We're finally back. Season three is officially kicking off.
We've've left you guys waiting for long enough 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 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 i know you guys are tired of seeing us but you're gonna have to deal with it um because we can't even stop it at this point anything happens goes on social media anyways we're gonna 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 and we're also got an incredible guest coming on this episode i mean that's right it's we're jumping we're jumping this thing off it's iconic it's an iconic just very talented person and you're gonna find out who it is yeah you're gonna find out who it is there's clues on the screen right now you probably already know 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. I mean, this is right up there.
Can't ruin this episode, though, man. I've met this person once.
I met. We should just say his name because it's going to be.
No. I've met this person one time, and let me tell you, I have not been starstruck by many people.
I was kind of like I am now. I didn't know what to say.
I was just at a loss of words. 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. If it's a good one, you got to just be tasteful with it if you're going to do it.
Yeah. It's going to be perfect timing and great delivery.
You got to deliver it if you're going to do it. Nobody delivers them quite like him, so we're looking forward to talking to him.
But before we get to that, we got a little bit of new news. New news coming.
Off-season news. New news is brought to you by our friends at NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV.

How about that? That's right. Kylie is actually one of the most natural actors I've ever seen.
Yeah. You, it's not as – I'm kidding.
You're great. What was it like shooting this with Kylie for the NFL Sunday ticket? No, I think obviously whenever you're doing something with somebody that you know, it makes it that much more comfortable.
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 started to get bags under your eyes? No, I was just supposed to be looking like eye black.
I've never wore these things. Did it work? I was only doing it for the commercial shoot.
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? It's very, it looks great.
Jason. You look fantastic.
It's very demure. No, it was awesome.
It was a lot of fun. The wonderful folks at YouTube TV made it really easy.
We are big proponents of YouTube TV in the Kelsey household. We enjoy it.
We can use it anywhere, which 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.
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. Well, I mean, you're going to need the knowledge to talk because you're obviously on the Monday night countdown this year.
This is true. And then on top of that, it's like, is, are you going to use it as like practice to like maybe start calling games or something? 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 using for.
I'm probably going to use multi-view. I'm probably going to use it to really be able to follow everything that's happening.
I mean, I've used Sunday ticket occasionally when we don't play on Sunday in the past to watch games. Yeah.
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.
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 than ever before which i was catching the eagles games whenever we didn't play at the same time and then uh i kind of like because you you get the stat view you get the key plays you can kind of like watch it at a at a quicker rate especially if it's a game in review that already happened.

Are you going to get into fantasy football now?

Are you a fantasy footballer? watch it at a at a quicker rate especially if it's a game in review um that already happened

um are you gonna 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 because i feel like if yeah if you're doing fantasy football you got to be in tuned and knowing who to bench who to sit how my team's doing who's injured 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 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 um i'm pretty sure you draft your team before the games start there's got to be a way i can start this like i mean i'm not a fancy football guy but i'm pretty sure this is drafts have already happened okay all right all right okay brandon's telling me right now uh yeah would i draft travis yes i would draft travis but i apparently these drafts have already happened yeah all the professionals are saying don't draft me without drafting pat mahomes you draft both yeah you gotta yeah it's a dual thing why is that we're just we're a team you get double the points but you guys both probably go in the first round i'd imagine pat's one of the higher picked 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? No, I don't think so. Because I think the quarterbacks, like you go a little later rounds because 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.
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 i think i know that touchdowns are all that matters so i know like running backs are hot commodities and like receivers or tight ends that score a lot of touchdowns are hot commodities yeah i'd imagine jaylen's pretty good with all the uh tush pushes into the end zone that is correct But I don't know how that translates to quarterbacks throwing touchdowns.

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

I suppose maybe that's why they go later.

Yeah.

Brandon said Arby's go first.

Yeah.

Jason won't be in any fantasy leagues this year.

Maybe you catch him next year.

Yeah, I guess.

I guess I'll just, I don't know, watch football.

I'm in on that. 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.

I think that stands for New Heights, but that's YouTube.com slash NH.

All right, let's get to a little training camp, Trav.

You've been off at Chiefs training camp for, what, a month now?

Maybe a little bit longer?

You guys reported.

When did you guys report?

The 19th.

I reported on the 19th of August.

August.

So not a month.

That is a lie.

I reported on the 19th of July.

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.

How are you feeling, bud?

How's the team look?

I'm not going to lie, man. I am excited as a motherfucker.
Yeah. I am extremely excited.
Do you have some of your facial hair? Yes. Yes.
Well, I always do the Andy Reid special, baby. You know what I'm saying? Got to, Bubba.
Sure. It looks good.
It looks clean. Thanks, bud.
bud I grew out the hair though I switched it up it well I don't got the buzz cut um and I'm not as super trooper I'm more of like kind of like a different character uh with the stash um but yeah just having some fun with it and uh when I 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.
Joe, Missouri. 12 years of us sitting in the same dorm room over there at Missouri Western State University.
Yeah. That's cool.
It is. It is.
You know, I made it. I made it.
like i uh i kind of go to jail every time i do this but it's it's like uh it's like a sanctuary at this point for me yeah kind of like it gets me in like the headspace of like i get to work on my craft and not think about anything else that's going on and like i can really like tune up you know my uh my athletic abilities man and i um yeah i've learned to love it out there i really have so i say this uh and it doesn't sound appealing but i really do love it out there i really do and 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 love about St.
Joe's? Well, this year, I love the weather. It wasn't 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 running on.
Yes. I hate running on turf, especially throughout the preseason when you're really like adding the miles up.
um yeah so being outside in front of the fans that that that happens as well when you go inside you're not around the fans and and everybody that wants to enjoy training camp and uh coming off of uh two super bowl runs there it's it's pretty fun seeing uh chiefs kingdom show up week in week out and uh seeing some familiar faces like uh rasheed wallace nice i did see rasheed wallace heck yeah how's he doing doing good oh he's killing it he's killing he's making his rounds for his podcast um and then uh yeah he's always been a chiefs fan though i think uh i think the world found out he was a chiefs fan when he got signed to the to the detroit pistons um and they actually i believe they went back to back um if i'm not mistaken but mistaken but 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. Who cares.
Wouldn't be the first time that happens on this podcast. Pat Mahomes said he finally brought a TV.
Did you bring a TV this year? No. YouTube TV man.
YouTube TV. You can just watch it on your phone.
That's kind of where I'm at. What are you bringing? I don't need a TV.
Whenever I'm in that dorm room, I am passing out. He brought it so he could 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. 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, it 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. I used to have a guy on every single team in college football.
And sure enough, I mean, it's like you're a kid all over again.

It puts me at a really simple state of mind.

Let's get to the preseason a little bit.

You guys, obviously, trying to three-peat this year,

have made a lot of off-season acquisitions. Has anybody out to you throughout training camp practices preseason games I don't know what'd you learn about the Chiefs in this short stint before the season gets going we do have a very similar team to last year so it's uh it's been a fun training camp to kind of just build on that uh it's the first time that we've really came into the season with the core group of guys that we had this the year before and don't get me wrong we lost we lost a few guys here and there obviously mvs and uh sneed and willie gay like there there were a bunch of guys that uh or there are a few guys that that ended up getting paid everywhere else and i'm happy as hell for them and but we do have the nucleus, I think still together here in Casey.
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, uh, uh, even better understanding of what they're doing on the other side of the ball. So now you have to get really creative and you have to be on top of your fundamentals and like be on, on the same page as the person next to you or on, on the same page as a, as the quarterback, even more than you typically would because you're just, you're nonstop having to 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 about iron sharpens iron it's like it's to the max so i really feel like um all the new guys that are coming in had to kind of like raise their level of focus and maturity and uh and a lot of the young guys did it's been fun well you guys didn't play that much in the uh preseason games the starters but you did play 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. 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 I because 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 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. So you've got to really go over your game plan.
You don't spend as much time game planning specifically for your opponents. Exactly.
I wasn't in tune with the game plan. And Pat Mahomes had something in the back of his head when I walked across the line of scrimmages.
Like, what did you say that I didn't know what I was doing? So he was going to have to make something shake. And that's why we love playing with Padma Holmes, ladies and gentlemen, because even when you fuck up, he makes you right.
This is just a boot play naked? Oh, this is a true read. This is a true, he's got the option to hand this off.
Yeah, the old RPO. so you were supposed to go to the flat right away and run this little rubber out potentially um yeah i could have gone that way i could have just did what i did and then got the first down this way um but you know there's there's there's options there's options in andy reed's offense and it's because of a guy like pat mahomes that you can you can you know run these see? Just a little point to him right there.
Like, ha-ha, glad we're on the same page. I had no idea.
I had no idea. I felt Pat pull the football and start to roll out, and I was literally just going to start to run that way and, like, oh, he might need my help in blocking.
He might need my help to, help to be available. So when I turned around, he was in mid, like behind the back pass like a sports card.
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 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 now that i'm watching this it is a completely broken play what um this is i could i like i said i uh i screwed this one up um i did not look at coach reed after this play i knew he would have probably just come here son well i don't think he's that mad 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 he's I'm telling you he's done it he's done it more times than once in practices yeah and and people have only seen it in terms of like training camp practices or like him just screwing around in the uh during practice on like his side of the field with the other quarterbacks um to instinctually be able to do this is insane it is it's insane to have the the cojones to uh 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 he's only going to do it when he needs to do it right there was it was a it was going to be a weird angle if he would have threw it overhand for sure if he would have threw it regular yeah because there was the defender was right in between the defensive end was yeah the defensive end was making it difficult to have a throwing lane. You would have had to go over top of him.
Exactly. With people around me, that might not have been the best pass.
For him to instinctually know that he has the ability to do that, he has the skill set to do that, and then to be able to do it in time, man, it's fun to play with. Yeah, that was insanely cool to watch live.
Is that typically the way it happens on a pass that it makes sense for, or is he usually doing it where he's like, oh, I'm going to goof around and make sure I do this? You know what I mean? No, that's what I'm saying. When he's been asked about this in press conferences and stuff, he's told everybody told everybody like i'm not gonna do it just to like have the highlight of it like i'm only gonna 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 just take 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 trap um it just worked out gotta gotta get in your playbook kid yeah i think andy had your back he said yeah i saw the pat threw him under the bus um yeah i think it's uh that was the most exciting thing that happened all pre-season uh as well as being able to watch the new kickoff rule what do you think the new kickoff rule i'm so excited for it i think uh i think it's fun i was so against it i was so 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 you know it's the first thing it's what happens in football it's what it's just it's like two it's like war like both sides old school war just like running out of charge yeah but that wasn't an option they weren't going to let that happen anymore yeah so and honestly it's it's still electric it is guys are still like the guy with the ball is still hitting it as hard as he can.
That's my question is, how long do you think it lasts? I saw a guy, and I'm not going to name a guy, but I saw a guy almost get his head ripped off. And it was a flag on us, and I got so excited that I forgot whose team I was on, and it like, woohoo! That's football! And yeah, 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.
We're going to be doing a full season preview next week, so hit us with the questions in the meantime that you got for the coming season 92% throw some comments in there let us know what you want to know about because me and Jason have all the answers yeah we'll see we'll see what we know every big moment starts with a big dream but what happens when that big dream turns out to be a big flop?

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

That's right.

We're going to keep pumping that because NFL Sunday Ticket,

the NFL is here, baby.

It's here.

We are just about a week out from Chiefs and Ravens, baby,

and I am so pumped to get this thing rocking and rolling.

But first, let's get a little out of the house. Kelsey's in Paris.
Jason and Kai took over the Paris Olympics. That's right.
Jason, it was your first Olympics. How was Paris? Yeah, first Olympics I was able to go to.
Obviously, when you're in training camp, you miss summer Olympics. Yeah.
No matter when. And when you're playing football season, you miss the winter Olympics.
Yep. 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.
It's an incredible moment where people get to represent their countries across the world. And we really wanted to be able to take, take that in.
And we like Paris. We, Kylie and I honeymooned in Paris.
All right now now it was our second time being back and it was fantastic the city's really set up well for it it's very the public transportation the trains all that stuff we had an absolute blast i mean it was so cool it was so cool i went and saw tay out in paris and they were just starting to like kind of finish all of the little like stadiums and courts. 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. 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? 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.
Do you know that those games have like each half is only seven minutes? Yes, I did. 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.
I've watched Rugby 15s before, but I did not know Rugby 7s was that fast-paced. So when you get a ticket into that stadium, you get to watch every country play twice in a day.
You're watching a lot of games. That's crazy.
Which is like you buy whatever else it is, whatever else it is. That one ticket, you're only watching that one event in most of that stuff.
But the, that was what was awesome. Other 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. All right.
Now the field hockey games are actually being played at the old, the last time the Olympics was hosted in Paris. 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 as hell.
The other one that we saw was the women's team gymnastics final, which you want to talk about jumping. We like every girl go and do the floor routine.

And Simone Biles is the last person.

And I'm like, you know, she's getting older.

You know, she's a little bit.

We'll see how she looks.

There's no way you really thought this.

I did think that because gymnasts don't.

Dude, because gymnasts, 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.

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. Well, 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

first jump. Like you watch all those people do the floor

routine and then Simone is at the end

and the very, like within the first three seconds you're like, oh, that's different. She just jumped five feet higher than everybody else that has done this.
Wow. So good, man.
Yeah. So that was such a feel good story.
Knowing the past and everything that she's had to go through and just to feel confident and getting getting back up there mentally it's the best man so happy for and america's so proud of her man watching the watching all those girls stand up there and represent the usa and get a gold medal that was probably the highlight for the olympics uh being able to be there and witness that so cool but it was all great i mean the me i met a lot of the women's rugby team players,

Lona Nicole, I mean, the whole team at one point.

I met 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.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.

It's a hotbed.

I didn't know that.

Exactly.

I mean, it makes sense that Kai played.

So we were hanging out with their families,

watching the games, grabbing drinks afterwards.

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. 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, yeah, it's just awesome. It's fun.
And Paris is a great city, so it helped out. I concur.
Well, Coach Kai is spotted in Paris working with a new field hockey prospect. She was coaching you up a little bit, showing you how to swing the hockey stick.
Oh, yeah. Is it much different from the ice? Did you need some different pointers or what? Listen, field hockey is kind of stupid.
Shut up. 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.
You can't use the back side of the stick. 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? They're like, oh, because it's rounded, so you shouldn't use it.
It's like, just because you shouldn't doesn't mean it should be like against the rules and just use the backside of the stick it's illegal don't touch the ball with your hand in soccer 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 you can't 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 like all i'm saying because you're not skilled enough with the stick does not mean it's stupid jason i'm just saying it would it would decrease the stoppages it would it would make the game more exciting because you'd be able to utilize more appendages a businessman he just wants to make the game more exciting it's like the opposite of soccer soccer. You can't use your feet.
You can only use,

you can't even use your hands.

I guess you can kind of block stuff with your hands,

but you can only use the one side of your stick.

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

I think it's making you more,

what is it?

It's making you more disciplined on your creativity

and being creative within the rules of the game, Jason.

All right, so Jason sucks at field hockey. Kylie's shaking your head up here.
And then you saw the U.S. win the first ever medal in rugby sevens.
We just talked about that. That's pretty cool.
Did you get to see some of those things up close, those medals? No, I saw some old ones because there were people in the stands that had them uh that i met former olympians oh shit nice ali reisman i don't think i saw her medal um i saw at the rugby game uh there were two former gold medalists that were rocking there one was from rio dude i gotta say this story i'm sitting we're sitting there watching the women's gymnastics final subtle flex we hadn't seen the kids in a while and kylie's i think feeling a little bit of like baby like i need to i'm missing my kids right 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 and it's fucking Michael Phelps holding his child.

Kylie, if you see Michael Phelps, you don't say someone is holding the baby.

Like, what are we talking about right now?

The most decorated Olympian in the history of the Olympics.

It's just rated the number one athlete of our team. You lead with Michael Phelps.
It's funny as fuck for that. You turn around, you don't even see the baby.
I was like, are you kidding me? I didn't even realize he had a baby in his hand. The baby is not a highlight of what's happening over there.
Oh, yes, it is. Oh, yes, it is.
That's right. The baby's always a highlight.
The baby's always a highlight. The baby's always a highlight.
The baby's always the highlight. Feltz's offspring is exciting for America.
That's fair. Okay.
That's fair. That's a fair point.
Shout out to Michael Feltz, man. Such a good dude.
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.
But let's not get away from 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.

I was.

Yeah.

I did not.

Yes.

But at the same time, you agreed to do this.

I did.

Hopefully I'm saying this right.

But you arm wrestled Nicole Heverland.

Yes, I did.

Which had some saying maybe you were cheating. 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.
Watch any arm wrestling like sanctioned event. Their arm, their offhand is grabbing event.
Yeah. Any legitimate event.
No, it's just legitimate arm wrestling event. Your offhand is grabbing something.
They're not free. You're just making this up.
Dude, no. I'm talking about...
Pull up a legitimate arm wrestling event and show me what their offhand's doing. No.
It's like it's just the respect of like a bar arm wrestle that you just don't grab anything else on the team. It's just strictly in that power.
I have never once heard that. Because now you're torquing.
You're using core, and you're using more muscles. I'm just grounding myself.
I'm just getting a better base. I'm not torquing anything.
Leave it to Jason to move the ball forward a little bit on those tush pushes. Leave it to Jason.
Listen, I'm going to – if you let me round my wrist, if you let me round my wrist over, I'm going to do it. I hate arm wrestling.
I really do. It's a lose-lose, especially when you're challenged by somebody who's smaller than you.
Because if you win, it's like, oh, cool. The big guy just won an arm wrestling event.
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 Olymp do i can't say no yeah you say i'm gonna play it yeah because i have i have elbow i have i have bones i went for that i legitimately went for that i said actually my elbows kind of screwed up and i could tell that nicole was not going for it and i was like okay you gotta sell it we're gonna do this aren't's do it. You got to sell it.
And now I have legitimate arm wrestlers challenging me.

Of course you do.

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.

There's no chance.

You think there's something wrong with your elbow until you go up against that guy.

There is something wrong with my elbow.

I tore my growth plate when I was younger, and it has never healed.

Thank you. way there's no chance you wouldn't you think there's something wrong with your elbow until my elbow is there is something on my elbow i tore my growth plate when i was younger and it has never healed my elbow would snap if i went up uh devon laurette shout out to devon laurette jason is out 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 percenters will uh we'll leave it to you guys did jason cheat or not it's as simple as that i don't't need a poll on this.
It's not cheating. I do.
I need one. So we're going to do it.
You can't. The general public has no purview in this category.
They have no right 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.

Those are the rules. The rules of arm

wrestling are your offhand gets to grab

something.

Never heard of that rule. Just watch

any... There's a freaking entire

handle that they're grabbing in all these events.

Dude. Alright.

So, we'll get off the topic. We'll let the decide um there's i'm not letting the side no all right all right you win kylie posted on instagram uh a video of the aftermath 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 gym um jason i can't help but notice you have like impeccable tits 100 your tits are impeccable i am so jealous i wish my tits sat up like that um 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 yeah so they gave us like a little mini volleyball when we were at the men's volleyball game 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 fucked up yeah but i think i could be a goalie man because sometimes they just do the squirrel yeah they just do the.
Some of the goalies just do flying squirrel and throw their arms and legs at it. They're just trying to get as big as possible.
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.
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 you score like every time.
I like the cut off some of the angles, get out there. But at the same time, at some points, I was just like, dudes, you guys aren't even going for the ball.
You guys are just trying to get big. Yeah.
And it's like, I think I could bring something to the table playing goalie for the USA handball team. 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.
But also, never played the game. Never had somebody throw a handball like that.
Yeah, we've never done it before in our life. 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 dodge it's like there's a few other sports we've done stuff like it maybe not exactly 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 and quidditch it's like the fucking what's the little well you're looking for the snitch there's also uh bulgars or something like that that. And I forget what the ones are that you're trying to throw into the rings.
All right. 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.
Anyways. I was going for the snitch.
You were right. I want to start like an initiative.
And now that I'm retired, I kind of have time. I want to take guys that weren't quite good enough to go.
Because let's say, let's face it. The best athletes in America, for the most part, 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. 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.
It's not like just because somebody's good to baseball doesn't mean they're going to be great at another sport. Maybe.
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.
Either way, either way my premise is is there i feel like we should be like as a nation taking some of these athletes that like 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 you. 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. But I'm a firm believer that you need to have kids try everything out.
Like go out, especially if you're. But I'm not talking about kids.
I'm talking like a 22-year-old man. He's bounced around on practice squad for a couple years.
Well, that's where it's starting for all these other countries. It's starting at the adolescent level is that these kids are like being bred to do this.
They have a leg up. 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, like run with it, dude. Like have fun.
Like go crazy enjoying this thing and really become like uh the you know uh 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 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. Bobsled, get some big old D-linemen that got freaking fast starts pushing that sled.

What?

You think D-linemen?

I mean, I think tight ends are probably better.

Here's the thing with bobsled, though.

I like the linebacker tight end, Bree, because you've got to have a little bit of weight

to get that thing rolling faster.

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 mobsled is all about the start unless you can accumulate speed in other ways but here my strategy did you know that like the full i don't even know if that's true i just assumed physics was involved i'm about to drop some physics on did you know the full weight of the sled has to be like with the the riders in it, has to be of similar weight to like across the board? So in other words- So there's weight classes. No.
Let's say the sled has to weigh 1,000 pounds, right? Arbitrarily. The sled plus all the riders has to weigh 1,000.
So if your riders weigh 500 pounds, the sled weighs 500. If your riders weigh 800 pounds the sled weighs 500 if your riders weigh 800 pounds the sled only weighs 200 god damn it yeah you do a little bit of math wrong sorry so i got excited i guess my my point is if you have a bunch of d lineman pushing a bobsled the sled's gonna weigh less and they're stronger so they're gonna be pushing something that's way lighter to them so are they gonna be pushing it faster maybe especially if they're like miles garrett type d lineman that got freaking fast get-offs dude you think miles garrett's the next i mean he could be on it bobsled 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 not getting those shoulders some of these d tackles their asses you're not getting those shoulder's shoulders are enormous.
You can't even get through a doorway. He's so fucking big.
He's got some wide shoulders. I think it's worth testing out.
That's all I'm saying. I think it's worth testing out.
Because in a bobsled, the majority of it is how fast you get that thing moving. Yeah.
And then it's all in the driver. It's all on Maurice after that.
Right now, you're John Candy in fucking Cool Runnings right now. You're John Candy.
just like give me some of these track athletes that can that are explosive and getting 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 6 10 wasn't quite good enough to get in the nba playing handball you gotta be able to throw the ball i'm talking about goalie that long those long gangly arms he's doing like pretzels and shit maybe what's another sport well high jump just get some big 610 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 no no i don't know why no like what would 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 you could do he was a two-foot jumper he could jump anyway he definitely wasn't a fosbury flop flop could you imagine if he changed the high jump forever by just a two-foot jumper 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 they're diving over it all right well that does it for getting out of the house the kelsey's 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 the prison that you feel like you're in when you're in training camp.

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 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.
Let's get to some No Dumb Questions because there's no dumb questions, ladies and gentlemen, just dumb people like myself. This might 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? job youtube tv it's a beautiful thing all right well uh from cam webling 17 on it looks like twitter welcome back y'all what's your uh favorite thing that you guys have done during this break um jason you want to i mean you went to the olympics that's got to be pretty cool right yeah olympics is i mean dude we We went to the top of the Eiffel Tower, which we didn't do last time, which, dude, I was. 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. And it's creaking as you're going up.
Yeah, don't love that. It was.
I don't want to do that. I was trying to play it cool, and I did not play it cool.
And Kyler was making fun of me, which I deserved. But it was scary.
Yeah. Not gonna lie.
Heavy man in an elevator that creaks. Fuck that.
Great view. Worth it.
But. What did I do that I can talk about 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.
I always have so much fun in Tahoe. They gift wrapped a karaoke victory for me.
You got right off the plane and went straight to karaoke and bow a little bias didn't fucked up the first verse but it ended strong so what happens when there's karaoke and uh no words i guess oh you know what it was it was getting jason on the roulette wheel baby oh yeah he's in ladies and gentlemen i got him addicted to the wheel he can't Get off he is rolling i'm not a big roulette guy still but if i'm with travis kelsey i'm playing roulette because travis he's a fun time at the roulette table both kai and jason we're 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 whether 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 be a table ruiner 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 everyone's control of their own success to an extent. Blackjack, a little different.
But the roulette wheel, you're in control of your own success. 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, I guess I'll give you a fist pump. You know, 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 14 14 baby yeah baby that was a hot number i had uh i had uh 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 brain and I owe you 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.

Nice, man.

But well, that does it for no dumb questions.

Nice.

You know that. Thank you so much for coming on, Adam.
This is incredible. Iconic, man.
You too, fellas. Yes.
Yes. Come on, Jason.
Hit me. So you recently just finished a stand-up special.
Yes. Yes.
That's going to be launching on, I think, Tuesday on Netflix, right? Yes. Yes.
It comes out on Tuesday. I was doing a tour of a couple of years, you know, in and out.
I kind of do it like I go away for a couple of weeks and I go back home for a month or two. Then I go do another couple of weeks, that kind of thing.
Yeah. And when I was out on the tour, I was like, oh, man, I probably should make a special just so I because 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 Netflix said that sounds good and then I called Josh Safdie who's this great director and he did uncut gems him and his brother Benny did uncut gems and I said to Josh you would you want to maybe direct a comedy special and he did uncut gems him and his brother benny did uncut gems and i said to josh you would you want to maybe direct a comedy special and he said yeah yeah 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 we it's just it's a special but it's kind of like a movie it's different it's different, yeah.
I cannot wait for everybody to see this, man. They let us preview it, and that was alone the coolest thing ever.
Oh, yeah. It was awesome, brother.
Thank you, bud. You're right.
It is different, and it's kind of segmented. There's a whole thing going back and forth with the projection and all that.
How do you even get to creating something like that? I know that stand-, 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? Well, I was kind of ready to just do a normal stand-up special.
I was excited because I was kind of locked in. When you do stand up and you're on the road, it evolves.
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. And so I was kind of locked into a certain way that I was ready to throw down.
And then Josh was just kind of like, you know, we seen seen you do a stand-up special already i did one like six six years ago so he said let's try to come up with a new way to present it so that's kind of what happened what made you want to get back into the stand-up realm like you took a long hiatus from it not too long i saw 100 fresh live actually i was at the uh the hayworth out there in la dudeA., dude. That's right, buddy.
I remember seeing you. I was in a whole other world.
And I remember two just off the top that I still remember. There's a phone wall of keys.
Yes, yes, yes. I fucking sing that every single time I walk out of the goddamn door.
Oh, I love that, buddy. I haven't forgot them since.
Love that then uh and then uh i want to grow old with you dude yes i sang that too yes yes i sang that for the special and that was six years ago yeah yeah yeah that is buddy that was six years ago when i saw you that was so fucking cool man i saw you at the uh at the in my in the dressing room back there at the hayworth you're the the fucking man, dude. You too, buddy.
And, and, 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. 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. And then all of a sudden I was was doing a lot of movies, and it just became like your schedule was kind of overwhelmed.
And so I stopped doing stand-up for maybe 20 years or so. Sheesh.
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 Macdonald all talking about their gigs they had that weekend. 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. That's awesome.
That's awesome. Well, make sure everyone you check out Love You.
It's streaming now on Netflix. Wonderful jokes.
It's a very unique, as we've talked about, comedy stand-up special uh including a wonderful ode to comedy which man oh yeah if this world needs comedy more than ever uh it was just beautifully done really well done thank you man yeah we wrote it wrote a song that kind of just talked about all the all the movies and comedians that influenced me and my my 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. So wrote a song that puts a lot of that stuff in there.
It's got music. It's got a flamenco guitar that starts off with right away.
I'm like, man, he's bringing it right off the bat that's right i dude i did my best by the way that was terrifying because i knew sometimes when i'm alone in my room playing my guitar i go man i think i could have been a guitar player i'm pretty damn good then when i get on stage i start getting my my fingers get tight everything's nerve-wracking so when i was shooting a special i was like come on man let's get this

thing right 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 oh yeah yeah yeah that happens on

occasion that happens yeah yeah yeah you don't you don't like those times all right let's talk

about happy gilmore 2 because you got that coming up you just said you're moving to jersey here

coming up yes you're going there for right the whole thing was to get to hang out with Travis. That's why we put it together.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going there.
Travis, by the way, thank you. I heard you talking about it 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 we were like imagine if travis was my first my first baby how funny that would be just a badass but uh we know i think i got the swing down you do i think i got the swing down can you crack it like that i was out there the other day and uh it was it was literally the day after you went on fallon and uh and told everybody and i was like man you know what i just got to do a ceremonial one and just you know and i fucking ripped it you did it felt so good dude you bagged it good what a feeling when you look up and that thing's going straight you're like that works how did that happen it's just oh i bet you ripped the shit at you. What do you hit feeling when you look up and that thing's going straight.
You're like, that works, man. How did that happen?

It's just the feeling.

I bet you ripped the shit out of it.

What do you hit him when you play?

You bang it.

You bang it long, don't you?

Yeah, I can hit it about 320 consistently off the drive.

Son of a bitch.

But I could be three holes over or right next to the hole.

It's either way.

No, but I've seen you swing.

It is nice.

It's fun.

I got to say, when I'm doing the Happy Gilmore swing,

I'm maybe one for four with that.

It's not a thing.

A little TV magic on the back end?

It's definitely, I call my own cuts.

All right, let's see.

Here we go.

All right, buddy.

That's a long walk up.

Boom!

You can hear Pat Mahomes in the background telling you where it went.

That's got a good swing, too.

He can bang him, too.

I'm sure you guys have fun golfing up.

He's a way better player than I am.

He takes it way more serious.

I'm just out there for the fun, man.

Yeah, well, you're a fun man.

Everybody on this little hang here besides me seems like they have fun on the course. I get a little snappy out there.
A little frustrated. Have you gotten back into playing at all just to kind of get ready for the movie? Did you take time off from playing golf? 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, I played when I was a kid. I played when I was like 12.
And my dad was awesome. My dad was a really good golfer.
He'd shoot in a low 70s. I still can't do it.
I can't get it there. Holy cow.
I can't get down low. I've had a good nine.
I had a good nine maybe two weeks ago at Riviera. Oh, nice.
I think I could say. That's where they play the Genesis Open.
That's a legit course. Exactly.
That's a tough one. I mean, I played from the whites, but 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? Dude, I suck.
You suck. I have a i have a very little it's like third to last

in the tahoe golf outing oh yeah it was not good didn't break 90 one time i hear you that's kind of

my my spot to around 88 or something i'm good i'm good probably playing 18 when it gets to like 18

three days in a row i am just cooked man i am cooked and my swing is all over the place i'm

not made for three days of golf in a row that's a lot lot of thinking. That's a lot of thinking.
I can't stay still for that long. Like right around hole six, I start going, what the hell am I doing here? What happened to my life? Do they have burgers on the turn? What are we? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Once I eat. That's so funny.
When I grew up, my dad, was a, we used to play at this one place and I think it was Hole 13. They used to put out Polish sausages and hot dogs and stuff like that.
And every time I ate there my father would go, oh, there it goes. Game over.
He's going to stink now. I'd be like, no, no, no.
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? I was about to say, you inspired an entire generation to get on the golf course, man. I promise you, you did.
I was one of the kids. We used to go up to the public course all the time and just wanted to absolutely hammer them and hit them with the happy Gilmore swing and everything.
And we were hockey players The movie... It hit extra hard.
It hit so hard, man. Both you guys remind me of my friends so much growing up.
If you met my friends... You actually saw a few at the U2 show, right? That was awesome, man.
How cool was that concert? That was incredible. it was more fun seeing you there, buddy.
We love seeing you. No, dude.
I was telling Trav, I've told him before, I reminded him again today, I have not been starstruck much of my life. And seeing all of you guys next to me, the entire ensemble, especially you, it was like, man, where the fuck am I at right now? That was man it's insane man i was like i came here to watch you too and i saw every person that like i ever looked up to like and like all of the best shows all the best movies like it was so cool it was awesome thank you man well we love seeing you too but we talked about you flying home night.
Anyways, that was a fun time. But both you boys remind me of exact dudes I hung out with growing up.
And you two guys, the guys, they would protect me. I was a little bit of a wise guy.
And I had a couple of boys like you always around making sure I didn't get beat up too much. Jason, speaking of kind of like being in a room where you're like, how the fuck did I get here? Was there ever a moment like that early on for you where you're just like, how did it happen so fast? How did I get here? Yes.
What is this? Yes. Yes.
I'm sure. I like, I don't remember anything.
Saturday night live. That kind of did it to you.
Every week you'd meet superstars that you grew up with, Dan Aykroyd, like all the original SNL cast. We got to meet so many of those cast members.
And then just comedians we all loved growing up. Then rock stars, we got to meet Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen.
Everybody we talked about, all of a sudden we were in the room shooting the shit with him it was incredible that's awesome man before before we get off uh happy gilmore though i was i'm actually curious i'm not familiar with how the original like thought process of the movie came came about oh okay yeah and i'm a little i'm pretty curious like like was it just you just messing around on a on a golf course and it kind of connecting the dots or what? It was 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 ended up playing pro hockey.
He's a great hockey player. In New Hampshire, it's a big hockey town.
Oh, yeah. Hell, yeah.
Yeah. So Kyle came out with me and my dad.
And he didn't play much golf, but he was banging them. We were young, maybe ninth grade or something like that, and he was banging them.
My father kept saying, man, you hockey players, there's something about your wrist or the way you turn or something like that. And I just was like, I think I was in college or finishing up college or just maybe 23.
And I thought, man, that'd be pretty funny to see a guy with a hockey mentality have such a big hit that he gets on the tour. And I remember calling my dad and telling my dad about it and going, what do you think? And he was like, it could be pretty good.
We'll see. We'll see.
We'll see. But me and my buddy Herlihy, 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, when you putt, what do you think? And it's all in the hips and stuff like that.
That was my dad. I would say, what is it? He said, it's all in the hips, baby.
It's all in the hips. And that's why we wrote that shit.
Chubbs. What's in store with the sequel? Without giving away too much, obviously, but what are we looking for here? First of all, Travis, we're going to have fun because the scene you're doing is with so many great golfers.
It's going to be amazing. You're going to be funny as hell.

Oh, yeah.

The movie itself, it just picks up from an older guy

who's played golf a long time.

Some stuff goes on in his life.

He's a little different.

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

And then we kind of try to get his his life cooking again wonderful i love it that's i think it's cool it's gonna be gonna be i mean we're trying to make you laugh the whole time but it's it's got a guy if you're doing it to it if you're doing it it's gonna be fucking great i don't see you're on fallon letting everybody know that you've been waiting for the right storyline you've been been waiting to feel the moment of it and to do it right. Yes, yes, yes.
We got all the trust in the world. You're going to bring Happy back and make him lovable again, man.
Thank you, bro. Thank you.
I love you. 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 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?

Are we sure about this one?

All right, this is good.

We're just examining everything.

We just want it to be as cool as possible.

The original got me on the golf course and also got me in the batting cages

doing shit I probably shouldn't be doing.

But toughening it up.

You did that? Just toughening it up. See, man? I knew you could handle that shit.
I'd run from anything going on. How fast of a ball was hitting you? It's like 56.
It was crazy, man. I was the guy in Little League when I got hit by a pitch.
I just rolled in the chalk for a fucking 45 minutes. Oh! You got to wear it.
You got to wear it. Don't rub.
Don't rub it. That's funny.
Yeah, that's good. Yeah, boys, did you play Little League baseball too? Oh, hell yeah.
Everything, man. Everything sports related.
It was like the backyard was a sports complex we uh we would go up and get all the used equipment from played again sports and my dad would get like everything for like 20 and he would just get the uh equipment put it in our hands and let us have some fun with it man and and so every day was getting home from school just so you could play sports right exactly yeah yeah it's best. Yeah, yeah.
It's all we know, man. It's all we know.
Yeah. Let's get to some more familiar questions here.
In case you aren't aware, Jason and I are not professional interviewers. I don't even know how to be a professional outside of football.
We're just two big fans with a lot of fucking questions for you, man. As football players, we got to lead with this.
How many football guys come up to you and talk about the Waterboy, man?

I hear Boucher a lot.

Yeah.

I'm very proud that I got to be Bobby Boucher.

I have met a lot of great NFL fellas who have talked to me about Bobby

and Bobby's mama and foosball, just foosball. Just foosball, baby, making sure mama don't find out.
I'm playing foosball. That kind of shit.
We, we have. Yes.
Did you play? Did you play growing up? I played Pop Warner till I, at 12. I played till 12.
I was a quarterback. I was a quarterback in Pop Warner.
I was playing baseball and then I was a pitcher and I was 11 and Ken Stillman, the coach of the team, came over and talked to my parents and said, maybe Adam could be a quarterback. My mother was like, oh, Adam doesn't play football.
My father was like, let him play. My father played football, actually.
He was a linebacker. So then I got in there.
I got on the team team played two years at pop and it was it was amazing so cool man so freaking cool do you play any other sports you play football baseball baseball was my favorite uh basketball i always played every sport i when i was young i was decent then everybody got big and and way stronger than me so i became less and less of you didn't notice me. 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. I went from batting second or third to batting sixth and seventh and maybe deeper.
The older I got, the worse I got. But you're still on the courts, man.
I was about to say. Yes.
Your skills on the court are iconic because you're just a facilitator. You just see the court.
You see things before they happen. Remind me of a guy like Patty Mahomes and how his game is on the court.
I promise you. That behind the backer.

I have dreams of throwing that to you, buddy.

Backdoor bounce passes.

Oh, yeah.

I'm all backdoor.

That's all I ever talk to.

Because when I play, I always play with young dudes.

And I always, if they're not moving, I always, like, whisper them.

I go, you got to move, bro.

You got to stay on the move.

You got to go.

Let it go.

I'll fake up high. Just cut down.
You got to move, though, for't gonna shoot i gotta get it to you just a natural leader baby yeah i love it man it's so fun watching you uh and all those highlights man oh man you guys must have been fun on a basketball court grabbing rebounds chasing you should beat my ass literally not even i would win the game, but it would be a brutal ass beating. And I would just get thrown on the cement the entire time.
I used to win until you hit puberty, I would whoop your ass. But then there was one day.
It was the last time we ever got in a fist fight. Oh, yeah.
He freaking is just driving the lane, and he's finally as tall as I am, doing this stupid fucking hook shot. I had a mean hook shot.
It was so buttery.

It was so buttery. I had a right hand and a left.

So I start fouling and just beating the

crap out of them.

I can play defense. I can play

some defense now. There's minimal offense

being played. I'll set

picks. I will pick and rebound all

day long. That I see.
That I know.

That's cool.

You boys on the court

must have been scary for the

whole neighborhood. You told us about how

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

You told us about how Happy Gilmore got. How did you create a Creole Southern 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.

This was ridiculously good work.

This was before I had seen Life is Beautiful, and Roberto Benigni did a great job with that.

He did very good.

He stepped it up for that shit.

Yeah.

Yeah, no, I wasn't getting Oscars.

I never thought of that stuff when I was doing Boucher, but I couldn't believe it.

It was like we had this idea, a water boy gets picked on a lot.

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 the idea.

And we were like, let's make him from the south.

Let's make him Cajun.

And then we just went from there, man.

We just, I don't know how it happened. We just filled out a script like that so good so good it probably felt right as it came together too you're just like man this is coming together so smooth because it's so if we start to finish that thing is perfect oh dude i mean we were so excited writing that thank thanks for all these compliments guys honestly i i love I love you.
I appreciate it. I remember with The Waterboy, we wanted that he had a very protective mama.
There was this movie, Carrie. It was a terrifying movie and it was an overprotective mom who didn't want her daughter to be around anything too heavy.
Anyways, so we kind of wrote a mom like that that's overprotective to Bobby, and so he had to sneak around and play his foosball and shit. It's so good, man.
The breadth of which 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, 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 and you see the next cast, you're like, hey, what about us? We would this and that.
But the older I got, I'd watch every cast. I'd be like, fuck, these guys are incredible.
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. Anyways, it was lucky.
Lucky. Our era, we were all best friends, me and my buddies, just like you guys are with your teammates.
And now we get to watch the youth be funny. Do you have any skit? What was your favorite sketch or the one that you think is the most underrated from your time in SNL? I mean honestly fellas you know you guys both did the show you guys were great i saw you that fucking weekend when you came back i was telling you i'm fucking i mean you were so cool confident as fuck out there funny as shit you guys honestly you guys remind me so much of my boys growing up that's why when on the show, I was like, fuck, it would be like if my friend Dave Kinnair hosted the show.
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. I fucking loved watching you out there.
Just channeling my inner Sandman and Farley, baby. There you go.
Yes, yes. Oh, my God.
You

would have loved Farley.

He would have loved you guys, man.

Farley was a fucking great football player,

by the way. Heck yeah.
Heck yeah.

A little Marquette rugby, too, baby.

Exactly.

And ready to fight, by the way.

A couple of drinks in, he was ready to go.

He was ready to throw down. For sure.

It was honestly kind of like when he had a couple in them, we were like, calm the fuck down, bro. Let's not do this.
No one else can fight like you. So good, man.
I like it as soles. Yes.
That was one of my favorite ones, dude. Oh, you like the juice.
The juice is good, yeah. 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. Oh, yeah.
Heck yeah. That dude, he wrote so many great skits.
So cool. And he wrote the juice skit.
And we got to walk around and go, you like it? Yeah, you like it? That's good. You do it smoother than me, bud.
It's so good, man. I forgot how to drop it in there.
It's the best, man. How many times do you get quotes told? I mean, it's got to be just nonstop.
We get it a lot on the streets. On the streets of New York, they scream some shit at me.
Does it get old? No, no. It's always fucking fun.
It's always nice shit when it comes at you. that you you – 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 – it was on your album when you said this and this. And I go, fuck, I don't remember saying any of that shit.
Actually, last night my daughter is watching 51st Dates.

And she's like, Dad, come watch.

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

And she's like, watch this.

Look how sweet you are.

I go.

And then I told her, I go, I got to be honest with you.

I remember Drew saying all that stuff.

I don't remember me even talking.

It's like I look back at the shit.

I don't even fucking remember scene to scene. I'm like, oh, we i didn't remember that place i'm getting old boys have you uh have you been someone that like you you like to watch everything that you have or i mean i'm sure nowadays you're just you're so engulfed and you're in the edit and like directing it and everything right yes yes yes i've done that so long now that once we're done and the movie comes out i kind of i probably don't watch it uh 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 yeah i 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 the comedy stuff that I don't need to watch it.
I was so fulfilled doing it. That energy, yeah.
Yeah, the energy is just so fulfilling that I don't want to ruin it by critiquing myself. I know, I know.
You definitely can look at your shit after and go, oh, I was better than that what the fuck was i doing there i got a lot of that believe me i got shit from when i was young that my kids show me i go i don't i don't want to know that fucking exists holy shit that was insane i watched the monologue because that was a moment that i wanted to remember forever and like i'd like i just being on that fucking stage was the cool behind being behind that door and being on that stage and being in that studio was just so iconic and you fucking walked out like so relaxed man how about being behind that fucking door dude and you should and your heart's pounding through your chest like holy shit it's happening right yeah and just don't you travis don't fall down these fucking steps do not fall down these steps you are live you are live you should have seen him to help you too that was nice i was about to say you should have seen him in the first rehearsal i was there the day before watching him kind of get ready and he comes out that door and he like starts choking up and i'm like there's nobody here this ain't live like what are we choking up for and he's saying exactly coming like standing behind that door yeah seeing the signatures all of that like fully hit him and it's just like such a moment so totally that jason's been beating my ass over my whole life so i'm a crybaby anyways i just i get really really i'm engulfed and in when i'm when i'm in on something i'm so fucking in on it and it just took it over man yeah it just took me over it it did yeah get you teary-eyed i had some of that i hosted the show again like around six years ago and um same kind of feel i'd walk around on a thursday two days before the fucking shit the show and then i was getting teary eyed and looking and so many memories and so many greats that have been there and musical acts and fucking, you just think of when you were a little kid and all the shit, all the joy that places brought you. It's, it's the best, man.
Yeah. You're in there forever.
Now, both of you guys got to kill on that shit. I love it, man.
You more than anybody I've ever watched has like, it's not that not that you stayed the same like i know you've evolved but you've been so authentic in everything you've done like from 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 how have you i don't know has this been like how do you do that same way as you guys would i do in your lives same shit you feel comfortable with certain people yeah the same wavelength you're on what makes you guys happy what what makes you click like you with with teammates or just fucking you know off season the guys you hang out with that's kind of like what i got with my buddies when we make the movies and we sit in a room and write the shit and have a similar sensibility. So I guess that's why we all do it together.
Were you a Belushi, an Aykroyd? Yes. Like going into it, did you have like the guys where you were like, man, if I could just somehow be as funny as that guy? Well, I'll tell you, you never fucking think you're as good as the cast before you yeah so like yes belushi ackroyd ackroyd i mean he became like a a guy that we hung out with we got to hey i loved him so much but and he treated us so great so awesome it's kind of like fucking uh andy reed just you have this respect for the fucking guy and what he's seen uh-huh and when he talks to you kind of go yes yes yes yes you feel like you're getting knowledge all the time and fucking uh uh the the cast mates before you feel the same shit you're just like whatever they say there's there's no no reason for me to talk unless they ask me to talk and that's about about it.
I know that feeling. Got that with Dana Carvey.
Got that with all the guys, Dennis Miller, all the guys who were older than us. And Jan Hooks and Victoria Jackson and the whole cast that was there before us.
John Lovell. We just fucking Kevin Nealon.
All those guys. Whatever they had to say, we were loving it.
Just a sponge, man. Yes, exactly.
Exactly. That's how you got to be.
I'm a girl, Dad. My oldest is four, so I got a ways to go.
Yes. One, do you have any advice? And two, 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 at that age, yeah, there's no rush. Okay.
All right. No rush to get to me.
I got some animated movies that I feel kind of comfortable telling somebody, yeah, maybe you can watch Hotel Chance of Mania or Leo or something like that. I go, yeah, you'll feel all right there.
But I got to tell you, I have fucking three-year-olds come up to me and talk about Billy Madison. 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. He's a little hungry lately.
But it'll all happen. My own kids, I don't throw my stuff at them too quick.
It just happens. They haven't seen a few of the filthy ones yet, and let's hope that they don't need to see that stuff.
Too good. Yeah, well, I actually saw you take the girls to the Taylor Swift premiere at the AMC theaters.
That was, by the way, what a girl. What a girl.
You know, I mean, she means so much to our house. Since the kids, I think I was shooting like Grown Ups or That's My Boy or something in Massachusetts, and we listened to, and the kids were little, and we were listening to Taylor Swift and listening to every song.
It was one of the first times that you listen to every song on the record like when i was a kid i think the beatles you did that with maybe elton john i will you do every tune oh yeah start to finish you know when we start to finish it's not like three hits and you go all right let me skip fucking taylor in our house. They knew every word.
I loved listening to her in the car. I love what she had to say.
Every message. Every melody.
Just the production. How cool she was.
What she meant to young girls. What she means to women.
What she means to guys doing the right thing in life. Throughout the years.
Saturday live saw the kids there took her time hung out with them and then at her uh at her premiere for the movie she talked to the kids to talk to them about their movie you know they did this bat mitzvah movie and she talked about what she liked in it and she just floors my family so cool man floors them like i i said somebody asked me who do you get nervous around i said i do get nervous around taylor swift because i don't want to fucking blow it for my kids and say something stupid so i'm just like shit she means so much to my fucking house i better say the right thing here oh my gosh she was so grateful that you uh you took the girls up there man you said it was absolute She's lifetime forever, along with the whole world. She just means so much.
I appreciate that, brother. And you being together and you being you guys, you're, I mean, that first, when you guys first started dating, my guy was my family.
Like, yes, look how good they are together. He's a gentleman.
And she's having so much fun with it like anytime Taylor's laughing with you my whole fucking family is like high-fiving so good man you gotta be sweating over here we gotta see that dog behind you dude come here baby did you just say that dog's name is Bagel yeah Bagel is that's such a good a good name. That is such a good name.
I've had a bunch of bulldogs over the years. I've had a meatball, matzo ball, pickles, and this is a babu, and here's a bagel.
But bagels are doing me now. Come here, buddy.
What the fuck? You want me to pick you up? Come here, buddy. Say hi.
Oh, God. I'm so pumped to see you.
Let's call you. There he is.
Oh, yeah, baby. There he is.
All right. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. We had to see him, man.
The Georgia Bulldog. Yeah, he's been.
That's a good one right there. The Georgia Bulldog.
I don't know how he can handle that heat. Yeah, dude.
They don't like the heat, man. I know.
Every time he's out there, my good Lord. He is not in his element right now.
They get the ice out for him. They do the right thing.
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 an avenue of athletes being comfortable on the screen? Well, you guys. Has anybody bombed it, basically, is what I'm asking.
Oh, no sure no names no I don't got anybody who left that I went oh what happened there man 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're, you got a busy life and you're coming and you've got to make my fucking movie 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 quick as possible. Don't want anybody sitting and being bored.
So, but, but no, I've got to meet so many greats over this and you guys, you grew up. I think there's some sort of connection to how fucking confident you are.
And comedy, when you're being funny, it's it's usually if you're confident in what you're saying and committing to something. So if you ask an athlete, it's probably going to be a little bit better if you say it like this and, you know you say it.
Yes, sir. Let's go.
You're coachable. All you guys are coachable.
Yeah. There you go.
I was about to say, got to be coachable in life, baby. You certainly do.
How do you decide to make the jump from comedy guy to more of the dramatic stuff throughout your career? That was just a lot. Was it just a challenge that you wanted to do? Shit.
Was it or was it like yeah yeah yeah it it is that now it's like that now when i was younger i did a movie a long time ago called punch drunk love and that was just luck luck i 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 i you know like waterboy and shit like that we we have fun writing that shit and doing that shit and it's the best time we we could 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 fucking 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 rushmore of of like jason did uh mount rushmore centers centers i did yes who is your mount rushmore of uh of well your characters characters on here yeah of your of your characters like yeah who is more of your characters you think yeah shit i never never thought about this it kind of changes what in which i i love some of them one day and then the next day i'm like why the fuck did i do that but all right uh let's see billy madison's always got to be up there because it was kind of the first movie that they let let me let me kind of have a little control yeah me and my buddies and and uh tamra davis was the director and we kind of we were young. And we believed in it.
So we got that done. I love Bobby Boucher.
Shit, man. And I love being that guy.
I love doing movies with Drew Barrymore and with Jennifer Aniston. So that was just I can't pick.
I don't know what my guys names are in those. But whoever was in those right now I guess I don't remember at all I know Robbie Hart was one of them but whatever I did with those guys I'd like to put up there and I don't mind putting little Nicky up there too gets better.
Another one where you just engulfed. You just brought us all in with this.
Yeah. It's so good, man.
The sideways face. It's so good, man.
Oh, man. I remember Nicholson.
I met Jack Nicholson before we did our movie together. And he said, now, before we start this, what type of movie is it is it little nicky and he goes hey and i gotta go oh this is this did it nicky to me that felt nice that's so cool man yeah that's so cool that's oh i'll tell you what that's probably the the most epic uh mount rushmore i've ever fucking heard oh yeah i love that dude Nicky up there.
This isn't on the run now, but I want to know who's your Mount Rushmore comedians on your list. Well, my guys when I was young.
I love so many now. Of course.
It's much broader than it was, but as a kid, what fucking connected me the most, Rodney Dangerfield, that was my number one. Love Rodney, love Caddyshack, love Back to School.
Oh, yeah, man. Back to School, yeah, baby.
The best. So good.
The best. And I got to meet him and hang with him, fucking loved him.
So cool. And shit, when I was young, I loved the Jerry Lewis, the Abbot Costello, the Marx Brothers.
I loved that stuff because I would watch that when my parents had a great time with that. Then I loved, you know, Belushi and Aykroyd was power in my house.
Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy.
That was kind of it, too. Eddie, fucking stand-ups.
You know, Stephen Wright was a big deal to me. Cheech and Chong.
Fucking love Cheech and Chong. Yeah, baby.
Love. Yeah, yeah.
I had a million of them. Actually, the special one, the last song, I tried to throw a lot of the people who meant something to me in there.
I miss this stuff. There's this comedy record, Derek and Clive.
You guys ever hear of them? It was 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 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, 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.
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.
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 take some pointers from some guys? I was scared, man. I was, by the way, fellas, when I was a QB, I dropped so many snaps.
I used to, I used to, my coach used to go, would you get your hands in there? I was so, I didn't get in there. I was terrified.
As a center, you got to feel the pressure. You got to feel the pressure.
I apologize to you and everybody before you. Jim Otto, everybody.
I made a mistake. I felt so bad getting my hand on that cup.
But when I fucking – when I got my hands in there deep, man, it always worked out. Oh, yeah.
No, I took – Sean Salisbury was nice enough. 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, it would be like straight T-26 on set.
Straight T-26, all right, ready, break. Then I'd get out there, my little baby voice i would throw that that quarterback thing on i never knew that bullshit i was bullshit when i did it i never sounded cool but uh i remember salisbury would always yell at me like oh you gotta command that team get out there and fucking be a man about this this is so fucking Bagel.
So good. In 97, you wrote a song called The Lonesome Kicker.
Yes. Loved it.
Would you ever write a song about any other positions, or has that come up in your mind? Any other sport like that or what, man? Shit, yeah. I mean, if something fresh comes up, for sure, man.
But we did fucking have the best time. NFL Films helped make a video with us.
I got to hang out with a bunch of Steelers, Cordell Stewart, the bus. Yeah.
They were all in the video. We hung out there.
I've had a lot of dreams come true, buddy. I met a lot of you dudes, and I love you all.
You're the best, dude. Thank you.
Well, let's get to some no dumb questions with the Sandman himself. I'm ready.
The segment is called No Dumb Questions because there's no such thing as dumb questions, Adam. Just dumbass people like me and Jason.
Would you mind helping us with just one, baby? Please make me a part of it. Let's do this.
All right. From Hey Buck Nasty, whatever that may mean, out of all the movies that the Sandman is dropping, we still want to know what's happening in Bobby Boucher and Vicky Valley Court's life.
Did Bobby ever make it to the NFL? Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, first of all, the good news is Bobby saw Vicky's boobies, and he liked them.
Loved them, actually. Loved them.
He said like, but in that moment, he loved them. He loved them.
And thank you very much, Vicky Valachor, for that. He did go to the NFL, I believe.
Played a couple of years. Mama was just...
Mama wanted him home. So he had two good years running around with the teams, you know, saw some shit he probably shouldn't have seen.
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.
It's a beautiful story. It's a beautiful story.
We had to at least figure out what happened. Yeah, yeah.
And that wraps it up with no dumb questions today. Man, honestly, we can't thank you enough for jumping on with this, brother.
You are the you are the goat 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 seeing, just feeling like I'm a part of something as cool 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 the Netflix specialties got coming out, man.
Appreciate that. And boys, on your end, both of you so fucking happy for everything you guys got.
All you've done, congratulations, Jason. I know you're going to have a great time announcing and doing a new start.
You kick so much ass. The fucking speech you gave when you guys won was unbelievable.
The funniest. The best.
The best. Everyone loves you.
And Travis, so fucking great watching you dominate out there and just bulldoze and soft hands and just a stud. Always in the right spot.
I don't know how the fuck you get so open. Or when you're not open, it doesn't matter.
He's going to get it to you. You'll make shit happen.
Both of you guys. And by the way, Jason, you know the cross-eyed guy in all my movies? Yes.
He's in the special. He's in the coffee.
The biggest fucking Eagles fan loves you. Yeah, baby.
Loves you. And when you guys fucking won, holy shit was their relief around.
That fucking guy's depression. Every time the Eagles wouldn't win on a Sunday, I'd be like, will you fucking wake up? You've been sleeping for fucking 20 hours.
It's over. We're on to next week.
But you winning the Super Bowl was the greatest, buddy. He loves you.
We all love you. Both of you and your family.
Say hi to your parents and say hi to both your families. And Taylor, tell her we love her too.
You know that. You're the best, dude.
The absolute best. We won't take any more of your time, man.
The Sandman, ladies and gentlemen. Right on, boys.
We'll keep this computer on. Don't worry.
Oh, you're the man, dude. Okay, peace.
We can't thank you enough for the time. We'll see you in a few weeks, brother.
