Got an incredible guest coming on this episode.
Speaker 2 And you're going to find out who it is. There's clues on the screen right now.
Speaker 2 You probably already know.
Speaker 2 I mean, you probably got a little. They'll probably ruin the surprise because it helps people tune in and watch it and we need to advertise it.
Speaker 2
I mean, this is right up there. We'll ruin this episode, though.
I've met this person.
Speaker 2 I met. We should just say his name because it's kind of
Speaker 2
I've met this person one time. And let me tell you, I have not been starstruck by many people.
I did, I was kind of like I am now. I didn't know what to say.
Like, I was just at a loss of words.
Speaker 2 And I'm like, just don't quote every movie he's ever been in because that's what every dummy doo-doo head does. But I think I proceeded to probably do that.
Speaker 2
If it's a good one, you got to just be tasteful with it if you're going to do it. Yeah.
It's got to be perfect timing and great delivery. You got to deliver it if you're going to do it.
Oh,
Speaker 2
you guys are in for a treat. I mean, we're in for a treat too.
It's cool to even have this guy on.
Speaker 2 All righty, our guest today is an absolute legend. You may know him from his film and TV career spanning over three decades.
Speaker 2 He's written and starred in some of the most iconic movies of all time, including Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, The Water Boy, and so many more.
Speaker 2
He's a one-time winner of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, a 16-time MTV Movie Award 90. He's got Teen Choice Awards, People Choice Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 He's a fan of high-quality H2O. Jesus, you have a
Speaker 2 today, Junior.
Speaker 2
Spit it out. That's right.
Our guest is the one and only Sandman, Adam San Luis, baby. Boys,
Speaker 2
so happy to see both of you guys. Love you both.
You know that. You know that.
Speaker 2
Thank you so much for coming on, Adam. This is incredible.
It's iconic, man. You too, fellas.
Yes. Yes.
Come on, Jason. Hit me.
Speaker 2
So you recently just finished a stand-up special. Yes, yes.
That's going to be launching on, I think,
Speaker 2 Tuesday.
Speaker 2 Yes, yes. It comes out on Tuesday.
Speaker 2 I was doing a tour, running around for like
Speaker 2 a couple years, you know, in and out.
Speaker 2
I kind of do it like I go away for a couple weeks, then I go back home for a month or two, then I go do another couple weeks, that kind of thing. Yeah.
And
Speaker 2 when I was out, on the tour, I was like, oh man,
Speaker 2 probably should make a special just so I, because I know one day I'm going to throw this material out and move on to some new stuff, so might as well document it. And so I said, let me do a special.
Speaker 2
Netflix said, that sounds good. And then I called Josh Safty, who's this great director, and he did Uncut Gems.
Him and his brother Benny did uncut gems.
Speaker 2 And I said to Josh, would you want to maybe direct a comedy special? And he said, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 And I thought we were just going to shoot a normal special, but he just kind of took over and made it a a different style and different feel and threw weird stuff at me. And
Speaker 2
it's a special, but it's kind of like a movie. It's different.
It's a little different. Yeah.
I cannot wait for everybody to see this, man.
Speaker 2
They let us preview it, and that was alone the coolest thing ever. Oh, yeah.
That was awesome, brother.
Speaker 2 Thank you, bud.
Speaker 2
You're right. It is different.
And it's like kind of segmented. There's a whole like thing going back and forth with the projection and all that.
Speaker 2 How do you even get to like creating something like that? Like, I know that stand-up, you're bringing on jokes and you're trying to figure out your routine, but that thing was so unique.
Speaker 2 How did that whole process come about? Well, I was kind of ready to just do a normal stand-up special. I was excited because I was kind of locked in.
Speaker 2 You know, when you do stand-up and you're on the road, it evolves.
Speaker 2 You get better and better at your act and figure out better things to talk about, figure out better ways to tell your thoughts or your jokes or whatever the hell it is.
Speaker 2 And so I was kind of locked into a certain way that that i was ready to ready to you know throw down and um
Speaker 2 and then he's he josh was just kind of like you know we've seen seen you do a stand-up special already i did one like six six years ago so he said let's try to come up with a new way to present it so that's kind of what happened what made you want to get back into the stand-up realm like you took a long hiatus from it not too long i saw 100 fresh live actually i was at the uh the hayworth out there in la dude that's right buddy i remember seeing that.
Speaker 2 I was in a whole nother world. And
Speaker 2
I remember two just off the top that I still remember. There's a phone wall of keys.
Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2
I fucking sing that every single time I walk out of the goddamn door. Oh, I will.
And I haven't forget them. I haven't forgotten them since.
Love that, John.
Speaker 2
And then I want to grow old with you, dude. Yes, I sang that too.
Yes, yes. I sang that for the special.
Speaker 2
That was six years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That is so funny. That was six years ago when I saw you.
That was so fucking cool, man. I saw you
Speaker 2
in the dressing room back there at the Hayworth. You're the fucking man, dude.
You too, buddy. And it was...
I don't even know why I started. Oh, yeah, here's what happened.
I was doing movies.
Speaker 2
Life was going good. You know, I did Saturday Night Live and me and my friends, you know, Spade and Schneider and Rock, we used to run around and do stand-up back then.
So cool. And it was great.
Speaker 2 And then all of a sudden, I was doing a lot of movies and it just became like your schedule was kind of overwhelmed. And so I stopped doing
Speaker 2
stand-up for maybe 20 years or so. Sheesh.
And then I was doing grown-ups.
Speaker 2 And all I heard was Kevin James and Chris Rock and Schneider and Spade and Colin Quinn and all the guys in the movie and Norm McDonald all talking about their gigs they had that weekend.
Speaker 2
And I was like, I was a little jealous. Like, oh man, maybe I should get back on the road.
So that got me into it again. Oh, that's awesome.
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 Well, make sure everyone you check out, Love You. It's streaming now on Netflix.
Speaker 2 Wonderful jokes. It's a very unique, as we've talked about, comedy stand-up special, including a wonderful ode to comedy, which, man,
Speaker 2 if this world needs comedy more than ever, it was just beautifully done, really well done. Thank you, man.
Speaker 2 Yeah, we wrote a song that kind of just talked about all the movies and comedians that influenced me and
Speaker 2 my friends growing up and our generation and that kind of stuff. And what we used to sit and watch growing up with our parents or with our buddies or whatever it was.
Speaker 2
And so wrote a song that puts a lot of that stuff in there. It's got music.
It's got a flamenco guitar to start off with, by the way. I'm like, man, he's bringing it right off the bat.
That's right.
Speaker 2
I did my best. By the way, that was terrifying because I knew sometimes when I'm alone in my room playing my guitar, I go, man, I think I could have been a guitar player.
I'm pretty damn damn good.
Speaker 2
Then when I get on stage, I start getting my, my fingers get tight. Everything's nerve-wracking.
So when I was shooting a special, I was like, come on, man. Let's get this thing right.
Speaker 2
But I did all right. I did all right.
You nailed it. You nailed it.
Thank you. And then the Bluetooth comment hit a little bit too close to home for me.
Speaker 2
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That happens on occasion. That happens.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. You don't like those times.
Speaker 2
All right. Let's talk about Happy Gilmore 2 because you got that coming up.
You just said you're moving to Jersey here coming up. That's what you're going there for, right?
Speaker 2
The whole thing was to get to hang out with Travis. That's why we put it together.
No, yeah, yeah. We're going there.
Travis, by the way, thank you. I heard you talking about it and I was
Speaker 2 on your show, you guys. And then, of course, I was like, you know, I was thinking of, we were talking about you playing my son while we were writing it, literally like six months ago.
Speaker 2 We were like, imagine if Travis was my first, my first baby, how funny that would be.
Speaker 2 Just a badass. But we need to focus.
Speaker 2 I think I got the swing down. You do?
Speaker 2 I think I got the swing down. Can you crack it like that? I was out there the other day, and
Speaker 2 it was literally the day after you went on Fallon
Speaker 2 and told everybody. And I was like, man, you know what? I just got to do a ceremonial one.
Speaker 2
And I fucking ripped it. You did? It felt so good, dude.
It felt so good. What a feeling.
When you look up and that thing's going straight, you're like, that works, man. How did that happen?
Speaker 2
It's just this. Oh, I bet you rip the shit out of you.
What do you hit them when you play? You bang it. You bang it.
Yeah,
Speaker 2
I can hit it about 320 consistently off the bottom. Sort of a drive, but I could be three holes over or right next to the hole.
It's either way. No, but I've seen you swing.
It is nice. It's fun.
Speaker 2 I gotta say, when I'm doing the happy Gilmore swing, I'm maybe one for four with that. One foot.
Speaker 2
It's not a little TV magic on the back end. It's definitely.
I call my own cuts. All right, Oh, here we go.
All right, buddy.
Speaker 2 Oh, that's a long walk up. Boom!
Speaker 2 You can hear Pat Mahomes in the background telling you where we are.
Speaker 2 That's got a good swing, too.
Speaker 2 He can bang him, too. I'm sure you guys have fun golf enough.
Speaker 2
He's a way better player than I am. He takes it way more serious.
I'm just out there for the fun, man. Yeah, well, you're fun, man.
Speaker 2
Everybody on this little hang here, besides me, seems like they have fun on the course. I get get a little snappy out there.
Snappy. A little
Speaker 2 frustrated. Have you gotten back into playing at all just to kind of get ready for the movie? Or did you ever, did you take time off from playing golf?
Speaker 2
Yes, sort of similar to my comedy career. I kind of dipped out for a while and then I was like, what am I doing, man? Let me get back into golf.
And I absolutely played when I was a kid.
Speaker 2 I played when I was like 12.
Speaker 2 And my dad was awesome. My dad was a really good golfer.
Speaker 2 golfer you should he'd shoot in the low 70s i still can't do it i can't get it there holy cow i can't get down low i've had a good nine i had a good nine maybe two weeks ago at riviera i i i think i think i i could say that's where they play the genesis open that's what exactly that's a tough one i mean i played from the whites but i shot i shot okay but i can't i can't put 18 together i can't do it i can't concentrate that long are you guys good with 18 uh dude i suck i sorry i have a very
Speaker 2
third to last in the Tahoe golf out here. Oh, yeah.
He was not good. Didn't break 90 one time.
Speaker 2
I hear you. That's kind of my spot, too, around 88 or something.
I'm good. I'm good probably playing 18.
When it gets to like 18, three days in a row, I am just cooked, man.
Speaker 2
I am cooked and my swing is all over the place. I'm not made for three days of golf in a row.
That's a lot of thinking. That's a lot of thinking.
I can't stay still for that long.
Speaker 2 Like right around hole six, I start going, what the hell am I doing here? What happened happened in my life?
Speaker 2 Burgers have a turn? What are we?
Speaker 2
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Once I eat in the clubhouse, that's so funny.
When I grew up, my dad, there was a, we used to play at this one place, and I think it was hole 13. They used to put out
Speaker 2
Polish sausages and hot dogs and stuff like that. And every time I ate there, my father would go, oh, there it goes.
Game over. He's going to stink now.
I'd be like, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 And I would just eat too much and just get in a little coma and be staring at my father and be going, why did you eat that, you moron?
Speaker 2
I was about to say, you inspired an entire generation to get on the golf course, man. I promise you you did.
I was one of the kids.
Speaker 2 We used to go up to the public course all the time and just wanted to absolutely hammer him and hit him with the happy Gilmore swing. And I would say
Speaker 2 we were hockey players growing up. So that
Speaker 2 the movie
Speaker 2
extra hard. Yeah.
It was so hard, man.
Speaker 2 I know both you guys remind me of my friends so much growing up.
Speaker 2 Like, if you met my friends what you did you actually saw a few at the you two show right that was awesome man oh how cool was that concert that was incredible what a name but it was more fun seeing you there buddy we love seeing you no that was like I was telling Trav I've told him before I told him reminded him again today I have not been starstruck like much in my life and seeing all of you guys next to me like the entire ensemble especially you it was like man what the where the fuck am i at right now
Speaker 2 That was cool, man. It's insane, man.
Speaker 2
I was like, I came here to watch YouTube and I saw every person that like I ever looked up to like in like all of the best shows, all the best movies. Like, it was so cool.
It was awesome.
Speaker 2
Thank you, man. Well, we love seeing you too, bud.
We talked about you flying home that night. Anyways, that was a fun, fun time.
But you, both you boys remind me of
Speaker 2
exact dudes I hung out out with growing up. And you, you two guys, the guys, they would protect me.
I was a little bit of a wise guy.
Speaker 2 And I had a couple of boys like you always around making sure I didn't get beat up too much.
Speaker 2 Jason, speaking of kind of like being in a room where you're like, how the fuck did I get here? Was there ever a moment like that early on for you where you're just like, how
Speaker 2
did it happen so fast? How did I get here? Yes. What is this? Yes.
Yes.
Speaker 2 I don't remember anything.
Speaker 2 Saturday Night Live, that kind of did it to you.
Speaker 2
Every week you'd meet superstars that you grew up with, Dan Akro, like all the original SNL cast. We got to meet so many of those cast members, and then just comedians we all loved growing up.
Then
Speaker 2 rock stars,
Speaker 2 we got to meet
Speaker 2
Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen and everybody we talked about, all of a sudden we were in the room shooting the shit with him. It was incredible.
That's awesome, man.
Speaker 2
Before we get off of Happy Gilmore, though, I'm actually curious. I'm not familiar with how the original thought process of the movie came about.
Oh, okay. Yeah.
And I'm a little, I'm pretty curious.
Speaker 2 Like, how, like, was it just you just messing around on a on a golf course and it kind of connecting the dots or what? It was, it was my dad, like I said, he liked golf.
Speaker 2
We used to go to the driving range a lot. And I had a great friend, Kyle McDonough, who played, ended up playing pro hockey.
A great hockey player. In New Hampshire, it's a big hockey town.
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2
Hell yeah. Yeah.
So, so Kyle came out with me and my dad, and he didn't play much golf, but he was banging him. We were young, maybe ninth grade or something, something like that.
Speaker 2 And he was banging him. My father kept saying, man, you hockey players, there's something about your wrist or the way you turn or something like that.
Speaker 2 And I just was like, I think I was in college or finishing up college or just maybe 23. And I...
Speaker 2 thought, man, man, that'd be pretty funny to see a guy with a hockey mentality have such a big hit that he gets up, gets on the tour.
Speaker 2
And I remember calling my dad and telling my dad about it and going, What do you think? And he was like, It could be pretty good. We'll see.
You know, we'll see. We'll see.
Speaker 2 But me and my buddy Hurley, who I write all the movies with, we would write that and we'd call my dad and say, Does this make sense? And golf, do you, when you put, what do you think?
Speaker 2
Like, and it's all in the hips and stuff like that. That was my dad.
I would say, oh my god. What is it? He said, it's all in the hips, baby.
It's all in the hips.
Speaker 2 And that's why we wrote that shit, you know. Chubs.
Speaker 2 What's in store with the sequel? What do you like? I don't know, without giving away too much, obviously, but like, what are we, what are we looking for here? Well,
Speaker 2
first of all, Travis, we're going to have fun because the scene you're doing is with so many great golfers. It's going to be amazing.
You're going to be funny as hell. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2
The movie itself, it just picks up from an older guy who's, you know, played golf a long time. Some stuff goes on in his life.
He's a little, he's different.
Speaker 2 Things are, he's, he's a bit of a mess when you meet Happy. And
Speaker 2
then we kind of try to get his life cooking again. Wonderful.
I love it, man. I think it's cool.
It's going to be,
Speaker 2 I mean, we're trying to make you laugh the whole time, but it's got a
Speaker 2
vibe to it. If you're doing it, it's going to be fucking great.
And I didn't see what you're doing.
Speaker 2
You were on Fallon letting everybody know that you've been waiting for the right storyline. You've been waiting to feel the moment of it and to do it right.
Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2
We got all the trust in the world. You're going to bring happy back and make him lovable again, man.
Thank you, bro. Thank you.
I love you.
Speaker 2
I don't want anyone to get let down. So you got that in the back of your head.
You just want to make it
Speaker 2 as good as you're capable. Me and my pal, I mean, we were just in the room.
Speaker 2 just sit every line we're going are we sure we sure we sure about this one all right this is good we let's move you know we're just examining everything we just just want it to be as as cool as possible the original uh got me on the golf course and also got me in the batting cages doing i probably shouldn't be doing
Speaker 2 but toughening up you did that just toughening it up see man i knew you you could handle that i would run i'd run from anything in the world of six
Speaker 2 how fast of a ball was hitting you it's like 56 feet you're crazy man it's funny i was the guy in little league when i got hit by a pitch i just rolled in the chalk for a fucking 45 minutes Oh!
Speaker 2 You got to wear it. You got to wear it.
Speaker 2
Don't rub. Don't rub it.
Yeah, that's funny. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 2
Yeah, boys, did you play Little League baseball too? Oh, no, you know, everything, man. Everything sports related.
It was like the backyard was like a sports complex.
Speaker 2 We would go up and get all the used equipment from Play It Again Sports, and my dad would get like everything for like $20.
Speaker 2 And he would just get the equipment, put it in our hands, and let us have some fun with it, man.
Speaker 2 And so every day was getting home from school just so you could play sports, right?
Speaker 2
Exactly. Exactly.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 It's all we know, man. It's all we know.
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 2 Mom and dad, mom and mom, dad and dad, whatever. Parents, are you about to spend five hours in the car with your beloved kids this holiday season? Driving to old Granny's house? I'm setting the scene.
Speaker 2 I'm picturing screaming, fighting, back-to-back hours of the K-pop Demon Hunter soundtrack on repeat.
Speaker 2
Well, when your ears start to bleed, I have the perfect thing to keep you from rolling out of that moving vehicle. Something for the whole family.
He's filled with laughs. He's filled with rage.
Speaker 2 The OG Green Gronk, give it up for me, James Austin Johnson, as the Grinch.
Speaker 2 And like any insufferable influencer these days, I'm bringing my crew of lesser talented friends along for the ride with A-list guests like Gronk, Mark Hamill, and the Jonas Brothers, whoever they are.
Speaker 2
There's a little bit bit of something for everyone. Listen to Tis the Grinch Holiday Podcast, wherever you get your podcasts.
Let's get to a little, uh, little, some more familiar questions here.
Speaker 2 Um, in case you uh aren't aware, Jason and I are not professional interviewers. Um, I don't even know how to be a professional outside of football.
Speaker 2
Um, we're just two big fans with a lot of fucking questions for you, man. As football players, we got to leave with this.
How many football guys come up to you and talk about the water boy, man?
Speaker 2 I hear Boucher a lot. Yeah,
Speaker 2 I'm very proud that I got to be Bobby Boucher. I have
Speaker 2 met a lot of great NFL
Speaker 2
fellas who have talked to me about Bobby and Bobby's mama and foosball. Just foosball.
Just foosball. Making sure mama don't find out.
I'm playing foosball, that kind of shit.
Speaker 2 Yes.
Speaker 2 Did you play? Did you play growing up? I played Pop Warner till
Speaker 2
12. I played till 12.
I was a quarterback. I was a quarterback in Pop Warner.
I was playing baseball, and then I was a pitcher, and I was 11. And
Speaker 2 Ken Stillman, the coach of the team, came over and talked to my parents and said, maybe Adam could be a quarterback. And my mother was like, oh, Adam doesn't play football.
Speaker 2
And my father was like, let him play. Because my father played football, actually.
And he was a linebacker.
Speaker 2 So then I got in there.
Speaker 2
I got on the team, played two years at Pop Warner, and it was amazing. So cool, man.
So freaking cool. Do you play any other sports? You play football, baseball? Baseball was my favorite.
Speaker 2 Basketball, I always played every sport.
Speaker 2 When I was young, I was decent.
Speaker 2 Then everybody got big and way stronger than me. So I became less and less of, you didn't notice me.
Speaker 2
Like when I played Babe Ruth baseball, I went from being, I was on the all-star team in Little League to like, I think Adam's on that team. I don't know.
You know, I was batten sixth.
Speaker 2 I went from baton second or third to batten sixth and seventh, and maybe deeper. The older I got, the worse I got.
Speaker 2
But you're still on the courts, man. I was about to say, yes.
Yes.
Speaker 2
Your skills on the court are iconic because you're just a facilitator. You just see the court.
You see things before they happen.
Speaker 2 You remind me of a guy like Patty Mahomes and how his game is on the court.
Speaker 2 Sweet behind the backer. That behind the backer.
Speaker 2 I have dreams.
Speaker 2 Backdoor bounce passes. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2
I'm all backdoor. That's all I ever talked to.
Because when I play, I always play with young dudes. And
Speaker 2
I always, if they're not moving, I always like whisper them. I go, you got to move, bro.
You got to cut that.
Speaker 2
Go back. You got to go.
Let it go. I'll fake up high.
Just cut down. You got to move, though, for me.
Because I ain't going to shoot. I got to get it to you.
Just a natural leader, baby. Yeah.
Speaker 2
I love it, man. It's so fun watching you in all those highlights, man.
Oh, man. You guys must have been fun on the basketball court grabbing rebounds.
Dude,
Speaker 2
Jason, you should beat my ass, literally. Not even in the game.
I would win the game, but it would be a brutal ass beating. Oh, yeah.
And I would just get thrown on the cement. I used to win
Speaker 2
until you hit puberty, I would whoop your ass. But then there was one day.
It's the last time we ever got in a fist fight. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2
He freaking is just driving the lane, and he's finally as tall as I am doing this stupid fucking bag. I had a mean hook.
And I can't see it. It was so buttery.
Speaker 2
It was so buttery. I had a right.
So I started fouling and just beating the crap out of him. But yeah, it's, yeah, I know I can play defense.
I can play some defense now. And there's minimal offense.
Speaker 2
I'll set picks. I will pick and rebound all day long.
That I see. That I know.
That's cool as hell, man. Yeah, you boys on the court must have been scary for the whole neighborhood.
Speaker 2 You told us about how Happy Gilmore got, how does, how did you create a Creole southern?
Speaker 2 Like, where did the inspiration? I'm not sure if you heard us. We were literally like, I don't know how he didn't win more awards for this.
Speaker 2
This was ridiculously good. This is before I had seen Life is Beautiful and Roberto Benini did a great job of that.
He did very good usually.
Speaker 2 He stepped it up for that shit.
Speaker 2
Yeah. Yeah, no, I wasn't getting Oscars.
I never thought of that stuff when I was doing Boucher,
Speaker 2 but
Speaker 2
I couldn't believe it. It was like we had this idea.
A water boy gets picked on a lot.
Speaker 2 You know, a coach thinks he could be, you know, sees him throw a nasty hit and then says, maybe you should be on the team. That was kind of
Speaker 2
the idea. And we were like, let's make him from the south.
Let's make him Cajun. And then we just went from there, man.
We just, I don't know how it happened. We just filled out a script like that.
Speaker 2 So good. So good.
Speaker 2
It probably felt right as it came together, too. You're just like, man, this is coming together so smooth.
Because it's
Speaker 2
start to finish, that thing is perfect. Oh, dude.
I mean, we were so excited writing that. Thank you.
Thanks for all these compliments, guys. Honestly, I love you.
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 But so I remember with The Water Boy, we wanted that he had a very protective mama. And
Speaker 2 there was this movie, Carrie.
Speaker 2 It was
Speaker 2 a terrifying movie. And it was
Speaker 2 an over-protective mom who didn't want...
Speaker 2 her daughter to be around anything too
Speaker 2 heavy.
Speaker 2 And anyways, so we kind of wrote a mom like that that's overprotective to Bobby. And so he had to sneak around and play his foosball.
Speaker 2 It's so good, man.
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 2
The breath of which, like, you did SNL, the comedy era that you were a part of was just so strong. It almost makes it unfair for modern-day comedy, man.
Well, I mean,
Speaker 2
I watch these young guys now, and they are incredible. I love so many young comedians.
I really do. And the Saturday Night Live cast after ours, in the beginning, when you first leave,
Speaker 2
and you see the next cast, you're like, hey, what about us? We were this and that. But the older I got, now I'd watch every cast.
I'd be like, fuck, these guys are incredible.
Speaker 2
And the men and women on the show, and the way they handle themselves, I was like, oh, shit, man. I wish I had another crack at that because I'd do better next time.
I like these guys.
Speaker 2 Anyways,
Speaker 2
it was lucky. Lucky.
Our era, we were all best friends.
Speaker 2
Me and my buddy, just like you guys are with your teammates. And now we get to watch the youth be funny.
Do you have any like skit?
Speaker 2 Like, what was your favorite sketch or the one that you think is like the most underrated from your time in SNL? I mean, honestly, fellas, you know, you guys both did the show. You guys were great.
Speaker 2
I saw you that fucking weekend. Correct, James, when you came back, I was telling you how fucking great.
I mean, you were so
Speaker 2 cool, confident as fuck out there, funny as shit. You guys, honestly, you guys remind me so much of my boys growing up.
Speaker 2 That's why when I saw you on the show, I was like, fuck, it would be like if my friend Dave Kinner hosted the show.
Speaker 2 It was just kind of like cool fucking dudes who know everything, no comedy, no sports, know everything, know how to be decent to their families.
Speaker 2
I fucking loved watching you out there. Just channeling my inner sandman and Farley, baby.
There you go. Yes.
Yes. Oh, my God.
You would have loved Farley.
Speaker 2
He would have loved you guys, man. Farley was a fucking great football player, by the way.
Heck yeah. Yeah.
Heck yeah. A little
Speaker 2
Marquette rugby, too, baby. Abs actually, exactly.
And ready to fight, by the way.
Speaker 2
A couple of drinks that he was ready to go. Ready to throw down.
For sure.
Speaker 2
It was honestly kind of like when he had a couple in him, we were like, calm the fuck down, bro. Let's not do this.
No one else can fight like you.
Speaker 2
So good, man. I like it as sore as.
Yes. That was one of my favorite ones, dude.
Oh, you like it as Jews? The Jews is good. Yeah.
Speaker 2 that was good that was this guy robert smigel who's one of the
Speaker 2 greatest of all time he's a great writer and a great performer he plays triumph the the dog you know the insult heck yeah that dude he he wrote so many great skits and um he he wrote the juice skit and and we got to walk around and go you leg of the juice yeah you like it that's good i get it

Speaker 2
51st Dates, and she's like, dad, come watch. I go, I don't need to watch me.
And she's like, watch this. Look how sweet you are.
I go,
Speaker 2 and then I told her, I go,
Speaker 2
I got to be honest with you. I remember Drew saying all that stuff.
I don't remember me even talking. Like, it's like, I look back at this shit.
Speaker 2
I don't even fucking remember seeing to see. I'm like, oh.
Oh, we did that? I didn't even remember that place.
Speaker 2 Oh, boys.
Speaker 2 Have you been someone that like you like to watch everything that you have? I mean, I'm sure nowadays you're just you're so engulfed and you're in the edit and like directing it and everything, right?
Speaker 2 Yes, yes, yes. I've done that so long now that once we're done and the movie comes out, I kind of probably don't watch it
Speaker 2 for a few years.
Speaker 2 If it's on TV, I'll see it for a minute, but that's usually it.
Speaker 2
You stay with shit for like a year. You go, all right, I don't need to fucking see that anymore.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 I couldn't, I can't really watch anything that I do when it's when it's being recorded but i have so much goddamn fun doing stuff like snl and just like the the the comedy stuff that um i don't need to watch it i was so fulfilled doing it that energy yeah yeah that energy is just so fulfilling that i don't want to ruin it by by critiquing myself i know i know you definitely You can look at your shit after and go, oh, I thought I was better than that.
Speaker 2 What the fuck was I doing there?
Speaker 2
I got a lot of that. Believe me, I got shit from when I was young that my kids show me.
I go, I don't want to know that fucking exists. Holy shit, that was insane.
Speaker 2 I watched the monologue because that was a moment that I wanted to remember forever. And like, I'd like, just being on that fucking stage was the cool.
Speaker 2
Being behind that door and being on that stage and being in that studio was just so iconic. And you fucking walked out like so.
Relaxed, man. How about being behind that fucking door? Dude.
And
Speaker 2 your heart's pounding through your chest, like, holy shit, it's happening, right? Yeah, and just don't you, Travis, don't fall down these fucking steps. Do not fall down these steps.
Speaker 2
You are live, dude. You are live.
You are.
Speaker 2
That was nice. I was about to say, you should have seen him in the first rehearsal.
I was there the day before watching him kind of get ready. And he comes out that door and he like starts choking up.
Speaker 2
And I'm like, there's nobody here. This ain't live.
Like, what are we choking up for?
Speaker 2 And he was saying exactly coming, like, standing behind that door, seeing the signatures all of that like until you hit him and it's just like such a moment so totally
Speaker 2 jason's been beating my ass up my whole life so i'm a crybaby anyways i just i get really really i'm engulfed and in when i'm when i'm in on something i'm so fucking in on it and it just took it over man yeah it just took me over it it did yeah get you teary-eyed i had some of that i hosted the show again like around six years ago and um same kind of feel i'd walk around on a thursday two days before the fucking shit the show.
Speaker 2 And then I was getting teary-eyed and looking and so many memories and so many greats that have been there and musical acts and fucking, you just think of when you were a little kid and all the shit, all the joy that place has brought you.
Speaker 2
It's the best, man. Yeah, you're in there forever now.
Both of you guys got to kill on that shit. I love it, man.
You more than anybody I've ever watched has like. It's not that you stayed the same.
Speaker 2 Like, I know you've evolved, but you've been so authentic in everything you've done.
Speaker 2 Like, from SNL SNL to the movies, the stand-up, the one that just came out, like between what you wear, the people involved in it. Like it's all just so authentically.
Speaker 2
How have you, I don't know, has this been like, how do you do that? Same way as you guys would are doing your lives. Same shit.
You feel comfortable with certain people. Yeah.
Speaker 2 The same wavelength you're on. What makes you guys happy? What makes you click
Speaker 2 with teammates or just fucking, you know, offseason the guys you hang out with.
Speaker 2 That's kind of like what I got with my buddies when we make the movies and we sit in a room and write the shit and have a
Speaker 2 similar sensibility. So I guess that's why we all do it together.
Speaker 2 Were you a Belushi and Aykroyd?
Speaker 2 Yes.
Speaker 2 Like going into it, did you have the guys where you were like, man, if I could just somehow be as funny as that guy? Well, I'll tell you, you never fucking think you're as good as the cast before you.
Speaker 2 Yeah. So like, yes, Belushi, Aykroyd.
Speaker 2
I mean, he became like a guy that we hung out with. We got to have, I loved him so much, but, and he treated us so great.
So awesome. It's kind of like fucking Andy Reid.
Speaker 2 Just you have this respect for the fucking guy and what he's seen.
Speaker 2
And when he talks to you, you kind of go, yes, yes, yes, yes. You feel like you get knowledge all the time.
And fucking
Speaker 2
the castmates before you, you feel the same shit. You're just like, whatever they say, there's no reason for me to talk unless they ask me to talk.
And that's about it. I know that feeling.
Speaker 2 Got that with Dana Carvey. Got that with all the guys, Dennis Miller, all the guys who were older than us, and
Speaker 2 Jan Hooks, and Victoria Jackson, and the whole cast that was there before us. John Lovis, we just fucking Kevin Nealon, all those guys.
Speaker 2 Whatever they had to say,
Speaker 2
we were loving it. Just a sponge, man.
Yes, exactly. Exactly.
That's how you got to be. I'm a girl, Dad.
My oldest is four. so I got a ways to go.
Yes. One, do you have any advice?
Speaker 2 And two, when should I, I mean, they've seen some of your stuff, but when should I really start exposing them to the sand, man? That's good, man. I think at that age, yeah, there's no rush.
Speaker 2 No rush to get to me.
Speaker 2 I got some animated movies that I feel kind of comfortable telling somebody, yeah, maybe you can watch. you know, Hotel Chancellor or Leo or something like that.
Speaker 2 I go, yeah, you'll feel all right there.
Speaker 2 But I got to tell you, I have fucking three-year-olds come up to me and talk about Billy Madison. You know, they do say, are you Billy Madison? I say, yes.
Speaker 2 They go, well, why do you not look like him anymore? I go, well, Billy Madison's been fucking eating.
Speaker 2
He's a little hungry lately. But it'll all happen.
My own kids, I don't throw my stuff at them too quick.
Speaker 2 It just happens.
Speaker 2 They haven't seen a few of the filthy ones yet. And let's hope that they don't need to see that stuff.
Speaker 2 too good yeah well i actually saw you um take the girls to uh to the taylor swift uh premiere yes at the amc theaters that was by the way what a girl what a girl
Speaker 2 what a i mean
Speaker 2 she means
Speaker 2 dude she means so much to our house since the kids i think i was shooting like grown-ups or that's my boy or something in massachusetts and we listened to and the kids were little and we were listening to taylor swift and listening to every song.
Speaker 2 It was one of the first times
Speaker 2 that you listened to every song on the record. Like when I was a kid, I think the Beatles you did that with, maybe Elton John,
Speaker 2 you do every tune. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2
Start to finish. You know, when he start to finish, it's not like three hits, and you go, all right, let me skip.
Fucking Taylor in our house, every tune, they knew every word.
Speaker 2 I loved listening to her in the car.
Speaker 2 I love what she had to say, every message, every melody, just the production, how cool she was, what she meant to young girls, what she means to women, what she means to guys doing the right thing in life throughout the year.
Speaker 2 Saturday Night Live, saw the kids there, took her time, hung out with them, and then at
Speaker 2 her premiere for the movie, she talked to the kids and talked to them about their movie.
Speaker 2
You know, they did this Bop Mitzvah movie, and she talked about what she liked in it, and she just floors my family. So cool, man.
Floors them.
Speaker 2 Like I said, somebody asked me, who do you get nervous around? I said, I do get nervous around Taylor Swift because I don't want to fucking blow it for my kids and say something stupid.
Speaker 2 So I'm just like, shit, she means so much to my fucking house. I better say the right thing here.
Speaker 2
She was so grateful that you took the girls up there, man. So it was an absolute blast.
She's lifetime forever, along with the whole world. She just means so much.
I appreciate that, brother.
Speaker 2 And you being together and you being, you guys, you're, I mean, that first, when you guys first started dating my guy, it was my family like, yes, look how good they are.
Speaker 2 He's a gentleman.
Speaker 2 And she's having so much fun with it. Like, anytime Taylor's laughing with you, my whole fucking family is like, hi, five.
Speaker 2
So good, man. You got to be sweating over here.
We got to see that dog behind you, dude.
Speaker 2 Come here, baby.
Speaker 2 Did you just say that dog's name is Bagel? Yeah, bagel is
Speaker 2
such a good name. That is such a good name.
I've had a bunch of bulldogs over the years. I've had a meatball, matzo ball, pickles, and this is a babu, and here's a bagel.
But bagel's adoring me now.
Speaker 2
Come here, buddy. What the fuck? You want me to pick you up? Come here, buddy.
Say hi. Oh, God.
Speaker 2 I'm so pumped to see you. Let's go.
Speaker 2 There he is. Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2
There he is. All right.
Oh, yeah. Get out of here.
Go out.
Speaker 2
Bulldog. Yeah, he's been a big dog.
Yeah, exactly. The Georgia Bulldog.
I don't know how he can handle that heat. Yeah, dude.
Speaker 2
They don't like the heat, breathe. I know.
Every time he's out there, my good lord.
Speaker 2
He is not in his element right now. They get the ice out for him.
They do the right thing. There we go.
Speaker 2
You worked with a lot of athletes in the past. You worked with Shaq, Michael Irvin, Kevin Garnett recently, and Anthony Edwards recently.
All great. Do you feel like there's
Speaker 2 an avenue of athletes being comfortable on the screen or well you guys you guys anybody bombed it basically is what I'm asking oh no
Speaker 2 no I mean I'm showing no names no names no I don't got anybody who I who left and I went oh what happened there man
Speaker 2 none of that shit man I love them all they all come and have fun we make sure whoever's doing you guys are like doing us favors I know I know you're you're you got a busy life and you're coming and you've got to make my fucking movies
Speaker 2 a thousand times better so we try to make sure anybody who comes by has a great time. It's a memorable time and try to get them in and out as quick as possible.
Speaker 2 Don't want anybody sitting and being bored.
Speaker 2 But no, I've got to meet so many greats over there.
Speaker 2 You guys,
Speaker 2 you grew up, I think there's some sort of connection to how fucking
Speaker 2
confident you are. And comedy, when you're being funny, it's...
It's usually if you're confident in what you're saying and committing to something.
Speaker 2 So if you ask an athlete, it's probably going to be a little bit better if you say it like this and
Speaker 2
be strong when you say it. Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Speaker 2
You're coachable. All you guys are coachable.
Yeah. There you go.
I was about to say, you got to be coachable in life, baby. You certainly do.
Speaker 2 How do you decide to make the jump from comedy guy to like more of like the dramatic stuff throughout your career? That was.
Speaker 2 Was it just like a challenge that you wanted to do? Or was it like?
Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2
It is that now. It's like that now.
When I was younger, I did a movie a long time ago called Punch Drunk Love, and that was just luck. Luck.
I was doing my comedies.
Speaker 2
Paul Thomas Anderson, who's this amazing guy, an amazing director, he wrote this movie for me and said, give it a shot. He believed in me, so I did it.
Nice.
Speaker 2 I've had a few of those where I work with these elite directors and kind of do my best for them. And it's, it's different than what I do.
Speaker 2 I, you know, like water boy and shit like that, we have fun writing that shit and doing that shit. And it's the best time we could ever have.
Speaker 2
But when it comes to serious stuff, I just don't want to let down. There's just like you guys don't want to let down the coach.
I don't want to let down the director.
Speaker 2
So I fucking just commit as hard as I can. Heck yeah.
Accountability, baby. Exactly.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 So we got to jump into your, we always do a Mount Rushmore of
Speaker 2
like Jason did Mount Rushmore. Mount Rushmore centers.
Centers. I did Mount Rushmore.
Mount Rushmore tight ends. Yes.
Who is your Mount Rushmore of
Speaker 2 his characters on here? Yeah.
Speaker 2 Of your characters.
Speaker 2
Yeah, who is your Mount Rushmore of your characters, you think? Yeah. Shit.
I never thought about this. It kind of changes what which
Speaker 2 I love some of them one day and then the next day I'm like, why the fuck did I do that? But all right. Let's see.
Speaker 2 Billy Madison's always got to be up there because it was kind of the first movie that they
Speaker 2
let me kind of have a little control. Yes.
Me and my buddies and Tamara Davis was the director. We kind of, we were young
Speaker 2
and we believed in it. So we got that done.
I love Bobby Boucher.
Speaker 2
Shit, man. And I love being that guy.
I love doing movies with Drew, Barry Moore, and with Jennifer Anderson. So
Speaker 2
that was just, I can't pick, I don't know what my guys' names are in those, but whoever I was in those right now, I guess, yeah, I don't remember at all. I know Robbie Hart was one of them.
but
Speaker 2 I love making that. Whatever I did with those guys, I'd like to put on.
Speaker 2 I'm with you. And I don't mind putting Lil Nikki up there, too.
Speaker 2 There you go.
Speaker 2 One of my sneaky favorites you were, bro. Seriously.
Speaker 2 Another one where you just engulfed, you just brought us all in with this.
Speaker 2 Yeah.
Speaker 2 It's so good, man. The sideways face.
Speaker 2
Oh, man. I remember Nicholson.
I met Jack Nicholson before we did our movie together, and he said, now, before we start this,
Speaker 2
what type of movie is it? Is it Lil Nikki? And he goes, hey. And I got to go, oh, Nicholson just did it.
Nikki to me. That felt nice.
That's so cool.
Speaker 2
That's so cool. Oh, I'll tell you what, that's probably the most epic Mount Rushmore I've ever fucking heard.
Oh, yeah.
Speaker 2
That's so goodly, dude. Tom, I got to ask.
Little Nikki up there was so much.
Speaker 2 This isn't on the rundown, but I want to know, who's your Mount Rushmore comedians? Like on your list? Well, my guys, when I was young,
Speaker 2 I love so many now.
Speaker 2
Of course. It's all bro.
It's much broader than it was. But as a kid, what fucking connected me the most, Rodney Danesfield was my, that was my number one guy.
Speaker 2
Love Rodney. Love Caddy Shaq.
Love Back to School. Yeah.
Speaker 2
Back to school. Yeah.
Yeah, baby. The best.
The best. And I got to meet him and hang with him.
Fucking loved him.
Speaker 2
And shit, when I was young, I loved the the Jerry Lewis, the Abbott Costello, the Marx Brothers. I love that stuff because I would watch that with my parents.
Had a great time with that.
Speaker 2
Then I loved, you know, Belushi and Aykroyd was power in my house. Eddie Murphy.
Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 2
That was kind of it, too. Eddie, fucking stand-ups.
You know, Stephen Wright was a big deal to me. Cheech and John.
Fucking love Chi-Chi Chong.
Speaker 2 Yeah, baby.
Speaker 2
Yeah, yeah. I had a million of them.
Actually, the special one, the last song, I tried to throw a lot of the people who meant something to me in there. I miss this
Speaker 2 stuff.
Speaker 2 There's this comedy record, Derek and Clive. You guys ever hear of them?
Speaker 2 It was
Speaker 2
Dudley Moore who played Arthur. You remember the movie Arthur, the English guy, he drank a lot of booze, funny as shit.
He was in a comedy
Speaker 2
duo with this guy, Peter Cook, and he had these albums that they used to curse a lot. They'd get drunk together and be funny together.
And somehow my father got it for me.
Speaker 2 And I was in like fucking sixth, seventh grade listening to that going oh my god this is the best so they had a big influence on on my cursing I believe
Speaker 2 we're football podcasts we got to get into a little bit of your your QB you already told everybody that you were kind of a pop warner QB but the longest yard man yes
Speaker 2 how much like prep in the NFL were you just out there winging it knowing that you still had the skill set or was did you actually
Speaker 2 you take some pointers from some guys I was scared man. I was, by the way,
Speaker 2 fellas, when I was at QB, I dropped so many snaps. I used to, I used to, my guy, my coach used to go, would you get your hands in there? I was so
Speaker 2
I didn't get in there. I was as a center, you got to feel the pressure.
You got to feel the pressure. I apologize to you and everybody before you, Jim Otto, everybody.
Speaker 2 I made a mistake.
Speaker 2 I felt so bad getting my hand on that cup, but when I fucking, when I got my hands in there deep, man, It always worked out.
Speaker 2 But yeah, no, I took Sean Salisbury, who was nice enough.
Speaker 2
A great guy. He fucking every day would throw the ball with me, taught me how to throw it a little farther, how to be a little more confident with it.
Because when I was Pop Warner,
Speaker 2
it would be like straight T26 on break, on set, straight T26. All right, ready, break.
Then I'd get out there, my little baby voice, I would throw that quarterback thing on.
Speaker 2 I never knew that bullshit.
Speaker 2
I was bullshit when I did it. I never sounded cool.
But I remember Salisbury would always yell at me, like, you got to command that team. Get out there and fucking be a be a man about this.
Speaker 2 This is so fucking fresh. Sorry, Bagel.
Speaker 2 In 97, you wrote a song called The Lonesome Kicker. Yes.
Speaker 2 Loved it. Would you ever write a song about any other position or has that come up in your mind? Any other sport
Speaker 2 like that? Or what, man? Shit, yeah. I mean,
Speaker 2 if something fresh comes up, for sure, man. But we did, we did fucking
Speaker 2 have the best time. NFL Films helped make a video with us.
Speaker 2
I got to hang out with a bunch of Steelers, Cordell Stewart, the bus. Yeah.
They were all in the video. We hung out there.
Speaker 2
I've had a lot of dreams come true, but I met a lot of you. you dudes, and I love you all.
You're the best, dude. Thank you.
Well, let's get to some no-dumb questions with the Sandman himself.
Speaker 2
I'm ready. The segment is called No Dumb Questions because there's no such thing as dumb questions, Adam.
Just dumbass people like me and Jason.
Speaker 2
Would you mind helping us with just one, baby? Please, please make me a part of it. Let's do this.
All right. From Hey Buck Nasty, whatever that may mean.
Speaker 2 Out of all the movies that the Sandman is dropping,
Speaker 2 we still want to know what's happening in Bobby Boucher and Vicky Valencourt's life. Did Bobby ever make it to the NFL? Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 Well, first of all, the good news is Bobby saw Vicki's boobies and he liked them.
Speaker 2
Loved them, actually. Loved him.
He said like, but in that moment, he loved him. He loved him.
Speaker 2 And thank you very much, Vicky Valancourt, for that.
Speaker 2 He did go to the NFL, I believe,
Speaker 2 played a couple of years.
Speaker 2 Mama was just
Speaker 2 mama wanted him home. So we had two good, good years running around with
Speaker 2
the teams. You know, saw some shit.
He probably shouldn't have seen.
Speaker 2
Things got a little crazy on occasion for Bobby, especially when they'd go to Vegas. And then he made himself back to mama and just fucking, you know, it's better off.
And then it's a beautiful story.
Speaker 2 Yeah. It's a beautiful story, baby.
Speaker 2
We had to at least figure out what happened, baby. Yeah, yeah.
Thanks. And that wraps it up with no dumb questions today.
Speaker 2 Man, honestly, Adam, we can't thank you enough for jumping on with this, brother.
Speaker 2 You are the goat of the comedy that we grew up on. And I can't thank you enough, man.
Speaker 2 You shot me the text after SNL, and it was like the full life circle moment of seeing, just feeling like I'm a part of something as cool as the Sandman.
Speaker 2 So I appreciate you even jumping on, having some fun down memory lane with us.
Speaker 2
Everybody, make sure you check out the Netflix special he's got coming out, man. Appreciate that.
And boys, on your end, on your end, both of you are so fucking happy for everything you guys got.
Speaker 2 All you've done. Congratulations, Jason, on
Speaker 2
your, I know you're going to have a great time announcing and doing a new start. Dude, you kicked so much ass.
The fucking speech you gave when you guys won was unbelievable. The funniest.
Speaker 2 The best.
Speaker 2 The best.
Speaker 2 Everyone loves you. And Travis, so fucking great watching you dominate out there and just bulldoze and soft hands and just a stud, always in the right spot.
Speaker 2
I don't know how the fuck you get so open or when you're not open, it doesn't matter. They still, he's going to get it to you.
You'll make shit happen. Both of you guys.
So, man, by the way, Jason,
Speaker 2 you know the cross-eyed guy in all my movies? Yes.
Speaker 2 He's in the special. He's in the
Speaker 2
coffee. Exactly.
The biggest fucking Eagles fan loves you.
Speaker 2 Loves you.
Speaker 2 And when you guys fucking won, holy shit was their relief around that fucking guy's depression. Every time the Eagles wouldn't win on a Sunday, I'd be like, will you fucking wake up?
Speaker 2
You've been sleeping for fucking 20 hours. It's over.
We're on to next week. But you winning the Super Bowl was the greatest, buddy.
He loves you. We all love you.
Both of you and your family.
Speaker 2
Say hi to your parents and say hi to both your families. And Taylor, tell her we love her too.
You know that. You're the best, dude.
Absolutely best. We won't take any more of your time, man.
Speaker 2
This sand, man, ladies and gentlemen. Right on, boys.
We'll keep this computer on. Don't worry.
Oh, you're the man, dude. Okay, peace.
