Speaker 1 Thank you to our partner, Boarshead. Ooh, a little meat.

Speaker 1 The end of the season is in full swing, and you know what that means. Time to eat meat.

Speaker 1 Millions of fans are turning their homes into game day headquarters every weekend. Gosh, and whether you're hosting a watch party at home or tailgating before a big game, you gotta feed the crowd.

Speaker 1 You gotta feed the crowd. That's where Boar's Head comes in the clutch.
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? I mean, any of them.

Speaker 1 Dude, anything that combines crackers, meat, cheese, and mustard, it doesn't matter what kind it is. You got Pepper Jack.
You got Provolone.

Speaker 1 You got cheddar. You got beer cheese.
You got salami. You got kilbasa.
There you go. Don't be all archy with me.
Ritz crackers.

Speaker 1 Maybe you could do some of those like whole grain thick boys that are around. Those are kind of nice too.
If you want to be kind of different, you go with like a wheat thin.

Speaker 1 If you really want to elevate your game day spread and score big with your entire home gating, that's tailgating at home.

Speaker 1 Visit your local Boarshead Deli. They'll hook you up with a ready-made platter.
Ooh. Or you can build on your own.
There you go. Either way, you're upgrading your game day with some serious flavor.

Speaker 1 Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905. How about it? It's just a great name, too.
Over 100. Yeah, you know what you're getting.
Boar's head.

Speaker 1 Wait, so Reese's color is orange, and the Oreo cookie was invented in 1912.

Speaker 1 This one's been in the vault waiting for its moment.

Speaker 1 Reese's Oreo. The biggest drop since, well...
What ass do you think of when you think of an NFL player? Jason Kelsey. Ask Kylie.
She knows. Kylie calls me, says I got a chicken ass.

Speaker 1 We can call her right now. Watch this.
Unprompted. Hello.
Kai. What's up? What do you say my ass resembles? A chicken ass.

Speaker 1 Thank you.

Well, we did it 92%ers. That's right.
We got another amazing episode lined up for you guys.

Speaker 1 Check it out. Do it.
Let's do it. We're actually going to bring up some huge football news to talk about.
That's right. What?

Speaker 1 We've been heavy on the guests this offseason, but there is finally draft news to disclose the Big Yetis big new contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 1 And yeah, more exciting stories and rumors from around the league and football world. Oh, we also have an article about buns.
Ooh,

Speaker 1 you're talking about firing them glutes. That's right.

Speaker 1 That's exactly what I'm talking about, Trav.

Speaker 1 But first, firing my glutes. Oh,

Speaker 1 making sure that things are fired up.

Speaker 1 I got the money. I got to go earn.

Speaker 1 You know what I I mean? Yeah. Okay.
That's right. All right, cool.
But first, as always,

Speaker 1 new news. New news.

Speaker 1 First bit of new news. We all saw it.
It's all over X and whatever other social media you subscribe to. The Big Yeti has officially signed a new contract.
That's right, Kansas City Chiefs fans.

Speaker 1 You can sleep at night knowing that the Big Yeti is going to be a Kansas City Chief for the foreseeable future.

Speaker 1 Kansas City officially announced it on social media with this tweet saying, We signed the greatest tight end ever to a new contract. How about that? And per NFL Network's Ian Rapapore,

Speaker 1 the Chiefs and all-pro, Pro Bowl tight end, Travis Kelsey, have agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension to make him the NFL's highest-paid tight end, sources say. All right,

Speaker 1 congratulations, Trav. Thanks, dude.
Hell yeah, bro. This is huge.

Speaker 1 This is just following your footsteps again. What do you see

Speaker 1 about?

Speaker 1 I mean, every single

Speaker 1 last like two years, you were the highest paid center. Yeah, well, I mean, that's what they say.
I don't know if it's true or not. It's two years, 34.25 million extension through 2027.

Speaker 1 Is this report accurate, first of all? Because a lot of times these numbers come out and they're inaccurate. Yeah, so the highest paid would have, that's exactly it.
The AAV, the highest TE AAV,

Speaker 1 17.125. Yeah.
And I am so freaking thankful to Brett Veach, Mark Donovan, Coach Reed, Big Red. I love you, big guy.

Speaker 1 And obviously, Clark Hunt, man. The Hunt family has been absolutely unbelievable to not only myself and this Kansas City community,

Speaker 1 but they've just been so generous since I've been here in making it feel like home. And for the past 12 years, man, I've been able to make this place exactly that.

Speaker 1 And I've loved every single second of it. And I'm going to love the next two years playing here in Kansas City.
And we'll see what happens after that, man.

Speaker 1 But I am so excited and I'm so thankful to this organization for getting it done and making me feel appreciated and compensated the right way.

Speaker 1 And on top of that, I got to move the needle for the tight end room. You know,

Speaker 1 it's everyone else's job to go out there and keep making that tight end AAV number go up and up with every single contract that's better than mine

Speaker 1 in the future. And I can't thank Kansas City enough, my agents,

Speaker 1 for keep knocking on that door to see if anything's available, knowing that I'm not a guy that sits out. I'm not a guy that holds out.
I'm a guy that loves coming into the building.

Speaker 1 And the Chiefs know that.

Speaker 1 So for them to want to, first of all, want to be able to get this done for me, knowing how much blood, sweat, and tears I put into this thing for them, I'm extremely grateful and extremely thankful for everybody involved, man.

Speaker 1 I love Kansas City for it. All right now, Chiefs Kingdom, baby.
Here we go. Heyo.

Speaker 1 We got the nucleus together and paid, baby. Everybody got paid this offseason, man.
I love it. All right, let's keep this thing moving.
Jason is headed to TV land. That's right, man.
How about that?

Speaker 1 We all knew it was fucking coming. We just didn't know which direction you were going.

Speaker 1 More breaking news, 92% has just been announced. Jason may be making moves to the broadcasting world.

Speaker 1 Yeah, nothing's been officially inked yet or announced yet, but obviously there's been a lot of reports out there about me going to ESPN.

Speaker 1 And, you know, know, I think time will kind of take care of that. But it's a tremendous honor to even be

Speaker 1 considered to potentially work there.

Speaker 1 That network was everything that Travis and I watched growing up. I mean, we talk about it all the time.
We had Rich Eisen on last year on the show. Man.

Speaker 1 You know, we talk about all these guys that we grew up watching. And, you know, we lived watching ESPN.
Fueled our love for sports. Sports Center.
Yeah. I mean, that's before phones.

Speaker 1 That was the only way to get all the coverage. And, you know, we were glued to the TV each and every day.
So the fact that I may potentially probably will be working there is pretty darn cool, man.

Speaker 1 That's awesome, man. That's some cool stuff to see come full circle, man, because we used to live and die by ESPN on that TV growing up, man.
So to see you up there with the microphone in your hand.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, I'm a talking head now, officially. It's going to be hilarious, man.
Well, not officially. Yeah, that's awesome, man.
I'm happy as hell for you. Yeah, I did my due due diligence.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean? You want to make sure that you're really looking at things, talking to people that are knowledgeable in the industry.

Speaker 1 Neither one of us have ever done something like this. And,

Speaker 1 you know, throughout the whole process and meeting and talking to everybody over at ESPN, it became apparent that it was really the right fit. And

Speaker 1 at the end of the day,

Speaker 1 it was

Speaker 1 something that I'm really, really looking forward to this next phase. It's who, you know, I guess it's a little bit clearer now, which I'm certainly excited about.

Speaker 1 You know, I know to some degree who I'm working with and think very, very highly of all of them. You know, I'm excited to learn.
I think that's the nice thing.

Speaker 1 I know a lot about football, but not a lot about this world. So that's just another avenue to continue to expand your knowledge, create relationships.
Because that's what this business is all about.

Speaker 1 That's what every business is all about. It's always about the people you interact with.
I'm with you on that. So

Speaker 1 really excited. I'm with you on that, brother.
Congrats, man, and congrats to ESPN for getting a real one, baby. I have all right.
Let's keep this thing moving, dog. New Heights' live show rollout.

Speaker 1 You guys asked for it. Our interns are always delivering.
Hey, we're rolling out clips from our live show at the University of Cincinnati. That was a fucking blast.

Speaker 1 From now through next week's episode, we'll be releasing behind-the-scenes social videos from the Lumbaby Games. Cincinnati, you sure showed up.
Look at this. Oh, man, this is love right here.

Speaker 1 Let's go, baby! You guys ready to see the first ever great Lum Baby Games?

Speaker 1 You'll get to hear from the girl who found Jason's fake ring in the chili. You went with shenanigans right away.
The first sock you got, you threw it right over at Jessica.

Speaker 1 Are you quite the head games individual? Not really. I'm a nice person.
Too bad she didn't find the fucking real one.

Speaker 1 God damn it. Don't be mad at anybody but yourself.
I'm mad at other people for throwing fucking socks willy-nilly. You're a fault.
But I'm mad that nobody had the common sense to check all the socks.

Speaker 1 It's not my fault. This is your fault.

Speaker 1 It is fault. It is.

Speaker 1 You could have kept this.

Speaker 1 I basically put my ring in a safety deposit box and then went to the bank afterwards. And they're like, oh, we don't have it.
I don't know what happened to the ring. The fuck is going on, guys?

Speaker 1 A safety deposit box full of chili? I entrusted it in the hands of Jets Jake.

Speaker 1 Jake, you were the last one I saw with it in your hand. Yeah, you got to watch out for those Jets fans, man.
Right? Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. Well, yeah, you'll see Jizzle James, who won the spelling B with the world

Speaker 1 square roll. Please spell squirrel.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 AKA us. How about that? We're winning more awards.
The Webby's. Who is Webby? Do we know who Webby is? Nope.
Well, the Awebi Awards, we won Webby People's Voice Award in podcasts, best co-hosts. Nice.

Speaker 1 We won Webby People's Voice winner best video series. We won that award.

Speaker 1 And lastly, there was a lot riding on this one.

Speaker 1 We won, aka Jets Jake won the award, People's Voice Award for Social Content Series.

Speaker 1 Not as excited after he lost your ring, though. Right? We're kidding.
Congratulations, guys. This is awesome.
And a huge shout out to not only Jets Jakes, but our post-production team.

Speaker 1 We mess around with Jake a lot because it's fun to fuck with him, but we're really, really happy for him.

Speaker 1 He puts a lot of time and effort into getting all of these social clips to you guys each and every week.

Speaker 1 And we also want to shout out some of the people that don't get a lot of

Speaker 1 shout-outs on the show. Jets Jake is the guy that handles the socials, but there is a ton of post-production team, including Carly, Adrian, Jesse, and Brady.

Speaker 1 The social clips that these guys put together are the things that are most consumed by our viewers.

Speaker 1 We certainly appreciate all of you that watch the full episodes, but we appreciate the entire Wave team and the amount of work that goes into cutting up all these clips each and every week and annoying your guys' timelines.

Speaker 1 Shout out to the whole crew. Well done.
Well done, ladies and gents. Well done.
And in other new news, but kind of old news because this has already been announced, but I guess now it's official.

Speaker 1 Travis is officially a host of a game show. We didn't get a chance to talk about it last week.
But yeah, Travis is hosting a new game show show called Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? Yes, sir.

Speaker 1 In the show,

Speaker 1 an adult contestant will rely on a classroom full of celebrities from stage, screen, and sports to help them answer 11 questions on a range of subjects pulled from elementary curriculum in an effort to win a $100,000 prize.

Speaker 1 That's actually pretty good. It was nice how you just laid that out there.
Like that was pretty good. Was that perfect? Yeah.
Was that

Speaker 1 so? $100,000 was the top prize for this game show? Yep. Did anybody

Speaker 1 win $100,000? Can you disclose that? I cannot disclose that, but it is, there was, there were some fucking exciting

Speaker 1 contestants. Yes,

Speaker 1 it was, it was a blast, man. It was a blast shooting it.
And to be honest, I always wanted to do something with a game show.

Speaker 1 Me and you, not only was it ESPN, but also Game Show Network, dude.

Speaker 1 Nickelodeon games, dude.

Speaker 1 So many, so many good game shows. And I always wanted to to be a part of it, whether I was a contestant,

Speaker 1 somebody helping out,

Speaker 1 or hosting one. What was your favorite game show? Price is right.
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 It's untouchable. It's hard.
It's hard to beat. I literally used to, whenever I would

Speaker 1 not want to go to school, I would just tell mom that I'm sick. And then she would make me chicken noodle soup, give me some Rich Crackers, and at 10 a.m.
Just watch game shows.

Speaker 1 Be able to watch The Price is Right. And then Family Feud

Speaker 1 was right after that. Was it Family Feud? I thought there was another one with Wayne Brady.

Speaker 1 I don't know if I forgot

Speaker 1 this.

Speaker 1 No, it was later on he ended up doing it. But there was another one backed up with Price is Right because I remember watching it.
I think it was Family Feud. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure it's Family Feuds at 11 and Price is Right. What about

Speaker 1 on the Game Show Network?

Speaker 1 Let's Make a Deal. Is the Wayne Brady one? The Game Show Network, though, had older ones.

Speaker 1 Old ones that I can't even remember what a lot of them were even called.

Speaker 1 I just loved watching them my favorite one by far and i'm trying to remember the name of it he had a really skinny microphone oh my gosh match game loved the match game match game was awesome yeah they had the six celebrity contestants up there and you had to try and match it they've tried to reinvent it but nothing has gotten to the charm of that original one yep I also like Card Sharks.

Speaker 1 Card Sharks was a good one. Card Sharks was good.
The grocery store.

Speaker 1 Super. What was it? Oh, my God.
Supermarket sweep. Supermarket sweep.
That was a supermarket. Supermarket sweep was electric.
Thank you, Brandon. So many good ones, man.

Speaker 1 You know which one I never got into? Was the one with the little creature, and you'd hit the button and go, do, did, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

Speaker 1 Stop.

Speaker 1 And it would be like, either you got like the,

Speaker 1 I don't know, it looked like the guy from that video game.

Speaker 1 Pressure luck? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Whammy. Oh, the the whammies.

Speaker 1 I remember the whammies. Yeah, you could say you weren't into it, but you definitely watched it.
Oh, I watched all of them. I mean, it was better than whatever else was on TV at that time of the day.

Speaker 1 And that's not even naming all the kids' shows that we watched on Nickelodeon.

Speaker 1 I mean, the Nick Gash game shows are far better. Let's be honest.
I mean, Legends of Him. Nothing comes close to Legends.
I watched Legends of the Hidden Temple with my kids. Now, I watch it.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 My favorite thing to do, put Legends of Hidden Temple on, and then you place bets, and you got to go right off the bat. All you get is just a flash glance at the guys at the team.
Purple parrots.

Speaker 1 Nope, that ain't it. Red Jagrans, nah.
Silver snakes. I got silver snakes.
I'm going silver snakes. You're hilarious.
Anyways,

Speaker 1 congratulations on hosting a game show, Trev. Oh, thank you, man.

Speaker 1 I think everyone's going to really enjoy this one. It's on Amazon Prime, so it's streamed.
For those of you that don't know what Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity is, off of Jason's

Speaker 1 explanation right there. It's basically are you smarter than a fifth grader, but with instead of actual fifth graders up there

Speaker 1 and them getting questions wrong and you kind of feeling bad because a kid's up there and you just got a question wrong on TV.

Speaker 1 It's a celebrity and now you can make fun of them because it's funny to make fun of adults and not kids. I mean,

Speaker 1 I think it's really important we make fun of kids personally. I'm with that.
Maybe not shamefully,

Speaker 1 maybe not making fun of them on TV where it lasts forever. It's important.
It's not, that's not public humiliation. That's something that everybody should have to not that public, though.

Speaker 1 Not that public. Listen, we are every single day publicly humiliating ourselves in front of millions of viewers of this podcast.
Nobody can humiliate me more than me.

Speaker 1 You got to be able to laugh at yourself. Anyways, everybody, make sure you check out Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity when it comes out?

Speaker 1 Whenever it comes out, because I don't know when it's going to come out. How about this? Mama Kelse got on the Today Show yet again.
Mom is, I mean, she might as well host this fucking thing.

Speaker 1 Dude, you kidding me? Our final bit of new news: mom was on the Today Show to share some some Mother's Day gift ideas. And she was also asked if the two of us are good at Mother's Day gifts.

Speaker 1 Are we gift givers? Oh, man, she needs to share me some.

Speaker 1 Don't ask Kylie. I am a bad gift planner and giver.
At least she was honest. She didn't just fucking just keep us and like, like we're unhuman.
You know, they're like, everybody, you can't be.

Speaker 1 You can't be good at sports. And Jason, you can't be good at reading and then good at gift giving.
You got to fucking be, you got to be shitty at something.

Speaker 1 I can't be good at dancing and be good at gift giving. I can only have one of those.
Because that's your gift. My gift

Speaker 1 is to dance and watch people. Just to show people what true expression looks like.

Speaker 1 We should just send mom gifts of us dancing for Mother's Day.

Speaker 1 Here's your...

Speaker 1 For a gift, you are going to get a gif. What do you get a woman that has everything? You know, golly.
It's hard. What do you get? She really likes black and white.

Speaker 1 Mom wears a lot of black and white sequenced clothing. She actually looks lovely right here in this picture.
She always looks lovely. She looks lovely up there.
She's big with black and white.

Speaker 1 I'm starting to pick this up.

Speaker 1 I'm in on it too. I think if we got some

Speaker 1 black and white. She'll go with pop a color here and there.
She will. I mean, especially red.
She definitely wears a little bit of red. Oh, yeah.
She likes red. Pop it in there.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to lie, Kylie was the first person who made me notice that mom likes black and white. It's good, man.
Listen, it's slimming on TV. Yeah, it's just.
On camera. She gets it.

Speaker 1 I never noticed it. And then Kylie said it one time.
And every single time I see mom, she's in black and white. Mom, you got to switch it up now.
Jason, caught on. She's like Cruella Deville.

Speaker 1 We got to get her like a. Don't fucking call mom Cruella Deville.

Speaker 1 Mom's a saint. She's an angel.
I'm just saying. She's got similar fashion.
Do you remember any gift you've given mom or Kylie for Mother's Day? No, and I owe Kylie an anniversary day gift.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to lie. Okay.

Speaker 1 I'm almost a month post-due on that.

Speaker 1 We were doing the Cincinnati live show, and it distracted me. Damn it.
I got to come big with something. I got faith in you.
You'll make it up. So they make it kind of easy with the anniversaries.

Speaker 1 I don't know if you know this, but there's like themes

Speaker 1 of each anniversary. What? Of like the number? Yeah.
So like what at anniversary five, I think it's like, I can't remember. I think it's wood or something like that.
Who is they? Who did this?

Speaker 1 I mean, this sounds like a made-up holiday. It's probably made up Valentine's Day.
That's what I'm saying. This sounds like a made-up holiday.

Speaker 1 i it's a traditional did you read this in a magazine did you pop up in a cosmopolitan magazine and it just starts going down the it's available on the internet a lot of people oh subscribe to it nice there's like traditional gifts for years of your wedding anniversary there's narrow things down there's no way

Speaker 1 this year the gift is iron if you got to get her something iron just get her a sword make her a sword jason i mean i don't think she'd be into it it's the thought isn't it that's what they all say yeah i mean i wonder

Speaker 1 sword for mother's day am i supposed to stab you with this jason it's it's to it's in order if she ever wants to break the covenant we've made with the lord she can use her sword

Speaker 1 That's

Speaker 1 beautiful. That's poetry.
It's very symbolic. That's poetry.
Yeah. Oh, man.
All right. Well, we got to be better.
Mom, I'm sorry. We owe you an amazing Mother's Day gift.
We love you.

Speaker 1 Now I got to get it to Kylie before this episode airs on Wednesday. So I got to move fast on this sword.
You'll figure it out. I'm proud.
I got confidence in you. Oh, yeah.
Back to Mother's Day.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I haven't thought of anything for Mother's Day.
I usually do.

Speaker 1 Hydrangeas, some type of flowers, chocolates, and a card. There you go.
And then mom, I usually, I don't get her. she gets a text.
A heartfelt Mother's Day text. We'll try and sugarcoat it.

Speaker 1 You don't fucking give anybody a heartfelt text.

Speaker 1 Mom,

Speaker 1 we're going to figure it out. This year, you're getting it because you called us out.
And now, if you get too much stuff, it's your fault. Love you.
Moving on to some fan mentions of the week.

Speaker 1 All right, now it's time to get some fan mentions. For this week's fan mention, Kylie got Jason one of the cooler retirement gifts we've ever seen.
Speaking of gifts.

Speaker 1 A project that is so special to me and that I'm very excited to share. Thank you so much, Kylie Kelsey, for commissioning me to make Jason a retirement gift of Lincoln Financial Field.

Speaker 1 It was truly an honor. And this is actually one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
I know it's dope. This is

Speaker 1 just when we disclose that I'm a terrible gift giver, we find out what a wonderful gift giver that my wife is. Nice.
What can't she do? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Let me tell you, folks, the detail that was put into this is spectacular. There's so much detail in the stadiums, so much detail.
Field.

Speaker 1 They did a tremendous job. I will say, I'm going to have to re-glue a few pieces.
And there was some problems in transit.

Speaker 1 They packed it as well as they could. It was amazingly how well it was packed, but it's still somehow there's a lot of things.
Nothing can get past those workers at UPS, though. That's right.

Speaker 1 I learned that one from,

Speaker 1 what is it?

Speaker 1 What Nature Calls?

Speaker 1 Ace Ventura? Ace Ventura Pad Detective.

Speaker 1 When Nature calls. I think what they would have had to have done, with how much bubble wrap she put around the entire thing to secure it, something like that had to have happened for it to end up.

Speaker 1 This is Jim Carrey just kicking it down the hallway. Yeah, I think that's the first Ace Ventura too.
That's not when Nature Calls. I mean, listen, it's very fixable.
It's not like it's major.

Speaker 1 We just got to reglue one of the stadium sides back to the thing. And then there's one piece that I don't really know where it goes, to be honest with you.
It's kind of hard to tell. But

Speaker 1 yeah, we'll figure it out. Kylie read on Instagram that she first reached out to this artist two years ago.

Speaker 1 I guess that's my, I've been telling her I was going to retire for like five years, so that makes that makes sense. You've threatened retirement since probably your third year in the league.
Yes.

Speaker 1 I've had a love-hate relationship with Offensive Line for my entire existence.

Speaker 1 For my entire existence. I love it, but I hate it.

Speaker 1 But then I love that I hate it. It's kind of like a masochistic viewpoint of life.
I don't even know what you just said.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, we do have a spot that we were going to hang it. We're actually, there's a lot of stuff happening behind me.
We're in the process of kind of doing a bunch of spring cleaning.

Speaker 1 We just cleaned out the entire basement. Oh, I'm so proud of you.
We, I mean, we hired an organization company. Oh, it's the best.
Yeah. It's the best.
I mean, we had to.

Speaker 1 Shout out to all the ladies that helped me out here in KC. Because we are just like,

Speaker 1 it is so hard.

Speaker 1 But yeah, we're going to get everything organized here. We got a spot that we want to put it.
The one thing you don't realize that when somebody posts your house online,

Speaker 1 that everybody now has your address and people just send stuff to your house. So I literally stopped getting mail to my house.
I had to stop.

Speaker 1 I had to literally tell the post office and everybody to stop bringing stuff to my house. But then there's some stuff that comes and it's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 Anything sent to my house, send right back to the sender. So anybody that's just sending random shit to my house.

Speaker 1 Then you don't get stuff like this. You don't get stuff like this.
A bull sack. You don't get stuff like...

Speaker 1 How did that not get... How did that not go? That was actually sent to the spring cleaner.
That was sent to the spring. How is that not sent with it?

Speaker 1 I like unique things, and I've never

Speaker 1 dried. It's it.
It's unique to the

Speaker 1 bulls nuts. That's it.
Yeah. It's even got like a little handle.
Like, I can carry it around like a little pouch. Just paint that black and white and get it for mom for Mother's Day.

Speaker 1 I don't think mom would appreciate it like I do.

Speaker 1 But yeah, Kylie's a tremendous gift giver, and Dana Theo Designs is a tremendous artist. So thank you for the stadium.
And yeah, we'll get some no dumb questions. No dumb questions.

Speaker 1 Hey yo, all right, it's time to move on to our next segment. No dumb questions, because there's no such thing as dumb people.

Speaker 1 No, there's definitely dumb questions. Oh, yeah.
Okay, there's no such thing as dumb questions, just dumb people. That's it.
That was a big one. We always.

Speaker 1 dumb. No dumb questions is brought to you by Smucker's Uncrustables, the greatest snack ever created.
Ooh, Uncrustable is back in this thing. All right, now.
God, it's good.

Speaker 1 Smuckers Uncrustables, the best part of the sandwich. Our first no-dumb question from user Blazer808 on Club 92 has a Chiefs fan all the way from Hawaii.
Hawaii. Hawaii.

Speaker 1 I've got a question for you both. If you could trade places with any non-NFL athlete for a day, who would it be?

Speaker 1 Ooh, that's a good one. That's a good question, Buzzard.
That's a pretty good question. All the way from Hawaii, though.

Speaker 1 Thanks for jumping on board to the Chiefs Kingdom, baby. Any athlete, non-NFL athlete.
Yeah. Yep.
That's what they're asking for. Would you go musician? Would you go

Speaker 1 business individual? I don't know. Author, politician? I'd probably go somebody that nobody even knows is alive.
That's a good point. Yeah, Yeah, right.
That way, you could just be.

Speaker 1 Who would be the most interesting? You know? The most interesting. Okay, would you trade places with a guy or a girl? Would you go girl? No, I would stay guy.
I would stay guy.

Speaker 1 Have you never wondered?

Speaker 1 Not once.

Speaker 1 Not once, man. Fair enough.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Me neither. Me neither.
I've never wondered that either. I definitely do, man.
So it's only a day. Because I was going to trade for an extended period of time.
Obviously, you go young.

Speaker 1 Wasn't this a movie, Trading Places? Wasn't this a movie? Yeah, I think it's also like Freaky Friday. It's been a ton of movies.

Speaker 1 It's big with Tom Hanks. This is not the first time somebody's doing it.
There's a Disney movie where somebody

Speaker 1 wished upon a well or something like that. I mean, it happened.
Yeah, I mean,

Speaker 1 this is a question as old as time. The question is, we get to actually choose it.
Usually it's like a surprise. We get to choose anybody.
Oh, so, but it's still an athlete. It's at

Speaker 1 trade places with any non-NFL athlete for it. So it's an athlete.

Speaker 1 We can't just switch it.

Speaker 1 I was just reading it. It's like not an NFL athlete is in anybody else other than an NFL athlete.
It's just non-NFL. So it's an athlete.
Which one will we?

Speaker 1 So we're saying that we have to pick another athlete. Yes.
Okay, that helps narrow it down. If I'm picking another athlete,

Speaker 1 I probably would pick a retired person because then you wouldn't have to work at all. You just kind of get all the fame given to you.
Damn it. You're taking this all out of control.

Speaker 1 Jorgen

Speaker 1 or Wayne Gretzky.

Speaker 1 it has to be some of the greats that we know man I mean

Speaker 1 Wayne Gretzky if you're fucking

Speaker 1 athletes I guess Messi even though you think he's not as exciting and yeah but now it's the best time now he's just beating the crap out of people in the MLS and he's already been the best football player ever to existed I'd probably go golf would you go ooh Hussein Bolt no I don't want to You don't want to be the fastest man in the world?

Speaker 1 Sprinting really, really fast.

Speaker 1 I mean, unless I'm doing something to sprint, like for me to just say I'm faster than somebody, I've never really been that, so it's like it doesn't really get me that excited.

Speaker 1 There's like a few titles, and fastest person on the planet is one of them that I would take. I'd rather be good at a specific event.
What about world, like heavyweight champion of the world?

Speaker 1 Like a boxer? Yeah. I mean, now we're talking.
I'm not trying to get punched in the face for a living, no.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, if you're the best in the world, you're better at it, so you don't get hit as much. Yeah, you still get punched.
Yeah, that's fair.

Speaker 1 what are some other bests in the world i mean it's just got to go i gotta go golf like my oh my gosh great point gosh

Speaker 1 sheffler maybe scotty

Speaker 1 he just kills it he has a great time doing it i know i love his swing too maybe like a like a

Speaker 1 like a john rod john daly john rode

Speaker 1 john daly

Speaker 1 like a guy he's lived he's lived a life

Speaker 1 he can do no wrong hey he lived life in the fast lane and if it's only a day and I'm getting one to like have an experience, I don't know that you're going to have a better

Speaker 1 day than John Daly. Like, you're going to get to try some shit.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of firsts I'm going to get if I live in John Daly's body. Can we cut this entire segment? I don't like this segment anymore.
Not to keep perpetuating

Speaker 1 the narrative that Travis and I just like to drink beer at all times, but I think if we're thinking about having as much fun in another person's body for a day,

Speaker 1 I don't know that anybody's

Speaker 1 going to have as much fun as John Daly.

Speaker 1 I just can't. You can't tell me this is another person out there.
He just swings a golf club like he doesn't give a fuck. And he lives his life that way, too.
And it's just,

Speaker 1 God damn it. It's pretty good.
Shout out to Johnny D, man. We'd love to be you for any day of the week, brother.
No doubt. And that does it for no dumb questions.

Speaker 1 Brought to you by Smuckers Uncrushables, the best part of the sandwich. Nice.
Alrighty, our next bit, out of the house, brought to you by our friends at Accelerator Active Energy. Let's go.

Speaker 1 You can find Accelerator Active Energy drink at Quick Trip, Wawa, Hive, Giant Eagle. And as always, Amazon.com, baby.
Yeah, I'm always out of the house, Jason. Perfect.

Speaker 1 I always get down to Texas this time of year to try and throw with Pat and

Speaker 1 get things going again, get the engine all fired up for OTAs. And when we get back to KC,

Speaker 1 big Jeff Christensen is Pat's

Speaker 1 out of the facility QB coach. Make sure he's getting those fundamentals right and

Speaker 1 gets him going through some certain drills. So we always take our family picture here.
It was good seeing them. And then on top of that, it was good seeing some of the young guys.

Speaker 1 Justin Watson was out there running around, getting some good work in.

Speaker 1 And then on top of that, our newest draft pick was down there. He was undrafted at this point when I met him and was running around with him.

Speaker 1 But we ended up picking him in the fourth round, Jared Wiley of TCU.

Speaker 1 He was down there, and that is a big dude. He's out there galloping around.
I know we'll get to some of these draft picks, but he was down there having some fun and looking good. Big old Clydesdale.

Speaker 1 He is. He's a gallop.
He's a big dude, too, man. But yeah, was down there and then went out to Pat's Foundation out in

Speaker 1 Lao Vegas. Yeah, I was about to say you guys were down there working out.
Then you went straight to Vegas to attend the 15 and Mahomes Foundation gala and golf outing.

Speaker 1 Back to the scene of the crime, baby. Scene of the crime? What's the scene of the crime? The Super Bowl.
Oh, yeah. I got you.
Yep. It's always fun,

Speaker 1 you know,

Speaker 1 doing something exciting and getting everybody together

Speaker 1 for a great cause, man. And 15 of the Mahomes, what Pat and Brittany Mahomes do for the community in KC in their hometown community down there in Texas.

Speaker 1 It's just awesome to see how much money they could raise and

Speaker 1 how much support he gets everywhere he goes, man, because of how great of a guy he is. And it was awesome seeing

Speaker 1 a lot of the other familiar faces like Whitworth, Joe Hayden, Chan Parsons. I mean, it was a stud crew this year, man.
Rob Riggle was up there having a blast. Eric Stone Street, you name it, man.

Speaker 1 We had a bunch of really cool cats. Got to see JJ Watt for a little bit, man.
Shook his hand. Told him, we got to get on the ice.
We got to get the boys on the ice, man.

Speaker 1 So hopefully the Kelseys and the Watts can team up and have some fun

Speaker 1 hitting the puck around a little bit. Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 It's always fun when you get somebody like Pat that can reach so many different lives and he's so relatable and he does things the right way and um you know that money is uh is going to really change some lives so it was cool yeah well they got this uh clip of you chugging beer out of the trophy did you win the trophy is that why you were chugging come on now baby travis are you actually good at golf i don't lose in vegas jason are you good at golf i don't lose in vegas what is your handicap My handicap is probably an eight.

Speaker 1 That's seven or an eight. That's much better than I was expecting.
That's pretty good. It's getting lower and lower every offseason.
Last year, I was probably about a 10 to 12.

Speaker 1 This year, I'm right around an eight. Dude, every time I think I got it figured out, I go back to the course and just look like shit.

Speaker 1 Well, you were chugging out of the trophy, and I got to say, for a guy that is as good as chugging as you are, this is embarrassing. Yeah, it was bad.
It was bad.

Speaker 1 I had also chugged out of the second and third place trophies right before I chugged with my team.

Speaker 1 So that was on a full stomach, and that was painful. Yeah, you you can tell.
You were

Speaker 1 old, it was

Speaker 1 right at the point.

Speaker 1 That air pocket's just sitting right there.

Speaker 1 It was so bad. I didn't necessarily have an air pocket, but my shit was filled to the brim.
Yeah, you were trying to hold it. And it was, I get it.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I'm not going to say whether it stayed down or not, but it was definitely an absolute blast. Steve, Ricky, the whole gang, their wives were joining us

Speaker 1 along the course. It was just an absolute fun group.
And sure enough, we came away with some hardware hardware and made a good contribution to

Speaker 1 some kids, some 15 of them homies. Foundation, baby.
Well, you guys were also throwing balls inside, which is a big Ed Kelsey no-no at

Speaker 1 the gala event of this. Oh, yeah.
And yeah, I mean, luckily, you caught this one-handed snag right here because that might have taken out a nice old lady.

Speaker 1 Could you imagine? You brought back the Viva Las Vegas chant. Who doesn't like that? Viva!

Speaker 1 He put some heat on it for being an indoor throw. He had faith in you.
Oh, yeah. Well, Patty Mahomes, they always got faith in your boy now.
There you go.

Speaker 1 It's not easy throwing with a dress shirt on, man. It's not easy.

Speaker 1 Actually, I've never thought about that, but definitely not. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You can't get that thing around. Especially if it's tailored properly.
Like, if it's off the racket, like,

Speaker 1 what's it called?

Speaker 1 You're going to like the way you look. What's the name of that deal?

Speaker 1 Joseph A. Banks.
No, that's not Joseph A. Bank, but it's...

Speaker 1 Who does that?

Speaker 1 Fucking men's warehouse? You're so fucking funny. Men's Warehouse.
You're getting a men's warehouse shirt off the rack. I mean, it can definitely be a little roomy.

Speaker 1 You can get a throw done with that, but if you've got a properly tailored shirt. You would know that fucking slogan.
You are so fucking hilarious, man. You're going to like the way you look.

Speaker 1 I guarantee you. It's a great slogan.
It's not true at all. You're going to look baggy as shit, but you get what you pay for.
Don't you fucking put that. No, don't put that.

Speaker 1 The menswearhouse does a great job.

Speaker 1 Some people like it baggy, Jason. Shout out to Pat and Brittany Mahomes for always, you know, giving their time and their efforts, not only to their family, but for everyone else, man.
It's the best.

Speaker 1 Does Menswarehouse actually guarantee that you're going to like the way you look? Like, if you don't like the way you look after you buy it, can you return it? Because it's.

Speaker 1 And that does it for out of the house.

Speaker 4 Ever wonder where that cool product you just discovered on Amazon actually came from? Chances are, it's from an independent seller.

Speaker 4 They actually make up more than 60% of everything sold in Amazon's store. We are talking about real entrepreneurs building their dreams, one sale at a time.
These aren't massive corporations.

Speaker 4 They're small businesses started by people just like you, turning their innovative ideas into successful brands.

Speaker 4 Whether they're crafting sustainable products from their garage or scaling their family business to reach customers worldwide, these sellers are redefining what's possible for small business.

Speaker 4 So, next time you're shopping, think small. Check out amazon.com/slash support small.

Speaker 1 Mom and dad, uh, mom and mom, dad and dad, whatever, parents, are you about to spend five hours in the car with your beloved kids this holiday season? Driving to old granny's house?

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

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

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

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

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

Speaker 1 All righty, well, as promised, we're going to talk about some football now. How about that?

Speaker 1 NFL Draft Recap. As you guys may know, there was a little something called the NFL Draft in Detroit last week, and it broke a record.

Speaker 1 The draft broke the NFL's all-time attendance record with more than 700,000 fans. Get a job, Detroit.
How the hell are all you guys

Speaker 1 finding time to go to a draft? Well, Jason, because it's the start of a new year, and that's what it really is.

Speaker 1 I think it's the start for every franchise fan base to get excited about not only their young talent, but, you know, just what their roster looks like moving forward. And that's exciting.

Speaker 1 And who doesn't love to see everyone's dreams come true? Because as we know it, whether you're a third-round pick or a sixth-round pick, you getting drafted is a dream come true. It's the best thing.

Speaker 1 And yeah, so it was extremely, extremely awesome to see the outcome that Detroit had. I loved watching it on TV and seeing how many people showed up to that thing.

Speaker 1 I thought Detroit did it great. They started it it off with Barry Sanders and Jared Goff and the gang.
Can't forget Calvin Johnson. And then Eminem.
Are you kidding me? Detroit did it right.

Speaker 1 I thought it was awesome. Listen, you're right.
The draft is amazing. It's one of the coolest events that the NFL puts on every year.

Speaker 1 I just can't help but think that this is why we're losing the auto wars to Japan because all of our workers are going to shit like this. But it's fine.
It's all right. It's cool.
What the fuck?

Speaker 1 You're sick. Detroit Auto Wars.

Speaker 1 Thank you for your time. Fucking Toyotas.
Yeah, before we break all the draft stuff down, we just want to start with how we watch the draft.

Speaker 1 Trav, did you watch the broadcast to find out your picks or social media? How'd you do it? I'll watch the first round, but that's it.

Speaker 1 I can't sit there and just watch the entire weekend of drafts. I was doing both.
I had the draft on in the background, but then was going in and out of Bluey and other things.

Speaker 1 But I'm then, so I'm kind of watching the social media, then going back to the the draft. Definitely paid attention to the first round, and it did not disappoint.

Speaker 1 It was great coverage, it was awesome. Yeah, I think we got our first look at Nick Sabin and Bill Belichick

Speaker 1 doing a little draft coverage this year. What did you think? Did you watch any eclipse?

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was dude, it was surreal seeing those guys up there. I don't, it was pretty special.

Speaker 1 I don't know what it is about when the old ball coach joins the panel, but it's like it's just like the most intelligent, interesting human being is up here about to fucking speak some goddamn knowledge.

Speaker 1 Right. And I just get so engaged.
Yeah, it's just instant credibility.

Speaker 1 I got so much respect for those guys, and it's so cool that they're now behind the desk, and we can get to, you know, learn and hear more from them. No doubt, no doubt.
Yeah, it did not disappoint.

Speaker 1 The coverage was great. The picks were, I mean, it was an insane draft.
Went by very uniquely. So let's start with that, I guess.
And the first round highlights.

Speaker 1 The craziest thing was that the six quarterbacks all went in the first 12 picks.

Speaker 1 The first time this has happened since 1983. That's an offensive league now, boys.
It is. The six quarterbacks that were taken in 1983 were John Elway, Todd Blackledge, Jim Kelly, Tony Eason,

Speaker 1 Eason,

Speaker 1 Ken O'Brien, and Dan Marino, which I think most of those guys panned out, right? Definitely Dan, Jim Kelly, John Elway. I feel like Tony Eason had a decent career, right? I can't hear.

Speaker 1 Just the name of rings a bell. Yeah, I was born in 89, so I wouldn't know.
He played for seven years. Solid career.
So obviously, this year we had six quarterbacks taken.

Speaker 1 With the first pick overall, Caleb Williams goes to the Bears and the most predictable pick of the day.

Speaker 1 And the second pick, Jaden Daniels, goes to the Commanders and the second most predictable pick of the day. And the third pick, Drake May to the Patriots.

Speaker 1 Caleb Williams had a tremendous career over at USC. Obviously, Heisman Trophy,

Speaker 1 just tons of notoriety and talent. Going to Chicago Bears, which has not had the most success at the quarterback position.
Obviously, Justin Fields, everyone was excited about. Mitchie Trubisky.

Speaker 1 Their last first-round pick, Mitchell Trubisky.

Speaker 1 They have been in a drought at the quarterback position for some time now. I don't know about a drought.

Speaker 1 I thought. But then a lot of guys that have been testing.
Both Trubisky and Fields got a fucking,

Speaker 1 it was a tough deal, but listen, it's not a shot on them. I'm just saying, for whatever reason, it hasn't panned out.
Exactly. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 And, you know, Fields and Trubisky both at times showed tremendous promise and

Speaker 1 had success. And

Speaker 1 they haven't been able to figure it out. The team just moved on.

Speaker 1 The team moved on.

Speaker 1 They didn't love what they had, but they also moved on in a lot of other areas as well. So it's been a complete remodel

Speaker 1 this year for the Bears. And I think Caleb goes in there and makes him a better football team.
I really do, man.

Speaker 1 Watching him play in college over the past couple years, both at Oklahoma and USC, I thought he was an absolute stud. Sure.

Speaker 1 Similar to kind of how Patty Mahomes plays the game, or at least played the game in college, where it was a lot of feel, a lot of just trust of throwing that thing downfield and letting his guys go make plays.

Speaker 1 And he has that game changer mentality where at any moment, you know, he can kill you with your arm and

Speaker 1 he can do some things with his legs and running the ball that a lot of QBs can't, that can throw it that well. So I think Caleb kills it.

Speaker 1 I think Jaden Daniels is a little bit more, I don't want to say NFL ready, but I think

Speaker 1 I've seen him make more on-time

Speaker 1 throws than I have Caleb. Caleb, you kind of get that

Speaker 1 off-the-cuff, like

Speaker 1 backyard ball type deal. I think Jade actually showed pocket poise and slinging that thing around a little bit more

Speaker 1 from the pocket. So it'll be interesting to see how both of those guys shake out.
But haven't seen a lot of Drake May.

Speaker 1 Not going to lie, I didn't watch North Carolina play that well, but he looks like he's got some gamer to him.

Speaker 1 I'm excited to see what that new Patriots team looks like without Belichick, and Drake May is going to go in there and hopefully get the starting job, man.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, I'm excited to watch, honestly, and I hate that it's in our conference, but the Commanders, they've made a lot of offseason additions, right?

Speaker 1 They're under new ownership, and they've clearly been signing veteran players to try and, you know, fix, I think, some of the, I don't know, it just feels like the team has been off, and it doesn't feel like it's any one person or coach's fault.

Speaker 1 It just feels like they need a new fresh start. They brought in a lot of veteran talent.
There's a ton of playmakers, it feels like, over there.

Speaker 1 And Jaden Daling just get to jump aboard. I mean, I think they've had a really good offseason.
I'm not just saying that. Drake May, Patriots, obviously, we'll get to see

Speaker 1 what

Speaker 1 Mayo looks like as a head coach.

Speaker 1 Obviously, the biggest question of the draft was why would the Falcons pay Kirk Cousins $180 million over four years if they were just going to go and take a quarterback at the eighth pick overall?

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, I think they probably didn't know that they were going to pick Michael Pennix when they signed Kirk Cousins to four years, $180 million.

Speaker 1 If they did, it's very peculiar. You know, I think

Speaker 1 typically you're trying to improve your team to either assist Kirk Cousins with weapons, protection, or you're going defense. I don't know, man.

Speaker 1 I just, these teams, when they get an opportunity and they really love a guy,

Speaker 1 they reach for people. And clearly, the Falcons love Michael Pennix Jr.
Otherwise, this wouldn't happen. I mean, a guy can ball.
A guy can ball now. Yeah.
He can play some football.

Speaker 1 So there's no, and both of them can. I'm not just talking about Kurt.
I'm talking about Michael too, obviously. He was up for the Heisman for a reason, man.

Speaker 1 He was slinging that thing around this year. Interesting move by the Falcons, but they clearly love Pennex and they went with it.
I mean, it's not the first time we've seen it.

Speaker 1 We've seen teams, you know, go quarterback when they have a proven commodity, especially when the quarterbacks are older.

Speaker 1 Obviously, the Aaron Rodgers situation with Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers' situation when he was still uh in green bay patty mahomes patty mahomes uh with alex smith carson wasn't older but carson and jalen hurts that was very controversial at the time what makes it feel weird is the fact that it's they just signed they just signed him that's the weirdest thing usually this is something that happens you know when a guy's got maybe two years left on a contract yeah for kirk to be you know, four years, and obviously that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be there for four years.

Speaker 1 Typically, you like drafting a young quarterback because he's going going to be pretty cheap comparatively when he's playing, and you can build up the rest of the team.

Speaker 1 Now, you're drafting a guy, but you're still paying the quarterback premier money. It's just, I don't know.
We'll see how it pans out. It's definitely weird, but maybe the Falcons have the last laugh.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 All right, now. Well, apart from the QBs, there was a lot of offense.
That's right. We told you it's an offensive league now, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 1 The first round finished with 23 offensive players selected out of 32 picks. Jesus.
The most taken in a single draft in the common draft era, whatever that fucking means. And previous record was 19.

Speaker 1 Seven wide receivers got taken in the first round, tying the record for most taken in a single draft. Wow.
In the common draft area, whatever the fuck that is. It also happened in 2004.

Speaker 1 I think it's referring to like

Speaker 1 when the draft consisted of this many teams because it used to be like eight teams and then like 16 rounds or some shit. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Like it used to be like a ridiculous setup, but now it's obviously way different. Is the league going heavy on offense here to stay, or was this a fluke? No,

Speaker 1 this is what the world's going to look like.

Speaker 1 I think with all these rules

Speaker 1 being implemented,

Speaker 1 it goes up and down every single year. Obviously, it hasn't been like this since 2004.

Speaker 1 I immediately take back my initial thought, and I would say that if there's a fuck ton of good defensive players, they're going to go first. Yeah, it's always specific to the year.

Speaker 1 And I think obviously a big part of this had to do with there being higher graded offensive players at a lot of these positions. Yeah.

Speaker 1 You know, analytics and things are playing roles into a lot of these draft picks, and people are heavily valuing the quarterback even more than potentially it was, if that's possible.

Speaker 1 You know, as the analytics continue to rule a lot of these football decisions, and you know, let's face it, most of the coaches being hired now are offensive coaches.

Speaker 1 And when offensive coaches are hired, they're going to rate and want better offensive players. The league has definitely shifted to being more offensive-driven.

Speaker 1 And part of that is, you know, based on the rules, it's a more offensive game, it's more high-powered.

Speaker 1 You know, we saw that revert a little bit this past year as defenses had a little bit more of an upper hand, especially early on in the season.

Speaker 1 But it feels like offense is continually being

Speaker 1 more heavily valued. But as with anything, I think Travis is right.
It goes in cycles. It goes in waves.
Defense will

Speaker 1 have its shine once again. All righty, Chiefs draft news.
Before we get into the draft, in big signing news, Big Red is staying home.

Speaker 1 It was announced the Chiefs extended Coach Reed, along with GM Brett Veach and President Mark Donovan.

Speaker 1 According to the NFL Networks, Tom Pellisero, Coach Reed's extension runs through 2029. I guess they can stop talking about him retiring anytime soon.

Speaker 1 And makes him the highest paid head coach in the NFL.

Speaker 1 Reed, Veech, and Donovan have overseen the team together since 2017. Yes, sir.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.
Coach Reed and MD have been together since 2013 when Coach Reed got here. Veitch was also a part of it, but Veech became the GM in 2017.

Speaker 1 And Veech was with Reed when he was in Philadelphia. Awesome to have them in the...

Speaker 1 in this organization. Case, you guys just, I don't know if you guys know how freaking lucky you are to have have these three at the helm, man.

Speaker 1 Um, on top of uh, you know, uh, Clark Hunt, but I mentioned it earlier on how appreciative I am of being in KC. These three guys, they make a lot of shit happen

Speaker 1 that make this organization as good as it is. So, congrats to those guys on getting the deal done.
Happy as hell. Well done, boys.
Let's keep on chasing these titles, boys. Chiefs end up

Speaker 1 trading up four spots in the first round and select a wide receiver from the University of Texas. Are we doing that now? Is it not Now it's the University of Texas.
Xavier Worthy at number 28.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure that only works for Ohio State, but whatever. Brandon, just stop.
I will say this, though. Xavier Worthy is the fastest man to ever run the 40-yard dash at the combine.

Speaker 1 He is a 4-2-1 guy, which is unheard of. Yes, he is.
It's looking like Pat has another

Speaker 1 extremely fast man to throw the ball deep to. Or just get the ball to in his hands because a lot of his highlights you see catches the ball and he's splitting defenders and making guys miss, man.

Speaker 1 He's an all-around football guy. He's not just track speed.
Yeah, I was going to ask you that. When you see a guy run like a 4-2-1, do you go and try and look at how he runs?

Speaker 1 Can you tell right away whether it is track speed, like just top-end mechanics or pristine?

Speaker 1 Or can you tell just by watching him run and like throughout the entire 40 if he's going to be able to change direction well?

Speaker 1 Obviously, and you look at other drills or, yeah, what do do you think trev the only guy that i've ever seen run a 40 and was like yeah that guy is dk mcf

Speaker 1 he ran that thing like a clydesdale he was dude he fucking did what i'm saying he's the only one where i've ever seen a guy run a 40 and be like fucking that guy they tell you not to fight the ground and he fought the ground and won

Speaker 1 like every step it was impressive watching that movie i was like god damn this guy's applying some force into that turf obviously everybody saw how fucking quick lightning speed Xavier was.

Speaker 1 When you turn on the film on the field, his speed translates. He's catching the ball.
He's fearless going over the middle. He's a punt returner.

Speaker 1 Isn't scared to hit that thing straight down the hashes. I mean, you got to have a little bit of fearlessness if you're going to be that fast playing football.
No doubt.

Speaker 1 Getting hit at speeds like that is a little dangerous. You look exactly like you do in Madden is exactly what Xavier Worthy told Andy Reid during his top 30 visits.
That's funny as hell.

Speaker 1 These kids nowadays, well, I tell you. You ain't lying.
These graphics nowadays is what I should have said. Man, these graphics are fucking.

Speaker 1 GM Brett Beach was asked about the pick.

Speaker 1 Having Xavier in Hollywood, I think as the season goes on here, we'll have just an offense that can attack in multiple different ways and always keep defenses guessing.

Speaker 1 You want to be able to pressure the back end of a defense. I used to not think that was as important as it is obviously now.

Speaker 1 Like I used to think, you know, you're just getting to the right play and, you know,

Speaker 1 throwing the ball downfield isn't that important.

Speaker 1 Then you play and you're not able to do that, and you're like, oh, no, it makes everything easier when the defense has to defend 40 yards over their head. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Having fast guys for sure helps that aspect. Like you said, you get them in an open space, you get them with the ball in their hand, and they just make things happen.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, those are two good guys to

Speaker 1 have as weapons and options in this Kansas City offense moving forward. All right, now.
The Chiefs are fired up about the pick on social media.

Speaker 1 Pat weighed in right away with running this emoji, which is the running emoji. I mean, I think that speaks for itself.
Creed Humphrey treated a great GIF, which I do pronounce it GIF.

Speaker 1 Don't care if you disagree. Wrote, me trying to keep up on wide receiver screens this year.
So good.

Speaker 1 So good, dude. Love it.
Well done, Creed. Yeah, and linebacker Drew Tranquil tweeted this.
Xavier Worthy down there somewhere.

Speaker 1 Let's go. Time to work.
Yep, Chiefs are fired up. Creed Trank, all them boys love them dudes, man.
We just got to see everybody walking walking into the building today and already got me fired up.

Speaker 1 Love it. Excited about that pick.
Just as I'm excited about all the draft picks, I mean, I know we got offensive tackle Kingsley out of BYU is an absolute stud of an athlete.

Speaker 1 One of the fucking biggest,

Speaker 1 strongest guys I've ever seen on film. And then on top of that, the fourth-round pick, Jared Wiley, TCU kid that we were just talking about.
Excited about getting any type of big athletic

Speaker 1 just ball player. And when you turn on the film, quarterback turned

Speaker 1 tight end, I believe. Those guys typically pan out.

Speaker 1 The history says. Yeah,

Speaker 1 I know a guy or two. And I'm always excited about

Speaker 1 just getting new guys in the building.

Speaker 1 Because you never, like you said, it's fun to see those guys rise to the occasion and get better throughout the offseason, throughout training camp.

Speaker 1 Shout out to Jaden Hicks, big hunter from Penn State, man, quarterback out of Tennessee, Kamal. And then who else? Oh, we got the seventh rounder from Holy Cross, man, CJ.
Come on in, baby. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Catch the routine of trying to be great every single day, man. That's all we're doing is just chasing greatness every single day.
And happy to have you boys in the building.

Speaker 1 Chiefs gaining, let's get fired up and welcome them in. Love it.

Speaker 1 Moving on to the Eagles, it was reported by ESBN and Adam Scheffner that the Eagles signed A.J. Brown to a three-year extension during the first round of the NFL draft.
Yeah, A.J.

Speaker 1 Brown's worth every single penny, man. $96 million over three years.
Holy shnikes, that's a lot of money, making him the highest paid wide receiver in NFL history.

Speaker 1 He's under contract through 2029 now, so he is a Philly

Speaker 1 Eagle

Speaker 1 for a long time. He is.
He is. And this is probably the best news on draft day.

Speaker 1 I think everybody gets fired up about the draft, but I think there's a lot of rumors and circulation, and hopefully this contract puts that to bed for AJ and for him, Devontae Smith, who they also extended recently, for both of those guys to be in Philadelphia for the foreseeable future.

Speaker 1 We got some options at wide receiver. So, congrats, brother.
Way to go, swole Batman. Swole Batman.
Hey. All right.
Well, in the first round of the actual draft, outside of the big news about A.J.

Speaker 1 Brown, we actually had the Eagles select a Toledo cornerback. That's right.

Speaker 1 Kenyon Mitchell. How about that?

Speaker 1 Is that how you pronounce the first name? Kenyan. Quinyan.
Kenyon. Sorry about that, Quinyan.

Speaker 1 I can't read, so don't hold it against me um six foot 195 i mean i love it man toledo is little mac ball baby that's right i love the mac guys man there's something about mac football um

Speaker 1 the majority of the schools being from ohio um i just i just feel like those guys just got a little bit more grit you know a little more grind to them and uh when you watch this guy play play football man he's a physical dude feels weird to say this with how the season ended i really don't think there were a lot of needs for this eagles roster.

Speaker 1 They've reloaded in free agency. They've re-signed a lot of their players that they needed to.

Speaker 1 The big areas that I think were left untapped, they obviously have been vocal about they've wanted to improve the secondary.

Speaker 1 That's been something that they've wanted to get, and they get it right away with the first-round pick.

Speaker 1 And boy, did they. I think this was a lot of players or a lot of people's top-rated player in the draft this year at the cornerback position.
Right away, you saw him being praised by Nick Saban.

Speaker 1 Nick Saban talking about he was trying to get him out of the portal to Alabama. A guy that, you know, doesn't have a lot of negatives outside of the fact that he played at Toledo.

Speaker 1 One of the other things people say, you know, hasn't done a lot of man coverage, but obviously the Eagles are more than happy to see all of these things throughout the process.

Speaker 1 And yeah, he's going to be a bird.

Speaker 1 He's going to be able to play in Philadelphia along with Darius Slay and some guys that have been around for a long time, played for Vic Fangio, who's one of the best secondary defensive coordinators in the league.

Speaker 1 So excited about what this guy's going to be able to bring to the defense. No doubt about it.
All right. Now, well, Jordan Malata actually announced the pick from Australia.
How about that?

Speaker 1 Thank you, Uncle Roger. Good evening to those of you from the beautiful land down under.
Refers to Goodell as Uncle Roger. And

Speaker 1 this was the first ever pick announced from Australia. So shout out to Jordan.
He was over there doing some stuff on behalf of the NFL, expanding the game to his homeland.

Speaker 1 And yeah, shout out to Jordan, brother. Right away, you get to address the secondary with the first pick with Quinyon Mitchell.

Speaker 1 And they didn't slow down because they went cornerback/slash DB right away with Cooper DeJawn from Iowa, who is getting a lot of noise.

Speaker 1 One, for being a great player, but also two, I think we can just go out and say it. He's the first white cornerback that,

Speaker 1 I mean, we've really seen. I mean, there have been a few drafted.
I think the Commanders had one not too long ago, but none of them have really stuck.

Speaker 1 It's been something that's kind of happened, but we've been waiting to see the next next Jason Seahorn. Could Cooper DeJon be it? Who knows? Time will tell.
Time will tell.

Speaker 1 I will say, I think he's probably going to move inside to start. You have Slay on the outside.
You just drafted Quinyon Mitchell. I doubt he's playing over one of those two in case

Speaker 1 an injury happens. But, you know, they're going to find a spot for him if they draft him that high.
And the good thing is he's a ball player. He's just a ball player, man.
Exactly.

Speaker 1 He's played everywhere. He can play inside.
He can play outside. He's played a little bit of offense, it sounds like.
He's been a returner.

Speaker 1 This dude has a lot of things he does well, and it really comes down to he's just a football player. Yeah, as Stout says, the more you can do, the more value you have.

Speaker 1 And it seems like this guy can do a little bit of everything. Excited to see what he does this year in Philly.
Micah Parsons, in particular, got pretty heated with this pick.

Speaker 1 Apparently, he was the best cornerback in the draft, judging by him,

Speaker 1 which is always fun when you make a Dallas Cowboy upset with an Eagles pick. Thank you for that, Micah.
Really appreciated that. Round three, we go defensive line.

Speaker 1 We go edge defender Jalix Hunt from Houston Christian. 6'4250.
Answered the phone from Howie Roseman saying, what's up, Big Pimpin? You answer the phone from the GM that's drafting you with that.

Speaker 1 I'll tell you what, he's confident. What's up, Big Pimpin?

Speaker 1 He's a huge birds guy, apparently. There's a tweet with an eagle, and he said, amazing bird.
Two sets of eyelids, one set being hard and transparent.

Speaker 1 When storms approach, instead of hiding, they use those transparent eyelids to fly into the storm. Debris can affect vision, and they use the storm to rise above the storm itself.

Speaker 1 And he said, working to be like the eagle. How about that? Jalix is also a zoologist.
I love it. Round four, we go running back Will Shipley from Clemson.
5'11-210.

Speaker 1 We're starting to get dangerous with the white skill position players. We'll see.
I mean, it's just not historically proven highly successful.

Speaker 1 But man, I'm rooting for him.

Speaker 1 31 rushing touchdowns since 2021. Yeah, Shipley on Philly.

Speaker 1 I could not ask for anything else than to be a Philadelphia Eagle and go to contend for a Super Bowl with one of the best cultures that I've seen in the NFL. He's seen a lot.

Speaker 1 I've gained a love for the city of Philly. Could not be better spot for my family and I.

Speaker 1 I'm excited to see what all these guys do. Yeah.
Excited to see what Will brings to the table.

Speaker 1 Obviously, Eagles just signed Saquon Barkley, so he gets to learn from a guy who's been an unbelievable pro from day one. Day one.
And it's a great room.

Speaker 1 I know all the the guys in there, and just he's going to love it, and he'll fit right in. I'm sure of it.

Speaker 1 All right, round five, we go Anias Smith out of Texas AM, played wide receiver, running back, and punt returner in college. So we got a lot of returners here.

Speaker 1 We're also returning, I think, unless Covey signed someplace else, a really, really good returner from last year already.

Speaker 1 Forced 20 missed tackles last season, seventh among all wide receivers in the country. That's good.
Making missed tackles usually good. Round five, we go with a little bit of a

Speaker 1 little family reunion. Here we go.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. out of Clemson.
Obviously, Jeremiah Trotter Sr.

Speaker 1 Jeremiah Trotter, the X-Man, was a legendary Philadelphia Eagle. The X-Man, baby.

Speaker 1 You know, I think he is somebody who represents exactly what you think of when you think of Philadelphia Eagles through toughness and through grit and through hitting the shit out of people.

Speaker 1 I mean, he laid people the fuck out. So Jeremiah Trotter

Speaker 1 just hopefully bring that same mentality back to the birds. He had a genuinely emotional phone call with Howie and Jeffrey Lurie.

Speaker 1 You know, I think we'll play the clip, but you can see for yourself.

Speaker 2 Hey, Jeremiah Trotter.

Speaker 1 What are you thinking, man?

Speaker 1 You think we should straight up and take you right here?

Speaker 1 That'd be pretty cool.

Speaker 1 That'd be pretty cool. I'd love that, Eagle.
Yeah, you're an eagle, brother. Just like it's meant to be.
Jeremiah,

Speaker 1 how old were you when I first met you?

Speaker 1 I'm two.

Speaker 1 Two, three,

Speaker 1 four.

Speaker 1 Congrats, man.

Speaker 1 Thank you. Really, really special moment for him and his family.

Speaker 1 You love it when you see stuff like this going down on draft day. Round five, finally get to the offensive line.

Speaker 1 I know Stout was probably chomping at the bid here, and he finally gets a guy in round five, offensive guard, Trevor Keegan, out of Michigan.

Speaker 1 6'5, big man from Michigan. Don't know much about him.
I'm not gonna lie. I did not watch a lot of draft tape this year, but we know he can chug a beer at parades, which is a good start.

Speaker 1 Listen, I'm excited to to see what the kid can do. I'm always excited with the young guys.

Speaker 1 You never know

Speaker 1 your position group, right? I feel like other positions, I'm not as quick to feel like I know immediately. I feel like with offensive linemen, you can almost tell the first day they go out there.

Speaker 1 It's like, oh, he moves.

Speaker 1 He's got it. Yeah.
You know what I mean? I don't know if you feel the same way at tight end. Every once in a while, a guy will wow you, you're like, oh, this kid can't really move that well.

Speaker 1 And then he'll start playing and he kind of finds a way to get it done. But most of all, most of the time, nearly right away, you're like, oh, yeah, I'm seeing what I need to see.
This guy's physical.

Speaker 1 I saw that out of Noah Gray. But we picked him up a couple years ago, four years ago, I think now.
When he came out for OTAs and his attention to detail, how he was running routes,

Speaker 1 how fast he picked up. I was like, oh, this dude is a fucking pro.
He's going to be awesome.

Speaker 1 There's like some guys that even when they're just playing the highlight on draft day, you can like be like, oh, yeah. Like there was a tackle got picked early out of Oregon State.

Speaker 1 And I saw like a one pass set and I was like, Oh, I know what he's talking about.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, and then I saw him just completely demoralizing people after that, and I was like, God damn, this dude is a fucking beast.

Speaker 1 Talisi Fuaga, holy shit, you see, like, the balance and like the way their lips open up. Like, I know exactly what you're saying.
I said the same thing. I'm pretty sure

Speaker 1 whoever drafted him thought the exact same thing when they saw him.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't even know who drafted him, but I was, I just remember when it was like, da-da-da-da, and then they started showing his eyes. I was like, fuck yes.
And I saw his face.

Speaker 1 I was like, I met that guy in Philadelphia. He was cool as shit, too.

Speaker 1 Has there ever been anybody that you see get drafted? You're like, I don't know. All the time.
Yeah. And it's interesting where they go really high.
I wouldn't say it's the majority.

Speaker 1 I think the majority of the guys that go high, you do watch and you're like, yeah, you think it looks right.

Speaker 1 But there's some guys where it's just like right away, you think, man, that is, I have seen that before. Those exact movements and the way it anatomically looks.

Speaker 1 And for some reason, he was one guy where I hadn't watched zero tape and I only saw the highlight tapes on draft day. And I was like, damn, I like the way that passett looks.

Speaker 1 I like the way he's redirecting. I like the way he's finishing.
I mean, very limited sample size, but I feel pretty confident that dude's going to be a beast. I don't know.

Speaker 1 Well, I'm going on record right now. Talesee, don't you fucking disappoint me.

Speaker 1 Back to the Eagles draft. Eagles, what fans want to know about that? Round six, we go receiver Johnny Wilson out of Florida State, who ran a 4-5-240 at 231 pounds.
That's a heavy receiver.

Speaker 1 That's a big body right there. It's a big boy.
Seems like he's staying at receiver. Nick Siriani seemed to hint that he would not be moving to tight end.
God damn, 6'6, 231. That's a big boy.
Big boy.

Speaker 1 And then round six, we go with the Jason Kelsey selection at pick 190 and Dylan McMahon, the undersized center, 6'3, 299.

Speaker 1 One pick before yours truly.

Speaker 1 Per next-gen stats, the third highest athleticism score since 2003 at 95. I had a 98 athleticism score when I was selected 191.

Speaker 1 Just saying, according to this, I don't even know what the fuck that means. In 2023, he had 361 pass-blocking snaps, 12 quarterback pressures allowed, one sack allowed.

Speaker 1 Of course, I'm excited to see what this kid does.

Speaker 1 And I'm sure Stout's excited about having some new guys in the room and some fresh young guys to really try and mold. I always love

Speaker 1 when the new guys are. No six-round center.

Speaker 1 I mean, let's be honest, no six-round centers pan out,

Speaker 1 especially not Eagles ones. I think it was a good claim.
Obviously, we addressed a lot of needs, but not only did we address the needs, we addressed the needs with perceived value.

Speaker 1 You never know long-term how this stuff is going to pan out, but we do know that most draft experts, when the Eagles selected these guys, were rated higher than where they went.

Speaker 1 You know, Cooper DeGine was seen as a first-round talent. Quinnyon Mitchell was expected to be off the board by the time the Eagles were picking.

Speaker 1 So whenever you're picking guys that were supposed to pick way higher, I feel like usually that pans out. I don't know.
But I do know that we needed DBs, and it sounds like we got some good ones.

Speaker 1 I do know that we needed some more O-line and O-line depth, and we've got some of those guys. I do know we got some new receivers, which is always good.
So I think it was a good draft.

Speaker 1 I think, uh, Howie Roseman, hopefully this one pans out for you, brother, and Philadelphia Eagles fans. Shout out to the Eagles and all the draftees, man.
And that does it for our draft coverage.

Speaker 1 But so hopefully

Speaker 1 these young guys will go in these next two weeks, get comfortable in KC and in wherever

Speaker 1 they got drafted. I'm not just talking about KC and Eagles, man.
All the draftees, man. Come in, work hard, brother.
I might go down to the rookie minicamp just to just to check it out.

Speaker 1 Dude, it is chaos. I love watching it.
It's not even watch football. It's not even football.
I love watching it. I enjoy because I like to see how people react to fucking up.

Speaker 1 Like it when the hand clap happens? Big hand clap.

Speaker 1 Just like you drop a pass. Damn it.
Ah, gosh. The big, the palms up.
Don't let me see what the palms up. That's a big no-no.
No palms up.

Speaker 1 And lastly, in draft-related news, it looks like evaluating players actually

Speaker 1 is buns plays a major role in scouting NFL talent. That's right.
Cult of the caboose, an athletic article that was released a couple weeks ago, I think, by Josh Kendall of the Athletic.

Speaker 1 Yeah, marks us, making us question our use of the term buns. We usually say it in a negative way, but it turns out

Speaker 1 ass is all these scouts are looking at.

Speaker 1 With the headline, a high butt factor might be an NFL draft prospect's most prized asset.

Speaker 1 That's a pun.

Speaker 1 Wild ass set.

Speaker 1 The article quotes several coaches coaches as they talk about the importance of literal buns when it comes to scouting players. I love a good buns pun.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we've got to talk about some of these quotes. First up, Nick Saban explains a Bill Belichick's scouting philosophy.

Speaker 1 Bill likes to look and see how big their ass is when they get down in a 40-yard stance because he wants to sign the biggest ass defensive lineman he can sign.

Speaker 1 I mean, I'm not going to lie, I think that's a good strategy in a savvy move by the old ball coach,

Speaker 1 especially defensive line. There's something about a big ass that just helps you really anchor.
I will say, I don't like a sloppy ass.

Speaker 1 I like a tight ass. I don't want it to be big and sloppy.
Like, you don't want it running and it jiggling too much. You want it to be a firm big ass.

Speaker 1 If that thing, if you got a caboose back there and you're fucking holding the line,

Speaker 1 it's bad when you got the big, sloppy button that you're getting moved back. Yeah.
That's not a good look. It's like

Speaker 1 bouncing up and down, like he's twerking in the club right back to the linebacker. I want that firm, that firm ass sitting there, nose guard, right at the line, just big old wide hips.

Speaker 1 Falcons assistant GM Kyle Smith. One of the first things you learn getting into scouting is the anchor.
Big asses, big rear ends, and posterior chain, back and ass and hamstrings.

Speaker 1 That's how you anchor. I think that's, I mean, that's pretty accurate.
I think that's pretty much it. I will say there's certain positions where I like it to be more proportionate.

Speaker 1 Like, I think sometimes if it's offensive alignment and their ass is just like a big bubble butt, it's like their balance isn't as good.

Speaker 1 Like they got to have, it's got to to look proper for offensive line. It's got to look proper.
But for defensive line, I mean, they can just

Speaker 1 for defensive line, they can look about as ass heavy as possible. I don't think it matters.
I mean, it usually pans out. I think this is very true.

Speaker 1 We also got tons of Coach Reed quotes on asses, including this one from punter Dustin Colquet. Coach Reed is quoted as saying, punters have to have big butts.

Speaker 1 As soon as you start to look like you're going downhill from a physique standpoint, you're out of here. Keep that ass going.

Speaker 1 Coach Reed, I mean, he has the quote for you where he said, you lose your glutes, you lose your games. Now he's taking it to punters.

Speaker 1 I never thought in a million years it mattered if punters had big asses, but apparently

Speaker 1 posterior chain, baby. Yeah, but you're using, that's a hip flexor movement.
What does an ass have to do with a punt? No, you got to think about what's the force you're putting in

Speaker 1 with

Speaker 1 the leg that's in the ground. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 1 It's like a driver, I guess. The bigger the back end is of it, the more power that it exerts through the ball.
There you go. There you go.
I would think quads would make it. Whatever.

Speaker 1 I think this is all very accurate. For certain positions, I do think that, you know, you want more shapely

Speaker 1 and proper proportioned asses for most of the positions. But defensive line, I mean, you want a big ass.

Speaker 1 I mean, I think when I think of defensive line asses, who do you think of with defensive line asses?

Speaker 1 What do you mean?

Speaker 1 What guys? Every defensive lineman ever. Every nose guard?

Speaker 1 I will say Vince Wilfork. Vince Wilfork had a small ass, and he was a monster.
Well, I mean, there's always the anomalies. There's always the anomalies.

Speaker 1 He had the big gut, but his ass really wasn't that big. It was kind of.

Speaker 1 Or his gut was so big that it just made it look like he had a regular ass. He had those athletic legs, though, because Vince could actually move.
That's what was different about Vince.

Speaker 1 Most of the guys with big asses aren't great. I mean, you have Javon Hargrave.
Javon Hargrave has an enormous ass, but he's very explosive and moves well. That's rare for the big ass.

Speaker 1 The big ass is usually just like gear one.

Speaker 1 They stay in gear one. They don't get up to gears two and three very often.
Not as much knee drive, that's why. Yeah, I mean, you're limited from a mobility standpoint at getting those hips engaged.

Speaker 1 You kind of just sit that ass back there. I mean, I think of BJ Roggy.
BJ Raji had a big ass.

Speaker 1 The refrigerator Perry, it wasn't so much that it bubbled out. He's just a wide ass.
Bo Allen had a big ass. Honey Bobo.
Shout out to Honey Bobo. Honey Bobo's fucking.
Dude, man.

Speaker 1 He looked like a baby rhinoceros out there with blonde hair. You know who I really think of the most, though? And not many people are going to notice this guy's name.

Speaker 1 Terrence Knight. His nickname was Pot Roast.
He played for Washington for a couple of years. I forget where he was at before that.
I'm not kidding you. He's the biggest.

Speaker 1 I mean, he was over 400 pounds at one point. I remember playing him, and it held up.
It was hard to move him. That motherfucker, goddamn, he was a load.

Speaker 1 This is an accurate assessment of asses by some of the all-time greats in coaching. I mean, posterior chain, man, explosion.
Yeah, I mean, it's exploding in multiple ways.

Speaker 1 That does it on our non-draft news right there. Yeah.
Thank you, Jason, for your diagnosis of the caboose. And shout out to the gentleman at the athletic.

Speaker 1 What ass do you think of when you think of an NFL player? Jason Kelsey. I don't have an ass, Trevor.

Speaker 1 Ask Kylie. She knows.

Speaker 1 Kylie calls me, says I got a chicken ass.

Speaker 1 That's exactly what she says.

Speaker 1 I swear to God.

Speaker 1 We can call her right now. Watch this.
Unprompted.

Speaker 1 She's not going to pick up. No chance.

Speaker 1 Hello. Kai.
What's up?

Speaker 1 What do you say my ass resembles?

Speaker 1 A chicken ass.

Speaker 1 Thank you.

Speaker 1 I'll see you in a little bit. What is that? Okay, bye.
I'm just going to bring it home.

Speaker 1 The food? Yeah. And the kids?

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 No, I'll leave the kids here. Bring the food.
All right, perfect. All right.

Speaker 1 I'll see you in a little bit.

Speaker 1 Do chickens have glutes? I think that's the point. She's saying basically that

Speaker 1 there's nothing back there. It's just flat.
She ain't looking at the same ass. I just know it's powerful.
That's all I know.

Speaker 1 It does. I will admit, it's hard to tell where the back and the ass starts, but it's got some power in it.
All right. Well, that does it on our non-draft news in the caboose.

Speaker 1 Commissioner Goodell's idea of NFL scheduling.

Speaker 1 He was on the Pat McAfee show and talked about some potential scheduling tweaks he'd like to see in the future, which typically means it's going to fucking happen. The highlights were

Speaker 1 moving to a 18-game regular season.

Speaker 1 That's right. Yeah, he wants to add another game and also cutting back on preseason games.
So take away the third preseason game that's there right now and move it to the regular season.

Speaker 1 I'm with that. I think even like Joey Burrow said it, like, if you're going to

Speaker 1 give us more days that we have to play or more weeks we have to play,

Speaker 1 give us a fucking bye week or something in there. Another bye week.
Yeah. Yeah.
Or an extra, like,

Speaker 1 I don't know. Yeah.

Speaker 1 What do you think about this? I think there should be another bye week if it goes to 18. I think it probably should already have another bye week.

Speaker 1 So, yeah, so that would take away one of the preseason, another preseason game, and then just put another bye week in there. Or you just extend the season by a week.

Speaker 1 But I think we committed to this when we went to 17 games. The reality was we left the option for the league to go to 18 games when the NFOPA made that commitment.
And 17 games doesn't make sense.

Speaker 1 It's an odd number. It's weird.
Home and away. 18 makes sense.
So be even home and away games every year for every team.

Speaker 1 So this was something that was going to happen, and it's been on the docket from the moment we went to 17 games. So that's not shocking.

Speaker 1 I think the best part of this is that the Super Bowl is getting moved to President's Day, which

Speaker 1 we talked about it before. I think we actually made this happen.
I don't think the NFL had this on their eyesight at all.

Speaker 1 we talked about putting the super bowl on a three-day weekend way before this ever got released so new heights you can thank us for being able to celebrate super bowl sunday on a three-day weekend that's right baby we're doing it it also gives us a reason to celebrate president's day

Speaker 1 i mean nobody celebrates president's day it's just a it's a forgotten holiday and now the super bowl is on the President's Day, so it's really the Super Bowl Day.

Speaker 1 I think we can just rename the whole thing. Let's just nix the President's Day thing and just call it Super Bowl weekend and it could be a national holiday.
Is this why they moved up the

Speaker 1 everybody's offseason? I don't think this is going into effect this year. This would be in the future.
Yeah, because then it would be later.

Speaker 1 Anyways, President's Day is after where the Super Bowl is right now. President's Day is always the weekend after.
All right, yeah, so it would be later. All right.

Speaker 1 Hopefully next year, who knows, we get a longer off-season. Hopefully we can rename President's Day because nobody celebrates that shit.

Speaker 1 So fucked up. Have you ever heard somebody say they're celebrating President's Day with anything? Other than history teachers, maybe?

Speaker 1 Yeah, but you get the school day off. That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 But like, nobody's throwing a barbecue or doing nothing on President's Day. We need to do this.
We need to make this day worthwhile. We need to play a Super Bowl and we need to rename it.

Speaker 1 Nobody, who cares? Presidents suck. Let's be honest.

Speaker 1 Dime a dozen. What the fuck is going on? Dime a dozen.

Speaker 1 Dime a dozen.

Speaker 1 Who's your favorite president, Jason? Who's my favorite president? I don't know. George Washington.

Speaker 1 Teddy Roosevelt seemed like a badass. All right, now, 90 G Percenters, on to something a little bit more joyous.

Speaker 1 Before we get out of here, we want to share an exclusive clip from our conversation with Bengals quarterback Joey Burrow. That's right.
You!

Speaker 1 We talked to Joe Burrow at our Cincy Live show, and here's a fresh look at how that conversation went right now.

Speaker 1 Fit in right with this show. We're going to get to some of these old treats we found here.
Okay. We're going to have a little bit more fun with this.

Speaker 1 We got some old ones. Let's tune them up.

Speaker 1 You want to see aliens, right?

Speaker 1 Where is it at? Dude, show me the enemies.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 1 where are they?

Speaker 1 Like, I'm with you. You know, they say they're walking right among us.

Speaker 1 That's crazy.

Speaker 1 Unzid yourself, Orlando.

Speaker 1 I mean, I feel like

Speaker 1 if they are advanced enough to come and visit us,

Speaker 1 then they're advanced enough to cloak their technology from us and we won't be able to see it. So maybe

Speaker 1 we know about it, maybe we don't, but I feel like somebody's got to know. There's aliens among us.
You're talking to two guys who heard aliens our entire lives.

Speaker 1 Big Ed Kelsey's here as well tonight.

Speaker 1 Who is Big Ed at?

Speaker 1 He's probably talking to him right now. Yeah, he is.

Speaker 1 Wait, I keep getting points everywhere. Yeah, I know everyone's pointing.

Speaker 1 Big Ed Kelsey, everybody. Give it up for Pop Kelsey.

Speaker 1 I got to say,

Speaker 1 until I see...

Speaker 1 Aliens or UFOs on something that's not like the worst video ever. Come on.
I agree. I got to be a little bit more evidence before I get full.

Speaker 1 That's why they're so good, though. Like you said, they can like.
I hear you.

Speaker 1 It's good.

Speaker 1 I'm not gonna do that. They can make it blurry.
Them. I mean, I'm not.
This monster can make the blurry. So can the Big Eddie.
We're not gonna see it on an iPhone camera, dog. Yeah.
Like.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 Seisty knows something. He does.
The Chinese can send them freaking balloons up over us. That's what the salient's gonna do, right?

Speaker 1 Jesus. All right.

Speaker 1 You're also pro-taunting. I am pro-taunting, yeah.
So am I. Why are you pro-taunting? We're all grown adults that work really hard at what we do, and sometimes we like to show it.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to get my feelings hurt if somebody sacks me and taunts me like, you made a play, I didn't. Like, good for you.
You're allowed to taunt.

Speaker 1 Have you ever given the taunting flag? I've never got a taunting flag.

Speaker 1 How many you got?

Speaker 1 At what level of football? He's throwing a flag. He's throwing it.
I mean, who's the flag?

Speaker 1 That's my favorite one. He throw the flag at the rest.

Speaker 1 You can get a little feisty out there.

Speaker 1 Just a wee bit. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Trav gonna talk that shit. Anger management, and I talk entirely too much.

Speaker 1 I do. Actually, one of my favorite taunting penalties that I got.

Speaker 1 Yes, I do have favorites.

Speaker 1 We were playing the Eagles. My first time playing actually on the field against the Eagles in Kansas

Speaker 1 2016.

Speaker 1 We did lose that game. Yes, that was the last game you guys lost that year.

Speaker 1 So we played them, and sure enough, it's a low-scoring low-scoring game. We could have moved the ball too well on him.

Speaker 1 Smitty handed that thing off to Kareem Hunt, and it was me and Brandon Graham talking shit the entire year. BG talks major shit.
He will. It was before I knew BG all like that.
And then, sure enough,

Speaker 1 he got a little winning. You know,

Speaker 1 they come in like hockey subs on the defensive line. Yeah, it's some bullshit.
And sure enough, he went off for a play.

Speaker 1 I hemmed up the D-lineman that came in for him on one back power, which if you guys don't believe I can block, I blocked it. I was going to say you were blocking?

Speaker 1 I was, and I did my job. And I felt so good that I thought I'd run over to the sideline and tell Brandon Graham to bring his ass back out here.
Hey, what happened?

Speaker 1 Well, I got a flag for going to the sideline and talking to the sideline. You can't do that, kids.

Speaker 1 And then Brandon Graham continued to throw me around for the rest of the game.

Speaker 1 BG, little pit bull.

Speaker 1 Who's the best shit talker that you played? You already talked about Fletcher Cox, you're welcome to the NFL, BGs, known for. Is there anybody else that's really up there for you?

Speaker 1 Not really. No.
No.

Speaker 1 That's fair. What about you, Arlur?

Speaker 1 You played against Max Crosby, right? Yeah, he wasn't talking when we played him, though. Oh, Max, what do we do?

Speaker 1 I'm pretty nice to the defensive line. Smart.
So

Speaker 1 people aren't really talking to me like that because I'll just be like... Joe gets it.
Nice play. Nice play, man.

Speaker 1 I'm not trying to get hit hit like that.

Speaker 1 Smart guy, smart guy.

Speaker 1 I would have to say, biggest shit talkers.

Speaker 1 I've played with him at the top of my list.

Speaker 1 I got a story for him, too, but

Speaker 1 BG. Yeah.
And then our guy, Trey Henderson. I just

Speaker 1 shit. Shout out Trey, man.
Love it. What a bad man.
Yeah. Yeah, hell yeah.
But Trav's going to talk that shit. We were playing Denver one time, Sunday night, and

Speaker 1 he comes in motion. This is mid-cadence.
Wide 80.

Speaker 1 He comes in motion back and forth and my DN's wearing goggles. And as he comes back across the guard, he looks at the DN.
He says, man, you got on fucking goggles.

Speaker 1 Oh, this guy's got on fucking goggles. Wide 80s.

Speaker 1 I'm like, man, this is a trap.

Speaker 1 Trav go talk it. He go talk that talk, man.

Speaker 1 You couldn't even fucking see.

Speaker 1 Blind as a bat. How much do you, does it determine who you're playing? Like, for me, I was like, I I always was feeling it out.
Like, okay, am I going to be nice to this guy?

Speaker 1 Am I going to talk shit to this guy? Like, what am I going to do to get in his head? Like, that was one of my favorite battles.

Speaker 1 You would figure out, guys, especially when you played them multiple times. Hey, if I'm nice to this guy, it's going to change the way he plays.

Speaker 1 Or if I get pissed off at him, it kind of changes the way he plays, too. That's one of the insides of the game.
And that's why it should be allowed. Because it's a tool that...

Speaker 1 If you're a smart enough player, you understand how to utilize it as well. Yeah, I just feel like,

Speaker 1 I mean, nobody's going to get their feelings hurt out there. Like, the only people that are going to do

Speaker 1 tough shit. Yeah, like, if you want to find us.

Speaker 1 If you want to find us, find us, but don't throw a 15-yard penalty. Like, that affects the game too much.

Speaker 1 I feel like we should be able to show our emotions and wear emotions on our sleeves because we work so hard for what we do.

Speaker 1 Let the boys play.

Speaker 1 Make football fun again. Let us talk.
It's an emotional sport.
