And yeah, I’m not gonna sit here and tell you that Taylor is not the most popular goddamn thing we’ve ever done. I’m not saying that.  When When do you think happen? When do you think it’s gonna happen again, Brandon, where somebody uh professes  his love for the most popular person on the planet and they end up actually starting to date and then they end up coming out releasing their album a year after that? When do you think that’s going to happen again, Brandon?  Lot of athletes got podcasts now. I

don’t know. THERE’S ONLY ONE TAYLOR SWIFT. We’re going to need a stadium tour. We’re gonna need someone.  It could happen.   Goes to the stadium tour and podcast.  Yeah.  Elevator access and then gets mad about it.   Takes it out on an ad breed.  Welcome back to New Heights, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.

Shout out to the Heights and shout out to the Bearcats. We’re going 1 and0. We uh just got done. I’m sure we’ll talk about it. taking uh our talents back to uh Nippert Stadium for a day and that was pretty fun.

 Follow the show on all social media at New Heights Show with 1S for fun clips throughout the week. And Jason, why don’t you tell the people uh what’s coming up for this episode?  SURE, TRAVIS 92%. WE GOT A GREAT EPISODE GEARED UP FOR YOU RIGHT NOW. WE’RE GOING TO BREAK DOWN ALL OF WEEK ONE THIS WEEK in the NFL. Going to talk about heading back to Cincinnati.

 We’re going to be joined by our first ever New Heights senior correspondent uh who will give us the scoop in his area of expertise which is officiating. Let’s dive into that right now. Let’s start with some of that new news.  New news.  New news is brought to you by Xfinity. And the newest news, Travis, is that new heights turns 200.

 Dude, we’re what is that? Bsentennial.  Yes, that’s correct. How about that, man?  I know.  They’re letting us do this for 200 full episodes and we haven’t got cancelled yet. We got a good team. We got to keep the team tight.  Cancel myself.  Keep the team tight.  Yeah.

 Well, how about it? Do Are we doing anything for uh our official 200th episode?  Well, actually, uh funny you say that. Uh Jake put this out on social as well as Brandon.  That’s right. Jake, an intern.  Well, this is pre-baby. Pre-baby. This was when he was working. Now he is at home watching that baby and mama like he should be like he should be.

Um   great delivery.  That’s right. Anyways, so take a look at this list. 92 top moments from our show’s past. All voted on and submitted by you all.  It was not voted on.  There was some type of What happened? How did you make number one, number two, number three? They put this They just put this together.

 There’s no way. There’s no way they put that together without putting Taylor  said this.  I’m dead serious. We We It’s We made it  up. Those of us who made the 92 moments made it up. It’s a preseason list people to argue about. If you want more detail, we did record.  So, Brandon, these are your favorite top these are your these are just your favorite moments.

 We fought about some. We did fight about some. I think they hold up. There’s There was a reason behind all of them. If you want the reason, we did record uh audio only podcast you can listen to where we explain these.  No, no, no. You’re good. You’re good.  I think that the millions of views episode that uh broke the internet quite literally  probably should be number one.

 It’s tough. Well, do you want the reason? Do you want the reason? I think it’s tough.  Sure. Give me your  reason, Brit.  being a I I think the moment in season one of you guys being the first brothers to play in the Super Bowl and having to then record a podcast about it is something that  genuinely will not happen again.

 To me, that was like  defining moment of the show.  And yeah, I’m not going to sit here and tell you that Taylor is not the most popular goddamn thing we’ve ever done. I’m not saying that.  When When do you think When do you think it’s going to happen again, Brandon? where somebody uh professes his love for the most popular person on the planet and then they END UP ACTUALLY STARTING TO DATE AND then they end up coming out releasing their album a year after that.

When do you think that’s going to happen again, Brandon?  A lot of athletes got podcast now. I don’t know.  THERE’S ONLY ONE TAYLOR SWIFT.   WE’RE going to need a stadium tour. We’re going to need someone.  It could happen.  Goes to the stadium tour and podcast.  Yeah.  Elevator access and then gets mad about it. takes it out on an ad read.

 And I’ll throw Kylie up there, too. Kylie should be above the other. It should be It should be Taylor. It should be Taylor first and then Kylie because Kylie’s episode then she launched her other podcast and then that’s launched into a whole  thing. Those two moments were going to make this list. This list  could have been better.

 Yeah. Yeah.  It’s fine. Argue about it. Get in the comments. Yell at me. That’s fine. I don’t read them anyways.  What’s the last one? What’s the What’s the 92nd? The one that stuck on there, Ed Kelsey on child abductions.   All right, if we’re being honest, that should be higher.

   Nice. All right. Well, there we go.  Other new news. Shout out to Payton and Eli for having us help launch this season of the Manning Cast,  dude.  Commercial just launched. It’s online. I did. I did. I did see it. A  It’s so good. It’s too long for us to show the entire thing. It’s about  20 minute 15 20 minutes.

 It’s so  good though, man. They never miss. It was an honor to be uh some of the NFL brothers to uh come in and uh make that thing pop.  I wish we would have gone back and forth more like uh the Harbaugh brothers were going back and forth.  They  should we should have they they killed it.

 We should have been doing a little bit more of that. But either way, it’s out now. Check it out on social. And more importantly, check out the Manny Cast this year on Mondays. You’re going to love it.  All right. Now,  uh the Manny’s aren’t the only ones broadcasting games this year, Trav. Uh, I will be broadcasting four games this year with my friends Kurt Warner and Dave Pash,  dude. Kurt Warner.

 That’s right, Kurt. Yep. The, uh, orchestrator of the greatest show on turf.   cool.  Hall of Fame quarterback. Uh, and even so far, he’s been nothing but helpful, you know, am so honored to just be in a booth and to learn from these guys. Um because I really we did a test run down in uh Houston and it was every bit as challenging as I expected it was going to be and I just Kurt has been so helpful. So is Dave.

 Um but excited to go over there and be overseas with those guys and to call a few games this year. No, no doubt about it. Um and we got some great games. Got some great games.  Yeah, you do. You got a a little Eagles Jaguars out in London uh week five. Week four, you got another London game, Colts versus Commanders.

 Um, week seven, you got Steelers and Saints in Paris. Petty,  right?  First game in Paris.  First game in Paris. Kylie speaks French. Hopefully, she can come along and translate for me. Um,   let’s go. And then week 16 is to be determined.  Yeah, that’ll be a flex game on a Saturday.  Nice. Well, never say never.

 See if I’ll get flexed.  That’d be great. Did you request the international games on purpose or was that uh just the uh the ones?  I mean that was what was available, right?  Yeah. So ESPN bought NFL Network. So now that NFL Network package that used to be or still is with them now ESPN is kind of handling.

 So yeah, I mean that was kind of the opportunity there. I mean they’re not adding actually they took away Monday night games. There’s no more double headers on Monday night. So it’s only one game every Monday night which I think is the right move. The double hitters were fun, too, but it feels like Monday night should be a standalone game.

 Now, I’m never going to complain about a lot of football, man. But it it feels like it took a little bit of the magic out of like the one game you get to see on Monday night, the one game you get to play in on Monday night. Like, let let the let the show be the show, man. When the lights are on, baby,  there’s nothing like playing on Monday night, man.

 So, yeah, ESPN took away some of the games in that regard. So, obviously they’re working with the new NFL uh network games. Listen, man. I’ve always been curious what it’s like up there in the booth. Seems like a lot of fun.  Oh, yeah.  And thankfully, they’re not putting me, you know, I got some help.

 I got some seasoned veterans up there with me.  I was going to say, yeah, you have a good crew  cuz I am very much a rookie.  Turn the lights on, man. You’ll see that that blinking red dot, man. You know you’re live. And go out there and have some fun, dude.  Start going.  All right.

 Now, well, that’s it for new news brought to you by Xfinity. Let’s get into some bold topics. Bold Topics is brought to you by NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. How about it? It’s kickoff week, baby. And football is officially back.   Yes, it is. Not only we kicking off, WE’RE KICKING OFF MONDAY NIGHT Football with the KELSEY BROTHERS.

 THE BRONCOS TAKE ON THE CHIEFS. And I’m going to be in the house to watch it all happen. Um Tra, how’s it feel going into season 14?  Done. I’m fired the  up right now. There’s nothing better, man, than the feeling you get going into week one. You get a fresh start, especially if you got a sour taste in your mouth from last year or it it you get a fresh start with a new team. Everybody’s healthy.

Everybody’s ready to  rock and roll. Um there’s a lot of juice in the building right now, man. And uh we’re excited to get after it on Monday night.  Is it better or worse to start off on the national stage,  man? Give me the  lights, man.  Yeah.  Put me under the lights, dog. every game. I  love it, man.

 There’s nothing better than prime time football. The magic is in the air. You feel how how intense the game is, especially if it’s a divisional game. Everything’s everything matters a little bit more. The team knows you a little bit more. You got to be more dialed in. Um and uh I know Shawn Peyton’s got those those guys fired up and ready to rock and roll, too.

 So, I’m looking to, you know, get after it, baby.  Well, it is not without change. Obviously, the Kansas City Chiefs have had a lot of continuity over the last, I don’t know, seven, eight years, whatever you want to call it. Um, Andy Reed still at the helm, but Eric Benemy is back as the offensive coordinator. Pat Mahomes is back from his ACL injury.

 We have some new guys out wide, new running back. Where do you guys feel as an offense and how you’ve gone through this whole off season and where you guys are at heading into a game against who probably a team that probably was the best team in the AFC last year. Not throwing shade at New England, but if Bicks doesn’t get hurt, I have a feeling they might find their way into the Super Bowl last season.

 I hear you. And you were talking about continuity from over the years. Well, one thing we have new this year is a guy named Kenneth Walker. might have heard of him winning the Super Bowl last year and winning the Super Bowl MVP last year and uh  it’s going to be exciting to see Arrow Arrowhead get to see that guy.

 It’s definitely been a different feel this offseason from from everything that happened last year, who who we brought in um and how we’ve reshaped this organization from the inside. I think it’s it’s like I said, I keep saying exciting, man. I I cannot wait to get out there and show everybody what we’ve been working on and especially uh you know getting out there and see Kenneth Walker in a Chiefs jersey.

 Man, that dude is an absolute beast and uh I think we’ll be handing the ball off to him quite a bit.  Walker is a bit thicker than I remember  than I than I thought.  Dude, watching him in Seattle and then seeing him in person and thicker in a good way. like enormous thighs, a big old BBL on the back side of it.

 Like he’s got  some girth to him that’s got some ability to sustain. Bill Bich, he knows. Good way to check it out. You got to check out that rear end on guys that that’ll tell you a lot.  Unless you look at Jason Kelsey, then don’t don’t judge me too hard.  you know, in Seattle heading into the playoffs when Charminate went down.

 I was curious to see how he was going to do as a featured back with a bigger workload because he seemed like more of like that like scat back quick explosive playmaker, but then you watch him play all plays, man, this guy’s like running through dudes. Yeah. Like he is a strong  player. So K9’s the real deal, man.

 He’s uh and he’s not not only is he the the the type of athlete that you want, but it’s in type in in terms of the mentality and being a teammate. And I mean, he checks all the boxes, man. He’s just he’s he’s one of the best in the league right now. And he and he got compensated uh deservingly so in the offseason because of the hard work he’s put in and how he’s conducted himself as a professional knowing about the situation that was in Seattle.

 And that’s why he was ready to just step in whenever his number was called.  Yeah.  So, we’re excited to have him as a chief. You guys got a new running back, receiver, lot of, you know, we got Worthy coming back, Rashi Rice. What is the deal with Cyrus Allen, though? I want to I want to talk about the Bearcat grad.

 Cyrus, baby.  Lot of noise coming out of camp that he’s been looking really good. What What kind of uh playmaking ability and what what will he bring to the offense, you think? You know, I think right now it’s uh we got a stacked stacked wide receiver room and I know uh I know Xavier Worthy is taking that next step.

Rasheed Rice has been proven in this offense. Um and he’s he’s looking as prime and as ready as he’s ever been.  Um and then Taquan Thornton’s a tall uh pass receiver downfield that made a lot of huge plays for us last year.  Not about him. Yeah. and and you know there’s there’s a handful of others like uh like Nico and Jaylen more I mean I could go on but I think uh what what you’re alluding to is the the excitement you saw through or heard through camp his playmaking ability the preseason catches he’s had he’s got a lot of

explosiveness in terms of his his playmaking ability and um he’s got a savviness to his routes uh that you just can’t teach. You know, some guys just have a good feel for it and he’s one of those guys, man. Well, uh, the biggest news I think that everybody’s going to want to talk before the game. Pat Mahomes is officially back from his ACL injury only nine months ago.

 There’s a lot of questions on whether Pat would be able to get back in in terms of playing for this game. He will be out there. We are going to see the best quarterback in the NFL play this Monday. What version are we going to see? A big part of Pat’s game is his ability to create. And that’s one of the reasons you guys have been so good is off the schedule.

 You know, play breaks down. He’ll he’ll scramble around. He’ll run it. He’ll find you. He’ll find somebody. Like that’s been one of the really explosive areas of his game. Is that still there? Do you see that in practice?  I mean I mean I’m not going to tell you what I’m seeing in practice, but what I’ve seen is a guy do everything he possibly can to be ready for week one.

What he’s done to get to this point is second to none. And uh you saw that switch flip when he when he had the surgery of how he was going to be determined to get healthy uh for the season. And um we’re excited that he’s he’s going to be out there rocking with us on week one, you know, in terms of his ability to move around and stuff like that. He’s a competitor, man.

 And he only knows one way to play the game. When that ball snap, I I expect to just see Patty Beahomes out there playing football.  Yeah. One thing that I think so if I’m being like very honest, part of me thinks back to Carson Wentz and when Carson went down with the ACL injury, he wasn’t the same in that regard of creating and figuring things out off schedule and outside the pocket.

 The difference I think with Pat I just that dude seems to just find a way like no matter what it is and that’s just one of the ways that he does it. And if that’s not there, he just seems to me like the type of guy that has that it factor that he’s gonna find another way to do it.  There’s just a competitive edge to him, man.

 He he understands the game to a certain degree, man. If one thing doesn’t work, he has the ability to tweak how he’s playing or tweak what he’s doing uh to still get that same success and uh that’s why we love him, man.  Huge division implications at play. That one is going to be fun to watch. Good luck, Trav. Eagles Commanders. First look at new Philly offense.

 That’s right. With Shawn Manion at the helm or calling the plays right now. Uh what do you what do you want to see the Eagles offense go out there and do immediately?  What do I want to see them do? I mean, I want to see him score touchdowns. What do I see him do?  Yeah. Well, let’s get a little bit more. Let’s dissect a little bit more.

 I’m really looking forward to seeing what the new offense is going to look like. I don’t think we’ve and not only do I not think they’ve flat out said they have not shown what this offense is going to look like yet in the preseason. Um you know we know what this looks like in the McVey Shanahan tree with the under the motions uh the outside zones paired with the boots paired with the drop back play actions paired with the screens how it all looks similar how they build leverage and angles in the run game and in the passing game. I

always have enjoyed watching these offenses on other teams. Uh very much looking forward to seeing what these guys look like this Sunday against the Commanders. There’s a lot of new on both sides of the ball. Eagles obviously new offensive coordinator. First time Jaylen’s ever run a system like this. First time this team has done something like this offensively.

 Pretty much the exact same thing’s happening over in Washington. They just hired a new offensive coordinator, David Blah, who’s also in this background. So obviously Jaden Daniels has done a lot of the college no huddle spread RPO zone read offense to this point in his career with Cliff Kingsbury. Now all of a sudden they’re going to be doing this as well.

He’s going to be more in the center. So we’re going to see both offenses doing similar changes and it’ll be interesting to see how much they change, how much they kind of keep some semblance of what they did or is it all going to be brand new. And it’s going to be interesting watching both of those teams.

 Obviously, Washington had a ton of injuries last year. Jane Daniels was hurt for a very large portion of it. So was McLaren. So, it’s going to be uh it’s going to be interesting to see what they look like as well offensively. And then for us going up against uh going up against Washington’s defense, they’re not even going to be this Dan Quinn defense.

 Dan Quinn comes from the Pete Carroll cover three. Not a whole lot of variety, right? They’re going to play a four down front. It’s going to be, you know, pretty much cover three all day. Like that’s what they do. They live in it and they know where their weaknesses are and they adjust accordingly. Quinn had starting to adjust a little bit when he was in Dallas where he started blitzing a little bit more, playing more cover one, trying to throw teams off.

 Now, it appears that they’re going to be pretty much running Minnesota’s defense under Brian Flores. They hired Dvonte Jones, who’s from the Brian Flores tree. Couldn’t be more different. Way more middlefield open, two high shell looking defenses. They pressure at an absurd rate, but they play palms and quarters behind it.

 So, this is going to be a way different looking commanders team, and I’m looking forward to see what that looks like, how well they execute that. I mean, it’s it’s been highly successful in Minnesota. I do think you got to have some guys at linebacker to make that system work.  Drafted one.  That’s right. So like Brian Flores from the New England tree in New England they had the the Jamie Collins High Tower all these guys that could be on the line of scrimmage and physical and holding down a point they could be off ball and coverage it was it allows them to be

multiple and even though it’s a different thing that they’re doing in Minnesota than what they ever did in New England they like that versatility still you got a guy like Van Ginkle up in Minnesota who brings a lot of value. Ivan Pace Jr. another Cincinnati guy I think has been a good piece for them throughout the last couple years.

 It doesn’t surprise me they go out with the seventh pick overall and get styles from Georgia. Those guys because they have to operate in so much space when they do pressure and play an umbrella on top. They have to they have a lot of room to roam in that middle ground of coverage. And then on top of that, they got to be able to hold up against offensive linemen in the run game if they’re going to mug all these guys up.

 So, I can’t wait to see what all this looks like. It’s a lot of creative. It’s a lot of creativeness and new things that are trending in the NFL. How well do these teams incorporate them? And then obviously,  I mean, Philadelphia Eagles, their front, how they Washington’s already banged up, right? They’re missing Laramie Tonsel, Aligretti, our guy Aligretti from  Damn Nikki Aligrad.

 He’s been hurt for a lot of the preseason. He’s coming back for this one, it sounds like.  But they’re already banged up. I mean, this is what we’ve been waiting for. Philadelphia’s been waiting to see what this offense is actually going to look like, what Jaylen Herz is going to look like, how Saquon Barkley is going to do in this operation, and we’re going to get our first taste of it this week.

 I never liked playing new coordinators week one. Like, if I had my choice, I would rather have a coordinator that we had tape on the previous year. When you’re facing new guys, it’s like, you know, what exactly are they going to do? It’s a little bit more unsure.  It’s a lot more of Yeah. adjustments and and figuring out what they’re what they’re going to do in the drives.

 But I mean, and that and that’s the thing. If you if you look at what Dan Quinn’s done a lot in the past, doesn’t matter if he’s a new coordinator at another team, you know, you typically have got a good understanding of just his track record, right?  But with uh Donte Jones not necessarily being a Dcoordinator in Minnesota or um just coming in and kind of being a fresh face with Dan Quinn, I think it’s going to be interesting.

 It’s going to be interesting to see how it all unfolds. And yeah, you know, uh the good thing about this Philly offense is it’s it’s good verse all, man. You got  ball players, man.  You do got play.  You got you got ball players. You got Jaylen Saquon, man. If they come out running that running the ball and getting downhill,  I can see I can see them uh handling this game uh willingly.

 Man,  one thing I’m going to be looking at, and I think if you’re watching the game, go ahead and take a look at it. You’re going to see some exotic looks. If this is at all like Brian Flores, there’s going to be some exotic things early. And that’s one thing I always felt like when we played, Brian, there was going to be six or seven looks for the game that were going to be give you issues early, but if you were able to, you know, kind of remember these and kind of log them, you’d start to see them repeat themselves. And then as the game went,

it was like, “Oh, here comes this one. Here comes this one. And if you’re not ready for it, it can be overwhelming. But, um, I’m gonna be looking to see if that pattern holds up.  Well, uh, good luck to the Eagles and, you know, good luck to the Commanders and good luck to everybody else in the  league.

 Well, we’re about to get to the rest of the league. Outside of the Eagles, we do have week one coming up. Lot of lot of exciting storylines to keep your eye on. Here’s some of our favorites. Trav, what are you looking forward to watching in week one? Outside of Chiefs, Eagles, I will say um even though they’re in the division, I am intrigued uh to see how the entire AFC West offenses look.

 I think uh you know, the quarterback situation in Las Vegas. Um Herbert taking another step. Um I think uh Bo Nicks and the gang, I I’m I’m just interested to see see what my division uh has to offer in terms of uh firepower, man.  Same. I I’m the Chargers are one of the teams I’m looking forward to watching the most.

 Mike McDaniel, I think, is one of the best schemers. Like obviously it didn’t work out in Miami as a head coach, but if you watch the scheme that they implemented every Sunday, there was some really creative unique blocking schemes, the way they utilize motions, the way they would throw these like screens kind of out to the flat but with route concepts downfield.

 Like I really am excited to see what this looks like in LA. really excited to see AFC North. I mean, we grew up in the AFC North. Not so much excited to watch Cleveland, to be honest with you. Like, I hope they do well. I’m always excited to watch the Browns, but I think Baltimore is going to make a major comeback with Jesse Miner.

 I think that just starting with something fresh. They were ravaged by injuries last year, which derailed that season  in itself. I think Miner is doing a lot of creative things defensively and is bringing some forward thinking to fronts and coverages and blitzes. And I mean, you watch the preseason game that they did against the Eagles.

 They were doing he did a simulated overload front pressure in a preseason game. I can’t wait to see what this guy has in store for the regular season. Um, and on top of that, they got Lamar coming back and then Joe Burrow. I mean, I’m always excited to watch Joey B play with Higgins and U Jamar Chase.  NFC West, baby.

 We got a a good one early over there down under um with the NerS and the Rams. Uh obviously the Rams, all the moves they made uh or the big move they made. Um and then uh seeing where the 49ers are right now and uh how great they’ve been in years past. Um you know, that division is just it’s packed with the Seahawks too making, you know, defending their title.

 Um, I’m interested to see just how how competitive uh each game is over there.  I had the Rams down as another storyline. Just obviously everything with Aaron Donald and Miles Garrett uh which we have found out Aaron is not playing week one. Travis, that’s correct.  Correct. That’s where I just  he’s not traveling.

 So, you know, we’ll have to wait another week to see what that looks like with him and Miles on the field at the same time, which is an offensive lineman. I can’t wait to see what teams do to try and mitigate the chaosness that’s going to be up front for them. I can’t wait to see how they on uh on the defensive side try and prevent teams from doubling and sliding and doing all these things.

 What are they doing to try and protect the players? Um but I’m also always fired up to watch the Rams. The Seahawks were awesome to watch last year on defense. I really like the way they play. Leonard Williams just got a brand new contract. Outstanding player.  Lost some pieces on the defensive side. So, it’s going to be intriguing to see how they fill those roles.

 They still got that big pterodactyl at nickel. What’s his name? Uh,  I forget his name, too.  Uh, it’s like Emmani or whatever. Uh, gosh,  that guy  wrecks havoc, man.  The nickel position has turned into such like a crucial piece on defense now. I mean, if you look what Mentor did with uh Derwin James, he’s got another one another kind of big safety like that in Kyle Hamilton who can come down and play that nickel position or you know, however they run their their, you know, personnels out there, somebody that can

play in the box and play free.  Yeah, if you look at the best defense in the NFL right now, I think that you the common denominator is they have a guy that plays that position, can play the run really well, can match up with anybody in the pass game. like it’s a spot that has turned into one of the most valuable on the team, right? You got Petri in Houston, Cooper Deene in Philadelphia, uh Hamilton in Baltimore.

Should I say I’m looking forward to seeing what Dallas looks like?  I will. I  mean, I am. I’m looking forward to seeing what it looks I mean, offensively, they’re already they’re loaded.  They are  loaded,  dude. They made no offensive acquisitions this offseason. every draft pick, every free agent, it’s like 30 some players, new all defensive guys.

 Looks like the old head ball coach uh said, “I’m good on offense, baby.  I’m  y’all get that  figured out over there.” Uh we’re we’re rolling.  It is insane. I’ve never seen anything like that.  I mean, the biggest thing is they they they found a way to get pickings back. I think whether it’s franchise or whatever it was, I think you got to do it.

 You get that two-headed monster outside the numbers, man. Um, with a good run game, Dax’s gonna figure some  out. Yeah. All righty, that wraps it up for Bold Topics. Bold Topics, once again, was brought to you by NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV.  How about it? All righty. We got Out of the House this weekend.

 Out of the house is brought to you by Expedia. We went back to a UC game. Connor Barwin and Brent Celich joined us as well as Kylie for the Bearcats taking on Boston College.  Well, the real reason we went back was Jason got inducted to the Hall of Fame and uh and I wanted to make sure I was there for my big brother and uh sure enough, it was uh it was a nice old Cincinnati ass whooping. That’s right.

We’ve been we’ve been pretty good on opening day. Um better in the start of the season than at the end. But um Jason, how’d you uh how how’d you enjoy getting back? Well, first of all, I’ll preface it with I I think the induction ceremony is still in October. So, this was just going to the game where they’re kind of honoring us and saying that Connor and I are being inducted in this year’s class along with Bob Huggin will also be inducted this year in the Bearcats Hall of Fame.

 Um, we got to see the new facilities that they just built for the football team. And  shout out to Larry Shakeley.  That’s right. That’s right. Uh, and it was incredible to see how much has changed. Every time I go back, it doesn’t I mean, the campus looks the same in a lot of ways, but it it’s been incredible how much they continue to change and continue to move forward.

 Um, you know, there’s a lot going on in higher education right now. I mean, not just football. Football has all this NIL stuff. Everything happening on that front. There’s also, you know, colleges are closing left and right. Not so much the big schools, but like Kylie’s college in Cababrini isn’t there anymore.

 Kids are starting to weigh like the expense of going to college and all of these different factors. So, it’s just an interesting time at that level. And I really enjoyed uh talking to President Neville. I really enjoyed seeing all the good things that UC is doing and continuing to do to move forward.  That’s the thing, man. How much has grown in just in terms of the the kids there were I think there was close to 25 or 30,000 when we were there and now it’s all the way it’s it’s over 50,000 which is insane.

 Something that was really cool they offered this year was any instate kid that qualifies to get into Cincinnati whose parents make less than 75,000 doesn’t pay for school. And I’m just I I feel like they’re continuing to push forward into this making UC a viable option for kids from all walks of lives who can afford it and having job opportunities right out of college.

 Yeah.  Cincinnati started the co-op program. That was the first university to really institute that. They’ve done a lot of things. They’ve always been really connected with the business um leaders in the community of Cincinnati, whether it’s the hospitals, uh the u the businesses like PNG. It’s a very wellestablished and entrenched part of that community.

 And it’s good to see that it’s being stewarded in a way both athletically and academically that is headed in a direction that I think it needs to go in the future.  Hell yeah, brother. And outside of that, it was just good seeing everybody, right? Got to see a lot of former teammates, all the people that were in that were there when we were there and are continuing to do great things.

 Yeah. And make Cincinnati home for for the next wave of kids. Man, it’s the best. I mean, I second everything you said you you were saying about the University of Cincinnati, how it’s growing. Um, and just, you know, seeing that it’s still that uh that segue into into the modern world, man. the kids, that’s where we grew up.

 Um, and to see that, uh, you know, athletes and students are, you know, getting even better opportunity and better life there, uh, as as much as we’ve seen the campus grow and, uh, more things be at their, uh, disposal. No, I think what you’re saying is, and this is the same thing I feel whenever I’m on a college campus, you’re dealing with young people that are excited about what’s to come in their life.

 They’re away from their families for their first time. It’s exactly  and it’s it’s whenever [snorts] you’re there, you just get swept up in that whether it’s with the football team, whether it’s just walking around campus. I love being back around college campuses and being back at Cincinnati where we went through that ourselves.

 It just makes it even more like hit home. So yeah, um it was awesome being back. Got to see a bobblehead of myself. I don’t know if you saw this, Travis.  I did see it. I did see it. It was a banger. real life Bible the bobblehead too. Life  was the Was the contrast this high in real life.

 Like look at how tan Kylie and I I feel like this is like somebody edited this.  Oh, you guys are in great No, you this is how tan you are right now. 100%.  That’s how dark my skin looks right there.  Yeah. Nothing like a little garage beer pub.  How unathletic do my calves look in this bobblehead? Like they just gave me kinkles. Look at that.

   They gave you cartoon legs, man. Hey,  those look like the legs of Peter Griffin.  That’s right. No definition.    Jason, did you get Adriaticos for the plane?  Our plane got delayed because there were some thunderstorms coming in, so we had time to go get Adriaticos before we left. Uh, did not disappoint.

 What do you get on on your Adriaticos?  Uh, I usually do the pepperoni sausage meat lovers type deal.  I’m a big pepperoni banana peppers fan. We need to get back to the square pizzas. Even though when it’s even when it’s like the the medium though. I want the medium squared. I need the medium squared too. The circles.

 I I don’t like the circles. I don’t get as  much.  I was a major fatty. I was a major fatty at Cincinnati. After the game, we went and got Adriaticos. Dude, we went and got Adriaticos. Then we went to Skyline  and we were contemplating going to Grers right after that. We l Thankfully did not do that.

 Crers would have been the perfect uh cap to the evening. Which one still hit the same?  They both still hit the exact same.  Nice. All right. I just wanted to  had a nice three-way and a cheese coney. Adriatico’s I mean, it was fantastic.  That sweet and spicy sauce, man. They got this  figured out, dog. They got that figured out.

 I’m all in.  I don’t know. I don’t know if there’s more. I don’t know why there’s not more. Um,  I don’t think everybody’s a fan of like the thicker doughy like slices.  Come on. If it’s made like that, they Why wouldn’t they be?  Well, I I’m I’m in it. I mean, we grew up on pan pizza from Pizza Hut.

 You know what I mean? Like, I don’t know. I’m I’m in on the thick.  Come on. Yeah.  Like New York style is awesome as well. I like I like a lot of different ranges of pizza. I think I’m getting pizza tonight, actually. Now, the more that we’re talking about it, I think it might be pizza night tonight.

 Well, that’s out of the house. Brought to you by Expedia Bearcats. Let’s keep this.  Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce aren’t your average newlyweds when it comes to where they’ll call home. Right now, Travis Leewood, Kansas home is his and Taylor’s primary residence and a big home base for them, especially while he’s still playing for the Chiefs.

 A source exclusively told Page 6, he bought the place a few years back. But that doesn’t mean Kansas City will always be their primary home. where their base is going to change depending on what they both have going on. Unlike most married couples who settle into one home, the pop superstar and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, both 36, will have the luxury of moving between several properties across the country with their home base changing throughout the year.

 New York is obviously a big home base for them, too. Taylor has had her place in Tribeca for years and owns several properties there, including the pen houses she combined and the townhouse next door. The insider said she also has homes in Nashville, Rhode Island, and Beverly Hills, so they have plenty of options depending on where they need to be.

 The Big Apple is already proving to be one of those spots with the newlywed stepping out for a romantic date night in New York City over the weekend. The couple dined at the Indian restaurant Ambassador’s Clubhouse, a hot spot in the Nomad District Sunday night. According to the source, they’ll definitely be spending plenty of time at the new Ohio house to especially during Travis offse.

 It’s this beautiful property in Bradenol, just a few miles from Cleveland Heights where he grew up. The insider noted, “It’s not like they bought a house like that and aren’t planning to use it.” Once Kelsey eventually retires from the NFL, the couple will have more freedom to bounce between their homes. The source explained, “They’re not looking at it like they have to pick one house, and that’s where they’re going to live year round.

” The insider said, “Their lives take them to different places throughout the year, so where they consider home base is really going to depend on what they have going on at the time.” The arrangement comes as the Grammy winner and the Super Bowl champion are still soaking up the excitement of making things official after tying the knot in a star-studded ceremony at Madison Square Garden on July 3rd.

 Swift and Kelsey went in front of more than 1,000 guests at the venue with an impressive mix of family members, longtime friends, teammates, and celebrities in attendance. At around 7:30 p.m., the garden’s exterior lit up with pink digital screens reading Just and Tea married. Swift’s longtime publicist, Tree Payne, who was at the wedding, confirmed a page six, the love story.

 Singer walked down the aisle in a Christian Dior hope couture gown and Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony. Austin Swift served as his sister’s man of honor while Kelsey’s older brother Jason Kelsey served as his best man. Payne also confirmed. The couple revealed their engagement in August 2025 with a playful Instagram post that read, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.

” ending the caption with a dynamite emoji, seemingly referencing their TNT nickname. The Loveirds engagement came after nearly two whirlwind years together. Swift was first spotted cheering Kelsey on at a Kansas City Chiefs game in September 2023, and the pair went public with their relationship soon
