Oh yeah. >> So he just plays his way the best. probably of all time. [laughter]. >> Thank you for saying it. As nice as nice. as you can say it right there. >> Just because you're not frontside. outside zone 24/7 like other offenses,

you still do what you're supposed to do. at a high level. So it is what it is. >> I might have to adapt and and and start. changing my ways. My my ways were not. working as well as I wanted to last. year. So always evolving, too. Always. evolving, too. >> Just go back to what you were doing at. Cincinnati and just hitting people. Hey. >> Oh, let's [ __ ] go, man. Let's go, baby. I'm going to have to gain 20 more. pounds. >> I don't know if those AC joints are. holding up to that. [laughter]. >> How How is rehab going, George? I know.

How's everything going? >> Rehab's going great. Um, I am I got uh, you know, like the Alter G treadmills. that are like the anti-gravity stuff. >> Hell yeah. >> So, I I got I love those. >> I'm at 100% body weight uh going at 9. miles an hour jogging. So, I think I'm. ahead of schedule. We just started uh our jumping series. >> doing some, you know, 1080 walks, some. marching stuff. So, we're out. I was in. cleat for the first time yesterday. So, hey, we're back on the field, baby. Yeah. So, I'm pumped. >> [ __ ] yeah. >> We're excited about it. >> [ __ ] yeah, man.

>> All good news. >> Football is just so much better when we. got [ __ ] 85 out there [ __ ] scoring. tutties, man. >> Lots of touchdowns. Let's just do that. both this year, Tra, please. >> Come [laughter] on up. Just lots and. lots of the tight end. What was what. year was it where like it felt like. every tight end on uh national tight end. day had like a reception tight end? Was. it the first one? >> The first one was really good and I. think it was 2023 because that national. tight end day was on my birthday. I had. three touchdowns against the Cowboys or. something like that and it I literally.

saw someone I was in an airport in. Vancouver and I'm sitting there and a. guy walks up and he goes, "Hey, can I. show you this? It's his bet slip from. that national titans day and I scored in. the night game and he put like $500. down. He won like $35,000. >> [ __ ] yes. >> I WAS LIKE, "YES, YES.". >> SO, he bought me He bought me a beer to. repay me. I said, "Thank you.". [laughter]. >> Yeah, we're out. >> That's a taste that's a tasty beverage. right there. >> That's a tasty beverage. >> I was pretty happy.

>> Dude, you uh if you've been rehabbing. your ass off, we all know that. But, um. it hasn't stopped you from getting out. on the golf course. We had some fun out. in Bandon. You've been seen all over the. place with your shirt off on some. courses. What establishment is this. allowed at? >> Cabo. >> Cabo. >> Yes. Well, there you go. Cabo will let. you do what kind of lets you do what you. want to do. The bandon thing was fun. because I was told that as soon as I got. out of surgery, my Achilles, Elatro. walks up to me, the surgeon. My first. question was, "Can I golf at the end of. March? I'm going to Bandon Dunes with.

the boys." And he said, "Yes, absolutely." I was like, "I'm good." I. don't remember asking him that. That's. what Claire told me that I asked that. question. I was like, "That's. fantastic." [laughter]. >> And we did it. Six rounds in four days, boys. >> That was a great time. >> We got pretty lucky. >> Yeah, we got lucky. But George, you were. playing some pretty good golf. >> I had some good golf. I had like a great. round. I shot an 81 on the first day, which was diabolical. And then I was. like I was like high 80s uh most of the. rounds, but the 30 like we did two days.

of 36 holes. And I think those those. crushed the group. Oh, dude. Walking at the rate of the. drinking rate and the walking rate uh. and the swinging rate into the wind. That kind of caught up to us after a few. days. [laughter]. >> We we we I think everybody the last day. was not golfing at a high level. >> Just like woke up like what the [ __ ] are. we doing? >> Some decently early tea times. That was. a great time. >> Where would you go for another good golf. trip? >> I will recommend for sure. I went to.

Ireland last year for the Steelers game. out in Dublin. Steelers, Vikings, and. played a bunch of cores out there. Absolutely. Highly recommend Ireland. I've heard Scotland, all that UK area. Uh I think that that's one that I would. I would love to do personally more. So, >> I'm in. >> There's that. There's that Northeast. though that I think right now like. around the Hamptons while New York is. beautiful. I think there's like five, six, seven courses kind of all within. like a drive. That that can be pretty. fun. I would do that as well. National.

Sabonic Shinik is having the US Open. this year. >> Oh yeah. >> Uh the bridge. Yeah. There's a bunch of. great golf courses up there. >> It's cuz for the most part we're we're. working. >> The best time of the best time to golf. up there is usually. >> either the heart of the offseason where. you're you're trying to enjoy the last. bit of break with everybody or it's when. the season ramps up in August and all. that stuff. So, but there's great golf. up in the Northeast. Yeah. One of these. days. Let's make a trip. Let's make a. trip, boys. You have a new heights golf.

tournament. I'll be there. >> Dude, I don't know why we haven't. thought of that, Trev. >> I think we have actually thought about. that. >> We've talked about it. You wanted to go. straight PGA. [laughter]. >> You wanted to take it to like the most. official golf tournament ever. But. you're right. When uh when the time is. right, that's definitely something we. got to put on the uh the schedule. >> You were not only seen golfing, you were. seen at a Thunder game. >> I was. Absolutely. Oh, and apparently a. lot of people don't know you're from. Oklahoma, so this was a learning. experience for the internet. >> It is. [laughter].

It was. I went to high school in. Oklahoma for three years. So, it's like. I went to I got to see James Harden, Russell Westbrook, KD, Nick Collison, Sergea, like in the prime. And so, I. went to so many games. People like, "Why. are you a Thunder fan?" I'm like, "I. went to a ton of games over the course. of three years and it was fantastic. [laughter]. I got to see Kobe play down there. I got. to see what God. >> I got to see the Spurs and Tim Duncan. down there. It was so sick. So like I. went to so many games. So like I've just. I've been a Thunder fan since like 2010.

My Bay Area fans are not fans of the. fact that I like the Thunder. I get a. lot of crap for that. >> Yeah, there's nothing worse than getting. called out on Twitter or X-Man that. you're a bandwagon guy or that you're. not a loyal fan. I think it's actually. my last tweet ever is uh me trying to. defend my fandom, [laughter] the. Guardians, who I now am a proud owner. of. That's right. >> That's sick. >> I um it it was definitely not my uh most. best uh way to handle a situation, but. you handled it perfectly. [laughter] Can.

you chill? >> Can you just can you just [ __ ] chill? Just just chill out, man. It's not that. big of a deal. >> Were you close to going to Oklahoma or. was it obvious going to Iowa? Was that. ever a contentious thing? >> Oh, I had a preferred walk-on spot in. high school. I was 6'1, 180 pounds. So, not a lot. I don't think that Oklahoma. was looking at at that point. I don't. think I mean I was no slouch. I mean, what are we talking about? >> Well, this was I mean what this was 2012. and I think what Trent Williams just got. done playing at Oklahoma. They were just. all in the BCS championship all the.

time. So, I didn't really fit that. quota, but my dad was a coach there. [laughter]. >> My dad My dad was a coach there. >> It did always seem like Oklahoma back. then had like the biggest [ __ ]. freaking natures that you had ever. >> I was not a I was not a freak. No. >> Oh, who was the [ __ ] tight end, man? Gresham German. sick. >> Oh my [ __ ] god. >> We played him in 200 I think n eight. maybe and it was Phil Lo Holt, Trent. Williams, Gresham. Like the entire line,

six out of five other linemen were. drafted in the NFL that year. So. [laughter] crazy. >> Made no sense. Actually, I was so in in. 2010. I was still It was right before I. transferred Oklahoma. >> Uh my dad went to college with Bob. Stoops. So he would always let us come. down to Oklahoma games. And I got to go. to the El Paso Sun Bowl Oklahoma because. that was the year that they had Sam. Bradford, Trent Williams, Gerald McCoy, but they all got hurt. Oh yeah. >> So he kind of lost some games. It was El. Paso Sunball versus Stanford where they. had Toby Ghart. >> And so I got to watch OU play them.

[groaning]. >> And I was on the sideline hanging out. with Trent Williams and Germaine Gresham. for like the entire game as like a. sophomore in high school. I'll never. forget it. It was one of the first. things I told Trent Williams when we. when we got him in 2020. I was like two. We hung out like 10 years ago. [laughter]. >> He had no idea. No memory. Zero memory. of it. >> Yeah. [clears throat]. [laughter]. >> I have the same [ __ ] I have the same. type of memory with my guy Chad Henny. My high school coach just happened to. know the QB coach up in Michigan. And I. sat in meetings with him and everything. Like it was him. Uh shout out to uh Ryan.

Mallet. RIP Ryan Mallet. Um, but it was. it was those two and like five other QBs. and I'm sitting in there listening to. them basically speak Chinese because it. was a form of an offense that I had. never heard in my life. It was basically. double post to Mario Manningham every. single play. And I told Chad this story. back that back in uh I think 2017. 18 when he uh when he joined us man he. had no [ __ ] He said, "Oh yeah, we used. to we used to try and play catch with.

those dudes and just watch Ryan just. [ __ ] rip 100 mph bullets at their. face.". >> Ryan Mal was at my exos when I was. training for the combine. And so we. would do the uh the gauntlet. >> and he would just stand there, >> huge, but he'd be the last quarterback. and he would throw it as far as he could. at your face and I don't know if anybody. ever got a pass from him. >> I was like, "Dude, can you just make it. a little easier?" He goes, "No, this is. what the league's like." I was like, "All right, man. Sounds good.". >> I didn't know any [laughter] better. >> [ __ ] gauntlet. Oh, dude. I would love to do that. Let me go.

through it as a tight end. I feel like I. could have played tight end in another. era, Travis. No. >> Well, like George said, you know, you. could play tight end your own way and. hopefully a team picks you up. >> What's it? Uh, freaking Washington from. uh Steelers. Just be straight [ __ ]. meatthead blocking. >> I don't know, man. They they they need. to keep incorporating that man down the. scene. He was making some [ __ ] He was. making some [ __ ] plays. >> He had some sick plays last year. There. was a play he like broke like four. tackles and it took three guys to. tackle. I was like, "Oh my [laughter]. god, >> he was on someone else's podcast. He.

said he weighed 320 or something like. that." I was like, "Goodness, we 320. >> He's enormous." Travis, >> he's one of the biggest people I've ever. seen. >> I listen, I get up to like two high 260s. and I'm like, I need to get down. There's no way I can play this position. like that. >> This dude is just rumbling and owning. everybody. >> That was pretty. His highlights were fun. to watch. >> Well, we had you back at OTAAS. We talk. about being in the Ultra G. We also got. you pushing a sled. Looking great. Other.

pictures out of OTAA's. Mike Evans is. now in a San Francisco uniform. How. How's he look to you? How how's Mike. looking? >> Well, we had a red zone period yesterday. and I'm pretty sure he had five. touchdowns. So, that's a highlight. >> Getting some good use out of the big. guy, man. I love it. One thing that I. was talking to pretty about last a. couple days ago was that this is our. first like veteran wide receiver since. we had Emanuel Sanders in 2019. Like I. had dbo at IU, but like they were both. like years one through four. You know, D.

was like year five, but like. >> Mike Evans is a guy like just watching. him and his savviness like he had a you. know, you know, like the concept like. you covers you're in the red zone, one. guy has a core and other guy has like. the the now right underneath it. >> and the way he sets it up versus the guy. with like guy has outside leverage. the. way he sets it up and then just gets. wide open and I'm just like so so fun to. watch. >> Sav. >> Just so savvy. Catches everything. Runs. great routes. Gives great effort. I'm. all in on Mike Evans. >> Also, Harry Potter enthusiast. Loves Harry.

Potter more than anything. >> Really? >> Really? Woody, I was going to say I. haven't gotten to that with him, but he. is a he likes trivia. Like he's read all. the books countless times. And so he. wants you to hit him with trivia that he. doesn't think that he will know. He'll. just walk up to you and he'll just ask. you random trivia question like who was. uh who was the potions master in book. three. I'm like I think it was Snape at. that time. But like that's what he just. does it and he loves it. So that's been. pretty fun too. >> I'm [ __ ] in on that. >> So he he's read books more than once.

[laughter]. >> Yes. >> Damn. >> Some people do do that. Some people do. do that. That's a thing. >> That's a thing that people do. Yeah. If. you find a book you really like, you go. back and read it again. I thought it was just like if you could. get through it and you were finished. like that was the finish line. >> People actually retaining these things. They're actually understanding what. they're and they want to read it again. >> It's a new It's a new It's a new. concept. >> It's a It's a new one. >> It's a new concept. Reading and. retaining. >> People are getting People are getting. smarter. [laughter].

>> Are you ready for all the traveling the. Niners got to do this year, dude? >> Uh yeah. What is it? 40,000 miles. I. can't wait. Just [laughter]. >> Yeah. If you guys are going to log uh. the most travel miles by any. >> you'll be good. You'll be as far away. from the nuclear facility as possible or. whatever that thing is next to the power. plant. >> You just got Hey, look. I did see they. added they add [laughter]. my first day back at OTAAS. They were. actually making the power plant bigger. So, you know, good for us. [laughter]. >> They're making it bigger. You got to. look for the positives and everything,

man. So, Jay, that's a great point. Um, you know, the one thing I look at is. >> the lights will always be on, baby. Let's go. Most of our flights are 4 to 6. hours anyways. So, it's just like I know. the 15 hours is crazy. But besides that, it's like, all right, I'm going to get. on the plane. I'm going to sleep. I'm. going to watch a movie, watch some film. We'll be there at some point. It is what. it is. >> Yeah. Get a dub and on the way back, just have a good old time with the boys. >> Would you rather go out a week early or. go out the day before the game on this. 15 hour flight?

>> I would rather go out the week early on. the 15 hour. >> Yeah. If you're going to if you're going. to make me go 15 hours across the world. to play one game, let me enjoy, you. know, grabbing a bite to eat, hanging. out with the guy. Let me get let me. build some chemistry with these guys if. you're going to. >> So that's that's what I was going to. say. I I I think the sports science guys. look into like the circadian rhythms and. stuff like that. Yes. We went out we. went out to London or whatever and we. stayed multiple days when we were out. there. Like dude, you can't replace. hanging out with the guys. Like it's.

like a it's like a trip where you have. to hang out together. You're going to go. out to eat at dinner. Like it's se it. kind of gets you away from all of the. other regular routine that happens at. home and forces the team to get closer. That's why I think it's better to go out. the weekend. >> I'm with you on that. And then like also. because I know there's something with. like the times I mean your sleep. schedule, all that. So it gives you a. couple days to get back normal to that. And also at after the game I think we. play on a Thursday in in America. So, it's just like, all right, well, we. don't play again until the following.

Sunday. So, we have four days before the. before the next install. So, >> just bite the bullet. Let's go early, get back, sleep for the next three days. >> Let's go early. Stay a few days. >> Yeah. >> Hell yeah. >> Yes. Stay a few days. I'm in. >> Stay a few days for the weekend. Can we. just hang for the weekend here? Actually, >> bring my golf clubs. Who knows? I heard. there's some great golf out there. [laughter]. >> There you go. >> Um, yeah, you guys got Talking about. Australia and then Mexico City. Uh, I. played in Mexico City. Mexi Mex Mexico. City is a fun place to play, dude.

>> We played there in 2022. It was amazing. I had a great time. The crowd's insane, >> dude. Insane. Just non-stop action the. entire game. The entire game is going. [ __ ] nuts. >> We got really lucky cuz we were the road. team and we were playing the Cardinals. and they were the home team, but it was. like 98% Niners fans and then 2% 2%. every other team's fans. And so, like, in warm-ups, the camera guy they would. put on the big screen, like they put up. a video of like Kyler Murray and the.

whole stadium would boo. And then they. would cut to [laughter] then they cut to. like Jimmy G and the whole crowd would. lose their minds. And they'd cut to JJ. Watt, everyone would boo. They'd cut to. me, everybody would cheer. And I was. like, "This is not a home thing for. these guys. That's [laughter] so tough.". >> No. >> So, when the Chargers moved to LA, it. kind of was like LA isn't that fat fan. base. See, they've they've gained some. momentum now, though. They're they're. Their their fans are showing up. But. when we played them when we played them.

down in Mexico City, it was a home game. for them for the Chargers. They they it. was there were some [ __ ] Chargers. fans down there in Mexico City going. nuts. Yeah. So, it was. >> I mean, what they're 20 minutes away. from Tij. >> So, I mean, they got some fans. >> There you go. How pumped are you about. Miles Garrett, dude? Get to play him. twice. Twice a year. >> Awesome. [laughter] Awesome. You know, honestly, my my [ __ ] did they get in? >> My my only message really is like, "Hey, Aaron, you're enjoying retirement, Aaron.

Donald. You're fantastic. [laughter] You. had a great career. You won your Super. Bowl. You're the one of the best. defensive players of all time, man. Just. you're good, man. You're great. >> Yeah. [laughter]. >> Keep working it out. Just keep hanging. out with your family. >> Dude, you could come out of retirement. at any moment, man. both of those guys. on the field. >> The wrong person pokes that bear, man. He's going to [ __ ] be like Michael. Jordan in the 90s. [laughter]. >> Don't do it. Don't do it. I will say. like when we were playing the Rams twice. a year with Aaron Donald, like you get. the Aaron Donald treatment, which is.

like, hey, everything sides to him. You. run runs that avoid, you know, him. You. always have four hands on him. So, I'm. not saying like they're both amazing. players, but you have you just got to do. the same thing with Miles. You just got. to you have a Miles Garrett game plan. >> and you just got to hope that no one. else decides to have the best game of. their life. >> Just got to slow him down, man. Try and. slow that man down. >> Don't let that guy ruin the game cuz he. can. He will ruin the game if you give. him the opportunity. >> Yeah. I mean, like at some point they're. inevitable. And but you just got to hope. that those couple plays aren't strip.

sacks or a forced interception or. something like that. So, >> I'll tell you what though, I'm going to. be turning on that [ __ ] film when uh. when Miles is going up against Trent, dude. That is going to be. prime time action. >> We're going to do a lot of boots. A lot. of boots, a lot of slices, a lot of. chips, a lot of cracks. Getting his. head. >> Lot of stiff blocks is what it's going. to be. >> A LOT OF BLOCKS. [laughter]. >> YEAH. Lot of sift blocks. That's going. to be our best case scenario probably. Just get him off his [laughter] feet.

>> Yeah. Yeah. >> Some guys are just built different, man. We had a joint practice with the Browns. and we're walking around afterwards and. Joel Batonio stops me and he like taps. me. He's like, "Hey." Points over there. and Miles is there with his shirt off. He's like, [laughter] "Can you believe. we're the same species?". >> That's funny as [laughter]. >> Yeah, that's very true, man. That guy is. like the closest to an alien I've ever. seen playing the game of football. Like. the way he bends and moves, it's just.

it's insane. He's unreal. >> Cat like [ __ ] reflexes, man. >> Yeah, he's got the reflexes and then he. can get to the quarterback in three. steps. He's slippery. Yeah, he's a. really good player. So, hey, what a good. challenge. [laughter] Can't wait. >> That's the tight end mentality, man. Let's uh let's get into a little tight. end you, brother. Uh we're taping this. just before uh tight end actually. happens. Shout out to Reese's for making. it happen for us this year and all the. uh supporting uh sponsors. all the all. the funds going to the going to tight. end. You are going to help out um.

charities all over the place um. including mine and George. Uh but first. off, can we talk about how this thing. started. >> please? >> Uh get the people get the 92enters uh. informed on how this thing started. Um I. can tell you from my my end of things. Um, I got a call from George and Craig. asking me if uh we wanted to do a tight. end you summit and I was like, >> "Yeah, >> yeah, >> that was that was it.". >> That was pretty easy. >> That was probably it. And then and then. and then we made it happen from that. point on. Rubicon uh did an unbelievable.

job of getting sponsors, getting it kind. of paid for and organized for all the. tight ends that come through. And they. do an unbelievable job every single. year. What made you and and Greg really. like come together about this thing? Well, it started with so like I live in. Nashville and I was training with like. seven to 10 tight ends in the NFL. >> Oh, just in Nashville. And it was the. end of co season. Greg, it was Greg's. last season. He was with Seattle and we. were talking like after it was like the. second to last game of the season and he.

was just I just asked him was like, "Hey, would you like come on down to. Nashville?" And cuz I think he had said. he was going to retire and we were just. like, "Would you come down to Nashville. and just like watch some film with me. and the boys just so like we can take. another step in our career cuz like you. obviously know what you've been you've. been doing it great for a long time. You're amazing. Like I'd love to learn. something from you." And he was like, "Yeah, let's talk about it after the. season." So, call it like February or. March and like I call him like, "Hey, wouldn't you think we should do this?". >> He's like, "Hey, what if we invited a. couple other guys? Like we'll get up to.

20 guys. We'll get our marketing team. involved with it. maybe like do a fun. little sponsorship thing. So, we like. kind of pitched the idea to our. marketing team. They were like, "Yeah, we'll give it a shot." And then as soon. as we scheduled it, we went from 20 guys. to. Flip. I think our first year, what do we. have like 50 or 60 guys? We invited 20. and then like word kind of got out and. everyone was just hitting us up like, "Hey, I want to come. I want to come. I. want to come. I want to come." We're. like, "Oh, yeah. Okay, we'll do what we. can." And the first year we held it at a. high school in uh in Nashville, Lipkcom,

which was fantastic. It was just a. little small for us. And then it was. great. It was really fun, very intimate. And then um once we got rolling, it's. just kind of been like this is still. we're having a great time. It's an. excuse to get the boys and the wives. together, >> hang out in Nashville, drink a couple. beers, play some football, learn a. couple things, and like every year's. just kind of elevated just a little bit. more and a little bit more. And like, you know, hey, now you's coming this. year to teach guys how to play a little. fullback. >> Juice. >> Yeah. >> Je ball player, baby. Well, you know, there's so many tight ends that are. playing fullback these days are like in.

that role where like they're either in. the eye or they're bumping and all that. stuff. So, I thought, hey, might as well. bring in Oh, yeah. >> 10 time Pro Bowler Kyle use pretty good. at his job for sure. >> Yeah. Yeah. He'll know how to know how. to spread some wisdom. >> Yeah. So, I thought, you know, we got. that and then uh it'll be a good time. >> Yeah, man. That sounds awesome. I mean, I bringing up use check. That's one. thing about like tight end you that I. really like. appreciate that you guys are putting. together because like you just said it. feels like the tight end position is. increasingly having to do more and more.

things in offenses. Not I mean in. particular what you guys do in San Fran. as the Shanahan, Kubiaak, uh McVey tree. continues to spread. The way you guys. get to all these different personnels. and and formations while utilizing two. tight ends, three tight ends, right? You. can be in a wing set and all of a sudden. in an eye set and then all of a sudden. in a slot formation, go to spread. It's. the ability to mix and match this stuff. And I love watching I love the. creativity, man. I love watching you go.

in motion and really get to like a tight. end wing outside zone run. But then I'm. like, "Oh, wait. Are they treating it. like that? Are they treating like a. fullback run?" Cuz now George is. reckless reaching and he's letting him. go if he goes inside and leaving it for. use. And like I that stuff is so fun to. nerd out as an offensive lineman and the. stuff that you guys do. And love that. you is coming because he is a piece that. I feel like is. >> he's appreciated by all you guys. I know. that. Yes. But and I know that he's been. a Pro Bowl, but he's a guy especially. for that offense. I think has been a. really awesome piece. So, very cool that.

he's going down there this year. >> I don't know how our offense would. survive without Juice because the amount. of stuff that we just kind of put on his. plate. That is I'm just letting you know. like if I had to do the things that. Juice had to do, I would be really upset. all the time. [laughter]. Like they're like, "Hey, we're we're. going to have you bump then dash and. then you're going to counter back and we. need to dig out the three technique and. figure it out along the [laughter] way.". And also you have to figure out the. timing with the cadence of birdie and. then you're going to figure this out. And then sometimes, hey, the tackle.

accidentally picked up the three. So. then Juice is replacing and picking up. the guy he missed. It was like Juice is. really our fixer. Anything that goes. wrong with the play. >> it it's usually him fixing something. So. it's he's an incredible football player. that guys who watch them and understand. football, they're like, "That guy's a. ball player right there.". >> Ball player. >> No doubt. He does that pretty well, man. And there. Yeah. Kyle's just getting. good use out of that Harvard education. >> that he is. [laughter]. >> And he's like, you know what? This guy's. got neurons still firing. I'm going to. [ __ ] put him in a position where he's. got to think a little bit.

>> Still firing. I like that. Juice said. he's got like another 10 years in him. I. was like, good for you. >> Easily, dude. [laughter]. >> Why? >> Well, I guess. Yeah, if you love it. >> Yeah, if you love it. >> Guys having fun winning ball games, man. >> Do you think tight ends are f finally. starting to get the recognition they. deserve? Um, I think so. We're getting. there. Um, I mean, like we're kind of. finally like getting a little bit more, you know, money as a room, which. honestly, >> yeah, we're getting a little bit more. pay. Um, I still think we should get. more. Um, but it is what it is,

>> but we're we're we're we're bumping that. up slowly but surely. We're getting. there. And then I I mean, look at like. every like all the successful offenses. last year, everybody features multiple. tight ends. I mean, like the Seahawks. are in 12, 13 personnel or 22 personnel. the entire time. Um, the Rams are in 13. personnel. They're only in 11 or 13. personnel, which is pretty sick. >> It is crazy. >> It's super sick. I mean, like, you go. from having Devonte Adams and Puka, then. all of a sudden you have three tight. ends and you're running duo. You're. like, "Oh, hello." They do a lot of good.

stuff, but it's just like the creativity. that teams are using these tight ends. for, especially if you have one that can. kind of run a route and catch a pass. I. mean, that's such a that's such a dual. threat. And when you have multiple on. the roster, you can just do so much with. them. That's kind of where me and George. are saying like we're starting to get a. little bit of that respect from around. the league, but it's the it's the guys. that are still doing the dirty work that. aren't getting the the love that they. deserve. You know what I mean? Like it's. those guys like a juice like somebody. that feels irreplaceable that isn't. getting the respect in terms of the pay. like that that we think he deserves. I.

think it's those guys kind of, you know, that aren't being featured as route. runners that haven't gotten that. elevated of pay yet. And that's that's. where we really think the tight end room. should get that respect. >> Yeah. Like I mean cuz like there's. there's like third there's like number. three wide receivers who get I don't. know 30 catches a year that are getting. over 20 million. >> Just like I think the I think the tight. end who plays like 50 snaps a game and. has one target a game. >> He probably deserves like at least. >> what he's sticking his face in the fan.

>> but he should probably get 50 mil. Like. that's just yeah that's my opinion but. you know we're working on it. U but I. mean like we had Charlie Kolar. He just. went and got paid by the Chargers for. being a blocking tight end, which is. pretty sick. And he got he got he got. paid a ton of money. So like we're. getting there. They're trying to they're. starting to figure out that you need a. good tight end for sure. And and all. like you just said, all the best. offenses are trending in that direction, especially the ones that are coming. from, you know, the Shanahan and McVey. and all those trees. And it reminds me. of like the three four defenses and how.

they got really good and how they. utilize their linebackers and like they. can be in a lot of these subpersonnels. They can get to a fiveman front and feel. good that an inside backer can hold the. point at the end of the line in like 11. personnel. And they can get to sixman. fronts. They can I remember playing New. England. They build a fiveman front with. a high tower and Jamie Collins. They're. running all these games and making it a. nightmare in six-man protection and. creating all these mismatches. And um. you guys do the same thing at tight end. The Rams do the same thing. When you. have a guy that can be comfortable out.

wide and in line and in the back field. and you can get to all of these. different fronts and looks and run. concepts. Y. >> it's just. >> it's very difficult for a defense to. really hone in on, oh, what are their 12. personnel runs? What are their 11. personnel runs? How can we but how can. we [ __ ] these guys over when they want. to get into these personnels and. formations? like they it's hard to. harder to do that when you can mix it up. right before the ball snap. >> Those are my those are my favorite. plays. Like when Channing comes in like.

you know like you see like you get a. Wednesday install and you're just like. Andy was in his bag. Let's go. >> Oh yeah, baby. >> It's not like overly confusing, but. there's a ton of movement. There's like. a lot of weird formations. You're like, "This is going to be a fun week.". >> Oh yeah. >> I love it when those plans come. together. >> When did you make the move to tight end? Was it college? >> Yeah. Uh, I showed up at the University. I showed up at the University of Iowa as. an athlete and they just put me at tight. end. And my first workout ever in the. summer in the stadium with a bag, one of. my coaches yelled at me. He goes, "If.

you don't learn how to run block, you'll. never play here." And I said, "Oh dear.". Okay. [laughter] I'll try my best. >> No. I I got to college. I was 6'2", 200. lb. So, it took me a minute, but then I. grew 2 in and gained 60 lbs. And so, then it worked for me. Took me a while, though. When that day happened, did you. call Big Bruce, your dad, and be like, "Hey, so can I actually get some of that. knowledge that you were spitting to. everybody else?". >> Basically, yes. No, he was so full. It. was I was like I was very average. Like. I was a good athlete. I could run routes. and stuff like that, but after my.

freshman year, they're like, "Hey, we. might move you to linebacker." And I was. like, "Don't do it. >> Nah, don't do it. >> I don't want to play defense. I don't. want to do it.". >> So, I stuck it out and then I rode the. bench for three years and I finally. played my fourth year in college. It. worked out for me. Well, if there's one. college that represents tight end you. more than any other college, I mean, it. is Iowa. What What I even in your intro, I think I what I say the 6'4 tight end. out of Iowa is like that could be 15. guys at this point. Like I what is what.

is it about Iowa that breeds tight ends? >> Um, I think like like I said, the first. coaching point you get is if you don't. learn how to run block, you'll never. play. And I think just like establishing. that mindset, it automatically makes. every tight end who goes through Iowa. like a two-way player. Like it makes. everybody a why. So like and it. immediately puts you into being an. unselfish player. You know what I mean? >> You just have like your mindset is like. what can I do for the team? It doesn't. matter how many catches I have. I'm. going to block my ass off as best I. possibly can. And if I occasionally get. a cool pass, hey, I'll make the most of.

it and I'll run. I mean, we just had a a. freshman I'm terrible with names. We had. a freshman that went off in the bowl. game. He had like 120 yards and a. touchdown. and it was like his third. start of the season. So, it's just like. we just get them and like my I I get. asked like, "Hey, will you, you know, call this recruit for us?" And I'm just. like, "Sure." And, "Hey, why should I go. to Iowa?" Well, every tight end since. Kirk Ference has been head coach that. started has made at least practice. squad. >> So, like if you want to go to the NFL, you have like it's a 99% chance success. rate. >> I would just It's crazy. I would just.

take it. >> Isn't that insane? >> It's insane. Like every Titan that's. ever like played, you have at least a. shot at a rookie mini camp. And I think. they have like what is it? It was like. 15 out of 18 starters roster. >> So it's just like. >> we can get you through the door, man. >> Yeah. That's your goal. That's a hell of. a selling point right there. >> I think so. And it's like Yeah. Hey, are. we up for a national championship every. single year? No. But we're usually. pretty good. We're usually, you know, up. for a Big 10 championship and we win a. lot of games and you're going to have a. really, really fun time cuz Iowa is a. great party town. Great party city.

>> All right. All Midwest places are not. much else to do. >> Party position. [laughter]. >> There is not a lot to do. >> What we do? Yeah. >> Thank you to our presenting sponsor, Expedia.

We're. friends with everybody. So, hey QB, just. just a nice little dump off. >> Come on. We're right here. Right. Right. here waiting on you. That's why that's. really why Jason wants to play tight. end.

>> He wants the ball. >> for what? >> He wants dude, >> dude. I picked up a fumble one time and. got my legs cut out. So, I had no. interest in having that ball in my hand. I'm very good. [laughter]. DB was on me so fast. I'm very good just. blocking. >> I know what I'm doing. >> I averaged nine yards a pop in high. school though. That's. >> right. That's right. >> Against Northeast Carry. >> Leel's finest. That's right. [laughter]. >> Oh man. Uh are you more excited uh to go. out to get a to get a pancake and a.

block or a touchdown on a catch? >> Um let's see. I think at this point in. my career, I thoroughly enjoy scoring. touchdowns. Uh it's really fun. you. don't get tackled. Uh there's no. physicality usually just catching a. touchdown. But I said like it's it's. very satisfying to like just perfectly. flatback a guy and feel his breath. exhale. It's a great feeling. >> Oh my god. >> Like it's just it's hard to beat that. And like when you hear him like. [ __ ] himself that he just got. pancake by a tight end. Oh, it's just. it's very rewarding. I also like, have.

you ever like pancaking a DB is. satisfying because like one play later. they can be knifing your knees out as. you're trying to catch like a ball over. the middle and so if I can get my hands. on a DB. I've always thoroughly enjoyed. that. >> I used to love when we could [ __ ] cut. block anybody anywhere on the field, man. That [ __ ] used to be the [ __ ]. best, man. >> So fun. >> Catch a catch a safety coming downhill. trying to catch a bubble bubble screen. or something, man. Oh man. >> Oh, >> used to be my favorite. >> I say bring those back. Actually, I. think football's more football's d more.

dangerous when you can't cut block. I. like I don't need blind side blocks. I. don't need that stuff. But like the cuts. like cuz you see them coming. So like. all you you just jump or you you juke. it. >> I always felt the same thing. I think a. cut block if you want to actually. eliminate head hits and like people. running as full speed as possible into. each other. You should want cut blocks. still in the game. Like if you can't cut. them a what's stopping a defensive. player from trying to run through your. head as hard as possible? That's how I. would try and mitigate it at linebacker. It's like, dude, if you want to be a. [ __ ] I'll cut your legs OUT REAL.

QUICK. >> YEAH. There was nothing like I got a. pole next to Joe Staley and he's cutting. the safety and I'm cutting a corner on. the same clip. Like that's just a. highlight reel that I'll never forget. I'm just like that that's good football. >> Like the Blue Angels like the Blue. Angels at the air show. >> There's a lot of there's a lot of. defenses that want to cut that want to. stop that cut block going across the. ball to like seal the inside run. >> What do you want to do? It's it's well, first of all, what do you want to do if. you don't have that? Then it really is. just going to be like two Rams budding.

and just destroying each other. Not. safe. But outside of that, you like you. just said, they there are very few times. that the defensive end doesn't know that. block is coming. Yes. >> If they don't, they're [ __ ] so. oblivious to like what's happening. around them. >> That's what it is. >> They they know it's coming. If you get. your knee blown out, I I I mean, dude, step to the [ __ ] side. I DON'T KNOW. WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO, MAN. LIKE, what. are we talking about here? >> Just don't eat it. Like just I'm I'm. with you. Like there's like you're gonna. get cut, but like 99% of the times they.

see it with trying to move their feet, lower their shoulder. You see it? And if. you don't see it, you shouldn't be in. the NFL. >> There's a Y off on the other side of the. field. There's a chance he's going to. slice back and cut your legs. >> I'm staring right, dude. >> Yeah, >> dude. Come on. [laughter] I remember the. first practice I ever went to, collegiic. practice I ever went to, was with Jason. on a visit to the University of. Pittsburgh, old old uh what is it? Dave. Wanat and the gang. Um, and I was just.

going as Jason's little brother, so I. got to [ __ ] feel cool and everything. I don't even think I was in high school. yet. And uh the first pract the first. play I saw in practice out there was I. think it was nine on seven or some rum. period and a wide receiver came in in a. sprinting motion from outside the. numbers. >> No. [laughter]. >> And on the snap of the ball just. absolutely sliced the DN. And this is. [ __ ]. >> spring ball. just absolutely to run a.

[ __ ] toss his way and just absolutely. smoked his own teammate in practice. below the knees while he wasn't looking. I was like, "Oh my god, this is [ __ ]. college football. >> Oh, this [ __ ] is cutthroat, man.". >> Hey, that happens to you. Hey, that's. just horrible. I don't wish [laughter]. that upon anybody. Who thought of that. play? >> I was like, "Yeah, yeah, >> that just ends careers immediately.". >> Let me ask you this though. when you uh. when you made that when you made that.

transition to the tight end room in. college. Uh who were the tight ends that. you watched? >> Oh, so let's see. 2012. Um I was a big Grank guy. I loved Grank. I loved Antonio Gates. >> Still some of my favorite film to watch. >> Um I watched Jason Whitten and. >> Oh, Jordan Reed. I watched a lot of. Jordan Reed because that boy was. >> No one could cover him. >> So [ __ ] shifty, man. man. Sick. >> He was so nasty at what was it? Florida, right? He was so nasty at Florida, man.

>> Yeah. So, I watched a lot of his tape. and then I had uh CJ Fedoritz was in my. room my freshman year. He was a big guy. Went to Houston. >> Uh so I I thoroughly enjoyed watching. him play too cuz he was just you get. your hands on it and you're just cooked. >> Did you catch uh Tony Moyaki at all? He. was he was. >> he left he left right before but uh I. knew Tony a little bit and then like. Dallas Clark obviously I was a huge fan. of but uh no Tony gloves. >> Tony was a monster. >> I I cannot stand [ __ ] that don't.

wear gloves. [laughter]. >> The only person that I let get away with. is Vea cuz he was so [ __ ] goddamn. strong. [laughter]. But no, I'm I'm all about the gloves. The guy that you had at tight end you. the a few years back that I [ __ ]. loved watching the most. Travis loved. him too. [ __ ] Jeremy Shocky. Shocky, baby. >> That's my [ __ ] guy. >> He was a great time. >> Yes, dude. >> Get some actual game film on Shocki. I. only got the highlights. I got to get I. got to see the day to the the play to. play. >> He was just angry. Just an angry person.

It's awesome. It's one way to play the. game. >> Hell yeah. >> I do too. Shocky was so sick to watch. >> It's a sport of collisions and violence. If you're more violent than the other. person, nine times out of 10, you have. more success. >> I agree. It it it works. There was a guy that I played with. I've. told this story before, but there's a. guy that I played with who uh would get. really pissed off and we went through. something with Chip where like we were. doing this like mental conditioning and. the guy and there was like a big thing.

of like hey like don't let your emotions. get too high then you'll start to make. uncharacteristics mistakes or whatever. And I'm playing football and this guy's. getting [ __ ] all worked up and. I was like dude you need to calm down. like you're you need to freaking get. back down like here. So, and he's like, "Fuck you. I play better mad, right?". [laughter] And I, it was like two years. afterwards. The guy was already gone and. I'm [ __ ] playing a game. I get. [ __ ] pissed. And I go on like a. terror for like an entire quarter where.

I am just [ __ ] feel like I am [ __ ]. killing people. Like, I don't know what. it was. My nervous system was just on. fire. And I shot that guy a text later. that day. And I was like, "You're right. I'm way better when I PLAY PISTOL.". >> YES. [laughter] DIDN'T HE Did he. remember Did he remember it? >> He for sure did. Yeah. He was like, "I. told you. I told you." [laughter]. >> If you hit that right level of anger and. it's like an anger plus flow state, it's. really hard to beat a person like that. Ato constantly lives in that state, >> dude. HE HE WAS ALWAYS JUST ANGRY. I'M.

LIKE, AARON, what the [ __ ] are you mad. about? I didn't do anything, man. I'M. JUST [laughter] TRYING TO BLOCK. >> EASY, big guy. We're just having a good. time, right? Oh, but there's there is. absolut there there is absolutely. something that happens like from like a. chemical standpoint where when you get. pissed off. >> like your nerves just fire better. Like. I don't know what it is. I'm just like. wired. >> You're wired. >> But then there is like a down. You can't. go too high cuz then it just crashes. hard. >> It's hard. It's hard to stay for four. quarters. >> Yeah. You got to bottle that thing up.

>> It's basically smelling salts. [laughter]. >> Say they definitely make some. substances. Chase, you did you made a. great point the other day. You were. talking about like too many games being. played on too many days. And between. that and then I think you might have. mentioned about 18 games, but it was. funny cuz I had to do I was doing a. media thing and I did an interview like. the same day that you did that and I got. asked the same question. We said. basically the same thing, but then your. clip came out and I was like, "Ah, I'm. glad to see somebody smart with most of.

his brain left [laughter] is making the. same comments that I am. It makes me. happy. >> I don't know that I got much brain left, but yeah, we're we're we're we could tag. team that one maybe. [laughter]. I just Yeah, football on Wednesdays and. Fridays and Saturdays just doesn't make. sense to me anymore. >> Yeah, you know, we we've already. acknowledged like Monday was. grandfathered in years ago. Thursday, it. feels like that was another stretch. Once you start doing it too much, it's. like, dude, you can't It loses its. special like kind of magic when it's.

spread out over that many days. It feels. like just feels weird. >> Like before Thursday night football came. up like the Thanksgiving Thursday. That. was like the coolest Thursday of the. year. >> It was awesome. >> So you you had two football games on. Thursday and you're just like, "Oh my. god, >> it was so sick." I just remember as a. kid like you'd wait all week for Sunday. and then you get Monday night football. and it was just such a pleasure. But I. will say I love Thursday night games. Huge fan. Especially if you're love. them. Like if you know the offense, you.

don't have to study very much. Great. time. Yeah. As a rookie. Terrible. Horrible nightmares. [laughter]. >> Very unprepared as a veteran player. >> Absolute chaos. >> Yeah. Just chaos. It's like how do you. expect this guy to just learn this 100. play install? He's not going to. >> He's just not going to. >> We're going to get into our last segment. here. Uh get you in and out of this. thing, man. We appreciate the time so. far. But uh we got to get into a little. bit of that. We got to ask. You can tell. us to [ __ ] off and you don't have to. answer at all, but [ __ ] off. >> We got to ask. [ __ ] off.

>> No, no, no, no, no, no. Real quick, real. quick. Just what? Just hear just hear. one out. Hear one out before. I thought. I was just supposed to say [ __ ] off. That's on me. >> Uh, nice. [laughter]. >> Uh, what was your draft day like? Did uh. Shanahan make you do puzzles? >> Ooh, no. Um, I thought I was going to. get drafted by the Seahawks cuz the. Seahawks had called my agent and they're. like, "Hey, we're going to draft Georgia. with the next pick." And then all of a. sudden my phone is ringing from Santa. Clara and it was John Lynch and Kyle. Shanahan. And I was like, "Sick. This is. awesome." Nice. [laughter].

You got a [ __ ] call from a legend on. the field and a [ __ ] son of another. legend that then became another guard. >> Um, nice. That's pretty [ __ ] sweet. >> That was cool. >> No, I um I So, when Kyle was in uh. Washington, the puzzles question came up. because his dad had us do like some like. weird psychological like puzzle game. with I believe with who was the team. therapist at the time. >> That's sick. But I don't remember things. very well back then. But I remember. doing the [ __ ] puzzle and being like,

"Damn, this is like kind of like a. oneoff." Like none of the other teams. are asking me to do this little [ __ ]. puzzle. >> I did not do a puzzle. >> No puzzle. >> I didn't even meet with the Niners. Like. I I was one of those guys at the. combine. I flipped over my card. Zero. in-person meetings. I was like sick. >> Perfect. >> Just say just a stereotypical tight end. from Iowa. They don't need to learn. anything about me. [laughter]. >> It is what it We know exactly what we're. getting. He's the guy that loves. football. Going to give great energy.

>> That's all you got. [laughter] So, yeah, we don't need to waste our time with. this guy. Like my I had uh one of my. roommates for it. Um what was his name? Dee Westbrook. He was watch from. Oklahoma. I think he's he had like 32. meetings in the three days I were there. I was like, I have zero. Have fun, man. I had so much free time. It was sick. [laughter]. All right, next question. >> All right, here we go. Next question. What do you guys. >> Grank puts you on his list of top four.

tight ends currently in the NFL. Mount. Rushmore. >> What is the George KD Mount Rushmore of. tight ends? >> Currently right now or all time? >> Let's just go all time. Let's go all. time. >> Okay. Cuz I'm going to get yelled at for. not saying Mike Dicka, but I didn't. watch Mike Dicka play, so I think that's. not very fair. I was born in 1993. Okay. >> So, of everybody you saw that you've. personally seen play, who is your Mount. Rushmore tight ends? >> Um, okay. Let's go. That I've personally.

seen play who I think are the best tight. ends to do it. Um, let's see. I'm going. to go two of my favorite tight ends. I. got Travis and I got Gronk. And then I'm. going to go. um Tony G cuz I thought he was just so. [ __ ] sick and slippery and awesome. And also, I've seen so many of his. highlight reels. And then for my. personal fourth, I'm gonna go Dallas. Clark because he's my Iowa guy. Clark, [ __ ] because he was I remember he.

had a playoff stat where him and Pton. Manning had like 54 first downs in a row. together or something crazy like that. And I was like, that's that makes you a. great football player, man. You're. reliable when your [ __ ] team needs to. be reliable. And I'm also just I'm a. homer for Iowa tight ends. Sorry. [laughter]. >> Understandable. Understandable. Good job. not putting yourself on uh chill out. Chill out. Chill out. Chill out. He is. >> I saw Travis do that. >> Smart move, man. Smart move.

>> Well, when I was a kid, I went and saw. what Mount Rushmore looked like, and I. thought I wanted to be on Mount Rushmore. one day. So, I thought, >> why not put myself on it? >> Why not put myself on it? Um, as a. fellow NFL podcaster, uh, which is. harder, hosting a podcast, uh, with your. brother or your wife? >> Um, I think with your brother because. you guys will just talk [ __ ] to each. other. Like I will not talk [ __ ] to my. wife. She will whoop my [laughter] ass. >> Claire will be, >> to be fair, Jason will whoop my ass, but.

we do most of these remote. Yeah. [laughter] So, >> yeah. But like, I'm doing everything I. can to make sure she has the best time. possible. Like you guys can chirp each. other and you don't get too like you. don't get offended too early. I'm. terrified to say the wrong thing and. then once the camera gets off I'll be. shing [laughter]. >> know all about that. Know all about. that. >> What was that you're saying? >> Oh yeah dude. Your wife beats your ass. all the time. Jason, I know THAT. [laughter]. >> 100% 100% YOU. >> I had a I had a golf outing yesterday.

and uh they're like we we brought. hecklers around to heckle the guys are. the hitting balls and the main heckle. for me was like your wife has your. balls, Kelsey. I'm like you guys have no. idea how ACCURATE THAT IS. [laughter]. >> SHE DOES. She does. She has all of them. She has everything. [laughter] No. argument. You got me there, man. >> Shout out to KD things. Everybody, go. check out KD Things on YouTube, wherever. you get your podcast. And uh Jason isn't. a fan of uh madeup holidays, but please. let him know. Is National Tight End Day.

a real holiday? >> It's everybody's favorite holiday is. specifically Jason's. >> everyone's favorite. [laughter]. >> Yeah. And so that means Jason, you can. no longer refute this. Okay. >> Well, it's it's it's it's national. [laughter] it's National Titans Day. >> and then it's the 4th of July and then. Christmas is in here somewhere, too. >> [laughter]. >> I'm a big I'm a I love Fourth of July. It's one of my favorites. >> I don't want to say it's underrated, but. it kind of is cuz I think a lot of times. you think of like Christmas and you.

Halloween other days. >> Yeah. No is the holiday, >> dude. Being outside celebrating America, drinking and barbecuing. I The weather. is great. It's an alltimer. It is so. good. >> Yeah. We always do we call it um we call. uh what is it? The Zinga Warrior. Challenge. That's what we have at my. buddy Rob Tunan's house. >> Oh, what's this? I'm very intrigued. >> All right, so it's an it's an obstacle. course. It's It's an obstacle course. The pool's probably like 20 foot by 10.

foot rectangle with a basketball hoop. >> It starts off with flip cup, >> right? >> It's one So you have a partner, too. So. it' be like you and Travis versus me and. Rob. You start with flip cup, one. person. So we flip cup and as soon as. you hit it, you have to hit a shot and. the hoop's on the other corner. So it's. like a three-point shot. As soon as you. hit the shot, you dive in and you have. to swim to the other side, grab a. different basketball and dunk it. As. soon as you dunk it, your partner is. standing there in a frisbee golf and he. has to flip cup and then toss a frisbee. golf in. >> While you after you made your shot,

you're going to get up and run to. another station. As soon as he hits his. frisbee golf, you do another flip cup. and then you have like one of those. plastic golf ball things that hit like a. little red baskets. So you have to hit. you chip until you hit and as soon as. you hit then your guy does another flip. cup at a different station and you're. doing a one shot beer pong with one cup. remaining and you shoot till you hit and. as soon as you hit it you have to you. have to dive into the pool. >> and whoever touches the water first wins. and it has been we've done it for two. years in a row and it is me and Rob with. one back toback years but it is amazing.

We have so much fun. >> That sounds awesome. >> Jason Jason, we might have to get in. though on this dude. >> Yeah, >> birdie played last year. Uh he so we do. like a round robin to then do seedings. and birdie was the number one seed and. we beat him in the second round. [ __ ]. IDIOT. [screaming]. >> LOSER. >> So yeah, fourth of July holiday as you. as a holiday. [ __ ] you, Jason. >> All right, fair enough. [laughter]. Godamn it. All right. Do you still have. the [ __ ] Dallas t-shirt? More. importantly, >> I wore for my uh photo shoot yesterday.

FOR MEDIA DAY. >> [ __ ] YOU. >> OH, STILL GOT IT. >> IT'S IN MY locker every day. every day. it's in my locker. >> What was the inspiration behind the [ __ ]. Dallas just to rub it in? >> No, it was so like since I was like. since [snorts] I got drafted the 49ers. Um like they when Shanahan and Lynch. first got there, they were big on like. they wanted people to understand like. the history of the niners and like what. the Niners were before that cuz they. were pretty bad for like several years. before we got there. And so we were just. like um so I got learned the history of.

the Niners and like one of the images. that was shown to us was Gary Plamer. He. was a linebacker and he was wearing this. [ __ ] Dallas t-shirt pregame of a game. versus Dallas and I was like at some. point in my career I want to do that. And so I I've had the phone the photo. saved on my phone for like I think nine. years. >> and then and then I finally just got the. balls to do it and I so I bought it one. for the entire Titan room. I think it. was 2020 I think it was 2023 season and. I bought for the whole Titan room. I was. the only one who wore it but um you know. what I was like [ __ ] it. I'm going to.

pull this bad boy out tonight and it. worked. [clears throat] And I'm really. glad I did it. Um, it was really fun. But like it's just like the photo of. Gary Plamer doing it too. He's just like. your old school classic white linebacker. like from the '9s just yolked out of his. mind. Thick neck. >> Probably a little juiced up. >> Yeah. Yeah. [laughter]. >> But uh, yeah. So Gary, he was my. inspiration. And then I'm pretty sure it. was totally random. I ran into his. daughter like on an elevator. Yep. THERE. IT IS. >> LET'S GO. [screaming]. >> THAT'S A GOOD PHOTO. >> Is that a great photo? The mustache and.

everything. >> Yeah. So I saw that I was like, I'm. going to do that someday. >> Look at those [ __ ] pads. Holy [ __ ]. >> Can you imagine getting hit by that guy? Horrible. >> Yeah. So he inspired me. >> We got another uh picture of you of one. of the uh the best pictures I've ever. seen in football is you diving for a. touchdown that won the 2025 photo of the. air of the year for the NFL. Um have you. framed this photo yet? Uh, so what's. cool is our team photographer, he does.

these big black and white like glass. photos that have a light switch behind. them and when you turn them on like only. the color red pops up. So whether it's. your jersey blood, like whatever, but. it's only like the color of your the. fans in the background. >> Yeah, that's the only that pops up. And. so I have one of those. It's at my barn, my workout facility. So I got that one. made. >> [ __ ] yeah. >> That one's sick. >> It's so badass. >> I thoroughly enjoyed that one. >> What's more masculine? Pancake blocking. a defender or killing a spider for your. wife.

>> Spider for your wife. >> Easy, right? Easy. [laughter]. Gosh. >> Did you Did you know you were going to. go viral when you tweeted that out? >> You know, it was I don't know what it. was. All right. Do you guys remember u. Okay. When Andrew Luck played, there was. a Twitter account that came out called. like Captain Andrew Luck, and he like. wrote he talked in like letters to his. mom during the Civil War. Do you guys. remember this Twitter account? It's It's. I was obsessed with this thing. But like. anytime he'd be like, "Dearest mother,

the Panthers tried to invade and we held. them off as I attacked and threw for 300. yards and two touchdowns. I will see you. come Christmas." And it's like, I don't. know what I was thinking about that in. the morning on my drive to work and I. was like, I'm going to try to do. something like this. And so then I just. kind of wrote a fun little tweet and and. then I got a care package from PETA. saying don't kill spiders. And their CEO. roasted me. But I was like, ah. [laughter]. I'm going to choose my wife's my wife's. love over that. Sorry. >> Yeah. >> There you go. >> Yeah. >> All righty. Last. We got a last one.

here. >> Last one. Okay. >> Welcome. Welcome to the NFL moment. >> You want my off the- field one or on the. field one? >> We can do both. We can do both. >> Sound very You can cut this if it's not. PG enough. All right. So, my rookie year. during OTAAS, >> um my rookie year in OTAAS on Thursdays. cuz like you know your rookie year like. you're not busy at all. So you're there. for every weekend like you're not doing. [ __ ] So like I was there every weekend. and our equipment managers, shout out. for equipment staff, they're my favorite.

people. But they were a part of a. softball league and so they played every. Thursday night and so like there would. be anywhere from five of us to 15 of us. would go to every single softball game. on Thursday nights. >> That's hilarious. >> But the best part was was Joe Staley. went to every single one and he's like. the 13 the 10ear vet like the guy. He's. awesome. And like and like I had I had. like three interactions with Jose at. this point. So I was just trying not to. piss him off because he was terrifying. to me. [laughter]. >> And but as soon as the softball game. ended, we'd go to this bar called. Cartoons and they had karaoke on.

Thursday nights. >> And so then we'd go straight from there. with all sounds with all the equipment. staff and we'd go to Cartoons and we. would be belting karaoke and all was. like, "No, Joe Staley is a 10 out of 10. karaoke star. He knows every song. He's. Oh, he's incredible." They sold it as a. package that you could buy. was like him. singing KARAOKE WITH JOE TAYLOR. [screaming] It's amazing. >> Joe, absolute monster. >> I didn't know that. >> Oh yeah, he can sing. It's a He's just. He's a performer. He gets the whole. crowd into like he knows what he's. doing. Anyway, so we're at this bar.

We're having a good time. I go to the. bathroom and it's like it's one of those. older college bar vibes. And so like the. bathroom, it's exactly what you think it. looks like. Like a rusty door that. doesn't really close, all that stuff. So, like I'm peeing in the toilet in the. stall and there's like another rookie in. there in like in the other stall and I. just hear the door gets kicked open and. Joe Serious goes, "WHAT DO YOU GUYS GOT. TO LOSE? I GOT TO GO." And I'm like, "What?" And he he literally. [clears throat]. he he just takes the door off into my.

stall and he [laughter] goes, "Kill he. either he goes, kill, get out or move. over." And I said, "I'll move over, Mr. Joe Staley.". [laughter] And so that was my I was. like, "Oh, I think he likes action. >> So that was and for that's a totally. normal thing as a guy for everybody. listening. That's a totally normal. thing. No one's wrong [laughter] about. that. So I was terrif. rookie was against the Panthers when. they had Cam Newton, Greg Olsen, Chris. McCaffry as a rookie and Julius Peppers.

And so like I go off my first warm up. ever in Levi Stadium and Cam Newton's. just standing in our endzone like in our. [ __ ] tunnel and he's 66 250. I'm just. like I'm like buddy like. >> that [ __ ] is enormous in pass. dude. He is one of. >> like dude like we I play I'm supposed to. block for guys like you and you could. just kill me. [laughter] And so that. that freaked me out. And then like my. first I think one of my it was like one. of my first three plays I had a. one-on-one pass bro against Julius.

Peppers and all I was trying to do was. not piss him off because he had like the. visor everything. >> Oh yeah. Very intimidating. >> Oh I was just sitting there. >> like talk like that deep voice like. Julius. >> so scary. [laughter]. >> I had I think my first play against him. I had to cut him off and he like just. grabbed me and threw me to the ground. I. was like okay [laughter]. all right sure. And then I had a. one-on-one pass throw from him and I. blocked him actually. And as like the. play's going on, I'm just like, I played. with you in Madden 2006. This is insane.

[laughter]. And I'm just sitting there just trying. not to [ __ ] my pants. I couldn't believe. I was playing in the NFL. >> It was. But that was pretty fun. >> Those are some good ones. Those are some. great ones. >> Some of my favorite ones, [snorts] dude. Godamn. [laughter] That's hilarious, >> dude. I think Yeah, you guys should ask. for an off the- field welcome to the NFL. moment because I think. >> I like the off the field cuz you're. right. >> It's very unique. Like I think most. rookie wide receivers would tell you. that it's their rookie dinner because. that's always outrageously expensive, but you know, I think other guys would.

have some pretty good stories, >> dude. Thank you so much for the time, the stories. Thank you for being the. people's tight end and and being the. front runner for the position, dog. We. [ __ ] love you, bro. And uh good luck. this year, dog. Keep getting healthy and. we'll see you out on the grid iron, brother. >> I'm just happy I finally got to be a. part of the podcast. It's only been like. three years. >> Come on, man. It's been far too long, man. [ __ ] I'm the worst. Travis is like, "Oh, I'm embarrassed to. ask my friends." You're not. Yeah, we. all love you. It's okay. [laughter]. >> You're very,

>> you guys are fantastic. I'll see you. guys soon. >> All righty. Thank you to George KD once. again. Um, did not disappoint. >> He peep or dude, I'm tell you what, the. guy's just [ __ ] electric, man. He. tell the story with like with the best. of them. He remembers every [ __ ]. thing that happens, which is a talent. with how much that guy [ __ ] blocks in. the NFL. It is. I really enjoyed. >> You can tell he is just genuinely a fan. of football and he comes he comes across. that way in the way he plays the game.

He comes across that way in the energy. and excitement he goes about everything. with. >> But just you know bringing up the like. uh I can't remember the guy's name that. had the [ __ ] Dallas shirt on in the. beginning. How big of a fan he was of. guys when he first came into the league. with his welcome to the NFL moment. You. could tell he just loves football. And. dude, there's just something about. talking to football guys that love the. sport, love being around other football. guys, and George is one of the best. football players of our generation, >> undeniably, >> and a guy that loves the game. So, very.

much enjoyed talking to you, George. >> Once again, that conversation is brought. to you by Mentos Scum. >> Thank you to our sponsor, Colgate Total. Remember when we were younger and. thought uh stretching was optional? >> Yeah. Now, if I don't stretch, I'm. feeling like something's going to pull. walking to the fridge. >> That's right. >> Whether it's stretching before a big. game or, you know, just hitting the golf. course or Yeah. Stretching is huge for. preventing injuries. >> Exactly. You do a little upfront, you. save yourself a big problem leading. You.

know who else is big on prevention? >> Who? >> Colgate. Total. >> Did you just go from like stretching and. being an athlete to toothpaste? >> I did. I did. Yes, I did. And it's not. just toothpaste, Travis. It's a whole. system. Toothpaste, mouthwash, even a. special toothbrush. >> Yeah, full dental hygiene. Sounds like a. whole game plan for your mouth. And uh. the system prevents stuff like cavities. >> That's right. Cavities for sure. And. also gingivitis. It helps prevent oral. health problems like these before they.

even start when you use it twice a day. >> Oo, sounds pretty sweet. I'm locked in. on this. It's way better to prevent the. problem than try to fix it later. >> That's right. And that's exactly what. Colgate Total does. >> Get Colgate Total on Amazon today. Thank. you to our sponsor, All State. Checking. All State First. Yeah, that could save. you hundreds on car insurance. Not. checking who's on the group text before. hitting send. Made that mistake before.

Subject to. terms. conditions and availability. All. State North America Insurance Co. and. affiliates, Northbrook, Illinois. >> Now that that is in the books though, we. will get to perhaps uh the next. generation's greatest tight end. Let's. get into some of the tight end recap and. we're going to see what the interns did. down in Nashville for tight end.

>> Let's see what the boys got up to down. there in Nash Vegas. >> This tight end recap is brought to you. by Reese's. >> That's right, boys. We tied in you. We. tied in you and I came back with the. shiniest shirt that I will ever own. We. tied in. Thank you to our friends at. Reese's. We tied in you. Jake, >> how was it? How would you describe It? Was our first time there. How would you. describe your first time at Titanu? >> Tightenu is awesome, man. It is so It's. so much fun. >> Sick. Don't let anybody lie to you. It. is a blast. >> I totally understand why they do it and.

why making it bigger and bigger every. year. >> I understand. I understand why it grows. every year. I understand why people keep. going. I get it now. I've been People. have asked me like how was it and I keep. describing it as like have you ever seen. when they have like golden retriever. beach days and they just put like. unleash they're like ball ball water. ball sand dig a hole like that is every. dude's personality there and it's so. much fun to hang out with them. >> It was so cool and as two of the least.

tight end people on the planet to. >> let's. glue guy. I'm a glue guy. I'm a glue. guy. the physical traits are not. >> Yes, in terms of just physically. [laughter] size, >> mentality wise, I'm I'm there, but no, I'm not blocking. >> We're tight ends at heart, but we're not. tight ends on the field. To be included. in something like that was like so. insanely special. Uh, and it was just it. was it was awesome from from day one. Should we go through day by day? >> Should we? Okay. So, yeah, let's go. Let's go. Chronologically, chronology.

Chronology. How How do the guys usually. podcast for this one? Jesus Christ, this. is hard. >> It's crazy. >> We got there. We got invited to a. gifting suite, which just like that. sentence coming out of my mouth is. unbelievable. >> We don't belong at a gifting suite. Let. me be very clear to you. I've never. heard those words before. They're like, "Do you want to see the Reese's wall?". And I'm like, "Hell yeah, I want to see. the Reese's wall.". >> Absolutely. More Reese's than I've ever. seen in my entire life. Every variety. >> And you have to like pick the amount. that doesn't make you seem insane. So, we took like a tasteful amount of. Reese's off the Reese's wall, which I.

still have a lot of them. But, >> dude, I am flying through the Reese's. It is. The the family back home is is. doing well with the Reese's. >> I'm saving them. I'm I I ran out of. sticks already and I'm kind of pissed at. myself, but that was a decision I made. at like 2 a.m. >> The Take Fives did not make it off the. plane. >> We did the Reese's gifting suite on the. first day. Second day was on the field. with everybody, >> which it's like one thing to watch an. NFL game. It's another to be like field. level with these like Giants as they run. and cut and move and jump and you. realize, oh, they're like different than.

us. You get it? Like you're like, "Oh, these guys are all freaks." And we did. promise that we would try and do the. gauntlet. We didn't get the opportunity. to do the gauntlet, but. >> as some of you may have seen on the. internet already, we did try several. drills. Reaction, we did the reaction, >> which uh is way harder than it looks. It's so hard. >> Don't love a lot of the feedback we got. on that. Be very clear. Don't love a lot. of the comments. We can knock that off. That's bullying. Don't love that. >> I'm sorry I don't have an 8ft wingspan. >> Yeah. Sorry I'm not Kyle Pitts. Like,

I'm sorry. If I was, you think I'd be a. podcast intern? No, thank you. >> I think we did above average. >> Well, we did it later with Jason and. Kylie down at the shore, and they did. worse than us. So, >> exactly. >> There you go. >> Especially Kylie. Sorry, Kylie. >> Especially Kylie. Sorry. We should I. can't believe you posted that. You're. kind of a dick. >> It's just me doing my job. >> Watching them do stuff on the field was. great. Watching them do drills, watching. them talk through things like footwork. and hip placement, the little minute. details that I don't think you kind of. grasp when you watch an NFL game. It's. very fun to hear them all talk about.

that in person. I will say Dallas Clark might have a lot. of reps left in him. >> Dallas Clark could get out there. >> That was eye opening. He could probably. start for like at least 10 teams right. now. He looked great and I was having a. blast watching him. >> It took us like a little while to figure. out who he was cuz we were. >> really in shape guy. >> Who's the guy leading all the drills? Like. >> who's the fastest guy out there? That's. Dallas Clark. Excuse me. He's retired. For how long? Um, Jake, who was your. who's who was your favorite dude? It was.

a dude heavy uh event. Who's your who. was your favorite dude at tight end? >> So, I mean, it it was really cool. getting to like, like you said, see all. these guys on the field. Got to I I I'll. work up to it, but it would feel weird. not to start with some of the tight. ends. >> Go ahead. >> First off, Greg and George. Like, Greg. is just the nicest dude on the planet. >> The nicest human being. And the thing. Greg kept doing was showing up places. where we needed help. And Greg would. just appear out of nowhere. Like first. day he's like, "You guys looking for the.

gifting suite?" And we're like, "Yes, Greg Olsson, we are. >> If you needed a direction, Greg Olsen. had you [laughter] like he's like, "It's. up on the eighth floor. Enjoy. yourselves." And we're like, "Thanks, Greg." And then the next day we were. like wandering around uh trying to find. where we go at the concert. And he's. like, "Are you guys looking for the. front of the stage? What you want to do. is head to those double doors, hang a. left, when you see the bar, go right, and it's going to be past another little. gate on your on your other right." And. we're like, "Jesus, Greg, can you be. around me at all times?" He also he's. one of my MVPs of the week. Yeah. >> George George another MVP just life of.

the party everywhere. >> You just you guys all just watched the. George interview. So George like he's. just like that at all times. He is like. at a 12 and you can't help but be there. with him. It's the best energy. Um. George also MVP. >> My dude of the week and it's weird. It's. not a tight end but it's Mac. Jones. >> M Jones. Dude of the week. M Jones. >> Mac. Jones was having the most fun. >> I think he had the most fun at Titu was. M. Like you've seen the videos. That man. is having a blast just throwing the ball.

to these guys. >> He was just out there living his best. life. Uh hang hanging out with the boys. like uh you know I when when I saw M. Jones. It made me realize like, oh, the. the dude with the cigar at Alabama, like. he is just a guy's guy and like you. should it should have been obvious, but. it became more obvious once we got to. like see him in his element. He was. awesome. >> I get it. I get it now. M. Jones. I. totally get it now. Mac Jones rules.

Yeah, Mac. Jones dude of the week. probably. Like also, well, okay, Travis. was cool. It's cool seeing Travis, but. that's like our That's our work friend. We see him all the time. Mac Jones was a. delight. An absolute delight. Infectious. energy on Mac. Jones. If we're going to. talk about Travis, the coolest thing. about this year's tight end U was it was. the first year of like open practice. where the public could come out and. uh you know obviously there's a lot of. support for George. He's, you know, got. family in Nashville and all that stuff, but the 92enters show. >> 92%ers and Chiefs fans there heavily.

represented. That one lady had his. rookie card to sign. That one lady got. him to sign the rookie card. She was. like, "This is all I want.". >> She was like, "Can he sign nope on. this?" And I think he just signed it. But. >> she was like, "Is it okay if I ask?" I'm. like, "You can ask. I have no idea how. he's going to [laughter]. historically that card has not been. beloved on this podcast, but go for it.". >> It was really cool to see all the. 92enters out there who were like, >> "Yes.". >> Uh, saying hi to us, which is always. like, >> "I got a fresh crop of bracelets. I got. a fresh crop. Thank you. These are. everybody who handed me one. I took. them. They're home with me. I'll figure.

out what I'm doing with them." But. always nice to get a fresh supply of. friendship bracelets. And also like. seeing Travis in his element. You. mentioned this earlier, but we got to. see him do like the breakdown where he. was talking about his thing was like uh. you know there was the film room clip. that came out later which we didn't get. to see cuz that was like when they were. all in the classroom seeing him on the. field. >> We got to get in the film. We got to. >> we got to break down some tape. But uh. seeing him on the field talk about the. intricacies of like where how he needs. to like lead with this foot and where.

he's watching the shoulders and all like. get it's it's a savant like it's a. savant at work and seeing that is really. cool. >> It was really cool seeing them talk. about such a specific position and how. they all operate doing doing the same. thing but differently. >> Also Travis uh was signing autographs. and looked over just as I started. catching reaction things. So that was. perfectly timed. >> He didn't see at all how bad I did. So. that's I'm fine with that. He did not. notice. It's fine. We don't need to show. that clip at all.

>> He thinks I'm a star athlete now. So. that's great. >> No, Titan is sick. And if you have the. opportunity, you're in the Nashville. area, the open practices are a lot of. fun. >> Should we get to what everyone everyone. wants us to talk about? >> What What else happened there? I tied in. you. Was there anything else? >> Well, it was Nashville, so we got to see. some live music. >> We know anybody. >> It was awesome. It was awesome. >> Yeah. No, it's sick. [laughter] I don't. I don't I don't know if you [ __ ] hate. us. I get it. Like I get it. I get this. whole segment. You probably are like. just drawing X's on our eyes and I. totally understand it. We We are We. deserve that. Uh no, it was sick. We saw.

Taylor perform. Sick. Jake almost I will. This is a little behind the scenes. story. Jake almost missed it to go to. the bathroom. >> I really almost missed it. Yeah. I like. as as the [laughter] concert was like. wrapping up. I didn't quite realize that. it was wrapping up to be like we think. something's happening and then and then. Lanny Wilson kind of like starts. wrapping it up and Jake's like, "I got. to go pee. I got to get out of here. He's like 20 ft away when she's like. starting the wind up on on Taylor coming. out and I like there's this huge roar of. people and then I see just like spin on.

his heels and come sprinting back. I'm. like, did you make it? >> Didn't even make it to the bathroom. Had. to hold it the whole time, which why was. >> the whole three and a half minute song. I think you did okay. I think you did. okay. >> For a while, but uh it was it was. incredible. It was really like I I get. it, you know? Like it was it's it's. unbelievable. Like. >> it's great. It was a lot of fun. The. roar of that crowd like it was I've. never heard anything like it. Like it's. it's not that big of a venue. I don't. know. It's a couple thousand people, right? Maybe if not less. But the like.

it was a like a jet took off behind me. and I was like, "Holy shit." But it was. a lot of fun. I'll say this. I don't. know if we cut this or not, but I I did. My favorite thing to do with Travis. sometimes is like come up to him very. seriously and be like, [snorts]. I don't know, man. So, I saw him. afterwards and I was like, [sighs and gasps]. you know, I think if she sticks with it, she might have something with this music. thing. [laughter]. >> And I he he told me to shut the [ __ ] up, >> which uh totally fair. >> It was awesome. I I did get a black. cowboy hat, which I think I left at Kane.

the Cane Brown bar, so if anyone sees. that, please get it back to me. I did. feel like a black cowboy hat in. Nashville, Tennessee at the Cane Brown. rooftop. It belongs to Jets Jake and. he'd like it back. >> I did feel a little bit like the study. abroad student who goes away and like. comes back with an accent like I was. very much in my. >> You got that cowboy hat quick [laughter]. and I was like I don't know Jake. >> that was in my country element but it. was. >> you look good in it though. I'll say. that you pulled it off. I thought I was. a little skeptical when you first walked. over to that table and then you came.

back with it and I was jealous but I. also realized I had no room for it in my. bags. So. >> I I didn't either. So. >> I will I will cowboy hat another time. >> It's like that scene from Mean Girls. where it's like Katie wore army pants. and flip-flops. So I got like I saw. Travis have a cowboy hat. >> Both of us couldn't. You and I can't. We. have to coordinate our match. It's. really sickening when we do. We're even. more obnoxious when we dress in the same. New Heights merch. So I like the cowboy. hat can be your thing for this weekend. I'll go I'll go baseball cap. That's. fine. Titan was a blast. Shout out. Reese's. Twist our arms. We'll go back. next year guys. Anytime. any I mean.

It was very fun for us. >> It's the best week of the year for us by. far. And you know, historic like really. historically, uh you know, we haven't been able to. make it to tight end. And so being able. to go this year just made it it was.

incredible. >> It was a marathon, but we're going to do. it again next year. >> It was a marathon. Brandon literally. reenacted the Popeye's worker meme by. the end of uh by the end of Beerable. We. were we were wiped. But I mean, both of. them are just you see the community come. out to support a really cool thing in in. both aspects. >> That's that's honestly the best part of. all this stuff is like getting to meet. people in person. It's just such a. different like vibe and reaction than. seeing tweets or comments, whatever. Those are all very lovely and nice. But. like meeting people in person, like we. we love seeing people. We love seeing.
