I had a beer in my hand, and I had to receive the diploma, so I had to get the beer out of my hand some way.

It happened to be full. Don't know how that happened. It stayed full, as we saw when you threw it on the ground. If there's anything anybody should have been upset with, it's the fact that you didn't finish that chub.

There was way too much spillage to consider that a successful chub. Welcome back to New Heights, presented by Wave Sports Entertainment. It brought to you by Buffalo Wild Wings. Let's go, Sport Bar. That was terrible. Everyone, you're fired from ever clapping alongside. It didn't sound good. Yeah, my flaps were asked, too. But that's what day it is.

Jason, tell the people what we got coming up, bud. We got another fantastic episode, Trav. This edition is going to to present what took place at our first Arena Live show. Two Sonuts. Pretty special. It was an awesome show in Cincinnati. Cincinnati showed up, the University showed up. It was a fantastic evening.

So grateful, man.

We're also going to get to talking about out of the house. There's been some photos and things leaking on both of our accounts over the last couple of weeks. So we're going to talk about all that, as well as maybe eventually talk about football. You want to talk about football now? I I talked about it in four weeks on this show, so I guess probably there are still some football fans that watch. Is there anything going on right now? There's always something going on. The NFL has got this figured out. At all times of the year, there's contracts being done, there's the draft, there's OTAs. The only dead period in the NFL is that four to six month time period when everybody takes vacation in the summer. That's about it.

Outside of that, there's something happening at all times, which, thank you, because it gives us stuff to talk about on the show. All right, now. We're going to get to the first segment, as always. As always. New News. New News. Coming in hot. Still don't have a voice from screaming all day in the University of Cincinnati. First bit of new news is He must have heard us talking about him last week on the episode with Lil Dicky. Got a lurker. Because my brother, Chido Santino. Andrew Santino is going to be joining us next week on the podcast. I'm so pumped. If you haven't seen his podcast, Whisky Ginger, please go watch it. Absolutely hilarious. My favorite comedian out right now, one of my good friends, man. Have you guys been calling him Cheeto?

Yeah, that's his name, Cheeto.

Why Chido?

He looks like a Cheeto.

Because he got red hair? Yeah. I would assume that's the connection. There might be something deeper. How about this, Jason? We ask him when he comes on the show. All right, now. Appreciate you joining us, Cheeto. I fucking love you, man. We'll talk about his stand-up, what projects he's been working on, and the time I spent on his podcast wearing some very short shorts that I haven't worn ever since. How short? I mean, they were definitely mid-thigh. They were almost as short as the shorts you were wearing.

Well, those shorts weren't that short. Those are regular-length shorts.

Yeah, good point. All right. My nuts were hanging out. All right. We'll make sure you tune in next week for that one.

I promise you, you won't want to miss it, baby. Next bit of new news. We're going to talk about something That isn't, I guess, new news or it is still news, but we haven't talked about it yet. And that is Travis and Pat Mahomes are getting into the restaurant business together. That's right. All right, man. Their legendary connection on the field isn't iconic enough. They're now going to connect off the field as partners in the new steakhouse in Kansas City called 1587 Prime. Why is it 1587? Is that a year that's specific to the both of you guys?

No. Just a couple of random numbers thrown together. No, honestly, it's always been pretty cool to see the support that we get out in Kansas City. We wanted to make sure we showed that love back. Doing things in the community is something that we're both heavily, heavily involved in. This time, we wanted to make a restaurant, man. Why not have one of the coolest steakhouses in one of the best hotels in in the city, downtown Kansas City at the Lowe's. It's going to be awesome, man. I can't wait to show Kansas City our love for food and dining experiences, because that's one thing me, Pat, and the gang love to do, man. We love to just go out and just pig out at all the best restaurants in the world. We thought we'd have our own rendition in Kansas City, man. Shout out to the Noble 33 group that we're teaming up with. A lot of our favorite restaurants have been with them over the years. It's pretty cool teaming up with them, just good vibes, good people, good, genuine people, hardworking people on both ends, and just love the mashup. Well, this is being called, A Modern American Steakhouse, is the steakhouse it's going to be.

It is set to open in 2025, as Travis said, in the Lowe's Kansas City Hotel.

Are you guys going to be like Todd Haramans and Brent Selleck when they open their bar in Philly and just let all the Chief players eat for free? Probably not. But there'll be times where I'll pick up the bill. I'll pick up the bill, guys, every now and then. You guys might be able to survive solely on rookie dinners.

Do you think there's going to be a lot of rookie dinners enjoyed at 1587?

I don't know. Jason, I never had a rookie dinner. They never did that with you, huh?

No, not me. Fusano?

Come on, Anthony Fusano didn't take you out on a rookie dinner. I think we all might have grabbed dinner, but it wasn't like, Hey, we're going to dinner and we're going to pig out, and we're going to get the most expensive alcohol we can, and you're going to pay for it.

It wasn't a situation like that.

I mean, it's a pretty ridiculous tradition that the NFL does with rookies. I mean, it's absurd, especially the rookies that don't have a lot of money. It's so fucked up. I guess everybody has a lot of money, but I feel like the veterans should be imparting wisdom of saving your money and not spending it frivolously on shots of Louis XIII or whatever the heck that whiskey is.

It costs $200 a shot. I'm out on that. I'd rather not drink warm gasoline I'm all right on that.

I've never understood the... Whatever. This is for another topic, but what is going to be on the menu at 1587 Prime?

I don't know. Probably have some Pat's ketchup. I don't know. Pat has his own ketchup? Well, he is a big ketchup guy, so I would assume.

Is it fancy ketchup?

We know he's a big Water burger guy. Is there going to be fancy ketchup at 1587 Prime? There might be. We're putting together menus and everything right now. It It really won't be up and running until after this upcoming season. But we're putting together all the fun stuff right now. Does Pat dip his steak in ketchup? Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Everything.

Dude, it's just what he does.

It's what he's been doing. He'll get a nice bone-in rib eye, cut it up, and dip it in ketchup?

I'm pretty sure I've seen it before.

Wow. He's real back on it a lot from what I remember, but I've definitely seen that happen before. Is this going to be one of those steakhouses that has the Waigu steak in it?

I think every place has Waigu now. Yeah, I can't tell you exactly. I know we want to keep it centered Around Kansas City.

Am I the only person that's out on Wagyu? You might be, yeah. I've had it a few times. A few times? I've had it quite a few times, and it is fucking delicious.

I can't just have a steak, a 12-ounce Wagyu steak.

I can't do that. That's what I mean. It's good for two bites. I can have it slice up. It's very rich in terms of its savery, fatty flavor. It's too much for a full steak. But that's why I usually get a big old rib eye or a big steak. You put that thing on a taco, you put that thing on a burger, it's too much for a whole steak. It just by itself is a lot. I feel like I can just feel my My artery is clogging as this stuff is dripping down my gullet. That's funny, though.

I'm not... I just... Dipping down my gullet. You and the gullet is hilarious, man. Right down my gullet. It's a good word.

Yeah, no, I'm not sure what's on the menu. I'm not really even sure what's going to be specific to me and Pat in the restaurant, but we're definitely going to put something together. We're excited about it. Shout out to Noble 33. Shout out to Pat in My Homes, and shout out to Kansas City. We've We've been wanting to keep doing fun stuff for you guys in the community, and hopefully, you guys can get excited for this one. There is a question from a 92%er out there on Club 92 from Mad Dog B41.

Will Jason be providing the cows for Travis's new steakhouse? I can say that before Travis answers. We don't have enough cows to provide a whole steakhouse with meats, but we can provide a steak. Maybe one of the steaks is Jason. I don't want to leap to conclusions. It's Travis, it's your steakhouse, but you want one of my cows for a steak?

I got nice. Maybe ground beef. No, no. Let me take a gander at these cows. See what these cows look like.

Fair enough. That's a no, ladies and gentlemen. We're also been nominated for more awards. That's right. First up, we've officially been nominated for four Webby Awards. How about that? Podcast co-host, which I guess would be Travis and I. Podcast's Best Video Series, which I don't even know what that means. Podcast's best sports podcast, which, again, I think that's us. Social Content Series of Sports Podcasts. Dude, Jets Jake. That's a direct shout out to our one and only Jets' Jake. That's right. Dude, can't get a yard in the NFL, but he's up for a webby.

That's right.

We're proud of him for that. The lead social producer for New Heights is up for his own webby. How about it?

I don't know.

Is this a votable thing? That's a fucking thing. Thank you, most importantly to the 92% for continuing to tune into this show. You guys are what makes this show fun every single week.

We enjoy doing this.

We have no idea what we're embarking on each and every week.

We have no idea.

But we enjoy bringing it to you. The two most clueless guys to ever be up for an award. There's a lot of support in this room from a lot of people that you don't get to see on camera as often as Travis and I. And they're really what make this show.

As you can see, I'm always looking over here, and that's because I'm directly reading everything that Brandon has written down.

None of these thoughts are mine. I'm Ron Burgundy. If you wanted to help us sweep all four of these categories, there is still time to vote for the Webby People's Voice Award. Voting closes tomorrow, April 18th, so you know what to do. 92% of Swifties, of course. We'll put all the links in the episode description. Let's help Judge Jay get his social producer, Webby. How That'd be a big one for Jets Jake. He'd be able to wear it pridefully. Let's do it. It has also just been announced as we're taping this that we are finalists for Best Sports podcast at the Shorty Awards. The other finalists are All the Smoke, Night Camp. It's a great one Shout out to Unk. The Joel Klatz Show, Big Noon Conversations, as well as The Meta Kym Show featuring Lenny. Don't know who Lenny is, but I know who Meta Kym is, and it's probably great. You can vote for us daily through April 30th at shortyawards. Com/vote. All righty, it's time now to shout out our next sponsor, Buffalo Wild Wings.

Hey, Trev. Yeah. What's up, Jason? Let's go! Okay. Let's do this. That's right.

Let's go and get some takeout orders from Buffalo Wild Wings. Go. Buffalo Wild wings, go.

All right, now for 92% of us who didn't already know, takeout and delivery from Buffalo Wild wings is now officially called Buffalo Wild wings, go. Right now, until April 30th, when you order with Buffalo Wild wings, go, you can get six free wings with a minimum purchase of $10 in promo code, go wings.

Let's go. Jason, what B-Dub sauce are you getting with your six free wings?

Oh, man, I know this is not fancy, but Honey Barbecue, probably.

I love their Honey Barbecue. I've always been a fan of their Honey Barbecue. He's damn good. Honey Barbecue. Or Parmesan garlic. I do that. Or Just straight up Buffalo. I don't know. It's going to be tough. I mean, they've got so many good ones you can't miss.

For a limited time, get six free wings for a takeout and delivery with Buffalo Wild Wings. Go through the B-Dubs website or app. We need to shout out one of our sponsors, and that is the one you probably see us drinking all the time, and that's because it sponsors the show.

Accelerator Active Energy Drink. If you've been looking for ways to accelerate your fitness, look no further than Accelerator Active Energy.

Jason, what flavor you got over there? Just finished off a nice little bit of a Rocketpop.

I had a rocket pop.

I had a rocket pop, tropical punch, and I'm on my third one, my cherry ice pop. That's what I got going on. Good luck going to sleep tonight.

Accelerator Active Energy has zero sugar, gives you sustained energy, gets your metabolism going, gives you the enhanced focus you need to accomplish anything, like maybe doing a live show at Fifth Third Arena or getting in the ring at Russellmania.

All right. Now, plus, there's nothing like those signature plant-based thermogenics to give you the energy you need to record a podcast each and every week.

You can find Accelerator Active Energy at Quick Trip, Giant Eagle, Meyer. For all of my Philadelphia people, our favorite energy drink is Now available at Wawa. How about that? Go pick up your favorite accelerator flavor. If you don't know what that is, it is cherry limeade, just to let you know. Be like me and Travis, sipping it all day long.

All day long, baby. For those who don't live near any of those great retailers, it's always available on Amazon. All right, now it's time to talk about our next sponsor, Tommy John. Yeah, this is a bold statement, Jason. I'm going to say it. Tommy John Underwear is claiming they have the most comfortable underwear out there. I think you should be the deciding factor on that statement.

As I've said on this show, I do not wear underwear, and I don't wear underwear based on comfort. The reason I don't wear underwear is because I find it unnecessary and problematic to the freedom that my boys like to enjoy. If that's going to change, I don't I guess I don't think that's going to change. I'm curious to see what your come or what Tommy John is offering.

When do you wear underwear? What situation do you actually wear underwear?

Every time I'm working out. If I'm doing something physical, I'll wear... My thigh's chafed, so I do have to wear-So chafed, okay.

Yeah.

You don't likeI do have to wear, what are they called?

So when you're working out, it's like a compression short.Compression shorts.Yes, I do wear compression shorts. Like a heavy polyester.

When I'm running, you're doing physical activity. It reduces the friction. I'm going to do a lot of walking.

You're in luck because Tommy John does have a compression, like sportsy, athletic wear type of material.

I'll try that out.

There you go. If anybody else wants to try these Tommy John draws, as Jason is going to give it a try, you can go to tommyjohn. Com and use the code, you guessed it, new heights for 20% off. All righty.

That's tommyjohn. Com. Use code new heights for 20% off. Check it out and stay tuned to this ad read to see if Tommy John can deliver on the feeling that my your cojones. I think you know what I'm saying. Your jump. If it can deliver on the proper feel to the Nether region. Let's get to what everybody has been talking about the last few weeks, and that's our second New Heights Live show.

Oh, my gosh. It was electric.

In front of a sold-out crowd of 13,000.

So electric.

At the Fifth Third Arena. So electric. We're also glad that it moved indoors. I was the one who was pushing very hardly for it to be in Nippert. For those of you that don't know, Nippert Stadium is Cincinnati's football stadium.

Historic Nippert Stadium. Over 100 years old, folks.

Travis and I practiced and played games on that stadium every day.

Blood, sweat, and tears, boys.

It's also a unique stadium that is part of campus. It's open during the day. At any time of the day, you'll see kids eating lunch down there when it's nice out. You'll see people playing ultimate frisbee. It's very much a part of the university as opposed to, I think, any other college football stadium in the country.

I remember students coming to watch practice and just go over their work.

Well, that was a big problem. People could just videotape practice from opposing teams, which is why it's no longer there. One of the reasons, I'm sure. But it was completely open at all times other than outside of events and games. But we were definitely looking forward to showcasing the uniqueness that is Nippert Stadium. But we moved it indoors because of, really, weather. And I think it was the right decision on all accounts. It should have been indoors from the beginning. I screwed that up.

It definitely was.

The weather made me see what everybody else saw from the beginning, which is It's going to be way more fun in front of a packed-out indoor arena at Fifth Third. It was amazing. It started right up with the entrance for the Greatland Baby Games. Oh, my gosh. And Jim Brandis introduced us, there was smoke, there was fire, there was an I'm in the middle of an injury risk. I don't know how you felt. Running through that smoke was not... We had no idea it was on the other side.

I thought I was going to just run through somebody, just take out 10 cheerleaders. It was literally running blind for a good 10 to 15 feet, too. It wasn't just like, Oh, you're through the wall. It was like...

Dude.

I was just making sure I didn't kill somebody. And then there was that The blue tarp for the first baby game event was right there, and I tripped on it. I stepped on it in an awkward way. You're going to pick up your feet. Dude, I stepped on it. It has nothing to do with dragging my feet.

It was the fact. You were dragging your toe, like you were trying to stay in bounds in the end zone. What?

Just random toe drag. I stepped on it, though, in the mist, and I was like, Oh, no.

But you didn't because you're a good athlete.

But you didn't because you're a good athlete.

Well, the intro was electric. The fans were in it right from the get-go.

And let me tell you guys, this was...

I mean, the whole night was over four hours long. It was a long day.

I didn't even realize it was It was not long. I just felt like we were in there enjoying the hell out of it.

We started at 7:00 and ended after 11:00. It was a long day. There was one intermission which we needed badly, but the fans at all times were into it. They were cheering, they were yelling, they were throwing things. It was a fun, fun evening. There's also a great video of us dancing on stage before the game started. One of the 92% has got this, and I think I can pretty much squash any doubt of my dancing with this video right here. I think I finally put to rest anybody's opinion that I can't dance because I don't do other people's moves. I'm an original content creator. That move is called the Linebacker Jiggle because you need your knees inside your toes as a linebacker to be able to explode in any direction. Everybody knows this.

Everybody knows that.

But you also need that hip flexibility to be able to make a tackle. To me, it's demonstrating my linebacker ability with this dance move right here.

That's pretty good.

With great rhythm and gracefulness, if I might add.

Yeah. You still had the jeans on at this point, so it was a little stiff.

Well, the jeans, they're very stretchy.

Got nice comfortable wranglers. What are those things?

I don't even know what brand that is. They're broken. I had to toss them after the event because I ripped a hole in them.

Oh, that's what happened.

Well, there was a bunch of ass sweat, and then when I took them off, I realized that there was a hole in them as well. I don't know at what point in the show that happened.

Probably ripped it doing this thing. Yeah, right here.

No, I mean, this isn't. This is right here. It wasn't this. This is a move that wouldn't rip them, but something I did did.

Did did. All right. Well, I was impressed. I even gave you your props afterwards. Okay, Jason, I see you. I see you busting it out, showing how- Who the fuck is Patricia L?

Who the hell is this?

What happened? Wow, you can really see the difference between moves in the short clip. Jason, very jerky, whereas Travis, hips, legs, movement just seem to flow. I'm very flowy. I am very flowy.

The fuck does Patricia L know? What does she know? Listen, I was going for jerky. You got to be able to show explosion. Explosion happens jerky.

Thank you for telling Jason that he's not smooth.

I like showing off jerkyness because it shows that I have impeccable explosion.

That's a good point. I'm not sure. So what is she saying? She's not saying anything bad. She's saying that it's jerky. It might not even be. I think you're just reading it in a negative way.

You're right. Patricia, take back what I said.

Kaylee, 187. What is Jason doing? Now, that seems to be a shot. That was a shot.

Well, she just didn't know. She's asking. Then she's crying because she doesn't know. Some people put those as laughing tears, but she's literally crying because she wants to know what that incredible dance move that I just pulled off was.

You have a unique way of reading things.

We've already been over this. That's the Linebacker Shuffle.

All right. Bluey Ediva, 289 on Twitter, doesn't even look as if they're dancing to the same music. I thought it did.

I thought we were-Yeah, we're both in the same rhythm.

Yeah. Jason just looks like a Sims character.

All right. After the dancing, we got into the Greatland Baby games.

It couldn't have started off any better. Than I could have imagined. It was fucking unbelievable from the get-go.

My man, Zack. I guess we'll... The Greatland Baby Games as well as it have been.

I love how you got to tell everybody That's your guy now. Like, all right, it was fucked up what I did, but that's my guy.

Me and Zack became best friends after this. He came in clutch in the team relay at the end with the final sprint to secure victory for Team Academic, a. K. A. Team Nerds.

Oh, man.

For those of you that have not been following the last few weeks and are just turning into great baby games, was a competition between student athletes and non-student athletes, Team Academic and Team Athletic. It was a nod to Revenge of the Nerds, and in some ways, like global guts. It was a very unique game show that was created, for the most part, by our incredible team. Let's give it up for our incredible team at New Heights. Yeah, team.

So good.

It was unbelievable, the games that they thought of starting right away. So we had eight events. The first one was helmet toss. Helmet Toss. Helmet Toss, where we got everybody. We got two competitors, dizzy as possible. Then they had to try and hurl helmets at these cardboard cutouts of Travis and I. If you guys want to see how well that first event went. You can watch this clip right now. There's definitely a difference in the speed at which I'm spinning Zack and the speed at which you are spinning. Zack is clinging on for dear life. His head almost hit the pole multiple times.

That's exactly why I wasn't spinning that fast. Gillian was... She's like an athlete at University of Cincinnati. If I would have spun her to the point of hitting her head, oh my God.

This dude's head.

He's eating it all of three steps. Eats it the first second, ends up in our guy, Larry Shakely's lap, and then finds himself in the first row, second row. And by the time he gets up and runs over, the game is done.

I got to say, the one thing that... I mean, Zack is clearly the highlight of this video. I don't want to take away from my man Zack, but because everybody keeps focusing on Zack, people are not noticing just the deathly accuracy at which Gillian nailed these two cardboard cutouts with the NFL helmet. Two shots, bang, bang. Easiest thing I've ever done in my life. Even if you're not busy to throw a football helmet, it's not like it's the easiest thing in the world to do with any type of accuracy. I hope that she looks back before We're throwing the first helmet like, Is something happening? Because the entire crowd is going crazy over Zack.

Because Zack just ate it. He took two steps and just fucking ate it.

That was the first of it, which team Jocks took.

It was like there was a magnet that he had no control of, just fucking pulling him towards the stand.

Yeah, he was definitely leaning hard to the right.

That's so good, man. Oh, my God. When I saw his hair flying like a cape while you were spinning him, I was like, this dude is about to be miserable when he gets up. He's holding on for dear life. Meanwhile, I'm spinning Ms. Hayes over there, and she's just...

Yeah. I mean, not a concern in the world. Well, after that event, the jocks went up 1-0, and we went right to Jason lost his ring, where we had a full vat of Skyline Chili. This is actually technically a three-way. It's not just Skyline There's spaghetti in there, cheese, and chili.

We got to do this again.

It was, folks, the video does not do justice, just how disgusting this was.

I had to get away from that corner, man. I love Skyline Chili. I mean, I went to Skyline twice. I had to get away from that corner.

I went to Skyline twice over the weekend. I love Skyline chili. This chili had been sitting out for some time period.

It smelled so bad in that part of the arena. It was disgusting.

It was just the pungent odor coming from these children's pools filled with Skyline Chili three ways was absolutely disgusting.

Oh, my God.

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

Jesus, I I don't want to watch it. I'll let you guys watch it.

It'll be disgusting. Oh, no! What is happening? Team Academic went right away with the shenanigans. And then Team Jocks did not disappoint. She jumped right into the other Chilly. It was a genius strategy. She just started playing defense, essentially. I thought it was great.

Just like, Hey, let's just like- A genius strategy.

We didn't differentiate that you couldn't go into the other person's pool. I thought that was a brilliant strategy.

That's a big thing that I was thinking of. I'm like, Man, if I was in these games, I'd fucking cheat my ass off because there's no rules. If you're not cheating, you're not trying.

Nobody's really- We're giving very vague rules on purpose. We want the creative juice of how do we cheat or get an advantage. It's not cheating because it's not stipulated in the rules. We like creative not breaking any rules here. So the first person to find the Super Bowl ring won, and it ended up being Team Academic. But there was an unfortunateness, as you guys I know this game existed because I continually lose my Super Bowl ring. And I don't even know if Travis still knows this, but I legitimately lost my Super Bowl ring in this event. They could not find it. This is Jets Jake and intern Brandon. The next day, searching through the Chilly to try and find the SOC that had my Super Bowl ring in it. We have still yet to find it. All of this stuff has been thrown away, so I think we can safely assume that my Super Bowl ring is now on a landfill, someplace in the Cincinnati Tri-state area. I didn't think that would happen.

What did you expect to happen?

I thought that we would just go in the pool and get the ring afterwards, but they were throwing so much.

You're such a fucking imbecile. There was so much- God damn it, Jason.

Calamity happening that at some point, the only thing I can think of is at some point, the SOC got kicked out of the three-way, and it made its way out of the pool, and that it was thrown away in some shape or form. But yes, the Super Bowl ring is officially gone. We've already put the insurance claim in, which I think the insurance company might have some things to say about whether they're going to cover that.

Yeah, 100% they're going to have, especially if you're going to tell the entire world how you lost it.

Well, I didn't lose it. First of all, I knew exactly where it was.

No, you didn't. It was in that pool. Nobody knew where it was.

It's the same thing as if I left it in my house, and somebody came in my house and took it, it's the exact same scenario.

Jason, you didn't put that Super Bowl ring in a I can put it in the pool. You didn't do that.

It doesn't matter where I put it. I can put it wherever I want, as long as I know where it's at, and I knew where it was at. Somebody at some point messed with my Super Bowl ring, which I'm fine with. I mean, it's just a hunk of metal. I'll just have another one made, I think. They can do that, right?

I don't know, Jason. Probably.

I guess we're going to find out. This is so ridiculous. We also got a metal detector, which I don't know if there's probably already- Kids, if you're watching at home, do not do what Jason's doing.

Don't do this.

Greg, the metal detector doesn't work. He didn't know this, but there's actually metal in skyline Chilly. There's traces of iron within the Chilly itself. It's an impossible task to try and use a metal detector.

That's so good.

There's probably lead as well in there at some point. Oh, man. So upon truly losing my Super Bowl ring, there was the next event, which was the electric trivia. This event consisted of two contestants trying to answer trivia questions while riding a mechanical bull. Shocker, it didn't go well. Neither the godfather nor the team nerds competitor offered much of a value and effort. I will say also, incredibly hard questions. It was like inside joke questions. They couldn't just go with regular trivia. Our team had to go with new heights-related trivia.

Yeah, you got to watch the show, guys. If you're going to enter, you got to watch the show.

Apparently, they were not big 92 percenters because there were also some questions that I didn't know.

There was like, There's no chance we're getting this.

I forgot all about this. But either way, we had to resort to the tiebreaker, which I like to call common knowledge question.

Jason is so ridiculous.

Travis knows the common knowledge question has always been a part of our repertoire in determining which direction a waterfall goes when you are doing a drinking game. But you can watch that at some point, that'll be up, and you'll find out how that works. But essentially, just ask a question that you know both people should know the answer to, and the first person to blurt out the answer, there's no buzzer, it's just, Say it as fast as possible.

Say it as fast as possible.

If it sounds like the same time, you just call it a tie and you go to the next question. There's got to be a clear winner. The undisputed winner was Dante, the Godfather. That's right.

Hungary Bearcats Run Faster.

Hungary Bearcats, Run Faster.

Travis, you want to share? This was his- Get this one? Yeah, this one was pretty tough. I'm not going to lie. I didn't think this was going to be a great ending. I was actually encouraging the crowd to chant puke.

To just get it over with.

I just wanted it, yeah. Because it was taking-Do we stipulate that puking would get you disqualified in this event?

I think it's just a- I think you said it midway through.

I think you said it midway through. You're like, Oh, she's about to puke. If she does puke, she is disqualified.

I had to stipulate that just so everybody knew. I forgot to say this at the beginning.

This is the longest fast eating competition that anybody's ever had, and it's only three hot dogs.

I'm not exaggerating. I ate three cheese coneys that night, casually faster than they ate three for speed. It was alarming the slowness at which both of them were eating.

I talked to both of them after the race, and neither one of them eat chili.

Neither one of them had ever had skyline chili.

Which is rightfully so. You should never actually eat that shit. All right.

Juliet. Look at this picture of Juliet. She was struggling. Let me tell you, folks.

Juliet was having major issues getting this chili dog down.

We found out that she's actually from France.

She was a good sport about it, though.

Upon being a heptathlet, which apparently she's a very good track runner, so the expectation was high for her to do this drill well, the American skyline Chilly was just too much for her French palate to enjoy. She was really... I mean, I don't even know if you could count how many times she dryheaved while this event was happening.

If it was a hot dog of Fogua.

Yeah, she would have nailed it.

She would have fucking rolled through that shit.

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

What the What the fuck am I doing here? No, I felt bad for her because I would have probably have done the exact same thing she did. Just so everybody knows, they didn't pick their events. They just got randomly thrown into these events.

Well, I think they got to pick, but they got very vague descriptions of what the events were.

That is correct. You said it correctly.

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

This is going to be, bro. It's going to be a relay. Oh, my gosh. That's so fucking fun. That's fucked up, to be honest.

That's how you trick them. They both went for it, though. Let me tell you, as many times as Juliet dryheaped, she never gave up. She kept trying to get that Chilly dog down.

As soon as the girl, Brook, would have ran off, and Juliet hadn't even finished half of her cone, I would have just been like, All right, this race is over. I'm not guzzling these things down any faster than what I am right now. She's clearly out to a head start, and fuck this.

The perseverance that Juliet showed throughout this event.

She probably has Chilly still somewhere in her teeth.

It was inspirational, Juliet. And then the Kelsey Computer, I don't know if you can hear it from the clip, but the nerds were the best at understanding the family feud-ness of this event. They were in with the crowd because there were people shouting out these answers, folks. I know that they were doing it because we were the furthest away in the middle of the stage, and we could hear every single people that were shouting it out. And they were right every single time. All they had to do was say the answer that was being shouted by the entire stadium. And the nerds were the only team able to figure that out. Nerds took Kelsi Computer. Then we leapt into the Touche Push, which was an event, which I don't know why it was called the Touche Push. Probably just a branding thing because everybody knows what the Touche Push is, but it was a contraption from our friends over at Party City. Got to love it. That had a duck and a jump thing. Here's the clip of that. This is a clip of me actually in the beginning testing it out. Let me tell you, folks.

It was pretty good. It was hard to... It's bouncey.

There's something about a fat guy jumping in Tim's that's just It's impressive. It's satisfying to the eyes. I don't know why. I don't know if it's impressive, but it's fun to watch. I was smiling the entire time watching you do it. I'm just like, It's coming. One of these times, he's not going to be able to get over.

Hey, girly. You made that? Good job. Sorry. Why? He was showing me a fish he made.

All right, good. Nice. What fish was it? Was it a flounder? Goldfish?

It was a bluefish. It did have a flounder. It was very flat. Because it was two-dimensional, which I feel like flounder.

It's the only two-dimensional fish out there.

All right, go ahead. But who won Touche Push?

Oh, Jocks. Touche Push was Jocks. Yeah, Jocks. Which there's not a video of this one. I'm not going to lie.

Sahid just...

Just ate it. She made this competition less about jumping.

She just decided at some point, she was like, I'm just going to outmuscle these girls.

We didn't clarify. We should have clarified that if you get touched by the... You're out. You're out.

She at one point was making no effort. That's what I'm saying. Her thighs have got to just have bruises all along that right side of her.

Bruises? It was a pillow. She was getting hit with a pillow, Jason.

She was essentially in a UFC fight, kicks to the leg.

It was so funny. She was just like, There's no way I'm getting over this jump thing, so I'm just going to keep just getting whacked in the thighs.

She really struggled in that one, but she almost lasted.

Yeah, no, actually, I had to call it because the other two girls were actually jumping over and under. Participating? Yeah, they were actually in it.

You were on her at the moment her foot stepped out of bounds, you were like, No, that's out.

Because she kept putting one foot out. I'm like, All right, I'm not going to be a stickler and say that's out. But if both those feet are off the X, she's off for Mark one more time. I'm calling it. Because that would have just been going forever. Yeah, so the athletes won that one. Then Travis Spellingby, because of course, I can't spell squirrel, I can't spell Schwarzenegger, I can't spell anything.

Why was it called the Travis Spellingby?

Because I'm pretty sure all of them were words that I should have been able to spell that I didn't.

You could spell Gronkowski.

I should be able to. I think you can get it. G-r-o-n-k, Gronk. Yep. O-w.

Ski. O-w, yeah.

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

They got that one wrong, which I was surprised. That's one of the easier ones to get.

I fucking would have not been able to get Schwarzenegger, though, and I love him, too.

I don't know that anybody's getting Schwarzenegger, including Arnold himself. Can you imagine being Arnold on a Scantron, trying to fill out that freaking name?

What the fuck? On a Scantron.

All right, this is time for my fourth-grade proficiency test. For your first question, input your name, Arnold.

Fuck. Arnold, I'm sorry.

There's nothing that bubbles.

Arnold, you passed with flying colors, but you incorrectly put your name on the Scantron. We can't accept this. That just don't want enough of a bubble to put my name in.

I don't know how I just made Arnold sound somewhat Italian. All right, anyways. We also had Bearcat Basketball, player and son of Edrin James. Jizzle James, compete in the spelling bee with a huge moment at the end when the last word to decide the spelling bee was one that you guys are going to enjoy. Check out this clip.

I'm Chris R. R. E. L. The double R will get you. Nailed it. It'll get you. You either know it or you don't.

It's one of those things- The only question, Gizl got right the entire competition, but he passed it with flying colors for his team, and the Jocs take the Travis Kelsi spelling Bee.

It's impressive. That's one of those when you're looking at it, you think the relay race, Jocks are going to win that one. Spelling Bee, nerds are going to win that one.

Yeah.

That's how it works sometimes. Not the case in the little baby games. That's right. Not in the case of the little baby games. Then out of nowhere, we just decided that the last game was for all the points.

So every game-We knew that in order to make the last game the most exciting, however, the first six, seven events went, it was going to be worth the necessary amount of points to put either team over on the other one. It was always going to come down to the sports pod relay race. So ridiculous. Team Academics crushed it. Team Athletes really got stuck finding the jeans for Jason.

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

I'm running right over it. Nobody checks. Of course, they didn't check. They just assumed like, Oh, shit, she found it.

There's no punishment.

Just grab a pair of jeans. Just act like it. Fake it till you make it, kid.

Come on now.

Get called out before you lose this thing. No, that's not the right ones. Okay, fine. I'll go back and look. I didn't even know. I didn't even know. I thought it said, Oh, I thought it said... Oh, it said jeans. I thought it said Jason. Oh, that's Levi? That's Levi? I thought that said Jason. Either way, Jocks with a come from behind victory. Sahid again struggled with the squirt squad game. She really just could not get that water into the bucket. Finally gets over to the jeans. But the nerds really took the lead on the jeans section and officially became the winners of the first ever Great Lumbebi Games. Let's give it up for the nerds. Let's give it up for these nerds. Congratulations Team Academic. Just out here doing nerd work, finding a way to win in every phase of life. I love it. The Lumbebi Games will be available exclusively on New Heights Social channel starting April 29th.

And that is because there's a lot of cutting up.

There's a lot of camera angles.

There's a lot of things that our team has to do.

And we're a podcast. We're not ESPN. We got to figure that So it's going to take a little bit.

It's going to take a little bit of time.

It's going to take us a second. I thought it was a good first run, Trav.

I think- Dude, it was unbelievable.

It was interesting to try that out. I didn't know how it was going to go.

Luckily, the University of Cincinnati really came through, as well as Party City.

Dude, so fucking cool, man.

And of course, our own team at New Heights.

Somehow, they made this shindig happen. And we got to thank each and every competitor. Not only just made it happen, they made it outstanding, man. All of the jocks, all of the nerds, all of you guys really made this a special And the entire student fan base.

Again, we're going to be Putting all these videos up on YouTube eventually. We kicked off the live show with a message from the Jibroni mayor himself. That's right. Cincinnati's mayor- No longer Jibroni. No longer Jibroni. Perval. Don't be Jibroni.

Know your role and make some noise, and let's walk A New Heights Live. It was awesome actually meeting him. Dude, he was awesome. I think it's perfect.

I appreciated him for showing up. We could shake his hand and just tell him we appreciate what he's doing for the university, what he's doing for the city of Cincinnati because that place has changed a lot since me and Jason were there. It's really cool to see how much they've not only cleaned up the city, but how much more fun it looks like the It really is. Yeah, it just looks like it's an electric city, and it's thriving from the time that we were there. Not that it wasn't when we were there, but you can tell they've really put a lot of effort in getting it to where it is today. I remember not even being able to walk on Short on Vine. I mean, Cincinnati was wonderful when we were there. I remember living down by Cincinnati Taft, and there wasn't a soccer stadium over there.

Exactly.

They've been doing some really good things. Even down by the river, down on the river, they Got that thing up and running, and it's thriving down by Bank of America Ballpark. I think that's what it's called. Banks. No, Grand American Ballpark.

Not Bank of America. Great American. Great American Ballpark. Marriott Tab and the city of Cincinnati is thriving right now, and that was evident in our visit there this past week. It was a lot of fun. It was cool seeing all the changes that have happened around campus, downtown. They've gone above and beyond to really take Cincinnati to the next level. I can't wait to see how that future continues to unfold. Yeah. It was an awesome gesture by the mayor to introduce us. It really brought things full circle with the trash talk that ensued a couple of years ago. All of a sudden, we're all in this for Cincinnati right now. It was a great moment to come back to the fact that we all care about the 513, right?

We were joined by some awesome guests, man. We had Desmond Ritter came out first, gave the Bearcats a familiar face to be able to cheer on and listen to. And I'll tell you what, man, Des, every time I hang out with him, man, it's just more and more I'm impressed by who he is and how he carries himself. Couldn't be happier for how his career ended at the University of Cincinnati. Obviously, losing in the college football playoffs, but he carried this program to places that we hadn't been before. New Heights. All right now. He really did, man. He really did. He took the program to New Heights with Fickle. Sure enough, he gave a lot of us alumni, a lot of the ex-players, something prideful to watch and talk about.

Absolutely.

Then to just see him do his thing in the NFL and be able to stand on, being a solid quarterback, being a great guy, being family-oriented, and just doing things the right way, man. I'm happy as hell for him. Sure, it was just an awesome interview.

Absolutely. Great person, great bear cat. Can't I can't wait to see what he does this year in Arizona. A little bit of fresh start, which sometimes is the best thing you need. What Dez did at Cincinnati, he speaks for himself. He's the most successful quarterback in the history of Bear Camp football. As much as Zack Glaris will probably be upset that we're announcing that, Our former teammate who we love, Anthony Pike.

You just can't dispute what Ritter was able to accomplish in this time frame.

And don't get me wrong, Zack appreciates Des. He gives Des all the time. We just love Zack Kleris. We do. I also love Des, especially after interviewing him on the show, you could just tell what an unbelievable teammate, leader, and just overall, how important it is to him. A little bit upset that he didn't have a great Uncle Woody story. He was so straight-laced that he didn't have something that was ridiculous.

But I think that that's what you want in your star quarterback. Yeah. Either that or he just knows what he's doing, and he ain't letting the cat out of the bag. That's your point. Then we had former chief turned Cincinnati banger, Orlando Brown, one of my favorite teammates of all time, man. That's right. Talking about his dad's Waterboy moment. To get him how to... Sometimes you just got to tap in. You just got to go somewhere that nobody else knows how to get there, man. It's so cool hearing some of the stories that Orlando shared, not only with his time in Baltimore, Kansas City, but obviously now that he's a bangle in front of that crowd.

It was pretty cool to see. Yeah. Lastly, I think the crowd That was crazy all evening, but there was one moment when it got easily the loudest that it could possibly get in that building.

That's the moment Joe Burrow came out of that tunnel. I mean, Joey B. Everybody lost it, man.

One bit. No, he was such a good dude, man.

Such a good dude, such a competitor. He shared great stories. He's obviously a known big alien guy.

That's where we share, baby. We're big on aliens. We don't want to spoil too much of our conversation with Joe, but he was more than open about a lot of things that have taken place throughout his career and what's happening currently, and also with who is the spiceier white boy Travis or Joe. It was awesome. Joe Scheisty. It was awesome to see him. Incredibly nice of him to agree to come on the show, as was Orlando Brown and Des Ritter. All of these conversations We're a joy for us. I can't thank you guys enough for coming on, man.

Forever grateful, man. Appreciate you guys. Lastly, we ended the night in a truly epic fashion since neither of us got a chance to walk during a graduation ceremony. We both have already got our degrees. I got mine maybe a few years after Jason did, but we had our degrees going into it. All of you that are thinking this was a graduation ceremony because we just finished our degrees, and it was a very serious thing. We appreciate Cincinnati's President and athletic director for doing this, but it was just a fun way to close out the night. Hopefully, you guys can understand that me chugging the beer was because I had a beer in my hand and I had to receive the diploma. I had to get the beer out of my hand some way Might as well just finish it. It happened to be full. Don't know how that happened. It stayed full, as we saw when you threw it on the ground and there was still beer pouring out of it.

Pouring out of it? That was more like foam.

It was foam because I couldn't get the air flow. There's not that much foam in the can, Travis. Yeah, there is when you can't get the air flow and it's just dumping out. If there's anything anybody should have been upset with, it's the fact that you didn't finish that chug.

That's my made. I did finish the chug. That's why I was upset, is There was way too much spillage to consider that a successful chug.

Jason, you were scared to race me. I was not scared. You were scared. I was willing. You were terrifying. I'm terrified. You were terrified.

All right, we'll get to this.

You don't want the misery that's coming.

Yeah. Sorry for everybody that got upset about this. I mean, it just wasn't that event. It wasn't that serious. There were two women wrestling in a vat of chilly before this. That's the athletic director posing with me. I've never been to a commencement because I skipped mine, but I'm pretty sure the athletic director isn't the person that hands you their diploma.

He is now.

But I loved receiving this diploma from Jon Cunningham. I'd prefer it from nobody else. It was an absolutely fun night littered with all sorts of shenanigans. In the words of the great Charles Barkley, I don't think Travis or I should be anybody's role model. That's probably fair to say.

We love Chuck. We love Chuck.

We do love the kids, and we love Chuck. I think if you would have finished your beer, I think people would have been way less upset with you. I think that was the main thing that got people upset.

It was a tall boy. I had already had a few. I was showing that there was beer in the can by doing the water- Yeah, you go away from the mouth to show that it's actually making its entrance. Yes. Then I'm not just faking it. There's foam when you do that, Jason, if you don't have the correct airflow, which I couldn't break the can open and chug it.

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

It would be a shotgun, and I would have airflow. That way, it wouldn't foam up.

All I'm saying, people chug out of beer cans all the time. If there's that much foam coming out of the can, I think, universally, we can accept that that is not a complete chug. No. That's all I'm saying.

No. I chug faster than you.

Well, I guess we'll let Twitter decide. Twitter decide, please. Please make sure you tell Travis that he did not finish his chug and that was the most unacceptable moment of that show. I don't know how we're going to top this at our next live event. Cincinnati truly made it a special evening. Not only the people there, which we're into it the entire time, but the entire Cincinnati staff on hand at Fifth Third Arena. It was remarkable how well this thing went off without a hitch, especially considering Travis and I had nothing to do with any of it. These guys just made it such a wonderful evening, as well as our own New Heights team. We're going to continue to thank these guys out. The creativity and thought process that went into this was spectacular. Just effort, man. The guests that showed up, the President of the University. It was an amazing night in Cincinnati, and I don't know that we'll ever to be able to top what just occurred. So really, really big shout out to everyone involved and everyone who attended, and all the 92 percenters, Bearcats, and, of course, Swifties that were at the event.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, guys.

Oh, we also got a sweet video from Operation Breakthrough.

Nice. O. B.

Which, of course, Travis and 87and Running has participated with in the past. They sent over this clip of your graduation. Congratulations. You did it. I want to be this like you.

Yeah, inspiration. Yeah, it's a big inspiration because makes me want to finish school and to tell myself to keep going and not to stop.

We love your Travis, Kelsey. Great job.

Just when you think you're not a role model, they send you a video. Hey, kids, did you see what Travis did?

You want to be exactly like I How awesome would have been if they all chugged apple juice? Dude, this is awesome.

I love it. The Operation Breakthrough kids are just the sweetest, man.

I still got to get my truck over to Operation Breakthrough. They're going to turn that thing electric. My old school Chevy. Get these kids on there.

Get it in line because after what we saw them do the Chevelle that they turned electric, I'm pretty sure everybody in the city wants to get their old school turned electric as it was on display at the Kelsey Car Jam. Hopefully, we have another one of those this year where we can showcase the Bronco that they're actually converting at this moment. They're converting an old-school Bronco into electric. The team is working on getting all that live show videos out to you guys ASAP, but please be patient with it. It'll be worth it at the end when we get that thing perfect. Please follow the show on all social media and subscribe on the YouTube channel so you don't miss when those videos It was drop. We're going to keep doing this live show thing. I believe it was something me and Jason both had a fucking blast with. We'll definitely keep everyone in the loop on when we're doing another one. The arena deal was pretty fun, but Jason is pretty set on doing a stadium at some point.

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

Well, The Link is the fucking link. If you have an event in The Link, it'd be unbelievable. But The Link also holds 80,000, Jason. Well, hey. Got to get some good guests.

I don't know. Are you questioning Philadelphia fans?

I don't think you're questioning Philadelphia fans. I'm questioning me, Jason. That's what I'm questioning. I'm questioning who is going to show up. But yeah, shout out to Cincinnati. Appreciate you guys. Love you guys. Everybody involved. It It was unbelievable. Just want to say how grateful we are for the experience and the time that everybody put in.

Absolutely.

All right, now it's time to get out of the house. Getting out of the house. Jason, you were literally Mr. Out of the House this week. I love it when you get out of the house because it's so unexpected of shit that you do outside of the house. Yeah.

I've been out of the house for too long.

Out of the House is brought to you by our friends at Accelerator Active Energy That's right. Accelerator Active Energy is available at Quick Trip, Giant Eagle, Meyer, Amazon. For all you Philly area 92 percenters, it is now available at your favorite store, Wawa.

Oh, it's at the Waa.

Love it. Yes, sir. Jason, you made a Russellmania appearance.

I did. It happened. Dude. Pretty awesome. Talk about the link. It was 80,000 people in here packed for Russellmania.

Jason got out of the house and went down to the for Russellmania 40 right in Philly. And damn, you and Lane did not disappoint. You guys look like a tag team nobody wants to fuck with. I'm not going to lie.

My biceps are looking good.

Look at that picture. How much did you guys lift before you guys went out there.

We were using a lot of bands, and Kylie kept making fun of me because I was really obsessed with how my biceps looked.

I'm proud of you. They look great. It's just the honest answer. I'm not going to hide it. Not ashamed? They look like my thighs.

I'm going in there with a cut off. I'm going to get them things popping.

Dude, there's nothing more electric than cut off jeans and Tims. It just shows that he's a hard-working man, and you don't fuck with that. You just don't fuck with that. And then you jumped over the rope. The double jump over the rope was one of the most athletic things I think I've seen you do.

I feel like people think it's that hard. That's a steel cable that has some elasticity to it. I just vaulted.

You can tell you've ran from the cops and jumped the fence with it. That's what I saw. I'm like, Dude, he just got out of there. You had the luchador mask on. Were people screaming it was you when you walked in?

Everyone knew it was me in lane. Everyone knew it was me in lane. Johnson. Everyone knew immediately. Well, who was close to us? There were people from... I've seen some social clips of people further away that were like, Who's that? That couldn't tell. But anybody that was up close and personal knew right away. It was Lane and I.

Knew it was Lane Johnson and Jay Misterio. See what I did there? Yeah, it was good. See what I did there? Dude, Ray Misterio was one of our fucking favorites. He was one of the best. He was one of the guys that could... He was an acrobat. He was just aerial at all times, just doing flips and just cool-ass shit.

What was that Nintendo 64 game? It was WCW versus NWO?

Oh, yeah.

You want to talk about it. Ray was the one that... It was the most fun to play with him because he could do all the different acrobats and finish your movies.

All the cool shit.

It was awesome.

God damn, that just took me back to all those fucking sleepovers when we were 10 years old. It's a great game.

A very solid game.

When did you find out what you were exactly going to do at Russellmania?

We knew that we were going to be involved with these masks, but we didn't really find out the full extent until pretty much two hours right before the show. There's a little backstage area that you're figuring things out. Nice.

It's like a New Heights production. You just find out Five minutes before you go out there what's going on?

Pretty much, yeah.

The whole time, I thought we were behind the eight ball here, but it looks like we're pretty spot on with the best productions in the world.

We knew we were on Ray's team, which they didn't have to tell us that. From there, it was just operation, get it done.

Yeah. Also, I thought Ray Misterio was going to be way smaller. You and Ray Misterio are the exact same size.

We are. We are the same As you can tell, just by that photo alone. Don't look at the next one.

Oh, yeah. I didn't see the- Biceps not looking as good in that one.

So at one point, Lane... I think Lane wanted to take his shirt off. He's like, Hey, you want to take your shirt off? So then I ripped mine off like the Hulkster. And then I proceeded to look like... I was trying to keep my shirt on because I'm really developing this Bert Kreisler. I feel like I'm still in Bert Kreisler's freaking bit, and I don't want to steal your bit, Bert, but I feel like this is a- This is a big bear. This is an acceptable time to have that shirt off.

You're just a big bear. That shit's hilarious. I can say that it was fun as hell watching you up there, knowing that we used to fuck around as WWF, a W-W-E, fucking Jibronies as kids, man. It was cool to see you up there having some fun.

Oh, dude.

You also got to meet The Rock backstage, dude. How electric was that?

Well, I've met him before, actually. He came to the Eagles facilities, trained him before one of the one of the WEE events earlier in my career. He probably doesn't remember that, but I remember it because I think everybody remembers when you meet The Rock for the first time.

I right now.

But it was awesome to see him again, obviously under different pretenses this time. I'm just happy he's back involved with WEE in a very meaningful way. He's been such an explosive personality for the wrestling world. Obviously, he's gone to, I don't want to say bigger and better things, but to become the superstar he is outside of the wrestling world. I think selfishly, everybody in the wrestling community is happy to see The Rock back, even if he's talking shit to Jalen, pissed off all of Philadelphia.

Yeah, he's the villain right now.

I know. Well, they call him The Heel. In wrestling, the villain is called The Heel. Found that one out this week.

There you go. There you go.

Awesome seeing The Rock. I don't know if there's a more iconic individual in America.

Nice.

Right now, than The Rock. If there's one more thing I want to say about Russellmania, and I mentioned this there, I think they should figure out a way to get the commentators in the live performance, because the live performance is incredible. You're hearing the pounding of the ring. It really echoes, and it makes you feel like you're a part of it. There's really an element that I think you get from McAfee or whoever's doing the commentating when they're like, From the top rope. Oh, my gosh. How is he ever going to do it, ladies and gentlemen? That adds this excitement to it that I really think you would have taken it to the next level.

Yeah, I hear you on that. It's probably not great audio quality, but I hear you on that.

I'm sure there's a reason they don't do it.

I guarantee you they've thought about this. Yes.

Yeah, you're Okay. Other out-of-the-house news, we have Travis at Coachella. That's right. After the live show, Travis didn't stop being out of the house. He took a plane over to California and went to Coachella. Music Festival, not your first time there, Travis. You and I have both been numerous times. It's a fun weekend of festivities. How was it?

I love live music, man. I absolutely love live music. Hard to beat. I don't get enough of it in my life. I really enjoy any event. I just like going to events, going places where people are, seeing all these talented people in the world. I just like to experience that type of shit. I love experiencing new cultures. That's the one thing that I really enjoy about Coachella is that it's not just one genre of music. Genre? I agree. It's everything. It's everything.

That's where I first saw Cromio.

Dude, the funk lords. Shout out to Cromio. Man, I fucking love the funk lords.They.

I really do have every genre you could think of at Coachella.I mean, not a lot of country acts. Every single one. That's not like their main thing.

A couple of years ago, Danny Elsman, like composer, he had a symphony playing in the desert.

It was unbelievable.They got everything there.It's.

Always creative.It's always creative.

Good artists, great artists.

Yeah, I always appreciated it, man. It was fun. It was fun getting out there and seeing a few new bands that I really wasn't that familiar with and just became an absolute lover of their music because of how they performed and how they captivated the crowd and got everybody into it. The Bleachers, my guy Jack Antsinaff, absolutely ripped it. I had so much fun seeing him go Nuts with the guitar and all his boys. He had two sax players, two drum, two guitars, and they just ripped it, and it was so much fun. Everybody had their own time on the keyboard. That was fun as hell to watch. One of my favorite bands out right now is Jungle. They absolutely killed it. Nice. Played one of my favorite songs called Casio, and I was out there moving to that joint. Casio. Casio. Playing on my heart. Gosh, who else did I say? How could I forget my guy, Dom Dala. Tom Dala. One of my favorite DJs out here, man. Dom Dala. Dom Dala, yeah. He absolutely kills it every single time. Sure enough, it was his own set at Coachella. He did two sets.

He's also in a combined DJ group with John Summit, and they did one the day before, so I didn't get to see that one because I was still working. But Saturday was such a fun, fun day, man. I love going to Coachella, man. Hopefully, I can keep going, but obviously, the schedule is always filled the fuck up real quick in the offseason.

Dude, the one thing you got to be ready for at Coachella, you got to take your time. It is walking and dancing. You're moving at Coachella. It was seven different stages. I guess we know who you went with. We saw the pictures. We know who you went with.

She was supporting the new heights.

How was the difference? Big New Heights supporter. Sold out of the green hat real quick.

It's a good color green.

How was Coachella different? Because I expected you guys to be backstage, mostly with the musicians, right? But it seemed like you guys were in the crowd.

I like to see it from the fan's perspective, the people that actually... Because I am. I'm a fan of the music. I'm a fan of live shows. I want to see it from the front of off the stage. We probably could have finessed it that way, but I think it's just that much more of an experience if you're in the pit, man, if you're in the madness with all the fans. It was awesome, though. Were you on your feet from all the walking? No. Gosh.

The one thing I regret every year is how much walking it is. It's amazing every year, but it's a lot of walking.

It's really not.

Oh, you're out of your mind.

Dude, we were walking- You're walking from stage to stage.

You're walking to the bathroom, which is like a- Well, if you know the terrain, Jason, you know how to get to each stage quickly and efficiently.

It's a lot.

It's a lot.

Especially, you got to know afterwards, where we're walking to whatever house we're staying at. I got a cheat code. I know where to stay, where it's just a quick block walk once you're out of the festival.

No, I thought I had that, too. I know exactly where those houses are, and it's still a walk. No, you don't.

You're insane.

It's a lot of walking. Listen, Coachella is great. Just get ready to walk. Not Not a sandals of it. No, it is not.

If you wore sandals, that's what you fucking get, Jason. I think we restocked the green hat, though. Everybody, head over to homage. Com/newheist to get the green hat. Those are going to be gone pretty quickly now that we just informed everyone. I know I'm going to buy a few. I fucking love that green hat. That's a really good shade of green. Coachella is always fun. Shout out to all the performers.

Shout out to Accelerator Active Energy for bringing this segment to you. Out of the house.

All right, now.

All right, let's get some No Dumb Questions. That's right. It's time for one of our favorite segments. We do it almost every week because we love dumb people with No Dumb Questions. No Dumb Questions is brought to you by Tommy John Underwear. Tommy John makes the most comfortable underwear on the planet. No adjustment needed.

From user Liz of H-Town.

Liz of Houston. There we go.

There you go. If you could choose any two sports to combine together à la basketball, which two sports would you choose and why? It's pretty good. Reading this before, I immediately thought of one of my favorite movie sports scenes of all time, which is Happy Gilmore When Bob Barker beats the shit out of Happy. It's a great one.

It's a great movie. Solid movie.

Seeing that in real life would be unbelievable. I'm going to say boxing and golf.

I feel like we did. I would combine We did do something like this, didn't we? Nascar and gymnastics.

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

I think we were just changing the rules, and we made Nascar that you could drink and drive or something like that. It was something like that.

Yeah, drinking in sports. That's what it was.

We're going to make this very clear. No, do not do that.

Unless NASCAR does it, you guys do not do it.

No, don't do it, even in NASCAR. Let's avoid that. We don't want to be good rollers. No, it's a big pillow.

Nowadays. Everybody's in that car.

Yeah, NASCAR and gymnastics.

Nascar and gymnastics? This has just become evil Knievel or some shit.

They got to do the floor mat while a NASCAR, you got to jump over the car while it's moving full speed.

This just sounds like nitrocircus.

You got to do and you got to land it. You got to stick the landing. The car does a bunch of flips and sticks it.

They'd have this actually with monster trucks.

It sounds like monster trucks. I'm not going to lie, but with regular cars.

It's probably some of the things that these monster trucks are doing when they are in the air.

Monster trucks are cooler.

They are unbelievable.

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

I saw a clip of somebody playing hockey and football. It was like football rules on the ice.

I did see that. That was great. I mean, it was nice. It was incredibly dangerous. I mean, didn't a hockey player just have his neck slick? Can you imagine trying to tackle somebody and drag somebody down with skates attached to their feet?

I don't think they had skates on. I think it was just football on ice and hockey equipment. Oh, they were just Equipment. Equipment. Oh, good point.

Well, either way, terrible idea because I don't know if people know this, but ice is harder than concrete.

Hard as fuck.

It sucks getting hit down on ice. How about swimming and sharpshooting?

What would be the weapon? It would just be like a bow, like a crossbow?

You got to tread water while you're shooting sporting clays or something like that, like archery. What's a good thing to combine with swimming?

Have you seen the torpedoes? The little torpedo, like soccer game that they play underwater?

No, that sounds exciting, though.

Remember the little rubber torpedoes that you used to throw underwater and you would see it like a submarine, just like you could pass it underneath water to your friend?

I don't, but it sounds great. I'm not going to lie.

All right. What is- You used to play this all the time.

Oh, you're talking about just the little ones that you would throw under there.

They turned that into an actual game where you could fucking tackle people and hold them underwater.

It sounds like my game.

It is. It is your game.

What What about... This is a good one. Lacrosse and polo. Because it doesn't make sense that those guys on horseback are hitting that ball all the way on the ground. Just play lacrosse on horseback.

I think that'd be a legit game. That would be legit. Did you know you have to have four horses per person?

Per person? Why do you have to have four per person?

I don't know. I just heard that. So I thought I'd throw it out there and see if you want to call bullshit on it.

I'm calling bullshit on it. I don't really know why you would need that. Four per person?

Yeah, I don't get how that works. Endurance, maybe?

I don't know. Oh, maybe that's it. They got to sub the horse in and out.

Yeah.

That's my sport. Let's let the horse get tired. I'll just sit on top and have all the fun. That's a good point. I like that.

I want to play it just once.

La Crosse horseback riding?

Yeah, me and horses just don't. Dude, do you remember Wurly Ball?

Wurly Ball, yes.

It was It was bumper Cards. It was bumper Cards and La Crosse.

That was a great game. Great game.

That's what I'm talking about. It's in Columbus, Ohio, for those of you that are around the Columbus area. Wurly Ball. Make sure you guys go check it out.

Are we sure that they invented I mean, I know it's in that area, but it's got to be elsewhere.

Dude, I've been trying to find it everywhere else, and I can't find it anywhere.

What are we doing? Let's open up some Whirley Bowl spots.

Dude, they're so fucking fun. I went there not too long. I went there four or five years ago.

Do you think 1587 Prime could have a on the back side of the building that has a Whirley ball court?

No, this is not that establishment, Jason. This is not that establishment, no.

It's not? Okay.

It should be.

How about skydiving? Is skydiving a sport?

We can make it.

Skydiving and slam dunk contests. That'd be a pretty incredible slam dunk.

I don't know what, how. Are the hoops in the air or where are they?

It's to be determined. It depends on how many points you want. You can go all the way to the ground, but it's a lot harder to get it in there. You got hoops at different levels.

What about skydiving and track? Who can get to land first?

See, now you're thinking, who can get to land first?

Who's going to pull their parachute last?

You're basically playing chicken. You're essentially skydiving chicken, is what you're describing. I think it's a fantastic idea.

It'd be very fun to bet on. I think it's a fantastic idea.

You remember the great outdoor games when they would climb the pole and then descend as fast as possible? Do I remember? What? What are we doing here, guys?

This is electric is what it is. This is electric is what it is.

More on the line.

Way more speed.

Travis Pastrano would be dead.

No, you can't kill that guy.

There's no way he's backing down. He'd figure it out, though. He'd figure it out.

He'd be someone- He'd figure it out. That's what I'm saying. He'd be going to freaking die. Travis Pastrana doesn't die. All right. Yeah, knock on one. Shout out to all the cool Travis is out there that made my name cool.

The only person in the world with more lives than a cat.

Travis Pastrana. That does it for no dumb questions. Brought to you by Tommy John Underwear. Time to round up some NFL news. That's right. Let's talk about football since this is still a football/sports podcast.

I suppose.

Starting with some Eagles updates. Devante Smith and Jordan Malata, two of our favorites here on the show, man. Got paid big time. It was announced on Monday That the Eagles wide receiver Devante Smith agreed to three years, $75 million. An extension that was well worth it. Smith's deal includes 51 guaranteed. God damn. Is Smithy an under He's an underrated part of this offense? Do you think he doesn't get enough credit?

I mean, he's definitely not underrated by anybody on the team. I think, listen, he's playing next to the best receiver in the NFL, AJ Brown. So it's easy to see that maybe he gets less credit than he's probably deserved because of the greatness that A. J. Brown has displayed. But I could tell you, anybody in the Eagles, the route running ability of Devante Smith is insane to watch in person. You talk about my dance moves versus your dance moves. This is the smoothest motherfucker I know.

Yeah, he's a smooth cat.

It is insane.

That's a smooth player right there.

The way he moves and gets out of breaks and the level at which he entered the NFL and how good he is.

He's silky.

Oh, my gosh. Silky smooth on and off the field. You see some of the things he's wearing. He's smooth no matter what. He talks smooth. He's one of those guys that in his head, he is one of the most mentally tough killers that I've played with in the best possible way. I mean, in only complementary fashion. This is a guy you want to play football with. He embodies the mindset. Don't Don't let his skinny stature fool you. This guy has every bit of a football player's mindset. I cannot say enough good things about Devante Smith as a player, as a person, as a personality. Outstanding young man who just got three years and 75 million. So shout out to my man, Smitty.

That's a whole lot of money. It's a whole lot of bread. And a former guest on the show, Jordan Malata, is also getting paid this offseason. Jordan and the Eagles He agreed to a three-year, 66-million-dollar contract extension, which includes $48 million guaranteed and $20 million in the signing bonus. He just got $20 million richer by putting his John Hancock on a paper. That's pretty good.

How about that? That'll get you a whole lot of real estate over there in Australia.

Hell, yeah. You can go over there and get all that delicious candy, that good old rich chocolate.

You can order at least 15 million Blooming onions at Outback with that. It is. That's a lot.

Baby, it's the only onion I'll eat. Fried.

Yeah. It's probably not buying you that much. I think they overcharge for the Blooming Onion, but whatever.

It's damn good, though, man. It's damn good.

Yeah. It includes 48 million guaranteed and a 20 million signing bonus per Adam Shifter. Yeah, man, it's Howie season. This is what Howie does better than I think. I mean, I'm biased, but anybody else, at finagling the situation of the cap, what players are, first of all, do in real life, but then also what is going to be their cap hit. The Eagles are so good at moving that around and avoiding the salary cap from really ever being an issue. I can't think of one time in my tenure with the Eagles that there has been this issue with the cap is too high or too low, or the Eagles don't have room to sign somebody that they want to. I feel like at all times, they know how to move things around to get accomplished, what they want to accomplish. And you see it from other teams. They just don't move with that type of fluidity. They get hamstrung with either Guys who are really high on the books or players that are unhappy with their pay. It feels like the Eagles... I mean, we saw that last year with Asan. Asan Rick is now gone.

He wanted more money last year. I just feel like the Eagles deal with that less than anybody else. They really are... This is one of the things they do so well is they know how to allocate these resources. They know how to move money around. I think in part, that's a credit to Howie and his understanding of all of the ins and outs of the salary cap and the full ways to take advantage of the structures of these contracts. I think it's also a point of emphasis on Jeffrey Loury. I mean, they have the cash to do all these things because It's one thing to be able to maneuver the cap, but it's also one thing that the owner has to be willing to shell out cash at different points to make these things happen and give the resources possible to the GM to do as much as this and to allow Howie to operate with this type of freedom. I think the both of them combined, as well as other people in the building, Jake, Bryce. There's a lot of people in the building that go into making this one of the Eagle's strengths.

But Howie, for sure, gets the credit, and he should. They know how to extend players, when to extend players. They know how to move money around. These numbers might look astronomical, but they know that the cap's only going up. And by doing these deals earlier, these numbers change as that cap goes up to be more in line with, or actually more not in line, they're already in line, more of a deal for the Eagles long term if they believe in these guys, which they clearly do.

For good reason.

Listen, I think it's certainly been a strength of the Eagles, and They have not shied away from exploiting all of the rules and, not carveouts, but all of the rules and different tools that are possible within the guidelines of the salary cap. They know how to finagle all that. It's been one of their strengths, quite frankly. So shout out to both Jordan and Devante Smith. Both of these guys are more than deserving of these numbers. There's a lot of guys around the league looking right now to get better contracts from their teams or to be paid what they think they're owed. And some of these teams are handcuffed, and that's based on deals and structures that they've already done beforehand. And you're seeing it right now.

Well, I'm happy those two guys got paid. They're fucking deserving of it, both not only two of the best NFL players in the National Football League, but just two of the best teammates and guys you could have around. So you love to see the good guys get paid and broke off accordingly, man, especially when they're doing shit the right way. No doubt. Packers to face Eagles in the league's first ever game in Brazil. That's right. Eagles, packers in the Corinthians Arena down there. Week one, two. First game of the year, breaking it out down there in Brazil. It's probably going to be hotter than hell. Boys, to make sure you hydrate. Brazil is known to be right there on the equator, and we know because science- Well, no.

It'll be winter for Brazil.

It'll be winter for them down there at the equator. Does that have anything to do? You tell me it's going to be snowing.

I think we're on the equator. I don't think it really matters.

I think it's just... What is it going to be? Eighty instead of 105?

I think that's a big difference, let's be honest.

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

So in history?

Yeah, they won't jump off the season, but they'll be the first game that's played on Friday night.

Yeah, the second game of the year will be this Friday night game. Listen, I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about this, especially Philadelphia fans. Big travel ramifications for this home opener. I'm excited about it. We've talked about this before. You and I are big fans of the international games. I think it's really cool playing in these unique situations and stadiums. I've been to Brazil. I actually went to the Brazil for the World Cup in 2016 with some fellow teammates, and it was outstanding. Obviously, this is a different sport. That was the country's national sport of soccer that I was participating with. But I went to Corinthians Arena. We got to see a game live there.

How much walking did you do?

Not as much as Coachella, but it was quite a bit of walking. Yeah, it's going to be an incredible experience. I fully anticipate that. Brazil has got a wonderful culture. It's got great food, great people, a culture that likes to party. So they're going to be geared up for this. They like sports. They like physical fitness.

Sports, physical fitness, partying. Sounds like a perfect mix for the NFL.

Listen, I think the NFL is going to enjoy this game.

Who do you think has more fans down there, the Eagles or the packers? That's a real question.

I think it's going to be... Brazil, strikes me as more of an eagle crowd. Not a lot. But yeah, big fan of Brazil. Went down there for the World Cup, stayed for a full week, saw, I think, what the five games? Went to Rio, São Paulo, and Brazilia.

Who's your favorite individual player you saw at the Rio games?

The one that I was the most excited to see because of his standing in the world at the time was messy. We did not go to an Argentina game. We went to a Brazil game, though, and the other guy that was right up there with him was Neymar. Got to see Neymar play in person. Brazil won against Chile in penalty kicks. It was a fantastic game. But we got to party on the Rio Beach with a bunch of other Americans. They had a whole- Jason, you're not supposed to go down Come there and party with Americans.

You're supposed to party with the culture.

Listen, you know us. We find each other. It's easy to spot just by what you're wearing. You know right away. That's an American right there.

Cargo shorts, that's an American. I'll tell you what, though. Messi played in Kansas City this past weekend. Nice. He played in Arrowhead, actually. It's not the same. He played in Arrowhead.

It's not the same being in the MLS.

Why is it not? Just saying.

Because it's the MLS.

Don't shit on the MLS.

I'm not shitting on the MLS. I'm saying it's not international soccer. When you think of soccer, I know there's all these wonderful clubs overseas. There's the MLS. I think of the World Cup. That's all I'm saying. It's international play, and then everything else is for me.

That's the way I think of it. It's all about the Premier League, dude.

I know a lot of people love the Premier League. A lot of people love Barcelona and Milan. To me, it's all about international play for soccer. That's all I care about.

I mean, I get it. Would you ever watch the NFL?

Which one was the NFL?

Would you ever watch the XFL?

I would.

You would watch the XFL, but you won't watch the MLS.

I didn't say I won't watch it. I'm just saying it wasn't the same level as seeing... Seeing Messi play for Miami is not the same as when he played in Barcelona or when he was at the world stage of the World Cup. That's all I'm saying. That's not the same.

He just won the World Cup less than a year ago.

Seeing Michael Jordan on the golf course is not the same as seeing Michael Jordan in a Bulls uniform, all right? Jason. Just being honest, it's not. You're seeing one person on the biggest stage possible. Who do you mean? You're seeing one person on the biggest stage possible with the biggest team in history. This is the best soccer player ever at the World Cup that's different than seeing Lionel Messi tearing it up in Kansas City. Just saying it.

Dude, it's the same. It's Lionel Messi. It's not the same.

It's not the same.

Dude, it was the same when Ibrahimovitch went fucking crazy LA. It's great. It's electric. He made the MLS fun to watch last year.

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

All right. Well, that's fair. I didn't think you were saying it like that at first, but I get it now. All right. Well, shout out to Messi. Shout out to Rio. And big shout out to the NFL. Expanding the game, getting into more countries. How about that? Hopefully, Brazil brings the juice, baby. I want to see how their crowd reacts to a little American football, man.

Dude, one of the things that was the coolest thing in Brazil, first of all, every time their national team plays, they consider it a national holiday. So the entire country shuts down. Then whenever you weren't... So some of the games are happening in Brazil at other places while you're just out and about. And they're so into soccer that the entire country would erupt to the point that you could hear a cheer happening from everybody in the city of Rio.

That's cool.

De Janeiro. You could hear that erupt the moment Brazil scored while you're just walking down the street.

That's so fucking dope.

Yeah, it was dope. It was so cool.

As well as- You're walking outside the stadium at all times.

No, Brazil just scored. Oh, yeah. I also saw Christ, the Redeemer.

Nice. Yeah. That was pretty cool. Pretty cool. Probably the coolest Christ statue.

I think it takes the Christ cake. Of statues.

Yeah, it's the biggest one.

We also got a couple of updates on the Chiefs' roster front. Defensive end, Mike Dana has just resigned with the Kansas City Chiefs. Dana recorded career high best in sacks and tackles for loss last season. I think it's a big signing for you guys. Very unheralded player, I think, nationally.

He just tough as nails. Just comes to work every single day with his fucking lunch pail, man.

He's got a little... I'm trying to figure out how to describe this to fans. But so when you have a third down package out there, you typically have players that are certain roles. Mike Dana fills that role of like, he can run a game with anybody. He can drop out into coverage. He can win one-on-one matchups at a surprising rate over a guard because he's got a level of athleticism that's unique when you're rushing over a guard. I think that he is a big part of allowing Coach Spags to be creative in these bliss packages. You'll see him do a lot of different things with Mike Dana. He's a guy that I was always assessing, like where he was at, because you would try and... Okay, because he was 51, right?

Yeah, 51. He's like that chest piece that a lot of it stems off of. Correct. So you try and get tells.

Some defenses call him the adjuster. So if he's over here, it's like, Okay, I'm pretty confident. Either they're running a game over here, there's a blitz coming over here.

Something's happening over there.

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

You, Mike.

And something we didn't get a chance to talk about on the show over the past couple of weeks, the Chiefs have also signed former European rugby league star, Luis Ries-Zamit. Ries-zamit, I have no idea if I'm pronouncing this right.

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

Is he French?

No, he's Welsh. He's from Wales. Look at this Devonair dude, man. He just got the big white teeth.

He's an attractive guy, I'm not going to lie.

His favorite movie is The Titanic. He loves music from Beyoncé and Adele. The guy is just as suave as it gets.

When I think of Welsh, I think of just... I think British people call him Posh. I think of these rich, upper class, just beautiful white people. And he is just the running stereotype of what I would think of with a Welsh person. I don't know if that's an accurate stereotype that I have in my head, but that's certainly what I think of. And he's helping continue that trend in in my mind. Well, there you go. I'm excited to see what this guy does. I don't know about you.

I'm pumped, too. And he said he's ready for the lateral whenever when we were texting. Oh, nice.

Listen, he played rugby, so he's going to be ready for that thing. Came in as the same program as Jordan Malata, the international player pathway program. So it won't cost you guys a roster spot unless you make 53.

I think he even went to IMG, too. I'm pretty sure he went to IMG. It's very similar.

One of the good things about this pathway is that it allows teams to take chances on guys without having to incur a roster spot. So the only way Luis will count against the Chiefs is if he makes a 53. I think that's how that works. Outside of that, they're basically guaranteeing- He gets two or three years to get him. Yeah. They're basically guaranteeing him a shot and potentially playing in the NFL, which I really hope this is a smashing success.

The more international players that you see get the chance means the more international-The game is growing. Yeah. And you start to see kids kids from those areas or kids from all over start playing the game a little bit more because one of their own from their backyard found a way to be on top of a sport and be a part of a very small percentage of players that make it. It's cool to see. I really just enjoyed the guy's energy so far. He's super excited about the opportunity that he's been given, knowing that not everybody gets these opportunities. He was an absolute star in the the European rugby league that he was in, the European Rugby League that he was in. So for him to make the jump and try and go from Wales to Kansas City, man, it's a pretty ballsy move and pretty cool movie to be making, man.

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

Lewis, he's down there working hard, man. It's going to be a humbling experience. Yeah, it's going to be a humbling experience at first. It's not easy to just make that jump. They're two completely different games, but he is an athlete, and that's what the Chiefs saw. He's a smart kid, he's a smart player. So he's going to be able to pick up the offense eventually, but it's going to be a tough few months for him here while he's getting acclimated to the NFL, where We've been doing this since we were kids, and we've been playing this game. So we're just going to have just those little instincts that we've built over the years that he has to start to catch up with. So the biggest advice I gave him was just try not to let it overwhelm you as much as it can and just know that everybody believes that you have the potential to be able to play. Just absorb as much as you learn as much as you can in the short time that you'll have before the season.

Listen, I'm excited. I know there's going to be a learning curve. I hope this guy takes the world by a fucking storm.

Me too, man.

It will be electric.

I love seeing it, man.

With a smile like that, this guy is... If he works out, he's going to be the most marketable player of all time. Look at that face.

Yeah, we got to love a debonair, young man.
