Uh and we’ve got to talk about it that’s one thing that we are good at is making sure we talk about things uh but before that Jason tell the people what we got coming up we got an incredible episode everyone we’re of course going to get into uh the retirement speech everything
That went involved in making that decision uh we’re also going to get the trav’s time down under the house and check out some fan mentions including a viral photo of a cat that apparently looks like me well it doesn’t look like me it’s got a uh a fur whatever we’re
Going to talk about it and we’ll wrap up things uh with some no dumb retirement questions from the 92 percenters but first as always new new new news coming in voice back so I can actually hit that note all right Kelsey Brothers bobblehead night that’s right we’re
Headed back to the land right after this episode as of this time the taping of the show uh we are in Philadelphia but immediately following we are headed to Cleveland for the official Kelsey Brothers bobblehead night this is sool at the Cleveland Cavaliers game a portion of the proceeds have been agreed
To be donated uh to uh the height schools Foundation we grew up in Cleveland Heights so this was an awesome collaboration and a opportunity to go back one watch a Cavs game all right now be back in Cleveland but also two to give back to uh the schools and uh
Community that raised us yeah dude this is this is uh this hits home for me because I used to take the rapid downtown just to go watch Cavs games when I was you used to take the rapid really yeah in high school that’s nice mom used to take it to work every day
Yeah yeah nice mom you mom actually used to Key Bank and then uh Bank One used to have business tickets at these Cavs games yeah and I would tell and I once I figured that one out I was like Mom you make sure you put put our name down on
Every single one of those tickets and whichever ones don’t hit and we like even if it was like us versus like whoever was trash like the worst in the league at that point in time like I think the Cavs were kind of the worst but either way whoever was the worst at
LeBron James nobody wanted to go to that game I will happily go to that game yeah you like big Z and zunis Ricky Ricky Davis yeah baby D miles just back when it was the gun Wesley persons Danny fery should I well this is Danny was done by
This point yeah you’re right Carlos Boozer yeah Carlos sper was there for sure then LeBron James if you guys remember I remember actually tickets went up I didn’t go to I didn’t go to very many games once LeBron yeah there were the Cavs tickets and there was also
The uh those tickets also worked for any of the other events so we’d go to Lumberjack games oh yeah go to uh you remember the one time we went to the monster truck rally dude that was dope we need to go to a monster truck
Rally they do want it to link I haven’t been to one for I don’t know if it’s it was good as a kid I don’t know yeah good point take the girls gotta be sweet oh they’d love it I think they would yeah well uh what do you think of this
Bobblehead um I think it’s I think it’s got your weight a little disproportioned but no it’s good I I look nice and slim my head looks enormous but it’s a bobblehead so I think that is this what is this the body type you’re looking to go to in
Retirement uh I I feel like if it’s hard to gauge cuz my head’s so large cuz that is one thing that happens with offensive lineman when they lose weight they go too far and your head I feel like your head gets bigger when you play offive line and it never really shrinks back
Down like my skull has transformed from years of being 290 lbs so if I go too light then I’ll actually look like this bobblehead and I don’t want to look like that yeah it’s typically in the neck what I see like because your neck is like that’s your
Protectors that’s why you got to keep doing neck give my man Dave Andrews don’t want to get a pencil Dave Anders man got the jerseys on got your dad you got your air dads on the the new balance uh Edition um I think these are sweet
Man and I wish I could spin a basketball on my finger like this I cannot we tried we tried to learn that so hard and just never got it down the globe shers never taught me that one I feel like there’s a trick that you can learn it that’ be
Pretty easy but we this is like YouTube wasn’t around should we try and redo this should we finally learn this I feel there’s got to be a YouTube video out there that like teaches us I don’t think it’s interesting enough um okay cool we’re really appreciative that the the
Cavs are doing this for us um and we’re going to show up and try and get that place as Rowdy as possible knowing that they got the Boston Celtics coming in town uh I believe the number one and the number two teams in the east in the
Right now Cavs are back up on top baby go we’re also launching a a clothing collaboration with the Cavs team shop the uh the Kel Bros Cleveland’s finest which is pretty damn cool um so make sure you uh you check that out the limited edition merch uh when it’s
Available at the Cleveland Cavaliers team shop.com Cavaliers team shop.com am I Cleveland’s finest yes you are I don’t think that’s Jason you are Cleveland you are literally of Cleveland’s finest it’s like you and Steve Harvey are like and Jim Carrey Drew Carrey Drew Carrey I wish Jim Carrey that’d be a nice one
That’d be pretty crazy Drew is good too I love you drew that’s a great one yeah it’s you3 right there at the top and like Jason said portion of the proceeds we go into the Cleveland Heights uh schools Foundation initiative and um we always love giving back to the heights
Baby no doubt Jason ran a five K how about that we ran a 5k dude ran walk a 5k was this like the start of you becoming a bobblehead or what no uh yeah this this was not the start of losing weight this is uh so we do our uh
Foundation event every year down in SE a that raises money for the Eagles autism Foundation uh but Mike Seafood has been doing an annual event for 15 years now I believe Mike Mike’s is good down there too yeah yeah Mike is the man and um his
Son is on the Spectrum and they’ve been doing a lot of things for uh the autism cause for and raising money and awareness for a long time far preceding Us in SE Isle City in particular uh that was actually my first time ever going there was for the Polar Plunge which is
When Mike does his event every year nice so we thought uh you know you skipped out on the Polar pin this year no I did it oh nice was that the 5K the 5K was the polar so they don’t do they used to have like a specific time where everyone
Would go into the ocean together now they still have like the plunge but you kind of go at your own pace or if you do it whatever but the 5K is the only thing that really is like a thing that happens now the event down there so we were down
There we wanted to go down there because we have a house down there now and it’s awesome when you take the girls to the beach you just let him run we thought uh you know it’d be really cool to go and run in Mike’s event and uh show up for
That so tried running it yeah I had like I had my monarchs not the best running shoe I don’t think they I’ll tell you what you can mow some grass you could yeah they’re great you could lay some mulch yeah they’re great lawn mower you could plant some flowers you could you could
Do some handy work in the garage yeah not a 5k shoe but not a 5k shoe running around in those things so we started off you can cuz you did you did it but we started off running and I’m I should have know like first of all we were late
We showed up a little bit late so it had already started perfect that’s genius and I start running and I’m like we’re like did you steal a few blocks too did you no you started we started right from the we kind of snuck in and still went
And as we’re running we’re like passing people I’m like okay we’re doing pretty good here and I should have known at that point like hey we need to just slow this pace down so we’re running and one of the uh Hammond that we’re with says uh Taylor says that every 20 blocks or
Something like that is a mile all right she just throws that out there so I’m running and we hit about 20 blocks and I’m like hey I’m doing good the block the blocks are kind of short over there that’s I can see that it’s not the case
Let me we going to get to it so I thought that was where we were at and I’m like okay I’m I’m cruising this is a good Pace I think I’m going to nail this I think I’m actually going to be able to do this and then like after we’re off of
The prominade boardwalk and we’re onto the like Street they have a line I think I’m well past a mile and there’s a line and it says one mile and I’m just like oh my God there is and I know I got to go three plus and I’m like there’s just
No way this is happening I’ve I have given everything I have to get to this point so I made it halfway I made it I made it just before halfway I started walking then just kept walking cuz I used up everything and then ran like the last
500 feet where’s our mental toughness I I was inducing mental toughness through that mile it was hard I’m not built for this there’s also like this weird I I feel like the same way with swimming where like older people have this ability to just get in this this gear
Where it’s actually like slower than if you walked but they can just maintain it yeah and I can’t maintain my run like I’m like in this gear I think you get that after 50 like you once you hit 50 you find that zone like I’m like watching people swim I’m like how are
You even like staying a float with how slow you’re going I don’t know how this is like possible like and but they Outlast me just buoyant I it’s literally like I’m just living the tortoise in the hair the movie of the taurise in the or
The uh the story of the taurise in the hair like that is like what old people are to me in any conditioning event like they can they’re going to catch me because I’m going to get tired and they’ve somehow they’re still so you got smoked saw Mr Meo
Running past you or just I got smoked by every old I was it was embarrassing I’m not going to lie pickle ball and 5Ks are not something I can compete with old people in we got a good tweet from you um after Fox Sports NFL uh tweeted out Jason just
Ran a 5k to raise money you said in quotes ran is a generous uh verb for it’s a wrong verb not generous it’s incorrect uh but we had a blast and I’ll tell you my time was 45 minutes the fact that you just said you did Jesus 45 minutes for three
Miles I’m telling you it was a bad I think you’re not passing you’re not passing Roxboro elementary gym class if I would have known I should have checked the route out and known exactly how far I was going cuz then I would have like stopped earlier and I could have mind
[ __ ] you it mind [ __ ] you and you were checked out after that yeah and then once I got to that level fatigue and like I was just overheated my carburetor was steaming I was well you finished strong because you ran across the Finish Well yeah you got to finish
Strong you can’t just walk across the Finish Line tell you what I’ll tell you what’s not good I don’t know why it’s reminding me of this movie uh that simbad was in as a kid I know exactly ra and then just hits a right hook into like the houses that goes and
Sees the double arches and goes gets McDonald’s in the middle of it oh my I see you just I know exactly what you’re talking about oh man it’s a good one if it was McDonald’s I might have stopped it was early no I had had a breakfast yet there’s no Mickey D’s on
The uh over there in and then uh after we ran it we went to the beach right off uh the street that our house is on and uh went in the water plunged nice did a little plunge shout out to Mike for doing this thing for what is it 19 plus
Years 15 15 yep I’m sure it’ll get to sometime yeah I mean it’s not stopping sometime next it’s not stopping anytime soon so shout out to Mike man can’t wait to get some uh that Seafood when I’m on the aisle just right now there we go
Well I had uh something that we had to take care of this past week I owed something you did not you did not have to take care of listen bet bet Bo man was this enjoyable guys there was an agreement made a packed agreed to and um
What was the pack well the pack was if the Bills beat the Chiefs in the New Heights team name competition oh okay yeah that I would have to jump through a flaming table it was time to Pony up so we uh have an outstanding video here uh where
You guys can check out how that went down it was exhilarating it’s not at all like the way the Buffalo uh bills Mafia jumps through tables this was a very safety first um I can’t wait to hear Bill’s Mafia just just look at the comments and
Just see you get torched for this why would they torch me I jumped through a torch why would they torch me you’re like bubble wrap dude you were like the safest human being to ever jump through a I thought it’ be fitting because the Steelers then knocked out
The bills so I wearing dad’s dad steel mill clothing attire AKA it it kind of makes sense and it’s safe so you were like yeah I got listen I didn’t want to catch on fire if I would have been 20 milles deep or whatever beer of choice I
Was about to say you had a few beverages huh to get the to get the nerves to calm down 20 beers deep if I would have been 20 beers deep I would have jumped through that thing with my t-shirt on but I wasn’t 20 beers de we were riding
To the firehouse and you literally said I’m going to jump from the top of the fire trck and in my head I’m like that’s I thought Le I thought that was like reason 15ot jump dude I don’t think it’s that jump from the second I think it’s
Jumping from the second floor onto a [ __ ] I think it’s 10t no way dude I got up on the top of the one truck which was shorter than the fire truck and immediately was like man I’m not worried at all about the fire started like cat out a little bit
Like let me make sure I got my bearings here cuz this is the fire was the least inting this a little too high guys what do you guys think I was like no it’s perfect yeah you trying to egg me on oh dude what I
Did not I wanted to see that that would have been electric you wanted to see me break my hip on the conrete oh tuck and roll Grandma tuck and roll dude it’s hard to tuck and roll when you’re going through a table there’s objects that are preventing you from
Rolling no that was it the fire was the least hard to figure out just wear a bunch of flame [ __ ] stuff they gave me the little uh the the firefighter Hood thing that the fire department Hood G uh deal to protect my face and then they gave me gloves so I felt very
Confident with the fire about to go skiing it was jumping through a table on concrete like if we would have done that in the middle of the snow I would have jumped off truck but hear you I looked at that and I was like dude if I had I’m
Going to break something I want to land on my butt I’m like I’ll break my tailbone if I jump from 10t in the air that’s how you break things is you get worried about it you just got to send it and athlete it man you know it I think
That’s you know this when you’re a kid you just athlete it you’re just like dude I I can jump from this garage onto this trampoline either way it happened the table broke bet is paid shout out to Bill’s Mafia it was electric I will say it was exhilarating it was and I enjoyed
I enjoyed every bit of watching you do it the buildup was hilarious the questions the safety briefing with the with the Fire Marshals oh man that was uh please if you’re going to jump through a flamy table do it safely and find your dad’s steel mill fire [ __ ] and
Stuff man that was hilarious yeah we play Buffalo next year it at Buffalo we’re going to run it back you going to I mean listen coming out of the big tree in I’m not going to say no to anybody with a flaming table I’m just letting you know that right
Now you heard it here folks all right well I hope you guys enjoyed that as much as we did let’s get some fan mentions of the week all right now um first up we have a saga of Jason and cats why will they not leave me alone
What do you mean this is Destiny they know I don’t want they know you’re getting one and they want to show you how much it makes sense uh there was a viral tweet going around of a cat with a pattern on its back that um the internet decided looks exactly like Jason Kelce
And uh now I want to see a zoomed out photo I want to see a zoomed out photo this cat and it’s not going to look like me at all you cannot it only looks like it because they cut it and they took a picture where it looks like a beard I’m
Not going to Li zoomed out it doesn’t look like me do you think they H do you think they do I think they what do do you think they they dyed it it does look weird that there’s like a white part of the cat and then there’s like this weird
Light tan you think they I think they might have I mean I don’t put anything past cat people what do you mean cat people you’re cat PE you’re you’re cat people you grew up with one you’re a cat people we had a great one gosh flash was
A [ __ ] Legend cat she was perfect the only time she bothered you is when she wanted to sleep with you yeah and she really like other than that she didn’t want you to touch her dude do not broad daylight do not try and [ __ ] play with a cat dude you would just hear
Sounds from outside at night get it like two cats fighting you knew F flash is beating the crap out of somebody yeah sorry to whoever our neighbors were I never saw flash with a scratch on her not but I heard her fighting saw dead rodents s kill a bird midair
Once I’m it’s I’m pretty positive I remember this happening I was sitting on that green couch looking out the back of the living room and I just see her looking like this I’m like what is Flash doing and that bird got a little too low
On and she jumped up and clawed at midf flight the most impressive athlete I’ve ever seen cats dude DK metf is a close second Jason Peters close second dud I’m not gonna lie I think Jason might be able to claw a bird out of midair guaranteed do you ever see
That guy catch that one bird in his hand talking about Manny job he caught man job caught a bat mid game I don’t remember this mid game oh I do remember he double handed it though right no I think he just he kind of like dude it
Was nasty okay yeah back to the cat though uh it’s got nice fur I mean it can be anybody with a beard the wayct excited about Flash it sounds like you’re getting a c the reason I don’t think this looks like me is it doesn’t have the eyebrow game is weak it’s weak
Eyebrow game want to be a kelse you got to have better eyebrows I can’t say you’re wrong you got to have that yeah you got to have them brows connecting especially ones be Jason next up a lot of a lot of the 92ers saw that uh princess cayana

Rocking Fashion Week out in Milan or do we think Kylie left Wyatt in charge I mean Wyatt’s always in charge really um always you try to not make her be in charge like I try to discipline her mmm it is it’s just hard dude it’s hard to
Reason with somebody that has no reason dude she is one of my favorite people to just people watch great she’s great yeah I love just people watching her and watching her play with Elliot is so adorable but it is yes it is 1,00% Dad gets him one of the one one of
Elliot’s birthday gifts was uh airplane guns it was like little descri little foam airplanes foam airplanes that you put on top of a gun and you basically yeah like and you when I tell you the girls were going nuts and it started off with Grandpa dad in the yard saying hey
If you guys can hit me you win like you get like a Popsicle or something like something encouraging so they were both firing on at dad and it’s sure enough it ended in dad going inside being a static that he just got the girl something that they absolutely love but then it turns
Into whoever’s in the yard is the Target right and yeah it’s it’s driving range guys out there getting the balls hey I’m not practicing on my n iron anymore I’m going right at this [ __ ] little Ellie little Elliot on her birthday runs down there to go re retrieve her planes

D boom right to the side of the head I didn’t know head to the head and I me like oh no why I said don’t do that the slow turn just smile the joy of her going straight to the Dome was like this girl this girl’s got
It she’s got it Ellie’s going to be got oh yeah Ellie’s oh Ellie was having a last she cried for about 2 seconds then was right back to shooting it oh man back to Kylie Rock so this is why Kylie did not leave me in charge of the girls

Kind of in charge no I was in a charge so you just I I was not I was not alone with the girls for more than two or three hours at any point in the weekend Grandma stayed over Kylie’s Mom thank you shout out to Lee She’s a saint the
Best I could handle Ellie and why it’s really the baby the infant that for some reason I’m just not as Adept at handling yeah I try you can’t communicate I actually just don’t wake up like I sleep that’s a Kelsey trait for sure yeah and then sometimes I actually do wake up but

Everybody and their mother signed this jersey Michael Jordan should have known rice like we just basically forged everyone’s signature and told Jason oh yeah this is cool like this is this is a great of money it was so good but we told him he had to sign it and as he’s signing it
The waitress comes in with wine to pass around and accidentally bumps into Jason pours it over Jason thinks oh she did not bump to me she just like like just like oh yeah but yeah but playing the prank Jason uh then gets accused of spilling the wine we have this video

Was that speed skater that’s Apollo are you thinking of Apollo an like antono yeah oh my God that’s [ __ ] hilarious God that’s good uh Yoko Ono oh God uh no I don’t even know the full story of Yoko Ono I know that she was with John Lenin
And that’s about the extent that I know but yeah she might have been a figure skater actually I mean who knows speed skater speed skater speed skater sorry all right well uh dude it’s a it’s a wild ride it’s a wild ride but I will tell you this Australia loved it did not
Disappoint yeah I can imagine it was amazing over there I only went to Sydney um got a lot of friends uh that I’ve uh met over the years that are out there in Melbourne definitely want to get out there and see you guys and see what Melbourne has to offer but I’ll
Tell you what Sydney was it was a beautiful city yeah the layout was very uh I want to say similar to Miami but it has a lot of inter Coastal and it was cool to see I don’t know um just the layout of the land over there let alone
The uh the zoo and seeing all the exotic animals and um the zoo it was fun man we got to get to that yeah what the zoo were there just drones above your heads at all like where did this footage come from no no there were a full-on helicopters just flying around
Helicopter yeah they helicoptered us well not us that just seems like how much yeah they don’t want they don’t this is all because Taylor’s the biggest and the best thing possible yeah of course tell you what though uh the kangaroos were pretty sweet got to got
To see a red panda up up close in personal Panda yeah that what it look like dude it looked I feel like they look like raccoons more than pandas but it looked like a friendly raccoon you know some raccoons look just [ __ ] are like they’re kind of cute in
The face but you know that they got like Claws and yeah this this little guy he was friendly was I’m not messing yeah no you’re going to you’re going to you’re going to [ __ ] with the red panda though those things were sweet yeah you don’t
Think it would attack you if you went in the cage one of my favorite things is the The Zookeeper the uh the one showing us the red panda was like we had to go in a cage just to go in to like see the panda in like a like a like the panda
Area yeah and they’re like all right now make sure that door’s closed and when you get out of here quickly close this one because they are esape artist and I was just like this thing just got so many brownie points for me dude like oh how many times this thing gotten out I’m
Just like it’s kind of got like the little raccoons it’s like a they’re sneaky individuals what dude are we just cuz raccoons are sneaky too is it anything that looks like it kind of has like a built-in mask just stealthy yeah it’s like makes sense nature naturally newe
Like I have wondered this so back to the zoo yeah I’ve never been to a zoo in another country are zoos in other countries do like do they have animals of stuff that’s in like North America like are there like white tailed deer in the Australian zoo
No no I didn’t see it everything was bald eag I don’t even know if everything like yeah I saw a crocodile which is [ __ ] way bigger than alligator I think alligators are I don’t know if they’re like only in America but there it’s like most other places is crocodile
Alligators like like unique to uh believe the US okay thank God because that thing was enormous Sal water Croc yeah they get pretty big big and it looked orang a living dinosaur what um did you it’s like a moose or a bear like grizzly bear I didn’t see anything they
Just had their own animals what’s the point of going to the zoo if they just got no they had some uh you go see kangaroos they had some animals from Asia the uh two elephants that I saw just got out there I think in 2019 they
Were from Africa all right so they got the elephants yeah giraffes didn’t see giraffes I think the zoo was rather was a little bit more new than uh the big like Steve wind Zoo out there so they’re they’re just now starting to get some uh
A lot of yeah but saw a tiger sitting up in a treehouse that [ __ ] was [ __ ] sweet I ain’t going to lie it’s a treehouse yeah saw [ __ ] saw a lion up close I saw that photo dude what that feel like that when you hear that cuz I would like Tay taking a
Picture just just like oh my gosh yeah let alone one you see three of them like run down from like their like Rock perch like knowing that they’re about to get fed Pride Rock you see how fast and agile that thing is yeah dude dude it’s over I’m not messing with cats
Don’t matter what size you could tell one was like the the big bad I was just like damn yeah that’s a badad animal that’s a that’s a bad man right there well that’s pretty cool yeah it was fun that was a fun one and then uh and then
We got to enjoy the uh the Taylor Swift show do you feed any of the animals yeah I was just telling you we fed a red panda um some uh what are those little the the big the enormous sized hamsters starts with a C koala is not a SE definitely fed some
Uh koala some eucalyptus leaves yeah kiar yeah oh yeah kab baras the things were like they had like like literally the teeth yeah the teeth were like the size of my fingers just like right here in yeah it’s like a little rodent over rodent it it was enormous and it was
Crazy how like heavy it was and how athletic it was for sure do you think Winnie could have taken it no dude those things were vicious I bet win would [ __ ] that thing up the things were quick dude it’s more athletic no chance all right dingo yeah we fed some dingos nice at
Least I think they were dingos emu never no I saw one ostrich yeah I saw one she an emu or an ostrich which one I think it was an emu I honestly what’s the like ostrich are just bigger than emu but they kind of look similar right yeah got
Them wangs but they they ain’t going nowhere a little heavy to get up in the air yeah yeah what else did I feed uh the eucalyptus sleeves to the koalas mm they were uh they weren’t doing anything they were just chilling it’s what koalas do they just
Chill do you do you smell the koala’s breath does it just smell like eucalyptus at all times I didn’t smell anything no it just smelled like a zoo the entire time so like [ __ ] yeah I was uh petting a rhino you pet a rhino how is that not the [ __ ] thing you lead
With it’s a good point what did it feel like it felt terrifying yeah to be even in the same pen did it feel like a like a leather like jacket or was this like just got done running around in mud like me petting it was like me like putting
My hand on a like plastered wall just dude that thing was Rock Solid yeah it’s an impressive animal yeah no and it was jumping around and stuff it was real playful so they’re like all right you got to watch out it’s real playful right
Now I’m just like what so I got to I got to catch it in like an even day yeah was it a you can’t be too happy can’t be too mad just kind of well I feel I mean they’re just got to watch out for the horn or dud those
Things are Majestic man yeah it’s a big animal it’s a pretty it’s cool thing is you could tell how heavy that thing is and how it could just [ __ ] you up you just s side step it though it’s probably not very agile I tell you that thing is
Agile oh yeah quick too all right yeah you also went to a a Taylor Sydney show I did and Sydney did not disappoint I’m pretty sure the crowds over there are as well they’re they’re already Rowdy group right the Australians are pretty Rowdy they like
To have a good time yeah I like to have a good time gosh they were just like a little bit louder than the Argentinian crowd okay and I was not expecting that because Argentina was [ __ ] loud and they were they were into it and and so was Sydney so Taylor’s very fond of
Performing in Australia because of uh the crowds over there and how how into it they get so awesome shout out to Australia for showing up showing out all right now one of the things that everybody uh liked to point out was you’re in Ross’s attire did you plan out
To look like and we came down we I came uh I came downstairs from the hotel and I saw him and I was like God damn it you knew you were going to get the blue immediately no I had my outfit on he had his outfit on we were going to the car
At like great on time yeah they’re like can’t change now and we were just like we’re just going to have to eat this one eat what you guys look F they look very Australian we look we look like you and marshmallow at the Chiefs Afterparty you feel like you look choreographed like
It’s like it was planned and it wasn’t planned it wasn’t is a tremendous show so shout out to Blue there were there were there were a bunch of uh of other ones that were pretty good the M&M’s was uh pretty good yeah yeah that was pretty
Good well it also looked like there were a lot of Travis kely jerseys among the fans out there in Sydney there was a few there’s a few there’s a good there’s a good American football crowd out there and I think just like Taylor Taylor fans so they wanted to show their support
Have you uh how do you feel about your jersey being worn all over the uh ays tour it’s pretty [ __ ] cool to just have your jersey being worn like even if it’s just on a day or had a football game I only asked it because it’s in
This clip I I don’t care right now I guarantee there’s people out in Philly right now wearing your jersey guarantee it well I just retired yesterday yeah well every day is a Jason Kel day in Philadelphia now okay then after Australia you went back to Vegas to continue celebrating your Super Bowl
Championship all right now why back to Vegas you guys haven’t had enough of Vegas yet no and we had been this had been something that we talked about as a team like oh man when we win in Vegas we’re going to go back and like have a
Good time do it right yeah hit the hit the casino Gamble and go to the casino cuz we couldn’t we couldn’t do any of that those of you that don’t know the NFL doesn’t allow you on uh when you’re didn’t when you’re going for the Super
Bowl they said no casinos when yeah but even if we’re just playing the Raiders in a regular week if you’re there on business for the NFL you can’t gamble or do anything fun in Vegas and essentially we wanted we wanted to have some fun so
We went back as a team they made some world championship belts um I got all the WWE ones but this one was pretty cool uh hosting the uh or hoisting yeah hoisting the the belt the world uh boxing championship oh that’s cool yeah
Who had that on them um I did yeah I did because I’m the World Champ I don’t care what is this an actual anybody says about it just being an American sport or America it I am the World Champ until there’s another uh you know football team uh that
Can even like uh remotely compete with an NFL team I don’t think that uh it’s a it’s a competition yeah I’m with you either way that was pretty cool uh I’m the world champion the always uh sitting on my couch with sandal because Nobody
Does it Better we got to get this man a belt we got to get him a belt somebody make him a sandal belt yeah so we went back had some fun uh we had been talking about doing it all year if we if we got
A chance to to win the Super Bowl again and uh sure enough those memories you get of the aftermath with the guys is um stuff remember for the me for the rest of my life man I think um you’ve done it but the teams are never the same and even when you repeat
It’s it’s and even to this day you know a handful of decisions have been made with the Chiefs and uh a few guys aren’t with us and um I wanted to make sure that I got every chance to enjoy this with those guys immediately afterwards and I was um it was definitely well
Worth it man it was definitely well worth it we had a blast had some fun and then I uh then I went to California and got caught uh going to noou at the same time as Christian mcaffrey yeah you guys said dinner together no we didn’t but if
I would have known that him and oliv were there I would have sent over a drink or at least came over and said congrats on an unbelievable season got so much respect for that guy and obviously all the all the 49ers that we played and um yeah if I would have knew
He was there I would have definitely said hello but I didn’t see that he was there and sure enough TMZ is throwing it out there that it’s remarkable it really is there’s such a rush to get things out there they’re enjoying us even saying that it wasn’t yeah it’s they’re enjoy
It’s attention to them and they just love attention list Kylie apparently is pregnant with our fourth child it’s a boy what no way no it’s it’s Kylie you in this madeup universe thank you you guys made you guys made a baby in Milan that’s right if she got pregnant in
Milan we got some things to answer here um that photo of me Zack Alan AIS from The Hangover like it’s crazy there was like a three-year-old video Wyatt before game this year the announcer made it seem like she was playing Center and I’m like she was
Reacting to the combine like what do we like people just will say anything anything that gets them likes or clicks and people don’t vet anything throw it out there it’s [ __ ] ridiculous so don’t believe everything you’re reading especially especially on what I got going on apparently leaving the

Is a record just one of those well Eagles record records are records dude um it’s not a world record and a Super Bowl champion with the Philadelphia Eagles you have officially decided to hang them up dude yeah um and we couldn’t be more proud of you man but
Thanks D we got to talk about it let’s do it the retirement speech was one for the ages ladies and gentlemen if you haven’t seen it um grab a box of Kleenex before you do it um the guy poured his hearts out poured his heart out as he
Does uh every single time talking about the things that he loves and um just the uh it was beautiful to see how grateful you are how the memories that you uh that you’ve gathered over the years with the people that uh that have gotten you to this point in your life
And it was uh it was well said man it was it was a beautiful thing it’s been less than 24 hours since you’ve made the announcement but um how does it finally feel that it’s out there does it feel relieved or yeah I think you you know
It’s been a long time coming you know obviously I’ve debated retiring for the last few seasons um so I think it’s uh you know it got to the point where you know I knew that that’s what I wanted to do and it was nerve-wracking getting to that
Day um but a lot of the things that I said and um and kind of uh you know shared are things that I wanted to share for a long time and you wait for the moment where it feels right to do it um a lot of those things were notes that
I’ve compiled throughout my career I like take notes on my phone so just kind of like PL idea I need to start it it felt good to to finally get it out there in some ways in other ways it’s you know it’s still hard and it’s and it
Hurts didn’t look easy um it’s weird it’s not like it’s easy or hard to say it it’s more just like hard to like come to grips with like the finality of it but um yeah I was hoping I had said it enough times that I wouldn’t cry as much
As I did I think it’s good to show emotion through it but I mean I couldn’t I was sobbing before I even started so I was defit set the tone you set the tone for definitely the entire family let alone everyone listening especially the beginning portion of it got broken up a
Lot but obviously um you know proud of all the people that were there and um you know what they’ve meant to me and wanted to share that and you know yeah who helped you the most in in deciding all this man in deciding whether to keep
Playing or not yeah what was the big what was the biggest influence helping you me you know and and I think that’s how I knew like in previous years like I would reach out to other guys like Hey how do you know when you want to stop
Playing or you know stop what do you think and the reality was I you know it was more firm than it’s ever been this year that I just don’t think physically I can compete at the level that I want to anymore um and the Really compete the way I want to
Um you know my elbow and little my knees um it’s just gotten to the point where the deterioration and the recovery from that deterioration is hasn’t really manifested on game day yet but I know it’s going to start doing that and I’d rather um I’d really I’d really rather
Not I’m hard on myself and if I go out there and I’m not the player that I want to be yeah uh it’ll crush me so um I feel very confident in the decision I’ve made um I know that it’s time uh I’ve had a really good run and uh but you
Know that’s the biggest reason why was everybody in the in the facility leading up to this moment like dude don’t do it do I think everybody knows people people want on some level people want me to stay there was it like wolf on Wall Street like dude he’s not going to
Really do it is he I don’t know I think uh I think at the end of the day everybody just wants you know what I want at this point and I think you know people still want me to play if I want to but if you don’t want to you
Shouldn’t do it and you know the reality is I don’t I don’t want to do that anymore and um sure there’s parts of me that want to like there’ll always be parts of me that want to go out on game day and play and want to compete and um
Want to be there with your teammates like that stuff will never go away but just the the the the physical portion is at a point that it’s it’s not a desire to continue to do and not something I think I can do and be happy about it so
Yeah it’s over and um and that’s good you know I think it’s certainly uh terrifying in some ways because you know I’ve only really played football my whole life yeah so we got to try and figure something else out luckily this podcast and all of our fans and everybody have there’s some
Opportunities now and that and that’s great um that’s a but at the end of the day it’s still a new chapter um um I’m incredibly excited about what could happen and also uh nervous about you know what life is going to look like now walk us through that outfit of choice
Yeah was that your press conference outfit is that like you you you wanted to go into that thing yeah so you start I guess I start out the day that’s the first choice you got to make you know you’re like all right what am I going to
Wear to this thing who am I going to dress up as it’s like suit and tie is what most people wear and I’m like that wouldn’t feel right like I don’t think you know for me I don’t think it’s not a wedding you know only time I’ve ever seen you wear suit
And tie I’m wear a suit and tie when I have to and that’s about it and I’m trying I’m walking through like okay do I wear like a Cleveland Heights shirt do I wear Like an Eagle shirt I open one of the drawers and this is like a shirt
That has holes in it and I’ve worn and practiced and and did every year I’ve lifted weights in it yeah um and I’m like you know what this shirt in some ways was a part of this journey with me more than anything else in this closet so wear this then we got there
And uh you know a lot of people don’t know this but my trainer one of the trainers to the Eagles has been battling cancer all season long and he’s been there my entire career too Joe appella and um shout out Joe thankfully he’s in remission they don’t have any signs of
It yeah Joe they’re still gon to I think do an operation to you know really make sure but um he’s looking good but he wasn’t able to tape me for any of the games this year and he’s tap my ankles my whole career so he taped my ankles
For the press conference One Last Time nice man so I had ankle tape on with sandals so yeah that was what went into I guess the attire nice yeah well shout out Joe we’ll see you at se dude yeah well I’ll see you for he hasn’t drank at
All he he’s he’s gone completely vegan cut out alcohol completely to try and you know really give his body the best chance of fighting it off with chemo and everything and it’s worked but uh he’s finally he’s asked the doctor like can he have a beer year on St Patrick’s Day
And they’re like there’s no evidence to say that you can’t so nice we’re going to enjoy some some beverages for St Patrick’s Day have a nice look yeah just just one just one beard never hurt anybody or two well the speech was uh was unbelievable as good of a football
Player you are man you a professional speaker is I mean it’s got to be in the next line of work whether it’s here on the podcast or you running for president whichever one you want to do I’m sure you can you can do well yeah it’s easy
I think it’s really easy to give speeches when you are just reciting what you lived and What You’ve experienced I don’t know that I can you know go up in front of a corporation and give a speech about that you know I mean for me to just recant all the people
That have been really meaningful in my life and all the experien I’ve had with my teammates in the city yeah like I’m just reciting history so to me it’s it makes it easier and I felt the same way about the parade spee Beach like I didn’t say anything up there that wasn’t
Like I didn’t make anything up it was all out there so that’s what makes it easy like to come up with like something off the cuff that I think it would be a lot harder so this one was easy to write i’ had already written it for like 13
Years like I said I take notes I wake up at times and had these thoughts on my head and just jot them down really the only thing I had to do is figure out the order when I’m putting everything did you you did that was it
Just you or did you have any so I read the first draft to Brett strosacker he works in our media Department with the Eagles well actually I read the first draft to Kylie and then I read the first draft to Brett and both of them had like
Oh you should you put this person in there should you put that person like I didn’t you know I don’t know if you should make a big dick Nick joke I’m like [ __ ] you and dude it was so good I text Nick to make sure he was
Okay with it and he was like he of course he was like like yeah you tell everybody but the surprising one was when he said I asked Tori and Tori his wife and Tori gave the okay that was the surprising part I was like okay all right Tori thanks
Tor everyone enjoyed it a lot of people are saying it was their favorite part of it yeah so I think you kind of you know you start with a framework I decide to go chronologically for the most part and save the most meaningful people and stories and messages for the ending
Portion we all reciting some memor of the most uh impactful things that happened throughout my career so kind of settled into that framework and then you know rewrote it a few times changed things up added things here and there I think the the section on you with
Like was like I changed that day of like hey I’m trying to think like I got to say more about like growing up with traff like what what else and I’m like oh yeah like playing in the backyard like you know playing we played multiple Super Bowls before we ever left the
House like you know we we envisioned ourselves being Jim Tomy Carlos bayera like uh you know I think you so that stuff kind of went in last second I still I’m trying to be Carlos Bayer yeah I mean he was a k LOF you name it D that whole Guardians every if
You were a sports figure in Cleveland we imagined our the 90s Indians were were huge though that those were the teams in Cleveland the Browns left in the ’90s so even have a football team yeah just became a fan of the game drone Bettis was my guy bus I was a
Far guy Drome Bettis and Mike allot were and then Brian ER lacer Ray Lewis you were who I was five yeah huge I thought I had a cannon like him too man D gun you did you could th no you could thr it before you tore your lb
Room you could you could chuck that thing now that we got some more time you is there anybody that you want to give a shout out out to they you just I don’t even want to do that I don’t want to do that right now because
There’s going to be people I’m going to leave off if I’m just randomly ripping that out the top of my head delete that yeah no listen I you know there’s a lot of people I want to thank um teammates and like so many people have reached out
Since yesterday so cool to see I have text nobody back because it’s it’s a lot a boy I’m dreading having to try and get through all these at the same time I’m excited because there’s a lot of meaningful people that have texted me and reached out listen this is why
Football is so special um you know unlike any other sport especially offensive line like this is what’s crazy I am a center like I make no plays on my own my job is just to facilitate an environment where other guys can make plays and um you know I’m still being celebrated and
Talked about on a level and I think that’s awesome for the other guys that play my position and and for the other kids that play offensive line like it’s large usually been in unheralded position for a long time um and in some ways I think the offensive line
Symbolizes the the sport better than anything else you know there’s we’re all ultimately relying on the guys next to us and the coach and what they’re calling and you know the the the systems you’re running physicality of the game it’s such a dependent game there’s be
There’d be too many people to than and try and hit by listing off you know all of my teammates and coaches and people in the building and you know T Roy our janitor you know I mean Tony like I mean it’s it’s ridiculous and um so you know
Tried to limit it to really just like the people that for sure made like a very pointed impact um and then of of course the the head figures at each level you know that’s the beauty of football it’s the the most complete Team game that there is ever yeah um in my
Mind and man we love teaming up well I um we did not talk about much of your retirement and I I wanted to make sure that you you didn’t feel any pressure from me to keep going knowing I I wanted you to keep going I wanted you to keep playing
This G you why didn’t you tell me this I would have changed my mind no no no I didn’t I you’ve uh you’ve always been a step ahead of me in um in this game yeah but it’s in this game alone you’ve always been a step ahead of me and it’s always
Been like I’ve had that flotation device right there and um it’s uh to have uh to have you out of it man it feels uh it feels empty and it definitely um it feels like it’s a um it’s complete you know it’s uh it was a success I hear
You yeah was that it was a fun ass journey to watch and uh and like I said yesterday man I just appreciate you showing me the way and uh bringing us all along the journey with you big guy we we showed each other the way um I think it’s I appreciate it
Listen I’m out of playing but I’m still going to be you know I’m still going to the games like I said you I’ve been you know you you’ve been playing for a long time on your own and and I look forward to being able to appreciate and watch
Your games more and um take in the bigger picture of football and everything that it has to offer um while still remaining local in Philadelphia like I’ll never not be there but um definitely looking forward to I don’t know it’s it’s a different chapter and in some ways I’ll be able to experience
More things and do um things that I’ve never done before which is exciting well it was just uh it was cool being being uh being the tag team of the National Football Le pretty cool [ __ ] um yeah I didn’t talk to you about it um
I let you kind of do your own thing and I um I could have been more proud listening to you yesterday and it’s just um it’s been U it’s been a lot of uh lot of emotions a lot of sad emotions a lot of exciting emotions I mean you got the
You got the [ __ ] world in in your palm right now dude and um you got three little ones that I know you’re you’re dying to watch grow up and oh yeah it’s uh it’s just a a lot of a lot of uh a lot of future excit exciting future
Things that we have to look forward to absolutely and um yeah it’s uh yeah so back to the speech um can I yeah can I see the kleenex real quick so I can just over I’m sorry I would be crying more but I wasted all of
My Tears yeah but you know I got plenty of those I’ll probably break down here at some point you hit the intensity of the Philly fans man and it was awesome you uh you hit it spot on you’ve been spot on with it your entire career um here in
Uh here in Bernstein Jason your guy tell you that Philly is an awesome City you’re going to love it um you embodied that place um before you even knew you embodied it and uh your toughness your your desire for for excellence your your dve to be the best and not settle for
Anything other than that the way you talked about the Philly fan base was so spoton and it just um man it honestly being here in Philly I for the past 13 years I feel like I’ve become a part of this Sports town so random um I was a
Huge Flyers fan growing up uh because of Eric Lindros and John lir and um for you to come in here and become um Idols like that for kids uh has been pretty PR damn cool did you always want to make uh the announcement alongside the the Eagles
Organization was that kind of like in your mind to like stay a Philadelphia Eagle your entire career or well yeah you want to I mean I’ve been very blessed to have that opportunity I even talked about in the speech that almost didn’t happen right like there’s so many
Things that need to go right for you to stay in one spot you know the organization has to want you financially it has to work out and then you got to want to continue to play in the same spot and I think it’s really hard to do in any sport in
In today’s age like it just it’s very rare that both of those sides and the financial thing line up for your whole career yeah so it was a goal you know I talked about it you know we saw everybody leav in Cleveland did Big Z ever play anywhere else that’s the
Only guy that I think junis so junis might have been the only one he’s the only one you know it’s not like listen I still love Jim Tomy I love Manny and all the guys that played in Cleveland but it’s you know it’s it there’s something that happens when when somebody leaves
That I think is especially as a kid you it’s it’s awkward or different W wrapping your head around it and um you know I’ve been very lucky and fortunate to stay in Philadelphia and it was certainly a goal and I’m happy that it happened was there any other way that
You were going to do this announcement like were you going to like jump in through the table were you just about to like all right I’m done and then just like jump on the burning table did it ever cross your mind you’re going to do
It any other way no I think did I wanted to do it uh at the facility in a press conference with people in the organization there I think that that felt right there’s too too many of those people that were a part of it just as
Much as I was so yeah yeah that was the only way I ever envisioned it well you uh you talked about some of your favorite moments in your speech obviously and you had some great shout outs to the the 879 your speech uh coach serani sending you the Kegs and uh of
Course Nikki Foles in the Philly special did you ever um do you think that any other retirement speech past or present will ever mention a teammate’s shalong how should we put this Hammer sausage um I mean I hope not I hope it doesn’t become like common place that everybody’s just referencing
Who’s got the biggest day how can I thank him it’s just so legendary I felt like it like it needed to be a part of it yeah dude it was so perfect because it was obviously it was very emotional you do a great job of keeping light and
Fun and yeah you that was such a good [ __ ] mix in some moments where people can have a laugh here and there got to yeah I mean listen that was a iconic moment of the Super Bowl and you know Nick and Doug together somehow decided
To call it trick play on fourth down and um it ended up being you know one of the biggest plays in football history at this point so yeah that had to be in there it was in there I didn’t it wasn’t as colorful at first and I was like you
Know what screw this let’s full Jason Kel style the only way to do it come I think there was I don’t want to say a little bit of Doubt but there was a little bit of question of whether or not you would get or transpire in the league as
You did in college like become as successful in the NFL as everyone you know there’s that question for everybody when I saw you taking Snaps with Michael Vic yeah man that that like that put you in Heroes world for me kind of like di down and like dim the
Lights on like the stars that we imagine growing up that Holy Smokes like they’re in the NFL yeah you made it more achievable for a guy like me knowing that we come from the same place we’re at the same school there’s questions but at the same time you’re still performing
Even with the best that do it in the National Football League that we look at as Gods because they’re the best to ever do it everybody ask like when did you know you were going to play in the NFL and that’s when it becomes reality is
When you see people you know like you had me because I was older but I had you know Trevor Canfield Barry Coffield uh you know uh like you Marty Gillard Haruki Nakamura like you you see these guys you practice with every day start to play in the league and you’re
Like hey you know I competed with you know these guys in practice every day and now they’re getting a chance so then it becomes a reality that you’re going to get an opportunity and I you know I still remember the first time I snapped it to Mike the first two quarterbacks I
Snapped to are Michael Vic and Vince Young like two absolute freaking Legends it might have been Mike kfka too not as much of a legend love cfis Mike um way you get in there yeah it was incredible it was it was you know it was that was
The first moment where you’re like holy [ __ ] I’m snapping the ball to The Human Highlight re what is happening right now the experience this this changed quick and it was really quick because my first year was the lockout year oh yeah so you didn’t get had no offseason all offseason you had
To be away from the club and they lifted it for like a couple weeks for like the first either day or two day guys that were drafted but any third third uh Third Day guy or undrafted guy like I showed up I don’t the like a couple days
Before training camp started and I got the Playbook then and I met those guys for the first time at training camp and then I’m snapping it to him I’m like what the heck is going on right now this is crazy Lehigh Valley yeah was a me I I’ll
Remember that day forever man I I was running around UC showing the picture cuz that’s all I had was a picture of it I didn’t obiously no video of it or anything Sant Samuels like revving up the crowd because there’s a bunch of people that was free to come and like uh
The first time I hit a sled and this is what was cool about Lehi which you know it the dorm sucked you guys still go off campus but we stopped that a long time ago but I mean the first time I ever hit a sled it was like you know dude’s
Drinking beer right behind me like cheering me on I’m like this is way different than Cincinnati like over there the we had like pig people yeah it was it was cool Stout was a major major part of your speech uh you quoted them a few times uh Thrice if I remember
Correctly and of course ending with the hungry dogs run baby I’m still hungry I can’t run fast anymore that’s the problem I don’t know dude I’m a porch dog now like that basset pound just freaking letting know letting everybody know when someone’s coming that’s right you still
Got some bark but not a lot of bite yeah obviously you talked to him a lot throughout this entire uh entire uh retirement um question even before this year um are there any other uh like did you talk to him after and just have any actual closure I know I know what he
Meant to your career we’ve talked about Stout and I have talked about I mean we’ve we’ve shared you know fears and words at the end of the last four seasons cuz we didn’t know if it was going to be over or not yeah so I think
It’s you know we’ve talked about a lot of this stuff already it’s the first time we’ve really talked publicly about a lot of it and to be clear like I Harbor no like you like I said in the speech I would have gotten rid of me too in 2016
Like I played really bad to start the season and I don’t know that there was enough good tape at the end of the season to Warrant uh keeping me in the future mhm I think Stout really firmly believed that I still had enough strengths and upside and he really
Firmly believe if I stopped putting my hands up high on these big fat [ __ ] defensive tackles that I would stop getting pushed back and sure enough he was right um you know early in your care yeah and like early in your career especially before my sport turnia
Surgery that was a big turning point for me because you lose a little bit of strength when you have that surgery I think yeah and you know early in my career I was under size but I was very very strong and I could get away with
Musling guys who were bigger than me and uh after that surgery and then after we went away from the tempo offense so the big guys weren’t as Gass all the time yeah things that I was doing that weren’t good technique but getting away with caught up and they
Caught up quick yeah that makes sense and I think Stout really saw that he was like dude I don’t care if you’re 400 lb if your hands are up here you’re going to get thrown into the quarterback right get your hands up under him you know play with leverage right take them off
The ground and if you play with leverage you can survive in this league at the weight you’re at like that’s not the issue right you have the hips and the strength to Anchor at an undersiz as long as you use you know physics so it’s um you know he he really
Firmly believed that and we saw a trans it wasn’t like all offseason it was unique like we started that transition in the season and it got corrected at the end of the season like we played Baltimore and Baltimore I mean huge defensive tackles big
Guys yeah it was one of my best games of the season so you can survive uh with proper technique and things and a lighter weight and I think um there was questions from anybody who isn’t as involved on that because they’re like you know they can’t guarantee I’m going
To fix this but I think Stout saw the corrections happening and there was still the upside of my athleticism and downfield blocking and all the things he wanted to utilize as well and you know my ability to make calls and do all that stuff like that’s a big part of the game
That he didn’t want to lose he was the pivotal guy that really convinced people I think to not move on um and credit to them for trusting him you know what I mean like listen that’s a big amount of Faith to put in a position coach like you know there’s other there’s head
Coaches there’s GMS there’s Scouts every Scouts it’s like all these people are like man you know it’s I guess we can trust out for another year yeah and luckily it it it worked out for everybody involved hell yeah dude and we’ve all had her ups and downs I mean
Mentioned in Howe was you know he was in the other side of the closet that one year like uh you know Stout has had his ups and downs and you know that’s what you know life is that’s what the NFL is there’s going to be these down times you
Guys saw that this year firsthand you know halfway through the season nobody thought you guys were winning another Super Bowl and you guys had the fortitude to stick with it and Eagles are dealing with that right now one of the things that I’m like very much
Like I don’t like the one thing that I’m disappointed about retiring right now is I’m retiring when the Eagles had potentially the biggest collapse in the history of the organization not potentially probably the most and the reason I say that I’m upset about that is I really truly think the Eagles are
Going to ball out next year I I think all of those guys there’s still a tremendous amount of talent there they’ve hired two really good coaches that are going to be able to offer A New Perspective and look at things with a fresh lens I think Jaylen Herz is a
Tremendous quarterback I know it wasn’t a good end of the year for him or for anybody on offense yeah there’s no doubt in that but there’s still so many pieces there’s plenty of cap space I know how he’s going to make some moves to improve the things that need to get fixed he
Always does you know I’m I just really think there’s going to be one hell of a bounceback from the Philadelphia Eagles next year and it really pains me that you know I’ll be a part of it in some way like I’m still going to go down the
Facilities I’m still going to help out in any way I can uh but I’m also going to be doing other things and I’m not a I’m not gonna be on the field doing it with those guys but I can damn sure at least appreciate it from afar I like
That is one thing I’m really um upset about the timing of but it is what it is it’s just just you know I have to enjoy it in a different way yeah well those uh yeah well Stout had an amazing thing to he threw out on the uh the Twitter X
Um Jason some of my finest coaching moments have been by your side these past 11 years I’m so proud of the player you’ve worked to become and the Legacy you’ve built I’ll I’ll miss having you by my side um it’s been an honor and I congratulate you and all on the
Incredible career man and um it was was cool just hearing him yeah uh last night at uh at the dinner and hearing him say you know how how happy he was that uh that you’re in a good place and that you’re you’re you’re there for it and
Man um just got so much respect for that guy um do you have any stou isms and we’ve been talking about we’ve been talking about this I mean we we heard three quotes we got to get these St we got to get you lane Jordan to just and
Even bring bring in JP JP’s probably got some good stou isms yeah I mean if you ask enough guys they’d all remember you know enough of them yeah and some of them are just so like off the cuff and they’re hilarious in the moment I can’t don’t even know if I’ll
Say it but like he has this one thing that he well he has a bunch of like you know there’s you know I said the three like no man is an I MA strs from others hungry dogs run faster um you know uh often times the easy way is the wrong
Way that’s like pound and salid up a fat lady’s ass when it’s a a hard Run play to run into a good defense I don’t know why that makes sense but it kind of does not the most politically correct at all times um an absolute gem uh there’s a
Lot of other ones that are more politically correct but I can’t think of them right now those ones stick out really hard you know Lobster Lobster man if you’re like using your hands if you’re just like laying them on top like they’re like claws like you know I I’ll
Yeah I’ll have to start jotting down some of the ones it’s like I don’t know him from Adam’s house cat who the [ __ ] is Adam’s house cat like what are you talking about dude you know he’s got he’s got so many just like off the- wall
He’s a fresh baby dude it it is tremendous fresh no doubt well uh shout out to Stout appreciate you always having my guys back man let’s get into what’s next is a retirement edition of we got to ask but you don’t got to answer all right mhm first things first
Did you finally get rid of or clean out that [ __ ] Locker I mean somebody did they cleaned it up for you that’s when you’re done playing they just threw it in a U-Haul and it’s like hey it’s down at the uh storage unit when you get done uh playing they move
That stuff quick they got to make room so the locker is for the most part cleaned out I didn’t actually didn’t go and check it if everything got moved out of there yet but um it is definitely clean they can finally clean the carpeting underneath all the boxes and
Stuff that was piling up there was still a bunch of jerseys and ow so many guys jerseys I’m ter we’ve talked about that before like I got to send out probably like I mean probably over 20 jerseys to guys that I own to dude I owe the entire
Uh Patriots tight end unit Jersey all three of them Brown Henry maybe that’s my next I still I love you guys I’m still I promise you I’m gonna get them out I’m gonna get them out yeah obviously you don’t know exactly what you’re doing uh over the offseason other
Than uh becoming a full-time cattle farmer in Missouri full um do you know how how you’re going to spend some of this time coming up this offseason or I don’t you know I think um I’m trying to figure out what I’m going to do um during the season whether that’s tou
Yeah get ahead on that yeah well you know obviously I’m not going to be a full-time coach but is there a level that I can help out the team still or help out uh young guys whatever figure out if there’s a role there coach Kels you just need to stopwatch stop watching
A whistle dude an advisor I can see it shirt already tucked in I am a tucked in shirt guy I don’t know why but feels right um I look forward to doing stuff that’s not football like I’ve done I’ve been so committed to the sport for so
Long 36 years I you you really like it’s embarrassing when your wife knows how to do more housework around the like like I can’t she her dad’s an electrician she can fish wires Kylie can fish wires and like Jason you don’t know how to you
Know how to fish a wire yes when did you ever fish a wire um when I was connecting my uh speakers that Aunt Judy gave me started cutting and tying really yeah no I’m talking about like in walls no yeah this is never done that that’s what I’m talking about like she’s like
She could like put in a new outlet if she wanted to it’s probably a step ahead of what Happ yeah exactly got it um so yeah I don’t shout out to Kai for being the handyman around the house I like experiencing new things and you know
I’ve always wanted like I I like to show for and fire I want to go to a blacksmith and make a freaking knife I think that’d be that’d be fun count me in on that one don’t do that without me you want to go I want to make a sword
Yeah well a sword is a whole another undertaken I don’t know that we’re good enough to just go in there and make a sword we can samurai sword you make some metal hot enough you can you can you can pound it into an edge a samurai sword you want to go
Straight to like the most complex like I want a fruit ninja in real life let’s go do it all right all right you grow the fruit I’ll get the samurai is there a player you’re glad that you’ll never line up against ever again mine was JJ Watt when he retired I
Was like thank God that guy’s out of here [ __ ] by the way JJ hit us and was like dude we got to get on the ice I want to go and I saw him out there on the ice and it looked electric yeah he was doing I saw some he was doing some
One-timers dude yeah it was good ironically I reached out to a guy that’s given Wyatt skating lessons before and I think I’m going to get out with him Wyatt and Elliot out on the ice nice get him get him going early we’re about we’re about Wyatt’s age you you might
Have been I I didn’t start skating until I was like seven or eight I started a little bit later than what you would ideally want a kid to start at I tried to get her out earlier she was like two and a half when I first got her out
There too early she was not [ __ ] with her she was terrified and yeah so was I just got to I think it’ll help that I can go out with her now too though like I’m going to go out on the ice and I think if Dad’s out there with them cuz
It was the same thing like gymnastics like gymnastics you want nothing to do with the trampoline and the moment like Kylie and I are there with her like then she’s into it but yeah yeah nice so no player that you’re like I mean Aaron Donald I guess like but I didn’t really
Line up against Aaron that much like I don’t like I don’t I there were players that were hard to line up against but often times those are the guys that you liked playing against the most like I hear you biggest challenge yeah well it was just like you know it
Was it meant a little bit more I mean there’s guys that kick my ass for sure but um you know that doesn’t mean that I didn’t like trying to beat him just what I had to do yeah exactly like you know it’s it it sucked losing
Some of the Reps but you know when you won the ones it meant that much more did you give any advice to cam cam Jurgens I mean think he’s he’s a pro pro he’s a Pros pro at this point right yeah he’s going into his third year and I’m you
Know listen he’s a he’s a friend and a teammate he always will be so I’ll always be able to offer advice yeah um and talk to him I think you know he is going to be an incredible Center I really do I think he was great for at G
Guard Force last year um his traits are going to be uh very very well used at that position with Jeff Stalin in particular I don’t think you know as much as sometimes you know some part of me like it’d be nice if there was a drop
Off of the position it’s like yeah that was really it’s not gonna happen it’s G he’s gonna step in and do great they got to figure out guard um and you know they drafted Steen last year Su a I don’t I don’t know how some of these free agents
And contracts are going to shape up or who is or who isn’t you you have sua Jack Driscoll um you know there’s there’s a bunch of guys that could do it I’m sure they’ll bring in new players or already have yeah there’s still the draft to come up so we’ll see who ends
Up claiming that Right Guard spot but the line is in very very good shape um that’s just the reality of it and Cam’s going to be a tremendous Center um and you know barring anything happening he’ll he’ll be good for a while for the Philadelphia Eagles yeah can wait to see
Cam step into the role man yeah um on the list of your career achievements though I mean where does this one rank the Eagles um misspelled your name when you got drafted on Twitter did you know this um no yeah they um when they announced the Tweet of you getting
Drafted the Eagles # Eagles uh select Jason Kelce hey L SE y from Cincinnati with the 191st pick um completely botched your name and now you’re the greatest player to ever play in in in the Eagles uniform how yeah where’s that at they they know how to spell your name at
Least now it’s probably going to be on the stadium at some point I I firmly I firmly like that most of my career had to be earned and I mean this I it is crazy how over I’m overrated I am shut the fu dude listen to me dude you’re so
Ridiculous I’m not even close to the best Eagle in my time with the Philadelphia Eagles like Fletcher Cox Jason Peters Lane Johnson away from any of them dude just listen to me for a second there are so many people that have meant more to wins and losses and
Have been better players maybe in the stat book not just the stat book like I couldn’t Block Fletcher Cox one-on-one like it’s a legitimate thing so it’s um that’s fair but I do know that the the credit that I’ve gotten has been because of the work that’s been put
In and um you know they didn’t know how to spell my name back then but they know how to spell it now and um I like the fact that they didn’t know how to spell it back then yeah all right so it’s up there sweet you had a great joke in your
Speech calling Darren sprouls 48 spr sprouls reached out to me yeah he did he he reached out he’s a godamn it Kel we love sprouls man man he’s 5’6 just for those of you it’s a roster height yeah Mighty might he’s the best electric Human Highlight real man and uh
Hypothetical a team calls you only wants you to come in on fourth one and run the tush push would you sign that contract I no I wouldn’t do that but there was there was a piece one play you’re like [ __ ] thank God I don’t got to run
That again there is there was the idea of like hey do I just like CU I could probably still play a couple games like do I just sit around and wait till playoffs till playoffs start because a lot of guys do that and more power to
Them I hear you but you know it’s then you’re like waiting either for an injury either you’re like waiting for somebody to get hurt i’ have guilt I’d have guilt exactly or you’re just going to like you know they’re going to pay me to be like
A backup guy and I’ll get like another shirt bow or I’m just going into yeah so I’m for me at that point I’m like you know what I don’t want to I want to be proactive and just completely go off so I that was something that I thought
About but definitely not doing it and I look forward to getting skinny we’re going to get to that here in a second I guess all right well if you could do it all over again would you change it nothing not a thing not a thing not even
This last year um I hear you well i’ take that back I’d take a Super Bowl for sure but um you know everything happens for a reason you know I’ve been very very fortunate with all of the teammates and coaches that I’ve had and um you
Know I wouldn’t have wanted to play any anywhere else uh be with anybody else so I wouldn’t change any of that I might change like you know I’m not perfect i’ I’ve made plenty of mistakes that I looking back would have done differently or you know I’ve I’ve been an [ __ ]
I’ve been a jerk like I’m like this is the reality of life right and um you know I think overall I’ve been pretty good but I think for the most part there’s always something you look back on and you’re like man I could have been better there 1,000% so trust me I know
No I just did one in the Super Bowl um all right that does it for uh we gotta ask but you don’t have to answer and lastly there’s been an outpouring of love from the Philadelphia Community uh since you made the announcement really from the entire world and uh your your
Teammate Darius Slay chimed in with an idea you’re absolutely not going to love um but everyone else is so [ __ ] on board with it March 4th should be Kelsey day in Philly the man is a true legend shout out to Big play slay I’m on board
And I’m pretty sure Philly’s on board so it sounds like you have an official day whether you like it or not you you know damn well I do not support madeup holidays slay should know at this point too but I’m going to trick you into [ __ ] having a beer randomly on every
Day of your life you’re not going to trick me you just offer me one or every year whatever day it is for the most part yeah I don’t think we should do this for sure yeah I think there should just be like an Maybe another Mummers
Parade not just on the the first of the year but the 4th of March and everyone dress up as you as your mummer as my mummer string band’s mummer suit yeah like have you ever seen those videos where everybody throws on the T-Rex suit uh no and runs I think I know what
You’re talking about actually it’s like the air inside of them yeah yeah those are funny H man a bunch of Jason Kel’s running around um maybe running of the bulls running of I mean I’ve always kind of wanted to go to that I mean you went through a
Table what else what’s next everyone has to run in flip flops you wouldn’t touch the Rhino I’m not [ __ ] getting in front of that thing [ __ ] that well all you got to do you don’t got to out run you don’t got to outrun it you just got
To outrun me you already know I’ll go swimming with sharks as long as I’m not the only one in it I can out swim somebody ceremonial keg stands there’s a whole bunch of stuff we can get into and we will get into it March officially Jason Kel day Philly let’s get this
Thing going mayor sign it up this is not a thing put it on paper moving on it’s time for some special retirement Edition and no dumb questions because there’s no such thing as dumb questions just a bunch of dumb people and a retired dumbass all right so no dumb retirement
Questions is brought to you by Buffalo Wild Wings Wings beer Sports let’s go sports bar see we do have rhythm it’s nice when there’s not delay on the still can’t harmonize though should we try no I’m I’m stuff go you start nailed it I knew it was the
Streaming it’s all about Riverside they got to get their [ __ ] fixed Zach Brown we’re coming dude we’re we’re on our way dude all right uh from at Cornelia SLG Gurley Cornelia last Gurley is am I saying that right uh I cornelus Gir Cornelius T Gurley yeah I think that
Sounds right Cornelius Cornelius Gurley from wherever U don’t know where you’re from uh at no dumb questions once you guys eventually retire um will you keep rooting for the teams you play for or go back to the fans of the Browns since uh they were
Your uh OG team yeah I mean I’m a Eagles first and foremost yeah and I’ll probably still cheer a little bit for the Eagles I mean i’ I’ve like I said I become a Philly sports fan myself in that regard I think fans who haven’t played definitely my own wife like
There’s a uh a I mean listen we are still Cleveland sports fans I still cheered the Browns on and I did it my entire career like I’m always rooting for the Browns uh it come there’s a slight conflict when like the Eagles play the Browns every four years maybe
If they ever go to Super Bowl together but that would be the only times so it’s not like there’s some insane rivalry with the Cleveland Browns and Chief and Eagles I so I can be fans of all three teams you know I mean in my mind I get
I’m it’s still Eagles here like it’s Eagles got be then until you retire it’s Chiefs the moment you retire it’s probably Browns then Chiefs I respect it I respect it but either way those are the top three for sure and then bills how how about that coming out of nowhere they just
They about that Lake dude dude they were so nice and yeah they were nice to you dude they were so nice I know that you guys saw you maybe on social media in hosle environment I didn’t expect it to be nice I’m just saying they were didn’t
Expect it to be that I mean it wasn’t like they were nice nice but like they were they were still ribbing you but that’s like to be like expected yeah yeah you want a hostile environment but I still we were getting buffalo wings at the big tree in all the Buffalo fans
Were just excited for the game and they’re everybody’s being nice and everybody that works there is being nice to us with the wings we’re having buffalo wings for our first time in Buffalo so it’s a it’s like a a freaking um like almost like a not serendipitous but like a um I don’t
Know it’s just a unique experience right you get to have something that originated someplace it’s cool yeah well not and you’re part of it yeah I think they’re they’re easy fourth at this point nice from uh analyzing Taylor all right when Jason is ready to talk about
It I’m interested if he’s going to shed pounds in retirement since he won’t um have to maintain the caloric intake needed to play o line I was uh I was blown away by seeing Allan FICA Alan FICA after playing and he um he’s running marathons dude yeah
I’m not doing that dude what dude I don’t know how Allen’s doing it but like I’m I’m not running on pavement I tried that already with the 5K not going to make a living doing that my knees are already messed up enough but there have been plenty of oine men that that have
Kind of chiseled it down oh I’m looking forward to that yeah I’m going to get I’m going to slim down I’ll probably my goal is 250 right now well this last week I got down to like 285 cuz I knew I was doing this yeah um and then I had

I love my own brother so much. And I love watching you guys because its a reflection of how I feel. Such a pleasure to witness this era.
Love watching your podcast best one yet. Jason congratulation I can't wait to see what's next. What a career Jason what a career.
Travis not understanding the “Cornelia st girly” username as a swiftie reference is sending me
Travis is Taylor’s Yoko ono
Cat looks like Mr T, Eagles suck.
Thank you for everything Jason, you are forever an Eagle.
Nick Foles chugging a beer made my week!
Yoko Ono – The Famous Speed Skater 😆
Loved having you both in the same room together this week!
I didn't think I could love you guys anymore but since Travis just pulled "Welcome back: Kotter" reference I'm old school and that was my favorite show. KUDOS
Has anyone pointed out that March 3, 2025 will be the 62nd day of the year? Sounds like the perfect Jason Kelce day @newheightshow
J: “it’s all about physics”
T: “get the protractor” (used for angles) 😂😂
I LOVE when Travis, despite how smart and experienced he is, makes “little brother” comments. It’s like just watching 2 brothers hang out.
Happy Retirement Jason! 💚🦅
Would be cool to see Jason playing with Travis at least for one year! 😅
Jason, you're an amazing human being!
I was so upset when Jason retired, but today’s episode was so comforting that he’ll still be around ❤🥹
Walked around a zoo in Cameroon with a Lowland Gorilla on my hip like a toddler.Before Neyongo got down she leaned over and kissed my cheek. It was amazing.
Jason, what you said to your wife during your speech showed not just your daughters, but all the young ladies who follow(swifties) that having a man love you fully is not a dream and can be a reality. Your daughters will always be able to see the love their parents shared. What a beautiful gift to your girls and so many young ladies.
You also taught young men it is ok to cry it is ok to love and it is ok to be open about love. Thank you for being so amazing. I admire you
Thanks you for being you. I’ll speak for all Eagles fans when I say that it hurts to see you retire but thank you for the great memories. Hopefully I’ll get to meet you one day and shake your hand.
Oh, and Jason Kelce day should be June 2nd (6/2). Maybe down in sea isle. Go 🦅
Hi Travis and Jason yall are the best travis tell Taylor hello for me .
1:34:12 uh oh lol Trav – the user name corneliastgirly is a reference to a Taylor Swift song called “Cornelia Street.” 😂🤦🏼♀️
Awwww such love between brothers ❤️❤️
❤❤❤
Shout out to Bluey
Yoko Ono. 😂😂😂
Houseguest was the Sinbad movie Travis was thinking.
Can I just say , I would love to see the two Kelce brothers up front at a fashion show! 😂 the brothers need to have oversized sunglasses and the highest of fashion outfits. I would LMAO
I was sobbing the whole time watching Jason gave his retirement speech. He’s a good person person. What a career! They have a good family. The one thing I admire about Jason is how took care of his brother Travis. It’s shows how they were raised by their parents!
GREAT EPISODE ! CONGRATS JASON 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks!
Run for president Jason We need more good people to lead the country
