We saw this post on Twitter from the LA Kings.

Buddy the elf is officially in Hockeywood. Look at this. Can we pull this up? Brandon? This is so good. This is not a buddy elf. I remember this is just over the weekend. Buddy elf has been through some shit. What's

buddy? The elf got laid off, I think. From no, from the North Pole. Santa not taking a swing. It's the road. Yes, he's he's having a pull from his beer, smoking, smoking a cig. Yeah, just having him time. That was just I get these weird ideas every now and then. They're golden, man. from his beer, smoking a cig. Just having him time.

That was just, I get these weird ideas every now and then. They're golden, man. I told my wife, because we were season tickets holders to the LA Kings, we have the seats right on the glass, which were amazing. I said, gosh, over the break, you know what? It'd be funny if I just got like a Buddy the Elf costume and didn't shave

for like a week and I'm just sitting there with like a candy cigarette. It's just a candy cigarette. And I'm just going to like sit there for a period and see what, how people react. And that was it. But so reaction was insane. We're like, what is he doing? Is he promoting something? But occasionally I just like to do weird things like that just to stir it up.

Dude, it's the best. Yeah. It's the best. Have you always been a hockey fan? I know you've been following the Kings for a while now, but. Yeah. I kind of, I was, I remember there was, I grew up in Southern California and there was a kid who moved into my neighborhood from Connecticut who played

hockey and we would play street hockey. We played, this is sad. One-on-one, one-on-one street hockey. Does that even exist? Are you kidding me? This is, this is all me and Jason used to do. Oh, okay. Of course. We'd have ice. So we just with the little ball and this was running around a parking lot. And then I, yeah, I was, I, I followed the Kings way back, way back when they had like the triple crown line of Marcel Dion, Dave Taylor, Charlie Zimmer. Anyway, so you've been in it for a while. Yeah. I've, I've been the, uh, and then they, then of course they won a couple couple cups and that helped

build the audience. And now now they now they draw really. Oh, look at that. I got a little way. Great ski. Jason Jason got me this for Christmas. But did you guys did you guys play hockey as well with everything else you did? Oh, yeah, we did. We were that was probably the first one that we both fell in love with.

I would at least for me for sure. Yeah Yeah, no same. It's a wonderful sport. It's fun Um, we we both started at travis finished in high school playing basketball. I played hockey in high school We used to play street hockey with that same ball you're talking about Yeah, and one of the elementary schools rocksburg elementary had cut down the basketball hoops Okay, and you would think this would be a safety issue, but they left like the post. They just cut the hoops down. And if you hit the post, it was a goal. So we played pickup hockey all

the time. Just trying to hit the post. That's like how we played. Yeah. Yeah, it kind of kind of an amazing sport. And I'm not gonna lie to you. There's some beautiful men out there who play hockey. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. As long as they have their teeth in. Yeah, as long as they have their teeth in. Don't take the indentures out. But yeah, that was my latest kind of public stunt.

While we're on the public stunts, we got to pull up the shack at the Staples. We got to pull that one up. This is an all-time one. That was classic. Oh my gosh. Look at that mustache. Yeah, that was another one. I had friends who gave me a Staples security security guard outfit and I just knocked it

into the building and then just pretended to be one of the security guys. So wait, that was not like the Staples, the staples was not a part of that one either? They had no idea. And I was afraid, I stuck it in because I was afraid they would stop me and go, where'd you get that uniform? That's contraband. Come with us. This is the vet look, dude. That's amazing. I just stood on the set. Yeah.

It turns out the other security guys, they were like, dude, I love it. Just don't stand on the set. Yeah. It turns out the other security guys, they were like, dude, I love it. Just don't stand on the court. You're good with us. And then I looked down and Shaq happens to be at the game unbeknownst. I just pick a random game. And I looked down and there's Shaq in the corner. He's rolling. He's laughing. I stand up a couple times in between the breaks. And then I'm like, what do I, what else do I do with this? I don't know. And then someone taps me on the shoulder and says, you know, during the next break, Shaq's ready to leave the game. Do you want to throw him out? You want to throw him out of the game. So he gave me the idea. He goes, yeah, just come over and then that I escorted him out. That is brilliant. The diesel. And then we had

the biggest laugh. And that is so I was like, I go, I go Shaq, do you know how extraordinary that is that you're allowing me to throw you out of an NBA basketball game. He was like, are you kidding me? That is so and then it was so funny all the I found out from one of the heads of the security that he goes, hey, I have to tell you, everyone appreciated the shout out all the security people appreciate the shout out. I was like, oh, that's what I was going for. Yeah. Actually, I was kind of making front of you guys. You know, it was a shout out.

It was a shout out for sure. That is so fucking gold, man. You've done a lot of these. I gotta know, I've been, I've been just so curious about this. When did you become a DJ? The video of you DJing at the frat party might be one of my favorite.

You've now inspired me to want to become a DJ and do exactly what you made this shit look so fucking fun. I don't know if you want to reveal peak behind the curtain or not, but I don't know how to DJ. I was just all set up by my son and he was like, Dad, can you come? It's parents weekend. Can you come by the fraternity house and I'll just set it up and you just have to twist knobs and push buttons. So I just acted the part. But I do not know. That's insane. That's insane. I still forget that people have cameras attached to their phones. I don't know if you guys ever feel that way, but I'm like, I still sometimes, I'm like, so good. The fact that you could just turn that switch off though, man, not care about

it. That's the best. That's the best part. That made I sent that to everybody that I knew. I should have for 15 minutes. And then I went to the football game. I didn't think twice about it. Monday, it like blows up. And I'm thinking what? Wait, what? Oh, right. All these kids were filming it. Anyway, so good. It's just it's fun to just kind of, I just love kind of doing those kind of out of the box things just to just to mingle with people and and

well, we love when you do it too big dog. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, thank you. Let's get into your athletic career. Jason, why don't you hit him with it? You're an athlete growing up kicker. Oh, yes. Yes. Oh, yes. So were you you were a kicker in high school? Did you ever try to play any other position? Or were you always like, I'm going for the kicker? Well, let's just say freshman year at university high school in Irvine, California.

I dominated. Okay. Yeah, baby. Starting free safety and wide receiver. Two way player. Two way player. It's a football guy right here. Co-MVP of the football team.

Oh my gosh. Basketball, freshman player of the year, freshman basketball. OK. Then I played baseball. And it was downhill, downhill from there. I was 6'1 and 1 half as like a freshman. So you had some height advantage.

And then I think by the time I graduated, I was six, three. So only grew an inch and a half more over the next couple of years. But, but yeah, I'd never played football and I played a lot of soccer. And I also was, I also was doing, you know, the kicking. And then I got called up to, I made varsity as a sophomore, as a kicker. Okay. They wanted me to play safety too. But I was like, you guys, I weigh 145 pounds. I paid 150 and I'm not. Oh my gosh. Something about I never come. Let's just say no one was looking at me for the proper tackling form. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Summary. Something about getting your head in there, I'd end up like

my approach looked really good. And then I rolled to the side and face mask you. I played the I played defense one fucking time and it was safety. And I saw a guy running at me looking like Rick and Eddie George. And I made a guy running at me looking like fricking Eddie George, and I made a business decision. It's what I did. I made it a business decision to not go in with the head, the hands, the proper technique, just going,

I went slide tackle. I went. I would set up the right way. You're like, oh, he's gonna, Farrell's gonna jack someone. And then I would go, no, that's okay. So yeah, I made, I was like, you know what? I'll just kick. I was really hoping actually to be a college kicker. We were a horrible football program. I think we were one, eight and one my senior year.

I can relate. But I was getting those, you know But I was getting those little form letters from University of Oregon, New Mexico State. New Mexico State. What was your longest field goal? Do you remember? 45, 45 in a game. Nice, in high school, that's big time.

50, 50 in practice. Okay, you can boot it. And then I tried walking on at USC. I saw, my freshman year at USC. I saw it was, I was my freshman year at USC. I saw in the athletic department that they were having a tryouts walk on tryouts. Right. Yeah. But it was, it was, it was, it was in the fall.

So obviously the team has already set. So like, why not? I, I showed up and they, we weren't allowed to kick on the field that actually had the field goals. It was just a big, and I was like, I was like really accurate, but I wouldn't say I was, you know, could boom it. So we just, I think we did, I think it did like five kickoffs. And then the guy just blew the whistles like, okay, bring it in.

He was like, okay, huddle up. I'm the special teams coach. We're pretty, we're pretty good. We're pretty good with our kicking situation right now, but if any of you guys wanna play scout team, you know, running back or scout, and I was like, no, I've heard about scout team. You don't wanna do that. Yeah, no, not in college.

In college, that's right. That's when it's no fun. So that was the extent of my college athletic career. It sounds like you kind of wanted to be an announcer while in college. Yeah, I went to, USC had like, had this sports information program. I was, it's funny, I always wanted to get into comedy,

but I kind of grew up in the entertainment industry. My dad's a musician. Okay. And had played at, you know, in the best of places and in the worst of places. He's a piano player and super talented. And I just saw how unstable the entertainment business is. Sure. He would have a job at a nightclub for six months to a year and then they'd be like, well, that's over. I'm like, what happened?

He's like, nothing. They just said, we're done. And he'd have to go back out and search and do all this stuff. And so I thought, well, I'm never gonna do that. I want like a real job. I didn't know what that meant, even though I loved comedy. I loved making my friends laugh.

I loved watching comedy. I loved, you know, everything about it. But I also love sports. And I played sports all throughout high school. And SC had this program that was was was like sports journalism. So I thought, oh, that's a, that's a blending of both. And, you know, sports center had probably just started. Let's see, I was in, I graduated in 90. So that was kind of the beginning of ESPN and

Turned to boom. Yeah. I want to be one of those guys, you know? Yeah. And so I graduated and then was trying to get a job with local cable stations. And, you know, you have to like build a tape and send it out to these small markets to get hired as the, you know, the sportscaster in Yuma, Arizona. Those tapes gotta be gold. They have to be.

I don't know where. I should have held onto them. I should have held on to them. But at the same time, I thought, you know what, this itch is not going away. I better scratch it about the comedy thing. So at the same time, I started doing classes at this improv theater in Los Angeles called the Groundlings where I had seen tons of people had gone on to sitcoms, to Saturday Night Live, to film and television, performers, writers, directors, everything. I thought, oh, this is, they had a school I could, I could kind of take all these classes at. And so I kind of was doing both at the same time. And I kind of found my, you know, you got to, as you guys probably know, you got to find your community, you got to find your support group.

And that place in LA, the Groundlings Theater was where I felt safe enough to kind of go for it. And I was there for three years. And then that spring of, spring of 95 was when SNL was doing like a nationwide search for a brand new cast because they knew they were going to let go. It was gonna be the last year for like Farley and Sandler and Dana Carvey and and that whole group man. So yeah, happened to be at the right place at the right time when they came and watched one of our shows and went through the audition process and then, yeah. The audition process, dude. We've all seen the audition video. It is the most brilliant.

The cat toy on the ground. How does that even, how do you know that that's going to be the one that gets you the job? Like, what the fuck? Well, here's the thing, because Travis- It doesn't make any sense in my mind. You've hosted the show, right? You've stood you've stood on that spot where you deliver the monologue. Yeah, and your heart is pounding in your chest, right? Yes, yes But you're in front of a full audience

That's supportive and there and they want to see you. I want us to yeah, I'm on the ground in that studio Playing around like a cat. No one, no one's in, like Warren Michaels purposely had no one in the studio to like create the tension of late night, like he wanted to create the pressure of what it's like to be on Saturday night, like live TV. So I'm in a void rolling around going, oh my God, I'm going back to LA. This is not like, cause there's no one in the studio. There's just a camera operator and a sound guy. Oh my gosh, so good.

This is one of my favorites. So it was almost like a prisoner torture technique. I just had to fight through it. Were there any other audition bits that you had or were you juggling a few at the time? They basically had to do an audition that was anywhere from five to eight minutes long of any of the characters of your choice. Oh, nice. Okay. So that was one of the did I one of the I did another sketch I did I did Harry Carrey doing a play reading.

So I did my Harry Carrey impersonation. And I did I did this sketch that I think really got me the job, which was this dad at a barbecue yelling at his kids to get off the shed. And that piece I auditioned with later became the sketch that was in, I did in my very first show. Oh, that's cool.

As a cast member, so. That's cool. So they brought that one to life, nice. Yeah, yeah. That's awesome, member. So that's cool. So that one, that one to life. Nice. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome, man. But it was, it was awful. I was like, uh, I had no idea if I did well or not. And you just left going, Oh well, I guess they'll call me. I'll tell you what, Lauren is a, he could be a stone cold dude. He can give you absolutely nothing. And I'm sure that, that left you confused is all get out man. But um, he, uh, yeah, he can, he can, uh, it's funny. He's like, he can walk right by

you or he can, or he can, or he can pump you up. But yeah, sometimes, sometimes you don't know where you stand with that guy. Yeah. Oh man. The SNL years were definitely the beginning of our fandom for you, big guy. Who do you remember as some of your favorite characters on SNL? Like the ones that you really got excited to go out there and perform? I never imagined that I would get to play the president.

Because I wasn't known for doing political impressions or anything like that. So to get to do Bush for that lot, like that was and and like, you know, you're gonna be a go to guy every week. Uh yeah, that was pretty heady. That was pretty that was really fun. Uh I loved, you know know, I think about like doing the cheerleaders with Sherry O'Terry, sketches I got to do with Molly Shannon, Anna Gasteyer, we used to do this Bobby and Marty sketch where we were like middle school music teachers who would perform and the kids would hate them. And the Robert Goulet sketches were really fun.

Neil Diamond, Neil Diamond, and Harry Carrey. I got to do Harry Carrey to an audience that maybe didn't know. It was fun because people who knew Harry Carrey from the Cubs as an announcer obviously knew who he was. But then other people would go, I love that mad scientist character you do with the crazy white hair. And I was like, well, no, he's a real person. They're like, oh, okay, well, whatever. It doesn't matter. I think it's so funny. I had a great seven years on the show and I just, uh, there, you know, I, I'm, I'm so lucky to look back and, and there was probably, I had fun like every single week doing that show.

Man, yeah. Seven years is a crazy run, man. You obviously seven years on the show as a cast member, but you're a member of the SNL Five Timers Club as well. What's the difference between hosting it and being a cast member? Or what's the biggest difference? Yeah, I think honestly, I preferred being a cast member

because when you host you all of a sudden, it was much easier to be a cast member and have your sketch get cut and be kind of shake your fist you know like ah but when you're on the other side and you're having a hand in like oh I don't want to choose between that's tough right I mean you've been in that room yeah and you probably had some choices where you had two or three funny things that could only go in the one slot because there is there is a lot of thinking that goes into that show.

And it's hard like you. And everybody was awesome on the cast. So you're sitting there like, I don't want to take her off stage. I don't want to take him off stage. I don't want to take that bit. That bitch, they kill it. And I'm just and that you're thinking, oh, but I really love doing the one thing. And so I was like, oh, I hated, I hated like determining the fates of who was going to be in the show and who was not. Um, also too, you realize like

the times I've come back to host that thing is, that thing is like a track meet. You forget what kind of It is a machine. It is a well oiled machine. Physical shape you're in comedy shape you're in. And I all of a sudden felt like I was in an NBA basketball game and I, I, the ball just kept hitting me in the face. When I like the last time I came to, to host. And, uh, I remember in fact, I remember sitting with Lauren at the after, uh, party.

And I was like, God, man, Lauren, I can't believe I used to do the show, like not even think twice about doing the show every week. And he was like, I thought he was gonna give me the you know, attaboy, like, like, you know, you were for No, you were great. You were wonderful. He was like, No, it's a young man's game. He didn't give me anything. I'm like, was I that bad? He's like, oh no, no, no, but no, it's a young man's game.

I'm like, geez, all right. It all rolls fast though, man. It happened so fast and man, I was the luckiest guy in the world to even get a chance to do it knowing how big of a fan I was of it and how big of a opportunity it is. Jason, you're next. Jason, he's been on the list.

I'm trying my own thing. Listen, I was up there able to watch Travis Host and that was, and we've talked about it before, but it's just so impressive the amount of people that are involved in that thing and how it all happens. And I couldn't imagine the hosting itself like in watching because I think I got there maybe Thursday, Trav. So I got to watch a little bit of that process of learning it every day. And I was just blown away. Absolutely blown away. It's a real piece of living history in terms of television and in terms of in terms of like American comedy. Because when you're sitting at home and you just DVR it or turn it on at 1130, you have

no idea during those commercial breaks that there's a hundred people running around moving those sets. Right. Absolutely. And it is such a. I mean, I hope they never cancel that show, because I don't think they'll ever do that type of show ever again. No, it's just it's an art form the way they they put on that show. And it's surprisingly it is surprisingly funny with how many things that can go wrong.

And the fact that they only they write it in a week Yeah, it's crazy It's it's hit or miss for sure But it but it lands on its feet more often than than not and it's it's pretty impressive the whole week you're seeing the Construction workers putting together sets and you're just your your mind is just Yes blown away and you're just like what mind is just blown away and you're just like what and then some sets get canceled because they just don't fit in the time frame. You're

just like, what, how do you do this week in, week out? It just blows my mind. And you really have to have, you have to have thick skin as a cast member because I remember when I was, my first year on the show, Kevin Nealon, who I was a big fan of, Kevin Nealon came back to kind of see a show and say hi to us. And he, it was towards the end of that, my first year on the show. And he was like, you're really funny, like great job.

And I was like, I was like, thanks man. And he was like, let me give you some advice. Like you don't have to score every week. Just keep that in mind. It's like if you can look back on a season and count on you, like if you've done 10 funny things, then you've had a good year. And so it took the pressure off of like having to have a great show every week. It's like it's like hitting 300 in baseball. You know, if you hit 300, you're going to be in great show every week. It's like hitting 300 in baseball. If you hit 300,

you're going to be in the Hall of Fame. And if you could hit, well, 30% might be a little low. If you can do funny 50% of the time, you would have a great year. That's a good batting average. So I took that to heart. But yeah. Let me let me ask you this because we are doing I'm doing this late night thing on ESPN. I just started it and we're trying to incorporate some scripted bits and some funny things. Like, I guess what do you think is the biggest thing to performing a sketch or comedy live that you would tell anybody who's just starting out into that world? Because quite frankly, I've never done anything like this where there's like a live audience and you're trying to do this while it's

being recorded. Forgive me if this is a loaded question, but I'd be remiss if I didn't ask you pointedly if there's anything that you can like fast track my ability to be funny on. No, you're screwed, man. Sounds like you got to figure it out. on. No, you're screwed. Yeah. Yeah. No, you know, I, the thing that I always lived by is because, you know, I, I was like, look, I'm going to meet, I'm going to, I'm going to watch people perform who I think I'm funnier than. I'm also going to watch people who are way funnier than me. Yeah. And I'm going to have to be okay with that. But the one thing no one will ever beat me and beat me at is how hard I commit to something.

Sure. You've got to commit sketchwise to whatever the premises. Yeah. And and just go for it. And if you lock in that way, all the apprehension will just melt away. And yeah. And then the audience will be on your side too, because you're, they'll just be like, he's going for it. This makes it hopefully, hopefully it's a funny premise to begin with. but even if it's not, they'll just be like, God, Jason is going for it. I'm on his side. And that's all you need to worry about.

And to not, because I've seen people, you can't have one foot in and one foot out, because then the audience doesn't believe your intention. And so that's just the main thing. Dude, you send it better than anybody, man. Now a moment brought to you by our sponsor, American Express. Oh, American Express. Jason, you swiping the card anywhere? Swiped it anywhere.

Before we get out of this SNL bit, we asked Bill Murray this question and he said Ray Charles, but who is the one SNL host that just blew your socks off? Like man, I did not expect this person to be this damn good or this funny or this awesome that you, maybe when you were a cast member. Just so you know, we asked Bill Murray this and he said it was Ray Charles because he

just really, he was amazed at how well he remembered all of his lines. Oh my God. And didn't have to use any cue cards. Yeah. We had a similar, we had, I remember Jackie Chan posted with us. What? Yes! He didn't, he didn't read English. Yeah.

So we couldn't use the cue cards. So we had to do the whole thing memorized. There we go! Jack Chan! Same sort of thing. Yeah. Yeah. And he was on fire. But I think there are there like varying

degrees. Like we I remember one of our best hosts was Derek Jeter. Yeah, he just committed to everything, regardless of how stupid we put him and also that's how I got to know. That's how I met Shaq for the first time. He came on and did. I think it was Kelsey Grammer was the host, but they said, Hey, Shaq's in town. He wants to do some sketches.

He destroyed. He was so funny and natural to the point where one of his sketches got cut because he had a funnier show than the host. And- He had to reel it back. He had to reel it back. Cause we wrote this sketch where all the cast members

were picking on me and making me cry. And Shaq came up, he's like, what's going on? And I'm like, Shaq, everyone's making fun of me. And he's like, come with me, Will. And we walked to home base there and he picked me up in his arms. And we proceeded to sing a duet called, no one's going to hurt my little man.

And he was shack cradling me. And we did this whole, but that got cut. And it destroyed. Oh my gosh. But then I swear there was like, it was a lot of times, it was actors that you would like Steve Buscemi. Oh my gosh. But then I swear there was like, it was a lot of times it was uh, actors that you would like Steve Buscemi. Oh, nice. Insanely good. I remember a lot of times dramatic actors who were so excited to, like Billy Bob Ford. You didn't always see him in the comedy world. Exactly. And, and they, that thing of like, they would just

commit to the premise. They weren't even trying to be funny. And they subsequently got twice as many laughs. Yeah. I love it. That's amazing. You just referenced Billy Bob Thornton and maybe think of that bad elf at the top of the show. Maybe there's a bad elf, bad Santa remake coming down the line. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe, yeah. A lot of people will be distra by that combination drive, but maybe that's why we need to do it. By the way, speaking of football, I gotta bring something up. I happen to be watching during the holiday break, Travis, you guys, the Pittsburgh game. Yeah. Yeah.

So when you scored, when you scored, did you just have one touchdown or did you have just had one? I just had the one. And you went to go dunk the football. You missed the dunk. I'm just going to tell you. You missed it. You hit the rim. And I, I, I remember, I remember thinking, Oh, I want to bring that out. I know I'm going to be talking to you guys. I'm like, God, he doesn't have the same hops. He means I remember thinking, oh, I want to bring that out. I know I'm going to be talking to you guys. I'm like, God, Travis, he doesn't have the same hops. He missed the dunk.

I don't. I don't have the ups anymore. I used to. The football just kind of hit the bar and just spilled over. But you still tried to celebrate. I just dunked it. I was like, no, no, no. I gave him my best Tony Gonzalez.

He was known for dunking. And I had just eclipsed his touchdown record. Yeah, maybe finger roll next time. I should have. What I did was I, you remember when you first started trying to dunk and you would just go up and smack the backboard? That turned to what I was doing right there. It wasn't a full dunk.

Maybe if I get it earlier in the game, I might be able to the explosive. I have been thinking about that since that moment. I've been stewing on that. Nice. Well, I've been I've been thinking people might have forgot about it. Well, perfect. Before we move on, I got to ask this. Have you ever dunked? Will, I and you dunk. I remember having like a breakaway and I was like, I'm gonna dump this. The ball slipped out of my hand. I got right here. I got like rim. Yeah. And then the ball just fired off the backboard. Coach was like, what was that? Like, you told me try to dunk it if I If I have a break, he's like, okay.

I could dunk a tennis ball, but now I never. You're not a basketball? Yeah. My Travis has seen me, no joke, over an hour in a gym. At least. Just trying? Just trying. Repeatedly thinking I'm getting closer and repeatedly failing.

If I just get the technique right, I can do it. I'm there. I'm right there. It's going to happen. I know. You're 310 pounds. You're not going to dunk the ball. Gravity is working against you. Exactly. All right. Let's get to this segment. We're going to try this out. This is the Will Ferrell character football draft. All right. Okay. So we're going to try an attempt to draft a football team with your characters. We're going to have you do this. We got round one, we're going to do quarterback. So if we're picking a Will Ferrell character, what character would be the quarterback of

this football team? I think the quarterback, not that he would necessarily, not necessarily he'd be good, but he'd be very commanding would be Ron Burgundy. Yeah. You know it. Yeah. You know Ron's, he's commanding.

He's commanding. He'd get the plays wrong. He'd call the wrong cadences. Yeah, he'd mess up constantly, but he blamed someone else. Yeah. It'd be a fun ride. We got double way right. Dorothy Mantooth on two. Dorothy Mantooth on two. Exactly. Baxter left. So good.

Go right. Swordfish. Ron, that's how to play. Yes, it is. Let's run it. It is now. Second round, we're going running back. Who you got for running back? Running back with Pra. I'm going to say Frank the Tank from old school. Just a ground up pound tank.

He's breaking some tackles. He's got that name, the Tank. He's going to break some tackles. He's also going to be inebriated enough to where he won't feel any pain. That was my next question. Is he inebriated in this? Yeah, he's definitely, he's definitely. He's got the bag. He's drinking all night if you give him some beers. Well, yeah, he may try to take a couple plays fully naked.

Yeah. Yeah. Then nobody wants to tackle them. Right. He just great strategy for. He's untouched into the end zone. So good. All right. Round three wide receiver. Maybe because he's he's kind of I think he's's, he's, I would say, very flexible and

live. The word live. Buddy, I'd say Buddy the elf. Buddy the elf. Nice. I could have swore you were going to go Chas Michael Michaels, like jumping up. Oh, okay. Leaping over the middle, beautifully. Very graceful. Yeah, Chas Michael. Very graceful. That's a better... I like Buddy the Elf. I'm not... That's a better call. That's a better call.

Buddy the Elf just the happiest disposition ever. Why does he eat a lot of candy too? Yeah, they do. Skittles. Yeah. I'm telling you. Who's round four? Who's round four?

Who's a coach? Coach would, you know, because I think he probably did. I'd say Jackie Moon from Semi Pro. Yeah, he was a coach. He was a player coach. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's a good one. He was, he had to run it all.

And he knows how to, he knows how to manage people. Owner. Where are we think in round five owner, who's the owner of this football team? I don't know if he's the right owner, but I just haven't. I forgot to throw men but let's just say Ricky Bobby is the owner. Dude, to the electric already know. That'd be the best Hail Mary.

Our baby who art in heaven. Yes. He would lead the team in the baby Jesus prayer before every game, whether they wanted to or not. Sweet baby Jesus. Yeah. Yeah. No, Ricky Bobby, he'd be a good, he's got like kind of a little Jerry Jones and I'm probably

see that. Yeah, sure. My pals. They're definitely friends. Yeah. How about have you seen the clip of Jerry Jones with the chops? He's he's acting now. He's in a TV show. No. Yeah, I was actually I was actually pretty surprised. I was like, man, he's speaking kind of better than he has in the interviews he gets. Wait, what show is he in?

This is a good question. I don't know. I've only came across it. Landman with Billy Bob Thornton. Oh, Landman. Yeah. So you're definitely just peeking at him. One of those Paramount Plus shows. You know it. I actually watch some soccer on Paramount Plus shows. I actually watch some soccer on Paramount Plus. The old football, huh? You got a premier team that you root for?

I don't really, but I'm part of a small part of the ownership group of Leeds United, which is the second division. Nice. Very cool. So I've been out to one of their matches which was awesome and uh so I'll I'll keep tabs on them. Heck yeah. I see I see you at a lot of sporting events. Is that is that like your you're kind of like your hobby? You just you just love you love to get some live action sports? No. You're pathetic, right? I'm I'm like

living through you when I see you at the I'm like, dude, I want to do what Will's doing. I've got way too many tickets. Let alone the baseball the baseball bit you did where you played all the at all the teams and everything. Yeah. No, we have because we're part of the LAFC soccer team out here in LA, which is MLS. We're part of that ownership group too. So we go to those games. Nice. I have tickets to Lakers every now and then the Kings USC football, and somehow in the year that they won the World Series, I went to zero Dodger

games. No way. Somehow. The one year. I should have gone. Yeah. No, I went to one. I went to one. No way. I know. We we we go to a lot of sports but I mean I I sports is a huge part of my life. It was it was kind of the, but I mean, sports is a huge part of my life. It was it was kind of the way. And I'm sure I know you guys can relate to this. It was the way I was able to make friends. It was the way it just I loved playing team sports.

Yeah. I mean, maybe it's something where athletes just want to do comedy and comedians just want to go to sports because I went to a UCB out in L.A. I went to an Albright Citizens Brigade. Yeah, it was so much fun. It is amazing watching people and improv just take something from nothing and make something funny instantaneously. It is so impressive. They're an incredible group. UCB is one of the best. Right on. We have an idea here for this next bit. Trav, do you want to explain it? Yeah, we got relationship advice, voicemail.

So something we do on the show is answer voicemails from our fans. And we've asked them to call in asking for relationship advice, because who doesn't want to hear relationship advice from a couple of knuckleheads. Would you like to help us on these? Well, sure. You want to jump in? Let's do it here's the thing you could answer some of these questions as one of one of your characters maybe? Okay. Nice! Yes! Oh I'm so excited! Brandon? Brandon? Uh oh, Brandon. Hi Travis, hey Jason. Big Chief's fan, three feet coming. Just wanted to know your advice for a first date when you should know those red flags and when to look for the green flags. Go Chief.

Red flags, green flags? When to look for the red flags, anything about red flag or green flag. You just gotta, you just gotta get yourself into position to look for the checkered. Because I mean, there's only one thing you need to worry about. I mean, if you ain thing you need to worry about. I mean you ain't first you're last I would just tell that young lady look for the checker flag Find your way to the finish line guys. I don't know if that's good advice or bad. It sounds like bad advice It makes sense you gotta find your way to the finish line. Yeah.

You know? I loved it, man. That shit was fucking gold. That was so good. So good. That could have gone any better. All right, here we go. Next one.

What we got? All right, Jason and Travis. So what do I do whenever I bought this girl to take her to a concert for Christmas? And whenever I bought this girl tickets to a concert for Christmas and she dumped me the week before now her best friend wants to go with me. Do I take her or no? Do you take the best friend after the tickets you bought for your girlfriend she dumped you? Wait I want to make sure I understand. Do you take the best

friend of the girl after? Yes. So the girlfriend dumped him and now the best friend wants to go with? Well, Ron Burgundy would say, of course you take the best friend. Of course. Because you teach that young lady a lesson.

Uh, you're not going to be some horse's ass. You've spent $1,200 going to a, I don't know, whatever concert, whatever music you listen to nowadays. I don't know if it's Kaja Gugu or Duran Duran or whatever it is, but you send a signal to that young lady that you're not messing around. And then you- What are you doing more, Ron? You take photos of you and the best friend making out and send it back to the old girlfriend and say, that's how I do it.

That's how you roll right there, baby. That was fucking gold, man. That was so good. Sway, you're the greatest of all time, dude. Oh my goodness. Oh man, do we got one more in us? You want to do one more? You want to do one more?

That was fucking gold, dude. We can move on to Will if you want. That was gold. That was so good. I think we're good to roll, man. Let's get this thing going. Some people just know they can save hundreds on car injuries by checking all state first.

All right, here we go Okay before you made it. What was your worst job? Definitely a bank teller. I was a bank teller She started off with the bank telling. Worked her way up to some higher up positions, but yeah, she started off as a teller.

Customers would actually complain as to how bad I was. So I'd break out in flop sweat. Your mom can relate to it. When you're starting out, you're handling people's money. It was awful. That's too funny. As long as your register wasn't short, you're good, man. I was short like my first two days out. I wasn't even pocketing the money.

That's crazy. Excuse me, manager. I'm trying to deposit money and your teller is like playing with a ball of yarn and he won't respond to me. What's wrong with this guy? In fact, I remember I was putting up flyers in the break room to try to get people to come to my standup comedy show. And I was so quiet as a bank teller because I was so nervous all the time. And I had this manager go, I saw your flyer.

You do standup comedy? And I go, yeah. She's like, I'd like to see that. Your father of three. What is the secret to being a cool dad? The secret, uh, to being a cool dad. I think constantly lovingly make fun of them. Nice. Nice. Yeah.

Yeah. Emiliation. Yeah. It's the best. Why don't they make R rated comedies anymore? I think they do. Actually I have one coming out here. We go to this month.

We're really invited on Amazon. Perfect. Which is a which is like an old school, R rated fantastic movie Reese Witherspoon and I are we have two competing weddings booked at a destination location and we have to kind of duke it out to see who's going to be the wedding that gets to take place. But yeah, I it's an interesting time. I think people are making it.

I just, I don't know why they're not kind of going to the theaters to see them. And I think we have, I think we kind of have so many options now that, uh, a lot of people would, you know, would rather go, Oh, I'll just, I'll just catch that at home. Yeah. There's nothing like going to the theater though, man. I know it's when you sit and watch a comedy with an audience, you're reminded as to

how much more fun it is. Right. I'm trying to get that back. I'll happily see this new one in theaters for you, bud. Even though it's not in theaters. It's in Amazon. It's not in the audience. It's on Amazon.

You didn't just say it was on Amazon. We'll go rent a movie theater out. And we're going to play. Yes. Okay. I'm calling everyone in the neighborhood. They're coming over. You're cordially invited to watch, cordially invited at the movie theater with us.

Is there one idea for a movie that you haven't gotten to make yet? Oh, gosh. Because you want to steal it. Yeah. You know what? I'm going to pass on that because I'm afraid you guys will steal it. No, no, no, we wouldn't do something like that. No, I don't trust you guys. I don't trust you. No, I don't know. I'm trying to think if there's anything. It's funny. Ideas usually pop into my head in the most random way. But, but

no, I don't have an exciting answer that sorry. Let me ask you this. When When do you know an idea is ready to be made a movie? Because I would imagine you think about stuff constantly. Yeah. Like, how do you know when it's like, okay, I'm going to make this movie about an anchorman named Ron, like, where does that even like, at what point are you like, yeah, this could become a full motion picture? Yeah, I think it's, I think you just get a sense of something that, you know, if it's

an idea that you can kind of spit out in a sentence, then it's got a good chance. You know, it's like, you know, I remember when we were we were pitching Anchorman, which at the time we got rejected. I think we got like rejected 20 different times from various studios and it just blows my mind. Like, no one could kind of wrap their hand around a head around an ensemble comedy that took place in a newsroom. They kept hearing the news part and we're like, no, no, no, it's going to be, you know, Austin Powers wasn't about us. Wasn't about the spy game. It's about a really funny character. Right. Our characters are gonna be funny.

And then I remember, I remember thinking, gosh, this is so hard to get off the ground. We should maybe pick a topic that everyone's talking about. And at that time, NASCAR was at its height. And I was like, for instance, what if I'm just me as a NASCAR driver and we pitch, we sold that in like two seconds. That's crazy. Yeah, I don't know.

I don't know if there's an exact formula for it, but it's just something that I think grabs the people who have to pay for it. There you go. There we go. Yeah. What was your, what's your welcome to Hollywood moment? We all have a welcome to NFL moments that just, I don't know, it's usually a big hit

or somebody that we're extremely, you know, fond of or we're big fans of growing up that we're finally going up against. What was your, what was your welcome to Hollywood moment? I mean, one of my welcome to Hollywood moments was getting to be the first member of a brand new cast on Saturday Night Live. And I got to say the first lines of our opening show. And I'm sitting there and they're counting down the show and I'm looking out.

That's crazy. My folks are in the audience and friends and family and I'm like, I can't believe I'm here. And I'm about to say whatever line, which a little trivia here, I mess up my line. The first time I speak on camera on the show, I flub it. No way. Of course. Because I felt and you know, Travis, you know how you do the full dress rehearsal.

And then by the time you do the live show, you're like, piece of cake. I got it. I got it. Yeah. But so I did the dress rehearsal. I was like, this is going to be great. But I'm sitting there in the chair and the enormity of the moment hits me. And I start to get a little bit emotional thinking about, wow, this is the thing I've always dreamed about. And then it was like, five seconds. And then I had to do my line. I was like,

I was like, and Lauren came back. He's like, are you OK? I'm like, I'm fine. I'm fine. I just I don't know what happened. So just a stroke. Yeah, exactly. It was it was incredibly uplifting and incredibly grounding all the same time. It was like, don't ever take anything for granted. And yet I can't believe I'm here. So that's all right.

Hypothetically, you see two guys that look like us coming at you on the sidewalk. What movie do you think we're going to quote at you? You guys are going to say, you're my boy, blue. Yeah. Yeah. Old school. You're going to get old school. I think you're smart. You might you might say milk is a bad choice.

I don't know. Dude. If it's a hot day, I'm definitely going, milk was a bad choice. It's a hot day. I was in Wisconsin and I had a whole wheel of cheese. I was like, whole wheel of cheese? I'm not even upset.

Yeah. Milk was a bad choice. By the way, I improvised that because I was literally trying to tell the director in that moment, like, why did you give me a carton of milk as we're shooting in LA on like a 98 degree day? And I literally was like, milk was a bad choice. I'm having to drink hot milk in this scene. That's the worst. The fucking worst. You were spot on with that one.

This isn't on this, but do you ever get tired of people quoting your movies? Like, are you like, yeah, I get it. Like, it's got to happen just constantly. I wouldn't say, yeah, I mean, there's sometimes there's, there are moments where, oh, I'm getting this weird kick here. Sorry. Got a nice light. Got a nice light. Yeah, look at that light. Got a nice guy. Got a nice. Yeah. Look at that. That shit's coming in real nice. Wow. That's nice. I don't know how to fix this. Well, whatever. Here we go.

We're rolling with it. We're rolling. Yeah. Sometimes, sometimes someone, yeah, something, and you're just like, you're like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you, yeah, I did, yeah, I said that. And most of the time, it's fantastic. But then there's about 20% of the time where I don't pick up the cue.

Oh, wow. I mean, it's a lot of fucking classics that you've been in. So I get it. Someone yelled at me. Why are you so sweaty? And I go Oh, because I was just on a bike ride. No, from step brothers. After the drum set, why are you so sweaty? Because I was to say, because I was watching cops. Like, oh right, sorry. And she got so pissed and walked away. Yeah.

That's fucking hilarious. Ruined it for me. I've ruined it. So I do ruin it for a lot of people because I don't pick up my cue. That's funny as shit. What's your comedy Mount Rushmore throughout your life? Who are you, who's your top four? You're throwing on your Mount Rushmore.

I'm going to put Steve Martin. Nice. I'm going to put, I'm probably going to put Bill Murray up there. Legend. I'm going to put Eddie Murphy. So good. And let's just say the original the original cast of Saturday Night Live. Nice, yeah.

Throw them all out there. That counts. Hell yeah. Yeah, that's great. That's awesome, man. Awesome list. I love that list. Do you have an actor you've wanted to work with that you haven't yet?

Steven Seagal. Shut up! No, no, no. No, no, no. Go ahead, dude. That would be, go ahead and be. That would be the funniest goddamn thing. I don't know, I don't know why. You're talking about doing something totally unexpected.

No, that would be, yeah, exactly. I don't know why I just pictured you dressed up with the slick back as Steven Stigall. I don't know why that's what popped in my head. Oh, man. God. I don't even think we could track him down. I don't know where he is on planet Earth these days. But I mean, I'd love to do something weird with like, like an actor like Daniel Day-Lewis. Yeah, yeah. Just gets really enthralled and into it. Exactly. Try to get him to do like a like something weird. Yeah.

That's fun. What about the best sporting event you've ever been to? Oh, my gosh. I'm going to say two. I'm going to say the Women's World Cup final at the Rose Bowl. Ooh, for women's soccer. Nice where they finally beat China. They finally won the women's world. It's the famous Brandi Chastain taking the top off. Yeah. Yeah. That was incredible. And then I'll say,

even though my team lost the game, the national championship game again at the Rose Bowl USC, Texas. 2005. Yeah. that was an amazing back and great game. You just made whoever had the team the ball last was going to win that game and just ran out but you have no idea how his microphone is muted. But our head producer our intern Brandon, our head producer is the biggest Longhorns fan. Okay ever met in your life. He's screaming like a child off camera right now.

He's going to lay into me right now. It's the reason he went to Texas, I believe, is because they won that game. And I sat in the same row with Matthew McConaughey and his buddy, and they wanted to talk shit the whole get like every time, you know, of course, like Texas guys love to be like, OK, here we go. Right away, I'd be like, what? What happened? What happened? Yeah, what happened? What was that?

And it was so back and forth. But I have to say, at the end of that game, everyone just shook hands. Oh, it was one of the best ever. We just watched one of the, yeah. So anyway, but I've been lucky. I've been to a bunch of fun stuff, but those two pop into my head. Yeah, that game, Vince Young's like performance towards the end of it, especially like he was just, it was like crazy.

Yeah. It was like somebody just caught fire and like could not be stopped. And there is a classic photo of Vince Young scoring that last touchdown. Yeah. And one of the SC cheerleaders jumping up in the air thinking it was SC that had scored. No, really? Yeah. Oh, I need to look at this. I have not seen that.

That's amazing. We got to know who's got the ball. She was not the sharpest tool in the shed. Becky, I'll tell you, I've been to the Rose Bowl one time since he played UCLA out there. When I tell you it is one of the coolest atmospheres, like I can only imagine that place packed to the tee for that game and seeing highlight after highlight after highlight For the biggest game of the year man

I can only imagine what that felt like man both those teams with guys who went on to the league like on both sides of the ball and Yeah, it was it was an insane environment. Yeah, no cool Well, shout out to my former teammate Vince Young Young. Awesome game. And shout out to you, Will. I mean, listen, before we end this, we always give our guests, do you have any questions for us? Like, or do you just like, want to go and go about your day? That's fine, too. I don't want to put you on the spot. Let's see. What time

is it? You got the sun hunting you down over there. I know I'm trying to, I'm trying to help your producers out here by not getting blasted by the sun. I do have a question for you guys. How much, how, how do you compare doing getting to do things like this? Like obviously you, you, you live, you're living out, you got to be pro athletes. this thing you dreamed about your whole

life. Oh yeah. Now getting to this other side of stuff, is it as much fun? Is it more fun? Is it a different kind of fun? Yeah, I'll take a hack at this. So me and Jason, we started this thing because we just wanted to show our brotherhood and have fun catching up once a week. And it was a magical year where we both went to the Super Bowl and got to talk about both of our seasons throughout it. And in retrospect, after about three years, the coolest part is getting to interview guys like you and just getting to shoot the shit with you over the course of an hour and get

to pick your brain on the profession that you're in and what got you there and things like that. That's all been so fascinating to me. And it kind of hit me like a blind side because I just got on here to have fun with my brother and now I get to do cool shit like this. So that's definitely the ups for me. That's awesome. I would say like Travis said, being able to just talk to Trav once a week, we have a dedicated time and before we did this, there'd be like months sometimes in the middle of a season especially

where you like fall by the wayside. That combined with interviewing really successful, interesting people or friends is awesome. I would say the other thing that's, it's very similar. When you get ready to play a sport, you practice and you work and you prepare and then the game day happens and you get to express yourself as a player. And that's something very unique as an entertainer as well where you work at it and you try to think about how can I do things or what can I do that'll be interesting or take a creative idea from scratch and I don't know, bring it to life and it all is like just really rewarding when that happens. I think that's similar in terms of like getting out there and it worked all off season.

We've put in all these new plays. Let's go out there and see what it looks like. Yeah. And then you get blown out by 40 points. You're like, fuck, we're out of the boys. Back to the drawing board. But that's, I think there's a lot of parallels between team sport and getting to do a lot of things entertainment because the same thing can happen. Like, I think that's why I love working on films. It's a team of people, it's a crew of people. I love Saturday Night Live because of the ensemble.

Because it was like we all, like if we all pull for each other, the whole show does well and we all do well. And same sort of thing. You work hard, you're working on something, you film something for 50 days, it takes a year to come out, and you lay a big fat turd, and you're like, oh, audience didn't think it was funny at all. We thought it was hilarious.

And then you're like, well, I'm still glad we went for it. You know what? What are you going to do? Yeah. So I'm taking your advice and I'm full send in everything I ever do in the entertainment world. Full send. I appreciate that advice. Yeah. Well, thank you so much, brother. You're unbelievable. Cannot wait to see everything you got coming up and appreciate the time, man. Thanks you guys. All right. That was fun. Alrighty, that wraps up another episode of New Heights.

Before you go, tell us about yourself by completing a short survey at Wondery.com slash survey. Behind the closed doors of government offices and military compounds, there are hidden stories and buried secrets from the darkest corners of history. From covert experiments pushing the boundaries of science to operations so secretive they were barely whispered about. Each week on redacted, declassified mysteries, we pull back the curtain on these hidden histories, 100% true and verifiable stories that expose the shadowy underbelly of power.

Consider Operation Paperclip, where former Nazi scientists were brought to America after World War II, not as prisoners, but as assets to advance U.S. intelligence during the Cold War. These aren't just old conspiracy theories. They're thoroughly investigated accounts that reveal the uncomfortable truths still shaping our world today.

The stories are real. The secrets are shocking. Follow redacted, declassified mysteries with me, Luke Lamanna, on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts. To listen ad-free, join Wondery Plus in the Wondery app.
