You know what makes my day? The perfect sandwich. And I mean perfect sandwich.
I'm not going to lie. We love sandwiches.
We do. We love deli meats.
I like cooked meats. I like meats of all kinds.
But if you want deli meats, Boris Head has got you covered. Now I get why people make such a big deal about it.
Their oven gold turkey. Don't even get me started on their ever roasted chicken.
The craftsmanship that goes into each slice. Oh, chef's kiss.
How would you describe your ultimate sandwich? What's going to make it extra special? Extra special. So if I'm trying to be extra special.
Yes. All right.
So we're going to deli sandwich. If I'm going to extra special deli sandwich, I'm going to put some boar's head meat on there.
I'm going to put some healthy layers of cheese, potentially Parmesan cheese. I mean, I guess some fresh Parmesan cheese on top.
Put some hot sauce, put some hot sauce on there. Lettuce and tomato to make you feel like you're being healthy.
Then mayonnaise, healthy dose of mayonnaise and maybe a little bit of mustard, but it depends on what hot sauce you're working with. Bar's Head has been perfecting their legendary ingredients for over 120 years.
From selecting premium ingredients to perfecting traditional methods, Boar's Head embraces true craftsmanship. Whether it's their Smokemaster Uncured Ham or literally anything else they make, you're going to get the real deal.
Head to your local Boar's Head deli counter to discover the craftsmanship behind every bite. Boar's Head, committed to craft since 1905.
All righty, let's talk about the holy grail of candy. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
That's right. You know them.
You love them. And let's be real, you probably have a stash hidden somewhere right now.
Tell me about it. Reese's cracked the code and literally created the perfect combo we're talking about the chocolate shell creamy peanut butter center there is something special about unwrapping that orange packaging and sinking your teeth into a reese's cup that's right that epic combo has been something that has been a go-to snack for many no matter what they're doing and here And here's a pro tip from two Reese's pros here.
Try keeping your Reese's cups in the fridge. It keeps that chocolatey goodness nice and chilled for you.
But be sure to hide it all the way in the back so nobody can take you. You know what I'm saying? Can't have Ed Kelsey sneaking in there at 3 a.m.
Stealing your stash. That's right.
So why wait? See why Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are our favorite. Buy Reese's Peanut Butter Cups now at a store near you.
Found literally anywhere you can find candy. Let's do this podcast.

Also with one S.

Jason, let the people know.

Yes.

Yes, we do.

All right.

We got another great episode for you.

92% or Swifties.

Whoever's tuning in these days,

we're going to talk about Travis hitting some dingers in Cleveland.

All right.

And maybe us trying to buy the Eagles.

What?

Probably.

It's a steep price.

I don't even know.

It just is in the rundown.

I think, in turn, Brandon wants us to say that we're going to buy the Eagles,

but we can't afford the Eagles.

Nor.

Yeah.

What were you about to say?

You don't want to buy the Eagles? What? Were you about to say, you don't want to buy the eagles what were you about to

say nor do you want to buy the eagles no i didn't say that you were you said nor nor do i think

they'd sell the team to both of us well that's 100 true why would they why would they sell the

team yeah no that makes sense all right but first But first, as always, new news. New news.
That's right. Coming in now right now.
Kids' Choice Awards. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey are nominated for a Kids' Choice Award.
You guys are up for Favorite Male Sports Star of the Year. Wow.
All right. Nice.
Man, that is a- That's pretty cool. That's a category.
I'll tell you. Yeah, I'll be a part of that nominee.
This is similar to the Oscar for Best Lead Actor that Roberto Medini won. And Travis, you're up for it.
Yep. All right.
Well, who all's in there? It's me, Pat, and who else? You guys, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey are facing off against Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Lionel Messi, and Stephen Curry. Hmm.
Interesting. That one, what the fuck? That's an incredible list.
This is insane. It's insane that my name's even in there.
Pretty cool. Dude, you're in the same award nomination as Lionel Messi, the greatest soccer player this decade.
The greatest that's ever played. Cristiano Ronaldo, the greatest soccer player of this decade.
There you go. LeBron James.
I think he plays basketball. Yeah, I'm pretty sure him and Steph Curry both are.
And Steph Curry. I think they both are at the top of their game.
Just goes to show you how, you know, impactful the NFL is. I think Pat Mahomes is right up there.
Yeah, no, it makes sense that both you and Pat are in this. The more I think about it, I mean.
It doesn't make any sense. Dude, you guys have won two of the last two Super Bowls.
Yeah, three in the last five. You're going for a third one.
In a row, yeah. In the sport of football, that's pretty ridiculous.
I think the more I think about it, it makes sense. My one question is you can vote at this link.
I'm not going to say the whole thing because it's a long link, but you can vote here. It's the Kids' Choice Award.
Are they vetting to make sure that kids are only voting on this? How do they do that? You got the wrong guy. No vetting.
So it's not the Kids' Choice Awards. It's just the Choice Awards.
No, it's Nickelodeon, so it's kids. Yeah, but how do they know if it's kids? I mean, let's be honest.
Most of the people voting in this might not be kids. Well, they probably are kids.
I mean, dude, if it's kids, you're winning this by a fucking landslide. You think so? You think I got the kids? I don't think it's fun.
I'm just letting you know. My demographic when I used to go outside used to be fat, hairy guys.
That used to be who, like, if I was out in public, was going to stop me and say hey i like you jason kelsey football guys fat hairy guys now i go out in public routinely 14 year old little girls that is like where my bread and butter is at 12 to 14 year old little girls are like oh my god you're the're the brother of Travis Dating, Taylor

Swift! So I don't think there's

a chance in hell that you're not winning this award

if it's truly chosen by children.

Nice, man. Might as well

just give you the award right now. I'll make sure I keep

influencing the kids to do the right things in this

world. Let's just keep doing that.

SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick

Starr will host

the event live on Saturday, July 13th. Yeah, were you ever a big SpongeBob guy? No, you were though.
No, what are you talking about? You used to watch it all the time. I hated it when you watched it.
I did not watch SpongeBob SquarePants. It was that and Dragon Ball Z.
I definitely watched Dragon Ball Z. I got to go outside.
I did not watch SpongeBob like that. You are completely ridiculous.

So what other one was it?

I watched Cartoon Network in general.

SpongeBob was a little-

Oh, Dexter's Laboratory.

That's what it was.

Dexter's Laboratory was a big one.

Ed, Ed, and Eddie.

That was decent.

That was stupid enough to where I could enjoy it.

Silly enough, I'll say.

I'll say silly enough.

It wasn't stupid.

Johnny Bravo.

You like Johnny Bravo.

Yeah, I like Johnny. I could watch Johnny.
He didn't talk much. Yeah, SpongeBob is a great show.
I think it was a little bit late for when we were kids. It was just like a tick.
It wasn't terrible, but I didn't fall in love with it. The way I fell in love with Doug and Hey Arnold.
Doug was great. Hey Arnold, average.
what were the disney ones the rocket uh yeah rocket power rocket power i was in on those for sure what was he not sure there's some other disney ones i was i was with rocket power what was better the disney cartoons or the disney like just like films like brink and johnny tsunami dude those were so good what's your favorite disney era luck of the irish movie the ones that just came out on disney because i'm pretty sure brink didn't like hit theaters yeah that's what i mean the ones that were just like straight to disney channel movies gosh it's such a good one i'd have to see a list i really liked brink brink was so good we were big time uh rollerbladers in the kelsey household hocus pocus is great oh hocus pocus that was a good one top 10 here we go top 10 number one smart house smart house wasn't bad dude smart house was so good xenon girl of the 21st Century. Next.
Halloweentown.

Good movie. Halloweentown.
I think that's the one I'm thinking of. Actually, I like that one more than- You could take the- Yeah, that was the one I like.
I kind of like that one low-key more than Hocus Pocus, even though Hocus Pocus- Much better acting. Hocus Pocus had the three- It was a better movie.
Yeah. But that one timed up with our childhood a little bit more, I feel like.
Hocus Pocus had the three witches in it, right? It did. It did.
Yeah. All right.
I'm thinking of the- The one that was in Sex and the City. the

the

the

the

the

the

the

the

the

the

the

the

the

the

the

the

the

the

the

the

the

the little bit more i feel like hocus pocus had the uh the three witches in it right it did it did yeah all right the one that was in uh sex in the city uh the uh the older one and then the the other one luck of the irish very underrated movie i watched it again it's it's still slaps still slaps land of the eerie that's how he fools him at the end of the day in being from Cleveland. Oh, dude.
What is that one called? Alley Cats. Alley Cats? I don't remember that one.
The bowling one. Man, that was a good one.
Johnny Tsunami 11. This list is fucking...
I just saw what it put ahead of Johnny Tsunami, and they are missing the mark. Even Stevens movie.
What a great show that even stevens i was going to say if we're talking movies there's that but if there's shows i always wanted to be uh the older brother and even stevens there's an older brother and even stevens yeah he's the i remember the older sister no he's like the sports god he plays every single sport and they have like a banner of him in the gym and he still goes there and he played uh he played more than three sports and i always wanted to do that yeah so that's pretty much it all these other movies are terrible this is tough critic i'm sticking with brink i'm with you i think brink was probably one of my favorite for sure for sure yeah so you're gonna win the award this is great you all can vote at this link right here yeah what do you get if you win i dude i didn't even know this was an award well it's only the most prestigious athlete award that there is it's a kid's choice chosen by non-kids what else could you want in life? That's a good point What else could you want Besides a meaningless competition That Nickelodeon invented To get people to click these links And go to the websites It's so real It's so real how the fuck did i get on the list dude you're gonna win that's my favorite part shout out to the kids shout out to lebron james steph, and Pat Mahomes. Let's go.

We're part owners of a beer brand and not just any old beer brand.
Just the most wonderfully tasting. Am I allowed to show it? Yeah.
Can I show it? Yeah. Just go like a quick one.
Oh, you're going to have to pause that one to catch that one. I don't think we're allowed to.
It can only be on there for like half a second. I think those were the rules.
rules we own that we wanted to introduce to our 92 percenters that don't already know this beer because it has been out for for a while now it has been garage beer cincinnati favorite it is called garage beer why did we do this why did we do this why wouldn't we do this i mean we like beer we love beer so let do beer. We love beer that tastes like beer.
Yeah. That isn't like making like a fancy like slogan or like trying to like push you to, you know, have less calories and all that.
No, we just, we just, if you want, if you like good beer, this is a good beer. We like beer that tastes like beer yeah this is a beer that

you keep in the garage and if it's not in your garage maybe just take it to your garage where you can bring out the table saw because that's always safe one beer the fuck you sorry one beer is not gonna pull a finger off i would advise not going overboard with the table saw but do not drink and saw, ladies and gentlemen.

That is not a good combo.

Let's say you just need to... finger off, I would advise not going overboard with the table saw, but...
Do not drink and saw, ladies and gentlemen. That is not a good combo.

Let's say you just need to make one cut, and it's a simple cut.

Nope.

No complexness to it?

No, don't do it.

All right, let's avoid the beard around the saws. If you're doing woodworking, let's avoid the

beers. Let's postpone the beers.
So after the wood cutting, cut the wood, then the beer. Then the beer.
beer that's how it goes if you don't believe us which frankly i wouldn't believe albert yeah listen because our goal we know we're we're in this we want this beer to be enjoyed by the guys and people that and women that drink beer that enjoy beer and I don't know that there's anybody that enjoys beer

more than my friend Albert.

Take a look at Albert here.

Let's see it, Albert.

Albert's a big Keystone and Coors Light guy.

So it took him a lot to get him to try this beer out.

Oh, my God.

That is very good.

Look at how happy Albert just got.

Went back for seconds.

This is my favorite part.

Listen, wait for this. Yeah, baby! Is that good? Oh, okay.
I'll drink the whole thing. Albert, longtime beer drinker, as you can see from the white hair on his beard.
Albert is just a humble beer drinker, just like the rest of us. He likes to take the tabs off of his beers and put them in his pocket so that he can tell how many beers he had the next day.
And I can't think of a better way to navigate a Saturday afternoon than by enjoying some garage beers, keep tabs, and track of how many you drink. Yeah, because Lord knows we can't count that high.
Well, yeah, it's beer math. Yeah, so if you want to crack open a cold one, go ahead and find yourself a garage beer, ladies and gentlemen, and tell us what you think.
Tell us what you think, because I'm curious on how everybody else feels about it, because I'm pretty pumped up on it, to be honest. I love it.
Listen, it tastes good. It's beer-flavored beer made with quality ingredients, small batches, brewed.

It is what it is.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Don't take it from us.

Yeah.

It's the working man's beer.

Take it from us.

It's the working man's beer.

It's the tight end of beers.

It's not a receiver.

Dude, tight ends are cheap.

It's not a receiver.

It's not a left tackle. It's not a tackle.
It's universal. This thing blocks it.
This thing blocks. It catches.
It throws touchdown passes every once in a while. Hey, now.
It can line out wide. It can line in tight.
Name a beer that can do all five of those. Yeah.
Can't. There isn't one.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, Garage Beer is officially a beer of the Kelsey household. Everybody involved, seriously, we appreciate you guys letting us be a part of the brand.
We're excited for it. And we think that you guys, the 92%ers, should be excited too.
And let us know what you think. You're going to like it.
You're going to like it so much. You're going to drink the whole thing.
i think this is my cue uh to uh put benny to sleep all right now let's get to some fan mentions of the week what do we got trev the nation is still talking about jason's hygiene oh no not jason's hygiene a dermatologist has officially weighed in from a morning on merit street show morning on merit Okay, what do do they say what do you say let's see it or she jason kelsey's statements true or false should we only be washing hot spots or are our feet part of a routine well first of all thank you for having me here i was as i was showering this morning i looked down and i I thought, am I going to wash my feet this morning?

And yes, I absolutely did wash my feet.

However, Jason, Kelsey, you are actually correct.

You don't always have to wash every part of your body.

And no, I'm not actually supported or funded by Big Soap, Jason, as well.

I'm with you.

All right, yeah.

Well, I think that's a win.

It's exactly where i was before i watched the video um i think that travis has not moved i um it's all the same it's all the same it's your preference is what he said if you want to have but he did say non i just want to be clear he did say that hot spots i want to say verbatim at one point he said Jason have. But he did say.
Non. I just want to be clear.
He did say that hot spots. I want to say verbatim.
At one point he said Jason Kelsey is correct. He did.
I think that happened in the video. I didn't hear anything other than that.
That's what I heard. I think I just didn't need to listen to Dr.
Furberg after anything else after that. I think I don't believe that Dr.
Furberg said he said he washed his feet. I don't believe him.
I think he just said that because he was on national television, and he's afraid of being shamed. I do believe that he admitted.
I do believe. I do believe that he admitted that.
I'm correct in that you don't need to wash vigorously every single inch. You don't have to even wash your ass.
There's people out here that don't do it. No, you do need to wash your ass.
It is what spot whatever whatever floats your boat finds the last remote yeah that's how you get that's how you get jungle rot not washing your butt that's how you get that true okay this is true but some people are you need to wash your butt you need to wash your taint you need to you need to watch you need to but if you're not don't feel weird about it just do your thing not wash it wash your soap. But outside of that, there's no need for it.
I'm just like, if you want to wash it, you can't. Your skin will be more unhealthy, but you can tell everybody, look at how clean I am.
I just washed my feet and everything else, and I'm the cleanest person alive. And your skin will be more unhealthy, and you'll be doing yourself a negative, But at least you'll be able to tell everybody what a clean person you are.

And then you'll be saved in public situations from having to admit that you like to do things that are actually healthy for you.

And that you just succumb to peer pressure because you don't want to be called dirty, which I don't give a fuck about because I know what's better for my skin.

Got it. Out of the house.
Let's move on out of the house. Travis went back to Cleveland to hit some dangers.
A 2-1-6, baby. Some dangers.
He stopped by David Njoku. Stopped by David Njoku's celebrity softball game and faced off against fellow Ohio native and former teammate Kareem Hunt in the Home Run Derby.
Who would have thought Cleveland's finest would have been out there

hitting dangers?

Travis won the Home Run Derby 11-10 over, don't tell me,

Warrensville Heights native Kareem Hunt.

Close.

It was a W, Willoughby South.

Oh, he went to Willoughby South.

I went to Warrensville.

Okay.

Willoughby South native Kareem Hunt.

When's the last time you swung a bat, Trav?

I was like,

I was like,

I was like,

I was like,

I was like, I was like, I was like, I was actually got in the cage against john lester right before covid like actually john lester john lester cy young winner john lester got in the cage a guy with two first names you can trust him to win your or a super bowl. You can trust him to win you a world series.
Fair enough. Fair enough.
He was throwing a complete game in the cage against what looked like some guys like that were, that were making their way onto the team or like kind of like triple a, double a guys trying to make the team in, in spring training. Okay.
Yeah. They said that I could get in there if I wanted to and get in a bat.
And I was what are you kidding me not just like him throw me a fastball like actually like he's working on his pitches nice and he's working on his like endurance and everything to get ready for the season like he's actually playing he's throwing an actual game right i didn't even see the first fastball go past me and uh this is uh yeah so it was i mean and then i started to lock in the second fastball went by completely missed it strike strike two um threw me a curve ball didn't get over the plate got lucky with that one threw me a cutter the next i'm thinking it's still got to be off picture off pitch right threw me a cutter foul tipped it foul tip foul tip hey got a piece of it foul tip yep felt like that's big it was yeah it was i was thinking i was thinking i'm on it now yeah he didn't let me get fucking bad on the ball i'm on it now cutter again swung right over the top five pitches back to the dugout see you later beat it yeah i just said hey thank you mr lester for appreciate the opportunity blessing me with this memory that i'll have forever thank you so that was really the last time i had a bat in my hand um and then yeah i mean there's nothing easier than hitting a softball so i was just hitting those things out of the park, baby. Well, you say that, but I don't know.
I tried a home run derby. It did not fare nearly as well.
11 home runs is a lot of home runs. How many outs did you get? 10? No, they did it with time.
So I got 30 seconds. You hit 11 home runs in 30 seconds.
Yeah. 30 and then a timeout.
So it was a minute. So 30 and 30.
Yeah. Dude, that's a lot of home runs in a minute well done it was fun man it was fun and uh chief and joku uh doing some great stuff around the uh the cleveland area obviously the tight end for the cleveland browns love that absolutely killed it last year he's been he's been you know slowly becoming one of the top premier tight ends in the league and uh last year last year him and him and joey flacco man they were connecting all over the field for some big time big time touchdowns and big time uh gains and um it was just really fun to see him take off last year and to uh just take his game to the next level he's a good player very good player so shout out to david and um everybody that was involved that he there were a lot of cleveland ties uh that were running the the entire um softball game and um you know i'm just uh i'm appreciative that i got the invite you know it's always good to get back in front of cleveland well they gave you a big ass trophy here for winning the uh derby Derby.
They did. Big-ass trophy.
Very nice. Very nice trophy.
Yeah. You also, at one point, had a trident? What the? Yes.
What's this about? Yes. So in the actual game, the Lake Erie Captains.
The Lake Erie Captains, what do you call it? Mascot. I'm not quite sure what it is.
I don't think there was a mascot back when I was going to the games. Yeah.
I see the mascot in the background of this photo yeah it looks kind of like a seagull yeah i think it's i think it's a play on uh like they're the captains of the sea and like that zeus type deal because isn't zeus like zeus is the sea no poseidon is the god of the sea but poseidon is black seagull. Yeah, you're right.
I have no idea what the situation is. Okay, perfect.
Okay, awesome. Just asking questions.
I mean, it's a cool-looking Trident. Yeah, and he handed it to me when I hit a home run in the actual game.
He handed it to me as I was rounding third. Can we talk about you as a baseball player for a second? A lot of people don't know this, but Travis was a very skilled multi-athlete.
Everybody knows about your basketball playing ability. You talked about that on the show and how you had offers to play at multiple universities, basketball and college.
But what people don't know is that you are a very talented baseball player. And the New Heights team has dug up an old article from The Athletic that actually went into detail in your baseball era that had some great quotes.
So we're going to say them right now. On Travis is a Major League Baseball prospect per coach Michael Bricker.
Who the hell is Michael Bricker? Can you tell us that, Travis? Yes, Michael Bricker was my – he was the head coach for the Champions. This is the Wooden Bat League you did in college? This is the Wooden Bat League in my college years when I got suspended.
I wanted to keep the competitive juices going. So that and I didn't know if I was going to play football again.
So maybe the plan B is baseball. I could really swing the bat.
Well, you did the Wooden league having not played baseball in two years. And Coach Michael Bricker said Kelsey could have been another Kirk Gibson had he stayed in baseball.
It's pretty cool. It's a hell of a quote right there.
Kirk Gibson could have been a good receiver tight end type guy. I think they both chose good career paths.
I think you're right on that one, Coach Michael Bricker. Can Major League players play in the nfl absolutely not do you want to weigh in on this is that necessary i think so yes travis dude athletes are athletes don't look at baseball players like they're all fucking babe ruth okay just out of shape fucking guys i promise you jason walk up to a Aaron Judge and you tell me whether or not he'd be able

to play football. I don't need to walk up to him.
He ain't playing football.

Dude, I know so many guys that played base that were really good at baseball that also played

football. Yeah, I agree.
There are a lot of football players that are also good at baseball,

but there's no baseball players that could play in the NFL? No. Gosh.
I just don't think there's a chance. What do you think is the big reason? Not tough enough? I mean, that's one part of it.
Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders, either one of those two come to mind? Yeah, they were football players that could play baseball. I'm not negating that NFL players couldn't play in Major League Baseball.
But what's the difference between their skill set in baseball?

I don't.

I just, I mean, maybe Kenny Lofton.

Dude, if you never got Tommy John, you could have played in MLB.

Again, football players could play Major League Baseball.

I'm not negating that.

Maybe that's just the path that they wanted to.

They didn't like baseball.

Maybe they didn't like it. That's kind of why I'm saying they would that.
Maybe that's just the path that they wanted to do. They didn't like baseball.
Maybe they didn't like it.

That's kind of why I'm saying they would never be able to play.

If I would have stopped playing football at that point

and I would have just started playing baseball

because it was an easier path for me,

would you be saying that I couldn't play football?

I see what you're saying.

No, it's a great argument, and it's a fair argument.

I do think that there are some major league baseball players

that potentially could have played in the NFL.

Dude, you're trying to tell me right now that Randy Johnson

couldn't have been a good quarterback?

Yeah, maybe.

I mean, he threw sidearm, so it might have come out a little funky.

No, dude, it was just a whip.

That thing was just – it was just – yeah, he threw sidearm a little bit.

He threw a little sidearm.

He was pretty skinny, though.

The big unit was a lot of dick and bones.

Wasn't a lot of meat.

That wasn't.

He was ribs and dick.

We got to get that guy some food, man.

We got to get that guy some food, man.

Yeah.

Yeah, Eli De La Cruz. Dude, you catch catch just go and type in ellie de la cruz highlights all right listen you've talked me into it i'll watch ellie de la cruz dude he's he's he's like the biggest fastest like just fearless dude i've seen on the baseball field he's six five two hundred pounds javis dude i'm telling you just watch him is he playing receive what's he playing at six five two definitely playing receiver he's that fast dude he is flying he's flying he's flying like it looks like he's as fast as deon sanders running around the bases that's fair i will take back my statement there are definitely major league baseball players that can play in the nfl i just think if we're making a blanket statement that was a bold statement de.
Deion Sanders was really, really fast. I don't know if he's that fast, but he is fucking flying, dude.
I believe you. There's been some really fast baseball players.
Oh, my gosh. Big boy.
Flew. Fielders.
Prince Fielder? Prince Fielder's going to play in the NFL. He's playing.
What's he playing? He's got a nose guard. I don't know.
Dude, he can move. We're talking.
Big boy can got a nose guard i don't know dude he can move we're talking big boy can move yep i don't know where we're going with this back to travis um was there ever a point where you almost pursued baseball instead of other sports we've talked about this yeah we just talked about that yeah it was always something in the back of my mind that i knew like i had a chance if I I like wanted to give it a run you know I think um my size and my like athleticism as well as the fact that I could throw a throw a baseball um I could track a track a baseball in the outfield like I felt like I would I would always get a chance so it was always in the back of my mind that I had that as like a plan b which is why I tried to you know, play in 2010 when I got kicked out of school or when I got kicked off the team for a little bit. I was always just kind of like keeping that alive in a sense.
Sure. It was just it's baseball such a slow game to me.
And I really, really enjoyed baseball when I had a fun team to be around when I had good guys And like some of the all-star teams that I was on just it I couldn't find just the love for the game like I had in basketball I had in football or even in hockey and lacrosse I just knew that it was it was fun with the teams that I had been on and that I had a chance or at least I had interest from scouts and colleges that were looking at me to play. So it was like, all right, this is an option if I want to go there.
But for the most part, I've always loved other sports more. But I will say this, in playoff baseball, sign me up.
It's exciting. I'll buy a ticket right now.
Let me ask you this. You've played all four major sports in the United States.
You grew up playing hockey. Yep.
Grew up playing basketball. Yep.
Grew up playing baseball. Grew up playing football.
Yep. Of those four sports, which guys are your least favorite that you'd want to hang out with? God damn it, Jason.
That is such an unfair question. It's a very fair question very fair question it's so i don't know how that is an unfair question from the road from the road that i took the baseball players for sure but at the same time the baseball players every other every other sport ball every every other sport was just so much more team oriented It wasn't just like oh my success on the team and i just i don't know i feel like a lot of baseball players were very to themselves the baseball players were very to themselves i was a guy that i was like man i want to be on the team i don't want to just come to practice like i want to hang out after practice and like just be around the guys and have some fun with my teammates i want to build some chemistry so when i step on the fucking diamond i'm having fun with you know what i mean and not a lot of guys in the baseball world were doing that now i i will say this i have a fuck ton of people in the baseball world that i've met in the mlb that i fucking love.
They're awesome. I think the teams that have that kind of mentality, like the Phillies, like the Royals in 2015, 14, when they were going to World Series.
100%. I'm with you.
Like getting to know Haas and Salve and all those guys on those teams, Guthrie, you name it, man. Those guys really cared about each other and love to be around each other thousand percent in sports when you get that that's that's the love for sports that i have you know what i mean that's the shit that i'm looking for can you explain the phrase the legend of six six what is this i don't even know what this is i don't listen i know exactly what it is can we move on this the legend of six six uh long story short.
I didn't listen. I know exactly what it is.
Can we move on? The legend of six, six. Long story short, I didn't always play baseball in high school.
I was ineligible my first two years. Third year, I was trying my hardest to get my SAT scores to match my grade average in school so that I would be eligible to receive a scholarship in college so i was i was focused on that before i even went to the baseball team but the the head coach for the baseball team introduced me and didn't he gave me like like how you introduce people on the show like it was like he gave like the whole like pump up introduction he's six six he's got a hell of an arm it was just it was funny and it was the way it was the one way that that kind of like what is it called like dehumanizing somebody or like making them more like, basically I caught shit for that.
Yeah, like everybody just made fun of you. With the rest of the team.
Yeah, so, and I'm not even 6'6". I'm 6'4 and 7'8".
So it was like, it was the legend of 6'6 is like, oh, what I could have been or what. He gave you a Bill Brasky speech bill brasky was five and oh in bar fights what was the bill brasky skit that the uh snl used to do dude i forget bill brasky once drank an entire barrel of whiskey and then made out with maryland monroe that's the kind of speech he gave of travis kelsey yes and.
And I had yet to even play high school baseball to that extent, really. So there's really no fun legend of 6'6".
It was just something that I got clowned for because the coach introduced me. Because the coach pumped you up.
And everybody decided to make fun of you. The coach used my fake height that we would put on the roster.
Bill Braski once showed me a video of him making love to my wife and it was the most beautiful thing i ever saw i remember that that's a great bit i love that bit all right yeah yeah let's talk about uh this story about a high school game in a game against rival beachwood i would not call beachwood a rival but in a game against beachwood kelsey came in as the closer. Cleveland Heights was up by two runs, but Kelsey was especially wild that day.
He issued three walks, gave up a double. The bases were loaded in a tie game when Kelsey plunked the opposing batter.
All right. Dude.
Knobloch. Is this Evan Knobloch giving this? Yeah, Evan Knobby.
Yeah. Right in the neck.
Cake eater, baby. Is what Knobloch said.
It's a terrible story. The winning run scored.
Kelsey walked off the field, took his glove, and hurled it over the fence. Above the third base dugout, the glove sailed into the stands on the nearby football field.
I mean, I'd be pretty sore after that one, too, if I just walked three banners and then hit somebody to lose the game. Here's the real story.
The real story is my guy, Michael Johnson. Michael Johnson.
Michael Johnson. Yep.
Shout out to the – I always call it the colony. Shout out to – Tavco.
Tavco. We call it the colony.
Used to be the colony. Nobody knows about this.
This is all cleveland love right here this is the kids that we went to high school with and just the the city that we grew up in yep michael johnson was pitching an unbelievable game had given up maybe one decent hit up to this point and he should have 1000 finished the game uh coach put me into clothes and i honestly i don't even i didn't even feel comfortable about going out on the mound i am not a pitcher i could i could hum it in high school probably low 90s you're being modest you could hit 94 you get a 94 i had no idea where this shit was going absolutely no control i'm pretty sure i like sometimes used to close my eyes when i threw it just so i could throw it harder that's what i did on that last pitch i threw a fucking two-seam fastball and the thing just rose right into the kid's neck he got hit fell on the floor he sold it he's no he got i mean i fucking caught it was that part was electric everything else was was just pure misery. Oh, gosh.
So, yeah, I lost us the game. I threw my glove.
I then threw the trash can on the floor acting like a sore loser. And yeah, that was not my proudest moment.
And of course, all my friends love to make sure they tell that story to everybody because that's what friends do. Knobloch said, I'm running in from left field and I have an obscured view.
All I see is two legs sticking out of the dugout. Kelsey had tried to throw the trash can, flipped, fell over and bruised his ribs.
It was like one of the huge tin metal trash cans

that come up to waist high or some shit.

They make a fire of it?

I threw it on the ground, but when I

did that, I had metal cleats on, slipped on

the cement that was in the dugout.

It was my proudest

moment, and that's when I knew

I should play football.

Barry Egan is quoted

in The Athletic saying, Travis Kelsey is the poorest and sorest loser i've ever been around where if you if you read that yeah no that's not a good thing no it's a good thing if you know barry egan it reads completely you know barry egan it's a good thing he means this in the utmost of he means he means that i fucking despise losing and that i um i'm very passionate when i don't win i think that's what he's more so trying to get across but at the same time there have been moments that i haven't been very proud of how i've you know treated a loss and um this was one of them well uh shout out to bar Egan. Who do you think is the sore loser, me or you? Me, for sure.
Think so? Yeah. Have you had any outbursts like that? Travis, you know me.
What are you talking about? We were both cut from the same loins. Yeah.
Yeah. Yep.
We've had our moments. This is true.
This is true. All right.
It's a tie. Yeah.
You did apologize. We always apologize.
We know we're being stupid. Oh, for sure.
For sure. Yeah.
We do hate losing. Although I do firmly agree, especially for kids, losing is incredibly important.
I think we put way too much emphasis on winning at high school and below

age groups. I kind of hope my girls win just enough that they're confident, but lose enough

that they don't think that they're the best at what they do so that they're hungry to continue

to like, I think it's actually bad to win a lot when you're younger. I think it's good to like

lose a little bit, but still think that you're good enough to win all of them. That's like the medium that you need to be in.
Right? Yeah. Would you agree? Yeah, I'm with you.
I'm with you. You need to lose enough to like despise it.
I won. And to know that you can lose.
I won everything. You won.
You won. You lost a lot.
What are you talking about? Cleveland Heights football? You guys never made the playoffs. Yeah, good point.
I thought you were talking about before that. You guys were good in basketball, but you didn't win a state championship.
No, you're right. I think it's good to be good, but you don't want to be terrible.
I was thinking of before that, like middle school. Yeah, you won hockey.
I won hockey, lacrosse. I mean, baseball, I won a lot.
We won lacrosse, but it was a lower division. We didn't compete against the upper echelons of lacrosse.
We won division three. Yes, the same with hockey, too.
We were double A. We weren't triple A.
Exactly. We would still go and get our asses handed to us by, like, Gilmore.
Fuck. Maybe your years, not my years.
Just come on now. Dude, I would beat the shit out of Gilmore.
You got your asses handed to you by some of these freaking private schools in Cleveland. Not in middle school.
Well, then you weren't playing them. I did the ass kick in the middle school.
If you would have played the Barons, you would have got killed. 1000%.
Yeah. I went to a Barons tryout and I didn't ice.
Come on now. Losing's important.
That's what we're getting to. You got to lose to know how much it sucks.
Yeah. And don't be fucking sore losers, kids.
That's not a good trait to have. If you never get your ass kicked, you're never going to learn.
Embrace it, kids, but hate it. Thomas Edison said it.
Hate it. he he learned 9999 ways on how not to make the light bulb yeah finally the 10 000th time and listen he made a light bulb and how many times and and he didn't get a trophy for the 9999 times he didn't make the light bulb yeah you know what i mean yeah but they were every bit as important as the time that he did you don't need a trophy or you know you don't need to be happy that you're failing you just need to hate it but know that it's a process in order to be to get it right and sometimes you gotta throw a trash can when you lose a game for your entire team so that they know that you care you're gonna hate to hate yourself.
You're going to be a little baby

and people are going to call you the

6'6", and they're going to make

fun of you.

It's fine.

The 6'6", he lost us the game. He's a loser.

And you've got to throw a trash can to let everybody know

that you're a little bit

crazy so they can't make fun of you that much.

It's kind of how it works. Way to bring it back.
Way to bring it back. All right, now, here we go on our little NFL news, ladies and gentlemen.
NFL news. Not new news, NFL news.
We are 40 minutes into the show. We are 40 minutes into the show from what you guys have done but me jason we've been fucking around all day yeah on this goddamn computer and microphone so let's jump into some actual football news and talk about what you guys probably are here to listen about yeah we're in a mandatory mini camp starts this week for the kansas city chiefs so i'll be i'll be in kc all week having some fun we just did the amazing um media day today which was so much fun it's the best i got told to stand there and look over my shoulder and pointed my name plate on the back of my jersey that's the best dude it's the best it's all about me what what is it about getting older that you like picture just realize how much of that shit they're actually not going to use and

What else do I need to do all right stand here turn over my right

shoulder and fucking smile and point the camera got it i'll do it i'm getting i don't know why

I'd rather sit here and watch film than fucking do this.
I'd rather play baseball. Mandatory minicamp is the rest of the week.
So we got three mandatory days where we get to compete, baby. We get to go up against the number one defense in the National Football League baby was it the number one it was it was either was baltimore number one or were you guys number one they were fucking it was one or two either way i know my defense they're real super bowl yeah i know they're super bowl damn good we get to i guess do a full practice so we'll be out there in about two hours two and a half hours whatever it is um flying for a few days, have a red zone day and a conditioning test on Thursday and get out of town until the season starts back up in July.

Mini camps, you guys still do 11 on 11 or you guys strictly seven on seven?

No, we do it all.

We do it all.

Yeah, we're Andy.

We're under Andy Reid supervision.

We're doing it all, baby.

Fair enough.

Yeah, mini camps are fun.

I mean, it's always fun for me. I get to go out there and compete.
Let's do it. I'm in.
Go out there, run around. We got some plays that we got to get some good looks on.
What kind of plays are they running? Is it mostly passing? None of your motherfucking business, son. All right, fair enough.
The Eagles are for sale. What? Next bit of NFL news.
I know, shocking. Jeffrey Lurie is supposedly exploring a sale of a minority stake in the Philadelphia Eagles.
Oh, minority. All right.
Trav, should we try and buy something? Well, you can't. I would rather try and buy the Chiefs or be a minority stake owner in the Chiefs.
I don't know that it matters how much a minority stake it is. I don't think we can afford it.
It's a good point. It's a very good point.
You know, I would definitely try and maybe leverage just, there's no leverage. What are we doing? There is nothing.
And also, you can't be, I don't think you can like call a game or do anything like that if because the whole tom brady thing he wanted to have minority stake in the raiders and it like messed with his like tv deal tv deals yeah listen i'll back out of the tv right now if you tell me i can own the philadelphia eagles what no way come on now are you kidding me no way to be an owner that's like another level can you name the other nine most valuable nfl franchises the nine there's nine others well obviously okay let's see if we can do this should we write it down or should we just start listing them you just you can go on the hand dallas cowboys yep new york giants new Quick Jets, San Francisco. I don't need to correct.
I know when I'm correct.

I'll let you know when I need you saying correct, Brandon. So did I say it again? So it was Dallas.
So Dallas is number one. Both New York teams are going to be up there because they're New York, San Francisco.
I would assume Washington is also up there. No.
Because the nfc i'm telling you dude the nfc east is like a clean sweep it's crazy how the nfc east is up there there's no way um let's let you know um i'm gonna say steelers are up there patriots rooney's got the steelers up there green bay has got to be up there green bay might be steelers are not wow you got to think about like their market that's the that's the problem with the steelers and green bay i went off a tradition i guess yeah all right i would say the the rams valuable just because they're in la Rams that's correct according to intern Brandon there's one more team

no not miami what team could we be missing is that's a major market the chiefs did we did the chiefs get in there the chiefs might be no bears chicago is a big city yeah it is bears nice cool that was. Well, a friend of the show, Rob McElhenney, might have already put in an offer.
Rob, can we get in on this? What do I got to do? Stop trying to tie me in. This is you.
This is you. You're going to tell me you're going to turn it down.
Yes. You get an opportunity to be an owner of an NFL team.
You're going to say no? Yes. want to broadcast when i'm done playing you want to broadcast you're saying that right now you want to broadcast yes what do you want to do i want to be right here and tell them about the game the old ball coach ladies and gentlemen that's what i want to fucking i want to do that i want to be the talking head that calls the games how can we be an owner but not be an owner? Like if maybe a family member buys.
Kylie. Kylie buys a portion.
Ooh, that's pretty good. How does that work? She would have to buy it with like out survivorship or like marital.
So I'd have to give her it, which that'd be tough. Shut the fuck up.
God damn it. Kylie didn't sign up for that that's that was fucked up um no you set up a shell company nfl probably doesn't do their kind of research on that yeah they do right 1000 they do it's too much money not to be doing the research i don't think it's ever gonna happen so it's fun to think about though yeah all right you know like when you go on zillow and just look at houses that you can't afford? It's my favorite thing to do.
It's every day. I feel like that's kind of what we're doing right now.
Yeah. All right.
Well, let's say it. What team would you want to own if it wasn't the Eagles or Chiefs? What team? I mean, the Browns, probably.
If we're taking out the Browns, all personal connections. What team would I want to own? Yeah.
What team can Jason own? Well, we could all just own Green Bay right now. All you got to do is buy stock.
That's one of the things I love about Green Bay is that they're a publicly traded football team. I wouldn't want to be West Coast.
I might go Bears. I like the Bears.
Steelers is a good organization. Bengals.
We got to take out the Bengals too, just because Cincinnati. Bengals are out.
Yep. Anything with personal connections.
Yep. I buy the Jacksonville Jaguars and relocate them to London.
Now I'm in. Boom.
Now I'm in. Jesus.
That'd be awesome, man. Owning a team in'm in jesus that'd be awesome man owning a team in different country that'd be sweet duval count is gonna hate us what major league franchise would you want to be most would want to own nfl nba nhl or major league baseball i feel like i'm not taking into account business just like which one i want selfishly would you want to be an owner of i mean hockey is the only one that's appealing

right nhl would just be so fun nba you got to deal with load management you got to do

there's a whole bunch of just nonsense yeah major league baseball would be fun i feel like there's

the most like money ball has made major league baseball a lot of fun because there's like a lot of that analytic side of like doing that stuff.

I wouldn't want to do all that.

If I was an owner, I feel like I would just want to be there to like have fun.

I wouldn't want to like have to deal with Moneyball and like.

Yeah.

I don't want to fucking.

That's too much for me.

I don't want to deal with all that shit.

Feels like soccer.

But I feel like everybody's buying a soccer team these days. Yeah.
I don't think I'm soccer i was for a second i wanted to be a part of the columbus crew i mean i might still do it i'm not gonna lie i might still do it but i mean that'd be pretty cool i do think nhl would be the most fun all right nice well let's get on some other nfl news big dom got the promotion of the century that's right he. He did.
Yes, he did. Big Dom.
DeSandro got promoted to senior advisor in the general manager, chief security office, game day coaching operations. So I'm pretty sure he's doing more than he ever did.
And now he'll actually be able to chokeslam the other opponents players. I'm pretty sure he's not doing anything more than he's always done.
He's just going to continue to be big Dom and do a lot of things for the organization. But now he has the title of Game Day Coaching Operations, which officially makes him a coach on game day, which means he can break up fights.
I love Dom. You can't not love Dom.
When you meet him, you realize why everybody fucking loves dom so i think the best thing that's happened to this whole thing is just dom cementing himself as a legend on an even broader scale because he's already a legend who's the chief's big dom do you guys have i mean there's no other thing i mean big dom's just there's only one big dom yeah dude you can't create a position for a guy to come in and try and be that he's just either big dom Dom or he's not. Yeah.
How does one become Big Dom? That's a question we got to ask Big Dom. Yeah.
He's the only one that knows. He's the only one person that knows it.
Yeah. Travis is 6'6".
You know, the real life Bill Brasky is Big Dom. A legend.
Yeah. There's only so many ways you can elevate the head of security, and it's hard to encompass titles and everything Big Dom does.
So I love that the Eagles are trying to do that. Yeah.
Listen, he is a part of our game day coaching operations. He helps with Nick Sirianni.
He helps with a lot of things on the sidelines. So I think it's a deserving title.
I don't think it's just like kind of having a little bit of fun there, but he's integral on game day. He's a guy that just brings the energy.
He helps guys on the sideline. So I'm happy about it.
I think hopefully Big Dom is. Congratulations, Big Dom.

For Patty, that friend was Desiree. Until one day...
I texted her and she was not getting the text. So I went to Instagram.
She has no Instagram anymore. And Facebook, no Facebook anymore.
Desiree was gone. And there was one person who knew the answer.
I am a spiritual person, a magical person, a witch. A gorgeous Brazilian influencer called Cat Torres, but who was hiding a secret.
From Wondery, based on my smash hit podcast from Brazil, comes a new series, Don't Cross Cat, about a search that led me to a mystery in a Texas suburb. I'm calling to check on the two missing Brazilian girls.
Maybe get some undercover crew there.

The family are freaking out. They are

lost. I'm Chico Felitti.

All right, let's move on

to some No Dumb Questions. That does it

for our NFL news. Sorry if you guys actually

thought we were going to talk about the NFL. We didn't talk

about the NFL? No Dumb Questions is brought to you to you by uncrustables the best part of the sandwich and everyone knows no dumb questions there's no such thing as dumb questions just dumb people but we might actually have our first dumb question from at kyler saunders 65 39 hey boys it's kyler from east coast canada east coast can. What's East Coast, Canada? That's Montreal.
Montreal. Quebec.
That's French Canada. Yep.
All right. Bonjour.
Obviously speaks English. Hey, boys.
It's Kyler from East Coast, Canada, once again, asking yet another dumb question. You have 24 hours to spend $1 million.
You can't donate it. You can't give it away.
You can't gamble it as though that would be a choice. You can't buy a house.
You can't buy a boat, jet car. How would you spend it? So I'm assuming in this like scenario, there's like a purpose, like you get something for spending a million dollars in 24 hours.
So it's like a competition. Is that what he's getting at? ever spent you ever spend a million dollars in 24 hours i know well i mean outside of like buying a boat jet car gambling buying a house no i haven't no i think that's the only ways i've done it i would probably take that million dollars and buy a million dollars in the index fund uh that tracks the s p 500 and call it a day there you go it's that count you can't buy stock in it he didn't say you can't buy stocks he never said you couldn't invest it yeah that's probably that's probably the best interim brandon is saying that's boring okay yeah have you well let's get back to this you asked me that have you ever spent a million dollars in a day i don't think so but at the same time outside of like real estate or yeah i don't i don't look at a lot of the things i buy in terms of price so i don't think i have but also like outside of a house car boat jack like all those are like those are the high ticket usually you're financing it And I'm not a huge gambler and I don't just give away money.

So.

Yeah.

I, yeah, I, I don't think I have.

Well, let's be, I think it's a long shot.

If I have, let's use our imagination skills.

What would you spend a million dollars on?

If you had to maybe a jet pack, jet pack, jet pack school.

Does it have to be a million dollars?

It can be more than a million dollars.

I think it's a million dollars probably can you get a can you get a golf course with a million dollars is that that's really is that a house though is that kind of real estate yeah i think that's really cheap for a golf course you can buy like a really nice piece of art or maybe some sports memorabilia oh yeah maybe uh wagner card or something like that um yeah yeah maybe a few watches some watches watches seem to appreciate yeah yeah that would be another those would be wise investments art watches what's another gold gold bars buried in the backyard oh that'd be sweet that'd be pretty cool freaking bars what's uh national impoons cousin eddie yeah cousin idiot work for him what would be stupid what would be a stupid way to spend a million dollars i don't know go party or something i don't know yeah that'd be dumb that'd be dumb kind of fun though yeah probably be an epic party you You would have to party with, like, a fuck ton of people, though. And buy, like, for a million dollars, you'd probably get some incredible artists to come to your party and put on a hell of a show.
Ooh, yeah. There you go.
Ooh, would you throw a music festival? Well, then you're making money on it. So you're investing the money, and hopefully you're making it on the back end who you haven't played the music festival you already do this kelsey jam who are you talking about good point yeah man that shit's so much fun man million dollars i'm gonna try and get willie nelson i think i don't want any accompanying band i don't want any accompanying band you might want willie nelson you might be able to get will give Willie Nelson for like a couple hundred grand.
Well, I'm going to give him a million because he deserves it. Okay.
And I just want him and Trigger. I don't want anybody else and some garage beer.
Nailed that one. I think this might be our first dumbest question in the world.
Million dollars right now. spend it that was a that was a sweet question nice question if i had a million dollars i would spend it on investing in uncrustables the best part of the sandwich and that is what's brought to you you could use that million dollars to buy up all the uncrustables in like a specific area like a geographic location you could make a shortage on families that like need Uncrustables for their kids.
And then you can buy that for a million dollars and you can upcharge it. This is how shorting works.
Then you sell it, you know, maybe the Uncrustables, it's like a dollar an Uncrustable. But now that you own all the Uncrustables, people are panicking for these kids' lunches.
You start selling them for $2, and because there's a national shortage. This isn't the content that the 92%ers signed up for.
Fair enough. Fair enough.
All right. All right.
Yeah. That does it for no dumb questions brought to you by Uncrustables.
Uncrustables is the best part of the sandwich. Teach Tape time.
That's right. Another segment of Teach Tape is about to happen now.
This week, we're breaking down a play from Super Bowl 57. Third and two.
Blitz coming. Hurts in deep trouble.
Gets away. Throws across his body.
Incomplete. What inspired this play to be talked about, my man Michael Collins, former caddy and also fellow podcaster.
Hey, Michael asked me at the Eagles Autism Foundation golf outing this week. If I had one mulligan that I could take on my career, what would it be? Oh, this is the play.
This is the play that I think about when I think about Super Bowl 57 and ones that i would like back that travis ended up winning so this is third and two late in the game fourth quarter chiefs are up we are going and hopefully if we convert here going down to score we end up running a protection that is a play action protection the tight end is going to slice back his responsibility in this protection is actually the inside linebacker to the right, Nick Bolton. The line's offensive responsibility is the four-down lineman, and the back is responsible coast-to-coast, four-to-four.
Spags ends up drawing up a saw blitz. Ironically, and I don't know if it was a formational check that Spags wanted in this game, but he ran this exact same pressure on this exact same play action earlier in the game.
And we ended up being, we didn't end up picking it up because the tight end and back both went to the nickel. So the Mike, when he green dogged around late, ended up getting a hit on Jalen and kind of forcing an off target pass down the field.
So I recognize that the same blitz is happening. And in order to try and correct it, I end up taking the line's responsibility now to the mic.
The offensive line and the running back are not on the same page. And as you're going to see, the Sam linebacker is going to run off the end of the line scot-free.
This is a play where one of the downsides of this protection is we don't rep it a lot versus exotic looks. This is a standard protection that we run mostly to four down defenses.
I should not by any means have tried to adjust this protection, but I did so, unfortunately, based on a play that happened earlier in the game so obviously uh jaylen gets pressured which forces him to roll out immediately incomplete we have to punt really this is the driver the chiefs really took up a a full touchdown lead on us all right just to just to kind of clarify some stuff for the the average for the average fan that really doesn't know what four down on the mic, the Sam, the Will all are.

So Sam and Will backers are the outside of the three backers. The Mike backer is called the middle backer.
That's my guy 32, Nick Bolton, right there. So Jason's saying that initially the play call was the offensive line has the four defensive linemen.
So the guys that have their hand in the ground for the chiefs and the outside backer to on this cut the right side uh correct 50 on the end of the line of scrimmage he starts off the end of the line of scrimmage but he ends up walking on so the saw blitz is both outside linebackers on the line of scrimmage blitzing which then the defensive line will all kind of slant in so that all gaps are assigned and it's just it becomes kind of like an overload of just pressure from the outside in. I think the other reason this could have been in is because typically the three technique lines up to the tight end and in order to get a double team on Chris Jones you would want the offensive line run selling in the direction of the tight end instead of the tight end being on the backside of the play action.
What's ironic here is that Chris Jones both times ran this protection was not on the front side, which ended up being a harder block for Isaac Seumalo on the backside. And Spags, we trust.
Well, I think when you call Saul Blitz, it don't matter because they're just going to end up pinching down. But it matters who you're micing.
Earlier in the game, we ended up going and staying on 50. There was some confusion with the running back and tight end.
32 came around unblocked. So in order to try and correct this, I decided to go to the middle of three.
Back goes to the left. Tight end will go on the nickel.
We're all picked up. Bada bing, bada boom.
The only problem is we've never repped that. And I tried to pull that out in the biggest moment of the Superbowl and hope that everybody's gonna be on the same page, which we clearly weren't.
And it was unfair to Kenny to put him in that situation because they probably talked about this exact same blitz on their side of the bench and talked about, Hey, you got the nickel tight and you stay on the mic, and that's the way it's going to be picked up.

So these are the type of adjustments. This is the unfortunate side of trying to do too much, and this is the mulligan of my career that I would love back.
Who knows what would have happened afterwards, but I know that this was a big part of the game. Do you have anything else to add, Trav? Do you think that was a good one? Yeah, I mean, they're all good to learn from.
I hate that you put that much thought on one play of a game. I mean, obviously, we all have our – what do you call it? The times that we don't have success that we wish we had back.
Maybe not that we regret, but a big game like that, big moment in the game like that play was,

I understand how you could think about that more than others.

But at the same time, that was a hell of a game,

and it could have gone either way there at the end.

No doubt.

But yeah, I think it was a good play to learn from.

And it's always, you know, you want to be your best, you know,

when the team needs it the most.

And I think that, you know, you had maybe you were a step further along

than some of the other guys in terms of understanding that you know protection and understanding that it was a saw blitz and where guys should have gone but at the same time yeah man it's uh it's it's way easier to to be monday morning quarterback and say this is what we should have did and all that. But in the heat of the game, who's to say that that was the right or wrong decision, man? Yeah, the problem is when you're going up against exotic looks, what I try and do as picking up blitzes is to resort to base protections.
And that play doesn't really have a base protection. Like when you're running some of these run play actions, they resort to 74, 75 or protections that you know how to pick up all of these exotics to.
This play didn't really have that. So it would have ended up being better if I wouldn't have tried to adjust it.
But because of what happened previously in the game, I tried to adjust it. But in general, seven-man protection, four down, you want to go to the middle of three, let the back go here, the tight end blocks out over here.
That's where my brain went because that's kind of the root of seven-man protection. But this is a – it's just a different play.
It's a one-off. Yeah, So whatever.
It's unfortunate. It's the Mulligan play.

I wish I had back.

Cause if I wouldn't have changed anything, we probably convert that.

They're down.

Trav.

What about you?

Do you have a Mulligan play?

Do I have a Mulligan play?

Um, one play.

You wish you had black.

What does it say?

One play.

You wish you had back.

Um, there were a fucking, I had a bunch of mulligan games.

Shit.

I wish I would have fucking played better in the COVID Bowl,

the 2020 Super Bowl against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

And, yeah, I wish I would have played better that game, that entire game. There were opportunities for me to make plays that I didn't make.
Early on, I dropped the third down conversion where Pat put it bread and butter. I had to make a catch getting double teamed, but I should have made the fucking catch.
And that would have been a huge momentum boost for us. Man, there's so many plays from early on in my career.
Man, the play that I got knocked out against Tennessee, I wish I would have had that play back. And I would have went about it a different way so that I didn't get knocked out.
I think the second half would be a completely different game if I'm able to be a part of that game. Let alone getting knocked out.
Fuck fuck who wants to get knocked out i'd love to

get a mulligan on that one dude there's so many there's so many and it's i just uh i don't know i learned from them there's a lot of mulligans we would take this is the bottom line i watch film and i'm not happy with what i see and i don't know why i've always had that mentality, but I've always focused on how I could do things better instead of like, man, that was actually one of my best plays of my life. If it's a good play, I just kind of like, all right, fine.
I'm good. I did my fucking job.
It's almost like it's expected. Hey, I did what I was supposed to do.
I did what I was supposed to do. And then on to the next plane i'm like man i'm a fucking turd yeah god damn it why did i go in with that kind of leverage or why did i why didn't i use my hands more on that blocker why didn't i use a bigger move or get off the ball faster on this route you know there's so many things that go through your mind when you're watching film and for for me, the majority of them are negative or ways that I could do things better.
And I mean, I just always had that mentality. So when it comes to a mulligan, man, I want every fucking play that I that I don't do my job.
Yeah. Give me that.
Give me a mulligan on that fucking play. I'm with you.
I definitely think about it the same way. The good plays are what are expected.
It's the ones that don't go well that you want back and that you think about more. I guess that's why we're sore losers.
Fuck. There you go.
The whole world knows I fucked that play up. You're the greatest to ever do it, son.
Don't you forget it. I've had a lot of good ones.
That one wasn't good.

All right.

Raise a glass.

Finally, we mentioned a few weeks ago we were partnering with Crown Royal to shine a light on the most generous 92 percenters because Crown Royal believes that when you live generously, life will treat you royally.

We're still blown away by all the submissions you 92 percenters have been sending us and everything you're doing. But it's time to raise a glass to this week's Royal 92%er.
Who we got? Tanya Morrow. How about that? Tanya, what's Tanya up to? Well, from Tanya's friend, Jamie, who nominated Tanya.
Tanya is one of our high school English teachers and also our head softball coach. This year, she won Teacher of the Year for our campus.
Way to go, Tanya. In addition to her paid jobs, she also volunteers for our Staff Engagement Committee, which has the sole purpose of bringing joy to other teachers.
She is a part of our Safety and Security Committee as well. There we go.
Okay. Safety and security engagement committee.

I see you, Tanya.

Okay, Tanya.

All sorts of extracurriculars.

Tanya is also a city council member for the city of Hazlitt.

Wow, Texas.

Okay.

She is often the voice of reason and always does what is best for the people in the community.

Tanya, I'm loving everything Jamie's saying about you.

You are nailing this girl. In her free time, she takes her dash hound you have a dash hound they're adorable um louie all around the state and races him tanya is an amazing person who does for people and never ask for anything in return also she is the only eagles fan other than me and a sea of cowboys fans and And for that alone, she deserves to be recognized.
Tanya. Gosh, dang it, Jamie.
I agree. Teachers don't get enough credit.
Am I right, Trav? I mean, there's no question. Matter of fact, if I got a million dollars back to that dumb question, I'd fund a foundation to make sure that the teachers get more credit and more pay and just more recognition.
God damn, this is great. Why didn't we think about this earlier? I love it.
I love this. Dash on races.
I got to see this. And I want to see how Louie handles it.
Do you know what a Dash on is? No, but I did used to love watching those dog competitions on ESPN back in the day. Dachons are wiener dogs, another popular name for them.
Yeah. Sweet.
So I can only imagine Dachon races where their little feet are just... Yeah.
Dachons can hit speeds of up to 15 to 20 miles an hour. No chance.
Not a chance. I'm not buying that.
No way. There's no way a Dachon has beaten me in a race.
No way. And I can't run 15 to 20 miles an hour at this point.
I get hit 15. I get hit 15.
I ain't hitting 20 though. There's no way you're hitting 15 miles an hour.
I'll fucking put that GPS on right now. You're out of your mind.
I'm definitely hitting 15. I hit 18, 19 routinely, but 20 is a little bit.
20 is a little high. Interim Brandon said that's what Google said.
Well, you can't believe

everything you read on Google.

Honestly, I don't believe the majority

of what I read on Google.

That's probably a good way to go about life.

Before you go, tell us about yourself by completing a short survey at Wondery.com slash survey. Whole Foods started in the counterculture city of Austin, Texas, and it took pride in being anti-corporate and outside the mainstream.
But like the city itself, Whole Foods has morphed over the years, for better and perhaps for worse, and is now a multi-billion dollar brand. In the latest season of Business Wars, we explore the meteoric rise of the Whole Foods brand.
On its surface, it's a story of how an idealistic founder made good on his dream of changing American food culture. But it's also a case study in the conflict between ambition and idealism, how lofty goals can wilt under the harsh light of financial realities, and what gets lost on the way to the top.
