we should just say his name because it's going to be. No, no. I've met this person one time. We should just say his name because it's going to be... I 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 in 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 you haven't already seen the commercial with Jason and Kylie, NFL Sunday Ticket got some new spokesmen. How about that?

That's right, Kylie's actually one of the most natural actors I've ever seen. 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 kinda get to be goofballs together and it's a lot of fun. You started to show that age, you're starting to get bags under your eyes? No, I was just supposed to be like 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? Very, it looks great, Jason. Nice. 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 be you're going to need the knowledge to talk because it's you're obviously on the Monday night countdown this year. This is true. And then on top of that, it's like, 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 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 gonna use it for. I'm probably gonna use the multi-view.

I'm probably gonna 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 used 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 I kind of like as you get the stat view, you get the key plays, you can kind of like watch it 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? 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 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're might be a little behind the eight ball here. How have they started? The season hasn't started. I'm pretty sure you draft your team before the game start. There's gotta be a way I can start this. Like I mean, I'm not a fancy football guy, but I'm pretty sure this is already happened. Okay. All right. already happened. Okay. All right.

All right. Okay. Brandon's telling me right now. Yeah. Would I draft Travis? Yes, I would draft Travis, but 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 got to, 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 ones.

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 than 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 really don't podcast. I'm not even sure what I'm doing here.

Yeah, I think, I know that touchdowns are all that matters. So I know like running backs are hot commodities and like receivers are tight ends that score a lot of touchdowns are hot commodities. I'd imagine Jalen's pretty good with all the 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 RBs 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 like, I don't be in any fantasy leagues this year. Maybe you catch him next year. Yeah, I guess. I guess I'll just say, 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 dot 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 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. So not a month. That is a lie. I reported on the 19th of July. 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 you feeling, bud? How's the team look? I'm not gonna lie, man. I am excited as a motherfucker. I am extremely excited. You lost some of your facial hair.

Yes, yes. Well, I always do the, the Andy Reed special baby. You know, got to bubble. It looks good. It looks clean. Love to the, thanks bud. I grew out the hair though. I switched it up and while 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. I made it. I made it. I feel like I kind of go to jail every time I do this, but it's like a sanctuary at this point for me. It gets me in the head space of I get to work on my craft

and not think about anything else that's going on and I can really tune up my athletic abilities, man. And I, yeah, I've learned to love it out there. I really have. So I say this and it doesn't sound appealing, but I really do love it out there. I really do. And I do find myself, because I feel myself

starting at a very low point and then working my way to being an NFL football player. What do you love about St. Joe's? Well, this year I love the weather. 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 turf, especially throughout the preseason when you're really adding the miles up. Yeah, so being outside in front of the fans, that happens as well when you go inside. You're not around the fans and everybody that wants to enjoy training camp and coming off of two

Super Bowl runs there, it's pretty fun seeing Chiefs Kingdom show up week in, week out, and seeing some familiar faces like Rashid Wallace. Nice, I did see Rashid Wallace. Nick, yeah. How's he doing? Doing good? Oh, he's killing it.

He's making his rounds for his podcast. Oh, nice. And then, yeah, he's always been a Chiefs fan, though. I think the world found out he was a Chiefs fan when he got signed to the Detroit Pistons, and they actually, I believe they think the world found out he was a Chiefs fan when he got signed to the Detroit Pistons. And they actually I believe they went back to back, if I'm not mistaken, but he, he wore a Chiefs jersey and Chiefs hat while he's at his press day, signing for the Pistons, man. There we go. And if I just lied to everyone, I'm sorry.

Yeah. Oh, who cares? Wouldn't be the first time. Shout out to you. That happens on this podcast. Pat Mahome 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. It's kind of where I'm at.

What are you bringing? I don't need a TV. Whenever I'm in the 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. 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's not. It didn't take 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 Pete this year have made a lot of offseason acquisitions. Has anybody stood out to you throughout training camp practices preseason games? I don't know what 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 it's been a fun training camp to kind of just build on that. It's the first time that we've really came into the season with the core group of guys that we had the year before. And don't get me wrong, we lost a few guys here and there. Obviously MVS and Snead and Willie Gay. There were a bunch of guys that, or are a few guys that that ended up getting paid everywhere else and I'm happy as hell for him 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, 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 are on say on the same page as 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 when you talk about iron sharpens iron, it's like it's to the max. So I really feel like all the new guys that are coming in had to

kind of like raise their level of focus and maturity. And, and a lot of the young guys did. It's been fun. Well, you guys didn't play that much in the preseason games as 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, I'm 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 pre-season,

you don't get a week to prepare for the game plan going into a pre-season 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 got to really like go over your, your game plan. You don't spend as much time game planning specifically for your opponents. Exactly. I wasn't in tuned with the game plan and Pat Mahomes had a, he had like something in the back of his head when I walked when I walked across the line of scrimmage is like, what'd 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 Pat Mahomes, ladies and gentlemen, because even when you fuck up, he makes you right. This is just a bootplay naked. Um, Or oh, this is a true read. This is a true he's got the option to hand this off. Yeah, the old RPO is I know. So you were supposed to go to the flat right away and run this little rubber out potentially. Yeah, I could have gone that way.

I could have just did what I did and then got the first down this way. 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 different options. You 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 like, he might need my help in blocking.

He might need my help to like be available. So when I turned around, he was in mid, like behind the back pass, like a sports card. 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 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? This is I like I said, I I screwed this one up. 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 was that mad. Matter of fact, there's a clip of him having zero reaction and just that 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 more times than once in practices, yeah.

And people have only seen it in terms of like training camp practices or like him just screwing around during practice on like his side of the field with the other quarterbacks. To instinctually be able to do this is insane. It is. It's insane. To have the cojones, to be able to do this is insane. It is. It's insane. To have the cojones, to be able to just like throw something behind your back in traffic like that

is insane and he made a great point. He's not gonna do it just to do it. He's only gonna do it when he needs to do it. There was, it was gonna be a weird angle if he would've threw it overhand or if he would've threw it regularhand for sure if he would have threw it regular. Yeah, because there was the defender was right in between the the defensive end was yeah, the defensive end was making it difficult to you know, have it over top of them. Exactly. And yeah, with people around me, that might not have been

the best pass. So 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, and it's, it's fun to play with. Yeah, that was that was insanely cool to watch live. What? Um, is that typically the way it happens on like, a passive it makes sense for or is he usually doing it? Like where he's like, I'm gonna goof around and make sure I do this? You know, I mean, no, that's what I'm saying. And he, when he's been asked about this in, in like press conferences and stuff, he's told everybody like, I'm not going to do it just to like, have the highlight of it.

Like, I'm only going to do that when I need to do it. You know, and, and sure enough, it was a perfect situation for him. You know, I sometimes just take somebody to fuck it up. Well, good job because you brought that to life, Trav. 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 pissed.

I was like, why didn't you run the route that I wanted you to run, Trav? It just worked out. Got to get in your playbook, kid. Yeah, I think Andy had your back. He said, yeah, Got to get in your playbook, kid. Yeah. I think Andy had your back. He said, yeah, I saw the pat through him under the bus. Yeah. I think that was the most exciting thing that happened all preseason as well as being able to watch the new kickoff rule. What do you think of the new kickoff rule?

I'm so excited for it. I think it's fun. I was so against it. Why were you against it? Remember we were talking about it. They were changing it. We were like, I don't for it. I think it's fun. I was so against it. Why were you against it? Remember we were talking about it. They were changing and were like, I don't like it. It's the ceremonial football. 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 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 gonna name a guy, but I saw a guy almost get his head ripped off and I was, and it was a flag on us and I got so excited that I forgot whose team I was on and it was just like, woohoo! That's football! And yeah, it was exciting. All right, so that's all the football we're going to get into now. Chiefs and Eagles fans,

I'm a little out of the house. This segment, you guessed it, is brought to you by our friends at NFL Sunday Ticket. Boom. 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. We are just about a week out from from Chiefs 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 because he's in Paris. Jason and Kai took over the Paris Olympics. That's right. Jason 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 no matter when. And when you're playing football season, you miss the

winter Olympics. So, it's something that 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 that in. And we like Paris. We, Kylie and I, honeymoon in Paris. 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 a 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 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 the name of that major stadium is there. That was awesome. Do you know that those games, 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 sevens 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 know, you buy not whatever else it is, that one ticket, you're only watching that one event in most of that stuff. But that was what was awesome about the rugby

sevens. It was like you're seeing a bunch of action and it helps when the USA women's team was pretty darn good as well. The field hockey games were 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. Marshall S. Llaras It's so impressive to watch volleyball, man. Stan I mean, athletic as hell. The other one that we saw was the women team gymnastics final, which you want to talk about jumping. We watched like every girl go and do the floor routine. And Simone Biles is the last person. And I'm like, you know, she's getting older.

She's a little bit, we'll see how she looks. I mean. There's no way you really thought this. I did think that, because gymnasts don't, dude, because gymnasts, when you go look at like the age of gymnasts, they're usually not in their mid-20s and 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 all that like like exploit like you watch all these people do the floor routine. Then it's Simone is at the end and the very like within the first three seconds like, Oh, that's different. She just jumped five feet higher than everybody else that has done this. She just jumped five feet higher than everybody else that has done this. Wow. So good, man.

Yeah. So that was- It's such a feel good story, knowing the past and everything that she's had to go through and just to feel confident and getting back up there mentally, it's the best, man. So happy for her. And America's so proud of her, man. Watching all those girls stand up there and represent the USA and get a gold medal, that was probably the highlight for the Olympics, being able to be there and witness that.

So cool. But it was all great. I mean, I met a lot of the women's rugby team players, Lona, Nicole, I mean, the whole team at one point. I met 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, it's a hotbed. I didn't know that.

I mean, it makes sense that Kai played. So we were hanging out with their families, watching the games, grabbing drinks afterwards. 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. 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's kinda stupid.

Shut up. You can't, it's not. I'm not believing any of this. There are certain things that just don't make sense. 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. You can't use the backside 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? And 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 to 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. Dude. Just being honest. You can't kick it. If it hits a foot, it's a penalty. It's a foul. Just being honest. I'm telling you.

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. Just because you're not skilled enough with the stick does not mean it's stupid, Jason. I'm just saying it would decrease the stoppages. It would make the game more exciting because you'd be able to utilize more appendages.

This guy's a businessman. He just wants to make the game more exciting. It's like the opposite of soccer. You can't use your feet. You can't even use your hand. I guess you can kind of block stuff with your hand, 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 discipline on your creativity and being creative within the rules of the game, Jason. All right. So Jason sucks at field hockey. Kind of shaking your head up here. And then you saw the US 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 that I met former Olympians. Oh, shit. Nice. Allie Reisman. I don't think I saw her medal. I saw it at the rugby game. There were two former gold medalists that were rocking there. One was from Rio. Dude, I got to say this story. 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 like baby, like 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. Phelpsy. Kylie, if you see Michael Phelps, you don't say someone is holding the baby. Like, what are we talking about right now?

It's the most decorated Olympian in the history of the Olympics holding a baby. Number one athlete of our day. You lead with Michael Phelps. Ha ha ha. He is funny as fuck for that. He turned around, you don't even see the baby. You just see Michael Phelps. Yeah, I was like, are you kidding 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 is always a highlight. A Feltz offspring is exciting for America. That's fair. 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 on Vegas during Justin Timberlake's golf outing. Oh nice. 8 a.m. golf. 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 not- Yeah. I did not instigate the arm wrestling.

Yes, but at the same time, you agreed to do this. Yeah, I did. Hopefully I'm saying this right, but you arm wrestled Nicole Heverland. Yes, I did. 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 there are their offhand is grabbing event. Yeah any Event no, it's any legitimate arm wrestling event. Your offhand is grabbing something. They're not free. You're just making this up No, I'm talking about a legitimate arm wrestling event and show me what their offense is 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 table.

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. Not torquing anything. Leave it to Jason to move the ball forward a little bit on those, uh, those touch pushes. Leave it to Jason to...

Listen, I'm going to, if you let me round my, 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 it's like, if you win, it's like, oh cool. The big guy just won arm wrestling event. If you lose, it's like, hey, he's got your ass kicked by someone much smaller who should not be beating you in arm wrestling. Lose, lose. But I get challenged by an Olympian. What do I do? I can't say no. You say I'm going to play the climb because I have elbow. I have bones.

I went for that. I legitimately went for that. I said, actually, my elbow is kind of screwed up and I could tell that Nicole was not going for it. And I was like, okay, you got to sell it. We're going to do this. Aren't we? All right. Let's do it. And now I have legitimate arm wrestlers challenging me. Of course you do. Just like, I forget what his name is. You've seen him all over Instagram. He does like freaking weights with his wrist and I'm like, dude, I'm not arm wrestling you motherfucker. There's no way. There's no chance we're doing this.

You think there's something wrong with your elbow until you go up against that guy. My elbow is there. There is something wrong with my elbow. I tore my growth plate when I was younger and it has never healed. My elbow would snap if I went up. Devin Lorette.

Shout out to Devin Lorette. Jason is out. He's terrified of you. Yeah, I'm not doing it. Well, let's just drop a poll and see, Jason, whether you guys, the 92%ers, we'll leave it to you guys. Did Jason cheat or not? It's as simple as that. I don't need a poll on this. It's not cheating. I do. I need one. So we're going to do it. The general public has no purview in this in this this category.

They have no they have no right of of what the rules are. You can't retroactively. If we take a general poll, everybody lets you use the backside of the stick and 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 some. Never heard of that rule.

Just watch any, there's a freaking entire handle that they're grabbing in all these events. Dude, all right, so we'll get off the topic. We'll let the polls decide. I'm not letting the polls decide. No, the poll decides nothing. All right, you win. Kylie posted on Instagram 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. Jason, I can't help but notice you have like... Impeccable tits? Yeah, 100%. Your tits are impeccable tits? Yeah, 100%. Your tits are impeccable.

I am so jealous. I wish my tits sat up like that. No, you have what looks to be like a handball from, is that a legit handball? No, it's either a volleyball, 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, let's do this. I got a rugby ball and a mini volleyball from men's volleyball. I mean, it was still pretty cool. It was dope. Well, I take it back. 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 handball. My elbow's fucked up. Yeah, but I think I could be a goalie, man, because sometimes they just do the flying squirrel. They just do the flying, 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 his biggest pot It's like man these bullies would scare the fuck out of some bears But they aren't stopping a handball to save their life those things score like every time

I like the 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. 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 very yeah it's a little arrogant to think that you could go in there right away and be better than the best in the world probably but. It's a little backyard football backyard dodgeball it's like a few other sports. We've done stuff like it. 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 a boulders or something like that. And they, uh, I forget what the ones are that you're trying to throw into the, uh, rings. All right. I can tell you didn't have to go into it. They got it after the snitch. I think Brandon's helped me out. Quaffle. Quaffle is what you're trying to get through the rigs.

No, I was going for the snitch. You're right. I want to start like an initiative and not 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 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 at 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, 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 hear 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 of 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 ready to do that.

They have a leg up. 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 an Olympic athlete in that regard. Yeah, I just wanna take all the guys that aren't quite good enough in the NFL and have them play rugby and see what our US 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. Bob sled, get some big old D lineman that got freaking fast starts pushing that sled. What? You think D lineman? I mean, I think tight ends are probably better. Here's the thing with bobsled though, the bobsled- I like the linebacker tight end because you 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 bobsled is all about the start. Unless you can accumulate speed in other ways. But here my strategy, did you know that like the full weight. 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 riders in it, has to be of similar weight to like across the board. So in other words. There's weight classes. No, let's say the sled has to weigh a thousand pounds, right arbitrarily. There's weight classes. No, let's say the sled has to weigh a thousand pounds, right? Arbitrarily the sled plus all the riders has to weigh a thousand. So if your riders weigh 500 pounds, the sled weighs 500.

If your riders weigh 800 pounds, the sled only weighs 200. God damn it. You do a little bit of math wrong. Sorry. So I got excited. I guess my point is if you have a bunch of D linemen pushing a bobsled, the sled's going to weigh less and they're stronger, so they're going to be pushing something that's way lighter to them. So are they going to be pushing it faster maybe? Especially if they're like Miles Garrett type D linemen that got freaking fast get offs? Dude, you think Miles Garrett's the next bobsled?

He could be on it. He could be on it. He's got the narrow hips too. He's going to fit in the Bob sled. That's my one question about like, you get some of these detackles, their asses might not fit in that motherfucker. You're not getting those shoulders. That dude'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 Bob sled, the majority of it is how fast you get that thing moving. And then it's all in the driver. It's all on Maurice after that. Right now you're John Candy and fucking cool runnings right now. You're John Candy. You're just like, give me some of these track athletes that are explosive and 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? I mean, you gotta be able to throw the ball. I'm talking about goalie. Those long, gangly arms, he's doing like pretzels and shit. Maybe. What's another sport? The high jump? Just get some big 6'10", basketball player,

have him lose a shit ton of weight so his ankles look like their 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 I jump he was a two-foot jumper. You could do was a jump anyway He definitely wasn't a Fosbury flop flop. Could you imagine if he changed the high jump forever

by being 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 Kelse's in Paris. We loved watching you guys.

I'm not going to lie. Being in training camp, watching the Olympics, it's always like 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 most 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 just brought to you by, that's right, our friends at NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV. How about it? Good job, YouTube TV. It's a beautiful thing. All right, well, from Cam, webling17

on it looks like Twitter, welcome back, y'all. What's your favorite thing that you guys have done during this break Jason you want it I mean you went to the Olympics that's gotta be pretty cool right yeah Olympics is I mean dude we went to the top of the Eiffel Tower which we didn't do last time which dude I was 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. So long ago. I it's creaking as you're going up. Like it's like,

it was, I was trying to play it cool and I did not play it cool. And Kyle was making fun of me, which I deserve, but it was scary. Yeah. Heavy man in an elevator that creeks. 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., yeah, nice. It was a blast. I always have so much fun in Tahoe. They gift-wrapped a karaoke victory for me You got right a little by a little by the karaoke a

Little bias didn't fucked up the first verse but it ended strong. So what happens when there's karaoke and 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. And I'm not a big roulette guy still, but if I'm with Travis Kelsey, I'm playing roulette because he's a fun time at the roulette table. Both Kai and Jason were killing it on the roulette table. I'm not a big, like I'll go to the casino, but the casino is always about who you're with, 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. Well, shitty isn't like losing 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 of 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, everyone's like, I guess I'll give you a fist pump. It can really ruin an experience for somebody 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. It was. I had intern Brandon throwing me numbers from left field and nine was a... It was a good one. So, intern Brandon, 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. Well, that does it for No Dumb Questions. Nice.

Coming on Adam. This is incredible. Iconic man. You too fellas. Yes. Yes. Come on Jason hit me So you so you recently just finished a stand-up special? Yes. Yes, it's gonna be launching on I think that Tuesday Yes, it comes out on Tuesday I did I was doing a tour running around for like a couple a couple years, you know in and out Yeah, I kind of do it like I go away for a couple weeks and I go back home for a month or two then I go do another couple weeks that kind of thing and When I was out on the tour, I was like, oh man Probably should make a special just so I because I know one day I'm gonna 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 Shafty, who's this great director, and he did Uncut Gems, him and his brother, Ben, he did Uncut Gems. And I said to Josh,

would you wanna maybe direct a comedy special. And I said to Josh, 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 through weird stuff at me. And we, it's just, it's a special, but it's kind of like a movie. 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. Cool. So thank you bud. What? You're right. It is different and it's like kind of segmented. There's a whole like thing going back and forth with the projection and all that. What? How do you, how do you even get to like creating something like that? Like I know that like stand up, you're bringing on jokes and you're trying to figure out your routine, but that thing was so unique. How did that whole process come about? Well, I was kind of ready to just do a normal stand up special. I was excited because I was kind of locked in.

You know, when you do stand up and you're on the road, it evolves. 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've seen, seen you do a standup 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 standard realm? Like you took a long hiatus from it. Not too long. I saw a hundred percent fresh live, actually. I was at the Hayworth out there in L.A., dude. That's right. But I remember seeing I was so fuck I was in a whole nother world and I got I remember to just off the top that I Still remembers the phone wall of keys. Yes. Yes. I fucking sing that every single time. I walk out of the goddamn door

I haven't forgot him since And then 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 When I saw you I saw you at the at the in my in the dressing room back there at the Hayworth You're the fucking man, dude, you too buddy. And it was, I don't even know why I started. Oh yeah, here's what happened. I was doing movies.

Life was going good. I did Saturday Night Live and me and my friends, 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 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. 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 Including a wonderful ode to comedy which man. Oh, yeah, if this world needs

Comedy more than ever. 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 friends growing up in 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 and so wrote a song and 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 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 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. 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 too. 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 we put it together. No, yeah, we're going there with Travis. By the way, thank you. I heard you talking about it. And I was 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 was. Just a badass. But we know football season. 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 it was it was literally the day after you went on Fallon and told everybody and I was like, man, you know what? I just got to do a ceremonial one. Wow. You know, and I fucking ripped it. You did. So good, dude. You bagged it. What a feeling when you look up and that thing's going straight.

You like that works. How did that happen? It's just the I bet you ripped the shit out. What do you hit him when you when you play you bang it? You bang it. Yeah, I can hit it about 320 consistently off the drive, but I could be three holes over or right. Yeah, it's either way. No, but I've seen you swing. It is nice.

It's fun. I gotta say when I'm doing the happy Gilmore swing. I'm maybe one for four with that It's not it's not a TV magic on the back. It's definitely I called my own cuts All right, buddy. Oh, that's a long walk up You can hear Pat Mahomes in the background telling you where Oh, fuck. You can hear Pat Mahomes in the background telling you where we are. 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 Frustrated have you gotten back into playing at all just to kind of get ready for the movie or Did you ever did you take a time off from playing golf or yes sort of similar to my comedy career? I kind of dipped out for a while and then I was like, what am I doing man? Let me get back into golf and I Absolutely. I played when I was a kid 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. I think I think I could say that's where they play the Genesis open. That's a tough one. I mean, I play from the whites, but I shot. I shot.

Okay, but I can't. I can't put 18 together. I can't do it. I can't concentrate that long. Are you guys good with 18? I have a very little last in the Tahoe golf. 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. Yeah, good. I'm good. Probably play in 18 when it gets to like 18, three days in a row. I am just cooked and I am cooked and my swing is all over the place. I'm not made for three days of golf in a row. That's a lot of thinking. That's a lot of thinking. I can't stay still for that long.

Like right around hole six, I start going, what the hell am I doing here? What happened in my life? Do they have burgers on the turn? What do we? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Once I eat. In the clubhouse. That's so funny. When I grew up, my dad, there was a, we used to play at this one place and I think it was hole 13. They used to put out Polish sausages and hot dogs and stuff like that. And every time I ate there, my father would go up there it goes game

over. He's gonna 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 my father be going, why did you eat that? You moron. I was about to say you inspired an entire like generation to get on the golf course, man. I promise you, you did. I was one of the kids. We used to go up to the public course all the time and just wanted to absolutely hammer them and hit them with that, the happy Gilmore swing and everything. We were hockey players growing up so that that right the movie extra hard Yeah, so hard man. Yes. I know you both you guys remind me of my friends so much growing up like

If you met my friends what you did you actually saw a few at the YouTube show, right? That was awesome, man Oh, how cool was that concert? That was incredible. It wasn't saying but it was fun seeing you there, buddy We love seeing you. No, that was like I was telling Trav, I've told him before I told him, reminded him again today. I have not been starstruck like much of my life. And seeing all of you guys next to me, like the entire ensemble, especially you, it was like, man, what the fuck am I at right now? That was cool, man. It's insane, man. I was like, I came what the fuck in my head right now? That was cool, man. It's insane, man. I was like, I came here to watch you two and I saw every person

that like I ever looked up to like in like all of the best shows all the best movies like it was so cool. It was awesome. Thank you, man. Well, we love seeing you too, but we talked about you flying home that night. Anyways, that was a fun 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 boys like you always around making sure I didn't get beat up too much. Jason's speaking of kind of like being in a room where you're like, how the fuck did I get here? Was there ever a moment like that early on for you where you're just like, how did it happen so fast? How did I get here? Yes. 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 Akroyd like all the this the original SNL cast we got to meet so many of those Cast members and then just comedians. We all love growing up then rock rock stars We you know, we got to meet the you know, Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen and everybody we talked about all of a sudden We were in the room shooting the shit with him was incredible. That's awesome, man. Before we get off Happy Gilmore though, I'm actually curious. I'm not familiar with how the original thought process of the movie came about. Oh, okay.

Yeah. I'm pretty curious. Was it just you just messing around 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, 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 him. We were young, maybe ninth grade or something like that. And he was banging him. My father kept saying, man, you hockey players, there's something about your wrist or the way you turn or something like that.

And I just was like, I think I was in college or finishing up college or just maybe 23. 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. I remember calling my dad and telling my dad about it and going, what do you think? He was like, it could be pretty good. We'll see. We'll see. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. But me and my buddy, Hurloughy, 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. Chubbs. Absolutely loves Gary, man. It's all the hips and that's why we wrote that shit, you know chubs What's in store with the sequel? What do you like? I don't without giving away too much obviously But like what are we what are we looking for here? Well? First of all Travis, we're gonna have fun because the scene you're doing is With so many great golfers. It's gonna be amazing. You're gonna 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, he's different. He's a bit of a mess when you meet Happy. And then we kind of try to get his life cooking again.

Wonderful. I love it, man. I think it's cool. It's gonna be, I mean, we're trying to make you laugh the whole time, but it's got a cool vibe to it. If you're doing it, it's gonna be fucking great. I don't even see what you're doing. You were on Fallon letting everybody know

that you've been waiting for the right storyline. You've been waiting to like 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 them lovable again. 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, pal I mean we were just in the room. We just sit every line. We're going to we sure we sure we sure about this one All right, this is good that we let's move, you know, we're just examining everything We just just want it to be as as cool as possible The original got me on the golf course and also got me in the batting cage is doing shit

I probably shouldn't be doing Is toughening off Just doing shit. I probably shouldn't be doing You just toughen it off see man Anything how fast of a ball was hitting you it's like 50 60 crazy 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 When I got hit by a pitch, I just rolled in the chalk for a fucking 45 minutes. You got to wear it. You got to wear it. Don't rub. Don't rub it. Yeah, that's funny. Yeah, that's good. Yeah. Boys, did you play Little League Baseball, too?

Oh, yeah. Everything, man. Everything sports related. It was like the backyard was like a sports complex. We we would go up and get all the used equipment from Play It Again Sports and my dad would get like everything for like $20 and he would just get the equipment, put it in our hands, and let us have some fun with it, man.

And so every day was getting home from school just so you could play sports, right? Exactly, exactly. You're the best. Yeah, yeah. It's all we know, man. It's all we know, man. It's all we know. Yeah.

Let's get to a little, 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 leave with this. How many football guys come up to you and talk about the water boy, man? I hear Boucher for you, man. As football players, we got to leave with this. How many football guys come up to you and talk about the water boy, man? 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, Just foosball. Just foosball. Make sure mama don't find out I'm playing foosball that kind of shit. We have. Yes.

Did you play? Did you play growing up? I played Pop Warner till I 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. I was 11 and Ken Ken Stillman the coach of the team came over and talked to my parents and said maybe Adam could be a quarterback and my mother was like, Oh, Adam doesn't play football. And my father was like, let him play because my father played football actually. Okay. He was a linebacker. Oh yeah. So then I got in there. I got on the team, played two years at Pop Warner and it was

amazing. So cool, man. So freaking cool. Did you play any other sports? You played football, baseball? Baseball was my favorite. Basketball, I always played every sport. When I was young, I was decent.

Then everybody got big 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 Adams On that team. I don't know, you know I went from second or third to batting sixth and Seventh and maybe deeper the older 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 things before they happen. Remind me of a guy like Patty Mahomes and how his game is on the court. That sweep behind the backer, that behind the backer, I have dreams of throwing that to you, buddy. Back door bounce passes. Oh yeah, I'm all back door. 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 whisper them, I go, you gotta move, bro. You gotta stay on the move. You gotta go, let it go. I'll fake up high, just cut that low. You gotta move, though, for me, because I ain't gonna shoot. I gotta get on the move. You gotta go, let it go. I'll fake up high, just cut that low. You gotta move though for me. Cause I ain'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 in all those highlights man. Oh man, you guys must have been fun on the basketball court grabbing rebounds. Dude, I was shocked.

Jason used to beat my ass literally. Not even in the- One on one? I would win the game, but it would be a brutal ass beating. yeah and I would just get thrown on the on the cement the entire time until you hit puberty I would whoop your ass but then there was one day it's the last time we ever got in a fistfight oh yeah he freaking is just driving the lane and he's finally as tall as I am doing this stupid fucking hook shot and I can't stop him to save my life it was so buttery I had a right hook shot. It was so buttery. It was so buttery. I had a right hander left. So I started falling and just beating the crap out of them. But

yeah, it's, yeah, I know I could play defense. I can play some defense now. But 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 as hell, man. Yeah, you boys on the court must have been scary for the whole neighborhood. You told us about how Happy Gilmore, how did you create a Creole Southern, Ah, so good. Like where did the inspiration for Bobby Goushey come from?

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. An Oscar. This was ridiculously good work. This is 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, no, I wasn't getting Oscars. I never thought of that stuff when I was doing a Boucher, but I couldn't believe it. It was like, we had this idea, a water boy gets picked on a lot. A coach thinks he could be, 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. Then we just went from there, man. 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 to 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, yeah

I mean we were so excited writing that thank thanks for all these compliments guys. Honestly, I love you. I appreciate it, but but so I remember with the Waterboy, we wanted that he had a very protective mama. And 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. And anyways, so we kind of wrote a mom like that that's overprotective to Bobby.

And so he had to sneak around and play his foosball. The breath of which like you did SNL, the comedy era that you were a part of was just so strong It almost makes it unfair for for modern day comedy, man Well, I mean I I I watched these young guys down there in crepe. I love so many young comedians I I really do in the saturday night live cast after ours In the beginning when you first leave when you and you see the next cast you're like hey what about us we would this and that but the older I got now I'd watch every cast I'd be like fuck these guys are incredible and the men and women on the show and they the way they 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 Anyways, it was it was it was lucky lucky our era we were all best friends and me and me and my buddy just like you guys are with you with your teammates and now we get to watch the youth be funny. Do you have any like skit? What was your favorite sketch or the one that you think is like the most underrated from your time in SNL? I mean, honestly, fellas, you know, you guys both did the show. You guys were great. I saw you that fucking weekend.

Travis, when you came back, I was telling you how fucking great. 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 I saw you on the show, I was like, fuck fuck it would be like if my friend Dave Kinnair hosted the show is just kind of like cool Fucking dudes who know that knows everything no comedy. No sports. No 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 and Farley, baby. There you go, yes, yes. Oh my God, you would've loved Farley.

He would've loved you guys, man. Farley was fucking great football player, by the way. Heck yeah, heck yeah. Little Marquette rugby, too, baby. Exactly, exactly. And ready to fight, by the way. A couple of drinks and he was ready to go. Ready to throw down, all right.

For sure, it was honestly kinda like when he had a couple of them, we were like, calm the fuck down. Let's not do this. No one else can fight like you. So good, man. They are like it is so yes, that's one of my favorite ones, dude. Oh, you like the Jews. That was good. That was this guy, Robert Smygleol 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 Oh, yeah That dude he wrote so many great skits and he he wrote the juice skit and we got to walk around

Oh, you're like it is You like that's good You do it smoother than me, but. 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, do you just like, 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 like shit when it comes at you that you, I was there are things brought up to me that I go what the fuck is that I have no idea what it is anymore and then somebody would just remind me when you you know it's on your album when you said this and this and I go fuck I don't I don't remember saying any of that shit actually last night my daughter is watching uh uh 50 first dates

and she's like dad come watch I go I don't need to watch me 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 like I was. It's like I look back at the shit. I don't even I don't even fucking remember scene to scene. I'm like, oh, oh, we did that?

I didn't remember that place. I'm getting old, boys. Have you been someone that you like to watch everything that you have? I mean, I'm sure nowadays you're so engulfed in, you're in the edit and 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 for a few years.

If it's on TV, I'll see it for a minute, but that's usually it. You stay with shit for like a year. You go, all right, I don't need to fucking see that anymore. Yeah. I couldn't, I can't really watch anything that I do when it's being recorded, but I have so much goddamn fun doing stuff like SNL and just like the comedy stuff that I do when it's being recorded. But I have so much goddamn fun doing stuff like SNL and just like 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, you can look at your shit after and go, oh, I thought 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 wanna 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, 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 and just don't you Travis don't fall down these fucking steps You're not fall down these steps. You are live. You are live

You should have seen it. I'll 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 I'm gonna 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 was saying exactly coming like standing behind that door. Seeing the signatures, all of that, like, yeah, we hit him. And it's just like such a moment. So totally.

Jason's been beat my ass all my whole life. So I'm a crybaby anyways. I just I get really, really. I'm engulfed and when I'm when I'm in on something. I'm so fucking in on it And I love that over man. Yeah, it just took me over. It's it. Yeah get you teary-eyed I had some of that I hosted the show again like around six years ago and 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 you guys got to kill on that shit. I love it man. You more than anybody I've ever watched has like, it's not that you stayed the same. Like I know you've evolved, but you've been so authentic in everything you've done. Like from from SNL to the movies to 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 do in do in your life 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? Offseason 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 you have a similar sensibility. So I guess that's why we all do it together. Man. Were you a were you a Belushi and Akroyd? Yes. Were like going into it. Did you have like the 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 I'll be as funny as that guy. Well, yeah, I'll tell you you never fucking think You're as good as the cast before you. Yeah, so like yes, Belushi acroid Acroid, I mean he became like 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 Andy Reed just you have this respect for the fucking guy and what he's seen When he talks to you kind of go yes, yes. Yes. Yes. You feel like you get knowledge all the time and fucking the Castmates before you feel the same shit. You just like that's whatever they say

There's there's no no reason for me to talk unless they asked me to talk to talk unless they asked me to talk. And that's about it. 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 Lovitz, we just fucking Kevin Nealon, all those guys, they whatever they had to say, we were loving it. Just a sponge man. Yes, exactly. Exactly. 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 Sandman. That's good, man. I think at that age, yeah, there's no rush. No rush to get to me. My, my, uh, I got some animated movies that I feel kind of comfortable telling somebody, yeah, maybe you can watch, you know, Hotel Chance of Mania or Leo or something like that. I go, yeah, you'll feel all right there. But like, but I gotta tell you, I have fucking three year olds come up to me and talk about Billy Madison. You know, they do say, Are you Billy Madison? I say, Yes, 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 have my own kids. I don't throw my stuff at him too quick. It just it just happens. They haven't. 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. Yes. That was, by the way, what a girl. What a girl. You know it, man. You know, what a she means out here, dude, she means so much to our house since the kids. I

think I was shooting like grownups 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 is 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. You know, when we start to finish, it's not like three hits and you go, alright, let me skip fucking Taylor in our house, every tune, 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 to young girls, what she means to women, what she means to guys doing the right thing in life throughout Throughout the year, Saturday Night Live, saw the kids there, took her time, hung out with them. And then at her premiere for the movie, she talked to the kids and talked to them about their movie. They did this Bob Metzfer movie and she talked about what she liked in it.

And she just floors my family. So cool, man. Floors them. Like I said, somebody asked me, who do you get nervous around? I said, I do get nervous around Taylor Swift because I don't want to fucking blow it for my kids and say something stupid. So I'm just like, shit, she means so much to my fucking house. I better say the right thing here. She was so grateful that you you took the girls up there, Ben.

The same is absolute blast. 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, I mean that first, when you guys first started dating my god was my family like, yes, he's a gentleman and she's having so much fun with it like anytime Taylor's laughing with you my whole fucking family's like So good man, you got me sweating over here we got to see that dog behind you do Come here, baby Dogs name is bagel. Yeah bagels

His name is bagel. Yeah bagels. That's such a good name Had a bunch of Bulldogs over the years have had a meatball matzo ball pickles and this is a babu and here's a bagel But bagels are going me now You want me to pick you up? Come here buddy. Say hi Oh, yeah. There he is. Oh, yeah. There he is. All right. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. He had to see him. Yeah, exactly. 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 in the past. You work with Shaq, Michael Irvin, Kevin Garnett recently and Anthony Edwards recently. All

great. Do you feel like there's like, like an avenue of athletes being comfortable on the screen or you guys? Has anybody bombed it basically is what I'm asking. I no. No, I mean I'm sure. No names, 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. I know, I know you got a busy life and you're coming and you're gonna make my fucking movies a thousand times better. So we try to make sure anybody who comes by has a great time. It's a memorable time and try to get them in and out as quick as quick as possible. Don't want anybody sitting and being bored. So but but no, I've got to meet so many greats over there. No, I've got to meet so many greats over there. 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 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 be strong when you say it. Yes, sir Let's go. It's got your coachable. All you guys are coachable. Yeah They all about say gotta be coachable in life, baby. You certainly do How do you decide to make the jump from comedy guy to like more like the dramatic stuff in the throughout your career? That was just it was it just like a challenge that you wanted to do or was it like Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it is that it just like a challenge that you wanted to do or was it like? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is that now.

It's like that now. When I was younger, I did a movie a long time ago called Punch Drunk Love and that was just luck. Luck. I was doing my comedies. Paul Thomas Anderson, who's this amazing guy and amazing director, 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 I work with these elite directors and kind of do my best for them. And it's different than what I do. I you know, like, waterboy and shit like that we have fun writing that shit and doing that shit. And it's the best time we could ever have it. 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. Thank you accountability, baby Exactly. Yeah, so we we got to jump into your we always do a Mount Rushmore of like Jason did a to Mount Rushmore of, like Jason did, Mount Rushmore of, My Rushmore Centers. Centers, I did Mount Rushmore of Titans. Yes. Who is your Mount Rushmore of,

Your characters? It says characters on here. Of your characters. Of my own movie. Of your stuff. Who is the Mount Rushmore of your characters, you think? Yeah. Shit, I never thought about this.

It kinda changes what, which, I love some of them one day and then the next day. I'm like, why the fuck did I do that? But alright, let's say Billy Madison's always got to be up there cuz it was kind of the first movie that Let me let me kind of have a little control. Yes me and my buddies and and Tamara 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 I was in those right now, I guess. Yeah, I don't know what my guys' names are in those, but whoever I was in those right now, I guess, yeah. I don't remember at all. I know Robbie Hart was one of them. But I like to love making that. Whatever I did with those guys, I like to put up.

All right. I'm with you. And I don't mind putting little Nicky up there too. Dude! There you go. There you go. One of my sneaky favorites, you know, brother. Seriously.

Another one that you just engulfed. You just brought us all in with this. Yeah. Yeah. So good. The sideways base. 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. we start this, what type of movie is it? Is it Little Nicky? And he goes, hey. And I gotta go, whoa, Nicky just did it. Nicky too, man, that felt nice. That's so cool, man.

Yeah, that was cool. Well, I'll tell you what, that's probably the most epic Mount Rushmore I've ever fucking heard. Oh yeah. I love that. That's not really, dude. Thank you, guys.

This little Nicky up there was on this. This isn't on the run. But I want to who's your Mount Rushmore comedians? Like on your list? Well, my guys when I was young.

This, this is comedy record, Derek and Clive. You guys ever hear of them? It was, it was Dudley, Dudley Moore, who played Arthur. You remember the movie Arthur, the English guy 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 football podcasts. 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 was that you actually I was scared 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 buy got my coach you should go would you get your hands in there. I was so there I

didn't get in there. I was a center. a center, you gotta feel the pressure. You gotta feel the pressure. I apologize to you and everybody before you. Jim Otto, everybody. I made a mistake. I felt so bad. Get 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 when I was pop born, I like it

would be like straight t 26 on on break on set, straight t 26. All right, ready, break. Then I get out there, my little baby voice, I would throw that that quarterback thing. That bullshit. I remember, he would always yell at me like, you gotta command that team, get out there and fucking be a man about this. In 97, you wrote a song called The Lonesome Kicker. Yes. Loved it.
