We get into both guys heading to your TV screen with Travis giving us the inside scoop on his new role in a Ryan Murphy TV show and Jason explaining what he’s getting up to at ESPN. Most importantly we have a follow-up to the minor Twitter kerfuffle we started last week about the legacy of Secretariat.

We also find out how ready Jason is for the booth when we break down his first MNF assignment, and of course, we revisit the NFL vs NBA debate that tore the professional sports world apart.

Jason Kelsey
Travis, where are you at? I can neither disclose that information nor do I know. Can we get a country of origin? I can give you a continent. I'm in Europe.

Travis Kelce
This isn't like, the guessing game. Like, we're not guessing where Travis is. We're not playing 21 questions. Is that an ambulance? They definitely don't have ambulances here.

No, I'm gonna assume that's in New York because that's what happens in New York. Yeah, that goes off the skyscrapers.

Bonjour. Welcome to Newark, ladies and gentlemen. 92% is presented by wave sports and entertainment and brought to you by buffalo wild wings. Let's go, sports bar. That's right.

Subscribe on YouTube and wherever you get your podcast and follow the show on all social media at new height. Show with one s. You guys know the deal.

Also check out our official fan club at new heights, also with one as Jason. Tell the 92 percenters and the newcomers what we got coming up. Oh, we got a great episode for you guys lined up right now. Right now. I don't know if you could tell.

Jason Kelsey
We are not in our standard setups. Travis is overseas. He will not disclose his country. But he did give us an introduction with a certain language, so I'm going to bet on that one. I am in New York at an NFL location, uh, inside New York City, because I'm at the up front ESPN.

Travis Kelce
What are you doing there, Jason? They're going to announce that I'm a part of Monday Night Football officially. Yo, nice, man. Yeah, that's fucking awesome. Kind of already been announced, but it's going to be a little bit more official here coming up.

Jason Kelsey
So, yeah, we're all kind of in our. In uncharted territory, if you will. They're all out of the house right now, and we're going to give this episode. We wouldn't, we refuse to not do everything possible to give this episode to United two percenters. Everything possible.

We found a way to make it happen despite the time differences, besides the. The mileage across oceans that we have to stream this to get it to you, we're getting it to you. Always produce this episode. We're going to be talking about the chiefs kicking off the NFL season, Travis having their very own euro trip, you and. Yeah, I'll let everyone know how I started maybe the biggest horse war, uh, since, uh, 1812.

Some medieval war. I don't really got anything. I would imagine wherever you're at, Trav, there's been quite a bit of horse wars. But first, as always, new news. New news coming in hot.

Travis Kelce
All right. Now, Travis has gone Hollywood. First time I have. Second time, but, yes, first item of new news. It has officially been announced that Travis has been cast and a new upcoming FX horror series, grotesque Gary from showrunner Ryan Murphy.

Yes, sir. Trav, how's it going out there? What's. What's happened while filming? This has been fun, dude.

It's been so much fun. You've been meeting a bunch of people. Yes. I'm. I'm in there with Niecy Nash, Betts.

Jason Kelsey
Ooh, the Larino novel one. Ryan Murphy is an unbelievable. Yeah, unbelievable writer, director, producer, all the above, man. He's just. There's not.

Travis Kelce
There's nothing he can't do, and he's just. Everybody's just been so helpful and making me feel comfortable, and even on top of that, just giving me kind of the direction I need in the coaching I need to portray this part that I'm in. And it's been so much fun, man. It's been so much fun. I feel like a jabroni.

I feel like an amateur and haven't gotten fired yet, so we're doing good. We're doing good. Not being fired is usually. They haven't told me to fucking kick rocks after the first week being with them, so it's been awesome, and it's such a cool and unique show. I don't want to give away too much, but the name itself can tell you it's quite a mystery, and every scene has just been so much fun to be in.

Jason Kelsey
So awesome. Yeah. Niecy Nash shared this video with you guys on Instagram and said, this is what happens when winners wake up. Welcome to grotesque. Nice.

Travis Kelce
So much fun, man. What can you tell us? What is acting like? Not just, like, having, like, a limited role, but, like, full on. Like, are you.

Jason Kelsey
How many episodes are you in? Do you know yet? I don't know anything about any of that. I don't even. Okay, cool.

Travis Kelce
Right now, I'm just taking it scene by scene and trying to make sure that I, you know, remember my lines. And like I said, I'm very amateur at this. It's important. But it's. It's been fun.

It's been fun jumping into things. The biggest difference from being outside of, like, the acting world and like, starting to get into it is it's. You're very much in tune to the scenes, and you don't want to get so much caught up on the lines. You want to be in the scene with whoever you're, like, acting with. Right.

So I had started off thinking, man, just memorize your lines. Memorize your lines. But in the reality of things is you want to be able to take that scene from one point to the next and. And portray, you know, exactly. You know, what the scene's meaning is.

Jason Kelsey
Yeah. It's been so much fun kind of unraveling that with not only Ryan Murphy and Nisi, but everybody involved. And, yeah, it's just. It's very. It's a fun challenge for me right now.

I was talking to Miles Teller at the Super bowl legend, and I was asking him, you know, how do you go about picking, like, roles and, like, what you're gonna do? He said, first of all, you read the script. It's all about the script. But then he said, it's also about, you know, directors, writers, producers, like, all these other people that it takes. And you're with, obviously, Ryan Murphy on this project.

The guy who's brought other shows such as Glee, American Horror Story, American Crime Story, nip Tuck, 911, so much. This guy's got quite a catalog of unbelievably successful shows. How's it been like to work with him? Have you seen any of his other shows? How does this.

Travis Kelce
Yeah, I mean, that was. That was such a big part of it, and I was. I was kind of blown away and, like, kind of, like, shocked that he was willing to give me a role like this, because it is a big role in the. In the. In the show.

And he seemed very confident that I'd be able to do this, and he kind of injected that in me the first conversation that we had. So, yeah, hopefully I don't fuck. I don't bomb this for him. No, you're gonna do good. It sounds like it's.

Everything's going as planned, and I can't. I can't thank him enough for just this opportunity, because I'm sure there's actors out there that have been in the acting world that would die for an opportunity to work with Ryan. And I'm getting it in my. Really my first gig ever, so it's pretty. Pretty unique and pretty cool.

Jason Kelsey
How does it compare to moon base eight with my man John C. Riley? That was. It was just a completely different vibe. John C.

Travis Kelce
Was so fucking awesome, man. And it was. That was like, pure comedy. It was nothing but comedy. It was like everything they were saying.

I was like, in the scene with them trying not to die laughing at the shit him, Fred, and Tim were saying, and it was just. It was awesome. That was such a cool experience in itself, but night and day, different in terms of what the shows are going to be. Can't wait. Hopefully.

Jason Kelsey
Good luck in the rest of the filming and getting it done and can't wait to check it out. That's gonna be on FX, right? FX, baby. Yeah, baby. Tune in.

Grotesque feature in the big yeti. All right, Jason, we just talked about it a little bit. You're officially signing with ESPN. We're also recording this on Tuesday. By the time you're watching this, Jason Kelsey will officially be a member of the ESPN family.

That's right. Couldn't be happy for you, dude. We grew up watching all of the legends, and ESPN really fueled our sports, like fandom or our competition, our knowledge of the games and the sports that we were playing. And I'm just so happy for you, man. But do you want.

Travis Kelce
Do you want to tell everyone exactly what you're doing and what you signed up for at ESPN? The big thing is Monday night countdown. That's the main part of the deal. We got some other things in the works, potentially, but that's the most important thing that we've really tried to iron out. When I called you, kind of, we started talking about the different opportunities, but I mentioned ESPN in particular.

Jason Kelsey
Your exact words, I think, were, man, you're going to be on Monday night Football. And I'm like, yeah, yeah, it's crazy. You know, it was. You know, this was. Especially when we were growing up, this was the night everyone thought of with football.

Right. Monday Night Football. And now I'm going to be on there with some incredibly talented people, with Scott Van Pelt, Marcus Spears, Brian Clark. You know, all these guys offer not just great expertise, but wonderful personalities, and I just think it's gonna be a lot of fun, man. Things to be a good time.

We're gonna be at the games, traveling around. I still don't know what I'm wearing, so I guess we'll find out. Z is being. Gonna make you wear a suit. They're gonna make you button it up, dude.

I don't mind wearing a suit, if that's what it calls. I think there's a time to be relaxed, you know, be off the cuff. But there's also a time, I think, to be a little bit more buttoned up. And, yeah, we'll see. We haven't really talked too much about it.

Travis Kelce
Nice. But. Well, I'm a little biased, but rolling with it. I'm a little biased, but I think you guys have the best desk in football right now. Dude, that's.

That's a hell of a fucking lineup right there. It'll be good. It'll be good. Are you going to be able to not be biased if the Chiefs and the Eagles play Monday night football? I will, of course, be biased in who I'm rooting for, but in my analysis, I think I'll definitely be able to be unbiased.

Jason Kelsey
I think I kind of always am. Even while I was a player, I was always trying to give my honest perspective and point of view, and I don't think that changes now. I think now I'm just going to have more opportunities to voice that, which is either good or bad. Probably bad. If you're a horse racing fan, good.

If you're a football fan, obviously I'm always going to root for the Chiefs and Eagles. Especially the Chiefs while you're playing. And the Eagles. You know, it's where I spent my entire career, so I'll always be rooting for those teams. But as far as, like, sharing, you know, sports analysis, football analysis on them, I'll always be honest.

Travis Kelce
Are you. Are you going to be on my ass? Are you going to fucking. Are you going to be harder on. On me than anyone else?

Are you going to be more open to fucking shit on me because it's me? No. No, I won't. I wouldn't do that to you. Document.

Jason Kelsey
I'm gonna make fun of you for sure. But I don't think, you know, if you, like, drop a pass, I'm not gonna go out of my way to do anything like that. But, yeah, if you do, I need. To catch the fucking ball. Silly dance?

Travis Kelce
Yeah. I mean, I'll say that, but I'm not gonna, like, jump on top of you. But if you do, like, a silly end zone dance that I think looks stupid, I'll make fun of that for sure. Can't name one of those. All right, now let's get into some fan mentions of the week.

We got some good ones, and we appreciate you 92 percenters for always sending them in from radio on Twitter, who sent in an incredible, incredible cartoon version of us talking about getting kicked out of preschool. They even got Kylie in there. Me and a kid were playing and for some reason we were stabbing each other with sporks. For some reason they were playing. Jason didn't like how they were playing, so he stabbed him in the face with a fork.

I got kicked out of preschool because during playtime, the teacher told me, you know, Travis, you have to share. And I said, no, I don't. And through the chair that I was sitting in at her kind of just used our voiceover for this cartoon. And I'll tell you what, this is damn good. Yeah, this is great.

I think they got you a little skinnier, but maybe that's a motivation. No, that's like, they just know where I'm headed. No, this is a. This is the kind of content we need, people. This is so good.

This is so good. Great animation. Funny. I mean, cartoon or radio? Really knocked out of the park with this.

Hell, yeah. They. They tweeted it saying, why would you give that kid a sporky? The famous Ed Kelsey line at new heights show at Jace. Me and Hash Kylie, because she's not on Twitter.

So we absolutely love this thing. What other new heights stories do we need a cartoon version of? I don't know. I mean, I think the Kylie shark. Incident, that's showing some visuals and you.

That would do pretty good. Monte, Kylie's first date. That's probably another good one. Ooh. God damn, that's good.

Jason Kelsey
Ooh. How about mom? Mom putting you on the leash at the amusement park? Leash, kid. Leash, kid.

Travis Kelce
Who the fuck is 53? The Brian Kelly. Just absolutely ripping that kid. I mean, to show some visuals. We would love that.

Jason Kelsey
We would love that. For sure, man. I'll tell you what this is. This is pretty good, though. They did a great job of the spork going straight into the kid's head.

Travis Kelce
I remember that like it was yesterday. You could tell that was exactly how it happened. It was a little exaggerated. Wasn't that much. Nope, it was exactly that.

Jason Kelsey
And we weren't. I don't remember being in the principal's office or the. I remember we were, like, kind of just in the same room. I don't think there even were officers. I mean, it was a preschool, but.

Yeah, no, it's. Other than that, it's pretty accurate, so. Good, man. Fuck. How's wy doing at a preschool?

Travis Kelce
Can we. Can we get an update on. Nice. She hasn't got kicked out yet? Not kicked out.

Jason Kelsey
A matter of fact, the. The teachers have nothing but rave reviews, so obviously they. She's taken after Kylie very well. That a girl. No, she's doing great.

She loves it. Ellie actually just started preschool. She's at the same school with Wyatt. They're both. They call them frogs at this preschool when they're that young tadpole graduate.

Yeah, that's frogs and bears and. Yeah, whatever. And everything else in between, I guess. Dude, it's fun listening to your kids talk about what they did for the day. You know, who they're meeting at their little classes, like, why?

It's got a crush on one of the boys. I'm not telling you his name, but you can just tell in the way she talks about him. So I'm ready to beat the fuck out of him. Just go after the dad. Just, like, calm your kid down, all right?

Travis Kelce
He doesn't need to be this cool. He's only in preschool. I know how these fuckers think when they're five. I know. I know exactly what's going through his mind.

I know exactly how these fuckers think. Oh, man, the teachers are impressive. Are you, like, we went in for, like, a parent teacher, like, conference deal or whatever. Like, we met with the one head of her. What?

Jason Kelsey
They're, like, assessing what they know. The same teacher that we have for Wyatt and Elliott was also the teacher at that preschool when Kylie was growing up. Oh, you can tell how amazing she is and just great at her job. I don't know. It's just awesome to see.

And I think it's really cool to hear your kids experiencing things on their own and then come back to share them with you. That's got to be fun, man. Yeah. Well, shout out to wife for not getting kicked out yet. And, Ellie, keep enjoying it, girl.

That's right. Up next, the rest of the fan mentions are directed to Jason. Nice. Oh, I wonder why. I guess you accidentally started some serious beef with horse Twitter after you accused the beloved secretariat of doping.

Travis Kelce
You accused it like every horse wasn't doing it, but you singled her out. Or you singled him out. All I was trying to get across in the podcast, and this devolved online where I started talking about enlarged hearts as a very non medical person and steroids. So we're just gonna get back on track here. All I was trying to say was that we should not compare errors across each other.

Jason Kelsey
I believe that at all. Sports, not just horse racing. All sports. I don't. Yeah, there's still.

I don't want to get out of this, but, like. Like, there's been a. This isn't like I believe. It's just crazy. The, like, I can't believe you got it.

Yeah, it's really. It's really stupid. Very stupid. So funny, man. I go on Twitter.

Travis Kelce
I go on Twitter. Last week, and I'm just like, what is Jason, why is chasing writing paragraph after paragraph explaining himself right now? It was a little bit overboard. You let Twitter get to. You can't let, you can't let it.

Jason Kelsey
People like, don't say anything without facts. Well, I'm sorry, guys. There's not gonna be any facts. There's not. They don't like it wasn't illegal.

They weren't testing. But fair enough. I should not accuse accusations, God damn it. There is no win here for Jason. I'm sorry, but it's, that's, that's the world we live in.

I'm just gonna say this. I think that the testing of modern day horses is way different than what was happening back then. What secretary had accomplished is remarkable. It was clearly an incredible horse. All I'm saying is I'm not comparing the generation that was happening back then to what's happening now and what these horses have to do now.

Not gonna do it. Not doing it. I just want to say thank you to Twitter for getting my, my guy riled up, man. Fuck, I'm not even, again, this was not, steroids weren't illegal before night job. I'm not accusing anybody of wrongdoing.

It just is what it is.

Travis Kelce
Ah, this is so good. All right, let's get off. Let's get off of secretariat. Shout out to, shout out to everybody involved, all the horse trainers out there that are doing it the right way. We love you.

Don't give steroids to horses. All right, I'm done beating a dead horse. I, I don't want to launch accusations at one specific animal. That was not my intent. All I was trying to get at is we don't know what was going on in the seventies, people.

Jason Kelsey
There were all sorts of things available. The testing wasn't as good. That's all I was trying to get at. I apologize for truck or if that made it seem that I was coming after Secretariat for doing things outside of what everybody else may or may not have been doing. I was not trying to taint that horse's legacy one bit.

It's a magnificent horse with a heart bigger than the Grinch. And it's a magnificent, it's a magnificent animal. So wait, the Grinch has a heart? Well, at the end of the movie, it's a really, I think he was taking steroids. I think the Grinch is really just a story of steroids.

Travis Kelce
God damn it. And in all seriousness, in all seriousness, secretary was wonderful. Probably the best racehorse of all time, depending on who you ask. But regardless, big fan of horse racing, big fan of mystic Dan. And hopefully we can link you up at maybe the Belmont or something, because I definitely can't make the previous, but maybe the Belmont.

Well, I can't wait to see how the Grinch juiced Christmas. Dude. What if that. Yeah. How do you think he got that big ass bag of presents up?

Jason Kelsey
He had to take steroids. And then as, like. As his heart grew, he became more affectionate. You already made a Christmas album. I think it's time to make.

Is that a teacup of accelerator? Is that how they drink it in? I don't think they have accelerator here. I don't even know how they say accelerator here. Well, it's either accelerator if it's France.

If it's Italy, it's a accelerator. Where the fuck did you just go? I don't know where it's an accelerator. That's how they would say it in Italy. Nice.

Okay, so France, accelerator. Italy, accelerator. I don't know Spanish as well. You spoke Spanish in you should know it. Well, they made me stop if I wanted to pass the class.

That was part of the stipulations that. You had to stop. I forget what her name was, but she gave me a c if I agreed never to take another spanish class. Rubinovs in 10th grade. 10th grade.

And I said c. Let's move on. To the NFL schedule release. All right, here we go. Like we said earlier, we are filming this episode on Tuesday, so we don't have the full NFL schedule release yet.

That will come out Wednesday, I think, at some point. But we do know the following. The Chiefs are going to kick off the season Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens in a rematch of the AFC title game. Actually, there's a. This NFL room I have is actually.

It's a Ravens room. Yeah, we got the Ravens, baby, and got them in the first game of the year. So everybody should be healthy, and everybody should be feeling good and ready to rock and roll. I mean, I love a good powerhouse matchup to start off the season. I think it gets everybody excited for football, and sure enough, they're going to see some of the best football being played.

Travis Kelce
So I'm definitely geared up for that. And I know the Ravens would be fired up to play us, that's for damn sure. I've been there before. Does the Ravens have any big offseason news? What do they do this offseason?

I think they signed a safety or somebody else signed their safety or one of their safeties. Obviously, they still got Kyle Hamilton their best. Their best. Like Derek Henry. That was Henry.

That's right. I knew there was a big signing. Lost OBJ, lost one of their safeties and signed Derrick Henry. So now they're running game that was already amongst the best in the league. Just got the best in the league again.

Jason Kelsey
They got thunder and they got lightning, they got Derek Henry coming downhill and they got probably the shiftiest might be dude. He is. Lamar is ridiculous. He's breaking dudes off left and right. It's absurd to watch dude, when we.

Travis Kelce
Saw him in the AFC, bro, he was, he wasn't a thin dude like he was at Louisville in his first couple of years. He bulked up. Oh, really? He's, he's breaking arm tackles. Put some weight on.

Jason Kelsey
Nice. For damn sure. I mean, he broke an arm tackle, one of the biggest arms on our team I could. John Cena, Leo Chanel broke, broke his arm tackle and threw a deep touchdown pass to zay Flowers in the first quarter. And of course, Lamar is one of the most motivated guys in the league, one of the most dangerous quarterbacks to play this game.

Travis Kelce
So it'll be a fun matchup and I know it's something to get excited for. I think they're going to want to come out and show out and we're going to want to, you know, start the season off on a great, great note and what better way to do it against one of the best teams in the league. Yeah. The other big offseason change for them is that the demons of court and took the job with the Seattle Seahawks the first game of the year. I always hated going against teams with brand new coaching staffs.

Jason Kelsey
You just don't the hell knows what's about that. I mean, it's kind of fun. It's kind of like on the sideline, like they're doing this. I didn't think they were going to be doing this. Or it's like, yeah, it was exactly the same as where he was before.

Did they promote somebody within or did they hire outside? Do you know? I mean, you probably don't. You haven't. You guys haven't started preparing for the Baltimore Ravens yet?

Travis Kelce
We might start doing that in minicamp. I know we usually get a little bit of a head start. Oh, there goes those New York sirens. I know that's right. I think it's a fire truck.

Jason Kelsey
That's a. I think that's a fire truck. It's got that. Yeah. Get the fuck out of the way.

Travis Kelce
We got to be somewhere. We're not just trying to catch a bad guy. We're trying to save good guys, so get the fuck out of the way. That's a good point. That's exactly what that sounds like.

Jason Kelsey
Because, I mean, if we're all being honest, you know, when they're trying to catch bad guys, it's like, everybody, everybody, everybody likes some bad guys. Some bad guys everybody kind of likes.

Do you like starting with a, in conference game as meaningful against, like a, an opponent that, you know is also going to be in heavy playoff contention?

Like, this is a city just like a regular game. This is a rematch of the AFC championship. What do you think about starting the season off like that? I do like playing the potential, like, top teams in the league early. I'd rather play them early or like mid season.

Travis Kelce
I don't like playing at the end of season outside of the division. Like, why is that? I just feel like it's too close to the playoffs and if I have a chance to play them in the playoffs, like, I want to keep that game fresh. Oh, you know, I don't know. I feel like we always play, we've always played the Bengals in December or like January, and I just, I'm just like, in my head, I'm like, man, I really just want to save that game and, like, the excitement and the hype of that game for the playoffs.

Now with that being said, it comes around in the playoffs and you're still excited and it's still unbelievable matchup. But I think it's cool that this year we play the Ravens early, we play the Bengals early. And those are going to be two of the best teams in the National Football League. So I just, I'm excited and it gets those two under our belt and kind of gives us, you know, somewhere to kind of like, gauge where we are in the, in the, amongst those teams early on. And I like to see where I'm at and see, you know, how, what direction I need to go right now, if that makes sense.

Jason Kelsey
It does make sense and I've never thought about it that way, but it makes complete sense and I think you articulated it very well. And I'm always just fucking beat up in December, man. And those games are fucking tough, man. I like what you're saying. Like the end of the year, it's all about playoffs.

So you should be playing in division opponents to settle who's going to win the, win the division and you should go into the playoffs with a fresh game. I agree. I think it is a different feeling. It's, it's, it's better when you get those out of the way early and then you get to see how the team's changed later in the season because obviously there's a big evolution that happens throughout the course of a season. Yeah, there has to be NFL teams.

So I think that makes a ton of sense. Do you think the NFL is trying to build up the Mahomes Lamar rivalry the same way that there is also the Mahomes borough, Mahomes Allen? I don't think they necessarily have to. I mean, every, every game that we've ever played against the Ravens has been fucking a barn burner, like to the end of the game, like. And there's been excitement left and right.

Travis Kelce
There have been so many of those games. You guys opened the season on maybe Monday night against them one year or is either one or two. It was either the first week or the second week and they made, I think wink was still there and it was like a blitz, zero fest. Yeah, you guys were bombs over Baghdad. That was Pat Mahomes first year starting.

And there was a year ago. Yeah, they were literally the game that was at KC, right? Or was it at Baltimore? I think the one I'm thinking of was in Baltimore, but I'm not positive. I remember Pat's first year starting because we were losing the game with like seconds left.

We had a fourth and forever that we needed to, needed to like get. And Pat started rolling out to his right and just fucking hucked it down late down the middle of the field. Like you're told not to your entire quarterback career. And Tyreek was just right there, right into the gut. We're talking about the same game.

Jason Kelsey
I just. Yeah, so that was. Yeah, and they blitzed us the entire fucking game. I mean, that's true. Wake fashion.

Travis Kelce
Yeah. Get after the rookie quarterback or the young quarterback. Yeah. Was Lamar with Baltimore at that point or was that pre Lamar? Yeah, no, I think that was his rookie year.

He went fucking nuts. Lamar and Pat are the same year, I think. Either that or they're one year apart. I'm not sure. Yeah.

Right now they're right around each other, though. They're. They're closer. I remember, I just remember Lamar making unbelievable plays left and right. I remember being a ridiculous game.

Jason Kelsey
I'm trying to. I thought Lamar was out there. I'm just clarifying because it felt like their offense was ridiculously explosive in that game. And I think that was early on in, like, the Lamar and. Oh, my gosh, who was the OC that was there?

Was that Stanford? Greg Roman. Roman. There it is. Speaking of Joe Burrow, it was also announced that the Chiefs will be playing Bengals week two, as you just said.

Is anything Joe said at the new heights live show going to be brought back up, do you think? No, I don't think so. No. He loves talking shit. I'm sure Chris Jones will give him everything he's hoping for in terms of talking shit, because, Chris.

I could not have been more impressed with Joe. He was just like, every time I hang around him, every time I catch up with a man, it's just, it, you just, you love the guy even more. It really is like, he's a fucking, one of the best competitors out there. Cool hand Joe, man. He's Joe shistes smooth.

Travis Kelce
He's one of the smoothest football players. Just the most calm, cool, collected, and just, just great competitors in the game. And when you meet him, man, he's just, he's ultimately just a. Just a great dude, man. For him to tell the story about when you text him and even to remember that you did that back then was, I thought, really told, told, told, told everybody the type of guy he is and, you know, he's just appreciative of the road and the journey he's had to this point, man.

And, yeah, we're going to have our hands full. We're going to have our hands full. Joey B's looking bigger, stronger, looking like a fucking beast. He's got a brand new wrist tendon or ligament or whatever they had to fix in there. Yeah, that's going to be interesting.

Jason Kelsey
I can't wait to watch him when he gets back out there, man. Long overdue. And as Orlando Brown said, he is officially the spiciest white boy in the NFL. Or was. Did he put you there?

Which one did he? It was Joey B. There was no contest. I didn't even argue it. I'm just like, yeah, I don't know who came up with this dumbass question.

Travis Kelce
Everyone knows. I know. It was intern Brandon. All righty, here we go. We know we need, we need content, Brandon, we get it.

No, it will be interesting to see what they do with their, their offensive weapons. They lost Joe Mixon. I know they gained Mike Gasecki, my tight end. Tight end. But it'll be the.

Jason Kelsey
What's that? Freaking. The skedaddle. Yeah.

Travis Kelce
His version of the gritty called the skedaddle. Yeah. I'm excited to see him in that offense. And then on top of that, it'll be interesting what they do with the wideouts because I know they got to pay either one of them or both of them. I forget what the scenario is.

It doesn't matter. As long as Joey B. Is out there is going to be a hell of a game because they got great defense and great coaches. So. Absolutely start this thing off right, baby.

Jason Kelsey
Little. Two big primetime matchups, man. A couple other highlights from what we already know about the chief schedule is we play at Buffalo. So we're going back to Buffalo, Jason. Oh, that's fun.

Travis Kelce
If it's a Monday night game, you're gonna get shit face at work. I'd probably. ESPN might not let me do that on a Monday night game, but they don't. They must not want their ratings to go through the fucking roof.

Jason Kelsey
Thursday night. Thursday night, though. Thursday night. I could do it. I do want to go back to Buffalo without the Chiefs or Eagles playing them just because I want to be fully buffalo.

It was a dude. It's incredible. You're going to find out. You're going to get an opportunity to go and experience what Buffalo. I love the experience being there.

Travis Kelce
I love the hostile environment like that. No, you have no idea what it's like in them stands at the Big Tree Inn. It's going to engulf you. You're going to love the way you look at Buffalo before the game. I guarantee it.

Jason Kelsey
The Chiefs also play in Cleveland. I'd love to go to that game. We'll see what day that's on. Yeah. Cleveland, baby.

Travis Kelce
Believe in. Get to go home playing the dog pound. I remember my first game ever playing in Cleveland, actually went to there. Yeah, I actually scored in the dog pound twice. And it was a welcoming home of birds just being flipped off to me.

Just fucking right to the right to my grill. And I was just like, man, I've always dreamt of this. Thanks, Cleveland. I love you guys, too. And I didn't, obviously, I respected it and I still fucking love Cleveland and, and I'm just ecstatic that I get another chance, hopefully get another chance to play in their stadium and in front of the, the hometown crowd, man.

Jason Kelsey
It's going to be awesome. I remember that game. You got cream hunted just signed in Cleveland. No, he signed in case he was still, he was with us. Kareem had, I think three touchdowns.

Went back home. That's what it was. Pretty sure. I remember him blowing out. Yeah, we us together, we had like four or five touchdowns.

Travis Kelce
Two Cleveland kids running it up on the brownies, baby. Got it. Got to love that. As Cleveland fans, man, no doubt. Shout out to the browns, man.

We love you guys. I'm always cheering for you, but for that game, it's on and popping, baby. All right, now, Jason, you got your first assignment for Monday Night Football. Now that we've announced that you're going to be on the desk with SVP, Ryan and swagu. Yeah.

Doing the first Monday night game. Is it in? It's in. San fran. You're going all the way west coast for your first gig.

That, yeah, that'll be a good matchup. First day on the job. I'm going all the way. 6 hours to san francisco, dude. I'm excited.

Little purdy versus rogers, man. Well, that's the thing. Aaron's back and healthy. Anybody that watched the jets last year, I mean, their defense was ridiculously good. So I'm curious to see what they look like with Aaron at the helm being the player that he is.

Jason Kelsey
Sam fran has been the top of the NFC for, you know, five, six years now. They've always been up there. And salah is going back to kind of where he got was right before he went to the jets with shanahan. Low reunion. Oh, that's a good point.

Travis Kelce
Yeah. Hell yeah. I think it's a, it's a great first matchup. It'll be an awesome game. Little purdy versus Rogers.

Jason Kelsey
Action. Yeah, man. Great way to start off. Fuck yeah. I wonder how Rogers feels because he, I think he hurt himself on the first Monday night.

Right? I think he was hurt on Monday night and then he re enters on Monday night. Yeah, that's a good point. But it's a good point. I'm sure he's just excited to get back out there means, yeah, I don't think he cares.

Travis Kelce
Jason, now that you're officially a talking head, give us your keys to the game real quick. Just rip it. Just rip it. First thing comes to mind. Rip the keys.

Jason Kelsey
I mean, I think for the jets, they got to stop down, stop the run. I think whenever I think of a Shanahan offense, I think if you stop the run and you make them be one dimensional, it really hinders the strengths of that offense. It's all built on misdirection motions and predicated on run and play action. So if you force Brock purdy to be a drop back passer, that's your best hope, even though Brock Purdy proved a little bit, especially at the end of last season, that he can operate his drop back passer. So, you know, they got something really good going on there at San Fran, but I think that's the biggest thing from the jets.

Stop the run. That neutralizes the play action and a lot of things they like to do and the misdirection off of it. If I am San Fran. Yeah, I think you are trying to just stop Aaron Rodgers. The Jets have a great running attack.

Travis Kelce
But, yeah, they do. Rogers coming back, being fresh, being the. If he can be anywhere close to the quarterback that he has been in the past, obviously one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, you know, I think that's what I'm looking forward to seeing the most. If Rogers can execute, I think it's. The jets are going to be really, really dangerous this year.

Like a fucking pro. How do you like that one, Jets, Jake? Like a fucking pro, you talking head, you little muppet. And here we go, ladies and gentlemen. That's Jason Kelsey.

As a broadcaster, I love it. And one last thing about the NFL schedule before we move on here. Tom Brady is making his broadcasting debut in Cleveland. Brady's first game in the week. One matchup between the Cowboys and the Browns.

Boys versus the Browns. I actually like that match. That'll be a fun one. How do we think Tom will do in the booth? Fantastic.

Because it's fucking Tom Brady. He's going to do fucking great. He's the greatest quarterback of all time. He's going to be able to share his insight, what he thinks about the game live. Like, he's going to be sharing what was going on in his head while he was playing.

Yeah. And he's going to be doing that for everybody to listen to. I fucking can't wait to listen to Tom Brady call games and he's going to kill it. And the fact that he's doing it in Cleveland to start off sucks that he's doing a Cowboys game. I mean, who wants to watch one of those?

Jason Kelsey
Me, I think. I can't wait to hear what Tom sounds like, hear what he says about different situations, his analysis, especially on the quarterback position, but I mean, on everything. It's going to be awesome. Yeah. I love my guy, Greg Olson.

Travis Kelce
They kind of did him dirty over there in Fox, but, I mean, it's Tom Brady. What can you do, right? You know, just sometimes just got to do your thing and Greg does a fucking tremendous job. He called the, he called our super bowl game and he was fucking fantastic doing that. And, yeah, I try not to be biased against the commentators and the, like, color guys, but I think Greg is.

Jason Kelsey
I mean, he's phenomenal at it. He always, you could tell he makes it a point to really know what he's talking about. Yeah. And teach. And teach the game.

I didn't know. I forgot. I found out. I mean, maybe last year, but his dad was a coach. Yeah.

So you can tell, like, he thinks about the game not only as a player, but he has that type of mindset in him. Yeah. Also, I feel like a tight end and you would know this. Like, it's interesting to see which guys go into color and what positions they played because obviously you think about the game in a relative manner to what you were doing on the field as a player. Sometimes where Greg has this beautiful, like, he was raised by a coach, so he thinks about the game from a coaching perspective, but then he played tight end.

In tight end, you have to be involved in all of it. Right. Like, even more so to an extent than the quarterback does. The quarterback has to be involved in all but the tight end. You're involved in not only all the passing concepts, the formations, all of it, you're also involved in all the run schemes, all the blocking.

So I think he's got a beautiful blend of just knowledge and experience to unleash when he's calling games. Yeah, it's a joy to watch Greg call games or listen to it. It's my motherfucking dog. Yeah. Yeah.

Travis Kelce
So, Fox, you got two great ones, man. And again, we will probably go more in depth to the NFL schedule next week after we see and they release who all the opponents are and where we're playing them and when we're playing them. So, yeah, I think the schedule officially comes out tomorrow, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, so literally the day we release this podcast. So, yeah, so sorry, this might be a little bit dated.

Jason Kelsey
Sorry. Sorry. You're gonna have to wait a week for all of our other expert analysis. On all this stuff, but, yeah, excitement for who? The chief.

Travis Kelce
Scott, baby. Let's roll Wednesday at 05:00 p.m. To be specific. Thank you, Brandon. All righty.

Jason Kelsey
Non schedule related NFL news coming at you. The NFL versus NBA player debate that we started last season on this show is back. NBA veteran Austin Rivers claimed that there were 30 NBA players that could play in the NFL right now, and you can't do the same for NFL players in the NBA. 30. I feel you can find 30 guys that are talented enough for sure to play in the NFL.

Travis Kelce
30 is a stretch, brother. Did you see Ryan's stance on this? I haven't, no. He's essentially saying, like, the mentality that people have in the NBA is much different than the NFL. And he questions whether NBA mentality driven players would be able to play in the NFL.

Jason Kelsey
And I think it's a fair point. I just think that there's a lot of NFL players that really aren't as tough as maybe we're being portrayed to be. Especially, like, certain positions, like, no offensive receivers, but, like, not everybody's Heinz ward coming across and laying a block over the middle. Like, there are plenty of guys that just catch a ball really well and jump high speaker two. I also think that the majority of them are, though, just the nature of the, of the occupation.

Travis Kelce
Yeah, it is what it is. I mean, like every, everybody brings up Draymond Green's clip in Michigan State. That's so unsure. We talked about this. That's so unfair to, that was his first fucking day.

Jason Kelsey
First day. Like, give the guy like a week at least to work on some technique or line him up off the ball. Anybody even know how to get off a press? Like, our first days, they don't even allow you to press, dude. He doesn't know the snap count.

The DB jumped the fuck out of it and got up into his chest. Of course it was a bad rep for him. I'm not buying any of this. We know this for a fact. If there was one guy in the NBA that was tough enough, it would be Draymond Green.

Travis Kelce
You know what I mean? Like, there, that's not the, that's not the scenario there. The scenario there would be whether or not he'd be fluent enough to be able to run routes bend because typically that most NBA guys can't bend and just are different athletes are not asked to get low and play with leverage. You know, it's just, it's just a completely different game. It's the reason why when Michael Jordan switched over to baseball, his trainer said, we got to turn you into a completely different athlete.

You have to be able to work with the ground where an NBA. You're almost, like, working in the air more than you're on. On. In a sense, obviously, I'm exaggerating a little bit, but it is what it is. Different athlete that you have to become.

And not everybody can bend. Not everybody can play with levers. Not everybody can. Can play with the, you know, that. That mentality to, you know, stick your face in the fan.

Not everybody's willing to do that. Yeah, it's gonna be a debate that'll never, that'll never actually get fucking proven right or wrong. But I don't know. I got. I got faith in NFL players being able to go over to the NBA.

Jason Kelsey
I have zero faith in that. I do. I have zero faith in that. I think if there's one, that definitely is an easier transition simply for the fact that there's more positions and there's more spots. It's NBA to NFL.

Like, not even. Not even saying how talented guys are, athletic they are, but what are we. What are they going to play? What is an NBA player translating to becoming? Is he.

Travis Kelce
He's got to be either a what, a wide out, a tight end, or wideout. And tight end are the easiest ones. I think that if you gave them enough time, you could take a really big, long guy and teach him how to rush to pass her. Like, let's be honest, that's not that hard. You're kind of basically already doing that when you're juking somebody to get to the basket anyways.

Jason Kelsey
Like, there are similarities in, like, steps and things like that. So, I mean, obviously, you're using your hands different and the offensive players using their hands. It's not the same. You put Zion on the fucking D line. That's what I'm saying.

Travis Kelce
You might have another $100 million contract. Miles Garrett is the freakiest player I've ever seen in pads at defensive end. There are a lot of miles Garrett's in the NBA. A lot. Yeah.

Jason Kelsey
There are a lot of big dudes that are ridiculously explosive. Now, can they bend as well as Miles? Okay, that's. I'm not saying that they would be as good as Miles Garrett. Miles Garrett also wanted.

Travis Kelce
I know you're not saying that. I'm just saying just pure athleticism. I don't know, man. That dude is power and explosive. To be.

To be able to bend the way he does. I don't know. All right, fair enough. Like I said, this shit, it'll never get answered. You'll be able to contradict and say whatever you want about it, but I don't know.

Jason Kelsey
I don't think it needs to be answered. I think I'm more with Austin Rivers than I am with anybody else saying that. NFL players I'm out on. There's 30 players right now. They could play in the NFL.

Travis Kelce
I'm out on that. I agree with that. Just because it's. It's taken a long time. Like, it'd be hard at this point in their careers, especially 30 good NBA players, the type of talent that we're talking about to restart their careers and kind of get it going and play in the NFL.

Jason Kelsey
I think I can take LeBron James. You can put them up on the ball anywhere. I'm saying line them up off the ball so that you can't get a good jam on him. And within weeks, he'd be one of the most dominating red zone threats in the game. Like, who's going to go up and get a ball better than LeBron James in the NFL?

Travis Kelce
Nobody. So I'm saying it's a good point, but LeBron James, I don't know. It is LeBron James. This is true. I'm picking a very talented man, but I feel like you can do similar things with Westbrook with.

Jason Kelsey
With other guys that are just. That's two. They can jump through the gym. They're physically impressive. Like athletes.

I mean, have a rundown on kickoff. I mean, I feel like there's. There's enough six, seven guys in the NFL that play d line that could fucking bang in the post. Name somebody that could bang in the post. Chris Jones.

Travis. I love Chris. You're crazy. I've seen him play basketball. He's also not six seven.

Travis Kelce
Put me in there, I'll fucking bang. You guys aren't six seven. He's bigger than me. I'm six five. You guys are the same height, pretty much.

Jason Kelsey
Let's not act like he's six seven. Chris is not six seven. He's 6465. He's listed at six six. All right, I digress.

Travis Kelce
Like I said, this will never be fixed. All right, well, Chris Long, JJ Watts, Shannon Sharp, we're sure to let Austin Rivers know that no NBA players are tough enough for the NFL. I disagree with that. I think that there are definitely NBA players that are tough minded. The fact that they flop, the reason they do this because it's encouraged.

Jason Kelsey
I don't buy that that's a reason that they can't play in the NFL. Could secretary play in the NFL? I mean I don't know that he passed the drug test but he's certainly athletic enough to.

Travis Kelce
I hear where they're coming from. That's definitely a big question is will they, are they willing to take a hit every single time they get the ball and show up every single week and do that? Are there more NHL players that could play in the NBA than NBA players that could play in the NHL? Now we're getting somewhere. Now we're getting somewhere.

Jason Kelsey
The NHL might be the only league that has more players that could transition over to the NBA than the NBA could transition into theirs. There's no way. You don't think that not a single player in any of the major sports is going to go right now and go start playing in the NHL? It's not happening. No, it's not happening.

It's too skill driven. I thought you were saying NHL to NBA. That's not happening either. I mean, just saying some of those guys are pretty like Zendayno Charles. Like six eight.

He could bang in the post. He's 611. He is enormous. Yeah, he's a big man. Probably could have played in the NBA.

Travis Kelce
I want to see him shoot a jump shot. Just. We're just talking about six seven. He's just rebounding in, boxing out. He's just rebounding, boxing out.

Six seven is a small. Is a shooting guard in the NBA now. Oh, I thought you're saying 6th or 7th guy off the bench. My bad. Okay, sorry.

Jason Kelsey
My bad, my bad. I bet some there's some NHL players that probably could have gone into Major League Baseball. There's definitely some that probably could have played in the NFL if they would have done that with their career. Wayne, Brad Ski was a baseball player. He was.

He was. It's about all I got for you though. Let's keep this thing moving. Cool. Shout out to all the NBA players.

Travis Kelce
We're not calling you soft. It's just the different game, different world. And I respect your guys athleticism and your ability to play in the NBA. Do I think I could do it? Yes.

But that's just me. God. No comment.

Jason Kelsey
All right. We need to shout out one of our sponsors that you probably see us drinking all the time during the show. And that's accelerator active energy drink. And if you've been looking for ways to accelerate every day, look no further than accelerator active energy. Jason, what flavor is your favorite?

Man, I'm not gonna lie. I'm in New York and this is my first episode. I've done without accelerator in a long time. It's been a tough one. It won't happen again because I miss.

I miss it dearly. Yeah, if I was at the house, it'd probably be, you know, rocket pop or cherry limeade. Maybe if I was feeling a little. Crazy peach paradise, maybe a little tropical punch. There's nothing like those signature plant based thermogenics to give you the energy you need to record a podcast each and.

Every week for all the 92 percenters looking to get their hands on some accelerator you can buy accelerator active energy drink at Hyve, wawa and Meyer. Yes, sir. Don't forget accelerator. Josh, you're done with a commercial. Grab a chair in here.

Look at this. We're getting. We're getting bombed. We're getting bombed. Yeah.

Travis Kelce
Who we got on this thing? Looks like Travis is having a rough day, huh? Here, I'm going to take these off so you can talk. I love it. Rods, what's going on?

I'm living the dream, man. How about you? Everything's good until this big guy showed up, we haven't gotten any work done. The schedule is going to be about three weeks late. No way.

No way. Listen, thank you for giving me two prime time matchups early, baby. We love it. We love it. Arrowhead's going to be rocking and rolling.

Jason Kelsey
Wait, you might get more. Just wait. You don't got to threaten me with a good time.

Well, it's fun because this weekend my. Girls were tracking Travis and dancing in Paris. I think it was this weekend. I love it. I love it.

It's an incredible shot. They even gave me a shot of you up there dancing. It was pretty good. You know it, baby. It's very easy to keep tabs on Travis now.

Yeah, it's hard to be inconspicuous these days. Travis. Kelsey, that sounds like a good segment. Tabs on Travis. Travis, be careful.

Yeah, absolutely. You already know commissioner the man. Hopefully everything's going well back sometime this spring. I'm going to be. I'm going to be dancing around.

Travis Kelce
Yeah, I'm all over the world this. This offseason. But it'll be a nice. It's like my. It's like my gang to my gang.

You know, football. It keeps me locked in Kansas City during the season. And, you know, I just gotta. I gotta fly around and have some fun in the offseason, so. Sounds like a nice balance.

There we go, babe. Let's see. You're doing all right. Yeah, I think. Good to see you.

Jason Kelsey
No question about it. And no matter what you and your kids are getting up to do this summer, uncrustables are the perfect on the go snack for all the best activities, like summer camp, days of the pool, and for us, trips down the shore. All right? Now, uncrustables are also great for kids sports when parents get put on team snack duty. That's right.

Travis Kelce
Man, I wish someone would have brought in crustibles when I was so much better. Make sure you get your hands on some uncrustables this summer. 92 percenters they really are the perfect all around best on the go snack for activities. They are also incredibly convenient to purchase. You can find in crustibles in the freezer section of your local grocery store.

Gotta love it. All right, let's move on to out of the house. Out of the house is brought to you by our friends at accelerator active energy. Yeah, you can find accelerator at Hybe, wawa, Meyer and walmart.com. Oh, walmart.com.

Another edition. Nice. Walmart.com. Hey. Yeah.

Jason Kelsey
If you weren't on social media this week, Travis was out of the house last week and is still currently out of the house, as we see right here. Haven't seen my house in a while. Travis, you went to Paris? Yes, I went to France. How was it?

Travis Kelce
France? It was fun. It was a blast. I had a blast. At Tay's show, her new rendition of the heiress tour.

I suggest everybody go see it. It has her new torture to poets department, a few songs, a handful of those songs in the new show, which means there's a new segment and new lights and new, like dancing and new everything to the fucking show. So I suggest everybody get out there and see. It is absolutely unbelievable. I enjoyed every bit of it.

And sure enough, I got to see. I got to see a few familiar faces. Connor Barwin was up there, one of our favorite teammates of all time. Oh, yeah. CBD.

CB was up there, had some fun. He just happened to be out in Paris visiting his team, actually in Italy, and then came over to France right afterwards. Trieste. Yes, Trieste. And shout out to Trieste for advancing into the.

In the playoffs out there. And then I got to see Gigi and Bradley. Bradley Cooper. Man, BC, big coop. We were all in the.

In the suite having a blast. They're amazing. Did you talk about the Eagles? Of course. Bradley Cooper is a huge Eagles fan.

And he got to see mom. He got to see mom. He was opening a restaurant in, I believe in New York. I forget where exactly it is, but shout out to BC. And they were doing a fun, a fun presentation or a fun event for the ladies.

And mom pulled up and so did Miss Cooper, Bradley's mom. Nice. And a bunch of familiar faces as well. But, yeah, shout out to them. And on top of that, it was just an all around lovely night.

Jason Kelsey
I bet it was. You're now up to five concerts that you've seen. You've been to Kansas City, Argentina, Australia, Singapore, and now Paris. How does Paris compare to all of these other wonderful shows? Dude, that was.

Travis Kelce
I mean, I don't know. If they're just getting better or if I just keep forgetting how they are. I watched videos. It looked way more like it for some reason. And I'll tell you what.

Kansas City showed out. Argentina was unbelievable. Australia, they partied with the best of them, and they celebrate with the best of them. Those three were unbelievable. Singapore was so unique and so fun, and then Paris was just.

It was on a whole nother level, man. And I'm just. I'm happy for everybody that's in the Arrows tour, that's performing from the dancers to the. To the, you know, the band and obviously, Taylor, that it just looks like they're having so much fun up there, and they're absolutely killing it, and they're putting on a show that. That, you know, you won't get anywhere else.

Jason Kelsey
Well, you got caught pulling an Ed Kelsey move here, taking a video with your flash on. What are you doing, Travis? You're supposed to be better than this. I was doing what? Oh, you know, the settings on the camera, if it's dark, it's going to automatically put the flash on.

Travis Kelce
I don't. I don't. I don't understand what. So I was just trying to get some good, you know, some good video, some good memories. I don't give a damn.

Jason Kelsey
Probably got great video. That flash makes a big difference. A thousand feet that I get clowned for that. Sorry. You were also seen dapping up a fan of yours, wearing your jersey.

Travis Kelce
Yeah. Saw him at the Louis Vuitton store out there in Paris. Oh, really? Yeah. Yep.

They had a. They had a green new heights they had a green new heights hat on, as well as a Chiefs 89 jersey. The 89 being significant to 1989. Dude, that's a superfan. That's a 92 percenter right there.

Jason Kelsey
I love it. 92% are swifter, chief. Yeah. What is the three and one? He's got a lot of fandoms in there.

What else did you do in Paris? So you went to Louis Vuitton? Did you eat any? Did you. Did you go to any cafes?

Just a little cafe on the street. Sit down, have a croissant. No, I really didn't get to explore Paris too much. We'll do that some other time. Yeah.

Everyone be small. Yeah. I didn't get out there in time. Shout out to Paris for showing up and showing out at all the concerts. It looked absolutely amazing for the first three shows, and that last show was every bit of electric and just energy all night, man.

Travis Kelce
It was fun. Jumapel electric.

That's it. Dude, my name's electric. Now off to ask Kylie. That does it for out of the house. Brought to you by accelerator active energy drink.

Make sure you go get you some and accelerate your life. Moving on to some no dumb questions here that wrap up this episode with some no dumb questions because there's no such thing as dumb questions, just dumb people. Unfortunately, no dumb questions is brought to you by smuckers. Oh, smuckers. Uncrustable.

The best part of the sandwich. That's right. Sure is. From user Rambio rose 36 ramble on Rosa. There you go.

One of the Utah NHL team name choice is the yeti. How do you guys feel about the list of names and what would you like the new NHL team name to be called? So yeah, Utah is getting an NHL team, if you guys didn't know this. And one of their team choice names is the Yetis, which is pretty fucking cool. I think it's a great mascot.

I think it is a great name for Utah knowing that they're up in the mountains over there and they probably had a few yeti sightings here and there. Oh, no doubt. Sam squanches. Definitely the. The NHL is letting fans vote on the Utah team name.

Utah Eddie is an option. Utah yeti. What is the one thing I don't like about is that it's not plural. Like, when I think of animal names, they're always plural names. Like, I've never heard of an animal singular name.

Jason Kelsey
I can't think of one off the top of my head. Like, it's always like, it should be like the yetis. Right? Are they doing it like octopi where yeti is a plural form of yets cacti. Yeah.

Travis Kelce
Yeah. I don't know. It's a good point. I think it should be the Utah yetis if they. If they're going for it.

I do love the yetis. Or the yeti. The Utah yeti. It's great. You're right, though.

It does sound like it needs an. It needs to be. It's wrong. It's Utah yet ease. Like you.

Jason Kelsey
It's like it's not the Chicago bear. It's not the. The Philadelphia eagle. Like it's. It needs to be the Utah yet east.

Travis Kelce
What's the other word? Yeti. The sasquatch. The Utah sasquatch. Abominable snowman.

Jason Kelsey
Abominable snowmen. You do that bomb. That's a long. There's sasquatch, abominable snowmen, yeti. There's also another one that's like specific.

Travis Kelce
To a certain region. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. What's it called? I don't know.

Uh, the options to choose from are the frost, the Utah ice, utah powder. Uh, the Utah mountaineers don't love it. The Utah free. I like mountaineers. Powders week.

Jason Kelsey
Powder reminds me of, uh, that, uh, what was that movie with? It's called powder. Fine movie. It has a place in my mind that I don't love. Yeah.

Can't forget it. Fuck. Bullying. Um. Black diamonds.

Travis Kelce
The Utah black diamonds. Don't love that. The Utah blast. The Utah caribou. The utah blizzard.

Swamp. Swarm. The utah swarm the utah hive. Outlaws. Yeti.

The squale. Squall. Squall. The fury. The glaciers.

Canyons. Utah canyons. It's got a kind of a ring to it. It doesn't give, doesn't strike fear in anybody, though. The Utah venom.

Why would it be that? And HC, which stands for that, is so wack. Start doing this bullshit. Don't hockey. Don't do hockey has got some of.

Jason Kelsey
The best mascots and jersey designs out there. Don't start bringing this. Not just some of the best. The best. Yeah.

Travis Kelce
Literally the best. Where are you going with out of these? Out of these. Who are you going with? I like one specific.

Jason Kelsey
Well, first of all, I love the Utah yetis. I think that's a great name. That's a. And it's a good ring. Yeah, it's really good.

Travis Kelce
I think it's a little childish for a hockey team. I like the Utah outlaws. Outlaws. I don't like it because I don't know that has anything to do with Utah. Like, I guess it does because it's like the lock part of the west.

Jason Kelsey
Yeah, but I don't think outlaws. When I think of Utah, I think of Mormons. I think of the opposite of outlaws. I think about pretty much the most law abiding citizens on the planet. When I think of Utah, you must not know.

Yeah, I must not know the outlaws. Right next to. Right next to all those jazz players in Utah.

I kind of did. Utah frost or Utah ice. Like, it's. I think I see what they're going for with those. It's just so simple, though.

Travis Kelce
It's just so simple. Blizzard is pretty good. Squall is too weak. It's gotta be. It can't be a winter squall.

Jason Kelsey
Glaciers. Utah glaciers. Glacier national Park, I think is partly in Utah and Montana. What do you think of the mammoths? The Utah mammoths, I mean, I dig it.

Travis Kelce
It's too hard to put an s on the end of a th though. Mammoths. The Utah mammoths. It feels weird when these are all singular. Like, I don't.

Jason Kelsey
Maybe I just can't. When I think of an animal, it needs to be plural. I don't know why it doesn't fit in my brain being a singular animal. Utah. I think you guys just got to keep digging.

Travis Kelce
I don't love any of these. I kind, I'm kind of on board with yeti and outlaws. I'm on board with yetis. I'm on board with the Utah. Ooh.

Jason Kelsey
How about we combine two? The Utah ice outlaws. Now we got. That's a. That's.

I can get behind that now.

Travis Kelce
And that does it for no dumb questions. Brought to you by smuckers uncrustable. Good luck to you Utah hockey fans. Your new, your new team is. Who knows what it's going to be called, but I know it's pretty exciting getting a, getting a pro sports team added to the city.

So have fun with that, guys. No dumb question is brought to you by smuckers. Uncrustable is the best part of the sandwich. Shout out to uncrustables. Crown Royal call to action.

Jason Kelsey
One last thing before we wrap. We partnered up with our friends over at Crown Royal to recognize some special 92 percenters who are doing big things in their communities. We're talking about real world underdogs, not sports world underdogs. That's right. Teachers, coaches, first responders, nurses, sanitation workers.

It can be anybody. Basically, any 92 percenter over the age of 21 who you think is taking their community to new heights, baby. You can go ahead and submit their name and photo as well as any fun on the job story about them giving back to our email@newheightshowmail.com. Be sure to include date of birth, social account, and mailing address. The winners are going to be featured on some upcoming episodes, and Crown Royal will also be hooking them up with some free stuff.

Please drink responsibly. All right, now. All right, now. That's it. That does it.

Can't wait to see your guys. Submissions. Kind of want to create, like, some shirts off of these guys. Like, we have all the shirts about athletes. Like, we got the, like, Jason Kelsey, Travis Kelsey NBA jam shirt.

I think it'd be cool to have a fireman Dan with his stats listed underneath them. I'd rock that shirt. I'm so in on that. I'm so in on that. I think that'd be dope.

Yeah. Submit your underdogs. And we look forward to seeing you know who's taking their community to new heights. That's a wrap on this show, though. It's over.
