Transcript

Automatic transcript. May contain errors.

0:00Usually the conversation around here is about football. Today the topic is gas for one of the sponsors, specifically Mobile Supreme Plus Premium Gasoline. Let's start with the fact that Mobile Supreme Plus Premium is amazing. It keeps engines three times cleaner so engines perform better for better gas mileage. Just ask motorsports legend Shirley Cha-Cha Muldowney. She raced top fuel dragsters in the 70s, so she knows a thing or two about gasoline. She also knows a thing or two about the 70s, so if there are any questions about leisure suits, vinyl, or fondue, fire away. One might wonder why they call her Cha-Cha.

0:32Like, is it a family name or a marketing ploy? Or maybe she thought it sounded cool. It's very curious. Getting back to fuel, Shirley and the team highly recommend Mobile Supreme Plus Premium Gas because it keeps engines three times cleaner for better performance and gas mileage. By the way, Cha-Cha Muldowney, she drove a pink car. Mobile. Legendary. Three times cleaner compared to mobile regular gas and port fuel injected engines. Actual results may vary. Visit mobilefuels.com for details.

0:59Jason Kelce:The wrongs we must right. The fights we must win. The future we must secure together for our nation. This is what's in front of us. This determines what's next for all of us. We are Marines. We were made for this. welcome back to another episode of new heights i am not jason or shravis kelsey this is brandon my friend here is uh jake jake is that you jake here still here still still no baby still no baby jake is still here still no baby we are on baby watch and in the meantime we are back with another episode counting down uh our favorite 92 moments from new heights in the past four seasons let's just get right into it let's get right into it jake what do we got kick us off kicking off this one uh one of the more uh memed moments of the show's history this is oh yeah uh from from this past season as well very fresh fresh moment fresh break uh the guys were talking about jennings dunker and and i'll let the clip roll from here if you were going to design an offensive lineman in a laboratory this is what he would look like i mean look at this guy this is hilarious how many beers a day do you think this guy drinks?

2:15Jason Kelce:I don't know. He's probably by the case. He doesn't even count it by the beer. This is giving me an idea though. I don't think they should. You know how they do best in show for like dogs where they trot them out? They do it for horses too? Oh shit.

2:33Jason Kelce:Are you alright, Tripp? We're good. You're good? Fuck. fuck Taylor's gonna kill me

2:47Jason Kelce:the best in show got me best in show for the dogs best in show for the offensive line yeah

3:01I'll say this Travis breaking the chair was one of the most debated where do we rank this clips of any There was contention. There was a lot of contention around where this goes. Some people even said this is the number one. I got a number one request for this one. I don't agree, but I'm sure people listening to this are probably mad at us we did not rank this higher than 39. I will say it probably gets docked a little bit because we're doing this in an audio only format. Travis breaking the chair is much more of a visual moment, but it was still incredible and needed to be included on the list.

3:39I man, it might be in my top like things I've laughed at during recording. I anybody who thinks this was planned or scripted, get the fuck out of my face. This was so funny. We have not gotten an invoice for that chair, so hopefully everything's OK. I think maybe he put it back together. He's pretty handy. Yeah. Apologies to that living room set. Moving on to number 38 is a moment from our episode after our second live show in Cincinnati when we had to discuss Jason losing his Super Bowl ring in a pool, a kiddie pool of chili.

4:13Jason Kelce:There was an unfortunateness. As you guys 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 searching through the chili to try and find the sock that had my Super Bowl ring in it. We have still yet to find it. What did you expect to happen? I thought that we would just go in the pool and get the ring afterwards. You're such a f***ing imbecile. Greg got a metal detector. There's actually metal in Skyline Chili. There's traces of iron within the chili itself.

4:48Jason Kelce:So 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. 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 the most shame I've ever felt working on this show. Do you know why you feel shame? Because it's entirely your fault. Yeah. It is almost 100 % your fault. No, I'm telling this part because I am still mad about it. Jason wanted to put the ring in there. I said don't do that. For the record, I said no. That's dumb.

5:25And about an hour later, little Jets Jake here comes skipping around the corner of the Cincinnati Arena going, Jason just put the thing in the chili. It's so funny. And I went, you motherfucker. He went to you. He went to you to get a yes. And what did you do? What happened? So there are two reasons why this is my fault. Number one and the biggest one is that after it happened, Jason goes, Jake, get that ring for me. and I just did not hear him. Adrian like pulled up that footage and played it for me. It was just like, oh no, this is my fault. The other thing, and this is a bit of shared blame, but like the fact that we were like, oh, we're going to use two pools and one will have a fake ring and one will have the real ring when we could have just put them both in the same fucking pool looking for the one.

6:13You didn't have to put other rings. You could just have one ring and a sock in one of the pools. the effect of being covered in chili would have been fine. We didn't need it. Not our best gameplay moment. Can you hear that I'm still mad about this? We had to change our flights to come home later so we could dig into a goddamn pool of chili for an hour. Oh, wait. I don't know if we told this on air, but I threw up a lot. I think we did. The smell of the chili that had been sitting in the arena I'm going to do it again now. for 12 hours was rancid. and it's entirely Batman's fault. You're bringing back their memories.

6:52Let's move on. Next clip. Next clip. We don't need to rehash. Next one. Next clip coming from us from season one. A great family moment. This is Mama Kelsey roasting Travis.

7:03Jason Kelce:How disappointed were you when Travis was announced as a boy? No, no, I was not. I was hoping for a girl, but I got one. He's a fashionista. Oh!

7:20Jason Kelce:I see where this is going, you two. And a dancer. And a dancer. Thanks, Mom. Remember you guys were saying that I named him after the fad kid on Overboard? That's what I thought you named me as. Okay, there was another Travis on a soap opera. A soap opera? And I just had thought he was the most gorgeous man in the whole world, and I named you after him. Damn it. So you told Dad. Time out. Time out. I'm going to say, hold on. So you told dad that you liked the name Travis off of a fat little kid from Overboard, but secretly you had a man crush going on and that's who you named him after. That's so terrible.

7:55Jason Kelce:How could you do that? This was such a fun episode to do. Having both parents on prior to the quote unquote Kelsey Bowl was genuinely like, you know, kind of like a once in a lifetime thing to have on. and Donna's the best. I'm not going to lie to you. Donna brings the heat every time she's on. And did it feel to you like Jason had been waiting his entire life to ask that question? Yes. Do you wish I was a daughter? It felt like Jason only became a football player to make it to the NFL, to host a podcast with his brother so he one day could ask his mother on air, do you wish she was a daughter?

8:29Donna and Ed both have such great comedic timing. They're very funny. Like Donna, Donna knows she's being ruthless, but can play it off so innocently of like, no, it's fine. He's a fashionista. It's a fashionista. She's not wrong, though. Not wrong. Keep it moving to number 36 from the season one episode with Patrick Mahomes. This is Pat telling us a story of him cheating on his draft interview with the Chiefs.

8:56Jason Kelce:The first day that I met Coach Reed was at the facility. We had like the meetings, like the top 30 visits. So I was in there for like five hours. He's just going through plays, going through plays. And I'm going to give you all the inside scoop. Matt Nagy, who was the offensive coordinator then, he really liked me. So he gave me the plays they were going to go over the night before. So Coach Reed's finding out here live on New Heights Podcast. Oh, my gosh. Matt, Nagy, how could you? Let's go. Yeah. So, of course, I crushed the meeting. I stayed up all night studying those plays. It's like, man, this kid is locked in.

9:29Jason Kelce:We got ourselves a winner here. As the process went on, I got a feeling that I was kind of going up in the draft. I had a couple of teams that said they were going to draft me, and I mean, that's true. It's not like these coaches are making that up. I talked to them during the draft process, and they were like, hey, if you're there, we're going to take you. I kind of gave a little inside info to the Chiefs, and I was like, hey, if y 'all let me go anywhere below. At the time, I didn't know about the Saints, but I was like, if y 'all let me go 12 or below, I'm going to get drafted by someone else.

9:56Jason Kelce:You drafted yourself? So I gave the Chiefs a little bit of info on that because I wanted to be here. Anytime you've had somebody on, especially somebody like Pat, and they start a story with, I don't think I've ever told anybody this, but I get so excited. And then he reveals that I cheated on the draft, and I'm like, well, hold on here, Pat. I think we actually, you might need to go to a different team now. I'm not sure what happens. Like, legally, you are no longer a chief. Sorry. We recorded that, and then I spent, like, an hour and a half Googling to make sure he hadn't told that anywhere else.

10:27No, it was a moment of like, oh, is Packet, are the Chiefs going to get in trouble? Yeah. Did we just reveal a crime? Did he just confess to a crime on this podcast? And then the shithead producer of me is like, you got to air it. You got to let people know he cheated. Otherwise, how could they have figured out that Pat Mahomes is a good quarterback? Oh, they watched the tape. That makes sense. I also think that's the only way you get that story is if he's sitting right next to one of his favorite teammates in a situation where he's comfortable. Like that, that was truly a, we're a show that's a fly on the wall, recording these conversations that no one else can ever get.

11:05And it was, it was very, very cool for Pat to do that. Pat's a cheater. Sorry. Sorry, guys. Sorry to Texas Tech fans out there. Pat is a cheater. Confirmed. Moving on to number 35. This is also from the season one pre Kelsey bowl episode with, with Ed and Donna. This is Ed reacting to both of his sons playing in the Superbowl. Pops, who are you rooting for?

11:27Jason Kelce:Now that we're here, who are you rooting for? Who are you rooting for? Kelsey. Okay, but there's two teams, so. We'll be here all day if you're – well, then we're going to be here a long time while you try and get that. All right, we're in a battle to the death. One of us has to survive. Who are you rooting for? Both of you. Both of us? I don't – Both of us to fucking die? Both of us to die. Both of you to win. I'm going to go the Captain Kirk route. I don't believe in no-win situations. Gosh, that's good. That's from Star Trek. James C. Yeah, okay. Way over my head, for sure. Yeah, I know. God.

12:13Jason Kelce:Jason's going to lie to you and say he knows what he's talking about. Well, I know who Captain Kirk is. I don't remember the specific situation we're talking about here. No, this is from like 1967. Yeah, Jason, you don't know. This is from the TV show. This isn't from the movies. I'm not a Trekkie. Do you know what a Trekkie is, Trav? A Trekkie? Mm-hmm. I would say the cult that follows Star Wars. Star Trek. Oh, don't get Star Wars and Star Trek mixed up. See? Look at this guy. He's all over the place. Let me put my glasses on. All right. Next question. Thank you for getting us to move on. We know a lot of the media has been at you.

12:52Jason Kelce:to get you to talk about the Kelsey Bowl that is to come. So let's get these out of the way. Okay, go. We've already asked you who the favorite is, and you said me, which I love you for that. But who are you talking to first after the game, the winner or the loser?

13:15Jason Kelce:Probably the loser. Do you have any reason for that? Somebody's going to feel pretty crummy. Yeah. And I want to be with him initially. Yeah, Trav said that, you know, mom can't lose. But actually, mom is going to lose, and you're going to lose, right? There's going to be a winning and a losing? No? No, one of you guys are going to lose. You're not going to lose with one of us? You're only going with the winner? I have already won, dude. You've won what? I'm on the most popular podcast in sports. That's right. Number one sports podcast in the world. I have already fucking won. Okay. All the rest of this is just window dressing.

13:55Jason Kelce:All right. You're never going to get the answer you want if we're going to talk about winning and losing the Super Bowl. What a dad line. The story I want to tell with this, though, is how much they were amped up to we're going to get him. We're going to get the old man on this episode. And then the second Ed sat down and started talking about how proud he was of them, they both immediately melted. That is what I want. I want the world to know. They were like, we're going to grill our dad. We're going to grill him. And then he was like, I love you both and I'm proud of you. And they were like, oh, shit.

14:23Jason Kelce:Thanks, Dad. Thanks, Dad. Yeah. They were going to get him, though. They were ready. Folded. But no. I mean, one of those moments, though, that, like, can't be recreated and unexpected and wild to be on the other end of. Ed put it perfectly. He's like, I already fucking won. Like, yeah. Well, of course, it doesn't matter going into the Super Bowl. You've got your two boys playing against each other in the Super Bowl. And incredible. put your split jersey on you'll be all right all right moving on to number 34 uh an iconic moment and an iconic Jason line this is Jason talking about his game day fits the Eagles social team gave us a look at Jason's game day fit yeah shocker Jason's game day fit is the same fit he wears every day what the do I care about a game day fit this guy's game day ready baby some people go to play football and some people play dress up okay I don't like to play dress up I like to play football all right i'm not gonna go shopping color coordinating getting belts and shoes and all this just to go play football i don't get it for a second what is the point i don't get it okay maybe you can explain it to me because you do it my game day fit is my regular day fit too so i know exactly what you're talking about travis travis what you have not worn anything under a hundred dollars to a game your flip-flops were more than a hundred dollars those they got can openers on the bottom are you kidding me it's two for one special which fit was he going on about here just want to know so this was he had flip-flops on um the flip-flops right start start of flip-flops i want to say so uh this game day fit i i was almost confused ocean drive flip-flops And this is what Lane Johnson later dressed as Jason.

16:12Yeah, I remember what this is. Yes. So it was like early on in this show that we just kept getting questions about Jason and the flip flops. Yes. Everybody wanted to know the deal with the flip flops. And as he puts it, he's walking four fucking feet to the bus.

16:32And you know what I wanted to know about the flip flops. And then he explained it. I go, yeah, he's right. No, he's really not. He's not walking a mile to the stadium. He's getting on a bus. He's correct. It did lead to some moments where I would argue that Jason is playing dress up, but we can get into that later on a different show. Shots fired. I would argue he played a little dress up in that season, but that's just me. It might have been a season later where he literally dressed up as Doug. He sure did. That is a dress up. That is playing dress up. That is playing dress up for a football game.

16:59No, I think this was, sorry, which episode was this again? It's early though, right? I don't remember the episode. Season one. This was early in the run, though, which led to like it did lead to more questions about game day fits, which has been fun to discuss with them. We have game day fit merch. It's just a teacher. Game day fit merch. We have game day fit merch. Keep it moving to number 33. This is Jalen Hurts, our first real, real guest, first sit down episode guest of New Heights history. This is Jalen on Jason's Fast Snaps.

17:32Jason Kelce:He has a very unique way of snapping the ball. It's a very nice way of saying every quarterback that I've ever played with hates how I play football. Hey. Is it getting to you quick? It's up on you. Hey, Nolan Rye in the center right here. People always ask me, why is your stance so low? I'm like, I got to be in an athletic position. Day one sports to catch the ball when it's coming. Oh, yeah. I mean, because I remember my rookie year when I came in. I come in, I have a couple plays here and out throughout the game. and it was like a couple, like maybe a handful. It was like, I go in there and phone with a snack cause I just wasn't ready.

18:11Jason Kelce:Like I wasn't in the position. You know what I'm saying? Some of them were bad snaps. But, but yeah, I ain't tripping by the, he make all, he do his thing on air. You know what I'm saying? He do his thing, ain't tripping. I mean, really I'd snap it fast and I snap it fast cause I want my hand back.

18:29Jason Kelce:I got stuff to do. You gotta use these. It's in that 1940 where you can't use those hands. You can actually put them on somebody. Yeah, like, you know, my advantage of, like, my skill set is quickness, right? So, I want to get up on the guy quick. I want to be able to get into proper leverage because I'm not going to out-muscle nobody. So, just step fast. All right, man. I have no complaint. The plus side is you got more time to make a decision if it's in the right spot. Well, I try, like I said, I try and put myself like, if I have to squat a little lower to catch it, I ain't tripping by that.

19:05Jason Kelce:He always asks me like, how was that snap? Or if something, if there's like an inmate in the backfield or something like that, he's like kind of like, I know he's thinking about if he snapped it good or not. I'm like, you good, baby. Might have been me. He knows him. I'll be looking at him right away. Trying to figure out what happened. So yeah, this was our first sit down, dedicated episode to one specific guest. and I'm honestly still like, I was surprised at the time that we got Jalen. He had the time for it. He was the coolest man in the world. Like did not expect it, was incredibly nervous going into this, did not know.

20:58This is Prince William joining New Heights.

21:01Jason Kelce:Our guest today is the six foot three Prince from London, England.

21:27Jason Kelce:That is quite an intro guys Amazing We had to do a big for you Had to do a big So the behind the scenes tidbit I want to give for this clip Is just We got like a company Slack message That was like Brandon has been in touch with Kensington Palace We will be recording an episode on Friday with Prince William. And I texted Brandon immediately on the side. I go, what the fuck? What do you mean you've been in touch with Kensington Palace? Who else do you think he talks to? What do you mean? You don't reach out? Yeah. Yeah. My sometimes I get absurd text messages that say, hey, do you mind if we share your number with Kensington Palace?

22:12and I go yes that's fine with me go ahead and then you get a text that's from a London number and you just roll with it um should I be talking to the royal family no absolutely not nothing nothing about that is normal or or uh where I expected my life to go but it's very funny it is also very funny uh when did we this was part of that week where we did the live show on Monday we recorded with Tom Brady on Wednesday Wednesday and that was supposed to be the end of the season but I had to tell I was like hey guys uh heads up if you have time on Friday I think we could get Prince William for a little bit of time and they said what the fuck are you talking about and as I guess Jake put it I have been in touch with Kensington Palace um so no that is a bizarre absurd connection to have made.

Read the full transcript

23:01I still don't think it's real and look forward to many more of those. But by all means, share my number with whoever you want. It's out there now. Foreign dignitaries, just reach out to Brandon to get on the show. Please, we're going to be a little model UN by the end of our run here. Moving on to number 31. Going from Prince, Prince William. Going to English leadership to American leadership This is Travis on our show addressing his time at the White House where he attempted to address my fellow Americans.

23:35Jason Kelce:What were you going to say when you went up to the podium while President Joe Biden was distracted? Distracted.

23:46Jason Kelce:So I've been waiting for this. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It was the oldest trick in the book and Joe fell for it. It was, what's over there? I mean, come on. obviously the president at the podium it's iconic right sure it's iconic and how he usually addresses the nation to my fellow americans that's all i wanted to say dude that's all you wanted to say that's it i just wanted to go up there i shouldn't have started off with i've always wanted to do this if you would have started off with my fellow americans that would have been such a showstopper i don't think they would have kicked you off if somebody gets up to the podium him and says my fellow americans it's like a media like all right what's this dude about to say pat knew that i was uh yeah pat was on it i was in over my head man this is probably an all-time moment in new heights slack history yes this is probably a every like it was you know for those of you that use slack it is one of those where you just see a name typing you see the second name typing then it goes many people are typing and it was everybody going what the fuck did he just to trust about to get shot is trans going to jail um no this is a great moment and i love talking with him about it and i do feel like we set him up for this by i think we were daring him to find the treasure map in the white house because we're all you know big fans he uh we had asked him his plans the week before and he had said he was going to national treasure the white lighthouse and somehow topped that by just yeah listen you can't leave an open mic around him you can't do it if you leave a podium and a microphone and he's nearby he will address it he will have a speech ready uh all-time pat moment too all-time pat moment cubie awareness level 100 to pull him away his madden score should have gone way up just on awareness alone of like i gotta get him out of there he cannot girl moment no one of those you had to be there to go oh okay i guess we got next week episode figured out i guess we know what we're talking about yeah all right moving on to number 30 on our list uh a seminal moment in new heights i believe defining moment of new heights this is from the second or third episode ever i think it's the third one yeah and this is jason and travis talking about the ideal play to fourth and goal at the one the qb sneak rant Game on the line, fourth and one on the goal line.

26:11Jason Kelce:What play are you running? I'm running. There's only one right answer. Some type of rollout. There's only one correct answer, and that's because it is the highest percentage chance of getting one yard, and that's quarterback sneak. Quarterback sneaking it? It blows my mind how many teams do not run a quarterback sneak with one goddamn yard. What the f*** are you doing? It's a 92 % chance. There's not a play in the playbook that has a higher percentage chance of working than quarterback sneak. Listen, we had to get away from it because our quarterback's kneecap was in the side of his side of his leg.

26:48OK, I was looking at it like, what the somebody come get back. I mean, this is why our fans are the 92 percenters. This this this set off a this is like the you know, that meme of like the little domino leading to the big one. This yes, is the first domino that ends up with that play getting banned. right this is this is the moment that started with like probably that play getting banned somewhere down the future it was though for those of you that were listening at the time like this was a week where i believe there was two or three games that featured fourth and one from the goal of fourth and goal from the one and teams fucked it up and it was just an offhanded thing i was like hey guys do you see like three teams fucked up fourth and fourth and goal from the one and Jason goes did I and I'm like oh we got it here go ahead and then you know from from this was born the just QB sneak it what are we doing and he made up this stat on the fly that 92 percent of stat is made up on the fly we fact checked it later as we do with everything we fact checked it weeks later and he's fucking correct and the season went on it proved to be more correct I was gonna say it was the end end of the season they finished exactly with 92 percent which is fucking crazy but if jason does this rant and he goes it works 93 percent of the time our fans are the 93 percenters which does not does not roll off the tongue the way 92 percenters does so um incredible incredible no this man 30 maybe is too low for this one actually if it comes merch i feel like we got to move it anyways i think i think the rest of the list you could argue is seated too low.

28:31Listen, we're in bangers territory only. These are, these are, you will know all these by heart if you've been listening to the show. Moving on to number 29 from the live show in Los Angeles. This is Travis expanding his palate with airplane noises.

28:48Jason Kelce:Last time I was in LA, Jason and I went down the street and I was a very picky eater. and there was a bit that uh came out on new lights not too long ago about how i liked airplane noises when i ate yeah it's kind of fucked up actually like i was a child a child getting fed food so we have a fun clip for you here i feel like and we won't use this in the episode but i feel like taylor has definitely expanded i gotta use it we can fucking use it there's nothing wrong with that i feel like have you grown up he's more adventurous of food. Yeah, I'm not trying to act like one of the men when I'm around her and eat foods I haven't tried before.

29:28Jason Kelce:Yes. She does the little airplane noises. I like it.

29:33Jason Kelce:Well, what if it's an airplane and it's going

29:39Jason Kelce:zoom and it's landing. That one's for you, Brandon. Land it safely. Again, absurd, absurd text that we received. I've never been bullied by two more famous people. And you know what? Happy for it. I'm glad we're helping our boy out. I'm sure the Brandon moment is top 30. I'm not involved in this. I just. He says that one's for you, Brandon. He did say that, didn't he? That's funny. Yeah. Well. Flipped off the camera. I was actually. I don't give you your flowers. I mean, again, it's a surprising video to receive someday. It's very funny. It's very funny to receive. This doesn't happen without your joke when we were recording with Kylie.

30:20So good for you. Nailed that joke. Nailed that joke. Actually, you know what? doesn't happen without Kylie. Yes, yes. I'm more emboldened to talk shit when Kylie's there because I feel like I got cover. I feel like she'll cover for me. I feel like she'll help. And once and for all, Travis proved he's not a picky eater. He's not a picky eater. So the joke is dead. I actually, I'll tell this story. I got a lot of shit for that. People were like, how dare you speak to him that way? And I was like, my friend? You know I know him, right? We talk shit to each other constantly. they're like who do you think somebody was like who do you think you are to speak to him and i was like i don't know producer of the podcast i don't fucking know like it's kind of who i think i i don't know who am i and it was very existential existential like 15 minute crisis for me very much like yeah who am i to speak to travis that way fuck um no but i do feel more bold and to talk to talk spicy when when kylie's there kylie will help kylie's my dog she'll help me out moving on number 28 uh one of my favorite football stories that's ever been told on this podcast good uh matthew stafford talking about uh aaron donald i'll just leave it there matthew stafford talking

31:31Jason Kelce:about aaron i'll never forget and he's crazy in the weight room oh i like the rock came in and worked out with him one time and there's a night fighting yeah i mean he's like he's a maniac in weight room right and uh i'll never forget this was 21 or 22 maybe yeah we had like a make-a-wish kid who had like a year before had been like hey i want to my dream is to go like be with anna novel for a day kind of thing and thankfully this kid at that point had kind of beaten the odds and had beaten the cancer that he had i believe and like was really on the mend and it was really cool like he came in and you're like oh man this guy's like doing good right high school kid like bigger kid uh like love to play football and ad was like cool come work out with me right and i'm like i'm walking by i'm like yo what is about to go down yeah right and i look over and like i'm over there doing like banded something and like 30 minutes in and ad's just ripping curls out and this and this next thing you know this kid is puking in the trash can can you please like have a little kuth a little understanding like You got what he wanted.

32:35Jason Kelce:You want to be AD? You want to be AD? I've got chemo for months, AD. I'm like, God, can we just relax on the bicep curls for a little bit? It's like, how many do we do until we throw up? You know what I mean? It was just like unbelievable. I was like, this guy has no, I mean, the motor just never stops, man. It was incredible. Stafford is a Hall of Fame level guest and player. um we went into this one like there's a he tells a story in a different podcast about a guy he played high school football with jake felt if you have not seen that clip go watch it's very funny he's a great storyteller we went to this being like man we gotta we we want a moment we want to get a story like we want to get a story from stafford and when he said have you heard the story of aaron donald to make a wish kid everybody in the room leaned forward that was where we went no we have not sir go ahead and god damn does it deliver aaron donald god bless you when he said have some couth i've lost it he's the first and last guy to use the phrase couth on the show we should we should is that a should we just make a shirt merch have some couth all right we'll wait hold on wait sorry one last story about uh this uh because social media brings the world all together the fucking kid who worked out with aaron donald saw the story and like it became a whole thing the nfl like got videos of him and like legally might need to check on this kid no and he he's doing great he was playing he like played football i want to say uh i i'm not even going to name where he went because i don't remember but he's playing football in college and uh it all came full circle in a very happy way glad to hear the kids doing well because it was great as they were telling this story the kid is not at all like how i pictured him when they were telling this no i got really concerned and had to look it up i was like oh okay we're fine leave that in i thought aaron donnell was making like 110 pound kid pass out i had the same image i had the same image of like oh no like uh-oh no this is fine it was fine it's a good story it's a good story we had kuth um moving on to number 27 this is from season one this is i I believe an episode we did in person with the guys.

34:57By we. I was also not invited. That's right. You weren't there. That's right. You weren't there. That's crazy. Should have been there. This is the guys on signing babies.

35:05Jason Kelce:What is the weirdest thing you guys have autographed? I don't really have anything that weird. I've been asked to sign a baby. That's pretty weird. Kids come up to me. Hey, can you sign my arm? Like, yeah, I got to get parental consent. But the parent was the one that actually asked me to sign their baby. Where'd you sign the baby? I didn't sign them. I did not put a Sharpie on a baby. So you refused the baby. If that baby would have went to the hospital, I would have failed. What would it have gone to the hospital for? Lick its hand? Lick its arm? Isn't Sharpie bad for skin? You're a dad. You should know these kind of things.

35:32Jason Kelce:My babies have ingested lots of things way worse than Sharpie. The first baby, you drop the pacifier on the ground, and you got to pick it up, put it in boiling water, make sure it's completely sanitary before you put it back in the kid's mouth. You know what happens now with Elliot? That thing could be under the couch living its life. If she's crying, I'm picking it up, giving it the wipe off, and it's going right in the mouth. All right. I'll sign a baby. Give me a baby. I'll sign it. This entire time, I'm thinking I'm doing the right thing. Now I'm going to **** for not signing that baby. Yeah, you are.

36:02Yeah. I mean, people literally brought baby dolls to the link because of this episode, which is incredible. It's actually insane the amount of children, fake children, that we are asked to sign now. Like, you go anywhere, there is a baby or a fake baby ready with a Sharpie next to them. we really didn't look into how bad sharpies are for babies so i'll let you know maybe we should i'm assuming it's fine jake i was gonna say they got they gotta sign my kid if you gotta sign your kid what are you going forehead oh am i signing the kid i thought when we all sign when we we all sign your baby what are we doing forehead arm stomach forehead forehead for sure i think it's up to the signer well well you get the baby we'll get the baby we'll figure it out no uh tempo clip in the New Heights universe.

36:49All right, so this next clip, number 26, might be our most viewed clip on YouTube of all time, which is crazy given all the other clips that's gone out. But this is, I don't think her first appearance on the show, but definitely one of the more memorable ones. This is from season two, when Jason's kids crash the party to say hi to Uncle Trap.

37:11Jason Kelce:Wyatt asked if she could say hi. What? Come on. Yes. look at you what's up girly how are you doing good how was gymnastics what are you wearing tell uncle trev what you're wearing a leotard oh very nicely said how about those pink shoes from the game that was fun huh yeah can ellie say hi why yeah love you bye she's so adorable Ellie. Hi. Hi. How you doing? You're smiling big. You're making my day. All right, girly. You're going to go take a shower? Yeah. Nighty. Oh, you want to show Uncle Trav your glasses? She's styling. Movie star. Oh, I love it. I'll be up in a second. We only got two ad reads left.

37:59Jason Kelce:All right, let's make these ad reads last as long as possible. got hit with a shoe just adorable no i mean we it i i you know we we always talk about like the authenticity of the show and hey that's what it looks like when you're trying to podcast with with four children that is what it looks like sometimes they run through the background and you go out and i'll bring them in what do they got they got some takes but who's the most over to qb's this season ask them i do think i mean like the guys have talked about historically how like prior to the show is tough for them to like, you know, find time to talk to each other like during the season.

38:34And now they have designated time every single week. And like every single week, there's truly moments in the show where it's just like, we stopped doing the show and they just get to like have a conversation with their brother. And we, and it's also like, Oh yeah, a bunch of other people are listening to it. Hi, there's eight of us. Do you mind if we use this on social media? All right, let's keep it moving. Oh man. Number 25 needs no introduction from the seasons.

38:58Jason Kelce:three finale this is pretty man we watched the 1990s classic pretty woman yes sir what score do you think it gets on the feminism chart this is what there so there were a lot of people saying this movie is very misogynistic i'll be honest i am not good at this topic i don't know i think the only way to gauge it is to flip the script i think we need to make pretty man pretty man And we need to have a CEO billionaire woman be so high class that she doesn't know where she's going. She doesn't know how to drive a car. You're living pretty man right now.

39:42Jason Kelce:You are pretty man. You're living your own Julia Roberts straight now. I'm wearing nothing but a tie when Taylor comes home.

40:00Jason Kelce:Oh my gosh. That's funny.

40:10Jason Kelce:You can't beat it, man. That's why me and Julia Roberts, when I met Julia, it felt like we were the same person. so cool she spoke to me in this movie holy shit all right now it's all i'm just the nfl stripper that's it i'm just an nfl hooker man i mean i'm the one who's stripping over at the ocean drive i guess when the light bulb it's for jason the moment it clicks it clicks because i was like a half a tick behind him trying to type it in the doc but i he he beat me to it he got there quicker of could you describing travis yeah oh we're describing travis i mean this is an incredible moment incredible moment i'm glad that they both got there um no and he's officially pretty man now so officially officially legally legally all right coming in at number 24 uh we had i think like the original version of this list we had like 15 different clips from this episode because it is legitimately one of my favorites uh but we narrowed it down to just this one to make the final list uh because it was iconic and it was a great in-person episode this is julian edelman talking about randy moss what's randy telling you just be bigger and faster than everybody and jump up and guess you're like i just remember randy Hey Jules, hey Jules.

41:37Jason Kelce:He used to call me Edelnut. Edelnut? Hey Edelnut, get my hot tub about 103 and get my Gatorade. That's where we used to have the metal tubs. Yes. You know you have metal tubs and hot tub? Yes. He never wanted to go on the regular hot tub. He had to have his own shit with the, he had to have this, it was like menthol, rubbing alcohol in there, fucking salt. And he'd go, Edelnut, go get my towel, I'm gonna buy my Gatorade and make that hot till about 103, 102, don't fuck it up. This one time. What a legend. Yes, sir. This one time, Randy, it was like the day before Christmas and we had to work, we had a game on Christmas or something and Randy was talking to his mom and I just walked by, I was like, hey, Randy, tell Mama Moss, I said, you know, Merry Christmas.

42:24He goes, Edelnut, when I'm talking to my motherfucking mom, you shut the fuck up.

42:32Jason Kelce:i literally went like this i looked at and i fucking just i walked away i was so scared i was a rookie he's like don't you fucking talk to me when i'm talking about mom julian should do voiceover work like his impersonations of guys are just incredible yeah he did he did belichick on this one too it was really good yeah and and he i think he did Tom at one point and maybe Gronk. These are my favorite kind of stories. These are like when we were thinking of what to ask Edelman, we were you know, you kind of like do the game of like connecting him to other big name players and like I think the light bulb went off like, oh shit, he played with Randy Moss.

43:13What the fuck was that like? And sometimes the easiest, the best question is the easiest one of like, what the fuck is Randy Moss like? And he delivers and you go, oh, he's exactly how I hoped he would be. and it shut the fuck up edel nut has become a thing i like say out loud well and uh uh like you you still see like julian edelman will post a video and like in his comments there'll be people being like edelna edelna and it's like that's i don't know yeah i don't know if we cursed you with that or not but like i mean i think it was randy it was randy yeah randy god randy's the best all right coming in at number 23 uh this is from season three we have been waiting a while to get this Ohio kid on the show and he delivered.

43:56Just a kid from Ohio. Kid from Akron, LeBron James. LeBron James.

44:01Jason Kelce:Have you seen this tweet from 2015? LeBron is 30. This f***ing won't go on for much longer. Thank God. Yes, I saw that tweet throughout all of my 30s. That's too funny. And I laughed at it so hard every single time. You put it up in the locker and you just put it right there? I want to know what's funny. When I turned 40, the same guy said LeBron turned 40. I don't know why I'm much longer. That's fucking gold, man. So good. So good. Look at that. That's so good. Oh, my goodness. He's going to be really upset when I turn 50. No doubt. I mean, it was insane to talk to LeBron. I, we knew of this tweet.

44:47Like, there's a million LeBron memes, right? we had all of them on a page at one point we genuine like what if he fucking hates this tweet yes very scared what if we're like hey have you heard of this tweet where they think you should not play basketball anymore and he's like man fuck you for bringing that up we're like oh sorry we were a little concerned he would not think it was funny but it turns out he's got a great sense of humor and he's very funny and uh it was i love the response we got from like nba twitter of like, holy shit, they asked him about the tweet. I was like, yeah, I'm with you guys.

45:21I always wanted to know what he thought of it. He also knew the follow-up. The fucker can't go on after 40 or whatever. Yeah, I mean, shout out. Oh, LeBron knew it. And the crazy thing is that it keeps becoming more and more relevant because he just keeps playing at a high level. Every year, keep updating that tweet. This fucker can't continue much longer is a great phrase. Wonderful phrase. And I'm so happy that he found it as funny as we did. Coming in at number 22, all-time moment. Oh, man. This maybe should be higher. Also from the season three finale. Season three finale was a wild record.

45:57I don't know what we were all on that day, but we should probably get that back in our systems. But that was a wild record. Honestly, we were all high from talking to Baker Mayfield. We were all juiced up having to talk to Shake and Bake, and we all went nuts. Anyways, this is Bambi. Move your tits. There was a report.

46:13Jason Kelce:I'm not saying it's true or not. I have no idea of whether it's true. He resigned, Jason. It's on ESPN. There was a report out there that they were spending, they were using the company card of the NFLPA on strip club visits and holding business meetings there. And apparently you can't do that. It's against company policy. How do you feel about that, Jason? Do you think you should be able to? All right. Here's the official thing. All right. This is from ESPN, a solid establishment. No few people there. Former NFL PA leader Lloyd Howell Jr. resigned after an outside investigator hired by the union.

46:50Jason Kelce:So somebody with inside the union ratted him out. Man, that's fucked up. All right. Received documents this week showing he charged the union for two visits to strip clubs. Including a $738.82 car service that took him from the airport to one of the clubs. That's an expensive car service, right? How much is a car service? he got he was the kind of limousine the car's first stop was at a nearby miami gardens address the receipt shows only one other stop nearly eight hours later so why are you putting this on the company card what are we doing the employees googled the Miami Gardens address and discovered it was Tootsie's Cabaret, which I've not been, but I have heard great things of that establishment.

47:44Jason Kelce:It's a 76 ,000 square foot venue that bills itself as the world's largest strip club in quotes, full nude, number one rated. I mean, it sounds like a good establishment. I mean, to be fair, I've, I've heard the, I've heard the wings are good there. Like everyone loves the wings there during this year's NFL P summit on On February 21st, Howell accompanied two union employees to the Magic City Strip Club for an outing that included$2 ,426 in charges, including cash withdrawals ranging from$200 to$525 from a club ATM. Sources and documents show they used two VIP rooms. Well, I mean, the VIP rooms is where you get me because, listen, this is the only thing I don't know.

48:26Jason Kelce:Was it being used for business expense or not? If it was being used and business was happening, I don't see what the issue is. I mean, they're conducting business, right? what was the business i know nfl pa business i don't know what the business was it says it right here the strip club outing was used the expense report the purpose of the strip club outing player engagement event to support and grow our union i'm going to be honest there's not a lot of engagement that happens with the players union it's hard to get guys to go to meetings and get involved having a meeting at tootsie's might is not a bad idea to improve engagement you're probably going to get more players take them to the VIP room so you can get their attention well you can't have too much business if you're in a one-on-one VIP room it's a bold idea to create more engagement by Mr.

49:15Jason Kelce:Howell and it backfired

49:23Jason Kelce:you gotta use the reference what you said earlier Applebee's or the strip club It doesn't matter which one I mean You go to Applebee's it's a business expense You go to the strip club and you get wings I don't see why it's much different We're all 21 here right But I don't have a VIP room at the Applebee's Where you sit there for All by yourself

49:51Jason Kelce:This can't bode well for Upcoming contract negotiations With the league it's funny that this is what this is what the players pay for this is like he's using the NFLPA's money for these expenses and it's just it's hilarious that you know the Madden checks go there we pay our dues to the union and this is what it's being used for wings it's being used for wings in a VIP room I'm just saying also player engagement. You saw it right there on the report. There was company morale is a big thing. The PA needs to improve their morale. There's not a lot of excitement when you talk about collective bargaining agreements.

50:40Jason Kelce:So, I don't know. I mean, you have some wings. They might not have even known Tootsie's was a strip club. Maybe they thought they were going to a restaurant. I don't know. Who knows what they knew. I mean, they knew when they walked in. They knew before they walked in. Yeah, it's not good. It's not good. If they actually were, if they actually got work done. This is so bogus. I mean, what if they had like laptops out and like were like crunching numbers at the fucking table? They were crunching numbers. They were crunching numbers and in between the numbers they were going over to the ATM. Excuse me, could you put this up on the display?

51:21Jason Kelce:Bambi, if you could please move to the side. I just want to show that guaranteed contracts is a potential for the future of the NFL. Bambi, lower. Don't lower. Lower, Bambi. Lower. Lower. All right. You can see right here from my graph that if we just hold out for two to three weeks, that's X amount of money that the NFL is going to incur in expense. Bambi, move your tits. I'm trying to show my graph.

52:07Jason Kelce:that word have I gone too far with this oh gosh oh gosh oh my gosh

52:24Jason Kelce:somebody please give bambi 200 dollars so i can get her off the stage and show my ground

52:33Jason Kelce:we don't know what's going on in that building it's so ridiculous it's pretty absurd it's not good the thing about this moment the behind the scenes story here we hopped on the record i believe jason said hey there's not a lot of football in the show and we said well it's fucking june and then somebody chimed in with well did you see that story about the nfl pa and the strippers and he goes oh boy did i well actually i think it's about by the time he got to the phrase good idea i'd hit the record button was like okay we this is a hold on jason repeat everything you just said to me please um god damn it baby just think he he could not have picked a better name for the hypothetical stripper at tootsies i gotta see my chart bammy move your tits incredible yeah in incredible shout out lloyd howell shout out uh pablo torre for the excellent recording actually that was from pablo wasn't it yeah that led us to that yeah uh very cool and then our so i'm a big fan of pablo's podcast our clip then made it into a future episode of pablo and i was like that's we're big j journalists now that's very cool we broke news we broke news that nfl players would actually prefer nfl pa meetings to be at strip clubs all right coming in at 21 uh maybe one of the best stories ever told in the show man we we knew we wanted to get this teammate on for a long time we got him on in season two and i mean i'll let him tee it up but the way travis tees up this clip is just so perfect this is chris jones talking about the combine where we had here if we're sticking to it it's the uh combine nice combine man i'll tell you what you had one of the most electric combine moments I think has ever gone on national television, man.

54:37Jason Kelce:Let's just talk about it. Yeah, let's talk about it, big guy. How about 40-yard dash? I'll be honest with you, bro. I was so big on being different from everyone. Everybody was wearing the fucking long tights. I was like, you know what? I'm not going out there and copying everybody. I'm going to wear the short tights. I didn't realize they was boxers, bro. I didn't realize these boxes, bro. Honest to God. You know they put you in the trains when you stand in the combat. The rooms are like little train cabins that I can barely see, so I'm just grabbing them. I'm like, I'm going to put these on.

55:11Jason Kelce:I'm going to run in these. Fucking get out there. Everybody is looking crazy. I'm like, let's do it. Oh my gosh. Well, it made you faster, man. It made you so fast, you tripped over your feet. Oh my gosh. Tripped over that third leg.

55:32again this was another moment like the lebron thing i was like we have to ask him but i don't know i don't know the appropriate way to ask him when your junk fell out at the combine what was that like but like in my head i'm like that's kind of how i want to ask him but i don't i don't i don't know if that's professional chris jones incredible storyteller incredible storyteller incredible storyteller incredible voice like chris jones voice telling this story telling that story is we need chris jones like narrate children's books yeah chris jones all-timer i'm so glad that this was a moment he was willing to talk about and that it was as funny to everybody as it was to those of us that do remember when it happened um but yes keep it moving to oh god number number 20 man this is a guest that may maybe on my mount rushmore people i've ever been in the room with This is Bill Murray talking about Roadhouse.

56:26Jason Kelce:We recently reviewed Roadhouse, the original Patrick Swayze film. Yes. There is a legend out there that you used to call the husband of Kelly Lynch, who plays Dr. Clay, anytime a particular scene came on with Patrick Swayze on the television. Is this rumor true? One of the highest things I ever.

56:55Jason Kelce:had to do was to call a friend.

57:03Jason Kelce:And at a late hour, I mean, very, very

57:15Jason Kelce:and not without some back and forth, should I, shouldn't I, should I, shouldn't I? And as a friend, I did not identify myself, but I just said, hey, as a friend, I think you should probably turn on TBS right now.

57:48Jason Kelce:Because that son of a bitch, Pat Swayze.

57:53Jason Kelce:Slam it to your wife.

58:01Jason Kelce:Oh my gosh.

58:06Jason Kelce:Swayze, may he rest in peace. He did a lot of wonderful things. A beloved guy, but that was wrong what he did.

58:17Jason Kelce:Dude, that's why you're the legend. God, that's so good.

58:26Jason Kelce:Thank you for this gold, man. He's wrong.

58:34Jason Kelce:He's wrong. Are we done now? I've told you this, but I've always heard it. Bill Murray genuinely is a person that I was terrified to be in the room with. I just am like, that's Bill Murray. If this guy doesn't like me, it will break me as a person. If he does not think I'm cool or important. Like I will, I will shatter and have to go do something else in my life. He did suggest I get fired though. He did. He, I also, my, I mean, we were out at a hoopie for this, which was very cool. Shout out to hoopie. Didn't get to play, got to look, but not touch. He walked in the room and we were, it was immediately like there was a presence in the room.

59:14I introduced myself to Bill and then I get, you know, we've mentioned Greg throughout these episodes. Shout out to Greg. Greg being the man that he is was trying to make sure that Bill met all the people and was like, oh, Bill, this is Jake. He works on the show. And I just introduced myself to him like five minutes earlier. And he goes, oh, Jake, we go way back. I was like, yeah, that's so awesome. He's he's he's every he's getting to like work and I putting work in quotes here. getting to work with bill murray is like one of those like it's a thing i'll remember forever because you know that's fucking that's stripes that's ghostbusters that's saturn live that's like that's i bill like me he was cool bill was cool an icon very cool absolute icon and and we we had heard the roadhouse story before and knew that it was something he's talked about but i mean But him telling it.

1:00:09Him telling it. Crushed it. Crushed it. Crushed it. Perfect. All right, moving on. We're inside the top 20 now. Speaking of icons, going to number 19. This is Leonardo DiCaprio and Benicio Del Toro talking about their stage names.

1:00:27Jason Kelce:I grew up watching Michael Vick, and it was just like a holy shit moment for me that I'm actually playing football with this guy. When you guys first got going, like, were there any holy shit I'm on set with X or I'm doing a movie here or I'm a part of something. Like what were your guys kind of holy shit moments for acting? Like holy shit in a positive way or like a holy shit. It could be either. It could be either. Whatever stands out. It could be either. I had some negative ones too. I probably had more negative ones than I had positive ones. I remember auditioning when I was very young. I was like a child actor.

1:00:58My stepbrother was an actor and there were these acting agents that would line you up like cattle and they just go. And I was a break dancer. or I'd breakdance for like money on the streets. So I'd like the step haircut.

1:01:12Jason Kelce:Oh, let's go. It was like, yes, yes, no. And they look at me, no. And then a yes, yes, yes. And they all got agents. And I remember saying to my dad, this is horrible. This is, I went back and they did it again. Yes, yes, no, no. And I just remember my dad thinks, you know, someday you're going to have your time, son. Just keep at it, keep at it. And then, you know, I got to do, oh, and then another thing that was funny. I first got my, these aren't holy shit. I'm just thinking about my whole. No, this is great. This is holy shit to me. This is holy shit for those ages. Those ages right now. Like, what the fuck were we thinking?

1:01:44Yeah. And then they gave me my. Remember your first photos that you. Oh, yeah. Headshots. Yeah. And they said, your name is too. I finally got an agent. They said, your name is too ethnic. I go, what do you mean? It's Leonardo DiCaprio. They go, no, too ethnic. They're never going to hire. Your new name is Lenny Williams. I said, what is Lenny? I was 13, 12, 13. I said, what is Lenny Williams? We took your middle name and we made it your, now you're Lenny. And my dad saw his photo, ripped it up, and he said, over my dead body. And I said,

1:02:17Jason Kelce:really? Or Benny Dell. Benny Dell? Benny Dell. Benny Dell. Mr. Dell. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Benny Dell. Lenny Williams, Benny Dell. Benny Dell, let's go. This podcast would not be the same with Lenny Williams and Benny Dell. I'd tell you that right now. That WWE intro would not sound the same. Imagine being the idiot who told Leonardo DiCaprio he needed to change his name to be successful in Hollywood. Lenny Williams is such a weird, like, sounds like a 1970s, like, pitcher. Lenny Williams doesn't have an Oscar. I'll say that. Leo should have a few more, in my opinion. Both, you know, man, I don't even know, like, where to talk about the behind the scenes of this.

1:02:57because like they you know you don't know what to expect when you are talking to two people that you sort of know you know like leonard capra's been famous since i was like 10 years old like it's it's very bizarre to then be like hey are your headphones working like it is i don't i'm like fifth grade me would not believe that me and titanic are hanging out right now like it would It's, you know, it sounds like a lie. And I think we can add Benicio Del Toro to like the list of coolest people we've ever talked to. For sure. Chill. The chillest man alive, Benicio Del Toro. Keep moving to number 18.

1:03:37Man, season one finale. A lot in the season one finale happened. Big episode for us as people. This is Jason telling the greatest training camp joke he's ever heard.

1:03:48Jason Kelce:You guys do anything rookie-wise? We've never been big hazing. The biggest thing that we do that we started doing with Doug was like a rookie singing portion. It's turned into just singing, though. It used to be a talent show. You could do whatever you want. And that's what it was when Doug was first there. We had a fullback who did the best joke I had ever heard when Doug Peterson was the coach. He gets up there in the middle of a team meeting, and he's like, all right, there's these three guys, and they're sitting around a table. The first guy comes up thinking to himself, he says, you know what?

1:04:11Jason Kelce:I'm pretty fast. I think I'm so fast. I think I'm the fastest man in the world. So he goes out. They time him in the 40-yard dash, and he sends his time in to the Guinness Book of World Records. The second guy says, you know what? I'm tall. I'm so tall. I think I'm the tallest man in the world. So they get the measuring tape up. They measure them. They take a picture and they send it off to the Guinness Book of World Records. The third guy says, you know what? I got a small d**k. It's so small. I think it might be the smallest d**k in the world. They take out a ruler, measure it, take a picture, send it off to the Guinness Book of World Records.

1:04:39Jason Kelce:They're sitting around a few weeks later and the results come back. The first guy opens the letter. He's excited. I did it. I'm the fastest man in the world. Second guy rips open the letter. I did it. I'm the tallest man in the world. Third guy getting excited, opens his letter and he says, who the is Doug Peterson?

1:04:59I vividly remember people were slacking during this moment. Like, where's Jason going with this? And I knew where the punchline was. Like general punchline, I knew where it was going. And I was like, just let him go. He's cooking right now. Yes. I had heard versions of this joke before, and there was some nervous energy around like, wait, what is he going to say here, and can we air it? And I was like, no, no, this is like an old school joke. We're going to be okay. I've heard this, and then I will give Jason absolute credit. The delivery of this is perfect. That was the perfect cadence, rhythm, delivery of that punchline.

1:05:40Maybe one of our most popular clips. maybe up there for sure incredible and i will say i think the part that gets lost for a lot of people is when jason tags it with and i think we caught him anyways

1:05:53travis goes is that guy okay he made the theme just oh no i think we caught him a lot of people forget that that's like the tag of that of that story it's that guy he did make the team i don't know i i legitimately don't know if we include that in the social clip but a lot of people pointed out that Jason started with, we used to have a fullback. And it's like, yeah, we used to have a fullback.

1:06:17Oh, man. All right, moving on to number 17. This is kind of the culmination of iconic moments on this show. But we had already heard one side of this story, but we needed to get the other side on our show. So coming in at number 17, this is Taylor talking about her first impression of meeting Jason.

1:06:37Jason Kelce:I'll always remember meeting you for the first time, Jason. What was that first impression like? Did you know I was told to be on my best behavior? I didn't know what you were told, but I did know that one of the first things I saw was like, you say to Kylie, I was just shotgunning beers with the Bills Mafia and I really want to go through one of the fire tables. Yep. I want to jump through it. I want to jump onto the flaming table. And she goes, okay can we not do that right now and since then i've heard her say that exact thing to your four-year-old about like mommy i want to throw this pudding on the wall wouldn't that be fun can we not do it right now that's a common phrase and then i swear to god jason you flew through the window at light speed.

1:07:34Jason Kelce:I've never seen someone so big move so fast. And all of a sudden, like you're out there in the snow, you're handing me children through the window. I was trying to, that was not my best moment. It was, I think it actually was. She's like, Taylor. I was like, you want to see Taylor? I got you. Let's go.

1:07:54Jason Kelce:Whose kid is that? Jason? Don't know. Do you know where this kid came from? I think it was your best moment. And I think I'm very lucky to have gotten to see This whole series of events that led to us getting to ask these questions is bizarre. We will talk about this moment more in a later clip. But man, whose child is that?

1:08:22Sorry, this is just turning us into laughing about stuff we've already laughed at. But you enjoy the ride. You guys can enjoy the ride. Number 16. We are almost at the end of this little countdown here. Number 16 from our season one live show in Kansas City. Jason paying off the Super Bowl bet.

1:08:39Jason Kelce:Travis and I made a little bet. Just a little one. Just a little one during the playoffs. We got a clip. This video you're about to see has ever been seen. It was made before our recording, before the national, the NFC championship game and the AFC championship game. Let's play it right now. Hey, this is a special video that we're doing. This is before the conference championship week. Travis and I are going to make a bet. We talked about it last week. We talked about doing the Big Yeti into the chest chair. One of our fans had a great mention on Twitter that you guys should obviously make the bet whoever makes it further in the playoffs.

1:09:15Jason Kelce:The bet is whoever makes it longer in the playoffs, the other person has to shave his chest, which obviously, if we each win this next game. I want to switch this bet because I don't think it's as fun if you get Big Yeti shaved in your chest. I think it's better. Hear me out on this. If you end up winning the bet, I'll shave Big Yeti in my chest. But if I end up winning and I go further,

1:09:39Jason Kelce:you have to shave both your beard and your hair and let me sign your fucking forehead like a baby. Like a baby! Yeah! You have to turn into a baby and I sign your forehead. I will shave my hair, but I'm not shaving my beard. Dude, beard and hair. What do you mean? I don't want to shave my beard because I don't like the way my face looks, and I'm going to keep my beard.

1:10:07Jason Kelce:Is face signing not enough? Having Sharpie on my face with your signature on it is not enough? No, it's not enough. It will make you better if I sit here shirtless with your signature across my chest and a diaper on? All right, you throw the diaper on. It's even. Fair game. I'm a bearded baby. I was so confident. Bearded baby. I signed the bearded baby. The bet is in. Shake on it. Shake on it.

1:10:33Jason Kelce:Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you the first ever bearded baby!

1:10:45Jason Kelce:Diver! Diver! Diver! Diver! Diver! Diver! Come on, ladies and gentlemen! Let's hear it!

1:10:58Jason Kelce:I'm about to get punched in the face right now.

1:11:06Jason Kelce:This is the first time I've ever signed a baby ever in my life. Screw all of this!

1:11:23okay so this was incredible for several reasons go ahead one is that uh there was no like no one needed to do this like we've recorded this but we had we had never published that there was a bet no one was like calling on jason to do it he's like i gotta do it um and then i just vividly remember uh being backstage at the live show and walking into a room and seeing bald jason in a diaper before he had put on any of travis's clothes and i was like when he reveals this people are going to lose their minds we hadn't done any huge like i guess we'd never done a live show before we'd never really done like a big stunty thing yet on the show and when he's like oh no like i said it i have to do it i'm gonna shave my head put on a diaper again to jake's point i was like you don't have to we really don't like we don't do that and he goes oh no oh no i have to and then it's listen he's full send all the time he commits to the bit and the crowd screaming as he does it is incredible the fact that it's just i mean it's wild we did Season one, we had Jason Kelsey in a diaper with a shaved head.

1:12:42It's like, all right, what do you guys want to do next year? And I'm like, I don't fucking know. Like, I cannot imagine what is next after that. Crazy. Anyways. I will say it was also very funny seeing all the guests who maybe didn't know, like, comment on Jason's outfit. Because he had borrowed all of Travis's clothes. We all knew those are Travis's clothes when he walked out. We knew what those were. Yes. But he's not on a match. He was rocking like the bucket hat and people were like, nice bucket. And I was like, only you knew. The bucket hat threw me when I first saw it. And I was like, oh, no, no, no.

1:13:12I get what he's doing. I understand. Only you knew. All right. Coming in at number 15. Again, this was like a seminal moment from the show. This is from season one. And this is Travis talking about the Derwin James hit.

1:13:29Jason Kelce:Derwin James, man. He's an absolute beast on the defensive side. I got a lot of respect for him, both in the past coverage and just absolutely throwing his weight around, man. A lot of safeties are out here throwing their weight around, but he's one of the bigger guys that can actually lay the wood, man. One week later. How did it feel when Derwin James absolutely, I mean, powerbombed the f*** out of you on national television? Well, it's not my first time getting powerbombed. But, yeah, no, I made a cut back, and then all of a sudden, he is on me like lightning. I mean, he surprised the out of me.

1:14:05Jason Kelce:Lower man always wins in football. When I felt him wrap his arms around my legs, I'm chuckling in my mind. I'm like, this is not about to end well for me right now. I'm going up. What goes up must come down. So the thing about this clip is that the episode before this aired, Travis like heaped a bunch of praise on Derwin James. And we had put that clip out. You know, the show was just getting started. I think this was episode two or three when Travis said the nice things about Derwin. And then the hit happened. And I saw the numbers on that clip go from like a couple hundred thousand views to like millions of views because everyone was like, he said this nice thing.

1:14:47And now he just got like absolutely buried into the earth. And then hearing Travis talk about. Jesus, Jay, he's going to hear this. Cut. No, I think it's funny. Leave it. He got absolutely fucking destroyed out there. He got killed. He got killed. What a fucking. No, this was a moment where, you know. You're making me self-conscious about this, Brandon. No, I think we leave it in. You can leave it in us talking about it. It's funny. This was a moment where we were still trying to figure out. Kind of find our footing with the show. And find our audience. And who was watching. And like. it just absolutely could not have been a more horseshoe in the ass moment that like we set up this thing that almost feels fake when you when you call it back and then i remember after we put out the episode where we talk about i remember it was the first time i remember a lot of our clips were being taken and put on like the news yeah and i remember people texting for their time being like hey is this it is this that thing you're working on are you did you do this i'm like yeah well i'm not i'm not derwin or travis but yes i did do this yeah i don't know i don't know if this clip in particular is in everyone's top 15 favorite clips of all time probably not but it's a huge like it is a cornerstone of like what brought the show to the map like more people i was gonna say i would say it's probably not a top 15 clip but i would venture that a significant portion of our audience found our show initially because of this i think a lot of people said wait the kelsey brothers doing a podcast the kelsey was in a podcast where and then I think a lot of people found the show because so, I mean, in essence, thank you, German James.

1:16:31Yeah. Shout out to German James. We got to get him on the show. I want him to tackle you now. That's deserved, but I'm rounding it out here. Number 14 season four from the episode that featured the review, the life of a show girl or reactions to life of a show girl. This is Jason and his Japanese maple.

1:16:55Jason Kelce:Wood, great, great soundtrack.

1:17:03Jason Kelce:How do you feel about Wood? Let's ask this. How do you feel about Wood? It's a great song. It's a great song? Do you feel like that? Do you feel... Trying to think of the word. Do you feel... Not confident. Do you feel cocky? Do you feel cocky about the song Wood? No. Any song that she references me in. That's not just any song. It's very like. This is a very specific you. I love that girl. So what do you mean? Any song that she would reference me in any way. Well, it's not just you, though. It's an appendage. It's not just you. What? It's a very specific thing. I think you're not understanding the song.

1:17:52Jason Kelce:Jesus Christ, Travis. Come on. No way. Redwood tree ain't hard to see. I thought redwood was a little bit, you know, that was, that's a generous word, I think. I think if somebody wrote a song about me, it'd be like, Japanese maple sometimes can see.

1:18:17Jason Kelce:Japanese maple.

1:18:26Jason Kelce:That song's great, though. The freaking, the beat to that song is fantastic. And that's right up my alley. So well done. I think it's a great song. There's definitely a lot for Jason to comment on. And I'm here for it. Can't wait for the teasing to begin. Teasing? I already got that out of the way. What would I tease about? His maple, his maple tree? The Japanese maple, baby. I have more of an ornamental tree cock. My cock is more of an ornamental bush. there are times where this is an incredibly easy job to have one of them is putting in this rundown jason what tree are you and watching magic happen that is you don't have to be smart to do this job folks you just have to go what's the funniest thing i can give this man to do and boy did he should put the ball in the tee let the very talented funny man swing at it it's i mean all timer and it led to uh everybody sending us photos japanese maples it led to us uh people every time there was a there was a lego set of a japanese lego set i've been tagged in that a thousand times someone brought a japanese maple to our live show they brought a live maple to the to the live show yes i mean i

1:19:43it's so stupid hey brandon what's your dude it's the funniest tree to pick too it's the funniest tree to pick it's the funniest tree i don't like when you go it's a japanese i don't even know what that means i am laughing at it though for some reason it's like complicated enough and specific enough that you go i don't know exactly what that means but also your brain does not know like we literally changed our like social headers to we did because of this we did we did i think i think we're good i think the joke is done well it's not done you can still bring us japanese I also like when we make I like when Jason does something on our show that Kylie has to address that's a very funny oh when she made her bio big fan of Japanese Maples I was like oh it's a family affair I just know that as soon as we put those clips out the episode airs I can tell that her phone probably erupted with like did you see what and it's like mother fucker anyways that has been this episode of the 92 Clips Countdown.
