Jason In the Ring, Travis in the Desert and Our Live Show Recap

Travis Kelce

I had a beer in my hand and I had to receive the diploma, so I had to get the beer out of my hand some way. It happened to be full. Don't know how that happened. Well, it kind of stayed full as we saw when you threw it on the ground. If there's anything anybody should have been upset with, it's the fact that you didn't finish that chub.

Jason Kelce

There was a village to consider that a successful chug.

Travis Kelce

Welcome back to new heights, presented by Wavesports Entertainment and brought to you by Buffalo wild Wings. Let's go, sports bar. That was terrible, everyone. You're fired from ever clapping didn't sound good. Alongside.

Yeah, my claps were asked, too. But that's what kind of day it is. New episodes come to you every single Wednesday. Subscribe on YouTube and wherever you get your podcast and follow the show on all social media at new heights. Show with one s and check out our official fan club@newheightshow.com.

With one s as well. Jason, tell the people what we got coming up. But we got another fantastic episode. Travis is going to present what took place at our first arena live shown. That's pretty special.

Jason Kelce

It was an awesome show in Cincinnati. Cincinnati showed up. The university showed up. It was a fantastic evening. So grateful, man.

We're also going to get to talking about out of the house. There's been some photos and things leaking on both of our accounts over the last couple of weeks, so we're going to talk about all that as well as maybe eventually talk about, you know, football. You want to talk about football now? Haven't talked about it in like four weeks on this show, so I guess probably there are still some football fans that watch. Is there anything going on right now?

There's always something going on. The NFL has got this figured out at all times of the year. There's contracts being done. There's Ota. Like the only dead period in the NFL is that like four to six month time period when everybody takes vacation in the summer?

That's about it. Outside of that, there's something happening at all times, which, thank you, because it gives us stuff to talk about in the show. All right, now we're going to get. To the first segment. As always.

Travis Kelce

As always, new news coming in hot. Still don't have a voice from screaming all day in the University of Cincinnati. First bit of new news is he must have heard us talking about him last week on, uh, on the episode with Lil Dicky kind of lurker because my brother Cheeto Santino Andrew Santino is going to be joining us next week on the podcast. I'm so pumped. If you haven't seen his podcast, Whiskey Ginger, please go watch it.

Absolutely hilarious. My favorite comedian out right now, one of my. One of my good friends, man. Have you guys been calling him Cheeto? Yes, his.

His name. Cheeto. Why Cheeto? He looks like a cheeto cuz he's got red hair. Yeah, I would assume that's the connection.

There might be something deeper. How about this, Jason? We have to find out when he comes on the show. All right, now. Appreciate you, uh, joining us, Cheeto.

I fucking love you, man. We'll talk about his stand up, what projects he's been working on, um, and the time I spent on his podcast wearing some very, very, very short shorts that I haven't worn ever since. How short? I mean, they were definitely a mid thigh. They were almost as short as the shorts you were wearing.

Jason Kelce

Well, those shorts weren't that short. Those are like regular length shorts. Yeah, good point. All right. My nuts were hanging out.

Travis Kelce

All right, well, make sure you tune in next week for that one. I promise you, you won't want to miss it. Next bit of new news. We're going to talk about something that isn't, I guess, new news, or it kind of still news, but we haven't talked about it yet. And that is Travis and Pat Mahomes are getting into the restaurant business together.

Jason Kelce

That's right. All right. Now, their legendary connection on the field isn't iconic enough. They're now going to connect off the field as partners in the new steakhouse in Kansas City called 1587 prime. Why is it 1587?

Is that a set of year that's specific to the both of you guys? Nope. Just. Just a couple of random numbers thrown together. No, honestly, it's.

Travis Kelce

It's always been pretty cool to see the. The support that we get out in Kansas City. So we wanted to make sure we. We showed that love back. Doing things in the community is something that we're both heavily, heavily involved in.

And so this time, we wanted to make a restaurant, man, why not have one of the coolest steakhouses and one of the, you know, best hotels in the. In the city, downtown Kansas City at the lows. And it's just, uh. It's going to be awesome, man. I can't wait to show, uh, Kansas City our love for food and, uh, and dining experiences, because, uh, that's one thing me, Pat, and, um.

And then the gang love to do, man. We love to just go out and just pig out at all the best restaurants in the world. So we thought we'd have our own rendition in Kansas City, man. Shout out to the noble 33 group that, uh, we're teaming up with a lot of our favorite restaurants have been with them over the years, and it's. It's pretty cool.

Teaming up with them, knowing just good vibes. Good, good people, good, genuine people, hardworking people on both ends, and just love the mashup. Well, this is being called, quote, a modern american steakhouse is the kind of steakhouse is going to be. It is set to open in 2025, as Travis said, in the Lowe's Kansas City hotel. Are you guys going to be like Todd Herman's and Brent Selleck when they open their bar in Philly and everyone needs for free?

Jason Kelce

Players eat for free? Probably not, but, yeah, I'll pick up the bill. I'll pick up the bill. Guys, every now and then, every now and then, you guys might be able. To survive solely on rookie dinners.

Do you think there's gonna be a lot of rookie dinners enjoyed at 1587? I don't know, Jason. I never had a rookie dinner. They never did that with you, huh? No, not me.

Fasano. I thought he saw. No, didn't put take eyes on as a. On a rookie dinner. I think we all might have grabbed dinner, but it wasn't like, hey, we're going to dinner and we're going to pig out, and we're going to get the most expensive alcohol we can, and you're going to pay for it.

Travis Kelce

It wasn't a situation like that. I mean, it's a pretty ridiculous tradition that the NFL does with rookies. I mean, it's absurd. Especially the rookies that don't have a lot of money. Like, everybody has a lot of money.

Jason Kelce

But I feel like the veterans should be imparting wisdom of saving your money and not spending it frivolously on shots of Louie the 13th or whatever the heck that whiskey is, which is like, $200. I'd rather not drink warm gasoline. I'm all right. Yeah, I I've never understood the. Whatever this is for another topic, but what is gonna be on the menu at 1587 prime?

Travis Kelce

Um, I don't know. Probably have some. Probably have some pat's ketchup. I don't know. Pat has his own ketchup.

Well, I mean, he is a big catch up guy, so I would assume. Is it, like, fancy ketchup? We know he's a big whataburger. Whataburger. Guy.

Jason Kelce

Yeah, they're going to be fancy ketchup. There might be prime, there might be. We're, we're putting together menus and everything right now. It probably won't be up and running until after this, this upcoming season, but yeah, we're putting together all the, all the fun stuff right now. Does pat dip his steak and ketchup?

Travis Kelce

Breakfast, lunch and dinner? Everything? Dude, it's, it's just a, it's just what he does. It's what he's been doing. He'll get like a nice bone in Ribeye, cut it up and dip it in ketchup.

I'm pretty sure I've seen it before. Wow. He's real back on it a lot from, from what I remember. But.

Jason Kelce

Steak houses that has like the wagyu, like steak in it, I think every place. I can't, yeah, I can't tell you exactly. I know we want to keep it kind of like centered around Kansas City and. Am I the only person? I'm not sure.

Travis Kelce

You might be. Yeah. I just, I've had it a few times. A few times. I've had it quite a few times and it is fucking delicious.

I can't just have a steak like a, like a twelve ounce wagyu steak. I can't. That's what I mean. I can have like two stuff. Yeah.

It's very rich in terms of its like too much fatty flavor. Yeah. But that's why I usually get like a big old ribeye or a big steak. You put that thing on a taco. Whoa.

You put that thing on like a burger. Whoa. It's too much for a whole steak. Steak. It just by itself is a lot.

Jason Kelce

I feel like I can just feel my arteries clogging as this stuff is dripping down my gullet. That's pretty, I just dripping down my gullet. You and the gullet is hilarious, man. Right down my gullet. It's a good word.

Travis Kelce

Yeah. No, I'm not sure what's on the menu. I'm not really even sure what's going to be specific to me and pat in the restaurant, but we're definitely going to put something together. We're excited about it. Shout out to noble 33.

Shout out to Patty, my homes and shout out to Kansas City. We've been, we've been wanting to keep doing fun stuff for you guys in the community and hopefully you guys can get excited for this one. There is a question from a 92 percenter out there on Club 92 from Mad dog B 41. Will Jason be providing the cows for Travis's new steakhouse. I can say that before Travis answers.

Jason Kelce

We don't have enough cows. Provide a whole steakhouse with meats. But I. We can provide a steak. Maybe one of the steaks is adjacent.

I mean, I don't want to leap to conclusions as Travis, your steak house, but you want one of my cows for a steak? Like a nice, um, maybe ground. Oh, no. Let me take it. Let me take a game.

Travis Kelce

These cows look like. Fair enough. That's a no, ladies and gentlemen. And we're also been nominated for more awards. That's right.

Jason Kelce

First up, we've officially been nominated for four Webby awards. How about that? Podcast co host, which I guess would be Travis and I podcast best video series, which I don't podcast. Sports podcasts, which, again, I think that's us again. Social content series of sports podcasts.

Travis Kelce

Judge J. That's a direct shout out to our one and only Jets Jake. That's right. Get a yard in the NFL. But he can.

He's up for a Webby. That's right. Proud of him. Lead social producer for. For new heights is up for his own Webby.

How about it? I don't know. Is this a thing? Thank you. Most importantly to the 92 percenters for continuing to tune into the show.

Jason Kelce

You guys are what makes this show fun every single week. We enjoy doing this. We have no idea what we're embarking. On each and every week and no idea. But we enjoy bringing, literally, the two most clueless guys to ever be up for an award.

There's a lot of support in this room from a lot of people that. That you don't get to see on camera as often as Travis and I, and they're really what make the show. As you can see, I'm always looking over here, and that's because I'm directly reading everything that Brandon has written down. None of these. None of these thoughts are mine.

Travis Kelce

I'm Ron Burgundy. If you wanted to help us sweep all four of these categories, there is still time to vote for the Webby People's Voice award. Voting closes tomorrow, April 18, so you know what to do. 92 percenters and swifties, of course. We'll put all the links in the episode description.

Jason Kelce

Let's help judge Jake get his social producer, Webby. I think that'd be a big one for Jets Jake. He'd be able to wear it proudly. Let's do it. It has also just been announced, as we're taping this, that we are finalists for best sports podcasts at the Shorty awards.

The other finalists are all the smoke nightcap. It's a great one with shout out to on the Joel Klatt show, big noon conversations, as well as the Mina Kime show featuring Lenny. Don't know who Lenny is, but I know who Mina Kimes is, and it's probably great. You can vote for us daily through April 30 at shortyawards.com vote. All righty, it's time now to shout out our next sponsor, Buffalo Wild Wings.

Hey, trav. Yeah, what's up, Jason? Let's go. Okay, let's do this. Let's go and get some takeout orders from Buffalo wild Wings.

Travis Kelce

Ooh. Go, Buffalo Wild Wings. Go. All right, now, for 92 percenters who didn't already know, takeout and delivery from buffalo Wild Wings is now officially called Buffalo Wild wings. Go.

Jason Kelce

And right now, until April 30, when you order with buffalo wild wings. Go, you can get six free wings with a minimum purchase of $10 in promo code. Go, wings. Let's go. Jason, what b dub sauce are you getting with your six free wings?

Oh, man. I know this is not fancy, but honey barbecue probably. I love their honey barbecue. I've always been a fan of their honey barbecue. That's damn good.

Honey barbecue. Yep. Or parmesan garlic. I do. Or the, you know.

Or just straight up buffalo. Yeah. I don't know. It's gonna be tough. I mean, they got so many good ones.

Travis Kelce

You can't miss. For a limited time, get free. Six free wings for takeout and delivery with buffalo wild wings. Go through the B Dubs website or app. We need to shout out one of our sponsors, and that is the one you probably see is drinking all the time, and that's because it sponsors this show, accelerator active energy drink.

And if you've been looking for ways to accelerate your fitness, look no further than accelerator active energy. Jason, what flavor you got over there? Just finished off a nice little bit of a rocket pop. Ooh, I had a rock a pop tropical punch, and I'm on my third one, my cherry ice pop. That's what I got.

Jason Kelce

Good luck going to sleep tonight. Accelerator active energy has zero sugar, gives you sustained energy, gets your metabolism going, gives you the enhanced focus you need to accomplish anything, like maybe doing a live show at third arena or getting in the ring at WrestleMania. All right, now, plus, there's nothing like those signature plant based thermogenics to give you the energy you need to record a podcast each and every week. You can find accelerator active energy at quick trip, giant Eagle, Meyer, and for all of my Philadelphia people, our favorite energy drink is now available at. Wow.

How about that? Go pick up your favorite accelerator flavor. And if you don't know what that is, it is cherry limeade. Just to let you know. And be like, me and Trav.

Sipping it all day long. All day long, baby. And for those who don't live near any of those great retailers, it's always available on Amazon. All right, now it's time to talk about our next sponsor, Tommy John. Yeah.

Travis Kelce

This is a bold statement, Jason. I'm gonna say it. Tommy John underwear is claiming they have the most comfortable underwear out there, and I think you should be the deciding factor on that statement. As I've said on this show, I do not wear underwear, and I don't wear underwear based on comfort. The reason I don't wear underwear is because I find it unnecessary and problematic to the freedom that my boys like to enjoy.

Jason Kelce

If that's gonna change, I don't. I guess I don't think that's going to change. So I'm curious to see what you're come or what time. What do you. When do you wear underwear wet?

Travis Kelce

What situation do you actually wear underwear? Every time I'm working out, like, if I'm doing something physical, I'll wear, like, my thighs chafe. So I do have to wear. So chafe. Okay.

Jason Kelce

Yeah. You don't have to wear. What are they called? Like. So when you're working out, it's like a compression short.

Compression short. Like a, like a very compression shorts. Like a heavy polyester physical activity. It reduces the walking. You're in luck because Tommy John does have a compression, like, sportsy athletic wear type of material.

I'll try that out. There you go. If anybody else deal. Wants to try these Tommy John drawls as Jason is going to give it a try. You can go to tommyjohn.com and use the code, you guessed it, new heights for 20% off.

Alrighty. That's tommyjohn.com. Use code new heights for 20% off. Check it out and stay tuned to this ad read to see if Tommy John can deliver on the feeling that. My, my, your cohon is, you know.

I think you know what I'm saying. You jump if it can deliver on the proper feel to the nether region.

Let's get to what everybody has been talking about the last few weeks. And that's our second new heights live show. Oh, my gosh. It was a sold out crowd of 13,000. So third arena, so electric.

We're also glad that it moved indoors. I was the one who was pushing very hardly for it to be in Nipper. For those of you that don't know, Nippert Stadium is Cincinnati's football stadium. Historic Nipper Stadium. Over 100 years old, folks.

Travis and I practiced and played games on that stadium every day. Blood, sweat and tears, boys. It's also a unique stadium that is part of campus. Like, it's open during the day. You can you at any time of the day, you'll see kids eating lunch down there.

When it's nice out, you'll see people playing ultimate Frisbee. It's. It's very much a part of the university as opposed to, I think, any other college football stadium in the country. I remember students coming to watch practice and just like go over their work. Well, that was a big problem.

People could just videotape practices from opposing teams, which is why it's no longer there. One of the reasons, I'm sure. But it was, it was completely open at all times other than outside of events and games. But we were definitely looking forward to showcasing the uniqueness that is nippered stadium. But we moved it indoors because of really weather.

And I think it was the right decision on all accounts, which should have been indoors from the beginning. I screwed that up. It definitely was. The weather made me see what everybody else saw from the beginning, which is it's going to be way more fun in front of a packed out indoor arena at fifth, 3rd. It was amazing.

And it started right with the entrance for the great Lumbaby games. Brandis introduced us. There was smoke, there was fire, there was an injury risk. I mean, I don't know how you running through that smoke was not, um. We had no idea.

Travis Kelce

I thought I was going to just run through somebody just like take out ten cheerleaders. It was literally running blind for a good like ten to 15ft too. It wasn't just like, oh, you're through the wall. It was like.

Jason Kelce

Dude, I was like. Just making sure I didn't kill somebody. And then there was that blue, the blue tarp for the first baby games like event was right there. And I kind of tripped on it. I stepped on it in an awkward way.

Travis Kelce

Dude, I stepped on it. It has nothing to do with dragging my drag. It was the fat. Like, you were trying to stay in bounds in the end zone.

Just random toe drag. I stepped on it, though, in the, in the mist and I was like, oh, no, but, but you didn't because you're lesser athlete. Yeah, well, the intro is electric. The fans were in it right from. The get go and from the gig was.

Jason Kelce

I mean, the whole night was over 4 hours long. It was a long day. I didn't even realize it was that long. We just felt like we were in there enjoying the hell out of it. We started at seven and ended after 11:00.

It was a long day. There was one intermission, which we needed badly, but the fans at all times were into it. They were cheering, they were yelling, they were throwing things. It was, it was a fun, fun evening. There's also a great video of us dancing on stage before the game started.

One of the 92 percenters got this. And I think I can pretty much squash any doubt of my dancing abilities with this video right here. I think I finally put the rest. Anybody's opinion that I can't dance cause I don't do other people's moves. I'm an original content creator.

That move is called the linebacker jiggle, because you, you need your knees inside your toes as a linebacker in any direction. Everybody knows this. Everybody knows. But you also need that hip flexibility to be able to make a tackle. So to me, it's demonstrating my linebacker ability with this dance move right here.

Travis Kelce

That's pretty good with great rhythm and. Gracefulness, if I might add. Yeah. Still had the jeans on at this point, so it was a little stiff, but. Well, the jeans were, they're very stretchy.

Got nice, comfortable wranglers. Where are those things? I don't even know what brand that is, but I. They're broken. I had to toss them after the event because I ripped a hole in them and.

Oh, that's what happened. Well, there's, there's a bunch of ass sweat. And then when I took them off, I realized that there was a hole in them as well. And I don't know what point. Probably rifted doing this thing.

Yeah, right here. No, I mean, this is right here. Wasn't this. This is a move that wouldn't rip them, but something I did. Did.

All right, well, I was, I was impressed. I even gave you your props afterwards. Okay, Jason, I see you. I see you busting it out, showing how fuck. Is this?

What happened? Wow. You can really see the difference between moves in the short clip, Jason. Very jerky. Whereas Travis hips, legs, movement just seemed to flow.

I'm very flowy. I am very. Fuck does Patricia. L know? What does she know?

Jason Kelce

Huh? Let's. I was going for jerky. You got to be able to show explosion. Explosion happens.

Jerky. Thank you for telling Jason that he's not smooth. I like showing off jerkiness because it shows that I have impeccable explosion. It's a good point. I'm not sure.

Travis Kelce

So what is. Is she saying? She's not saying any. She's not saying anything bad. She's just noticed.

She's saying that it's jerky, so it might not even be. I think you're just reading it in a negative way. You're right, Patricia. I take back what I said.

Kaylee. One a seven. I said, what is Jason doing now? That seems to be a shot. That was a shot.

Jason Kelce

No. Well, she just didn't know. She's asking, and then she's crying because she doesn't know. Like, those aren't. Some people put those as laughing tears, but she's literally crying cause she wants to know what that incredible dance move that I just pulled off was.

Travis Kelce

You have a unique way of reading. Things, and we've already been over this. That's the linebacker shuffle. All right. Bluey adiva 289 on Twitter.

Doesn't even look as if they're dancing to the same music. I thought it did. I thought we were. Yeah, we're both in the same rhythm. Yeah.

Jason just looks like a Sims character.

Jason Kelce

Alrighty. After the dancing, we got into the. Great limb baby games, and it couldn't have started off any better than I could have imagined. Yeah, it was fucking. I was unbelievable from the get go.

My man Zach. So I guess we'll the greatly baby games. I love how you got to tell everybody that's your guy now. Like, it was kind of fucked up what I did, but that's my guy, dude. Me and Zach became best friends after this, and he came into clutch in the team relay at the end with the.

With the final sprint to secure victory for team academic, aka team nerds. Oh, man. For those of you that have not been following last few weeks and are just turning into great Lumbaby games was a competition between student athletes and non student athletes, team academic and team athletic. It was a nod to revenge of the nerds and in some ways, like global guts. Like, it was.

It was a. A very unique game show that was created, for the most part, by our incredible team. Let's give it up for our incredible team in new heights. Yeah. Team so good.

It was unbelievable. The game said they starting right away, so we had eight events. The first one was helmet toss. Helmet toss. Where we got everybody is.

We got two competitors dizzy as possible. Then they had to try and hurl helmets at these cardboard cutouts. Of Travis and I. And if you guys want to see how well that first event went, you can watch this clip right now.

There's definitely a difference in the speed at which I'm spinning, Zach, and the speed at which you are spinning. Zude is clinging on for dear life. His head almost hit the pole multiple times. That's exactly why I wasn't spinning that fast. Jillian was.

Travis Kelce

She's a. She's like an athlete at University of Cincinnati. If I would have spun her to the point of, like, hitting her head. Oh, my God. Eats it.

The first 2nd ends up in our guy Larry Shakeley's lap, and then finds himself in the first 1st row, second row, you know, and by the time he gets up and runs over, the game is done. I gotta say, the one thing that, I mean, Zack is clearly the highlight of this video. I don't want to take away from my man Zack, but because everybody keeps focusing on Zack, people are not noticing just the deathly accuracy at which Jillian nailed these two cardboard cutouts with the NFL helmet. Two shots. Bang, bang.

Jason Kelce

Easiest thing I've ever done in my life. Even if you're not dizzy to throw a football helmet, it's not like it's the easiest thing in the world to do with any type of accuracy. How did she looks back before throwing the first helmet? Like, is something happening? Because the entire crowd is going crazy over Zach.

Travis Kelce

Zach just ate it. He took two steps.

Jason Kelce

That was the first event which team jocks took. It was like there was a magnet that he had no control of just fucking pulling him towards the stand. Yeah, he was. He was definitely leaning hard to the right. Ah, yes.

Travis Kelce

That's so good, man. Oh, my God. When I saw his hair flying like a cape while you were spinning him, I was like, this dude is about to be me miserable. When he gets up, he's holding on like, for dear life while I'm spitting Miss Hayes over there, and she's just. Yeah, I mean, not a concern in the world.

Jason Kelce

Well, after that event, the jocks went up one nothing, and we went right to Jason. Lost his ring, where we had a full vat of skyline chili. This is actually technically a three way. It's not just Skyland Chile. There's spaghetti in there.

Cheese. And do this again. It was, folks, the video does not do justice. Just how disgusting this was. I had to get away from that corner, man.

Travis Kelce

I mean, I would get away from that corner. I would. Skyline twice over the weekend. I love Scotland Chile. This chili had been sitting out for, like, some time period.

It smelled so bad in that part of the arena. It was disgusting. It was just it. The pungent odor coming from these children's pools filled with skyline chili three ways was absolutely disgusting. Oh my God.

Jason Kelce

Mixed into that chili, there were socks with some make believe rings. And then there's actually only r1 ring in there, which was my Super bowl ring. But there was another kind of like replica Super bowl ring. So there were two Super bowl esque rings that they had to try and find one in each pool. And here's the clip for that one.

Travis Kelce

Jesus. I don't want to watch it. I'll let you guys watch it. It'll be disgusting. Oh no.

Jason Kelce

What is happening?

Team academic went right away with the shenanigans and then team jocks did not disappoint. She jumped right into the other chili and I mean, it was a genius strategy. Just started playing defense, essentially thought it was great. Like, just like, hey, let's just strategy. We didn't differentiate that you couldn't go into the other person's pool.

I thought that was a brilliant strategy. That's a big. That's a big thing that I was thinking of. I'm like, man, if I was in these games I'd fucking cheat my ass off. Cuz nobody's really.

We're giving very vague rules on. I want the creative, creative of how do we cheat or get advantage not cheating because it's not stipulating the rules. We like creative breaking any rules here with things. So the first person to find the super ring won and it ended up being team academic. But there was an unfortunateness, as you guys know the this game existed because I continually lose my super bowl ring.

And I don't even know if Travis still knows this, but I legitimately lost my Super bowl ring in this event. They could not find it. This is Jets Jake intern Brandon the next day searching through the chili to try and find the sock that had my Super bowl ring in it. We have still yet to find it. All of this stuff has been thrown away.

So I think we can safely assume that my Super bowl ring is now in a landfill someplace in the Cincinnati tri tri state area. I didn't think that would happen. What did you expect to happen? I thought that we would just go in the pool and get the ring afterwards. But they were such a fucking embassy.

Travis Kelce

And there was so much God damage. Calamity happening that at some point, the only thing I can think of is at some point the sock got kicked out of the three way and it made its way out of the pool and that it was thrown away in some shape or form. But, yes, the. The super ring is officially gone. We've already put the insurance claim in, which I think the insurance company might have some things to say about whether they're.

Yeah, 100% they're gonna have, especially if you're gonna tell the entire world how you lost it. Well, I didn't lose it. First of all. I knew exactly where it was. No, you didn't.

Jason Kelce

It was in that. Nobody knew where it was. It's the same thing as, like, if I let. You saw. You saw my house and took it.

It's the exact same scenario, Jason. You didn't put that Super bowl ring in a sock and put it in the pool. You didn't do that. Doesn't matter where I put it. I can put it wherever I want as long as I know where it's at.

And I knew where somebody at some point. Somebody at some point messed with my Super bowl ring, which I'm fine with. I mean, it's just a hunk of metal. I'll just have another one made. I think they can do that, right?

Travis Kelce

I don't know, Jason. Probably. I guess we're gonna find out. It's also, Greg got a metal detector, which I don't know if kids, if. You'Re watching at home, do not do what Jason's doing.

Don't do this. Greg. The metal detector doesn't work. He didn't know this. But there's actually metal in skyline, Chile.

Jason Kelce

There's traces of iron within the chile itself, so it's an impossible task to try and use a metal detector. There's probably lead as well in there. Some. Oh, man. So, upon truly losing my soul, my Super bowl ring, there was the next event, which was the electric trivia.

This event consisted of two contestants trying to answer trivia questions while riding a mechanical bull shocker. It didn't go well. Neither the godfather nor the team nerds competitor offered much of a valiant effort. I will say. Also incredibly hard questions, like, it was like, inside joke questions, like, they couldn't just go with regular trivia.

Our team had to go, like, new heights related trivia. Yep. You gotta watch the show, guys, if you're gonna. Apparently gotta watch the show. Apparently, they were not big 92 percenters, because there were also some questions that I didn't know.

There was like, I forgot all about this. But either way, we had to resort to the tiebreaker, which I like to call common knowledge question. Jason is so ridiculous. Travis knows that common knowledge question has always been a part of our repertoire in determining which direction a waterfall goes when you are doing a drinking game. But you can watch that at some point and you'll find out how that works.

But just ask a question that you know both people should know the answer to, and the first person to blurt out the answer. There's no buzzer. It's just say it as fast as possible. Say it as fast as possible. If it sounds like the same time, you just call it a time.

You go to the next question. There's got to be a clear winner. And the undisputed winner was Dante, the Godfather. That's right. Hungry bearcats run faster.

Hungry bear cats run faster. Travel. This was a. This was. This one.

Travis Kelce

Yeah, this one was pretty tough. I'm not going to lie. I didn't. I didn't think this was going to be a great ending. I was actually encouraging the crowd to chant puke to just get it over with.

I just wanted it. Yeah, because it was taking stipulate that. Puking would get you disqualified in this event. I think it's just. I think you said it midway through.

You're like, oh, she's about to puke. If she does puke, she is disqualified. I had to, like, stipulate that just so everybody knew. I probably. Oh, didn't forgot to say this at the beginning.

This is the longest fast eating competition that anybody's ever had, and it's only three hot dogs. I'm not exaggerating. I ate three cheese conies that night, casually, faster than they ate three for speed. Like, it was alarming, the slowness at which both of them were eating. I talked to both of them after the race, and neither one of them eat chili.

Jason Kelce

So neither one of them had ever. Had skyline chili, which is rightfully so. You should never actually eat that shit. All right, Juliet. Look at this picture of Juliet.

She was struggling. Let me tell you, folks. I was struggling.

And we found out that she's actually. She was in France. She was a good sport about it. Though, upon being a hept athlete, which apparently she's a very good track runner. So the expectation was high for her to do this drill.

Well, the american skyline chili was just too much for her french palette to enjoy. She was really. I mean, I like. I don't even know if you could count how many times she dry he. The French don't eat that was happening.

Travis Kelce

If it was a. If it was a hot dog of fogwa. Yeah, she would have nailed it. She would have fucking rolled through that shit. Yeah.

Jason Kelce

If it was like a croissant with brie cheese and some duck, she would have, like. It would have been like a. Wow. But the skyline chili, she could just, like. You could tell she was questioning being in America the entire time she was eating that.

Travis Kelce

What the fuck am I doing here? Yeah, no, I feel. I felt bad for it. Cause I would have probably have done the exact same thing she did. And just so everybody knows, like, they didn't pick their events.

They just got, like, randomly thrown into these events. Well, I think they got to pick, but they got very vague descriptions of. What the events were. That is correct. You said it correctly.

Jason Kelce

So I think they found out that this was, like a running competition. They're like, hey, let's put the track athlete in this one. Little did she know. That's what we told him. I don't know what they told him.

Travis Kelce

It's gonna be Brody. It's gonna be a relay. Yes. Oh, my gosh. That's so fucking.

That's fucked up, to be honest. That's how you trick them. That's. They both went for it, though. And let me tell you, as many times as Juliet dry heaved, she never gave up.

Jason Kelce

She kept trying to get that. She kept down. I would. Have ran off. And she had, like, Juliet hadn't even, like, finished half of her Kony.

Travis Kelce

I would have just been like, all right, this race is over. I'm not guzzling these things down any faster than what I am right now. And she's clearly out to a head start. And fuck this. The perseverance that Juliet showed.

She probably has chili still somewhere in her teeth. It was. It was inspirational. Julia. And then the Kelsey computer.

Jason Kelce

I don't know if you can hear from the clip, but the nerds were the best at understanding the family feud ness of this event. They were in with the crowd. Cause there were people shouting out these answers, folks. And I know that they were doing it because we were the furthest away in the middle of the stage, and we could hear every single people that were shouting it out. And they were right every single time.

All they had to do was say the answer. That was being shouted by the entire stadium. And the nerds were the only team able to figure that out. Nerds took Kelsey computer. Then we leapt into the tush push, which was an event, which I don't know why it was called the tush push.

Probably just a branding thing, because there's. Everybody knows what the tush push is, but it was a contraption from our friends over at party city. Gotta love it. Had a duck and a jump thing. Here's the clip of that.

This is a clip of me actually, in the beginning, testing it out. And let me tell you, pretty good. It was hard to, to like. It's about, there's something about a fat. Guy jumping in Tim's.

Travis Kelce

That's just, it's, it's impressive. It's almost. I don't know if it's impressive to the eyes. I don't know. I don't know if it's impressive, but it's fun to watch.

I was, like, smiling the entire time, watching you do it, I'm just like, it's coming. One of these times, he's not going to be able to get over. Hey, girly, you made that. Good job. Sorry, why was showing me a fish you made?

Jason Kelce

All right, good ice. What kind of fish was it? Was a flounder. Goldfish fish. It kind of did have a flounder.

It was very flat because it was two dimensional, which I. Flounder. Only two dimensional fish out there. Right. All right, good.

But who want to push? Oh, push was jockey jocks, which there's not a flying colors, I'm not gonna lie. Sahiti just, just ate it just kept. Competition about jumping, and she just, like, decided at some point she was like, I'm just gonna out muscle these girls. We didn't clarify.

Travis Kelce

We should have clarified that. If you get touched by the. You're out. That's here. Out.

Jason Kelce

I mean, she could. No effort. That's what I'm saying. Her thighs have got to just have bruises all along that right side of her. Bruises.

Travis Kelce

It was a pillow. She was getting hit with a pillow, Jason. I mean, she was essentially in a UFC fight, taking kicks to the leg. I mean, it was so funny. She was just like, there's no way I'm getting over this jump thing.

So I'm just gonna keep, keep just getting whacked in the thighs. She really struggled in that one. But I mean, she almost lasted. I mean, yeah, no, I actually, I had to call it because the, the other two girls were actually, like, jumping over. Under.

Yeah, they were actually in it. So you were on her moment her foot stepped out.

Because she kept putting 1ft out. I'm like, all right, I'm not going to be a stickler and say that's out, but if she, if both those feet are off the x, she's off for mark one more time, I'm, I'm calling it. Yeah, well, because that would have, they would have just been going forever. Yeah. So the.

The athletes won that one, and then, um, Travis Bellingbee, because, of course, I can't spell squirrel. I can't spell Schwarzenegger. I can't spell anything. Yeah. Why was it called the Travis spelling bee?

Because I'm pretty sure all of them were words that I should have been able to spell that I didn't. You can spell gronkowski. I should be able to. I think you can get it. Gr o n k.

Gronk. Yep. Oh, wow. Ski. Yep.

Jason Kelce

Yeah. Nice. I fucking love Rob Gronkowski, though, man. I fucking love Gronkowski. How could I get that one wrong?

They got that one wrong, which I was surprised. That's one of the easier ones get. I fucking would have not been able to get Schwarzenegger, though. And I love him, too. I don't know that anybody's getting Schwarzenegger, including Arnold himself.

Can you imagine being Arnold on a scantron, trying to fill out that freaking. Name out of scan. All right, it is time for my fourth grade proficiency test. For your first question, input your name. Arnold.

Travis Kelce

I'm sorry, there's nothing. Arnold, you. You passed with flying colors, but you incorrectly put your name on the skagitron, and we can't accept this. That just weren't enough of a bubbles to put my name in. I don't know how.

Jason Kelce

I just made Arnold sound somewhat italian. All right, anyways, we also had Bearcat basketball player, son of Edrin James Jizzle James compete in the spelling bee with a huge moment at the end when the last word to decide the spelling bee was one that you guys are going to enjoy. Check out this clip.

Travis Kelce

The double r will get you nailed it. It'll get. You either know it or you don't. It's one of those. Only question Jizzle got right the entire competition, but he passed it with flying colors for his team.

Jason Kelce

And the jocks take the Travis Kelsey spelling beef. It's impressive. I would. That's one of those. That's one of those.

Travis Kelce

When you're looking at it, you think the relay race jocks are going to win that one. Spelling beat nerds are going to win that one. Yeah. Not the case sometimes. Not the case in the little baby games.

Jason Kelce

That's right. Not in the case of little baby games. And then out of nowhere, we just decided that the last game was for all the points. So every. We knew that in order to make the last game the most exciting, however the first seven events went, it was going to be worth the necessary amount of points.

To put either team over on the other one. So it was always going to come down to the sports pod relay race. So ridiculous. And team academics crushed it. Team athletes really got stuck finding the jeans for Jason.

Travis Kelce

Was there ever jeans? There was. They found it eventually. As soon as I see her hightail it, nobody's checking if she fucking saw your name on those jeans. I'm just grabbing a pair and I'm.

I'm hitting it. I don't want it right over it. Nobody checks. Of course they didn't check. They just assume, like, oh, there's no punishment.

Jason Kelce

Like, just grab a pair of jeans. Just act like it. You know, you make it, kid. Like, come on now. Get called out before you lose.

Oh, no, that's not the right ones. Okay, fine. I'll go back and look. I didn't even know. Oh, I thought it said, oh, it's a jeans.

Travis Kelce

I suppose it Jason.

Jason Kelce

Oh, that's Levi. That's Levi. I thought that's a Jason. So either way, jocks with a come from behind victory, Sahidi again struggled with the squirt squad game. She really just could not get that water into the bucket.

Finally gets over to the jeans. But the nerds really took the lead on the gene section and officially became the winners of the first ever great Lumbaby games. Let's give it up for the nerds. Let's give it up. Congratulations, team academic.

Just out here doing nerd work, finding a way to win in every phase of life. I love it. The Lumbaby games will be available exclusively on new heights social channels starting April 29. And that is because there's a lot of cutting up. There's a lot of camera angles.

There's a lot of things that they. That our team has to do. And we're a podcast. We're not. We're not ESPN.

We gotta figure that out. So it's gonna take a little bit. It's gonna take a little bit time. It's gonna take a little bit. First run, Trav.

Travis Kelce

I think, dude, it was unbelievable. It was interesting to try that out. I didn't know how it was going to go. Luckily, the University of Cincinnati really came through as well as party city. So fucking cool, man.

Jason Kelce

And of course, our own team at new heights, somehow they made this shindig happen, and we got a thing not. Only just made it happen, they made it out. All of the jocks, all the nerds, all you guys really made this a special and the entire that, like, student fan base, so. Universe, Cincinnati. Thank you, guys.

And then after this, of course, we had to get to the regular part of the show, which we got to after the Vince and baby games. Yeah, let's talk about the actual live show again. We're going to be putting all these videos up on YouTube. Eventually, we kicked off the live show with a message from the Jabroni mayor himself.

Travis Kelce

That's right, Cincinnati's no longer. No longer Jabroni Perval, dude. He was awesome. I think it's. I appreciated him for, for showing up.

We could shake our, shake his hand and just tell him we appreciate, you know, what he's doing for the university, what he's doing for the city of Cincinnati, because that place has changed a lot. It's doing great, me and Jason, since me and Jason were there. And it's really cool to see how much they've not, not only cleaned up the city, but how much more fun it looks like the city is. Yeah, it just looks like it's an electric city and it's thriving, um, from the time that we were there. Um, not that it wasn't when we were there, but you can tell they've really put a lot of effort in, uh, getting, getting it to where it is today.

Um, I remember not even being able to walk on short on vine. I mean, Cincinnati. I remember we were living down by Cincinnati Taft, and there wasn't a soccer stadium over there. Exactly. You know, and it was, they've been doing some really.

Even down by the river. Down by the, uh, down on the river. They, they got that thing up and running and it's a, it's thriving down by a bank of America ballpark. I think that's great american ballpark. America.

Great american ballpark. Marriott. And the city of Cincinnati is thriving right now, and that was evident in our visit there this past week. It was, it was a lot of fun. It was cool seeing all the changes that have happened around campus, downtown.

Jason Kelce

They've gone above and beyond to really take Cincinnati to the next level, and I can't wait to see how that future continues to unfold. Yeah. And it was an awesome gesture by the mayor to introduce us. It really brought things full circle with the trash talk that ensued a couple years ago to all of a sudden, we're all in this for Cincinnati right now. It was a great moment for every.

To come back to the fact that we all care about the 513. Right? And we were joined by some, some awesome guests, man, we had, Desmond Ritter came out first, gave the Bearcats some familiar face to be able to cheer on and listen to. And I'll tell you what, man, des, every time I hang out with him, man, it's just more and more I'm impressed by who he is and, and how he carries himself. Couldn't be happier for how his career ended at the University of Cincinnati, you know, obviously losing in the college football playoffs.

Travis Kelce

But he, he carried this program to places that we hadn't been before. New heights. All right, now, he really, he really did, man. He really did. He took, he took the program to new heights with fickle, and sure enough, he gave a lot of us alumni, a lot of the ex players, something prideful to watch and talk about, so.

Jason Kelce

Absolutely. And then just see him do his thing in the NFL and be able to, you know, stand on being a, being a solid quarterback, being a great guy, being family oriented and just doing things the right way, man. I'm happy as hell for him. And sure, I mean, it was just an awesome interview. Absolutely great person, great Bearcat.

Can't wait to see what he does this year in Arizona. A little bit fresh start, which sometimes is the best thing you need. Yeah. You know what? Des did a Cincinnati speech for itself, is the most successful quarterback in the history of Bearcat football as much as Zach Clara.

So probably be upset that we're announcing that our former teammate who we love, Antoni pike, you just can't dispute what. Ritter Zach appreciates Des like he gives Desm. We just love Zach Lares.

Des, especially after interviewing him on the show, it was, you could just tell what an unbelievable teammate, leader, and just overall how important it is to him. And, you know, a little bit upset that he didn't have a great uncle Woody story. He was so straight laced that he didn't have something that was ridiculous. But I think that that's what you want in your star quarterback. Yeah, either that or he just knows what he's doing and he ain't letting the cat out of the bag.

Travis Kelce

Then we had a, we had former chief turn, Cincinnati Bengal Orlando Brown, one of my favorite teammates of all time, man. That's right. Talking about his dad's water boy moment to get him how to. Sometimes you just got to tap in. You just gotta, you just gotta go somewhere that nobody else knows how to.

Knows how to get there, man. And it's so cool hearing some of the stories that Orlando shared, not only with his time in Baltimore, Kansas City, but obviously now that he's a bangle in front of that crowd, it was pretty cool to see. Yeah. And lastly, I think the crowd was crazy all evening, but there was one moment when it got easily the loudest that it could possibly get in that building. And that's the moment Joe Burrow came out of that tunnel.

Jason Kelce

I mean. Choi, everybody lost it one bit. No, he was, dude. Such a good dude, man. Such a good, such a competitor.

Shared great stories. He's obviously a known big alien guy. Oh, that's where we share, baby. We big a big on aliens. We don't want to spoil too much of our conversation with Joe, but he was more than open about a lot of things that have taken place throughout his career and kind of what's happening currently.

And also with who is the spicier white boy, Travis or Joe? It was, it was awesome to see him. Incredibly nice of him to agree to come on the show, as was Orlando Brown and Des Ritter. All of these conversations were a joy for us and can't thank you guys enough for coming on, man. Forever grateful, man.

Travis Kelce

Appreciate you guys. Lastly, we ended the night in a truly epic fashion. Since neither of us got a chance to walk during, during a graduation ceremony, we both have already got our degrees. I got mine maybe a few years after Jason did, but we still, we had our degrees going into it. So all of you that are thinking this was a graduation ceremony because we just finished our degrees and it was a very, like, serious thing.

We appreciate Cincinnati's president and athletic director for doing this. But it was kind of just a fun way to close out the night. Hopefully you guys can understand that me chugging the beer was because I had a beer in my hand and I had to receive the diploma, so I had to get the beer out of my hand some way. Might as well just finish it. It happened to be full.

Don't know how that happened. Well, it kind of stayed full, as we saw when you threw it on the ground and there was still beer pouring out of it. Pouring out of it. That was more like foam. It was foam because I couldn't get there.

I couldn't. Yeah, there is. When you can't get the airflow and it's just like dumping out. If there's anything anybody should have been upset with, it's the fact that you didn't finish that chug. That's my.

I did. I was upset is that there was a village to consider that a successful chug. Jason, you were scared to race me. I was. You were scared.

I was. You're terrifying. You were terrified. We'll get to this. You don't want the misery that's coming.

Jason Kelce

Yeah. Sorry for everybody that got upset about this. We. I mean, it just wasn't that kind of event. It wasn't that serious.

There were two women wrestling in a vat of chili before this. That's the athletic director posing with me. And I don't. I've never been to a commencement because I skip mine. But I'm pretty sure the athletic director isn't the person that hands you your diploma.

I loved receiving this diploma from John Cunningham. Yeah. Prefer it from nobody else. There's an absolutely fun night littered with all sorts of shenanigans. And, you know, in the words of the great Charles Barkley, I don't think Travis or I should be anybody's role model.

I think that's probably fair to say. We love. We love Chuck. We love. We do love the kids.

And we love Chuck. I think if you would have finished your beer, I think people would have been way less upset with you. I think that was the main thing that got people upset. It was a tall boy. I had already had a few.

Travis Kelce

I was showing that there was beer in the can. By doing the water. Yeah. You go away from the mouth to show that it's actually going. It's.

Jason Kelce

It's making its entrance. Yes. Then I'm not just faking it. You know there's foam when you do that, Jason, if you don't have the correct airflow, which I couldn't fucking. I couldn't break.

Travis Kelce

If you can't open and chug it. Acceptable foam in a beer can, chug. It was beyond the threshold of an acceptable. Like, if we chugged off and you slammed that on the ground, I would for sure be calling for a, well. If we were chugging a beer, I wouldn't do it out of a can where there was no airflow.

It would be a shotgun and I would have airflow there. What? That way it wouldn't foam up. All I'm saying, people chug out of beer cans all the time. If there's that much foam coming out of the can, I think universally we can accept that that is not a complete chug.

Jason Kelce

No, I'm saying. Nope, I chug faster than you. Well, I guess we'll let Twitter decide. Twitter decide. Please, please make sure you tell Travis that he did not finish his chug and that it was.

That was the most unacceptable moment of that show. I don't know how we're going to top this at our next live event. Cincinnati truly made it a special evening. Not only the people there which were into it the entire time, but the entire Cincinnati staff on hand at Fifth 3rd arena. It was remarkable how well this thing went off without a hitch, especially considering Travis and I had nothing to do with any of it.

These guys just made it such a wonderful evening. As well as our own new heights team. We're going to continue to thank these guys out. The creativity process that went into this was spectacular. Just effort showed up the president of the university.

It was an amazing night in Cincinnati, and I don't know that we'll ever be able to top what just occurred. So really, really big shout out to everyone involved and everyone who attended and all the 92 percenters, bearcats, and of course, swifties that were in at the event. Thank you very much. Thank you, guys. Oh, we also got a sweet video from operation Breakthrough.

Travis Kelce

Nice Ob, which, of course, Travis and. 87 and running has participated with in the past. They sent over this clip of. Of your graduation.

Yeah, it's a big inspiration because makes me want to finish school and to tell myself to keep going and not to stop. We love your Travis, Kelsey. Yep. Just when you think you're not a role model, they send you a video. Did you see what Travis did?

Jason Kelce

Just you want to be. It would have been how awesome would have been if they all, like, chugged apple juice. Dude, this is awesome. I love it. The operation breakthrough kids are just the sweetest, man.

I still got to get my truck over to operation breakthrough. They're going to turn that thing electric. My old. My old school Chevy. Get these.

Get these kids on there. Get it in line. Because after what we saw them do, the. Due to the Chevelle that they turned electric, I'm pretty sure everybody in the city wants to get their old school turned electric as it was on display at the Kelsey car jam. Hopefully we have another one of those this year where we can showcase the Bronco that they're actually doing a Bronco now at this moment.

Travis Kelce

Yeah, they're converting old school Bronco into electric. The team is working on getting all that live show videos out to you guys ASAP. But please be patient with it. It'll be worth it at the end when we get that thing perfect. Please follow the show on all social media and subscribe on the YouTube channel so you don't miss when those videos drop.

We're going to keep doing this live show thing. I believe it was. It was something me and Jason both had a fucking blast with. And we'll definitely keep everyone in the loop on when we're doing another one. The arena deal was pretty fun, but Jason is pretty set on doing a stadium at some point.

So I really want to do the link. I'm just going to throw this out there. I think doing all right. An episode in the link. I know that being inside made it happen way better, but gosh, I just feel like the link would be so special.

Well, the link is the fucking link, and if you have an event in the link, it'd be unbelievable. But that link also holds 80,000, Jason. Well, hey, you have to get some. Good guess. I don't know.

Jason Kelce

Are you questioning Philadelphia fans? I don't think you question Philadelphia fans. I'm questioning me, Jason. That's what I'm questioning. Who is going to show up.

Travis Kelce

But, yeah. Shout out to Cincinnati. Appreciate you guys. Love you guys. Everybody involved was.

It was unbelievable. Hey, just wanted to say how grateful we are for the experience and the time that everybody put in. Absolutely. All right, now it's time to get out of the house. Jason, you were literally mister out of the house this week.

I love it when you get out of the house because it's so unexpected of shit that you do outside of the house. Yeah, I've been out of the house for too long. Out of the house is brought to you by our friends at accelerator active energy drink. That's right. Accelerator active energy.

Available at quick trip, Giant Eagle, Meyer, Amazon, and for all you Philly area, 92 percenters. It is now available at your favorite store. Wow. Oh, it's at the wa. Love it.

Yes, sir. Jason, you made a WrestleMania appearance? I did. It happened, dude. Pretty awesome.

Jason Kelce

Talk about the link. There's 80,000 people in here packed for WrestleMania. Jason got out of the house and went down to the link for WrestleMania 40 right in Philly. And damn you. You and Lane did not disappoint.

Travis Kelce

You guys look like a tag team nobody wants to fuck with Jason. Steps are looking good. Look at that. Yeah. How much did you.

How much did you guys lift before you guys went out there? We were using a lot of bands, and Kylie kept making fun of me because I was really obsessed with how my biceps looked. I'm proud of you. You. They honestly answer.

Jason Kelce

I'm not gonna look. Not ashamed. They look like my thighs went in. There with a cutoff. Get them things popping, dude.

Travis Kelce

There's nothing more electric than cut off jeans and timbs. It just shows that he's a hard working man. And you don't fuck with that. Yeah, you just don't fuck with that. And then you jumped over the rope.

The double jump over the rope was one of the most athletic things I think I've seen you do people think it's that hard? That's a steel cable. That is like. Has some elasticity to it. And I just vaulted.

You can tell you've ran from the cops and jumped the fence before. That's what. That's what I saw. I'm like, dude, he just got out of there. You had the luchador mask on.

Were people screaming it was you when you walked, when you got. Everyone knew. Everyone knew immediately well, who was close to us. There were people from. I've seen some social clips of people further away that, like, who's that?

Jason Kelce

That couldn't tell, but anybody that was up close and personal knew right away. It was Lane, and I knew it was Lane Johnson and Jay mysterio. See what I did there? Yeah, dude. Rey mysterio was one of our fucking favorites.

Travis Kelce

He was like one of the. He was one of the guys that could. He was an acrobat. He was just aerial at all times, just doing flips and just cool ass shit. What was that Nintendo 64 game with?

Jason Kelce

Right. It was like WCW versus nwo. Oh, yeah. Ray was the one that, like, it was the most fun to play with him because he could do all the, like, the different acrobats and finishing all the cool shit. It's awesome.

Travis Kelce

God damn it just took me back to all those fucking sleepovers when we were ten years old. It's a great game. Very solid game. When did you find out what you were exactly gonna do at WrestleMania? We knew that we were gonna be involved with these masks, but we didn't really find out the full extent until pretty much like, 2 hours right before the show.

Jason Kelce

There's, like, a little atta boy backstage area that you're kind of, like, figuring things out. Nice. So they're like, it's like a new heights production. You just find out, like, five minutes before you go out there what's going on. Pretty much, yeah.

Travis Kelce

And the whole time, I thought we were kind of, like, behind the eight ball here, but it looks like. Looks like we're pretty spot on with the best productions in the world. We knew we were on race team, which they didn't have to tell us that. So from there, it was just, you know, operation get it done. Yeah.

Also, I thought Rey Mysterio was going to be way smaller. You and Rey Mysterio are the exact same size. We are. We are the same size. You can tell just by that photo alone.

Jason Kelce

Don't look at the next one. Oh, yeah. I didn't see them biceps not looking as good in that one. So at one point, Lane, I think Lane wanted to take his shirt off. He's like, you want to take your shirt off?

So then I ripped mine off, like, sir. And then I proceeded to look like, you know, I was trying to keep my shirt on because I'm really developing this Burt Kreischer. I feel like I'm still in Berk Risers freaking bit, and I don't want to steal your bit, Bert, but I. Feel like this was a big bear. This is an acceptable time to have that shirt off.

Travis Kelce

You're just a big bear. That shit's hilarious. I can say that it was fun as hell watching you up there, knowing that we used to fuck around as WWF WWE fucking Jabronis as kids, man. It was cool to see you up there having some fun. Oh, dude, you also got to meet the rock backstage.

Dude, how electric was that? Well, I've met him before, actually. He came to the Eagles facilities train him before one of the. One of the WWE events earlier in my career. He probably doesn't remember that, but I remember it because I think everybody remembers when you meet the rock for the first time.

All right now. But it was awesome to see him again, obviously under different pretenses this time, and I'm just happy he's back involved with WWE and, like, a more. In a very meaningful way. Like, he's been such a explosive personality for the wrestling world, and obviously, he's gone on to. I don't want to say bigger and better things, but, I mean, to become the superstar he is outside of the wrestling world.

Jason Kelce

I think, selfishly, everybody in the wrestling community is. Is happy to see the rock back, even if he's talking shit to Jalen. Pissed off all of Philadelphia. Yeah, he's the villain right now. I know he's.

Well, they call him the heel, and in wrestling, the villain is called the heel. Found that one out this week. There you go. There you go. Awesome seeing the rock.

I don't know. There's a more iconic individual in America. Nice. Right now than the rock. If there's one more thing I want to say about WrestleMania, and I mentioned this there, I think they should figure out a way to get the commentators in the live performance, because the live performance is incredible.

You're hearing the pounding of the ring. It really echoes, and it makes you feel like you're a part of it. There's really an element that I think you get from. From McAfee or whoever's doing the commentating when, like, from the top rope. Oh, my gosh.

How is he ever going to do it, ladies and gentlemen? Like, that adds this excitement to it that I really think you would have taken it to the next level. But. Yeah, I hear you on that. It's probably not great audio quality, but.

I'm sure there's a reason they don't do it. I guarantee you they've thought about this. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, you're probably right.

Okay, well, other out of the house news, we have Travis at Coachella. That's right after the live show, Travis didn't stop being out of the house. He took a plane over to California and went to Coachella music festival. Not your first time there, Travis. You and I have both been numerous times.

Yeah, it's a fun weekend of festivities. I love live music, man. I absolutely love live music. Hard to. I don't get enough of it in my life.

Travis Kelce

I really enjoy any event. Like, I just like going to events, going places where people are seeing talents that all these talented people in the world. Like, I just like to. Like to experience that type of shit. Like, I love experiencing new cultures.

That's the one thing that I really enjoy about Coachella, is that it's not just one genre of music. I agree. It's everything. It's everything. I mean, first saw chromeo, dude, the funk lords, man.

I fucking love the funko. They really do have every genre you could think of. Echo, chill. I mean, not a lot of single one. That's not like couple years ago, Danny.

Danny Elsman, like, composer. He had, like, a symphony playing in the desert. It was unbelievable. They got everything. Yeah.

Jason Kelce

Creative, good artists. Like, great artists. Yeah, I always. I always appreciated it, man. And it was fun.

Travis Kelce

It was fun getting out there and seeing a few. A few new bands that I really wasn't, like, that familiar with and just became an absolute lover of their music because of how they perform and how they captivated the crowd and got everybody into it. The bleachers, like, I, Jack Atzanoff, absolutely ripped it, and I had so much fun seeing him go nuts with the guitar and all his. All his boys. He had two sax players, two drummers, two guitars, and they just ripped it.

And it was so much fun. Everybody kind of had their own time on the keyboard. It was, um. That was fun as hell to watch one of my favorite bands out right now, jungle, they absolutely killed it. Nice.

Played one of my favorite songs called Casio, and I was out there that I joined. Yeah. Casio playing on my heart, like, gosh, who else did I say? Oh, my. How can I forget?

Jason Kelce

My God. Tom Dollar. Tom Dollar. One of my favorite dj's out here, man. Dom dollar.

Travis Kelce

Dom Dala. Yeah, he, um. He absolutely kills it every single time. And sure enough, it was his own set at Coachella. He did two sets.

He is. He's also in a combined dj group with John Summit, and they did one the day before, so I didn't get to see that one because I was still working. But Saturday was such a fun, fun day, man. And, yeah, I love. I love going to Coachella, man.

Hopefully, I can keep going, but obviously, you know, the schedules always fill the fuck up real quick in the offseason. Dude, the one thing you got to be ready for Coachella, you got to take your hands on it, is some walking and dancing like you're moving. At Coachella, there's, like seven different stages. Yeah, I guess. Who'd you.

Jason Kelce

We know who you went with. We saw the pictures. All right. We know who you supporting. The new heights difference.

Big height supporter. Yeah. Sold out of the green hat real quick.

Travis Kelce

It's a good. It's a good color green. How was Coachella different? Cause I expected you guys to be backstage, like, mostly, like, with the musicians. Right.

Jason Kelce

But it seemed like you guys are, like, in the crowd. I like to see it front from the. From the fans perspective, like, the people that actually like. Like. Because I am.

Travis Kelce

I'm a fan of the music. I'm a fan of live shows. I want to see it from the front of the stage. Yeah, we. We probably could have finessed it that way, but I think it's just that much more of an experience if you're in the.

If you're in the pit, man, if you're in the madness with all the. All the fans. Well, you are. Your feet. It was awesome, though.

Jason Kelce

All the walking. No. Gosh, that's the one thing I regret every year, is how much walking it is. It's amazing every year, but it's a lot of walking. It's really not.

Oh, you're out. You're out of your mind, dude. We barely do. We were walking stages. You're walking to the bathroom, which is like a.

Travis Kelce

Well, if you know the terrain, Jason, you know how to get to each stage stage quickly and efficiently. It's a lot. And then, especially then, you got to. Know afterwards, we're, like, walking to whatever house we're staying at. I got a cheat code.

I know where. I know where to stay. Where? It's just like a quick, like, block walk once you're out. I thought I had that, too.

Jason Kelce

I know exactly where those houses are, and it's still. No, you don't know. You know. Yeah, you're. You're insane.

You know a lot of walking. Listen, Coachella is great. Just get ready to walk. How to sandals, how to say, no, it is not. And if you wore sandals, that's what you fucking get.

Travis Kelce

Jason, I think we restocked the. The green hat, though. So everybody head over to homage.com new heist to get the green hat. Those are going to be gone pretty quickly now that we just informed everyone I know. I'm going to buy a few.

I fucking love that green hat. That's really a really good shade of green. Coachella is always fun. Shout out to all the performers. Shout out to accelerator.

Jason Kelce

Active energy for bringing this segment to you. Out of the house. All right, now. All right, let's get some no dumb questions. That's right.

It's time for one of our favorite segments. We do it almost every week because we love dumb people with no dumb questions. No dumb questions is brought to you by tommy John underwear. Tommy John makes the most comfortable underwear on the planet. No adjustment needed from user liz liz off h town liz of houston.

There we go. There you go. If you could choose any two sports to combine together, a la basketball, which two sports would you choose? And why. It's pretty good.

Travis Kelce

Reading this before, I immediately thought of one of my favorite movie sports scenes of all time, which is happy Gilmore when Bob Barker beats the shit out of happy. It's great movie. Solid movie. Seeing that in real life would be unbelievable. So I'm going to say boxing and golf.

Jason Kelce

I feel like we kind of did. So I would. I would combine. We did do something. NASCAR and gymnastics.

Travis Kelce

It was fighting. What. What would. What sport would we allow? Fighting.

Jason Kelce

I think we were just changing the rules and we made NASCAR that you could drink and drive or something like that. I know something like that. I had drinking. Drinking sports. That's what it was.

We're gonna make this very clear. No, do not do that unless NASCAr does it. You guys do not do it. No, don't do it. Even in NASCAR.

Let's avoid that. We don't want to. We want to be good. Wrong. No, it's.

Travis Kelce

It's a big pillow nowadays. Everybody's in that car like as. Yeah. NASCAR sticks. NASCAR and gymnastics.

This has just become evil Knievel or some shit. They got to do like the floor mat while, like a NAScaR. You got to jump over the car while it's moving full speed. This just sounds like nitro circus. You got to do and you got to land it.

Jason Kelce

You got to stick the landing. The car doesn't. A bunch of flips and sticks it. They'd have this actually, with monster trucks. It sounds like monster trucks.

I'm not going to lie. But with regular cars. And it's probably some of the things. That these monster trucks are doing when. They'Re in the monster trucks are cooler.

Travis Kelce

They are unbelievable. Yeah, you're right. It already exists. It's called monster trucks. All right.

I saw. I saw a clip of somebody playing hockey and football, and it was like football rules on the ice. Ooh, I did see that. That was a great. I mean, it was nice.

Jason Kelce

It's incredibly dangerous. I mean, didn't a hockey player just have a neck slit? Can you imagine trying to tackle somebody and drag somebody down with skates attached to their feet? I think. I don't think they had skates on.

Travis Kelce

I think it was just football on ice. They were just running equipment. Well, either way, terrible idea, because I don't know if people knows, but ice is harder than concrete. Hard as sucks getting hit down on ice. Yeah.

Jason Kelce

How about swimming and sharp shooting?

Travis Kelce

What? So what, what would be the weapon? It would just be like a, like a bow, like a crossbow. You tread water while you're shooting. Sporting clays or something like that.

Jason Kelce

Like archery. Okay. What's a good thing to combine with swimming? Have you seen the, the torpedoes? The little torpedo like soccer game that they play underwater?

No. That sounds exciting, though. Remember the little torpedo, the rubber torpedoes they used to throw underwater and you'd see it like a submarine, just like you could pass it underneath water to your friend. But it sounds great, I'm not gonna lie. All right, what is to play this all the time.

Oh, you're talking about just like the little ones that you would throw under there. They turned that into an actual game where you could fucking tackle people and keep. Hold them underwater. I mean, sounds like my kind of game. It is.

Travis Kelce

It is your kind of game. What, what about, this is a good one, lacrosse and polo. Because it doesn't make sense that those guys on horseback are hitting that ball all the way on the ground. Just play lacrosse on horseback. Ooh, I think that shit game, that would be legit.

Did you know you have to have like four horses per person? Per person? Why do you have to have four per person? Oh, no, I just heard that. So I thought I'd throw it out there and see.

If you want to call bullshit on it. I'm calling bullshit on it. I don't really know why you would need that four per person. Yeah, I don't. Endurance, maybe.

Oh, no. Oh, maybe that's it. They got a sub, the horse in and out. Yeah, that's my kind of sport. Let's let the horse get tired.

Jason Kelce

I'll just sit on top and have all the fun. That's a good point. I kind of like that. I kind of want to play it just once. Lacrosse, horseback riding.

Travis Kelce

Yeah, me and horses just don't. Dude, do you remember whirlyball? Whirlyball, yes, it was. It was bumper carts. There's bumper cars and lacrosse.

Jason Kelce

Great game. Great game. It's in Columbus, Ohio. For those of you that are around the Columbus area. Or Lee ball, make sure you guys.

I mean, I know it's in that area, but it's. Dude, I've been trying to, I've been trying to find it everywhere else and I can't find it anywhere. What are we doing? Let's open up some whirlyball spots. Dude, they're so fucking fun.

Travis Kelce

I went there not too long. I went there like four or five years ago. Do you think 1587 prime could have a back side of the building that has a whirlyball court? No, this is, this is not that kind of establishment, Jason. This is not that kind of establishment.

Jason Kelce

No, it's not. Okay. It should be. How about skydiving and skydiving a sport? We can make it.

Skydiving and slam dunk contests. That'd be a pretty incredible. I don't know what. How, like are the hoops in the air or where are they? I miss to be determined.

Depends on how many points you want. You can go all the way to the ground, but it's a lot harder to get it in there. You got hoops about different levels. What about skydiving and, like, track? Like, who can get to the.

Travis Kelce

Who can get by? Who can get to land first? You're thinking. Now you're thinking who can get to land first? Who's gonna pull their parachute?

Jason Kelce

You're basically playing chicken. You're essentially skydiving chicken. I think it's a fantastic idea.

You remember the great outdoor games when they would climb the pole and then do I remember as possible? And I'm like, what? What are we doing here, guys? Yeah, this is electric is what it is. More on the line.

Travis Kelce

Way, way more speed. Travis Pastrana would be dead. No, you can't kill that guy. There's no way he's backing down. He'd figure it out though.

Jason Kelce

He'd figure it out. It'd be some figure. That's what I'm saying. Freaking die. Travis Pastrana doesn't die.

Travis Kelce

All right. Yeah. Knock on my shout out to all the cool Travis's out there. That made my name cool. The only person in the world with more lives than a cat, Travis Pastrana.

And that does it for no dumb questions. Brought to you by Tommy John underwear. Time to round up some NFL news. That's right. Let's talk about football.

Since this is still a football slash sports podcast, I suppose starting with some Eagles updates. Devontae Smith and Jordan Mulatto. Two of. Two of our favorites here on the show. Man got paid big time.

It was announced on Monday that the Eagles wide receiver Devontae Smith agreed to three years, $75 million, an extension that was well worth it. Smith's deal includes 51 guaranteed. God damn. Is smitty and underrated part of this offense? Do you think he doesn't get enough credit?

Jason Kelce

I mean, he's definitely not underrated by anybody on the team. I think. Listen, he's playing next to the best receiver in the NFL and AJ Brown. So it's easy to see that maybe he gets less credit than is probably deserved because of the greatness that AJ Brown has displayed. But I can tell you, anybody in the Eagles.

I mean, the route running ability of Devontae Smith is insane to watch in person. Like, he's just. You talk about, like, my dance moves versus your dance moves. This is the smoothest motherfucker I know. Like, he is a smooth cat.

It is insane the way he moves and gets out of breaks and the level at which he entered the NFL and how good he is. He's silky. Oh, my gosh. Silky smooth. Off the field, you see some of the things he's wearing.

He is a. He got some fast. He's smooth. No matter what. He talks smooth.

He's also just. He's one of those guys that, in his head, he is one of the most mentally tough. Like, just like, killers that I've played with in the best possible way. Like, I mean, in only complimentary fashion. Like, this is a guy you want to play football with.

He embodies the mindset. Don't. Don't let his skinny stature fool you. This guy has every bit of a football player's mindset. I cannot say enough good things about Devontae Smith as a player, as a person, as a personality.

Outstanding young man who just got three years and 75 million. So shout out to my man Smitty. That's a whole lot of money, and. It'S a whole lot of bread. And former guests on the show, Jordan Milata is also getting paid this offseason.

Travis Kelce

Jordan and the Eagles agree to a three year, $66 million contract extension, which includes $48 million guaranteed and 20 million the signing bonus. He just got $20 million richer by putting his John Hancock on a paper. That's pretty good. How about that? How about that?

Jason Kelce

Get you a whole lot of real estate over there in Australia. Hell, yeah. You can go over there and get all that delicious candy, that good old rich chocolate. You can order at least 15 million bloomin onions and outback with that like it is. That's a lot, baby.

Travis Kelce

Is the only onion I'll eat fried. Yeah, I mean, it's probably not buying you that much. I think they overcharge for the bloomin onion, but whatever. It's damn good, though, man. It's damn good.

Yeah. It includes a 48 million guaranteed and a $20 million signing bonus, per Adam Schiffer. Yeah, man, it's Howie season. This is what Howie does better than I think. I mean, I'm biased, but anybody else at finagling the situation of the cap, what players are, first of all, do in real life, but then also what is going to be their cap hit.

Jason Kelce

The Eagles are so good at moving that around and avoiding the salary cap from really ever being an issue. I can't think of one time in my tenure with the Eagles that there has been this issue with, you know, the cap is too high or too low or the Eagles don't have room to sign somebody that they want to. I feel like at all times they know how to move things around to get accomplished what they want to accomplish. And, I mean, you see it from other teams. They just don't move with that type of fluidity.

They get hamstrung with either guys who are really high on the books or, you know, players that are unhappy with their pay. It feels like the Eagles, I mean, we saw that last year with Assad, right, Nassau. Rick is now gone. He wanted more money last year. I just feel like the Eagles deal with that less than anybody else.

They really are. This is one of the things they do so well is they know how to allocate these resources. They know how to move money around. I think in part, that's a credit to Howie and his understanding of all of the ins and outs, of the salary cap and the full ways to take advantage of the structures of these contracts. I think it's also a point of emphasis on Jeffrey Lurie.

I mean, they have the cash to do all these things because it's one thing to be able to maneuver the cap, but it's also one thing that the owner has to be willing to shell out cash at different points to make these things happen and give the resources possible to, to the GM to do as much as this and to allow Howie to operate with this type of freedom. I think the both of them combined as well as other people in the, in the building. You know, Jake, Bryce, like, there's, there's a lot of people in the building that go into making this one of the Eagles strengths, but Howie for sure gets the credit, and he should. They know how to extend players, when to extend players. They know how to move money around.

These numbers might look astronomical, but they know that the caps only going up and by doing these deals earlier, these numbers change as that cap goes up to be more in line with, or actually more of a not in line. They're already in line, more of a deal for the Eagles long term if they believe in these guys, which they clearly do. So for good reason. Listen, I think it's certainly been a strength of the Eagles, and they have not shied away from, you know, exploiting all of the rules and not carve outs, but all of the rules and different tools that are possible within the guidelines of the salary camp. They know how to finagle all that, and it's been one of their strengths, quite frankly.

So shout out to both Jordan and Devontae Smith. Both of these guys are more than deserving of these numbers. There's a lot of guys around the league looking right now to. To get better contracts from their teams or to be paid what they think they're owed. And some of these teams are handcuffed, and that's based on deals and structures that they've already done beforehand.

And you're seeing it right now. Well, I'm happy those two guys got paid. They're fucking deserving of it. Both, not. Not only two of the best NFL players in the national football League, but just two of the best teammates and guys you could have around.

Travis Kelce

So you love to see the good guys get paid and broke off accordingly, man. Especially when they're doing shit the right way. Packers to face Eagles in the league's first ever game in Brazil. That's right, Eagles. Packers in the Corinthians arena down there.

Week one, two, first game of the year. Breaking it out down there in Brazil is probably going to be hotter than hell. Boys, to make sure you hydrate. Brazil is known to be right there on the equator, and we know his science well. No, it'll be.

Jason Kelce

It'll be winter for Brazil. It'll be winter for them down there at the equator. Does it, does that have anything to do? I don't think. Tell me it's going to snow equator.

I don't think it really matters. I think it's just. Yeah. What is it going to be, 80 instead of 105? I think that's a big difference.

Let's be honest. You got me there. I got myself there, I guess. The Corinthians arena is the home of Brazil's soccer team, SC Corinthians. It was also announced that the first game in 50 years a game will be played on Friday night of the opening weekend in NFL.

So in, in history. Yeah, they won't jump off the season, but they'll be the second. The first game that's played on Friday night. Yeah. The second game of the year will be this Friday night game.

Listen, I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about this, especially Philadelphia fans. Big travel ramifications for this home opener. I'm excited about it. We've talked about this before. You and I are big fans of the international games.

I think it's really cool playing in these unique situations and stadiums. I've been to Brazil, actually went to the Brazil for the World cup in 2016 with some fellow teammates, and it was outstanding. Obviously, this is a different sport. That was the country's national sport of soccer that I was participating with, but I went to Corinthians arena. We got to see a game live there.

Travis Kelce

How much walking do you do? Not as much as Coachella, but it was quite a bit of walking. Yeah, it's going to be an incredible experience. I fully anticipate that. And Brazil is just wonderful culture.

Jason Kelce

It's got great food, great people, a culture that likes to party. So they're going to be geared up for this. They like sports. They like physical fitness. Sports.

Travis Kelce

Physical fitness. Partying. Sounds like a perfect mix for the NFL. Listen, I think. I think the NFL is going to enjoy this game.

Who do you think has more fans down there, the Eagles or the packers? That's the real question. I think it's going to be Brazil strikes me as more of an Eagles crowd, not gonna lie. But yeah, big fan of Brazil. Went down there for the World cup, stayed for a full week, saw they went to five games, went to Rio, Sao Paulo and Brazil.

Who's your favorite individual player you saw at the Rio games? I mean, the one that I was the most excited to see because of his standing in the world at the time was Messi. We did not go to an Argentina game. We went to a Brazil game, though, and the other guy that was right up there with him was Neymar. So got to see Neymar play in person.

Jason Kelce

One against Chile and penalty kicks. It was a fantastic game, but we got the party on the Rio beach with a bunch of other Americans. They had like a whole. Like, Jason, you're not supposed to go down there and party with Americans. You're supposed to party with the culture.

Listen, you know us, we find each other. We find each other. It's easy to spot just by what you're wearing, you know, right away. That's an american right there. Cargo shorts did.

Travis Kelce

I'll tell you what, though, Messi. Messi played in Kansas City this past weekend. Nice. Yeah, he played an arrowhead. Actually.

Jason Kelce

The same. He played an arrow. Not the same being in the MLS. Why is it not saying? Because it's the most shit on that MLS.

I'm not shitting on the MLS. It's not international soccer. Don't. When you think of soccer, I know there's all these wonderful clubs overseas. There's the MLs, I think of the World cup.

That's all I'm saying it's. It's international play and then everything else is. For me, it's all about the Premier League, dude. It's. I know a lot of people love the Premier League.

A lot of people love Barcelona and Milan. To me, it's all about international play for soccer. That's all I care about. I mean, I get it. Would you ever watch the UFL?

Which one was the UFO? Would you ever watch the XFL? I would. You would watch the XFL but you won't watch the MLS? I didn't say I won't watch it.

I'm just saying it wasn't the same level as seeing. It wouldn't like, seeing Messi play for Miami is not the same as when he played in Barcelona or when he was at the world stage of the World cup. That's all I'm saying. That's not the same. He just won the World cup, like, less than a year ago.

Golf course is not the same as seeing Michael Jordan in a bowl uniform. All right, Jason, just being honest. You see one person on the biggest stage. What do you mean? You see one person on the biggest stage possible with the biggest team in the history.

Like, I like this is the best soccer player ever at the World cup. That's different than seeing Lionel Messi tearing it up in Kansas City. Just saying. Dude, is this the same? It's Lionel Messi.

Same. It's not the same, dude, it was. The same when Ibrahimovic went fucking crazy in LA. It's great. It's electric.

Travis Kelce

He made. He made the mls fun to watch last year. I'm not saying it's not good for MLS. I'm not saying it's not great. I'm saying it's not as good.

Jason Kelce

I'm not saying that the, like, it sucks that he plays in Miami. That's awesome for the MLS. I think it's great for american soccer. I just think it's nowhere near when he scores a goal for Argentina and the entire country is erupting in cheers because it means more to Argentina than any other sport on the planet. That's all I'm saying.

Travis Kelce

All right, well, that's fair. I didn't think you were saying it like that at first, but I get it now. All right, well, shout out to Messi. Shout out to a Rio and big shout out to the NFL. Expanding the game, getting into more countries.

Hopefully Brazil brings the juice, baby. I want to see how their. How their crowd reacts to a little american football, man. Dude, one of the thing that was the coolest thing in Brazil. First of all, every time their national team plays, they consider it a national holiday, so they shut down.

Jason Kelce

Then whenever you were at, you weren't. So some of the games are happening in Brazil at other places while you're just out and about. And they're so into soccer that the entire country really would erupt to the point that you could hear a cheer happening from everybody. Everybody's house. Yeah.

Of Rio. That's cool. Dejanero. You can hear that eruption the moment Brazil scored while you're just walking down the street. That's so fucking dope.

Yeah, it was dope as well. You're walking outside the stadium at all times. Yep. Brazil just scored. There was a.

Oh, yeah. Also saw Christ the redeemer. Nice. Yeah, that was pretty cool, probably. I think it takes the Christ cake of statues.

Travis Kelce

Yeah, it's the biggest one. We also got a couple updates on the Chiefs roster front. Defensive end Mike Dana has just resigned with Kansas City. Dana matroids best in sacks and tackles for loss last season. I think it's a big signing for you guys.

Jason Kelce

Very unheralded player. I think nationally, he just. Tough as nails. Just comes to work every single day with his fucking lunch pail, man. He's got a little, like, trying to figure out how to describe this to fans, but so when you're, when you're.

When you have like a third down package out there, you typically have players that are certain roles. Mike Dana fills that role of, like, he can run a game with anybody. He can drop out into coverage. He can win one on one matchups at a surprising rate over a guard because he's got a level of athleticism that's unique when you're rushing over a guard. I think that he is a big part of allowing coach spags to be creative in these blitz packages.

You'll see him do a lot of different things with Mike Dana. He's a guy that I was always assessing, like, where he was at, because you would try and. Okay, because it was a 51, right? Yeah, 51. He's like that chess piece that a lot of it stems off of.

Correct. So, like, yep. Some defenses call him like the adjuster. So, like, if he's over here, it's like, okay, I'm pretty confident. Either they're running a game over here, there's something coming over here, or it could just be straight up.

Like, spags are smart enough that he knows how to hide that, but that's the type of headache that a guy like that causes teams because you consider him a three technique, but he's really like a d and outside linebacker playing three technique because he's a little bit bigger and he can win that matchup on the guard as well as run games as well as drop off into coverage. These are guys that, in my opinion, don't really get the credit they deserve, but they're big pieces within the defensive structure. So I think this is a really good signing and happy to see these back in Kansas City. Shout out to Mike for. For being back in, Casey, you might.

And something we didn't get a chance to talk about on the show. Over the past couple of weeks, the Chiefs have also signed former european rugby league star are Luis Reese Zammett. Reese Zamit. I have no idea if I'm pronouncing this right. Yep.

Travis Kelce

I don't even know. I have no idea either. I. I've talked to him, though, and he's pumped. Is he french?

No, he's. He's Welsh. He's from Wales. Look at this debonair dude, man. He's just got the big wave guy.

Jason Kelce

I'm not gonna lie. His favorite movies, the Titanic. He loves music from Beyonce and Adele. The guy is just as suave as it gets. When I think of Welsh, I think of just.

I think british people call him posh. I think of, like, these rich, upper class, just beautiful white people. And he is like, just the running stereotype of what I would think of with a welsh person. I don't know if that's an accurate, like, stereotype that I have in my head, but that's certainly what I think of, and he's helping continue that trend in my mind. Well, there you go.

I'm excited to see what this guy does. I don't know about you. I'm pumped, too. And he said he's ready for the lateral whenever. When we were text.

Travis Kelce

Oh, nice, nice. Listen, he played rugby, so he's going to be ready for that thing. Came in as the same program as Jordan Mulatto, the international player pathway program. So it won't cost you guys a. Roster spot unless I think went to IMG.

I'm pretty sure you know IMG well, it's very similar. One of the good things about this pathway is that it allows teams to take chances on guys without having to incur a roster spot. So the only way Luis will count against the Chiefs is if he makes a 53. I think that's how that works. Outside of that, I think they're basically.

Two or three years to get him. Yeah, they're basically guaranteeing him a shot at potentially playing in the NFL, which I hope, I really hope this is a smashing success. The more international players that you see get the chance means they're more international games growing. Yeah. And you start to see, you know, kids from those areas or kids from all over start playing the game a little bit more because one of their, one of their, you know, their own from their backyard found a way to be on top of a sport and, and be a, be a part of a very small percentage of players that make it.

And it's, it's cool to see. I really just enjoyed the guy's energy so far. He's super excited about the opportunity that he's been given, knowing that not everybody gets these opportunities. And he was an absolute star in the, the european league that he was in, the european rugby league that he was in. So for him to make the jump and try and go from Wales to Kansas City, man, it's a pretty, pretty ballsy move and pretty cool move to be making, man.

Jason Kelce

Lewis has wasted no time. He just got done working out with Pat and some of the guys down in Texas this past weekend. Um, Travis, you said you talked to you. Did you, when did you get the chance to talk to him and have you heard Pat say whether he's good or not? No, I haven't talked to Pat about him yet.

Travis Kelce

Um, yeah, Louis is, he's down there working hard, man. And it's going to be, it's going to be a humbling experience. Yeah. At first, it's not, it's not easy to just make that jump. They're two completely different games, but he is an athlete and that's what the Chiefs saw.

He's a smart kid. He's smart, smart player. So he's going to be able to, you know, pick up the, the offense eventually, but it's going to be a tough few months for him here while he's getting acclimated to the NFL, where we've been doing this since we were kids, so, and we've been playing this game, so we're just going to have just those little instincts that we've, we've built over the years that he has to start to catch up with. So biggest advice I gave him was just try not to let it overwhelm you as much as it can and just know that everybody believes that you, you have the potential to be able to play. So just absorb as much as you can, learn as much as you can in the short time that you'll have before the season.

Jason Kelce

Listen, I'm excited. I know there's going to be a learning curve. I hope this guy takes the world by fucking storm. Me too. Man will be electric, and I mean, love seeing it smile like that.

This guy is. If he works out, he's gonna be the most marketable player of all time. Look at that. Yeah, we gotta love a debonair young man already. And that wraps up another episode of new heights, everyone.
