Did you look at your Spotify? >> I don't know how to do it. Where is it. at? >> You go to Spotify and I'm pretty sure it. just. >> Oh, it's time for your 2025 rap. >> 13,38 minutes. 254 genres. >> That's a lot of genre. That's That's way. more than a lot of people for sure. >> My top genre is dooop. >> It's going to tell you your average age. >> Age. Don't take this personally. Oh my. god. >> What is it? >> That's [laughter] embarrassing. >> What is it? 83.

>> 83. Nice. That's pretty good. [music]. >> Welcome back to New Heights, ladies and. gentlemen, boys and girls of Wry Show, brought to you by Yeti. And that's not. me. We're talking about. >> the Yeti coolers, the Yeti drinks, the. Yeti everything. >> Oo, that new height screen. >> Ooh, how about it? I love that. We're. your hosts. I'm Travis Kelsey. This is. my big brother Jason Kelsey out of. Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Shout out to. the Heights and shout out to the. Cincinnati Bearcats headed to the. Liberty Bowl.

>> versus uh the Naval Academy. >> Good oldfashioned Liberty Bowl. Birmingham, Alabama. Is it still in. Birmingham, Alabama? >> I don't think so. It was. >> No, it moved. >> The Liberty Bowl for me was in Memphis, Tennessee. >> No, that was the Belk Bowl. >> That was in Charlotte. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> So, the Liberty Bowl moved to Memphis. It was at UAB Stadium in Birmingham, Alabama, and I played in it. >> There you go. >> Right. Or am I thinking of a different. bowl? I think you're thinking of Papa. John's bowl. >> I am thinking of the Papa John's.com. bowl. All right. Sorry, Liberty Bowl.

>> Let's go Cats, baby. Finish this year. off right. Uh, subscribe on YouTube. Plus, wherever you get your podcast and. follow the show on all social media at. New Heights Show with one s for fun. clips throughout the week. Jason, please. This is where you tell everyone. what we're going to talk about. >> Well, 92enters, we've got a incredibly. depressing football portion of this. great episode. We're going to recap the. Chief Sex game as well as the loss of. the Eagles in overtime to the Chargers, but we will get into a lot more NFL. discussions that will hopefully be more.

joyous. We're going to get into all that. in a minute. But first, we're always. going to start with a little bit of that. new news. New news is brought to you by. American Express. >> Biggest piece of new news is Travis has. been the Chiefs nominee for Walter. Payton Man of the Year. This is your. third. nominate. How many times you've been. nominated? Four. >> Three or four. Three or four. Yeah. >> In particular, you're nominated for your. work with Operation Breakthrough. Uh for. those of you who are unfamiliar with. Walter Payton Man of the Year, it's kind.

of all-encompassing. It's turned into. one of the greatest honors you can. receive in the NFL. Uh, a lot of it. comes down to charitable work and. community work, but it also comes down. to how you are as a player and uh, what. you the values and everything that you. um, kind of exude as an NFL player to. your teammates and city and you know, it's named after the late great Walter. Payeyton. His family is still involved. uh, in giving out this award. Um, so it.

is a incredible honor to be nominated. for it. Trav, what are your thoughts? Obviously, you've been nominated before. >> Yeah. Um I mean, I was nominated last. year. Maybe not the year before that, but a year or two prior to that one. Obviously, you don't do the work and. you're not who you are to the community. and to the teams. >> for award the the award. You know, you're not doing this in hopes that you. one day could be it. So, it's I just do. it because I love seeing these kids have. something that they wouldn't have. otherwise. I love doing it to support,

you know, what Operation Breakthrough. means to this community. And I love. doing things uh with my foundational. team because my foundation team is. amazing and they find ways to to give. back to the community and uh they find. events that bring the community closer. together and it's just an honor and it's. obviously representing a whole lot more. people than just myself. Uh I think the. Chief's community outreach is second to. absolutely none. Um, and that shows in. how many Walter Peyton man of the years. we've had in Kansas City and the.

tradition that uh that Lamar Hunt um. embedded in this organization back in. the 60s and 70s of how, you know, he was. going to make sure that the the fans. that are showing up and the the. community that's showing up is going to, you know, see us give back to them uh. for how much they show up for us on. Sundays, man. and um it's just an. absolute honor to to represent this. organization, to represent my. foundation, and even more so to. represent Operation Breakthrough and and. all the kids and all the amazing things. that they're doing over there. >> Well, congratulations, Trav. I mean,

listen, I think you do so much for that. community in Kansas City and really, I. mean, Philadelphia community. You've. been involved with the Eagles Autism. Challenge. You do so much surrounding. the NFL and the landscape and supporting. the fans and uh different communities. that the teams are in. So, back in. Cleveland, um. >> Oh, yeah. Couldn't happen to a more. deserving guy. Well done. >> Thank you, man. And uh thank you to all. the 92enters who shared their uh Spotify. wrapped because uh we were the number. one sports podcast on uh on Spotify um.

of the 2025 year. Obviously, a lot of. familiar faces podcasts up here. Yep. Absolutely. >> Boston with the Boys made the list. We. got our guy Pat McAfee. >> Pat McAfee, part of my take. >> Bunch of friends on there that uh that. are all welldeserving of it. But um. thank you guys for uh posting all that. and tuning in week in week out. We also. heard from a bunch of 92 percenters who. got their YouTube recap but wanted to uh. specifically shout out Rachel who was in. our top.1%.

of viewers. >> That's pretty crazy. Rachel said uh safe. to say I look forward to Wednesdays. [laughter]. as she posted a picture of her literally. being uh top.1%. of viewers. >> That's awesome. Shout out to Rachel. Well done. It was awesome seeing a bunch. of people posting, you know, where. they're at in the percentages and how. many minutes. I don't know if that was. on YouTube or if that was a Spotify. thing, but the end of the year recaps. >> Did you look at your Spotify? >> I don't know how to do it. Where is it. at? >> You go to Spotify and I'm pretty sure it.

just. >> free free Spotify ad. >> It's fine with it. I'm cool with it. Is. it in Where's it at? >> It should be in home. >> Oh, it's time for your 2025 wrapped. All right, we're ready for G for you. Swipe up. You listened 13,38 minutes. 254 genres. >> That's a lot of genre. That's That's way. more than a lot of people for sure. >> My top genre is dooop. >> Oh, you're see me and you are What was.

your It's going to tell you your average. age. >> Oo. So dooop is more because that's I. sing a lot of dooop songs to Finny. For. some reason, she stops crying when I. sing like Fleetwoods and some of the. like doo-op music from back in the day. >> Okay. >> Then obviously I'm always been an outlaw. country guy. >> Synth pop. Big synth pop. Children's. music. Yep. This is all adding up. Beach. music. All right. Here we go. Age. Don't. take this personally. >> Oh my god. >> What [laughter] is it? >> That's embarrassing.

Well, it's always fun to see uh. [laughter]. what your average age is compared to. your Spotify and the songs you're. listening to. >> That wraps up new news brought to you by. American Express. Let's get to some fan. mentions. We got a fun uh basket weave. mention from EW7354.

The official way to hold gargers. Ah, the old double hand. >> All right, I just want to be clear. That's not That's not a basket weaving. style technique, right? The basket. weaving's hand over hand. Or is that. basket weaving? >> I didn't write basket weave in here. [laughter]. >> Have you ever held a beer by two hands? I don't think I've ever done that. >> Not crossed like that. >> I kind of want to try it. Ball security. Beer security. >> Beer security. What a That sounds like a. TV show. By the way, I do want to point.

out outside of the Doo [ __ ] album because. I play that every night when I'm singing. to Finny. >> Mhm. >> Second album, >> Tase. >> You know it. >> That was number one for me. >> Um. I don't have any. >> kids. You're singing to see. >> I can't sing Tay songs. I'm not. [laughter]. >> Dad. You're really off pitch here. [laughter]. >> You can sing along. Yeah, you can sing. along. They're catchy. They are. All.

righty. Both topics to wrap up week 14. Let's start with Sunday Night Football. Chiefs 10, Texans 20. Trev, I'll let you. take it away, brother. >> Yeah, man. It's uh it's been a tough. [ __ ] go around for the past two days. Yeah, it's just you put in all this. [ __ ] work in hopes that it pays off. and right now it just for whatever. [ __ ] reason, man, it's little things. It's I don't know, discipline. And I. feel like I've always had the answers in. years past and this year it just I just.

can't find them. And I keep thinking if. I show up to work and I put in the work. and I fix the issues uh through my. practice habits and through uh through. perfecting the game plan and my. fundamentals and what I'm being taught. and go out there and try and play my ass. off for my guys next to me. It's it's. all going to come together like it has. in years past and this year is just not, man. Um, not to say that I won't keep. doing that. It's all that I can do. It's. all that I I'm going to always show up.

to work and [ __ ] give it my all. And. if there's a game to be played, I'm. going to [ __ ] make it the most. important game of the world. >> Yeah. >> Um, but obviously looking at the. the playoffs, this is a tough reality to. be in. Um, especially with um I don't. know, just how how we've always found a. way in years past. So, it's uh it's a. shitty [ __ ] feeling, especially. dropping the [ __ ] ball late in the. game like that when we were on our last. [ __ ] chance to make something shake.

>> It's a shitty feeling, man. >> I hear you. >> Uh you put in all this work to, you. know, be there for your guys and I just. I just wasn't that I wasn't. >> I got to point out I think that that. catch would have been pretty damn. impressive catch. That was a tough one. to I mean, you're running all the way. over here and you're trying to reach. back. I know you always hold yourself to. a high standard, but that would have. been a tough catch. I'll say this again, it's another game that was right there, right? Like, and we knew going into it. the Texans had a great defense. We knew. Chiefs had a great defense and it was.

going to come down to the team that made. the fewest mistakes. And at the end of. the day with the drop passes and things. at the end of the game, even throughout. the game, there were multiple times. where you guys had the opportunities. And it just like. it's just been a very weird year for the. Chiefs. And you guys have been in I mean. what is it seven straight? This was the. first time in what nine seasons you guys. aren't going to win the AFC West or. whatever it is since 2015. You know I. think sometimes the ball just doesn't. fall your way and you guys have had the.

epitome of that this year. Yeah. I don't. know. I know it's frustrating. I know. that you know it's the competitor you. are and you know how badly you want it, how badly Pat wants it. the work you. guys put in. So, I feel for you for. sure. Um, and I know that that game in. particular was a frustrating one because. of what it meant, but. >> it's frustrating. But, um, we got four. games left and uh, go put my [ __ ]. heart on the line for these guys because. they deserve that. Chiefs Kingdom, you.

guys deserve that. And we're going to. keep this thing [ __ ] rolling, man. >> What is the mindset? You guys just one. game at a time. Just got the Chargers. this week. >> Just Yeah. I mean, obviously, we we. don't necessarily control our own. destiny at this point. Like I said, we. need some things to happen outside of us. winning all our games. Um, so that's all. you can do, man. You got the Chargers. coming in and you just get after them. >> I just feel like if you guys get the 10. and seven this year in the AFC that. that'll sneak in at a wild card. But one.

game at a time. >> Yep. >> Four games left. Yeah. What do the. Chiefs have to get fixed the most? What. What are you guys most focused on? critical situations towards the end of. the game showing up. I mean, obviously. drop passes, drop passes drops are the. things that stood out to me watching it. >> Miss blocks and key situations that. could, you know, spark big runs, um, spark big plays and, uh, scoring. touchdowns. You got to score touchdowns. in this league, man. And, um, field. goals aren't going to aren't going to. cut it. I think it's just details on, uh, on all phases. Um, even though I.

thought our our defense [ __ ] showed. up and played a hell of a game against. the the Texans this week. >> Chris Jones, my god, >> he was showing his heart, man. That's. for sure. >> Spags was dialing up all these blitzes. I mean, it was it was a fun game to. watch from the defense for sure. They. were they were doing everything they. could. >> And shout out to the Texans, man. They. made plays when they needed to. >> They got good players over there. I. mean, that defense is freaking it's the. best in the NFL right now. And Demo. Ryan, >> it's kind of dude, every single person. on that staff I played with in Philly. It's kind of amazing considering how.

they all have like and not a lot of them. weren't even there together. Like Demo. is the head coach, Matt Burk's the DC, Cory Unland's in the back field. Billy. Davis, who was the DC when Chip was. here, is the linebacker's coach. I mean, it's when whenever I'm at a Houston, I'm. like, "God dang, this is like former. Philadelphia right here." But, uh, yeah, they're rolling on defense, man. Those. guys are doing a great job coaching. those guys up and they have great. players. I do got to shout out Esapo. Played good, man. The biggest thing I. was worried about was the offensive.

line. And he [clears throat] played. against who I think is one of the best. players in the NFL and has been for a. while, the Neil Hunter. And he he held. his own. More than held his own. >> No, he came in he came in and and and. yeah, I was extremely proud of him. Happy as hell for him. Uh when I tell. you, man, you want to talk about a guy. that was just [ __ ] happy to play. ball, man. >> Yeah. out there, high energy, no matter. what the situation was, seemed like he. was ready to [ __ ] get after it. >> That's awesome.

>> A guy like that who's just kind of. itching at the bit to be able to get out. there and show show the world what he's. got, man. The big athletic guy, man. And. um happy as hell for him. Just wish we. could have got the win for him. We got. the Chargers this week, obviously coming. off a a win against the Eagles that. we're about to get into, man. Um a team. we know, a team that knows us, uh and. they're rolling, too. Harball's got them. playing their best [ __ ] ball and um. Herbert's playing lights out and uh. yeah, we're gonna have our hands full, man. Let's go ahead and get to this.

Eagles Chargers game though on a little. Monday night out there in Los Angeles. Jason, do you uh you kind of summed up. the game by tweeting FML if you want to. tell everybody why you tweeted that. >> Uh it was just frustrating game to watch. uh as an Eagles fan. you know, we just. like continually kept kicking ourselves. in the foot. And I mean, it was, you. know, turnovers, you know, penalty down. low takes us out of off the two- yard. line. I mean, it was just one thing. after the other. Uh, very frustrating.

game. It felt like there was more to be. had. It did feel like we were starting. to click. And then every second we got. into the red zone, turnover. Every. single time we got a chance to uh to get. a touchdown, we get knocked back and. kick a field goal. We'd miss a few we. missed a field goal. I mean, it's just. like not too much different than the. Chiefs game. And it's like, man, we had. our opportunities more than our. opportunities. And we did a lot of good, really good things in the game against a. really good team against really good. defense. Like the Chargers defense is.

one of the better units in the NFL. statistically and like personnel-wise. One of my favorite defensive players in. the league. And Derwin James over there. Uh, love watching that guy every chance. I get to see him play. So yeah, just a. really frustrating game and it ended in. a very frustrating fashion where we're. putting together a great drive, playing. outstanding ball in overtime, driving. the length of the field, and then uh the. interception to lose just felt it was. just a gut-wrenching way to to end that. one. And you know, we needed to get some.

momentum back and unfortunately a very. sloppy game. um again leaves the Eagles in another. week of frustration. And listen, if we. take care of business, uh, and don't. have these mistakes, it's it's going in. a different direction and we're we're. rolling. So, it was a frustrating. frustrating game. >> You mentioned that last turnover that uh. that kind of sealed it. Um, but eight. combined turnovers,

>> dude, it was nuts. The ball was in. quarter alone. >> I don't even know like like what. >> it's insane. There's a few bucks. on the. one play. Obviously, the interception. from Jaylen, they pick it up. We force a. fumble. Jaylen recovers it. And then, while he's still trying to get control. of that thing, he fumbles it. It was. just a comedy of turn turnovers all game. long. >> There were there were a lot of what the. [ __ ] plays. And uh Herz actually became. the first player since 1978 with two. turnovers on the same play, which tells.

you how rare that [ __ ] is when it. happens. Um but six in the second. quarter alone is [ __ ] ridiculous. >> Yeah, it was it was a horrendous game of. ball security, which is not Listen, Jaylen, I know the last couple weeks. have been rough for him. This is one of. the things he's done well his whole. career is taking care of the football. And. >> yeah, >> it's uh unfortunately been two out of I. guess character or not uh common um.

games from from him and from our team. that have really cost us. I mean we this. offense has been so stagnant in like the. three and outs and it's like struggled. to get anything going the last couple. weeks. You know this team and the is. well the defense is great. The defense. was phenomenal in this game outside of. the Bears game and maybe one other one. against the Giants. They've been great. all season. Offensively, they they're. looking for what who they are. It looks. like they're looking for that identity, right? And there's so many good pieces.

and you know, they all these plays are. are great individual plays for this guy, this guy, this guy, and this guy. And. it's just, you know, what who are we and. what are we going to be about? And. throughout Jaylen's tenure, and I think. what lends itself to the best for this. team is, man, we got to we got to attack. the line of scrimmage with one of the. best running backs in the game and just. repeatedly stick to that and then take. our shots down the field. It doesn't. need to be this like kind of crazy. outlandish thing. And I know everybody's.

talking about the scheme and whatnot. There were plays in this game to be had. There were opportunities. Guys were. open. Yeah. >> Um I I thought that quite frankly we had. a really good game offensively. >> Yeah. I thought you guys did the. turnovers are crazy. Yeah. And. >> I think that there's some positive. things moving forward. First of all, the. defense is still playing out of their. mind. But listen, if that run game can. keep going like that, you know, you got. stretch working. You can do a lot of. things off a stretch. You got you got. split zone uh attacking the line of.

scrimmage. I know everybody talks about. under center versus gun. I really just. think about it like ju just build a. wall, get running off the ball and make. those guys stop that. In order to stop. that, you got to you got to commit to. the line of scrimmage and then that. opens things behind him and you know. they're they're a good team as well. Jesse Miner did some things that threw. us off on plays here and there that's. going to happen. Yeah, >> I thought it was a overall there's a lot. of positive to take away from the game. in a game that looks really negative.

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

yeah, >> I hear you, Coach Kales. Um, does. getting Lane Johnson back uh soon help? Yes, of course it does. [laughter] Why? That's Why is that even a question? Uh, hopefully you guys can get him back and. hopefully uh Land is not too banged up. Uh, then he can he can keep uh keep. things rolling. I know he got a little. banged up and came out uh for a quick. second. >> Yeah, they had a calf injury. I think. that's what it was said, but he came. back in late, I think. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Um maybe just keep it moving. A. positivity rabbit. So, is it this has.

been a thing with the offensive line for. a while now? >> No, this is the first time it showed up. I don't even I thought it was Landon cuz. it feels like Landon sense of humor. Landon said it wasn't him. I have no. idea where this [ __ ] rabbit came. from. >> There you go. It showed up today and the. offensive lineman uh stressed to me that. they are not sad. They just wanted good. vibes Bunny. This is from Ashley. Sullivan. I would assume a reporter out. there in the Philly area. At the end of. the week, this positivity rabbit showed. up in the locker room and obviously this. is kind of like somebody trying to.

it's a lot of negativity in Philadelphia. for and before the game for an 8 and4. team that's first in their division and. certainly looking like they're going to. be in the playoffs. I think the team was. trying to make a statement like, "Hey, we're we're all in on this together. We. feel like we're still the real deal.". >> Yeah. If. >> I'm being honest, I don't really like. the rabbit. I think it's kind of like. it's a little hokey. But listen, if they. like it, who the [ __ ] I don't really. give a [ __ ] that much, but you got to go.

back it up. You go out there and you. turn the ball over a bunch and largely. you're the reason that you lose the. game. Rabbit's got to [ __ ] eat. carrots. Get the [ __ ] out of here, rabbit. >> Get the antics out [laughter] of here. I. hear you. >> Bad vi the didn't didn't work. What did. they say about it? Say so it showed up. today and the offensive line stressed to. me they are not sad. They just wanted. good vibes bunny. So, you're asking. Brandon, should they ditch the rabbit or. double down with more rabbits? >> Just put more rabbits in. What do you. Which way do you go with this? You're. saying get rid of it?

>> I think they tried it. It didn't work. You got to ditch the rabbit. I mean, the. whole thing's got to go. >> It's got to go. Yeah, I kind of agree. with that. >> Or do you double down? >> Do you do you do you put different. holiday mascots in there? Do you get a. leprechaun? Do you get. >> I mean, the more rabbits is funny. I. don't know how much you want to joke. around about just. >> at this point [ __ ]. >> a season going the wrong direction right. now. But. >> yeah, if I'm losing, not winning, we got. to get rid of that [ __ ]. >> That's my I honestly, if I'm being very.

brutally honest, I thought it was a. surprise to see the rabbit cuz I'm like. it's a sign of just like too much like. joking around with something that I. think is like actually like you should. be really [ __ ] pissed off at the way. you're playing. And. >> it's okay to be positive, but like, you. know, this is something you do when. everything's rolling and you're freaking. performing well. You don't do antics. like this when you've [ __ ] the bed for. the last couple weeks. >> Yeah, I hear you. Well, we got a uh. Monsters Funday football uh do we have.

is this a Jason Kelsey Monsters Inc.? >> It is. >> This is pretty cool. The So, ESPN does. this all cast. There's a at least the. second year they did it. Last year they. did it as Simpsons characters, but they. use. >> somehow they do it with like AI or some. an animation program or whatever, but it. mimics the game happening. I think. Danoski and Mina Kimes and uh I forget. who else is on the call. Maybe Jeremy. Fowler, I don't know. But there's a. whole another like broadcast happening.

>> and uh they do it they did it this year. in the Monsters Inc. style and uh Swag. and I did the pregame show for it. >> Nice. And we were monsters for the. pregame show of the allcast. And I mean, I just love the beard. >> That's great. [laughter]. >> And then look at the eyebrows. They made. sure not to. >> thick as [ __ ] You already know. >> that's not Jason Kely unless you throw. some thick ass eyebrows on there. >> Dude, this would be fun to just wear. this as my outfit though. Just get like. a.

[laughter]. >> You're insane. That's pretty good, though. The Eagles got the Raiders at. home next week, though. >> They do. I know the Raiders uh had a. rough season this year. Obviously, they've already fired Chip Kelly, offensive coordinator. Um hasn't gone. their way, but it's still the NFL, man. Any any team can win any any given. Sunday. And the Eagles need to get some. momentum going. They have to go out. there and perform. >> Yeah. >> I really feel strongly they need to. figure out what the identity is that. they want to do. And I think they were. closer to doing that this last week. I.

think when something's working, I would. love to see them just continue to to. press that. You know what I mean? It. feels like a lot of times they they they. they do something that works and then. they're on to the next thing that they. want to they went into the game wanting. to to do. It's like, hold on. Hey, if. we're doing this really good, if if. Saquon's rolling with these types of. plays, make them defend that. If they. can't show that they can defend that, bro, keep taking it. Some of the spread. things are interesting. I thought they. they adjusted well with empty where uh.

you know when they do those like zero. they know you're in fiveman protection. so they just read the guards make you. hot and then you got to get rid of the. ball. If you want to live in empty. you need to move the back around a lot. Put the back in the back field. Motion. them out. Put the back in the back. field. Motion him out. Bring him back. in. Jet a tight end across a formation. Act like the tight end's jetting and. then he stops. And then you do like a. six-man protection with the tight. You. got to at least mess with the numbers so. it's not predictable every time you line.

up and empty. It's going to be fiveman. protection. Otherwise, they're just. going to sit flatfooted, make you hot, and rally to the ball. You But that's a. whole another [ __ ] thing. Big game. this week. Uh, obviously Raiders in the. link. They need to go out and put. forward a good game. I don't care what. the Raiders record is at this point. The. Eagles need to show that they can be a. consistent, good football team. Limit. the penalties, run the ball well, control the line of scrimmage, and take.

your shots when they're there. It It. doesn't need to be this air raid. high-scoring attack with the way this. defense is playing. Grind it out. Eventually, it the run game gets going. the more and more that you pound it on. these guys. It really sucks with how. good the defense played this last week. that we weren't able to get a victory. for them. And really with how they. played the whole season, we can be this. type of offense. I really believe that. >> I hear you. They got just got to put it. all together, man. >> There we go. >> It's the name of the game, baby. >> All righty. Thanks to our presenting.

All right, now let's get to the rest of. the league. Uh, breaking news. whose. Colts have signed 44year-old Philillip. Rivers. That's right, the old gunslinger.

from the past like three decades. Yeah, he's coming back out, baby. He just got. signed to their practice squad. Uh. hasn't played in the NFL since 2020. um. but is getting uh reunited with Shane. Stiken, >> who was uh the Chargers staff and inter. room uh offensive coordinator in 2019. with Phillip. >> and uh potentially uh first grandfather. to play in the NFL. [laughter]. That's crazy. >> It's nuts.

>> His oldest kid is older than uh their. their star tight end Tyler Warren. Uh. which is pretty uh it's pretty. staggering. fact right there. >> Yep. also older than his head coach. Stiken. That's right. He's uh and his. offensive coordinator again. Philip is. 44. >> Yeah. And and Jim Bob is 41. Uh and. Shane is 40. He is also older than 12. current NFL head coaches. >> Listen. >> And I bet you he can still go out there. and sling it. Got it, man.

>> He's a semi semiinalist for the Hall of. Fame this year because he's eligible to. go in the Hall of Fame. That's how long. he's been out of the NFL. >> Damn. It is 20 or 25. Damn. >> So, it's a 5-year removed guy at 44 who. is a grandfather coming out of. retirement to join an NFL team. Sounds. absolutely [ __ ] bonkers. But I want to see it. I AS A FAN, I. CANNOT wait to watch a grandpa go out. there and sling this [ __ ] thing. I. hope he is starting this week. I I I.

want to see it so bad. >> What does this do for his like Hall of. Fame? Does it now? It's another five. year five. It resets it. >> Yep. >> Wow. >> I know from my from Shane's time in. Philadelphia. >> He's a glove to get in. There's I mean. there's no question he's in. >> Statistic. The only thing he doesn't. have is a Super Bowl, but statistically. and the competitor he was and how he. played the game, that's not even a. question. >> 100%. An icon. Shane Stiken from when he. was in Philadelphia, Frank Reich, uh.

Nick Serriani, knowing all these people. that were with Phillip at some point in. his career. I don't know that I've ever. heard of another of coaches speak higher. of another player. They look up to this. guy like he is in a realm of his own. Not just as a player, like mentally, the. way he operates, the way he puts the. team in positions. I've just heard. nothing but like the most incredible. things about him as a teammate and. player. Yeah, >> I want to see it happen. I mean, I'm. just hoping he it holds up if he can.

stay healthy. >> This is like Bert Reynolds coming out in. the longest yard. >> What How old was Brett Favre when he was. like still like trying to hold on to it. like. >> I think 40 40. stopped, was he? >> That's was just hard to imagine. And I. know he's got enough kids that he's not. retired like three times. >> He didn't stop for 5 years. >> Yeah, that's what I'm saying. There. wasn't like a prolonged period where he. was out of it for a long time. >> No, 100%. I think maybe a year was like. the most he sat out. >> It's hard to imagine a guy that hasn't. played football in 5 years is 44 is.

still going to be able to physically do. it. But I'm not doubting Philip Rivers. I'm just not going to do it. I know. >> run at the in a run in the playoffs if. they make it. >> Give a man some tour at all. >> I know he's still been active. He's got. like 20 kids including grandkids. >> So he's still running around playing. with them suckers. Yeah. >> So he's he's still been doing something. Oh yeah. I'm pretty sure his son is. actually like one of the biggest. quarterback recruits in the country. Um. and to clarify, Brett never went he.

never stopped playing. He would retire. and then he would play the next year. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Or say that he's Yeah. Whatever he did. >> What was that movie where the guy. retires and becomes a teacher and then. he comes back in and throws the baseball. Kevin Cosner? Is it the rookie? >> I think so. >> That's what this reminds me of. It's. like. >> are you thinking of the Dennis the. Dennis Quaid movie? The rookie. >> Dennis Quaid. >> Yeah. Is it rookie? >> Yes, that is correct. >> It is correct. >> I knew it. >> This has instantly become one of the. most exciting things I can't wait to. potentially see. This got released on.

air on Monday night. >> I mean, it's just it's just practice. squad right now. We don't know if he's. actually. >> You don't add a 44year-old quarterback. to the practice squad without the idea. that this dude's going to play some. football. I am so looking forward to. what this looks like. I hope he freaking. balls out. I really do. >> I hope he go with the the young kid. I. think he's hurt too. They their third. string guy I think is hurt. >> Why would it be practice squad? Just so. that they're trying to make sure he like. is ready to go. He did the workout and.

did the physical. Now it's like, hey, we. got him on the practice squad. We don't. have to cut somebody. Let's see how he. looks in practice. >> Who went in the game then when Jones got. it? I think it was the other kid, but I. think he got hurt, too. >> This whole time we've just been asking. each other questions. We don't know. [laughter]. the guy who went in for Don Jones, uh, Riley Leonard, got injured as well. That's what I thought. Now, they. potentially could be under their fourth. string guy. And that's when you make a. call to grandpa and be, "Hey, grandpa, can you save the day?". >> When you have to rely on the fourth.

string, you go out and get a 44 year. old. [laughter]. >> It's a lot of fores. up. Put them foes up. >> James Winston made his NFL analyst debut. during the buy and it might just be as. electric on TV as he is in the huddle. Let's uh take a look at this video. >> Ever since Liam Cohen has been getting. recommendations on how to pronounce. Duvall the right way. >> He went Duvall. >> Duval. >> How would you how would you PRONOUNCE. IT? JAMIE. >> DUVAL. [screaming].

>> WHAT'S YOUR Broadway one? >> Duval. [laughter]. >> They all the New York got to me. But I. got the Jags. >> You got the Jack. >> Electric. >> I mean that one of the most entertaining. human beings in the world. It doesn't. matter what he's doing. He can literally. just be walking down the street and. talking to civilians about anything. Yeah. >> And it's going to be [ __ ] hilarious. Everything he does with a camera on him. is is [ __ ] pure comedy. And. >> he's a charismatic [ __ ] No. question about it. All righty, let's. wrap some stamps of the week here. Stamp. of the week is brought to you by Amazon.

Amazon. How about it? >> Let's see this six-year-old that. delivers 10 stiff arms clip. Jesus. How big is this kid's head, by the way? >> Oh no. I think his helmet looks bigger. than everybody else's. Oh my god. >> This is why they made weight limits in. the leagues and. >> Yeah. This is why you weren't allowed to. They had to get rid of the weight limits. cuz it was Oh my lord. Like everybody else looks like little. giants. This is Spike. [laughter]. Like there's a real LIFE VERSION OF.

SPIKE. >> THIS kid gets it the worst. He gets it. there and then he's not even up able to. tackle it. >> That's a pro move right there. Don't. even let him get up. >> These aren't even stiff arms. are just. like like mushes that he's just like. throwing them with one arm. Good lord. [laughter]. I'll give the stamp of the week. This is. amazing. I'll go with that one right. there. Hard to think there's going to be. a better clip than that. >> I might just beat it right here. Wyoming. students built a a beer snake uh to.

honor Josh Allen at his jersey. retirement. >> What is a beer snake? >> You've never seen a beer snake? No. >> At a ball game? >> No. It's uh it's when you put all the. cups. Yeah. All the beers that have been. drank. >> and then you just collect them. You see. how long Yeah. >> It's pretty dope. >> It's pretty [ __ ] sweet. It was going. all the way up to the second level. That's [ __ ] epic. >> It's awesome. >> Yeah. That's a lot of [ __ ] beers. consumed and I'm proud of you, Wyoming.

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

I think it's, you know, >> it felt it felt like, you know, I maybe.

>> just need a little more pep in the step. It just needed some more energy. >> It was very cold, Jason. I was very cold. and very tired. Good reason to have more. energy. It heats you up. >> The tailgate was also like a family. event, so it wasn't necessarily the best. place for hip thrust, which is I think. what you were getting at. >> I had to keep it PG. >> Know your surroundings. Know your. >> is not ready for this. They're ready for. draft things. I'm not ready for my hip. thrust. Everybody at the Casey tailgate. was great. So all the night centers that. came up to us, lovely to meet you. Honestly, the Chiefs fans are the best. They're super nice. They're the nicest. people on the planet.

DraftKings, the crown is yours. >> Nailed it. >> Pushmails. No dumb questions. Let's get. to them. >> All right. Do the uh do the forge parent. signatures. >> Hi Jason and Travis. This is Stephanie.

from Minnesota. >> Hey. As we're coming into the holiday. season, I got a text from my teenage. daughter with my forged signature on a. permission form the other day. >> And I'm just calling to ask if either of. you ever forged any of your parents'. signatures on anything school related um. and how that went over with your. parents. I definitely forged my mom's. signature on my band practice sheets in.

high school. So, let me know if you did. any of that. Thanks, >> Trev. I'll let you take this away. because I know you at least have done. some forgeries. [laughter]. >> I've done this on countless. I literally. cannot count how many times I've forged. my parents signature. Um, let's start. off. What was uh well, the one that. stands out to me the most um was. actually kind of one of the coolest. opportunities that I I ever had in in. middle school in my first couple uh or I.

was either in 8th grade or ninth grade. and um the Atlanta Braves were hosting a. showcase in Lakewood, Ohio. And I was. over my friend's house and my friend's. older brother was going to the showcase. because he was out of high school and he. just wanted to like give one last chance. of like getting in front of some scouts. and um they were holding an open trial. but you had to be either 18 or older or. you had to have your parents there. signature signature saying that this is.

my gu I'm the guardian or I'm the parent. of guardian of the kid. >> and I just said [ __ ] it I'm just going. to write Kelsey's name down here. I knew. his number. Just put the house address. down there. And uh sure enough, I went. out there and uh got on the mound and. like was like pumping like mid80s and. they're like, "How old are you?" I'm. like 13, 12, 13. [gasps] And they were. like, "I'm sorry, what? You're kid. You're 6 foot and you're 13 and you're. [laughter] pumping 80.".

And one of the scouts there uh just so. happened to be from Cleveland Heights. His name is Reggie Sanders. And. >> Oh, nice. Yeah. And he uh he pulled me. over. He's like, "Is this is your. parents here?" And I was like, "No, they're not here." And it was like kind. of I'm pretty sure it was illegal for. like them to like talk to a kid. [clears throat] that age. Yeah. Something like that. So, >> um yeah. No, but I got uh got Big Ed on. the on the phone call real quick and uh. got told don't [ __ ] do that ever. again. [laughter].

>> But countless amount of field trips. It's. >> initiative right there. >> Yeah. Also, in middle school, I used to. forge uh Big Ed's signature on uh on the. report cards. >> because the report cards you had to like. >> Yeah. They had to be seen by the parents. and everything. And I'd be like, I'm not. [ __ ] showing dad this. He'd be. >> He's not going to be happy. I'm just. going to. >> He's not going to be happy. Yeah. He'll. just figure out when I'm ineligible. >> Yeah. [laughter]. >> I never forged a signature, I don't. think. But I did try to forge his voice.

>> Oh, yeah. We know this one real well. >> Yeah. That one's already been told on. the podcast, I think. >> That's right. Mrs. uh Clark, our our. good friend Harry Clark's mom, was in. charge of the attendance at Cleveland. Heights High School. St. Patrick's Day, I wanted to go to the parade downtown. and I called the uh Cleveland Heights. High School. >> I don't even know if she was in charge. of attendance. She was just in she was. like she was worked in the office and. when Jason called the office, she was. the one that answered. She's like,

>> "That might have been it." Yeah. Jason, who is this? Travis. >> No. She said. >> I said, "Hey, Mr. Clark, this is Ed. Kelsey. Jason's sick. He's not going to. be able to come into school today." And. she said, "Who is this? This is not Ed. Kelsey, [laughter]. Travis. Is this you?". >> Oh [ __ ]. >> So, yeah, I got a call from dad pretty. quickly after that. >> Too good. >> What's the next one? >> Hi, it's Eva from Allentown, PA. If you. could describe each other's. personalities as any drink, what would.

it be? >> I'll go first. I already know it. >> Mine? >> Yeah. >> Don't [ __ ]. >> You already know where I'm going. Count. of three. >> No, I don't. I don't know where you're. going. >> You know exactly what I'm about to say. >> Probably good advertisements for him. We. both say drink garage beer. One, two, three. Four loco. >> Four loco. [laughter]. H just ENERGY. >> JUST BRINGING THAT JUICE. YEAH. NO, I.

get it. Yeah. I mean, I drink. accelerators with tequila. So, >> it's essentially the same thing. >> What is Jason? If I'm a for loco, you're. like a. you're like a Jagger bomb. >> Oh my god. >> You're a [ __ ] Jagger bomb. >> I just had my first Jagger bomb in a. long time. [laughter]. >> It wasn't even a Jäger bomb. It was just. a shoddy Jagger in Wisconsin. Ah, for some reason they drink it at the. freaking the supper clubs up there. >> As good as you remembered.

>> It's exactly what I remembered. And it's. it's probably one that I probably. hopefully won't have for another week. I'm not a big liquor drinker. Everybody. always wants to buy shots. I'm like, dude, I if I drink this beer, I will not. get to a point that I won't am going to. be upset about. If I drink these shots, this whole thing could go sideways in a. second if I start just doing shots of. people. I'm not I'm not interested. Give. me my garage beer. I'll be happy. All. right, I'll take some shots. >> How often should you wash the towel. after you use a shower? Starts to smell. really. [laughter].

It starts to get crusty and hard, then. it's time to replace it. >> I mean, you're just washing the you're. you're clean, so it's like that being. said, I use a clean towel every time. But I mean, I understand if like. >> you use a clean towel you like you only. use a towel once. >> Yeah. >> Wow. It's very wasteful, Travis. Uses up. a lot of. >> Is it? >> Yeah. >> Using a lot of energy to wash these. towels. also have a lot of towels. [laughter]. I [ __ ] went out and got a [ __ ]. >> Don't you read the disclaimers at the. the hotels if you if you reuse the.

towel, it's better for the environment. I got to say some of these environmental. things I am. >> I'm getting to the point that. >> Give me a hot one. Something something. ruined you earlier. What is it? >> Paper straws. >> Paper straws are so [ __ ] annoying. Don't If I get a paper straw, I'll just. take the lid and the straw off and I'll. just drink the drink. Have you ever. adapted to uh. >> to the metal straw? >> Yeah. >> I don't like the way that feels either. Just give me the [ __ ] plastic straw. I don't.
