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
