  On offense, it's important to prevent problems from the moment the ball is snapped.

• 0:39Travis Kelce?

  That's true. Otherwise, you're just out there running cardio. Can't get open for a big play.

• 0:45Speaker 02

  But it's not just football. There's a lot of things you need to prevent before they start.

• 0:50Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, like in your mouth.

• 0:51Speaker 02

  My mouth specifically?

• 0:53Travis Kelce?

  I mean, probably yours too, but I'm talking everybody's mouth. There's bacteria in there that can lead to oral health problems like cavities, gingivitis.

• 1:05Speaker 02

  Right, yeah, all the nasty stuff. But the good news is you can prevent these problems before they start with Colgate Total Active Prevention. It's like having a good offensive line for your mouth.

• 2:05Speaker 02

  Being in company with a guy like Tony G has got to be just like surreal. But I gotta say, fuck that, dude. You're the fucking receiving touchdown leader in Kansas City Chiefs fucking history.

• 2:21Travis Kelce?

  Welcome back to New Heights, ladies and gentlemen. Happy motherfucking new year. How about that?

• 2:28Speaker 02

  Yes, yes.

• 3:14Speaker 02

  I hope the 92%ers have loved the holidays and a Happy New Year's, but what's the cutoff for saying Happy New Year?

• 3:22Travis Kelce?

  Just whenever you see somebody within the month of January, I think is a good Happy New. Man, it's maybe two weeks.

• 3:27Speaker 02

  A little far.

• 3:28Travis Kelce?

  Maybe like a half a week.

• 3:30Speaker 02

  You gotta be within the same week of the Happy New Year.

• 3:32Travis Kelce?

  No, no. I'm a big general like, yeah, yeah, Happy New Year.

• 3:39Speaker 02

  Happy New Year. That's the 10.

• 3:41Travis Kelce?

  I mean, we still got a good 50 weeks left.

• 3:44Speaker 02

  You got a lot. Yeah, yeah. All right. I don't know what else to go with it for that. All right. Today we are going to talk about what we've been up to. Wrap up last week of the NFL regular season, look ahead to the wild card.

• 3:54Travis Kelce?

  So much to talk about. So.

• 3:55Speaker 02

  And also, we're going to try and rank the plays of the year.

• 4:00Travis Kelce?

  Ooh, blind rank them things.

• 4:02Speaker 02

  See how that goes. I like that. We did that for the Christmas movies. End up pretty good. All right, all right. As always.

• 4:08Travis Kelce?

  New news.

• 4:43Speaker 02

  I know which one I think is better looking.

• 4:50Speaker 02

  There we go.

• 4:51Travis Kelce?

  Out of the house.

• 4:52Speaker 02

  Couple of options, couple of options for out of the house.

  We're bringing back some fan favorites. We got the beard.

• 5:07Travis Kelce?

  Oh, yeah.

• 5:10Speaker 02

  That's Travis or this?

• 5:11Travis Kelce?

  No, that's you, Jason. Stop. Stop it. My beard isn't that dark.

• 5:17Speaker 02

  And Trevi door.

  Yes, sir.

• 5:28Speaker 02

  I like.

• 5:28Travis Kelce?

  Oh, that one's sweet. I want that one. Do I get any of these?

• 5:31Speaker 02

  They didn't tell me if you were getting or not.

• 5:33Travis Kelce?

  I'll check the mail.

• 5:34Speaker 04

  They're at your house.

• 5:35Travis Kelce?

  Oh, nice.

• 5:36Speaker 02

  Well, as you just said, uh, yeah, this is our ultimate fan favorites collection. The official shirt of leaving the house. Is this official? You did? Do we need a shirt for staying the fuck inside the house? As is all of Kansas City right now because of this crazy snowstorm.

• 5:54Travis Kelce?

  Um, yeah, I'm kind of sick of that. I'm already sick of it. So no, I'm gonna say no, we need more out of the, out of the house.

• 6:00Speaker 02

  More out of the house.

• 6:00Travis Kelce?

  More out of the house mentalities.

• 6:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 6:03Travis Kelce?

  To, to keep this city thriving, you know? It's playoff football. We gotta get the fuck out of the house.

• 6:10Speaker 02

  I'm, I'm with that. I'm with that. You can check out our ultimate fan collection right now at homage.com slash New Heights.

• 6:16Travis Kelce?

  You heard the man. Yeah, let's, uh, let's catch up on some holiday stuff. Did you guys watch any of the college football playoffs? This is Brandon asking us, uh, Jason, did you watch any of the college football playoffs?

• 6:28Speaker 02

  I am not gonna lie. I've watched none of the football playoffs for college.

• 6:32Travis Kelce?

  Did you watch any of the holiday football NFL games?

• 6:37Speaker 02

  I did watch a lot of the holiday football NFL games.

• 6:40Travis Kelce?

  Nice.

• 6:41Speaker 02

  Including the Kansas City Chiefs.

• 6:43Travis Kelce?

  Yes, you did.

• 6:44Speaker 02

  That was a good one.

• 6:45Travis Kelce?

  That was a good one. That was a fun one.

• 6:47Speaker 02

  Very good one. By the way, you had a new pair of cleats on. We talked about this.

• 6:52Travis Kelce?

  New pair of cleats.

• 6:53Speaker 02

  There's a new pair of cleats.

• 6:55Travis Kelce?

  Same pair of cleats.

• 6:56Speaker 02

  It was a solid red. No, it was a different pair.

• 6:58Travis Kelce?

  Oh, a different colorway. Nice. Same cleats, different color.

• 7:01Speaker 02

  Yeah, it looked, it looked like a little bit higher top. I think it was a different pair of cleats.

• 7:05Travis Kelce?

  A little bit more of a boot.

• 7:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 7:08Travis Kelce?

  You're hilarious. Uh, I'm pretty sure Jordan makes them the exact same when they make them. They just switch the color out, but no, I hear what you're saying.

• 7:15Speaker 02

  Sometimes, sometimes the color makes a difference.

• 7:17Travis Kelce?

  Think I looked a little lighter, a little quicker?

• 7:19Speaker 02

  You looked pretty, pretty quick out there. You had some good agile.

• 7:22Travis Kelce?

  Somebody said, I'm, it looks like I'm moving in slow motion.

• 7:25Speaker 02

  That's a different cleat right there.

• 7:26Travis Kelce?

  That's the exact same cleat that I've been wearing all year.

• 7:29Speaker 02

  No, that's, look, that's shinier. It's got like a, it's got like plastic around it.

• 7:33Travis Kelce?

  It's padded leather, baby. Ain't nothing like a Jordan 11 with some padded leather on it.

• 7:37Speaker 02

  Let's keep those up. Let's keep wearing those.

• 7:40Travis Kelce?

  You don't like the other ones?

• 7:42Speaker 02

  Yeah, no.

• 7:43Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. Well, they didn't like you either. How about those Texas Longhorns? We know who put that in the fucking rundown. A shout out to the Longhorns. I'm not a Longhorn hater. I got some friends and, and shit. Ninety-two percenters want to know, uh, did you watch the Mayo Bowl? Jason, your favorite.

• 7:58Speaker 02

  I watched the clips of all the ridiculousness from the Mayo Bowl, but I did not watch the Mayo, the Duke's Mayo Bowl itself. Uh, I think Interbrand has a video, the patented.

• 8:08Travis Kelce?

  That's not.

• 8:14Travis Kelce?

  Get it off the screen.

• 8:19Speaker 02

  Wow. I mean, it's just a waste.

• 8:21Travis Kelce?

  I'm sweating. Get it off the screen.

• 8:26Travis Kelce?

  Oh, it's in his hair.

• 8:28Speaker 02

  What do you think countries that are struggling?

• 8:32Travis Kelce?

  Not again.

• 8:34Speaker 02

  What do you think countries there that are like struggling for, uh, like food? Watch something like that. It's just like, how many eggs went into that?

• 8:46Speaker 02

  Water cooler of mayonnaise that we decided to dump all over somebody's head?

• 8:51Travis Kelce?

  I mean, that's what dad mentioned all our childhood is that there's kids starving.

• 8:56Speaker 02

  In China, which I think China is a lot different spot than it was when we were kids, but.

• 9:01Travis Kelce?

  I think.

• 9:02Speaker 02

  I don't know if that one still works.

• 9:03Travis Kelce?

  Kids starving in every country at some level.

• 9:06Speaker 02

  I think that's probably true. That's probably accurate.

• 9:08Travis Kelce?

  Kind of how the world goes unfortunately.

• 9:11Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 9:12Travis Kelce?

  But it's, uh, it's our job to help them by eating all our food. At least that's the message dad.

• 9:18Speaker 02

  That was what we were told is to be grateful. Anyways, no, we did not watch the Mayo Bowl. I mean, there's a lot of funny bits that they did with mayonnaise though. I gotta admit to that.

• 9:27Travis Kelce?

  No, the best was the, the Pop-Tart Bowl. Can we get out of the ma- can we get out of Mayo? What the fuck is that?

• 9:36Speaker 02

  They're like bobbing for something. What are they bobbing for?

• 9:43Speaker 02

  I'm not gonna lie, man. I love mayonnaise. This is fucking gross.

• 9:48Speaker 02

  Like, it is just, it's very hard to.

• 9:53Travis Kelce?

  Get this shit out of here, man. God damn it.

• 9:56Speaker 02

  Oh, my gosh.

• 9:59Travis Kelce?

  It is fucking.

• 10:03Travis Kelce?

  You're going in face first. Could you imagine getting that shit up your nose?

• 10:07Speaker 02

  Man, oh, man.

• 10:11Travis Kelce?

  God damn it. I'm gonna shut the fucking computer down if you do anything more with mayo.

• 10:16Speaker 02

  I mean, that's not a challenge you want to do. I feel like we got another mayo thing coming up, but that's.

• 10:23Travis Kelce?

  I don't want to know anymore.

• 10:25Speaker 02

  I'm kind of over it too, but now I just kind of want to see.

• 10:29Speaker 02

  Alright, that's it. Alright. That's the last of the mayo. Alright.

• 10:33Travis Kelce?

  What the fuck is that?

• 10:35Speaker 02

  Those potatoes. They were getting potatoes out of there. It's fascinating.

• 10:40Travis Kelce?

  I don't know where to even go.

• 10:41Speaker 02

  Brandon said the Pop-Tart bowl was good, though.

• 10:44Travis Kelce?

  I thought they had the coolest mascots. The mascot was fucking around.

• 10:47Speaker 02

  They had the unveiling of it, like the ripping of the foil.

• 10:51Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. What was your, what was your favorite Pop-Tart growing up?

• 10:55Speaker 02

  Favorite Pop-Tart, if we're not counting toaster strudel.

• 10:58Travis Kelce?

  No, no, no, no, no, no. We're talking, I'm talking flavor of like the out of the wrapper Pop-Tart, silver wrapper.

• 11:03Speaker 02

  I mean, listen, it's hard to go wrong with the strawberry, but the brown, the.

• 11:07Travis Kelce?

  Fuck is so good.

• 11:08Speaker 02

  The brown, what was it? The brown sugar one was like a nice change up. I didn't like it all the time, but when I had had strawberry too many times in a row, it was like a good little switch up.

• 11:18Travis Kelce?

  It was a nice curveball, yeah.

• 11:20Speaker 02

  Was that what that was? Was it brown sugar? I think it was brown sugar, right?

• 11:22Travis Kelce?

  It was, there was, there was a brown sugar one. I think there was a smores one.

• 11:26Speaker 02

  I know I don't fuck with smores. For some reason, I am not a big.

• 11:30Travis Kelce?

  You're not a smores guy?

• 11:31Speaker 02

  No, not flavored. And really, if I'm being honest, not even like making them. It's just the messy. I just get marshmallow over my beard.

• 11:38Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, it's fun, but I can't fire them. Dude, there's the sneaky one that came in as we were just like getting too old for to eat Pop Tarts every day.

• 11:45Speaker 02

  The blueberry one, which the uh.

• 11:48Travis Kelce?

  Wild berry.

• 11:48Speaker 02

  Wild berry, yeah.

• 11:49Travis Kelce?

  It was the purple with the blue.

• 11:51Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 11:53Travis Kelce?

  Dude.

• 11:53Speaker 02

  It's a good one. It's a very good one.

• 11:55Travis Kelce?

  Fucking crack. Couldn't you, could you imagine a childhood without those?

• 11:59Speaker 02

  I don't know.

• 12:00Travis Kelce?

  By the way, I saw one of the most disturbing videos ever of somebody torching Oreos.

• 12:07Speaker 02

  Torchings? I saw that. I saw where it's just like, it's basically flame retardant.

• 12:11Travis Kelce?

  Are you fucking kidding me?

• 12:13Speaker 02

  Listen, man. That's what happens when you, when you, when you, when you eat heavily processed food, it's, it's pretty resistant. It's a resistant material.

• 12:22Travis Kelce?

  It was torching an Oreo for like fucking thirty seconds. And the Oreo did not fucking even catch on fire.

• 12:32Speaker 02

  No, it was, it was like a heat shield. It like deflected it. It looked like the Oreo was, it looked like the Oreo was entering Earth's atmosphere. And it was just like plummeting and like was not disintegrating. It was just fighting off. Basically, if you, if you.

• 12:47Travis Kelce?

  It was a comet.

• 12:48Speaker 02

  If you, if you threw an Oreo out of the space station, eventually it would, it would land. It wouldn't burn up in Earth's orbit, which is crazy to think about. They should just cover the space shuttles.

• 12:59Travis Kelce?

  I, I don't know why. I can't eat them now. I can't. I feel like I'm just doing so bad, such, something so bad to my body. And I used to eat them by the fucking.

• 13:09Speaker 02

  Sleeve.

• 13:09Travis Kelce?

  Bro, by the sleeve.

• 13:11Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 13:11Travis Kelce?

  Moving on, Jason is officially a late night TV host. That's right. They called it late night. They called it late night premiered last weekend.

• 13:21Speaker 02

  Yes, it did. That it did.

• 13:23Travis Kelce?

  How'd it go, dude? How did it feel to, to be live?

• 13:26Speaker 02

  Oh, I just, you know, didn't look at the camera and played to the audience and did everything that every late night show told me not to do. So that was perfect. No, it was good. I mean, listen, I think we had Charles Barkley.

• 13:40Travis Kelce?

  Fuck yeah, you did.

• 13:41Speaker 02

  Lil Dicky and Brian Baldinger. The, the crowd was electric.

• 13:46Travis Kelce?

  I love that.

• 13:47Speaker 02

  It was a lot of fun in the venue.

• 13:49Travis Kelce?

  And you do that in Philly, right?

• 13:50Speaker 02

  We do it in Philly. Yep. Union transfer. Yeah. I mean, we tried some delightfully stupid comedy bits that were fun to try. And we did some panel discussions and we had a fan contest for chugging beer to see who won, uh, who got some tickets to the Super Bowl.

• 14:07Travis Kelce?

  I love that, man.

• 14:08Speaker 02

  I don't know. I'm learning. It was a good experience. I talked to my man Scott Van Pelt and he was, you know, just like, it's exciting to start something new, right? And you're, you're, you've worked a lot to get there and then you, you just keep on figuring it out. So it was, it was a great time. The guests were fantastic. The crowd was into it. So just want to thank everybody because I had a blast.

• 14:31Travis Kelce?

  As long as you're having fun doing it, man, that's all.

• 14:33Speaker 02

  All I'm doing, I can't say it on this because the Will Ferrell thing comes out on Friday, but we're going full set. That's all I know.

• 14:39Travis Kelce?

  Oh, yeah. Listen, everybody loves when Jason goes full set.

• 14:45Speaker 02

  We got Joe Buck and Michelle Beisner Buck coming on the show this week.

• 14:48Travis Kelce?

  Oh, it's gonna be awesome.

• 14:50Speaker 02

  So that'll be fun.

• 14:52Travis Kelce?

  Man, you have to, you have to ask him about what happened at the Super Bowl.

• 14:57Speaker 02

  Come on.

• 14:58Travis Kelce?

  In 2019.

• 14:59Speaker 02

  We're not getting into this.

• 15:01Travis Kelce?

  Felt so bad, dude. Get me out of here, man. Sorry about that, Joe. I love you. Um, yeah. And, uh, is this, are we catching up with, what are, uh, what did I, I went, uh, I didn't do anything for New Year's. Uh, stuck working on New Year's Eve and New Year's and yeah, that's all I got.

• 15:26Speaker 02

  Well, you went to New York.

• 15:28Travis Kelce?

  I did go to New York. I had some delicious food and got to see the big city, which I fucking absolutely love. Love the big city.

• 15:35Speaker 02

  All right. Well, uh, last bit of new news. We're back with not just one episode this week with two.

• 15:40Travis Kelce?

  Oh, yeah.

• 15:41Speaker 02

  That's right. You're gonna get two new episodes of New Heights this week. This Friday, we will drop a guest episode with the one and only Will Ferrell.

• 15:52Speaker 02

  Ah, favorite part of the combo. I do know. I don't know.

• 15:56Travis Kelce?

  Dude, I mean, I think, I think his advice struck both of us as like gold.

• 16:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 16:03Travis Kelce?

  And we'll let you guys, uh, we'll let you guys catch up on that if they didn't already just completely deleted out of the scene.

• 16:09Speaker 02

  It was so fun to reminisce about all the characters he's played, like in the here, how he got started in it and, and just advice on, you know, how to be successful and funny.

• 16:21Travis Kelce?

  Let's not kid ourselves. The best part of the show was him answering some of our New Heights call-ins.

• 16:26Speaker 02

  Yeah, you're right. Um, you're right. It was.

• 16:28Travis Kelce?

  And you guys are not gonna wanna, you're not gonna wanna miss that. We got to see Will Ferrell in action, in person, off the cuff.

• 16:35Speaker 02

  We got to see, you know. Anyways, okay, I don't wanna, okay.

• 16:42Speaker 02

  All right. That's it for new news. It's brought to you by Peloton. Find your push, find your power with Peloton.

• 16:47Travis Kelce?

  Hey.

• 16:48Speaker 02

  Moving on to bold topics to wrap up week 18 in the NFL. All righty, week 18, the Kansas City Chiefs are in the playoffs.

• 16:59Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 17:00Speaker 02

  Here's what the Chiefs have been up to since we recorded our last episode. Travis is now the all time leader in receiving touchdowns for the Kansas City Chiefs. How's it feel, bubba? Huh?

• 17:12Travis Kelce?

  It feels about the same as when I was tied with Tony G.

• 17:17Travis Kelce?

  I've been very, you know, I feel like towards the end of your career, um, when you hit these milestones of, you know, anybody playing past 10 years is gonna hit some type of milestone, whether it's games played or whatever it is statistically. And, you know, it's, it's cool, but I'm, it's cool, like, being recognized for, you know, whether it's just greatness of being out there on the field or touchdowns or something, stats or anything, something like that, but. I feel like I'm sitting such a mode of like trying to be trying to be better than I was yesterday. I've just, I'm always thinking of I need to be better. I need to be better. That when I pass or I do something like this where I hit a big milestone in my career.

• 17:57Travis Kelce?

  I'm just like, yeah, but I need to be better than that. I need to be, you know, I'm not about to sit here and, and think about, you know, how far I've come when I'm still striving to go somewhere that's even greater than where I'm at. Over the past, like when I first got in the league, stats were fucked. I mean, that's everything. That's how I judged somebody's, you know, greatness. And I think it just goes so much further than that for me now, you know, not necessarily because I'm not putting up the same stats as I used to, but more so is I know how to influence a game more than just what the what the stat book says. Sure. And, uh, and I've kind of prided myself on that now.

• 18:37Travis Kelce?

  And it's, um, it's just, it's when I, when I see that I've achieved stats like this, it's kind of like, yeah, man, it's cool to, it's cool to be in the conversations of the great ones like Tony Gonzalez. And don't get me wrong. This is only what Tony accumulated in Kansas City. This, I'm still like another hundred or 40 touchdowns away from catching his all time, uh, career touchdown record or touchdowns. It's a, it's cool to be in conversations with him, knowing that he's been the guy that I've said at the, the top that I've been chasing in terms of his greatness every single day. Um, I remember the legend of Tony when I first got here, just trying to fill his shoes in terms of how hard of a worker he was.

• 19:18Travis Kelce?

  Everyone raved about, you know, the time he spent in the building, the time, the focus he had on his nutrition. The, uh, the, the amount of hours and the amount, the amount of catches that he had on the jugs before practice, after practice, when guys weren't in the building and things like that. And it's just the, the legend of him was, was so, you know, unachievable that I, I just started to like every single day, try and become that version of myself. You know, they just spend the time in the building, find, find ways to keep getting better and find ways to, you know, be the best version of yourself. And I'm just so fortunate that I had Tony G sitting on top of the pedestal and trying to fill his shoes my entire career because I think that helped me motivate motivate myself and

• 20:04Travis Kelce?

  helped me really appreciate the situation I was in here in Kansas City.

• 20:08Speaker 02

  Yeah, I mean, listen, I think I think you and I are both on the same page with stats. I mean, you you coined the whole term LeBron stat. I think that they can be very misleading at times and not telling the whole picture.

• 20:22Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 20:22Speaker 02

  You know, being in company with a guy like Tony G has got to be just like incredibly surreal, especially from like watching him play and knowing how dominant he was. But I gotta say, fuck that, dude, you're the fucking touchdown receiving touchdown leader in Kansas City. Chiefs fucking history. That's fucking crazy. That's an entire franchise's history. You're the number one receiving. And I know that it's been building up. So it's not like, you know, it's come out of nowhere. But I think when you look back to being a third round pick, when you look back to like in college, you know, you know, having struggles or whatever, playing quarterback, then going to tight end. It's just been a crazy career arc.

• 21:07Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 21:08Speaker 02

  And it's something that I think is awesome. And I couldn't be more proud of you for having that record. Shout out to Tony for formerly having it. And obviously he went on to have more successful things and other teams. But I ain't shortchanging this shit worth one goddamn second. This ain't a LeBron stat. This is a Travis Kelce stat and it's fucking dope.

• 21:30Travis Kelce?

  I appreciate you, brother.

• 21:31Speaker 02

  Tony G said he'd pay the fine if you did this. You went up and dunked in Tony G fashion on the goalpost.

• 21:39Travis Kelce?

  Sort of.

• 21:40Speaker 02

  Did you get fined? Did they? Did the NFL? Did the NFL determine it to be a dunk?

• 21:47Speaker 02

  That's the real question. Who cares what anybody else is? Did John Runyon say it's a fine?

• 21:52Travis Kelce?

  He did. Yeah, they all did. They said, since I touched the goalpost.

• 21:56Speaker 02

  Just touching.

• 21:56Travis Kelce?

  It was a fine. Yeah.

• 21:57Speaker 02

  When you were doing it, were you trying to throw it up to avoid the fine? Or were you trying to dunk it?

• 22:02Travis Kelce?

  Trying to get my fucking old ass up there, man. Shit. Fourth quarter of the game, I fucking legs are tired after like a like a 10 play drive. I'm over here trying to just like, I'm just like, screw it. I'm gonna send it. One time for old for old time's sake, man.

• 22:17Speaker 02

  That that looked like a Jason Kelce attempted dunk right there.

• 22:21Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, that was me slapping the backboard. That wasn't me actually flushing it, man. It was the McAfee said it best. It was the angle. I gotta come around. I gotta hit that thing straight on. It was a funny angle.

• 22:32Speaker 02

  It was a funny angle. You went from the baseline.

• 22:35Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, well, back in the day when I actually had, when I had bounce, man, I could never matter what angle it was.

• 22:40Speaker 02

  We got some clips for sure.

• 22:42Travis Kelce?

  I don't know where they are, but they're out there somewhere. They're on a VHS tape somewhere.

• 22:47Speaker 02

  Yeah, the NFL has announced that it is a 14,069. Is that in honor of John Runyon? The 69 at the end? 14,000, 14,069 dollars for unsportsmanlike conduct.

• 23:00Travis Kelce?

  I think repeat offender. I think I'm a repeat offender. That's why it's so high.

• 23:03Speaker 02

  Ah.

• 23:05Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, that'll get you in America.

• 23:07Speaker 02

  That's where they get you.

• 23:08Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, that'll get you. They get you on the repeat offender in America. Oh, and Tony, last thing, you don't have to do that, dude. It was so cool to hear you even say it, dude, but you don't have to help me pay that fine. It's all going to good cause and Jason said he'd pay it.

• 23:22Speaker 02

  I did not say that.

• 23:23Travis Kelce?

  Dude, you literally just said it.

• 23:26Speaker 02

  No.

• 23:26Travis Kelce?

  We've recorded everything, so we can definitely.

• 23:29Speaker 02

  Please play it back where I have said that.

• 23:31Travis Kelce?

  All right, we'll do. We'll do. Good thing there's AI.

• 23:34Speaker 02

  The Chiefs also clinched the number one seed in the AFC, resting their starters or the majority of them in Week 18. Was there ever a chance you guys were gonna play in the game? I don't know why I'm asking this.

• 23:46Travis Kelce?

  Well, our our offensive line started the first drive and then we kinda we.

• 23:51Speaker 02

  The whole offensive line started?

• 23:53Travis Kelce?

  Just about, except for a.

• 23:56Travis Kelce?

  No, Tooney was out there.

• 23:57Speaker 02

  The fuck? Why'd they do that?

• 23:58Travis Kelce?

  Huh?

• 23:59Speaker 02

  Why'd they do that? Oh, it's because Humphries is back and they wanted them to like get like a...

• 24:03Travis Kelce?

  I'm not sure why they did it. Listen, I'm not, I'm just, I'm just here. They might have...

• 24:07Speaker 02

  You know why that it happened?

• 24:09Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, I was about to say, yeah, no, I mean, either way, it doesn't fucking matter whether they played one snap or no snaps. We got our fucking asses kicked and that wasn't a fun game to be a part of.

• 24:18Speaker 02

  Well, there's, there's some people alleging that it was a purposeful letting get your ass kicked.

• 24:23Travis Kelce?

  I ain't scared of fucking nobody.

• 24:25Speaker 02

  I'm not alleging this.

• 24:26Travis Kelce?

  I wanted them in the fucking playoffs.

• 24:27Speaker 02

  I'm not alleging this.

• 24:28Travis Kelce?

  I wanna, I wanna slay every dragon one by one like Mortal Kombat. I don't even want this to be like, uh, we play the lowest seed. Just give me the best teams.

• 24:36Speaker 02

  I'm not, Travis, I'm just telling you.

• 24:38Travis Kelce?

  AFC, NFC. Give me all of them, Mortal Kombat style. I'll go through every fucking one of them, just giving them my best fucking effort. I ain't scared of a single soul, man.

• 24:48Speaker 02

  You didn't want to see the Bengals in Borough Head or in Cincinnati?

• 24:51Travis Kelce?

  I'll play them at the Walmart parking lot.

• 24:54Travis Kelce?

  I don't give a shit. We can, we can have our own game in the offseason. We really duke it out again. I, listen, I love competing against the greatest. The Bengals were a fun ass fucking team to watch there towards the end of the season. And, uh, it's a shame they didn't make it in the playoffs because they would have made the playoffs that much fucking crazier and that much more fun.

• 25:11Speaker 02

  Did you see they fired Lou and Rumo?

• 25:14Travis Kelce?

  I don't know what the fuck is going on over there. That is, uh, that was a wild, wild move I did not see coming. Because I thought that, you know, from the outside, their defense was playing really fucking good towards the end of the year.

• 25:27Speaker 02

  They, they definitely played better. I just think Lou, I don't think they had the horses on defense that they've had in the past. And Lou got handcuffed. I don't know that it made sense. He, he's proven how good of a D coordinator he is with good players, but whatever.

• 25:40Travis Kelce?

  I'm with you, dude. I'm with you. I've always respected the hell out of them. I've also respected a lot of the, the players on that side of the ball. Uh, you know, given who they had this year.

• 25:49Speaker 02

  I mean, Borough put up over like, what, like 4,000 something yards? Like it was something crazy. He had a great year. Chase and T.

• 25:56Travis Kelce?

  That was one of the wackiest years of football I've ever seen from a, from a team, uh, that I thought was...

• 26:01Speaker 02

  It was crazy.

• 26:02Travis Kelce?

  10 times better than what their record showed, uh, and that, and I know that, uh, just playing against them. But yeah, we, uh, we didn't fucking throw any game. All right. Guys were out there competing their ass off, trying to get a win. Um, unfortunately, we just, you know, we couldn't, you know, put drives together. We couldn't stop Denver. Um, and it just, uh, it wasn't a, it wasn't a fun game to be a part of. And I'm just sitting here on the sideline like, hey, boys.

• 26:26Travis Kelce?

  Don't let this shit ruin our fucking mojo. When we got our, we got, we got everybody rolling and, and you know, it's, uh, it's go time. We gotta flip that switch and, and know we're the biggest, baddest team out there.

• 26:37Speaker 02

  Well, I mean, you guys went 15 and one, so you guys, uh, technically are the biggest, baddest team in the NFL. Fifteen, oh yeah, I forgot. So now you are tied with Detroit. Uh, 92 percenters reached out and asked us, please write the script for this week, a section Travis can talk about being stuck in a plane. I want to know what it was like in there with grown men, probably two bathrooms. I guarantee Travis will just say, I was asleep.

• 27:07Travis Kelce?

  How did you know?

• 27:08Speaker 02

  I mean, Jesus Christ, she called. I text you right at the beginning of it. You text me right, right after you guys took off.

• 27:14Travis Kelce?

  Dude, I was fucking, when I get on these planes, I eat my Chick-fil-A and I fucking recline my seat. I put on my headphones and I fucking, I'm out. I could sleep at a fucking rock concert. It doesn't matter where I'm at. I don't know how I got this trait, but I am literally, I have the ability to sleep anywhere at any time. As long, as long as I'm comfortable, I can just shut it down. I was out for about three hours on the runway. While everybody was kicking it, having a grand old time. I heard some old linemen were wrestling. I heard everybody's telling war stories and having a good old time. And I woke up as the plane was taking off and I was like, what the fuck? It feels like I've been asleep for forever. And I looked at the time and I'm just like, where the fuck, what just happened?

• 27:59Speaker 02

  Right.

• 28:00Travis Kelce?

  And, uh, yeah, got briefed and I think there's, um, there might be some pics and some videos of me just absolutely.

• 28:07Speaker 02

  Just completely knocked out.

• 28:08Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. Somebody might've got me. They might've sniped me. I think the, the more frustrating part with not being able to come back to Kansas City. We had to stay in Denver for another night. Not that Denver isn't a beautiful city and I don't love Denver because I, I do find that city really cool. But it's not fun sitting around in a hotel room and.

• 28:26Speaker 02

  You guys didn't go out and celebrate? Dude, if I, if I would've been stuck in Denver, I would've been out.

• 28:30Travis Kelce?

  Vibes weren't real high. We just got waxed like.

• 28:35Travis Kelce?

  Thirty eight, nothing. So, you know, we kind of felt bad for some of the young guys and some of the guys that, you know, were we were rooting for to try and have a good game. And Coach Reed doesn't fucking like losing. I know going out and fucking having a grand old time and maybe getting caught on a video doing something stupid wasn't the best idea. So we all just kind of hung out and just grabbed dinner together.

• 28:57Speaker 02

  All right. Well, congrats. You guys have to buy much needed rest. It's coming at Dubai and the playoffs makes such a big deal. So that's a that's huge.

• 29:10Travis Kelce?

  It is huge. It is huge, but it's a it's a lot of time off. I've had already, I think, a week and a half, almost two weeks by tomorrow. So it's like, yeah, yeah. So hopefully we can we can get into the in in in the shells, put our put our helmets and pads on over the weekend, get some get some good contact in and and work our craft and find out who we're playing next week.

• 29:36Speaker 02

  Fuck yeah.

• 29:37Travis Kelce?

  You're ready to rock and roll, baby. Nothing better than playoff football, man. The punch start take it to the dance and now it's time to fucking dance, baby. I love this shit. I fucking love it.

• 29:46Speaker 02

  Perfect.

• 29:48Speaker 05

  They say everything happens for a reason, but I suspect everything happens for a Reese's. Like this commercial break. Did you need 15 seconds away from music or 15 seconds to eat a Reese's? Perhaps it's true. Everything happens for a Reese's.

  Dude, have you seen this? Royal Caribbean just dropped the Legend of the Seas. It's the biggest cruise ship on the planet. Like. Nothing's even close to being this big and it's sailing out of Fort Lauderdale, starting this November.

• 31:00Speaker 02

  That's right. This thing is stacked. Seven pools, more places to eat than you can even count. I mean, they have something for everybody.

• 31:09Travis Kelce?

  Like bring the kids, bring mom and dad, shoot, bring the whole crew. Everybody's got a spot. That's what makes it special.

• 31:16Speaker 02

  And the entertainment, Latin music, ice skating, full on Broadway shows. It's pretty amazing. Pretty much everything you want in one place. Oh, and did I mention there's a water park?

• 31:26Travis Kelce?

  You didn't, and that's, that'd be the kicker for me.

• 31:28Speaker 02

  I love a water park.

• 31:29Travis Kelce?

  But the crazy one, Crowns Edge, a ropes course off the side of the ship, not for the faint of heart, brother.

• 31:38Speaker 02

  They've also got Playmaker Sports Bar and Arcade, so that means games on every screen. I love a good arcade sports place combination.

• 31:47Travis Kelce?

  Visit royalcaribbean.com to learn more.

• 31:59Travis Kelce?

  Uh, keep this thing moving to the rest of week 18, an action packed week 18 that decided some teams on whether or not they were going to Cancun or fucking going to, going to the playoffs.

• 32:09Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 32:10Travis Kelce?

  Eagles also rested their starters instead of trying to get Saquon to break the NFL season, single season rushing record, which somehow creates, created some controversy. Barkley only needed 101 yards to break it. I don't think you guys realize how fucking hard it is to get 100 yards rushing in the NFL. It is not just like, oh, you put him out there, he'll get it. Like that's just not how that happens.

• 32:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, he would have got it. The New York Giants, Trav, he would have fucking blew that thing out the door.

• 32:41Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, but instead the Giants came to fucking play.

• 32:46Travis Kelce?

  Good point.

• 32:46Speaker 02

  I think he definitely gets it if he plays, but I, I, you can't, I think, look at, do they, did they release what Zay Flowers injury is yet? Did they release whether he's coming back for the first week?

• 32:57Travis Kelce?

  They said that it's not season ending, but that it is, it is a serious issue. So they don't know if he's, they said it's. I think it's a doubt that he'll play this week, but uh, hopes that he'll play next week if they advance.

• 33:10Speaker 02

  I mean, listen, I think what did I want Barkley to go for the record? You're goddamn right. I think it would have been awesome to watch it happen. Because it's a fucking rushing record. Why would I not want to watch that happen? But I think that it's the right move to not play him.

• 33:22Travis Kelce?

  It's always gonna have an asterisk.

• 33:24Speaker 02

  Why? Why would I have an asterisk? Why?

• 33:26Travis Kelce?

  It's 17 games.

• 33:27Speaker 02

  He's less carries. He's got 40 less carries than Dickerson did.

• 33:32Travis Kelce?

  See? No, you're right.

• 33:34Speaker 02

  Yes, he does.

• 33:35Travis Kelce?

  He got me.

• 33:35Speaker 02

  Yeah. And he could have had the same amount of carries Dickerson would have had through 16 games. He would have set the record there too. And we don't put an asterisk on this to Dickerson who broke OJ Simpson's record at 14 games or whatever it was. Who broke Jim Brown's at 12? Or whatever that was. I just, dude, I think the rushing record is awesome, but I think it's obviously the right call. He gets hurt. You gotta put the alignment out there. One of those guys get hurt. The aspirations of the team are a Super Bowl. They are not just like sneaking in. They're legit contenders. And it's, you know, they needed this buy. They didn't get it for being the number one seed. If they would have had the buy wrapped up. I could see maybe making the argument to go for it, but because they didn't, they gotta rest. They gotta get healthy.

• 34:15Speaker 02

  And make, they got four games now left to try and go get a Super Bowl. Right? Well, one at a time, but they, they gotta put their best feet forward. They're starting to play great ball right now. They're rolling. They did put their backups in and still beat the brakes off of the Giants. The other thing that I want to say about Saquon in this, and I do think the rushing title is the coolest record in football. I don't think there's anything better. And I don't know. It's because we grew up in Cleveland with Jim Brown, but like, there's something about the rushing title record in the NFL, like. Passing yards leader, not, don't give a crap. Receiving yards leader. Cool. I don't know. I mean, it's cool, but it's not cool as rushing yards leader in a season. I don't know why it's not, but it's not. And then maybe it's because of all the offensive linemen.

• 34:58Travis Kelce?

  You earn more of every yard.

• 35:00Speaker 02

  Yeah. Like there's something about it that is cooler. Like you're the baddest dude in the NFL. If you got that, that's that. And.

• 35:06Travis Kelce?

  I hear you.

• 35:07Speaker 02

  He had a chance to set that record. He had a chance to do it in the city of Philadelphia for the Eagles. And he had a chance to do it against a team that literally did not pay, like, did not value him. They let him walk. And a bunch of, against a bunch of fans that were burning his jersey just earlier that year. Like, he's playing in the game before they're burning his jersey in the parking lot. Like. This could have been an all time storyline, historic moment in the NFL. So yes, I would have loved to have seen it, but. It's the right call. It's the right call. I want to emphasize that.

• 35:36Travis Kelce?

  It still is a storyline and honestly, if, yeah.

• 35:40Speaker 02

  What's the storyline?

• 35:41Travis Kelce?

  It's a slap in the face that he didn't even have to play in the game.

• 35:44Speaker 02

  What's, that's true. That's true, but it's not the storyline.

• 35:48Travis Kelce?

  This is why we should have kept it at 16 games.

• 35:52Speaker 02

  Looking back at the rushing titles, there's so many guys, there's a few guys that have broken 2,000 yards and you forget that they even like Derrick Henry broke 2,000 yards. I didn't even remember that Derrick Henry did it until we started talking about it this week.

• 36:04Travis Kelce?

  You're insane. I'm pretty sure I played him. That's why.

• 36:06Speaker 02

  Yeah. Then freaking, uh, uh, he almost did it again this year. I think he's the first back to ever have over like 1950 or something too. Yeah. Something like that. Did Chris Johnson do it?

• 36:18Travis Kelce?

  Yes.

• 36:18Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 36:19Travis Kelce?

  I mean, I remember all of these.

• 36:21Speaker 02

  Like, I just feel like none of these got, but none of these are like notable. I'm just being honest. Like everybody thinks it's a difference. I'm just being honest. Adrian Peterson is the only one because he was like seven yards away.

• 36:33Travis Kelce?

  Dude, Chris, when Chris Johnson was, dude, that year was insane. You're crazy.

• 36:38Speaker 02

  It wasn't an insane year, but it's not historic because he didn't break the record.

• 36:42Travis Kelce?

  I think it was more that.

• 36:44Speaker 02

  Unless you get the record, it's just another great year. You get the record, you're the best, you're the baddest dude on the planet ever to play the game. Regardless of what anybody says about 17 games, 16 games, you get, hey, I got the all time record, brother.

• 36:56Travis Kelce?

  But either way, I hear what you're saying. I think all those years were equally as memorable as this one.

• 37:03Speaker 02

  Yeah, they are equally memorable as in not being historic.

• 37:06Travis Kelce?

  What? Do you think people are just going to not remember Saquon's story of going to a new team?

• 37:12Speaker 02

  They're going to remember it, but they're not going to remember it as if it was the record breaking year. Like it's not going to be, it's not going to be this heralded season by the entire NFL standard.

• 37:23Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 37:23Speaker 02

  It's just not going to be that now.

• 37:24Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 37:24Speaker 02

  Which is whatever. I mean.

• 37:26Travis Kelce?

  That's, that's the point of the record being the record. Yeah.

• 37:28Speaker 02

  Yeah. And eventually though, the record will get broken and the more important thing for Nick Sirianni and his entire job, the entire staff's job, the entire organization, the entire city's job is to try and put themselves in the best position to win a Superbowl because that's the ultimate goal. And I get that. I'm not negating that. All I'm saying is it would have been fucking awesome to have that record. That's all I'm saying. And I would have loved to see the Eagles have it, Saquon have it, and Jeff Stoutland in the O line have it. That would have been something that would have been cool.

• 37:55Travis Kelce?

  I don't know. Maybe if, you know, Jason Kelce was out there, he would have got it in the seven, 16 games he played.

• 38:01Speaker 02

  Listen, Cam Jergens is just fine. As a matter of fact, Cam Jergens made the Pro Bowl if we're.

• 38:06Travis Kelce?

  Jergens is a fucking dog.

• 38:07Speaker 02

  Yes, he is.

• 38:09Travis Kelce?

  I fucking love watching those dudes, man. Three Eagles, Cam Jergens, Jalen Carter, and Zach Bond also made their first Pro Bowl. Shout out to the boys making their first.

• 38:18Speaker 02

  Yeah, baby.

• 38:19Travis Kelce?

  Jason, how's it feel to see the Kelsey replacement get his recognition?

• 38:24Speaker 02

  I don't, I'm not calling him Kelsey replacement. I think it's awesome. Listen, we've known Cam Jergens as a great player in the Eagles organization. He's got all the tools. He's athletic, he's strong, he's, he's got long arms, he's big, he's smart, he's explosive. I fully anticipated Cam having a phenomenal year. And now he's been, you know, awarded the Pro Bowl, which is amazing. It's hard to do that your first year. Like usually it takes you, you know, you usually get it on your second year. But he's had that good of a year, the line has been that good, Saquon was the rushing leader, like all of these things, and he's been dominant. Like he is a big reason this number is where

• 39:07Speaker 02

  it is at. And I think he's rightfully been awarded the Pro Bowl. So you could not be happier for Cam. Listen, there's similar traits, but everybody's going to be their own unique player. And he can't try and be anybody else than Cam Jergens. And that's the way every player's got to play the game. And you, there are things that he is much better at than I ever was at. And like, there's always going to be, every player is unique, no matter how similar the traits are. He's the replacement for anybody that ever played center for the Philadelphia Eagles. Like, I just don't think that that's the way you look at the job. You look at the job like, he's, he's the starting center for the Philadelphia Eagles this year.

• 39:46Travis Kelce?

  Next man up.

• 39:47Speaker 02

  You know, how does, how are we going to move forward with a line that operates successfully? And I think Cam's done a phenomenal job of, you know, being Cam Jergens, the dog that he is, and the tremendous player and teammate that he is. So couldn't be more proud for him. I gotta say. Very happy for Cam, Lane Johnson, Lane and Dickerson. It's a fucking joke that Jordan Malat didn't get the Pro Bowl. And listen, there's great tackles in this league and I don't know who he would have made it over. I'm not trying to make that statement because there's Lane, Tristan Wirfs and um, uh, oh my God, the third one's a great player too. Sewell, Penny. Gosh, why did I blank on that? So like, it's in good company, but I think Jordan Malat has been the best tackle in the NFL this year.

• 40:32Speaker 02

  He's so freaking good, but anyways, they should have had four guys in there, which is crazy to think about. That's how good these guys have been.

• 40:38Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, I hear you, man.

• 40:40Speaker 02

  Everybody that's in it, as far as I'm concerned, deserves it because they got voted. That's the way the thing works. It's a, it's in some ways a popularity contest, but it's also reflective on who you are as a player and what your career has been and season. I don't believe in this like snub, like there's so many snubs every year.

• 40:57Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 40:58Speaker 02

  Because there's so many guys that deserve to go and unfortunately there's only so many slots. Moving on, it's officially playoff season. Let's talk a little about wild card weekend. Okay. Playoff picture. Are we going to display this graphic, intern Brandon, so that people can see it? Okay, so obviously the Chiefs have the buy, Detroit Lions have the buy. Dude, by the way, I was a little bit. I was kind of questioning Dan Campbell's decision to play his starters versus the 49ers. I'm like, why did he do that? Like they're going to be on a short week. Now they're going to have to play.

• 41:31Travis Kelce?

  Oh, you're talking about like the Christmas week?

• 41:33Speaker 02

  Yeah, like they're going to be on a short week now, then they're going to have to play the Vikings who are peaking right now. And then they might not get a buy and they go out and beat the live in donkey dick out of the Minnesota Vikings. Like just pummel them. And I'm like, okay, well, I should just shut the fuck up because Dan Campbell's clearly got this shit figured out.

• 41:53Travis Kelce?

  He's got to figure it out.

• 41:54Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 41:55Travis Kelce?

  He's got the boys rolling.

• 41:56Speaker 02

  Chiefs with the buy, Detroit Lions with the buy. Eagles, the number two seed in the NFC face the Green Bay Packers at home. The Buffalo Bills are number two seed in the AFC West face the Broncos at home. Packers in Washington had some interesting things shake out to see who is going to be the six or the seven seed.

• 42:15Speaker 02

  Bucks moved up to the three seed. Yeah, one to the loss. Yeah. So there was a little bit of shuffling here. What team you most surprised didn't make it?

• 42:24Travis Kelce?

  Surprise?

• 42:26Speaker 02

  I think going into the season, the team I'm most surprised didn't make is probably the Bengals with Joe Burrow, T. Higgins, Chase, healthy. You know, you thought maybe you thought they'd probably be in the playoffs. The team I'm most surprised made it in his first year as the coach. I'm the most surprised with the Chargers. Maybe Broncos.

• 42:45Travis Kelce?

  I'm not really surprised that, I mean, after playing the Broncos earlier in the year.

• 42:50Speaker 02

  Talking about early in the season.

• 42:52Travis Kelce?

  From the beginning.

• 42:53Speaker 02

  Obviously, all of these guys aren't surprising that they made it as the course went on, but before the season started, which teams has surprised you the most?

• 43:01Travis Kelce?

  The most?

• 43:03Speaker 02

  Actually, I'm gonna take this back. Washington is the most surprising to me.

• 43:06Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, I mean, Washington, the two rookie quarterbacks, Washington and Denver.

• 43:09Speaker 02

  Denver, yep.

• 43:10Travis Kelce?

  Honestly, I didn't, I didn't, I don't know why I didn't think Minnesota was gonna be, you know, that,

• 43:16Speaker 02

  That dominant?

• 43:17Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, that dominant. I mean, Sam Darnold's playing his tail off.

• 43:22Speaker 02

  Yeah, just playing Washington over the last few seasons, and I mean this with so much respect for Dan Quinn and even respect, like, I think Rivera is a phenomenal coach as well. But that team with like the whole organizational thing happening with Dan Snyder, they felt like it was gonna take some time to rebuild that culture and chemistry there in Washington. And it just goes to show, when you hire a great head coach and you get a, you hit on a rookie quarterback like that, who's playing at this level, how fast it can happen. Like, they're already in the playoffs. I do think that they lack some of the pieces to really compete for the Super Bowl this year. That's my own opinion.

• 44:05Speaker 02

  But I think it's remarkable that they're in the playoffs that quickly, and it's a testament to Dan Quinn, Kingsbury, and all those players. They went out, hired some, they went out and signed some really good veterans, Bobby Wagner, Zach Ertz.

• 44:20Travis Kelce?

  Ertz.

• 44:21Speaker 02

  I just think that they really did a good job of getting pieces to, to help shape that culture with some veteran guys, bringing in the right coaches, hitting on draft picks, and.

• 44:34Speaker 02

  It's just been a remarkable year for the for the commanders.

• 44:38Travis Kelce?

  100% I'm right there with you. Bigger rookie surprise, I'd probably say Bo Nix, man. I think Jaden Daniels won Heisman winner. You kind of saw.

• 44:47Speaker 02

  The flashes.

• 44:48Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, you saw the flashes. Not that Bo Nix didn't have any flashes. I just think.

• 44:53Speaker 02

  No, but there are a lot more, to your credit, there, sorry, I did not mean to cut you off.

• 44:56Travis Kelce?

  No.

• 44:56Speaker 02

  There are a lot more people downing the Bo Nix pick than the Jaden Daniels pick. So I think that that's the reality of it.

• 45:03Travis Kelce?

  When you look back on it though, man, I mean, you watched Bo Nix in college, man. The dude can fucking ball.

• 45:09Speaker 02

  And I'm telling you, the moment I saw him fired up on the sideline, throwing it back at Sean Payton. I love that. I mean, in the right amount, like it can't be all the time.

• 45:20Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 45:20Speaker 02

  There is something about.

• 45:22Travis Kelce?

  Throw it. Yeah, you know, who knows how fiery that even was, but you already know.

• 45:26Speaker 02

  Who cares? All I know is that he cares. That's why I like to see it.

• 45:30Travis Kelce?

  I give a fuck, yeah.

• 45:30Speaker 02

  Because like, you know, not that it's the right way to handle, you gotta be controlled as a quarterback and you gotta be poised. So you can't do it too much. But every once in a while, in the right moment to do that, it's like, okay. And it's not like over the top. It's not a ridiculous amount. It's just like he, you could tell he wants to win games. He wants to be great. And that's a huge part of it.

• 45:50Travis Kelce?

  And if it is over the fucking top, realize it in the fucking moment. Talk to the, talk to whoever you just went above and beyond with and fucking get it right and let them know, listen, man, I just fucking want this shit.

• 46:01Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 46:02Travis Kelce?

  I'm with you. I'm with you.

• 46:03Speaker 02

  He's a killer, man. And he, you could tell he's competitive as hell. And dude, when you take great traits and you take your competitive individual, usually that leads to a good football player.

• 46:12Travis Kelce?

  I hear you.

• 46:13Speaker 02

  Okay, other teams with home games, what's the toughest place for a playoff game to play at?

• 46:18Travis Kelce?

  Ooh, that's a good one.

• 46:20Speaker 02

  Yeah, I think you gotta go Arrowhead. I will say.

• 46:23Travis Kelce?

  No, this is, this is wild card. This is wild card.

• 46:25Speaker 02

  Okay, if we're just going this round, Buffalo's obviously got crazy home field advantage, one from the fans, but also two from the weather. I'm, I'm a homer. I'm gonna be a homer. I think the link is a hard place to fucking win a playoff game in, and I think it's been that way.

• 46:40Travis Kelce?

  All these games, the link is probably the one that I think is the most hostile environment.

• 46:44Speaker 02

  It's fucking loud.

• 46:45Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 46:46Speaker 02

  It's cold because it's in the Northeast. So some of these southern teams come up, although Green Bay's not going to be dealing with too much. They're not going to be nervous about the cold. I think the link is hard to win a football game in.

• 46:56Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. Especially playoff game.

• 46:58Speaker 02

  I mean, we lost in Tampa Bay last year, but I, I think it's, I'd probably go Buffalo or, or the link. Are my top two. What's harder, the link or Arrowhead?

• 47:07Travis Kelce?

  I mean.

• 47:08Speaker 02

  Let's move on, let's move on, let's move on.

• 47:11Travis Kelce?

  Don't even go, you want to fucking, you want to step into the loudest stadium in the world?

• 47:17Speaker 02

  I think it's equal.

• 47:18Travis Kelce?

  It's like the loudest, nicest stadium in the world, or the almost loudest, and you just got a fun bunch of.

• 47:24Speaker 02

  People are just gonna tear you apart.

• 47:26Travis Kelce?

  Bunch of motherfuckers.

• 47:27Speaker 02

  Throw rocks at the buses. All right. Hypothetical, please don't do that, Philidobians. Hypothetical, all the games are on at once. What games are the YouTube TV quad box? Okay, well, this is.

• 47:40Travis Kelce?

  Shout out to YouTube TV and the quad box.

• 47:43Speaker 02

  No doubt.

• 47:44Travis Kelce?

  I'm going.

• 47:47Travis Kelce?

  I think, I think that Bucks, Washington game is going to be fun to watch. I think that fucking Vikings Rams game is going to be fun to watch.

• 47:56Travis Kelce?

  As much as I think Buffalo is a, you know, is a better team. I think Denver right now is, is playing really fucking good football. So I'll probably watch that one. And I think for me, the game that I'll probably end up like playing the winner of is the Chargers versus Houston game. So I'm gonna watch that one.

• 48:20Speaker 02

  Oh, man, I don't even know. I'll probably, so I'll definitely watch Eagles, Green Bay.

• 48:25Travis Kelce?

  They'll, they're gonna fucking blow them out. I'm not gonna watch that game.

• 48:28Speaker 02

  I mean, do Green Bay, Green Bay's surprising. Matt LaFleur sometimes can dial up some stuff.

• 48:31Travis Kelce?

  Dude, I got all the respect in them.

• 48:33Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 48:34Travis Kelce?

  I just don't see it.

• 48:35Speaker 02

  Jordan Love, when he's on, he can sling it. I think that game, I don't think it's gonna be a blowout, but I do think the Eagles win. I'm definitely watching Baltimore versus Steelers, because I'm an AFC North kind of guy, and I think that that matchup is always intense, even though the Steelers are floundering right now, like they are struggling. They're limping to the finish line, but I can't help myself. Bills, Broncos, and I'm probably watching Tampa Bay, Washington.

• 49:05Travis Kelce?

  Really?

• 49:06Speaker 02

  Yeah, I mean, the Vikings LA one is interesting to me. The one that I'm definitely not watching is Houston versus Chargers. I don't know why that one's like not even, that's the least interesting game to me. Is that fair?

• 49:15Travis Kelce?

  I, I, I'm watching it because I think that's probably who you're playing. Teams I'm gonna play.

• 49:20Speaker 02

  Yeah, right. Yeah. Well, this is a

• 49:22Travis Kelce?

  Just based off the seeding.

• 49:24Speaker 02

  The reality is I'm watching all of these games because playoff football is the fucking best. But if they all played at once and I have to watch only four, that's probably the form goal.

• 49:32Travis Kelce?

  That's probably the best way you can answer that.

• 49:33Speaker 02

  Now I'm done. I'm kidding. I'm back. And we're doing some blind rankings of plays of the year. That's right. All right. Let's uh, let's move on. And we want to take a minute to recognize some of the most incredible moments from the regular season this year. And what better way to do that than our new favorite game, Blind Rankings?

• 54:24Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 54:25Travis Kelce?

  This Blind Rankings is brought to you by our friends at Intuit TurboTax.

• 54:30Speaker 02

  Wonderful.

• 54:31Travis Kelce?

  Love that. Make sure you do your fucking taxes. All right. Here's uh, here's how it works. In case you missed us doing this on Christmas episode, we'll blindly rank 10 of the best plays from the NFL season. And this is as about a true blind ranking as possible because I really don't remember a lot of the great plays.

• 54:50Speaker 02

  Yeah, we haven't even discussed it.

• 54:52Travis Kelce?

  We will only see uh, one play at a time and place it on the list before seeing the next one. So one by one, we'll just throw it uh, one through 10 on where we think it resides. And uh, one change, uh, me and Jason will have one veto each. All right. So we can veto each other one time.

• 55:09Speaker 02

  You can veto the play. Like we can say like it doesn't belong in the top 10? I'll give you one.

• 55:14Speaker 07

  One veto each of this is not a top 10 play. I have backups ready to go.

• 55:18Travis Kelce?

  One change is me and Jason will be able to veto one play out of the entire top 10. So if we think this play is dog shit and Brandon did a terrible job of bringing 10 plays in, uh,

• 55:29Speaker 07

  They can hear me on this recording.

• 55:31Travis Kelce?

  Oh, they can't. Perfect. Nice.

• 55:34Speaker 02

  I just really hope I remember these plays. All right. Let's, uh, let's take a look at the first play then, Brandon.

• 55:40Speaker 07

  First play from week 16 Lions Bears.

• 55:44Speaker 02

  Oh, oh my.

• 55:46Speaker 07

  The fake stumble.

• 55:47Speaker 02

  Oh.

• 55:50Travis Kelce?

  Pretty good. Pretty good.

• 55:53Speaker 02

  I mean, the only reason I want to, I want to almost veto this cause like, I don't think the stumble affected fucking anything like, I mean, can we rewind it? Let me see what the linebackers do. Does anybody react to this thing?

• 56:07Travis Kelce?

  I mean, they definitely don't react. They definitely don't just retreat.

• 56:10Speaker 02

  You know what? All right. I'll, I'll leave it in there.

• 56:13Travis Kelce?

  I mean,

• 56:14Speaker 02

  The entire sideline was screaming too. I think it, it deserves to be up there just for the creativity and the amount of like bought in from like everybody, including the sideline.

• 56:25Travis Kelce?

  That's a great trip. It looks like he's

• 56:28Speaker 02

  It looked like he was falling.

• 56:29Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. It almost looked like the week before where he did fall to, to win the game on fourth down.

• 56:35Speaker 02

  I just think that the lateral to Penny Sewell was a much better Lions play that never ended up going in the lateral to the tackle, the hook and lateral to the,

• 56:44Speaker 02

  to the right tackle. All right. Anyways, okay. Where do we think this is? We can't put it too high.

• 56:48Travis Kelce?

  You can throw it a 10. I think 10 is a solid.

• 56:50Speaker 02

  Right. It's, it didn't determine a game. Like it's a fun trick play, but it wasn't like that. I'm with you. We'll go 10.

• 56:56Travis Kelce?

  10. Throw it in 10.

• 57:00Travis Kelce?

  Had some awesome plays. So I think there's going to be another Lions clip up here.

• 57:03Speaker 02

  There better be.

• 57:04Travis Kelce?

  Pretty soon.

• 57:05Speaker 07

  Play number two from week 13 Bills Niners.

• 57:09Speaker 02

  Oh, this is a great

• 57:10Travis Kelce?

  Lateral. This is a good one. Just backyard ball right here. The old snow game.

• 57:15Speaker 02

  And Josh, this was the first time a player ever threw and ran.

• 57:24Travis Kelce?

  He had a completion and a receiving touchdown.

• 57:27Speaker 02

  Yes. All in the same play. Right?

• 57:28Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 57:29Speaker 02

  And it was the first time that's ever happened.

• 57:30Travis Kelce?

  Yep.

• 57:31Speaker 02

  I think, I think you gotta put this high.

• 57:33Travis Kelce?

  No, no, no, no, no, it's not. No, it's not. Marcus Mariota did it against the Chiefs in the playoffs. He threw a ball to somebody, Darrel Rivas smacked it down and he then caught it and went into the end zone.

• 57:48Speaker 02

  Yeah, but that's not a, this is a, that's not a rushing touchdown to be smacked it down, right?

• 57:53Travis Kelce?

  No, this was a receiving touchdown.

• 57:54Speaker 07

  This was a receiving touchdown.

• 57:56Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah. Either, okay, either way, rare that this happens.

• 57:59Travis Kelce?

  Semantics. Yeah, I think this is awesome play. Um, I think, uh,

• 58:05Speaker 02

  Can't go too high.

• 58:06Travis Kelce?

  Can't go too high, can't go too high.

• 58:07Speaker 02

  They're winning 21 to three.

• 58:09Travis Kelce?

  This is just a heads up, but it's.

• 58:11Speaker 02

  Piss out of them.

• 58:11Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, it's only the first half, though.

• 58:13Speaker 02

  So.

• 58:14Travis Kelce?

  Says third quarter right there.

• 58:15Speaker 02

  Third quarter, second half. Okay, let's go. What do you think? Three or four, maybe?

• 58:19Travis Kelce?

  What? No, let's throw this a five. Let's not get too bold.

• 58:23Speaker 02

  I'll go five, I'll go five.

• 58:24Travis Kelce?

  Not get too bold.

• 58:24Speaker 02

  Yeah, leave some space, leave some space. I think this is a dope play.

• 58:27Travis Kelce?

  There were some other Josh Allen plays this year. I could, I could feel it.

• 58:30Speaker 07

  Week 10, Broncos, Chiefs.

• 58:32Travis Kelce?

  Oh, that was fucking electric.

• 58:35Speaker 02

  Yes, it was.

• 58:37Travis Kelce?

  I mean, you gotta play that. You didn't even let us watch the entire thing.

• 58:48Travis Kelce?

  Kevin Harland on it too, dude? Shout out to Harland, man.

• 58:53Speaker 02

  It's so good. It is so good.

• 58:54Travis Kelce?

  So epic, dude. His voice, he might be one of my fa- I mean, he's up there as one of my favorites.

• 58:58Speaker 02

  He is really good.

• 59:00Travis Kelce?

  Dude, honestly, a little biased, but I think, I think that goes above Josh Allen's lateral.

• 59:08Speaker 02

  I kind of agree. It's a dude blocking a field goal to win a game. Like as a walk off and not only like kind of getting lucky, but like they like knew exactly what they were doing. They knew where, like it was like thought out. I'm pretty sure Chanel called it, like said, like, we're gonna go block this.

• 59:26Travis Kelce?

  He did.

• 59:26Speaker 02

  So all around, I think it's just a fucking crazy play.

• 59:31Travis Kelce?

  There were a few, there were a few big block field goals this season though. So I don't know if

• 59:36Speaker 02

  I'm just being biased, but. Do you want to go four or three on this?

• 59:41Speaker 02

  Or do you want to go higher?

• 59:42Travis Kelce?

  I think it's either four or six. It's either four or six. I'll let you call it.

• 59:46Speaker 02

  Just because the, it ended up in the only reason the Chiefs won the game and the Josh Allen lateral was like up 21, three, I'll put it at four. If we're going four or six, I'll go four.

• 59:55Travis Kelce?

  All right.

• 59:56Speaker 07

  From week 12, Cowboys, Commanders, 99 yard kick return.

• 1:00:02Travis Kelce?

  Oh my God.

• 1:00:03Speaker 02

  I mean, it's a chirp it is fast. Hit that B button. Hit that B button on them.

• 1:00:10Travis Kelce?

  Shit. Dude, this was electric.

• 1:00:13Speaker 02

  It's a dope play.

• 1:00:14Travis Kelce?

  I mean, this has got to be up there. This has got to be up there. Three or two. It's got to be up there. If not one, I don't know. I can't remember what play would be better this season.

• 1:00:24Speaker 02

  You think this is

• 1:00:26Travis Kelce?

  Dude.

• 1:00:26Speaker 02

  Better than that block kick to win the game?

• 1:00:29Travis Kelce?

  Dude, a kick return with three minutes left in the game?

• 1:00:33Speaker 02

  Yeah. I mean, it's a dope play.

• 1:00:37Travis Kelce?

  Fumbles the ball. He picks that shit up on the one yard line with everybody 10 yards from him.

• 1:00:44Speaker 02

  All right, I'll go three. I'll go three.

• 1:00:45Travis Kelce?

  Oh my.

• 1:00:46Speaker 02

  I don't think it's as good as the Josh Allen play, if I'm being honest, but I'll go three.

• 1:00:49Travis Kelce?

  You're insane.

• 1:00:50Speaker 07

  Week eight, Washington, Bears.

• 1:00:55Travis Kelce?

  Walk off?

• 1:00:56Speaker 02

  Yeah, well, it's the fuck up. The only reason I can't give this one that high is because like it's an insane amount of luck and the Bears fucked it up more than they even got it right. So it's like.

• 1:01:10Travis Kelce?

  That's a good shot taken. Listen, he did his job. He did his job. He was the tip guy. He was in the back.

• 1:01:16Speaker 02

  He was right where he needed to be.

• 1:01:17Travis Kelce?

  This is what, this is teach tape right here. If you're, if you're in a football locker room.

• 1:01:21Speaker 02

  And it was to win the game. So it's, I mean.

• 1:01:24Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. I'll give it a nice solid seven or eight. Seven sounds good. Seven sounds good.

• 1:01:29Speaker 07

  From week 15.

• 1:01:32Speaker 02

  Let's go.

• 1:01:33Speaker 07

  Believe this is.

• 1:01:35Speaker 02

  You can just put the Saquon hurdle at one already.

• 1:01:38Travis Kelce?

  There it is. That's what I was thinking of.

• 1:01:40Speaker 02

  I do love, dude, I do love a big man.

• 1:01:43Travis Kelce?

  Oh, that was electric. Oh.

• 1:01:46Speaker 02

  I mean, it's a great play. It is a great play.

• 1:01:51Speaker 02

  It's so good. It's so good.

• 1:01:53Travis Kelce?

  Dude, a big man pick. Are you kidding me?

• 1:01:55Speaker 02

  Is that a pick or is that a?

• 1:01:58Travis Kelce?

  Fucking strip. Yeah. Oh, that stiff up. Do you know how hard it is to stiff arm a 300 pound fucking offensive lineman?

• 1:02:04Speaker 02

  I just love you hit some of the shush shush at the beginning of that. Go back to the start of that. Get that shush shush in there.

• 1:02:08Travis Kelce?

  Bing bing.

• 1:02:09Speaker 02

  He goes right here. He hits it and then right away gets the ball up. Shush shush.

• 1:02:18Speaker 02

  Set up the block.

• 1:02:19Travis Kelce?

  Hit the highway. Oh, so good. God damn, that's good.

• 1:02:23Speaker 02

  It's a great play, but we I can we can't put it up.

• 1:02:26Travis Kelce?

  We gotta hold. We gotta hold two and six. I think eight is a solid spot.

• 1:02:29Speaker 02

  I think it's eight or nine play.

• 1:02:30Travis Kelce?

  Nice.

• 1:02:31Speaker 07

  All right, from week nine, Jets Texans.

• 1:02:35Speaker 02

  Week nine, what happened on this play? Oh, this catch was great. That's a great catch.

• 1:02:40Travis Kelce?

  Didn't count. It wasn't a catch.

• 1:02:42Speaker 07

  Jets Jake, Jets Jake rule.

• 1:02:44Speaker 04

  It counted. His shin goes down.

• 1:02:46Speaker 02

  Yeah, I thought it got overturned, right?

• 1:02:48Speaker 07

  It did. It did. It counted.

• 1:02:49Travis Kelce?

  It counted his what was it?

• 1:02:51Speaker 07

  His shin. His shin was down.

• 1:02:53Speaker 02

  They called it. They called it a touchdown eventually.

• 1:02:55Travis Kelce?

  I mean, if that's a catch, that's a two. That's you gotta throw it a two.

• 1:03:00Speaker 02

  That's a fucking insane catch.

• 1:03:01Travis Kelce?

  God damn, that's insane. I mean, if that's in the for a touchdown too. God damn, that's nasty.

• 1:03:08Speaker 02

  We we going two?

• 1:03:09Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, we gotta go to. That was a fucking unbelievable. That's yeah.

• 1:03:13Speaker 02

  That's pretty insane.

• 1:03:14Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:15Speaker 07

  All right. You've been waiting for it from week nine. Hold on Eagles Jags.

• 1:03:23Travis Kelce?

  Slide.

• 1:03:27Travis Kelce?

  Number one, there's no, there's no way there's any play.

• 1:03:30Speaker 02

  Crazy.

• 1:03:32Speaker 02

  It's so crazy.

• 1:03:33Travis Kelce?

  I could watch this shit all day. This is fucking poetry.

• 1:03:36Speaker 02

  Somebody backwards.

• 1:03:37Travis Kelce?

  The spin move alone would have been in the top 10 of this list.

• 1:03:41Speaker 02

  Oh, God.

• 1:03:42Speaker 07

  All right, keep it going. Yeah, week five. This is Saints Chiefs.

• 1:03:48Speaker 02

  Oh, being Sir Banky. I'll go nine. I love the play.

• 1:03:52Travis Kelce?

  Sir Bank. Ah, get up on the hover, look at it.

• 1:03:55Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:03:58Travis Kelce?

  I fucking love that dude, man. Shout out to Sir Bank. Top 10 play of the top 10 play of the year.

• 1:04:04Speaker 02

  I go nine on Sir Bank. It's right below the sweat play. I feel like that's a good spot for it.

• 1:04:09Speaker 07

  All right, and this will be number six if it holds. This is from week 16 Chargers Broncos.

• 1:04:18Speaker 07

  The free kick.

• 1:04:20Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, we'll veto.

• 1:04:20Speaker 02

  Veto.

• 1:04:21Speaker 07

  God damn it.

• 1:04:23Speaker 02

  Genius use of the strategy, but no veto.

• 1:04:26Speaker 07

  Okay, it's out. It's out.

• 1:04:28Speaker 02

  Who's using the veto?

• 1:04:29Travis Kelce?

  I'll use that. This shit was buns.

• 1:04:33Speaker 07

  All right.

• 1:04:34Speaker 02

  The guy just did a practice kick that he did a warm ups all.

• 1:04:38Speaker 07

  Listen, you only see it every 60 years.

• 1:04:42Speaker 02

  It was a, it was a great job by Harbaugh to utilize a stupid rule, but.

• 1:04:46Speaker 07

  Okay, we are going to our first backup play of the year. It is from week 16 Bengals Browns. It is the Borough Horizontal TD.

• 1:04:59Travis Kelce?

  I mean, that was a fucking hell of a throw.

• 1:05:01Speaker 02

  I want to veto this one, too. This isn't that like.

• 1:05:04Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, shout out to Joey B.

• 1:05:05Speaker 02

  It's a, I mean, listen, Joe deserves to be up here, but.

• 1:05:08Travis Kelce?

  I don't know if that's the one.

• 1:05:10Speaker 02

  That's not better than the Washington Hail Mary. So I got to veto it and hope that something better than these, than these ones are in there.

• 1:05:16Travis Kelce?

  I mean, I know one Bengals play right now that's better than.

• 1:05:19Speaker 07

  Go ahead. All right. Well, let's get to our next two alternates. Next two alternates. Give me, give me a break here.

• 1:05:24Speaker 02

  You got, how is Lamar Jackson not on here anywhere?

• 1:05:27Speaker 07

  It wasn't on the list that I stole from.

• 1:05:30Travis Kelce?

  Dude, you're ridiculous. His fucking touchdown like two weeks ago.

• 1:05:34Speaker 02

  Stiff arm, the Bengals. Yes, that one should definitely be on here. And this would be the perfect slot for it.

• 1:05:41Speaker 07

  All right, do it.

• 1:05:43Speaker 02

  We can't. Brandon, that's not how the blind ranking works.

• 1:05:47Speaker 07

  I'll give you one. I'll give you one. I'll give you one.

• 1:05:50Speaker 02

  No.

• 1:05:50Travis Kelce?

  Let's hear it. Let's see what you put up here now.

• 1:05:53Speaker 07

  All right, all right, all right.

• 1:05:55Speaker 02

  What are we stuck with?

• 1:05:56Speaker 07

  From week two Vikings Niners 99 yard touchdown reception.

• 1:06:02Speaker 02

  Jefferson.

• 1:06:03Travis Kelce?

  I mean, it's electric.

• 1:06:04Speaker 02

  Yeah, I think this is good. I'm fine with this. As a number six.

• 1:06:09Travis Kelce?

  I mean, it can be up there. I don't know if it's.

• 1:06:11Speaker 02

  I don't, I think we're leaving out some other top ten plays.

• 1:06:14Travis Kelce?

  We 100% are, but it's a blind ranking.

• 1:06:16Speaker 02

  We presented. I feel very good about this list.

• 1:06:18Travis Kelce?

  I feel better about this list now. Yeah.

• 1:06:20Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:06:21Travis Kelce?

  I'm with you though. The Josh Allen lateral probably could have been a little higher.

• 1:06:24Speaker 02

  Very solid.

• 1:06:25Travis Kelce?

  Solid list. Some plays, some plays that could have probably been up here. We just talked about the Lamar play. Bengals cornerback interception week two against us. I don't know how the fuck Brit even caught that fucking ball. I'm still confused on how he caught that fucking ball. Um, that was one of the best interceptions I've ever seen in my life.

• 1:06:44Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:06:45Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. Other than that.

• 1:06:48Travis Kelce?

  Shout out to everybody. Please send any play that we missed to, uh, at J chat 85 on Twitter and, uh,

• 1:06:57Speaker 02

  Good luck with that one.

• 1:06:58Speaker 07

  Good luck, buddy. His DMs are open, guys. Get in there. Let him know what he got wrong.

• 1:07:03Speaker 04

  They're not open.

• 1:07:05Speaker 02

  They're not open.

• 1:07:06Travis Kelce?

  And that was blind rankings brought to you by Intuit TurboTax.

• 1:07:10Speaker 02

  Hey.

• 1:07:11Travis Kelce?

  Now this is taxes.

• 1:07:13Speaker 02

  Before we get out of here, let's ask some not dumb questions that came in to the new heights hotline. That's right. No dumb questions is brought to you by Mint Mobile. Shout out to, uh, our guy Ryan Reynolds. All right.

• 1:07:26Speaker 04

  Hello, brothers. Merry Christmas.

• 1:07:28Speaker 02

  Merry Christmas.

• 1:07:28Speaker 04

  I have a very, very important question to ask. I'm here watching, uh, some football and hanging out with family and we started talking. And I have a very, very important question to ask. And I think you two are the only ones that can answer. What happened to the jockstrap? Seriously. I don't think you boys wear them anymore. You just see everything hanging and moving and running and oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. What happened to the jockstrap? All right. Take care.

• 1:08:02Travis Kelce?

  Not as aware.

• 1:08:05Speaker 04

  It's a lot of fun. Bye.

• 1:08:06Travis Kelce?

  Not as aware as this woman at, uh, what's going on with the genitals throughout the game, but, uh, you know, watch the game for wherever you watch the game for. You know, I'm not here to judge why someone's watching the game and whether or not they're checking out which guys got what jock straps on or.

• 1:08:23Speaker 02

  What happened to the jockstrap is they invented compression shorts and they're just way more efficient at holding everything in place and better.

• 1:08:29Travis Kelce?

  And it eliminates the chafing that could possibly go on.

• 1:08:32Speaker 02

  Correct, but I.

• 1:08:33Travis Kelce?

  So it's like you knock out two birds with one stone. You gotta fucking gold powder your gooch and your, your thighs every fucking day. You could just throw on some compression shorts.

• 1:08:41Speaker 02

  I still wore the jockstrap. I liked, there was something I liked about the jockstrap.

• 1:08:44Travis Kelce?

  Nice, I mean.

• 1:08:45Speaker 02

  And I only wore it on game day, though. And I would walk around the locker room making my pre-workout and nothing but my jockstrap and I thought it was funny.

• 1:08:55Speaker 02

  So maybe that's the reason I wore it, but.

• 1:09:02Speaker 02

  I also thought it like cupped my butt cheek nice and it made my butt look better.

• 1:09:05Travis Kelce?

  I didn't realize you were going for a nice look.

• 1:09:08Speaker 02

  I needed help because I don't have a great ass, so.

• 1:09:13Travis Kelce?

  Alright, there you go. I think, uh, yeah, the, the compression shorts came in.

• 1:09:18Speaker 02

  Yeah, they're a little better at doing the job.

• 1:09:20Travis Kelce?

  Nobody, nobody's, well, it also, not, not a lot of guys wear cups anymore and the jockstrap was initially to hold the, the cup.

• 1:09:26Speaker 02

  Well, that's how we always use it, but I do think there, the jockstrap was also utilized before compression shorts to hold the junk. But once you have compression shorts, you didn't need that.

• 1:09:37Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, I hear you.

• 1:09:38Speaker 02

  Alrighty.

• 1:09:39Travis Kelce?

  Glad we could help you out.

• 1:09:40Speaker 02

  By the way, get your mind out of the, what was that woman's name? Do we remember?

• 1:09:43Travis Kelce?

  No, she just said Merry Christmas.

• 1:09:46Speaker 02

  Merry Christmas to you. Just watch some football, you know, you get a free. She's acting like she's not happy about it.

• 1:09:56Travis Kelce?

  It's so disturbing seeing everybody's junk just jump around on the TV.

• 1:10:03Speaker 02

  All of this phallic meat bouncing from thigh to thigh.

• 1:10:08Speaker 07

  I'm gonna throw one at you that I just hate this question and I hate people ask it. So I want to see how you guys feel.

• 1:10:14Travis Kelce?

  Perfect.

• 1:10:15Speaker 04

  Hey guys, this is William from Montgomery.

• 1:10:18Travis Kelce?

  William Montgomery?

• 1:10:19Speaker 04

  I just wanted to know what your opinion is on fall weddings.

• 1:10:23Speaker 02

  Fall weddings?

• 1:10:23Speaker 04

  Uh, me and my girlfriend have talked about getting married and, um, she pay, she wants a fall wedding and I told her, good luck with that.

• 1:10:35Speaker 02

  Oh my gosh.

• 1:10:36Speaker 04

  I'm gonna be at a football game. Um, so I just wanted to know you guys' opinion on that. Appreciate it.

• 1:10:44Speaker 02

  Sounds like this marriage is gonna work out great.

• 1:10:47Travis Kelce?

  I actually don't know. People who've gotten married in the fall because the all the weddings I've been to and all my friends always do it in the summer, I guess.

• 1:10:57Speaker 02

  Yeah, we can't go usually.

• 1:10:58Travis Kelce?

  I think Jason's pretty spot on with you guys gotta be more in sync on things. You gotta be willing to, you know, find a weekend where the team isn't playing anybody good, maybe. Also, if you really do have a problem with that, maybe it's in her best interest to not have it in the fall so that she knows you're invested in the anniversary every time it comes around. I think you guys should duke that out. I don't think we have any say on what you should be doing here. And yeah, I mean, I've seen weddings in fucking February. I've seen weddings everywhere but the fall. So I'm not sure if the fall is a good wedding season.

• 1:11:38Speaker 02

  Brother, I'm gonna tell you right now, do the fall in the wedding and avoid this frivolous fight that means absolutely fucking nothing. You can watch the football game, another like record it and watch it again. Like, I don't know what you want me to say. Like, there's certain things that are more important than football. And if the wedding isn't more important than football, we got some bigger issues here. Like, I get what you're saying. You can do it another time. Just speaking from a experience.

• 1:12:04Travis Kelce?

  Unless we got a big parlay. Unless we got a big parlay. And we got a fucking sweetie, we gotta make this money.

• 1:12:11Speaker 07

  That's how we pay for the wedding. Unless that's how you're paying for the wedding.

• 1:12:15Travis Kelce?

  How do we pay for the booze at the wedding if I can't make sure this parlay hits?

• 1:12:19Speaker 02

  I just don't get, there's a lot of days in the fall that there's not football. We can't find a.

• 1:12:25Travis Kelce?

  Light name one.

• 1:12:27Speaker 02

  Well, depending on whether he goes to college and NFL games on Sunday, like you can go on a Friday, you can have a wedding on a Friday.

• 1:12:35Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, but it's a weekend thing.

• 1:12:38Speaker 02

  It's a little, it's a little inconsiderate for travel.
