All righty, let's talk about the holy grail of candy, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Yeah.

That's right. You know them. You love them. And let's be real. You probably have a stash hidden somewhere right now. Tell me about it. Reese's cracked the code and literally created the perfect combo. We're talking about the chocolate shell creamy peanut butter center. There is something special about unwrapping that orange packaging and sinking your teeth into a Reese's cup.

That's right. That epic combo has been something that has been a go-to snack for many, no matter what they're doing. And here's a pro tip from two Reese's pros here. Try keeping your Reese's cups in the fridge. It keeps that chocolatey goodness nice and chilled for you. But be sure to hide it all the way in the back so nobody can take it. You know what I'm saying? Can't have Ed Kelsey sneaking in there at 3 a.m.,

stealing your stash. That's right. So why wait? See why Reese's peanut butter cups are our favorite. Buy Reese's peanut butter cups now at a store near you. Found literally anywhere you can find candy. What I do, suck the head? There you go.

Oh, go 45, 2CX. Baby, that's all we need. When you go to the bar after dark, smoke that crawfish head. Nice.

So in the charity challenge, you are now the first back-to-back winner in NFL history.

The Chiefs are going to try and be the first back-to-back-to-back Super Bowl winners. Okay, I see where you're going. Which one is more important, back-to-back charity award winner or back-to-back-to-back Super Bowl winner? I think the charity will thrive more if I win the Super Bowl.

In all seriousness, Travis and the 87 Running Foundation does a lot of fantastic work. He does. In the city of Kansas City. Even in Cleveland. Back in our hometown. Yeah, absolutely. You know it. So, shout out, Travis. Way to go. Let's do it. Let's do it. Nice. Jason on the call at the Pro Bowl. Hey, if you want to call it that. This past weekend.

Last bit of new news. We got Jason in the booth over there in Orlando for the Pro Bowl watching the flag football game. That's right. How was it, man? How was it on the other side of the Pro Bowl? The Pro Bowl was just a blast. It's fun to be down there. You get to see a bunch of

The best players in the world kind of being on the same field together, having fun, celebrating the fact that they're all incredible beasts. Yeah, for sure. It's like the superheroes of the NFL. Yeah, and I think that what they're doing now is better than what they did. I mean, the football game that they were kind of trying to play was pretty boring to watch. It was a tough thing to even be a part of, to be honest. It was tough to be a part of. Here's the problem.

Football is only good if people are trying to kill each other. I've figured that out. You're not lying. It's not a fun sport if you're not trying to kill each other. That's kind of the... The intensity and the aggression is what makes it inherently awesome. So when you're not trying to do it, it's like, what the fuck are these guys doing playing football for? Yeah.

And that's what it kind of felt like when you were playing in it. That's what I felt like out there. I was like, so I'm not, we're just kind of out here slapping hands? What are we? And then there'd be one guy trying to kill him. One guy. There'd always be one guy. Yeah, and everybody's like, why is that guy trying to play football? And you're like, this fucking asshole's playing football. What the fuck's wrong with this asshole? We're just trying to have fun.

We're all unioned up with this fucking guy. Yeah, he's trying to win a Toyota. You can buy a Toyota. I want the MVP. You got to leave the dollars. I want the MVP to get the free car. Like, yeah, well, I won the MVP. You still have to pay for the car. So anyways, what they're doing now, I feel like- The taxes on a Genesis aren't as low as you think they are.

So. Shout out to Genesis. Yeah, shout out. Shout out to the Red Rocket, man. Andy Dalton throwing me a deep cross. Shout out to the 60% free vehicle. All right, so we got what they're doing now with flag football. People will try for flag. That's a more like happy-go-lucky, let's go have fun. Yeah, I'm not here to kill anybody. And then you got the skill event. So now it's settled into something that is more,

you know, appropriate to kind of be in. And you still get to see some highly skilled people do flips in the foam pits. I feel like they should do dodgeball with footballs. Dodgeball with footballs. It's not a bad idea with Nerf balls. Yeah. No, like a full on. Like the Duke. You go with the Duke. That would hurt. Hit you in the face. How bad do you want to win? Yeah.

There's a lot of guys that can't throw a football, surprisingly. I can't throw anymore. It would expose some guys. I can't throw anymore. There's some players in the NFL that I've seen try and throw a football. You'd be able to get this thing all the way back there and just come down. No, you can do it.

You can still get one in. That elbow is tight. Then it's going to get tight. Yeah. It's bad. But no, the Pro Bowl was awesome. Being up in the booth was great. I got a good bit of advice from Dan Orlovsky. Shout out to Dan. I was going to- Nice, Danny. I went to Disney the following day with the fam. Nice. And Dan gave me the shout out, said, hey, go to the Dawa Bar, Animal Kingdom, to Jungle Juice. Ooh. It was perfect. All right, Dan. It tasted great. Perfect level for walking around with a bunch of kids. Yeah.

It's ideal. It really made the Safari 10 times better. Did you know more words? That rhino's a movement. I don't give a fuck. This is great.

I love it. Shout out to Dan for the secret, to the secret to Animal Kingdom. Yeah, it was the best. Was it cold around the park? The last time that I went down to Orlando for the Pro Bowl, it was absolutely freezing. Yeah, it was like that last year too. It was cold. But this year it was like 80. Nice. It was perfect. Sun was hidden behind clouds. Would you want 80? You don't want sun out with 80. That's dangerous. True.

A little dicey. Yeah. Down there. But no, it was good. It was good temperature. Find out Scott Van Pelt doesn't like roller coasters. What? Yeah. SVP. I found a lot of times with taller people. Now, you're pretty tall. You like roller coasters. I'm in. I was not in when we were kids, though. Took me to become a man. I feel like there's something to do with height. To get on the Millennium. Dude, the Millennium floor is crazy. The Millennium. I used to have nightmares about the Millennium.

I think that's... Maybe that's why... And I always... You always loved going on it. It's the best. It's the best ride still to this day I've ever been on. Millennium Force, Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio. Best roller coaster there is on the planet. I don't care what anybody says. I mean, it's hard to argue that one. Yeah. Well, you can't because I just said I don't care what you said. I finally went on it. I went on all the roller coasters and then finally was like, all right, I'm going to do Millennium Force. This is like when I'm like in high school or maybe even when I was in college. But I am...

When you get to the top of that thing, because it's right on the lake, it's on Lake Erie and Sandusky, Ohio. It's beautiful, picturesque. By the time I got on there, the sun was going down and everything was kind of shining off of the water. And I felt like the whole thing was just going to fall into the water when I got up there. I blacked out. Yeah. It was terrifying. That's a bad feeling. And then I overcame my fear. Yeah. And I didn't black out.

I keep trying to get my kids to just go and do stuff because I feel like that's how I overcame it. You just go do it. And they're like, oh, that wasn't that bad. Dude, that's how hockey was for me too. My kids will not do it. They won't do it. I didn't ice skate. I mean, they can't go on anything that extreme right now. Dad literally just threw me out there and then pushed a cane at me. He pushed like a walker at me, like an old person's walker. That always worked for us. I used it to get up and then he was like, do a lap. Yeah. I was like...

All right. And then by the time I was- And then by the time you're done with the lap, you're feeling great. I don't need this thing. I was flying around. Couldn't stop, though. Couldn't stop. Had to figure that one out. It doesn't work for my kids, though. They just act like I'm being like a bad dad by forcing them to do stuff they don't want to do. And that's part of being a dad. Yeah. Yeah. I respect it. Well, Kylie doesn't. She's like, I have to deal with this. Like, they'll be fine. Trust me. Trust Kylie. And Kelsey did this to me. We-

From experience. I'm just going to spin this little teapot around. Don't trust me. Yeah. Don't trust me either. It didn't work. Look at this guy. They don't. You're not going to trust this guy? Look at him. What?

I'm stressing this guy out. Who doesn't trust somebody with a mask? All righty, we're done talking about the Pro Bowl. We do want to talk about what everybody wants to talk about in New Orleans, which is a little bit of food and a little bit of drinks. That's right. As with a lot of the shows where we are remote, we like to do some things that are culturally specific and nothing says New Orleans like alcoholic beverages and weird foods. So we're going to eat some right now. First up, we got fried alligator meat.

And a hurricane. We've just been sitting here. We do. Travis. I'll get in on some gator nuggets. You'll eat alligator? Yeah. Travis, you won't eat alligator? You won't eat mayonnaise? You won't eat rabbit? Nope. You won't eat? Too gamey. Duck? Gamey. How do you know? I've had it. So you'll try meats. You just don't like white sauces. I'm not trying that white sauce. I know that's tartar sauce. That's tartar sauce? How do you know that's tartar sauce? I can see it from here. It's pickled. It's got pickles in it. Yeah, it's tartar sauce.

All right. I'll try the half mayo. I'll try the half mayo. It's all right. Let's go. I'll try the tartar. I'm not afraid to tartar up. These are pretty good. They're a little gamey. A little gamey, but... It always tastes so similar like chicken. It's the fried. That... They did have a smoked alligator. That yum-yum sauce isn't as yum-yum as I thought it was going to be. I'll try the tartar. It's really yum-yum. All right, you got it. You got it. The... Give me some of that. That gator. That gator.

It's damn good. Gator don't play that shit. I had some smoked alligator at Eagle's Tailgate because it's very traditional cuisine of Philadelphia as well. And it tastes a lot like lobster. They catch those fresh every day? Right out of Delaware. Nice. You're going to clean that whole plate, aren't you? No. I'm done after this because we got more food to review. But I'm going to get to this hurricane. You got the hurricane. It can't be. You're drinking like that. I know what those things do. Who made this?

Technically, Haley made it. Haley? Can we get Haley in here? What is in her bag? Where'd you get the recipe from, though? I've had these. Pat O'Brien's mix. Pat O'Brien's mix. Larry O'Brien's brother. I thought that was Pat O'Reilly. Yeah. That, too. Chug, chug, chug. Oh, man. That would have been awesome if he would have just... I forgot to put the mix in. Oh.

What is that? It's fucking rum. Is this straight rum? I think red with some red food coloring in it. Is there some grenadine in that thing? Get an accelerator. Get a cherry ice pop. That always goes well with them. Man, that's really good. I love hurricanes. I'm not going to lie. It feels like the most significant part of that is cherry. There's cherry in that thing? I have no idea. Yeah, cherry. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. What else is in there, big guy? Cherry. There's some orange in there. Yeah, you can see it.

Give me some. Outside of that, I don't know. I don't know what else. Orange. I'm getting a strong cherry and orange flavor. Cherry, orange, rum. And an overwhelming amount of Captain Morgan. Captain Morgan at that? It's not Captain Morgan. It's not spiced. It's unspiced rum. The old Brent Selick. My guy Brent Selick's out there fucking helping the Eagles defense. I saw you, Brent. Bearcat for life, my ass. I saw that shit. Zach Ertz was texting me about it. That guy's fucking. He's telling him my moves.

He's showing off. Do you think he knows your moves? Yeah, I'm not going to lie. It was pretty spot on. I watched the video. I know exactly what you're going to have a few changeups and curve balls and sliders and knuckle curves. I got all types of pitches. So fried alligator. What are you thinking? How are we rating this? One out of 10.

Honestly, I'm giving that a six. Nice. All right. And I don't know what that means, but we both were on the same page. Travis, you have not had this hurricane, but you have had hurricanes. I have had hurricanes. In the grand scheme of drinks that you would walk up and down a street with, where does a hurricane rank? I'm a Long Island kind of guy. You're going to walk up and down a street with a Long Island? Yeah. You drink a Long Island at a clubhouse bar like at a...

Like that's not, you don't walk up and down the street with a Long Island, like a sailor. It's just like, it's like a, just like jungle juice. It's just like a bunch of shit that you. No, it's way different. Long Island is like a classy jungle juice. Yes. Long Island is what you get at like a, you get at a bar. You can't walk around with a Long Island. It's not a walk around. I thought it was a walk around and sip kind of drink. I don't think so.

All right. Well, then what are we, what's a, I mean, all I know are just bourbon, bourbon street drinks. Bourbon street drinks. I mean, they are most synonymous with walking around. I don't do walk around drinks anymore, Jason. Remember that time I got an open container in college? Did I ever tell that story on air? No, please. I was, I just turned 21. I just turned 21 and I went to a house party in Cincinnati and the cops come to like, tell us to shut the fuck up.

And the cop walks through the door and he, and everybody starts running. Cause there's a bunch of under eight. Like I was like barely over 21. Everybody else is like under 21. So they start skedaddling and I'm like, I'm good. I'm good, baby. I'm drinking, drinking a beer in front of the cop. He's like, do you live here? And I said, I'm 21. He said, I did not ask that. Yeah.

I said, all right. He's like, do you live here? I said, no. He said, I suggest you get the fuck out of here. And I'm like, all right. Yes, sir. We start walking to another house. We're like four blocks away. And like, I'm, I am not exaggerating. We are like maybe three houses before I'm in that front door. I reach into the case, take a can of beer out, crack it. Guy pulls up, rolls his window down. Same cop. Well, well, well, if it isn't Mr. 21. Yeah.

Oh, he gave me a ticket so fast. He's like, you know, if you know this, but you're not allowed to have an open container. And I was like, and he left one of his deputies behind to like give me the ticket. Oh, yeah. And the deputy is like, yeah, you can drink the whole thing. I don't care. He's making me do this. So, yeah, I deserve it. That's what happens for sure. That's hilarious. All right. That's enough food and drink for right now. Let's toss it to Peyton and Eli. I'm sure they'll be able to give us their...

Ideas of where Hurricane and Fried Alligator rank. Oh, yeah, they're definitely pros. Expertise with New Orleans. Ole Miss. Ole Miss. New Orleans. Where is Ole Miss? I think it's in Mississippi. Well, I know it's in Mississippi. I didn't know. Thank you. It's in Oxford, Mississippi, Jason.

Before we keep going with the show, it's time for Travis to get out of here because he can't be here for this next segment. Joining me now is our good friend, Intern Brandon. Our good friend. We've only got one game this weekend. What game parlays are we going to build this week? I am looking at Pat Mahomes.

Two plus passing touchdowns. I like that. I think with the game on the line, the Chiefs will go to Pat. I think they're going to run some of that shit at the goal line again. We're going to see some corndog we've never seen before. They're going to leave the ball in Pat's hand. I like that. And then Jalen Hurts, anytime TD score. And that is rushing. I think that could be a tush push. It could be maybe some quarterback design runs. Yeah. And I know this is one you have –

You're a specialist in this. Coin toss. Tails never fails. Those are our three picks. Pat Mahomes, over two touchdowns. Jalen Hurts, anytime TD scorer. And tails.

This has been long, long waiting. Oh, yeah. And we're happy as hell to get you. Jason, why don't you do the honors and give them the intro? You got it, Trev. From Newman High School, New Orleans, Louisiana. Woo-hoo! A combined 18 Pro Bowls, four Super Bowls, three Super Bowl SEPs, two Walter Payton Man of the Years, and one of them is still undefeated in the Pro Bowl. Please welcome Payton and Ely.

There we go. I like that, Jace. We're just going to bring you with us wherever we go. Give us that. Dude, I will gladly be your guy's permanent hype man. I think down here he actually comes with a band. I think it's like a whole thing. I want to get one. Do you guys know a good band that can be? Yeah, has Newman High School got a good marching band or what? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Solid. Really solid. Solid. Solid. Solid.

I could think of a few others that might be a little better. We can start with Newman. Let's start off with the Pro Bowl, man. You guys went head-to-head down at the Pro Bowl. Yeah. And, yeah, Eli. Got the three-peat. Yeah, you got the three-peat, dog. How does it feel? How does it feel just –

Peyton's officially on the hot seat, I think, as coach. I saw some breaking news headlines kind of appearing on social media. So, I mean, if he does get fired, I'll probably hire him as my special teams coach. Quarterback coach or water boy or something. I mean, the problem is, just to be honest, is that

There's a lot of pro bowlers every year that are starters that just happen to be on the Chiefs, but they're not eligible to play in the Super Bowl. And I'd be a game changer in that game for you, Peyton. You know I would. Travis, I kind of blame you and Patrick. How's that?

The Chiefs' fault. The Chiefs' fault. Yeah. Eli, I do got to ask you, was that your idea with Turpin? Whose idea was that on defense? Just blitz Turpin every single snap. I thought that was genius. Yeah. You know, the special teamers, you know, they kind of have rules around we want the offensive guys playing offense, defensive guys playing defense. The special teamers, you know, that –

We don't have any special teams. There's no kickoff returns or punts. So there's kind of – they can freelance. You can use them however. So I said, hey, I told Larry Foote, I said, you know, Turpin's your special blitz guy. He's fast. He can run. Had a couple sacks. He's not going to get tired. Like, you know, the first series we were rushing some outside linebackers. They were kind of rushing in there because they don't want to drop people.

These guys are professional rushers. They're not drop guys, covers guys. But then Burrow was running right by him. So Turpin got the call pretty quickly. I loved it. I loved it. Payne, we also had your son Marshall out there. Maybe throwing better than –

All the quarterbacks there. I mean, this was a – I think we got a clip here. Does every – like Manning get a chance to throw the pill? Are they just like – it's just in them to be able to huck it or what? Well, it's kind of like I told Eli –

We were not raised to be kickers. We were raised to be quarterbacks. That commercial, by the way. That's kind of all we know. Can't outrun anybody. Certainly can't kick. But, yeah, look, that's kind of why I sort of coached the Pro Bowl, Travis. I mean, my son Marshall, for the past three years, gets to warm up.

Joe Burrow, you know, the best quarterbacks in the NFL. I don't know how you beat that. He's playing catch with Jamar Chase and, you know, Pat and Go with Justin Jefferson. So what a cool moment for him. The kid in me is so jealous of Marshall, man. That is such a cool opportunity for him to go out there and have some fun with the gang. I'm sure he's absolutely living it up, man. Oh, no, no doubt.

He loved it. And like I said, I'm not happy about losing Eli. And I feel like if it has to be like a brother's thing, coaching the Pro Bowl, and I cost –

You know, his job as well. There's only one other set of brothers that I know of that has an NFC-AFC connection. You know, Jason seems eligible. You know, Travis, I'd keep playing as long as you can. But I feel like when that time comes, I think my job is definitely a jeopardy if the Kelseys want to take over the Pro Bowl. Tell you what, I can put a mean run game in that flag football outfit. Yeah.

Oh, it'd be lateral central if I ever got the chance to coach that thing up. Speaking of brothers, we're tied right now with Super Bowl victories, Kelsey's and Manning's, four apiece. Does that mean the Mannings are officially pulling for the Eagles?

I'd love for me to pull for the Eagles, like being in the division, you know, but it's a little bit easier this year with Saquon being there and having him be a teammate. You know, I think in these situations, you really, you root for players, you root for coaches that you know. And, and I mean, obviously, you know, a lot of connections, Travis, you know, rooting for you to win it, win a Superbowl, rooting for,

I knew he was on my side. Andy Reid and all the guys. But, you know, it's a little more difficult, the Eagles, but with Saquon there, you kind of want all those guys to experience winning a championship. Obviously, Travis, you've done it many times, and to go for a three-peat would be unbelievable, but you know that feeling, and you never get tired of it. So do you, Jason. You know that feeling of winning.

of winning a championship and you want all your, all your pals that you've met or played with to have that, that feeling at least one time. I mean, my question would be, Jason would be if we're even, you know, really with the amount of rings that,

I know certain teams, certain owners, when they win, they give rings to alumni who are just integral in creating the culture of the team. I can't think of a guy more significant in creating that tough, run-the-ball, tough offensive lineman culture than you. If the Eagles happen to win, do you think you would get a ring? Do you think you deserve a ring? Let's just...

Let's just settle it right here because if that's the case, you and I are screwed in this competition. I'm getting a ring out of this game, nor are you. I mean, the Broncos at least made the playoffs. The Giants were eliminated after like week eight. You don't get rings to make the playoffs. You don't get rings. I will –

I will gladly decline any charitable ring that they're going to be trying to give out to me because I don't deserve any of it. But I had, I did lose my first Super Bowl ring in Nevada, Chile. I will take another one of those if they want to just print that one out again. I can take that one again. You were just talking about the, the big field goal kick you guys got coming up here. Gronk has missed it two years in a row, I believe. Are we feeling confident we can at least get one up and over?

Jason, we actually were in Orlando. We watched some film with Gronk. Gronk drove down from Tampa and brought film of his first two kicks. And we were kind of learning what not to do, right? Gronk had his whole family out.

out there the first kick. He had a full uniform on. He had a helmet. It was windy that day in Arizona. By the way, I think there's something about Gronk missing when the Chiefs are in the Super Bowl. That seems to be the theme. So hopefully that doesn't apply to us. Eli pulled a quad in practice. I don't know if he put that out of the injury report. That should change the odds. But I have a new respect for kickers. I've been so sore every time I've practiced.

I really don't know why it goes in and why it doesn't go in. There's no pattern to it. But I haven't pulled a quad. I'm healthy going into Sunday's Kick of Destiny 3, and I think I'm going to make it. Oh, I like it. I love the confidence. I'm healthy now. This is about six weeks ago. I did pull a quad. You've been practicing for six weeks? Yes.

Six weeks. Yeah, yeah. I started six weeks ago. Day one. I mean, it's lots on the line. I get it. He's just getting healthy, though. He's been on the sideline for a little bit. Yeah, no stretch, no nothing. I was just like, I'll just kick it a 25-yarder. I was like, put it at 25. I kicked one. It went in. I kicked the next one, and it went four yards with a pulled quad, and I limped. Oh, my God.

I kicked on Monday this week. It felt good. I didn't get to the full 25 yards, but I just kicked about a 20-yarder, and I think I'll be ready for Sunday. The trainer will get you that extra. They said they can give me a tortural shot now that I'm not a player anymore. I'm taking both. This guy's committed. Full throttle. I'm going game day mode, full warm-up, full super tee shot, get everything.

I cannot wait to see this, man. Jason actually had a similar experience where he got to respect the kickers a little bit as well. Trying to kick a field goal on college game day in front of Pat McAfee, man. It was classic. I was on a slant. I was on a slight angle in boots. Yeah. Well, you chose to wear the boots. No, that was part of the sponsorship I had. Shout out to Timberland. Great job, Timberland.

We are down in the Super Bowl. We're in New Orleans, your hometown. Oh, yeah. A couple Super Bowl questions. You guys have both worked with Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes, who have both attended Manning Passing Academy as high schoolers. Did you guys both know that they had the opportunity, or would have the potential to play in the Super Bowl one day? Jason, both those guys actually came to the camp as college players, as counselors. It's a high school football camp that we have college players come and serve as counselors, and in return, they're

Eli and I will spend time with them in between high school practices on their NFL aspirations. Jalen came twice, and you definitely just saw what a natural leader he was. Quiet confidence, just the way he carries himself. You can see why people want to follow him. And then Mahomes, just, yeah, his swagger just jumps out. I remember it was raining one night, and we were like, hey,

I'm not sure we want to throw tonight. You know, there's people out there watching. Oh, man, I'll rip it right now. Jeez.

He doesn't flinch. He doesn't care. I'm swinging at anything. That's exactly what he said. To me, that's just pretty telling. As you know, Travis, when you're in college and people are around watching, I don't want to throw it today. Maybe there's some coach up there or some GM that happens to have a kid at the camp. Maybe they're watching and maybe this hurts.

Patrick was just like, nope, I'll go out there and throw it. And so those are the two things I took away from having both those guys at the camp. And you see that has transferred to their NFL careers. And so I'm proud of both of them. They've been fun to watch. And I think that's why it'll be a great quarterback matchup on Super Bowl Sunday. Have you talked to either of these guys before the big game yet? I texted both of them after the NFC and AFC championship, congratulating them, wishing them luck, congratulating.

You know, both of them got back to me. I've kind of stayed in touch with a lot of the quarterbacks that have come through the camp. I think this past year, Jason, we had 26 of the 32 starting NFL quarterbacks were counselors at the Manning Passing Academy. So it's quite the fraternity. So Eli and I keep up with them, obviously talk to a lot of them, you know, getting ready for a Manning cast game, but just kind of wish them luck throughout their careers. And so I've kept up with Patrick and Jalen throughout their careers. Jalen reached out a couple of years ago about,

kind of the routine of the super bowl. And, uh, I sort of gave him my tips and pointers. He kind of knows that routine now, but Holmes, you know, uh, gets his mail sent to the super bowl every year. Cause he knows Travis does as well. So they don't have to ask me too many questions anymore about the super bowl routines. Well, you, you always got the best advice, big guy. I remember, uh,

Getting my first shot at SNL and getting the text from you to just enjoy the ride, man. I loved, I appreciated that. That made me feel so much more at home knowing that you believed in me to have fun and to do it the right way. So I appreciate that. But Eli, you actually had, you had somebody come up to you at the Pro Bowl and tell you that he was actually in the Manning camp.

Yeah. Wide receiver from Atlanta, right? Yeah. Hodge. Hodge. Hodge, there it is. Yeah, he came up and said he was a camper. He came his junior year. He was a quarterback, and he came to the camp. That's crazy. Obviously, we told him, I think you should try receiver. And –

We saw right there, it's like 7-on-7, he was playing receiver some, made some plays, and now he's making the Pro Bowl. He's a special team guy, but he's a receiver also in the NFL. And so there's some great stories. So we've had a couple guys

A couple guys, a couple quarterbacks in the NFL also. I think Russell Wilson was a camper. You know, not as a counselor, became as a camper in high school. The new coach of the Jaguars, Liam Cohen, was a camper. Liam Cohen? How about that? Nice. Oh!

So that's how old we are. We got coaches that were campers now. That's crazy, man. You guys have been doing it for a while, man. Me and Hodge have a similar story. I was actually recruited at Tennessee. David Cutcliffe was working me out, thought I had some potential to be a football player, not to be a quarterback. So Tennessee never offered me. But yeah, eventually made the transition over. If Travis would have been a camper, you would have sped his career up quite a bit, getting him away from the quarterback position. Exactly.

No, that's awesome stuff you guys do with the young guys, man, and always paving the way for the future, man. That's always good stuff. Thanks. Eli, you were talking about your former teammate, Saquon Barkley, and when we had Saquon on the show, we do a lot of the welcome to your NFL moments, and his welcome to the NFL moment was when, or at least he said, you shoved grass in his mouth. Oh, yeah. Yes.

Is this a confirmed story? Yeah, this is a confirmed story. Every year before the first –

preseason game. And, you know, a lot of these years, you know, kind of the starters aren't playing much and they're really going over a little bit that first game, what the routine is before the first preseason game. Like how do we line up? How do we stretch? Like how do you run out of the tunnel? Like all the, you know, Pat and go. So we're kind of doing those things.

And, you know, I'm kind of sitting on the sideline a long time. And I always kind of walk up to the guy, to a few of the rookies, and I'm kind of,

holding my mouth and I'm going, man, I got to get my mouth, my teeth been bothering me. I got to get my wisdom teeth pulled after the game. And they're kind of asking questions. I asked them if they've ever had their, if they have or had their wisdom teeth pulled, whether they say yes or no, I say, you know, can I see if, can I either see your wisdom teeth or do you still have holes in your mouth? And so when they kind of open up and look up and open their mouth, I got a big chunk or clump of grass

and dirt in my hand and I just throw it in there. And, you know, I've gotten like three or four guys on that first practice. I've gotten a few coaches. One time the best, Sean O'Hare and I were trying to get a rookie and Amani Toomer came over. Amani is like in his ninth year and he just

jumped in the conversation. We're not talking to him. And he opened up and O'Hara was a couple of grass in his mouth. That's so bad. We weren't trying to get you. You offered up this information. I couldn't resist. You volunteered yourself. That's amazing. Since we're on the Super Bowl,

Do you guys, either of you, have a welcome to the Super Bowl moment? I mean, I think, look, it was my ninth year playing in it for the first year. And just, you know, down in Miami, it was raining that year. It was the only Super Bowl that it really had rained. But I think...

Billy Joel sang the National Anthem. I think there's something about being on the sideline when that National Anthem plays, watching it all those years as a kid. Travis, my first Super Bowls as a kid were in New Orleans, obviously. I saw Montana beat the Broncos in the 89-ish.

89, 90 season, whatever that was. That was in New Orleans. Actually, it was in college. Came back and saw the Packers beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. So there obviously have been some great ones there in New Orleans. There'll be another great one with your Chiefs and the Eagles. But that national anthem is a...

I still get emotional watching it as a fan, you know, as an ex-player sitting at home. But I think when you're on the sidelines knowing this game's about to happen, that's something that kind of jumped out to me that I'm really here and I'm really playing in a Super Bowl. It was a pretty cool moment. You're firing me up just talking about it, man. 100%. You had the worst start to a Super Bowl with Hester just running back the opening kick. Yeah.

It was an emotional moment that kind of ended pretty quickly with Hester. We got to lock in, boys. We got to lock in. That's too good. Eli, you got one for us? Yeah, I mean, I think it's just for me, it was just trying to get that first completion. And I just remember, you know, you're just nervous. I mean, kind of a new nerve. And you played a whole season. You played playoff games. You played the NFC Championship. And all of a sudden, it's like a Super Bowl.

uh, just all the, all the, you know, the lights and the national anthem and everything going on. And I just remember, you know, I coach was kind of going through some of the plays and I was just like, coach, I'm just, I'm a little nervous. I want like a, I need a handoff the first play. Like, I don't want to, you know, I'm just, I don't know. I just got to get like breathe a little bit. So we got a handoff and I got my first completion next play. And,

And, you know, had a nice kind of 10 play, long drive, got a field goal. And then, you know, it was kind of back to normal. But it's definitely a different intensity and just, you know, two weeks to think about it. And there's so much coming on on this game and what it means to your team, your fans, your family. You know, so many people coming in town for it. So it's, you know, the heart's pumping a little bit harder that first series that was Super Bowl for sure.

100%. I still don't remember the first half of the one that I was in. I have no idea. I remember we started the game down 10 in my mind. I'm just like, how did this happen? Where did this? I need more now than ever. Travis, you've been running the wrong plays for the first entire half. I'm locked in, coach. I got it. I got it. I got to ask you guys as a center. Peyton,

You brought up Sean O'Hara, so I'm going to come back to you, Eli, because I do know Sean O'Hara very well. I also know Jeff Saturday very well.

There is a moment on the sideline between you and Jeff. Legendary. And you, I think everyone knows which moment I'm talking about. It's one of my favorite interactions of a quarterback center of all time. How quickly did you realize you were mic'd up? The whole time? Or it was just like mid-fury of just like, I'm tired of this guy bitching. I need to like... Go ahead. I mean, look, when you're mic'd up, to me, the sooner you can forget about it, the better.

I always knew I was mic'd up in pregame warm-ups because you put your pads on, you can see the tape over the mic, so you're just kind of thinking about it. Hopefully, once the game goes. We had run the ball all the way down there. Jason had a good run game. We were playing a Monday night game against the Rams. Ran it down there, and the Rams, inside the five-yard line, basically said, okay, enough's enough. They loaded the box. We had a run play called.

first down and second down, they were blitzing everybody. We audibled, throw, throw, incomplete. Now it's third and goal, throw again. So naturally, Jeff and the offensive line, just like all of you, are not happy. Like, you know, why did you run it to get down there? And now we're going to throw it. Throw it three times.

And so we sit on our separate sides of the bench, but I can hear them talking. I can hear them, you know, why are we throwing it? Just run the rock, run the rock. And I just, I kind of let it breathe, let it breathe. And finally I just snapped and I go down there and I'm all fired up. Then I realized, Travis, I mean, I am in enemy territory. The entire offensive line is right there.

ready to, you know, support their center and come right in the alley. Okay, let me kind of back off of this, but hey, I'll tell you a good Super Bowl story about Jeff Saturday real quick. Every Thursday during our entire career in Indianapolis, Jeff and I played together forever. We always did wet ball drills, right? Where, you know, we're taking snaps before practice and the

Equipment guy is spraying the water bottle on the football, creating the environment. And Jeff would get so mad, Travis, because he'd say, Peyton, we're playing in the RCA dome this week. There's no chance of rain. I'm like, you never know. You never know.

It's ritual at this point. You're going to prepare. Anyway, we do that for eight years, right? And every Thursday, no matter what, we get to the Super Bowl. It's raining like just cats and dogs. And we have zero fumbled snaps. The Bears have three fumbled snaps. And I say that's why we've been doing the wet ball snap drill all these years. So those little things pay off in the Super Bowl. They pay off. I love it. When you're a dome team, baby, that's good shit right there. Eli, do you have any of those stories with Sean?

Yeah. All your centers? Well, I had wet ball drill with Sean every single day. Every day. It's a spreader.

It would sweat so badly. It wouldn't rain. It was just swamp ass, huh? Yeah. I mean, this is before you're in shotgun every playoff. We're under center, I formation, and we're under center on first and second down every series, even third down sometimes. We were under center and dropping back and throwing the ball. So, I mean, I was getting a wet ball. I made him change his pants at halftime.

I've had to do that, unfortunately, a couple times. That's crazy. That's not easy. I mean, they basically have to cut the pants off because you've got your shoes are spadded. You can't just take off your shoes. You're taped up. You're taped up. Yeah, everything else. I mean, he's on his back just laying there, and people are ripping him off. It's not that hard to get the pants on, but putting dry pants on a wet body is not an easy feat, especially over the sleeves.

So he was not happy about that. He was ready for November to hit, the cooler weather. I didn't make him change the pants. But we didn't have any fumbled snaps just because of all the wet ball drill. Just standard wet ball drill. So good. So good.

All right, let's get off the centers and get on some tight ends, baby. You guys both played with some great ones. Jeremy Shockey, my guy Dallas Clark, absolute legends, man. I remember coming in and wanting to be like Shockey. He was such an energy. He looked like a force to be reckoned with every single time he played the game. And Dallas Clark, I mean, his fearlessness over the middle, Peyton. I don't know how many times –

I saw you guys throw a bender and cover two, and he just went up there and just got smoked for the team. He's just no gloves on, just going up, just running through a wall for a guy. Shockey's bender is a little bit different than Dallas. Shockey, when you have a bender, that word means something different to Shockey. I had to ask, though, what do you think it is about tight end and quarterback relationship that really gets the best out of the offense?

I mean, to me, look, they're closer to the quarterback than the Z or the X or the slot. They're right there. Just kind of three players away, right? Guard, tackle, tight end. So they're kind of one of the last guys that you kind of almost break the huddle with, I feel like, Travis. You can always – I mean, I see Travis and Patrick talking as they're breaking the huddle. And so you can kind of get the last word in, hey, hey,

If they blitz, you know, break hot. Hey, look, watch out for cover two man. Give the guy a little stick to the outside before you bend it. And so I think just that little extra conversation, maybe that closer proximity kind of creates that tight end quarterback bond. And I always felt like I knew where Dallas was going to be. Look,

what Patrick and Travis have created is a whole different level, but it's just a real comfort zone. And I love Dallas. Like you said, he was fearless across the middle. We were down there with Kittle. He was talking about tight end you and how Dallas still comes back and works it. So it's a special connection when you have a quarterback and tight end that have that feel for each other. There's a confidence there. And I felt that way with Dallas and obviously Dallas

you and Patrick have had that forever. I think the other thing with, with the tight ends and quarterback, it's harder for a team to, to double a tight end. And, you know, you might have a receiver in the outside. Hey, we got to take away this receiver. We're going to play two man or a double him in different ways or play certain zones to take him away where you kind of, some of your staple plays on first and second down, you know, Hey, you're going to have a, a,

a matchup in the offensive favor of a tight end on a linebacker possibly where, hey, we can run a stick route. We can get our completion. So I think you just have a lot of your high percentage completion plays are kind of the tight ends, the number one read. And if they do take him away or they have bad leverage, you should have one-on-one with your receivers and get through your progression. But I just think kind of some of your staples and your comfort plays, it starts with the tight end being that first read.

Nice. And we can all confirm that you got to get that bond off the field and have some beers. How many times do you go on a bender with Shockey? I don't have any benders. No benders with Shockey. But definitely, you know, we hit the town in New York, New York City a few times those first couple years. He showed me some spots that I haven't – I definitely haven't been to since. Let's say that. So –

I love him, man. Shout out to Shockey, baby. I got to ask this. I don't know if he's going to, but what would you guys, I mean, you guys know that Travis is kind of known for not running the route on the page. I'd assume. How would you guys have liked playing with a tight end that,

Freelance like that. Would you have been in favor of that? I'm not running the wrong route. I'm running what the quarterback wants me to run. It might not be what's on paper. He might not even know he wants you to run it. See, I would agree with Travis. I feel like Travis keeps...

keeps the offensive coordinator from kind of being one play away, right? You know, if you have outside leverage and you have an out route, I see Travis, you know, kind of just curl it in and Mahomes sees that and he throws it to him as opposed to saying, man, I wish we would have had the inside curl route on that play. So he's kind of a coordinator's best friend. And look, as long as the quarterback knows that he might do that, I think that's, that,

I mean, that makes it okay, right? If all of a sudden you're just going to surprise the quarterback and just make stuff up, that's one thing. But it doesn't look like to me Travis has ever surprised Patrick out there. He's just finding those kind of soft spots in the zone. And like I said, the coordinator looks like a genius. Wow, what an unbelievable quick call. You know, created the perfect –

location for Travis to be open. Meanwhile, Travis should have co-offensive coordinator as part of his title. Can you believe they called a hook and ladder play right there? I can't believe they did. Exactly. Eli, we're talking about it. You already told me you'd chew me out if I turned inside on stick.

On a wide stick. I would not have. No. You wouldn't have thrown it? Absolutely. Absolutely. I disagree with Eli. I see teams doubling you all the time. They just don't do it very well. They don't really take you away. They still –

That'll somehow leave you open. I don't really know why or how they do that, but, I mean, you beat the double teams, and like I said, if they're doubling you, that means somebody else has got to be single. That's a good thing. We'll get to our last segment here. It's called We Gotta Ask, But You Don't Have To Answer. You guys can tell us to fuck off if you guys don't want to answer these, but it's always fun, man. We close all our convos with this segment, and I'll get to the first one. Who got into the most trouble growing up? And you guys can even throw Cooper into this.

Yeah, definitely Coop. Coop. Yeah. He's very strange. The one brother that's not able to defend himself is immediately. Yeah. Coop kind of set the tone. And so we kind of knew.

you know maybe to do the same things without getting caught you know cooper's the one that got caught and so eli and i could kind of kind of learn from there there's something about them older brothers not knowing how to not get caught you got a flank you got to learn the art of flanking i got suspended every freaking year of elementary school for getting in a fight travis got into a fight and then went to the principal's office and got tickets to the calves game because everybody loved him so much that's because i was such a good artist jason let's

I won a contest. That was besides the fact. But, yeah, it was cool seeing Cooper up at the Super Bowl opening night last night. Was he in the marching band growing up? I mean, he wore that outfit pretty goddamn good. Absolutely not. I don't know where he got that costume. Zero band experience, I can promise you.

That's good. He likes the harmonica, though. If you give him the opportunity. Is he a harmonica? I would love to hear that. That's a lost talent right there. Can he bend the notes? Can he do like blues harmonica? Or is he straight? You got our band geek all fired up over here. I'd say he's new to it. It's all new. He's like a Bob Dylan. Just kind of. Yeah. Okay. I got you. All right. What's...

All right. Your pops, Archie, was also a quarterback on the NFL for 13 years. What advice did he give both of you guys? Slide. Slide. Slide. He also told us we're not very fast, so don't run. He could run. Good advice.

and he said, don't do that. Y'all are not fast. And when you get out there, get down, don't take hits. And, you know, we, we, we learned that the hard way, you know, it only takes one hit in the NFL. And you're like, yeah, I should have listened to dad. He's definitely right. Yeah. Definitely slide. Yeah.

Have fun. It always kind of the last thing you use to text us or if we talk to you on the night before the game is, hey, don't forget to have fun out there, which I think is a good reminder, especially in a game like this, right? You work so hard, you know, have fun. And also just kind of off the field, you know, be sure you have a great relationship and respect with your equipment manager, the video director, the people behind the scenes that you guys know that don't get nearly enough credit or attention on a television broadcast.

or sort of integral to the culture of a team. You know, just little things like that. It was nice having a guy who played in the NFL that could tell you about little things like that. Did you guys have any pressure to live up to, I guess, what Archie did? Because Travis and I, like,

We didn't have a lot to live up with Ed Kelsey. I'm just letting you know. There was a bar that was very low for Ed Kelsey. Don't you dare do that to me, Ed. Well, for football. For football. No, yeah. Mathly ball. Dad bar is set high for Ed Kelsey. Extremely high, yeah. You have to be. My dad didn't certainly try to create an environment where he was just trying to raise kids. He wasn't trying to raise NFL quarterbacks. And maybe that's why it ended up happening. Because, you know, he encouraged us to play sports.

because of the valuable lessons that sports teaches. But, you know, never once did we talk about this is what you have to do if you want to play in the NFL. It was, hey, work hard to be the starting quarterback on the JV. And after that, you know, maybe see if you can start on the varsity the next year. And his rule, Jason and Travis, was if we wanted his help, we had to go and ask him, hey, Dad, will you come to the school on Sunday afternoon and throw with our receivers? It wasn't him going, hey –

We're going to run two miles today. And I think it was a healthy approach because we wanted his help because he played the game. And I think that was a good approach that he took. And it made it fun growing up and never felt like pressure. Yeah, there was definitely more pressure on me trying to follow in Peyton's footsteps. He was five years older than me. You know, I go into the high school. He set every record. I'm going into college. He was just up for the Heisman. He was the first pick in the NFL draft. And it's, you know, it's like, geez, Luis, you feel like,

I didn't have to do the best at everything that I enter into and follow your footsteps. But he was a great big brother as I got older. He definitely picked on me and gave me wedgies and noogies and all those things, which I think helped me. It toughened me up and got me prepared for the NFL. But he always did, like in college, he would come back

and teach me the things he was learning in college. Hey, we're, we're, we're doing this on the three-step drop. And Hey, this is some of the drills we're doing in college. You should be doing these now, like get a head start on these things. So he did look out, you know, look out for me all the time. And, and, uh,

and probably put more pressure on me to do some of these drills than my dad did. Well, you guys got the formula. You guys got it figured out. Arch Manning is having an unbelievable start to his college career. But also, I remember I saw you guys playing knockout on TV when I was a kid, and I was like –

I'm brother and right because that's exactly how me and Jason played knockout growing up. Let's keep this thing moving though. Who has the most buns career stat Eli with the most career fumbles or Peyton with the most interceptions by rookie?

I guess mine sounds worse. It's over a career. His is just... I would agree. I would agree. It's because of Sean's sweaty ass. We already figured this out. Although my interception record, the 17 games, I thought for sure it would get broken. Nobody's coming close to it. I'm disappointed.

And they're throwing more now than you were throwing. More games, throwing more, and less interceptions. Stuff is not right. They've got to get to 10 in the first three games. If they can get to 10 in the first three games. You've got to get off to a good start. That's insane. You guys have a new documentary coming out, Razor's Edge on Vice.

Omaha's forthcoming follow doc on Coach Calipari. Oh, that's awesome. Arkansas's men's basketball team. What can you guys tell us about the doc? Yeah, it's just a cool behind the scenes. You know, Coach Cal's done it a long time and obviously making the big move to Arkansas. Just wanted to kind of document his first season. It's a changing landscape.

With NIL, Coach Cal was kind of known for just sort of coaching freshmen, right? Kind of the one and done. And now he's kind of changed his approach where he wants kind of older players. He doesn't have that many players. He's like, if I'm going to pay these guys –

I'm going to have a limited amount of players and play them all. So just to kind of take people behind the scenes of what it's like to be a SEC head basketball coach. He went back to Kentucky two nights ago and won, which was incredible because of all that he accomplished there, winning a national championship. Got kind of a, you know, some fans were clapping when he came back. Some fans were booing. They hadn't gotten over it, but he went in there and won. So,

Look, all these behind-the-scenes shows just give the audience a different view. So we're excited about it. Razor's Edge coming out on Vice. Hell yeah. That's awesome, man. I'm so intrigued in that. I'm definitely going to be dialed in. Fuck yeah. If you were both playing college football today, who has the higher NIL deals?

You got to go with Peyton again. I mean, the guy's, you know, he's a great spokesman. He's just. He could sell a product or what? Yeah. I wouldn't have accepted any of it. I would have given it all to my sitters and my tight ends. There we go. There we go. You can just lie to the camera like that. Oh, my gosh.

So good. How has the NIL stuff changed the landscape? Because you guys both have kids coming up. The documentary with Calipari, I'm sure, touches on the NIL. What are your guys' thoughts on NIL just in general? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's probably a better question for Travis. I mean, Travis, are you seeing any change in the demeanor of –

college players coming to the NFL because, I mean, to me, that's the biggest thing that I was worried about, you know, are guys coming in as hungry, you know, to try to make the team, to try to, you know, obviously win a championship, hopefully, but, you know, make some money as well. Are you seeing that, Travis? It probably just depends on the individual. Yeah.

It's I think it has a lot to do with the culture in KC. I haven't seen that our our number one pick Xavier Worthy has been nothing but the hardest worker on the team. He's just spent every single day grinding out trying to figure out ways to implement himself in the offense more and get better at the things that coach Reed asked him to do. So I definitely haven't seen it in in the rookies we've got at least. But yeah, who knows?

Yeah. I mean, to me, that's the thing that I want to keep is keep guys coming in hungry and trying to accomplish new goals and obviously help teams win. So as long as we got that going, you know, I'm OK. I'm with you. Nice. Well, last question. Hypothetically, if there had been an official Manning Bowl, who would have won?

Wow. I'll answer it. He don't want to say it. He's too nice. I mean, he is in the NFL games. I have not beat him in a real game. Now, you know, flag football, pro ball, I got that mastered. But I'm 0 for 3 any time we face them in a real game. And so...

But, you know, that's just the way it went those years. I guess it would have been – I don't know if it would have been fun to play in a Super Bowl or not. I mean, y'all did it. I can tell you right now, it was not fun at all, Eli. It was fucking terrible. I had a pretty good time. Yeah, you enjoyed yourself, I'm sure. No hypothetical on this end, guys. Hypothetical. Hip-hop, hip-hop, hip-hop.

Hey, Travis, Jason, the one thing Eli has no clue and no understanding, and believe me, he's proud of it, is what it's like to lose a Super Bowl, right? And it's a horrible feeling. Obviously, winning is as great as you think it is, and losing is as bad as you think it is. And so I'm kind of glad that it didn't happen because I know that was tough on you two, tough on your family, right?

And Eli and I played three times in the regular season. My parents were an absolute wreck and just in a regular season game. And now you take that to the Super Bowl and knowing, you know, obviously the attention a quarterback is going to get in a Super Bowl win or lose, knowing that one had to win and one had to lose. I probably wouldn't wish that.

on my family. So I'm probably glad that it didn't happen. And I think the way y'all handled that several years ago and the way your family handled it was first class. I know that was not easy. Yeah, well, I mean, I had lost it. I had lost one. I hear what you're saying, Peyton. I had lost a Super Bowl going into the game that we had. So I just had to make sure that Jason felt that

misery. That was just being a good brother. You guys know about being good brothers. Did you feel bad going out that night and celebrating by just knowing that your brother is crying in his hotel room and you're just fine just going out there and just... Well, you know, once you have a few beers, you forget about everything. I was not... I wasn't crying. I was pulling a Jeremy Shockey is what I was doing.

Eli, you brought up Spags. Eagles are playing one of the best defense coordinators in the history of the NFL at this point, it feels like. What would you do? What would your game plan be going up against that? Blitz packaging and everything that he can throw at you. Don't give it away. Yeah, I mean, not that I give away. Spags is the best. And I mean, we saw it.

It's the first time I've ever seen it in our first Super Bowl going against the Patriots where, you know, every time he had a strong side blitz and Brady made a call, hey, I'm going to pick it up, he had the defense reverse it and just kind of make a call and all of a sudden it came from the weak side and getting them to throw hots, getting them, you know, really just causing some issues, saying, hey, I can't be right with my protections. They're flip-flopping it sometimes. And so you just see it, you know,

Unbelievable. And last week's game, the last play, the fourth down against the Bills versus an empty formation of a four by one. He brings a will corner blitz on the biggest, you know, biggest play of the game and gets, you know, has a free runner going. So, I mean, that's his mentality. He wants the blitz, but it's not just, hey, we're bringing blitz zero. It's going to be some exotic blitz, some blitz. He hasn't done all game long.

All game long, he's not showing this blitz. When do you bring it? Fourth and five on the last drive in the most critical moment of the game. And so that's what makes him hard to prepare for is that, hey, how do I prepare for something I haven't seen yet or something they haven't done this year yet that he's going to draw up for these critical moments? And then when you think he is going to blitz, he fakes the blitz and going back to coverage. So –

Just when you think you got him. He's just a mastermind. He's a great leader. He's a great human being. Just one of the great people. And so happy for him, all his success. And I think, Travis, you know how lucky you are to have him on that defensive side, just being the leader over there. One of my favorite coaches of all time, baby. I'm right there with you, brother.

Well, fellas, thank you guys for your time, man. The Mannings have came through, man. One good brother to another, man. We love you guys. Thank you guys for leading the way, doing things the right way, and always lending a helping hand, man. We love you guys, man. Best of luck in the field goal kicks. I can't wait to see this field goal kick. Yeah. I don't know what I'm more fired up to watch. I've seen enough Super Bowls. I want to watch this field goal kick. That's what I want to watch.

Gumbo and crawfish or depending on where you're from, crayfish. All right, Jason, dive in.

well there's two spoons i think there's two for your right hand left hand are you not gonna eat anything i'm not eating that no what kind of gumbo is this chicken and sausage chicken and sausage another reason why i'm not eating it right there like chicken and sausage i'm not a sausage guy you're not a salt oh that's right even when it's cut up i thought that was just a phallic thing no it's it's just a whole like the way you ate that was disgusting

That's fucking delicious. Oh my God, that sound. It's so good. What the fuck was that like slurp? I could use a little hot sauce. Who eats like that? Somebody wearing a white t-shirt eating gumbo. I'm going to make sure you don't get any extra juice. I mean, you didn't hesitate one second. You went back for like... It's fucking, it's delicious. It's chicken and sausage in soup form with rice.

All right. I'm not going to lie. I don't even know how to fucking attack this. I've never had a crawfish outside of like, what do you mean? I had a crawfish. I cracked that fucker open. Am I eating the belly? I got crack. Locals, help him. Pop the tail off. Tail? Pop the tail off? Other way. Other way. What the fuck do you mean other way? That's his tail. There it is. Thank you. And I...

There it is. Of the tail or the body? Tail. So I'm only eating the tail. Optional to suck the head. Optional to suck the head. I'm going to suck that motherfucker's head if it's optional. How do I get this in? I don't know. I have no idea. I'm not even getting any fucking meat out of this thing. You've never ate a shrimp before? I'll tell you what, it's a bad idea to eat fucking crawfish on your goddamn lap in a white t-shirt. This is a fucking awful desire. Dude, you look great. I'm struggling. I'm struggling.

You gotta put your superhero mask on. That's why. Am I fucking doing this right? Is somebody telling me how to do this? 100% you are. You're getting it. There you go. See, you did it. It tastes great. But I'm kind of feeling the same thing I feel towards crab, which is just like it's a lot of work for like not that much meat. This is better than crab though. I dig that flavor. What I do is suck the head. There you go. Other way. This way?

I was gonna say, oh, go 45, two seats, baby, that's all we need. We can go to the bar after dark, smoke that crawfish head. Nice. Shout out to Afro Man. So you only eat the fucking tails of this thing?

The fuck? That just seems like such a waste. Look at how small its tail is. Oh, yeah. Well, I need to see what your rhythm's like, man, because I'm getting no rhythm, and I feel like this is a lot to throw away. That's why I'm sucking that head, dog. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Baby, that's all we need. Go to the farm. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

it's all in your beard this is great i mean on flavors alone 10 out of 10 nice it is fucking delicious but on difficulty of obtaining the meat and just pure waste i'm going like four but it's absolutely wonderful if i knew what i was doing i think it'd be a 10

We are here for a reason. There is the 59th Super Bowl in the history of the NFL being played. 59? Yeah. That's a lot of Super Bowls. If I'm reading my Roman numerals correct, it's 59. It is correct, yes. It continually gets more confusing when they start adding L's. The L's always get you. At what point are we just going to have to abandon Roman numerals because nobody's going to have a fucking clue what the Roman numeral means?

It's like cursive. Yeah. They don't even teach the kids anymore. So X is 1. 10. 10. Yeah. That's right. I is 1. V is 5. X is 10. L is 50. 7. What's the most complicated Roman numeral number you can, like, long, we can come up with? It would be like, so couldn't it be like 500 is just 5 C's?

There's 500. I don't know if this is the Super Bowl talk everyone wants to hear. The largest number that can be represented in Roman numerals is 3,999, which is written M-M-M-C-M-X-C-I-X. Well, there you have it. We're going to have to ban Roman numerals at Super Bowl 3,999 because...

Good luck selling that merchandise. All right. With this being your fifth Super Bowl, does anything change with how you approach this game? Are you going to abandon all the other things that have allowed you to win? No. I'm going to stay true to those, particularly the second half of those games. Try and start this one nice and fast. I got to say this because I get – okay. So, everybody brings up the halftime being long.

Whenever somebody goes to – so for those of you that don't know, the halftime is longer. Typically, it's like 15 minutes. It's not that much longer. It's 10 minutes more. I don't know if I am just like so anti-organized –

have me do anything on game day. You're preaching to the choir. I cannot stay like, they're like, okay, we need to stretch at this and do this. Like, motherfucker, it's 10 more minutes. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting a cold down. I'm going to eat an Uncrustable and get my mind right for the second half. I don't need you to tell me to stretch my quads. Make sure everybody knows that is the key at halftime is the Uncrustable. Get you an Uncrustable, a Capri Sun, and go ahead and enjoy yourself. I think a lot of the times it gets over...

Well, I guess I'm one in one. You are clearly a better record. Do you feel like people overthink that portion of the Super Bowl? You know what? Selfishly,

Yes. But in the grand scheme of things, people do like structure and people do like to kind of be under, you know, some sort of regimen. I think it helps guys in their first couple years or at least it did in my first Super Bowl to just relax, understand this is how much time is going going on and.

it gave me something to do did i stretch the next time no but i you know i understood what i was capable of doing at that point i understood the system i understood like what was happening it was i was more familiar with the yeah the entire super bowl system so it's just like i didn't do a lot of the stuff i did my first year maybe it's because i played a position that mentally you were making calls and trying to like discern like what do we do what's the plan but i think you're very much wired that same way

I would have much rather taken the more allocated time and be like, hey, let's talk about what we're going to do in the second half even more than we get allotted time.

In a regular halftime. Because a regular halftime, you're speeding through. You're like, okay, this is what they're giving us. These are the coverages we're seeing. These are the runs we're getting to. These are the concepts we like on third down. Yada, yada. Let's go out there and play ball. It's like, no, let's actually talk about, like, what are the first 10 plays we might run coming out of the second half and, like, really dial in on this stuff rather than, you know, do a quad stretch. Somebody might need that quad stretch. You're right.

And if Jason Kelsey doesn't need it, Jason Kelsey ain't going to fucking do it. I just feel like just drink yourself a fucking water and sodium. Get you some pickle juice. Yeah. Eat you an Uncrustable. Maybe snag an orange. Jog back out to the field. Guess what? You'll be warm again. I'm also just anti-stretching in general, so I'm not the person to ask. Two World Wars. Two World Wars. I played in fucking world record consecutive games for the Eagles. Maybe I'm on to something. Stretching is overrated.

Push-ups, sit-ups, jumbo jacks, two more. The only two times I pulled a muscle, and I'm not making this up, is when I was doing yoga. I was in a yoga class in college, pulled a muscle.

Then I started doing some yoga in the NFL one year. I did like a yoga class very same week, pulled a muscle. And I'm like, this stretching shit is for the birds, dog. It ain't for me. But to answer your question, I think over the last four Super Bowls that I've been to, I am at a completely different place as a leader.

So I feel like getting everyone comfortable is my biggest thing. Because I'm going to go out there and I'm going to be, you know, I'm going to play my style of football because I'm confident in where I've been and how I've gotten here and things like that. But we got a lot of new faces that haven't been in the Super Bowl yet. And I'm sure it'll hit them like it hit me my first really two Super Bowls. And it'll surprise them how emotional it'll be.

for them. So trying to weather that storm and make sure they feel comfortable. And the biggest thing, man, is if adversity hits, man, band together, man. This is a team sport, brother. You didn't get here alone and you got guys fighting right there with you. You hit the nail on the head. I think having the structure is nice for the guys that want it there. And then if you don't want to do it,

most of the coaches realize the older guys that want to get something else accomplished yeah go do your thing they're not going to push back on it we're just making sure everybody feels comfortable and not letting the moment get too big yeah that's gonna be my biggest like concern is just making sure everybody feels comfortable and playing our style of football man i'm uh

I think we're playing the best team that we've played yet, and it makes sense going into the Super Bowl. I think offensively, defensively, special teams-wise, both teams match up really good. At the same time, I got all the confidence in the formula that we've had under Coach Reed and just how we do things in KC. I believe in the guys next to me, and if we play our style of football, man, we're going to put ourselves in a good situation. That's the biggest thing, the emotions of the game can –

cause people to do uncharacteristic things that they normally wouldn't. Yeah. So how do we avoid that? It can either make you timid or make you way too ballsy. Yeah. Or it can make you just right. If you weather it right. If you weather it right, it can be perfect. It's like, oh, this is the biggest game. I got to be great. I got to go do something crazy. Or you can way overthink it. I've done both. I've done all of these. Yeah. I've done absolutely all of these. A lot of fans are asking if Pat is okay after the Mavericks traded.

His favorite player, Luka Doncic. Oh, yeah. They trade him to the Lakers in case you live in a sewer. Pat's tweets almost gave the Chiefs a heart attack. He said, I'm sick right now. And everybody was like, wait, what?

Yeah, I knew exactly what it was because – Yeah, you were probably with him. Well, yeah, I'm in a few different group chats with him and everybody was like, Pat, what the fuck is going on in Dallas? Obviously, a Dallas kid and grew up a huge Dallas sports fan. It's been at countless games. We were actually at a game and I got to say what's up to Luke. We talked about it on the show. Did Pat say what's wrong with the – what happened? I'm pretty sure nobody knows exactly what happened other than the GM –

Even Mark Cuban came out and I was listening to my guy, Jan Parsons, talk about it. He said, yeah, I don't have any idea what's going on. It's still up in the air on if it was the good move, the right move to make. Did you see what was the... What do you think the equivalent... Well, you don't even watch the NBA, so I got to... I watch some of it. All right. I have not watched any this year. Who's in the number one seed for the East? I just told you I've not watched any this year. I know it's not the Sixers. Yeah.

You're right. They are struggling. It's the team that honored you and gave you a jersey that you sat courtside at, Jason. Nice. They're balling like that. I knew they had a good start to the year. I have not followed them. Damn it. Go Cavs, baby. It's our year. Let's go. But at the same time, yeah, that tweet and everything kind of got confusing, but Pat's good. Pat's all good. He's not actually sick. He's healthy.

All right, this is where I can go. I can't wait for this Sunday, man. I'm so freaking fired up. If it wasn't for the Mannings getting me fired up talking about the national anthem or Jason talking about how he'll be happy if the Eagles win. I am so fired up for this game. I love it.

And I just want to relish in these moments, man. I've been waiting all year to fast forward to this game, man. What's the most electric national anthem? You already know it's Chris Stapleton. There's just no one even close. I've seen him on a sad day. I will put that video on. I'll go to YouTube. Just to watch Nick Sirianni cry and then revel in the fact that you beat us. Um,

I never looked at it like that. Chris Jones cried too, to be fair. I cried, but I kept my composure. Yeah. But more so, Chris did his thing in one of my favorite performances ever. Yeah, it was very electric. Nice. Well, let's get to our last food review. Can you make folks feel what you're feeling, son? All right, Brandon, bring the king cake and the beignets in. Oh, yeah. Woo-hoo!

Trav, are you allowed to eat this? No, but I am. What? Wait, are you allowed to eat it or are you not allowed to eat it? No, I'm not allowed to eat this, Jason. But for the sake of the show, I will eat this. You're willing to do something like that? What if Andy came in right before you were about to take a bite and took it out of your mouth? I'd fucking offer him one and see what happens. Ha ha ha ha ha!

All right, which one are we going at first? King cake or beignet? Let's go cake. The beignet is going to be messy. It's the closest one. All right. Oh, I love the texture of that cheese. The cinnamon blind. So what is a king cake? Cinnamon roll. Yeah. Glazed cinnamon roll. Glazed cinnamon roll. There's a little bit of like a minty frosting in there. It's not your typical frosting. There's something in the frosting for sure. I think it's sprinkles. You think it's minty sprinkles? Yeah.

i'm not gonna lie i'm getting zero mint it tastes like something from philly to be honest like something i would get at wawa's it tastes like a cinnamon roll with frosting and sprinkles on it i'm giving it a good seven it's very good yeah it's almost like a honey bun that's i was going tasty cake it's kind of like a tasty kind of like frosting yeah it's a good loaf of bread for sure well big good big good bake yeah good big good rise on it where are you going i went seven out of ten

It's no tasty cake anymore. It's hard to give like a number when you don't even know what like are we rating it on just like a baked goods? Yeah, we're rating. Seven out of ten. There you go. Beignet, let's go. How do you spell beignet? B-E-I-G-N-E-T. You just read it. Cheater. Probably there's enough sugar. This is my crib tonight.

I will eat all of those. So what is... Are you supposed to do anything with a beignet other than like... I've never... First of all, these fucking beignets are huge. I've never seen beignets this big. That's my kind of shit right here. Are you supposed to like dip them in something or just eat it? Eat it. Do you typically have these with coffee in the morning? Like a donut? Are these good beignets? These are fucking... These are good beignets. Oh, dude. It's just a... It's a funnel cake in a... In a... Like a...

In a donut fashion. I can get on with this. One more week, Travis. I love funnel cakes. One more week. Get me out of there. Get me out before it's too late. Beignets are really hard for somebody with facial hair. I don't know if you can tell. I feel like I'm wearing it. You look good. You already have white in your beard, though, so it just blends. It just blends in.

I can't wait till my beard is fully white. Dude, it's almost there. It's getting there. You're going to be Tim Allen and Santa Claus in like a year. I mean, I'll be Tim Allen and Santa Claus this year. Tim Allen, if Santa Claus dies, I'm in the front yard. If you guys caught that, that was a good one. Dude, if you become Santa Claus, you got to invite me to the North Pole. I got to go. Because if it's anything like the movie with The Rock. I can't.

I got to uplive. It's going to be just me and Bernard. And Kyle's going to have to raise the kids on our own. Out of 10. Out of 10. We got to rate it out of 10. I'm going to put. I'm going 9 out of 10. The bread was a little, but it's probably just because it was baked in the morning and we're eating them now. You can tell that thing freshly fried and hot. I'll take a dozen.

Funnel cake. It's basically just a funnel cake that's susceptible to eat at any time. Yep. Which I can get on board with New Orleans. I'll be at home, baby. Yeah. All right. Well, shout out to the beignets. Compared to sucking the backside of a crawfish head, beignet gets an 8 out of 10. Nice. No Dumb Questions time. No Dumb Questions is brought to you by Mint Mobile. The smart answer to saving money on premium wireless. No Dumb Question.

Did Travis use a DeLorean or a hot tub time machine to travel back in time?

and invent the Pony Express. Alexander Major is my ass. You can't convince me that this is not Travis in a top hat. I mean, if I'm looking at myself in the mirror, that's pretty damn good. Yeah, it's pretty solid. I will say that they couldn't be me because I would never be seen with that fucking hat on. Travis, you need to go. This needs to be your pregame Super Bowl fit. Top hat? I remember wearing a top hat. Not too long ago.

What did you wear top? I don't remember that one. When I was in London. Oh, I do remember that. So I got caught in my own lie. I enjoy wearing those. But only in front of 80,000 people. You pulled it off. Well, there's a lot more people than 80,000 people that saw that. But you pulled it off really well. Thanks.

It's always scary. Have you ever came across like a really like... Travis, we are the most generic white looking people on the planet. It is so many people. There were just 25 of them in downtown New Orleans. Yes.

And you could not pick me out of a fucking lineup. You're a where's Waldo, dude. I could take that salt and pepper beard out of fucking anybody. I look like... I could take one good look at those tits and know exactly who it is. I look like 12 former presidents, including Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, and like any other ones that are white with a beard.

I remember Jonas Valanciunas. Yeah, I remember you telling me this story. From Lithuania. Getting drafted in the NBA. And I was like, holy shit, I'm Lithuanian. I mean, we're not far off. It's close. I mean, dude, you can't tell me that I don't have Lithuania in my blood. Eastern Europe? I mean, it's definitely in Eastern Europe. But is it Northeastern or is it like Slavic area? It's Slavic for sure.

For some reason, I feel like it's up north. Is it by Serbia? No, it's not that. Yeah, see, that's higher north. That's way up there. That's a different area than where our ancestors are. Not gonna lie, I feel like our ancestors just fucked their way across Europe. It feels like we have a little bit of everything. Yeah, it's true. Which is why we look like everybody. True American mutt. Yeah. I guess I'll pass the time. Oh, we need a little bit of this over here. We have our Ashkenazi over here.

are irish over here are slavic down here are serbian here we actually don't have any clue what we are on dad's side because he's the only one that didn't get the 23 and me or whatever it's true it's true we got to get that out of him he just always says he's american i'm american didn't matter yeah we have ancestors in pennsylvania and west virginia i guess that's accurate pop

So, yeah, solid photo. What was the question there? There was no question. Is Travis a time traveler? That was the question. Are you a time traveler? I have some Marty McFly's, but that's about as close as I get to time traveling. If you could time travel, where would you go back to? Man, I'm trying to see some dinosaurs. Trying to figure out how the fuck they made those pyramids. Yeah. Yeah. If I could time travel, I'd go back to Super Bowl 57 and make sure that we won that fucking game.

So then I wouldn't be depressed about not having lost that game. Hmm. Yeah. I really don't feel that bad about my Super Bowl. I lost to Tom Brady. I mean. Yeah. We won against Tom Brady. I didn't do much, but it was fun. Yeah.

All right. Let's get to this next one from Tati. I need to know the history behind this picture. We don't know the fucking history. I played football for a living. My memory goes to like last week. We just know that I was strong as fuck as a baby. Look at that dude. I'm fucking doing curls with Travis Kelsey. That's a Pro Bowl center right there. And he's only two years younger than me.

That's a Pro Bowl center. So Travis is probably, he's not even a year old in that photo. That means I'm not even three yet. Look at that head of hair. I'm doing curls with my offhand. Peanut butter and jelly in my right. I don't know if you saw that. I'm fucking yoked. Dude, dude. It's an impressive. This might be the most impressive photo of my life. Captured in two and a half years. You got to get that outfit, dude. That is your kind of outfit. That's my outfit. Dig the socks.

Got a nice bulge going. I hate you for making me look at your bulge. I hate you, dude. I didn't want to do it, man. All right, let me get out of this fucking thing. Thank you for the picture. You guys want to do a voicemail? Let's just do one voicemail. All right, let's do one voicemail. You can just press it. Press it.

Hi, my question is, since we know that the winning Super Bowl team gets like a big party after, what happens to the losing team? Are you kidding me? Are you going to fucking laugh at that? The fuck is psychopaths? These are fucking dreams from your childhood that you built up and you lose them. What?

That was harsh. Yeah. To answer your question, the losing team, they both have parties. And the one I lost actually was COVID year. So we just jumped back on the plane and went the fuck home. And I thought about jumping off the plane, honestly. It's very weird. So they already have the parties set up in advance. So you still have the party. It's just the saddest party I've ever been to. Picture...

A birthday party combined with a funeral. And that's what a Super Bowl losing party feels like. The funeral always overrides it for sure. Yeah. No, it's like, well, there's like, because there's a bunch of like happiness that it's themed with, but everybody feels like somebody just died. Yeah. Kind of trying to justify what happened. And, oh yeah, like that was, it was a fun season. And you remember like we, if we would have done this, if we would have done that and coaches are leaving and.

You're saying goodbyes to teammates who aren't going to be there next year. Just going on a Jeremy Shockey. Shockey, man. I was on a Shockey for a good two years. The good thing about the Super Bowl is you're going to go on a Jeremy Shockey. It's just going to – you don't know which kind of Jeremy Shockey you're going on. Oh, you know. But if you win, you're going on a Jeremy Shockey. And if you lose, you're going on a Jeremy Shockey. Yeah.

Shout out to Jeremy Shockey. For being the best of both worlds, man. For being the tight end that Travis Kelsey looked up to. Oh, my God. I still do. I still do, Jeremy. I got to meet you with Shockey, man. Fuck. You've never met Shockey? Dude, he's literally the only one. I haven't caught him at any of the NFL events. What is he doing now? I'm pretty sure he's hanging out around Miami football. He went to the U, so I think he helps those guys out and just enjoys South Florida.
