Trav says he thinks the best fast food burger is Burger King, but he also notes that he orders no mayo, no onion. Seems a little strange. I suppose you still get the grilled flavor that sets Burger King apart from the others who go with the flat top, but.. Idk.

Them BK onions do be strong af. I don't eat there often but that shit stays on your breath for a day after you eat it.

He's lucky he's so good. Or else I'd want him cut for not only liking Burger King but going even further to say they're the best fast food burger.

As soon as Trav said BK and "no mayo, no onion" Jason's like "I'm not sure your opinion even matters anymore" or something to that effect lol

Trav also said Five Guys is better than In N Out, which I'm sure ruffled a few feathers (though I agree).

Sonic.

The answer is Sonic.

Especially using their definition (since most other contenders would be in the fast casual category).

Haven’t had a Sonic burger in years, they were pretty good, I used to add chili and jalapeños sometimes.

If you ask 'em to fry the jalapenos into the meat they'll do it. With some grilled onions and onion rings to boot - gooooood stuff.

Wait, WTF did you just say? Did i read that right? Did you just say Sonic has the best fast food burger?

Ooooh mother****. You did say that.

Dude....i'm not sure we can be friends.

School cafeteria burger is better than In-N-Out.

ROFL Truth!

I like an In-N-Out burger but their fries are complete trash

Burger Kings near me are just not jumpin' these days.

Like Arby's, I truly wonder who is still keeping those franchises in business.

I once went to Burger King and was told "we are out of Whopper meat"

Not ground beef, mind you. They had OTHER burgers to serve. They were out of "whopper meat".

I don't go to Burger King anymore.

Tbh, a lot of the most popular fast food chains should probably die out soon.

With price inflation, they're not even all that cheap anymore. Go to Wendy's, McDonald's, etc. and order a meal, you're walking away spending $10-13. Might as well splurge and go to Five Guys or something. You can get more food that tastes better and is slightly better for you for $15.

And the appeal of most fast food, being open for late night post-bar/club runs isn't even a thing anymore with staffing issues. Most of these places are closing early or just don't have the staff to be able to get your order out to you quickly enough to make the stop worth it.

You've gotta have their apps to make most fast food joints worthwhile.

For instance, McDonalds app always has a $1 large fry. And a buy one, get one for $1 spicy McChicken.

So $1 for my fry, $2.50 for 2 spicy McChickens, $1 coke - $4.50 plus tax for a fast food lunch's tolerable.

Or you do the buy one get one free w/ the Big Mac, Quarter pounder and/or 10 piece nugget and just have a couple of those for $6 and end up shitting your brains out.

All the fast food joints have apps now that can usually knock about 1/3 off the price of a single meal.

Burger King use to be awesome. They suck ass now.

Nothing redeemable about it. Clearly, Kelce does not eat out much.

And DJ is over here trollin' with that Sonic shit. Quit trollin' DJ, you funny guy, you.

What's a better fast food burger?

Not 5 Guy, mind you - or steak shack. None of that fancy fast casual shit. A straight up fast food joint.

I'm pretty sure Steak and Shake has drive throughs and they have better crusts but you need a triple cheeseburger to get enough meat to be worthwhile. Jack in the Box will give you a disease before you even ingest it; filthy ass places. I can't speak to Rally's or Checkers since I've tried to go 5 or 6 times and been car-jacked each time.

I mean Sonic blow the doors off your standard Wendy's or McDonalds fare. And ultimately they're at worst right alongside Whataburger (I'm sorry, Pat).

There are literally dozens of places to get better burgers - but straight up fast food joints? I dunno, man - I'm drawing a blank here.

I'll allow an entry based on personal preference here - Hardees.

Sonic is admittedly a thinner diner style burger; gotta prefer that type if that's your choice and if so, again, Super Sonic Double Bacon Cheeseburger is ****ing aces.

But if you don't like thinner burgers, Hardees has a solid set of options. Otherwise, I'm just not seeing a better option out there.

Lol at your assessment of Jack in the Box. I'm an East Coaster so my only experiences with JntB was on a short trip to SoCal/Vegas and those places were always ****ing disgusting. Homeless havens.

And their menus were just too damned much. I feel like they had burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos. You're a fast food joint, you can have two out of those three but not all of them. Ya gotta pick one and roll with that.

My absolute fav fast food burger was the Hardee’s Monster Burger, right before they went to that thick burger crap. It was awesome.

I've got the Wendy's and McD's apps. You are correct, that's the only thing that makes it worthwhile.

Wendy's often has this special in the app for $2 off a combo meal. I'll get the #1 (triple) and after coupon it's still like $10-11. Every time I'm just like "****, man, I could have just gone to Five Guys for those prices".

This is sort of funny because I had a Culver's burger the other day that was actually pretty damned good. I'm not a fan of crinkle cut fries but theirs could have been worse.

And ya can't sleep on Dairy Queen. That Grill n Chill will surprise you every time!

Everything Sonic makes tastes like they added sugar to it. It's awful.

I'd take pretty much everything before Sonic. Sonic is good for sugary ice drinks on a hot day. That's about it.

Sonic is just the last place i'd go for an actual food item.

I like Culver's too. Braum's makes a great bacon cheeseburger, and they tend to be a little cheaper, too.

Culver's burgers are by far the best of the real fast food burgers (if you're not counting the places like Five Guys).

Used to be amazing. Hardee's has gone way downhill. In fact, a lot of them around here are closing because they get no business.

Hurts is a dumbass not realizing who played Brady against during the SB.

Culver's and it's not even close. Culver's is much more similar to Five Guys or stuff like that while being more like Wendy's and McDonald's in terms of prices and stuff. They're based out of Wisconsin though so you might not have many of them near you. They're everywhere here in farming country.

On a strictly burger basis, that's fair - it's a strong burger.

I just don't go there because crinkle cut fries are for toddlers.

I don't usually eat fries so I don't care.

We're getting one here that's opening next month. I've never had one, but I've heard great things.

We've got two left here in Springtown. Still my favorite burger, whenever I feel like paying out the arse for one.

It is by far the best burger place in the United States. (as far as fast food goes)

Now, one that is a little less "Fast Food" witch is S-Tier is "Freddies"

Hardees. (or I guess Carl's Junior). Them Angus Steak burgers are righteous as ****...

Culver's butter burger and cheese curds. Tits

I'm jealous AF.

We had a Sonic for a bit. But food production became immediately secondary to meth.

Food was always a ****ing joke. Which is a goddamned shame. They have by far the best add on items that move the needle. (At least they did 20 years ago when I was in college).

****ing popcorn chicken, cheddar bites, moz sticks, poppers. All great subs for fries.

But no. We can't have nice things here. ****.

Idk if it's because they're new to my area but Culver's Burgers coupled with their service can't be beat. Crinkle fries are my favorite but Culver's are pretty trash somehow. I usually skip them too

Burger King will be out of business within 10 years, I'd bet money on it.

Do you think they get the hamburgers and hand form them into burgers there or something? This is fast food man. It's all slop. The only goal is for it to taste reasonably good for as little money as possible.

Jalen Hurts said he never saw MJ play?

HOLY **** I'm an old man.

I have yet to go to a Whattaburger in Kansas City area. I drive by and the drive thru is out the ass so I say eff it. But when I go to Oklahoma nobody is ever there so I partake in the shit tasty food in that god forsaken hell hole.

Real bitch of things in rural America man - meth has changed things so much in small towns in just the last decade or so.

Damn shame. We used to run around with the locals at the ranch when I was in high school - great time. Drink, fight, drive too fast, hit on local chicks and see what happens.

Wouldn't let my kids go hang out in town in a million years now.

Back when I could eat them, the Sourdough Jack at Jack In the Box was absolutely my favorite fast food burger. The Jack in the Box restaurants around here are fine, just normal fast food places. :shrug:

Yeah, I don't really know the extent to which meth is prevalent, but it sure seemed like that Sonic was chalk full of meth heads. And perspective is a hell of a thing. From my perspective as a kid, I knew of a little booze around, but I didn't know of anything else, so therefore it doesn't exist, right? Well, having been around awhile, I hear people talk about so and so fried their shit, well simple math tells me that happened while I was a kid, probably playing with their kids.

It's a problem, and unfortunately for us, the county attorney is a lump and won't prosecute (at least that's the story I get from secondary sources that I believe, but am open to being wrong about).

My kids are young enough that I have some time yet, but I have some really hard conversations coming up, because I have extraordinarily limited exposure to any of it, so I can't grasp the situations/thought processes where it will come up.

I honestly don't know what high school kids do these days. I had similar experiences in high school, less the fighting... we all went to school Monday, no need for fighting. But my nephew who is 22 (and we know how long 4 years is to high school kids) now did way different shit in high school. They did some boozing, but they seemed to only want to embrace doing hillbilly shit. Maybe it's the kid, maybe it's the time, who knows.

Whatever, it's late, I'm rambling. Sonic sucks because they couldn't hire management to implement proper controls to operate the store in my town....:cuss:

Oh hell no, Sonic is straight up trash, I would eat a BK burger over that shit 10 out of 10 times.

I liked his perspective though, his QB MT Rushmore he didn't want to name players he had never watched play like Montana etc...

Jason's comments about Vince Young were pretty comical though. Dude was filling in for Vick who got hurt and threw an INT and Jason went to to tell him its alright and Vince didn't GAF anyway. LMAO

Explains a lot.

Updated

Meth has been prevalent here since the early 90's. It's everywhere. If you're ordering fast food, there's a better than good chance a meth head is preparing it.

That being said, our opioid problem is even WORSE.

24:25 kelce is fawning over how toney returns punts, and it sounds baller as ****

dude's going to break one this year

his impersonation of him adjusting his gloves was l33t too LMAO

Also, nice insight on Noah Gray.

just remember folks, travis kelce is not on his podcast talking about glove-gate unless chiefsplanet IDs that moment and pumps it out to the masses

we are legend

LMAO. -you’re welcome :)

Mailata can sing

Meth blew thru my town I grew up in. It's still around, but opoids have taken over sadly.

Today's episode was great. But, a weird thing happened in it. Travis was giving Jason some shit about making excuses for ****ing up during the last Eagles game, and Jason basically just left the mic. When it comes back, it's the next day and Jason says he had to take a break because he was so pissed off. He then goes on to explain that they both want the show to be authentic, and if there are emotions they show them. So...I don't think it was a fake stunt. It was kinda weird, but also kinda cool.

These two are fun as hell to listen to, for sure.

Thank you for updating. That was a great one. They are both so good together.

I was talking to my gf the other day about podcasts we listen to and I said, New Heights is the only one that if I see a new episode jumps to the front of the que automatically.

I travel every week town to town, half of them have dining rooms shut down, is it the food or help?

brothers know how to snipe feelings.

this is real, uncanned patrick...exactly how he is in real life...none of that press conference, post-game interview fake patrick

this is going to be ****ing amazing

that is such a great story

i bet if you dig hard enough on CP you can find people freaking out about mahomes not being able to throw to tight ends, because you know he never had one at texas tech oh no

Agreed. Kinda think the Kelce's blew their load early though with Hurts and Mahomes back to back like that. Those are both big interviews to get candid like that. If they had baited them we'd be ****ing DYING to get them. They could edged us with AJ Brown and Chris Jones etc.

But yeah i've been looking forward to this one since episode 1.

I don't know if they'll ever pull it off, but man - Big Red with those two would be amazing.

Maybe a line better not crossed...

I mean, considering what you thought of Mahomes prior to the 2017 draft...

Never know. Never thought I'd see big red on an airplane drawing mustaches on people for state farm and yet...

Updated

These days I have to imagine it's a staffing issue.

If you open the dining room, that's one or two more people needed to attend to the dining room cash register and cleaning/tidying up the tables/bathroom.

I'm listening on my phone, but I'm going to have to watch it on YouTube when they post it. It's really freaking good.

Matt Nagy, you glorious bastard...

Matt Nagy is my favorite coach now.

And we always wondered where/how the Chiefs got their intel on Mahomes draft status - weeelllllll now we know...

So.....is that like some kind of collusion?

Haven't listened, any cliff notes on what Nagy did?

The vaunted 'pre-draft meeting' where Reid noted that Mahomes destroyed the plays/reads that he was supposed to diagram almost like he knew they were coming?

He did.

Because Nagy gave him the plays the night before because he wanted to draft him.

So Mahomes spent the night before the interview memorizing all the plays. He had the answers to the test before he took it...

I wouldn't think so.

Its an internal process - the Chiefs could conduct that interview however they wanted. I mean Reid may go to Nagy and say "hey - you got lucky, don't ever do that shit again"...

But it's no sort of league issue. The Chiefs could've had him show up and bake a cake if they wanted to.

Now as to Mahomes leaking what he was told? Again, I don't think that's collusion, but there are gonna be some teams that aren't real happy with his agent...

And hell, think of how many times teams have told players "if you're there, we're gonna take you" and then didn't do it. I don't know that any of this stuff is off limits. Smoke screens are known entities - these teams leak DISINFORMATION to combat precisely this sort of thing.

on his kneecap injury: "i was pretty hyped, because i have small calves, and it made them bulge out a little bit more" LMAO LMAO

I mean more on him and his agent giving KC a heads up on it.
