Content warning: Today's Local Hour contains conversation about sexual assault and sexual misconduct. If you or a loved one has been a victim of sexual abuse, you are not alone. Help is available via the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673. Today's cast: Dan, Amin, Andrew Hawkins, Chris, Jeremy, Mike, and Tony. After last night's fun on Thursday Night Football full of wacky football in the snow, Dan inexplicably wanted to begin the Shadow Show with RFK Jr. sound. Then, Jameis Winston delivered some incredibly funny and memorable sound last night both before and after the Browns win, but after we listen to a montage, Dan notices a look on Jeremy's face from the corner of the room. Are we allowed to discuss Jameis without having conversations about his past? What if it's a celebration of his personality? Where do we draw the line on this show in particular? Plus, Hawk declares himself the "Myles Garrett of movement" as we discuss Garrett's dominance, and Jason Kelce's fame continues to escalate. We'll hear video from TMZ of a fan going after Kelce whenever the video team gets it together, but in the meantime, Dan, Amin, and Hawk discuss how fame can be suffocating and how Kelce will potentially need to change in order to handle it.

Chapter 1: What funny moments did Jameis Winston deliver on Thursday Night Football?
Listen, boys, we got to talk about Jägermeister, a go-to guy at home, at the bar, or maybe even out at the rink. A drink so ice cold, it deserves its own video tribute at every sports bar across North America. No trash talk, no running its mouth. We love the confidence on them. Jägermeister sent us an ad to read on the show, but they're so confident they said, don't do any of that normal ad stuff.
Tell the listeners two things. Jägermeister is great, but everyone's been drinking it wrong. Damn, that's cold. Well, how should we be drinking it? They're so glad you asked. Ice cold at zero degrees Fahrenheit, to be exact. Ice cold shots of Jagermeister. That's it. That's all they want to tell you. So wherever you are, if you're hanging out with friends or at the bar, call the shots.
Cheers with ice cold shots of Jagermeister. Damn, that's cold.
And remember to check Jagermeister out at DraftKingsXJagermeister.com.
Drink responsibly. Jagermeister liqueur, 35% alcohol by volume. Imported by Mass Jagermeister U.S. White Plains, New York. Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here?
Cuervo.
Cuervo.
The tequila that invented tequila.
Cuervo.

Chapter 2: How do we balance humor and serious topics in sports?
Yes and? Yeah, why not? So it wasn't a lot of conviction, but the mood of today, when Jameis is doing Snow Angels on Thursday Night Football, the mood shouldn't be no fluoride in the water guy, brain worm guy, you know, doing Trump sound in his distinctive voice without any explanation.
But if you could find any of that stuff funny, RFK doing that in that voice that you immediately recognize would have been funny with no explanation, but a little too political.
I think it's a little too political. I love polio.
This I'm here for.
I love polio. I love polio. Laura.
I don't think we should do that. No, I think this is a great time for us to stick to the sports now. Yeah? Yeah. Just check out on the whole politics thing all together. Look, hey, we gave it a run. We lost. No, we tried hard. We tried so hard. We made sacrifices. Incredibly hard. Tangible sacrifices. We lost. Okay, capitulate. Remember the porn thing? That smoked.
Dan, you ever, remember back in the day when you play pick up, you go to the park, you go to the gym, and it's like 100 people waiting for next, and you play that game, and you know like, if I lose, it's gonna be a long time before I get back on that court. Guess what, man?
Tony, the way Tony looked into my eyes and just searing said, you got smoked. We did try. We did try. And we got trampled by America. Look at Jeremy. You can't see him because it's the shadow show. But he's dead in the eyes. He doesn't think anything. And he's funny. And Jeremy, I'm with you. I ain't going to quit. I'm not going to give up on the fight and just talk comedy.
Get ready to learn Nelk Boys.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of Miles Garrett's performance?
No, maybe later. Maybe in the postgame. We'll do it with Andrew Hawkins. Let's play just an assortment of Jameis Winston sound. I hope it starts with some of the sound from last night because every time he gets in front of microphones, it's fun CTE time.
The beautiful thing about today is it doesn't matter what happened in the past, and no one really cares about the future. Reality, we are where we are. But where are we trying to go? What are we willing to do to be the best that we can be today? I'm with you. I got your back. So be thinking. Actually, don't think. Be the best that you can be today together. All right, man? Let's go.
What's something about you that a lot of people or that no one knows about Jameis Winston? Well, I like cartoons.
You know?
You know, I'm just vibing, you know? I got a little dizzy in me, too, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I got a little, you know? The horse is prepared for battle, but victory comes from the Lord. So I'm depending on the Lord.
Is that the message to the team?
Day by day, one play at a time. That's the message.
Weather conditions tonight. We're expecting winds up to 15 miles per hour and a wintry mix. How will that impact your ability to throw the ball?
I am so happy and grateful that the Lord has blessed me to play in some snow, to be in true football weather in Cleveland, Ohio, at Huntington Bank Field today to give him the glory. It's a beautiful day. You got certain things that we're all like, our body is so symmetrical, right? You got your wrists, you know, what are your wrists on the bottom half?

Chapter 4: How does fame affect athletes like Jason Kelce?
That is great analysis. Because I'm from South Florida.
You didn't think about it.
Well, winter just blew in. It's 63 degrees out there, and I went through all the winter clothing this morning. If I were a child and had fun CTE, I, too, would go face first into snow angels because I don't know how to do them either.
How am I supposed to know? So many things. I never know what's off limits on this show. Like, I don't, like... You can't cross certain lines, but also fun CTE. We're workshopping it, huh?
We might not be able to do it. You tell us. I'm just saying.
It's hilarious, but it's one of those things like for me as a football player, it's hilarious with other football players. So I'm like looking for the other guy to be like, yeah, that is. Wait a minute. Hold on now. I feel like they're laughing at me. But face down, snow angels. is like someone who grew up in western Pennsylvania, played in Canada, college in Ohio.
You can dive forward, but you immediately flip for the Angel. You don't face down Snow Angel.
I got to be honest, tremendous analysis I haven't heard anywhere else that only we in Miami need because everyone else seems to think that this is all obvious. I did not initially notice that he had done it that way.
Look at Andrew Whitworth. Watch his technique. Dive. Flip. It was not his first time.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of discussing Jameis Winston's past?
Look, I just wanted to make sure that it got set. It always gets said. It always gets said.
Did you see the pass of Jerry Judy over the top? It was an incredible pass.
It literally always gets said.
It's where Dan started. It's like the first thing he said about Jerry Judy.
You guys didn't even know it happened. No, no, no. Actually, I think you got confused. I will go out and say I never heard that story. No, I knew about the Uber one. I thought he was talking about a new thing. I knew the Uber one. that I was talking about, but it's just, it's always said on this show. And I don't, at what point do we keep saying it has to be said and we said it?
Is that our responsibility?
The women who listen to our show who either are victims of sexual assault or are watching what's going on in this country in regard to, and I hate, like again, I hate the word, I hate me too. I don't like me either. Jeremy, be careful with Daisy. But you do love yourself. You hate the movement. I hate me too. You hate the movement. Yeah, the movement. Yep, the movement. You know what?
I'm going far right myself. That's crazy.
All of it.

Chapter 6: Why do we celebrate Jameis Winston's personality despite controversies?
He's like, we're having a bad season and no one's talking about me because of it. I'm going to remind you.
Since February, whenever T.J. Watt tweeted and tweet and it was a nationally televised game everybody's watching like that's that's it's hard to get that kind of motivation for a team that's not doing well if if i may though
TJ Watt has led the league in sacks three years. I don't think anybody's ever done that. So Miles Garrett is like, hey, me, I'm the one, all the double teams. It's never me isolated. It's never me not being chipped by a back. It's me breaking through double teams.
But TJ Watt, the stats say forever that TJ Watt, the way we do it, not the way that Hawk does it, but the way we do it, the stats say forever that TJ Watt is better than Miles Garrett because no one's ever done lead the league in sacks three years. I don't know. Reggie White, maybe? I'm just guessing.
Reggie had two in a row. I'm looking through now.
I don't think that's been done before. And TJ Watt just started. What we're talking about there is statistics. How do you measure these guys? Because when I saw Miles Garrett for the first time, I'm like, holy shit, I've rarely seen anything like that. It took me a couple of years with TJ Watt. It wasn't like that from the very beginning.
I'm as big a Miles Garrett fan as there is. And I think they're so consistently great. What I give the edge to TJ Watt is TJ Watt has this intangible flair for the dramatic with a game on a line. You feel almost certain he's going to touch the football. Now, Miles has come up for his team in big spots, too.
But it seems like in seasons that their entire identity is TJ is going to make a game-changing play. He delivers almost time in and time out. And I think he's just got that extra little bit of clutchness in those big-time moments that are huge game-changing plays that Miles is just falling short of.
You know, when Mike talks like that, he looks like a jaguar. Yeah, he holds his arms up and he's like...

Chapter 7: What are the key takeaways from the Browns' season?
There was one field goal where I thought it was good. You couldn't really see the ball in the air. It was just like, I think that's good.
Njoku dropped an easy pass. Al Michael couldn't tell the difference. Al Michaels couldn't tell the difference between Njoku. He couldn't see the field, right? Right.
I think he called a white guy David Njoku for sure. I saw that on the Internet.
Me and Tony had PTSD from our time in Cleveland during the NBA All-Star weekend because it literally looked exactly like that.
It snowed on us like that. We were standing outside of, I don't even remember where it was, like McGillicuddy's Bar or something.
Whatever that Irish bar is, you know, the one right across from the queue or whatever. I can't remember.
Let's figure this out.
Let's figure out what it's called. It's McGillicuddy's. Don't worry about it. Wait, stay here. Come on. Let's find it.
Quicksand. The name of the place was Quicksand.

Chapter 8: How does the podcast navigate the topic of sexual assault?
So I am reformed from this way of thinking, but I do think in those situations that that would happen less. if people felt what the actual repercussions should be.
Here's the problem. Ten years ago, you were right. Now, we live in an economy where they want to get punched in the face. You see how many of those prank videos where they run the prank on the wrong person, and then that person, oh, it's just a prank, it's just a prank. It'd be no... that video still gets posted.
And it still racks up numbers.
So you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't. The only thing you can do to save yourself is not give it any attention. Is to basically go catatonic. And that's what, look, as someone who's been a bully all my life, everyone knows, well, maybe not me, because I do still like bullying people who don't respond back. But... For most bullies, they get scared.
Like if you don't do anything back, it's boring for them. It's like a bear, it's like you play dead. I want the chase. Me, not so much. I don't care much about the chase. I just like, I like knowing that deep down inside you're ignoring me, but I'm still annoying you.
There's a part of me that's sad for Jason Kelsey. Because, I mean, the whole dynamic between him and Travis are they are polar opposites, right? Like, they are completely different. One's a, you know, superstar tight end that wasn't even really a thing before Travis Kelsey, the way that it is now. Wanted fame, though. Yes. Aggressively wanted fame.
Wanted the spotlight, knew he was built and made for it, and now it's like this larger-than-life offering from Jason's side, which is an offensive lineman, which is the opposite thing. If you know anything about offensive linemen... They, like, don't do the things that Travis does or don't say the things that Miles Garrett does in a post-game interview.
They pride themselves on being under the radar, you know, people of the people and not being this. And so it feels like for Jason, this thing is almost getting bigger than he ever thought it would. And he's... having trouble transitioning to what life is like on this side of it.
It's what a lot of people find out. It's like your fame is different. There's a different level. And whatever life he got to live literally as an NFL player and as a Super Bowl champion, pales in comparison in terms of attention to what he has now. And there's positives to it, right? There's blessings that come with that. But there's also a bunch of curses.
