• 0:45Travis Kelce?

  Thank you to our sponsor, Colgate Total.

• 0:48Speaker 03

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

• 0:53Travis Kelce?

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

• 1:00Speaker 03

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

• 1:04Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, like in your mouth.

• 1:06Speaker 03

  My mouth specifically?

• 1:07Travis 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.

• 1:19Speaker 03

  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.

• 1:30Travis Kelce?

  Ooh, exactly. With twice daily brushing, Colgate Total prevents oral health problems like cavities and gingivitis.

• 1:37Speaker 03

  And it's not just one contributing player either. It's a whole system: toothpaste, mouthwash, and a special toothbrush.

• 1:45Travis Kelce?

  Now that's the squad you want fighting for your mouth.

• 1:48Speaker 03

  Colgate Total is like having a full playbook in your bathroom, working to help prevent oral health problems before they start.

  Get Colgate Total on Amazon today.

• 2:00Speaker 04

  It's said everything happens for a reason, but maybe everything happens for a recess. Take noise cancelling headphones. Do they block hearing to heighten taste? Hmm. That sound seems to show everything happens for a recess.

• 2:15Travis Kelce?

  You gotta have a loose caboose, man. You can't let that, you gotta keep your composure. Can't pucker up.

• 2:19Speaker 03

  Listen, I don't play anymore. So now I just sit there and my butthole puckers because I have zero control. If I have control, I'd have a loose butthole, but because I don't have control, my butthole gets tight.

• 2:34Travis Kelce?

  Nice. Thank you, Brandon, for being on top of those Heights Hotline voicemails.

• 3:33Speaker 03

  Yeah. Way to go, intern Brandon. By the way, Kylie let out, Kylie let the cat out of the bag that intern Brandon is actually the executive producer Brandon and that he's not actually an intern, which.

• 3:44Travis Kelce?

  That's fucked up, Kylie.

• 3:45Speaker 03

• 4:14Speaker 03

  Twist my arm, twist my arm.

• 4:16Travis Kelce?

  Um, that's a double feature review of Love Actually and Christmas Vacation.

• 4:22Speaker 03

  How do we feel about this?

• 4:23Travis Kelce?

  Is this right? There, did we fucking, did we?

• 4:25Speaker 03

  We did. I think I.

• 4:26Travis Kelce?

  Handcuffed ourselves into this?

• 4:27Speaker 03

  I think I handcuffed, I think Kylie handcuffed us into this.

• 4:31Travis Kelce?

  Now, so she's calling out our interns and she's.

• 4:35Speaker 03

  She's making us watch more than one video.

• 4:37Travis Kelce?

  This is war Kylie.

• 4:38Speaker 03

  Yeah. I don't know what we're gonna do to get her back, but, um.

• 4:40Travis Kelce?

  I guess we just gotta get her on, uh, on new heights.

• 4:43Speaker 03

  But she's gonna come on and do Love Actually review.

• 4:46Travis Kelce?

  Nice.

• 4:47Speaker 03

  So we'll see how that goes.

• 4:48Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, that'll be fun.

• 4:49Speaker 03

  And then we're gonna do Christmas Vacation, Chevy Chase and what the ninety-two percenters wanted to listen to. So yeah, it should be fun. Is Kylie gonna be a part of the Christmas Vacation review too?

• 4:58Travis Kelce?

  I think we're both about to be a part of both.

• 5:00Speaker 03

  Yeah. Intern Brandon said sure. So I guess, yeah.

• 5:03Travis Kelce?

  Sweet.

• 5:05Speaker 03

  This is probably also going to be our Christmas episode. For all of you listening, I don't know what that means. I just know that we're probably thinking of some cool things. Maybe we'll decorate, put some Christmas lights up in there.

• 5:15Travis Kelce?

  You used to have the green and reds back there.

• 5:18Speaker 03

  Any place that has Christmas lights year round is, it's my kinda jam.

• 5:22Travis Kelce?

  It's your kinda jam?

• 5:23Speaker 03

  So anyways, uh, the Christmas episode is gonna come out, it's gonna come out on Christmas, Brandon?

• 5:28Travis Kelce?

  Either.

• 5:29Speaker 03

  The fuck does around mean? Okay, Christmas episode is gonna come out Christmas Eve. That's gonna have Kylie on it. We're gonna review both of these movies as well. Talk about other things Christmas related. Um, Travis has, what, three games in ten days? Is that what's going on?

• 5:42Travis Kelce?

  I think that's the number, yeah.

• 5:44Speaker 03

  It's crazy. So Travis is gonna be pretty busy. It's gonna be a weird schedule. So we're gonna record this and put it out Christmas Eve, I think, is what Brandon just said. Um, so if it's not that, blame him. Anyways, look forward to that episode and these film reviews coming, uh. Coming then. Yeah, should be fun.

• 6:01Travis Kelce?

  Gonna be a blast. Ooh, the Grinch came in second, man.

• 6:04Speaker 03

  I know. It's a great one. I mean, the good thing about all of these movies, I'm gonna watch all four of these anyways.

• 6:09Travis Kelce?

  It's a Wonderful Life. I don't think I would have, I would have watched that one.

• 6:13Speaker 03

  So I'll say this, have you, we never watched this growing up. Have you ever watched A Wonderful Life? It's a Wonderful Life?

• 6:19Travis Kelce?

  No.

• 6:19Speaker 03

  I highly rate, I'm telling you, go give it a chance. It's a good movie. It's black and white. So it's, it's got some years on it. But it's, it's a nice film. I really enjoy it. I watched it for the first time a couple of years ago, because I've, everybody's always putting it up there with one of their favorite Christmas movies.

• 6:34Travis Kelce?

  Everybody?

• 6:35Speaker 03

  It's, I mean, it got 13, it got more than Scrooge. Like it's, it got a good amount of votes. It's definitely one from a different generation. But it's very good. It holds up. It holds up.

• 6:47Travis Kelce?

  All right, all right. I'll think about it. I'll think about it. Or I might just watch Christmas Vacation. Well, Jason, we were spotted in Vancouver for the last stop on the Eras Tour.

• 6:58Speaker 03

  Vancouver? I wasn't in Vancouver.

• 7:00Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, you were. Look at that belly and that beard, dude.

• 7:03Speaker 03

  Oh, what the fuck?

• 7:06Speaker 03

  I'm not fat. I'm not, that's not what I look like.

• 7:09Travis Kelce?

  That's it. That's what I look like right now.

• 7:15Speaker 03

  That is so good.

• 7:16Travis Kelce?

  There was a mention of, of tight Jumanji pants. How about that?

• 7:24Travis Kelce?

  So good.

• 7:25Speaker 03

  Oh, my goodness.

• 7:27Travis Kelce?

  How about it? I wonder, I wonder if Tay saw them in the stands. She, you can't keep it together if you see that. Like, there's no way you're like in the middle of a song and you see them walking around. You're just like.

• 7:39Speaker 03

  I, I mean, I would lose it. What is, I love that, I love that the one lady went mustache era Travis Kelce.

• 7:48Travis Kelce?

  Oh, yeah.

• 7:49Speaker 03

  This is full on homemade jerseys. How do you even make that? You don't buy that anywhere. Those are, but that's like pressed on numbers and letters.

• 7:59Travis Kelce?

  Yes, very nicely done.

• 8:00Speaker 03

  There's a lot of effort put into this.

• 8:01Travis Kelce?

  It's DIY for sure. DIY, sorry.

• 8:03Speaker 03

  DIY?

• 8:04Travis Kelce?

  There it is. Do it yourself.

• 8:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, they probably had a blast. Uh, there was also this Andy Reid deal going on in the Big Red era.

• 8:12Travis Kelce?

  Ooh, nice. That's pretty good.

• 8:15Speaker 03

  There were like two Andy Reeds that are two friends.

• 8:18Travis Kelce?

  Nice.

• 8:19Speaker 03

  What is it about Andy Reid that like anybody dressing like him is just like incredible?

• 8:24Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, and everybody loves it.

• 8:25Speaker 03

  He's just so iconic, that mustache.

• 8:27Travis Kelce?

  Stash, that stash is just, it's just, just sweeps you away, man, doesn't it? Just.

• 8:33Speaker 03

  Just a great nickname too, Big Red. I mean.

• 8:36Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, Kool-Aid Man.

• 8:38Speaker 03

  There's a whole chewing gum named after it. Steubenville, Ohio, Big Red.

• 8:42Travis Kelce?

  Oh, yeah.

• 8:43Speaker 03

  That's right. Shout out to Clarice, Steubenville.

• 8:46Travis Kelce?

  Bakary.

• 8:47Speaker 03

  Gosh, it's a great name, Big Red.

• 8:49Travis Kelce?

  Nice. Well, shout out to Tay and the unbelievable Eras Tour has finally come to an end.

• 8:55Speaker 03

  How, dude, so how, hold on, how long was the Eras Tour?

• 8:59Travis Kelce?

  It was.

• 9:00Speaker 03

  Over two years?

• 9:01Travis Kelce?

  Almost two years.

• 9:02Speaker 03

  Almost two years?

• 9:03Travis Kelce?

  March, of the year that we played.

• 9:05Speaker 03

  How many shows, do you know, off the top of your head?

• 9:07Travis Kelce?

  Uh, 149 or 152, I forget which one it was, somewhere in there.

• 9:14Speaker 03

  There's so many shows.

• 9:16Travis Kelce?

  Is kinda how I sum it up.

• 9:17Speaker 03

  149 shows in 21 countries, wow.

• 9:20Travis Kelce?

  It's insane, absolutely insane. Over 10 million people in the stands over the course of it, like accumulatively. It's pretty crazy.

• 9:28Speaker 03

  Well, shout out to Tay.

• 9:30Travis Kelce?

  Shout out to everybody that was a part of that show. Obviously, it's, it's her, it's her music, her tour and everything, but that, that was a full production, man. That thing.

• 9:39Speaker 03

  Yeah, fair enough.

• 9:40Travis Kelce?

  It was the best tour in the world because of a lot of people and mostly because of Taylor. All right. Shout out to everybody, man.

• 9:48Speaker 03

  All righty, Walter Payton, Man of the Year. I don't know if all of you saw, but my brother Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chief, is nominated for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year from Chiefs owner Clark Hunt. Through his new ignition lab, the growing 87 and running foundation and his partnership with Operation Breakthrough, Travis has impacted the lives of thousands of young people in the Kansas City region and beyond. Very few athletes in the history of the game have been, have balanced the same level of team success, individual accolades and community engagement.

• 10:21Speaker 03

  Trav, how's it feel to be nominated? This is, this is awesome. It's a huge award.

• 10:24Travis Kelce?

  It is, it is a huge award. I, you know, I love getting out here in the Kansas City community, man. I really do. They show up for each other so much and they, they do it with so much pride. And, um, you know, that's the beauty of, of having that relationship with the community was, is always to, you know, try and make a, a better world for the ones that, uh, that support you on game day, man. Or just, or, or need that help and that support in the, in the, uh, in the community. And I've just been so lucky that I came here to Kansas City and got the opportunity from the Hunt family. And I realized real early on that they were an organization and, and how they ran this organization was that they wanted everyone in the community, making sure the, the people in Kansas City felt the support that we feel on Sundays.

• 11:08Travis Kelce?

  And the one thing that you see when you first walk in that building is all of the winners and all the winners of the man of the year in terms of, you know, how much like history Kansas City players have in this community. And, um, and everybody getting acknowledged for that. And I don't do it for the awards. I don't do it for the acknowledgement. I do it for the smiles on the kids' faces at the ignition lab and at Operation Breakthrough. Um, and, and to see what they do with, uh, what we give them at their exposure.

• 11:39Speaker 03

  You're not lying.

• 11:40Travis Kelce?

  And you know, and it's just, it's so, it's so cool to see what they have done with, with what they have to, to work with over there. And this year will be the first year that we actually had the high school kids. Uh, a long story short, Operation Breakthrough is a, a beautiful organization in Kansas City that helps out a lot of the underserved kids, uh, especially on the east side. And yeah, the program, when I first got to Kansas City, stopped in eighth grade. And, uh, and I really wanted to keep that going through the high school years because I know how much of a knucklehead I was and not having anywhere to, to go or a safe haven, or just somewhere to, to, you know, perfect my craft, uh, after school. I would, I don't know where the heck I would have been. So I really wanted to extend that for Operation Breakthrough.

• 12:22Travis Kelce?

  And that's when we created the, uh, ignition lab, 87er Running Ignition Lab, which is a STEM lab. It has everything from a mechanic shop. Uh robotics lab, entertainment studio, e-gaming. It has everything you could possibly need. A kitchen for kids that want to get into the culinary world.

• 12:43Speaker 03

  It's remarkable, honestly. Yeah.

• 12:44Travis Kelce?

  It's unbelievable and I couldn't have done it without the support from KC and the support from everybody working at Operation Breakthrough. And sure enough, we couldn't have done this without the kids that actually want to make a difference with their lives. And that's the beauty of it and that's why I do it, man.

• 13:00Speaker 03

  Yeah, no, I think it's awesome and you know, you, they, they convert some of your vehicles to electric. They're converting my truck to electric, but one of the things we got to see was that fully electric Chevelle.

• 13:08Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, I drove to the game this Sunday.

• 13:10Speaker 03

  That's what, yeah, how'd that feel? Dude, it rolls, it's pretty gnarly. It's cool as shit.

• 13:14Travis Kelce?

  It is cool. It, a big guy like me, it's tough for me to get in those old cars if you don't put, pull the seats back. But man, it is, uh, it's sweet, man. I'll tell you, those old school cars are just so freaking cool, man. I think I got a 71 Chevelle that, uh, some people have may have, may have seen me drive before. But this thing was one of a kind. When you get in there, you can, you can feel how unique it is. Everything's kind of on that digital pad that they have. It's like a little iPad or just like a touchscreen that, that you can put it in drive and reverse and neutral and everything. And then from there, um, it has some pickup. It has some pickup, man. It's got the, it's got those electric EV batteries in there.

• 13:55Travis Kelce?

  Um, and the kids did an unbelievable job and I think it was a smooth ride into the stadium the other day.

• 14:00Speaker 03

  It definitely doesn't have the rumble and there's some of that, that like, obviously the old school gear heads, you know, they're going to want. But I think there's something really cool that Operation Breakthrough is doing where they're, they're taking these older vehicles. They're teaching these kids some of the things that is, the automotive industry is going into and teaching them skills that not everybody really knows what's happening, especially in the EV world. And it's, it's, it's really cool. Um, and on top of that, it's just, I mean. It's just beautiful. They did a great job with it. It's gorgeous in there. They have all the electric stuff, but they also have the old school knobs and whatnot and

• 14:32Travis Kelce?

  Oh, yeah, yeah.

• 14:33Speaker 03

  Very true to like, kind of the way it used to be. So

• 14:36Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, the seats. Yeah.

• 14:38Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 14:39Travis Kelce?

  Well, this is the, this is the first year that, um, that the kids who started in the initial ignition lab year so that they're going to be seniors going into college. Yeah, they're all graduating. So it's, um, it's a pretty cool, uh, to see kids, you know, start as freshmen and really latch on to things. And now, uh, even going to go into college, you know, getting, uh, getting an opportunity to be an architecture major and things like that in, uh, in college. And it's just so cool, man. That's where, uh, that's why you do it.

• 15:09Speaker 03

  Well, no, that's why you do it, Trav. That's why you do it. And you can vote for Travis in the man of the year fan vote using Walter Payton man of the year challenges, hashtag W P M O Y challenge plus at T Kelsey on Twitter. Congrats, Trav. That's awesome.

• 15:25Travis Kelce?

  I love you, big. I appreciate it, man. And, uh, shout out to ignition lab and operation breakthrough for, uh, for just being the awesome, uh, opportunity for these kids that they are, man. Well, I drove in a, uh, 69 Chevelle. Jason, uh, you wrecked a helmet.

• 15:41Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 15:42Travis Kelce?

  Driving around in a little golf cart.

• 15:44Speaker 03

  It's okay. It did. It made it out all right.

• 15:46Travis Kelce?

  They passed the concussion test?

• 15:48Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah.

• 15:49Travis Kelce?

  Look at this, dude.

• 15:50Speaker 03

  Look at that. Cruising.

• 15:53Speaker 03

  Cruising, baby.

• 15:54Travis Kelce?

  You're literally the Philadelphia mascot.

• 15:56Speaker 03

  We literally stopped traffic to do these shoots, which I'm just like, I'm like, this is, it's gonna be a fun bit. It's a fun bit. It's good.

• 16:04Travis Kelce?

  I love it, man. Have you seen this golf cart before?

• 16:06Speaker 03

  Yeah. So the Eagles have this one. They also have a throwback one, like a Kelly Green version of it.

• 16:10Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 16:11Speaker 03

  Uh, kind of, they kind of live in the stadium and we thought it'd be funny. So we're going to use this footage, not this one, but we're going to use this footage in conjunction with the late night show. Gosh, I just took that one swerve a little bit too hard and I couldn't have course corrected. Oh, no.

• 16:27Travis Kelce?

  Dude.

• 16:29Travis Kelce?

  That, that can get dicey.

• 16:32Speaker 03

  No, for sure. Yeah. I mean, I stuck my arm out. It could have gone real bad. It could have gone horrendously bad.

• 16:36Travis Kelce?

  I've actually seen this go real bad, like broken hand bad on a golf course. You were on pavement.

• 16:44Speaker 03

  It's pavement. So, I mean, it's nice and soft. You know, golf courses are pretty hard with all that grass. So.

• 16:51Travis Kelce?

  Well, hey guys, you came out unscathed, man.

• 16:54Speaker 03

  I got those wheels up and I was like, oh dear, here it goes. I could feel it coming.

• 16:58Travis Kelce?

  Big man.

• 16:59Speaker 03

  Luckily I had my helmet on and came out unscathed.

• 17:02Travis Kelce?

  Oh, nice.

• 17:05Speaker 03

  Dad always told us to wear helmets.

• 17:07Travis Kelce?

  He did.

• 17:07Speaker 03

  He was, whenever you're riding your bike, your scooter, you're gonna have a helmet on.

• 17:10Travis Kelce?

  Rollerblading. Hey, put a helmet on.

• 17:14Speaker 03

  Those, those helmets with the wings on them have been protecting me for a while.

• 17:19Travis Kelce?

  So good. Fly Eagles, fly, baby. Um, well, we're all glad you're okay. And that's it for new news brought to you by Paramount Network. Again, watch your Yellowstone season finale this Sunday, eight Eastern, seven Central, followed by, uh, 1923, season one, only on Paramount Network.

• 18:36Speaker 03

  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.

• 18:44Travis 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.

• 18:51Speaker 03

  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?

• 19:01Travis Kelce?

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

• 19:03Speaker 03

  I love a water park.

• 19:04Travis Kelce?

  But the crazy one, Crown's Edge, a ropes course off the side of the ship. Not for the faint of heart, brother.

• 19:13Speaker 03

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

• 19:38Travis Kelce?

  Heyo.

• 19:39Speaker 03

  Bold topics is brought to you by Amazon Prime. Prime is your ticket to holiday magic. All righty, starting with, of course, the Chiefs. That's right, Chiefs 19, Chargers 17. Man, come on, what's going on? Speak to me, Traf.

• 19:55Travis Kelce?

  Some good old fashioned AFC West division football, baby.

• 19:59Speaker 03

  You ain't lying.

• 19:59Travis Kelce?

  I think, um, I think the Chargers are a fucking hell of a goddamn football team. Harbaugh's got those guys playing their tail off, playing with a lot of heart.

• 20:07Speaker 03

  Chiefs with another one score win, another one that came down to a field goal. Yeah, let's, let's get right into the doink. So, um, new kicker.

• 20:16Travis Kelce?

  Matthew Wright from Lancaster, PA.

• 20:20Speaker 03

  Lancaster, PA? He's a PA guy.

• 20:22Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, he's right around there in Bird's Country. You know what?

• 20:27Travis Kelce?

  I don't think so, but he kinda has that.

• 20:29Speaker 03

  Pretty easy to tell.

• 20:31Travis Kelce?

  He looks like maybe one of them that, you know, just walked out of the barn and said, I'm good.

• 20:35Speaker 03

  Double doink. Well, not double doink. Doink in.

• 20:38Travis Kelce?

  Double doink. You're gonna go there? Matt Nagy? You're gonna go there? He fucking, that was a low blow, man.

• 20:44Speaker 03

  It's like Cody Parkey.

• 20:47Speaker 03

  All right, let's get to the last drive. Pat starts wheeling and dealing is the worthy throw. Dancing around, big third down conversion on the third and 10. Oh, we're gonna go into this. Look at this. We're gonna talk about some protections. Good job.

• 21:01Travis Kelce?

  Oh, yeah.

• 21:02Speaker 03

  And P. Ryan.

• 21:02Travis Kelce?

  Smaj came down the hill.

• 21:04Speaker 03

  We just talked about Derwin.

• 21:05Travis Kelce?

  Listen, Derwin, Derwin's not fucking around, man.

• 21:08Speaker 03

  No, no.

• 21:09Travis Kelce?

  When he blitzes, he's, he's taking the back straight on.

• 21:12Speaker 03

  I respect.

• 21:13Travis Kelce?

  He's, he's done that. He's done that to guys all year. And it's not that he got put on his tail, but I mean, that was a, that was a football.

• 21:19Speaker 03

  No, this is a, I respect the hell out of this. This is football right here.

• 21:23Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 21:23Speaker 03

  P. Ryan freaking, look at that.

• 21:25Travis Kelce?

  Throwing their bodies in there.

• 21:26Speaker 03

  Yeah. Pat steps to the left, drifts, hits worthy for the first down. I mean, that was the biggest play of the game potentially right there. Next to this one. There we go. We get a little boot action. Trav, it's been well recorded that you're supposed to keep running that corner route. You decide to sit.

• 21:42Travis Kelce?

  Well, recorded what?

• 21:43Speaker 03

  Just.

• 21:44Travis Kelce?

  What? Supposed to run a corner.

• 21:46Speaker 03

  Travis, everybody said you were supposed to run a corner.

• 21:48Travis Kelce?

  Who's everybody?

• 21:49Speaker 03

  Everybody that was, I think Pat said it. I'm pretty sure Pat said it.

• 21:54Speaker 03

  Fuck. No, but seriously, obviously you know, what makes you sit right here?

• 21:58Travis Kelce?

  I mean, corner over top.

• 22:00Speaker 03

  You know, the corner's not gonna be open.

• 22:02Travis Kelce?

  I mean, that corner, the, the corner, the corner is actually playing the flat. This is cover two. And there's, you gotta think of like the voids in cover two, like the, the voids are sidelines.

• 22:13Speaker 03

  Yeah, the whole shot in between the safety and the corner.

• 22:16Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, the whole shot in between the safety down the sideline. I felt like I couldn't beat that safety there.

• 22:21Speaker 03

  He had the leverage on you outside. Yeah.

• 22:22Travis Kelce?

  The angle like wasn't like a sheer catch.

• 22:26Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 22:26Travis Kelce?

  So I started to just kinda like turn my shoulders, uh, square it up to Pat and, um.

• 22:32Speaker 03

  Sure enough.

• 22:32Travis Kelce?

  And just kinda like felt that void, you know, I knew where the, uh, the hook to curl defender was. He was, he then like chased Pat because Pat would look like he was about to run.

• 22:41Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 22:41Travis Kelce?

  And I was just like, let me just kinda fill that void.

• 22:45Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 22:45Travis Kelce?

  Pat made an unbelievable play to. Keep the, keep it alive, making that first guy miss. And then sure enough, man, one, five is always going to find the open guy, man.

• 22:54Speaker 03

  Trav catches it kneeling, doesn't even try to get up, knows he's got the game one, just ball security. Don't do any, don't, don't drop the baby.

• 23:02Travis Kelce?

  Just hold on to that thing. I knew the hit was coming too. I was like, the safety's right behind me. When's it gonna, where is it at? Where's it at?

• 23:08Speaker 03

  Yep. You know, somebody's coming. And yeah, that sets up the game winning field goal attempt, which, you know, pretty close one. They're all hard though, when the game's on the line. And pulled a little Tim Duncan action, goes off the left, upright and in.

• 23:23Travis Kelce?

  Banks open on Sundays, baby.

• 23:24Speaker 03

  There we go, baby. Yeah. What does feel like?

• 23:26Travis Kelce?

  I'm a big fan of just scoring touchdowns, man, and forcing the other team to have to score touchdowns. But I understand not even giving them a chance. And, and it's a very high percentage field goal right there. I think we're sitting at like 20 yards, 30 yards or something like that.

• 23:42Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 23:42Travis Kelce?

  It is what it is. I'm, I'm always here for what the team's decision is. That's why I didn't even think about getting up. I knew the situation we were in and what we were going to want to do. Once we got the first down was to kick a field goal and run the clock out.

• 23:55Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 23:56Travis Kelce?

  So if that's what, that's what the game plan is, baby, I'm all in.

• 23:59Speaker 03

  Yeah. Well, we did find out that Andy is not a game winning field goal watcher. We have a clip of this.

• 24:05Travis Kelce?

  Oh.

• 24:05Speaker 03

  Do you know this? A little superstitious or just doesn't want to watch?

• 24:08Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. The crowd will tell him.

• 24:10Speaker 03

  Look at this. Wow. Yeah, baby. Yeah, baby.

• 24:14Travis Kelce?

  Oh, man. You're my guy for Checo back out there rolling downhill, man. Him and Big Red having a fucking good time after this one. Division game, man. Division on the line. Won the division for the what's whatever year against a, a really fucking good Chargers team. You can't tell me that Justin Herbert isn't one of the best fucking quarterbacks in the National Football League, man.

• 24:35Speaker 03

  Dude, he's balling this year. He's had some games. He can sling that pill.

• 24:38Travis Kelce?

  I mean, he's balling every year.

• 24:40Speaker 03

  It feels like with Harbaugh getting there, it feels like some of that swagger is back with that team.

• 24:45Travis Kelce?

  You know, the, the leaders in that, on that team, the coaches coming in, Coach Minter, Coach, Coach Elston, our guys, our guys.

• 24:54Speaker 03

  Elston's there too. Rick, Rick was with me in Philadelphia.

• 24:58Travis Kelce?

  Was he really?

• 24:59Speaker 03

  Jesse's dad, yeah.

• 25:00Travis Kelce?

  Nice. I didn't know that.

• 25:02Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 25:02Travis Kelce?

  He's a fellow Bearcat head coach as well.

• 25:05Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 25:06Travis Kelce?

  But yeah, they, they, they got that thing figured out right now. They're playing really, really good football, man. And they played us, played us pretty goddamn tough both times we, we got them.

• 25:15Speaker 03

  Absolutely. Definitely. Pat had some post game quotes. I truly believe we are close, closer than we were last year at this point. I would agree with that. I think it's a very good statement by Pat. I think at this point last year, it was, you guys had just lost to us. And it was looking kind of down for the Chiefs and you guys got it going. I kind of think it is looking better. I think offensively.

• 25:39Travis Kelce?

  At this point last year, it was, we didn't even know that it was going to get worse. We, we, you know, it's, it, it went all the way through Christmas and we, we were lucky. We had two games after Christmas to be able to figure it out. But it was a different situation.

• 25:53Speaker 03

  I just think you guys have a good roster. You guys, I, I think that, I'll be honest, I, and we've talked about it a little bit. I think the protections have been a thing that have thrown off the offense a little bit. I thought the protections were a lot better yesterday. Humphries looked good. I don't know what his hamstring looks like, but he did a good job at left tackle last, uh, this last game.

• 26:12Travis Kelce?

  He's came in the building and been a fucking all-star professional, man. He's just been the, just a high energy guy, loves what he does, comes in, shows how much he loves this game and how much he appreciates being in the, being in the, uh, in the situation to play football. I just love the guy for, for that mentality and his, uh, his hard work, man. Um, it's, it sucks that the first game he gets in, man, he gets the hamstring.

• 26:36Speaker 03

  He'll be back. He'll be back regardless, even if he's back this week or whenever. I think that's going to help out a lot of things because it felt like that's been something that's thrown off the timing and rhythm a little bit. And that'll, that'll help Pat out. It'll help everything out. I do want to say this though. Pat is nearly unstoppable. It, it is so crazy watching him in two minute situations. Before the half, you guys go and get a touchdown and a game when you need to get a drive together. He somehow finds a way to convert and move the ball down so that you guys are in field goal range. Why are you guys just not always a two point, just run two point offense? Like, what are we even doing running the rest of the offense? Just let Pat go do two minute? Like, I don't even know why we're wasting time.

• 27:09Travis Kelce?

  A little up tempo. It does, you know what up tempo does.

• 27:12Speaker 03

  Just be two minute, not even, you can even huddle. Just huddle, just go do two minute. Just tell Pat before every drive, Pat, hey, we got two minutes left. The thing is, we just started the game.

• 27:22Travis Kelce?

  All that sounds good. All that sounds good until, you know, the thing is, is when you go two minute, it's typically a little bit more basic plays, right? It's kind of like set plays. The defense is running very simple defenses and it kind of simplifies everything from what you're seeing.

• 27:41Speaker 03

  For sure.

• 27:42Travis Kelce?

  I can find voids easier. I can, you know, I see what the defense is in before the snap because they, they can't dick around at the line of scrimmage or give us a crazy look at the line of scrimmage while we're in two minute.

• 27:52Speaker 03

  Right, yeah.

• 27:53Travis Kelce?

  So it's just, it definitely makes the game easier, but at the same time, you can't do that shit all game. That shit will get fucking stopped in a heartbeat if you do that shit all game.

• 28:01Speaker 03

  I don't know. I haven't seen anybody stop Pat yet. It might be worth trying. I'm just saying. Just let that go out there being point guard.

• 28:08Travis Kelce?

  You ain't lying, man. Patty Mahomes, baby.

• 28:11Speaker 03

  The big Yeti got another milestone. Travis Kelce became the fastest tight end in NFL history. 172 games to reach 12,000 career receiving yards. Previous record was held by none other than Tony Gonzalez in 210 games. LeBron started a real.

• 28:27Travis Kelce?

  Damn. He played 210 games?

• 28:31Speaker 03

  Well, he got, he played more than that. It took him 210 games to get the 12,000.

• 28:36Travis Kelce?

  Dude.

• 28:37Speaker 03

  Career receiving yards. He ended with 15,000.

• 28:40Travis Kelce?

  I don't even know if I could.

• 28:40Speaker 03

  So he played a lot of games. Tony played a lot of games.

• 28:43Travis Kelce?

  That's, it's almost 40 more games. I don't know if I can play 40 more.

• 28:49Speaker 03

  Well, I mean, listen, that's a lot more games.

• 28:52Travis Kelce?

  Fuck.

• 28:53Speaker 03

  Again, Tony played more than 210. Tony played, I mean, he got 15,000.

• 28:57Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, that was, yeah, that's insane.

• 28:59Speaker 03

  Tony's longevity is insane.

• 29:02Travis Kelce?

  How did he fucking do it? God damn.

• 29:06Speaker 03

  I remember he had like some type of protein that I used to take. Maybe that was it. And he was into spearfishing. Maybe he was harnessing the power of the sun.

• 29:14Travis Kelce?

  I think he was, there you go.

• 29:15Speaker 03

  270.

• 29:16Travis Kelce?

  One with the call.

• 29:17Speaker 03

  So many games.

• 29:18Travis Kelce?

  That's, it's crazy. How many, how many did he play altogether? Can we get that thrown up there?

• 29:23Speaker 03

  It says right here, played 270 regular season games.

• 29:27Travis Kelce?

  He played a whole hundred more than what I'm at right now.

• 29:31Speaker 03

  It's outrageous.

• 29:33Travis Kelce?

  It's you. Oh, my gosh. No fucking chance.

• 29:36Speaker 03

  Built different. I mean, that's so impressive.

• 29:38Travis Kelce?

  Dude, he got, I'm pretty sure he got into the league before he was 21. And then on top of that, he played until he was 36, 37?

• 29:46Speaker 03

  Oh, he played longer than 36, 37.

• 29:48Travis Kelce?

  Um, I don't know, man. I'm pretty sure it was only like 17 years. Yeah. Insane is what he did.

• 29:54Speaker 03

  He, he's 48 now.

• 29:59Travis Kelce?

  Why? Why did we need to know that?

• 30:02Speaker 03

  Trying to do some math. When did he retire?

• 30:06Travis Kelce?

  You could just.

• 30:07Speaker 03

  Retired with the Falcons. When like.

• 30:10Travis Kelce?

  Right before they went to the.

• 30:11Speaker 03

  You're probably right. About 38 years old, right? 37, 38?

• 30:15Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 30:15Speaker 03

  13, 11 years. Yeah, you're, you're 1000% right. I'll stop talking. Um. Either way, unbelievably impressive. The Chiefs have now won the AFC West for nine straight seasons.

• 30:29Travis Kelce?

  The I did before we move on. I, it's so funny being on this list, on these lists with Tony, because it, every single time I, it puts in perspective what he actually did when he was in the National Football League.

• 30:42Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 30:42Travis Kelce?

  And it's fuck, it'll never be touched.

• 30:45Speaker 03

  It's a much different league too.

• 30:47Travis Kelce?

  There's no way. There's no way. It's like, it's, it's so fucking mind blowing that he did that. And back when football was football.

• 30:58Speaker 03

  I mean, he did it.

• 30:58Travis Kelce?

  You could literally get your head taken off.

• 31:00Speaker 03

  He played that long in a league where there was two a days during training camp. The, you know, the, the hitting, they would take your head off as a safety. I remember the Dawkins clip on Algie Crumpler.

• 31:11Travis Kelce?

  Dude, what? That was legal. Crackbacks? You better be, that is check. You can do that.

• 31:19Speaker 03

  They used to actually teach you head on a swivel. I don't even think they teach head on a swivel anymore. Cause it doesn't matter. You don't even need to have a head on a swivel. There's no repercussions.

• 31:26Travis Kelce?

  Nope. If you get, that's.

• 31:27Speaker 03

  Just run around aimlessly.

• 31:29Travis Kelce?

  It's a penalty and a fine and a hefty fine at that. Back when they were just in AstroTurf, which is just a carpet rolled over fucking cement.

• 31:38Speaker 03

  You remember playing on Lakewood High School?

• 31:40Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 31:41Speaker 03

  That had the Astro. That was outrageous.

• 31:43Travis Kelce?

  The worst.

• 31:44Speaker 03

  These guys played whole NFL careers.

• 31:46Travis Kelce?

  Everybody to bring gym shoes instead of cleats. Dude, yeah, you have to bring basketball shoes.

• 31:51Speaker 03

  Now, have you ever run on your carpet in your living room? That's exactly what this is.

• 31:57Travis Kelce?

  Baseball diamonds. Everybody had a joint stadium with the baseball teams.

• 32:01Speaker 03

  You're talking about the vet.

• 32:03Travis Kelce?

  Absolutely insane, man. Football was crazy back in the day.

• 32:06Speaker 03

  Yeah, well, it's still pretty crazy. You know what else is crazy is the Chiefs have won the AFC West nine straight seasons.

• 32:12Travis Kelce?

  Yes, sir.

• 32:13Speaker 03

  This is outrageous. I mean, talk about domination. Sorry to the rest of the AFC West, but this is unbelievable. The last time Kansas City didn't win the division, Patrick Holmes was still playing college baseball.

• 32:26Travis Kelce?

  It's pretty funny. That's a great fucking stat.

• 32:28Speaker 03

  That's a LeBron stat if I've ever heard.

• 32:29Travis Kelce?

  That's funny as hell. Nice. That's we're talking about perspective.

• 32:33Speaker 03

  Week 15 Travis is headed back to the 216. That's right. They take on the Browns.

• 32:38Travis Kelce?

  Yes, sir.

• 32:39Speaker 03

  And potentially the greatest soundbite quarterback of all time, James Winston. You excited for the homecoming?

• 32:46Travis Kelce?

  I am, man. I am, man. You know, we're Cleveland guys to to Harden, to the core. So it's I've I played there once and I am so excited to be able to get back there. It was a it was a dream come true playing in front of Cleveland.

• 32:59Speaker 03

  You've only played there once?

• 33:01Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, man. I've only been I've only been back when it was first energy.

• 33:05Speaker 03

  Dude, I went to that game. Somehow I was able to go to that game. Kareem Hunt was his first year with the Browns. He had just been with the Browns.

• 33:14Travis Kelce?

  No, no, no, no.

• 33:14Speaker 03

  You guys still?

• 33:15Travis Kelce?

  Kareem Hunt had like.

• 33:16Speaker 03

  Double comeback to Cleveland.

• 33:17Travis Kelce?

  Kareem had three touchdowns and I had two.

• 33:20Speaker 03

  Got it. Yep.

• 33:21Travis Kelce?

  It was a it was a Cleveland kid type of day.

• 33:24Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 33:25Travis Kelce?

  But yeah, there was a it was it was a dream come true to score in the end zone and be right there in front of the dog pound. A little different catching some some birds, some uh.

• 33:35Speaker 03

  Yeah, well.

• 33:36Travis Kelce?

  Some middle fingers and some boos and some some barks from the enemy side of perspective, but I still love Cleveland for it, man. And it's such an honor playing back in Cleveland and it's a it's gonna be a it's gonna be a fun day, man. It's gonna be a fun day and hopefully we can go in there and get into a dogfight with the the dog pound and have some fun, man.

• 33:57Speaker 03

  Well, interim Brandon's gonna be in attendance. Does that add any additional pressure to this game?

• 34:03Travis Kelce?

  Hmm, no. Love Brandon, though. Thanks for coming, man.

• 34:07Speaker 03

  That's cool. What is, why are you gonna be in Cleveland, Brandon?

• 34:09Speaker 05

  Why not? Why do you sound like that?

• 34:11Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, why would you say it like that?

• 34:12Speaker 05

  Yeah, why, why wouldn't I be in Cleveland? A beautiful December in Cleveland.

• 34:16Travis Kelce?

  Are you kidding me?

• 34:17Speaker 05

  Can we stop? You see how fast I flipped that on you, Jason? Can we stop with this? Just judo'd you. Just fucking put you in a blender.

• 34:24Speaker 03

  Can we, can we explain why we're actually gonna be in Cleveland now?

• 34:28Speaker 05

  A friend of a friend has a connection to the Browns and was like, do you just wanna go to the Browns game? I was like, sure, fine. I'll do thirty-six hours in Cleveland.

• 34:34Speaker 03

  There you go. Where are you staying? No, just neighborhood, neighborhood.

• 34:37Speaker 05

  Yeah, uh, we're staying close to the stadium. We're staying close to the stadium.

• 34:40Speaker 03

  So you're gonna stay downtown?

• 34:41Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 34:42Travis Kelce?

  Downtown.

• 34:44Speaker 05

  Yeah, yeah, yeah. What should I do? What should I do? I have thirty-six hours.

• 34:48Travis Kelce?

  Dude, check out the art museum.

• 34:49Speaker 03

  Ohio City.

• 34:50Travis Kelce?

  Ohio City. Check out the art museum.

• 34:53Speaker 05

  Art museum?

• 34:53Travis Kelce?

  Uh, a great natural history museum, actually.

• 34:56Speaker 03

  Ooh, really good, really good. Rock and roll history museum, yeah.

• 34:58Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, uh, the science museum is downtown to this. It's like the, uh, the rock and roll museum is phenomenal. There've been a lot of museums.

• 35:06Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 35:07Speaker 03

  Big time museum.

• 35:08Speaker 05

  Museum tour.

• 35:08Travis Kelce?

  Big museum.

• 35:09Speaker 05

  Big museum, people. Alright, I'll do a museum tour. I'll report back next week.

• 35:13Travis Kelce?

  Nice.

• 35:14Speaker 03

  Ooh, this is a fun time of year because Great Lakes has come out with their Christmas ale. Make sure you go to a restaurant that is serving Great Lakes Christmas. It's a very Ohio thing. They put like, this like spice thing on the rim. You're gonna enjoy it. It's very good. Highly recommend.

• 35:31Travis Kelce?

  Go over there to Ohio, uh, Ohio City.

• 35:33Speaker 03

  You actually just go to the brewery. They do it at the brewery.

• 35:34Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 35:35Speaker 05

  Just go to the brewery.

• 35:36Speaker 03

  It'll definitely be there.

• 35:38Speaker 05

  Just go to the source, get underneath the tab, you'll be fine.

• 35:40Speaker 03

  It'll definitely be there, but I'm a big fan of the Christmas ale.

• 35:44Travis Kelce?

  You can also always hit a, uh, Town Hall right next door. One of my favorite spots in Cleveland.

• 35:49Speaker 05

  Ooh, okay. Great Lakes Town Hall. Alright, I'll be there. I'll have a bunch of those and I'm gonna go jump in the dog pound.

• 35:55Speaker 03

  Go check it out. I would say, there's so many places that.

• 35:58Speaker 05

  Jason, just come. Just show up. You show up everywhere. Just drive your little helmet car over and just show up.

• 36:02Speaker 03

  I mean, I am. I was gonna spend maybe some days with my kids this week, but.

• 36:06Speaker 05

  You know what? Fuck it, I'll go.

• 36:07Speaker 03

  They got, they have so much time. You have so, like, you have so much time with that. Jesus.

• 36:13Travis Kelce?

  Delivery on that line is so good.

• 36:16Speaker 05

  Just show up, you'll be alright.

• 36:18Speaker 03

  God, I'm gonna be like, are you fucking kidding me?

• 36:23Travis Kelce?

  All right, let's get to some Eagles Panthers, man. The birds are flying around, man. Initial thoughts on the game, Jason?

• 36:29Speaker 03

  Well, they got to nine straight. It was not the cleanest game for the Eagles, but they found a way to win. And I think that, you know, right now they're, listen, they've been playing so good and the like, level has been so high of like everybody's excitement for this team.

• 36:47Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 36:47Speaker 03

  I actually think it's really good that this game was close and they got brought back down to earth. The Panthers, the Panthers have been doing this to a lot of teams recently. Bryce Young is playing a lot better, made a hell of a lot of plays scrambling and making plays down the field.

• 36:59Travis Kelce?

  Oh, I know.

• 37:00Speaker 03

  They've been playing teams close, including, you know, one of the teams in the AFC West.

• 37:07Speaker 03

  So I think this is all in all, obviously happy the Eagles got a win. And I think that they'll get out of this game and they got nine straight. Yeah. I mean, it's hard to win football games. Right now they're sitting at 11 and two. So it was, it was a lot of fun. It's also fun to actually go to a game. I haven't been to a game really that many this year.

• 37:24Travis Kelce?

  Oh, nice. You went to it.

• 37:25Speaker 03

  Yeah, we went to it. We took the kids.

• 37:28Travis Kelce?

  What?

• 37:29Speaker 03

  I know, dude. It was awesome. It was awesome.

• 37:31Travis Kelce?

  How was, uh, how were the girls at the games? They enjoy them?

• 37:34Speaker 03

  They were great. They didn't give one crap about the football game, but they had a blast eating a bunch of food and popcorn and running around all over the place like crazed lunatics. So yeah, it was, it was really cool.

• 37:46Travis Kelce?

  What is this text?

• 37:47Speaker 03

  Yeah, we were on a group chat text, me, Jake and Brandon. Yeah, this is on the legget, uh, looked like he caught it and rolled into the end zone, uh, on their last, you know, drive.

• 37:58Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 37:59Speaker 03

  And, uh, yeah, I think everybody in the stadium before you saw the replay thought it was a touchdown because he came up with it pretty clean. And, um, Jake said, uh, this.

• 38:09Travis Kelce?

  Holy shit, that was close. You replied with, uh, butthole puckered up a bit, huh?

• 38:14Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 38:14Travis Kelce?

  You gotta have a loose caboose, man. You can't let that, you gotta keep your composure. You can't, can't pucker up.

• 38:20Speaker 03

  Listen, I don't play anymore. So now I just sit there and my butthole puckers because I have zero control. If I have control, I'd have a loose butthole, but because I don't have control, my butthole gets tight.

• 38:32Speaker 03

  This way it works.

• 38:33Travis Kelce?

  Well played. Biggest story coming out of the Eagles game are unfortunately comments from AJ Brown.

• 38:39Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 38:40Travis Kelce?

  When asked about the issues facing the offense, he simply said, passing. He thinks passing is, uh, is the issue. Also admitted that it's incredibly tough for the receivers to get into a rhythm when the offense is only passing the ball 20 times a game.

• 38:56Speaker 03

  Succinct.

• 38:56Travis Kelce?

  Well, AJ, I don't know if you know this, but, uh, Saquon Barkley is arguably the MVP in the NFL. Handing him the ball a lot is kind of like a really good thing.

• 39:09Speaker 03

  It is. Yeah. No, it works out.

• 39:10Travis Kelce?

  I understand. You're really good too. And, uh, getting you the ball a lot is a really good thing.

• 39:16Speaker 03

  Yeah. I mean, I personally, I just think, you know, listen, he's frustrated after a game, right?

• 39:20Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 39:21Speaker 03

  They barely beat a team that they know they should have performed better. There's been a lot of stuff made about this, uh, comment from AJ. A lot of stuff made about Jalen's comment about like offense and like synchronization and whatnot. And ultimately I just think it's two guys that are frustrated after a game in which they didn't meet the standard that they hold for themselves. And they know the offense doesn't meet the standard that it holds for itself. And unfortunately we live in a day and age, and we both know this very well, where things that you say,

• 39:53Speaker 03

  you know, I don't know how long AJ has sat there and talked to reporters, but it's probably like 10 minutes, I bet. And this is the only thing that really trends, right? All the other stuff that gets said doesn't.

• 40:03Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 40:03Speaker 03

  The reality is when you're frustrated after a game, sometimes you, you know, you, you're, you're, you're answering things in a heated moment. And I know I've been there. I know everybody I've damn near played with has been there. And you know, this is what happens when you have highly competitive individuals that know that they can be contributing more or know that the offense can be better than it is, or that the team can be better than it is. There's also BG had some comments. I know A.J. Brown is a tremendous teammate and a guy that I loved being on the same team with. He's a guy that's highly competitive and wants to win and have an impact on the game. And I think that that's what you want in a star receiver or a player in general of that caliber.

• 40:45Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 40:46Speaker 03

  I know Jalen Hurts operates in a very similar fashion. They've also played a lot of ball together. They played a lot of ball in the NFL. Nick Sirianni is a great coach. Kellen Moore has done a phenomenal job with the offense. These are things that happen. There was, you know, there was somebody saying like, I think one of Jalen's comments was like, should you be still figuring this out? Week 13 in the NFL? And he said, no. And I understand why he said that because like, you know, you're, you're, you're almost to the playoffs. We should be getting, have everything dialed in. But the reality is you're always figuring this out. This is the way the league works. Like you're even, no matter where you're at, you're constantly trying to iron things out, make things better. That's the only way you become one of the best teams in the NFL.

• 41:26Travis Kelce?

  That's the only way.

• 41:27Speaker 03

  Yeah. Is by the continually going through that process.

• 41:29Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 41:30Speaker 03

  Like you just said, this team has an identity right now. And that identity has been running the ball with Saquon Barkley and exposing the secondary when they commit to stopping that run. And they have all of those pieces able to do that. I understand that balance is going to help. That's just the reality. I think as an offense, you want to have balance. But I really like where the identity has been. For the most part, it's been really good and has led to them beating, I mean, they just beat the Ravens. Right? One of the best teams in the NFL in Baltimore. I know they're frustrated with this game, but let's not lose sight. The defense is playing lights out. We're one of the best teams in the NFC and all of these guys are really, really good.

• 42:15Speaker 03

  I tend to think that these comments and all this media stuff is only going to bring these guys closer together. That's where I look at it. I, when stuff like this happens, I think that these guys are going to be galvanized because they realize how good they are. Kellen Moore and all these guys are going to keep growing this offense to be the best dialed in machine it can be by the postseason. And, you know, I've, I'm very excited for where all this stuff is headed.

• 42:40Travis Kelce?

  Unbelievable talent.

• 42:42Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 42:42Travis Kelce?

  On that football team, especially on the offensive side, only one football, bub. You only got one ball to get a, get it around. And whether you're running it, you're throwing it, it's a, it's going to one guy.

• 42:53Speaker 03

  Unless you're lateral, then it goes to two guys.

• 42:55Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 43:01Travis Kelce?

  That's why I lateral.

• 43:03Speaker 03

  Spread the ball, spread the well.

• 43:05Travis Kelce?

  Love, man. You gotta spread the love, man.

• 43:07Speaker 03

  We gotta get Saquon lateral into AJ. Get this thing going.

• 43:09Travis Kelce?

  Get this thing going. Siri, honey, let's go, baby.

• 43:13Speaker 03

  Anyways, my man Grant Calcaterra caught his first touchdown pass in the NFL this week. Dude, I, so not only was his video of his family going nuts, it kinda went viral. Here we go. Check him out. Check him out.

• 43:30Travis Kelce?

  Nice. Nice.

• 43:39Speaker 03

  Well, it looks just like him, so that would add up.

• 43:40Travis Kelce?

  I was about to say, uh, yep. Were they watching this again in the, uh, in the bar after the game? I thought that was him.

• 43:48Speaker 03

  Not only were these guys going nuts on the, uh, video, but I, uh, went down on the field afterwards and saw he had a bunch of family that was there. His dad was there, his mom was there.

• 43:56Travis Kelce?

  Nice.

• 43:57Speaker 03

  And everybody was fired up about Grant getting his first touchdown pass. This is one of the guys too, that like the whole team gets fired up about when they get their first touch, like Dallas got us out. Grant's actually had a, a number of like big seam catches. He's, he's having a really good year for the Eagles, um, especially as a pass catcher. And he's been a guy that's always gone in there and done the dirty work over the last couple of years, doing slice blocks, running counters, like doing all the stuff that like no other tight end wants to do. And whenever a guy like that, uh, gets rewarded and all of a sudden it start is catching a touchdown pass, I think that that's something that everybody gets fired up about.

• 44:31Travis Kelce?

  Fires you up, baby. Hell yeah.

• 44:32Speaker 03

  Including his, uh, football family, not just his regular family. So.

• 44:36Travis Kelce?

  Nice.

• 44:36Speaker 03

  Congrats, Grant. Yeah, it was awesome.

• 44:38Travis Kelce?

  Hopefully the first and many for you, brother.

• 44:40Speaker 03

  Yeah, baby.

• 44:41Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. Next week, the Eagles are hosting Mr. Unlimited Russell Wilson and the Steelers. Uh, probably, probably worth noting that the last time the Eagles played the Steelers, AJ Brown had six catches for 156 yards and, uh, scored three touchdowns. So, um, yeah. Maybe it's time to go back.

• 44:59Speaker 03

  Maybe we should pass the ball. Maybe.

• 45:01Travis Kelce?

  Time to go back to throwing that thing.

• 45:03Speaker 03

  That's what AJ, he just knew we were playing the Steelers next week. So he's like, all right, I'm gonna, I'm gonna put this out there.

• 45:07Travis Kelce?

  Set this shit up right now.

• 45:08Speaker 03

  I'm gonna put this out there right now. We need to work on passing.

• 45:11Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 45:13Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, I like that.

• 45:14Speaker 03

  We did a voicemail question about the Steelers that we are going to answer. Are we doing that now? Or is that is this happening in voice?

• 45:22Travis Kelce?

  We're doing it now.

• 45:23Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 45:24Speaker 06

  Hey, fellows. This is Patrick from Pittsburgh. Longtime listener, first time caller. Two quick questions. First one is more so for Travis. Travis, as the greatest tight end to ever play the game, what is your honest opinion of Pat Frymuth? Second, what is it like to be standing on the field at Akershore Stadium in the fourth quarter whenever they play Renegade?

• 45:47Speaker 03

  Oh.

• 45:47Speaker 06

  Talk to you guys later. Bye.

• 45:49Travis Kelce?

  Dude.

• 45:49Speaker 03

  There we go. So first of all, it's Heinz Field. I'll never not call it Heinz Field. I'm not.

• 45:54Travis Kelce?

  Forever be Heinz Field.

• 45:55Speaker 03

  With this nonsense. You only get one stadium name when it first comes out that I'm sticking to it. I'm over the corporate naming, renaming. It's over. It's Heinz Field.

• 46:04Travis Kelce?

  You don't like Arrowhead at GEHA Stadium?

• 46:06Speaker 03

  Just like I don't care who pays for Jacobs Field's name. It's Jacobs Field. I don't give a fuck what you call that thing.

• 46:11Travis Kelce?

  Progressive, but yeah.

• 46:12Speaker 03

  No, it's not. It's Jacobs Field.

• 46:15Speaker 03

  That's where, dude, that's where Arrowhead gets it right. Cause it's always the G Ha at Arrowhead. So Arrowhead always remains the same name. I can't deal with this like, I'm not, whatever, G Ha, G Ha. I'm not doing, I'm not doing it. I'm not, I'm not re, like, you can't.

• 46:35Travis Kelce?

  Heinz Field is a fucking special.

• 46:39Speaker 03

  They had the tomato ketchup bottle going down. Like, what are we talking about?

• 46:43Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, so good. It is such a special place to play, man. And I'm pumped I get to play on Christmas out there, man.

• 46:49Speaker 03

  So anyways, listen, as my professional, you know, 13 year career and, and nothing to do with tight end play, I think Pat Frymuth is a hell of a tight end. I think he's doing a tremendous job.

• 47:01Travis Kelce?

  Nice. He asked me that question.

• 47:03Speaker 03

  He needs to work on his, he needs to work on his footwork a little bit.

• 47:06Travis Kelce?

  Shut the fuck up. He is not clumsy footed at all.

• 47:09Speaker 03

  Sometimes, sometimes.

• 47:11Travis Kelce?

  Why are you taking shots at Pat now?

• 47:12Speaker 03

  Sometimes when I watch him play, he looks like a Friar South. He looks like a Friar South, not a Friar Muth. I don't even know where the fuck I'm going with this. All right, you take it. Go ahead, Chris.

• 47:22Travis Kelce?

  I see you, Travis. You're trying to have some fun with them. No, Pat is actually, he's one of my favorite Titans to watch, man. He's um, he's savvy in his route running. He's very, he's very like tight or quarterback friendly, which he knows angles coming out to where he knows he can get a guaranteed catch and quarterbacks fucking love it. When you you come out of your breaks and with certain angles, uh, depending on where the defender closest to you is.

• 47:44Speaker 03

  You come out at an angle specific to the leverage of the defender, not just running the route that's on the paper.

• 47:51Travis Kelce?

  Exactly. And uh, and he does a great job of uh, feeling voids like that and feeling how how he needs to get in and out of breaks. And then on top of that, he's just a tough football player, man. I think he embodies the the Steeler kind of way to play, which is like, it's that steel curtain, that that toughness that you gotta play with, man. He's willing to, you know, uh, stick his face in the fan and do whatever he needs to do for his team, man. I think he uh, yeah, the Pittsburgh like toughness, like when I think of Pittsburgh Titans, I think of like Heath Miller.

• 48:18Speaker 03

  Oh, yeah, Heath.

• 48:21Travis Kelce?

  And when he used to catch the ball, he would just

• 48:24Travis Kelce?

  and be him and Big Ben were always on the same fucking page. They would fuck, they would just like in the middle of a run, he'd just give like, Miller a fucking wink and he'd just run like a little seam route and he just

• 48:36Travis Kelce?

  quick 10 yards, just fucking truck everybody. Now, don't get me wrong, they're two completely different players, but they do have that same Pittsburgh toughness, but um, yeah.

• 48:46Speaker 03

  What is it about those those like tough fanbases?

• 48:48Travis Kelce?

  Brave future, brave future.

• 48:50Speaker 03

  What what is it about those fanbases that really love tight ends? I think you're on to something because when I think, I thought of the same thing with everything you were just saying, I thought of Heath Miller. Like when I think of Pittsburgh, I think about Titans. I think it's honestly, when I think about the Eagles, I think of Titans. I certainly think about Titans with Kansas City.

• 49:05Travis Kelce?

  Who's your, who's your, who's your, who's your favorite Eagles tight end?

• 49:07Speaker 03

  My favorite Eagles tight end? Don't make me do this. Don't make me do this.

• 49:12Travis Kelce?

  Come on.

• 49:12Speaker 03

  I'm not doing this because I got too many buddies. I got close friends. I can't pick one or the other.

• 49:17Travis Kelce?

  All right, all right, all right. Mine's Eckers, but I do love, uh, I do love Dallas.

• 49:22Speaker 03

  I can't wait to tell Selig you just said that.

• 49:25Speaker 03

  He's gonna be so pissed at you.

• 49:26Travis Kelce?

  Chad Lewis is another favorite of mine.

• 49:28Speaker 03

  Chad Lewis, I should have just gone pre my teammate years in, you know, yeah.

• 49:34Travis Kelce?

  So many good ones, man. So many good ones. Celsi, come on. We already know he's at the top of the list. Yeah, I think, uh, I think the second part of the question, I don't even remember answering. Oh, the Renegade.

• 49:44Speaker 03

  Running.

• 49:45Travis Kelce?

  That is.

• 49:46Speaker 03

  Mama, I'm in fear.

• 49:47Travis Kelce?

  It's fucking electric.

• 49:48Speaker 03

  From the long time of the Lord.

• 49:52Travis Kelce?

  If you're, if it's a really close game, you feel that like tension build in the stadium.

• 49:57Speaker 03

  It's pretty dope.

• 49:58Travis Kelce?

  If it's the other way around, then you don't really feel it like that.

• 50:01Speaker 03

  Yeah, but usually.

• 50:02Travis Kelce?

  Steelers are in it.

• 50:03Speaker 03

  Their defense is really good. So usually it is close. So usually you feel it a lot.

• 50:07Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 50:07Speaker 03

  And the whole stadium gets into it. This is another thing that Ryan Clark pointed out to me when we were there. Everybody wears like their team's jerseys, but it feels like Pittsburgh is like even like that on a thousand. Like, I don't think anybody goes to that game without wearing an actual Pittsburgh Steelers jersey. They all wear the jerseys throughout the day in the city. Like it's.

• 50:28Travis Kelce?

  Arrowhead's very, I mean, I see a lot of jerseys in there.

• 50:31Speaker 03

  Pretty crazy, um, the amount of Steelers fans that were in legitimate jerseys at the game. I think that's something that they, that's like a thing. I mean, every fan base wears jerseys, but a lot of jerseys in Pittsburgh. So especially when Renegade's going.

• 50:44Travis Kelce?

  I don't know what it is about. I just, I think it was growing up wearing black and gold and.

• 50:50Speaker 03

  It's a dope color. I mean, that's Cleveland Heights.

• 50:52Travis Kelce?

  I just.

• 50:53Speaker 03

  Gold has always been a favorite.

• 50:54Travis Kelce?

  Recognize it more. I don't know what it is. I don't know if everybody's.

• 50:58Speaker 03

  Good color combination. Black and gold is just a good color combo.

• 51:01Travis Kelce?

  It's so good. It's so good. And then you add that, that cool fucking old school Steelers logo in there. Like so iconic.

• 51:09Speaker 03

  What's, what are the, what are your favorite color combos of, of teams? My like black and gold is one of them. I'll say this, I love, I've always loved the color green, not just because I'm an Eagles fan. I just love the color green.

• 51:21Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 51:22Speaker 03

  One of my favorite color combos, I don't have anything to do with the team. Oakland A's, the green and yellow is just a, it is a awesome.

• 51:30Travis Kelce?

  Dude.

• 51:30Speaker 03

  Like, I know, I mean, Green Bay Packers, but I, for some reason that Oakland.

• 51:35Travis Kelce?

  For whatever reason, it's.

• 51:36Speaker 03

  Hat, it just like stands out as like one of the coolest. Yeah, it's just a dope hat.

• 51:41Travis Kelce?

  They're the Sacramento A's now.

• 51:43Speaker 03

  I think of the same thing with the, the Supersonics.

• 51:45Travis Kelce?

  Be the Vegas A's.

• 51:47Speaker 03

  Oh, they're they're moving now too.

• 51:48Travis Kelce?

  Oh, yeah, they're out of there.

• 51:49Speaker 03

  Everybody's leaving Oakland for Vegas.

• 51:51Travis Kelce?

  It's unfortunate, man. Oakland's a it's a beautiful sports town.

• 51:55Speaker 03

  Yeah, I maybe it is just green and yellow because I thought of the supersonics jerseys and like stuff like those are some dynamite freaking.

• 52:03Travis Kelce?

  I think they're trying to bring a team back to the NBA team back to Seattle, too.

• 52:07Speaker 03

  What's what's another? What are your favorites?

• 52:09Travis Kelce?

  My favorites? Um, I'm an old school Cavs and 90s Cavs.

• 52:14Speaker 03

  I knew you were gonna go there. You're talking now, are you talking about blue and orange? Are you talking about? I kind of like the blue and black.

• 52:22Travis Kelce?

  I like the splash, the splash jerseys, the one where it looked like they had paint going across their jerseys.

• 52:28Speaker 03

  I got you.

• 52:29Travis Kelce?

  You know what I mean? Like that very end of the Mark Price years, the the Sean Kemp years, the 96, 97, 98.

• 52:36Speaker 03

  They had the blue and black on that on those ones. Those are my favorite, too. I think I'm with you.

• 52:40Travis Kelce?

  I love those ones.

• 52:41Speaker 03

  There's something about blue and black where it kind of clashes, but it works.

• 52:44Travis Kelce?

  And then then the hint of that orange in it has that orange in there.

• 52:48Speaker 03

  I'm a big orange guy, too. Is that because of the Browns? Are we just subliminally been affected our whole lives?

• 52:53Travis Kelce?

  We have.

• 52:54Speaker 03

  That was one thing like. I like Broncos jerseys because I like brown. I like the color orange. I just like oranges.

• 53:02Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 53:03Speaker 03

  Like Orioles. Orioles have a good color combo because I like the orange. I don't know what it is.

• 53:07Travis Kelce?

  Another goddamn good one right there.

• 53:09Speaker 03

  I think I just like it been like the Pirates are black and gold. This is all just comes back to our childhood.

• 53:15Travis Kelce?

  Penguins, yeah.

• 53:16Speaker 03

  Does everybody else feel this way or is it just us?

• 53:19Travis Kelce?

  I don't know. Talk to us 92 percenters. Um, and that does it for uh. For catching up with the Eagles and Panthers. Shout out to the Eagles for finding a way to get a win against a sneaky good team. And uh, thank you for your voicemail, man. Um, I'll be excited to hear Renegade in the fourth quarter on Christmas.

• 53:37Speaker 03

  Alrighty, let's hit a little bit more from the biggest stories from week 14 in the NFL, starting.

• 53:44Travis Kelce?

  Going on this week.

• 53:45Speaker 03

  Yeah, starting with the gambling Dan Campbell. A lot of talk about Dan Campbell declining to kick and keeping his offense on the field. On fourth and one up three at the Green Bay 21, um, with 43 seconds left. I don't, I mean, listen, fourth and one, you go for it. I'm I'm a thousand percent in on Dan. And they're starting to see this. We're gonna get to the Rams game, but they did on fourth and five. They were like, yeah, we can't give Josh Allen the ball back. And I think that. You know, Dan's been criticized a little bit about those fourth down decisions last year in the playoffs, but this gambling Dan Campbell, man, that's why he has been where he's been. These Lions win a lot of games because of these decisions of being aggressive and because they're a really good football team. Dude, there's just something that's so likeable about this guy.

• 54:30Travis Kelce?

  Dude, he was, I think I've said it on here before. He was one of the guys, he was down at Miami as a tight end coach.

• 54:37Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 54:37Travis Kelce?

  Back in 2013 when I was coming out and I was like, man, I want to fucking play for that guy. That guy seems like a fucking great coach. He seems like he gets the best out of guys. Seems like he's all in, tough son of a gun. And sure enough, man, you could see, you know, as the years go on, how great of a coach he really is and how he can really embody, get guys to embody that toughness and play for him. And, uh, and yeah, it's a, it's, it's a dagger. When you, when you see guys running the ball like this, big points in the game and converting it, even with their quarterback fucking tripping over his feet.

• 55:12Speaker 03

  God.

• 55:14Travis Kelce?

  That was crazy.

• 55:15Speaker 03

  He got it done.

• 55:16Travis Kelce?

  Shout out to golf, man. Hell yeah. He found a way to hand that fucker off, man. Golly. More power to him, man.

• 55:22Speaker 03

  Feet out the way. O-line's got to do a job. Come on.

• 55:24Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 55:25Speaker 03

  Also shout out to Dan Skipper. I love, I love that Dan is just like, there's always these soundbites that Dan Campbell gives towards Skip. Let's do it. I told you, you'll never forget this game. You will never forget this game. We don't have to talk about how tough we are. We don't have to talk about how resilient we are. We live it, man. We've been living it. Where's our defense at?

• 55:50Speaker 03

  Offense, that's the way to step up, man. That's the way to step up. There you go, Skip. Keep throwing up, whatever you're throwing up with.

• 56:00Speaker 03

  How can you not love that guy? I mean, Jesus.

• 56:03Travis Kelce?

  Just a football, a football legend, man. Hell yeah.

• 56:07Speaker 03

  Just exudes passion for his players, for the sport. Freaking Dan's over there giving it everything he's got. He's throwing up. Gosh, what a great freaking, yeah, they got a lot of great stuff going on. Green Bay's got a lot of great stuff going on too. They've been playing lights out. And I mean, that was a hell of a game to watch. Lions found a way to get it done.

• 56:29Travis Kelce?

  Against Green Bay, but they got a huge one next week against the Buffalo Bills who just had a huge loss to the Rams.

• 56:36Speaker 03

  Yes, big loss.

• 56:37Travis Kelce?

  A lot of people are saying game of the year.

• 56:39Speaker 03

  Maybe, dude, it was insane.

• 56:41Travis Kelce?

  It was a 42, 44. Like that's, I mean, that's a high powered, two high powered offenses going at it right there, man.

• 56:49Speaker 03

  It was, it was, it was, what it was is high powered quarterback play. These guys were playing out of their mind. Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen were going off. The Rams dominated the majority of the game. I kind of hesitate to say that, but they did. They were winning for the majority of the game. They're winning by more than one score, the majority of the game. Josh Allen in the second half was impressive, to say the least. He was scrambling. He was making big throws, whether it was to Mac Hollins or, uh, what is it? Shakir? He was a man on a mission to come back and will the Buffalo Bills to victory. And we just talked about the fourth down decision with Dan Campbell.

• 57:25Speaker 03

  The fourth down decision by McVay in the 40, in the Rams to go for it on fourth and five, which ultimately led to a Puka touchdown was absolutely enormous.

• 57:35Travis Kelce?

  Hell of a route by Atwell coming across the middle of the field.

• 57:38Speaker 03

  Hits Atwell, then all of a sudden the, uh, Puka scores on a screen. The very next play, Puka went off. He, that catch on the sideline, toe tapper. What the heck?

• 57:48Travis Kelce?

  That dude is so good, man.

• 57:50Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 57:50Travis Kelce?

  Stormin' Mormon, man.

• 57:52Speaker 03

  Rams are coming on now that they're all healthy. Cup is back. Puka's back. O line is healthy. Matthew Stafford can still sling that ball.

• 58:00Travis Kelce?

  My God, DeMarcus Robinson having a fucking hell of a year this year. D Rob, man. Fuck, I love you. Go DeMarcus. Go DeMarcus. Are the Rams a NFC sleeper team or are they, everybody, nobody's sleeping on the Rams?

• 58:15Speaker 03

  I think that people might've been sleeping a little bit when they were injured, but I think everybody now is definitely not sleeping. You know, Stafford and McVay have been proven to be very, very good. They can put up points with the best of them. So yeah, these guys are now that they're all healthy. Now that everybody's back, you can tell they're getting dialed in again. Uh, it's going to be interesting to see how the NFC West plays out, but the Rams are, are, are a full bore.

• 58:39Travis Kelce?

  And for some non-football news, how about that? Getting into some non-football news. Uh, Juan Soto just signed arguably the most ridiculous fucking contract I've ever heard in my life.

• 58:54Speaker 03

  Oh my God. Is that real?

• 58:57Travis Kelce?

  Yes. I mean, it's, we're like five to 10 years away from seeing a MLB player make or sign a, like a billion dollar contract.

• 59:06Speaker 03

  15 years?

• 59:09Travis Kelce?

  I remember when he was insane.

• 59:09Speaker 03

  Who the hell gets a 15 year? That is just seems like so outrageously long.

• 59:14Travis Kelce?

  How old is he?

• 59:15Speaker 03

  How old is Juan Soto?

• 59:16Travis Kelce?

  I think he's only 25. He's under contract with the New York Mets until he's, until he's 40.

• 59:23Speaker 03

  The Mets? That's a big gamble. That just seems so outrageous and it's all guaranteed, right?

• 59:29Travis Kelce?

  Guaranteed, yeah. So 41, he's 26 right now. So he's, uh, he's under contract until he's 41.

• 59:34Speaker 03

  How the fuck this is, good job. I mean, the baseball union, I don't know how this, they finagled this stuff, but wow.

• 59:40Travis Kelce?

  They've been around for years and years and years. They've been around for fucking over centuries.

• 59:45Speaker 03

  Stuff together. 15 years. That seems like a joke.

• 59:50Speaker 03

  You know what I mean? Like, that just doesn't even seem.

• 59:52Travis Kelce?

  I'm not sure if the 15 years or the 765 million dollars that comes with those 15 years.

• 59:57Speaker 03

  To me, it's less than the 765 million. I mean, that's outrageous number.

• 1:00:01Travis Kelce?

  You're expecting him to play as good as he's playing right now until he's 41.

• 1:00:06Speaker 03

  That's what just blows my mind. I mean, I got in 15 years. I guess the, the thought is in 15 years, or even just in 10 years, the salary cap is going to be drastically different because inflation and how that works. But it just feels like, I mean, it's an outrageously long contract.

• 1:00:22Travis Kelce?

  It's mind blowing.

• 1:00:23Speaker 03

  I, my mind can't really wrap my head around it. Per Pat McAfee, he's going to make $5,902 an hour for the next 15 years. That's a pretty good salary.

• 1:00:32Travis Kelce?

  God damn it.

• 1:00:34Speaker 03

  Pretty good. Pretty good.

• 1:00:36Travis Kelce?

  Pretty good. Pretty good. Congratulations, Juan Soto.

• 1:00:40Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:00:41Travis Kelce?

  And he was, I mean, I got to see it live in action. That dude is a fucking beast.

• 1:00:47Speaker 03

  Yeah, he's, he's really, I mean, there's a reason, I mean, the reason he's got paid 765 million dollars over the next 15 years. Yeah.

• 1:00:53Travis Kelce?

  Pretty good. Damn. Is it, is it a vanilla contract, though? How, like, what's it?

• 1:00:57Speaker 03

  Who knows? There's gotta be all sorts of stuff in there.

• 1:00:59Travis Kelce?

  Is he getting paid until he's like fucking 80?

• 1:01:04Speaker 03

  There's gotta be all sorts of stuff in there. All right. And once again, Bold Topics is brought to you by Amazon Prime. Become a Prime member today and get more out of whatever passions you're pursuing. Whatever you're into, it's on Prime. Okay. Let's get some voicemails, Trav.

• 1:01:17Travis Kelce?

  Let's do it.

• 1:01:18Speaker 03

  Before we get out of here, we're gonna answer some not dumb questions that came to the Heights hotline. No Dumb Questions is brought to you by Disney's Mufasa, The Lion King.

• 1:01:26Travis Kelce?

  I love these kind of movies, man. It's like that, like CGI, like.

• 1:01:31Speaker 03

  Live action?

• 1:01:32Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, I love that shit, man. I'm so in on this. I don't know what it is about movies where fucking animals are talking, but I love them. I don't care whether it's live action, whether it's cartoon, I just fucking love them.

• 1:01:43Speaker 03

  Let's get to the first caller, Injun Brandon. First caller.

• 1:01:46Speaker 07

  What's up, boys? My name is Jason and this is my question for hashtag No Dumb Questions. Now, you guys have probably been asked this a thousand times, but what is the worst, and I mean the absolute worst place you could take a woman on a date? Like, bottom of the barrel, like, there's no way in hell you're getting a second date if you take a girl there. All right now, boys. Take care.

• 1:02:11Speaker 03

  Nah. I got a few coming to mind.

• 1:02:14Travis Kelce?

  Anything that she has no idea what's fucking going on?

• 1:02:17Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:02:18Travis Kelce?

  I don't know, man. What is a worse? I've, I've only thought of like good date ideas. I've never thought of the worst date ideas.

• 1:02:25Speaker 03

  I mean, I feel like a lot of the times, it's really what you make of it and your attitude and stuff that really.

• 1:02:31Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, I feel like I can make anything shake. Maybe don't take her, don't take her to the strip club. I don't fucking know.

• 1:02:37Speaker 03

  That's a good one. Definitely don't take her to the strip club.

• 1:02:39Travis Kelce?

  Don't do that, although some strip clubs do have really good wings.

• 1:02:42Speaker 03

  I have heard.

• 1:02:43Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, me too.

• 1:02:44Speaker 03

  Don't know anything about it.

• 1:02:46Travis Kelce?

  I think I got something to go one time.

• 1:02:49Speaker 03

  Yeah, strip club. Definitely don't take her to the strip club. That's definitely the worst answer.

• 1:02:53Travis Kelce?

  If she's not into sports, don't take her to a fucking sports game.

• 1:02:56Speaker 03

  No, take her to a sports game. If you're into it.

• 1:02:58Travis Kelce?

  I don't, there's nothing worse than trying to teach somebody about something that they don't want to be taught about.

• 1:03:06Speaker 03

  Well, listen, if she doesn't have the open mind to freaking go, then you don't want to go on a second day with her.

• 1:03:11Travis Kelce?

  It's okay. Nice.

• 1:03:13Speaker 03

  I mean, I'll go, listen, I, I don't want to watch Love Actually, but I'm going to watch it because Kylie wants to watch it. So we're going to watch Love Actually. That's part of being an open-minded, considerate partner.

• 1:03:23Travis Kelce?

  It's a good point. So I guess what we're trying to say is there's no real worst date. It's just, you know, picking the right woman to go on the date with.

• 1:03:32Speaker 03

  Yeah, the worst first date location is to take her to someplace that you don't want to go. Like if you're the one activating it, like if you're saying, we're going here.

• 1:03:40Travis Kelce?

  This is why we just had to find it out.

• 1:03:42Speaker 03

  Yeah, we found it. Go someplace that you want to go that you think you'll be, you're excited to take her.

• 1:03:48Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 1:03:49Speaker 03

  I think that's it.

• 1:03:50Travis Kelce?

  There you go.

• 1:03:51Speaker 03

  Worst is the opposite of that.

• 1:03:53Travis Kelce?

  You got it, Jason.

• 1:03:54Speaker 03

  Alright.

• 1:03:54Travis Kelce?

  Not you. Not you. The other Jason.

• 1:03:57Speaker 03

  Next caller. Next caller.

• 1:03:59Speaker 07

  Hey guys, I was listening to this week's episode on my way to work. I'm about to go into the office. And I was just wondering why no one in the NFL plays, uh, does the annexation of Puerto Rico play? From Little Giants. I hope you answer this because I've wondered it for a long time. Thanks.

• 1:04:17Travis Kelce?

  Well, thank you for listening. First of all, appreciate you listening on the way into work. Um, and I hope your day at work was that much better because you listened to us. And, um, because you, uh, asked about the annexation of Puerto Rico, um, I'll let you know right now that it is arguably the worst play that you could ever run.

• 1:04:35Travis Kelce?

  In an actual football game. It works so perfect because there were kids and it was a movie and. There's no fucking way in hell. I will take this back. I have seen it done in college games and I don't think it ended up being a game winning touchdown, but it did get some yards.

• 1:04:53Speaker 03

  Can we? I don't remember.

• 1:04:55Travis Kelce?

  Some of those one of it's where they snap it.

• 1:04:58Speaker 03

  It's a fumble.

• 1:05:00Travis Kelce?

  Put it, they put the ball on the ground, act like it's a toss.

• 1:05:03Speaker 03

  Yep.

• 1:05:04Travis Kelce?

  And then somebody else picks it up, puts it like, I don't.

• 1:05:07Speaker 03

  The center like sits on it like he's doesn't see where it's at.

• 1:05:11Travis Kelce?

  Something like that.

• 1:05:12Speaker 03

  I gotta see if it's a legal play.

• 1:05:14Travis Kelce?

  It's one of those old, it is a legal play for sure.

• 1:05:16Speaker 03

  Okay.

• 1:05:17Travis Kelce?

  Maybe. I'm not sure if the, I'm not, I don't remember if the.

• 1:05:21Speaker 03

  The formation.

• 1:05:21Travis Kelce?

  Actually like, yeah, the initial like snap is changes possession because it has to.

• 1:05:27Speaker 03

  It has to actually be possessed by the quarterback.

• 1:05:29Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 1:05:30Speaker 03

  For it to count as a legal snap.

• 1:05:35Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 1:05:35Speaker 03

  Or to somebody.

• 1:05:36Travis Kelce?

  We've seen it happen a lot. Some of these trick plays like the annexation of Puerto Rico or like a reverse pass or a funky formation.

• 1:05:45Speaker 03

  Mm hmm, mm hmm, mm hmm.

• 1:05:46Travis Kelce?

  Some of them are just, it's the NFL, like the people, guys aren't getting fucking tricked.

• 1:05:52Speaker 03

  I mean, guys get tricked all the time, Travis.

• 1:05:54Travis Kelce?

  I don't know, man.

• 1:05:56Speaker 03

  That's like, you're a flanker. That's your entire career has been tricking people.

• 1:06:00Travis Kelce?

  Nope, not like that.

• 1:06:03Travis Kelce?

  Not like that.

• 1:06:05Speaker 03

  Well, I think Travis is on to something. It's probably not a play that's going to work very well in the NFL.

• 1:06:10Travis Kelce?

  Mm hmm.

• 1:06:10Speaker 03

  Fun to watch in a movie. What's a kid's name that designs it in Little Giants?

• 1:06:15Travis Kelce?

  No idea.

• 1:06:16Speaker 03

  Yeah.

• 1:06:16Travis Kelce?

  Four eyes?

• 1:06:18Speaker 03

  I can't say what that thing is.

• 1:06:20Travis Kelce?

  It's wrong character, but that guy's awesome too.

• 1:06:23Speaker 03

  No, that's the same character.

• 1:06:24Travis Kelce?

  No, it's not.

• 1:06:25Speaker 03

  What do you, yes, it is.

• 1:06:26Travis Kelce?

  No, it's not. He's the, he's like the coach essentially. Wow, the fumble, the fumble risky.

• 1:06:31Speaker 03

  All right. Well, I need to go back and watch Little Giants again.

• 1:06:34Travis Kelce?

  What are these for? So the, the guys at the morgue can identify our bodies.

• 1:06:42Travis Kelce?

  No, what are, what are these for? Intimidation.

• 1:06:50Travis Kelce?

  So fucking good. We got a remake Little Giants, man.
