We never watched this growing up. Have you ever watched A Wonderful Life? It's A Wonderful Life. No. I highly recommend it. I'm telling you, go give it a chance. It's a good movie. It's black and white. So it's got some years on it. But it's a nice film. I really enjoy it. I watched it for the first time a couple years ago because everybody's always putting it up there with one of their favorite Christmas movies.
4:19Everybody? I mean, it got more than Scrooged. It got a good amount of votes. It's definitely one from a different generation, but it's very good. It holds up. It holds up. All right. All right.

5:08So good. Oh, my goodness. How about it? I wonder if Tay saw them in the stands. You can't keep it together if you see that. There's no way you're in the middle of a song and you see them walking around. Like, I mean, I would lose it. What is I love that. I love that the one lady when mustache era, Travis Kelsey. Oh, yeah. This is full on homemade jerseys. How do you even make that? You don't buy that anywhere. Those are but that's like pressed on numbers and letters. Yes, very nice. There's a lot of effort put in.

What is it about Andy Reid that anybody dressing like him is just incredible? Yeah, and everybody loves it. He's just so iconic. That mustache. That stache. That stache is just...

6:50How many shows do you know off the top of your head? 149 or 152. I forget which one it was. Somewhere in there. There's so many shows. Is kind of how I sum it up. 149 shows in 21 countries. Wow. It's insane. Absolutely insane. Over 10 million people in the stands over the course of it, like accumulatively. It's pretty crazy. Well, shout out to Tay. Shout out to everybody that was a part of that show. Obviously, it's her music, her tour, and everything, but that was a full production, man. That thing. Yeah, fair enough. It was the best tour in the world because of a lot of people, but mostly because of Taylor.
7:30All right. Shout out to everybody, man. All righty. Walter Payton, Man of the Year. I don't know if all of you saw, but my brother, Travis Kelsey, Kansas City Chief, is nominated for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year from Chiefs owner Clark Hunt. Through his new Ignition Lab, the Growing 87 and Running Foundation, and his partnership with Operation Breakthrough, Travis has impacted the lives of thousands of young people in the Kansas City region and beyond. Very few athletes in the history of the game have balanced the same level of team success, individual accolades, and community engagement.
8:06Trav, how does it feel to be nominated? This is awesome. This is a huge award. It is. It is a huge award. I, you know, I love getting out here in the Kansas City community, man. I really do. They show up for each other so much and they do it with so much pride. And, you know, that's the beauty of of having that relationship with the community was is always to, you know, try and make a better world for the ones that that support you on game day, man, or just or need that help and that support in the in the in the community. And I've just been so lucky that I came here to Kansas City and got the opportunity from the Hunt family.
8:40And I realized real early on that they were an organization and how they ran this organization was that they wanted everyone in the community, making sure the people in Kansas City felt the support that we feel on Sundays. And the one thing that you see when you first walk in that building is all of the winners and all the winners of the man of the year in terms of, you know, how much like history Kansas City players have in this community. and everybody getting acknowledged for that. And I don't do it for the awards. I don't do it for the acknowledgement. I do it for the smiles on the kids' faces at the Ignition Lab and at Operation Breakthrough and to see what they do with what we give them at their exposure.
9:23You're not lying. You know, and it's just, it's so cool to see what they have done with what they have to work with over there. And this year will be the first year that we actually had the high school kids. long story short Operation Breakthrough is a beautiful organization in Kansas City that helps out a lot of the underserved kids especially on the east side and yeah the program when I first got to Kansas City stopped in eighth grade and yeah and I really wanted to keep that going through the high school years because I know how much of a knucklehead I was and not having anywhere to to go or a safe haven or just somewhere to to you know perfect my craft after school I would I don't know where the heck I would have been.
10:03So I really wanted to extend that for Operation Breakthrough. And that's when we created the Ignition Lab, 87 to Run, Ignition Lab, which is a STEM lab. It has everything from a mechanic shop, a muffler, a robotics lab, entertainment studio, e-gaming. It has everything you could possibly need, a kitchen for kids that want to get into the culinary world. It's remarkable, honestly. Yeah. It's unbelievable. And I couldn't have done it without the support from KC and the support from everybody working at Operation Breakthrough. And sure enough, we couldn't have done this without the kids that actually want to make a difference with their lives.
10:42And that's the beauty of it. And that's why I do it, man. Yeah, no, I think it's awesome. And, you know, they convert some of the vehicles to electric. They're converting my truck to electric. But one of the things we got to see was that fully electric Chevelle that they're raffling off. I drove to the game this Sunday. That's what, yeah. How'd that feel? Dude, it rolls. It's pretty gnarly. It's cool as shit. It is cool. A big guy like me, it's tough for me to get in those old cars if you don't pull the seats back. But, man, it is sweet, man. I'll tell you, those old school cars are just so freaking cool, man.
11:10I think I got a 71 Chevelle that some people may have seen me drive before. But this thing was one of a kind. When you get in there, you can feel how unique it is. Everything's kind of on that digital pad that they have. It's like a little iPad or just like a touch screen that you can put it in drive and reverse and neutral and everything. And then from there, it has some pickup. It has some pickup, man. It's got the it's got those electric EV batteries in there. And the kids did an unbelievable job. And I think it was a smooth ride into the stadium the other day. It definitely doesn't have the rumble.
11:46And there's something that that like obviously the old school gear heads, you know, they're going to want. But I think there's something really cool that Operation Breakthrough is doing where they're they're taking these older vehicles. They're teaching these kids some of the things that the automotive industry is going into and teaching them skills that not everybody really knows what's happening, especially in the EV world. So cool, man. And it's really cool. And on top of that, it's just, I mean, it's just beautiful. They did a great job with it. It's gorgeous in there. They have all the electric stuff, but they also have the old school knobs and whatnot.
12:17And it looks very true to kind of the way it used to be. Yeah, the seats. Yeah. Yeah. This is the first year that the kids who started in the initial Ignition Lab year, so they're going to be seniors going into college. Yeah, they're all graduating. So it's pretty cool to see kids start as freshmen and really latch on to things and now even going to college, getting an opportunity to be an architecture major and things like that in college. And it's just so cool, man. And that's why you do it. Well, no, that's why you do it, Trav. That's why you do it. And you can vote for Travis in the Man of the Year fan vote using Walter Payton Man of the Year challenges.
13:04Hashtag WPMOY challenge plus at TKLC on Twitter. Congrats, Trav. That's awesome. I love you, Big. I appreciate it, man. And shout out to Ignition Lab and Operation Breakthrough for just being the awesome opportunity for these kids that they are, man. Well, I drove in a 69 Chevelle. Jason, you wrecked a helmet. Yeah. Driving around in a little golf cart helmet. It's okay. It made it out all right. It passed the concussion test? Oh, yeah. Look at this, dude. Look at that. Cruising. You're hilarious. Cruising, baby. You're literally the Philadelphia mascot, dude. We literally stopped traffic to do these shoots, which I'm just like, this is going to be a fun bit.
13:47It's a fun bit. It's good. I love it, man. And have you seen this golf cart before? Yeah. So the Eagles have this one. They also have a throwback one, like a Kelly green version of it. Yeah. Kind of, they kind of live in the stadium and we thought it'd be funny. So we're going to use this footage, not this one, but we're going to use this footage in conjunction with the late night show. Gosh, I just took that one swerve a little bit too hard. And I couldn't of course correct. Oh no, dude. That, that can get dicey. No, for sure. Yeah. I mean, I stuck my arm out. it could have gone real bad it could have gone horrendously bad i've actually seen this go real bad like broken hand bad on a golf course you were on pavement it's pavement so i mean it's nice and soft you know golf courses are pretty hard with all that grass so oh hey god you came out on skates man i got those wheels up and i was like oh dear here it goes i could feel it coming big Luckily, I had my helmet on and came out unscathed.
14:47Came out unscathed. Dad always told us to wear helmets. He did. Whenever you're riding your bike, your scooter, you're going to have a helmet on. Rollerblading. Hey, put a helmet on. Those helmets with the wings on have been protecting me for a while. So good. Fly eagles fly, baby. Well, we're all glad you're okay. And that's it for new news brought to you by Paramount Network.

15:31Prime is your ticket to holiday magic. All righty, starting with, of course, the Chiefs. That's right, Chiefs 19, Chargers 17. Man, come on. What's going on? Speak to me, Trav. Some good old-fashioned AFC West Division football, baby. Oh, you ain't lying. I think the Chargers are a fucking hell of a goddamn football team. Yeah, Harbaugh's got those guys playing their tail off, playing with a lot of heart. Chiefs with another one-score win, another one that came down to a field goal. Yeah, let's get right into the doink. So, new kicker. Matthew Wright from Lancaster PA. Lancaster PA? He's a PA guy.
16:11Yeah, he's right around. in birds country you know what i i don't think so but he kind of has that pretty easy to tell he looks like maybe one of them that you know just walked out of the barn and said i'm good double doink well not double doink doink in double doink you're gonna go there's matt naggy you're gonna go there you fucking that was a low blow man it's like cody parkey all right let's get to the last drive pat starts wheeling and dealing is the worthy throw dancing around big third down conversion on the third and 10 oh we're gonna go into this look at this we're gonna talk about some protections good job and p right came listen we just talked about derwin derwin derwin's not derwin's not fucking around man when he blitzes he's he's taking the back i respect he's he's done that he's done that to guys all year and it's not that he got put on his tail but i mean that was a that was a football this is a i respect the hell out of this is football right here yeah p-ron freaking look at that throwing their bodies in there yeah pat steps to the left drifts it's worthy for the first down i mean that was the biggest play of the game potentially right there next to this one there we go we get a little boot action trav it's been well recorded that you're supposed to keep running that corner route you decide to sit well recorded what just what supposed to run a corner travis everybody said you were supposed to run a corner who's everybody everybody that was i think pat said it i'm pretty sure pat's fuck no but seriously obviously you know what makes you sit right here i mean corner over top you know the corner's not gonna be open i mean that corner the the corner the corner is actually playing the flat this is cover two and there's you got to think of like the voids in cover two Like the voids are sidelines.
18:03Yeah, the whole shot in between the safety and the corner. Yeah, the whole shot in between the safety down the sideline. I felt like I couldn't beat that safety there. He had the leverage on you outside. The angle wasn't like a sheer catch. Yep. So I started to just kind of like turn my shoulders, square it up to Pat. Sure enough. And just kind of like felt that void. You know, I knew where the hook to curl defender was. he then chased Pat because Pat looked like he was about to run. Yep. And I was just like, let me just kind of fill that void. Yeah. Pat made an unbelievable play to keep it alive, making that first guy miss.
18:41And then sure enough, man, 1-5 is always going to find the open guy, man. Trav catches it kneeling, doesn't even try to get up, knows he's got the game won. Just ball security. Don't do any – don't drop the baby. Just hold on to that thing. I knew the hit was coming too. I was like, the safety's right behind me. When's it going? Where is it at? Where is it at? Yep. You know, somebody's coming. And yeah, that sets up the game winning field goal attempt, which, you know, pretty close one. They're all hard, though, when the game's on the line. And pulled a little Tim Duncan action. Goes off the left upright and in.
19:13Banks open on Sundays, baby. There we go, baby. Yeah, what does this feel like? I'm a big fan of just scoring touchdowns, man, and forcing the other team to have to score touchdowns. But I understand not even giving them a chance. and uh and that's a very high percentage field goal right there i think we're sitting at like 20 yards 30 yards or something like that yeah it is what it is i'm uh i'm always here for what the team's decision is that's why i didn't even think about getting up i knew the situation we were in and what we were going to want to do once we got the first down was to kick a field goal and run the clock out yep so if that's what that's what the game plan is baby i'm all in yeah well we did find out that andy is not a game-winning field goal watcher we have a clip of this oh you know this no superstitious or just doesn't want to watch yeah the crowd will tell him look at this wow yeah baby yeah baby oh man you might go check go back out there rolling downhill man him and big red having a fucking good time after this one division game man division on the line won the division for the what whatever year um against a a really fucking good chargers team you can't tell me that justin herbert isn't one of the best fucking quarterbacks in the national football league man dude he's balling this year he's had some games he can sling that pill i mean he's balling every year it feels like with harbaugh getting there it feels like some of that swagger's back with that team you know the the leaders in that on that team the coaches coming in um coach minner coach yeah coach elston our guys uh guys are there too rick rick was with me in uh philadelphia was he jesse jesse's dad yeah nice i didn't know that yeah he's a fellow bear cat uh coach as well yep but yeah they they uh they got that thing figured out right now they're playing really really good football man and they played us uh played us pretty goddamn tough both times we uh we got them absolutely definitely pat had some post-game quotes i truly believe we are closer than we were last year at this point.
21:12I would agree with that. I think that's a very good statement by Pat. I think at this point last year, you guys had just lost to us, and it was looking kind of down for the Chiefs, and you guys got it going. I kind of think it is looking better. I think offensively— At this point last year, we didn't even know that it was going to get worse. Yeah. You know, it went all the way through Christmas, and we were lucky we had two games after Christmas to be able to figure it out, but it was a different situation. I just think you guys have a good roster. I think that, I'll be honest, and we've talked about it a little bit, I think the protections have been a thing that have thrown off the offense a little bit.
21:53I thought the protections were a lot better yesterday. Humphreys looked good. I don't know what his hamstring looks like, but he did a good job at left tackle this last game. He's came in the building and been a fucking all-star professional, man. He's just been just a high-energy guy, loves what he does, comes in, shows how much he loves this game and how much he appreciates being in the situation to play football. I just love the guy for that mentality and his hard work, man. It sucks that the first game he gets in, man, he gets the hamstring. He'll be back. He'll be back regardless, even if he's back this week or whenever.
22:29I think that's going to help out a lot of things because it felt like that's been something that's throwing off the timing and rhythm a little bit, and it'll help Pat out. It'll help everything out. I do want to say this, though. Pat is nearly unstoppable. It is so crazy watching him in two-minute situations. Before the half, you guys go and get a touchdown. End of the game when you need to get a drive together. He somehow finds a way to convert and move the ball down so that you guys are in field goal range. Why are you guys just not always a two-point? Just run two-point offense. Like, what are we even doing running the rest of the offense?
22:56Just let Pat go to two minutes. Like, I don't even know why we're wasting time. A little up-tempo. It does. You know what up-tempo does. Just be two-minute. Not even. Two-minute. You can even huddle. Just huddle. Just go do two-minute. Just tell Pat before every drive, Pat, hey, we got two minutes left. We just started the game. All that sounds good. All that sounds good until, you know, the thing is, is when you go two-minute, it's typically a little bit more basic plays, right? It's kind of like set plays. The defense is running very simple defenses, and it kind of simplifies everything from what you're seeing.
23:31For sure. I can find voids easier. I can, you know, I see what the defense is in before the snap because they can't dick around at the line of scrimmage or give us a crazy look at the line of scrimmage while we're in two-minute. Right. Yeah. So it's just, it definitely makes the game easier, but at the same time, you can't do that shit all game. That shit will get fucking stopped in a heartbeat if you do that shit all game. I don't know. I haven't seen anybody stop Pat yet. It might be worth trying. I'm just saying. Just let that go out there being point guard. You ain't lying, man. Patty Mahomes, baby.
24:00The Big Yeti got another milestone. Travis Kelsey became the fastest tight end in NFL history. 172 games to reach 12 ,000 career receiving yards. Previous record was held by none other than Tony Gonzalez in 210 games. LeBron's stat, a real stat. God damn. I think that's a pretty real stat. He played 210 games? Well, he played more than that. It took him 210 games to get the 12 ,000 career receiving yards. He ended with 15 ,000. I don't even know if I could. So he played a lot of games. Tony played a lot of games. That's almost 40 more games. I don't know if I could play 40 more. Well, I mean, listen, that's a lot more games.
24:42Fuck. Again, Tony played more than 210. Tony played, I mean, he got 15 ,000. Yeah, that was, yeah, that's insane. Tony's longevity is insane. How did he fucking do it? God damn. I remember he had like some type of protein that I used to take. Maybe that was it. He was into spearfishing. Maybe he was harnessing the power of the sun. I think he was. There you go. 270. One with the co-op. That's so many games. That's so many games. It's crazy. How many did he play altogether? Can we get that thrown up there real quick? It says right here. Played 270 regular season games. He played a whole hundred more than what I'm at right now.
25:20Yeah. It's outrageous. It's no. It's you. Oh, my gosh. No fucking chance. Guys, built different. I mean, that's so impressive. Dude. I'm pretty sure he got into the league before he was 21, and then on top of that, he played until he was 36, 37? Oh, he played longer than 36, 37. I don't know, man. You don't think so? I'm pretty sure it was only like 17 years, yeah. Insane is what he did. He's 48 now. Why? Why did we need to know that? We're trying to do some math. When did he retire? You could just look up. He retired with the Falcons. when like right before 10 years ago you're probably right about 38 years old right 37 38 yeah 713 11 years yeah you're you're thousand percent right all right i'll stop talking um either way unbelievably impressive the chiefs have now won the afc west for nine straight seasons that i did before we move on i it's so funny being on this list on these lists with Tony because it every single time I it puts in perspective what he actually did when he was in the National Football League yeah and it's fuck it'll never be touched it's a much different league too there's no way there's no way it's like it's it's so fucking mind-blowing that he did that and back when football was football I mean he did it you could literally get your head he played that long in a league where there was two a days during training camp the you know the hitting they would take your head off as a safety i remember that dawkins clip on algae crumpler dude what that was legal crackbacks you better be that is check you can do that they used to actually teach you head on a swill ball i don't even think they teach head on my first because it doesn't matter you don't even need to have a head on a swill there's no repercussions nope If you get that's just run around aimlessly.
27:19It's a penalty and a fine and a hefty fine at that. Back when they were just in AstroTurf, which is just a carpet rolled over fucking cement. You remember playing on Lakewood High School? Yeah. That had the AstroTurf. That was outrageous. The worst. These guys played whole NFL careers. They would tell everybody to bring gym shoes instead of cleats. Yeah. Dude, yeah, you have to bring basketball shoes. Have you ever run on your carpet in your living room? That's exactly what this is. baseball diamonds everybody had a joint stadium with the baseball teams you're talking about the vet absolutely insane man football was crazy back in the day yeah well it's still pretty crazy you know what else is crazy is the chiefs have won the afc west nine straight seasons yes sir this is outrageous i mean talk about domination sorry to the rest of the afc west but this is unbelievable the last time kansas city didn't win the division patrick holmes was still playing college baseball it's pretty fucking that's a great fucking that's a lebron stat if i've ever heard that's funny as hell nice that's we'll talk about perspective week 15 travis is headed back to the 216 that's right they take on the browns yes sir and potentially the greatest soundbite quarterback of all time james winston um you excited for the homecoming i am man i am man you know we're cleveland guys to heart and to the core.
28:42I played there once and I am so excited to be able to get back there. It was a dream come true playing in front of Cleveland. You've only played there once? Yeah, man. I've only been back when it was first energy. Dude, I went to that game. Somehow I was able to go to that game. Kareem Hunt was his first year with the Browns. He had just been with the Browns. No, no, no. You guys still? That's what it was. It was a double comeback to Cleveland. Kareem had three touchdowns and I had two. Got it. It was a Cleveland kid type of day. Yeah. But, yeah, it was a dream come true to score in the end zone and be right there in front of the dog pound.
Read the full transcript
29:21A little different catching some birds, some middle fingers, some boos, and some barks from the enemy side of perspective. But I still love Cleveland for it, man. And it's such an honor playing back in Cleveland. And it's going to be a fun day, man. It's going to be a fun day. And hopefully we can go in there and get into a dog fight with the dog pound and have some fun, man. Well, intern Brandon's going to be in attendance. Does that add any additional pressure to this game? No. Love Brandon, though. Thanks for coming, man. That's cool. Why are you going to be in Cleveland, Brandon? Why not? Why do you sound like that?
30:01Why would you say it like that, Jason? What the fuck was that for? A beautiful December in Cleveland. Are you kidding me? Can we stop? You see how fast I flipped that on you, Jason? You see how fast? Just judoed you. Just fucking put you in a blender. Can we explain why we're actually going to be in Cleveland now? A friend of a friend has a connection to the Browns. I was like, do you just want to go to the Browns game? I was like, sure, fine. I'll do 36 hours in Cleveland. There you go. Where are you staying? No, just neighborhood. We're staying close to the stadium. We're staying close to the stadium.
30:30So you're going to stay downtown? Yeah. downtown yeah what should i do what should i do i have 36 hours dude check out the art museum ohio city ohio city check out the art museum art museum uh a great natural history museum actually really one of the rock and roll history museum yeah yeah uh the science museum is downtown this it's like the uh the rock and roll museum is phenomenal a lot of museums okay big time Museum tour. Big museum. Big museum people. All right. I'll do a museum tour. I'll report back next week. Nice. Ooh, this is a fun time of year because Great Lakes has come out with their Christmas ale.
31:09Make sure you go to a restaurant that is serving Great Lakes Christmas ale. It's a very Ohio thing. They put this spice thing on the rim. You're going to enjoy it. It's very good. Highly recommend it. Go over there to Ohio City. You actually just go to the brewery. They do it at the brewery. Just go to the brewery. Just go to the source, get underneath the tab. You'll be fine. It'll definitely be there, but I'm a big fan of the Christmas sale. You can also always hit a town hall right next door. One of my favorite spots in Cleveland. Ooh, okay. Great Lakes, town hall. All right, I'll be there.
31:42I'll have a bunch of those, and I'm going to go jump in the dog pound. Go check it out. There's so many places that... Jason, just come. Just show up. You show up everywhere. Just drive your little helmet car over and just show up. I mean, I am. I was going to spend maybe some days with my kids this week, but you know what? Fuck it. I'll go. They got so much time. You have so much time with that. Jesus. Delivery on that line. Just show up. It'll be all right. All right. Like, are you fucking kidding me? All right. Let's get to some Eagles Panthers, man. The birds are flying around, man. Initial thoughts on the game, Jason.
32:19Well, they got the nine straight. It was not the cleanest game for the Eagles, but they found a way to win. And I think that right now they're – listen, they've been playing so good and the level has been so high of everybody's excitement for this team. Yeah. I actually think it's really good that this game was close and they got brought back down to earth. The Panthers have been doing this to a lot of teams recently. Bryce Young is playing a lot better, made a hell of a lot of plays scrambling and making plays down the field. Oh, I know. They've been playing teams close, including, you know, one of the teams in the AFC West.
32:57So I think this is, all in all, obviously happy the Eagles got a win, and I think that they'll get out of this game, and they got nine straight. I mean, it's hard to win football games. Right now they're sitting at 11-2, so it was a lot of fun. It was also fun to actually go to a game. I haven't been to a game really that many this year. Oh, nice. You went to it. Yeah, we went to it. We took the kids. What? I know, dude. It was awesome. It was awesome. How were the girls at the games? Did they enjoy them? They were great. They didn't give one crap about the football game, but they had a blast eating a bunch of food and popcorn and running around all over the place like crazed lunatics.
33:34So, yeah, it was really cool. What is this text? Yeah, we were on a group chat text, me, Jake, and Brandon. Yeah, this is on the Leggett. Looked like he caught in and rolled into the end zone on their last drive. Yeah. And, yeah, I think everybody in the stadium before you saw the replay thought it was a touchdown because he came up with it pretty clean. And Jake said this. Holy shit, that was close. You replied with butthole puckered up a bit, huh? Yeah. You got to have a loose caboose, man. You got to keep your composure. You can't pucker up. Listen, I don't play anymore. So now I just sit there and my butthole puckers because I have zero control.
34:15If I have control, I'd have a loose butthole. But because I don't have control, my buckle gets tight. That's the way it works. Well played. Biggest story coming out of the Eagles game are, unfortunately, comments from A.J. Brown. Yeah. When asked about the issues facing the offense, he simply said passing. He thinks passing is the issue. Also admitted that it's incredibly tough for the receivers to get into a rhythm when the offense is only passing the ball 20 times a game. Succinct. well aj i don't know if you know this but uh saquon barkley is arguably the mvp in the nfl um handing him the ball a lot is kind of like a really good thing it is yeah no it works out i understand you're really good too and uh getting you the ball a lot is a really good thing yeah i mean i personally i just think you know listen he's frustrated after a game right yeah they barely beat a team that they know they should have performed better there's been a lot of stuff made about this comment from AJ.
35:18A lot of stuff made about Jalen's comment about offense and synchronization and whatnot. And ultimately, I just think it's two guys that are frustrated after a game in which they didn't meet the standard that they hold for themselves, and they know the offense doesn't meet the standard that it holds for itself. And unfortunately, we live in a day and age, and we both know this very well, where things that you say, you know i don't know how long aj sit there and talk to reporters but it's probably like 10 minutes i bet and this is the only thing that really trends right all the other stuff that gets said doesn't yeah the reality is when you're frustrated after a game sometimes you you know you're you're you're answering things in a heated moment and i know i've been there i know everybody i've damn near played with has been there and you know this is what happens when you have highly competitive individuals that know that they can be contributing more or know that the offense can be better than it is or that the team can be better than it is.
36:17There's also BG had some comments. I know AJ Brown is a tremendous teammate and a guy that I loved being on the same team with. He's a guy that's highly competitive and wants to win and have an impact on the game. And I think that that's what you want in a star receiver or player in general of that caliber. I know Jalen Hertz operates in a very similar fashion. They've also played a lot of ball together. They played a lot of ball in the NFL. Nick Sirianni is a great coach. Kellen Moore has done a phenomenal job with the offense. These are things that happen. There was, you know, there was somebody saying like, I think one of Jalen's comments was like, should you be still figuring this out week 13 in the NFL?
36:57And he said, no. And I understand why he said that because like, you know, you're, you're, you're almost to the playoffs. We should be getting, have everything dialed in. But the reality is you're always figuring this out. This is the way the league works. Like, even no matter where you're at, you're constantly trying to iron things out, make things better. That's the only way you become one of the best teams in the NFL. Yeah, that's the only way. Is by continually going through that process. Like you just said, this team has an identity right now. And that identity has been running the ball with Saquon Barkley and exposing the secondary when they commit to stopping that run.
37:29And they have all of those pieces able to do that. I understand that balance is going to help. That's just the reality. I think as an offense, you want to have balance. But I really like where the identity has been. For the most part, it's been really good and has led to them beating – I mean, they just beat the Ravens, right? One of the best teams in the NFL in Baltimore. I know they're frustrated with this game, but let's not lose sight. The defense is playing lights out. We're one of the best teams in the NFC, and all of these guys are really, really good. I tend to think that these comments and all this media stuff is only going to bring these guys closer together.
38:11That's where I look at it. When stuff like this happens, I think that these guys are going to be galvanized because they realize how good they are. Kellen Moore and all these guys are going to keep growing this offense to be the best dialed-in machine it can be by the postseason. And, you know, I'm very excited for where all this stuff is headed. Unbelievable talent. Yeah. On that football team, especially on the offensive side. Only one football, Bob. You only got one ball to get it around. And whether you're running it, you're throwing it, it's going to one guy. Unless you're lateral. Then it goes to two guys.
38:45Yeah.
38:51And that's why I lateral. Because I'm just trying to spread the love. man. You got to spread the love, man. We got to get Saquon lateral into AJ. Get this thing going. Get this thing going. Sirianni, let's go, baby. Anyways, my man Grant Calcaterra caught his first touchdown pass in the NFL this week. Dude, so not only was this video of his family going nuts, it kind of went viral. Here we go. Check him out. Check him out.
39:20Nice. Nice.
39:28well it looks just like him so that would add up i was about to say yeah yep were they watching this again in the uh in the bar after the game i thought that was him not only were these guys going nuts on the uh video but i uh went down on the field afterwards and saw he had a bunch of family that was there his dad was there his mom was there nice and everybody was fired up about grant getting his first touchdown pass this is one of the guys too that like the whole team gets fired up about when they get their first touch like dallas got us out grant's actually had a number of like big seam catches he's he's having a really good year for the eagles especially as a pass catcher and he's been a guy that's always gone in there and done the dirty work over the last couple years doing slice blocks running counters like doing all the stuff that like no other tight end wants to do and whenever a guy like that gets rewarded and all of a sudden to start is catching a touchdown pass i think that that's something that everybody gets fired up about fires you up baby hell yeah including his uh football family not just his regular family so nice congrats grant yeah it was awesome hopefully the first of many for you brother yeah baby yeah next week the eagles are hosting mr unlimited russell wilson and the steelers uh probably probably worth noting that the last time the eagles played the steelers aj brown had six catches for 156 yards and uh scored three touchdowns so um yeah maybe it's time to go Maybe we should pass the ball.
40:50Maybe it's time to go back to throwing that thing. That's what AJ, he just knew we were playing the Steelers next week. So he's like, all right, I'm going to put this out there. I'm going to set this shit up right now. I'm going to put this out there right now. We need to work on passing. Yeah. Yeah, I like that. We did a voicemail question about the Steelers that we are going to answer. Are we doing that now? Or is this having an invoice? We're doing it now. Okay. Hey, fellas. This is Patrick from Pittsburgh. Long-time listener, first-time caller. Two quick questions. First one is more so for Travis.
41:22Travis, as the greatest tight end to ever play the game, what is your honest opinion of Pat Friar-Moose? Second, what is it like to be standing on the field at Akershore Stadium in the fourth quarter whenever they play Renegade? Talk to you guys later. Bye. Dude. There we go. So first of all, it's Heinz Field. I'll never not call it Heinz Field. I'm not dealing with this nonsense. You only get one stadium name when it first comes out that I'm sticking to it. I'm over the corporate name and renaming. It's over. It's it's it's Heinz Field. You don't like Arrowhead. Just like I don't care who pays for Jacobs Field's name.
41:58It's Jacobs Field. I don't give a fuck what you call that aggressive. No, it's not. It's Jacobs Field. That's where dude, that's where Arrowhead gets it right. Because it's always the G hot at Arrowhead. So Arrowhead always remains the same name. I can't deal with this. like i'm not whatever jihad giha i'm not doing i'm not doing it i'm not i'm not like you can't
42:25heinzfield is a fucking special they had the tomato ketchup bottle going down like what are we talking about yeah so good it is such a special uh place to play man and i'm pumped i get to play on christmas out there man so anyways listen as my uh professional um you know 13 year career and nothing to do with tight end play, I think Pat Friermuth is a hell of a tight end. I think he's doing a tremendous job. Nice. He asked me that question. He needs to work on his footwork a little bit. Shut the fuck up. He is not clumsy-footed at all. Sometimes when I watch him play, he looks like a Friar South.
43:07He looks like a Friar South, not a Friermuth. I don't even know where the fuck I'm going with this. All right, you take him. Go ahead, Drew. I see you're trying to have some fun with it. So no, Pat is actually he's one of my favorite tight ends to watch, man. He's he's savvy in his route running. He's very he's very like tight or quarterback friendly, which he knows angles coming out to where he knows he can get a guarantee catch. And quarterbacks fucking love it when you come out of your breaks and with certain angles, depending on where the defender closest to you is. You come out at an angle specific to the leverage of the defender, not just running the route that's on the paper.
43:41Exactly. and uh and he does a great job of uh feeling voids like that and feeling how how he needs to get in and out of breaks and then on top of that he's just a tough football player man i think he embodies the the stealer kind of way to play which is like it's that steel curtain that that that toughness that you got to play with man he's willing to you know uh stick his face in the fan and yeah do whatever he needs to do for his team man i think he uh yeah the pittsburgh like toughness like when i think of pittsburgh tight ends i think of like heath miller oh yeah heath and when he used to catch the ball he would just have it and big him and big ben were always on the same fucking page they would fuck they would just like in the middle of a run he'd just give like miller a fucking wink and he'd just run like a little seam route and he just quick 10 yards just fucking truck everybody now don't get me wrong they're two completely different players but they do have that same pittsburgh toughness but um yeah what is it about those those like tough fan base right future brave future what what is it about those fan bases that really love tight ends i think you're on to some because when i think i thought of the same thing with everything you were just saying i thought of heath miller like when i think of pittsburgh i think about tight ends i think it's honestly when i think about the eagles i think the tight ends i certainly think about tight ends with kansas city oh who's your who's your who's your favorite eagles tight end my favorite eagles tight end don't make me do this don't make me do this come on i'm not doing this because i got too many buddies i got close friends i can't pick one or the other all right all right all right mine's zekert's but i do love uh i do love dallas i can't wait to tell you he just said that he's gonna be so pissed at you chad lewis is another favorite of mine chad lewis i should have just gone pre my teammate years in you know yeah anyways so many good ones man so many good ones selzy come on we already know he's at the top of the list yeah i think uh i think the second part of the question i don't even remember answering oh the renegade right that is oh my mohammed fear from the long time of the lord if you're if it's a really close game you feel that yeah like tension build in the stadium it's pretty dope if it's the other way around then you don't really feel it like that yeah but usually their defense is really good so usually it is close so usually you feel it a lot yeah and the whole stadium gets into it this is another thing that ryan clark pointed out to me when we were there everybody wears like their team's jerseys but it feels like pittsburgh is like even like that on a thousand like i don't think anybody goes to that game without wearing an actual pittsburgh steelers jersey they all wear the jerseys throughout the day in the city like it's it was very i mean i see a lot of jerseys in there pretty crazy um the amount of steelers fans that were in legitimate jerseys at the game.
46:27I think that's something that they, that's like a thing. I mean, every fan base wears jerseys, but a lot of jerseys in Pittsburgh. So especially when Renegades go in, it's. I don't know what it is about. I just, I think it was growing up wearing black and gold. It's a dope car. I mean, that's Cleveland Heights. Black and gold has always been a favorite. I recognize it more. I don't know what it is. I don't know if everybody's a good color combination. Black and gold is just a good color combo. It's so good. It's so good. and then you add that that cool fucking old school Steelers logo in there like so iconic what's what are the what are your favorite color combos of teams my like black and gold is one of them I'll say this I love I've always loved the color green not just because I'm an Eagles fan I just love the color green yeah one of my favorite color combos I don't have anything to do with the team Oakland A's the green and yellow is just a it is a awesome dude like I I mean, Green Bay Packers.
47:23But for some reason, that Oakland A's hat, it just stands out as one of the coolest. It slaps. Yeah, it's just a dope hat. They're the Sacramento A's now. I think of the same thing with the Supersonics. Soon to be the Vegas A's. Oh, they're moving now, too? Oh, yeah. They're out of there. Everybody's leaving Oakland for Vegas. It's unfortunate, man. Oakland's a beautiful sports town. Yeah. Maybe it is just green and yellow. Because I thought of the Supersonics jerseys and stuff. Those are some dynamite freaking. I think they're trying to bring a team back, an NBA team back to Seattle too. What's another?
47:58What are your favorites? My favorites? I'm an old school Cavs, a 90s Cavs. I knew you were going to go there. I fucking love this combo. Are you talking about blue and orange? Are you talking about, I kind of like the blue and black. I like the splash jerseys. The one where it looked like they had paint going across their jerseys. I got you. You know what I mean? Like that very end of the Mark Price years, the Sean Kemp years, the 96, 97, 98. They had the blue and black on those ones. Those are my favorite, too. I think I'm with you on that. I love those ones. There's something about blue and black where it kind of clashes, but it works.
48:34Then the hint of that orange, it has that orange in there. I'm a big orange guy, too. Is that because of the Browns? Are we just subliminally been affected our whole lives? We have. That was one thing. like i like broncos jerseys because i like brown i like the color orange i just like oranges yeah like orioles orioles have a good color combo because i like the orange i don't know what it is another god damn good one right there i think i just like you've been like the pirates are black and gold this is all just comes back to our childhood penguins yeah does everybody else feel this way or is it just us i don't know talk to us 92 percenters um and that does it for uh for catching up with the Eagles and Panthers.
49:16Shout out to the Eagles for finding a way to get a win against a sneaky good team. And thank you for your voicemail, man. I'll be excited to hear Renegade in the fourth quarter on Christmas. All righty, let's hit a little bit more from the biggest stories from Week 14 in the NFL, starting. What's going on this week? Yeah, starting with the gambling Dan Campbell. A lot of talk about Dan Campbell declining to kick and keeping his offense on the field on fourth and one, up three at the Green Bay 21 with 43 seconds left. I mean, listen, fourth and one, you go for it. I'm 1 ,000 % in on Dan. And they're starting to see this.
49:54We're going to get to the Rams game, but they did it on fourth and five. They were like, yeah, we can't give Josh Allen the ball back. And I think that Dan's been criticized a little bit about those fourth down decisions last year in the playoffs. but this gambling Dan Campbell man that's why he has been where he's been these lions win a lot of games because of these decisions of being aggressive and because they're a really good football team dude there's just something that's so likable about this guy dude he was i check out this thing i've said it on here before he was one of the guys he was down at miami as a tight end coach yeah back in 2013 when i was coming out and i was like man i want to fucking play for that guy that guy seems like a fucking great coach he seems like he gets the best out of guys seems like he's all in tough son of a gun and um sure enough man you could see you know as the years go on how great of a coach he really is and uh how he can really embody get guys embody that toughness and play for him and uh and yeah it's uh it's it's a dagger when you when you see guys running the ball like this big points in the game and converting it even with their quarterback fucking tripping over his feet.
51:02God damn it. That was crazy. He got it done. Shout out to Goff, man. Hell yeah. He found a way to hand that fucker off, man. Golly. More power to it, man. Goff, get your feet out the way. O-line's got to do a job. Come on. Yeah. Also, shout out to Dan Skipper. I love that Dan is just like, there's always these sound bites that Dan Campbell gives towards Skip. Let's do it. I told you, you'll never forget this game. You will never forget this game. We don't have to talk about how tough we are. We don't have to talk about how resilient we are. We live it, man. We've been living it. Where's our defense at?
51:40Offense, that's the way to step up, man. That's the way to step up. There you go, Skip. Keep throwing up, whatever you're doing up with. How can you not love that guy? I mean, Jesus. Just a football legend, man. Hell yeah. Just exudes passion for his players, for the sport. Freaking Dan's over there giving it everything he's got. He's throwing up. Gosh. What a great freaking. Yeah. They got a lot of great stuff going on. Green Bay's got a lot of great stuff going on, too. They've been playing lights out. And, I mean, that was a hell of a game to watch. Lions found a way to get it done. Against Green Bay.
52:20But they got a huge one next week against the Buffalo Bills, who just had a huge loss to the Rams. Yes. Big loss. A lot of people are saying game of the year, maybe. Dude, it was insane. It was a 42-44. Like, that's, I mean, that's a high-powered, two high-powered offenses going at it right there, man. It was. It was. What it was, was high-powered quarterback play. These guys were playing out of their mind. Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen were going off. The Rams dominated the majority of the game. I kind of hesitate to say that, but they did. They were winning for the majority of the game. They were winning by more than one score the majority of the game.
52:57Josh Allen in the second half was impressive, to say the least. He was scrambling. He was making big throws, whether it was to Mac Hollins or what is it, Shakir. He was a man on a mission to come back and will the Buffalo Bills to victory. And we just talked about the fourth down decision with Dan Campbell. The fourth down decision by McVay in the Rams to go for it on fourth and five, which ultimately led to a Puka touchdown, was absolutely enormous. Hell of a route by Atwell. coming across the middle of the field. Hits Atwell, then all of a sudden, Puka scores on a screen. The very next play, Puka went off.
53:34That catch on the sideline? The toe tapper? What the heck? Dude, that dude is so good, man. Yeah. Storm and Mormon, man. Rams are coming on. Now that they're all healthy, Cup is back. Puka's back. O-line is healthy. Matthew Stafford could still sling that ball. My God, Demarcus Robinson having a fucking hell of a year this year. D-Rob, man. Fuck, I love you. Go DeMarcus. Go DeMarcus. Are the Rams an NFC sleeper team, or are they – everybody – nobody's sleeping on the Rams. I think that people might have been sleeping a little bit when they were injured, but I think everybody now is definitely not sleeping.
54:11You know, Stafford and McVay have been proven to be very, very good. They can put up points with the best of them. So, yeah, these guys are – now that they're all healthy, now that everybody's back, you can tell they're getting dialed in again. And it's going to be interesting to see how the NFC West plays out. But the Rams are full bore. And for some non-football news, how about that? Getting into some non-football news. Juan Soto just signed arguably the most ridiculous fucking contract I've ever heard in my life. Oh, my God. Is that real? Yes. I mean, we're like five to ten years away from seeing an MLB player make or sign a like a billion dollar contract 15 years i remember when he was insane it's a 15 year that just seems like so outrageously long how old is he how old is one soda i think he's only 25 he's under contract with the new york mets until he's until he's 40 the mets that's a big gamble that just seems so outrageous and it's all guaranteed guaranteed yeah 41 he's 26 right now so he's uh he's under contract until he's 41 how the fuck this is good job i mean the baseball union i don't know how this they finagled this stuff but wow they've been around for years and years and they've been around for fucking over centuries together 15 years that seems like a joke you know what i mean like that just doesn't even sure i'm not sure if the 15 years or the 765 million dollars that comes with those 15 to me it's less of the 765 million i mean that's outrageous number you're expecting him to play as good as he's playing right now until he's 41 that's what just blows my mind i mean i in 15 years i guess the thought is in 15 years or even just in 10 years the salary cap is going to be drastically different because inflation and how that works but it just feels like i mean it's an outrageously long contract it's mind-blowing my mind can't really wrap my head around it per pet mcafee he's gonna make five thousand nine hundred and two dollars an hour for the next 15 years that's a pretty good salary god damn it it's pretty good pretty good pretty good pretty good congratulations juan soto yeah and he was i mean i got to see it live in action that dude is a fucking beast yeah he's really i mean there's a I mean, the reason he's got paid$765 million over the next 15 years.
56:43Yeah. Pretty good. Damn. Is it a vanilla contract, though? Like, what is it? Who knows? Is it deferred? There's got to be all sorts of stuff in there. Is he getting paid until he's, like, fucking 80? There's got to be all sorts of stuff in there. All right. And once again, Bold Topics is brought to you by Amazon Prime.

Before we get out of here, we're going to answer some not dumb questions that came to the Heights Hotline. No dumb questions.
57:12This is brought to you by Disney's Mufasa, The Lion King. I love these kind of movies, man. It's like that CGI - Live action? Yeah. I love that shit, man. I'm so in on this. I don't know what it is about movies where fucking animals are talking, but I love them. I don't care whether it's live action, whether it's cartoon. I just fucking love them. Let's get to the first caller, intern Brandon. First caller. What's up, boys? My name is Jason, and this is my question for hashtag no dumb questions. Now, you guys have probably been asked this a thousand times, but what is the worst, and I mean the absolute worst place you could take a woman on a date?
57:52Like, bottom of the barrel, like, there's no way in hell you're getting a second date if you take a girl there. All right, now, boys, take care. Nah, nah. I got a few coming to mind. anything that she has no idea was fucking going on yeah i don't know man what is a worse i've only thought of like good date ideas i've never thought of the worst date ideas i mean i feel like a lot of times it's really what you make of it and your attitude and stuff that really yeah i feel like i can make anything shake maybe don't take her don't take her to the strip club i don't fucking know that's a good one definitely don't take her to the strip club don't do that although some strip clubs do have really good wings i have heard yeah me too don't know anything about it i think i got something to go one time yeah strip club definitely don't take her to the strip club that's definitely the worst answer if she's not into sports don't take her to a fucking sports game no take her to a sports game if you're into it i don't there's nothing worse than trying to teach somebody about something that they don't want to be taught about well listen if she doesn't have the open mind to freaking go then you don't want to go on a second date with her it's okay nice i mean i'll go listen i i don't want to watch love actually but i'm going to watch it because kylie wants to watch it so we're going to watch love actually that's part of being an open-minded considerate partner it's a good point so i guess what we're trying to say is there's no real worst date it's just you know picking the right woman to go on the date with yeah the worst first date location is to take her to some place that you don't want to go like if you're the one activating it like if you're saying we're going here we just had to find it out yeah we found it go someplace that you want to go that you think you'll be you're excited to take her yeah i think that's it there you go worst is the opposite of that you got it jason all right not you not you the other jason next caller next caller hey guys i was listening to this week's episode on my way to work.
59:52I'm about to go into the office. And I was just wondering why no one in the NFL plays, does the annexation of Puerto Rico play from Little Giants. I hope you answer this because I've wondered it for a long time. Thanks. Well, thank you for listening. First of all, appreciate you listening on the way into work. And I hope your day at work was that much better because you listened to us. And because you asked about the annexation of Puerto Rico, I'll let you know right now that it is arguably the worst play that you could ever run in an actual football game it works so perfect because there were kids and it was a movie and there's no fucking way in hell I will take this back I have seen it done in college games and I don't think it ended up being a game-winning touchdown but it did get some yards can we I I don't remember.
1:00:45Some of those one off. It's where they snap it. It's a fumble. Put it. They put the ball on the ground. Act like it's a toss. Yep. And then somebody else picks it up, puts it like, I don't know. The center like sits on it like he's see where it's at. Something like that. I got to see if it's a legal play. It's one of those old. It is a legal play for sure. Okay. Maybe. I'm not sure if the I don't know. I don't remember if the formation actually like, yeah, the initial like snap is changes possession because it has to it has to actually be possessed by the quarterback yeah for it to count as a legal snap yeah or to somebody we've seen it happen a lot some of these trick plays like the annexation puerto rico or like a reverse pass or a funky formation some of them are just it's the nfl like the people guys aren't getting fucking tricked I mean, guys get tricked all the time, Travis.
1:01:44I don't know, man. That's like you're a flanker. Your entire career has been tricking people. Nope. Not like that. Not like that. Well, I think Travis is on to something. It's probably not a play that's going to work very well in the NFL. Fun to watch in a movie. What's a kid's name that designs it in Little Giants? No idea. Yeah. Four Eyes? I can't say what that thing's on. That's the wrong character. but that guy's awesome too. No, that's the same character. No, it's not. Yes, it is. No, it's not. He's like the coach, essentially. Oh, the Fumbarooski. All right. Well, I need to go back and watch Little Giants again.
1:02:24What are these for? So the guys at the morgue can identify our bodies. No, what are these for? Intimidation.
1:02:39So fucking good. We got to remake Little Giants, man. All righty. That's it for No Dumb Questions. Brought to you by Disney's Mufasa, The Lion King. In theaters everywhere, December 20th.
