Speaker 1 Thank you to our partner, Boarshead. Ooh, a little meat.

Speaker 1 The end of the season is in full swing, and you know what that means. Time to eat meat.

Speaker 1 Millions of fans are turning their homes into game day headquarters every weekend. Gosh, and whether you're hosting a watch party at home or tailgating before a big game, you gotta feed the crowd.

Speaker 1 You gotta feed the crowd. That's where Boar's Head comes in the clutch.
Yes. Their platters are literally a game changer.
We're talking premium meats, cheeses, dips, and more.

Speaker 1 What's your go-to deli platter, Jason? I mean, any of them.

Speaker 1 Dude, anything that combines crackers, meat, cheese, and mustard, it doesn't matter what kind it is. You got Pepper Jack.
You got Provolone.

Speaker 1 You got cheddar.

Speaker 2 You got beer cheese.

Speaker 1 You got salami. You got kilbasa.
There you go. Don't be all archy with me.
Ritz crackers. Maybe you could do some of those like whole grain thick boys that are around.
Those are kind of nice too.

Speaker 1 If you want to be kind of different, you go with like a wheat thin. If you really want to elevate your game day spread and score big with your entire home gating, that's tailgating at home.

Speaker 1 Visit your local Boarshead Deli. They'll hook you up with a ready-made platter.
Ooh. Or you can build on your own.
There you go. Either way, you're upgrading your game day with some serious flavor.

Speaker 1 Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905. How about it? It's just a great name, too.
Over 100. Yeah, you know what you're getting.
Boarshead.

Speaker 3 This is a real good story about Bronx and his dad, Ryan, real United Airlines customers.

Speaker 1 We were returning home, and one of the flight attendants asked Bronx if he wanted to see the flight deck and meet Captain Andrew.

Speaker 5 I got to sit in the driver's seat.

Speaker 1 I grew up in an aviation family, and seeing Bronx kind of reminded me of myself when I was that age.

Speaker 3 That's Andrew, a real United pilot.

Speaker 1 These small interactions can shape a kid's future.

Speaker 5 It felt like I was the captain.

Speaker 1 Allowing my son to see the flight deck will stick with us forever. That's how good leads the way.

Speaker 1 All right, we jumping on. Yes.

Speaker 1 We did it.

Speaker 1 We made it. We made it.
Yeah, boys. You always got the fly of shit on, dude.
Everybody always tells you. I know it.

Speaker 2 This shirt here, I think it's been three days in a row.

Speaker 1 I'm wearing it.

Speaker 2 I'm not, that's the only thing I'm not good at is changing.

Speaker 1 You can wear that thing to dinner. You wear it to the courts.
You wear that thing everywhere, man. Isn't that pathetic?

Speaker 1 That's the best.

Speaker 2 I started doing that only because I protecting, hiding these tits. The tits got pissed, bro.

Speaker 2 Can't help it.

Speaker 1 Welcome back to New Heights, ladies and gentlemen. Season three.

Speaker 1 Woo!

Speaker 1 Man, so much has changed. Has it? No, not really.

Speaker 1 But one thing for sure, and that's we are a Wondry show produced by Wave Sports and Entertainment now, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 1 That is correct. And brought to you today by NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV.

Speaker 1 How about that, man? I love YouTube TV. You sit there and watch it right down your phone.
Dude, it's pretty magical.

Speaker 1 This NFL season, you can watch every game, every Sunday, when you bundle NFL Sunday Ticket and YouTube TV. They are making it easier and easier to watch football.
And I love it. It's the best.

Speaker 1 Absolutely love it. Terms and

Speaker 1 whatever the fuck that word is. Embargoes.
Embargoes. I don't know what that means.
There you go. Terms and embargoes apply, which means you better fucking figure it out.

Speaker 1 Isn't embargo something with like trade? What does that have to do with? Google that. It better

Speaker 1 figure out the definition of that before you buy anything. That's all I got out of that.
We are your hosts. I am Travis Kelsey.
This is my big brother, Jason Kelsey, out of Cleveland Heights, Ohio.

Speaker 1 Cincinnati Bearcat alums, as you know, subscribe on YouTube, Wondry Plus, or wherever you get your podcasts. And follow the show on all social media at New Heights Show with 1S.
All right.

Speaker 1 Jason, we're finally back. Let the people know what we got coming up.
That's right. We're finally back.
Season three is officially kicking off. We've left you guys waiting for long enough.

Speaker 1 I know you guys have been dying to see all of the activities and different shenanigans we've been up to, as well as catch up with the Chiefs, Eagles, and NFL Landscape.

Speaker 1 But you guys have probably already been keeping up because it's all over social media. We can't get away from it.
It's all over there.

Speaker 1 I know you guys are tired of seeing us, but you're going to have to deal with it

Speaker 1 because we can't even stop it at this point. Anything that happens goes on social media.
Anyways,

Speaker 1 we're going to get you guys caught up on everything that went down in Paris at the Olympics that Kylie and I went to. Pat Mahomes inventing new ways to throw a football, in case you missed it.

Speaker 1 Narrana Paul. And we're also got an incredible guest coming on this episode.
I mean, that's right.

Speaker 1 We're jumping this thing off.

Speaker 1 It's an iconic,

Speaker 1 just very talented person. And you're going to find out who it is.
Yeah. You're going to find out who it is.
There's clues on the screen right now. You probably already know.

Speaker 1 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 1 I mean, this is right up there. We should ruin this episode, though.
I've met this person once.

Speaker 1 I've met, we should just say his name because it's going to be.

Speaker 1 I've met this person one time. And let me tell you, I have not been starstruck by many people.

Speaker 1 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 1 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 1 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 do it.

Speaker 1 Nobody delivers them quite like Kim. So we're looking forward to talking to him.
But before we get to that, we got a little bit of new

Speaker 1 news coming. Off-season news.
New news is brought to you by our friends at NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. That's right.

Speaker 1 The first thing you've probably noticed is that we have a new home, and that is Wondering. That's right.

Speaker 1 Don't worry. It won't affect your guys' viewing of this once every week.
It's still going to drop every week on YouTube, wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Speaker 1 And now it will also be available on the Wondery app. That's right.

Speaker 1 We're increasing our distribution. More ways to view.
If you guys are tired of the commercials, I guess the Wondery, I think there's like a Wondery thing that you can like kind of skip them.

Speaker 1 Wonder plus subscribers can also listen early and ad-free. Plus, get access to exclusive bonus content.
So download the Wondery app and make sure you're subscribed and ready to roll, baby.

Speaker 1 Who doesn't love a little exclusivity? That's right. And to celebrate for a limited time, we're giving 92% of us a three-month subscription to Wondery Plus for free.
How about that?

Speaker 1 All right, now head over to wondery.fm slash new heights to redeem that free three-month subscription today.

Speaker 2 Some other new news for you guys.

Speaker 1 If you haven't already seen the commercial with Jason and Kylie, NFL Sunday Ticket got some new spokesmen. How about that? That's right.

Speaker 1 Kylie is actually one of the most natural actors I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 You, it's not as I'm kidding, you're great. What was it like shooting this with Kylie for the NFL Sunday ticket?

Speaker 1 No, I think obviously whenever you're doing something with somebody that you know, it makes it that much more comfortable.

Speaker 1 And for Kylie and I, we just kind of get to be goofballs together and it's a lot of fun. You started to show that age? You're starting to get bags under your eyes?

Speaker 1 No, it was just supposed to be like looking like eye black. I've never wore these things.

Speaker 1 Did it work? I don't I was only doing it for the commercial shoot.

Speaker 1 Did you see the difference afterwards it's supposed to be instant i think the under eye mass yeah i don't know do my eyes how do they look right now

Speaker 1 very it looks great jason nice you look fantastic it's very demure

Speaker 1 no it was awesome it was a lot of fun um the wonderful folks at youtube tv made it really easy

Speaker 1 We are big proponents of YouTube TV in the Kelsey household. We enjoy it.
We can use it anywhere, which

Speaker 1 makes it easier to run around with kids. And every once in a while, you know, we're not a big screen time, all-the-time family, but hey, sometimes you need a little screen time.
It helps.

Speaker 1 And I just like it because I can watch sports and I'm looking forward to the NFL season this year being able to participate for the first time, really, with NFL Sunday Ticket. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, I mean, you're going to be, you're going to need the knowledge to talk because it's, you're, you're obviously on the Monday night countdown this year. This is true.

Speaker 1 And then on top of that, it's like,

Speaker 1 are you going to use it as like practice to like maybe start calling games or something?

Speaker 1 I don't know if I could, I guess I could try that out. Nice.
Just in the confines of my own home. Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what I'm going to use it for.

Speaker 1 I'm probably going to use the multi-view. I'm probably going to use it to really be able to follow everything that's happening.

Speaker 1 I mean, I've used Sunday ticket occasionally when we don't play on Sunday in the past to watch games. Yeah.

Speaker 1 But I mean, usually Sunday is a travel day if you're playing on Monday, so the only day you get to really watch it is Thursday.

Speaker 1 I use it a lot last year when I was traveling because, like you said, you can watch it from your phone, which I was able to watch more Chiefs games last year on the road

Speaker 1 than ever before, which I was catching the Eagles games whenever we didn't play at the same time. And then I kind of like because you get the stat view, you get the key plays.

Speaker 1 You can kind of like watch it

Speaker 1 at a quicker rate, especially if it's a game in review that already happened.

Speaker 1 Are you going to get into fantasy football now? Are you a fantasy footballer? I've never been. I kind of might do it just to make me pay attention.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Because I feel like if you're doing fantasy football, you got to be in tune and knowing who to bench, who to sit, how my team's doing, who's injured.

Speaker 1 It kind of forces you to follow what's happening in the NFL landscape. Oh, yeah.
So I think it might, doing fantasy football might make me better on Monday night. So I'm thinking about maybe doing it.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I've never done fantasy football.
I think the leagues have already started, so you might be a little behind the eight ball here. How have they started? The season hasn't started.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure you draft your team before the games start. There's got to be a way I can start this.

Speaker 1 I mean, I'm not a fantasy football guy, but I'm pretty sure this is already. Drafts have already happened.
Okay. All right.
All right.

Speaker 1 Okay. Brandon's telling me right now.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Would I draft Travis? Yes, I would draft Travis, but apparently these drafts have already happened.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 All the professionals are saying, don't draft me without drafting Pat Mahomes.

Speaker 1 You draft both. Yeah, you got to, yeah, it's a dual thing.
Why is that?

Speaker 1 We're a team. You get double the points.
But you guys both probably go in the first round. I would imagine Pat's one of the higher picked ones.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't think quarterbacks, a lot of quarterbacks go in the first round. They don't go in the first round or they do?

Speaker 1 No, I don't think so because I think the quarterbacks, like you go a little later rounds, because

Speaker 1 you can find more quarterbacks, and you can find like skill players that are going to get you points week in, week out. Well, I know touchdowns.
I don't even podcast.

Speaker 1 I just, uh, I just, I mean, I don't even podcast. I don't even, I don't even, uh, I really don't podcast.
I'm not even sure what I'm doing here.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think I know that touchdowns are all that matter. So, I know, like, running backs are hot commodities, and like receivers or tight ends that score a lot of touchdowns are hot commodities.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'd imagine Jalen's pretty good with all the

Speaker 1 tush pushes into the end zone. That is correct, but I don't know how that translates to quarterbacks throwing touchdowns.
I suppose

Speaker 1 maybe that's why they go later. Yeah.
Brandon said RBs go first. Yeah.
Jason won't be in any fantasy leagues this year.

Speaker 1 Maybe you catch him next year. Yeah, I guess.
I guess I'll just like, I don't know, watch football. I'm in on that.

Speaker 1 Well, that does it for new news brought to you by our friends at NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. So make sure you guys sign up today, youtube.com slash nh.

Speaker 1 I think that stands for new heights, but that's youtube.com slash nh. All righty, let's get to a little training camp, Trav.
You've been off at Chiefs training camp for, what, a month now?

Speaker 1 Maybe a little bit longer? You guys reported, when did you guys report?

Speaker 1 The 19th.

Speaker 1 I reported on the 19th of August. August.

Speaker 1 So noted on the day before. Yeah, you reported way before that.
Yeah, I was halfway through July. So we're a little bit over a month in, officially three preseason games in.
Not right now.

Speaker 1 How you feeling, bud? How's the tube look? I'm not going to lie, man. I am excited as a magaza.
Yep.

Speaker 1 I am.

Speaker 1 Have you lost some of your facial hair?

Speaker 1 Yes. Yes.
Well, I always do the Andy Reid special, baby. Catu Bubba.

Speaker 1 It looks good. It looks clean.

Speaker 1 Thanks, bud. I grew out the hair, though.
I switched it up. I don't got the buzz cut.

Speaker 1 And I'm not as super trooper. I'm more of like kind of like a different character with the stash.

Speaker 1 But yeah, just having some fun with it. And

Speaker 1 while I'm at training camp, I really don't care how I look. I just want to be there and try and make it the most enjoyable experience ever.
I've officially spent an entire year of my life in St.

Speaker 1 Joe, Missouri. 12 years of

Speaker 1 sitting in the same dorm room over there at Missouri Western State University. Yeah,

Speaker 1 that's cool. It is.
It is.

Speaker 1 I made it. I made it.
I feel like I kind of go to jail every time I do this, but

Speaker 1 it's like a sanctuary at this point for me. It kind of like gets me in the headspace of I get to work on my craft and not think about anything else that's going on.

Speaker 1 And like, I can really tune up, you know, my

Speaker 1 athletic abilities, man. And I, yeah, I've learned to love it out there.
I really have. So I say this,

Speaker 1 and it doesn't sound appealing, but I really do love it out there.

Speaker 1 i really do and i i i i do find myself because i feel myself starting at a very low point and then working my way to being an nfl football player what do you love about st.

Speaker 1 Joe's well this year I love the weather it wasn't uh it wasn't aggressive we didn't have any like really aggressive rain days or like lightning or like tornado warnings to where we had to go inside I hate

Speaker 1 running on yeah hate running on turf especially throughout the preseason when you're really like adding the miles up and yeah so being outside in front of the fans,

Speaker 1 that happens as well when you go inside, you're not around the fans, and everybody that wants to enjoy training camp.

Speaker 1 And coming off of two Super Bowl runs there, it's pretty fun seeing Chiefs Kingdom show up week in, week out, and seeing some familiar faces like Rashid Wallace. Nice.
I did see Rashid Wallace.

Speaker 1 Heck yeah. How's he doing? Doing good? Oh, he's killing it.
He's killing him. He's making his rounds for his podcast.

Speaker 1 And then, yeah, he's always been a Chiefs fan, though.

Speaker 1 I think the world found out he was a Chiefs fan when he got signed to the Detroit Pistons.

Speaker 1 And they actually, I believe they went back-to-back,

Speaker 1 if I'm not mistaken. But

Speaker 1 he wore a Chiefs jersey and Chiefs hat while he's at his press day signing for the Pistons, man. There we go.
And if I just lied to everyone, I'm sorry. Yeah, well, who cares?

Speaker 1 It wouldn't be the first time. Shout out to that.
I'm sure that happens on this podcast.

Speaker 1 Pat Mahomes said he finally brought a TV. Did you bring a TV this year? No,

Speaker 1 TV. You can just watch it on your phone.
That's kind of where I'm at. What are you bringing? I'm not TV.
I'm not bringing TV. Whenever I'm in the

Speaker 1 play College Football 25, which I did jump on that. Yeah.
How is it? I did jump on that. It's awesome.
And I won a national championship with Cincinnati, which I always dreamed about doing.

Speaker 1 So you played so much that you went through an entire season of college football? Yeah. What is it? It's just like you're on there like 15 minutes a game.
And then, yeah,

Speaker 1 that didn't take that long. It's not like that much.
Yeah, it didn't take that long. It's fun, though, man.
It brought back great memories because that is all I used to freaking play.

Speaker 1 I used to have a guy on every single universe or every single team in college football, and uh, and sure enough, I mean, it's uh, it's like you're just you're a kid all over again.

Speaker 1 It puts me at a really uh simple state of uh simple state of mind. Let's get to the preseason a little bit.
You guys,

Speaker 1 uh, obviously, trying to three-peat this year, have made a lot of off-season acquisitions. Has anybody stood out to you throughout training camp practices, preseason games?

Speaker 1 I don't know. What did you learn about the Chiefs in this short stint before the season gets going? We do have a very similar team to last year.

Speaker 1 So it's been a fun training camp to kind of just build on that.

Speaker 1 It's the first time that we've really came into the season with the core group of guys that we had the year before. And don't get me wrong, we lost a few guys here and there.
Obviously, MVS and

Speaker 1 Sneed and Willie Gay.

Speaker 1 there were a bunch of guys that, or there were a few guys that ended up getting paid everywhere else, and I'm happy as hell for them.

Speaker 1 But we do have the nucleus, I think, still together here in KC.

Speaker 1 And it's been fun because it's a lot of guys that have practiced together for a really long time. For sure.
And when you have that, you have like...

Speaker 1 even better understanding of what they're doing on the other side of the ball.

Speaker 1 So now you have to get really creative and you have to be on top of your fundamentals and like be on the same page as the person next to you or on the same page as the quarterback even more than you typically would because you're just you're non-stop having to

Speaker 1 having to go against a guy that kind of knows or understands what you're trying to do. Right.
You know, so it's like when you talk about iron sharpens iron, it's like it's to the max.

Speaker 1 So I really feel like

Speaker 1 all the new guys that are coming in had to kind of like raise their level of focus and maturity. And and uh, and a lot of the young guys did.
It's been fun.

Speaker 1 Well, you guys didn't play that much in the uh preseason games, the starters, but you did play,

Speaker 1 and you did play enough for Pat to pull off something he's never done before. It included you, and it was a behind-the-back pass.
Yeah, man, Larry Bird, the big 33.

Speaker 1 It's a smooth operator right there, Magic Johnson style. Yeah, no, I motioned over, and I'm actually looking at Pat while I'm motioning over like, what did you say? Did you?

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 1 there's, here's the thing. When you're in preseason, you don't get a week to prepare for the game plan going into a preseason game.

Speaker 1 It's just like you have the entire 300, 400 plays that you put in and installed in training camp, and then you just, they take a few of them and put them in the game plan.

Speaker 1 So you got to really like go over your

Speaker 1 game plan.

Speaker 1 You don't spend as much time game planning specifically for your opponents, right? Exactly. I wasn't in tune with the game plan.

Speaker 1 And um pat mahomes had uh he had like something in the back of his head when i walked when i walked across the line of scrimmages like would you say that i didn't know what i was doing so he was gonna have to make something shake and that's why we love playing with pat mahomes ladies and gentlemen because even when you up he makes you right

Speaker 1 this is just a boot play uh naked um or is it oh This is a true read. This is a true, he's got the option to hand this off.
Yeah, the old RPO.

Speaker 1 So you were supposed to go to the flat right away and run this little rubber out potentially.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I could have gone that way. I could have just did what I did and then got the first down this way.

Speaker 1 But, you know,

Speaker 1 there's options. There's options in Andy Reid's offense.
And it's because of a guy like Pat Mahomes that you can, you know, run these different options.

Speaker 1 You see, just a little point to him right there. Like, ha ha ha, glad we're on the same page.

Speaker 1 I had no idea. I had no idea.
I felt Pat pull the football

Speaker 1 and start to roll out. And I was literally just going to start to run that way.
And like, oh, he like

Speaker 1 he might need my help in blocking. He might need my help to like be available.
So when I turned around, he was in mid, like behind the back pass, like a sports card.

Speaker 1 It was just like slow motion, and the ball was just floating to me. Sure enough, I knew it was third and short.
So I just made sure that

Speaker 1 I got the sticks there. When you guys ran this full speed, I thought you were like the side view, like little block down and come back out.
Like

Speaker 1 now that I'm watching this, it is a completely broken play.

Speaker 1 This is completely broken.

Speaker 1 Like I said,

Speaker 1 I screwed this one up. I did not look at Coach Reed after this play.

Speaker 1 I knew he would have probably just come here, son. Well, I don't think he was that mad.

Speaker 1 Matter of fact, there's a clip of him having zero reaction and just, that's business as usual between these guys. Now, Pat has pulled off the behind-the-back pass multiple times.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 I'm telling you,

Speaker 1 he's done it more times than once in practices. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And people have only seen it in terms of like training camp practices or like him just screwing around

Speaker 1 during practice on his side of the field with the other quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 To instinctually be able to do this is insane. It is.
It's insane. To have the

Speaker 1 cajones, to be able to just like throw something behind your back in traffic like that is insane. And Pat, he made a great point.
He's not going to do it just to do it.

Speaker 1 He's only going to do it when he needs to do it.

Speaker 1 It was going to be a weird angle if he would have threw it overhand or if he would have threw it regular because the defender was right in face.

Speaker 1 The defensive end was, yeah, the defensive end was making it difficult to have. You would have to go over top of him.
Exactly. And yeah, with people around me, that might not have been the best pass.

Speaker 1 So for him to instinctually know that he has the ability to do that he has the skill set to do that um and then to be able to do it in time man it's uh it's fun to play with yeah that was that was insanely cool to watch live what um

Speaker 1 is that typically the way it happens on like a pass that it makes sense for or is he usually doing it like where he's like oh i'm gonna goof around and make sure i do this you know what i mean no that's what i'm saying and he he when he's been asked about this in in like press conferences and stuff he's told everybody like i'm not going to do it just to like have the highlight of it like i'm only going to do that when i need to do it you know and uh and sure enough it was a perfect situation for him you know i uh sometimes it just takes somebody to fuck it up well good job because you brought that to life trav um well and good job to pat yeah he has said that a matter of fact he said it again he said i didn't do it to look cool i literally did it as i was like uh pissed i was like why didn't you run the route that uh i wanted you to run trav um it just worked out.

Speaker 1 Got to get in your playbook, kid. Yeah.
I think Andy had your back. He said, yeah, I saw that Pat threw him under the bus.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I think that was the most exciting thing that happened all preseason, as well as being able to watch the new kickoff rule.
What do you think of the new kickoff rule? I'm so excited for it.

Speaker 1 I think it's fun. I was so against it.
I was so

Speaker 1 against it. Remember, we were talking about it.
They were changing it. We're like, I don't like it.
It's the ceremonial football. It's the first thing.
It's what happens in football.

Speaker 1 It's what it's just, it's like two, it's like war, like both sides, old school war, just like running at a charge. Yeah, but that wasn't an option, they weren't going to let that happen anymore.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so, and honestly, it's

Speaker 1 still electric. It is, guys are still like the guy with the ball is still hitting it.
As that's my question: is how long do you think it'll last? I saw a guy, and I'm not surprised.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to name a guy, but I saw a guy almost get his head ripped off, and I was, and it was a flag on us.

Speaker 1 And I got so excited that I forgot whose team I was on and was just like, woohoo, that's football.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 it's exciting. All right, so that's all the football we're going to get into now.
Chiefs and Eagles fans, we know you've got more football questions for us, as well as NFL fans league wide.

Speaker 2 All right, now let's get to out of the house.

Speaker 1 That's right. Kelsey's in Paris.

Speaker 1 A little out of the house this segment. You guessed it is brought to you by our friends at NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV.
That's right.

Speaker 1 We're gonna, we're gonna keep pumping that because NFL Sunday Ticket, the NFL is here, baby. It's here.
We are, we are just about a week out

Speaker 1 from

Speaker 1 Chiefs and Ravens, baby. And I am so pumped to get this thing rocking and rolling.
But first, let's get to a little out of the house. Kelsey's in Paris.
Jason and Kai took over the Paris Olympics.

Speaker 1 That's right, uh, Jason, it was your first Olympics. Um, how was Paris? Yeah, first Olympics I was able to go to.

Speaker 1 Obviously, when you're in training camp, you miss summer Olympics, yeah, no matter when. And when you don't have, when you're playing football season, you miss the winter Olympics.
Yep.

Speaker 1 So, you know, it's something that you, you watch, we've always watched our entire lives growing up. Our entire lives.
Olympics are so electric.

Speaker 1 It's an incredible moment where people get to represent their countries across the world. And we really wanted to be able to

Speaker 1 take that in. And we like Paris.

Speaker 1 Kylie and I honeymooned in Paris. All right, man.
It was our second time being back. And it was fantastic.
The city's really set up well for it.

Speaker 1 It's very the public transportation, the trains, all that stuff. We had an absolute blast.

Speaker 1 It was so cool. It was so cool.
I went and saw Tay out in Paris, and they were just starting to kind of finish all of the little like stadiums and courts.

Speaker 1 And it was so cool that they were just in the middle of the city, like they were just making these arenas and these like playing fields throughout the city and the parks.

Speaker 1 And obviously, there was the sand volleyball that was right in front of the Eiffel Tower. I mean, it was so cool.
Was there like a certain venue that was your favorite to be in?

Speaker 1 The Rugby Sevens in the Stadium of Paris or Stadium of France. I can't remember what the name of that major stadium is there.
That was awesome. Uh-huh.

Speaker 1 Do you know that those games have like each half is only seven minutes? Yes, I did.

Speaker 1 I noticed that just watching it, but I did not know the rules of the game or really the timing or I didn't know any of that stuff.

Speaker 1 I've watched Rugby 15s before, but I did not know Rugby Sevens was that fast-paced. So when you like, you get a ticket into that stadium, you get to watch every country play twice in a day.

Speaker 1 Like you're watching a lot of games. That's crazy.
Which is like, you know, you buy not whatever else it is, that one ticket you only watch in that one event and most of that stuff.

Speaker 1 But that was what was awesome about the rugby sevens. It was like you're seeing a bunch of action.
And it helps when the USA women's team was pretty darn good as well.

Speaker 1 All right, now the field hockey games are actually being played at the old, the last time the Olympics was hosted in Paris.

Speaker 1 So there's some cool history there to that stadium. The men's volleyball is dope.
Those guys are jumping up there. It's so impressive to watch volleyball, man.
I mean, athletic is hell.

Speaker 1 The other one that we saw was the women team gymnastics final, which you want to talk about jumping. We watched like every girl go and do the floor routine.
And Simone Biles is the last person.

Speaker 1 And I'm like, you know, she's getting older. You know, she's a little bit, we'll see how she looks.

Speaker 1 There's no way you really thought this.

Speaker 1 I did think that because the gymnasts don't, dude, because gymnasts, when if you go look at like the age of gymnasts, they're usually not in their mid-20s to late 20s. They're usually young.

Speaker 1 Like they don't, they usually don't age and sustain well later i don't know why i just i automatically assumed she was the anomaly look you would be right she is the anomaly because she jumped higher than everybody and it wasn't even close you could tell just on that like like exploit like you watch all these people do the floor routine then it's simone is at the end and

Speaker 1 the very like within the first three seconds you're like oh that's different

Speaker 1 she just jumped a five feet higher than everybody else that has done this

Speaker 1 wow

Speaker 1 Yeah. So

Speaker 1 that's such a feel-good story knowing the past and everything that she's had to go through. And just to feel confident and getting back up there mentally, it's the best, man.
So happy for her.

Speaker 1 And America's so proud of her, man.

Speaker 1 Watching all those girls stand up there and represent the USA and get a gold medal. That was probably the highlight for the Olympics, being able to be there and witness that.
So cool.

Speaker 1 But it was all great. I mean, I met a lot of the women's rugby team players, Lona, Nicole.
I mean, the whole team at one point. I met

Speaker 1 all the, there was nine, I think nine. Hopefully, I'm right on that.
Nine girls on the field hockey team were from the PA area.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow. Yeah.
It's a hotbed. I didn't know that.
I mean, it makes sense that Kai played. So we were hanging out with their families, watching the games, grabbing drinks afterwards.

Speaker 1 It was really, really cool. And the only other world event I've been to was the World Cup.
I went to the World Cup in Brazil.

Speaker 1 But what's so awesome about world events, you just have people from all over coming to this one area, and they're all there to just appreciate the sports. And it's,

Speaker 1 yeah, it's just awesome. It's fun.
Paris is a great city, so it helped out.

Speaker 1 I concur. Well, Coach Kai is spotted in Paris working with a new field hockey prospect.

Speaker 1 She was coaching you up a little bit, showing you how to swing the hockey stick. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Is it much different from the ice? Did you need some different pointers or what? Listen.

Speaker 1 Field hockey is kind of stupid.

Speaker 1 Shut up.

Speaker 1 You can't. That's not.
I'm not believing any of this. There are certain things that just don't make sense.
Like in field hockey, you can only use the one side of the stick.

Speaker 1 You can't use the back side of the stick.

Speaker 1 It's like illegal. It's like, why is this illegal to use the other side of the stick? Because that's the game.
What do you mean? And they're like, oh, because it's rounded, so you shouldn't use it.

Speaker 1 It's like, just because you shouldn't doesn't mean it should be like against the rules to just use the back side of the stick. It's illegal.
Don't touch the ball with your hand in soccer.

Speaker 1 You can't kick it. If the ball's at your feet, you can't kick it.
If it hits a foot, it's a penalty. It's a foul.

Speaker 1 You can't.

Speaker 1 You can't kick a goal in in hockey either. I'm not saying to kick it in, but you can kick it back up to your stick.

Speaker 1 Just because you're not skilled enough with the stick does not mean it's stupid, Jason. I'm just saying it would decrease the stoppages.

Speaker 1 It would make the game more exciting because you'd be able to utilize more penalty. He's a businessman.
He just wants to make the game more exciting. It's like the opposite of soccer.

Speaker 1 You can't use your feet. You can only use, you can't even use your hands.
Well, I guess you can kind of block stuff with your hands, but you can only use the one side of your stick.

Speaker 1 And I just think it's inhibiting creativity and excitingness of field hockey. I think

Speaker 1 it's making you more,

Speaker 1 what is it? It's making you more disciplined on your creativity and being creative within the rules of the game, Jason.

Speaker 1 All right, so Jason sucks a field hockey. Kylie's shaking your head up here right now.

Speaker 1 And then you saw the U.S.

Speaker 1 win the first ever medal in Rugby Sevens. We just talked about that.
That's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 Did you get to see some of those things

Speaker 1 up close? Those medals? No, I saw some old ones because

Speaker 1 there were people in the stands that had them that I met former Olympians. Oh, shit.
Nice. Allie Reisman, I don't think I saw her medal.

Speaker 1 I saw at the rugby game,

Speaker 1 there were two former gold medalists that were rocking there. One was from Rio.
Dude, I got to say this story.

Speaker 1 We're sitting there watching the women's gymnastics final. Subtle flex.
We haven't seen the kids in a while and Kylie's, I think, feeling a little bit like baby.

Speaker 1 Like, I need to, I'm missing my kids, right?

Speaker 1 And we're sitting there, and Kylie turns around, and she turns back, and she says, oh my gosh, there's a baby up there, and it is so adorable. And I turn,

Speaker 1 and it's fucking Michael Phelps holding his child. Phelps.

Speaker 1 Kylie.

Speaker 1 If you see Michael Phelps, you don't say someone is holding the baby. Like, what are we talking about right now? It's the most decorated Olympian in the history of the Olympics holding the baby.

Speaker 1 Number one athlete of our time. You lead with Michael Phelps.

Speaker 1 The guy is funny as fuck for that.

Speaker 1 You turn around. You don't even see the baby.

Speaker 1 I was like, are you kidding me? I didn't even realize he had a baby. The baby is not a highlight of what's happening over there.
Oh, yes, it is. Oh, yes, it is.
That's right.

Speaker 1 The baby's always the highlight. Offspring is exciting for America.
That's fair. That's fair.
That's a fair point. Shout out to Michael Phelps, man.
Such a good dude.

Speaker 1 I played some golf with him over there at the win out in Vegas during Justin Timberlake's golf outing. Oh, nice.
8 a.m. 8 a.m.
golf. Awesome.

Speaker 1 But let's not get away from

Speaker 1 what happened out in Paris, Jason. Okay.
What happened? You arm-wrestled. I was asked to arm wrestle.
I just want to put that out there.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I did not instigate the arm wrestling.
Yes. But at the same time, you agreed to do this.
Yeah, I did. Hopefully I'm saying this right, but you arm wrestled Nicole Heverland.
Yes, I did.

Speaker 1 Which had some saying maybe you were cheating.

Speaker 1 And we all know Jason Kelsey's mentality. Why is that? What am I cheating? How am I cheating? What do you mean? Everyone knows your offhand has to be free.
That's not true.

Speaker 1 Watch any arm wrestling sanctioned event. Their offhand is freaking freaking.
Any grabbing event? Yeah. Any legitimate event.
No, it's not.

Speaker 1 Any legitimate arm wrestling event, your offhand is grabbing something. They're not free.
You're just making the suit.

Speaker 1 No, I'm talking about a legitimate arm wrestling event and show me what their offhand is doing. No,

Speaker 1 it's like it's just the respect of like a bar arm wrestle that you just don't grab anything else on the table. It's just strictly in that.
I have never once. Because now you're torquing.

Speaker 1 You're using core and you're using more muscles. Everyone's surrounding myself.
I'm just getting a better base. Not torquing anything.

Speaker 1 Leave it to Jason to move the ball forward a little bit on those tush pushes. Leave it to Jason to.
Listen, I'm going to.

Speaker 1 If you let me round my wrist, if you let me round my wrist over, I'm going to do it.

Speaker 1 I hate arm wrestling. I really do.
It's a lose-lose, especially when you're challenged by somebody who's smaller than you.

Speaker 1 Because it's like, if you win, it's like, oh, cool, the big guy just won an arm wrestling event.

Speaker 1 If you lose, it's like, hey, you just got your ass kicked by someone much smaller who should not be beating you in arm wrestling. Lose, lose.
But I get challenged by an Olympian. What do I do?

Speaker 1 I can't say no.

Speaker 1 You say I'm going to play

Speaker 1 because I have elbow. I have bones.

Speaker 1 I went for that. I legitimately went for that.
I said, actually, my elbow's kind of screwed up. And I could tell that Nicole was not going for it.
And I was like, okay, you got to sell it.

Speaker 1 We're going to do this, aren't we? All right. Let's do it.
You got to sell it. And now I have legitimate arm wrestlers challenging me.
Of course you do.

Speaker 1 There's like, I forget what his name is. You've seen him all over Instagram.
He does like freaking weights with his wrist. And I'm like, dude, I'm not arm wrestling, you motherfucker.
There's no way.

Speaker 1 There's no chance where you're going. You would.
You'd think there's something wrong with your elbow.

Speaker 1 My elbow is that good.

Speaker 1 There is something wrong with my elbow. I tore my growth plate when I was younger, and it has never healed.
My elbow would snap if I went up. Devin Lorette.
Shout out to Devin Lorette. Jason is out.

Speaker 1 He's terrified of you. Yeah, I'm not doing it.
Well, let's just drop a poll and see Jason, whether you guys, the 92%ers, we'll leave it to you guys. Did Jason cheat or not? It's the simplest check.

Speaker 1 I don't need a poll on this. It's not cheating.
Go. I do.
I need one. I don't know.

Speaker 1 Listen, you can't,

Speaker 1 the general public has no purview

Speaker 1 in

Speaker 1 this category.

Speaker 1 They have no right

Speaker 1 of what the rules are. You can't retroactively.
If we take a general poll, everybody lets you use the backside of the stick in field hockey, but they don't let you use the backside of the stick.

Speaker 1 Those are the rules. The rules of arm wrestling are your offhand gets to grab something.

Speaker 1 Never heard of that rule. Just watch any, there's a freaking entire handle that they're grabbing in all these events, dude.
All right, so we'll get off the topic, we'll let the polls decide.

Speaker 1 Um, there's, I'm not letting the polls decide. No,

Speaker 1 poll decides nothing. All right, you win.
Kylie posted on Instagram a video of the aftermath.

Speaker 1 She said, When you finally sit down after all the excitement, a win for men's volleyball, a bronze for women's rugby, and then a gold for women's USA. That's gym.

Speaker 1 Um, Jason, I can't help but notice you have

Speaker 1 like impeccable tits

Speaker 1 100%. Your tits are impeccable.
I am so jealous. I wish my tits sat up like that.
Um,

Speaker 1 no, you have what looks to be like a handball from is that is that a legit handball? No, it's either a volleyball. I can't, let me see his picture.
Is that a mini volleyball?

Speaker 1 Yeah, so they gave us like a little mini volleyball when we were at the men's volleyball game.

Speaker 1 Oh, man, i thought you got one of the handballs i was like dude i got a rugby ball i got a rugby ball and a mini handball or a mini uh volleyball from men's volleyball i mean it was still pretty cool it was dope well i take it back i um i legit i legit wanted like looking back on it like we asked the question what event do you think we'd be good at i think i think handball my elbows up Yeah, but I think I could be a goalie, man, because sometimes they just do the flying squirrel.

Speaker 1 They just do the flying. Some of the goalies just do flying squirrel and throw their arms.

Speaker 1 They're just trying to get as big as possible.

Speaker 1 They're doing, the goalies in handball are doing what they tell you to see if you do if you see a bear. Just get as big as possible.

Speaker 1 It's like, man, these goalies would scare the fuck out of some bears, but they aren't stopping a handball to save their life. It's like a score like every time.

Speaker 1 I like the cut off some of the angles, get out there, but at the same time, at some points, I was just like, dude, you guys aren't even going for the ball. You guys are just trying to get big.

Speaker 1 And it's like,

Speaker 1 I think I could bring

Speaker 1 something to the table playing goalie for the USA handball team.

Speaker 1 Not saying that the goalie for USA was bad. I'm saying all the goalies in general.
I'm like, the techniques that they're being taught, I feel like could use a little revamp.

Speaker 1 But also, never played the game, never had somebody throw a handball like that. Yeah, we've never done it before in our life.

Speaker 1 It's very, yeah, it's a little arrogant to think that you could go in there right away and be better than the best in the world, probably. It's a little backyard football, backyard dodgeball.

Speaker 1 It's like a few other sports.

Speaker 1 We've done stuff like it, but not exactly.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but I was super pumped. I thought that was a handball when I saw it.
I was like, yes, he's bringing back the, it's like, what's the game in Quidditch? It's like the fucking, what's the little.

Speaker 1 Well, you're looking for the snitch. This is just like the snitch.

Speaker 1 Bulgers or something like that. And they, I forget what the ones are that you're trying to throw into the rings.
All right. Fucking.

Speaker 1 We didn't have to go into it. They got it after the snitch.
I think Brandon told me quaffle. Quaffle is what you're trying to get through the rings.
No. Anyways, I was going for the snitch.

Speaker 1 You were right. I want to start like an initiative.
And now that I'm retired, I kind of have time.

Speaker 1 I want to take guys that weren't quite good enough to go, because let's face it, the best athletes in America, for the most part,

Speaker 1 when they're young, a lot of our athletes choose to play football and basketball. And how many of these athletes do we lose on these other sports because we're so focused on the NFL and NBA?

Speaker 1 I hear you. I mean, the main sports, you could throw baseball in there too.
You can throw baseball in there too. Yeah, yeah.
Okay. But baseball is like a specialized sport.

Speaker 1 It's not like just because somebody's good at baseball doesn't mean they're going to be great at another sport, maybe.

Speaker 1 There are a fuck ton of kids out here playing baseball only that are really good athletes. And it's so much harder to get through baseball.
Okay, fine. We'll throw baseball in there.

Speaker 1 Either way, my premise is: is there, I feel like we should be like, as a nation, taking some of these athletes that like

Speaker 1 either retire early or weren't quite good enough to make it to the NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball, and like pushing them into like other Olympic sports. Yeah, I hear you.
I hear you.

Speaker 1 I mean, we were kids where we wanted to play everything. And this is probably why we think we'd be good at anything you throw us into in the Olympics.

Speaker 1 But I'm a firm believer that you need to have kids try everything out. Like, go out, especially if you're not.
But I'm not talking about kids. I'm talking like a 22-year-old man.

Speaker 1 He's bounced around on practice squads. Well, that's where it's starting for all all these other countries.
It's starting at the adolescent level is that these kids are like

Speaker 1 so it's like, I hear you on that, but it also starts with like being a kid. And if you fall in love with this sport,

Speaker 1 like run with it, dude. Like have fun, like go crazy enjoying this thing and really become like the,

Speaker 1 you know, an Olympic athlete in that regard. Yeah, I just want to take all the guys that aren't quite good enough in the NFL and have them play rugby and see what our U.S.
men's rugby team looks like.

Speaker 1 I hear you. Not trying to, and I'm not trying to talk trash on USA men's rugby that is doing it.
Like, I'm not saying that.

Speaker 1 Bob Sled, get some big old D-linemen that got freaking fast starts pushing that sled. What?

Speaker 1 You think D-lineman?

Speaker 1 I mean, I think tight ends are probably better. Here's the thing with Bob Sled, though.
The Bob Sled.

Speaker 1 I like the linebacker tight end breed because you've got to have a little bit of weight to get that thing rolling faster.

Speaker 1 Well, this is why I think it might behoove you to be a little bit heavier if you can still maintain that acceleration. Because the bottom is all about the start.

Speaker 1 Unless you can accumulate speed in other ways. But hear my strategy.
Did you know that the full weight? I don't even know if that's true. I just assumed physics was involved.

Speaker 1 I'm about to drop some physics on. Did you know the full weight of the sled has to be,

Speaker 1 like with the riders in it, has to be of similar weight to like across the board? So in other words.

Speaker 1 There's weight classes. No.
Let's say the sled has to weigh a thousand pounds, right?

Speaker 1 Arbitrarily. The sled plus all the riders has to weigh a thousand.
So if your riders weigh 500 pounds, the sled weighs 500. If your riders weigh 800 pounds, the sled only weighs 200.
God damn it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you do a little bit of math, Rowan. Sorry.

Speaker 1 So I got excited. I guess my, my point is, if you have a bunch of D-linemen pushing a bob sled, the sled's going to weigh less and they're stronger.

Speaker 1 So they're going to be pushing something that's way lighter to them. So are they going to be pushing it faster, maybe?

Speaker 1 Especially if they're like Miles Garrett type d lineman that got freaking fast getoffs dude you think miles garrett's the next i mean he could be on it bob sled he could be on it he's got the narrow hips too he's gonna fit in the bobsled that's my one question about like

Speaker 1 you get some of these de-tackles their asses might not fit in that getting those shoulders that dude's shoulders are enormous you can't even get through a doorway he's so fucking

Speaker 1 shoulders

Speaker 1 i think it's worth testing out that's all i'm saying i think it's worth testing out because in a bob sled the majority of it is how fast you get that thing moving yeah and then it's all in the driver.

Speaker 1 It's all on Maurice after that. Right now, you're John Candy and fucking cool runnings right now.
You're John Candy. You're just like, give me some of these track athletes that are explosive and

Speaker 1 can get moving pretty fast and see what they can do. Handball.
I mean, dude, can you imagine you get like some dude that like

Speaker 1 6'10 wasn't quite good enough to get in the NBA playing handball? I mean, you got to be able to throw the ball. I'm talking about goalie.

Speaker 1 Those long, gangly arms. He's doing like pretzels and shit.
Maybe. What's another sport? Well, Well, high jump?

Speaker 1 Just get some big 6'10 basketball player, have him lose a shit ton of weight so his ankles look like they're toothpicks, and he's just hopping up over that thing? There's no way.

Speaker 1 No?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 I don't know why. No.
Like,

Speaker 1 what would Vince Carter have done in the high jump if he would have dedicated his life to the high jump? He was a two-foot jumper. He could do

Speaker 1 a jump anyway. He definitely wasn't a Fosbury flopper.
Could you imagine if he changed the high jump forever by just a two-jumper? jump right over

Speaker 1 it's like watching those old school videos of the fucking olympics where they're not even jumping on a mat they're just like

Speaker 1 they're diving over it

Speaker 1 all right well that does it for getting out of the house the kelseys in paris we loved watching you guys i'm not gonna lie being in training camp watching the olympics it's always like a like a something that takes you away from uh the the prison that you feel like you're in when you're in training camp.

Speaker 1 And I absolutely loved when I got to just turn on the TV and they made a quick shot over to two of the most proud Americans that I know or

Speaker 1 two of the people that America loves the most. And it was awesome to see you and Kai out there enjoying it all and soaking in a few gold medals or just medals across the board for USA.

Speaker 1 Let's get to some no dumb questions because there's no dumb questions, ladies and gentlemen, just dumb people like myself.

Speaker 1 This might surprise surprise you, but no dumb questions is brought to you by, that's right, our friends at NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. How about it? Good job, YouTube TV.
It's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 1 All right. Well, from Cam Webling17 on It Looks Like Twitter.
Welcome back, y'all. What's your favorite thing that you guys have done during this break?

Speaker 1 Jason, you want to, I mean, you went to the Olympics. That's got to be pretty cool, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, Olympics is, I mean, dude, we went to the top of the Eiffel Tower, which we didn't do last time, which, dude, I was,

Speaker 1 it's fucking scary going up in that elevator. You're looking out, and it's not a lot.
I mean, it's just like a frame, so you're seeing everything. It was built so long ago.

Speaker 1 And it's creaking as you're going up. Like, it's like, don't love that.
It was.

Speaker 1 Don't

Speaker 1 do that. I was trying to play it cool, and I did not play it cool.
And Kylie was making fun of me, which I deserve, but it was scary. Yeah.
Not gonna lie. Heavy man in an elevator that creaks.

Speaker 1 Fuck that. Great view.
Worth it. But

Speaker 1 what did I do that I

Speaker 1 can talk about

Speaker 1 that I did during the break? I don't even remember when we stopped. So we stopped.
The first thing we did was went to Tahoe. That was the first thing we did.
Oh, yeah. Nice.
Tahoe was a blast.

Speaker 1 I always have so much fun in Tahoe. They gif wrapped a karaoke victory for me.

Speaker 1 You got right on the plane and went straight to

Speaker 1 Bow.

Speaker 1 A little bias. Didn't fucked up the first verse, but it ended strong.
So what happens when there's karaoke and no words?

Speaker 1 I guess. Oh, you know what it was? It was getting Jason on the roulette wheel, baby.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 He's in, ladies and gentlemen. I got him addicted to the wheel.
He can't get off. He is rolling.

Speaker 1 I'm not a big roulette guy still, but if I'm with Travis Kelsey, I'm playing roulette because Trav is a fun time at the roulette table.

Speaker 1 Both Kai and Jason were killing it on the roulette table i'm not a big like i'll go to the casino but the casino is always about who you're with who you're with you're having fun 100 which also which leads me to the next point do not be the shitty one at the table guys do not

Speaker 1 or just like a downer as a downer yeah as a downer you could be bad at the game but you got to bring good vibes all right It's all about the vibes in the casino.

Speaker 1 Everyone's control of their own success to an extent. Blackjack, a little different, but the roulette wheel, you're in in control of your own success.

Speaker 1 So it's like the person next to you, don't do this. Don't be the guy that if it's a table win, you know, everyone's like, oh, yeah, all right, I guess I'll give you a fist pump.

Speaker 1 You know, it's, it could, it can really ruin an experience for somebody who's who's hitting on every single number like Jason was. I was.
I was hitting our anniversary. Yep.
Ooh, 14. 14, baby.

Speaker 1 Yeah, baby. That was a hot number.

Speaker 1 I had intern Brandon throwing me numbers from left field and nine was uh it was a good one so intern brandon i owe you uh a thank you a thank you that's about it that's right you didn't put your money down so i owe you no money but i owe you a thank you

Oh,

Speaker 1 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 1 All righty, our guest today is an absolute legend. You may know him from his film and TV career spanning over three decades.

Speaker 1 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 1 He's a one-time winner of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, a 16-time MTV Movie Award nominee. He's got Teen Choice Awards, People Choice Awards, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's a fan of high-quality H2O. Jesus, you have a

Speaker 1 today, Junior.

Speaker 1 Spit it out. That's right.
Our guest is the one one and only Sandman, Adam Sand Luente, baby.

Speaker 2 Boys, I'm so happy to see both of you guys. Love you both.
You know that.

Speaker 1 You know that.

Speaker 1 Thank you so much for coming on, Adam. This is incredible.
It's iconic, man.

Speaker 2 You too, fellas. Yes.
Yes. Come on, Jason.
Hit me.

Speaker 1 So you recently just finished a stand-up special. Yes, yes.
That's going to be launching on, I think,

Speaker 1 Tuesday.

Speaker 2 Yes, yes. It comes out on Tuesday.

Speaker 2 I was doing a tour, running around for like a couple of 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.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 2 when I was out on the tour, I was like, oh man,

Speaker 2 I 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 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 special. It's different.

Speaker 1 It's a little different, yeah.

Speaker 1 I cannot wait wait for everybody to see this, man. 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 1 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 1 How do you even get to creating something like that?

Speaker 1 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. How did that whole process come about?

Speaker 2 Well, I was kind of ready to just do a normal stand-up special. I was excited because I was kind of locked in.
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 I was

Speaker 2 ready to, you know, throw down. And

Speaker 2 then he's, he, Josh was just kind of like, you know, we've

Speaker 2 seen you do a stand-up special already. I did one like 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.

Speaker 1 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 Hayworth out there in LA, dude.

Speaker 2 That's right, buddy. I remember seeing that.

Speaker 1 I was so fucked. I was in a whole nother world.
And

Speaker 1 I remember two just off the top that I still remember. There's a phone wall of keys.
Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 1 I fucking sing that every single time I walk out of the goddamn door. Oh, I love it.
And

Speaker 1 I haven't forgot them since. Love that, Jack.
And then, and then I want to grow old with you, dude.

Speaker 2 Yes, I sang that too. Yes, yes, I sang that for the special.
And that was six years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That is

Speaker 1 six years ago when I saw you. That was so fucking cool, man.
I saw you at the,

Speaker 2 in my, in the dressing room back there at the Hayworth.

Speaker 1 You're the fucking man, dude.

Speaker 2 You too, buddy. And it was, I don't even know why, why I started.
Oh, yeah, here's what happened: I was doing movies, life was going good.

Speaker 2 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,

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 And then I was doing grown-ups, 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.

Speaker 1 Oh, that's awesome. That's awesome.
Well, make sure everyone you check out. Love you.
It's streaming now on Netflix.

Speaker 1 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 1 if this world needs comedy more than ever, it was just beautifully done, really well done.

Speaker 2 Thank you, man.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we wrote a song that kind of just talked about all the all the movies and comedians that influenced me and 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.

Speaker 1 It's got music. It's got a flamenco guitar that starts off with, by the way.
I'm like, man, this guy, 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.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty damn good.

Speaker 2 Then when I get on stage, I start getting 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 1 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 now

Speaker 2 oh yeah yeah yeah yeah that happens on occasion that happens yeah yeah yeah you don't you don't like those times

Speaker 1 all right let's talk about happy gilmore too because you got that coming up you just said you're moving to jersey here coming up yes that's what you're going there for right the whole thing was to get to hang out with travis that's why we put we put it together no yeah yeah we're going there travis by the way, thank you.

Speaker 2 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 1 Just a badass. But we know football season.
I think I got the swing down. You do?

Speaker 1 I think I got the swing down. Can you crack it like that? I was out there the other day, and

Speaker 1 it was literally the day after you went on Fallon and told everybody. And I was like, man, you know what? I just got to do a ceremonial one.

Speaker 1 And I fucking ripped it. You did? It felt so good, dude.
It felt so good. What a feeling.

Speaker 2 When you look up and that thing's going straight, you're like, that works, man.

Speaker 1 How did that happen? It's just.

Speaker 2 Oh, I bet you ripped the shit out of me. What do you hit him when you play? You bang it.
You bang it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I can hit it about 320 consistently off the side of the drive. But I could be three holes over or right next to the hole.

Speaker 1 It's either way.

Speaker 2 No, but I've seen you swing. It is nice.

Speaker 1 It's fun.

Speaker 2 I got to say, when I'm doing the happy Gilmore swing, I'm maybe one for four with that.

Speaker 2 It's not as good.

Speaker 1 A little TV magic on the back end.

Speaker 2 It is definitely. I call my own cuts.

Speaker 1 Here we go. All right, buddy.

Speaker 1 Well, that's a long walk up. Boom!

Speaker 1 You can hear Pat Mahomes in the background telling you where we are.

Speaker 1 That's got a good swing, too.

Speaker 2 He can bang him, too. I'm sure you guys have fun golfing up.

Speaker 1 He's a way better player than I am. He takes it way more serious.
I'm just out there for the fun, man.

Speaker 2 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 a little snappy out there.

Speaker 1 Snappy. A little

Speaker 2 frustrated.

Speaker 1 Have you gotten back into playing at all just to kind of get ready for the movie? Or did you ever, did you take a time off from playing golf?

Speaker 2 Or, 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 He'd shoot in the low 70s. I still can't do it.
I can't get it there.

Speaker 1 Holy cow.

Speaker 2 I can't get down low. I've had a good nine.
I had a good nine maybe two two weeks ago at Riviera.

Speaker 1 I think I could say

Speaker 1 Genesis Open. That's a little different.

Speaker 2 That's a tough one. I mean, I play from the whites, but

Speaker 2 I shot okay. But I can't put 18 together.
I can't do it. I can't concentrate that long.
Are you guys good with 18?

Speaker 1 I suck.

Speaker 1 I have a very short time. It's like third to last in the Tahoe golf outing.
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.

Speaker 1 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. I am cooked, and my swing is all over the place.

Speaker 1 I'm not made for three days of golf in a row.

Speaker 2 That's a lot of thinking. That's a lot of thinking.
I can't stay still for that long. Like, right, right around hole six, I start going, what the hell am I doing here?

Speaker 1 What happened in my life?

Speaker 1 Burgers on the turn. What are we? How's that? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Once I

Speaker 1 clubhouse, that's so funny.

Speaker 2 When I grew up, my dad, there was a, we used to play at this one place, and I think it was Hole 13.

Speaker 2 They used to put out

Speaker 2 polar 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.

Speaker 1 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 1 I was about to say, you inspired an entire like generation to get on the golf course, man. I promise you you did.
I was one of the kids.

Speaker 1 We used to go up to the public course all the time and just wanted to absolutely hammer them and hit him with the happy Gilmore swing.

Speaker 1 And we were hockey players growing up. So

Speaker 1 the movie

Speaker 1 extra hard. Yes.

Speaker 1 So hard, man.

Speaker 2 I know both you guys remind me of my friends so much growing up. Like, if you met my friends, which you did, you actually saw a few at the U2 show.
right?

Speaker 1 That was awesome, man. Oh, how cool was that concert?

Speaker 2 That was incredible.

Speaker 1 What a night.

Speaker 2 But it was more fun seeing seeing you there, buddy. We love seeing you.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 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 1 That was cool, man. It's insane, man.

Speaker 1 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 1 Thank you, man.

Speaker 2 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 exact dudes I hung out out with growing up.

Speaker 2 And 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 1 Jason's 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 1 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. Every week you'd meet superstars that you grew up with, Dan Aykroy, like all the

Speaker 2 original SNL cast. We got to meet so many of those

Speaker 2 cast members and then just comedians we all loved loved growing up.

Speaker 1 Then

Speaker 2 rock stars, we, you know, we got to meet the, you know, Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen and everybody we talked about, all of a sudden we were in the room shooting the shit with him.

Speaker 2 It was incredible.

Speaker 1 That's awesome, man.

Speaker 1 Before, before we get off of Happy Gilmore, though, I was, I'm actually curious. I'm not familiar with how the original thought process of the movie came about.
Oh, okay. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And I'm a little, I'm pretty curious. 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?

Speaker 2 It was my dad, like I said, he liked golf. 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. He's a great hockey player.

Speaker 2 In New Hampshire, it's a big hockey town.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah, hell yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah. So, so Kyle came out with me and my dad, and he didn't play much golf, but he was banging him.

Speaker 1 We were young.

Speaker 2 maybe ninth grade or something, something like that. And he was banging him.

Speaker 2 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, and, and I just was like, I think I was in college or, or finishing up college or just maybe 23.

Speaker 2 And I, I 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?

Speaker 1 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 Hurlihi, 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.

Speaker 1 I would say, oh, my God. What is it? He said, it's all in the hips, baby.

Speaker 2 It's all in the hips. And that's why we wrote that shit, you know?

Speaker 1 Chubs.

Speaker 1 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 looking for here? Well,

Speaker 2 first of all, Travis, we're going to have fun because the scene you're doing

Speaker 2 is with so many great golfers. It's going to be amazing.
You're going to be funny as hell.

Speaker 1 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...

Speaker 2 He's different.

Speaker 2 He's a bit of a mess when you meet Happy.

Speaker 2 And

Speaker 2 then we kind of try to get his life cooking again.

Speaker 1 Wonderful. I love it, man.
I think it's cool.

Speaker 2 I mean, we're trying to make you laugh the whole time, but it's got a

Speaker 1 five to it. If you're doing it, it's going to be fucking great.

Speaker 1 You're 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 1 We got all the trust in the world. You're going to bring Happy back and make him lovable again, man.

Speaker 2 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.
We just sit every line. We're going, are we sure? We sure? Are we sure about this one? All right, this is good.
Let's move.

Speaker 2 You know, we're just examining everything. We just want it to be as cool as possible.

Speaker 1 The original got me on the golf course and also got me in the batting cages doing shit I probably shouldn't be doing.

Speaker 1 But toughening up. You did that.
Just toughen it up. See, man, I knew you could handle that shit.

Speaker 1 I'd run from anything going on.

Speaker 2 How fast of a ball was hitting you?

Speaker 1 It's like 56 feet. You're crazy, man.
It's fun.

Speaker 2 I was the guy in Little League when I got hit by a pitch.

Speaker 1 I just rolled in the chalk for a fucking 45 minutes. Oh!

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 You got to wear it. You got to wear it.

Speaker 1 Don't rub. Don't rub it.
Yeah, that's funny.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 2 Yeah, boys, did you play Little League Baseball, too?

Speaker 1 Oh, no, you know, everything, man. Everything sports related.
It was like the backyard was like a sports complex.

Speaker 1 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 1 And he would just.

Speaker 1 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 1 Exactly.

Speaker 1 Exactly. Yeah.
yeah, it's all it's all we know, man. It's all we know.

Speaker 1 Yeah, let's get to a little, uh, little, some more familiar questions here. Um, in case you uh aren't aware, Jason and I are not professional interviewers.

Speaker 1 Um, I don't even know how to be a professional outside of football. Um, we're just two big fans with a lot of questions for you, man.
As football players, we got to leave with this.

Speaker 1 How many football guys come up to you and talk about the water boy, man?

Speaker 2 I hear Boucher a lot.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 2 I'm very proud that I got to be Barbie Boucher. I have met

Speaker 2 met a lot of great NFL fellas who have talked to me about Bobby and Bobby's mama and foosball.

Speaker 1 Just foosball. Just foosball.

Speaker 2 Making sure mama don't find out. I'm playing foosball, that kind of shit.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Did you play growing up?

Speaker 2 I played Pop Warner till

Speaker 2 12.

Speaker 1 I played till 12.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 So cool, man. So freaking cool.
Do you play any other sports? You play football, baseball?

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 You know, I went batten sixth.

Speaker 2 I went from batting second or third to batten sixth and seventh and maybe deeper. The older I got, the worse I got.

Speaker 1 But you're still on the courts, man. I was about to say, yes.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Their skills on the court are iconic because you're just a facilitator. You just see the court.
You see things before they happen.

Speaker 1 You remind me of a guy like Patty Mahomes and how his game is on the court. I promise you.
That's behind the backer. That behind the backer.

Speaker 1 I have dreams.

Speaker 1 Backdoor bounce passes. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 I'm all backdoor. That's all I ever talk to.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 Go back.

Speaker 2 You got to go. Let it go.
I'll fake up high. Just cut that low.

Speaker 1 You got to move, though, for me. I ain't going to shoot.
I got to get it to you. Just a natural leader, baby.
Yeah. I love it, man.
It's so fun watching you and all those highlights, man. Oh, man.

Speaker 1 You guys must have been fun on the basketball court grabbing rebounds.

Speaker 1 Jason, you should beat my ass, literally. Not even in the, I would win the game, but it would be a brutal ass beating.
Oh, yeah. And I would just get thrown on the cement beam.
You used to win

Speaker 1 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 1 He freaking is just driving the lane, and he's finally as tall as I am doing this stupid fucking ball. I had a main hook.
And I can't see it. It was so buttery.

Speaker 1 It was so buttery. I had a right.
So I start fouling and just beating the crap out of him. Yeah, it's...
Yeah, I could play defense. I can play some defense now.
There's minimal offense being,

Speaker 1 I'll set picks. I will pick and rebound all day long.

Speaker 2 That I see. That I know.
That's cool as hell, man. Yeah, you, you boys on the court must have been scary for the whole neighborhood.

Speaker 1 You told us about how Happy Gilmore got, how does, how did you create a Creole Southern?

Speaker 1 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 1 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 1 He stepped it up for that shit.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, I wasn't getting Oscars. I never thought of that stuff when I was doing Boucher, 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 them from the south.
Let's make them 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 1 So good. So good.

Speaker 1 It probably felt right as it came together, too. You're just like, man, this is coming together so smooth.
Because it's

Speaker 1 start to finish, that thing is perfect.

Speaker 2 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.
but so

Speaker 2 i remember with the water boy we wanted uh that he had a very protective mama and that and that this there was uh this movie carrie it was a uh

Speaker 2 a terrifying movie and and it was and he was an overprotective mom who didn't want her daughter to to be around anything too um too heavy and and anyways so we kind of wrote a mom like that that's over protective to bobby Bobby.

Speaker 2 And so he had to sneak around and play his foosball.

Speaker 1 It's so good, man.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 The breadth 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, 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.

Speaker 1 Do you have any like skit? Like, what was your favorite sketch or the one that you think is like the most underrated from your time in SNL?

Speaker 2 I mean, honestly, fellas, you know, you guys both did the show. You guys were great.

Speaker 1 I saw you that fucking weekend. Correct, Travis.

Speaker 2 When you came back, I was telling you how fucking great.

Speaker 1 I mean, you were so

Speaker 1 cool, confident as fuck out there, funny as shit.

Speaker 2 You guys, honestly, you guys remind me so much of my boys growing up. 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.

Speaker 1 Just channeling my inner sandman and Farley, baby. There you go.
Yes.

Speaker 2 Yes. Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 You would have loved Farley.

Speaker 2 He would have loved you guys, man.

Speaker 1 Farley was a fucking great football player, by the way. Heck yeah.
Yeah. Heck yeah.
A little

Speaker 1 Marquette rugby, too, baby. Abs accent, exactly.

Speaker 2 And ready to fight, by the way.

Speaker 1 A couple of the drinks said 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 them. We were like, calm the fuck down, bro.

Speaker 1 Let's not do this. No one else can fight like you.

Speaker 1 So good, man. I like it as soles.
Yes. That's 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 fucking greatest of all time.
He's a great writer and a great performer. He plays Triumph, the dog.
You know, the insult.

Speaker 1 Heck yeah.

Speaker 2 That dude, he wrote so many great skits, and

Speaker 1 he wrote the juice skit. And we got to walk around and go, you like it and juicy.
Yeah, you like it. That's good.

Speaker 1 You do it smoother than me, but

Speaker 2 I forgot how to drop it in there.

Speaker 1 It's the best, man. How many times do you get quotes told? Do you like just like, I mean, it's got to be just non-stop.

Speaker 2 We get it a lot on the streets on the streets of new york they scream some at me does it get old no no it's always fun it's always nice like shit when it comes at you that you i i was there were things brought up to me that i go what the fuck is that i have no idea what it is anymore and then somebody would just remind me when you you know was on your album when you said this and this and i go fuck i don't i don't remember saying any of that actually last night my daughter's watching uh uh 51st Dates, and she's like, Dad, come watch.

Speaker 2 I go, I don't need to watch me.

Speaker 1 And she's like, watch this.

Speaker 2 Look how sweet you are.

Speaker 1 I go,

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 2 It's like, I look back at the shit.

Speaker 2 I don't even fucking remember seeing to see. I'm like, oh.

Speaker 1 Oh, we did that? I didn't remember that place.

Speaker 1 Oh, boys.

Speaker 1 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 in 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. I'll, if it's on TV, I'll see it for a minute, but that's usually it.
We, we, you, you stay with shit for like a year. You go, all right, I don't need to fucking see that anymore.

Speaker 1 Yeah, 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

Speaker 1 comedy stuff that 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

Speaker 1 critiquing myself.

Speaker 2 I know, I know. You definitely, you can look at your shit after and go, oh, I thought I was better than that.

Speaker 1 What the fuck was I doing there?

Speaker 1 I got a lot of that.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 Holy shit, that was insane.

Speaker 1 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 1 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.

Speaker 2 How about being behind that fucking door?

Speaker 1 Dude.

Speaker 2 And your heart's pounding through your chest like, holy shit, it's happening right now.

Speaker 1 Yep. and just don't you, Travis, don't fall down these fucking steps.
Do not fall down these steps. You are live, dude.
You are live.

Speaker 1 You are

Speaker 1 there to help you, too.

Speaker 2 Exactly. That was nice.

Speaker 1 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 1 And I'm like, there's nobody here. This ain't live.
Like, what are we choking up for?

Speaker 1 And he was saying exactly coming, like, standing behind that door, seeing the signatures, all of that, like, until we hit him. And it's just like such a moment.

Speaker 1 Totally.

Speaker 1 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 in when I'm, when I'm in on something, I'm so fucking in on it.

Speaker 1 And it just took it over, man. Yeah.
It just took me over.

Speaker 2 Yeah. It gets you teary-eyed.
I had some of that. I hosted the show again, like around six years ago.
And

Speaker 2 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 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, it's the best, man. Yeah, you're in there forever now.
Both of you guys got to kill on that shit.

Speaker 1 I love it, man. You more than anybody I've ever watched has like, it's not that you stayed the same.
Like, I know you've evolved, but you've been so authentic in everything you've done.

Speaker 1 Like, from 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 1 How have you, I don't know, has this been like, how do you do that?

Speaker 2 Same way as you guys

Speaker 2 are doing your lives. Same shit.
You feel comfortable with certain people. Yeah.
The same wavelength you're on. What makes you guys happy?

Speaker 2 What makes you click like you with teammates or just fucking, you know, off season, the guys you hang out with.

Speaker 2 That's kind of like what I got with my buddies when we make the sh 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 1 Were you a Belushi and Aykroyd?

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 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?

Speaker 2 Well, I tell you, you never fucking think you're as good as the cast before you. Yeah.
So like, yes, Belushi, Aykroyd. Aykroyd, I mean, he became like a guy guy that we hung out with.
We got to hang.

Speaker 2 I loved him so much, but, and he treated us so great.

Speaker 1 So awesome.

Speaker 2 It's kind of like fucking Andy Reid. 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.

Speaker 1 And fucking

Speaker 2 the castmates before you, you feel the same shit. You just like, whatever they say, there's no

Speaker 2 reason for me to talk unless they ask me to talk.

Speaker 1 And that's about it.

Speaker 1 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 1 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 you have any advice and two

Speaker 1 when should i i mean they've seen some of your stuff but when should i really start exposing them to the sandman that's good man i think uh at that age yeah there's no rush

Speaker 2 all right no rush to get to me my my uh i got some animated movies that i feel kind of comfortable telling uh somebody yeah maybe you can watch you know hotel chance of magnitude or leo or something like that i go yeah you'll feel all right there but like but i got to tell you i have fucking three-year-olds come up to me and talk about Billy Madison.

Speaker 2 You know, they do say, Are you Billy Madison? I say, Yes, they go, Well, why do you not look like him anymore? I go, Well, Billy Madison's been fucking eating,

Speaker 1 he's a little hungry lately. But it'll all happen.

Speaker 2 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 1 Too good. Yeah, well, I actually saw you take the girls to the Taylor Swift premiere at the AMC Theaters.

Speaker 2 That was, by the way, what a girl. What a girl.

Speaker 1 What a, I mean,

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.

Speaker 2 And we listened to, and the kids were little, and we were listening to Taylor Swift and listening to every song. It was one of the first times that you listened to every song on the record.

Speaker 2 Like when I was a kid, I think the Beatles you did that with, maybe Elton John,

Speaker 2 you do every tune.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Start to finish.

Speaker 2 You know, when he starts 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. 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,

Speaker 2 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 floores my family.

Speaker 1 So cool, man. Floors them.

Speaker 2 Like, 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.

Speaker 1 I better say the right thing here.

Speaker 1 She was so grateful that you took the girls up there, man. So it was an absolute blast.

Speaker 2 She's lifetime forever, along with the whole world. She just means so much.

Speaker 1 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 God, was my family like, yes, look how good they are together.

Speaker 1 Look how 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 1 So good, man. You got to be sweating over here.
We got to see that dog behind you, dude. Come here, Bagel.
Come here, baby. Say,

Speaker 1 did you just say that dog's name is bagels? Yeah, bagel is

Speaker 1 such a good name. That That is such a good name.

Speaker 2 I've had a bunch of bulldogs over the years.

Speaker 1 I've had a meatball, matzo ball, pickles, and this is a babu, and here's a bagel. But bagel's ignoring me now.
Come here, buddy. What the fuck?

Speaker 2 You want me to pick you up? Come here, buddy.

Speaker 1 Say hi. Oh, God.

Speaker 1 I'm so pumped to see you. Let's go.

Speaker 1 There he is. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 There he is. All right.
Oh, yeah. Yeah,

Speaker 1 he had to see him. Bulldog.
Yeah, he's been a dog. Yeah, exactly.
The Georgia Bulldog, I don't know how he can handle that heat. Yeah, dude.

Speaker 1 They don't like the heat, babe.

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 2 Every time he's out there, my good lord.

Speaker 1 He is not in his element right now.

Speaker 2 They get the ice out for him. They do the right thing.

Speaker 1 There we go. 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 1 an avenue of athletes being comfortable on the screen?

Speaker 1 Well, you guys,

Speaker 1 has anybody bombed it, basically, is what I'm asking. oh no

Speaker 1 no

Speaker 1 I mean I'm no no names no names no I don't got anybody who I who left and I went whoa 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 I know I know you you you got a busy life and you're coming and you've got to make my fucking movie 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,

Speaker 2 it's usually if you're confident in what you're saying and committing to something. 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.

Speaker 1 All you guys are coachable. Yeah.
There you go. I was about to say, you got to be coachable in life, baby.

Speaker 2 You certainly do.

Speaker 1 How do you decide to make the jump from comedy guy to like more of like the dramatic stuff throughout your career? That was a good idea.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 2 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 Paul Thomas Anderson who's this amazing guy an amazing director he he wrote this movie for me and said give it a shot he believed in me so I did it nice had a few of those where 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 I

Speaker 2 you know like water boy and shit like that. We have fun writing that shit and doing that shit.

Speaker 2 And it's the best time we could ever ever have but when it comes to serious stuff i just don't want to let down this just like you guys don't want to let down the coach i don't want to let down the director so i just commit as hard as i can heck yeah accountability baby exactly yeah so we uh we got to jump into your we always do a mount rush more of

Speaker 1 like jason did uh mount rush more rush more centers centers i did

Speaker 1 rush more tight end yes who is your mount rush more of uh of well your characters characters on here? Yeah. Of your characters.

Speaker 1 Yeah, who is your Mount Rushmore of your characters, you think? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Shit. I never thought about this.
It kind of changes what

Speaker 2 I love some of them one day and then the next day I'm like, why the fuck did I do that?

Speaker 1 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. And we kind of, we were young,

Speaker 2 and we believed in it. So we got that done.

Speaker 1 I love Bobby Boucher.

Speaker 2 Shit, man. And I love being that guy.
I love doing movies with Drew, Barrymore, 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,

Speaker 2 I guess, yeah.

Speaker 1 I don't remember at all. I know Robbie Hart was one of them.
But

Speaker 1 I love making that. Whatever I did with those guys, I'd like to put up there.

Speaker 1 I'm with you.

Speaker 2 And I don't mind putting Lil Nikki up there, too.

Speaker 1 There you go.

Speaker 1 One of my sneaky favorites, bro. Seriously.

Speaker 1 Another one where you just engulfed, you just brought us all in with this.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's so good, man. The sideways face.

Speaker 1 Oh, man.

Speaker 2 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?

Speaker 1 And he goes, Hey, and I kind of go, Oh, Nick just did it. Nikki to me.

Speaker 2 That felt nice.

Speaker 1 That's so cool.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was so cool. Well, I'll tell you what, that's probably the most epic

Speaker 1 Mount Rushmore I've ever fucking heard. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 I love that they do.

Speaker 1 Little Nikki up there with somebody.

Speaker 1 This isn't on the rundown, but I want to know: who's your Mount Rushmore comedians? Like on your list?

Speaker 2 Well, my guys, when I was young,

Speaker 2 I love, i love so many now i got of course it's all bro it's it's much broader than it was but as a kid what connected me the most rodney danesfield was my that was my number one guy

Speaker 1 love rodney love caddy shax love back to school yeah you know back to school yeah baby the best the best and i got to meet him and hang with him fucking loved him and uh shit when i was young I loved the Jerry Lewis, the Abbott Costello, the Marx Brothers.

Speaker 2 I love that stuff because I would watch that with my parents. Had a great time with that.
Then I loved, you know, Belushi and Aykroyd was power in my house. Eddie Murphy.

Speaker 1 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 Chong.

Speaker 1 Fucking love Cheechi Chong.

Speaker 1 Yeah, baby.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. I had a million of them.

Speaker 2 Actually, the special, the last song, I tried to throw a lot of the people who meant something to me in there.

Speaker 1 I miss this 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 my cursing, I believe.

Speaker 1 We're a football podcast. We got to get into a little bit of your QB.
You already told everybody that you were kind of a Pop Warner QB, but the longest yard, man. Yes.

Speaker 1 How much like prep in the NFL? Were you just out there winging it, knowing that you still had the skill set? Or did you actually

Speaker 1 take some pointers from some guys? I was scared, man.

Speaker 2 I was, by the way,

Speaker 2 fellas, when I was a QB, I dropped so many snaps.

Speaker 1 I used to, I used to,

Speaker 1 my coach used to go, would you get your hands in there? I was so

Speaker 1 I didn't get in there. I was terrible.
As a center, you got to feel the pressure. You got to feel the pressure.
I apologize to you and

Speaker 1 everybody before you, Jim Otto, everybody.

Speaker 1 I made a mistake.

Speaker 1 I felt so bad getting my hand on that cup, but I fucking, when I got my hands, hands in there deep, man. It always worked out.

Speaker 2 But yeah, no, I took Sean Salisbury he was nice enough.

Speaker 2 He, 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 to break.
Then I'd get out there, my little baby voice, I would throw that quarterback thing on.

Speaker 1 I wouldn't do that bullshit.

Speaker 1 I was bullshit when I did it. I never sounded cool.

Speaker 2 But I remember Salisbury would always yell at me, like, oh, you got to command that team.

Speaker 1 Get out there and fucking be a man about this.

Speaker 1 This is so fucking serious. Sorry, bagel.
This is so good.

Speaker 1 In 97, you wrote a song called The Lonesome Kicker. Yes.

Speaker 1 Loved it. Would you ever write a song about any other positions? Or has that come up in your mind? Any other sport

Speaker 1 like that? Or what, man? Shit, yeah. I mean,

Speaker 2 if something fresh comes up, for sure, man. But 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.

Speaker 1 Yeah. They were all in the video.

Speaker 2 We hung out there.

Speaker 2 I've had a lot of dreams come true, but I met a lot of you dudes, and I love you all.

Speaker 1 You're the best, dude. Thank you.
Well, let's get to some no-dumb questions with the Sandman himself. I'm ready.

Speaker 1 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 1 Would you mind helping us with just one, baby?

Speaker 2 Please, please make me a part of it.

Speaker 1 Let's do this. All right.
From Hey Buck Nasty, whatever that may mean.

Speaker 1 Out of all the movies that The Sandman is dropping,

Speaker 1 we still want to know what's happening in Bobby Boucher and Vicki Valingourt's life. Did Bobby ever make it to the NFL?

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, first of all, the good news is Bobby saw Vicky's boobies and he liked them.

Speaker 1 Loved them, actually. He loved them.
He said like, but in that moment, he loved them. He loved them.

Speaker 2 And thank you very much, Vicky Valacour, 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 1 Mama wanted him home. So he had two good, good years running around with the teams, you know, saw some shit.

Speaker 2 He probably shouldn't have seen

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 1 It's a beautiful story. Yeah.
It was a beautiful story, baby.

Speaker 1 We had to at least figure out what happened, baby. Yeah, yeah.
Thank you. And that wraps it up with no dumb questions today.
Man, honestly.

Speaker 1 Adam, we can't thank you enough for jumping on with this, brother.

Speaker 1 You are the goat of the comedy that we grew up on and i can't thank you enough man you shot me the text after snl and it was like the full life circle moment of of seeing just feeling like i'm a part of something as cool as as the sandman so i appreciate you even jumping on having some fun down memory lane with us and everybody make sure you check out uh the uh the netflix special he's got coming out man Appreciate that.

Both of you guys.

Speaker 2 And by the way, Jason,

He's in the head.

Speaker 1 Exactly.

Speaker 2 The biggest fucking Eagles fan. Loves you.

Speaker 1 Loves you.

Speaker 2 And when you guys fucking won, holy shit was their relief around that fucking guy's depression.
