[Jason Kelsey]

So shout out, Trav. Way to go.

[Travis Kelsey]

Let's do it. Let's do it.

[Jason Kelsey]

Nice.

[Travis Kelsey]

Jason on the call at the Pro Bowl. Last bit of new news. We got Jason in the booth over there in Orlando for the Pro bowl. Watching the flag football game, huh?

[Jason Kelsey]

That's right. Yep.

[Travis Kelsey]

How was it, man? How was it on the. The other side of the Pro Bowl?

[Jason Kelsey]

The Pro bowl is 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.

[Travis Kelsey]

Watching the Avengers.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, for sure.

[Travis Kelsey]

Superheroes of the NFL.

[Jason Kelsey]

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. Was pretty boring to watch.

[Travis Kelsey]

It was a tough thing to even be. Here's a part, to be honest.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

Tough to be a part of.

[Jason Kelsey]

Here's the problem. Football is only good if people are trying to kill each other. I figured that out.

[Travis Kelsey]

You're not lying.

[Jason Kelsey]

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's like, what the are these guys doing playing football for?

[Travis Kelsey]

And that's what it kind of felt like when you were playing.

[Jason Kelsey]

So I'm not. We're just kind of out here slapping hands.

[Travis Kelsey]

What are we?

[Jason Kelsey]

And then there'd be one guy.

[Travis Kelsey]

One guy. There'd be always be one guy.

[Jason Kelsey]

And everybody like, why is that guy trying to play football? And you're like, playing football. The wrong with this. We're just trying to have fun.

[Travis Kelsey]

We're all unioned up with this guy.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yes. Trying to win.

[Elijah Manning]

You can buy a Toyota. I want the mvp.

[Travis Kelsey]

I want the MVP to get the free car. Like, yeah, well, I won the mvp. You still have to pay for the car.

[Jason Kelsey]

So anyways, what they're doing now, the.

[Travis Kelsey]

Taxes on a Genesis aren't as low as you think they are.

[Jason Kelsey]

So.

[Travis Kelsey]

Shout out to Genesis.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. Shout out.

[Travis Kelsey]

Shout out to the Red Rocket man. Andy Dalton showing me a deep cross.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. Shout out to the 64.

[Travis Kelsey]

Touchdown.

[Jason Kelsey]

All right, so we got what they're doing now with flag football. People will try for flag. That's more like. They'll have fun with it. Let's go have fun.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. I'm not here to kill anybody.

[Jason Kelsey]

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 into foam pits.

[Travis Kelsey]

I feel like they should do dodgeball with footballs.

[Jason Kelsey]

Dodgeball with footballs. It's not a bad idea with nerf balls. Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

No. Like a full on. Like the Duke.

[Jason Kelsey]

You go with the Duke. That would hurt. Hit you in the face.

[Travis Kelsey]

Do you. How bad do you want to win?

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, it's a lot of guys that can't throw a football. Surprisingly, it would expose some guys.

[Travis Kelsey]

I can't throw anymore.

[Jason Kelsey]

There's some players in the NFL that.

[Travis Kelsey]

You see this thing all the way back there and just. Yeah, just come down.

[Jason Kelsey]

No, you can do it. You can still get one in it.

[Travis Kelsey]

That elbow is tight.

[Jason Kelsey]

Then it's gonna get tight.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, it's bad.

[Jason Kelsey]

But now the Pro bowl was awesome. Being up in the booth was great. I got a good bit of advice from Dan Orlofsky. Shout out to Dan. I was going to Nice.

[Travis Kelsey]

Danielle.

[Jason Kelsey]

I went to Orland. I went to Disney the following day with the fam.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nice.

[Jason Kelsey]

And Dan gave me the shout out, said, hey, go to the Dawa bar. Animal Kingdom to Jungle Juice.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oo.

[Jason Kelsey]

It was perfect.

[Travis Kelsey]

All Right.

[Jason Kelsey]

It tasted great. Perfect level for walking around with a bunch of kids. It's ideal. It really made the safari 10 times better.

[Elijah Manning]

[Travis Kelsey]

Did you. Did you know what was Rhino's a movement?

[Jason Kelsey]

I don't give a. This is great.

[Travis Kelsey]

I love it. Shout out to Dan for the secret to the secret to Animal Kingdom. Was it cold around the park? The last time that I went down to Orlando for the Pro bowl, it was absolutely freezing.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, it was like that last year too. It was cold, but this year was like 80.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nice.

[Jason Kelsey]

It was perfect. Sun was hidden behind clouds, which you wanted 80. You don't want sun out with 80. That's. Then you're a little dice down there. But no, it was good. It was good temperature. Found out Scott Van Pelt doesn't like roller coasters.

[Travis Kelsey]

What?

[Jason Kelsey]

Svp. I found a lot of times with taller people now you're pretty tall. You like roller coasters?

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, man. I was not in when we were kids, though. Took me to become a man.

[Jason Kelsey]

I feel like there's something to do.

[Travis Kelsey]

With the millennium, dude.

[Jason Kelsey]

The Millennium Forest Cream.

[Elijah Manning]

The millennium.

[Travis Kelsey]

I used to have nightmares about the millennium.

[Jason Kelsey]

I think that's.

[Travis Kelsey]

Maybe that's why you always loved going on it.

[Jason Kelsey]

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.

[Travis Kelsey]

I mean, it's hard to argue that one.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, well, you can't because I just.

[Travis Kelsey]

Said I finally went on it. It. I went on all the roller coasters and then finally was like, all right, I'm do Millennium Force. This is like when I'm like in high school or maybe even when I was in college. But yeah, I. When you get to the top of that thing, because it's right on the lake. It's on Lake Erie and Sandusky, Ohio.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's beautiful, picturesque.

[Travis Kelsey]

By the time I got on there, the sun was going down and it. The. 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 about blacked out. Yeah, it was terrifying.

[Jason Kelsey]

Bad feeling.

[Travis Kelsey]

And then I overcame my fear.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

And I didn't black out.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's why I keep trying to get my kids to just go and do stuff, because I feel like that's how I overcame. You just go do it. And they're like, oh, it wasn't that bad, dude.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's how hockey Was my kids will not do it.

[Jason Kelsey]

They won't do it.

[Travis Kelsey]

I didn't ice skate.

[Jason Kelsey]

I mean, they can't go on anything that extreme.

[Travis Kelsey]

Right. Dad literally just threw me out there and then pushed a cane at me. He, like, pushed, like, a walker at me. Like an old person's walker.

[Jason Kelsey]

That always works.

[Travis Kelsey]

I, like, used it to, like, get up, and then he was like, do a lap.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

I was like, all right. And then by the time I was.

[Jason Kelsey]

By the time you're done with the lap, feeling great. I don't need this over there.

[Travis Kelsey]

I was flying around. Couldn't stop, though. Couldn't stop.

[Elijah Manning]

Figure that out.

[Jason Kelsey]

My kids, though, they just act like I'm being, like, a bad dad by force them to do stuff they don't want to do. And that's part of being dead.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

I respect it.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, not. Kylie doesn't. She said I have to deal with this. Like, they'll be fine. Trust me. Trust Kylie and Kelsey did this to me.

[Travis Kelsey]

We from experience.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'm just gonna spin this little teapot around.

[Travis Kelsey]

Don't trust me.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, don't trust me either. It didn't work.

[Travis Kelsey]

Look at this guy.

[Jason Kelsey]

They don't.

[Travis Kelsey]

You're gonna. You're not gonna trust this guy. Look at him. I'm trusting this guy.

[Jason Kelsey]

Who doesn't trust somebody? Alrighty. 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 gonna eat some right now. First up, we got fried alligator and a hurricane.

[Travis Kelsey]

We've just been sitting nuggets.

[Jason Kelsey]

We do Travis.

[Travis Kelsey]

I'll get in on some gator nuggets.

[Jason Kelsey]

You'll eat alligator?

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Travis, you won't eat alligator. You won't eat rabbit.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nope. You won't eat too gamey. Duck gaming.

[Jason Kelsey]

How do you know? You just. If you had it. So you'll try meats. You just don't like white sauces.

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm not trying that white sauce. You know that's tartar sauce. Yeah, that's tartar sauce.

[Jason Kelsey]

How do you know that's tartar sauce?

[Travis Kelsey]

I could see it from here. It's pickle.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's got pickles in it. Yeah, it's tartar sauce. Yeah.

[Elijah Manning]

You're observant.

[Jason Kelsey]

All right, I'll try The.

[Elijah Manning]

[Travis Kelsey]

The half mayo. I'll try the half.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's all right. Let's go.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'll try the tartar. I'm. I'm not afraid to tart her up.

[Travis Kelsey]

These are pretty good. They're a little gamey.

[Jason Kelsey]

It always tastes so similar, like chicken.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's the fried that.

[Jason Kelsey]

They did have a smoked allegation.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yum yum. Sauce isn't as yum yum as I thought it was going to be.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'll try the tartar. It's real yum yum.

[Travis Kelsey]

Now you got.

[Jason Kelsey]

You got the.

[Travis Kelsey]

Give me some of that. That gator.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's damn good.

[Travis Kelsey]

Gator don't play that.

[Jason Kelsey]

I had some smoked alligator at a eagle's tailgate because it's very traditional cuisine of Philadelphia as well. And it tastes a lot like lobster.

[Elijah Manning]

They.

[Travis Kelsey]

They catch those fresh every day right out of Delaware. Nice. You're gonna clean that whole plate, aren't you?

[Jason Kelsey]

No, I'm done after this because we got more food to review. But I'm gonna get to this hurricane.

[Travis Kelsey]

You got. You got the hurricane. It can't be drinking like that. I know what those things do.

[Jason Kelsey]

Who made this?

[Travis Kelsey]

Technically, Haley made it.

[Jason Kelsey]

Haley. Can we get Haley in here?

[Travis Kelsey]

Where'd you get the recipe from, though?

[Elijah Manning]

I've had these.

[Travis Kelsey]

Ryan's mix, Pat O'Brien's mixed, Larry O'Brien's brother.

[Jason Kelsey]

I thought that was Ped O'Reilly.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, that, too. Chug, chug, chug. Oh, man, that would have been awesome if he would have just.

[Jason Kelsey]

I forgot to put the mix in.

[Travis Kelsey]

What is that, rum? It's just straight rum, I think red with some.

[Jason Kelsey]

Some red food coloring.

[Travis Kelsey]

Some grenadine in that thing. Get an accelerator. Get a cherry ice pop. That always goes well with them.

[Jason Kelsey]

Man, that's really good. I love hurricanes. I'm not gonna lie. Feels like the most significant part of that is cherry.

[Travis Kelsey]

There's a chair. There's cherry in that thing.

[Jason Kelsey]

I have no idea. Yeah, cherry.

[Travis Kelsey]

Pretty good. It's pretty good. What else is in there, big guy?

[Jason Kelsey]

Cherry. There's some orange in there.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yes, you can see it. Give me some outside that.

[Jason Kelsey]

I don't know. I don't know what else. Orange or. I'm getting a strong cherry and orange flavor. Cherry, orange, and an overwhelming amount of Captain Morgan.

[Elijah Manning]

Captain Morgan. Is that.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's not Captain Morgan. It's not spiced. It's unspiced rum.

[Travis Kelsey]

The old Brent Selleck. My guy Brent Selleck's out there for, like, and helping the eagles Defense. I saw you. Brent Bearcat for life, my ass. I saw that.

[Jason Kelsey]

Zachary was texting me about it.

[Travis Kelsey]

That guy's. He's telling him my moves. He's showing off.

[Jason Kelsey]

Do you think he knows your moves?

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. It was pretty spot on. I watched the video. I know exactly what you're know what you're telling them. Gonna have a few change ups and curveballs and sliders and knuckle curves. I got all types of pitches.

[Jason Kelsey]

So. Fried alligator, what are we thinking?

[Travis Kelsey]

How are we rating this one out of ten?

[Jason Kelsey]

Honestly? I'm giving that a six.

[Travis Kelsey]

Six.

[Jason Kelsey]

Nice.

[Elijah Manning]

All right.

[Jason Kelsey]

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.

[Travis Kelsey]

I have had hurricanes.

[Jason Kelsey]

In the grand scheme of drink drinks that you would walk up and down a street with, where does a hurricane rank?

[Travis Kelsey]

I like, I'm. I'm a like, Long island kind of guy.

[Jason Kelsey]

You're gonna walk up and down the street with a long island?

[Elijah Manning]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

No, you drink a Long island at like a clubhouse bar, like, at a. Like, that's not. You don't walk up another street with a long island like a sailor.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's just like. It's like a. Just like jungle juice. It's just like a bunch of that you.

[Jason Kelsey]

No, it's way different. Long Island's 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 walking. Walk around.

[Travis Kelsey]

There's a walk around and sip kind of drink.

[Jason Kelsey]

I don't think so.

[Travis Kelsey]

All right, well, then what are we? What's a. I mean, all I know are just bourbon. Bourbon street drinks.

[Jason Kelsey]

Bourbon street drinks. I mean, they are.

[Travis Kelsey]

I learned my.

[Jason Kelsey]

Less synonymous with walking around.

[Travis Kelsey]

I don't do walk around drinks anymore.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. Remember that time I got an open container in college? Did I ever tell that story on here?

[Travis Kelsey]

No, please.

[Jason Kelsey]

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 up. And the cop walks through the door and he. And everybody starts running because 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. I said, all right. He's like, do you live here? I said, no. He said, I suggest you get the 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. Oh, he gave me a ticket so fast. He's like, I'm, you know, if you know this, but you're not allowed to have an open container. And I think. And he left one of his deputies behind to, like, give me the ticket.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

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.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's what happens for sure. That's hilarious.

[Jason Kelsey]

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 and their. Oh, yeah, they're definitely expertise with New Orleans.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, Miss.

[Jason Kelsey]

Ole Miss.

[Travis Kelsey]

New Orleans.

[Jason Kelsey]

Where is Ole Miss?

[Travis Kelsey]

I think it's in Mississippi.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, I know it's in Mississippi. I didn't.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oxford.

[Jason Kelsey]

Thank you.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's in Oxford, Mississippi.

[Peyton Manning]

Jason.

[Jason Kelsey]

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.

[Elijah Manning]

Our good friend.

[Jason Kelsey]

We've only got one game this weekend. What game parlays are we gonna build this week?

[Travis Kelsey]

I am looking at Pat Mahomes, two plus passing touchdowns.

[Jason Kelsey]

I like that. I think with the game on the line, the Chiefs will go to Pat.

[Travis Kelsey]

I think they're gonna run some of that at the goal line again. We're gonna see some corn do seen before.

[Jason Kelsey]

They're going to leave the ball in Pat's hand. I like that.

[Travis Kelsey]

And then Jalen hurts anytime TD scorer. And that is rushing.

[Jason Kelsey]

I think that could be a tush push. It could be maybe some quarterback design runs. Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

And I know this is one you have. You have your specialist in this coin toss.

[Jason Kelsey]

Tails never fails.

[Travis Kelsey]

Those are our three picks. Pat Mahomes over two touchdowns. Jalen hurts anytime TD scorer. And tails.

[Jason Kelsey]

You got a Trav From Newman High school, New Orleans, Louisiana. A combined 18 Pro Bowls, 4 Super Bowls, 3 Super Bowl MVP' 2 Walter Payton, man of the years. And one of them is still undefeated in the Pro Bowl. Please welcome Peyton and Eli Manning. There we go.

[Peyton Manning]

I like that. Jason, we're just gonna bring you with us wherever we go. Give us.

[Jason Kelsey]

Dude, I will. I will gladly be your. Your guys. Permanent hype, man.

[Travis Kelsey]

I think down here he actually comes with a band. I think it's like a whole thing.

[Jason Kelsey]

I want to get one. Do you guys know a good band that can be it is Newman High.

[Travis Kelsey]

School got a good marching band or what?

[Peyton Manning]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Elijah Manning]

Solid. Really solid.

[Jason Kelsey]

Solid, solid.

[Elijah Manning]

I could think of A few others. It might be a little better. We can start with Newman.

[Travis Kelsey]

Let's start off with the.

[Elijah Manning]

The Pro Bowl.

[Travis Kelsey]

Man, you guys went head to head down at the Pro Bowl.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

And. Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Eli got the three peat.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. You got the three P, dog.

[Peyton Manning]

I think.

[Travis Kelsey]

How does it feel? How does it feel?

[Peyton Manning]

Just Payton's officially on the hot seat. I think as coach saw some breaking news headlines, kind of Adam Sheffield, social media. So, I mean, if he, if he does get fired, I will. I'll probably hire him as my special teams coach, quarterback coach or, you know, water boy or something. You know, just.

[Elijah Manning]

I mean, I mean, the problem is, you know, 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. Because they're in the super bowl, so.

[Travis Kelsey]

And I'd be a game changer in that game for you, Peyton. You know I would.

[Elijah Manning]

Travis, I kind of blame you and Patrick.

[Jason Kelsey]

How's that the chief's fault?

[Peyton Manning]

Chief fault. Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

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.

[Peyton Manning]

You know, there's the special teamers. You know, they kind of have rules around. We want the offensive guys playing offense, defensive guys playing defense. This. Special teamers, you know that we don't have any special teams. There's no, 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 Foot, I said, you know, Turpin's your, your special, your special blitz guy. He can, he's fast. He can run out a couple sacks. He's not to get tired like you don't have. 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 these guys. Professional rushers, they're not drop guys. Covers guys. But then Burrows running right by him. So Turpin got the. Got the. They got the call pretty quickly.

[Jason Kelsey]

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. I think we got a clip here.

[Travis Kelsey]

Is every. Does every like, Manning get a chance to throw the pill? Are they just like. It's just in them to be able to. To huck it or what?

[Elijah Manning]

Well, it's kind of like I kind of got Told Eli we were not raised to be kickers, we were raised to be quarterbacks. And so that's kind of commercial, by the way. It's kind of all we know. Can't, can't, can't outrun anybody, certainly can't kick. But yeah, look, that's kind of why I sort of, sort of coach 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, you go with Justin Jefferson. So what a cool moment for him.

[Travis Kelsey]

The kid in me is so jealous of Marshall, man. It's. 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.

[Elijah Manning]

Oh, 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 Eli, you know, his job as well. There's only other two. There's only one other set of brothers that I know of that has a 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, I think my job is definitely a jeopardy if the Kelsey's want to take over the Pro Bowl.

[Jason Kelsey]

Tell you what, I can put a mean run game in that flag football.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, it'd be lateral central if I ever got the got the chance to coach that.

[Jason Kelsey]

Speaking of brothers, we're tied right now with super bowl victories, Kelsey's and Mannings four piece. Does that mean the Mannings are officially pulling for the Eagles?

[Peyton Manning]

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.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh yeah.

[Peyton Manning]

You know, I think 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 Super Bowl. Rooting for. I knew he was on my side, Andy Reid and. But you know, it's a little more difficult Eagles. But with Saquon there, you kind of want, you 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 an unbelievable. But you know that feeling and you never get tired of it. So do you, Jason, you know that feeling when 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?

[Elijah Manning]

I mean, my question would be, Jason, would be if we're even, you know, really, with the amount of rings. You know, I know certain teams, certain owners, when they win, they give rings to alumni who are just integral and creating the culture of the team. I can't think of a guy more. More significant and kind of creating that tough run the ball, tough offensive lineman culture than you. So if the, 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. Let's just settle it right here, because if that's the case, Eli 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.

[Peyton Manning]

You don't get rings making the playoffs. You don't get rings.

[Jason Kelsey]

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 Shoe bowl ring in Nevada. Chili, I will take another one of those if they want to just print that one out again. I could take that one again.

[Elijah Manning]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

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?

[Elijah Manning]

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 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, if that should change the odds, but I have a new respect for kickers. I've been so sore every time I practice. 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 gonna make it.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, I like the confidence now.

[Peyton Manning]

There's about six weeks ago. Did pull a quad, and I've been.

[Travis Kelsey]

Practicing for six weeks.

[Peyton Manning]

Six weeks? Yeah. Yeah, I started six weeks ago. Day one.

[Travis Kelsey]

I mean, it's lots on the line. I get it.

[Jason Kelsey]

He's just getting healthy, though. He's been on the sideline for a little bit.

[Peyton Manning]

Yeah. No stretch, no stretch, no nothing. I was just like, I'll just kick 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 limp. I kicked. I kicked on Monday. This week it felt good. I didn't get to the full 25 yards, but I just, you know, kicked about a 20 yarder. And I think I'll be ready for Sunday.

[Jason Kelsey]

We'll get you that extra.

[Peyton Manning]

They said they could give me a tortoise shot now that I'm not a player.

[Elijah Manning]

I'm taking both guys.

[Travis Kelsey]

This guy's committed.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Peyton Manning]

Full throttle. I'm going game day mode. Full warm up, you know, super tee shot. Get everything.

[Travis Kelsey]

I cannot. 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. College game day in front of Pat McAfee. Man, it was classic.

[Jason Kelsey]

I was on. I was on a slant. I was on a slot, like a slight angle in boots.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, well, you chose to wear the boots, so.

[Jason Kelsey]

No, that was part of the sponsorship. I had shot Timberland.

[Travis Kelsey]

Great job, Timberland.

[Jason Kelsey]

We are down in the Super Bowl. We're in New Orleans, your hometown.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

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, what would have the potential to play in the super bowl one day?

[Elijah Manning]

Jason, Both those guys actually came to the camp as college players, as counselors. It's a high school football camp that. That we have college players come and serve as counselors, and in return, 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 you want to throw tonight. You know, there's people out there watching.

[Travis Kelsey]

And, oh, man, I'll throw. I'll rip it right now.

[Jason Kelsey]

Jesus.

[Elijah Manning]

He doesn't flinch. He doesn't care.

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm swinging at anything.

[Elijah Manning]

Hey, that's exactly what he said. And to me, that's just pretty telling. As you know, Travis, you know, when you're in college and people are around watching, hat I don't want to throw today. Maybe, you know, maybe there's some coach up there, some GM that happens to have a kid at the camp. Maybe they're watching and maybe this hurts. My 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'd be a great quarterback matchup on Super Bowl Sunday.

[Jason Kelsey]

Have you talked to either of these guys before the big game yet?

[Elijah Manning]

I texted both of them after the NFC and AFC championship congratulating them, wishing them luck. 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 I sort of gave him my tips and pointers. He kind of knows that routine now. Mahomes, you know, gets his mail sent to the super bowl every year because he knows he's going to be there. So Travis does as well. So, yeah, they don't have to ask me too many questions anymore about the super bowl routine.

[Travis Kelsey]

Well, you. You always got the best advice, big guy. I remember 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.

[Peyton Manning]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

Wide receiver from Atlanta, right?

[Peyton Manning]

Yeah, Hodge. Hodge. Hodge.

[Travis Kelsey]

There it is.

[Peyton Manning]

He came up and said he was a camper. He came his junior year. He was a quarterback, and he came to the camp, and that's crazy. Obviously, we told him, I think you should try receiver. We saw right there, it's like seven on seven. He was playing receivers some, made some plays, and now he's, you know, he's making. Making the Pro Bowls a special team guy. But, you know. You know, he's a receiver also in the NFL. And. And so just a great story. So we've had a couple guys. A couple guys, a couple quarterbacks in the NFL. Also, I think Russell Wilson was a camper. He, you know, he was not as a counselor. Became as a camper in high school.

[Elijah Manning]

The new coach of the Jaguars, Liam Cohen, was a camper.

[Jason Kelsey]

Liam.

[Travis Kelsey]

How about that? Nice.

[Elijah Manning]

So that's how. That's how old we are. We got coaches. We got coaches that were campers now.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah. 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.

[Jason Kelsey]

You would have sped his career up quite a bit, getting him away from the quarterback position.

[Travis Kelsey]

Exactly. No, that's awesome stuff you guys do with the. The young guys, man. And always, always paving the way for the future, man. That's always good stuff.

[Jason Kelsey]

Thanks. Eli, you were talking about your former teammate, Saquon Barkley, and when we had Saquon on the show, he took. We. 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.

[Peyton Manning]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Can we. Is this a confirmed story?

[Peyton Manning]

Yeah, this is a confirmed story every. Every year before the. 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 really are 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 gotta get my. My mouth. My teeth been bothering me. I gotta 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 or you still have holes in your mouth. And so when they kind of open up and. 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 got a few coaches so good on the best. O'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. Like, we're not talking to him. You know, we're like. And he opened up and O'Hara put the public grass in his mouth. We weren't trying to get you. You offered up this information. I just couldn't resist.

[Jason Kelsey]

You volunteered yourself?

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Since we're on the Shoot bowl, do you guys, either of you, have a welcome to the super bowl moment?

[Elijah Manning]

I mean, I think it was my ninth year playing in it for the first year. And just, you know, down in Miami, it was raining. That year is the only. Only super bowl that it really had rained. But I think, you know, Billy Joel saying the national anthem. I think there's something about being on the sideline when that national anthem plays. You know, watching it all those years as a kid. You know, Travis, my first Super Bowls as a kid were in New Orleans, obviously. I saw the. Who's that? I saw Montana beat the Broncos in the 89. 8990 season, whatever that was. That was in New Orleans, actually was in college. Came back and saw the packers beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl. So there obviously been some great ones there in New Orleans. There'd be another great one with. With your Chiefs and the Eagles. But that national anthem is a. I. I still get emotional watching it as a fan, you know, as a. 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. 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.

[Travis Kelsey]

You're firing me up.

[Elijah Manning]

Just thinking.

[Travis Kelsey]

Just talking about it, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

100%.

[Peyton Manning]

You had the worst start to a Super bowl with Hester just running back the open and kicking.

[Elijah Manning]

Yeah, yeah. Emotional moment. It was an emotional moment that they kind of ended pretty quickly with Hester.

[Travis Kelsey]

All right, we got a lock in, Bo. We gotta lock in. That's too good, Eli. You got one for us, you know?

[Peyton Manning]

Yeah. I mean, I think it's. It's just. For me, it was just trying to, like, 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 NFC Championship. All of a sudden, it's like a Super Bowl. Just all the. All the, you know, the lights and the national anthem and everything going on. And I just remember, you know, the 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 Tim play, long drive, got a field goal, and then, you know, it was kind of back to normal. But it's definitely a different. 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%.

[Travis Kelsey]

I still don't remember the first half of the one that I was in. I don't. I have no idea. I just. I remember, like, we started the game down 10. In my mind, I'm just like, how did this happen? Where did this. Well, I needed more now than ever.

[Jason Kelsey]

Travis, you've been running the wrong plays for the first entire half.

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm locked in, Coach. I got it.

[Jason Kelsey]

I got it. I got to ask you guys, as a center. Peyton, you brought up Sean O'Harris. I'm gonna come back to you, Eli, because I do know Sean O'Hare very well. I also know Jeff Saturday very well. There is a moment on the sideline between you and Jeff.

[Travis Kelsey]

Legendary.

[Jason Kelsey]

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. Just two. 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.

[Elijah Manning]

I mean, I mean, look, when you're miked up to me, the sooner you can forget about it, the better. Right? I always for sure kind of knew I was mic'd up in pregame warm ups because they, you know, you put your pads on, you can see the tape over the mic. You're just kind of thinking about it and hopefully once the game goes. But we had run the ball all the way down there. Jason had a good, 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, to get down there. And now. And now we're going to throw.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Elijah Manning]

And so we sit on our separate sides of the bench, but I can hear them talking. I can hear, why are we throwing it? Just run the rock. Run the rock. 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 ready to support their center and come right behind me. I'm like, 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. 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. There could be a leak or.

[Travis Kelsey]

No, it's ritual at this point.

[Elijah Manning]

You got 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 Fumble 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.

[Travis Kelsey]

They love it when you're a dome team, baby. That's good shit right there.

[Jason Kelsey]

Eli, do you have any of those stories with Sean?

[Peyton Manning]

Yeah, we.

[Jason Kelsey]

Any of your centers?

[Peyton Manning]

Well, I had wet, wet ball drill with Sean every single day.

[Travis Kelsey]

It wasn't rain. It was just swamp ass, huh?

[Peyton Manning]

Yeah. I mean, you know, this is what this is before you're in shotgun. Every playoff, we're under center, eye formation, and we're under center on first and second down. Every series, even third down, sometimes we were under center like, and. And dropping back and throwing the ball. So, I mean, it was. I was getting the wet ball. I made him change his pants at halftime, which is a couple times. Yeah, that's not easy.

[Elijah Manning]

That's.

[Peyton Manning]

I mean, they just have to cut the pants off because you got your shoes or spaghetti, you're taped up. Yeah, everything up. I mean, he's on his back this 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 seats. So he's happy about that. He was. 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.

[Jason Kelsey]

Just standard wet ball drill.

[Travis Kelsey]

So good. All right, let's. 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. Like, 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 in cover two. And he just went up there and just got smoked for the team. He just. No gloves on, just going up, Just. Just running through a wall for a.

[Peyton Manning]

Guy is a little bit different than Dallas Shockey. When you have a bender, that word means something different.

[Travis Kelsey]

I was. I had to ask, though, what. What do you think it is about tight end and quarterback, like, relationship that. That. That really gets the best out of the offense?

[Elijah Manning]

I mean, to me, look, they're closer to the quarterback than. Than the Z or the X or the slot. They're right there. Just, you know, 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. So 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. And 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, you know, Patrick and Travis have created is a whole different level, but it's just a real comfort zone. And yeah, 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 so much fun guys, how Dallas still comes back and works it so special. 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 you and Patrick have had that forever.

[Peyton Manning]

I think the other thing with the tight ends and quarterback, it's harder for a team to double a tight end and you know, you might have a receiver on the outside, hey, we got to take away this receiver. We're going to play two man or we're going to 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, you're going to have 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 a completion. So I think you just have a lot of your, 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, your staples and your comfort plays. It starts with the tight end being that first read.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nice. And we can all confirm that you got to get that bond off the field and have some beers. How many times you go on a bender with Shocky?

[Peyton Manning]

You know, no benders with shocking. But definitely, you know, we hit the town in New York, New York City a few times those first couple years. I haven't, I definitely haven't been to since, let's say that so?

[Travis Kelsey]

I love it, man. Shout out to Shocky, baby.

[Jason Kelsey]

I gotta 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 freelanced like that? Would you have been in favor of that?

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm not running the wrong route. I'm running with the quarterback. Once wants me to run, it might not be what's on paper.

[Elijah Manning]

Yeah, he might not even know he.

[Jason Kelsey]

Wants you to run.

[Travis Kelsey]

Exactly.

[Elijah Manning]

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, 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. You know, created the perfect location for Travis to be open. Meanwhile, Travis should have co offensive coordinator as part of his title.

[Jason Kelsey]

Can you believe they called a hook and ladder play right there?

[Elijah Manning]

I can't believe exactly.

[Travis Kelsey]

Eli, we talked about it.

[Peyton Manning]

You level right there.

[Travis Kelsey]

You already told me that you chewed me out. If I, if I turned inside on. On stick, on a wide stick, I would not have. Yeah, no, you wouldn't have thrown it.

[Elijah Manning]

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 kind of somehow leave you open. I don't, I don't really know why or how they do that, but I mean, you beat the double teams and like I said, they're doubling you. That means somebody else has got to be single. That's a good thing.

[Travis Kelsey]

Well, 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 off. If you guys don't want to answer these, but it's always fun, man. We close all our combos with this segment, and I'll get to the first one who got into the most trouble growing up. And you guys can even. Even throw Cooper into this.

[Peyton Manning]

Yeah, definitely Cooper.

[Jason Kelsey]

Very strange. The one brother that's not able to.

[Elijah Manning]

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.

[Jason Kelsey]

There's something about them older brothers not knowing how to not get caught.

[Travis Kelsey]

You gotta flank. You gotta learn the art of flank.

[Jason Kelsey]

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 Cavs game because everybody loved him so much.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's because I was such a good artist, Jason. 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.

[Elijah Manning]

Absolutely not. No. I don't know where he got that costume. Zero band experience. I can promise.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's good.

[Peyton Manning]

He likes the harmonica, though. If you. If give him the opportunity, Monica, he.

[Travis Kelsey]

I would love to hear that. Lost talent right there.

[Jason Kelsey]

Can he bend the notes? Can he, like, do, like, blues harmonica? Is he straight?

[Travis Kelsey]

Okay, you got our band geek all fired up over here.

[Peyton Manning]

I say he's. He's new to it. It's all new.

[Jason Kelsey]

He's like a Bob Dylan, just kind of. Yeah, okay. All right. What's.

[Elijah Manning]

All right?

[Jason Kelsey]

Your pops, Archie, was also a quarterback in the NFL for 13 years. What advice did he give both of you guys?

[Peyton Manning]

Slide.

[Travis Kelsey]

Slide, Slide, slide.

[Peyton Manning]

He also told us, we're not very fast, so don't run and.

[Elijah Manning]

Build it.

[Peyton Manning]

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 learned that the hard way. You know, it only takes one hit in the NFL. And you're like, yep, I should have listened to dad. He's definitely right.

[Elijah Manning]

Yeah, definitely. Slide. Have fun. You always kind of the last thing he used to Texas or if we talk to him the night before the game was, 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, they don't get nearly enough credit or attention on a television broadcast, but are 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.

[Jason Kelsey]

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 just letting you know, like, there was a bar was very low for.

[Travis Kelsey]

Don't you dare do that. Football.

[Jason Kelsey]

For football, dad. Bar is set high, Fred.

[Travis Kelsey]

Extremely high.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Elijah Manning]

You know, and my dad didn't sort of 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 encourages 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 that was a good approach that he took, and it made it fun growing up and never felt like pressure.

[Peyton Manning]

Yeah, there's. There's 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 said, 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, Louise, you feel like, you know, didn't have to do the best at everything that I enter into and follow your footsteps. So. But he was. He was a great big brother. As I got older, I mean, 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 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. Get a head start on these things. So he did look out, you know, look out for me all the time. And, and, and probably put more pressure on me to, to, to do some of these drills than my dad did.

[Travis Kelsey]

Well, you, you guys got the formula. You guys got it figured out. Arch Manning is having an unbelievable start to, 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. And 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. Oh, wow.

[Peyton Manning]

I guess mine sounds worse. It's over career. His is just. I would agree.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, I would agree. I would agree.

[Jason Kelsey]

Because of Sean sweaty ass. We already figured this out.

[Travis Kelsey]

God damn it, Sean.

[Elijah Manning]

Although my interception record, you know, the 17 games, I thought for sure this would get broken and I mean nobody, nobody's coming close to it. I'm disappointed.

[Peyton Manning]

And they're throwing more now than you were throwing more and yet less interceptions.

[Elijah Manning]

Stuff is not right.

[Peyton Manning]

They gotta get you in the first three games. If they can get to 10 in.

[Elijah Manning]

First three games, you gotta get off to a good start.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, that's insane.

[Jason Kelsey]

You guys have a new documentary coming out, Razor's Edge on Vice, Omaha's forthcoming follow doc on Coach Calipari.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Jason Kelsey]

Arkansas's man's basketball team. What can you guys tell us about the doc?

[Elijah Manning]

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, you know, his first season. It's a changing landscape with Nil. You know, Coach Cal was kind of known for just sort of coaching. Coaching freshman. Right. Kind of the one and done. And you know, now, you know, he's kind of changed his approach where he wants, you know, kind of older players. He doesn't have that many players. 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 here. Winning a national championship. Got kind of, 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.

[Jason Kelsey]

Hell yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's awesome, man. I'm so intrigued in that. I'm definitely gonna be dialed in.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

If you were both playing college football today, who has the higher NIL deals?

[Peyton Manning]

I mean, you gotta go with Peyton again. I mean, the guys, you know, he's a great spokesman. He's just.

[Travis Kelsey]

He could sell a product or what.

[Elijah Manning]

Yeah, I would have, hey, I wouldn't have accepted any of it. I would have given it all to my centers and my tight ends.

[Travis Kelsey]

There we go. There we go.

[Peyton Manning]

You can just slide a camera like that.

[Jason Kelsey]

Oh my gosh.

[Travis Kelsey]

So good.

[Jason Kelsey]

How has the NIL stuff changed the landscape because you guys both have kids. Coming up, the documentary with Cal Party, I'm sure touches on the nil. What are your guys thoughts on nal? Just in general?

[Elijah Manning]

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, I mean, to me that's the, 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.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's. I think it has a lot to do with the culture in Casey. 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, 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?

[Elijah Manning]

Yeah, I mean, to me, that's the thing that, you know, that I want to keep, is keep guys coming in hungry and trying to accomplish new goals and, you know, obviously help teams win. So as long as we got that going, you know, I'm okay.

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm with you.

[Jason Kelsey]

Love it.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nice. Well, last question. Hypothetically, if there had been an Official Manning Bowl. Who would have won.

[Jason Kelsey]

Wow.

[Peyton Manning]

I'll answer. He don't want to say it. He's too nice. I mean, he. Is he. In the. In the NFL games. I have not beaten him in a real game now. You know, flag football, Pro Bowl, I got that master. But he. I'm over three anytime we faced him in a real game. And so. But, you know, I. That's just the way. Just the way it went those years. It would have been. I guess it would have been. I don't know if it would have been fun to play you in a Super bowl or not. I mean, obviously y'all did it. It's got to be all right now.

[Jason Kelsey]

It was not fun at all. It was terrible.

[Travis Kelsey]

One thing, I had a pretty good time.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, you enjoyed yourself, I'm sure.

[Elijah Manning]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

No hypothetical on this end, guys.

[Elijah Manning]

Hypothetical.

[Jason Kelsey]

Hip hop, hip, hop, hip hop.

[Elijah Manning]

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. 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 YouTube, tough on your family. 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, you know, 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.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, well, I mean, I had lost. I had lost one. I hear what you're saying. Paid. I had lost a Super bowl going into the game that we lost. 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.

[Peyton Manning]

Bad going out that night and celebrating like, there's knowing that your brother is crying in his hotel room, and you're just. You were just fine just going out there and just.

[Travis Kelsey]

Well, you know, once you have a few beers, you forget about everything.

[Jason Kelsey]

And 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 defensive coordinators in the history of the NFL at this point it feels like what would you do? What would your game plan be? Going in up against that blitz packaging and like everything that he can throw at you?

[Travis Kelsey]

Like what would you give it away? Don't give it away.

[Peyton Manning]

Yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't want it. Not that I give away. Spags bags 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, you know, a strong side blitz and Brady made a call right, 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 kind of causing some issues saying hey, I can't be right with my protections. He's all, they're flip flopping it sometimes. And so you just see it, you know, unbelievable. In 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 0. It's going to be some exotic blitz, some blitz he hasn't done all game long, all game long has not shown this blitz. When do you bring it? 4th and 5 on the last drive and the most critical moment of the game. And so that's what makes them 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 gonna, you know, draw up for these critical moments. And, and just, and then when you think he is on a blitz, he fakes the blitz and going back to coverage.

[Travis Kelsey]

So just when you think he got.

[Peyton Manning]

Him, he's just a mastermind, he's a great leader, he's a great human being. This is one of the great, you know, you know, people and so happy for him, all his success and you know, I think Travis, you know how lucky you are to have him on that defensive side just, you know, being, being the leader over there.

[Travis Kelsey]

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. Meg. One good brother to another.

[Jason Kelsey]

Try. It's chicken and sausage in soup form with rice. All right, I'm not gonna lie. I don't even know how to attack this. I've never had a crawfish outside of, like.

[Travis Kelsey]

What do you mean? I'll crack that open.

[Jason Kelsey]

But am I eating the belly?

[Travis Kelsey]

I got Greg locals helping tail.

[Jason Kelsey]

Pop the tail off.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's the.

[Jason Kelsey]

You mean other way? That's his tail right there.

[Travis Kelsey]

There it is. Thank you.

[Jason Kelsey]

Of the tail or the body?

[Travis Kelsey]

Tail.

[Jason Kelsey]

So I'm only eating the tail. Optional to suck the head. I'm suck that motherfucker's head if it's optional. How do I get this in?

[Travis Kelsey]

I know.

[Jason Kelsey]

I have no idea. I'm not even getting any meat out of this thing.

[Travis Kelsey]

Just. You've never ate a shrimp before.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'll tell you what. It's a bad idea to eat crawfish on your goddamn lap. And a white T shirt is a awful desire.

[Travis Kelsey]

Dude, you look great.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'm struggling.

[Travis Kelsey]

You gotta put your superhero mask on. That's.

[Jason Kelsey]

Why am I doing this right? Is somebody telling me how to do 100?

[Travis Kelsey]

You are. You're getting it. There you go. See? You did it.

[Jason Kelsey]

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.

[Travis Kelsey]

There you go. Other way.

[Jason Kelsey]

This way. I was gonna suck cold. 45.

[Travis Kelsey]

Two zigzags, baby. That's all we need.

[Jason Kelsey]

We can go to the box at the dog. Smoke that crawfish head.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nice. Shout out to Afro Man.

[Jason Kelsey]

So you only eat the tails of this thing? The. That just seems like such a waste. Look at how small its tail is.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

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.

[Travis Kelsey]

Maybe that's all we need. Go to the farm. It's all in your beard. This is great.

[Jason Kelsey]

I mean on flavors alone, 10 out of 10.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nice.

[Jason Kelsey]

It is 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.

[Travis Kelsey]

59.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's a lot of Super Bowls.

[Jason Kelsey]

If I'm reading my Roman numerals correct.

[Travis Kelsey]

It is correct continually.

[Jason Kelsey]

Gets more confusing when they start editing. Ls the Ls always get. You know what the point are we just gonna have to abandon over numerous because nobody's gonna have a clue what the room renewable means.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's like cursive.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

They don't even teach the kids anymore.

[Jason Kelsey]

What is. What's So X is 110 10. Yep, that's right. I is 1. V is 5, X is 10, L is 57. What's the most complicated Roman numeral number you can like, long we can come up with was. It would be like. So it couldn't be like, subtract like 500 is just 5 C's or is 500.

[Travis Kelsey]

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 3999.

[Jason Kelsey]

Okay.

[Travis Kelsey]

Which is written. Mmmcm x c I X.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, there you have it. We're gonna have to abandon Roman numerals at Super Bowl 3999 because good luck selling that merchandise. All right. With this being your fifth super bowl, has anything changed with how you approach this game? Are you going to abandon all the other things that have allowed you to win?

[Travis Kelsey]

No, I'm going to stay true to those, particularly the second half of those games. Try and start this one nice and fast.

[Jason Kelsey]

I got to say this because I get. Okay, so everybody brings up the halftime being longer whenever somebody goes. So for those of you that don't know, the halftime is longer and typically.

[Travis Kelsey]

It'S like 15 minutes.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's not that much longer.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's 10 minutes more.

[Jason Kelsey]

I don't know if I am just like, so anti organized. Have me do anything on game day.

[Travis Kelsey]

You're preaching to the choir.

[Jason Kelsey]

I cannot stand, like, when they're like, okay, we need to stretch at this and do this like it's 10 more minutes. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting a cold down. I'm eat an uncrustable and get my mind right for the second half. I don't need you to tell me to stretch my quads.

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm gonna make sure everybody knows that is the key at halftime, is the uncrustable. Get you an uncrustable, a complete sun, and go ahead and enjoy yourself.

[Jason Kelsey]

I think a lot of the times it gets over. Well, I guess I'm 1 and 1. You are clearly a better record. Do you feel like people overthink that portion of the Super Bowl?

[Travis Kelsey]

You know what selfishly thinking, 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's going, going on, and it gave me something to do that 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.

[Jason Kelsey]

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 in a regular halftime. Because 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.

[Travis Kelsey]

Somebody might need that quad stretch.

[Jason Kelsey]

You're right.

[Travis Kelsey]

If Jason Kelsey doesn't need it, Jason Kelsey ain't gonna do it.

[Jason Kelsey]

I just feel like, just drink yourself.

[Travis Kelsey]

A water and sodium, get you some pickle juice.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. Get you, eat you in a crustable.

[Travis Kelsey]

Maybe snag an orange, jog back out to the field.

[Jason Kelsey]

Guess what? You'll be warm again. I'm also just anti stretching in general, so I'm not the person to ask.

[Travis Kelsey]

Two world wars. Two world wars.

[Jason Kelsey]

I played in world record consecutive games for the Eagles. Maybe I'm onto something. Stretching is overrated.

[Travis Kelsey]

Push up sit ups.

[Jason Kelsey]

Granted myself, the only two times I pulled a muscle and I'm not making. Making this up is when I was doing yoga. Like 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. I'm like, this stretching is for the birds, dog. It ain't for me.

[Travis Kelsey]

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.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

So I feel like getting everyone comfortable is my biggest thing.

[Jason Kelsey]

And this is because I'm gonna go.

[Travis Kelsey]

Out there and I'm gonna be, you know, I'm gonna 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.

[Jason Kelsey]

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.

[Travis Kelsey]

We're just making sure everybody feels comfortable and not letting the moment get too big. Yeah, yeah. That's going to be my biggest, like, concern, is just making sure everybody feels comfortable and playing our style of football, man, I'm. I think we're playing the best team that we've played yet, and that's. It makes sense. Going into the Super Bowl, I think offensively, defensively, special teams wise, both teams match up really good. And at the same time, you know, I got all the confidence in the formula that we've had under Coach Reed and. And just how we do things in KC And I. I just, you know, 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.

[Jason Kelsey]

That's the biggest thing. The emotions of the game can cause people to do uncharacteristics things that they normally wouldn't.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

So how do we avoid it?

[Travis Kelsey]

Can either make it timid or make you way too ballsy.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. Or it can make you just right. If you weather it right. If you weather it right, it can be perfect.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's like, oh, it's just the biggest game. I got to be great. I got to go do something crazy.

[Jason Kelsey]

You can weigh over things. It. Which. I've done both.

[Travis Kelsey]

I've done all of these.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

I've done absolutely all these.

[Jason Kelsey]

A lot of fans are asking if Pat is okay after the Mavericks traded his favorite player, Luca Doncic.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

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 is like, wait, what?

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, I knew exactly what it was because.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, you were probably with him.

[Travis Kelsey]

Well, yeah, I'm in a few different group chats with him. And everybody was like, pat, what the. Is going on in Dallas? Obviously, Dallas kid and grew up a huge Dallas sports fan. And it's been a countless games. We're actually at a game, and I got to say, what's up to Luke? We talked about it on the show.

[Jason Kelsey]

And did Pat say what's wrong with the. What happened?

[Travis Kelsey]

I don't. I'm pretty sure nobody knows exactly what happened other than the gm. Even Mark Cubing came out and said, I was listening to my guy, Jan Parsons talk about it. He said, yeah, I don't have any idea what's going on. Yeah, it's still up in the air on if it was the good move, the right move to make.

[Jason Kelsey]

Did you see. What was the.

[Travis Kelsey]

What do you think?

[Elijah Manning]

What do you think the equivalent.

[Travis Kelsey]

Well, you don't even watch the NBA, so I gotta.

[Jason Kelsey]

I watched some of it.

[Elijah Manning]

Oh, all right.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

Who's in the. Who's in the number one seed for the East.

[Jason Kelsey]

I've just told you I've not watched any this year. I know it's not the Sixers.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, you're right.

[Jason Kelsey]

They are struggling.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's the team that honored you and gave you a jersey that you sacked court. Sign at Jason.

[Jason Kelsey]

Nice. They're balling like that. I knew they had a good start to the year. I've not followed.

[Travis Kelsey]

Damn it. Go Calves, baby.

[Elijah Manning]

It's our year. Let's go.

[Travis Kelsey]

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, let's 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 nasty 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. I want. I relish in these moments, man. I've been waiting all year to fast forward to this game, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

And what's the most electric national anthem.

[Travis Kelsey]

You already know is Chris Stableton. There's just no one even close. I On. On a sad day, I will put that video on. I'll go to YouTube just to watch.

[Jason Kelsey]

Just Nick Siriani cry. And then Revel in the fact that you beat us.

[Travis Kelsey]

H. I never looked at. Chris Jones. Cried, too.

[Jason Kelsey]

To be fair, Chris Jones.

[Travis Kelsey]

I. I cried, but I kept my composure.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, that's.

[Travis Kelsey]

But more so Chris did his thing, and it one of my favorite performances ever.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, it was very electric.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nice. Well, let's get to our last food review.

[Jason Kelsey]

Make folks feel what you feel inside. All right, Brandon, bring the king cake and the beignet in. Oh, yeah. Trav, are you allowed to eat? Eat this?

[Travis Kelsey]

No, but I am. What?

[Jason Kelsey]

Wait, are you allowed to eat, or are you not allowed to eat it?

[Travis Kelsey]

No, I'm not allowed to eat this, Jason, but for the sake of the show, I will eat.

[Jason Kelsey]

You're willing to do something like that? Dude, what if Andy came in, right, because you about to take a bite and took it out.

[Travis Kelsey]

I offer him one and see what happens.

[Jason Kelsey]

All right, which one are we going at first? King cake or.

[Travis Kelsey]

Let's go. Let's go. Cake is gonna be messy. It's the closest one.

[Jason Kelsey]

All right. Oh, I love the texture that. Cheers. So what is a king cake?

[Elijah Manning]

Cinnamon roll.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. Glazed cinnamon roll.

[Travis Kelsey]

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.

[Jason Kelsey]

Sprinkles.

[Travis Kelsey]

You think this. It's minty sprinkles.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'm not gonna lie. I'm getting zero mint.

[Travis Kelsey]

It tastes like something from Philly, to be honest. Like something. I would get a wawas.

[Jason Kelsey]

It tastes like a cinnamon roll with frosting and sprinkles on it.

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm giving it a good seven.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. I mean, it's very good. I would eat this.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's almost like a honey bun.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's. I was going. Tasty cake. It's kind of like a tasty cake frosting. Yeah, it's a good loaf of bread for sure.

[Jason Kelsey]

Well, good bake. Good bake.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, good bake.

[Jason Kelsey]

Good rides on it.

[Travis Kelsey]

Where are you going? I went 7 out of 10. It's no tasty cake.

[Jason Kelsey]

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?

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, we're rating. There you go.

[Jason Kelsey]

Let's go.

[Travis Kelsey]

How you spell beignet?

[Jason Kelsey]

B, E, I, G, N, E, T.

[Travis Kelsey]

You just read it.

[Jason Kelsey]

Cheater. All right. Probably there's enough sugar.

[Travis Kelsey]

This is. This is my crypto knife. I will eat all of those.

[Jason Kelsey]

So what is. Are you supposed to do anything with the beignet other Than like, I've never. First of all, these beignets are huge. I've never seen beignets this big.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's my kind of.

[Elijah Manning]

Right here.

[Jason Kelsey]

Are you. Are you supposed to, like, dip them in something or just eat it? Do you typically have these with coffee in the morning? Like a donut? Are these good beignets?

[Travis Kelsey]

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.

[Jason Kelsey]

I can get on with this.

[Travis Kelsey]

One more week, Travis.

[Jason Kelsey]

I love funnel cakes.

[Travis Kelsey]

One more week. Get me out of there. Get me out before it's too late.

[Jason Kelsey]

Beignets are really hard for somebody with facial hair. I don't know if you can tell.

[Travis Kelsey]

I feel like I'm wearing it.

[Jason Kelsey]

You're good.

[Travis Kelsey]

You already have white in your beard, though. So you. It just blends.

[Jason Kelsey]

Just blends in. I can't wait till my beard is fully white, Dude.

[Travis Kelsey]

It's almost there.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's getting there.

[Travis Kelsey]

You're gonna be Tim Allen and Santa Claus in like a year.

[Jason Kelsey]

I mean, I'll be Tim Allen and Santa Claus this year. Tim Allen. If Santa Claus dies in the front yard.

[Travis Kelsey]

If you guys caught that, that was a good one, dude. If you become Santa Claus, you gotta invite me to North Pole. I got to go. Because. Because if it's anything like the movie with the Rock, I got to uplift.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's going to be just me and. Me and Bernard and Kylie's going to have to raise the kids on our own.

[Travis Kelsey]

Out of 10. Out of 10. We got to rate it out of 10.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'm going to put.

[Travis Kelsey]

I'm going nine out of 10. The bread was a little. But it's probably just cuz it was baked in the morning and we're eating them now.

[Jason Kelsey]

You can tell that thing freshly fried and hot funnel cake. It's basically just a funnel cake that's susceptible to eat at any time.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yep.

[Jason Kelsey]

Which I can get on board with. New Orleans, baby. Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

All right, well, shout out to the beignets.

[Jason Kelsey]

Compared to sucking the backside of a crawfish head, beignet gets A. Gets 8 out of 10.

[Travis Kelsey]

Nice.

[Jason Kelsey]

No dumb Question Time. No Dumb Questions is brought to you by Mint Mobile. The smart answer to saving money on premium wireless. No. No 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.

[Travis Kelsey]

I mean, if I'm looking at myself in the mirror. That's pretty damn good.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, it's pretty. It's pretty solid.

[Travis Kelsey]

I will say that they couldn't be me because I would never be seen with that hat on.

[Jason Kelsey]

Travis, you need to go. This needs to be your pregame super bowl fit. Top hat.

[Travis Kelsey]

I remember wearing a top hat not too long ago.

[Jason Kelsey]

Would you wear a top hat? You don't remember that one?

[Travis Kelsey]

When I was in London.

[Jason Kelsey]

Oh, I do remember that.

[Travis Kelsey]

So I got caught in my own lie. I. I enjoy wearing those, but only in front of 80,000 people.

[Jason Kelsey]

You pulled it all. Well, there's a lot more people than 80,000 people that saw that. But that you pulled it off really well.

[Travis Kelsey]

Thanks. It's always scary. Have you ever came across like a really, like, Travis, we are the most.

[Jason Kelsey]

Generic white looking people on the planet. It is so many people.

[Travis Kelsey]

You know what?

[Jason Kelsey]

There were just 25 of them in downtown New Orleans, and you could not pick me out of a lineup.

[Travis Kelsey]

You're Where's Waldo, dude. Dude, have you ever seen that salt and pepper beard out of anybody? I. I look like I could. Yeah, I could take one. One good look at those tits and know. Know exactly who I look like.

[Jason Kelsey]

Twelve former presidents, including Grover Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, and like any other ones that are white with a beard.

[Travis Kelsey]

I remember Jonas Valentunas.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah. I remember you telling me this story.

[Travis Kelsey]

From Lithuania getting drafted in the NBA. And I was like, holy, I'm Lithuanian.

[Jason Kelsey]

I mean, we're not far off. It's close.

[Travis Kelsey]

I mean, dude, you can't tell me that I don't have lithuanium in my blood. Eastern Europe.

[Jason Kelsey]

I mean, it's definitely in Eastern Europe, but is it northeastern or is it like Slavic area?

[Travis Kelsey]

It's Slavic for sure. I have no idea.

[Jason Kelsey]

For some reason I feel like it's up north. Is it by Serbia?

[Travis Kelsey]

No, it's not that.

[Peyton Manning]

Poland.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, see, that's. That's higher north way up there. That's. That's different area than where our ancestors are. Not gonna lie. I feel like our ancestors just their way across Europe. It feels like we have a little bit of everything.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Which is why we look like everybody.

[Travis Kelsey]

True American mutt. Yeah, I guess I'll pass the time.

[Jason Kelsey]

Oh, we need a little bit of this over here. And we have our Ashkenazi over here, our Irish over here, our Slavic down here, a Serbian here.

[Travis Kelsey]

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 23andMe or whatever.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's true.

[Travis Kelsey]

We got to get that out of him.

[Jason Kelsey]

He just always says he's American. I'm American.

[Travis Kelsey]

Didn't matter.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah, we have ancestors in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. I guess that's accurate, Pop. So, yeah, solid photo. What was the question there?

[Travis Kelsey]

There was no question.

[Jason Kelsey]

Time travel. That was a question. Are you a time travel.

[Travis Kelsey]

I have some Marty McFlys, but that's about as close as I get to time traveling.

[Jason Kelsey]

If you could time travel, where would you go back to?

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, man, I'm trying to see some dinosaurs. Trying to figure out what the. How the. They made those pyramids.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, right.

[Jason Kelsey]

If I was. If I could time travel, I'd go back to Super Bowl 57 and make sure that we win that game. So then I wouldn't be depressed about not having lost that game.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah, I really don't feel that bad about my Super Bowl. I lost the Tom Brady. I mean, yeah, I.

[Jason Kelsey]

We won against Tom Brady. I didn't do much, but it was fun.

[Travis Kelsey]

All right, let's get to this next one from Tati. I need to know the history behind this picture. On do. We don't. We don't know the history. I play football for a living.

[Jason Kelsey]

My memory goes strong as. As a baby.

[Travis Kelsey]

Look at that. Dude.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'm doing curls. Is Kelsey.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's a pro.

[Jason Kelsey]

He's only two years younger than me.

[Travis Kelsey]

That's a pro.

[Jason Kelsey]

Is probably. He's not even a year old in that photo. That means I'm not even three yet.

[Travis Kelsey]

Look at that head of hair.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'm doing curls with my off hand. Peanut butter and jelly in my right.

[Travis Kelsey]

I don't know if you saw that.

[Jason Kelsey]

I'm yolked, dude. Dude, this might be the most impressive photo of my life captured in two and a half years.

[Travis Kelsey]

You got to get that outfit, dude. That is your kind of outfit.

[Jason Kelsey]

It's my outfit. Dig the socks. Got a nice bulge going.

[Travis Kelsey]

I hate you for making me look at your balls, man. I hate you. Dude, I didn't want to do it, man. All right, let me get out of this thing. Thank you for the picture. You guys want to do a voicemail? All right, let's do one voicemail. You just press it.

[Jason Kelsey]

Press.

[Travis Kelsey]

Hi. My question is we. Since we know that the winning super bowl team gets, like, a big party after what happens to the losing team?

[Jason Kelsey]

Are you kidding?

[Travis Kelsey]

Why do you laugh at that?

[Jason Kelsey]

The is psychopaths are like dreams from.

[Travis Kelsey]

Your childhood that you built up and you. Yeah, you lose them. What? That was harsh.

[Jason Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Travis Kelsey]

To Answer your question. The losing team, they both have parties and I, I. The one I lost actually was Covid year. So we just jumped back on the plane and went the home and I thought about jumping out the plane.

[Jason Kelsey]

Honestly, it's very weird. You. You. 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 shoe bowl.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yes.

[Jason Kelsey]

Losing party feels like.

[Travis Kelsey]

The funeral always overrides it. For sure.

[Jason Kelsey]

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.

[Travis Kelsey]

Yeah.

[Jason Kelsey]

Kind of trying to justify what happened and. Oh yeah, like that was. It was a fun season.

[Elijah Manning]

And you remember like, we.

[Jason Kelsey]

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.

[Travis Kelsey]

Shocky, man. I was. I'm. I was on a Shocky for a good two years.

[Jason Kelsey]

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.

[Travis Kelsey]

Oh, you know.

[Jason Kelsey]

But if you win, you're going on a Jeremy Shockey. And if you lose, you're going on a Jeremy Shockey.

[Travis Kelsey]

Shout out to Jeremy for being the best of both worlds, man.

[Jason Kelsey]

For being the tight end that Travis SC who looked up. Oh, my God.

[Travis Kelsey]

I still do. I still do. Jerry, I gotta meet you with Shaky man.

[Jason Kelsey]

You never met Shaky dude.

[Travis Kelsey]
