Travis is a YAC man, Jalen Played QB, Ring Memes + Matt & Woody Are Brothers? | EP 203

92%ers, welcome to another episode of New Heights brought to you by Reese’s! Today we are joined by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson! But first, we go through our favorite reactions to our Tom Cruise episode, recap the Chiefs win in overtime, react to some of our favorite “That’s my husband” memes, celebrate Travis breaking another record, Jason breaks down the Eagles nail-biter in Nashville, debate the best way to beat the feet heat, and try to figure out what exactly is a “piss missile.” Finally, we are joined by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson! They tell us the wild backstory behind their new show “Brothers,” how close they came to taking a DNA test, the origins of the iconic friendship over a bloody game of ping pong, why you shouldn’t “bare bones it,” why the brothers you choose are closer than family, the life changing ability of your first born, and some incredible ‘Welcome to Hollywood” moments.

  You're a yak man.

• 0:58Speaker 02

  I'm a yak man. I was so fired up when I saw Brandon put that in the rundown.

• 1:03Travis Kelce?

  That was a brilliant segment and I appreciated that.

• 1:07Speaker 02

  We need a social edit from the team with Travis over Scatman Jim or whatever his name was, face. I'm a yak man. We can definitely do some stuff with AI and all that stuff. Everybody loves AI, right?

• 1:26Travis Kelce?

• 2:05Speaker 02

  We got a great episode for you guys. I will be representing the NH from CH. Ninety percenters, we're going to react to the Tom Cruise episode. We got all of the week two in the NFL, little reactions coming up here. Chiefs overtime win, Eagles come back in Nashville. And then of course, the highlight of this episode will be two absolute legends, Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson are here.

• 2:33Travis Kelce?

  Baby.

• 2:33Speaker 02

  Yeah, that's right. They're going to talk about their new show brothers, some wild stories from their frimships and so much more. All right, all right, all right. Let's get into it with some of that new news.

• 2:45Travis Kelce?

  New news.

• 2:46Speaker 02

  New news is brought to you by Xfinity. And in case you missed it, we dropped our Tom Cruise episode last week on Friday. Did you know Guillermo del Toro was a 90 percenter? Cause I did not know that. He retweeted the following.

• 3:00Travis Kelce?

  Travis and Jason understand the assignment, showed up with their game face on and mopped the floor. Cool question. Great vibe. Lots of laughs. Great conversation with Charisma King.

• 3:11Speaker 02

  Dude, this is awesome. Are you fucking kidding me?

• 3:14Travis Kelce?

  Thanks Tweety energy.

• 3:16Speaker 02

  Thanks to both.

• 3:17Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. And then Mr. Del Toro.

• 3:20Speaker 02

  Lights, camera, action. All right. Um, is there anything we wish we would have got to? I, I mean, listen, I could have talked to Tom. He's one of the most like conversational human beings I've ever met in my life.

• 3:32Travis Kelce?

  Without a doubt.

• 3:32Speaker 02

  Like even before the interview started, I'm like, dude, we could have been doing this podcast for the last hour.

• 3:39Travis Kelce?

  Seriously.

• 3:39Speaker 02

  The night before, that morning, he's a very inquisitive human being. Like Tom has, every time I've talked to him, has like a genuine interest in like who you are, why you do what you do, how you do it. And it lends itself really, really well to this type of format podcasting.

• 3:58Travis Kelce?

  Especially when, when you get them in person, man.

• 4:00Speaker 02

  So it was awesome to obviously talk about his movie Digger coming up. We were more than happy to talk about that because we loved both screening that movie. I'm trying to think of like, what I wish we would have asked him about. And I don't, I don't know.

• 4:12Travis Kelce?

  I wanted to ask him about all the right moves and whether, whether or not that was the first time he had ever put on football pads. We didn't even ask him if he played ball.

• 4:22Speaker 02

  Yeah. I mean, it would have been nice maybe to get to that.

• 4:25Travis Kelce?

  He had, do you remember this movie?

• 4:27Speaker 02

  Oh, I know what movie you're referencing. Yes.

• 4:30Travis Kelce?

  So it was, so he had on the neck roll with the, the inner tube neck roll.

• 4:36Speaker 02

  Yeah. Like the foam that would like go around.

• 4:39Travis Kelce?

  How funny is it looking at old like football pictures?

• 4:44Speaker 02

  Even just the shoulder pads.

• 4:45Travis Kelce?

  College game. That's what I'm saying. It is so funny to look and see what football was. I was watching the water boy the other day.

• 4:53Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 4:54Travis Kelce?

  And the sandman is out there with his like hip pads, the pants. First of all, the pants don't even fit. The knee pads are like down by the shins. The like thigh pads are like just above the knee and like the, the hip pads.

• 5:08Speaker 02

  Oh, yeah.

• 5:08Travis Kelce?

  Are sticking out of the pants and you could see them.

• 5:13Speaker 02

  Well, that's what the hip pads used to be. That's what I had. You had those in Roxboro middle school, right?

• 5:17Travis Kelce?

  100%. You would have to put them in the, but we always put them over though. I always put my jersey and pants over like he would.

• 5:25Speaker 02

  Yeah. I mean, he was doing it to be funny. Yeah.

• 5:27Travis Kelce?

  Right. But, but that's, but if the jersey was short enough, like that's just how, you know what I mean? Guys used to rock them back in the day.

• 5:34Speaker 02

  Do they still wear those style of hip pads in middle schools? Like, is that still right? That's, that's, that's long gone, right?

• 5:42Travis Kelce?

  It's gotta be. I feel like everybody nowadays has the.

• 5:46Speaker 02

  Like built in hexapad, like girdles.

• 5:48Travis Kelce?

  All that shit. Yeah. That's what I ended up using by my senior year of high school for sure.

• 5:53Speaker 02

  I feel like I stopped wearing hip pads a moment they said, you don't have to wear hip pads. What other pads have been made obsolete?

• 6:00Travis Kelce?

  The forearm shivers, man.

• 6:01Speaker 02

  Dude, the forearm, that's, I wore those.

• 6:03Travis Kelce?

  You used to love those things.

• 6:04Speaker 02

  I was a big Rudy fan. I put the forearm shivers on. It had like the cloth that would go through this finger so that it would stay on and it wouldn't like go to, it was like a pad on the back of the hand, all the way up the forearm.

• 6:15Travis Kelce?

  Dude, the forearm shivers. Nothing said, I'm about to fill the A gap like some forearm shivers.

• 6:21Speaker 02

  Yeah. Yeah. What else was there? There's a neck, the neck roll is, I mean, it gets brought back every once in a while. Not as prevalent as it used to be.

• 6:28Travis Kelce?

  It's still there. I see you guys rocking it every now and then. You'll get some O linemen that have stinger issues rocking the hump. You know what I mean? It's not necessarily as much of like what.

• 6:38Speaker 02

  Cowboy collar.

• 6:39Travis Kelce?

  The cowboy collar. It's crazy.

• 6:42Speaker 02

  Like, cause Saquon put it on this, this past week. He got a stinger first play of the game and he had the cowboy collar on. After that, nobody, nobody wears the cowboy collar that I see anymore where the jersey's up over it though. Like the water boy. I guess I did see Patrick Ricard. Patrick Ricard had a nice little neck roll going on.

• 7:00Travis Kelce?

  Ogletree from the, from the Colts had one on too. It's definitely still in it where the, the jersey comes over it, but the fucking, the one that like, was like, this dude is reckless and he is fucking batshit crazy is the one that just used to be a backboard.

• 7:18Travis Kelce?

  Just a backboard.

• 7:18Speaker 02

  You can't move your head at all. Your head is just stuck.

• 7:25Travis Kelce?

  Do you, so you don't need to look right or left. You're just going straight. It's like a horse blinders.

• 7:31Speaker 02

  Mobility is not important. Just being able to run through somebody and not break your neck is important.

• 7:37Travis Kelce?

  Anybody with that thing was fucking shit up.

• 7:41Speaker 02

  People love the line of scrimmage talk with Tom, the football talk. I think we should do more football talk with more of our guests. We get a lot of people from entertainment that I think sometimes we try to really highlight their careers and things that we think you guys would be interested in, but it turns out you guys just want to learn about football. So that's pretty cool. This is so good. Tom Cruise being randomly in this conversation makes it even better. So let's just keep bringing people into the, the nerdiness of ball. What, what would be another conversation to have with the, the problem is, the reason we did is because Tom was asking questions. Like he's just that type of guest.

• 8:16Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. If you get some good, if you give us some good questions, we're not, we're not afraid to talk some ball now.

• 8:21Speaker 02

  And Nate Tice also commented on the football discussions. God, I would have lost it if Tom Cruise was like, you gotta look to see if the safety is capping the nickel.

• 8:31Travis Kelce?

  You have to, man. Especially if you're at the end of that, that offensive line, man.

• 8:36Speaker 02

  It's important.

• 8:37Travis Kelce?

  You gotta make sure you keep the eyes over there. Listen, hey, we all got a job. We'd get somebody fucking killed.

• 8:42Speaker 02

  Nowadays, it feels like he's always capping the nickel.

• 8:44Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, there's a lot of too high.

• 8:45Speaker 02

  What else do you look at the nickel? Do you look at anything else?

• 8:48Travis Kelce?

  Corner.

• 8:48Speaker 02

  Pressed off and soft. DN tighter, tighter. DN will be one. If the nickel's pressed off, when you're split wide, that's one thing I've always wanted to know. The receivers can tell when the corner's blitzing. They say, cat, cat, cat, cat, cat, cat, cat, cat, cat, cat, cat.

• 9:04Travis Kelce?

  But they're never loud enough though. Go ahead.

• 9:06Speaker 02

  Well, said Devante Smith would be loud enough. He'd be screaming that motherfucker. I'd be like, oh, that corner's blitzing.

• 9:11Travis Kelce?

  I've never even heard Devante talk.

• 9:13Speaker 02

  Yeah, I know. It's surprising. That's why I was, that's why it stands out to me.

• 9:17Travis Kelce?

  It's like, oh shit, what'd he say?

• 9:18Speaker 02

  Oh shit, Devante's talking? Oh, cat. Um, what is?

• 9:23Speaker 02

  So cat is a corner blitz. How do receivers know when that corner is blitzing? What's, what are they looking at?

• 9:29Travis Kelce?

  Most corners are savvy players, right? You get some savvy alignment. They won't always just be right up in your grill with a great stance.

• 9:37Speaker 02

  Right.

• 9:38Travis Kelce?

  It's kind of like whenever you would try and like, uh, what is it you were talking about?

• 9:44Speaker 02

  Javon Hargrave leaning?

• 9:45Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, Hargrave leaning and all this like, uh, you trying to like entice the, the false start.

• 9:52Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 9:52Travis Kelce?

  It's kind of like you can, you could tell a guy is doing a little bit, something a little bit different.

• 9:57Speaker 02

  There's a disturbance in the, in the air, something the force is, is misaligned.

• 10:03Travis Kelce?

  Another one is, uh, deer in the headlights or deer on the lawn.

• 10:07Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 10:07Travis Kelce?

  All of a sudden you just see him freezing. He's not looking anywhere.

• 10:10Speaker 02

  We used to call it statue players. If a linebacker was just standing there, not moving, just looking, don't look at me. No one.

• 10:18Travis Kelce?

  I'm not doing anything. I ain't doing anything. Just hanging out over here, not looking suspicious.

• 10:25Speaker 02

  Blitz. Shout out Big Ed Kelsey for stopping, stopping by Operation Breakthrough, uh, story time.

• 10:33Travis Kelce?

  Dude, do you remember when dad used to read to us?

• 10:36Speaker 02

  I don't.

• 10:40Speaker 02

  Do you remember?

• 10:42Travis Kelce?

  Dad, why would, why do you read to everyone else except for me?

• 10:47Speaker 02

  Oh, so now that there's cameras around, you read to the kids. Oh.

• 10:53Travis Kelce?

  Uh, nah, man. He's just, he's having a good old time over at Operation Breakthrough, man. I'll tell you what, man. It is fun to go over there, man. Those kids are, they'll light up your life, man. They'll just make you feel the love and, uh, and how much they appreciate everyone that walks through those doors, man. But, um, shout out to Big Ed reading to the first graders. I think he came back this week and read to the second graders. So he's, uh, he's, he's on a reading tour, man.

• 11:18Speaker 02

  All right. We can get out of this segment. I think that is it for new news and it is brought to you by Xfinity. Travis, get us some bold topics, huh?

• 11:25Travis Kelce?

  Bold topics it is. Bold topics is brought to you by Allstate. That's right. You're in good hands with Allstate.

• 11:33Speaker 02

  You know, who's gotten out to a all start is the Kansas City Chiefs. Chiefs 33 Colts 30 overtime victory in Arrowhead. 2-0, Patrick Mahomes.

• 11:45Travis Kelce?

  2-0 feels real good, baby.

• 11:48Speaker 02

  What do we got? Mahomes 32 for 47, 382, three touchdowns. Travis Kelce going over the century mark. Kenneth Walker going over the century mark. Trav, what are your thoughts on the game from this past week?

• 12:00Travis Kelce?

  I'll tell you what, man, that Colts team, you better not sleep on them.

• 12:03Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 12:03Travis Kelce?

  They can play some fucking football, man. Um, they got good D line, good O line, great running back. Their wide receivers, man. Danny Dobbs, they seem like they're all on the same page. They got Keenan Allen over there, always, always finding a way to get open and underneath. And you know, they got good tight ends. Warren, Tyler Warren is another one. He's, he's a all, all around football player, you know? He's, he can inline block. He can stick his face in the fan and, uh, and block inline. And then on top of that, man, he's, he's a force with the ball and you know, he's always gonna, he's always gonna finish downhill in terms of when he gets hit.

• 12:39Travis Kelce?

  So, um, that's, that's a good football team, man. But I'll tell you what, I couldn't be more proud of how our team reacted to, to the, to the level of play that they were playing at. They came out, wanted the ball, got seven early. We came out, did the same thing. It was just, it was, there was never a doubt in our mind that we were gonna go and do our job. And obviously we got to clean a lot of things up. There's, there's always something to do better, uh, especially when you had, when you take a team into the last second into overtime to beat them. And we got to put up more touchdowns, right? You know, our defense is doing a good job of holding them to three and outs there. And I think like the third or fourth quarter, something like that. And, uh, we had opportunities to really, you know, put our foot on the gas pedal and, and run away with it.

• 13:20Travis Kelce?

  But the way we're playing football, how we're playing together, how we're showing up in big moments on big third downs. Can't say enough about Taekwon Thornton coming up huge on a, on a, on a couple of big time third downs. And the way Kenneth Walker is, is leading our team right now in the run game, man. It's, uh, that kind of energy is infectious.

• 13:38Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 13:38Travis Kelce?

  And, and it's, uh, it's, it's, it's leadness right now. It's, it's making us play that much harder for them.

• 13:44Speaker 02

  Yeah. What do you think is the biggest reason? Like obviously last year, the slow start 0-2, all of a sudden 2-0 this year. Looks like a completely different team. What is it as simple as adding Kenneth Walker? Is there more to that? It looks like more under center. The offense has changed quite a bit.

• 14:00Travis Kelce?

  It just feels like there's a lot more unity and, uh, you know, it may be just the, the, the, over the summer and all the acquisitions that we got. Not only the players, but the coaches, but just in the building, the determination and the mindset, there's, there's, there's a, there's a different feel from how we go to work during the week.

• 14:21Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 14:21Travis Kelce?

  Just our, our chemistry in the locker room and on the field and, uh, and everybody's just kind of playing off of each other. And it's a fun game when you're doing that, man. You get everybody all in on, on the, the guys next to them, success. And you know, playing their tail off for the, for the man's next to him, success. It's just, it's so much more fun, man. And, uh, and that's what you see right now. And then sure enough, man, you got Patty Mahomes out there, the good Texas gunslinger, man. He was fucking letting it rip.

• 14:51Speaker 02

  Right, right.

• 14:52Travis Kelce?

  A few of them caught me off guard, man. I gotta, I gotta get my fucking head around, but man, he's, uh, he's putting the ball where it needs to be. And he's getting that ball out on time, which is really helping out the offensive line too.

• 15:02Speaker 02

  Speaking of getting the ball to the big yeti, we got this picture. The yeti was out in Arrowhead. Colts brought him out. Who's this guy grabbing on your jersey right here? Bringing the yeti out.

• 15:12Travis Kelce?

  That's hilarious. I have no idea. Might be our guy, Sauce Gardner.

• 15:16Speaker 02

  Oh, nice. There we go.

• 15:17Travis Kelce?

  Friend of the show, friend of the Bearcats.

• 15:18Speaker 02

  Trav, we gotta see, we gotta show your touchdown. Let's put up the big Yeti's touchdown for everyone to see in all of its glory. You want to walk us through what's going on here?

• 15:26Travis Kelce?

  They're in a cover four, kind of just keep everything in front kind of defense and

• 15:30Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 15:31Travis Kelce?

  Cover four, the flats and the, and underneath is going to be open. So

• 15:36Speaker 02

  Right.

• 15:36Travis Kelce?

  You gotta find the void and then on top of that, just be on time with the QB. Pat put it right on the fucking money. Like I said, Pat was ball out on time, fast. In the guy's hands as fast as possible and let them get some work after the catch. And, um, sure enough, we got in the end zone there. Got Xavier blocking for me there on the outside and, uh, letting me get in the end zone.

• 15:56Speaker 02

  Not your best dive. You look like you're in between. You wanted to dive or just run in. You kind of just.

• 16:02Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. Well, Xavier did a great job of getting a body on a body. I thought I was gonna have to try and go over top and then I realized I didn't. And then I just looked like a fat old guy trying to get me in zone.

• 16:15Speaker 02

  Well, you didn't look like a fat old guy the rest of the game. And we have a special edition of this touchdown for a lot of people that probably have not heard this. One of Trav's favorites, we have the Korean call. Brandon, if you will.

• 16:27Travis Kelce?

  One of my favorites.

• 16:38Speaker 02

  Dude.

• 16:39Travis Kelce?

  Let's go, man.

• 16:40Speaker 02

  It's just so much more electric. I don't care if it's like Korean announcers, Mexican announcers, like gosh.

• 16:46Travis Kelce?

  All the Chiefs fans over there in Korea, baby. Let's go, man. Fire me up.

• 16:50Speaker 02

  So internet is also running wild with Trav, with Taylor's celebration. Let's take a look at this.

• 16:55Travis Kelce?

  My wife after I killed the spider she saw in our house. Nice. Yeah. Listen, you know what I mean? Just doing my deed as a husband. Me after failing to propel a parallel park in the same spot 10 times and he gets out to do it himself.

• 17:13Travis Kelce?

  That's too good. Me when my husband actually finds all the right stuff at the grocery store without calling me nice. Internet's having a good old time with this shit.

• 17:22Speaker 02

  These are awesome.

• 17:23Travis Kelce?

  My neurosurgeon breadwinner wife watching me shock my 11th beer of the night. Let's go, man. Listen, man. Proud wife, baby. You gotta make my girl proud.

• 17:34Speaker 02

  My girl, when the tour guide at the historical site says that I ask very good questions.

• 17:44Speaker 02

  My wife, when I figure out which alarm is chirping due to low battery and swap it out.

• 17:51Travis Kelce?

  Dude.

• 17:52Speaker 02

  That's a big one. There's nothing more annoying.

• 17:54Travis Kelce?

  I'm telling you, I fucking hate that.

• 17:56Speaker 02

  Those smoke alarms, ah.

• 17:58Travis Kelce?

  My wife, after I get cut off an hour into the open bar of the wedding night.

• 18:06Travis Kelce?

  That's him. He's gotta go home, but he, he gave it his all.

• 18:09Speaker 02

  My wife, after I break down seven delivery boxes without asking what in God's green earth she ordered.

• 18:19Travis Kelce?

  How I want my wife to react when I fix the wifi by unplug it and plug it back in.

• 18:26Speaker 02

  That's, that's very good.

• 18:29Travis Kelce?

  It's a banger. Yeah.

• 18:30Speaker 02

  Very relatable.

• 18:30Travis Kelce?

  I am I T.

• 18:31Speaker 02

  What do we think about the Colts decision to kick the field goal in OT and give Pat another drive to win? Fourth and eight, fourth and eight. I mean, obviously now that we're talking about it right here, probably shouldn't have done that. Probably should have gone for fourth, but uh.

• 18:46Travis Kelce?

  See, that's the thing. When you know you're going second.

• 18:50Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 18:50Travis Kelce?

  By the way, by the way.

• 18:51Speaker 02

  Yeah, we're gonna talk to it. We're gonna get to it. We're gonna get to it.

• 18:53Travis Kelce?

  Coin toss was crazy.

• 18:54Speaker 02

  We're gonna, we're gonna get to it. We're gonna get to it.

• 18:56Travis Kelce?

  We can't baby.

• 18:57Speaker 02

  Hold on. We're gonna get to it. Let's stay focused here first. It's up next.

• 19:02Travis Kelce?

  That was so crazy. Um, I think that when you do accept that you're going to be the team going second and you have it in front of you on whether or not, you know what I mean? The decision is, do I tie it? Do I went to, or do I, you know, try and guarantee myself the win? I, I just feel like you gotta go for it.

• 19:21Speaker 02

  Yeah. No, I hear you.

• 19:22Travis Kelce?

  When you know what's in front of you to win the game.

• 19:26Speaker 02

  In one instance, the game is in your control to try and win, right? And then the other one, it's like, we're basically getting a tie at best if we kick the field goal. The fourth and eight is a little one that gives me some of a pause. Like I, if, I think if it's fourth and five, it's a no brainer or less.

• 19:44Travis Kelce?

  You think three yards? No.

• 19:47Speaker 02

  I think fourth and eight.

• 19:48Travis Kelce?

  Cause, cause you're already in the red zone. You gotta defend.

• 19:51Speaker 02

  But that's why I think, but this, that's why I think.

• 19:53Travis Kelce?

  You gotta defend the end zone.

• 19:54Speaker 02

  That's why I think eight is harder because the end zone is shrinking that distance where they were at. I'm saying I probably still would have gone for it too. I guess maybe. I don't know what I fucking done. It's easy for me to say now I would have gone for it. But I think if it's fourth and five, there's a little bit more space with how condensed that area is because of the end zone. Fourth and eight, those safeties aren't going to be backing up very much, man, because of where it was in relation.

• 20:18Travis Kelce?

  I think they're gonna be, if you think about red zone defenses, the hardest ones are the ones that are playing in the end zone and keeping everything in front.

• 20:25Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 20:26Travis Kelce?

  Because they don't want anything in the, like to give up in the end zone.

• 20:29Speaker 02

  I think the safeties would have been in the end zone, but I think those hook to curl players would have been sitting at eight and there's not going to be any space because of the condensed, I don't know.

• 20:39Travis Kelce?

  I don't know, man. I don't know. I think, I think because you're so close to the red zone, you could, you got a quarterback that can sling it, tight windows, a red zone, a good, like a good red zone kind of defenses, keep everything in front. And even the underneath guys back up to like, they used to call it red zone seven, where the guys would literally just sit right on the goal line and just keep everything in front of them.

• 21:05Speaker 02

  But I think that they would have treated that like the first down marker and the, and the safeties would have been behind it. Either way, you, I'll, I'll defer to you because you know way more about coverages. I just thought where they were at in the field makes fourth and eight even harder as opposed to being like, if it would have been fourth and eight from the 40, it's like, oh yeah, we'll, we'll go for this all day.

• 21:24Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. I think fourth and eight overtime, knowing that you gotta score a touchdown to win the game. I think you, I don't know. I would, I would be in favor of if like everybody in the class, raise your hand if you want to go for it. I'd be like, it's fucking.

• 21:39Speaker 02

  That's kind of the way players always, I, I would have always been go for it. Come on now. I don't want to give them the ball back. What am I gonna give them the ball back?

• 21:45Travis Kelce?

  Fucking punt the ball to them?

• 21:46Speaker 02

  Yeah. Let's get to what you wanted to talk about, uh, before we, I just kind of put pause on it. We got a no dumb question about the OT coin toss. This is what Trav was referencing. For those of you that don't know, there were some shenanigans at the coin toss that Trav, I'll let you dive into. The no dumb question from BK for real 1989 is this week, no dumb questions, these are addressed, the defer situation because some dummies don't understand it. Not just dummies, some players don't understand. Uh, Brandon, uh, can you ask the bros on new heights to break it down? Maybe encourage a good old fashioned Jason. Oh, they want me to rant about it. I think Trav, you know more. I'll, I'll throw him a rant, but yeah, let's see, let's see what happened.

• 22:28Speaker 04

  NFL coin, the arrowhead is heads. The NFL shield is tails. What is your call? Called tails? It is tails. Would you like the ball? You like the ball? You like play defense? We like to kick. We like to kick off. We like to kick.

• 22:47Speaker 04

  You want to go?

• 22:48Travis Kelce?

  That boy Pat was locked in.

• 22:50Speaker 04

  Indianapolis long toss. They'll play defense. Kansas City will attack this ball.

• 22:57Speaker 02

  So good. Patty, Patty was locked in. He, he, yeah, he's not, yeah.

• 23:03Travis Kelce?

  I'll tell you what, I don't even know if defer is something you could say in that situation.

• 23:09Speaker 02

  It's not.

• 23:10Travis Kelce?

  So by him saying defer, the ref was like, that's not one of your options.

• 23:15Speaker 02

  For those of you that don't know what the options are at the coin toss, at the beginning of the game, the ref will flip the coin. Whoever wins a toss has one of three options. You can either receive, meaning you taking the ball. You can either defer, which actually is meaning I want to choose in the second half, whether I want the ball or not. Or you can choose to kick. No one ever chooses kick because if you kick in the first half, you forfeit your choice in the second half, and then the other team can get two extra, an extra possession.

• 23:52Travis Kelce?

  Kim Tebow, I believe did kick. I think, I think he's notorious for being the only person ever to say kick.

• 23:59Speaker 02

  No, no, no. There's been more than that. There's, it's actually been such a problem that at the kick, at the coin toss now, that the ref will like not even, yes, the same thing that happens because it's happened so much. Guys fuck it up. They, especially

• 24:14Travis Kelce?

  Listen, man, that's, you're in a big moment.

• 24:17Speaker 02

  The coaches don't have to put you out there. You're fucking this up. That's on you.

• 24:22Travis Kelce?

  It's a big moment. There's a lot of eyes on you. Not a lot of people are used to that much. You know what I mean? Pressure to be, say the right thing at the right time. They could like, they could kind of like startle you in a second. Like, wait, what did coach say? And then all of a sudden the pressure's on, the clock's ticking. You're just like, kick.

• 24:42Speaker 02

  Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Well, and it's, it's made worse too, with like a lot of teams. I know Andy's this way. A lot of it's game day captains. So like you get captains out there that aren't even used to making these decisions. And then all of a sudden they're just like, oh, we want to kick. It's like, fuck, now we just lost a possession and do halves. So this one's a little bit different because like Trav said, in overtime, defer isn't even an option. Like it's not a choice you can make.

• 25:09Travis Kelce?

  There's no, you're not deferring.

• 25:11Speaker 02

  There's no second half to defer to.

• 25:12Travis Kelce?

  There's no point in winning the, the toss.

• 25:15Speaker 02

  Well, there's nothing, there's no, there's nothing to defer to. The reason you defer, the reason you defer in the first half is because you want to choose in the second half. There's not a second half of overtime. So deferring is kind of pointless, but that'll help them out in the regular one now too. And I'm like, dude, I kind of on board with like, you say the wrong thing. I think you should be penalized for that.

• 25:35Travis Kelce?

  You said, there ain't no babying around here, man. We ain't gonna walk you through this.

• 25:39Speaker 02

  So that's a shenanigans that happened at the coin toss. A lot of, a lot of people don't really know what's happening. Trav.

• 25:47Travis Kelce?

  Jay.

• 25:47Speaker 02

  You're a yak man. Skibidi, di, dum, da dum. Skibidi, di, dum, da dum. Dum, dum, ba, ba, ba, ba, bee, ba, ba, ba, da, bo. Ba, ba, ba, da, bo, ba, ba, bee, ba, ba, ba, da, bo. Ba, ba, ba, da, ba, ba, ba, bee, ba, ba, ba, da, bo.

• 26:03Travis Kelce?

  Boom.

• 26:04Speaker 02

  Ba, ba, ba, da, bo.

• 26:05Travis Kelce?

  Boom. Sorry.

• 26:07Speaker 02

  I'm a yak man.

• 26:11Speaker 02

  I was so fired up when I saw Brandon put that in the rundown. I thought it was genius.

• 26:15Travis Kelce?

  That was a brilliant segment and I, I appreciate that.

• 26:18Speaker 02

  We need a social edit from the team with Travis over scat man Jim or whatever his name was face. I'm a yak man. We can definitely do some stuff with AI and all that stuff. Everybody loves AI, right? Um, Trav passed Marshall Falk for most yak yards of all time, which is fucking crazy.

• 26:37Travis Kelce?

  This is by far the craziest and I honestly like, one of like the coolest.

• 26:43Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 26:43Travis Kelce?

  Accomplishments I've ever had.

• 26:45Speaker 02

  Did you know you were this close?

• 26:47Travis Kelce?

  I had no idea I was even in the ballpark.

• 26:49Speaker 02

  Yeah, I just came out of nowhere.

• 26:51Travis Kelce?

  I didn't know I was top five, top 10, top like ever. Like I didn't, I would have, I would have guessed there were so many more. And it's kind of ironic that it's a running back that leads this list. I mean, obviously Terrell Owens was on there as well. Larry Fitz was on there as well. Um, I mentioned it to a, to a few reporters after the game. It's like, I grew up watching a guy like Terrell Owens take slants to the fucking house and be like, man, it must be really cool to be that fast and do that kind of stuff with a football in your hand. You know what I mean? Like I, like I looked at Larry Fitz was like, one of the first college football games I ever went to. The, it was when you were getting recruited by Pittsburgh and we went to that Notre Dame pit game. Seeing

• 27:34Travis Kelce?

  him in person is like, man, that's a big son of a buck. Like running around and just unbelievable at football. And to be in the conversations with those guys and like, to be in like, just that world. Um, um, obviously I'm not saying that I'm any bit of the same players, the, those guys, but I'm, what I'm saying is that it's pretty cool to be in the conversations of a stat like this. Now, obviously I've had unbelievable play calling. I've had unbelievable players around me blocking downfield. You don't get this kind of stuff without having the, the guys around you to, to help you get these yards. But at the same time, man, it's a pretty cool, uh, pretty cool stat to be a part of that. When

• 28:16Travis Kelce?

  I got the ball in my hands, I'm doing, I'm doing, you know, the most I can with it. And it's, it's proven throughout the, the history of the NFL that I've been, uh, I've been pretty good at it. So.

• 28:25Speaker 02

  I think this is the greatest record you have. I really do. Dude, yak, yak was, and it's, I guess, I don't hear it referenced as much nowadays. Like yak, when we were growing up was like a huge stat that everybody talked about, like this guy, not only is he catching the ball, but what do you do after you get, how much are you adding to the play yourself? Um,

• 28:45Speaker 02

  Absolutely insane. Marshall Falk, Terrell Owens, Larry Fitz, like all the guys that were also up there in the top five. And to think that you're the number one player in the history of the NFL with the most yards after catch is fucking crazy. It's, it's awesome. It's, it's the least bunged stat I think you could have.

• 29:02Travis Kelce?

  Damn, I'm the Yak man.

• 29:04Speaker 02

  I'm the Yak, you're the Yak man.

• 29:08Travis Kelce?

  My guy, Harry Clark had me take a, take a shot of some Yak.

• 29:13Speaker 02

  Oh, there you go. There you go.

• 29:15Travis Kelce?

  After the game with him, man, that was pretty good.

• 29:17Speaker 02

  Andy Reid shout out. I see Kelsey broken on the record, hangs around long enough. He'll break all of them.

• 29:23Travis Kelce?

  That's the thing.

• 29:24Speaker 02

  That is, that is pretty true.

• 29:26Travis Kelce?

  You play long enough, you're going to get close to, to some records, man. Shout out to Big Red for dialing me up.

• 29:32Speaker 02

  I didn't think Marshall would be number one in Yak when you think about it. But when you do, like go back to the plays in your head of what made him so special, he was like the greatest pass catching running back of all time.

• 29:48Travis Kelce?

  Ever. And I don't think it's even close.

• 29:51Speaker 02

  No. Yeah. So, and all of those, a lot of those are little flat routes that he's making guys miss and freaking taking to the house screens.

• 29:59Travis Kelce?

  Give him one man to beat. Give him one, get him in a situation where he's got to make one guy miss and you're fucking cooking. It was a huge part of the greatest show on turf because you couldn't just put safeties back there and like the second level guys like dropping coverage because you got to deal with fucking Marshall Falk underneath.

• 30:19Speaker 02

  Dude, I always thought when we had, similarly, when we had Darren Sproles, we would be doing all these things and all this. I was like, hey, guys, how about when it's man covered, you just put the ball into Darren's hand out in the flat because ain't no fucking chance a 250 pound linebacker is going to tackle that motherfucker in the open space. Like, what are we even talking about right now? All right. Only player in NFL history to record at least 12,000 rushing yards and 6,000 receiving yards in his career. Marshall Falk. I mean, just the greatest all purpose back of all time. Jesus. Some other highlights. We got Emmett Johnson made three Colts tackle themselves. Let's take a look at this.

• 30:57Travis Kelce?

  Hey, shit. Let's fucking go, man.

• 31:02Speaker 02

  You're breaking ankles like that. Shush, shush, shush.

• 31:08Travis Kelce?

  Man, this guy has shown up every single chance he's gotten and he is really opening some eyes, man. And it's cool to see how he attacks the day. Now granted, he's got a fucking all pro right in front of him. All pro athlete, all pro, you know what I mean? How he handles his job, how professionally he is in the building, how hard he works in practice. He's seeing how it's done the right way and how that's being, you know what I mean? Reciprocated onto the field. All he knows is this. So it's cool to see him get that leadership in that room from a guy like Kenneth Walker. But at the same time, man, he's, uh, he's taken his opportunities and he's absolutely ran with it and he's

• 31:49Travis Kelce?

  fucking having fun out there, man. He's having fun out there making plays for us, man.

• 31:54Speaker 02

  No doubt. I mean, it's, it's been fun watching him and you can only do the opportunities you're given, right? And it's awesome to see a guy, obviously he's got an incredible player, best running back in the league, probably through the first two weeks in front of him. But you still, you know, you got to make do with what you get. And he's making the most of the opportunities he is getting. It's been great to see all of these new pieces. Emmett Johnson, obviously Kenneth Walker, a little D line running back option. How about Kyris Tonga?

• 32:23Travis Kelce?

  Come on, KT. Come on, big dog.

• 32:26Speaker 02

  Let's see the big man in action.

• 32:27Travis Kelce?

  335.

• 32:31Travis Kelce?

  I'm not gonna lie, dude. He got that, he got that engine running and I was like,

• 32:37Speaker 02

  not going to be denied.

• 32:38Travis Kelce?

  At all, man. Yeah. Let's go.

• 32:42Speaker 02

  What's funny is for years, you guys have been doing that with a halfback because you don't have a fullback and sometimes not even have back in the backfield. He just moves up into that little offset position and you run the fullback dive play. Now we actually got one in the game and Buddy is coming downhill like a freaking freight train. Good luck stopping that for a yard. My goodness.

• 33:07Travis Kelce?

  He's done a great job on a lot of the short yardage stuff on just blocking and sure enough, man, and Coach Reid's offense, if you're going to go out there and, and, and play, play your tail off, man, he's going to find a way to get you the ball in a, in a situation where it benefits your, uh, your, uh, your skillset, man.

• 33:24Speaker 02

  Fullbacks are coming back. And I mean, listen, this is another example of how much the Chiefs offense has shifted. I mean, short yardage, this, this play hasn't shifted. This is a play you guys have been running since Andy Reid and the dawn of time of him being in Kansas City, ran it in Philadelphia. But so much more is under center, so much more. Now there's a fullback incorporated, actual fullback, not a makeshift player. The power, you guys are running more power than I think anybody else in the league looks like. It has been awesome to watch all this stuff and I want to see more Kyris Tonga. I like, I'm a, I like the fullback.

• 33:58Travis Kelce?

  Come on now, baby.

• 33:58Speaker 02

  I like the man being in the backfield. Come on.

• 34:01Travis Kelce?

  It's fucking electric, man.

• 34:03Speaker 02

  All righty. Well, listen, Chiefs head to Miami next. Outstanding game, uh, start of the season, really. I mean, it's been, probably could not have been better for the Kansas City Chiefs. Huge rebound from last season. You decided to go to South Beach?

• 34:16Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, it's going to be even more humid than it is here. I heard it's a, it's like 20% more humidity down in Florida. Um, we've been, we've been working through some dog days in terms of the humidity here in KC, but, um, there's nothing like going down there to old South Florida. I've, I trained there a little bit, uh, maybe not South Florida, but, or maybe not South Beach or Lauderdale, but I, I trained down in Florida in the off season. So I've, I'm familiar with it and man, you can, uh, you better go down there hydrated and, uh, and, uh, and fueled up, man. We know Miami's, uh, they're, they're searching for a win.

• 34:48Speaker 02

  All right, all right. Can't wait to watch it.

• 34:52Speaker 02

  Thank you to our presenting partner, Reese's.

• 34:57Travis Kelce?

  Okay, be honest. When a guy scores and does the Lambo leap into the stands, is he celebrating or is he checking to see if any fans have any Reese's?

• 35:07Speaker 02

  Yeah. Because think about it, if you, uh, ran a full route, adrenaline pumping, you jump into the crowd during winter, there better be a Reese's waiting for you up there.

• 35:16Travis Kelce?

  That's the only logical explanation. Nobody's leaping into freezing cold stands for high fives. That's a Reese's mission.

• 35:24Speaker 02

  Look, pay close attention this season and you may realize everything happens for a Reese's.

You guys, you guys know anything like that?

• 36:21Speaker 02

  Uh, yeah. Well, we actually know.

• 36:23Travis Kelce?

• 37:40Travis Kelce?

  Let's get to a little Eagles versus Titans Eagles 24 Titans 20. How about it, man? I was not expecting the Eagles Titans game to be that close, but um.

• 37:55Speaker 02

  Yeah, I don't think anybody wanted it to be that close from Philadelphia.

• 37:57Travis Kelce?

  I'll tell you what, a lot of good things to take, take out of it, though.

• 38:00Speaker 02

  Here's the reality. I think it's hard to win in this league and you take them, you get them, they're playing. I think there's like a reading, it was like 140 or something like that on the turf for some stupid shit. Like people were pouring water on their fucking cleats. It was nuts down there. And this is a guy that, I mean, Robert Sala, he's beaten us twice. He beat us with the Jets, who we all know how good the Jets have been, right Jake? And then he also, they beat us last year in the playoffs when he was in DC over in, in San Fran. So Sala's defenses has given us issues and particularly they've given Jalen issues in the past, which is one of the reasons I was so happy actually in the game to see Jalen play. So I know he had the early pick six. You had another pick where Jeffrey Simmons almost took his head off while he was throwing it.

• 38:43Speaker 02

  That went a little bit more understandable, but overall, I mean, through the first two games, Jalen is the reason why they have won these two games. He has played in big moments. He's delivered the ball from the pocket. He's making big time throws.

• 38:56Travis Kelce?

  Going with fucking dimes.

• 38:57Speaker 02

  In this game in particular, man, Dontavion Wicks going off in both games. They obviously have chemistry right away. Unfortunately, Goddard goes down. He was having a great season up until the, the injury in this one.

• 39:08Travis Kelce?

  God, hate that for Dallas.

• 39:10Speaker 02

  I, I just, you know, it's been awesome to see Jalen play the way he has, especially against a defense like this that is really, all they've done really is rush for, push the pocket, keep Jalen in the pocket and make him throw against his own coverages. And he executed so well. So very happy for that part of the game.

• 39:31Travis Kelce?

  Well, 26 for 37 for 264, two tubs. That's a pretty damn good game, man. And like you were saying, man, when it, when it mattered most, he was putting the ball where it needed to go, getting the ball out.

• 39:45Speaker 02

  Well, not only when it mattered most, but those stats don't even tell you, like they had, the running game again was pretty non-existent. Like there were so many third down conversions. I think they're the number one team in third down yardage this year. And a lot of the reason for that is that they have to be. They're in third in ridiculous situations at a, a high clip. Now I, I like, I, they have nowhere to go but up in first and second down right now. But I think what, what Jalen has done in the circumstances he's been given and how well he's executed, I think is really, really well done. I'm glad you agree, Ellie.

• 40:23Travis Kelce?

  Head away, girl. Go Birds. I want to ask you, well.

• 40:28Speaker 02

  Hit me.

• 40:29Travis Kelce?

  So 2,000 yard rusher.

• 40:32Speaker 02

  Saquon Barkley?

• 40:35Travis Kelce?

  What is, why is it like to, to the fans that are like, why isn't it a 2,000 yard rusher every, like, why is it just a one thing? Like, you know what I mean?

• 40:45Speaker 02

  Just rush for 2,000 yards every year?

• 40:47Travis Kelce?

  Yeah. Like why, like what is the, what is, what do you think is the biggest thing? Is it just like, I mean, just it's, it's hard to fucking go back to back and have that much success in, in the league or?

• 40:59Speaker 02

  Let's take the 2,000 yard mark out because I think that's a incredible achievement. Let's just say a, a great running game, right? So from the 2,000 yard rushing season Saquon had in his first season with the Eagles, dating back to really since Jalen has been with the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles were a top five, number one, number two, number three team in the league rushing. A big reason for that, and this is one thing that I get, I get upset with. And I, I think Jeffrey Simmons is an amazing player and I get a lot of the analysts that try to evaluate Jalen. And they say like the quarterbacks, a big reason for that run game being so dominant is Jalen Hurts.

• 41:41Speaker 02

  And he has never gotten enough credit for that. He's a big reason why the offense has been able to function. And it was way different. It was not the complex things that the McVays and all these other guys do. But it was a really highly functioning offense for a long time. Now the passing game started to dwindle the last couple of years. Obviously they need to make a change, but the quarterback's threat to keep the ball, that gives you num, all you want in the run game is numbers to where they don't have an extra player. And you want angles, you want leverage. The quarterback being a threat to run the ball gives you that because you have added another player that can keep the ball. Whether it's a designed run or a read, and you, you can't be predictable with any of it. Otherwise you're going to get assassinated.

• 42:25Travis Kelce?

  More under center stuff, though. Yeah.

• 42:27Speaker 02

  This is a system this year. And last year, I really think this is all also one of the reasons they were one of the best running teams in the NFL. It's because they had one of the best offensive lines. Like the offensive line was very healthy for a long time. We had a lot of continuity. Last year, Landon Dickerson's hurt all over the place. Cam Jergens is hurt. Lane Johnson misses a bunch of games. It's really hard to be a great running team. When you have guys in and out of the lineup, you have backups playing. It's, it's difficult, no matter who the running back is and what the situation is. And then you compile that with Jalen Hurts not running the ball as much. So then teams aren't feeling as threatened in that category. So you're not getting the same advantageous looks. All of that is why it would happen last year. This year, they're going to a different system. Now, there were more shotgun runs this last week.

• 43:12Speaker 02

  There was more of like the, you know, one by three, you know, you got the bubble screen over here and the read like.

• 43:18Travis Kelce?

  RPOs, yeah.

• 43:19Speaker 02

  It was, they had a little bit more of that in this last week, it looked like. But in general, the offense is going to be more under center. It's more of the Sean McVay, Matt LaFleur, that whole tree. And the way they get numbers and angles is by utilizing formations, by utilizing boots and you gain numbers with motions and shifting guys around and improving angles that way. So it's just a different way to do it. They're still working on it and they're having the same thing happen that happened last year. Landon Dickerson was hurt the first game of this year, of the year. It didn't go well up front that game. Now, and I feel, I really do feel bad for Cam Jergens.

• 44:02Speaker 02

  Cam has been playing center for the last two years. He, yeah, he played guard, right guard. My last year in 2023, now all of a sudden he's going to go play left guard against probably the, if not the best, one of the top two. He is a, that dude is a beast. He is a fucking beast.

• 44:22Travis Kelce?

  You see that man walk onto a football field in his uniform, bro. You're just like, God damn, what the fuck are we about to get into today?

• 44:29Speaker 02

  And not only is he a beast, he's, he's a very bad matchup for a guy that stature wise really isn't a guard. And that's kind of what the Eagles have unfortunately in their depth right now. Landon's not in there. They don't have another 340 pound man to plug in there and to be a stout. Yeah. Your options are either slide Cam Jergens over, you put Drew Kendall in at guard, which they obviously elected to do Drew at center because Cam had played guard at a high level. Or you put Willie Lampkin in and Willie is very stout, but that is another wild card. It's really not the best case scenario. Like they don't have a true guard that has played a lot of snaps in the league.

• 45:12Speaker 02

  That is what you want in the stature of the position and measurables. And Jeffrey Simmons was wreaking havoc, man. It, he's a good player. I think that's, that's a tough situation for Cam to be put in. You know, I thought Drew played pretty well. But everybody kind of had their turn. But yeah, I think Cam having to go do that on the road against a premier player like that, very tough situation to be put in.

• 45:35Travis Kelce?

  Well, he prevailed. He prevailed.

• 45:38Speaker 02

  The team prevailed. I don't know.

• 45:39Travis Kelce?

  That's all, listen, maybe he ain't out there alone. I don't give a fuck. Yeah, fuck that.

• 45:44Speaker 02

  Simmons had his plays. Simmons had his plays.

• 45:47Travis Kelce?

  Listen, man, it's like, fuck, what are you going to do? Shaq's going to be in the paint. We got to figure out a way to win.

• 45:53Speaker 02

  All that being said, the run game this year, they're still getting used to the, if you put on the tape, and maybe this is something we can dive into. Aaron, I know we talked about doing some teach tape. I'd love to dive into some of these runs and talk about what's going right, what's going wrong. You know, I think that they're still getting used to the angles, how everything hits. It is a different offense and every rep you get, you just get a little bit better and more dialed in. And your aiming point, where, where the landmark is on the outside zone. The guard needs to get on top of the three technique and keep pushing to that front side number, right? If you go too far, it's going to split the double team or get behind you. If you go too light, little, then all of a sudden you're not displacing it enough. Or he's, you're, the ball's going to go outside you and he's going to be there to make the play.

• 46:37Travis Kelce?

  Yes.

• 46:38Speaker 02

  There's so many little, such small things that make a big deal in the run game working. And another reason the run game is so hard, just in general, is that everybody's got to be on the same page and run and going in the same lane. Like, listen, you got Randy Moss and you got a good quarterback, you're probably going to have a pretty good passing game. You're going to throw that bitch up to them. There's no running game in the league that has one good offensive lineman and one good, like, they all got to be doing their shit and it's all got to be in sync. And I think they're still getting used to that. It's become compounded by having to slide Cam out to a position that he hasn't played and wasn't comfortable this last week, playing a player like Jeffrey Simmons.

• 47:20Speaker 02

  But I anticipate this to get better. I do. And I think that once the run, what's the most encouraging to me is that if Jalen is playing like this, the way he has the two, first two weeks, that run game gets going, it's going to be a very fun offense to watch, uh, once that gets improved this season.

• 47:37Travis Kelce?

  Well, you guys got another all pro out of wide out. Might not be Randy Moss, but Smitty is a dog.

• 47:42Speaker 02

  Slim Reaper.

• 47:43Travis Kelce?

  Slim Reaper is a dog. He had 10 receptions for 117 and a touchdown. The guy is just, he's so smooth, man, in his routes and he's, and he's, he can make every catch there is. It was good to see him get out there and, and get dirty a little bit. It's just good to see Jalen have a connection with a guy out there, knowing they lost an unbelievable player in the, in the pass game, you know? And it's good to see him go out there and find somebody, connect with somebody. Um, and then still have success in the pass game, the way they've had these first two games. It was hot. Talking about pouring water on cleats. It was hot, man. The, everybody, the squirt squad was out there, man.

• 48:24Speaker 02

  Was out, yeah.

• 48:25Travis Kelce?

  The squirt squad was out there, man. I forgot about the squirt squad, man.

• 48:29Speaker 02

  Oh my gosh.

• 48:30Travis Kelce?

  That's taking it back to the first year, man. Look at this. What is this? I've never seen this.

• 48:36Speaker 02

  They, they, I talked to some of these guys. The turf was so hot, Trav.

• 48:40Travis Kelce?

  Listen, this is another reason. So do you know in Nashville, do you know in Nashville what the turf is?

• 48:48Speaker 02

  Uh, I mean, it's field turf, turf turf.

• 48:49Travis Kelce?

  No, they have a fucking, so instead of the rubber pellets, I don't know if it's changed, changed since, since I've last played there. Instead of the rubber pellets, they're, they use cork.

• 48:59Speaker 02

  Oh, nice. Does that heat up more than the rubber pellets?

• 49:02Travis Kelce?

  I, I have no idea. But I also think that's bogus, but turf in general radiates heat more than fucking grass ever will.

• 49:12Speaker 02

  I will say there were a number of guys that looked like they were slipping in the game. I don't know if that has to do with the court. I would, dude, when you get on that turf and it's hot and your feet start burning, that shit sucks. I, this is another reason I'm out on the turf, man. Fucking whatever. Let's not get, we don't need to get on turf. Um, I was like on WIP or something earlier in the week and I go, do you think the heat's gonna make a difference? I was like, ah, and everybody's playing the heat. And then in the fucking TV copy, they had like a thermometer and it said 157 degrees, which you pointed at the turf. I'm like, what the fuck? How is that even possible?

• 49:49Travis Kelce?

  You shouldn't be allowed to do that. You shouldn't be allowed to put players on a field that does that.

• 49:56Speaker 02

  I think Jergens said he switched cleats maybe like three times or something like I, that's crazy to me that it was that hot.

• 50:04Travis Kelce?

  Why, like, why, like, that's so insane to me that that is allowed. Like, you're allowed to put the product in a situation like that. NFL's got a fucking, they gotta figure something out for shit like that. That's insane.

• 50:18Speaker 02

  We gotta get some air conditioned fields. Come on, guys, we can, we can do it.

• 50:21Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, we gotta get something like, I understand if the turf drains water, but how does it fucking handle heat?

• 50:26Speaker 02

  Somebody said in the comments on Twitter, something like that, that you put, uh, like aluminum foil or tin foil under the like insole and somehow that deflects the heat down, which I thought was interesting.

• 50:38Travis Kelce?

  Doesn't make any fucking sense.

• 50:39Speaker 02

  No, it does make sense because it radiates the heat back downward. I'm telling you, it makes sense. It makes sense. Just gotta think about.

• 50:45Travis Kelce?

  No, if you put foil in the, in the heat, it gets hotter.

• 50:51Speaker 02

  Cause it's like a heat shield. No, no, it deflects the heat back down.

• 50:54Travis Kelce?

  It's not coming from the ground.

• 50:55Speaker 02

  Yes, it is. It's coming from the turf.

• 50:57Travis Kelce?

  It's coming from the sun.

• 50:58Speaker 02

  No, well, it's coming from the sun, heating the surface on the floor, which is why the bottom of your shoe is hot.

• 51:04Travis Kelce?

  No, your, the shoe's hot because of the rubber, because of the pellets.

• 51:07Speaker 02

  I think that there is some legitimacy to this claim, knowing.

• 51:12Travis Kelce?

  A little tip for hot turf. Put aluminum foil under your insert in your cleat.

• 51:19Speaker 02

  I think it.

• 51:20Travis Kelce?

  It will deflect the heat. Uh, a little tip for hot turf. Don't fucking put turf down on the fucking football field and it won't get hot enough to where you have to put aluminum fucking foil under in your fucking shoe. This is so dumb. This is so dumb. Tennessee is a fucking lovely place. They get, they, they kinda get four seasons, but they kinda don't. You could easily put grass down. Easily Eagles head to Chicago next week to face the, uh, maybe Caleb Williams and the Bears. Uh, Caleb was carted off.

• 51:59Speaker 02

  I will bet every dollar I have that Caleb Williams doesn't play in this game.

• 52:04Travis Kelce?

  Doesn't?

• 52:05Speaker 02

  Dude, there's no fucking way. He got carted off with a hamstring injury. There's no chance.

• 52:11Travis Kelce?

  If he ripped it off the bone, that's not a fun.

• 52:15Speaker 02

  He did it.

• 52:15Travis Kelce?

  It's not fun.

• 52:16Speaker 02

  Here's the, no, well, he wouldn't be week to week. He'd be out, he'd be on IR if he ripped it off the bone. I just think the only way, like he was crying with the Tyler's in. So the only way that happens is if you thought it was ripped off the bone on the field. Right? Cause if it's ripped off the bone, hamstring injuries, like, don't go shitting on hamstring injuries. Like those things fucking suck. And if you rip it off the bone, that can be like a career altering injury. Don't have it.

• 52:41Travis Kelce?

  Yes, fuck that.

• 52:44Speaker 02

  If he has that kind of reaction, that leads me to believe it was pretty fucking serious down there on the field. And the fact that the MRI came back better than you would think, I still like playing with a hamstring that hurt that bad in the moment? Hammys don't usually heal up like that and it's gonna be a naggy one, I bet. I'd be shocked if he plays this week. Coming from Dr. Kells.

• 53:08Travis Kelce?

  Dr. Kells, the man who tore his hamstring and still finished the beer bowl.

• 53:12Speaker 02

  I was about to say, I got a grade two and kept playing beer pong, Caleb.

• 53:17Travis Kelce?

  Beer pong.

• 53:18Speaker 02

  Really active hamstring activity.

• 53:21Travis Kelce?

  Hate to see it, man. Hate to see it.

• 53:23Speaker 02

  Either way, it's gonna be a tough test. Bears, uh, put up 50, what, nine the first week?

• 53:27Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, they ran the fuck out of the ball the first week.

• 53:30Speaker 02

  Correct. And they're, the, both running backs and the offensive line, I believe is still healthy. They're still gonna be a very good team. Ben Johnson is one of the best schemers in the league.

• 53:40Speaker 02

  Big test for the Eagles Monday night. I can't wait cause I get to go and get some of that Chicago food too. Oh my God. It's the best. It's so good.

• 53:49Travis Kelce?

  I haven't been to Chicago in a while, man.

• 53:53Speaker 02

  It was great. Fuck, food is so good.

• 53:55Travis Kelce?

  Man, I fuck, I do love that city.

• 53:57Speaker 02

  I wish they still had the Disney quest.

• 53:59Travis Kelce?

  I wish they did too, man.

• 54:00Speaker 02

  The Disney quest of the ESPN zone?

• 54:01Travis Kelce?

  ESPN zone was fucking legendary. It made me love that city even more. Well, Eagles bringing back Zach Ertz. You said you mentioned Dallas Goddard, uh, unfortunately is, uh, is out for a little bit, but, um, they get a, they get a dog back in the, in the Eagles jersey, baby.

• 54:18Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's, I'm sad for Dallas because Dallas was having a great year.

• 54:21Travis Kelce?

  He's having a fucking hell of a time.

• 54:24Speaker 02

  Should say sad, he'll be fine. It sucks that he's gonna be out, but I am, listen, I'm always excited to see 86 in some,

• 54:31Travis Kelce?

  Come on now, baby.

• 54:32Speaker 02

  Especially if he breaks this record. What is, Zach is, uh, he's just 11 receptions away from breaking Harold Carmichael's franchise career record for catches.

• 54:41Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, damn.

• 54:42Speaker 02

  Yeah, baby. I mean, listen, I think if anybody was gonna break that record, I'd be happy that it was Zach. I do love Harold though, one of my all time faves. Harold, dude, Harold was a pro football hall of fame. Well, I guess he wasn't in the hall of fame when he used to do this, but he used to, when I first got to Philly, Harold would be spotting the ball.

• 54:59Travis Kelce?

  Guy just loves ball, man.

• 55:00Speaker 02

  Dude, he'd be out catching the ball and be putting it down and I, I, I just thought it was the coolest thing in the world. I'm out here at Harold Carmichael spotting the ball. Dude, one of, one of the best dudes.

• 55:10Travis Kelce?

  Game, baby.

• 55:10Speaker 02

  One of the best guys of all time.

• 55:11Travis Kelce?

  Well, you got two of them. Zach, one of the best guys of all time, friend of the show, friend of the, uh, the tight ends, tight ends rule. You're looking to see Zach out there fucking ripping it here soon in the Eagles jersey.

• 55:21Speaker 02

  Let's go.

• 55:21Travis Kelce?

  Well, let's get to the rest of week two.

• 55:24Speaker 02

  All right, week two in the books. We were a little premature. Week one, talking about offenses are back. Week two, scoring went back down.

• 55:30Travis Kelce?

  Way down.

• 55:31Speaker 02

  Chicago Bears 59 points, one week, three points the next or whatever they, yeah, I mean, it's, defense is caught on quick. And there's also been some crazy, uh, oh, and two, two and oh starts. The Raiders, two and oh, Chargers, oh and two, Kansas City Chiefs, how about that? Oh, and two to start last season, two and oh this year. The Vikings upsetting the Bears to be two and oh with Carson Wentz. I've heard that guy before.

• 55:55Travis Kelce?

  How about it? Shout out to my man, Cars. Up there letting it rip with the Vikes, man. I love it.

• 56:00Speaker 02

  Bengals might have officially found themselves a defensive line to really solidify. The Bengals being back as a premier contender. Sexy Dexy, he might've been the, uh, the most improved defensive signing this off season and not some of the other big names as well. Uh, what else we want to talk about?

• 56:17Travis Kelce?

  Um, Aaron Donald.

• 56:20Speaker 02

  Yep, made his debut last night with the Rams. I saw him before the game and I was like, man, I am so happy. I don't gotta block you right now. This is great. He was still jacked as fuck. He looks every bit about it.

• 56:30Travis Kelce?

  Did he score?

• 56:31Speaker 02

  No. He didn't have, he was, he was playing well, but he wasn't having like a lot of like impact plays. Don't get it twisted. It looked like he still can go. That's what I thought. That was my takeaway.

• 56:41Travis Kelce?

  Well, you were, uh, you were having some fun with the grade one.

• 56:45Speaker 02

  Yeah, baby. Normally at halftime, we're kinda done. And, uh, Pat was like, hey, you wanna go hang, uh, you wanna go see Gretzky? I was like, are you fucking kidding me?

• 56:54Travis Kelce?

  Do I?

• 56:55Speaker 02

  I will never turn that down.

• 56:58Travis Kelce?

  He really is the greatest, man. Not only just, not only on the skates, man, but he is just the fucking coolest, man.

• 57:04Speaker 02

  Undoubtedly, man. And, and we've said this before, I only had two posters in my, on my walls growing up in Cleveland Heights. One was a, uh, Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa poster that honored the year that they broke the home run record in the race. And the other one was that jersey right there. That's right. It wasn't that picture. A Rangers, Wayne Gretzky poster, which I don't know if that's the preferred Wayne Gretzky poster jersey, but that's what I had. So it's still surreal to me whenever I'm around him. Like, it's just like crazy to me. Yeah. Wayne O, his wife, his son, uh, Trevor.

• 57:43Travis Kelce?

  Shout out to Janet.

• 57:44Speaker 02

  Janet was telling the story about you guys golfing.

• 57:48Travis Kelce?

  You gotta love it, man. It's the only golf match I've ever won.

• 57:51Speaker 02

  By the way, probably the nicest boxer I've ever seen in my life. That sweet was insane.

• 57:54Travis Kelce?

  And so far is.

• 57:55Speaker 02

  They did a good job with that state.

• 57:57Travis Kelce?

  So far, they fixed, they fixed some shit out over there.

• 58:00Speaker 02

  Yeah, it's got turf, but whatever. It's got a good.

• 58:03Travis Kelce?

  Got turf, it's got a magnifying glass over the top, but it's outside, it's nice.

• 58:08Speaker 02

  Got the second piss missile from Tom Brady on a broadcast.

• 58:12Travis Kelce?

  Come again?

• 58:13Speaker 02

  Play clip.

• 58:19Travis Kelce?

  Did you feel like that was a piss missile?

• 58:21Speaker 02

  That's a piss missile.

• 58:24Speaker 02

  That's a great throw, but like a piss missile to me is like.

• 58:28Travis Kelce?

  Absolute piss missile up the sideline.

• 58:32Speaker 02

  Is that a piss missile to you?

• 58:33Travis Kelce?

  It's a fucking.

• 58:35Speaker 02

  It's a great throw. It's an incredible throw.

• 58:38Travis Kelce?

  It's an incredible throw.

• 58:39Speaker 02

  But when I think of piss missile, I think of like.

• 58:41Travis Kelce?

  I can't even see the football. I can't even see the football.

• 58:44Speaker 02

  It, it, a piss missile to me is like, almost like the moment it left the quarterback's hand.

• 58:49Travis Kelce?

  Aren't fast enough.

• 58:50Speaker 02

  It didn't go down or up at all. It just like was a straight like line. There's a little bit too much arc for this to me, but either way, incredible throw.

• 58:59Travis Kelce?

  To be honest, an absolute piss missile down the sideline is a great soundbite.

• 59:03Speaker 02

  Yeah, just saying. Who cares? It's fucking awesome. It deserves that kind of credit.

• 59:08Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, the throw definitely deserved a good hype and you gave it that. So I'm with you.

• 59:12Speaker 02

  Iris Chatsky now has been defeated.

• 59:14Travis Kelce?

  Oh, no.

• 59:15Speaker 02

  Jets Jake, Jets Jake's beautiful, beautiful baby girl has been defeated by the Green Bay Packers. Her undefeated victory record lasted longer than most expected, but it still only lasts one week.

• 59:33Travis Kelce?

  Um.

• 59:34Speaker 02

  Look at this bit. This is a great tweet.

• 59:36Travis Kelce?

  So good. This guy's, I mean, this is what he does. This is what, this is what he gets paid to do. He's, he's an expert.

• 59:43Speaker 02

  This is Emily. This is Emily. It's not Jake.

• 59:44Travis Kelce?

  Oh, oh, Em, Em.

• 59:46Speaker 02

  By the way, everybody, Jake, Jake is back.

• 59:48Travis Kelce?

  Welcome back to the show, Jake.

• 59:50Speaker 04

  Hi, I'm back.

• 59:52Speaker 02

  Alrighty, how was, how was paternity leave?

• 59:55Speaker 04

  Paternity leave was unbelievable, Jason. Thank you both so much for advocating for it, for never making me feel like I was missing out on anything.

• 1:00:06Travis Kelce?

  That's what kind of show we are, Jake. That's what kind of people we are.

• 1:00:08Speaker 02

  We would never do that.

• 1:00:09Speaker 04

  No, being so publicly supportive of.

• 1:00:12Speaker 02

  Absolutely.

• 1:00:12Speaker 04

  The paternity leave process. It really, it was great. I, I should say, you guys have been awesome this entire time. Uh, and it's been, the entire company has been really awesome. It's been great getting to know my daughter.

• 1:00:25Speaker 02

  It looks like Iris has not been sleeping very much. Your eyes are about as closed as they, are you tired right now? Yeah, yeah.

• 1:00:34Speaker 04

  Last, last night was a little, the last two nights were, were rough nights, but it's, we're honestly, we're adjusting to like me going back to work. And the best way that I can continue to help Emily take care of our baby in the best way possible. But yeah, talk, couple of two, 3 a.m. nights. You know, we've all been through it. It's fine.

• 1:00:55Speaker 02

  Yes. Would you have, do you have, you developed any strategies yet?

• 1:00:59Speaker 04

  Ah, no. Um, I, I mean, uh, the biggest thing is that.

• 1:01:04Speaker 02

  It's very early.

• 1:01:04Speaker 04

  Still early. The, uh, the biggest thing we've discovered is that the like yoga ball that we got for Emily during pregnancy. You just bounce on that, holding the baby. That has worked like a charm, but that does suck when it's like two in the morning and you're just fucking bouncing on a ball nonstop.

• 1:01:24Speaker 02

  Do you have, do you have a rocking chair? Do you have a rocking chair?

• 1:01:26Speaker 04

  We do, we do have a rocking chair, which has been great, especially for the mornings. Uh, but she doesn't like it as much as the ball. So.

• 1:01:33Speaker 02

  Got it.

• 1:01:33Speaker 04

  Yeah. And like the second, she does the thing where like the second you put her down, she immediately starts crying, even if she was asleep in your arms. But so it's all, it's all wonderful. Honestly, I'd like, I couldn't love it anymore.

• 1:01:46Speaker 02

  All right. I'm going to put, I'm going to pose a challenge to you, new dad.

• 1:01:49Speaker 04

  Hit me.

• 1:01:49Speaker 02

  I need you to find a song that you play and no matter what, anytime you play it, she gets, you can get her to stop crying. So there's, there's, there are songs out there. Go ahead.

• 1:02:00Speaker 04

  There, there have been a couple, like there have been a couple that have worked so far. The funniest one by far, she does like, you know, she does a, a baby reflex with her hands where she'll like start punching. Uh, and I could not get her to calm down one night. So I played Beat That Beat Up by DJ Paulie D. Instantly like catatonic. She, yeah. Apparently she's not a party girl, but, uh, Beat That Beat Up worked wonders.

• 1:02:25Speaker 02

  Perfectly.

• 1:02:25Travis Kelce?

  That's hilarious.

• 1:02:27Speaker 04

  That's been in the go-to for.

• 1:02:28Travis Kelce?

  Keep it in the rotation. Yeah. It's too funny.

• 1:02:31Speaker 02

  All right. That's awesome.

• 1:02:32Speaker 04

  Happy to be back, even if the Jets absolutely choked last week.

• 1:02:36Speaker 02

  Just like punching yourselves in the own, in your own dick. That type of.

• 1:02:44Speaker 04

  Not explaining that to her yet, but.

• 1:02:46Speaker 02

  Well, yeah, she won't, she won't get that. She'll, she might never get that one, but yeah, anyway.

• 1:02:50Speaker 04

  I hope not. Anyways, thanks for having me back, boys. Happy to be here.

• 1:02:54Speaker 02

  Love you, Jake.

• 1:02:55Travis Kelce?

  All right, big guy. Good luck to Iris and the Jets as they take on the Lions. And that does it for Bold Topics, brought to you by Allstate. You're in good hands with Allstate. Let's get to some, uh, stamps of the week, Jason. Stamp of the week is brought to you by NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. And, uh, I'm not going to lie, Jason, you and Kylie are absolutely electric in the, in the YouTube TV commercial.

• 1:03:18Speaker 02

  They're not playing it as much as I thought they would.

• 1:03:21Travis Kelce?

  I, I thought they were only going to play like once or twice every time, uh, they went to a commercial, but they're actually playing it three times.

• 1:03:27Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 1:03:28Travis Kelce?

  Uh, every commercial, which is pretty cool. And to see you do a, was it a pirouette, uh, with, uh, walking chips? Yes. Good shit. Um, Sean McVay, maybe, maybe a, for a great post-game quote, sometimes you win, sometimes you learn. Sometimes you have dumbass coach that makes travel plans that puts you in a bad spot. That's hilarious. It's a good man. It's a good man for making light of the situation.

• 1:03:54Speaker 02

  Yeah. I mean, whether it was a thing or not, it's fun to, I think it's always important for leaders to take ownership and accountability. Like, and even if that, who knows if that was the reason, but I think that players see that. You know what I mean? I think it's good.

• 1:04:09Travis Kelce?

  Who are you thinking? You got any good ones?

• 1:04:10Speaker 02

  I mean, I like the hot diggity dog from Isaiah Rogers. I'm not going to lie. You know what the hot diggity dog is?

• 1:04:16Travis Kelce?

  Nah.

• 1:04:16Speaker 02

  Yeah. That's how you, you could tell you don't, you're not in that Mickey Mouse clubhouse quite yet, Trav.

• 1:04:23Speaker 02

  So the hot diggity dog is a song they play right before Mickey Mouse clubhouse. Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog.

• 1:04:38Speaker 02

  Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog. So Isaiah Rogers gets a little recovery here and starts hitting the hot diggity dog. He said, told my son, I do it for him.

• 1:04:49Travis Kelce?

  Nice. That's good shit.

• 1:04:50Speaker 02

  That's my kind of celebration right there.

• 1:04:52Travis Kelce?

  That's a banger.

• 1:04:52Speaker 02

  All right, Trav, where are you going?

• 1:04:53Travis Kelce?

  I'll give my stamp of the week to Cleveland, baby. Shout out to the Browns for getting a dub, but more so shout out to the guards taking the division right now. We, we're up a game over the, uh, White Sox. Trying to get my guys to, to get that first place in the division, which will also, uh, get them a, a buy in the, uh, or yeah, a buy in the first, uh, round of the playoffs, man. We're in Boston this week and then we'll be in Kansas City. I'll catch my boys at the end of the week in KC. But God, man, fighting, uh, fighting your way back into the division leaders, man. You get my stamp of the week, boys.

• 1:05:28Speaker 02

  Well done, guys. Alrighty. Stamp of the week was brought to you by NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV.

• 1:05:35Travis Kelce?

  Thank you to our sponsor, Colgate Total.

• 1:05:38Speaker 02

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

• 1:05:43Travis Kelce?

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

• 1:05:50Speaker 02

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

• 1:05:54Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, like in your mouth.

• 1:05:56Speaker 02

  My mouth specifically?

• 1:05:57Travis 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.

• 1:06:09Speaker 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.

• 1:06:20Travis Kelce?

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

• 1:06:27Speaker 02

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

  Exactly. Hotel, put a small bar, do that later. Car, do that later. And the more you book, the more you can save.

• 1:09:42Speaker 06

  Make this intro on the road, man. Do that one more time. I hear you that one, man.

• 1:09:49Speaker 02

  How are we doing, guys?

• 1:09:50Speaker 06

  Good, man. We just got together here in New York. I mean, jeez, we spent months together. We hadn't seen each other in what, about a month and a half?

• 1:09:57Speaker 07

  About a month.

• 1:09:58Speaker 06

  True. So now we're gonna go out with brothers and talk about it, share it, declare it, and see hopefully people dig it and talk to people like yourself.

• 1:10:06Speaker 02

  Let's talk about the show. What are we in store for? What's going on with brothers?

• 1:10:10Speaker 06

  Start off with the inception?

• 1:10:11Speaker 07

  Yeah, well, the original concept was like, well, okay, I'll tell you what happened was, in reality, we were in Greece and

• 1:10:22Speaker 06

  About nine years ago.

• 1:10:24Speaker 07

  Yeah, and Matthew's mom, Momac, what we call her, she's, you know, she's

• 1:10:30Speaker 06

  About four Kendall Jacksons in.

• 1:10:33Speaker 07

  Four Kindles and I might have slipped her little Herbie Werbies.

• 1:10:38Speaker 06

  She took her off with Wood earlier. Which wasn't the fourth time they've done that.

• 1:10:44Speaker 07

  Yeah, the very first time we set off a fire on, but that's another

• 1:10:48Speaker 06

  My mom and him have been kicked out of two different clubs. My mom's 94.

• 1:10:54Speaker 07

  It's true, it's true. But anyway, she says, you know, I was talking, I mentioned my father and she goes, I knew your father. Now, that's only four words, right? But think about this, that ellipsis

• 1:11:15Speaker 06

  Is loaded.

• 1:11:15Speaker 07

  I knew, it was, it's more than three dots. It's like five, dang it.

• 1:11:22Speaker 06

  We had six-year-olds there that they even knew that that innuendo meant they shagged.

• 1:11:31Speaker 06

  Then we're like, oh, and I'm like, oh, what do you mean, mom? What do you start? Bullshit. Woody's like, oh, I knew it, I knew it. Our kids already, my kids already called him Uncle Woody. Thought we related. His kids had always called me Uncle Matthew, thought we related. And then off they went to play detective and investigate. And they found pictures and then they found out this timeline that No way. When him, when if my mom shagged with his dad, it would have been at this, so it said, date, right? Which tracked back to, it was in the middle of my mom and dad's second divorce.

• 1:12:05Speaker 07

  They were married three, two each other. Yeah.

• 1:12:08Speaker 02

  So the timing adds up.

• 1:12:10Speaker 07

  Yeah, so when Matthew went, she told me this, a long, a long time before Momac shared this with us, he had told me that when she was going to the hospital to give birth to him, she says, come on, Jim, let's go, I'm gonna give birth. He goes, I'm not going, that ain't my son, that, you know, that ain't my kid.

• 1:12:30Speaker 06

  He said that and he goes, and he said, but told me, he said, he goes, you got it from here. I got one rule just, if it's a boy, don't name him Kelly.

• 1:12:46Speaker 07

  That's his instructions as she was in labor. And, and so she, the reason he said that ain't my kid is because he knew that math wasn't mathing. And, and so from the time I've known him, which has been a long time, you know, I always felt like, god damn, I do that kind of thing, you know? I say something like this, there's like all these parallels, like you guys have with each other, you know? And I'm like, holy, you know, it's so weird. So when she said this, it just, eureka moment, it made sense. And I've got definite confirmation that they were, you know,

• 1:13:31Speaker 06

  He's so excited about this being true.

• 1:13:34Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 1:13:35Speaker 06

  He's like, ah, it's great, man, we're gonna be brothers. I'm like, fuck you, man.

• 1:13:41Speaker 06

  Why aren't you as excited as me? I'm like, it's easy for you, man. You'd gain a brother. You're asking me to like disown who I thought my father was for 55 years. That's a little tough for me.

• 1:13:53Speaker 07

  You know how you find family members in life, like this person's like more your family than your own family sometime? Well, you know, that's true of us, but it's also could be true of your father. He's more

• 1:14:15Speaker 06

  Makes perfect sense to him. It's so easy.

• 1:14:17Speaker 07

  It's a net gain for you, dude. You get another father you've never met who's spent a little time in prison. And then, and then you got like three new brothers, you know, like it's not so bad. It's a net gain.

• 1:14:33Speaker 06

  That's a glass half full kind of guy. Bullshit.

• 1:14:36Speaker 07

  Did you guys find out?

• 1:14:38Speaker 02

  We're still skeptical.

• 1:14:41Travis Kelce?

  Very skeptical, still trying to figure out, you know, how, how a big barely man, big bear looking guy like this comes out. And it's definitely nothing as, as, as complicated as what you guys just described right there, man.

• 1:14:53Speaker 02

  We did find out that Travis was named after the local milkman, but I

• 1:15:04Speaker 06

  Kids started coming by a little more often in those hot summer days when the milk had curled on.

• 1:15:09Speaker 02

  The first stories were that Travis was named after the kid in Overboard. There's a kid Travis, and that's what we knew up thinking. And then mom let the cat out of the bag that actually was this other guy that she thought was really attractive. And I'm like, okay, maybe, maybe there's a chance. Maybe this is

• 1:15:28Speaker 06

  Uncle Derry.

• 1:15:30Speaker 07

  You know, the main thing is the mom, you know, you got a common mom, you know that.

• 1:15:35Speaker 02

  We got that, we got that.

• 1:15:36Speaker 06

  We got a common dad.

• 1:15:41Travis Kelce?

  God damn, I can't wait to watch this thing, man. So you guys thought of this, thought of this nine years ago and it slowly started to piece itself together or?

• 1:15:48Speaker 06

  Let the kids go on their investigation trail and it became, you believed it from the get-go. Then, then parts of the family started to believe it. And then it was like, well, let's do a DNA test. I was like, bullshit, this ain't true. Ain't doing a DNA test for no reason, da, da, da, da. And as we started to just sit there and other people started believing, um, we were like, well, whatever. DNA tests or not, find out or not, let's do a show on this possibility. And so then that's when we started, we got together, found somebody that said, yeah, we'll do that show with you. Got our families together, started off thinking it was gonna be all my real family and his family together, just actually doing it, everyone playing themselves. And, um, we probably got a little smarter, I think, and said, no, let's cast it.

• 1:16:30Speaker 07

  Let's get some professional actors in there.

• 1:16:35Speaker 06

  We'd still be shooting. We'd still be shooting that some of the

• 1:16:40Speaker 07

  Yeah, we were gonna just improvise, you know, like, kind of like they do with Herb, where, you know, like they have really intricate outlines of the plot, but they improvise all that. So, uh, we were thinking about that, but then, yeah, luckily we thought, no, better, better get a script going.

• 1:16:59Speaker 06

  Yeah, loosely based on our lives, who we are, we kind of exaggerated a few things, you know, turned up the, turned it up, turned some things up a notch for comedy's sake and, uh, nobody made it. That's what we got.

• 1:17:09Speaker 02

  For sure. Yeah, that was one of my questions. How, how fictional are the fictional versions of yourselves, I guess?

• 1:17:16Speaker 06

  You say, man. I mean, look, we got the same amount of kids, they're same similar age. Momac is, Holland Taylor's a great Momac.

• 1:17:25Speaker 07

  Well, she's a great Momac.

• 1:17:27Speaker 06

  We just turned up the, I'm not Mr.

• 1:17:30Speaker 07

  We exaggerated ourselves a little. You're not Mr. What?

• 1:17:33Speaker 06

  Well, like in the show, I guess it's like I'm Mr. Order, Mr. Ambition, you got these things going on, got my life all dialed in.

• 1:17:43Speaker 06

  To a good extent it is, and you're Captain Chaos, who's never come through a front door in his life. Who, if you are gonna go to the Oscars, you'd best bring a swimsuit anyway.

• 1:17:56Speaker 06

  And, and who has no context of time or space and doesn't give a damn about if it doesn't know if it's Monday, Sunday, July, December, or don't even have to follow a Christian calendar, what year it is. What millennium is it? Who cares? That's him. And that's hardly exaggerating. So solidly based with a couple of oomps here and there.

• 1:18:16Travis Kelce?

  I'll tell you what, man, I don't know if you guys have just been on set with each other too much, or you guys do feel like brothers.

• 1:18:23Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 1:18:23Travis Kelce?

  Just sitting here, seeing you guys, and you said your families are close. And Matthew, I believe you posted this picture on, on Instagram, telling him happy birthday. You guys go way back. Like, when did you guys first meet?

• 1:18:37Speaker 06

  Go ahead. He thinks we met before we actually met. That's where we met, right there.

• 1:18:44Speaker 07

  He thinks we met on, on Ed TV, but actually we met, I don't know how much earlier, maybe a year earlier, and it was, I don't know, around 95 or six or something. And he was, uh, I was probably later, probably 97 or something. But anyway, he, he, we were both at this thing at CAA at the time. We were both at CAA and, and they were doing some kind of event. And I walked up to him and I said, how you doing? Okay, so a Time to Kill had come out.

• 1:19:16Speaker 06

  Probably, yeah.

• 1:19:19Speaker 07

  Yeah, so I came over and I said, hey, you know, would you like to do a shot? And he's like, it's like one o'clock in the afternoon. He says, well, you know, I got, kind of got a lot to do today. I said, what, one shot? One shot ain't gonna stop you from doing it.

• 1:19:38Speaker 07

  So we did a shot and

• 1:19:43Speaker 07

  And he don't remember any of that, by the way.

• 1:19:46Speaker 02

  So you didn't get a lot done.

• 1:19:47Speaker 07

  He basically did a shot with a stranger.

• 1:19:49Speaker 06

  Incredibly well, what I did. Yeah. But it had a lot of rhythm at least.

• 1:19:55Speaker 06

  So what I remember though is meeting, on Ed TV, where I'm at, I'm at a wardrobe fitting in San Francisco, second story, wooden floors, and windows are open, it was a beautiful day. And Woody's supposed to come in after me. And what I, I don't see him first, but I hear something out the window and I hear these, this heavy metal hitting this concrete, like someone walking.

• 1:20:16Speaker 06

  Look out the window, here's a guy in a full-on Tour de France biking suit with his real biking shoes clip-ons, but he's walking, he's not riding the bike. So he's walking up a hill, making all kinds of noise. Next thing I know, he comes in, walks the stairs, the wooden stairs, and then steps into this beautiful mahogany wooden floor, wearing those things, just creased that fucking floor right all the way in. I remember the casting director going, so I want to go over your wardrobe. And he goes, you're looking at my wardrobe. This is what I wear. And she goes, but you're not riding a bike.

• 1:20:48Speaker 06

  And he goes, it doesn't matter. This is what I wear.

• 1:20:52Speaker 06

  I like this guy. I like this guy.

• 1:20:58Speaker 07

  We had the best time, I gotta say. We, we, we really had a great time. But then, uh, did we shoot part of that in LA too? I can't remember, but anyway, we were in LA. And this is the night we really bonded. We were, I was over at his house and it was right on Mohawk, right? And we were playing ping pong and eventually it didn't matter about the net. And it didn't even matter about the table. The whole concept was you had to get the ball before it stopped.

• 1:21:35Speaker 06

  If the ball stops, you lose the point.

• 1:21:37Speaker 07

  You lose the point.

• 1:21:38Speaker 06

  So you can't let the ball stop.

• 1:21:40Speaker 07

  So the ball be rolling down the driveway on the Mohawk and be running down. Get that ball and skip it back the other direction.

• 1:21:49Speaker 06

  We were frigging bloody two hours later. And I don't think the ball ever stopped in that yard. Now, let me give you a little extra thing about, Woody's got a few little, little, little things he's extreme about. All right, like light, the raid or Lysol or, or air conditioning. Don't you turn on the AC now? Free on patrol. All right. We're sitting out there. He stays at my house one night on that same house in Mohawk. And we, it's the end of the day, man. It's been a great day. We played that ping pong how to party the other. It's about 2:30 in the morning. We're sitting outside on a, on a wooden, uh, picnic table. Like full moon up there, man, sitting down there passing one back and forth. And I was like, dude, all right, man, I'm tired. I'm gonna go on inside and call it a night.

• 1:22:34Speaker 06

  Um, and I'm like, you got that extra bedroom? You want to come in, you're welcome to sleep in it. Woody's like, no, man, I'm gonna stay out here and sleep. Bare bones it. That was the line. I'm gonna bare bones it. The nature, the nature boy, gonna bare bones it. I come in, brush, he's getting better about 10 minutes later. I hear the back door open. Little mosquito's got to Mr. Bare Bones. It had to come on in.

• 1:23:02Speaker 07

  Bare Bones.

• 1:23:03Speaker 06

  I hear him going to the restroom to the side and he sees he gets in there and I hear him settle into bed. I go and flick that AC on where it kicks in. Hear the AC kick on the house. All of a sudden, hey, hey, hey, fuck, hey, Houston, hey.

• 1:23:20Speaker 06

  He comes outside, I thought you were gonna bare bones it, babe.

• 1:23:24Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah.

• 1:23:26Speaker 06

  So he'll stick, he'll stick to like, you know, heavy duty. I'll, I'll, I'll fall on the sword for this, unless there's a mosquito.

• 1:23:34Speaker 07

  Yeah.

• 1:23:35Speaker 06

  Then he'll give it, then he's gonna come on in.

• 1:23:37Speaker 07

  You guys, I mean, how much do you like mosquitoes? Is there any part of them?

• 1:23:43Speaker 02

  Mosquitoes, flies, anything biting me?

• 1:23:46Speaker 06

  I got a question for you, everybody here. What's the worst alarm clock you've ever welcomed to? Meaning, one is mosquitoes. That is a horrible alarm clock when you get bit by mosquitoes, right?

• 1:23:59Speaker 02

  Yeah.

• 1:23:59Speaker 06

  Second one would be the smell of your dog and it had diarrhea on the floor, right? And the thing is, when you get bit, oh, if it hits your nose and wakes you up, the worst part is you can't pass it up and say like, I'll let someone get that up tomorrow. You gotta go do it. And it's gonna take about an hour and a half to do it right. It's a horrible, it's a horrible alarm clock. Worst alarm clock you got, anybody?

• 1:24:25Speaker 02

  I mean, that, the dog one probably takes the cake. I would, was, babies are, are a necessity, a necessary alarm clock. One, one time I was sleeping outside and I was being a dummy. I set this fire up and it was so warm and toasty. And I said, I'll just fall asleep right here. This is in the middle of February in Philadelphia. Well, like a dumbass, the, the fire goes out and I wake up and I am shivering, like cold beyond anything I'd ever seen before. That was a pretty awful alarm clock. That was one where it's like, yo, Jason, you almost just killed yourself being a dumbass. Let's go back in the house now.

• 1:25:03Speaker 07

  You bare bones it.

• 1:25:09Travis Kelce?

  Mine is probably, uh, the sun waking me up, uh, at like its peak. And I know I got shit I, I, I was supposed to be.

• 1:25:18Speaker 06

  Oh, a high noon, a high noon alarm clock.

• 1:25:22Speaker 06

  I'm gonna have to bulldog through the rest of this afternoon.

• 1:25:24Travis Kelce?

  Yeah, I just fucking, I've been, I've been tardy.

• 1:25:28Speaker 02

  And Trav, you're talking about one thing that I'm excited to see with this film. Like there's something about, like in football, we consider ourselves like brothers, right? You get so close with other men where you're around them all day. You're, you have similar interests, you're all bonding over football that they become just like family. And I think that's something that's amazing with, obviously your two's relationship, what you guys have created here is like, it's very relatable to a lot of people in life. And like you end up, the, the, the brothers you choose end up being some of the closest ones you have. So, um, you know, anything about, is there anything you guys want people to take away from this series?

• 1:26:06Speaker 06

  I think that's, that is one of the things, you know, people, I didn't know this, man, but people have, have seen it, have said that, that, oh, man, what says such cool stuff about having a great friend, about male relationships, about male friendship and how you can love one another and stick up for each other. Like, hey, man, we got this, whatever, that, I didn't know that that was, a lot of people were running on reserve, you know, fuel tank with that, with understanding that. Cause it is such a cool thing to have with your real brother, with your, with your great friends, whatever, uh, whatever that fraternity that men can have with each other is, is something, man, I don't, we don't, we don't ever want to go light on that. And look, our working deal, we go similar to y'all.

• 1:26:50Speaker 06

  Get together for three to four months, 13 hours a day, six days a week. That's who, that's it. You know, you get up in the morning, if you're lucky, you say goodbye to your kids on the way out the door. And if you're lucky, you come home, say hi to their mama and then, and get to, you know, have a dinner and check in with them about the day. Then you're up the next day doing it. And that is your world. The rest of the world, there's no room for anything else to come into it. So it's a bam, you're in it. And then all of a sudden the, it, it, the, the last day, it's like the circus picks up its tension, goes away. And Woody's one of the guys, and I can count them all on one hand, and then not even use all my fingers, that since we met and worked together in, what, 98?

• 1:27:33Speaker 06

  That we've remained great friends and, and, and stayed. And look, sometimes we've had times we've been, been away from each other for over a year, but you know, it is with a good buddy, man. You pick right back up and in 30 seconds, you're rolling again with what's happening. You know what I mean? We've been through, uh, we've definitely put years on our life in the laughter we've given each other. We've also shed a few damn tears about some tough life stuff going on at the time that we didn't have anybody else to share it in. We needed to share it with each other, you know? So, yeah, I mean, that's, I'm lucky to have him as a buddy. And like I said, I can count those friends that I've met in the industry that I've stayed that close with on one hand and not even use all the fingers. Then I'm lucky to have that friend in Woody, man.

• 1:28:13Speaker 02

  Yeah, baby.

• 1:28:16Speaker 07

  My brother.

• 1:28:17Speaker 06

  Come on.

• 1:28:19Travis Kelce?

  I love it.

• 1:28:19Speaker 07

  My dog. Come on. I like that, my dog.

• 1:28:22Travis Kelce?

  That was beautiful, man. We, um, we want to get into this last segment before we get you guys out of here. And, uh, we always end the segments with, we gotta ask. So we're gonna hit you guys with some rapid fire questions, um, one, one by one here. And, uh, here's some, some good answers out of them. Woody, the first one's for you, brother. Better basketball player in white men K Jum or bowler in Kingpin?

• 1:28:45Speaker 07

  Oh, basketball. I was not much of a bowler.

• 1:28:49Speaker 02

  You're a bowler with a rubber hand.

• 1:28:52Speaker 07

  Exactly. That's a real hard sport for me, uh, bowling, but I, but sometimes I get lucky. Like one time I actually bowled a 199. Imagine the last frame, all I needed to do was get more than like three and I got three, you know?

• 1:29:09Speaker 02

  Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 1:29:10Speaker 06

  He's a sneaky athlete. He's ambidextrous now. You ought to see him on the tennis court.

• 1:29:14Speaker 02

  Okay.

• 1:29:15Speaker 06

  Forehand.

• 1:29:15Travis Kelce?

  There we go.

• 1:29:16Speaker 06

  Backhand, hang on a second.

• 1:29:19Speaker 06

  Left handed backhand.

• 1:29:20Speaker 02

  Oh, my gosh.

• 1:29:22Speaker 06

  He's got a good left foot and a good left hand dribble on the court, too. He's not even left handed.

• 1:29:27Speaker 07

  Oh, this guy's a tennis player.

• 1:29:28Speaker 02

  On the basketball court for sure.

• 1:29:29Speaker 07

  Boy, he's a hell of a tennis player, this guy. Anyway.

• 1:29:32Speaker 02

  All right, next question. Matthew, this one's for you. Will you ever get tired of people coming up to you and saying, all right, all right, all right?

• 1:29:41Speaker 06

  Oh, no. Let me tell you why.

• 1:29:44Speaker 06

  Check this out. I'm in 1992, Austin, Texas. I go on the right bar at the right time, introduce myself to a producer. We get started having drinks. Four hours later, we're kicked out of that bar because we're getting too rowdy. Riding the cab home, I'm getting dropped off at my apartment with him, Don Phillips. He goes, hey, you ever done any acting? And I said, man, I was in a middle light commercial for about that long. I don't know if that counts. He goes, you might be right for this part. Come to this dress and pick up the script tomorrow morning, 9:30. It was about four hours from that time we were heading home, right? I get the script, there it is. There's three scenes in there. At the part, I go in on set that night, wasn't even supposed to work, wouldn't even have any scenes to act in. But the director asked me if I'd step in and improvise something. Pulling up, Wooderson, pulling up in that scene.

• 1:30:27Speaker 07

  Didn't you say, would, would, would Wooderson be, uh, interested in, uh?

• 1:30:31Speaker 06

  Well, no, I'm in the scene and I, there's no lines. I got a mic on and I'm like going, man, I'm a little nervous, man. I'm in my first scene in a movie. I've never said a word, I've never acted in a film before. I'm getting a little bit nervous, let's go. And I'm like, who's my man about? Who's Wooderson? What does Wooderson love? I said, Wooderson loves his car. I said, ooh, well, I'm in my 70's Chevelle, there's one. So Wooderson loves to get high. I said, well, Slater's riding shotgun, he's always got a doobie rolled up, there's two. I said, Wooderson loves rock and roll. I said, man, I got Ted Nugent's Stranglehold cranking on the eight track. There's three. All of a sudden I hear, action. And I look up and I'm like, and Wooderson loves picking up chicks. And there she is, I got three out of four.

• 1:31:12Speaker 06

  Going to get the fourth. All right, all right, all right. First three words I ever said, first three words I ever said on film. What I'm saying, why I won't get tired of that is I didn't know.

• 1:31:24Speaker 07

  Film, it just his voice.

• 1:31:26Speaker 06

  It's just a wide shot of a car pulling around. But I didn't know that night if acting was gonna be something, if that night I worked was gonna be something for the rest of my life. I'd tell my kids, hey, there was this one summer in Austin, I got to work this night on a film as a little hobby and turned out to be a career I love. So introduced with those three words makes everything a little cooler to head into. You're gonna do that forever. The first three words I ever said and what I thought might be a hobby turned out to be a career.

• 1:31:49Speaker 02

  There we go. Man, that fucking story. Hell, yeah. All right, all right, all right.

• 1:31:53Speaker 06

  Yeah.

• 1:31:54Speaker 07

  Yeah. Come on out to the A I R stream. I'm gonna make the best.

• 1:31:59Speaker 06

  Win and down, spell it out.

• 1:32:06Speaker 02

  Matthew, you were on the sideline for the Texas National Championship win at the Rose Bowl. Is this the greatest sporting event you've ever been to? What's what if not, what is?

• 1:32:14Speaker 06

  No, that is. People ask me all the time, what's the greatest sports movie? I'm like, that night, you couldn't have written that drama and people believed it. And what the ebbs and the flows of what happened and how it happened. And I mean, the no, one of those no excuses games, nothing ended up in that controversial, nothing ended up in the ref's hands. It was, you know, I mean, it was just, it was two teams playing at peak. And then we happened to have, you know, a guy who played like Superman at that time. And Vince Young, who just

• 1:32:42Travis Kelce?

  Come on now.

• 1:32:43Speaker 06

  Did that thing, he had a little bit of that thing that Dion used to do. You know, when you're like, people almost couldn't make the move on him and he could, he could, he'd run certain kicks back. You're like, man, you had it. And like, no, he didn't. And he had Vince had a little bit of that in that game. Just the ebbs and flows, the fact, I mean, going into it that we did, we weren't given a chance. The dynasty of USC was already talked about being complete. This is third year, this is gonna happen. It's already been written. And if you listen back to that game, which I've listened to, I think Dan Foutsen, somebody else, Old Nelly, Old Nelly, was Dan Foutsen, what's his name? Old Nelly. Anyway, it's not until like four minutes ago in the game where either one of them kind of go, Texas has a chance here. It was, it was just written like USC's got it.

• 1:33:28Speaker 06

  And then, you know, I want, let me ask you about this intangibles, right? You know, intangibles, which I think are really interesting to come up with. Vince did something. And you tell me if you did, if you understand what I'm talking about there and share some stories of intangibles y'all may have or that you know. He did something in the third quarter, it was late in the third quarter, we're down by like, I don't know, 14 or something like that. We're driving, we're on there 30, 35. They called one of those television timeouts, national championship game, those television timeouts are long. You know, they, they take a while. So back at the other, at the other end of the stadium, they bring out three USC alumni, older men, and to sit there, recognize for your service and so on and so.

• 1:34:09Speaker 06

  Vince looks down there, takes his helmet off, runs down the field, shakes each one of their hand and induces himself and is talking to them when the ref blows the whistle like, hey, let's get back in play. He's like, oh yeah, runs back up. And me, I was sitting there looking at that, me and my buddy Link later, we're going like, we're gonna win this game. Did you see that? That's how present this dude is. That's how, you know what I mean? Do you see some, are there intangibles that you see somebody do, then you're like, that's on another level right now. There, there, or that Joe Montana story of looking up, hey, it's John Candy in the huddle, you know, on the Super Bowl drive. And you're like, how'd you, what? That's, how do you have the poise to be there? You got any intangible stories of, of people or things you've seen?

• 1:34:53Travis Kelce?

  Jason's got a few Vince Young stories up his sleeve.

• 1:34:56Speaker 02

  I was about to say, that does not surprise me one bit about Vince. I was with Vince for a year in Philadelphia and one of my favorite teammates we ever had, like, he had that to build, I mean, had a lot of shortcomings. Like, I love Vince, but one of his superpowers was making you feel like you were just playing backyard football again. So like you'd say in that story where like, he's not gonna let the moment get the best of him. I don't think I ever saw Vince rattled. Now, there were some times he might've, should've been rattled.

• 1:35:26Speaker 02

  That's one of the things that it, it, it works to your strength in certain moments. And I could see on a stage like that, the biggest thing you're trying to do in the biggest moments is not let the moment all of a sudden make you be somebody you're not. And something like that with Vince's personality, I can see working really well. And obviously it did. It's the same thing. I mean, and I see it a little bit with Jalen Hurts. I think he gets criticized a lot, but he has that same ability where the highs never get too high and the lows never get too low. He's so consistent and that works to his advantage majorly in big moments. Sometimes when things aren't going well, you want him to be, all of a sudden be somebody else.

• 1:36:08Speaker 02

  You want him to be a, hey, come on guys, let's go do this. We need to get this going. But that's, but what I'm trying to say is like, that doesn't, you want that in the times where you need it, but you, you tend to forget when the times are really good, that he, this personality is a strength of his as well.

• 1:36:25Speaker 06

  Let me ask you this. When did, where were you when you had your first daughter in your career?

• 1:36:30Speaker 02

  Uh, I was in 20, oh man, 2019. So it would have been in my, trying to think of what season that would have been, uh, ninth season in the NFL.

• 1:36:45Speaker 06

  Did you, cause you have a first, man has a first child.

• 1:36:49Speaker 02

  Yes.

• 1:36:50Speaker 06

  It never is a man more masculine, never is the head more aligned with the heart, with the loins and the spirit. I mean, I found the first child that all my hunches, I should have quadrupled down on them. I tripled down on some, I should have quadded down on them, dude. Whether it was people, relationships, career choices, investments, whatever. I was just like, bam, they're all aligned. And I always think that that's a great, one of the best times to bet on a man is after they have their first child for the next, I don't know, six months, a year. How was your season?

• 1:37:23Speaker 02

  I think after that moment, it all was, trying to think of a way to say this. A lot of life gets put into perspective when you have a child and priorities get set straight, but also responsibilities. And I think that that's a huge turning point for me and my career as my place in the team as well. And I don't know if they, you know, overlapped just at the right time, or if something really did manufacture in like the way that I viewed myself around all these other guys. But that season definitely was a season where all of a sudden I started taking further steps into being like that older statesman kind of leader within the room and stuff like that. Yeah.

• 1:38:05Speaker 06

  It's an amazing time for, yeah, for a man at first child. Do you remember what you, your years, your life, your career choices you made, relationships you made after?

• 1:38:13Speaker 07

  Yeah, 93, uh, we, uh, in Cheers, uh, there were, between the cast and crew, there were 50 babies and Denny, our, our daughter was number 50. It was quite a time because, uh, we were wrapping up Cheers and I, I had written a play. I was trying to direct it and, uh, you know, uh, I had done, uh, this movie Indecent Proposal and it was just coming out. And then I was prepping to do Natural Born Killers. And I mean, just so much shit going on. And then to not sleep was wild because, uh, you know how the sleep thing goes.

• 1:38:54Speaker 07

  It was, it was, it was kind of chaotic, but it was pretty great, you know? Just, just that pure love you get from the kid. It's amazing.

• 1:39:06Speaker 06

  I think my career got better once I had kids.

• 1:39:09Speaker 07

  Yeah?

• 1:39:09Speaker 06

  Yeah. Cause I think, I think I was, uh, in that perspective thing that you were talking about, Jason. I mean, when I, when I, when all of a sudden performing and acting wasn't number one, you know what I mean? And you got dependents that, oh no, if you ain't there, they don't make it. So that's the child. When I put it, when, when, when acting came down out of the number one spot, I didn't lose any respect, I actually got better at it because I had something else that was more personal in the number one slot.

• 1:39:41Speaker 07

  Do you think you've made enough money now that you can provide for your family? Or do you gotta keep?

• 1:39:46Speaker 06

  Baby, I break a sweat every day.

• 1:39:50Speaker 06

  I'm going perpetual, man. Come on. Mr. Mr. Mr. Sequel Trilogy over here, I'm trying to catch up with him.

• 1:39:59Speaker 07

  These guys are trying to, they, they want to get back to their lives. So, uh, how do we, uh?

• 1:40:07Travis Kelce?

  One last question, guys. Perfect segue, perfect segue. Welcome to Hollywood moment for each of you guys. We always ended asking everybody where, where it started and it kind of shocked them that they were doing what they were doing or just a moment that, uh, that hit you early on.

• 1:40:22Speaker 07

  So I got invited, uh, by Carrie Fisher.

• 1:40:25Speaker 06

  Carrie Fisher.

• 1:40:26Speaker 07

  Yeah, Carrie Fisher, you know, yeah. And she got invited to this party and I'm, and I'm walking up from the driveway up this, you know, big lawn and out on the lawn comes Jack Nicholson by himself. And he didn't know anyone's watching. And, and, and he comes out on the lawn and he goes, I am so fucked up.

• 1:40:52Speaker 07

  And I was like, oh my God, I am in Hollywood.

• 1:41:02Speaker 06

  I'm gonna tell you about my entrance to Hollywood. So I graduate college and driving out there, uh, pulling a little U-Haul, uh, behind my truck and I've got a couple thousand bucks, but I got the trip planned, man. I know that soon as I get to Sunset Boulevard, I'm gonna put in The Doors, LA Woman, and I'm gonna rock it for my entrance, right? Cause I'm coming out here first time. So I'm driving and it's about a 24 hour drive anyway. And like the hour 21, I was going through like Indio and I see this Sunset Drive exit. I'm like, oh shit, man, I'm making good time.

• 1:41:45Speaker 06

  I put that CD in, baby.

• 1:41:51Speaker 06

  A seven minute song.

• 1:41:54Speaker 06

  I think I had to play it 22 times in a row because Sunset Drive out of Indio is not Sunset Boulevard. You still have another two hours to go. I listened to it 22 times in a row. I finally got to Sunset Boulevard where I pulled in 10:38 on a Saturday night. Knocked on the door. My buddy, Don Phillips, has moved on. I can tell this story because I wrote it in my book. Knocked on his door after that 24 hour drive. Nobody answers. Finally he goes, "Yay, what is it?" I said, "It's me, man. It's McConaughey." Because I'm sleeping on, the only guy I knew, I was sleeping on his couch. He goes, "Hey, I got this little chippy in there. You think you can give me about 20 minutes?" I said, "No, dude, come on. I'm just joking."

• 1:42:38Speaker 06

  He walked back to the door and he was, it was facing north and I was like, "Welcome to Hollywood."

• 1:42:46Speaker 06

  He's mid, he's mid sport, man. All right. Yeah. Come back and thank you, Tom. I'll be out there sitting in the car, bud.

• 1:42:52Speaker 07

  Welcome to Hollywood.

• 1:42:55Speaker 02

• 1:45:22Travis Kelce?

  I forgot about that.

• 1:45:33Speaker 05

  All right, this week, boys, boys, I'm, Jason, don't ignore me.

• 1:45:38Travis Kelce?

  Hit me with your best shot.

• 1:45:40Speaker 05

  Um, news, news. I got reactions to our Tom Cruise episode. I think we're good. Bold topics. Chiefs are good. Chiefs are back.

• 1:45:47Speaker 02

  Yep.

• 1:45:48Speaker 05

  I've got the offense. I've got Travis. I've got your accolades.

• 1:45:56Speaker 05

  The reversed fumble, the field goal decision.

• 1:46:00Travis Kelce?

  Did you know they make noise cancelling toilets now?

• 1:46:03Speaker 05

  See, this is what I'm watching. You start the show. I don't know what I'm even doing here.

• 1:46:08Travis Kelce?

  This is great.

• 1:46:09Speaker 05

  Like a silencer?

• 1:46:10Travis Kelce?

  Bose, man.

• 1:46:11Speaker 05

  That's not real.

• 1:46:12Speaker 02

  Does it only work for flushing or does it also work for farts and pooping? Does it silence everything?

• 1:46:19Travis Kelce?

  I think it silences everything.

• 1:46:20Speaker 02

  How does it silence a fart? Does it like seal your, your butt cheeks?

• 1:46:24Speaker 05

  It's got a seal around you.

• 1:46:26Travis Kelce?

  It like sucks in wavelengths, sound waves.

• 1:46:29Speaker 05

  Travis, this has got to be AI. This is not real.

• 1:46:32Travis Kelce?

  A new noise cancelling.

• 1:46:34Speaker 05

  This is not real. There's not real.

• 1:46:37Travis Kelce?

  Oh, it said, look, it says it drops right before Christmas.

• 1:46:40Speaker 05

  It's, there's no fucking way this is real. Bose did not make a toilet.

• 1:46:48Speaker 04

  Maybe it's a collab.

• 1:46:49Travis Kelce?

  They must not want to be a gazillionaire.

• 1:46:52Speaker 05

  Yeah, we, we don't hear this. New Heights makes a noise cancelling toilet. It goes on Kelsey Clubhouse.com and everybody's happy.

• 1:47:00Speaker 02

  Let's make a noise cancelling toilet. I think that's a great idea. It would have to suction to your butt.

• 1:47:07Speaker 05

  You have to, you have to screw onto it like a silencer.

• 1:47:11Speaker 02

  You sit down and you have to like pump air out of the, the toilet so that it's, suctioned your butt cheeks in there.

• 1:47:19Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 1:47:19Speaker 02

  And then whatever noise comes out of it, it's silenced.

• 1:47:23Speaker 05

  Would it not be easier to like, instead of, I feel like suctioning the toilet's risky.

• 1:47:29Speaker 02

  Oh, it's all risky.

• 1:47:30Speaker 05

  What if you built a little dome around it that's soundproof? Like, like when Ben Stein's money.

• 1:47:35Speaker 02

  Now, that's just like a soundproof room. That's just a soundproof room.

• 1:47:39Speaker 05

  Well, I think that's a little, I feel, I feel safer about that than I do my ass being like.

• 1:47:43Speaker 02

  That's way too logical and nobody's gonna buy a phone that you install on your wall. We're trying to change the toilet game, Brandon. You're not even in the fucking same wavelength.

• 1:47:53Travis Kelce?

  You're talking about walls.

• 1:47:54Speaker 02

  The real question is how do you silence a stand up pee? How do you silence that? You have to have a detachable hose.

• 1:48:01Speaker 05

  That's about it.

• 1:48:02Speaker 02

  Detachable hose goes in so that it doesn't splash and make noise when it hits the water.

• 1:48:09Travis Kelce?

  Grips you.

• 1:48:10Speaker 02

  Yes. More suction, more suction.

• 1:48:20Speaker 05

  Jason's really going to the bathroom a lot. He must be really hydrated.

• 1:48:23Speaker 02

  Listen, in the middle of the night, in the middle of the night, sometimes I'm a sit down wee guy because I don't want to turn the lights on and I don't want to risk missing, missing the toilet. If this thing has a detachable hose that I can suction on, I feel really comfortable peeing standing up with that contraption.

• 1:48:39Speaker 05

  I just want to clip Jason going, "More suction."

• 1:48:45Speaker 05

  I think you're right.

• 1:48:45Speaker 02

  I think we're on to something here.

• 1:48:46Travis Kelce?

  Doubles as a penis enlarger?

• 1:48:48Speaker 02

  Yeah. Two, two for one.

• 1:48:51Travis Kelce?

  Did they really sell that fucking thing? Like, was that an actual thing or was that just on Austin Powers?

• 1:48:55Speaker 02

  No, no, no. Those are, that's a real thing.

• 1:48:59Travis Kelce?

  People were really fucking putting their dicks in tubes and suctioning them in the hopes that it made them bigger.

• 1:49:06Speaker 02

  Travis, I'm pretty sure cavemen were tying strings to rocks. All right. But for as long as there's been men, they've been trying to make their dicks longer. I don't think that this, this is like, as long as dicks have existed, there's been some dude trying to make it bigger. I can guarantee you that.

• 1:49:20Travis Kelce?

  That's hilarious.

• 1:49:27Speaker 05

  They were working on the dick stuff before fire. They were like.

• 1:49:31Travis Kelce?

  Tying rocks, you know what tying rocks made me think of is fucking old school.

• 1:49:34Speaker 02

  Yeah, exactly.

• 1:49:35Speaker 05

  Oh, that's the best scene.

• 1:49:40Speaker 02

  Do you trust me? The ultimate trust fall.

• 1:49:45Speaker 05

  I mean, I don't want to keep going through the rundown. I think we're fine.
