Summary
92%ers welcome back to another episode of New Heights! Today we are joined by Maryland’s finest, an ESPN legend, and Jason’s friend from work, Scott Van Pelt!
Before we get to the conversation with SVP, Jason and Travis weigh in on the MLB phenomenon that is the ‘Torpedo Bat, ’ debate the NFL’s ongoing drama around banning the ‘Tush Push,’ look at some insane Travis look-a-likes spotted in the wild, and introduce the newest Kelce to podcasting.
Later, Scott Van Pelt joins the show to discuss Maryland’s coaching search, what it was really like working with Jason on Monday Night Countdown, what he felt on his first day at ESPN, the secret the calling The Masters, the incredible definition of the phrase “leaves in the gutter,” and so much more!
Finally, the guys lose it trying to answer a not dumb question about detachable body parts and we check in on the New Heights bracket challenge.
