I think it's 55. I think I had to lower it. I've been going in between.
Like, I don't like it when it's too, too soft.
I like right in the middle.
I like a 65 to 75. Yeah, I like a 65 75.

Receive. It even fits.
Oh, my God.
See if I can sneak this in here.
Honestly, there's not that big of a difference. It kind of looks like the same person.
Say it again, Trav. You hear me?
Oh, I hear you. Can you hear me?
Yeah, I can hear you.
I was saying there's not that much of a difference. It kind of looks like the same person.
Nice. The fuck you laughing at, Jason? Welcome back to new heights, ladies and gentlemen, 92 percenters. I got this silly ass mascot head on, but I'll tell you why in a second. This show is presented by Onedrive. And what is it? Produced by Wave Sports and entertainment. Only done this a hundred times. Don't know why I can't remember it. Make sure you follow the show on all social media ew heistshow with one s. And don't forget, this show is sponsored by who the fuck? Hold on, let me read this real quick. Having a good old time. And this show is brought to you by Buffalo wild Wings. Let's go, sports part. Jason, you got a clap. Thank you.
Well done, Travis. Travis.
Jason, why don't you tell the people what we got coming up?
All right. As Travis said, this is a wondery show produced by our friends at Wave Sports and entertainment. Coming up, this episode, we got a great one plan for United two percenters. As you can see, Travis is dressed to the nines for this occasion. We're going to talk about the big Yetis big game in LA.
Big game? I had 89 yards. That's not a big game.
The rest of the biggest stories from around the league, including Jared Golf and Jaden Daniels, breaking all kinds of records. We're also going to pick our finalists for the new Heights Film club. And of course, wrap up with some more of your not dumb questions. But before we get to anything, I gotta be honest, I was really hungry. We kind of rushing off the golf course and I thought I'd get right to it. Buffalo Wild Wing Sports bar is our official sponsor for this episode and they sent me a bunch of buffalo wild wings. So I'm gonna eat some wild wings. I mean, dude, they sent. So I can't even, like. I have wings. I don't even know what to do with all this is probably, I mean, no joke. Let me do some math real quick. So two and a half, five. This is probably, I probably got about, I don't know, 15 dead chickens sitting in my lap right now, deep fried and covered in delicious sauces.
Talk to me.
Dirty as well as blue cheese. Got this wonderful bacon burger, which I really like how they've layered it.
That smells delicious. Now that you know who this show is brought to you by and Jason's eating his wings, I might as well tell you guys why I even have this mascot head on. And where it comes from. It comes from good old lubbock, Texas. That's right. The Texas tech Red Raiders beat up on our Cincinnati Bearcats over the weekend. And me and Pat had a little fun, little wager that we, we came up with. If. If the Bearcats would have won, Pat would have been at the press conference that he has every single week wearing a bearcat mascot head. And sure enough, as you can see, the Bearcats lost. Cuz I'm sitting here looking like an idiot wearing this red Raiders mascot.
Let you know right now, you don't look like an idiot at all. You look like.
Well, I mean, Jason like, this is. It's just who I am. All right. I can. I feel like, you know, I mean, you just gotta own it.
You look like a full on version of Yosemite Sam, is what you look like. I mean, that's the only thing. The Red Raiders clearly stole Yosemite Sam.
It is kind of an honor, though, because I used to play with this guy in NCAA football, like, growing up, when you could just do the full mascot teams. I used to play with this guy all the time.
Well, you're killing it.
Yeah.
Thanks a lot, coach Satterfield. Much appreciated.
It's extremely hot under here. You don't get a lot of. There's not a lot of air coming through this thing, so it kind of feels like I'm hyperventilating a little bit.
Do you have a newfound respect for mascots? Trying to podcast in it and realizing that they do, like, flips and run around a stadium?
Not that I didn't already respect them, but, I mean, if this is what they're doing in Lubbock, Texas, in 100 degree dry ass heat, fuck that.
Oh, my gosh. That thing's got some bacteria in there.
And on top of that, they're running around getting everybody excited.
Yeah. Does that thing have mold growing?
Whatever.
That.
Whatever that guy does. Guns up. Guns up. You think he just does guns up to everybody?
I mean, probably that's what I'm doing.
I'm not.
What else can you do?
Definitely not going above and beyond, but shout out to the Texas tech Red Raiders for getting the dub. There's the first time the Bearcats played Texas or played tech. And me and Pat wanted to have some fun with it, knowing that I don't think we'd ever matched up in the football field before. So, Bearcats, I need you guys next time, baby. But, uh, you didn't disappoint either. That was a great game, man.
Does he have a Stetson cowboy hat? Do you know what kind of. What brand cowboy hat that is?
I have no idea.
What, uh.
You like that one?
Howdy. Hey. You mean give us your best? If. If Red Raider talked, give us your best. What you think Red Raider would sound like? Yee.
Come on down to Lubbock, Texas. That's all I got.
Yeah, I mean, that's it.
We'll throw batteries at you, we'll throw tortillas at you. You come down here, you gonna get your ass.
Whoop.
Yeehoo. Yeehoo.
Welcome to Lubbock, Texas, where there's tumbleweeds and college football. That's all we got.
Yeah. Tumbleweed college football. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
That was awesome.
Oh, God.
Whoo.
And I'm still repping the Bearcats, baby, all day.
You see, I gotta give another shout out before we get started. I played that TPC course in Connecticut. The woman that got me on her name, Aunt Robin got me on the course.
Okay, misses Rob.
She was trying to find garage beers to give us for the round, but apparently they're not in Connecticut. We got to get on Andy and those guys to freaking step up their game in Connecticut. But she did hook us up with some Neil's donuts. Let you know I already had one.
Yeah. Good thing they're over there.
They might give Lamar's a run for their money out there in KC.
Ooh, the golden yellow box. The yellow boxes are dangerous.
Gosh, these donuts were great.
I love a good yellow box. I've been. I'm at that point in the season where I'm like, let me just push it away. Just. I see that golden glazed doughnut just, just sitting in the yellow box. I'm just like, mmm, I don't need that today. I'll get it tomorrow. Knowing that they don't have boxes of donuts in the building every day, just lie to myself so that I don't just grab ten donuts and run around the corner and just stuff my face like a little fat kid. What happened to all the donuts?
It's a sad day when you're in your NFL career and you realize you've hit that age where you can't just eat whatever you wanted.
It's like, God damn it.
I remember I used to live for ice cream the day before games.
Oh, yeah, the little snack bar. Yeah, yeah. And I'll treat you cheeseburger. I'll treat you.
Check. You got to like year twelve. And Brent Selleck said something to me before one of the games one day. He's like, man, I shouldn't have had a milkshake last night. I just feel like crap. I was like, yeah, selick, it's not the fact you play football, it's the milkshake. And then I got to year twelve and I ate some ice cream and then tried to go play football the next day and I was like, oh, shit, this is.
Why am I so lethargic today? I just feel like a. Like a big blob.
Yeah.
Am I bloated? My bloating?
Well, I'm gonna keep eating these buffalo wild wings and donuts, so thank you, buffalo wild wings. And buffalo wild wings. Go. Triple bacon cheeseburger. And the buffalo bacon sauce was tremendous to be delivered.
Let's go, sports bar.
All right, new news.
New news.
New news is brought to you by our friends at Varney Airlines, where good leads the way.
How do you even remember? I guess you read it, so.
Yeah. New news is brought to you by our friends at United Airlines, where good leads the way. Did United ever get back to us on whether they like the whole Varney Airlines bit or not their fans?
All right, first bit of new news we got is Kelsey Carjam out here in Kansas City. That's right. My foundation, 87 and running, has the annual foundation event. This year is the second year we've done a car show or basically a block party style event that will showcase some of the city's top automobiles from the fuel house, a fun car club out here, and then I guess a bunch of others that are, that are lined up. It's gonna be fun. I should have my old school 70 Chevelle all revved up and ready to rock and roll. I'll bring one of the other cars that I have. Jason should be there. And it is this Saturday. That's why, reminding you guys, all the proceeds to the event will go to 87 and running foundation, which benefits the inner city of Kansas City, Cleveland heights, Ohio, and. And just the underserved youth in the, in the city. And it's. It's always fun to get out here in Kansas City. Kansas City. They show up every single time that I've done anything foundation wise, and I love them for it. So if you're in town for the game, just stopping through Orlando, just live here in Kansas City and want to get out on Saturday afternoon.
Come on down to the Kelsey car jam, baby. It's gonna be downtown in the KDC area. And tickets are still available for the Kelsey carjam at 87 and running.org, i believe. Ooh, check it out, guys. Would love to see you guys down there.
I can't wait to go. I missed last year. Obviously, now that I'm retired, I had the opportunity to go this year, and I'm looking forward to it.
No, it'll be fun, man. It'd be fun. Always some good food, some fun cars, and just. Just a nice, fun evening for the, for the city to enjoy.
Do people that attend get to drive any of these cars? Is there like a test track? No, no, no. Do you think people will let me potentially drive some of the cars?
I think you could persuade. You're very good. You can persuade some people.
Probably should wait on the garage beers, then.
Yeah.
All right, let's talk about grotesque. Exclusive clip. We talked about the premiere of Trav's new show, grotesque.
Grotesque.
And 92% is. We've got a very special treat for you today and a treat for Jason, because I haven't seen this either. Tonight, Wednesday, October 2. Travis's character is going to be introduced.
In episode three, old Ed Lachlan.
That's right. Ed. Wait, what. What's your character's name?
Ed Lachlan.
Did you get to choose Eddie?
Nope.
Is that an honor of Ed Kelsey?
Fate. It's just fate, man. Just lines up perfect.
I could see Ed Kelsey being a murderer. What if somebody told me dad killed somebody? I'd be like, yes.
It's for good reason, though. I could see it for good reason.
Yeah, he wouldn't kill anybody.
Yeah.
Like, he's not a. I don't think a serial killer.
I don't think Ed Kelsey could do the things that are going on in grotesque.
We're going to talk about that in a second. Yes. Episode three at 10:00 p.m. on FX tonight, you can see Travis's character. What's Ed? What?
Lachlan.
Ed Lachlan gonna make his debut. But you don't have to wait, because the grotesque team sent us an exclusive, never before seen clip of Travis's first scene to air right here, right now. I can't wait.
I'm just gonna watch you watch it. I don't want to watch it. Thank you, handsome. What's your name? Ed Lachlan. But you can call me Eddie.
Eddie.
Something tells me when you're done with your little siggy break here, you're gonna want to get the hell out of here. And I don't blame you.
I already know what's happening in this show.
But should you be driving?
Probably not, but I'm going to anyway.
Of course you are.
Of course I am.
Windows down.
Mm hmm.
Hair blowing in the wind.
You know it.
This is so. I can't watch it. I can't even listen to it.
No.
Little something.
Not gonna lie. You killed her there.
You're full of shit. No, you see?
Look great too.
Niecy's awesome. And Niecy made it to the LA game.
I saw that.
How about that? She came out and supported me at the Chargers game. Was. Was cool seeing her on the sideline. Mama Kelse had nothing but amazing things to say about her, as does everybody else.
All right, I'm gonna need you to stop dodging.
Oh, shit.
Did you boil a baby or not, Jason?
Do I look like I have the, like, courage or the wild even know what to say? The fucked up this about me to boil a fucking baby?
No, you don't. But Ed Lachlan might.
Jason, just watch the show.
I think you're so in that clip, you're dressed like you work at the mental hospital.
What's the difference between. What is that?
Listen, I've seen Shutter island before. Travis, when you start working at mental institutions, all sorts of crazy things start happening with the characters. People are who you think are one thing, start turning into other things.
No, that's because I have seen.
I've seen before, baby. So somebody in there is crazy. And I don't know who it is, but it's gonna have. It might be niecy. It probably is Nisi.
What? You just said it was me, and now you're saying it's niece? You have no idea what's.
I don't think you're a real character. I think you're a made up figment of Nisi's imagination, is what I think.
Damn, man, I can't even be a real character. If you didn't watch the first two episodes, make sure you watch the first two episodes so you know what you're getting yourself into. This shit is crazy. It is insane. It is. It's very mysterious.
I can't wait.
I can't. Yeah, I'm excited for everybody to keep seeing how. How everything unfolds. So tonight, grotesque. On FX. Make sure you guys check it out. And you can also check it out on Hulu the next day.
Oh, nice.
Makes it easy. If you want to just binge watch the first three episodes. But if you want to see it live, check it out tonight. And moving on to the last bit of nude news. If you're looking for a new cookbook and want to support a great cause. Mama Kelse.
Haha.
Mama Donna has contributed to the cooking with the stars. With 2 hours on it. She has a new cookbook coming out. Jason. This book is being sold to support the Star children's Fund and raise money for pediatric cancer research, which is always a good cause.
Mom's the best.
Isn't she just the sweetest woman in the world?
Yes, she is.
And she knows how to cook now, mama.
She does. She does.
You don't get. You don't get two big old boys like this without knowing how to cook.
That's right.
All right. Now, the star fund was funded by green bay Packard legend and two time super bowl champion Bart star. How about that? And his wife, Sherry star. So that's why the two r's on the foundation. Star Children's foundation.
There we go.
And this is the recipe Mama Kelse submitted. So let's see what Mama Kel stew in there.
I think we know what it is.
Was it lasagna? No, that was dad baked sweet and spicy chicken breast. She never fucking made this for us.
Yeah, I've never had this. What I'm calling nonsense on this.
She got real good when she left. When she, when we left the house.
She got real good when dad stopped slowing her down. She.
Yeah, dad would just eat the chicken breast before they even. God damn it, Ed. All right, now. And that does it for a new news brought to you by United Airlines, where good leads the way. Let's get to some fan mentions.
Yeah, please.
All right, now, before we get some week four games, let's shout out some fan mentions. Fan mentions of the week is brought to you by Meta Quest. That's right, expand your world. Your virtual world is ready, player one. All right, let's get to some fan message, though. First up, we got a ton of movie suggestions from you 92 percenters for the new Heights film club that we were talking about last week. Hey, I'm pretty excited about. I'm actually, I'm really into watching some, some movies right now. I don't know what happened. I just got the bug of just, like, press and play, you know, we.
Were also in the middle of a season where you're, like, traveling a lot and there's plenty of time to watch movies.
Nice. All right, so let's start this thing off for the film club, where we're going to narrow this list down to two finalists. Right now, me and Jason are. And then we're going to go ahead. Yeah, and then we're going to go ahead and give those two finalists a vote to the 92 percenters on which one we do first, on which one we're going to watch. Yes. We'll review the winning movie on the next one. Dre plus exclusive episode.
Does that mean whichever one loses, we're watching second?
No, it does not. We'll just keep doing these, these votes. Keep, yeah, keep doing these votes and let the 92 percenters tell us what they want to hear, because it's, you know, it's up to them.
So we've narrowed it down to these choices.
Yeah, these are, these are the movies suggestions that we got that we saw that were kind of along the lines that we were talking about last week one. The first one being spaceballs.
I mean, I would love to rewatch spaceballs.
I would love to rewatch it. I only remember it like, it was almost like it was a parody of, like, star wars, you know? Like, wasn't it. Wasn't it just like a joke?
It wasn't almost like a parody. It was a full on parody.
Yeah, that's what I thought. Like, yeah, I don't remember it all like that. I just remember them having, like, the tall, gold looking thing that looked like it's supposed to be fucking whatever artist it was.
Spaceball. I was so young when I watched baseball is. I watched a part of it as an adult, and I can just tell that they're a. I mean, there's infinitely more references I'm gonna get and enjoy out of that movie now, being older.
Do we have to watch the Star wars that came out before that, though, to understand the references and stuff? I feel like we might have to.
Have you not seen all the Star wars movies?
I don't remember them.
There's no, you know, them enough to get spaceballs. Spaceballs are spaceballs. Remember the titans?
I remember like it was yesterday. I don't even need to watch that one.
Kazam. Do you remember that one?
Kazam is a classic. Shaquille O'Neal.
Yeah, love. Actually, I don't remember that one.
Yeah. Oh, who's that guy? Hugh Grant, maybe?
Hugh Grant, the guy that went to the T. Swift show in England?
Yeah. Who is the fucking man?
Yeah.
He was pretty good looking. I mean, still got it for sure. Necessary roughness. This was. I remember it was a football movie. I couldn't tell you anybody that was in it.
Let me look this up real quick. Necessary roughness.
I don't know why I want to say Sinbad was in it.
Necessary roughness. Sinbad is in it. That is correct. I don't remember this movie.
Dude, I was in on every Sinbad movie. I forget half of them, though. I forget the titles of them.
I know which one you're talking about. They, like, have the race at the end of it.
Yes. Dude, what movie was that?
Sisterhood of the traveling pants. Definitely not watching that one again. This movie does remind. That does remind me of another movie.
Blake Lively. Nice. I'm surprised you even.
Sorry, Blake. Sorry.
I'm surprised you've even seen that.
I haven't seen that, and I don't plan on seeing it. I. I was out after it said sisterhood and got even.
Household full of sisterhood.
I got even more out when it said, of the traveling pants I got. There's multiple things I'm not interested in about this movie and just the title alone. But this does remind me of. What's the movie with Whoopi Goldberg where she's the nun?
I'd sister act.
Sister act. Get this one out of there. We need sister act in there.
Sister act two, though. I want sister act two, though. Sister act two was. That was more my jam. They brought in, I believe, kids, and it was. It was a whole lot more fun.
I feel like I've already rewatched the Goonies is, like, so common that you end up rewatching it, right?
Yeah.
Have you seen the Goonies?
Yes, I've seen the Goonies, Jason.
Okay, who's. Who's the large fellow in Goonies? What's his name? No, not him. Not him.
Snickers guy. I don't fucking know. Chunk you talking about? Oh, you're the guy. You mean the little fucking kid.
Oh, my gosh.
You're talking about a grown ass man. My best friend's wedding.
When did you watch all these movies?
I'm pretty sure I've seen it. Who's in it before I look it up? Uh, I don't know.
I mean.
Oh, Julia Roberts.
Yep.
No, I haven't seen that one either.
Yeah, I'm not watching that one again. Parent trap.
Classic.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Classic Disney movie.
Bridget Jones. Diary.
No, thank you.
No, not a big.
Not a big diary guy.
Heavyweights.
I mean, I watched it yesterday. I'll watch it again. And then I have everybody on the team watching heavyweights.
This one is one that mom recommended because we used to watch it all the time as kids.
Oh, mom.
Swiss family Robinson again.
One of those that I just. I'd rather not have you rewatched it. No.
Trav.
Yeah.
Do yourself a favor. Yeah, you should go rewatch it.
Do you love it?
No, it's terrible.
It's not terrible. Okay? It was fucking state of the art hot. It was the best, hottest movie out in 1960 when it came out when mom was a kid.
Go rewatch it.
You love watching old 1960s movies, though. You're fucking. You love that shit.
Of course I do. Listen, I. I get, like, some guilty pleasure watching it, but it's one of those old ones that it puts up the disclaimer at the front end, like, oh, we're about to see some culturally inappropriate material for 2024.
It's not funny. We can't laugh at that.
It's just full on animal.
Like, dude, I'm out.
It's animal mistreatment. It's. There's a full on tiger and a dog fighting in one of the scenes and it's a little bit too real. You know what I mean? Like, it ain't. I don't care how good you are at acting. They're riding an ostrich or an emu at one of the points that's full on. Just riding it.
I mean, I don't think you get.
Away with that these days.
No, you can't. So it looks like it's either. Spaceballs.
We got a pick from these.
Kazam. These are the ones I'm thinking right now. Spaceballs. Kazam. Give me your top two. I'll give you my top two. And then we'll just go from there.
Of these, of these. I don't. These aren't my favorite that were submitted. These are like, Brandon and Jake's.
It's not up to you, Jason. This is why they go to one tree.
Plus, I mean, I've already watched. I watch heavyweights probably once a month. It's the best movie of all time. I can't rewatch heavyweights. It's the best, by far the best movie on here next is spaceballs. I'll put this. Spaceballs. I'll put spaceballs up there. It's not really a kid movie, which is kind of what the reason we did this, but spaceballs. I feel like we're going to get way more references being older and watching it, and I haven't watched it in its entirety in a long time, so I'll go spaceballs.
All right.
And. Oh, yeah, we said two. Yeah, there's just a lot of chick flicks. We got a lot of swifties trying to make us watch bad movies. I'll go spaceballs. And can we do sister act?
Sister act?
How about naked guns? Baseball's a naked guy. I can't. I'll go spaceballs. And the Goonies. I've seen the Goonies and heavyweights because they're two, like, movies that people watch frequently.
All right. I'm gonna say. I mean, it's a. I guess it's spaceballs. I was gonna say necessary roughness. Just.
I've never seen that movie, which would actually pretty dope.
That's what.
Necessary roughness in there, for sure, because I've never even seen it. Yeah, I think I have. Like, after I looked at the thing, I was like, maybe I have seen this, but I certainly don't remember it or any details.
It's like some type of college team. Necessary roughness, and I guess. Let's go, spaceballs. Fuck it.
You know, Bridger Jones diary?
I mean, I'll watch it. I don't have a problem with any of these, Jason. I'll watch whatever one.
I don't have a problem with them either. But if we put one of these chick flicks on there, it's gonna fucking win.
All right, which chick flick? We got to do one chick flick and one that we. All right. So necessary.
I just. What is sisterhood of the traveling pants about? Like, it's just talking about hand me down pants. That's the. That's the premise of the movie hand me downs.
What the fuck do you have against hand me downs? I don't have anything.
I just don't know. But why does there need to be.
A movie about hand me down fucking guy? Because sometimes it turns into a nice story, Jason, I just accidentally.
I just tried to google sisterhood of the traveling pants. I typed in sisterhood of the hand me downs.
You're a dickhead. Did traveling pants show up?
No.
That would have been great.
You know, I'm gonna go here. All right, we're gonna do this. We're gonna wikipedia this. What is sisterhood?
No, Jason, it's. This isn't that. This is not that. Why are you turning it into that?
What do you mean?
This is just. We pick two fucking names and keep it moving and let the 92 percenters do it.
All right. Sister of the traveling pants.
God damn it.
2005 american calming of age comedy drama film directed by Ken Kwapis.
And I'm sure you reading that just made you think, oh, yeah, I want to watch this. I don't want to watch this. It gave you absolutely nothing.
That's a long plot. Rotten tomatoes. An approval rating of 82%. It's high. Must be some good pants. I mean, I'm gonna have to watch this fucking movie now.
This is the point of you doing.
All right. Sisterhood of the traveling pants it is. Let's go. So I'll watch some pants. It's gonna be great. Twilight. At least Twilight had vampires. There was something exciting.
You don't. You don't know what this movie has.
I know this movie does not have vampires. This is not like fucking dusk till dawn. They're not gonna be vampires appearing out of nowhere.
Who would have fucking thought that Jason needed vampires to watch a fucking movie about women? He goes right back to the plot.

USA. I'm so fucking pumped. So we won the President's cup this weekend. I don't know if everybody saw that, but that was at the press conference afterwards, and sure enough, I mean, you heard it. You got to fight for your right to party, baby. All day, every day. I made sure I gave him a shout out. I shot him a shot of a text on IG. Just made sure I let him know. You better be partying your ass off right now, brother. You guys did it. So I was pumped. I was pumped to see him give me a shout out on the, on the podium, man. What a guy. And shout out to the entire president's team and us. The us team.
Tony does realize, though, that he's shouting at the Beastie boys, not Travis. Kelsey. Right?
Everybody knows that me and Tony go. We go way back. That's my guy.
Timeout. Why have I never gotten the opportunity to hang out with you and Tony?
Because, Jason, you have to leave the house. We talk about this year, year in, year out.
I don't want to leave the house.
You're a golfer now, though. You have a golf t shirt on right now. So you are a golfer.
I tell you what, if I. If I swung more like Tony and, like, didn't take my backswing like John Daley, I would be so better at golf.
Dude. He is so just smooth. He doesn't get too crazy with the backswing.
We short on the backswing, too. He's got a nice. He doesn't over rotate it, which I always. I'm like, why. Why don't I just do that?
Yeah. Big dude. Big guy. 6566. However tall Toady is, man, do you.
Remember when he dislocated his ankle and kept playing?
Yeah.
Remember that?
He's a warrior. Yeah, I do remember that.
What is the worst place to drop? You got to fight for your right to party.
Um, a sobriety at a, um.
At a. At the, uh. I can't say that at the.
I can't say any of this.
At the ICU.
Yeah, the DUI checkpoint. Basically, anything that has to do with. You shouldn't be partying after.
At the end of a depends commercial.
After a gambling unanimous convention. I don't.
Gamblers Anonymous. Yeah, I kind of want to say, like, a funeral, but I kind of also feel like it'd be fucking dope.
Oh, you got to celebrate. You got to celebrate.
That's a great line to drop it if you.
Depending on how they passed, you know? But you got to celebrate.
They passed.
Partying might not want to. I don't want to go too hard. This isn't funny, man.
What's the worst place to drop a. You gotta fight for your right to party? I don't know. Just not getting anything else off the top of my head.
A chess championship.
When you've been drinking all day and you come home.
That's pretty.
Before, without giving any text messages to your wife or heads up, and you walk through the door.
You gotta fight.
While Bennett's asleep. It's not gonna go over well.
A divorce hearing.
Well, I probably would be at a divorce hearing if I did that. All right, let's go.
All right. That was fun. That was fun. And for our last fan mention, dancing Jason is officially everywhere. All over Philadelphia, you got murals and all types of shit popping up in Philly because you were in that South Philly tuxedo.
Hey, baby.
Up on stage, we got this tweet from 92 percenter, our light, all good, with a mural of Jason in his South Philly tuxedo. That's right.
Oh, so it's not actually painted on. It's just like a piece of paper that he just kind of like glues.
Yeah, it's like a wall paint. Wallpaper.
He's like applying wallpaper.
Still sweet, though. Yeah.
I mean, it's dope. Murals, vandalism, it's. It's. You know, the city's gonna have to clean it up.
Vandalism.
Yes.
You can take that off. It's not vandalism. I mean.
Well, listen, vandalism is part of Philadelphia's pastime.
I think it's chasing.
Don't encourage vandalism.
Who encouraged it, though? Don't have people out here trying to fucking vandalize everything. That's how you get the broken glass theory. Did you ever tp a house growing up?
No.
Did you ever, like, egg a car?
No.
Okay. All right, we'll keep it moving.
Did you?
Of course not.
I feel like you definitely did.
Yeah, I just.
Why are you bringing it up?
I just was curious if you had ever done that. You look like.
Whose car did you egg?
I didn't egg anybody's car, Jason.
I just aged. Somebody's just happened.
Carton eggs only cost, like, $2.50 cent.
Yeah. What'd you do with the eggs?
Boiled them.
You boil them?
What else do you do with eggs?
You made hard boiled eggs and then you threw them. That's dangerous.
I just need the protein. Throw some salt.
Oh, you ate them?
Yeah.
All right. What'd you do with the toilet paper? Get the eggs on the back end?
No, I tp'd my friend's house. It was somebody that I knew, though. I'm not about to say who it is.
Come on, you gotta say.
Lying to their face. My entire life, saying that it wasn't me.
But now they're gonna watch this. They're gonna know it's them.
I have no idea.
They're gonna know.
No way. There's absolutely no way.
See if I can guess whose house would. Travis, TP.
You wouldn't know. It was one of the catholic school friends.
One of the guys on the baseball team.
Not baseball.
Hockey.
Not hockey either.
Yeah. Then I'm lost.
It's all good, though.
You hung out with catholic school guys that weren't on your baseball hockey team?
I mean, friends hang out with friends. Like the Catholic. I would go hang out with the hockey friends and they would have their catholic school friends and all that. Yeah. Would go up to Courtland oval, play baseball, football, basketball. You know, it's a little sandlot. Sandlot group, so it's part of the.
Pickup group that played at Fairfax.
Courtland Oval, baby. Right there on Fairmount.
Which one's that one? I don't remember that one. There's.
You would know it if you saw it. It's between Fairmount and. I mean, it's on Fairmount between Warrensville Center Road and, like, Taylor, you would know it if you saw it.
Like. Like you're going to Beechwood, but it's, like, before that.
Yeah, exactly. I'm actually surprised you even knew which general direction I was going.
Well, Fairmont's tricky because it curves right around there.
It is straight. It is very straight.
No, no. Once you get past Lee, it does that little curve, like.
Oh, you talking about going downtown? Yeah. All right.
Yeah. Yeah.
The beautiful street, though. Shout out to Cleveland Heights, Ohio. And dancing. Jason was also an early Halloween costume. How about Halloween's right around the corner, brother. Yes, sir.
I.
Hey. Hey.
I did not do.
What is that about as good as what yours was too? That was pretty on point.
It is pretty good.
Yeah, the beard is hilarious. I mean, she kind of looks like the Grinch. Like, dressed up as Jason the Grinch version of Jason.
Kelsey.
Yeah, that's pretty good. Shout out to 92 percenter. Ella yellow Burke. The costume. Ten out of ten. The look. Ten out of ten. The dance. Ten out of ten. I think she fucking killed it.
Yeah, I give it a. I mean, she's probably better at dancing than I am.
Yeah, don't sell yourself short, sweetie. You are a star. New news.
Is this like a sorority?
This is a sorority thing.
Nice.
I was wondering, who does Halloween before October?
So they probably are the ones who recommended the sisterhood of the traveling pants thing.
Nice.
They're probably big travel pants.
Way to tie it all together. All right, well, can't wait to watch it. And that does it for fan mentions of the week, brought to you by meta Quest. Expand your world with a virtual reality. Gotta love it. It's time to talk about our next sponsor, Buffalo Wild Wings. And as you saw earlier on the episode, Jason treated himself to some buffalo wild wings. Go right here on the show.
That's right. Sometimes in life you just get a craving for some beat ups. And that's exactly what happened, Trav. I needed some of my favorites. The triple bacon burger, and of course, some traditional wings with the new buffalo bacon sauce.
Well, good news, 92 percenters. You can be just like Jason and treat yourself to some b dubs too. When you order buffalo wild wings, go and spend $15 or more. You get ten free boneless wings. With the promo code. Go boneless. Jason, I know you're not a boneless guy, but I'm gonna take full advantage of this go boneless offer.
You go ahead and do it. It's true. But, um, listen, even though I don't believe in boneless wings, I do believe in chicken nuggets, and I know a good deal when I see one.
All right, now, 92%. You can get this great deal and some great wings. Right now, just order pickup or delivery from your local Buffalo wild wings go to get ten free boneless wings. When you spend $15 using promo code, go boneless.
Buffalo Wild Wings. Let's go, sports bar.
It's time to talk about our partner, American Express. Jason, all the 92 percenters know this is the first year you aren't playing football in a very, very long time. What's something that you've been wanting to do with more time on your hands.
Actually, I'm pretty excited to check out some more live stuff like concerts and sporting events, and I'll probably catch a few shows, see some more your games, and hopefully baseball games, basketball game.
Well, good news, Jason. Events can be more exciting with Amex card. Members can access dedicated card member entrances at select entertainment venues. Nice.
How about that?
Events and music festivals so you can get to the action sooner.
Love that. Love to hear it. Trav, what's the first thing you do when you get into the venue for a game or concert? Do you go right to your seat or do you go to a get a beverage, maybe some food?
I'm typically late, so I go straight to the seats. That's a good point, no matter where you're headed. One thing is for sure, sporting events and concerts can be more exciting with Amex.
That's right. That's the powerful backing of American Express. For terms and to learn more, visit american express.com.

All right, let's talk some football. Let's kick things off with Travis's game. G 17, Chargers ten.
Oh, yeah.
How about that?
Two high powered offenses right there.
We gotta talk about the game. You got any initial thoughts for us?
I'll tell you what, man, that stadium is a.
It's so unique.
Yeah, so dope. And I think it's even cooler during the day because you get the day games. You get the sun beaming through kind of like that. That plexiglass or whatever that is over the top. And it's just, it really light. Like, brings light into that stadium. Like no other stadium I've been in, or at least no other dome I've ever been in. That place is. That place was fun and it was rockin man. Yeah. That was the first, like, Chargers game I had been to in a long time where they're like, fan base is starting to really get behind the.
Get the fuck out of here. You know, there are more chief fans there.
I, we. I mean, Chiefs travel, but at the same time, like, Chargers games are never that packed. Like.
Yeah, it's usually dominant whenever we play them. It's usually a sea of Eagles fans. I'm not.
And then on top of that, it's not like, packed to the tee. It's like that game packed. Yeah, that thing was, I mean, it was rockin'I. Enjoyed the atmosphere.
Cool.
Obviously, still a lot of things we got to clean up on the offensive side defensively, man, we are pretty damn stout right now outside of that first drive for. For a touchdown and the. The turnover that led to their, their field goal. I think that our defense is the best in the league right now, and I just love spags and everybody on that defensive side that's playing their tail off both in the run in the past game. Huge, huge fourth down stops week in, week out. Teams are just trying to dial up those, that extra, trying to dial up plays on and kind of steal an extra fourth down conversion on us late in the game and keep control of the game and trying to take the lead. And our defense just keeps coming up big. It happened in the Falcons game. It happened in the Bengals game. It happened in this game. And it's just, I mean, I can't say how much, how much I appreciate these guys and how hard they're working throughout the week to be prepared for these kind of things and. Yeah, but on the offensive side of the ball, man, we, we got to get rolling, and it's not going to be any easier with seeing Rashid go down during the game.
I just love the way that guy was playing the game of football, how he was attacking every single day in practice. You know, sometimes you just root so hard for the guys that do it the right way. And Rashid been doing that, man. And there was a huge dagger to me when. When I saw him go down, man. Yeah, outside of that, found a way to get the ball in the end zone late, running the hell of the running the hell out of the ball. Our offensive line is our biggest weapon right now. Those guys up front are fucking paving the way, tight ends included, with Noah Gray, my guy Jay Wiley coming in and we're. And wide receivers doing their job in the run game. You know, going in there, digging out safeties or just making blocks downfield. You got to find a way to win ball games, and sometimes it takes those little things that don't get the, that don't get, like, kind of the. The highlight all the time, you know, for sure. Wide receivers going in, digging out safeties for an extra four or five yards or just doing enough to get the running back downhill so we can get the first down and then just running backs running their tail.
I was getting those extra two, three yards on every single run, and I couldn't be happier for Kareem Hunt to come back and have, you know, such a good game on his first game back in Kansas City, knowing everything that happened to him back. And I think it was 2018, and I just love that guy, man. Another northeast Ohio ball player that just loves to play the game and does, does it right, man.
Yeah, absolutely. It was awesome seeing Kareem back out on the field for you guys. Yeah, it was a great game for you. You got another one in the win column. I know you guys are still trying to click things offensively at a more efficient level, but, hey, 40 is 40, and we did get something going this past week, and that is the big Yeti. The big yeti, obviously had notably been struggling a little bit through the first three weeks. Well, he finally gets going.
Struggling. In terms of stats, I was still playing winning football, and that. That's all that fucking matters.
Well, he still led all receivers with seven receptions for 89 yards. First drive of the game was the big 38 yard reception. Let's check this out. First driver, the game, 38 yard reception. The big yeti catches it over the shoulder. Beautiful ball by Pat Mahomes.
Just throwing dimes.
There we go. Anyways, a lot of noise throughout the week. Jim Nance had. You're back on the broadcast all week. Hot takes. You got to find something else to someone else to troll this week. I thought Andy said it best when he said, I don't give a damn what anybody says, essentially. What did Andy say?
He definitely said something in the press conference afterwards where it's like, yeah, all. Everything else is noise. And I said it on here on the podcast last week. Everything outside of the building is just noise. Big game 80 says, what is 89 yards a big game is a solid game.
Yeah.
Big game is like, I scored touchdown or something.
If you don't go over the hundred yard mark, it's not a big game for the beginning. Just being honest.
I'm not good. Yeah. I mean, I was accountable this game. I didn't have any drops, which was, you know, what happened in Atlanta to make me feel like I had a bad game, but I still didn't have an outstanding game. There's a, there's a lot that goes into having a great game. But I did have a seven catches, which is a lot of times I get the rock and I got north with them. So it is what it is. Help my team find a way to win and that is all that will ever matter.
For those of you that don't know, Pat Mahomes is 1312 in games. He's trailed by ten or more points. That's right.
What?
The only quarterback with a winning record in such situations.
What?
Since at least 1950. Who the fuck.
Was doing it back in 1950? Who's the old gunslinger? Final way to make these comebacks after. Back when they were running the wishbone.
I didn't even know they had quarterbacks in 1950. He's also twelve and. Oh, the last twelve times is.
No, no, no, you can.
Okay, yeah, sorry.
Yep, he's a baseball player. Everybody knows baseball players are superstitious.
You can't tell. Okay, sorry. My fault, my fault.
Keep, keep moving, keep moving, keep moving.
Early in the game or she. Rice. Oh, man. Unfortunately injured on an interception return. Little friendly fire. Hate when that happens. The rest of the Seavers did step up and Rashid's absence for the game. The most electric play of the game came in the second quarter. Pat connects with Xavier Worthy, the rookie, on a 54 yard touchdown. It was now ten seven going into the half. Per next gen stats, Pat's 54 yard pass to Xavier Worthy that we're going to show you right here, traveled 62.2 yards in the air. That's right. Mahomes. His longest completion by air distance of his career. I didn't know that. I would have thought he would have thrown one that far to Tyree. Nice little throwback. For those of you that don't know what that is, it's when you act like you're naked out. You pull up and throw back the direction of which you came. Because a lot of times on the naked's or boot action, everybody kind of flows in the direction the quarterbacks rolling out to. So these have been kind of hot this year. It feels like the throwbacks have been on everybody's radar.
Yeah, I think we, we had been running the ball so well these first couple of weeks, I think the, the safety started getting a little bit more eyes in the backfield and what, man, you take your eyes off of Xavier Worthy, man, that guy is going to be past you in a, a blink of an eye.
You ain't lying.
Yeah, and he was absolutely flying on this one. Running at a top speed of 21.46 mph, which is that. That'll get you take it in school zone, kid.
I was about to say the same thing.
That'll get you a speeding ticket. That'll get you pulled over. Third fastest play by a ball carrier this season. I think we saw one last night on Monday night countdown where Derek Henry was rolling and going, I think closer to 22 mph, which is fucking mind blowing that a man that big can get moving that fucking fast. But oh, my goodness, X was flying on that one. Came up big in the, later on in the game to seal the game off on the, on the final drive, knowing that we were trying to run the clock out there. Just can't say enough about what he's been for this offense so far. And just to see him keep growing in it, you know, becoming more and more accountable every single week.
Seems like the rookie is finding more and more of his place within the offense. Obviously, Rice going down, he's being thrust into more plays that he was probably getting ready to perform in the game, but he sure answered the bell.
Happy for him, man.
And if you guys stepped up in Pacheco's absence as well. Kareem Hunt, back in the Casey uniform and had 69 yards on 14 carries. Nice day for Kareem. And running back Samaj P. Ryan came up big with the game winning touchdown. That's right in the fourth quarter. It was also his first touchdown as a Kansas City chief. Hey, game winner and your first touchdown.
Shout out to someaje, man. If you watch this clip, man, you'll see my guy Trey Smith just absolutely bulldoze everybody because it comes, it, it becomes a bit of like a cloud of dust there for a second down there at the goal line, and then you just see six five just come in. It just bulldoze, just Zamboni drive Samaji into the end zone there. Given that extra push.
Alrighty. Chris Jones in the defense another week, another dominating performance by the Chiefs defense, who held the Chargers to ten points and didn't allow a single point in the last 48 minutes, 53 seconds of the game. The defense finished with five tackles for lost, ten quarterback hits and two sacks, both coming from none other then Stone Cold Jones. He didn't need to steal it this week.
CEO, baby.
That's right. Stone Cold Jones biggest play of the game came with four minutes left in the game. Third down, sacks. Justin Herbert forcing the Chargers to punt. 326 left to play. I think I remember seeing this. He got it. Was he at end on that one?
I think so. Man. He has the thing about this defense, man, you got so many guys that can rush the quarterback in so many different ways. They can get. A guy that plays, typically plays the end, he can get inside and make moves on a, on a guard and a guy like Chris Jones, who, he can literally hurt you anywhere on the field when, when he's rushing the quarterback and sometimes getting, getting the big man outside and given just the, the edge to rush is, is a tackle's worst nightmare.
Man, you guys did this a bunch and you brought both of them. This is what I like. So you guys brought, we, so we call it flash in the game. I saw it brought multiple times, which is what we used to call the will. And the free safety would blitz and you'd be a fire zone, typically, and you would rush five. That's like the conventional way of running, like a wham. Blitz with the free safety in the will away for everybody.
That doesn't. A fire zone blitz is when you blitz five guys and you play defense or play zone coverage in the back end with six.
Yeah, usually it's three d, three under conveyor. Actually, that's probably conventionally. Now everybody's doing it and running palms behind it with, like, quarters, which is.
You'Re, you're protecting the deeper throw and forcing the quarterback to have to think quick on his feet on where he needs to go with the ball underneath. Meaning instead of the deeper routes, you throw to the shorter routes.
And the reason that that one is getting tricky is, like, because of what they do right here. They actually only brought four. So they make it look like it's going to be that same five guys rushing, but really they're only going to rush four and play like a conventional coverage behind it. So Herbert gets caught. You can tell, like, he thinks it's there.
It's tough.
Also, the running back does a terrible job. That's who got Chris the sack, the running back missing that Blitzer got that.
Guys are hitting it, though, man.
This is what happens. They mug the guys up and they come. So then the running backs, like, I got to be firm in that gap. Then all of a sudden, they drop in the safety split on the other side.
And they are guys, when they hit.
It now, there's a worthy in it. 21 miles an hour. There's speed.
You ain't lying. Guys are flying in there either way.
Chris Jones gets a big sack towards the end of the game. It doesn't seem like anybody can block him. I'm not just saying this because Chris has been good for a while, that I dare I say he might be the most impressive I've ever seen him right now. Through the first four weeks, he just feels like he's. Anytime he's one on one, he's winning. I don't know. It's been impressive.
Yeah. Especially if you're not getting the ball out on time, that's for damn sure. Chris. Yeah, Chris is just. He's. He's on the hunt, man. He's. Yeah, he's. He. The CEO was sac nation, baby. Come on down. It's stone cold Jones.
Don't do that voice.
Sorry. Well, the. Our guys. Guys over at waves got us some LeBron stats of the game. Sunday's game was the first time a reigning college national championship winning coach faced off against the reigning Super bowl winning coach. How about that? Jim Bahar ball was the national champion at Michigan last year and is the Chargers 6th head coach since. Since I've been in the league, which is crazy. And to be honest, he brought some of his staff from Michigan, which is a smart move. I mean, you're comfortable with your guys. And their defensive coordinator is a coach of mine, and Jason's actually.
That's right. Actually, his father. I actually, Jesse's dad was a coach with me in Philadelphia. Rick.
Rick.
Men. Rick was. He was the head coach of Cincinnati before we got there with Mark Dantonio.
Yeah.
Anyways, go ahead. Sorry.
No. So Jesse Minter and I got to say what's up to him on the field. So when we were at Cincinnati, this is how. This is how, you know, we're getting fucking old. I say, seriously, what this.
Guys that were. Yeah, go.
So gas. Are typically the graduate assistants at colleges are typically the guys that they do a lot of the. I don't want to say dirty work because that makes it seem like it's not a great.
I mean, that's what it is. They're doing work.
You're doing a lot of work. You're putting excel sheets together. You're putting all the. All the film together. You're. You're basically doing all the tedious stuff so that the offensive and defensive coordinators can be a little bit more focused on the bigger things. Right.
Well, they want to focus on the tape and they want to focus on the game planning. So the gas end up doing like, basically making all of the scout team cards. They end up in putting a lot of the data into the computers, like all of the backlogging of everything. The gas are kind of in charge of.
Yeah. All the organizational stuff. Yeah. And it's, it's really, it's a big piece in the, in the grand scheme of things when it comes down to it. And Jesse was one of my favorite. I should call him coach minner now that he's a defensive coordinator in the, in the NFL.
But, no, he's Jesse does, he's not our coach. He's Jesse.
He was literally holding up the, the scout team cards as I was a scout team quarterback my freshman year.
That's funny.
Which is hilarious because now he's game planning against me in the National Football League 15 years later. And, yeah, it's, it was awesome to see, though, man. And to be honest, that dude, I mean, he has got, got shit figured out.
Yeah, he's killing it.
I mean, I was talking to Pat and there was one time in the game where it was a big third down, I think, and, and he, he put together a blitz that we had not seen before on, on tape and, and got us, and got us pretty good there. But, yeah, shout out to Jesse. He's, he's absolutely killing it. Coach minner couldn't be more proud to say that I was once your scout team quarterback and, yeah, shout out to Mike Elson. So that was actually halfway through my red shirt. Freshman year, I started working with the tight ends to, to be more in tune with the offense and they wanted to get me on the field and some of the up tempo stuff. Coach Kelly wanted to get me on the field and some of the up tempo stuff, blah, blah, blah. Coach Nelson was technically my first ever tight end coach that I ever had. And I'll tell you what, he had a fun room. He was also the special teams coach, and we had a blast talking about a lot of the special teams guys. Christian McCafferty and Colin McCafferty. Colin McCaffrey, sorry.
Like, Colin McCafferty. And, yeah, it was just, it was cool to see him and I couldn't be happier for those guys not only getting the national championship this year, but doing a great job in LA with the Chargers this year, man. So it's pretty cool playing against that coaching staff and I got all the respect in the world for coach Harbaugh as well.
Do you talk to Jesse after the game?
I went up to and said, what's up to him, man? I said, how about us, huh? 15 years later, look at us.
Who would have thought?
Who would have thought.
Yeah.
Would have thought me. Fuck it up your cards and fucking Travis do this.
Oh, yeah. I got you about to make plays, son.
Yeah. Go over to wide receiver, tell them to do something completely different and completely fuck the entire. Like, I'm not. I'm not here to make the defense better. I'm trying to shine, baby.
Hey, these dbs think this route's coming. That's what they're game plan against is. Given this, that's 100%. Oh, my gosh.
I remember.
When you're a starter, it's the most annoying thing.
Oh, my God. It's the best shit ever. I was literally. I remember they didn't. They didn't, like, tell the D line, don't sack the quarterback. They didn't tell the D line. They, like, especially the scout team. The scout team QB. It was like, no. Like, that's your job, is to, like, just eat shit for a year. Like, you're there to, like, be bullied. And, man, Adam Hoppel used to fucking.
Adam Hopple great.
Used to, like, clothesline me. So I told. So one day, I just had enough of it, and I was just like, I told the. The guard and center that were. That he was lining up in front of us, like, bro, just let him through. They're like, what? I was just like, just do it. Just one time. Just do it. Did that. I got the snap out of shotgun, and I immediately just fucked, like, dodgeball. Just threw it right at him. Fucking speared my shit.
Just like.
And after that, just gave me a few, like, elbows to the fucking head, and I was just like, I mean, I deserved it, but fuck you. Yeah, just. Just. I had to get at least one lick in. Shout out to hop, man. Great, dude.
Same thing happened when I was a scout team defense. Back when I still played middle lineback. We're doing a practice in. They used to let the offensive line cut the scout team guys. Like, they never let anybody's cut, but they would let those guys be cutting us to practice. And this is why Dantonio was great. This is why Dantonio was great. So they were cutting guys, and we're getting freaking mad. And Dantonio walked into the huddle. He's like, you're just gonna let him cut you guys? You're just gonna let these guys, like, do that to you? And I'm like, no, I'm not letting that. So next play, I freaking Bobby Bouchetta full on tackle. Bradley glass, of course, doesn't see it coming this, like.
Yeah, because that's. Yeah, that's fucking hilarious. God damn it. Sometimes you just gotta fucking bow up, boys. Even if, you know, you. You'll get yelled at or get your ass kicked for it. Got.
Got me the scout team player of the year, defensive player of the year, and a boy.
We went to Hawaii that year, and I was a part of the scout team that got invited to Hawaii. Got me on the plane, maybe.
Is this a LeBron stat? Travis officially passes legendary tight end Tony Gonzalez to become chief's all time leader in receptions when he caught his 917th career reception. I have a news to say. This is not a LeBron stat. That is an all time stat.
It's. Yeah, it's a pretty, pretty legit stats.
Considering who held the stat previously.
Yeah.
And what he's meant to the game of football in the tight end position. This is a milestone stat. And congratulations, Trav, I know you're a humble guy, but that is incredible to see. To be honest with you, when we were watching Tony do it, I don't think anybody felt, and I still feel like most of his records aren't going to be broken, like, untouched. It's so freaking crazy when you look at his career stats, but to even touch something that he did with the Chiefs is mind blowing in itself.
It's crazy how it all comes full circle, man.
Yeah.
Not only being in conversations with Tony, but being at the top of the leaderboard with the Kansas City Chiefs, who have been around since the sixties, have been such an unbelievable organization in the national Football League. One of the. One of the beginning organizations that made it all the way through that are still, you know, at their peak. And I just. I love Kansas City and the Chiefs and the opportunity that I've had here in KC and a lot of that is. Is due to the rich history that they have. And a guy like Tony Gonzalez, who has been a mentor to me, he's been right there, a lifeline if I ever needed it. I fucking love the guy. He's. He's motivated me in ways that he doesn't even know. And I just. I've tried my entire career to match what he was to this organization, what he was to this. To this game of football, and to be in conversations, not to say that I am as good as Tony, not to say that I've surpassed Tony to be in a conversation as. As cool as this, having as many receptions in the, in the organization that he spent the majority of his career in.
It's just an honor, man. And, and I. Tony, I love your brother, and it's. I just. I can't thank you enough for who you are as a person and who you've been in my, in my career, and I've. I've taken everything you've learned, you've taught me, and I've ran with it, man. And I've. I've tried to. I've tried to become better because of it and. Yeah, just love that guy, man. It's an honor.
Next week, the Chiefs are playing the Saints on Monday night Football.
What? Oh, yeah, baby.
How about that? I'm coming to town.
Travis, you are the whole crew. Nice. You guys won't be in Bristol for this one?
No, it's only one Monday night game.

The doubleheaders were in Bristol. The single games were on site. Yeah. The Chiefs have played the Saints twice before during Travis's career. 2016 Chiefs win 27 21 2020 at the Superdome. The Chiefs win 32 29. We'll see how this one goes. Saints look good the first couple weeks. They've taken a little step back, but don't, hey, don't get caught sleeping now. Pretty good.
Come on now. It's. That game is gonna ship. Yeah. It's the NFL, baby.

All right, here we go. Now, let's move on to Jason's week four back in Bristol for the old Monday night countdown. Hey, Monday night doubleheader, you guys, you just mentioned you go to Bristol for the back, the double headers, you guys have on Monday Night Football and ESPN. For the second week in a row, Jason's shoes stole the spotlight on Monday night countdown.
Why is everyone obsessed with my footwear?
Because Jason doesn't dress up. Jason dresses as. That's why.
What am I dressed as here? I'm just wearing fucking boots. I didn't even know I was gonna be showing on television.
I don't know. You're dressed as Jason, Kelsey. I guess you had to kick your feet up onto the desk to show the world the Tim's my dog wore some butters on Monday night countdown. Don't get it twisted, man. Everybody knew if you laced those things up a height, you were getting fucking smoked as soon as you walked through the door. I have since learned that you can't lace up your butters. You just got to be willing to get fucking smoked. It was actually a present that you got your legs up there. Those must be some stretchy jeans.
These were not zero stretch.
Nice. Well, you're just a powerful. You was just a powerful man.
Those are good old wranglers.
We also got this shot of you, and I need you to explain exactly what was going on. Your first ever word spoken on ESPN Monday night countdown was had tits in it. And now you are showing your tits, essentially on this.
True. It's true. Yeah. I, uh. So hold on, let me.
Your very tan tits.
Yeah. Somebody asked me what complexion this was. I was like, I don't know, guys.
I'm just. He used a bronzer.
We were doing a segment on Hutch island talking about how.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
They find out how to get Hutch one on ones and build them into overload fronts and different put them wide so that you can't really chip them. And the guard has trouble getting out to help. So, yeah, we were doing the island vibe. So Marcus Spears had my ties made. He had hats and sunglasses and then this shirt. I don't know whose idea this shirt was, but it was handed to me, and I was just showing off my new shirt.
Nice. That makes sense.
I honestly didn't even know what it was when I was holding it up until it was, like, already at that point. And then I looked down, I was like, oh, okay.
All right, nice. Well, the head and glasses really made it a full get up, so, yeah. Dressed as Hutch island. Yeah. So fits right in. Love the jacket. I thought this was one of the most entertaining, you know, pregame countdowns that you guys had done to date. You guys spoke upon, spoke about even Tua and the concussion stuff. That he had been going through and how was he going to have to weigh that? It was such an educated conversation between the three of you guys and SVP. I just really love everybody's input. Everybody has a very different view of things, and you guys are just. I just love the. The. I don't know, the camaraderie you guys got up there, man. It's cool. It's fun to watch.
I appreciate that. We're getting better and better. You know, I think it's, you know, we're on our fourth time doing it together, which is crazy that, you know, we're doing this every single week live and you're still figuring out how it all works together. But it's been helpful to me to be on there with guys that have been doing it at a high level for so long. You know what I mean? Like, and know what they're doing. Like, I can lean on Ryan, I can leave on swag, I can lean on Scott. You know, they're the veterans right now. I'm the freaking scout team player of the year.
Fucking spear. You're starting left tackle? Yeah, dude, I got to get Ryan's. I got to get RC's fucking suit connect. Mandy, those suits are, dude, it's ridiculous.
I don't even know what it is.
They're looking sharp. Only a special guy can make that exact suit, so I got to get his connect.
But what is that style called that he's wearing?
You're going to have to ask RC, man. I honestly, I don't know, but it looks smooth. It looks smooth. That lapel is very different. It is, bro.
It was clean. Very clean. All right, let's talk about the rest of the storylines coming out of the NFL from week four. We're going to start with eagles go down in Tampa. Do we have to talk about this? We got to talk about.
Oh, yeah, we're definitely talking about this. We're half eagles, half Chiefs, man. So bucks 33, eagles 16. Jason, go ahead and tell us your initial thoughts.
I never go into a game not expecting the Birds to win. I always, for some reason, and still going into game, think the Birds are going to perform well and win the game. That being said, I was nervous going into this game and I was nervous because we were missing AJ Brown and Devontae Smith and we were going up against a coordinator and Todd Bowles who, when you are missing key players, can take away certain parts of the game if you're one dimensional. That being said, I was not anticipating us playing so bad on both sides of the football that early. Like, we had two, three and outs, and before we blinked, it was 21 nothing in the first half. You know, I think they, they both sides just really struggled to start the game offensively. There were some drops. The runs that we called didn't really work. And, you know, we got sacked on one of them and it just, like, we got off to a really slow start. And then defensively, I just, you know, partially credit to Tampa Bay for really seeing stuff on film and taking advantage of some of the soft coverages that I think we had been playing.
And right off the get go, you just saw Baker ripping the ball into the flat. We had a missed tackle early from my guy, Avante, and it just felt like we were giving them a lot of yardage. And then after that, it just was like a cascading event. Like, we couldn't stop the run. It felt like we were nervous to go and attack guys, and then it felt like they were just hitting the ball in behind. Like, it just felt like they could do whatever they want. It was. And I think they set it up right from the get go. They. They knew that that was there and they hit that and they're like, no, you're going to have to defend this area. And it felt like we just struggled from there. And part of it's like, listen, Baker played out of his mind.
He is playing great fucking football.
Like, dude, he's playing lights out this year. I know he struggled against Denver last week, but it turns out it looks like Denver is pretty damn good on defense. But, I mean, Baker, it just felt like, especially to start the game, he couldn't miss. He was throwing the ball perfectly. My man slays right on the receiver on like, a post route, and he just puts it in the perfect spot for a touchdown. He wasn't the dealer. Baker was the freaking pit boss. Like, he was controlling the entire thing. It was impressive to watch, to be honest with you. Yeah, but, yeah, we got to play better defensively. I mean, there's no mistake. Like, we got to play better on both sides. I don't want to, like, single out the defensive side.
Yeah.
Offensively, there were obviously guys missing, so it's kind of easier to understand why they struggled. Defensively, we got to get that figured out. Offensively, we at least got to do better than we did. We had zero yard. I forget what the stat line was. At one point, it was like zero yards to like 250. Like, it was something outrageous.
At one point in the first half, the Bucks had 255 total yards. Of offense while the Eagles had zero. I mean, bro, I don't think I've ever even heard of that.
But it happened so fast. Like, we did. We had. This is what it was. We had three three and outs, and before we knew it, like, it was like that. It was an insane start to the game. I mean, the most one sided start to a game I've seen in a long time.
I mean, you want to talk about an insane stat? I'm like. It's like, becoming more, like, in my head, the more I think about it. Like, what the fuck? You guys, you guys went down 24 nothing in the middle of the second quarter, and we're never able to really get back.
But you know how it is. Like, here's. Here's reality. We on first and second. Like, dude, if you're missing AJ Brown, Devontae Smith, you better be good on first and second down. In a first or second down, we had drops, we had the runs didn't really hit because Todd, he was bringing corner cat because he didn't. Like, they were like, you bring a corner cat into the run and the safety's coming down. Like, it's going to be hard to run the ball into that look. Yeah, like, the runs weren't working. We had the passes. We did call. Like, we had a couple drops. We ran a screen that didn't. That, I think got dropped or didn't work. We got sacked. You can't be in third and long. You can't be in third and long against a team like that without your best two players. It's just going to be dang near impossible.
Tough sledding.
They were playing cover one. They're doing pick stunts with the running backs guy, like, good luck passing off that stunt. I know everybody in Philadelphia is frustrated. I was frustrated watching it. I damn sure know the guys out there were frustrated and pissed.
Yep. And one of their biggest leaders, Brandon Graham, actually called a team meeting on the sidelines. And, I mean, we don't got to talk about it. Everybody knows BG is the heart of that team. He's a hard soul. He's a guy that's been there for fucking years.
BG is still playing at a very high level.
Hell, yeah.
He shouldn't even be playing. The amount of snaps he's playing with, where he's at in his career, probably.
He's doing anything he fucking can to get this team to win.
Yeah, he has to, and he knows that. And he's. It's early. It's. It's four weeks into the year. I still think they have talent to improve things.
They have fucking talent. Hell, yeah, they fucking have talent.
I still think they have a talent to improve things. Vic's been in this league for a long time. He's going to be on these guys to get these things fixed, figured out. I know Nick is going to be on both sides of the ball and, you know, I know everybody's on Jalen. Obviously, Jalen didn't play well, but it's.
It not. It doesn't sound like anybody really played.
That great, but that's what I'm saying. I don't want to single on him. The offense struggled and the offense struggled a lot because of the guys that were out and because they weren't, like, when they were good on 1st, 2nd down, they had a couple good drives, but, like, once they got into those long situations, like, it's just going to be hard if you don't have the horses. Yes, it is about AJ and Devante being, like, physical freaks of nature in great receivers. It's also just about, like, chemistry and timing and having reps with guys. Like, that's what it's just got Johan dots. Like, he has only been here for, like, a few weeks.
Yeah.
So, like, it's just frustrating to watch and it's. It's. It's hard to execute in those situations.
There's no magic formula to. To fix it other than you just got to go to fucking work and be willing to. To be your own worst critic.
Yeah.
To not make it a single fucking excuse and, you know, just go out there and find a way and have a mentality together. Find a way to have everybody on the same fucking page that you guys are going to get this thing done. I think this is going to be a motivating tool for the guys in that building because everybody gives a fuck. You know, there's not. There's not too many non competitors in that building, so I expect everybody to figure it out, man. So shout out to the birds. But the LeBron stat of the game. Jalen Hurts has 43 career regular season rushing touchdowns, tied with Steve Young for the third most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in NFL history. Only Cam Newton, 75. Holy shit. And Josh Allen have more. Josh Allen already has more. Oh, my God. I think I actually remember hearing that he fucking surpassed him last week or two weeks ago. Week five. Next week, the Eagles are on a by. Then they come back. Week six at home versus the Browns.
How about that?
You hate to go into a by after a game like that, but who knows? Maybe it'll be a nice little fresh start for everybody to come back motivated and ready to fucking rock. The Eagles next four games are against teams with a combined three and 13 record.
Yeah, don't sleep on that absolutely means sleep on that.
The bangalore means nothing.
The Bengals are the seven in every game that they've been in. They've been damn near winning them. The Jags.
The Jags have some guys.
They had the rough game against Buffalo that I saw on Monday night. I expected them to put up a better performance and they put a goose egg up on me, but they still got some. They, they've been close. They should have Wondez. I mean, CJ got it done at the end of the game, but they're right there against Houston last week. The Giants, like, they're not great, but they're in all these games. I don't know if we have the, if we even have the Giants Cowboys Thursday night. That was the weirdest freaking division game I've ever seen. Watching it was like neither team really was like, fighting to win. Did you feel that way? Did you watch it?
I watched it, but I was more interested in the pre game and halftime talk, really, just because I love those guys.
You love big wit and fitzy and all those guys.
Tony, you know, it was outside of you guys, they're my favorite.
Yeah, they're. They're fantastic. But I, like, it just felt like nobody was, like, taking the game. It felt like both teams are, like, kind of playing conservative and just hoping the other team messed up.
Yeah.
And then, like, nobody messed up. So it was just like this weird game where, like, nobody played good or bad.
I don't know.
It was very. It was very strange.
Yeah, it was eerie.
The Browns game. Yeah, the Browns are playing bad right now, but they got Jim Schwartz.
Honestly, they were a call here and there away from winning last week against the Raiders. Alrighty.
Week four roundup. Let's talk about all the big headlines from the rest of the league. Three undefeated teams lost this week. There's only two undefeated teams left. I think, you know, one of them, the other one that is still undefeated, or the Minnesota Vikings. The three undefeated teams that lost this week are the Steelers, Seahawks and Bills. I did. I mean, we got to talk about the Bills Ravens game. I did not see the Bills struggling this much. I mean, the Ravens are a tough matchup for him. Heck, they're a tough matchup for anybody. If freaking Derek Henry's rushing like that.
Oh, my big man.
The King himself had 199 yards rushing one rushing touchdown, a receiving touchdown. Don't see that every day from the big man. One of those touchdowns came off of an 87 yard run in which he reached over 21 miles an hour. That's right. He was speeding in the school zone. The Ravens won this game 35 to ten against a Buffalo Bills team that looked pretty much unbeatable the week before against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was an amazing show of feat by the Ravens, who seemed to be finally figuring out this new piece. They got at running back with Derek Henry combined with Lamar Jackson and the rest of the other fast guys they got out on the perimeter. It feels like they do so much misdirection but still manage to play with insane speed.
Tough football. Yeah.
The last undefeated team that took their l was the Steelers. Yeah, the mighty, mighty Steelers. That defense has been so good. But they struggled early against the Indianapolis Colts getting out to a slow start. The Colts, they start up 14 or 17 nothing. I can't remember this. It was a 17 nothing lead or is a 14 nothing.
I couldn't tell you. All I know is that Joe Flacco came in there at 39 years old and played his tail off again.
He did. Anthony Richard was playing pretty well, too. He got him the first touchdown and then worked them down in the red zone. Flacco finished that one off to make it 14 and then Joe did the rest. I will say fields and the Steelers and company, once they figured it out, were humming, but it was a little.
Bit too little too late still. It's still a good football team, though.
Steelers a good football team. So the Colts Colts got a really good defense and it's been that way. I don't know what Anthony Richardson's injury status is, but Joe Flacco has proven that he is still, still an unbelievable quarterback, especially after last season's Browns end of the season that he finished off with that playoff run. After the game, Flacco was told by reporter the Anthony Richardson thought he was cooler than he expected him to be. And Flaco's response was, Anthony Richardson's mom is eight days older than I am, so there's no chance in the world he thinks I'm cool. And I'm here to say Flacco, comments like that are exactly why Anthony Richardson thinks you're cool. Three rookie quarterbacks led their teams to wins in week four. I don't know that you would call Bo Nicks. Is week an outstanding week from him?
Ten to nine is a wild ass fucking NFL game.
Jets Jake. We got to bring Jets Jake in.
I'm pretty sure he had negative yards.
Of offense or something like that.
Think about this before that, at halftime, I think he had negative seven yards, dude, on seven on six receptions or some shit like that. I don't think I've ever seen that many receptions and somebody have negative yards. Bo Nick's bad or anything like that. I'm just saying that is a wild stat to fucking look at at halftime.
We can go into another wild stat here. And that is the rookie phenom. That's right, phenom Jaden Daniels.
This dude is unbelievable, man. He is fun to watch.
The stat in particular that everyone seems to be bringing up is the 82.1% completion.
Let's do four games, ladies and gentlemen.
It's the number one all time through four games. It might be a LeBron stat, but that is a damn good LeBron stat.
That's one you can hang your hat on. That's the one right there.
And it's what's been unique is the first game for sure. It was all Dinkin and Duncan and the ball was out quick and he's still getting that ball out quick.
He's got a quick trigger.
Yeah, but now you're seeing in part of it might be defenses have seen that and there it's forced them to.
Defend reacting to it.
Yeah, you're seeing him take the shots down the field. You're seeing him make the big throws to McClure. And yeah, I was going to say.
Into his receivers credit, they're making these fucking plays, man. They are making big time plays. Zach. Zach Ertz, baby.
Zachary.
They're making fucking plays, baby.
Just talking to my boy. They listen. They are having fun right now. These last two weeks have been a coming out party for this offense. Cliff Kingsbury has them rolling. Jaden Daniels, man. I don't know if he's gonna be the next CJ stroud, the next Pat Mahomes.
Daniels, man.
There's something I like about watching it. Like it. There's a poise, there's a. There's a personality.
Personality, man.
He's confident, man. I love watching him play.
You use one of my favorite words on Monday night countdown, his moxie. Yeah, fucking moxie.
What is Andy calling it? Doesn't he call it like vibrato or what's. Oh, my God.
Bravado.
He's caught. He says it instead of swagger, he uses another term and it's like an old school term or he did in Philly.
I have no idea. I've never heard him say any of those words either way, though, man, the guy, he's got the moxie, man, and he's got the bull by the horns over there. Cliff Kingsbury dialing the shit up against his former team. Yeah, you could tell they were, they were taking some good shots. I'm happy as hell for my, my two guys, man. I missed the hell out of these two guys. Nikki Allegretti and Andrew Wiley, two of my favorite teammates of all time. And you heard Andrew say he's having one of the most fun years of his life playing for that team. And sometimes the, the excitement, and that's not to take away from anything that we did here in KC, the excitement of everybody not necessarily counting you in, maybe not counting you out, but not counting you in. And to be able to date week in, week out, you know, I don't know, answer that test and do it in a way that they're doing it, man. It looks like they're having a fucking fun over there in Washington right now, hitting on all cylinders, man. And I just could, I couldn't be happier for those two guys, for sure.
And on top of that, Cliff Kingsbury, who I, who I know through old Patty Mahomes, man.
Yeah. Jayden Daniels is taking the NFL by storm right now. And hopefully we get to keep watching that because it's exciting to watch, especially when a young guy and a team are dominating like that.
Oh, yeah.
And the last rookie quarterback to get a win column this week was Kayla Williams, where diapers, their second win of the season. He clearly played his best game so far. Hopefully he can keep on getting that thing moving over there in Chicago. I think everybody's ready for a Chicago Bears football team to be damn good. No fun league. This week we saw another flag for a celebration that really put the nose.
This is ridiculous.
Jets wide receiver Alan Lazard celebrated a twelve yard reception for first down with finger guns.
Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew. We don't want this to be like, oh, NFL players shooting guns. And I get that. But unless this is so subtle, unless you're like, doing it at a defender, it shouldn't be a flag if you want to find the guy after the game for doing it all, whatever. That's up to the NFL for wanting to protect their league. But I, I think it is absolutely ridiculous that a guy is on the ground shooting, pointing fingers for getting a first down, saying we're going that way, or, you know, whatever he might be doing. I just think it's too much, man. It's too much and it's affecting the. It's affecting the game in the wrong way. I get the guys got to play by the rules and stuff like that, but I just. I don't want to get the NFL on my ass for saying something, but I just think this is too far.
Speaker zero. No, you're right.
It's my second amendment.
It.
I have the right to bear arms.
You don't have the right to shoot at people, though, which is why they should make it taunting. If you direct it at a player, an official, a fan, like, if it directed at somebody, like, if it is done to, like, do anything to a person, I agree it should be taunting. But if you're just doing it, like, ha, I'm shooting guns up in the sky, what the hell are we doing to. How is that taunting?
If the league doesn't want to just find them afterwards, don't make it a part of the game where it, like, affects the team. I think it's a little too much for that.
They've done this to, like, overcompensate, like, people pointing it at people and, like. Or like, to be like, I don't know. It's stupid. It's dumb. It's dumb that this cost them 15 yards. There was nothing about this that was remotely violent. It was playful. Look at him. He's probably making pew, pew, pew. Sounds as he does it.
Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew. Kevin Hart.
Yeah. Earlier this season, Bengals wide receiver Andre Yoshivas was also fine for a bow and arrow. Yeah, we talked about this one already. Listen, trav, you've been the king of bow and Arrows.
I don't do it during the game. I think it's.
Well, you. You have done it before. You don't do it anymore during the game.
No, I've seen you do it as.
A celebration before when it wasn't a Pendleton.
Yeah, right. I think it was, like, 2016 or something like that. They made it a flag. I always thought that was bogus, but I haven't done it in the field of play during the game. I've done it, like, as I come out of the tunnel and stuff.
But does it feel like the league is cracking down on celebrations? No, they've kind of already had these rules. I mean, the gut, the, like, weaponry rule has been in place since, what, like, 2016 or something like that? Or 2019, whenever it went into place. It's not a new rule. It's just that people are seeing them and seeing how absurd it is, especially when it's not like there was a guy that did, like, a full on AK 47 at a guy like that one, I get. Let's not let a guy AK 47 another player. But, like, little pew pews or like a bow and arrow up in the sky that aren't directed to people. I think we can let that slide. Like, what happens if you do a slingshot? Is a slingshot allowed?
I don't know. I might try it. I might try that one. See if I get fucking 15 yard penalty.
What about you? Can. You can still do a sword. You can come out and do, like, a little, right? Azor, what kind of weapons aren't allowed? NFL.
I know. I.
Anything can be a weapon.
I had to appeal a fine for giving a teammate of mine a stoke. Old stunner.
Did the teammate submit a complaint to HR?
No, it was just after a touchdown, and the NFL saw it and said I was a violent act.
When you put the teammate was in on it?
Yeah.
Tell you what, I stone coach donnered a friend in a bar, and he was not in on it, and he was upset about it.
It. I thought it was like, you are fucking ridiculous, though. You will break somebody's fucking back. Stunner. There's no, like, in between. Full throttle.
I'm going straight kick to the nuts. Getting hunched over, exposed for breaking this guy's.
What an electric move. Shout out. This stone holds stunner himself. Steve Austin, the rattlesnake.
What's another weapon that we could toe the line with here? What's a.
What's a. I think slingshot? Slingshot and sword.
Could you set up, like a catapult system and catapult the football into the crowd?
No, I don't think that'll hit. I mean, if it goes into the crowd, it's probably going to be.
What's another?
Chucks num. Chucks would be pretty funny.
Could you act like you put your head in a guillotine and just.
That's crazy. Throwing star. I don't think people would get the gist.
Throw it. Nunchucks. Could you do little Michelangelo?
Michelangelo, you didn't go Bruce Lee when Michelangelo.
I'm all teenage mutant Ninja Turtles, baby. I go, who's this Bruce Lee kid?
You wore him on your shirt.
One. I love Bruce Lee. I'm just fucking. But I don't Bruce Lee. I don't think of nunchucks, I think of Michelangelo when I think of nunchucks.
When I think of nunchucks, I think of Bruce Lee playing ping pong with nunchucks.
He played Bruce. I don't remember that. Clip. That's awesome.
I think it's CGI, but it probably is.
Who cares? They had CGI back then.
No, that's why it makes it gave him more like kind of like, really. All right, let's get out of it.
What if you, what if you did a poisoned chalice? You took a drink from the poisoned chalice.
I think we're just, I think we're, I think we're done with this.
Ooh. Blow dart. Ace Ventura spear. Jeff, that was javelin. It was a spear. Was javelin. And now for a new addition to round up the week, we got coach quote of the week. I've been waiting to do this ever since I sat down with Nick Saban. Had ESPN event. Sometimes coaches just say it best, trav. Hit me.
During the post, post game press conference, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris was asked about tight end Kyle Pitts not getting any catches in the game this week. And Morris responded, it was just about going out there and winning the game. Stats are for losers, man. I don't get involved in that stuff. Our stats officially for losers. I don't think they're for losers. I think when you're getting good stats, you're, you're helping your team win. And when you do it at a consistent level and you're scoring touchdowns and you're winning football games, they do matter. But I hear what he's saying, though, and it's, it's a part of my philosophy and not being upset that I'm not getting book stats this year is that it's, it's about winning the football game. And he's, he's focused on wins and losses. And speaking of stats, we got a pretty crazy one from the, from that game. Falcons beat the Saints 26 24 on Sunday, and the Saints became the first team to score at least 24 points. Allow no offensive touchdowns and lose in 40 years.
Allow no defensive touchdowns.
Allow no offensive touchdowns.
Oh, like, no, like pick sixes or anything. No offense.
I mean, they didn't allow the other team to score a touchdown.
How'd they get all their points?
A defensive touchdown, maybe special teams field goals.
Field goals, yeah, that's a, that is.
Fucking outrageous and that crazy.
Listen, this is my viewpoint on stats.
Talk to me.
Stats are numbers. What I care about is the football. Where does it go? Does it go in the end zone? Do we get points? Points are also numbers. But points determine games and wins and losses. Stats are numbers. Numbers are nerds. Nerds are losers. Therefore stats are losers.
If you care enough about stats for it to change your day. I think that's when you have a. You don't have a winning mentality. So I get what coach Morris is saying, but at the same time, if you're putting the ball in the end zone, you're going to get stats. It is what it is.
Yeah, but you're not counting the stats. You're just counting the points.
You're not counting the stats.
All we care about is visually, does that ball go into that territory right there? We get points. Does that ball go through when we're on defense, does the ball go that way or does it stay where it's at? So I care about. That's about the numbers. You're right, but numbers are for the analytics people.
When you get the ball, pencil butchers. When you're getting the ball, the zit faces. When you're getting the ball in the end zone, you're getting the stats and the four eyes. It is what it is. I will say this. Kyle Pitts is a fucking unbelievable athlete, great football player. I think trying to get the ball in his hands is a pretty good. Pretty good plan for the. For the Falcons. Yeah.
In all seriousness, they should probably get his stats up because he's a really good weapon to utilize.
That's. That's. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. And he's one of their better. You know, he's. He's just. He's an unbelievable, like, athlete out there on the field.
I think he has some catches. They actually do score an offensive touchdown.
That's another way to look at it. See?
There we go.
Before we get out of here, let's wrap up the show with no dumb questions, because there's no such thing as dumb questions. 92 percenters. Just dumbass people answering them. Hey, no dumb questions is brought to you by the powerful backing of American Express. Oh, my gosh. We are an american express ad.
Now, how about that?
This is the coolest shit ever. Name your favorite american express ad.
My favorite american express ad?
Yeah, your favorite. Your favorite commercial ever recorded.
Don't leave home without it. Like the old school one.
Don't steal home without it. Come on. It's right there, Jason.
That's not my favorite one, but that is a good one.
You know what I'm talking about?
Yes. The. It's from major league. Yeah. And it's. It is a great one.
That one's fun.
What is. Why can't I think of his name right now?
Wesley Snipes.
Yeah, but it's what's his name in the.
Willie Maze. Hey, Willie Mays Hayes gets, like, maze hit like haze.
That's not a. It's not a real one, but it is a great one, dog. So actually, was it real? Did American express money to be in that movie?
That's what I'm saying. Genius.
American Express.
Yeah. It's back when it might have been back when you didn't have to fucking.
Yeah, I don't know how that works.
All I know is that's classic. But either way, all right, shout out to American Express. What is a favorite piece of football sports memorabilia that you guys own? I can't tell you exactly what I own because then I. Somebody would rob my house for it. But I got some good shit. I got some good shit and I'm very proud of it. One of the coolest items that I have that I've actually. I've had right here on my desk since jason got it for me.
Don't say that one. Don't say that one.
Is a babe Ruth baby Ruth grade nine, which is out of ten. It's a pretty goddamn good grade. Yeah. It's got a baby baby Ruth signature baseball right here from back in the day. And it looks like it's got a few other people on it, too, but I'm not gonna. Who's Henry Williams? Golly, this is. This is pretty fucking good. Who's that on the bottom? Bob Feller. Who's Bob Feller?
Legendary Cleveland indian baby.
Oh, yeah. I mean, this is the coolest thing. Thing that I've ever gotten from jason, for sure. See if I can.
See if I can competition there.
Yeah. I might go play catch with it or something.
Play a sandwich. Baseball with baseball. What is it about a baseball signed? Baseball is the best.
It's our. It's our childhood, man.
I don't know why. It's just, like, ingrained in my head.
Did you. Did you ever get anybody to sign a baseball when you were younger? Like, the satisfaction.
I went and waited in the Cleveland Indians parking lot.
I mean, we did that after every fucking game.
I. One time, I believe I did get a Kenny Lofton autograph on the third baseline. I was sitting there with. I think I'm remembering this right, because the Sailors had third base season tickets, and I got to go with them one time, and they would come right by his section every warm up, and he would, like, sign some autographs.
Shout out to Kenny Lofton, man. I've been fortunate enough to say what's up to him and. And be cool with them. And he's just been the absolute best. Knowing that we were nineties Cleveland kids and just thought the fucking world. And still do, man. But Kenny, I still got a. I still gotta come out and play some golf with you. Jason will probably join now that he's a golfer. So we'll have to put a round together. I did the exact same thing. I got Kenny Lofton and Davis David justice at a 1997 MLB all star game.
You got them in that game?
Yeah, dad took me down there.
I remember when you got to go down with that. We had two tickets. You guys had fun. That was great.
Yeah, you went the year before.
That's an all star game. We never. There wasn't like an all star game every year in Cleveland.
Travis, you didn't even like baseball though. Dad knew I would fucking appreciate it more and I would remember it more. And I did. And one of the coolest things, I got Washington a picture of Kenny Lofton in a Atlanta Braves jersey and hat because 1997, we traded him right before the deadline to get, I believe, David justice. If I'm. If I'm not mistaken.
I don't remember who we got, but that sounds right.
I guess I forget exactly who we traded for. Oh no. Marquis Grissom was a part of that one. Fun times and shout out to Kenny.
My favorite piece of sports memorabilia is actually very timely because this person just passed away Monday night while I was doing Monday night countdown, which made it hit extra hard. Well, at least that's when the news broke. Pete Rose. I have assigned baseball by Pete Rose.
Charlie hustle himself, man.
And I don't know, I've just always been a huge Pete fan. Obviously he had his demons, but the way he played the game and carried himself and I think also like dad just loved him. So that made me love him a little bit more. So I love that piece of memorabilia. That will probably mean more now that there won't be any more of a maid.
I've had a. I've had a lot of people run into to Pete before he passed and they just had the world. They said. They just said great things about him. Either way, rip to the big guy. And that. That is a very, very cool piece of memorabilia they got. What else you got? You got anything? You got anything else?
I also have some boxes of rookie car. Well, I have some boxes of football cards that are from Tom Brady's rookie year. I brought this up on an earlier show that I really want to open and I still haven't opened them, but I think it would be cool to open those. Maybe that can be. Maybe not bonus content. I don't. I think it'd be fun. Open them and see if there's a Tom Brady rookie card inside.
Dude, I'd fucking. I'd be at the edge of my seat. What? Looking at that fucking. You opening those?
Can you imagine? We open one of them, we pull a freaking Tom Brady rookie card.
I want to know who else is in that draft class.
I know that Tom's the big ticket item. Let's look.
Tom's the big ticket because he was the last big.
No, he's the big ticket because that's. That's the one that's going for millions of dollars. Signed and, like, delivered. What was Tom's rookie year?
Zero one.
2000 draft. Courtney Brown. Cleveland Brown. Hey oh. 2000 NFL Draft. Lavar Arrington. Chris Samuels. Peter Ward. Jamal Lewis. Corey Simmons. Course, Corey Simon. Corey Simmons should know him from the Philadelphia Eagles.
I feel like there's a better way to go about this.
Brian Erlacher. It's a huge erlacher. I'll go crazy if I get a urlacher card because I love.
You were a white linebacker.
That's why I was trying to be. I wasn't. I mean, I'm not. The only thing we didn't have in common was that he was way more athletic, and I. I had more hair.
Had. Had.
Yeah. I'm really hoping for that Tom Brady, after looking at some of these names. All right, well, that does it for no dumb questions. Brought to you by the powerful backing of American Express. That's right.
Don't steal home without it.

I don't want to give away exactly what's underneath the helmet or this big ass mascot face.
What do you mean give it away?
So there's a hockey helmet under here that smells exactly like our hockey equipment.
Did you, uh, throw any disinfectant on that? Because I guarantee has ever been wearing that has been sweating their ass off.
