  The wrongs we must right, the fights we must win, the future we must secure together for our nation. This is what's in front of us. This determines what's next for all of us. We are Marines. We were made for this.

• 0:20Travis Kelce?

  Thank you to our partner Royal Caribbean. 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.

• 0:38Speaker 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.

• 0:47Travis 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.

• 0:54Speaker 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?

• 1:04Travis Kelce?

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

• 1:06Speaker 02

  I love a water park.

• 1:07Travis Kelce?

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

• 1:16Speaker 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.

• 1:25Travis Kelce?

  All right, Captain, get the family on the new Legend of the Seas, sailing November 2026 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

• 1:37Travis Kelce?

  Thank you to our sponsor, Colgate Total.

• 1:40Speaker 02

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

• 1:44Travis Kelce?

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

• 1:51Speaker 02

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

• 1:55Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, like in your mouth.

• 1:57Speaker 02

  My mouth specifically?

• 1:59Travis 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.

• 2:10Speaker 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.

• 2:21Travis Kelce?

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

• 2:29Speaker 02

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

• 2:36Travis Kelce?

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

• 2:39Speaker 02

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

  You go to Spotify and I'm pretty sure it just.

• 3:04Travis Kelce?

  That's a lot of genres. That's way more than a lot of people for sure.

• 3:08Speaker 02

  My top genre is doo-wop.

• 3:10Travis Kelce?

  It's going to tell you your average age.

• 3:13Speaker 02

  Age. Don't take this personally. Oh my God.

• 3:16Travis Kelce?

  What is it?

• 3:17Speaker 02

  That's embarrassing.

• 3:18Travis Kelce?

  What is it?

• 3:19Speaker 02

  Eighty-three.

• 3:21Travis Kelce?

  Eighty-three. Nice. That's pretty good.

• 3:27Travis Kelce?

  Welcome back to New Heights. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of Wondery Show brought to you by Yeti. And that's not me. We're talking about the Yeti coolers, the Yeti drinks, the Yeti everything.

• 3:39Speaker 02

  Ooh, that New Heights green.

• 3:40Travis Kelce?

  Ooh, how about it? I love that. We're your hosts. I'm Travis Kelce. My big brother, Jason Kelce out of Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Shout out to the Heights and shout out to the Cincinnati Bearcats headed to the Liberty Bowl versus the Naval Academy.

• 3:53Speaker 02

  Good old fashioned Liberty Bowl. Birmingham, Alabama. Is it still in Birmingham, Alabama?

• 3:59Travis Kelce?

  I don't think so.

• 3:59Speaker 02

  No, moved.

• 4:00Travis Kelce?

  The Liberty Bowl for me was in. Memphis, Tennessee.

• 4:05Speaker 02

  No, that was the Belk Bowl.

• 4:06Travis Kelce?

  That was in Charlotte.

• 4:07Speaker 02

  Really?

• 4:08Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 4:08Speaker 02

  So the Liberty Bowl moved to Memphis. It was at UAB Stadium in Birmingham, Alabama, when I played in it.

• 4:13Travis Kelce?

  There you go.

• 4:14Speaker 02

  Right? Or am I thinking of a different bowl?

• 4:16Travis Kelce?

  I think you're thinking of Papa John's Bowl.

• 4:18Speaker 02

  I am thinking of the PapaJohns.com Bowl. Alright, sorry Liberty Bowl.

• 4:21Travis Kelce?

  Let's go Cats, baby. Finish this year off right. Subscribe on YouTube, Wondry Plus, wherever you get your podcasts and follow the show on all social media at New Heights Show with one S for fun clips throughout the week. Jason, please, this is where you tell everyone what we're gonna talk about.

• 4:35Speaker 02

  Well, 92 percenters, we've got a incredibly depressing football portion of this great episode. We're gonna recap the Chief Sexton's game as well as the loss of the Eagles in overtime to the Chargers, but we will get into a lot more NFL discussions that will hopefully be more joyous. We're gonna get into all that in a minute, but first, we're always gonna start with a little bit of that new news. New News is brought to you by American Express. Biggest piece of new news is Travis has been the Chiefs nominee for Walter Payton Man of the Year. This is your third nominee. How many times have you been nominated? Four?

• 5:12Travis Kelce?

  Three or four, three or four, yeah.

• 5:14Speaker 02

  In particular, you're nominated for your work with Operation Breakthrough. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Walter Payton Man of the Year, it's kind of all encompassing. It's turned into one of the greatest honors you can receive in the NFL. A lot of it comes down to charitable work and community work, but it also comes down to how you are as a player and what you, the values and everything that you kind of exude as an NFL player to your teammates and city. And, you know, it's named after the late, great Walter Payton. His family is still involved in giving out this award. So it is an incredible honor to be nominated for it. Trav, what are your thoughts? Obviously, you've been nominated before.

• 5:56Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. Um, I mean, I was nominated last year, maybe not the year before that, but a year or two prior to that one. Obviously, you don't do the work and you're not who you are to the community and to the teams for the award, you know? You're not doing this and hoping... You one day could be it. So it's I just do it because I love seeing these kids have something that they wouldn't have otherwise. I love doing it to support, you know, what Operation Breakthrough means to this community. And I love doing things with my foundational team because my foundation team is amazing and they find ways to to give back to the community and they find events that bring the community closer together. And it's just an honor and it's obviously

• 6:38Travis Kelce?

  representing a whole lot more people than just myself. I think the Chiefs community outreach is second to absolutely none. And that shows in how many Walter Payton Man of the Years we've had in Kansas City and the tradition that that Lamar Hunt embedded in this organization back in the 60s and 70s of how, you know, he was going to make sure that the the fans that are showing up in the the community that's showing up is going to, you know, see us give back to them for how much they show up for us on Sundays, man. And it's just an absolute honor to to represent this organization, to represent my foundation, and even more so to represent Operation Breakthrough and all the kids and all the amazing things that they're doing over there.

• 7:19Speaker 02

  Well, congratulations, Travis. I mean, listen, I think you do so much for that community in Kansas City. And really, I mean, Philadelphia community, you've been involved with Eagles Autism Challenge. You do so much surrounding the NFL and the landscape and supporting the fans and different communities that the teams are in. So back in Cleveland, couldn't happen to a more deserving guy. Well done.

• 7:39Travis Kelce?

  Thank you, man. And thank you to all the 92 percenters who shared their Spotify wrapped, because we were the number one sports podcast on on Spotify of the 2025 year. Obviously, a lot of familiar faces up there.

• 7:55Speaker 02

  Podcasts up here. Yep.

• 7:56Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, Boston with the Boys made the list. We got our guy, Pat McAfee.

• 8:00Speaker 02

  McAfee, part of my take.

• 8:02Travis Kelce?

  Bunch of friends on there that that are all well deserving of it. But thank you, guys, for posting all that and tuning in week in, week out. We also heard from a bunch of 92 percenters who got their YouTube recap, but wanted to specifically shout out Rachel, who was in our top point one percent of viewers.

• 8:21Speaker 02

  That's amazing.

• 8:22Travis Kelce?

  Crazy. Rachel said. Safe to say I look forward to Wednesdays.

• 8:28Travis Kelce?

  As she posted a picture of her literally being top point one percent of viewers.

• 8:34Speaker 02

  That's awesome. Shout out to Rachel. Well done. It was awesome seeing a bunch of people posting, you know, where they're at in the percentages and how many minutes. I don't know if that was on YouTube or if that was a Spotify thing, but the end of the year recaps.

• 8:45Travis Kelce?

  Did you look at your Spotify?

• 8:47Speaker 02

  I don't know how to do it. Where's it at?

• 8:49Travis Kelce?

  You go to Spotify and I'm pretty sure it's just.

• 8:51Speaker 02

  Free, free Spotify ad. It's fine with it. I'm cool with it. Is it in? Where's it at?

• 8:57Travis Kelce?

  It should be in home.

• 8:58Speaker 02

  Oh, it's time for your 2025 wrapped. All right, we're ready for G for you. Swipe up.

• 9:06Speaker 02

  You listened 13,388 minutes, 254 genres.

• 9:12Travis Kelce?

  That's a lot of genres. That's way more than a lot of people for sure.

• 9:16Speaker 02

  My top genre is doo-wop.

• 9:18Travis Kelce?

  Oh, you're seeing me and you are. What was your? It's going to tell you your average age.

• 9:24Speaker 02

  Oh, so doo-wop is more because that's I sing a lot of doo-wop songs to Finny. For some reason she stops crying when I sing like Fleet Woods and some of the like doo-wop music from back in the day.

• 9:35Travis Kelce?

  Okay.

• 9:36Speaker 02

  Then obviously I'm always been an outlaw country guy. Synth pop, big synth pop, children's music. Yep, this is all adding up. Beach music. All right, here we go. Age. Don't take this personally. Oh, my God.

• 9:49Travis Kelce?

  What is it?

• 9:50Speaker 02

  That's embarrassing.

• 9:51Travis Kelce?

  What is it?

• 9:52Speaker 02

  Eighty-three.

• 9:53Travis Kelce?

  Eighty-three. Nice. That's pretty good. That's pretty good.

• 9:57Speaker 02

  I'm older than Dad.

• 9:59Travis Kelce?

  I was 68. Yeah, I was right. I'm right underneath that.

• 10:02Speaker 02

  That's hilarious.

• 10:04Travis Kelce?

  Nice. Well, it's always fun to see what your average age is compared to your Spotify and the songs you're listening to.

• 10:12Speaker 02

  That wraps up new news brought to you by American Express.

• 10:16Travis Kelce?

  Let's get to some fan mentions. We got a fun basket weave mention from EAW7354. The official way to hold garages. The old double hand.

• 10:28Speaker 02

  I just want to be like, that's not, that's not a basket weaving style technique, right? The basket weaving's hand over hand or is that basket weaving?

• 10:35Travis Kelce?

  I didn't write basket weave in here.

• 10:40Speaker 02

  Have you ever held a beer by two hands? I don't think I've ever done that.

• 10:43Travis Kelce?

  Not crossed like that.

• 10:44Speaker 02

  I kinda wanna try it. Ball security, beer security.

• 10:47Travis Kelce?

  Beer security, what a, man, that sounds like a TV show.

• 10:50Speaker 02

  By the way, I do wanna point out, outside of the Doop album, because I play that every night when I'm singing to Finney. Second album.

• 10:59Travis Kelce?

  Tay-Tay's?

• 11:00Speaker 02

  You know it.

• 11:01Travis Kelce?

  That was number one for me.

• 11:05Travis Kelce?

  I don't have any.

• 11:07Speaker 02

  Kids, you're singing to see.

• 11:08Travis Kelce?

  Lots, you know.

• 11:09Speaker 02

  I can't sing Tay's songs.

• 11:14Speaker 02

  Dad, you're really off pitch here.

• 11:18Travis Kelce?

  You can sing along, they're catchy.

• 11:19Speaker 02

  They are. Alrighty. Bold topics to wrap up week 14. Let's start with Sunday Night Football. Chiefs 10, Texans 20. Trav, I'll let you take it away, brother.

• 11:30Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, man. It's, uh, it's been a tough fucking go around for the past two days. Yeah. It's just, ah, you put in all this fucking work in hopes that it pays off and right now it's just, for whatever fucking reason, man, it's little things, it's, I don't know, discipline. I feel like I've always had the answers in years past and this year it's just, I just can't find them and I keep thinking if I show up to work and I put in the work and I fix the issues, uh, through my practice habits and through, uh, through perfecting the game plan and my fundamentals and what I'm being taught and go out there and try and play my ass off for my guys next to me, it's, it's all gonna come together like it has in years past and this year's just not, man.

• 12:16Travis Kelce?

  Not to say that I won't keep doing that. It's all that I can do. It's all that I, I'm gonna always show up to work and fucking give it my all and if there's a game to be played, I'm gonna fucking make it the most important game of the world.

• 12:28Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 12:28Travis Kelce?

  But obviously, looking at the.

• 12:32Travis Kelce?

  The playoffs, this is a tough reality to be in.

• 12:37Travis Kelce?

  Especially with, um, I don't know, just how, how we've always found a way in years past. So it's a, it's a shitty fucking feeling, especially dropping the fucking ball late in the game like that when we were on our last fucking chance to make something shake. It's a shitty feeling, man.

• 12:53Speaker 02

  I hear you.

• 12:54Travis Kelce?

  You put in all this work to, you know, be there for your guys and I just, I just wasn't that, I wasn't that.

• 13:00Speaker 02

  I do gotta point out, I think that that catch would have been pretty damn impressive catch. That was a tough one. To, I mean, you're running all the way over here and you're trying to reach back. I know you always hold yourself to a high standard, but that would have been a tough catch. I'll say this, again, it's another game that was right there. Right? Like, and we knew going into it, the Texans had a great defense. We knew Chiefs had a great defense. And it was going to come down to the team that made the fewest mistakes. And at the end of the day, with the drop passes and things at the end of the game, even throughout the game, there were multiple times where you guys had the opportunities and it's just like, it's just been a very weird year for the Chiefs and you guys have been in, I mean, what is it? Seven straight? This was the first time in what nine seasons, you guys aren't going to win the AFC West or whatever it is?

• 13:44Speaker 02

  Since 2015, you know, I, I think sometimes the ball just doesn't fall your way and you guys have had the epitome of that this year. Yeah. I don't know. I know it's frustrating. I know that, you know, it's the competitor you are and, you know, how badly you want it, how badly Pat wants it, the work you guys put in. So I feel for you for sure. Um, and I know that that game in particular was a frustrating one because of what it meant, but.

• 14:10Travis Kelce?

  Ah, it's frustrating, but, um, we got four games left and, uh, go put my fucking heart on the line for these guys because they deserve that. Chiefs Kingdom, you guys deserve that and we keep this thing fucking rolling, man.

• 14:23Speaker 02

  What is the mindset? You guys just one game at a time? Just count the Chargers this week?

• 14:28Travis Kelce?

  Just, yeah. I mean, obviously we, we don't necessarily control our own destiny at this point. Like I said, we need some things to happen outside of us winning all our games. Um, so that's all you can do, man. You got the Chargers coming in and you just get after them.

• 14:44Speaker 02

  I just feel like if you guys get to 10 and seven this year in the AFC, that. That'll sneak in at a wild card, but one game at a time.

• 14:52Travis Kelce?

  Yep.

• 14:52Speaker 02

  Four games left. Yeah. What do the Chiefs have to get fixed the most? What are you guys the most focused on?

• 14:57Travis Kelce?

  Critical situations towards the end of game showing up. I mean, obviously drop passes.

• 15:01Speaker 02

  Drops are the things that stood out to me watching it.

• 15:04Travis Kelce?

  Missed blocks in key situations that could, you know, spark big runs, um, spark big plays and, uh, scoring touchdowns. You gotta score touchdowns in this league, man. And, um, field goals aren't gonna, aren't gonna cut it. Think it's just details on, uh, on all phases. Um, even though I thought our, our defense fucking showed up and played a hell of a game against the, the Texans this week.

• 15:28Speaker 02

  Chris Jones, my God.

• 15:30Travis Kelce?

  He was showing his heart, man. That's for sure.

• 15:32Speaker 02

  Spags was dialing up all these blitzes. I mean, it was, it was a fun game to watch from the defense for sure. They were, they were doing everything they could.

• 15:38Travis Kelce?

  And shout out to the Texans, man. They made plays when they needed to.

• 15:41Speaker 02

  They got good players over there and that defense is freaking, it's the best in the NFL right now.

• 15:45Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 15:45Speaker 02

  D'Amico Ryan's, it's kinda, dude, every single person on that staff I played with in Philly, it's kinda amazing considering how they all have like, and not, not, a lot of them weren't even there together. Like D'Amico's the head coach, Matt Burke's the DC, Corey Unland's in the backfield, Billy Davis, who was the DC when Chip was here as the linebackers coach. I mean, it's whenever, whenever I'm at a Houston, I'm like, God dang, this is like former Philadelphia right here. But, uh, yeah, they're rolling on defense, man. Those guys are doing a great job coaching those guys up and they have great players. I do gotta shout out Esipole, played good, man. The biggest thing I was worried about was the offensive line. And he played against who I think is one of the best players in the NFL and has been for a while, the Neo Hunter.

• 16:28Speaker 02

  And he, he held his own, more than held his own.

• 16:31Travis Kelce?

  No, he came in, he came in and, and, and yeah, I was extremely proud of him, happy as hell for him. Uh, and when I tell you, man, you wanna talk about a guy that was just fucking happy to play ball, man?

• 16:43Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 16:44Travis Kelce?

  Out there, high energy, no matter what the situation was, seemed like he was ready to fucking get after it.

• 16:50Speaker 02

  That's awesome.

• 16:50Travis Kelce?

  A guy like that who's just kinda itching at the bit to be able to get out there and show, show the world what he's got, man. The big athletic guy, man. And, uh, Happy as hell for him. Just wish we could have got the win for him. We got the Chargers this week, obviously, coming off a win against the Eagles as we're about to get into, man. A team we know, a team that knows us, and they're rolling too. Hardball's got them playing their best fucking ball and Herbert's playing lights out. And yeah, we're gonna have our hands full, man. Let's go ahead and get to this Eagles Chargers game, though, on a little Monday night out there in Los Angeles. Jason, you you kind of summed up the game by tweeting F M L. If you want to tell everybody why you tweeted that.

• 17:33Speaker 02

  It was just frustrating game to watch as an Eagles fan. You know, we just like continually kept kicking ourselves in the foot. And I mean, it was, you know, turnovers, penalty down low, takes us out of off the two yard line. I mean, it was just one thing after the other. Very frustrating game. It felt like there was more to be had. It did feel like we were starting to click. And then every second we got into the red zone, turnover, every single time we got a chance to to get a touchdown, we get knocked back and kick a field goal. We'd miss a few. We missed a few. It's just like, not too much different than the Chiefs game. And it's like, man, we had our opportunities more than our opportunities. And we did a lot of good, really good things in

• 18:15Speaker 02

  the game against a really good team. Against a really good defense. Like, the Chargers defense is one of the better units in the NFL statistically and like personnel wise. One of my favorite defensive players in the league in Derwin James over there. Love watching that guy every chance I get to see him play. So yeah, just a really frustrating game. And it ended in a very frustrating fashion, where we're putting together a great drive, playing outstanding ball, and over time, driving the length of the field, and then the interception to lose. Just it was just a gut wrenching way to to end that one. And, you know, we needed to get some momentum back. And unfortunately, a very sloppy

• 18:56Speaker 02

  Again, leaves the Eagles in another week of frustration. And listen, if we take care of business and don't have these mistakes, it's, it's going in a different direction and we're, we're rolling. So it was a frustrating, frustrating game.

• 19:14Travis Kelce?

  You mentioned that last turnover that, uh, that kinda sealed it. Um, but eight combined turnovers.

• 19:21Speaker 02

  Dude, it was nuts.

• 19:23Travis Kelce?

  Six in the second quarter alone.

• 19:25Speaker 02

  I don't even know, like, like what?

• 19:27Travis Kelce?

  It's insane. There's a few.

• 19:29Speaker 02

  I mean, on the one play, obviously had the interception from Jalen. They pick it up. We force a fumble. Jalen recovers it. And then while he's still trying to get control of that thing, he fumbles it. It was just a comedy of turnovers all game long.

• 19:41Travis Kelce?

  There were, there were a lot of what the fuck plays and, uh, Hertz actually became the first player since 1978 with two turnovers on the same play, which tells you how rare that shit is when it happens. Um, but six in the second quarter alone is fucking ridiculous.

• 20:01Speaker 02

  Yeah, it was, it was a horrendous game of ball security, which is not, so Jalen, I know the last couple of weeks have been rough for him. This is one of the things he's done well his whole career is taking care of the football. And it's, uh, unfortunately been too out of, I guess, character or not, uh, common, um, games from, from him and from our team that have really cost us. I mean, we, this offense has been so stagnant and like the three and outs, and it's like struggled to get anything going the last couple of weeks. You know, this team in the, is, well, the defense is great. The defense was phenomenal in this game, outside of the Bears game, and maybe one other one against the Giants. They've been great all season. Offensively, they've, they're looking for what, who they are, it looks like.

• 20:46Speaker 02

  They're looking for that identity, right? And there's so many good pieces and. You know, they, all these plays are, are great individual plays for this guy, this guy, this guy, and this guy. And it's just, you know, what, who are we and what are we going to be about? And throughout Jalen's tenure, and I think what lends itself to the best for this team is, man, we gotta, we gotta attack the line of scrimmage with one of the best running backs in the game and just repeatedly stick to that and then take our shots down the field. It doesn't need to be this like kind of crazy outlandish thing. And I know everybody's talking about the scheme and whatnot. There were plays in this game to be had. There were opportunities.

• 21:27Speaker 02

  Guys were open. Um, I, I thought that quite frankly, we had a really good game offensively.

• 21:34Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, I thought you guys did. The turnovers are crazy.

• 21:37Speaker 02

  Yeah. And I think that there's some positive things moving forward. First of all, the defense is still playing out of their mind. But listen, if that run game, you keep going like that, you know, you got stretch working, you can do a lot of things off a stretch. You got, you got split zone, attacking the line of scrimmage. I know everybody talks about under center versus gun. I really just think about it like, just build a wall, get running off the ball and make those guys stop that. In order to stop that, you gotta, you gotta commit to the line of scrimmage and then that opens things behind them. And you know, they're, they're a good team as well. Jesse Minner did some things that threw us off on plays here and there. That's gonna happen. I thought it was a overall, there's a lot of positive takeaway from the game in a game that looks really negative because of the

• 22:22Speaker 02

  extremely bad plays that happened. There were some good things in my opinion on that tape. Um, I thought the guys ran block better than they have in a, in a, in a while. I thought the tight ends did a pretty darn good job in this game for the most part. And yeah, I mean, uncharacteristic game for Jalen. Uh, he cleans that up. Full confidence he will. And the defense keeps playing like this. I know that's a lot of ifs and buts and candies and nuts. Um, but you know.

• 22:51Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 22:51Travis Kelce?

  I hear you, Coach Kelce. Does getting Lane Johnson back soon help? Yes, of course. That's why is that even a question? Hopefully you guys can get him back. Hopefully, uh, land is not too banged up. Then he can, he can keep, uh, keep things rolling. I know he got a little banged up and came out, uh, for a quick second.

• 23:11Speaker 02

  Yeah, I think he had a calf injury. I think that's what it was. But he came back in late, I think.

• 23:15Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 23:16Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 23:17Travis Kelce?

  Maybe just keep it moving. A positivity rabbit. So is it, this has been a thing with the offensive line for a while now?

• 23:24Speaker 02

  No, this is the first time it showed up. I don't even, I thought it was Landon because it feels like Landon sense of humor. Landon said it wasn't him. I have no idea where this fucking rabbit came from.

• 23:31Travis Kelce?

  There you go. It showed up today and the offensive lineman, uh, stressed to me that they are not sad. They just wanted good vibes, bunny. This is from Ashley Sullivan. Would assume a reporter out there in the Philly area.

• 23:45Speaker 02

  At the end of the week, this positivity rabbit showed up in the locker room. And obviously this is kind of like somebody trying to.

• 23:53Speaker 02

  It's a lot of negativity in Philadelphia for, and before the game for an eight and four team that's first in their division. And certainly looking like they're going to be in the playoffs. I think the team was trying to make a statement like, hey, we're. We're all in on this together. We feel like we're still the real deal.

• 24:10Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 24:11Speaker 02

  If I'm being honest, I don't really like the rabbit. I think it's kind of like. It's a little hokey, but listen, if they like it, who the fuck, I'm not, I don't really give a fuck that much, but you gotta go back it up. You go out there and you turn the ball over a bunch and largely you're the reason that you lose the game. Rabbit's gotta fucking eat carrots. Get the fuck out of here, rabbit.

• 24:33Speaker 02

  Bad vibe. The, it didn't work. What did they say about it? So it showed up today and the offensive line stressed to me, they are not sad. They just wanted good vibes, bunny. So you're asking Brandon, should they ditch the rabbit or double down with more rabbits?

• 24:47Speaker 03

  Just put more rabbits in. What do you, which way do you go with this? You're saying get rid of it?

• 24:51Speaker 02

  I think they tried it. It didn't work. You gotta ditch the rabbit. I mean, the whole thing's gotta go.

• 24:55Speaker 03

  It's gotta go. Yeah, I kind of agree.

• 24:57Speaker 02

  Or do you double down?

• 24:59Speaker 03

  Do you add different, do you add, do you do put different holiday mascots in there? Do you get a leprechaun? Do you get?

• 25:05Speaker 02

  I mean, the more rabbits is funny. I don't know how much you want to joke around about just

• 25:11Speaker 03

  At this point, frigging.

• 25:13Speaker 02

  A season going the wrong direction right now, but.

• 25:15Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, if I'm losing, not winning, we got to get rid of that shit.

• 25:18Speaker 02

  That's my, I honestly, if I'm being very brutally honest, I thought it was a surprise to see the rabbit because I'm like,

• 25:25Speaker 02

  it's a sign of just like too much like joking around with something that I think is like actually like you should be really fucking pissed off at the way you're playing. And it's okay to be positive, but like, you know, this is something you do when everything's rolling and you're fricking performing well. You don't do antics like this when you've shit the bed for the last couple of weeks.

• 25:46Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, I hear you. Well, we got a Monsters Fun Day Football. Do we have, is this a Jason Kelce Monsters, Inc.?

• 25:55Speaker 02

  It is. This is pretty cool. The, what is this? ESPN does this alt cast. There's at least a second year they did it. Last year they did it as Simpsons characters, but they use, somehow they do it with like AI or some animation program or whatever, but it mimics the game happening. I think Dan Orlovsky, Mina Kimes and, I forget who else is on the call, maybe Jeremy Fowler. I don't know, but there's a whole nother like broadcast happening. And they do it. They did it this year in the Monsters Inc. style and Swag and I did the pregame show for it.

• 26:28Travis Kelce?

  Nice.

• 26:29Speaker 02

  And we were monsters for the pregame show of the alt cast. And I mean, I just love the beard.

• 26:35Travis Kelce?

  That's great.

• 26:37Speaker 02

  And then look at the eyebrows. They make sure not to.

• 26:40Travis Kelce?

  Thick as shit. You already know. That's not Jason Kelce unless you throw some thick ass eyebrows on there.

• 26:45Speaker 02

  Dude, this would be fun to just wear this as my outfit though. Just get like a collar with a.

• 26:52Travis Kelce?

  You're insane. That's pretty good though. The Eagles got the Raiders at home next week though.

• 26:57Speaker 02

  They do. I know the Raiders.

• 27:00Speaker 02

  Had a rough season this year. Obviously, they've already fired Chip Kelly, offensive coordinator. Hasn't gone their way, but it's still the NFL, man. Any, any team can win any, any given Sunday and the Eagles need to get some momentum going. They have to go out there and perform.

• 27:13Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 27:14Speaker 02

  I really feel strongly, they need to figure out what the identity is that they want to do. And I think they were closer to doing that this last week. I think when something's working, I would love to see them just continue to, to press that. You know what I mean? It feels like a lot of the times they, they, they do something that works and then they're on to the next thing that they want to, they went into the game wanting to do. It's like, hold on, hey, if we're doing this really good, if, if Saquon's rolling with these types of plays, make them defend that. If they can't show that they can defend that, bro, keep taking it. Some of the spread things are interesting. I thought they, they adjusted well with empty where, uh, you know, when they do those like zero, they know you're in five man protection. So they just read the guards, make you hot and then you gotta get rid of the ball. If you want to live in empty,

• 28:01Speaker 02

  you need to move the back around a lot. Put the back in the backfield, motion them out, put the back in the backfield, motion them out, bring them back in. Jet a tight end across a formation, act like the tight end's jetting and then he stops and then you do like a six man protection with the tight, like you gotta at least mess with the numbers. So it's not predictable. Every time you line up an empty, it's going to be five man protection. Otherwise they're just going to sit flat footed, make you hot and rally to the ball. You, you, but that's a whole nother fucking thing. Big game this week. Uh, obviously Raiders in the link. They need to go out and put forward a good game. I don't care what the Raiders record is. At this point, the Eagles need to show that they can be a consistent, good football team.

• 28:46Speaker 02

  Limit the penalties, run the ball well, control the line of scrimmage and take your shots when they're there. It, it doesn't need to be this air raid, high scoring attack with the way this defense is playing. Grind it out. Eventually the run game gets going, the more and more that you pounded on these guys. It really sucks with how good the defense played this last week that we weren't able to get a victory for them. And really with how they played the whole season. We can be this type of offense. I really believe that.

• 29:14Travis Kelce?

  I hear you. They just gotta put it all together, man.

• 29:16Speaker 02

  There we go.

• 29:16Travis Kelce?

  It's the name of the game, baby.

• 29:18Speaker 02

  All righty. Thanks to our presenting sponsor. That's right.

• 29:22Travis Kelce?

  Oh.

• 29:23Speaker 02

  Yeti. Fuck yeah. I love these things. Who doesn't love a good Yeti?

• 29:28Travis Kelce?

  Check these things out, dude.

• 29:30Speaker 02

  I do a podcast with one and I drink out of one.

• 29:33Travis Kelce?

  Check these things out right here. These NFL ramblers that Yeti sent us.

• 29:39Speaker 02

  Got the Eagles one here. I also got a New Heights green one.

• 29:42Travis Kelce?

  Ooh.

• 29:42Speaker 02

  If you like a little bit of a darker green.

• 29:44Travis Kelce?

  It's a good green.

• 29:45Speaker 02

  We also have a Super Bowl champions one right here. Boom. With a little thermos top. We have an Eagles rambler, Chiefs one, and the forest green one that we just showed you, which does match the show colors perfectly.

• 29:56Travis Kelce?

  It's a good green. I like the green. Yeti products are the best. That's right. And you can use them for any drink, hot or cold. It keeps it at exactly the temperature that you want.

• 30:06Speaker 02

  Obviously, the Yetis are all made from quality materials. Their dishwasher's safe, BPA free, and they're basically indestructible. I don't know how, I don't think I've ever seen one destroyed. Maybe dented a little bit, but even that seems like it's pretty hard to do. Because they're made of stainless steel with double wall insulation.

• 30:20Travis Kelce?

  And there's dozens of product options to choose from to accommodate your beverage of choice. That's right. Their NFL collection has ramblers, coolers, mugs, flasks, and even a beverage bucket. How about that?

• 30:34Speaker 02

  I like a good beverage bucket.

• 30:36Travis Kelce?

  And they're available with any NFL team logo, not just our Eagle and Chiefs colors.

• 30:42Speaker 02

  They even have a Jets one for Jets. Jake, why don't you show off your Yeti?

• 30:47Speaker 04

  Look at this.

• 30:48Speaker 02

  All right, get out of here. And Yeti has released new products just in time for the holidays. Like the ultra durable travel straw mug and for the first time ever, a shaker bottle with whisk free technology.

All right, now let's get to the rest of the league. Breaking news Colts have signed a 44 year old Philip Rivers. That's right, the old gunslinger from the past like three decades. Yeah, he's coming back out, baby. He just got signed to their practice squad. Hasn't played in the NFL since 2020, but is getting reunited with Shane Steichen, who was the Chargers staff

• 33:37Travis Kelce?

  and interim offensive coordinator in 2019 with Philip and potentially first grandfather to play in the NFL. That's crazy. His oldest kid is older than their their star tight end Tyler Warren, which is pretty, it's pretty staggering fact right there. Also older than his head coach, Steichen. That's right. He's and his offensive coordinator. Again, Philip is 44. Yeah. And Jim Bob is 41 and Shane is 40. He is also older than 12 current NFL head coaches. And I bet you he can still go out there and sling it. Got it, man.

• 34:21Speaker 02

  He's a semi semifinalist for the Hall of Fame this year because he's eligible to go in the Hall of Fame. That's how long he's been out of the NFL.

• 34:29Travis Kelce?

  Damn, it is 2025.

• 34:31Speaker 02

  So it's a five year removed guy at 44 who is a grandfather coming out of retirement to join an NFL team. Sounds absolutely fucking bonkers. But I want to see it. As a fan, I cannot wait to watch a grandpa go out there and sling this fucking thing. I hope he is starting this week. I want to see it so bad.

• 34:54Travis Kelce?

  What does this do for his like Hall of Fame? Does it now? It's another five, five, it resets it?

• 35:02Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 35:02Travis Kelce?

  Wow.

• 35:03Speaker 02

  I know from my, from Shane's time in Philadelphia.

• 35:05Travis Kelce?

  He's a glove to get in. There's no, I mean, there's no question. He's in.

• 35:08Speaker 02

  Statistic, the only thing he doesn't have is a Super Bowl, but statistically and the competitor he was and how he played the game, that's not even a question.

• 35:15Travis Kelce?

  100%.

• 35:16Speaker 02

  Shane Steichen from when he was in Philadelphia, Frank Reich, Nick Sirianni, knowing all these people that were with Philip at some point in his career. I don't know that I've ever heard of another, of coaches speak higher of another player. They look up to this guy like he is in a realm of his own. Not just as a player, like mentally, the way he operates, the way he puts the team positions. I've just heard nothing but like the most incredible things about him as a teammate and player.

• 35:46Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 35:47Speaker 02

  I want to see it happen. I mean, I'm just hoping it holds up. If he can stay healthy.

• 35:51Travis Kelce?

  This is like Burt Reynolds coming out in the longest yard.

• 35:53Speaker 02

  What, how old was Brett Favre when he was like still like trying to hold on to it like?

• 35:58Travis Kelce?

  I think 40, 40.

• 35:59Speaker 02

  He was still, he had, he had never stopped.

• 36:01Travis Kelce?

  Was he?

• 36:02Speaker 02

  That's what's just hard to imagine. And I know he's got enough kids that he's not stopping.

• 36:05Travis Kelce?

  Retired like three times. He didn't stop for five years.

• 36:08Speaker 02

  Yeah, that's what I'm saying. There wasn't like a prolonged period where he was out of it for a long time.

• 36:12Travis Kelce?

  No, 100%. I think maybe a year was like the most he sat out.

• 36:17Speaker 02

  It's hard to imagine a guy that hasn't played football in five years is 44 is still going to be able to physically do it. But I'm not downing Philip Rivers. I'm just not going to do it. I know that it's, I know that it's crazy.

• 36:29Travis Kelce?

  At the, in a run of the playoffs, if they make it.

• 36:31Speaker 02

  Give my man some Toradol. I know he's still been active. He's got like 20 kids, including grandkids. So he's still running around playing with them suckers. So he's, he's still been doing something.

• 36:42Travis Kelce?

  Oh yeah. I'm pretty sure his son is actually like one of the biggest quarterback recruits in the country. And to clarify, Brett never, he'd never stop playing. He would retire, then he would play the next year.

• 36:54Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 36:54Travis Kelce?

  Or say that he's, yeah, whatever he did.

• 36:56Speaker 02

  What was that movie where the guy retires and becomes a teacher and then he comes back in and throws a baseball, Kevin Costner?

• 37:03Travis Kelce?

  Is it the rookie? I think so.

• 37:05Speaker 02

  That's what this reminds me of.

• 37:07Speaker 03

  I think of the Dennis, the Dennis Quaid movie, The Rookie.

• 37:09Speaker 02

  Dennis Quaid, that's it. Yep. Is it Rookie?

• 37:12Speaker 03

  Yes, that is correct.

• 37:14Speaker 02

  It is correct.

• 37:15Travis Kelce?

  I knew it.

• 37:15Speaker 02

  This has instantly become one of the most exciting things I can't wait to potentially see. This got released on air on Monday night.

• 37:22Travis Kelce?

  I mean, it's just, it's just practice squad right now. We don't know if he's actually.

• 37:25Speaker 02

  You don't add a 44 year old quarterback to the practice squad without the idea that this dude's gonna play some football. I am so looking forward to what this looks like. I hope he freaking balls out. I really do.

• 37:37Travis Kelce?

  Dude, so you don't think they go with the, the young kid?

• 37:41Speaker 02

  I think he's hurt too. They, their third string guy I think is hurt.

• 37:44Travis Kelce?

  Why would it be practice squad? Just so that they can figure out.

• 37:47Speaker 02

  They're trying to make sure he like is ready to go. He did the workout and did the physical. Now it's like, hey, we got him on the practice squad. We don't have to cut somebody. Let's see how he looks in practice.

• 37:57Travis Kelce?

  Who went in the game then? When Jones got hurt?

• 38:01Speaker 02

  Jones? I think it was the other kid, but I think he got hurt too.

• 38:04Travis Kelce?

  This whole time we've just been asking each other questions. We don't know.

• 38:09Speaker 02

  The guy who went in for Darren Jones, Riley Leonard got injured as well. That's what I thought. Now they potentially could be under their fourth string guy. And that's when you make a call to grandpa. Hey, grandpa, can you save the day?

• 38:19Travis Kelce?

  When you have to rely on the fourth string, you go out and get a 44 year old.

• 38:25Speaker 02

  It's a lot of fours here.

• 38:26Travis Kelce?

  Put the F's up, put the F's up.

• 38:28Speaker 02

  James Winston made his NFL analyst debut during the bye and it might just be as electric on TV as he is in the huddle. Let's take a look at this video.

• 38:38Speaker 05

  Ever since Liam Cohen has been getting recommendations on how to pronounce Duval the right way.

• 38:44Speaker 03

  He went Duval.

• 38:47Speaker 05

  How would you, how would you pronounce it, James? Duval.

• 38:50Speaker 03

  What's your Broadway one?

• 38:51Speaker 05

  Duval. They all work. The New York guy to me. But I got the Jack. You got the Jack.

• 38:58Travis Kelce?

  Electric.

• 38:59Speaker 02

  I mean, that dude's got a.

• 39:00Travis Kelce?

  One of the most entertaining human beings in the world. It doesn't matter what he's doing. He can literally just be walking down the street and talking to civilians about anything.

• 39:08Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 39:08Travis Kelce?

  And it's gonna be fucking hilarious. Everything he does with the camera on him is is fucking pure comedy.

• 39:13Speaker 02

  He's a charismatic motherfucker. No question about it. All right, let's wrap some stamps of the week here. Stamp of the week is brought to you by Amazon.

• 39:21Travis Kelce?

  Amazon, how about it?

• 39:23Speaker 02

  Let's see this six year old that delivers ten stiff arms clip. Jesus. How big is this kid's head, by the way?

• 39:31Travis Kelce?

  Oh, no.

• 39:32Speaker 02

  Like, his helmet looks bigger than everybody else's. Oh, my God.

• 39:35Travis Kelce?

  This is why they made weight limits in the leagues.

• 39:38Speaker 02

  Yeah, this is why you weren't allowed to. They had to get rid of the weight limits because it was, oh, my Lord.

• 39:45Speaker 02

  Like, everybody else looks like little giants. This is Spike. Like, there's a real life version of Spike. Yeah. This kid gets it the worst. He gets it there, and then he's not even up able to tackle him. He gets it.

• 39:57Travis Kelce?

  The pro move right there. Don't even let him get up.

• 40:00Speaker 02

  These aren't even stiff arms. They're just like, like mushits. He's just like throwing them with one arm. Good Lord.

• 40:11Speaker 02

  I'll give the stamp of the week. This is amazing. I'll go with that one right there. Hard to think there's gonna be a better clip than that.

• 40:17Travis Kelce?

  I might just beat it right here. Wyoming students built a a beer snake to honor Josh Allen at his jersey retirement.

• 40:25Speaker 02

  What is a beer snake?

• 40:27Travis Kelce?

  You've never seen a beer snake?

• 40:29Speaker 02

  No.

• 40:29Travis Kelce?

  At a ballgame?

• 40:30Speaker 02

  No.

• 40:31Travis Kelce?

  It's it's when you put all the cups. Yeah, all the beers that have been drank.

• 40:36Speaker 02

  And then you just.

• 40:37Travis Kelce?

  You you collect them. You see how long, yeah.

• 40:40Speaker 02

  It's pretty dope.

• 40:41Travis Kelce?

  It's pretty fucking sweet. It was going all the way up to the second level. That's fucking epic.

• 40:47Speaker 02

  It's awesome.

• 40:48Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, that's a lot of fucking beers consumed, and I'm proud of you, Wyoming.

• 40:51Speaker 02

  That's really the, that's the what the stamp of the week is. Not for stacking the cups. It's for drinking the beer necessary to be able to stack the cups.

• 40:59Travis Kelce?

  Exactly.

• 41:00Speaker 02

  You guys having good energy in that game, I guarantee it. Stamp of the week. Well done, Trev.

• 41:05Travis Kelce?

  That does it for stamp of the week, brought to you by Amazon. Keep those beer snakes rolling, baby. And all you, uh, big little kids, you keep stiff arming everyone.

• 41:17Speaker 02

  All right. Thank you to our partner, DraftKings. And I don't know if you guys knew this, but Jake and Brandon attended the DraftKings tailgate at the Chiefs game over the weekend to celebrate them being alive in Missouri. That's right.

• 41:28Speaker 03

  We were there.

• 41:28Speaker 02

  Jake, Brandon, how was it? How'd it go, boys?

• 41:30Speaker 03

  It was sick. The tailgate was sick.

• 41:33Speaker 02

  I saw some really good videos of Brandon. He looked like he was definitely having fun.

• 41:38Speaker 03

  Yeah, I had, I had a few, I had a few funds. I had a few funds.

• 41:41Speaker 02

  Few funds.

• 41:42Speaker 03

  I saw you insult my dancing, which was great.

• 41:44Speaker 04

  Yep.

• 41:45Speaker 02

  I, well, I mean, I didn't, it wasn't insulting. I was more like coaching. I think it's, you know,

• 41:49Speaker 03

  It felt, it felt like, you know, I did not maybe.

• 41:51Speaker 02

  Just need a little bit more pep in the step. It just needed some more energy.

• 41:55Speaker 03

  It was very cold, Jason. I was very cold and very tired.

• 41:58Speaker 02

  Good reason to have more energy.

• 42:00Speaker 04

  The tailgate was also like a family event, so it wasn't necessarily the best place for hip thrusts, which is I think what you were getting at.

• 42:06Speaker 03

  I had to keep it PG.

• 42:07Speaker 02

  Know your surroundings. Know your surroundings.

• 42:09Speaker 03

  Missouri's not ready for this. They're ready for DraftKings. They're not ready for my hip thrusts. Everybody at the KC tailgate was great. So all the 92% that came up to us, lovely to meet you.

• 44:25Speaker 02

  Horse males, no dumb questions. Let's get to them.

• 44:29Travis Kelce?

  All right, do the, uh, do the forge parent signatures.

• 44:32Speaker 05

  Hi, Jason and Travis. This is Stephanie from Minnesota.

• 44:35Speaker 02

  Hey.

• 44:36Speaker 05

  As we're coming into the holiday season, I got a text through my teenage daughter with my forged signature on a permission form the other day. And I'm just calling to ask if either of you ever forged any of your parents' signatures on anything school related? And how that went over with your parents? I definitely forged my mom's signature on my band practice sheets in high school. So let me know if you did any of that. Thanks.

• 45:07Speaker 02

  Trav, I'll let you take this away because I know you at least have done some forgeries.

• 45:12Travis Kelce?

  I've done this on countless. I literally cannot count how many times I've forged my parents' signature. Let's start off, what was, uh, well, the one that stands out to me the most was actually... Kind of one of the coolest opportunities that I I ever had in in middle school in my first couple I was either in eighth grade or ninth grade and um the Atlanta Braves were hosting a showcase in Lakewood, Ohio, and I was over my friend's house and my friend's older brother was going to the showcase because he was out of high school and he just wanted to like give one last chance of like getting in

• 45:53Travis Kelce?

  front of some scouts and they were holding an open trial, but you had to be either 18 or older or you had to have your parents there.

• 46:00Speaker 02

  Signature.

• 46:01Travis Kelce?

  Signature is saying that this is my guard, I'm the guardian or I'm the parent guardian.

• 46:05Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 46:06Travis Kelce?

  And I just said, fuck it. I'm just gonna write Kelsey's name down here. I knew his number. Just put the house address down there and sure enough, I went out there and got on the mound and like was like pumping like mid 80s and they're like, how old are you? I'm like 13, 12, 13. And they were like, I'm sorry, what? Your kid, you're six foot and you're 13 and you're pumping 80. That's and one of the scouts there just so happened to be from Cleveland Heights. His name is Reggie Sanders.

• 46:39Speaker 02

  Oh, nice.

• 46:40Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. And he uh he pulled me over. He's like, is this, is your parents here? And I was like, no, they're not here. And it was like, kind of, I'm pretty sure it was illegal for like them to like talk to a kid that age, something like that. So yeah, no, but I got uh got Big Ed on the on the phone call real quick and uh got told, don't fucking do that ever again.

• 47:04Travis Kelce?

  But countless amount of field trips.

• 47:06Speaker 02

  Initiative right there.

• 47:07Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. Also in middle school, I used to forge uh Big Ed's signature on uh on the report cards. Because the report cards you had to like, yeah, they had to be seen by the parents and everything. And I'd be like, I'm not fucking showing dad this. He'd be.

• 47:21Speaker 02

  He's not gonna be happy. I'm just.

• 47:22Travis Kelce?

  He's not gonna be happy. Yeah, he'll just figure out when I'm ineligible.

• 47:25Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 47:27Speaker 02

  I never forged a signature, I don't think, but I did. Try to forge his voice.

• 47:34Travis Kelce?

  Oh, well, you know, this one real well.

• 47:36Speaker 02

  Yeah, that one's already been told on the podcast.

• 47:38Travis Kelce?

  Same Patty's day, yeah.

• 47:39Speaker 02

  That's right. Mrs. Clark, our, our good friend, Harry Clark's mom was in charge of the attendance at Cleveland Heights High School. St. Patrick's Day, I wanted to go to the parade downtown and I called the Cleveland Heights High School.

• 47:53Travis Kelce?

  I don't even know if she was in charge of the attendance. She was just, she was like, she was working the office and when Jason called the office, she was the one that answered. She's like,

• 48:02Speaker 02

  That might have been it. Yeah.

• 48:03Travis Kelce?

  Jason, who is this? Travis?

• 48:06Speaker 02

  No, she said, I said, hey, Mr. Clark, this is Ed Kelsey. Jason's sick. He's not going to be able to come into school today. And she said, who is this? This is not Ed Kelsey.

• 48:19Speaker 02

  Travis, is this you?

• 48:20Travis Kelce?

  Oh, shit.

• 48:22Speaker 02

  So, yeah, I got a call from dad pretty quickly after that.

• 48:24Travis Kelce?

  Too good.

• 48:25Speaker 02

  What's the next one?

• 48:26Speaker 05

  Hi, it's Eva from Allentown, PA. If you could describe each other's personalities as any drink, what would it be?

• 48:34Speaker 02

  I'll go first. I already know it.

• 48:37Travis Kelce?

  Mine?

• 48:38Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 48:39Travis Kelce?

  Don't fucking.

• 48:40Speaker 02

  You already know where I'm going. Kind of three.

• 48:43Travis Kelce?

  One, no, I don't, I don't know where you're going.

• 48:45Speaker 02

  You know exactly what I'm about to say.

• 48:48Travis Kelce?

  What?

• 48:48Speaker 02

  Probably good advertisements for them. We both say drink Rads beer. One, two, three, Four Loko. Four Loko.

• 48:59Speaker 02

  Just energy.

• 49:00Travis Kelce?

  Just brand juice. Yeah, no, I get it. Yeah. I mean, I drink accelerators with tequila. So.

• 49:07Speaker 02

  It's essentially the same thing.

• 49:09Travis Kelce?

  What is Jason? If I'm a Four Loko, you're like a, you're like a Jäger bomb.

• 49:17Speaker 02

  Oh, my God.

• 49:18Travis Kelce?

  You're a fucking Jäger bomb.

• 49:19Speaker 02

  I just had my first Jäger bomb in a long time.

• 49:23Speaker 02

  It wasn't even a Jäger bomb. It was just a shot of Jäger in Wisconsin.

• 49:28Speaker 02

  For some reason, they drink it at the freaking supper clubs up there.

• 49:32Travis Kelce?

  As good as you remembered?

• 49:33Speaker 02

  It's exactly what I remembered and it's it's probably one that I probably hopefully won't have for another. I'm not a big liquor drinker. Everybody always wants to buy shots. I'm like, dude, if I drink this beer, I will not get to a point that I will am going to be upset about. If I drink these shots, this whole thing could go sideways in a second if I start just doing shots with people. I'm not, I'm not interested. Give me my garage beer. I'll be happy.

• 49:55Travis Kelce?

  All right, I'll take some shots.

• 49:57Speaker 02

  How often should you wash the towel after you use a shower? It starts to smell, really? It starts to get crusty and hard, then it's time to replace it.

• 50:05Travis Kelce?

  I mean, you're just washing the, you're, you're clean. So it's like, that being said, I use a clean towel every time. But I mean, I understand if like.

• 50:13Speaker 02

  You use a clean towel every, you like, you only use a towel once?

• 50:17Travis Kelce?

  Yeah.

• 50:18Speaker 02

  Wow. It's very wasteful, Travis. Uses up a lot of.

• 50:21Travis Kelce?

  Is it?

• 50:21Speaker 02

  Yeah. Using a lot of energy to wash these towels.

• 50:24Travis Kelce?

  I also have a lot of towels.

• 50:27Travis Kelce?

  I fucking went out and got a.

• 50:29Speaker 02

  Don't you read the disclaimers at the, the hotels? If you, if you reuse the towel, it's better for the environment. I gotta say, some of these environmental things, I am, I'm getting to the point that.

• 50:39Travis Kelce?

  Give me a hot one. Something, something ruined you earlier. What is it?

• 50:43Speaker 02

  Paper straws.

• 50:44Travis Kelce?

  Paper straws are so fucking annoying. Don't, if I get a paper straw, I'll just take the lid and the straw off and I'll just drink the drink. Have you ever adapted to a metal straws?

• 50:54Speaker 02

  Yeah. I don't like the way that feels either. Just give me the fucking plastic straw.

• 51:00Speaker 02
