Travis, where are you at? I can neither disclose that information, nor do I know.

[00:00:04]

Can we get a country of origin?

[00:00:06]

I can give you a continent. I'm in Europe. This isn't like the guessing game. We're not guessing where Travis is.

[00:00:12]

We're not playing 21 Questions? Is that an ambulance?

[00:00:16]

They definitely don't have ambulances here, though. I'm going to assume that's in New York, because that's what happens in New York.

[00:00:22]

Yeah, that goes off the skyscorpers.

[00:00:29]

[00:01:14]

Right now.

[00:01:16]

I don't know if you could tell, we are not in our standard setups. Travis is overseas. He will not disclose his country, but he did give us an introduction with a certain language, so I'm going to bet on that one. I am in New York at an NFL location inside New York City because I'm at the upfront for ESPN.

[00:01:33]

What are you doing there, Jason?

[00:01:35]

They're going to announce that I'm a part of Monday Night Football, officially.

[00:01:38]

Nice, man. That's fucking awesome.

[00:01:42]

It's already been announced, but it's going to be a little bit more official here coming up. We're all in our uncharded territory, if you will. They're all out of the house right now, and we're going to give this episode. We refuse to not do everything possible to give this episode to you, 92%ers.

[00:02:00]

Everything possible.

[00:02:01]

We find a way to make it happen despite the time differences besides the mileage across oceans that we have to stream this to get it to you. We're getting it to you.

[00:02:11]

We'll always produce.

[00:02:13]

This episode, we're going to be talking about the Chiefs kicking off the NFL season. Travis having their very own Euro trip.

[00:02:20]

Yeah.

[00:02:21]

I'll let everyone know how I started maybe the biggest horse war since...

[00:02:28]

1812.

[00:02:29]

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

[00:02:40]

New news. Coming in hot. All right now. Travis has gone Hollywood first time. I have second time, but yes.

[00:02:47]

First item of new news. It has officially been announced that Travis has been cast in a new upcoming FX Horror Series, Grotesk. Gary from showrunner Ryan Murphy. Yes, sir. Travis, how's it going out there? What's happened while filming this? Has it been fun?

[00:03:05]

Dude, it's been so much fun.

[00:03:06]

You've been meeting a bunch of people?

[00:03:08]

Yes. I'm in there with Nisi Nash-Bets.

[00:03:12]

Oh, little Reno 911.

[00:03:14]

Ryan Murphy is an unbelievable writer, director, producer, all the above, man. There's nothing he can't do. Everybody's just been so helpful in making me feel comfortable. And even on top of that, just giving me the direction I need and the coaching I need to portray this part that I'm in. And it's been so much fun, man. It's been so much fun. I feel like a Jibrony. I feel like an amateur. And I haven't gotten fired yet. So we're doing good.

[00:03:45]

We're doing good. Not being fired is usually a good sign.

[00:03:47]

They haven't told me to fucking kick rocks after the first week being with them. So it's been awesome. And it's such a cool and unique show. I don't want to give away too much, but the name itself can tell you it's quite a mystery. Every scene has just been so much fun to be in.

[00:04:04]

Awesome. Yeah, Nisi Nash shared this video with you guys on Instagram and said, This is what happens when winners link up. Welcome to Grotesk. Nice.

[00:04:16]

So much fun, man.

[00:04:17]

What can you tell us? What is acting like? Not just having a limited role, but full on. How many episodes are you in?

[00:04:26]

Do you know yet? I don't know anything about any of that. I don't even Cool. Right now, I'm just taking it scene by scene and trying to make sure that I remember my lines. Like I said, I'm very amateur at this. That's important. But it's been fun. It's been fun jumping into things. The biggest difference from being outside of the acting world and starting to get into it is that you're very much in tune to the scenes, and you don't want to get so much caught up on the lines. You want to be in the scene with whoever you're acting with, right? So I had started off thinking, Man, just memorize your lines, memorize your lines. But in the reality of things is you want to be able to take that scene from one point to the next and portray exactly what the scene's meaning is. It's been so much fun unraveling that with not only Ryan Murphy and Nisi, but everybody involved. And yeah, it's a fun challenge for me right now.

[00:05:28]

I was talking to Miles Teller at the Super Bowl. Legend. I was asking him, How do you go about picking roles and what you're going to do? He said, First of all, you read the script. It's all about the script. But then he said, It's always about directors, writers, producers, all these other people that it takes. You're with, obviously, Ryan Murphy on this project, a guy who's brought other shows such as Glee, American Horror Story, American Crime Story, Nip Tuck, 911. So much. This guy's got quite a catalog of It's an unbelievably successful shows. How's it been like to work with him? Have you seen any of his other shows?

[00:06:04]

How does this compare? That was such a big part of it. And I was blown away and shocked that he was willing to give me a role like this because it is a big role in the show. And he seemed very confident that I'd be able to do this. And he injected that in me the first conversation that we had. So hopefully, I don't bomb this for him.

[00:06:29]

No, you're going to do good.

[00:06:30]

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

[00:06:50]

How does it compare to Moonbase 8 with my man, John C. Reilly?

[00:06:54]

It was just a completely different vibe. John C. Was so fucking awesome, and And that was pure comedy. It was nothing but comedy. It was everything they were saying. I was in the scene with them, trying not to die laughing at the shit him, Fred, and Tim were saying. And it was just it was awesome. That was such a cool experience in itself. But night and day different in terms of what the shows are going to be.

[00:07:21]

Can't wait, hopefully. Good luck in the rest of the filming and getting it done. And can't wait to check it out. That's going to be on FX, right?

[00:07:27]

Fx, baby.

[00:07:28]

Yeah, baby. Tune in. Yes. I'm getting ready for Rotesca R. E, featuring the Big Yeti.

[00:07:33]

All right, Jason, we just talked about it a little bit. You're officially signing with ESPN. We're also recording this on Tuesday. It is official. By the time you're watching this, Jason Kelsi will officially be a member of ESPN family. That's right. Couldn't be happy for you, dude. We grew up watching all of the legends, and ESPN really fueled our sports, like Fandam, our competition, our knowledge of the games and the sports that we were playing. And I'm just so happy for you, man. But Do you want to tell everyone exactly what you're doing and what you signed up for at ESPN?

[00:08:08]

The big thing is Monday Night Countdown. That's the main part of the deal. We got some other things in the works, potentially, but that That's the most important thing that we've really tried to iron out. When I called you and we started talking about the different opportunities, but I mentioned ESPN in particular, your exact words, I think were, Man, you're going to be on Monday Night football? I'm like, Yeah.

[00:08:31]

That's insane.

[00:08:33]

Yeah, it's crazy. Especially when we were growing up, this was the night everyone thought of with football, Monday night football. And now I'm going to be on there with some incredibly talented people, Scott Van Pelt, Marcus Spears, Ryan Clark. All these guys offer not just great expertise, but wonderful personalities. I just think it's going to be a lot of fun, man. It's going to be a good time. We're going to be at the games, traveling around. I I still don't know what I'm wearing, so I guess we'll find out.

[00:09:02]

Is he going to make you wear a suit? They're going to make you button it up, dude?

[00:09:06]

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

[00:09:20]

Nice. I'm a little biased, but- I'm rolling with it. I'm a little biased, but I think you guys have the best desk in football right now, dude. That's a hell of a fucking That's what I'm trying to find out right there.

[00:09:31]

It'll be good.

[00:09:32]

Are you going to be able to not be biased if the Chiefs and the Eagles play Monday night football?

[00:09:39]

I will, of course, be biased in who I'm rooting for. But in my analysis, I think I'll definitely be able to be unbiased. I think I always am. Even while I was a player, I was always trying to give my honest perspective and point of view. I don't think that changes now. I think now I'm just going to have more opportunities to voice that, which is either good or bad, probably bad if you're a horse racing fan, but good if you're a football fan. Obviously, I'm always going to root for the Chiefs and Eagles, especially the Chiefs while you're playing. And the Eagles, that's where I spent my entire career. So I'll always be rooting for those teams. But as far as sharing sports analysis, football analysis on them, I'll always be honest.

[00:10:23]

Are you going to be on my ass? Are you going to be harder on me than anyone else? Are you going to be more open to fucking shit on me because it's me?

[00:10:34]

No, I wouldn't do that to you.

[00:10:37]

No, come on.

[00:10:39]

I'm going to make fun of you for sure. But I don't think If you drop a pass, I'm not going to go out of my way to do anything like that.

[00:10:49]

But if you do a silly dance... I need to catch the fucking ball.

[00:10:53]

I'll say that, but I'm not going to jump on top of you. But if you do a silly end zone dance that I think looks stupid, I'll make in front of that for sure.

[00:11:01]

Can't name one of those. All right, now let's get it to some fan mentions of the week. We got some good ones, and we appreciate you, 92% us for always sending them in from @CartunaRadio on Twitter, who sent in an incredible cartoon version of us talking about getting kicked out of preschool. They even got Kylie in there.

[00:11:21]

Me and a kid were playing, and for some reason, we were stabbing each other with sporks.

[00:11:25]

For some reason, they were playing. Jason didn't like how they were playing, so he stabbed him in the face with a fork. I got kicked out of preschool because during play time, the teacher told me, Travis, you have to share. I said, No, I don't. And through the chair that I was sitting in at her. Kind of just used our voiceover for this cartoon. I'll tell you what, this is damn good. Yeah, this is great. I think they got you a little skinnier, but maybe that's motivation.

[00:11:52]

No, they just know where I'm headed. No, this is the content we need, people. This is so good.

[00:11:57]

This is so good.

[00:11:59]

Great animation. Funny. I mean, Cartoon or Radio really knocked out of the park with this.

[00:12:05]

Hell, yeah. They tweeted it saying, Why would you give that kid a spork? The famous Ed, Kelsey Line, @New Heightshow@jace, at me, and #Kylie because she's not on Twitter. So we absolutely love this thing. What other New Heights stories do we need a cartoon version of?

[00:12:25]

I don't know. I think the Kylie shark incident.

[00:12:32]

That's showing some visuals and uses pedaling away. That would do pretty good. That would do pretty good.

[00:12:38]

Yeah, that would do pretty good. Mine and Kylie's first date, that's probably another good one.

[00:12:42]

Oh, God damn, that's good.

[00:12:44]

How about Mom? Mom putting you on the leash at the Amusement Park. Leash Kid.

[00:12:51]

Leash Kid. Who the fuck is 53? The Brian Kelly. Just absolutely ripping that kid. To We would love some visuals.

[00:13:00]

We would love that for sure.

[00:13:02]

Man, I'll tell you what, this is pretty good, though. They did a great job of the spork going straight into the kid's head. I remember that like it was yesterday. You could tell that was exactly how it happened.

[00:13:12]

It was a little exaggerated. It wasn't that much.

[00:13:15]

Nope, it was exactly that.

[00:13:17]

I don't remember being in the principal's office. I remember we were just in the same room. I don't think there even were offices. I mean, it was a preschool. But yeah, other than that, it's pretty This is so good, man.

[00:13:31]

Fuck. How's why doing at a preschool? Can we get an update? Why is your girl? Nice. She hasn't got kicked out yet.

[00:13:37]

Not kicked out. A matter of fact, the teachers have nothing but rave reviews. Obviously, she's taken after Kylie very well. That a girl. No, she's doing great. She loves it. Ellie actually just started preschool. She's at the same school as Wyatt. They call them frogs at this preschool when they're that young. Tadpole and frog. They graduate the bear. That's frogs and bears and everything else in between, I guess. Dude, it's fun listening to your kids talk about what they did for the day, who they're meeting at their little classes, like why it's got a crush on one of the boys. I'm not telling you his name, but you can just tell in the way she talks about them. So I'm ready to beat the fuck out of him.

[00:14:20]

Just go after the dad. Just call your kid down. All right? He doesn't need to be this cool. He's only in preschool.

[00:14:28]

I know how these fuckers think when they're five.

[00:14:30]

I know.

[00:14:31]

I know exactly what's going through his mind. I know exactly how these fuckers think.

[00:14:43]

The teachers are impressive.

[00:14:45]

We went in for a parent-teacher conference deal or whatever. We met with the one head of her. What they're assessing, what they know. The same teacher that we have for Wyatt and Elliot was also the teacher that I went to preschool when Kylie was growing up. You can just tell how amazing she is and just great at her job. I don't know, it's just awesome to see. I think it's really cool to hear your kids experiencing things on their own and then come back to share them with you.

[00:15:15]

That's got to be fun, man. Yeah. Well, shout out to Y for not getting kicked out yet. Ellie, keep enjoying it, girl. That's right. Up next, the rest of the fan mentions are directed by Jason. Nice. Oh, I wonder why. I guess you accidentally started some serious beef with horse Twitter after you accused the beloved Secretariat of doping. You accused it like every horse wasn't doing it, but you singled her out, or you singled him out.

[00:15:47]

All I was trying to get across in the podcast, and this devolved online, where I started talking about enlarged hearts as a very nonmedical person and steroids. So we're just going to get back on track here. All I was trying to say was that we should not compare eras across each other. I believe that in all sports, not just horse racing.

[00:16:05]

All sports.

[00:16:06]

I don't... Yeah. There's still... I don't even want to get out of this. But there's been a... This isn't like... It's It's crazy to like...

[00:16:16]

I can't believe you got into this.

[00:16:19]

Yeah, it's really stupid.

[00:16:21]

It's very stupid. It's so funny, man. I go on Twitter last week, and I'm just like, What is Jason? Why is Jason He's writing paragraph after paragraph explaining himself right now?

[00:16:35]

It was a little bit overboard.

[00:16:36]

You let Twitter get to you, dude. You can't let it, dude.

[00:16:39]

People are like, Don't say anything without facts. I'm sorry, guys. There's not going to be any facts. It wasn't illegal. They weren't testing. But fair enough, I should not. Accusations. God damn it.

[00:16:52]

There is no win here for Jason. I'm sorry, but that's the world we live in.

[00:16:58]

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

[00:17:21]

Doing it. I just want to say thank you to Twitter for getting my guy riled up, man. Fuck.

[00:17:26]

I'm not even... Again, this was not steroids Steroids weren't illegal before night time. I'm not accusing anybody of wrongdoing. It just is what it is. This is what was happening back then.

[00:17:38]

This is so good. All right, let's get off as Secretariat. Shout out to everybody Everybody involved. All the horse trainers out there that are doing it the right way. We love you. Don't give steroids to horses.

[00:17:50]

All right. I'm done beating a dead horse. I don't want to launch accusations at one specific animal. That was not my intent. All I was What I was trying to get at is we don't know what was going on in the '70s people. There were all sorts of things available. The testing wasn't as good. That's all I was trying to get at. I apologize if that made it seem that I was coming after Secretariat for doing things outside of what everybody else may or may not have been doing. I was not trying to taint that horse's legacy one bit. It's a magnificent horse with a heart bigger than the Grinch. It's a magnificent animal.

[00:18:31]

Wait, the Grinch has a heart?

[00:18:32]

Well, at the end of the movie, it's a really... I think he was taking steroids. I think the Grinch is really just a story of steroids.

[00:18:44]

God damn All right.

[00:18:45]

In all seriousness, Secretary was wonderful. Probably the best race horse of all time, depending on who you ask. But regardless, big fan of horse racing, big fan of Mystic Dan, and hopefully we can link you up at maybe the Belmont or something, because I definitely can't make the previous, but maybe the Belmont.

[00:19:08]

Well, I can't wait to see how the Grinch juiced Christmas.

[00:19:13]

What if thatHow do you think he got that big ass bag of presents up? He had to take steroids. And then as his heart grew, he became more affectionate.

[00:19:23]

I don't think that's how steroids were. You already made a Christmas album. I think it's time to make.

[00:19:28]

Is that a Tup of Accelerator? Is that how they drink it?

[00:19:33]

I don't think they have Accelerator here. I don't even know how they say Accelerator here.

[00:19:38]

Well, it's either Accelerator, if it's France, if it's Italy, it's Accelerator. Where the fuck did you just go? I don't know where. It's a mamma mia, it's an accelerator. That's how they would say it in Italy.

[00:19:56]

Nice. Okay. That's a good point.

[00:19:58]

France, Accelerator. Italy, the Accelerator. I don't know Spanish as well.

[00:20:07]

You spoke Spanish, and you should know it.

[00:20:10]

Well, they made me stop if I wanted to pass a class. That was part of the stipulations.

[00:20:15]

That you had to stop?

[00:20:16]

I forget what her name was, but she gave me a C if I agreed never to take another Spanish class. We went over this. In 10th grade. I said C.

[00:20:30]

Let's move on to the NFL schedule release.

[00:20:33]

All right, here we go. We said earlier, we are filming this episode on Tuesday, so we don't have the full NFL schedule release yet. That will come out Wednesday, I think, at some point. But we do know the following. The Chiefs are going to kick off the season Thursday night against the Baltimore Ravens. And a rematch of the AFC title game. Actually, this NFL room I have, it's actually a Ravens room.

[00:20:57]

Yeah, we got the Ravens, baby. And got them in the first game of the year, so everybody should be healthy and everybody should be feeling good and ready to rock and roll. I love a good powerhouse matchup to start off the season. I think it gets everybody excited for football, and sure enough, they're going to see some of the best football being played. So I'm definitely geared up for that. And I know the Ravens will be fired up to play us. That's for damn sure. I've been there before.

[00:21:21]

Does the Ravens have any big offseason news? What do they do this offseason?

[00:21:24]

I think they signed a safety, or somebody else signed their safety. Or one of their safeties. Obviously, they still got Kyle Hamilton, their best-D Eric Henry. That was it. That was it. That was it. That's right. I knew it was something like that.

[00:21:38]

They signed Derrick Henry.

[00:21:38]

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

[00:21:49]

They got Thunder and they got Lightning. They got Derrick Henry coming downhill, and they got probably the shiftiest. Might be, dude, he is... Lamar is ridiculous. He's breaking dudes off left and right. It's absurd to watch.

[00:22:03]

Dude, when we saw him in the AFC, bro, he wasn't a thin dude like he was at Louisville in his first couple of years. He bulked up.

[00:22:11]

Oh, really?

[00:22:12]

He's breaking arm tackles.

[00:22:14]

He puts a weight on. Nice.

[00:22:15]

For damn sure. He broke an arm tackle, one of the biggest arms on our team. A kid, John Senna, Leo Chanel broke his arm tackle and threw a deep shutdown past to Zé flowers in the first quarter. And of Of course, Lamar is one of the most motivated guys in the league, one of the most dangerous quarterbacks to play this game. So it'll be a fun matchup, and I know it's something to get excited for. I think they're going to want to come out and show out, and we're going to want to start the season off on a great note. And what better way to do it against one of the best teams in the league?

[00:22:49]

The other big offseason change for them is that their divas of Courtney took the job with the Seattle Seahawks. The first game of the year, I always hated going up against teams with brand new coaching staffs. You just don't know. Who the hell knows what's about to... I mean, it's fun. It's on the sideline. You're like, They're doing this. I didn't think they were going to be doing this. Or it's like, Yeah, it was exactly the same as where he was before. Did they promote somebody within or did they hire outside Head. Do you know? I mean, you probably don't. You haven't started preparing for the Baltimore Raven jet?

[00:23:19]

We might start doing that in mini camp. I know we usually get a little bit of a Head Start. There goes those New York sirens. I know those. That's right.

[00:23:27]

I think it's a fire truck. I think that's a fire truck. It's got that.

[00:23:35]

Yeah, get the fuck out of the way. We got to be somewhere.

[00:23:38]

We're not just trying to catch a bad guy. We're trying to save good guys, so get the fuck out of the way.

[00:23:43]

That's a good point. That's exactly what that sounds like.

[00:23:45]

Because if we're all being honest, when they're trying to catch bad guys, it's like,. Everybody likes some bad guys. Some bad guys, everybody likes.

Do you like starting with a in-conference game as meaningful against an opponent that you know is also going to be in heavy playoff content? This is just a regular game. This is a rematch of the AFC Championship. What do you think about starting the season off like that?

[00:27:51]

I do like playing the potential top teams in the league early. I'd rather play them early or mid-season. I don't like playing at the end of season outside of the division. Why is that? I just feel like it's too close to the playoffs. And if I have a chance to play them in the playoffs, I want to keep that game fresh. I don't know. That's your great point. I feel like we always play. We've I've always played the bangles in December or January. And I'm just in my head, I'm like, Man, I really just want to save that game and the excitement and the hype of that game for the playoffs. Now, with that being said, it comes around in the and you're still excited, and it's still an unbelievable matchup. But I think it's cool that this year we play the Ravens early, we play the bangles early, and those are going to be two of the best teams in the National Football League. So I'm excited, and it gets those two under our belt and gives us somewhere to gage where we are amongst those teams early on. And I like to see where I'm at and see how what direction I need to go right now, if that makes sense.

[00:29:03]

It does make sense. And I've never thought about it that way, but it makes complete sense. And I think you articulated it very well.

[00:29:08]

And I'm always just fucking beat up in December, man. And those games are fucking tough, man.

[00:29:13]

I like what you're saying. The end of the year, it's all about playoffs. So you should be playing in division opponents to settle who's going to win the division. And you should go into the playoffs with a fresh game. I agree. I think it is a different feeling. It's better when you get those out of the way early. Then you get to see how the team's changed later in the season because obviously, there's a big evolution that happens throughout the course of the season for all NFL teams. I think that makes a ton of sense. Do you think the NFL is trying to build up the Mahomes-Lamar rivalry the same way that there is also the Mahomes-Burro, Mahomes-Allen?

[00:29:54]

I don't think they necessarily have to. I mean, every game that we've ever played against the Ravens has been fucking a barn burner to the end of the game. And there's been excitement left and right. There have been so many of those games.

[00:30:09]

You guys opened the season on maybe Monday night against them one year, or it was either one or two. It was either the first week or the second week. And I think Wink was still there, and it was like a blitzero fest. You guys were like, bombs over Baghdad.

[00:30:24]

That was Pat Mahomes' first year starting. That was that long ago? Yeah. They I'm early. You're talking about the game that was at KC, right? Or was it at Baltimore?

[00:30:35]

I think the one I'm thinking of was in Baltimore, but I'm not positive.

[00:30:38]

I remember Pat's first year starting because we were losing the game with seconds left. We had a fourth and forever that we needed to get. And Pat started rolling out to his right and just fucking hucked it down late, down the middle of the field, like you're told not to your entire quarterback career. And Tyreek, it was just right there, right into the gut.

[00:31:02]

We're talking about the same game. So that was in KC.

[00:31:05]

Yeah, and they blitzed us the entire fucking game.

[00:31:08]

I mean, that's true wake fashion. Yeah.

[00:31:10]

Get after the rookie quarterback or the young quarterback.

[00:31:12]

Was Lamar with Baltimore at that point, or was that pre-Lamar?

[00:31:16]

Yeah. No, I think that was his rookie year. He went fucking nuts.

[00:31:18]

Lamar and Pat are the same year?

[00:31:20]

I think. Either that or they're one year apart. I'm not sure. They're right around each other, though.

[00:31:26]

They're close, though.

[00:31:27]

I just remember Lamar making unbelievable plays left and right.

[00:31:32]

I remember it being a ridiculous game. I thought Lamar was out there. I'm just clarifying because it felt like their offense was ridiculously explosive in that game. I think that was early on in the Lamar and Oh, my gosh, who was the OC that was there? Was that Stanford? Greg Roman.

[00:31:50]

Roman. There it is.

[00:31:52]

Speaking of Joe Burrow, it was also announced that the Chiefs will be playing bangles week 2, as you just said. Is anything Joe said at the New Heights Live show going to be brought back up, do you think?

[00:32:02]

No, I don't think so. No. He loves talking shit. I'm sure Chris Jones will give him everything he's hoping for in terms of talking shit because Chris loves to talk, man.

[00:32:12]

I got to say, I could not have been more impressed with Joe.

[00:32:16]

He was just like- Every time I hang around him, every time I catch up with him, man, you love the guy even more. It really is like that, man. It's not surprising. He's one of the best competitors out there. Cool hand Joe, man. Joe Scheisky. He's one of the smoothest football players, just the most calm, cool, collected, and just great competitors in the game. And when you meet him, man, he's ultimately just a great dude, man. For him to tell the story about when you text him and even to remember that you did that back then was, I thought, really told everybody the type of guy he is. And he's just appreciative of the road and the journey he's had to this point, man. Yeah, we're going to have our hands full. We're going to have our hands full. Joey B is looking big or strong longer, looked like a fucking beast.

[00:33:02]

He's got a brand new wrist tendon or ligament or whatever they had to fix in there? Yeah. That's going to be interesting. I can't wait to watch him when he gets back out there, man. Long overdue. And as Orlando Brown said, he is officially the spice I see his white boy in the NFL. Or did he put you there?

[00:33:17]

Which one did he put? No, it was Joey B. There was no contest. I didn't even argue it. I'm just like, yeah, I don't know who came up with this dumb-ass question. Everyone knows Joe Scheisky.

[00:33:25]

I know it was intern Brandon.

[00:33:28]

All right, here we go. We know we need content, Brandon. We get it. No, it will be interesting to see what they do with their offensive weapons. They lost Joe Mixon. I know they gained Mike Gusecki, my tight end. Oh, nice. Tied end. But it'll be- WhatWhat's that freaking-The Skedaddle. The Gritty. The Skedaddle. His version of the Gritty called the Skedaddle. I'm excited to see him in that offense. And then on top of that, it'll be interesting what they do with the wideouts because I know they got to pay either one of them or both of them. I forget what the scenario is. It doesn't matter. As long as Joey B is out there, it's going to be a hell of a game because they got great defense and great coaches.

[00:34:09]

Absolutely.

[00:34:10]

Start this thing off right, baby. Two big primetime matchups, man. A couple of other highlights from what we already know about the Chief schedule is we play at Buffalo, so we're going back to Buffalo, Jason.

[00:34:22]

That's fun.

[00:34:24]

If it's a Monday night game, you're going to get shit faced. You're going to get shit faced at work?

[00:34:29]

I'd probably ESPN might not let me do that on a Monday night game, but-They must not want their ratings to go through the fucking roof. Thursday night, though. Thursday night, I could do it. I do want to go back to Buffalo without the Chiefs or Eagles playing them just because I want to be fully Buffalo. Dude, it's incredible. You're going to find out. You're going to get an opportunity to go and experience what Buffalo is.

[00:34:55]

I love the experience being there. I love the hostile environment like that.

[00:35:00]

No, you have no idea what it's like in them stands at the big tree in. It's going to engulf you. You're going to love the way you look in Buffalo before the game. I guarantee it. The Chiefs also play in Cleveland. I'd love to go to that game. We'll see what day that's on.

[00:35:15]

Yeah, Cleveland, baby. Believe me, good to go home playing the dog pound. I remember my first game ever playing in Cleveland. I actually went to there. Yeah, I actually scored in the dog pound twice. And it was a welcoming home of birds just being flipped off to me, just fucking right to my grill. And I was just like, Man, I've always dreamt of this. Thanks, Cleveland. I love you guys, too. And I didn't... Obviously, I respected it, and I still fucking love Cleveland, and I'm just ecstatic that I get another chance, hopefully, get another chance to play in their stadium in front of the hometown crowd, man.

[00:35:59]

It's going to be awesome. I remember that game. Kareem Hunt just signed in Cleveland.

[00:36:03]

No, he signed in KC. He was with us. Kareem had, I think, three touch-times. I'm pretty sure.

[00:36:06]

Kareem, he both went back home. That's what it was. Yeah, he balled out. I remember him balling out.

[00:36:11]

Yeah. Us together, we had four or five touch downs. Two Cleveland kids running it up on the Brownies, baby. Got it. Got to love that as Cleveland fans, man.

[00:36:21]

No doubt.

[00:36:24]

Shout out to the Browns, man. We love you guys. I'm always cheering for you, but for that game, it's on and popping Baby. All right, now, Jason, you got your first assignment for Monday Night Football now that we've announced that you're going to be on the desk with SVP Ryan and Swagoo. Yeah. Doing the first Monday Night game. Is it in? It's in San Fran. You're going all the way West Coast for your first gig. That'll be good.

[00:36:50]

Yeah.

[00:36:51]

That'll be a good matchup.

[00:36:52]

First day on the job. I'm going all the way, 6 hours to San Francisco. Dude, I'm excited.

[00:36:59]

A little He versus Rodgers, man.

[00:37:01]

Well, that's the thing. Aaron's back and healthy. Anybody that watched the Jets last year, their defense was ridiculously good. I'm curious to see what they look like with Aaron at the helm, being the player that he is. Sam Fran has been the top of the NFC for five, six years now. They've always been up there. Salah is going back to where he was right before he went to the Jets with Shaana Ann, a little reunion.

[00:37:29]

Oh, that's a good point. Yeah.

[00:37:31]

Hell, yeah. I think it's a great first matchup. It'll be an awesome game. A little purdy versus Rodgers, actually. Yeah, man. Great way to start off.

[00:37:39]

Fuck, yeah.

[00:37:39]

I wonder how Rodgers feels because I think he hurt himself on the first Monday night, right? I think he was hurt on Monday night, and then he reenters on Monday night.

[00:37:49]

Yeah, that's a good point. I'm sure he's just excited to get back out there.

[00:37:54]

I don't think he cares.

[00:37:56]

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

[00:38:05]

Rip the keys. I think for the Jets, they got to stop the run. I think whenever I think of a Shana-Hann offense, I think of if you stop the run and you make them be one-dimensional. It really hinders the strengths of that offense. It's all built on misdirection, motions, and predicated on run and play action. If you force Brock Purdy to be a drop-back passer, that's your best hope, even though Brock Purdy It's been improved a little bit, especially at the end of last season, that he can operate as a drop-back passer. They got something really good going on there in San Fran. But I think that's the biggest thing. If I'm the Jets, stop the run. That neutralizes the play action and a lot of things they like to do and the misdirection off of it. If I am San Fran, yeah, I think you are trying to just stop Aaron Rodgers. The Jets have a great running attack.

[00:38:53]

Yeah, they do.

[00:38:54]

Rodgers coming back, being fresh, if he can be anywhere close to the quarterback that he has been in the past, obviously, one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. I think that's what I'm looking forward to seeing the most. If Rodgers can execute, I think the Jets are going to be really dangerous this year.

[00:39:10]

Like a fucking pro.

[00:39:12]

How do you like that one, Jets, Jake?

[00:39:13]

Like a fucking pro, you talking head, you little Muppet. All right. And here we go, ladies and gentlemen. That's Jason Kelsi as a broadcaster. I love it. And one last thing about the NFL schedule before we We're going to move on here. Tom braided is making his broadcasting debut in Cleveland. Brady's first game in the booth. Yeah, I love that. Week one matchup between the Cowboys and the Browns. Boys versus the Browns. I actually like that match. That'll be a fun one. How do we think Tom will do in the booth? Fantastic because it's fucking Tom braided.

[00:39:46]

Yeah, he's going to do fucking great. He's the greatest quarterback of all time. He's going to be able to share his insight, what he thinks about the game, life. He's going to be sharing what was going on in his head while he was playing. Yeah, that's going to be perfect. And he's going to be doing that for everybody to listen to. I fucking can't wait to listen to Tom braided call games, and he's going to kill it. And the fact that he's doing it in Cleveland to start off, sucks that he's doing a Cowboys game. I mean, who wants to watch one of those? Me. I can't wait to hear what Tom sounds like, hear what he says about different situations, his analysis, especially on the quarterback position. But I mean, on everything, it's going to be awesome.

[00:40:27]

I love my guy, Greg Olson. They did him dirty over there in Fox, but I mean, it's Tom braided. What can you do, right? Sometimes just got to do your thing. And Greg does a fucking tremendous job. He called our Super Bowl game, and he's fucking fantastic doing that.

[00:40:42]

Yeah, I try not to be biased against the commentators and the color guys. But I think Greg is... I mean, he's phenomenal at it. You could tell he makes it a point to really know what he's talking about.

[00:40:57]

Yeah, and teach the game. I didn't know.

[00:41:00]

I found out maybe last year, but his dad was a coach. You can tell he thinks about the game not only as a player, but he has that type of mindset in him. Also, I feel like a tight end, and you would know this, it's interesting to see which guys go into color in what positions they play, because obviously, you think about the game in a relative manner to what you were doing on the field as a player sometimes, where Greg has this beautiful... He was raised by a coach, so he thinks about the game from a coaching perspective, but then he played tight-end. In tight-end, you have to be involved in all of it. Even more so to an extent than the quarterback does. The quarterback has to be involved in all of it. The tight-end, you're involved in not only all the passing concepts, the formations, all of it, you're also involved in all the run schemes, all the blocking. I think he's got a beautiful blend of just knowledge and experience to unleash when he's calling games. It's a joy to watch Greg call games or listen to It's my motherfucking dog.

[00:42:01]

Yeah. Yeah. So, Fox, you got two great ones, man. And again, we will probably go more in-depth to the NFL schedule next week after we see and they release who all the opponents are and where we're playing them. And when we're playing them.

[00:42:16]

Yeah, I think the schedule officially comes out tomorrow, if I'm not mistaken. Yes.

[00:42:20]

It's literally the day we release this podcast. Yeah.

[00:42:24]

So this might be a little bit dated. Sorry, you're going to have to wait a week for all of our other Expert analysis on all this stuff. Yeah.

[00:42:34]

It's just our excitement for who the chiefs got, maybe, this role.

[00:42:38]

Wednesday at 5:00 PM, to be specific. Thank you, Brandon. All righty. Non-schedule-related NFL news coming at you. The NFL versus NBA player debate that we started last season on this show is back. Nba veteran Austin Rivers claimed that there were 30 NBA players that could play in the NFL right now, and you can't do the same for NFL players in the NBA. Thirty? I feel you, you'll find 30 guys that are talented enough for sure to play in the NFL.

[00:43:05]

Thirty is a stretch, brother.

[00:43:07]

Did you see Ryan's stance on this?

[00:43:09]

I haven't, no.

[00:43:10]

He's essentially saying the mentality that people have in the NBA is much different than the NFL. He questions whether NBA mentality-driven players would be able to play in the NFL. I think it's a fair point. I just think that there's a lot of NFL players that really aren't as tough as maybe were being portrayed to be, especially in certain positions. No offense to receiver, but not everybody's Heinz Ward coming across and laying a block over the middle. There are plenty of guys that just catch a ball really well and jump high.

[00:43:38]

I also think that the majority of them are, though. It's just the nature of the occupation. The game? Yeah. It is what it is.

[00:43:47]

Everybody brings up Draymond Green's clip at Michigan State.

[00:43:52]

That's so unfair. We can show that, too. We talked about this the other day. That's so unfair. That was his first fucking day.

[00:43:58]

First day? Give the guy a week, at least, to work on some technique or line him up off the ball.

[00:44:03]

Has anybody even taught him how to get off a press? Exactly. Our first days in the NFL, they don't even allow you to press.

[00:44:13]

Dude, he doesn't know the snap count. The DB jumped the fuck out of it and got up into his chest. Of course, it was a bad rep for him. I'm not buying any of this.

[00:44:21]

We know this for a fact. If there was one guy in the NBA that was tough enough, it would be Draymond Green. You know what I mean? That's not That's not the scenario there. The scenario there would be whether or not he'd be fluent enough to be able to run routes, bend, because typically, that most NBA guys can't bend and just are different athletes. They're not asked to get low and play with leverage. It's just a completely different game. It's the reason why when Michael Jordan switched over to baseball, his trainer said, We got to turn you into a completely different athlete. You have to be able to work with the ground, where an NBA, you're almost working in the air more than on your in a sense. Obviously, I'm exaggerating a little bit, but it is what it is.

[00:45:05]

It's a completely different athlete that you have to become.

[00:45:10]

And not everybody can bend. Not everybody can play with leverage. Not everybody can play with that mentality to stick your face in the fan. Not everybody's willing to do that. It's going to be a debate that will never actually get fucking proven right or wrong. But I don't know. I got faith in NFL players being able to go over to the NBA.

[00:45:32]

I have zero faith in that. I do. I have zero faith in that. I think if there's one that definitely is an easier transition, simply for the fact that there's more positions and there's more spots, it's NBA to NFL. Not even saying how talented guys are, athletic they are.

[00:45:50]

But what is an NBA player translating to becoming? He's got to be either a what? A wide out, a tight end?

[00:45:58]

Wide out and tight end are the easiest ones. I think that if you gave them enough time, you could take a really big long guy and teach them how to rush a passer. Let's be honest, that's not that hard. You're basically already doing that when you're juking somebody to get to the basket anyways. There are similarities in steps and things like that. So obviously, you're using your hands different, and the offensive player is using their hands. It's not the same.

[00:46:23]

You put Zion on the fucking D-line.

[00:46:25]

That's what I'm saying.

[00:46:26]

You might have another $100 million contract.

[00:46:27]

Miles Garrett is the freakiest player I've ever seen in pads at defensive end. There are a lot of Miles Garrett in the NBA. A lot? Yeah. There are a lot of big dudes that are ridiculously explosive. Now, can they bend as well as Miles? Okay, I'm not saying that they would be as good as Miles Garretts.

[00:46:49]

Miles Garretts also wanted to- I know you're not saying that. I'm just saying just pure athleticism? I don't know, man. That dude is fucking power and explosive. To be able to bend the way he does, I don't know. All right, fair enough. Like I said, this shit will never get answered. You'll be able to contradict and say whatever you want about it, but I don't know.

[00:47:10]

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

[00:47:19]

I'm out on that.

[00:47:20]

I agree with that just because it's taken a long time. It'd be hard at this point in their careers, especially 30 good NBA players, that the type of talent that we're talking about, to restart their careers and get it going and play in the NFL. I feel like I could take LeBron James.

[00:47:41]

You can put him just about it anyway. Line him up off the ball.

[00:47:43]

Who's saying? Line him up off the ball so that you can't get a good jam on him. And within weeks, he'd be one of the most dominating red zone threats in the game. Who's going to go up and get a ball better than LeBron James in the NFL? Nobody. That's all I'm saying.

[00:47:57]

That's a good point.

[00:47:58]

But I don't know. It is LeBron James. Is this true? I'm picking a very talented man. But I feel like you could do similar things with Westbrook with other guys that are just like- That's two. They can jump through the gym. They're physically impressive athletes. I mean, have a run down on kickoff. I don't know.

[00:48:20]

I mean, I feel like there's enough six, seven guys in the NFL that play D-line that could fucking bang in the post.

[00:48:28]

Name somebody that could bang in the post.

[00:48:30]

Chris Jones.

[00:48:33]

Travis. I love Chris.

[00:48:35]

He's not. I've seen him play basketball.

[00:48:38]

He's also not six, seven.

[00:48:39]

Put me in there. I'll fucking bang.

[00:48:40]

You guys aren't six, seven.

[00:48:42]

He's bigger than me. I'm six, five.

[00:48:43]

You guys are the same height, pretty much. Let's not act like he's 6'7. Chris is not 6'7. He's 6'4, 6'5.

[00:48:50]

He's listed at 6'6. All right, I digress. Like I said, this will never be fixed.

[00:48:58]

All right, well, Chris Long, JJ Wad, Shannon Sharp. We're sure to let Austin Rivers know that no NBA players are tough enough for the NFL. I disagree with that. I think that there are definitely NBA players that are tough-minded. The fact that they flop, the reason they do this because it's encouraged, I don't buy that that's a reason that they can't play in the NFL. Could Secretariat play in the NFL? I don't know that he passed the drug test, but he's certainly athletic enough, too.

[00:49:24]

I hear where they're coming from. That's definitely a big question is, are they willing to take a hit every single time they get the ball and show up every single week and do that?

[00:49:38]

Are there more NHL players that could play in the NBA than NBA players that could play in the NHL?

[00:49:46]

Now we're getting somewhere. Now we're getting somewhere.

[00:49:51]

The NHL might be the only league that has more players that could transition over to the NBA than the NBA could transition into theirs.

[00:49:59]

There's no That's the way.

[00:50:00]

You don't think that not a single player in any of the major sports is going to go right now and go start playing in the NHL. It's not happening.

[00:50:07]

No, it's not happening.

[00:50:07]

It's too skill-driven.

[00:50:09]

I thought you were saying NHL to NBA. That's not happening either.

[00:50:13]

I'm just saying Some of those guys are pretty… Zdeno Charo is like 6'8. He could bang in the post.

[00:50:18]

He's 6'11. He is enormous.

[00:50:20]

Yeah, he's a big man. Zdeno Charles probably could have played in the NBA.

[00:50:23]

I want to see him shoot a jump shot.

[00:50:26]

We're just talking about 6'7. He's just rebounding and boxing He's just rebounding and boxing out.

[00:50:31]

6'7 is a shooting guard in the NBA now.

[00:50:34]

Oh, I thought you were saying sixth or seventh guy off the bench. My bad. Okay, sorry. My bad. I bet there's some NHL players that probably could have gone into Major League Baseball. There's definitely some that probably could have played in the NFL if they would have done that with their career choices.

[00:50:46]

Wayne Gradesky was a baseball player.

[00:50:48]

He was.

[00:50:49]

That's about all I got for you, though. Let's keep this thing moving.

[00:50:52]

Cool.

[00:50:52]

Shout out to all the NBA players. We're not calling you soft. It's just the different game, different world. I respect your guys' athleticism and your ability to play in the NBA. Do I think I could do it? Yes, but that's just me.

[00:51:06]

Go ahead. No comment. All right, we need to shout out one of our sponsors that you probably see us drinking all the time during the show, and that's Accelerator Active Energy Drink.

[00:51:17]

If you've been looking for ways to accelerate every day, look no further than Accelerator Active Energy. Jason, what flavor is your favorite?

[00:51:26]

Man, I'm not going to lie, I'm in New York, and this is my first episode I've done Accelerator in a long time.

[00:51:31]

It's been a tough one.

[00:51:32]

It won't happen again because I miss it dearly. If I was at the house, it'd probably be Rocketpop or Cherry Limeade. Maybe if I was feeling a little crazy.

[00:51:42]

Peach Paradise, maybe a little tropical punch. There's nothing like those signature plant-based thermogenics to give you the energy you need to record a podcast each and every week.

[00:51:53]

For all the 92%ers looking to get their hands on some Accelerator, you can buy Accelerator active energy drink at Hyvie, Wawa, and Meyer.

[00:52:01]

Yes, sir. Don't forget to accelerate.

[00:52:03]

You're done with the commercial? Grab a chair in here. Look at this. We're getting bombed.

[00:52:08]

We're getting bombed?

[00:52:10]

Yeah. Who we got on this thing?

[00:52:13]

We got for you.

[00:52:15]

It's like Travis is having a rough day. I'm going to take these off so you can talk here.

[00:52:19]

I love it. Ross, what's going on?

[00:52:20]

How are you?

[00:52:22]

I'm living the dream, man. How about you?

[00:52:24]

Everything's good until this big guy showed up. We haven't got any work done.

[00:52:27]

The schedule is going to be about three weeks late. No way. Listen, thank you for giving me two primetime matchups early, baby. We love it. We love it. Arrowhead is going to be rocking and rolling. Wait, you might get more. Just wait. Hey, you don't got to threaten me with a good time. You might get more.

[00:52:44]

Well, it was fun because this weekend, my girls were tracking Travis and dancing in Paris. I think it was this weekend.

[00:52:51]

I love it. I love it. It was an incredible shot. They even gave me a shot of you up there dancing. It was pretty good. You know it, baby.

[00:52:59]

It's very easy to keep tabs on Travis now. It's hard to be in conspicuous these days. It's Travis Kielsen.

[00:53:04]

That sounds like a good segment, Tabs on Travis. It's hard to be Travis.

[00:53:06]

Be careful. Yeah, absolutely.

[00:53:08]

You already know. Kamehs, you're the man. It's great to see you. Hopefully, everything's going well for you.

[00:53:12]

Are you going to get back sometime this spring?

[00:53:14]

I'm going to I'm going to be dancing around. Yeah, I'm all over the world this offseason, but it'll be a nice... It's like my gang to my gang. Football, it keeps me locked in Kansas City during the season, and I got to fly around and have some fun in the offseason. Sounds like a Nice balance. There we go, baby.

[00:53:31]

I see you're doing all right. Yeah, I see you're doing all right.

[00:53:33]

Good to see you.

[00:53:34]

[00:54:59]

All right, now it's time to talk about our next sponsor, Uncrustible. It's the best part of the sandwich. Jason, as you know, it's about time where the kids are wrapping up school. And summer is right ahead. And back to the fun. All the fun in the summer, next to the pool, the day camps, the hanging out at friends' houses, our entire childhood thrown into one summer.

[00:55:25]

That's right. It's the best time of year, Trev. No question about it. No matter what you and your kids are getting to do this summer, Uncrustibles are the perfect on-the-go snack for all the best activities like summer camp, days of the pool, and for us, trips down the shore.

[00:55:38]

All right, now, Uncrustibles are also great for kids' sports when parents get put on team snack duty. That's right. Man, I wish someone would have brought Uncrustibles when I was a kid.

[00:55:50]

It would have been so much better. Make sure you get your hands on some Uncrustibles this summer, 92%. They really are the perfect all-around best on-the-go snack for activities.

[00:56:00]

They are also incredibly convenient to purchase. You can find Uncrustibles in the freezer section of your local grocery store. Got to love it.

[00:56:10]

All right, let's move on to Out of the House. Out of the House is brought to you by our friends at Accelerator Active Energy. You can find Accelerator at Hyvie, Wawa, Meyer, and Walmart. Com.

[00:56:20]

Oh, Walmart. Com. Another edition. Nice.

[00:56:23]

Walmart. Com. Hey. If you weren't on social media this week, Travis was out of the House last week, and is still currently out of the house, as we see right here.

[00:56:31]

Haven't seen my house in a while.

[00:56:34]

Travis, you went to Paris.

[00:56:35]

Yes, I went to France.

[00:56:35]

How was it?

[00:56:37]

France. It was fun. It was a blast. I had a blast at Tate's show. Her new rendition of the Ares Tour. I suggest everybody go see it. It has their new Tortured Poets Department, a few songs, a handful of those songs in the new show, which means there's a new segment and new lights and new dancing and new everything to the fucking show. So I suggest everybody get out there and see it. It was absolutely unbelievable. I enjoyed every bit of it. And sure enough, I got to see a few familiar faces. Connor Barwin was up there, one of our favorite teammates of all time.

[00:57:14]

Oh, yeah. Cb.

[00:57:16]

Cb was up there. He had some fun. He just happened to be out in Paris visiting his team, actually in Italy, and then came over to France right afterwards. Trieste. Yes, Trieste. And shout out to Trieste for advancing in the playoffs out there. And then I got to see Gigi and Bradley. Bradley Cooper, man, BC. Big coupe. We were all in the suite having a blast. How was that? They're amazing.

[00:57:40]

Did you talk about the Eagles?

[00:57:41]

Of course, Bradley Cooper is a huge Eagles fan. And he got to see mom. He I had to see mom. He was opening a restaurant in, I believe in New York. I forget where exactly it is, but shout out to BC. And they were doing a fun presentation or a fun event for the ladies, and mom pulled up, and so did Ms. Cooper, Bradley's mom.

[00:58:02]

Nice.

[00:58:03]

And a bunch of familiar faces as well. But yeah, shout out to them. And on top of that, it was an all-around lovely night.

[00:58:10]

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

[00:58:21]

Dude, that was... I mean, I don't know if they're just getting better or if I just keep forgetting how they are.

[00:58:27]

I watched videos. It looked way more electric for some reason.

[00:58:30]

It was electric in there. I'll tell you what, Kansas City showed out. Argentina was unbelievable. Australia, they party with the best of them, and they celebrate with the best of them. Those three were unbelievable. Singapore was so It was so neat and so fun. And then Paris was just on a whole other level, man. I'm happy for everybody that's in the Ares tour that's performing from the dancers to the band, and obviously, Taylor, that it just looks like they're having so much fun out there, and they're absolutely killing it. And they're putting on a show that you won't get anywhere else.

[00:59:06]

Well, you got caught pulling an Ed Kelsi move here, taking a video with your flash on. What are you doing, Trav? You're supposed to be better than this.

[00:59:14]

I was doing what?

[00:59:15]

You know, the settings on the camera, if it's dark, it's going to automatically put the flash on.

[00:59:24]

I don't understand what's the... I was just trying to get some good video, some good memories. I don't give a damn.

[00:59:30]

Probably got a great video. That flash makes a big difference.

[00:59:32]

Yeah, it was the best. A thousand feet. Did I get clowned for that? Sorry.

[00:59:36]

You were also seeing Dapping up a fan of yours wearing your jersey.

[00:59:41]

Yeah, saw him at the Louis Vuitton store out there in Paris. Oh, really? Yeah. They had a green New Heights hat on, as well as a Chief's '89 Jersey, the '89 being significant to 1989.

[00:59:56]

Dude, that's a super fan. That's a 92% right there. I love it. 90 % are Swift or Chief. What is the-Three and one. He's got a lot of fendoms in there. What else did you do in Paris? So you went to Louis Vuitton. Did you eat any... Did you go to any cafés? Just a little café on the street, sit down, have a croissant?

[01:00:15]

No, I really didn't get to explore Paris too much. We'll do that some other time.

[01:00:22]

Everyone be small.

[01:00:22]

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

[01:00:37]

Jumapel electric.

[01:00:40]

I think that's it, dude. That's not it? My name Is electric? No.

[01:00:46]

I'll have to ask Kyly.

[01:00:47]

That does it for Out of the House, brought to you by Accelerator, active energy drink. Make sure you go get you some and accelerate your life. Moving on to some no dumb questions here. To wrap up this episode with some no dumb questions because there's no such as dumb questions. Just dumb people, unfortunately. No Dumb Questions is brought to you by Smuckers. Smuckers Uncrustible, the best part of the sandwich. That's right. Sure is. From user Rambi-O-Rose, 36.

[01:01:17]

Rambles on Rosa.

[01:01:19]

There you go. One of the Utah NHL team name choice is the Yeti. How do you guys feel about the list of names, and what would you like the new NHL team name to be called. So, yeah, Utah is getting an NHL team, if you guys didn't know this. And one of their team choice names is the Yetis, which is pretty fucking cool. I think it's a great mascot. I think it is a great name for Utah, knowing that they're up in the mountains over there. And they probably had a few Yeti sightings here and there.

[01:01:54]

No doubt. Sam Squanches? Definitely.

[01:01:57]

The NHL is letting fans vote on Utah team name. Utah Eddie is an option.

[01:02:03]

Utah Yeti? The one thing I don't like about it is that it's not plural. When I think of animal names, they're always plural names. I've never heard of an animal singular name. I can't think of one-off the top of my head. It should be like the Yetis, right? Or are they doing it like octupi, where Yeti is a plural form of yet.

[01:02:26]

Cacti. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. It's a good point.

[01:02:30]

I think it should be the Utah Yetis, if they're going for it.

[01:02:34]

I do love the Yetis, or the Getty, the Utah Yeti. It's great. You're right, though. It does sound like it needs an S. It needs to be Yetis.

[01:02:42]

It's wrong. It's Utah Yetis. It's not the Chicago bear. It's not the Philadelphia eagle. It needs to be the Utah Yetis.

[01:02:53]

What's the other word for a Yeti?

[01:02:57]

The-sasquatch.

[01:02:58]

The Utah Sasquatch.

[01:03:00]

Abominable Snowman. Abominable Snowman.

[01:03:03]

You can do that. Abominable Snowman. That's a long-ass fucking name.

[01:03:06]

There's Sasquatch, Abominable Snowman, Yeti. There's also another one that's specific to-A certain region? Yeah. Oh, my gosh. What's it called?

[01:03:16]

I don't know. The options to choose from are the Frost, the Utah Ice, Utah Powder, the Utah Mounteneers. Don't love it. The Utah Freeze. Powder is a week.

[01:03:29]

I like Mounteneers. Powder's Week. Powder reminds me of that. What was that movie with the really pasty white guy?

[01:03:37]

It's called Powder. That was a terrifying movie. It has a place in my mind that I don't love.

[01:03:42]

Yeah, you can't forget it.

[01:03:43]

Fuck, William. Black diamonds, the Utah Black Dimons. Don't love that. The Utah Blast, the Utah Caribou, the Utah Blizzard, Swarm, the Utah Swarm, the Utah Hive, Outlaws, Yeti, the Squale. Squall? Squal, the Furie, the Glaciers, Canyons, the Utah Canyons. It's got a a ring to it. It doesn't strike fear in anybody, though. The Utah Venom, why would it be that? And H-C, which stands for Hockey Club. That is so whack.

[01:04:19]

Get that weak shit out of here. Don't start doing this bullshit. Don't do this. Fc stuff in Hockey.

[01:04:24]

Don't do that. I'm out on that.

[01:04:25]

I'm out on that, too. Hockey has got some of the best mascots and Jersey designs out there. Don't start bringing this.

[01:04:31]

Not just some of the best, the best. Yeah. Literally the best. Who are you going with? Out of these, who are you going with? I like one specific.

[01:04:40]

Well, first of all, I love the Utah Yetties. I think that's a great name.

[01:04:44]

The God damn, it's a good ring.

[01:04:47]

It's really good.

[01:04:48]

I think it's a little childish for a hockey team. I like the Utah Outlaws.

[01:04:54]

Outlaws? I don't like it because I don't know that has anything to do with Utah. I guess it does because it's part of the West. But I don't think of Outlaws when I think of Utah. I think of Mormons. I think of the opposite of Outlaws. I think about pretty much the most law-abiding citizens on the planet when I think of Utah.

[01:05:09]

You must not know.

[01:05:10]

Yeah, I must not know. The Outlaws, right next to all those jazz players in Utah. I dig Utah Frost or Utah Ice. I see what they're going for with those.

[01:05:27]

It's just so simple, though. It's just so simple.

[01:05:30]

Blizzard is pretty good. Squal is too weak. It can't be a winter squal. Glaciers, Utah Glaciers. Glacier National Park, I think, is partly in Utah and Montana.

[01:05:42]

What do you think of the mammoths? The Utah mammoths?

[01:05:45]

I mean, I dig it.

[01:05:46]

It's too hard to put a S on the end of a T-H, though. Mammoths.

[01:05:50]

The Utah mammoths. It feels weird when these are all singular. When I think of an animal, it needs to be plural. I don't know why. It It doesn't fit in my brain being a singular animal.

[01:06:02]

Utah, I think you guys just got to keep digging. I don't love any of these. I'm on board with Yeti and Outlaws.

[01:06:11]

I'm on board with Yetis. I'm on board with the Utah How about we combine two? The Utah Ice Outlaws. Now we got... I can get behind that now.

[01:06:26]

And that does it for No Dumb Question. It's brought to you by Smuckers Uncrustible. Good luck to you, Utah Hockey fans. Your new team is who knows what it's going to be called, but I know it's pretty exciting getting a pro sports team added to the city. So have fun with that, guys. No Dumb Questions brought to you by Smuckers Uncrustible. It's the best part of the sandwich. Shout out to Uncrustables.

[01:06:48]

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

[01:07:39]

That does it.

[01:07:39]

Can't wait to see you guys, some missions. I want to create some shirts off of these guys. We have all the shirts about athletes. We got the Jason Kelsi, Travis Kelsi, NBA Jam shirt. I think it'd be funny to have... I think it'd be cool to have a fireman Dan with his stats listed underneath them. I'd rock that shirt.

[01:07:57]

I'm so in on that. I'm so in on that. That's so dope.

[01:08:01]

I think that'd be dope. Submit your underdogs, and we look forward to seeing who's taking their community to New Heights. That's a wrap on this show, though. It's over. That's right.

Thanks to our production crew. We're going to need you for this one. And to the 92 percenters, adios amigos. Wait, what the hell was that?

[01:08:45]

Did you just see that? I saw that, too.

[01:08:46]

It's balloons. Oh, look, that's so nice. It's a little feature.

[01:08:50]

When you do peace signs, it just sends them up.

[01:08:52]

Yeah, that's sweet. I just want to keep doing it. Thanks, guys. 92 centers. 92 percenters.Is.

[01:08:58]

That being recorded?Thanks.

[01:09:00]

To our 92 percenters. We'll see you guys next week. Hopefully, these balloons keep showing up.

[01:09:06]

Peace. See you guys. All right, I'm going to try something else. I'm not going to put it on a trash can.

[01:09:26]

Whatever you got to do, Jason.

[01:09:28]

God damn it. Whatever I got to do to give the 92% as this podcast. Oh, this is gross.

[01:09:33]

This is gross? It was like somebody's lunch in there. Fascinating. This is a wild Jason Kelsi. A Jason Kelsi in the Wild. This is like Nat Geo right here.

[01:09:43]

Okay, I think I figured it out. I think I've got it.

[01:09:45]

Yeah, we bet.
