions or did they say Super Bowl champions?

Speaker 2 I'm just wondering.

Speaker 1 I have no idea.

Speaker 2 Well, the reason I'm asking is because AFC was not a part of the NFL, right? They were the AFL, right? That's the traditionally how the AFC came in, right?

Speaker 1 Correct.

Speaker 2 Before the Super Bowl, it was just world champion. And then I think the Super Bowl got confirmed into the NFL once the NFC and AFC merged.
So it's like world champion still like a nod to like the AFL

Speaker 2 like

Speaker 2 rings.

Speaker 1 No, I don't think so.

Speaker 2 I'm just curious because

Speaker 2 most Super Bowl rings say

Speaker 2 Super Bowl champion, right?

Speaker 1 I don't think so because

Speaker 1 Lamar Hunt was, I think, on record creating the name Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 Oh, nice. That's dope.

Speaker 1 It might not have been Lamar, but it was somebody in the Hunt family or somebody in the organization that

Speaker 1 pitched the idea, and everybody kind of was like, Yeah, that.

Speaker 2 So, I'm way off.

Speaker 1 I don't know. It might be.
It might be an underlying thing.

Speaker 1 I don't think the Hunts are into it like that. No, I think they just say world champion because we are the world champions.

Speaker 2 Fair enough. That's easy as that.

Speaker 1 There you go.

Speaker 2 And in other news, I made it to the Super Bowl ring ceremony. Yeah.
Not in person, but in spirit. This wonderful...

Speaker 2 What is it? Is it just like a little...

Speaker 1 It's like a little paperweight or something.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's just like a little figure.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's cool. I like it.
I like it. I don't know why they made it, but

Speaker 2 I like everything about it other than me holding a Super Bowl that I lost, and it is like the death of me. But

Speaker 2 other than that, I think the whole thing is pretty dope. Did you get one for me?

Speaker 1 They said, yeah. They said that I got two.

Speaker 2 So you got one for me? Yeah. I might make it into like a Christmas ornament.
That thing would be cool looking from like a tree.

Speaker 1 There's no thing that's heavy, dude. I think it's solid.

Speaker 2 I'm going to put on a tree. I'm just going to saw off my right arm.
Just going to saw that one off.

Speaker 1 It's metal.

Speaker 2 I'll saw it off.

Speaker 2 They make jets that can cut metal. I'll get it off.

Speaker 2 Good call. I'll take it over to Operation Breakthrough.
They'll get it off for me.

Speaker 1 They'll figure it out.

Speaker 1 Ooh, or you switch it up instead of the last year's Super Bowl or LIBV,

Speaker 1 you get your Super Bowl on there.

Speaker 2 But then it's like I earned the other one, which I'm not. I think I'm just going to solve it.
Yeah. Or I just add another eye.
So then it's just, they're both Super Bowl 58. Okay, good point.

Speaker 2 I like that it, first of all, this was a

Speaker 2 fucking that was such a fun moment. And then I also love that they kind of give a little nod to Buffalo with the

Speaker 2 Maple Leaf as the uh happy trail right there yeah uh just the belly button hair i mean that's what your belly button hair looks like is it i got a maple leaf yeah all right well now that i don't have a super bowl ring i guess that's the only bit of super bowl

Speaker 2 lore that i have in my house until i get my ring mere made

Speaker 1 Let's keep this thing moving. We actually have some Eagles news too.
The Eagles are officially innocent.

Speaker 2 We're innocent.

Speaker 1 The league announced Thursday that the Eagles did not have contact with then free agent Saquon Barkley during the 52-hour legal tampering period.

Speaker 2 That's right.

Speaker 1 Yeah, thankfully, we didn't

Speaker 2 have any podcasts. I don't know who accused us.

Speaker 1 Might have been the New York Football Giants.

Speaker 1 After reviewing text messages, emails, and other documents related to the signing, the interviewing of Saquon Barkley, general manager Howie Roseman and head coach Nick Siriani and Penn State head coach James Franklin.

Speaker 1 The NFL found no evidence the team violated the tampering, the anti-tampering policy.

Speaker 2 Wonderful. That's right.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 If the quads don't fit, you must acquit.

Speaker 1 There you go.

Speaker 2 Very nice.

Speaker 1 How thrilled would you be to have your text messages received by the NFL?

Speaker 2 Man, I mean, I don't have like anything incriminating on there.

Speaker 1 Nothing incriminating, but.

Speaker 2 But there's something vulnerable about handing over a phone to pretty much any entity.

Speaker 1 Anybody, yeah.

Speaker 2 And the reality is, they already, the government already has it, they're watching everything we do, Trev.

Speaker 1 Dude, I'm not watch away.

Speaker 2 Careful what you say.

Speaker 1 I'm not doing anything illegal. Obviously, of the jokes that I have with my friends and you would probably be the most gas anybody could ever have.

Speaker 2 But I'm not doing anything illicit, but I listen, I am not afraid to type anything into google

Speaker 2 listen

Speaker 2 i'll fucking

Speaker 2 that's how i get more aware of certain things exactly right safe search off i'm in there i got i want to see this shit the falcons were not as uh fortunate as the eagles though and 100 did that shit and were found guilty of tampering kirk cousins who was who would have been the last person i would have thought would have been guilty for anything in life well let alone this kirk is not guilty the falcons are guilty kirk can do whatever he wants that's a good point yeah so the falcons are the ones that are guilty here yeah the league found they had improper contact with kirk cousins darnell mooney and charlie woner warner during the 52-hour legal tampering period atlanta will forfeit its 2025 fifth round draft pick and pay a team fine of 250 000 while general manager terry fonteno uh will pay a fifty thousand dollar fine so a bunch of slap on the wrist, and you get a franchise quarterback.

Speaker 2 Worth it.

Speaker 2 Did we know that Cousins triggered this investigation? The only weird thing is that they then wasted another draft pick on another quarterback. Hey, whatever.

Speaker 2 Did we know that

Speaker 2 Kirk Cousins triggered this investigation himself? I did not know that. Did not.

Speaker 2 Cousins essentially admitted during the introductory media conference that he had contact with the Falcons staff members before free agency officially began. So he admitted it.

Speaker 2 He's unknowingly incriminated himself.

Speaker 1 This is how you know he unknowingly incriminated

Speaker 2 himself.

Speaker 2 His team. His team.
This is how you know that Kirk is such a good dude. He's never done anything.

Speaker 2 Like he doesn't even know that he's even doing something wrong. He's just,

Speaker 1 God damn it, man. He's just so innocent, man.

Speaker 2 Fuck. Just such a great dude.

Speaker 1 He's just wearing, he's wearing chains, shirtless, on planes, man. Fuck.

Speaker 2 Anybody else that has tried shenanigans is like, all right,

Speaker 2 you don't release information like this.

Speaker 1 I just met him today, actually.

Speaker 2 Talking, talking. Yeah, we talked.
We were having lunch. What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 We talked about your mom.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I only get one your mom joke on Father's Day with it.

Speaker 2 You're always ready to be incriminated when you've been in the Kelsey house.

Speaker 2 Not revealing any information.

Speaker 2 Jason, where were you Wednesday?

Speaker 2 Why are you asking?

Speaker 2 I don't remember. I forget.

Speaker 1 I get hit in the head for a living.

Speaker 2 I don't even remember what I did earlier today. You expect me to remember Wednesday? Like the back of my hand?

Speaker 1 You're insane. You're insane if you think I have that good of a memory.
I live life on instincts, okay? I don't live, I don't document things up here in this brain.

Speaker 2 I was hanging out with Eric. No, I wasn't at Eric's house.
I was hanging out with Eric. We were at the park.
No, I wasn't in Fairfax. I was at Canterbury.

Speaker 2 I'm going, I'm bobbing and weaving.

Speaker 2 So there's a question in here on the rundown that says, how aware are players of tampering rules?

Speaker 1 Not very aware at all.

Speaker 2 Well, and the tampering period is confusing because like free agency starts a certain day,

Speaker 2 but

Speaker 2 the league has moved to this tampering period. And I would say that most players have no idea when that tampering period starts.

Speaker 2 If you're going to be a free agent, you just kind of assume that people are going to start calling you.

Speaker 2 And I would say, in all probability, the Falcons are not the only team that reached out to Kirk Cousins during this timeframe. There are probably any team that was interested in reaching out to him.

Speaker 2 Well, fucking time out.

Speaker 1 Time out. They need to get fucking hit, too.

Speaker 2 That's what I'm saying. That's the problem.

Speaker 2 Nobody accuses them. Accusing them up.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 If they're getting my text messages, they better fucking hold everybody fucking accountable here.

Speaker 2 But here's the problem: nobody accuses the teams that didn't sign the player as the ones that were tampering.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but if you're getting emails and shit,

Speaker 1 you better fucking

Speaker 2 everybody accountable. This happens every year.
A team loses a player and they accuse other teams of tampering.

Speaker 2 And the reality is that all of these teams are reaching out to agents and people before the tampering period starts. I'm not believing that any of this is first negotiated on the spot.

Speaker 2 Day one, a tampering period.

Speaker 1 There's no way in hell how we got Saquon Barkley to sign that contract.

Speaker 2 But that was definitely not tampering. It's been confirmed.
They checked the text messages.

Speaker 2 They checked the emails.

Speaker 2 They checked the phone calls.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 No tampering.

Speaker 1 If the quads don't fit, must have quit. Jason, last bit of football news.
What do we got?

Speaker 2 Yeah, we got the wide receiver market just getting reset again. Oh,

Speaker 2 shit. That's right.
Justin Jefferson signed a four-year, $140 million contract.

Speaker 1 I should have been a wide out.

Speaker 1 I should have learned to catch the ball.

Speaker 2 So essentially, the wide receiver market

Speaker 2 has surpassed the tackle market, which I think tackles, it was always around the same, but now the wide receiver market is officially up there. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 Justin Jefferson signed a four-year, $140 million contract to stay with the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah.
What does that equate equate to? Four for $140?

Speaker 1 $34, I think. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Sounds about right.

Speaker 1 Dude, I'm just so good at fucking math.

Speaker 2 It doesn't equate to that exactly. Maybe it's 35.
It's 35. Nope.
It's just under 35. It's 35, exactly.
It has to be an even number because it's an even number. It's 35.

Speaker 2 It's 35. 35.
140 divided by 4 is 35. Are you challenging me on this one, too? No.
Use your fingers. Use your fingers.

Speaker 1 You got it, dude.

Speaker 2 One. You got to go all the way up to 140.

Speaker 1 One, two, what's four for 25?

Speaker 2 What's four times 25? Yeah. 100.

Speaker 1 So you add 40 to that.

Speaker 1 That would be 140.

Speaker 2 140 divided by 4 is 35. That's all I know.
I don't know what math you're doing in your head.

Speaker 1 What? 125 or 25 times 4.

Speaker 2 Why are we doing 25?

Speaker 1 Because that's the easy one. That's the one you already know is 100.

Speaker 2 I don't know where you're at. I'm just doing 140.

Speaker 1 What's 25 plus 10? 35. You do that four times.
It's 40.

Speaker 1 I'm telling you, man, I'm brain manned. You can't fucking get into my mouth.

Speaker 2 Joe, wait, Tim Rotten, are you still saying it's 34? Are you now on 35?

Speaker 1 It's 35, 100%.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 You do it your way. However, you're getting there, you keep getting there.
35.

Speaker 2 Five of the top eight highest paid non-quarterbacks are now wide wide receivers. That is A.J.
Brown, Amon Ra, St. Brown, Tyreek Hill, Jalen Waddell, and CeeDee Lamb.
Jamar Chase are coming.

Speaker 2 Some of these numbers are kind of like happenstance. Like last year, there weren't any a lot.

Speaker 2 Like a lot of these receivers are now up. Like as a percentage of the cap, let's take the A.J.
Brown. I love A.J.
Brown. Let's take the percentage of the cap, though.

Speaker 2 Tyreek Hill signed his four-year contract two years ago in Miami.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'd be three of this this year. Yeah.

Speaker 2 He got a 30 million per year average when he he signed that deal. That is a higher percentage of the salary cap than A.J.
Brown, who's perceptively making more per year because it's 32 million.

Speaker 2 So like when that deal was done, it was taking more away from the cap on average, probably, depending on how it was structured. Yeah.
Justin Jefferson, 35 million.

Speaker 2 Again, that 30 million adjusted, it's probably about the same. It's probably similar.
I don't know. What was the salary cap in 2022? We'd have to do that.

Speaker 2 Anyways, I guess what I'm getting at is all of these numbers that continue to look like they're exponentially higher. A lot of that is due to the salary cap continuing to go up.

Speaker 2 And it's the same thing with quarterbacks. Kirk Cousins signs this deal.
It's like, it's the biggest quarterback contract in history.

Speaker 2 And it's like, well, if you adjust it to like the percentage of what the salary cap is, it's really not that much more than what he should be getting.

Speaker 2 But like when you look at it from that, so like I think sometimes these numbers get thrown out there and people just compare numbers to like previous years. Like it's like bad boob, bad, boom.

Speaker 2 And they kind of, it's not completely accurate. But what is accurate is that five of the top eight highest paid non-quarterbacks are receivers.
The receiver market has gone up.

Speaker 2 And I would say that that kind of started with you guys when you guys had Tyreek,

Speaker 2 when you had MBS, and then who was the other really fast guy? Who's the other really fast guy? Maybe not MBS. Who are the

Speaker 1 legion of Zoom?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Tyree.

Speaker 1 Tyreek, Sammy Watkins, Sammy, Mikole Hardman.

Speaker 2 Mikole was another fast one, but there's a third one that was like really, really fast. It wasn't Sammy.

Speaker 1 Sammy was really, really fast.

Speaker 2 All right, Sammy.

Speaker 1 And then DeMarcus Robinson.

Speaker 1 Am I missing somebody? God damn, I've been playing football for too long.

Speaker 2 I feel like when that offense was so explosive that the entire league put a big emphasis on getting more speed, a lot of that centered around Tyree Kill, just solely as a player.

Speaker 1 I mean, he changed the game, man.

Speaker 2 People were looking for the next Tyreek Hill the moment he was in Kansas City.

Speaker 1 Correct.

Speaker 2 It feels like there's been a big push to get star receivers

Speaker 2 because the explosive offense that was generated by the Kansas City Chiefs. I don't know.
Maybe I'm putting too much on you guys.

Speaker 2 There's also been other, I mean, obviously, what's happened in Miami with the amount of speed that

Speaker 2 I forget whether it's McDaniels or Daniels. Mike McDaniel has accumulated down there.

Speaker 2 You know, what they've done with Shanahan and just getting really, really fast running backs, Raheem Mostert and some of these guys.

Speaker 2 So speed is at an all-time premium in the NFL. Like, I think probably never before, even though speed's always been important, it is a hot commodity, it feels like, in modern-day NFL.

Speaker 1 Speed kills. A.J.

Speaker 2 Brown, he's got speed and size. A little bit dangerous.
I think that that has kind of shifted a lot of teams to push to try and get offenses that are in that mold. Maybe that's just my thinking on it.

Speaker 2 But it feels like it's timed up with the Legion of Zoom.

Speaker 2 Like when Seattle won the Super Bowl, all of a sudden you saw corners getting paid ridiculous money in DBs because they had that the Legion of Doom. They had the backfield with Chancellor and freaking

Speaker 2 Byron Max.

Speaker 1 Everybody sees what's successful and they want that on their own. Exactly.

Speaker 2 I hear you.

Speaker 2 I hear you.

Speaker 1 I think Tyreek definitely started the small, fast guys get fucking paid the most. Right.
He's one of those guys that was like the anomaly.

Speaker 1 Like, oh, he like before Tyreek, you never saw a really tiny, I want to say tiny because he's not that small, but

Speaker 1 you never saw a small receiver get paid the most in the league. It was always the Calvin Johnsons, the

Speaker 1 Julio Joneses, the A.J. Greens.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 2 The Jerry Rice, the Torrey guys, the Randy Mosses. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It was just a different day and age in a different game. Now you can do so much with receivers, you know, the

Speaker 1 jet sweeps, the reverses, the end-arounds, the screens.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's an interesting way of looking at it. When you're as as good as Tyreek is, AJ and Justin essentially.

Speaker 2 AJ and Justin are definitely, I mean, you can do all those gadgets stuff with Justin Jefferson as well, but I would say Jefferson and AJ are pretty prototypical receiver molds. Yes.
Right. Yes.

Speaker 2 I think that this is an interesting point you're bringing up.

Speaker 2 And maybe it's you guys, but it's also the Shanahan offense that utilizes a lot of those gadgety players within it, where Tyreek Hill is a perfect piece for that, which is why he's down there in Miami.

Speaker 2 And then, you know, Jalen Waddle will fit that mold. Monrose Brown fits that mold.

Speaker 2 All of those guys, I would say they can do the traditional receiver stuff, but they're also these like quick, more like dachshund type receivers that can

Speaker 2 yeah, yeah, they're more dachshunded

Speaker 2 in their in their speed. So, yeah, I think that's an interesting take, and I think that makes a lot of sense.

Speaker 2 All right, let's get to some questions about building rosters, though, because traditionally

Speaker 2 you're building, well, I don't even know if that's traditional. Yeah, how would you build a team? Typically, the way I've thought about it is: obviously, quarterback is number one.

Speaker 2 That's the first thing you want, but you build through the trenches. You have to have a great offensive line, a great defensive line, skill position players.

Speaker 1 I'll forever be football's focal point. You can't tell me that you can't get a game without controlling that fucking line of sales.

Speaker 2 Here's, and this is the way I like to say it to people is, like, an offensive line and a defensive line aren't going to win you many games.

Speaker 2 But if you don't have a good one or a really good one, they're going to lose you games. There's going to be games where you're going to not have that trench battle won.

Speaker 2 And typically it's going to be at an important time of the year.

Speaker 1 I've seen a bunch of games won by the offensive line. That's right.
I think

Speaker 2 that's a good thing.

Speaker 1 Yeah, dude. Ending the game with the ball in your hand.
That's how you win a football game in the fourth quarter if you're a...

Speaker 2 But typically that happens because the other trench is so bad. But yes, yeah.

Speaker 1 Dude, I've seen it where it says battle, battle for battle. You're just fighting for three to four yards a pop when you know we're running it.

Speaker 2 All right. I'll give it to you.
I just think, for the most part, the reason you want a great offensive line, offensive linemen can't make plays.

Speaker 1 I hear what you're saying.

Speaker 2 Offensive line is

Speaker 2 a facilitator for skilled players to do their job. Defensive line, maybe it's a little bit different because they are making plays.
They're getting sacks. They're getting TFLs.

Speaker 2 They're doing a lot of things that are stat-driven. Offensive line is more just a position of we need to make sure that the skilled person has an opportunity to be the player that they are.

Speaker 2 If you don't have a good offensive line or good defensive line, you're going to get exposed when you play good trench play.

Speaker 2 And this is really like when you think about like college football, like SEC football, Big Ten football, these are the biggest differences.

Speaker 2 Like there's, believe it or not, there are great skill players in

Speaker 2 MAC schools. There's great skill players in Pac-12 schools.

Speaker 2 100%. There are outstanding skill skill position players in all levels of college football, even Division III.
There's some great players that have come out of Mountain Union and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 But where the real difference is, quite honestly, is like the offensive line, defensive line.

Speaker 2 It is harder to find those guys that can compete at the SEC and Big Ten level at smaller schools, which is why they just can't compete when they get on the same field.

Speaker 2 If you can't establish anything in the trench, it's going to be really, really hard.

Speaker 1 You're right, man. I think that, yeah,

Speaker 1 I think Tyreek was really that first kind of undersized receiver that got paid the fucking Buku Bucks. And now anybody can get that kind of money.
Yep.

Speaker 1 You're only getting that money if you get that opportunity to showcase your talent in that way.

Speaker 2 There's a question on here. Does it make sense for a position group other than quarterback to exceed 20% of a team's cap? I don't even know that it makes sense for a quarterback

Speaker 2 to exceed 20%. But that's up for argument.
It is what it is. Yeah.
My point is, I'm fine with them getting more in dollars than 20% of the cap.

Speaker 2 But if we're a good GM, we should be structuring it so that it's not 20% of the cap. Like there's ways to extend quarterbacks and kick cans down the road.

Speaker 1 Dude, I can see it right now. I can't wait for you to be a GM, man.

Speaker 1 I can't wait, dude. I can

Speaker 1 see it right now. Either way,

Speaker 1 you're so fucking well thought out in this kind of stuff. I can see it right now, man.
You would fucking thrive.

Speaker 2 Well, I got to learn from. I'm just going to start studying under Howie Roseman, School of Howie.

Speaker 1 just keep just go in there with fucking some what's howie's deal does he like biscuits does he like uh you're trying to are you trying to get me to ted lasso howie just ted lasso okay yeah just go in there

Speaker 2 so what are you thinking on this contract that we're uh we got coming up that's funny that's good oh man what is howie howie uh i know he likes tequila he's got his tequila no that's you can't do that tequila's too hardcore well i can't do his tequila but he likes tequila you just got to go in there with like a little treat treat of like, what's the

Speaker 1 sugar-coated

Speaker 1 like frosted flakes stuff?

Speaker 2 I can picture it. Puppy chow, dude.
Is it what's called?

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure it's called puppy chow.

Speaker 1 Don't do that, Tahoe.

Speaker 2 Dude, how do you think of stuff like this? You are such a like people person. Like you just know your gifts, all of it.
Like you just are great at it. I don't know how you do it.

Speaker 1 Just a little something that'll just brighten your day. Just like, God damn it.

Speaker 1 So good. Get off this call and now there's just like a puppy child i don't know how you do this

Speaker 2 favorite delight well i'll have to figure out how i can coax howie roseman into teaching me his uh general managing ways

Speaker 2 even though i'll never probably do that but that's why not i'm just gonna learn why not yeah there you go never say never since 2020 27 wide receivers have been picked in the first round yeah i mean it's listen it's a passing league it is really really hard and now that travis has said this about shorter receivers I have not thought about it that way, but teams have found ways to utilize these Swiss Army knives as

Speaker 2 integral pieces of their offense.

Speaker 1 Very well said.

Speaker 2 And then outside receivers that win one-on-one are always going to be high paid because it's the hardest to double a guy out on the outside.

Speaker 2 Like if you want, if he can win that one-on-one matchup and that's always there, it's very difficult.

Speaker 2 Yeah,

Speaker 2 you got to do some creative things to help that outside corner out. That's why corners and wide receivers have always gotten paid big bucks.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think this is a trend that is going to keep happening until defenses adjust and more just is going to keep happening. We'll see.

Speaker 2 These shorter receivers are, in a lot of ways, are being used as like by H-backs or like as like as like a

Speaker 2 quasi-running back on a lot of this stuff. So like

Speaker 2 Tyreek Hill is like somewhat of a receiver, but he's kind of like an H-back. Like Debo Samuel is kind of like an in-between player.
And

Speaker 2 they're receivers, but they do other things as well. What is of big value in the NFL right now are these players that do multi-things because the league has become so

Speaker 1 creative.

Speaker 2 Well, it's become so multi-offense. Like multiple personnels, like if you can go out there with one personnel, and this is why the San Francisco offense works so well with Debo Samuel and Ush Check.

Speaker 1 Don't forget Dee Kittle.

Speaker 2 Where you have these pieces that can, all of a sudden, you can be in 11 personnel, you can be in 12 personnel, you can be in 21 personnel.

Speaker 1 You got to cover the whole fucking field.

Speaker 2 Yeah, and you can run all of the plays out of all of those different personnels where they have, maybe it's not as strong as being in a legitimate form of it, but it's good enough that like it puts the defense in a bind.

Speaker 2 Am I playing nickel? Am I playing base? Am I playing big nickel? Am I playing man? Am I playing zone?

Speaker 2 It's, it, it, it, it puts a stress as to what offense am I playing.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Let's get some no dumb questions.

Speaker 1 All right, now let's move on to some no-dumb questions because there's no such thing as dumb questions, just two dumb asses answering those questions. All right, now here we are, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 1 92% of no dumb questions is brought to you by Accelerator Active Energy Drake. Cheer, accelerate your life.

Speaker 1 First, no dumb question is from Wrong Championship 593. I believe if you could use a time machine one time only,

Speaker 1 where would you go?

Speaker 2 The old time machine question.

Speaker 2 Interesting. Do you want to go first or do you want me to go first?

Speaker 1 I mean, anytime I think of time machine, I think of Martin McFly.

Speaker 2 Oh, there you go.

Speaker 1 And I think of Doc.

Speaker 1 Back to the future? Yeah, back to the future. So if I were to create a time machine or get in the time machine, I would probably go back to

Speaker 1 the future.

Speaker 2 So you would go back in time, but you can't go back to the future because you can only use it one time.

Speaker 1 I don't even think I would go back. I think I would go to to the future.

Speaker 2 Yeah, this is the question I'm asking. If you can only use it one time, does that mean you can't come back? You're just stuck there.

Speaker 1 Just answer. I think it's just like, if you could use a time machine only one time, where would you go? I would go light years into the future just to see what ends up happening in the future.

Speaker 2 Yeah. I mean, the future is nice.

Speaker 1 I got to see what's happening in the future.

Speaker 1 I really, I like, like, it's cool to maybe see a dinosaur person, but at the same time, it's like, I'm trying to see what the fuck is going on in the future here.

Speaker 2 Right, right, right, right.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 1 Like, do we all turn into computers? Because if so, I want to get a head start on that now.

Speaker 2 I don't know. I feel like I can't go into the future because even trying to relate to like kids coming up now, it's like, man, I am.

Speaker 2 I can't even think about kids 40 years from now. This is going to be weird.

Speaker 1 Dude, what do you mean?

Speaker 2 What's the music going to be in 40 years? I'm going to be like, what the fuck is this?

Speaker 2 Hip-hop in the 90s and hip-hop in the 80s when it was done by like dudes dudes that were living that life is it's way different than like now when it's like auto-tune renditions of like people like and it's the same thing in country music if i have to hear one more country song that's like i'm all i got my boots in my truck going through the fields like what the fuck are we talking about that's not country music that's not country music put on some fucking willie nelson i am tired of country music and what it has become it is horseshit

Speaker 2 horseshit

Speaker 1 i like some of the country music coming out.

Speaker 2 Hey, listen, some of it sounds good. It's the same thing with hip-hops.
It sounds good when you're in a club.

Speaker 1 You a fan of Shabuzi?

Speaker 2 I'd have to listen to it. I might have heard it, but I like.
Oh, you're a good person.

Speaker 2 Like, I can listen to Modern Country and I can listen to modern hip-hop when I'm out in the right.

Speaker 1 Shabuzi.

Speaker 2 When I'm out in the right environment. But like...
Listening to it to really enjoy it, like Willie Nelson, to me, like the way he wrote songs, like Chris Stapleton, obviously, right now. Shout out to

Speaker 2 some pro. He's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying. It's a a bang.
When you're playing the music and got a voice like that,

Speaker 1 that's forever.

Speaker 2 Tried and true. Tried and true.
Anyways, let's get back to the note of question.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Time machine. Where are you going?

Speaker 2 I have my like

Speaker 2 tricky way of answering this. Like the real answer to this is you go to the future when time

Speaker 2 travel is invented.

Speaker 2 Right? So you travel to the future when time travel is invented. So now you can time travel whenever you want because now it's invented.
You go everywhere, yeah. Then you go back in time to when

Speaker 2 before it's invented, kill the guy that invents it. So now you're the only person that can time travel, and then you have a limited time travel.

Speaker 2 You have a limited time travel, and you're the only one who can do it. So you got to leg up on everybody.

Speaker 1 Name that machine. Name that movie.

Speaker 2 Did I just steal a movie plot?

Speaker 1 Instead of Google, it's Lugal. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Lugal?

Speaker 1 Hot tub time machine right there, man.

Speaker 1 What do we got? The next one is from s underscore h a a c k

Speaker 2 We're tacticians.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2 It's the way we're wired.

Speaker 2 We get

Speaker 1 our understanding of angles

Speaker 2 and speed.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And like, I just feel like we'd kill it.

Speaker 2 I think we'd also be good at like a two-man bobsled. I think it'd be a.

Speaker 2 Ooh. I think it'd be a good two-man bobsled team.

Speaker 1 Neither one of us can drive. I don't know if that's the best.
