B
I mean any of them. I don't. I did anything that combines crackers, meat, cheese, and mustard. It doesn't matter what kind it is. You got pepper jack, you got provolone, you got cheddar, you got beer cheese, you got salami, you got. You got kielbasa.
- [00:57]
A
There you go.
- [00:58]
B
Don't be all artsy with me. Ritz crackers. Maybe you could do some of those like whole grain thick boys that are round. Those are kind of nice too. If you want to be kind of different, you go with like a wheat thin. If you really want to elevate your game day spread and score big with your entire home gating, that's tailgating at home, visit your local Boar's Head deli.

F
You know we're gonna do another oceans.
- [02:39]
A
What?
- [02:39]
B
You guys are doing another one, but.
- [02:41]
F
You know, now we're old, so it's gonna be like mostly just trying not to crap yourself.
- [02:46]
B
That wasn't really a bucket. That was an offensive lineman duck walk. Get the hips in there. I wish it would have been more of the bucking action. I don't think Dom was ready.
- [02:54]
A
There wasn't much thrust in there.
- [02:56]
B
Get this. He told me to s his D. Did you just hear him? I think that should be a 15 yard penalty, sir. Is there an interim coach?
- [03:06]
A
Bring Eli back. Eli.
- [03:08]
F
Jason, I dig you, man. You're a hall of famer. Travis, you broke me, man.
- [03:15]
B
You take these big beaters you got, you put them into that middle of the chest. I'm remembering you telling me to put my beaters in his chest. I'm a basket weave guy myself.
- [03:26]
C
This is our greatest episode ever.
- [03:31]
A
Welcome back to new heist. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, a wonder show brought to you by Yeti. Oh, Yeti coolers. Nice. And on everything else that Yeti makes now. Gotta love those. Yeah, that was nice. Where are your hosts? I'm Travis Kelsey. My big brother Jason Kelsey out of Cincinnati. University of Cincinnati, Cleveland Heights, Ohio. As most of you know, Cincinnati. Ah, football. Ah, has it been our. Our year? These past three games really, really took a turn for the worst boys. But yeah, we're both eligible. So go, go have some fun with the gang and whatever bowl you end up in.
- [04:12]
B
What was your favorite non big bowl game you went to? My favorite bowl. Low key.
- [04:17]
A
Which one?
- [04:17]
B
Still to this day you didn't get to go International bowl. It was in Toronto, Canada.
- [04:23]
A
Well, yes, because you went to Toronto.
- [04:25]
B
We went to Toronto. I was still not 21 in the legal age for everything. There was 18. And we just.
- [04:31]
A
It's convenient.
- [04:32]
B
Had a blast.
- [04:32]
A
That's real nice.
- [04:33]
B
It was great.
- [04:34]
A
What gifts you get at the old International Bowl?
- [04:36]
B
I had a duffel bag that was leather that I had for forever. I still might have it. It was a great leather duffel bag. Had a nice little maple leaf on the front of it.
- [04:45]
A
Oh, I do remember seeing that one. That one. That was what?
- [04:48]
B
It was a good duffel. It was a good duffel.
- [04:50]
A
Let's get back into what we're here for. And that's the podcast. I'm Travis Kelsey. This is my big brother, Jason Kelsey out of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, like we already said. And this is my other. My brother being a militia member.
- [05:02]
B
That's right.
- [05:02]
A
Jason got up to New England this past Monday.
- [05:05]
B
Yeah, they taught me how to fire musket. I don't think I actually got anything to come out of the muzzle. Like, the pan definitely caught, which is where you put the gunpowder in.
- [05:13]
A
Yeah.
- [05:13]
B
And that clicked, but I didn't see anything come out the end. And the whole time Michelle was talking about how much recoil these guns had. And I, like, fired it and I felt zero recoil. I'm like, this thing didn't. I don't think it fired and was like. No, it fired. It fired. I'm pretty sure it didn't fire.
- [05:26]
A
This is hilarious.
- [05:28]
B
I was so excited. I mean, I still was.
- [05:30]
A
You're a little fucking stiff. Jesus.
- [05:31]
B
Well, I was trying to be military militaristic in my stance.
- [05:35]
A
Is that a real word? Yeah. Yours didn't fire.
- [05:37]
B
Yeah, but if you look where the pan is by my face, like that's where the gunpowder is. It catches the flint. So that ignited, but whatever was in the barrel didn't ignite. So I don't know what went wrong. I think this is probably pretty common with these older weapons. I think they misfired quite a bit.
- [05:55]
A
Would hate to have that happen when you're in the line of fire.
- [05:59]
B
No doubt. No doubt. Fucking one of those daggone red coats across from you, and then you trying to fucking put one right between his eyes. I don't know what I'm talking about, Trav. We need to go road bowling.
- [06:11]
A
Road bowling.
- [06:12]
B
So road bowling is a sport in Ireland. It's old as shit, where they take what used to be a cannonball. Now it's a 28 ounce piece of iron ball, and you roll it down the road. And the goal is to go past a line in the road in as few attempts and throws as possible. So kind of like golf.
- [06:34]
A
I'm following. I'm following.
- [06:35]
B
And there's a lot of Irish guys that yell things that you don't really fully understand, but it's electric as fuck. And part of the game is betting. Like, that's. You don't play the game unless there's a stake put up. So everybody bets on the two teams that are bowling. Then you go out there and you just throw a fucking piece of metal down the road, and then it'll get lost in the leads and they Bring out the magnets, and they try and find it with the magnets.
- [06:56]
A
Hilarious, dude.
- [06:57]
B
It was fucking a blast. It was so fun.
- [06:58]
A
Were you a overhand thrower? Underhanded thrower.
- [07:01]
B
Everybody throws underhand. It's probably too hard to throw overhand and do.
- [07:05]
A
You just don't get the. You just don't get the same spin. You want the spin to.
- [07:09]
B
I think it's more than top spin.
- [07:11]
A
You don't want to backspin.
- [07:12]
B
I think if you saw the heaviness of this thing, you would understand why. There we go. That was a really shitty throw.
- [07:20]
A
I was gonna say that. Look. That looked like it wasn't good.
- [07:23]
B
This dude right here, Sean, he was my partner. Awesome, dude. Some of these guys like styles for throwing. Dude, watch this guy. Darren, watch it, dude. They get into, man. Full extension.
- [07:34]
A
The crow hop into the skip, bro.
- [07:37]
B
I. My. I got to get my form way better. It was not impressive that in the least.
- [07:41]
A
Are you even a athlete, Jason?
- [07:43]
B
Dude, it was. It was wet. It was slick. These guys are impressive.
- [07:46]
A
You got to play off the ground. That was a better role. You got your right hip through. That's a big part of it.
- [07:51]
B
I won one of them and lost another one.
- [07:53]
A
You won you one of them?
- [07:55]
B
See, I think they kind of rigged the second one. The guy. They put a guy up against me. I was like, okay, this guy's. He might have went to the bar before we came out.
- [08:03]
A
He's seeing a fork in the road. It's like, I don't know which way to throw this thing.
- [08:07]
B
We went to my guy. Connie was down there every time you would throw it, and it was a good. I didn't know. The only way I knew whether it was good or bad was just with how much noise Connie was making every time. It was a good throw. Be like, there you go. It was electric, bro. I think that was half the reason the sport was fun. I don't even know if I want to go without Connie at this point.
- [08:28]
A
Yeah, no, it sounds like you. You need the environment.
- [08:32]
B
And then we went to this amazing pub, the Irish. It was the Red Rose Irish Pub, where, I mean, dude, I was getting so many flashbacks to Irish pubs going into growing up. You could tell this is just, like, a community staple. Great vibe. People are singing in the middle of the bar. And then I got to teach this kid some D line moves. Check this out.
- [08:56]
A
He has no idea what just happened. The push pull is a shocking move.
- [09:00]
B
He still didn't really have it down.
- [09:02]
A
Because you did it right when you do it right. The push pull is like, what the just happened? And that's what they. That's what you just did to that kid. That kid just. I was like, holy ninja. Just put his hands on me. Hold on.
- [09:11]
B
I'm gonna send another one. Check out this guy. Singing.
- [09:13]
F
When the dawn is breaking My heart is breaking too on this dark morn as I walk out My thoughts will be of you so gracious hold me in your arms and let this moment linger they'll take me out to dawn and I will die with all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon.
- [09:53]
B
Your finger now that's a bon. God damn, that was fun. It was a blast. Well done, Boston. I was going back and forth on whether I was going to sing a song. The only Irish song that I really know is one that I sing to the girls. It's from Ballad of Buster Scruggs.
- [10:06]
A
Tell me it.
- [10:07]
B
You want to hear it?
- [10:07]
A
Yeah.
- [10:09]
B
As I was a walking down by.
- [10:12]
A
The lock Going into a character here.
- [10:14]
B
As I was a walking one morning of late okay, who should I spy but my own dear comrade Wrapped up in flannel so hard is his fate I boldly stepped up too and kindly did asking why are you wrapped in flannels so white? My body is injured and sadly disordered I can relate. All by a young woman my own heart's delight oh, had she but told me when she disordered me had she but told me of it at the time I might have got salts or pills of white mercury Now I'm cut down in the height of my prime oh, no. Get six pretty maidens to carry my coffin Six pretty maidens to bear up my poll and give to each of them bunches of roses so they may not smell me when they go along and then I say good night, Wyatt. And then I won't leave.
- [11:59]
A
That left me speechless. Jason, when the fuck did you ever learn that?
- [12:03]
B
I like singing to the girls at bedtime. I'm a big fan of telling stories. Here's the thing. There are so many fucking kids books, and I'm gonna be honest.
- [12:13]
A
Tell me it. Tell me your honest opinion of them.
- [12:15]
B
Here's the honest opinion. Every rundown schmuck with a fucking typewriter can make a children's book these days. And I don't think that everybody should be having children books. I'm into the Dr. Seuss's the freaking Three Little Pigs. I like the stories that have survived a long time. And there's a reason for these iterations existing. I don't need to know about the fucking pink cupcakes. I don't need to fucking. You know, I. Give me the caterpillar book. I like the caterpillar book. When I was growing up. What is it, Carl? Or whatever. I'm out on a lot of the newer children's books. What you're doing when you're reading kids books is your brain. You're hardwiring the software upstairs, right?
- [12:51]
A
Okay.
- [12:52]
B
So when you're telling the boy who cried wolf, you're trying to correlate, hey, lying makes people not trust you. And eventually that's a bad thing to do. And here's a story that correlates why you shouldn't do that. And it ends up really bad for him. He gets all of his sheep eaten because he couldn't, you know, tell the truth.
- [13:11]
A
Yeah.
- [13:12]
B
Yeah, right.
- [13:13]
A
Get anyone to believe him. Yeah.
- [13:14]
B
So a lot of times, I just end up telling those stories or I make stories up that are off of those old stories.
- [13:21]
A
The man. If we had a recorder for those ones, man.
- [13:24]
B
Dude. One. One night. Because they'll tell me. Sometimes they'll tell me. Sometimes the girls will tell me. They want, like, one of their stuffed animals in the story or like, they want to be in the story themselves.
- [13:36]
A
Yeah.
- [13:36]
B
And I'm like, all right. I'm about to do Pinocchio. And Ellie's like, oh, put. I forget what stuffed animal it was. Put. Put slothy in the video or put Slothy in the story. I was like, okay. One night, Ellie wished upon a star, and sloth so magical, came to life. And her eyes went just. And she didn't move, and she was just holding this stuffed animal. And I got through the. I had, like, a Jiminy the Cricket figurine. I had a whole conscience thing going on and everything. The only thing. After the story, Ellie was just so terrified that she was holding.
- [14:23]
A
This is so good.
- [14:25]
B
Kylie was furious. She's like, what the is wrong with you?
- [14:29]
A
Said put her in the story.
- [14:31]
B
So anyways, while I do that, I also. If I hear a tune or a song that I like, I. I like to sing.
- [14:37]
A
You remember those?
- [14:38]
B
Yeah.
- [14:38]
A
Nice. Well, you're a great dad for that. That's awesome stuff.
- [14:41]
B
Should we start the podcast yet?
- [14:43]
C
I'm just gonna leave it like this. I'm not cutting a goddamn word out.
- [14:46]
B
It's gonna be.
- [14:47]
C
We're going freeform this week, folks.
- [14:50]
B
Not really.
- [14:51]
A
Subscribe on YouTube wondering. Plus, wherever you get your podcasts and follow the show on all social media at new heights show with 1s for fun clips throughout the week. Jason, why don't you tell everybody what we actually have coming up on the show?
- [15:03]
B
Alrighty. We've been talking for over an hour and a half already, but coming up on this episode, 92 percenters, you're gonna hear a little recap from Thanksgiving week in the NFL. Talk about the fat guy fight club that we started at the Lincoln. Oh, we've also got George Clooney on the show. How about that? George clooney gonna be 3 bearcats on this podcast later.
- [15:26]
A
Oh, little do they know.
- [15:28]
B
We claim them. We claim.
- [15:29]
A
We're claiming. Are you kidding? I don't care if it's for a week and he dropped out.
- [15:32]
B
I don't even care if he just got accepted. But he never took a class. He's a. He's a bearcat. All right, before we get into that, let's start with what we always start with. And that's a little bit of that. New news. New news is brought to you by Xfinity.
- [15:47]
A
Oh, nice.
- [15:48]
B
Xfinity is bringing us new news. And the first part of new news. We got a belly bucking champion. That's right. We had our first belly bucking tournament at the Link this past Black Friday game at the. In the new heights tailgate. And no shirt Dom came out victorious. He almost lost. We were kind of making up the rules as a win. It was a tight ring initially. It was like if you just stepped outside, the ring got to be belly.
- [16:13]
A
Bucking rules somewhere online.
- [16:14]
B
So the ring was tight initially. It was like, if you take one step out, we're going to end the match. But it was. People were taking steps out all the. We ultimately was like, okay, if you get two feet out of this thing completely, then the round's over.
- [16:29]
A
Man, I feel bad for anybody that lost with one foot out.
- [16:31]
B
Nobody lost with one foot out. That's the thing. It was very apparent from the first one. It's like, okay, we can't do that. It became apparent who won each time. And no sure dime. He had a nice sidestep at one point. It looked like he was going to lose, and he kind of, like, readjusted and kind of got his belly back into it.
- [16:45]
A
That boy.
- [16:46]
B
I mean, go figure. You know, a guy that is committed to not wearing a shirt wins the belly bucking competition. He's very belly positive individual. We also had Jeffrey Lurie stopping by.
- [16:56]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [16:58]
B
Andrew Whitworth stopping by.
- [17:00]
A
This guy once had a belly. No belly anymore.
- [17:04]
B
Well, yeah, that's. He's still barrel chested like a Motherfucker though. He's. He's still got that chest on him. Yeah, we signed a copy of somebody's Twilight. That's right book. And yeah, we got some 92 percenters that ask some no dumb questions. I think I would redo the no dumb questions, Brandon, for our next iteration of tailgating. Really just going out with fans. I think we got to bring the no dumb questions to the fans. It was hard to get them to think of them on the spot. Yeah, I like the idea of like let's go in there with a pre determined kind of things on the spot.
- [17:38]
A
Where they don't get the thing.
- [17:39]
B
Tell us how many holes a straw hats and I'll tell you why you're a fucking idiot.
- [17:43]
C
Note taken.
- [17:45]
B
But the 92 percenters are great.
- [17:47]
A
Wow. You actually have a notepad. Intern Brandon is always everything. I came with a computer. I don't have a notepad. I want a notepad. Oh, I got a computer. There you go.
- [17:59]
B
Why would I do a notepad when I have this?
- [18:00]
A
Jason, you got, you got a, you got a little bit of a belly bucking in there. You want to tell everybody what the.
- [18:05]
B
I was. I. I'm not gonna lie. I did kind of make the belly bucking competition just so there was something that at one point I knew I would eventually get in there and get in the belly action. A little belly on belly me and no Shirt Dom. So this is no shirt Dom right here. He was our champion. We decided to have a little friendly one. The only thing that wasn't really a bucket, that was an offensive lineman. You know, duck walk. You know, get the hips in there. I wish it would have been more of the bucking action. I don't think Dom was ready for it.
- [18:30]
A
There wasn't much thrust in there, but it was fun.
- [18:32]
B
I think that helmet was barely. It was cutting off the circulation in my brain. All right, well. Fun.
- [18:41]
A
What did you, what do you, what did you think was the, the technique of the. The buck and what was the best technique you saw? Because in the video that we saw, there was a lot of thrust. There was a lot of thrusts. Was it more just like a bulldozer deal or were guys trying to get leverage?
- [18:57]
B
Well, that's what I kind of mean. I feel like when you went, you if you would have gone back to then thrust and that person stayed India. When you went back, you were going to go backwards. So it felt more like guys were kind of like getting their hips and bellies stuck to each other and then just kind of Buck.
- [19:13]
A
You got a buck. I know.
- [19:14]
B
I'm kind of with you.
- [19:15]
A
See, you gotta.
- [19:15]
B
You gotta enforce that, though.
- [19:17]
A
Lay that law.
- [19:18]
B
I don't know how to enforce it.
- [19:19]
A
If you're not thrusting, you're Augustin.
- [19:21]
B
Gotta thrust.
- [19:22]
A
Let's see it.
- [19:23]
B
Yeah, let's see.
- [19:24]
A
Oh, there's a. There's a. There's a buck up in there. See, this is why you need to grab. My man Brendan was trying to grab those holsters. You got to grab those holsters. You got to put hands in the pocket.
- [19:36]
B
Yep, yep.
- [19:36]
A
I get why the original video showed a lot of that.
- [19:40]
B
Yeah, that's good technique, though, by Dom. That's good. He's using shoulders.
- [19:44]
A
That's why I like hands behind the back.
- [19:46]
B
Well, you can still shoulder with your hands behind your back.
- [19:49]
A
Yeah, but you can't, like, fucking keep them right here.
- [19:51]
B
You can't, like, roll it. Yeah, yeah, I see. You're saying it's a good point.
- [19:55]
A
Finally, we're teaming up with Amazon as a part of their holiday giving initiative. That's right. We're in the holiday season. How about a man? It's December. And we're supporting an organization that is incredibly close to our hearts. That's right. Operation Breakthrough in Kansas City is an organization that I've been a huge fan of and huge supporter of since I've been in Kansas City.
- [20:16]
B
That's right. Amazon is working with an incredible organization across the country to support local communities by providing essential items, books, toys, and gifts to families who need them during the holidays. And we're honored to be highlighting Operation Breakthrough because of all the work they do every single day in the Kansas City area. For those of you that don't know what Operation Breakthrough is, Operation Breakthrough is kind of like a school teaching these kids all of these trades and skills and things that they can be ready to go into the workforce for straight out of high school. Some of them even are entering it while they're in high school. It also supports their families. Like, there's food. There's. There's.
- [20:48]
A
And that's where it originally started. It was originally started for the families and the. And the kids that needed it around the Kansas City community. And they help with meals that go home to these families. Not only is it like an actual school, but it has after school care for the kids. Kids. And during this after school care, they get opportunities to learn and these extracurricular activities that they get to kind of latch on to. And that's where I've been able to help support it with the foundation that I have on help giving them those skills like STEM lab skills, science, technology, engineering, math, all these different avenues that they can go down and, and really experience and latch onto and see if they love them. And that's what the, the beauty of this organization is, is it's giving these kids something that they wouldn't have otherwise. And it's awesome to Amazon team up with them as well as new heights.
- [21:38]
B
Yeah, I mean, I. Trav, you've been involved with Operation Breakthrough for a long time in Kansas City. I recently just got involved last year. I mean, I've been to like the car show before Kelsey Car Jam, which Operation Breakthrough is a part of that as well. But recently they're converting an old pickup truck to electric. The students and the faculty there at Mine Drive and at Operation Breakthrough.
- [22:01]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [22:02]
B
Converting an entire vehicle to electric. Diesel. Hybrid.
- [22:05]
A
I was gonna say. It's a hybrid. Yeah. We're gonna see if you even do this. So actually it's gonna get more miles to the correct to the gallon per se, because. Or the battery, because it's going to be able to fuel the battery to recharge itself in a sense and you'll get longer mileage, which is. It's a lot of going on in my mind. But these kids and, and the, the, the, the adults that are helping and yeah, shout out to Oz and really everyone over at Operation Breakthrough, but they're doing so much fun stuff over there. And it's really, it's really neat that, that they're doing these extracurricular stuff. But we were just talking about how they help out the families. This holiday season alone, Operation Breakthrough is going to help support over 3,400 local families that could use. Use some help with the food and, and just overall support.
- [22:55]
B
So it really is a fantastic organization. So really happy that we can potentially help in any way possible. For anybody in the Kansas City area or anybody trying to do something similar or looking to support these families, check out Operation Breakthrough.

All right, now that wraps up new news brought to you by Xfinity. All right, let's get some bold topics to wrap up Week 13. Dude, it's Week 13 already. There's only five season flying by Week 13 in the NFL. Trav, let's start with the one game that everybody was tuned into this Thanksgiving. I think it's set. Probably like had to set records of viewership numbers, right?
- [23:57]
A
I don't. Yeah. For. Yeah. Every holiday game seems to break every past record, so.
- [24:02]
B
Well. Chiefs 28, Cowboys 31. It was a great game. It was fun game to watch. I know it did not turn out in the Chiefs favor. What are your thoughts? What are your thoughts about the game?
- [24:14]
A
You know, I'm, I'm sure everyone's sick of us saying it, but we're a few plays away from, from being a, you know, a one scene in my mind. And maybe that's a bit extreme. Maybe it's, you know, I mean, all.
- [24:27]
B
Of the losses are. All the losses are within one score.
- [24:30]
A
All the losses are within one score. And there's a handful of plays within those games that are determining the outcome. And it's, it's, it's hard and it's, you know, it's plays like my drop against the Eagles. It's, it's penalties that are, that are keeping us behind the sticks. It's, you know, it's, it's coming away with three points instead of touchdowns in some games. It's, you know, it's crazy that you, you watch the film and you see what's real and what's real is that we're this close, man. We're this close. You look at our offense and you look at Pat Mahomes production this year, top in the, top in the league. You look at our defense in terms of points allowed. I know some of the other stats aren't all the way up there, but at the same time, and we're holding teams at the right moments and, and, you know, and in other situations, we're just not scored enough. And it's tough, man. It's tough to be a part of this reality right now because we're six and six and we're fighting for our lives, you know, find a way into the playoffs. And what's real is that we still have a chance, baby. And that's all the matters to me is that we got a chance. And I'm gonna keep coming into work with the, the mentality that. And the sense of urgency that we need to have to get this fixed and, and turn those handful of plays that are losing us the game into a handful of plays that win us these games, man.
- [25:52]
B
Yeah, I mean, listen, I think you're saying what everybody else is Saying it's the truth. I mean, you guys have been in all of these games and I think you're having it like one of the most unlucky, like, seasons in recent memory. I know that we never like to say lucky, whatever. Yeah, we like to control of it. Somebody, I think Gordo with espn. Shout out to Gordo. I think he said something like, you guys are plus 70 or something like that in your score differential over the season. You're the first team to not have a winning record with that plus differential. There's only like one other team in the history of the NFL. It's nuts. I don't know what it is and I'd rather like get the actual number, but it's something outrageous. Like you guys are actually performing really well on both sides of the ball. It's just like these crucial mistakes and end of game scenarios, which you guys have been so good at for so long, just have not fallen your way this year. Like last year. They all fell your way this year. They just haven't. And it's been a weird year in the NFL in general. Like, especially the afc. Like, who is like the top of the AFC right now is Denver and the Patriots. I don't know that anybody has shown a ridiculously better version of football than any of the other teams in the afc. Like, everybody's had their up games, everybody's had their down games. Who is the complete team? I don't really see one. And it seems like it's up for grabs. And when it's like that, if you're an AFC team, all you want to do is get into that dance. Because the end of day, if you get in, you got a chance. And I know it hasn't gone your guys way yet. You're not happy with where you're at, but it all still is in front of you. Like, I mean, this Andy Reid quote is pretty incredible. But Andy Reid was asked earlier this week about you guys, you know, having to win out. Do you need to win every single game? I forget what the exact question was. And Andy Reid came back with this banger on the confidence this team could win the final five games. He said, we're going to try to tickle your tonsils on every play, every game. That's the attitude that we're coming in with. And then you let the chips fall where they may. And I think that's. That's the attitude you got to come in with. And I just love the tickle on the tonsils.
- [28:05]
A
Obviously, that's a nice alliteration.
- [28:09]
B
Is this a. Have you heard Andy say tickling tonsils before?
- [28:12]
A
Never heard him say that one. Nope. That's a new one. He's got a bunch of bangers in his pocket, though, man.
- [28:18]
B
Yeah.
- [28:18]
A
He's got so many. And he's been doing this for so long, man. He knows which ones really get the people the right one to pull out. Exactly. And that's some of the. That's the fun in which you get playing for him.
- [28:31]
C
I've never heard Andy rip it like that. I loved it. I'm fired up.
- [28:33]
B
Well, the thing is, Andy didn't mean it like that. Andy was just trying to say shove the ball down the throat, which he will say. And he'll. He'll come up with little funny mannerisms, but the double entendre there is.
- [28:43]
C
Talk nasty to me, coach.
- [28:44]
B
Come on, let's go.
- [28:45]
C
This is what I.
- [28:46]
B
This is now.
- [28:46]
C
This is my kind of football, bro.
- [28:48]
A
Let's go.
- [28:49]
C
This is how the coaches talked in high school.
- [28:50]
A
I'd have signed up.
- [28:52]
B
Yeah. Yeah.
- [28:54]
C
Didn't know y' all were doing that out there.
- [28:57]
B
There are some very. Y' all just drinking from the hose.
- [28:59]
A
What are we doing?
- [29:00]
B
What are. What are other, like, sexual. Like, all of it metaphors that coaches have used in the past. You take these big ass dick beaters you got. You put them into that middle of the chest. That's one of my favorite dick beaters is a great all timers. You ever heard that one?
- [29:14]
A
Such a long way to just say hands.
- [29:17]
B
Yes. Hey. But sometimes you come up with a little bit. Stout would always call it like a hook. Like, you need something that, like, you can't just say something. You need to say something that registers something in your head. If you say, like, hey, put your hands in his chest, it's like, I don't even. That's already out my fucking brain. You tell me to put my dick beaters inside of his chest. I'm remembering you telling me to put my dick beaters in his chest. I'm not gonna forget that one.
- [29:38]
A
Oh, my hands.
- [29:40]
B
How'd you know I. I really only have one dick beater? Are you guys using both?
- [29:50]
A
He started looking around the room.
- [29:52]
B
Time out.
- [29:53]
A
Yeah, definitely. Yeah.
- [29:54]
C
Beat her.
- [29:54]
B
You guys are going lefty. No, no, no. Same time, same time, same time. Yeah, I'm a basket weave guy myself.
- [30:28]
C
This is our greatest episode ever.
- [30:30]
A
Oh, man.
- [30:31]
B
So, yeah, anyways, the Texans are red hot right now. The defense is unbelievable. D'. Amico. Ryan, shout out to d', amico, one of my former Teammates, Those dudes are playing on both sides of the ball, but especially on defense. They are very good. You guys are in a situation where every game counts even more so at this point because of the record and what it is. Texas four game win streak coming into this one. The last time you played Houston and was in 225 in the division round. It's going to be about 20 degrees of kickoff.
- [31:00]
A
It's my kind of football, baby.
- [31:01]
B
Dude, I love when the cold weather.
- [31:02]
A
Sets my kind of football, especially after a weekend of rest. Yeah, go out there, fly around on the ice, man. Fuck, man, take me back.
- [31:10]
B
Fly around on the ice.
- [31:11]
A
That's what it feels. It feels like we're in the ice rink, man. That's why I love those games more. There's something about being in the cold and sweating that I feel my most, most athletic self. I don't know why that feels like it's like my, like sanctuary, but I.
- [31:25]
B
Always just feel like I didn't get tired too when it was cold. Like I just could run for days.
- [31:29]
A
Yeah, no, I. Well, that's because you weren't running that much. You could still get very tired running in the cold. Yeah, it hits those lungs a little different too, but it's. Yeah, no, I'm with you though. I'm. There's something about the cold that I just. It just gets my excitement, man. For the. For the game is the beauty of football, man. You get to play in all elements and especially in Arrowhead for sure, man.
- [31:52]
B
Yeah. Even being up in New England this past yesterday, Monday night game.
- [31:56]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [31:57]
B
I just love the cold, man. I like seeing my breath. It just feels like football.
- [32:01]
A
Yeah, the cold and you're like Peaky Blinders outfit, man. That was sweet. It just meshed perfectly. Give a guy a musket. That doesn't work though.
- [32:09]
B
Yeah, right.
- [32:09]
A
All right, well, let's get out of here. We'll see you guys up at Arrowhead and hopefully we come away with a win. Must need win against a really good football team. And let's go, baby. The Fighting d'. Amico. Ryan's man.
- [32:20]
B
Alrighty. Thanks to our presenting sponsor. That's right.
- [32:24]
A
Oh, Yeti.
- [32:27]
B
Yeah, I love these things. Who doesn't love a good Yeti?
- [32:31]
A
Check these things out, dude.
- [32:33]
B
I do a podcast with one and a drink out of one.
- [32:36]
A
Check these things out right here. These NFL ramblers that Yeti sent us.
- [32:41]
B
Got the Eagles one here. I also got a new Heights green one. If you like a little bit of.
- [32:45]
A
A dark green green. It's a good green.
- [32:47]
B
We also have a Super Super Bowl Champions one right here.
- [32:50]
A
Boom.
- [32:51]
B
With a little thermos top. We have an Eagles Rambler, Chiefs 1, and the Force green one that we just showed you, which does match the show colors perfectly.
- [32:58]
A
It's a good green. I like the green. Yeti products are the best. That's right. And you can use them for any drink, hot or cold. It keeps it at exactly the temperature that you want.
- [33:08]
B
Obviously, the Yetis are all made from quality materials. Their dishwashers say BPA free and they're basically indestructible. I don't know how. I don't think I've ever seen one destroyed, maybe dented a little bit, but even that seems like it's pretty hard to do because they're made of stainless steel with double wall insulation.
- [33:23]
A
And there's dozens of product options to choose from to accommodate your beverage of choice. That's right. Their NFL collection has Ramblers, coolers, mugs, flasks, and even beverage bucket. How about that?
- [33:36]
B
I like a good beverage bucket.
- [33:38]
A
And they're available with any NFL team logo, not just our eagle and Chiefs colors.
- [33:44]
B
They even have jets one for Jets Jake. Jets Jake, why don't you show off your yeti? Look at this. All right, get out of here. And YETI has released new products just in time for the holidays, like the ultra durable travel straw mug and for the first time ever, a Shaker bottle with whisk free technology.

- [36:37]
A
That's audible.com HP1 moving on to some Eagles Bears on Black Friday. That was a tough one as well for all those 92 percenters. Assuming everyone is is cheering for our teams. Eagles 15, Bears 24. The Bears are rocking and rolling, man. They are. Bears are rocking and rolling, man. Ben Johnson's got those guys fighting and, and playing good football and taking his.
- [37:00]
B
Shirt off in the locker room.
- [37:01]
A
How about it? Man, the guys are going nuts. Go, man. Those guys are fighting for that. That's how you know when you get a coach that comes in that just he's relatable to all the guys, gets the guys to fight for, man. It's a hard thing to fucking do. And there's a special, like, madness to it that you have to be great at. And some guys got it. And right now he does, man.
- [37:22]
B
Listen. And we've had in Philadelphia, Nick Sirianni has had that. Like, oh, yeah, that's what's frustrating. Like, I think right now the Eagles are trying to figure this thing out. They're trying to get this offense going, and it's, you know, playing the Bears, who really. They're clicking on all cylinders right now. They're playing so well. Their offensive line was rolling. The running backs are running hard, and you can feel that energy and excitement the team has. And the Eagles, I mean, 8 and 4, right? We've had a great season, and I know that it hasn't lived up to the potential, especially on the offensive side of the ball. The defense has been great for the majority of the season, but you could tell, man, they. They want to get this thing figured out, and everybody's frustrated. And, you know, the good thing is we've put ourselves in a situation where being 8 and 4, like, all we got to do is just keep fucking working, man. Keep grinding it out, keep asking ourselves how we can improve it. Coaches, players, everybody. I still think they got the pieces there. I still think they got the offensive weapons. The offensive line is starting to get some continuity and playing together.
- [38:26]
A
They're gonna be big, man. Yeah, that's tough.
- [38:28]
B
Lane Johnson coming back will be huge. Even though Fred has done well, especially in pass pro. I think the run game is close. I really do. I know it hasn't manifested yet, and it's frustrating watching because, you know, it can be so much better. I think it's getting closer. I think that with the health that is starting to come, it'll only improve. And that's what makes the run game so hard, man. And when it's clicking and everybody is on the same page and you got these guys look out. But right now, it's, you know, it's this guy here, it's that guy here. It's, you know, this guy doesn't come off for the. The linebacker, and that is a difference. In a huge run, the safety rolls down and is unhatted, and that kind of ruins this one. They're bringing nickel edge that stalls out a couple runs, and then all of a sudden they run into it and they get a big one. And, you know, it's just been frustrating, especially as a guy who knows how much time those guys put into it up front, how great Saquon Barkley is, how great Jeff Statlin is. It's. It's been frustrating to watch, to be honest with you. But I do think it's getting closer. And I think once that thing gets going, if there's a positive to take away, A.J. brown's starting to get the ball and the receipt, and the passing game feels like it's getting better. And you're seeing the routes now move around more than they were earlier in the year. Like, that was a big complaint. Everybody talked about the route trees and all this stuff that I don't, quite frankly, look as much into a lot of the times. But it's very apparent that they're making a concerted effort to get players moving in different areas and not being as stagnant in the area in which these guys are running routes, I guess, if that makes sense.
- [40:01]
A
No, it 100% does. And it makes life on being a receiver so much easier. That's the one thing when you watch the Chiefs play, you see me moving around all the time. I'm.
- [40:12]
B
Yeah.
- [40:12]
A
Moving from one side of the line to the other side of the line. And it's like what that does is for the defense is it changes passing strength. It changes rules on how they're going to pass off routes. It changes rules on how they have to fill gaps. So get the. Get the defense thinking fast, and all of a sudden you're snapping the ball while they're still trying to figure out how they need to adjust. And you know, if you use that to your advantage, that shit's only going to make things way easier. As a route runner and as offense.
- [40:40]
B
That was one thing that really stood out with the Bears, I will say. I mean, Ben Johnson and how he utilizes the motions and. And guys moving around, he's just so good at it.
- [40:49]
A
Yeah. And they got a lot of good tight ends over there, man, so. And a good run game.
- [40:54]
B
And that's where, like, I. The defense obviously gave up a lot of yards on the ground. There were their office. The Bears offensive line played well. Like, I don't want to discredit them, but I. Watching the tape back, like, there was a lot of just like, you know, we just need to fit this a little bit better, right? Like, we got to handle this motion if we're in the right spot here. If we squeeze down, don't play the boot as much here. Like, it was a lot of that stuff where it felt like this defense is better than the way they played and what the stats looked like at the end of the day. So I felt good after watching the tape. He's got to improve in some of those areas. But I was impressed. I mean, like, for instance, like, they. They motioned a, like, double wing right into the boundary, right? So tight end, receiver into the boundary. They did like a jet motion with the receiver. We rock and roll, right? So reads down to the tight end on the motion. The safeties decide to rock and roll. Meaning Reed goes back to the middle of field and the other safety goes down to the three by side now. And the corner's got to come in now all of a sudden now he's fitting the C gap and they got a big hit on that one. It was just a lot of stuff like that where it was like, like they do a great job of manipulating the gaps, manipulating the tight end movement, doing the boots and like really trying to mess around with guys rules and responsibilities in the run game especially. All in all, again similar to the afc. You think about every team has shown weakness at this point, right? Every team has had their games ups and downs. And I just think at the end of the day, the Eagles have great coaches and they have great players and eventually they're going to be peaking at the right time. I got faith in that. And you look at the top eight teams last year, Lions, commanders, Eagles and Rams, like Chiefs, Texans, Bills and raves. Think about all of these teams that we thought were going to be the best teams coming into it and like all of them have shown shine signs of being really good. And then other weeks have had big letdowns. The two best teams in the league right now consistently have been the Broncos and the Patriots. Right? Yeah, the Rams were the most consistent team in football. All of a sudden they lose to the, they drop one to Charlotte. So.
- [43:02]
A
Yeah, same thing. Carolina is another sneaky one, man. They can, they can put together a game.
- [43:08]
B
It just feels like more than ever the NFL is wide open. Listen, we're 8 and 4. We got time to figure this thing out. It's just going to take some like, concerted effort from everybody. And I know these guys are going to be hard at work to get this done. I can't wait to see Saquon Barkley running again, man. That's all I want. I know everybody wants to see the passing game. Stuff like I want to see Saquon Barkley running through the fucking line untouched, all the way to the end zone. That's what I want to see.
- [43:33]
A
Using those, say quads to just fucking come on.
- [43:36]
B
If they get that going with the way they're playing defense, they will be a very tough team to beat by anybody. That's all I know.
- [43:43]
A
I hear you, man.
- [43:44]
C
While we're on that topic, do you want to just jump ahead to that like NFC standings that I put in there later? If you look at the top, top seven teams in NFC and just look at the fact that the one seed has nine wins, the Seventh seat has nine wins. I think if Chicago loses next week to the packers, they drop from 1 to 7. Like that's how fucking insane this season is.
- [44:03]
B
It really is. Where's that at?
- [44:05]
C
It was just a little later. Scroll on down.
- [44:06]
B
Can we just use what you just said?
- [44:08]
C
You can. I don't like to. I think it's too much on here.
- [44:11]
A
I think it's fun when you jump in.
- [44:12]
B
I think it's good when you just a little.
- [44:14]
C
You like the stash?
- [44:15]
A
I do.
- [44:16]
C
You like a stash.
- [44:16]
A
You into it? Very Bert. It's very Bertie. It's either Burt Reynolds or Mario.
- [44:23]
C
Super Mario.
- [44:24]
A
Yeah.
- [44:25]
C
Okay, I'll take Burt Reynolds. I think of the two.
- [44:28]
B
What is this? Snapchat dm.
- [44:30]
C
You want to read those? Eagles fans have it kind of funny. Eagles fans are breaking up over. Over the Eagles.
- [44:35]
B
Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, read that.
- [44:37]
C
Go ahead.
- [44:37]
B
All right. So apparently Eagles fans are breaking up over the Eagles.
- [44:41]
A
Yeah.
- [44:41]
B
Had a little Snapchat DM here from couple individuals. Derek says. Okay, so I know this is going to sound absolutely crazy, but I was noticing since we started talking daily and went on our date, the Eagles have been shitting to bed. I don't want to hate you, to hate me or block me, but I think maybe we just need to not talk until the season is over.
- [45:00]
A
I love the superstitiousness here till the season's over.
- [45:02]
B
I like you a lot. So don't take this as a dismal. As a dismissal. Just need to turn our luck around for the Birds. And I think you'd understand that, too. And then, of course, she replied, yeah, I mean. Or she replied, lowell, I mean, sure, for the Birds. Way to go, Eagles fans. That's how you freaking date, responsibly.
- [45:21]
A
Did Kylie watch all the Eagles game this time?
- [45:23]
B
We were at the Eagles game and we were watching, yes. She's going to have to start turning her back, Kai. Right? You're right.
- [45:31]
A
You got to be honest. You got to buy in.
- [45:34]
B
We need everything we can.
- [45:36]
A
Everybody needs everything they can. The table's wide open.
- [45:38]
B
Yeah.
- [45:39]
A
Well, I'll say we get out of these two games and get to the rest of the league.
- [45:43]
B
Let's do it.
- [45:43]
A
We got a big week for shit talking. That's right. A lot of talking talking going around the league. That is the nature of the NFL. Some of the best parts of the NFL, if you ask me. Titans, Jags, though, had some. It got a little. Got a little personal over there, man. Jeffrey Simmons claims that Jaguars rookie running back LA Quint Allen Jr. Told him to suck his dick in the middle of the game.
- [46:07]
B
No, man. Jeffrey seems pretty standard trash talk to me. Like, I feel like I've heard that. A bunch of.
- [46:15]
A
Just saying, like, I don't know for sure.
- [46:17]
B
Suck my dick. Like, I feel like I hear that every game. I don't think that's. What are we all of a sudden upset about?
- [46:23]
A
Yeah.
- [46:23]
B
Jeffrey Simmons is a guy that gets very upset in games. He's an angry football player, which I like Angry football players.
- [46:28]
A
Yeah. I'm pretty sure at one point I was at the bottom of a pile and he was grinding his knee into my ankle.
- [46:34]
B
Yeah.
- [46:34]
A
I looked over, I was like, what the fuck? He was like, what? I was like, suck my dick. I'm kidding. I don't talk like that on the football field.
- [46:46]
B
I'm a fine gentleman.
- [46:47]
A
I'm a very nice man.
- [46:49]
B
Yeah.
- [46:50]
A
Tennessee player also claims that Jacksonville punter Logan Cook threatened to kill him, which.
- [47:00]
B
What's up? Tennessee players snitching. What are we doing, guys?
- [47:04]
A
Jags players, man. You guys are doing it, right? You guys are in.
- [47:07]
B
You're in the head.
- [47:08]
A
You're in the head of the opponent. Across.
- [47:10]
B
Keep doing it.
- [47:11]
A
Jacksonville, take it up a notch. Taking up a notch. Tell him how you'd kill him if.
- [47:15]
B
It gets him out of his game because you're not being serious. You're not gonna actually kill him.
- [47:20]
A
That's the thing. Sometimes the punters, they look creepy enough and, like, scrawny and, like, weird enough to where it's like, damn, he probably would do some weird ass.
- [47:30]
B
No way. I've never thought that about a punter.
- [47:32]
A
No, Logan.
- [47:35]
B
A punter saying they're gonna kill him. Like, I would do nothing to me. I'll fucking break your neck right now. You realize I can kill you with my bare hands. I don't even need a weapon.
- [47:49]
A
McAfee is gonna fucking beat your ass.
- [47:52]
B
I would not want to fight McAfee. McAfee's a squirrely son of a bitch. You're right. McAfee would be one guy. Who else wouldn't I want to fight? Sebastian Janikowski. I was gonna say you don't want to find him because you just want.
- [48:03]
A
To have a few beers with him.
- [48:04]
B
Y. He's going to headbutt me or something. He's going to come out of something. A left field with something I'm not ready for.
- [48:09]
A
He's going to Steven Seagal. Fucking imagine if that hit your neck, but that'll do to you.
- [48:17]
B
Listen, I think that there's A very clear. As long as nothing being said is either racist in nature or attacking somebody's family, that's not playing the game. I feel like it's all fair game. Yeah. If somebody says, I'm gonna fucking kill you, I'll kill you. Like, I don't know what it's like. I don't know what the. Not if I kill you first. I'm heard somebody say, I'll kill you, and be like, this guy just threatened my life. I'm gonna report him to hr. I don't know what's. Like, what are we talking about? Yeah, did you just hear him? He's threatening my life.
- [48:52]
A
He told me to.
- [48:53]
B
I don't know what's happening right now.
- [48:54]
A
He told me to put his dick in my mouth.
- [48:56]
B
He said, get this. He told me to S his D. I think that should be a 15 yard penalty, sir. I just. I don't know. Maybe. Maybe the. In my two years removed from the NFL, talking shit to people is all of a sudden off limits. But I feel like both of those things happened a litany of times. And most of the time, no one is literally saying to suck their D. Like, I don't know what's happening. I will tickle your tonsils. Suck my D. Yeah, you'd like to tickle my tonsils, wouldn't you?
- [49:41]
A
Maybe the biggest non NFL football news taking it to the college ranks. Oh, Ms. Lane Kiffin finally took the head coaching job at LSU after weeks and literally just like won or like a couple days of speculation leaves Ole Miss as the team preps to potentially host a college football playoff game. Which is. This is tough, man. It's tough on Ole Miss. It's tough on the players because Lane Kiffin's going to want to take everyone from his staff that has made him, you know, the, the head coach that he is today that has helped ingrain in the kids at Ole Miss that, that, you know, this is the style of football that we need to be playing. And I get it if you're laying Kiffin, I mean, there needs to be some sort of rule by the NCAA that you can't start looking for new job opportunities until after the season. Because, yeah, Ole Miss is going to go into college football with someone's dad as a fucking, like, helper. You know what I mean? Like, you don't just have extra coaches on the practice squad. You know what I mean? Like, you have gas and you have guys that aren't going to get invited with Lane to Ole Miss and you're just Going to have to gather up people from around the university or however you need to do it. We were at the fucking Sugar bowl with, like, guys dads helping with personnel on the sidelines.
- [51:09]
B
I don't remember that. Really.
- [51:11]
A
Dude. What. Who else did we have? We had fucking, like, GA's, like, helping.
- [51:15]
B
No, we had everybody. We had everybody other than BK stayed for the game. Right. There might have been one other person that went with bk.
- [51:24]
A
You know what I'm thinking of? When Butch left.
- [51:25]
B
Left?
- [51:26]
A
Yeah, when. When Coach Jones. Yeah, when Coach Jones left, we had literally guys. Well, that wasn't the Sugar Bowl. That was the old bell, and we found a way to fight her out there. But we had, like, GA's being, you know, the. The main. The lead coaches and whatnot. It's just. It's. It's a cluster, and it's. It's definitely putting the team and the players at a disadvantage when you don't have, you know, your head coach or like. Like your offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, things like that.
- [51:57]
B
Yeah, I mean, it sucks. We've been through it, obviously, with Brian Kelly, Ambush Jones. Well, you went through with Butch. I went through with Brian, with and Mark Dantonio, where we played bowl games with interim coaches because those guys took other jobs. And I mean, listen, it's the way it's been forever. I mean, it's very. I. Part of me is mad that it takes Ole Miss happening, too, for all of a sudden everybody to realize how fucked it up. And it's like, nobody gave a fuck about, like, oh, yeah, of course Brian Kelly went to Notre Dame. He left Cincinnati. Like, of course that happened. All of a sudden, Lake Given does it, the Ole Miss, and they're like, oh, this is an outrage. How could he do this to his plays? Like, this happened to me twice, and nobody gave a. About it, and I couldn't transfer. At least these guys can leave. I was just stuck there twiddling my thumbs like, I hope they hire a good guy.
- [52:42]
A
That's so cool.
- [52:44]
B
Take your sob story and shove it up your Miss. I got no pity for you guys, but I just. This is the way it works. I do think that there should be rules in NCAA that prevent coaches from leaving before the bowl games have been played out or before the playoffs have happened. But it's not going to happen because the national signing day is so close. All of these schools are in the heat of recruiting right now. Like, that's the reality of it. Like, that's why LSU wants Lane Giffen there, right? That's why all these guys need him to go before the bowl game is because they need to have good players on the team and they want to be able to sell the program. And I mean, it just sucks. You wish there was a way that he could accept the job, but also still coach the game. You know, I think it sucks for Ole Miss. I'm kind of. I'm lying. I do feel bad for Ole Miss because I went through it myself with Brad Kelly and Notre Dame sucks and it's not fun, you know, and you work so hard as a team and as a group of men and kids to get to that point and, you know, it's a deflating moment for what should be a joyous time for everyone in that building.
- [53:49]
A
Yeah. And at the university, man. Yeah.
- [53:51]
B
And you know, we were undefeated. Our best year that we've ever had at Cincinnati to that date.
- [53:57]
A
We were, I think it was two seconds or three seconds away from going to the national championship.
- [54:03]
B
Yeah. If Nebraska would have found out Texas to beat Texas and don't sue. If you would have got to the quarterback one more time, we might have been.
- [54:11]
A
Came down to a rollout. We call it heave ho in in our building, but it's a play where you try and roll out and you try and exhaust the last seconds of the game by throwing it as high and as far out of bounds as possible.
- [54:25]
B
Yeah.
- [54:25]
A
And. And Texas did that at the end of a game, but they were one second away from giving the ball back. Yeah.
- [54:33]
B
Yeah. I mean, it was. We. I think we ended up the four seeds. I don't know that we would have made it anyway, but either way, we're the fourth ranked team in the country and we got our dicks absolutely shoved in by the Florida Gators. And Tim Tebow's last game.
- [54:44]
A
I was so upset that. That they didn't keep that in the Florida documentary.
- [54:50]
B
I didn't see that. Didn't see the Florida doc. I didn't watch it, though.
- [54:53]
A
It's about Urban Meyer and those. Those couple years, those handful of years that the. That he was there at the Florida Gators and. And when Tebow came in and had some dogs. Just how amazing that those teams were and how they fought in the ups and downs that they went through and it was cool. But then they ended it with the regular season ending at the sec and it's like that's not how their season ended. Their season ended by Tim tebow throwing for seven touchdowns and 500 yards against the Cincinnati Bearcats in the Sugar Bowl.
- [55:25]
B
We got absolutely fucking Killed. We were so. And to be honest, like it sucked not having Brian Kelly, but I can tell you very confidently would not have mattered if Brian Kelly was catching that game. We were so much less talented than that.
- [55:40]
A
I ran a little wildcat in there.
- [55:42]
B
Got it.
- [55:42]
A
Got my. Got my two plays in there. We did think. I didn't. I didn't get into.
- [55:46]
B
I made Carlos Dunlop's highlight reel on draft day because you sack. Yeah.
- [55:52]
A
What the fuck were you doing blocking.
- [55:55]
B
Dunlop Every time he would line up as a three technique in. When I was studying tape that week, he kept running a U stunt or te. Yeah, he would. He would pick the tackle and the end would loop around. So I'm getting ready to punch the out of him to try and put him out on Jeff Linkenbach.
- [56:10]
A
Yeah.
- [56:11]
B
And right when I go to punch, he hit me on an inside spin move so fast. I was like, oh, they aren't doing this in the Big east.
- [56:22]
A
So.
- [56:22]
B
Yeah, that wasn't good. Tony. Tony got crushed on that play. Sorry. Tony Pike.
- [56:26]
A
Shout out to Los.
- [56:27]
B
Yeah. Anyways, yeah, it sucks. It's. It's the way it has been for a long time in football. It is kind of funny to me that like now they're like a bigger program. It's happening to them. I'm supposed to care more than what happened to me and you two and three times and happens a little small universities all the time.
- [56:46]
A
Yeah.
- [56:47]
B
Oh, Biz fans had his clothes in the parking lot by the end of the day.
- [56:49]
A
It was hilarious. Dude. The fans outside the private jet. Dude. Dude. Oh, man. It was good.
- [56:58]
B
Well, sorry that you're going through it. Ole Miss. I know what you're going through. It sucks.
- [57:01]
A
Can't wait to see Ole Miss vs LSU next year though, baby. Here we go. Here we go.
- [57:05]
B
They still got some playoff games going.
- [57:07]
A
Yeah. But at the same time, it's like.
- [57:09]
B
That'S all you want to see.
- [57:10]
A
I want to see. Yeah. I want to see Lane Kiffin have to go back better.
- [57:13]
B
What if they play better? Who's he? Is there an interim coach? Is he for sure going with Lane Kiffin?
- [57:18]
A
I think they. I think their season just ended well.
- [57:20]
B
Now they're going to the playoffs, aren't they? Isn't that why this is a big deal?
- [57:23]
A
Yeah, they are. You're right. We have no idea.
- [57:27]
B
Maybe Pete Golding goods really well and they offer him a bunch of money.
- [57:29]
A
Their special teams long snapper father is actually going to be doing signals for them in the playoffs. It'll be great.
- [57:39]
B
I mean, I think SEC has a little more resources than we had at Cincinnati to handle coaching.
- [57:50]
A
Bring Eli back, Eli. Go take charge for. For a college football playoff.
- [57:55]
B
That's great.
- [57:56]
A
Just get somebody in there that represents the program. All right, let's wrap up football with some of these stamps of the Week Stamp of the Week brought to you by Audible.
- [58:06]
B
It's an amazing app. It's an amazing platform to learn, be entertained, you name it. A lot of. A lot of good stuff on Audible.
- [58:14]
A
All right, nice.
- [58:15]
B
Nominees for Stamp of the Week, we got Giants holder Jamie Gillen for making the best out of whatever that was. I mean, he actually. He's the reason that it happened.
- [58:24]
A
Is this the field goal kick?
- [58:25]
B
This is the kicker where he kicked the turf. The snapper was actually. The ball slips when he puts it down and he has to readjust it. And I think it spooked the kicker. I do think he also just up, though, even if you see that. Why do you do that?
- [58:41]
A
I think that lead steps just a little too far out in front of that. That football. He's got it. He's got it. Because when you get too far out in the football now, you got to be steep at the ball.
- [58:50]
B
Yeah.
- [58:52]
A
And think you gotta. Yeah, you gotta. Then you gotta bring that left. That left hip out of there. He kept it a little too far closed in, and now you're really getting down there. You're not allowing yourself to get through the ball. Yeah, you want to keep that. That lead step right even or a little bit behind us. You can get through the ball.
- [59:09]
B
Get through the ball. Either way, I'm not giving Jamie a stamp of the week because it wasn't a great hole. Pukinakua for this insane catch. Let's check this one out.
- [59:19]
A
This was insane indeed.
- [59:26]
B
Little OBJ action. Puka reverse backhanded catch. Very impressive, man.
- [59:33]
A
If we're going to go catch, I'm going tight end Brock Bowers.
- [59:36]
B
It's a good one. It's a good one.
- [59:37]
A
He gets by stamp of the week at least twice a year because of how good he is. But this is an insane catch.
- [59:47]
B
Oh, wow. That's impressive.
- [59:49]
A
Off the freaking turf. That boy just loves ball, man. What a goon, man. Oh, draped all over him. Snow cones it.
- [60:01]
B
Yeah, baby. Snow cones it. I liked it. Just. Brandon, stop putting Archie Manning in this stamp of the week thing.
- [60:10]
A
No, no, I won't.
- [60:12]
C
Good for you.
- [60:14]
A
I'm watching you, baby.
- [60:15]
F
Lock in.
- [60:17]
B
What, Pantsless jets fan. Let me see this one.
- [60:20]
F
Oh, we got security presence now. I wonder why.
- [60:29]
B
That'S great. I got. I would love to give that stamp, but I think you got to draw the line, though. You got no shirts. Funny. No pants. That can go south. I go south real quick. All right. I'm gonna go with the Ernest Jones pick six. I know it's not original. It was a great pick. It was a wild play.
- [60:49]
A
Yes.
- [60:50]
B
Sorry to Max Brosner. Rough first outing. I mean, he's playing really good defense. It's gonna be hard to have a good game against those guys.
- [61:00]
A
Yeah. This. This is insane. I just can't do it.
- [61:04]
B
It. No.
- [61:04]
A
Can't do it. Can't do it.
- [61:06]
B
Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it.
- [61:09]
A
Do it. But it was an electric play.
- [61:11]
B
It's an electric play. Ernest Jones really didn't have to do.
- [61:13]
A
Much, but it's an electric play other than be ready. You just got to be ready. Sometimes that's half the battle, man. You got to be ready, be prepared. Oh.
- [61:25]
B
All righty. That does it for Stamp of the week, brought to you by Audible.
- [61:28]

And now a tale from our partner, Gillette.
- [63:13]
A
Twas the night before game day and all through the house, not a creature was stirring. Except for a Kelse. Loud as a mouse.
- [63:21]
B
The stockings were hung by the chimney with flair. But I'm still debating what holiday gift to put there.
- [63:27]
A
Another macaroni necklace? Masterpiece.
- [63:31]
B
That or Gillette Lab's official Eagles razor for shaving with ease.
- [63:35]
A
Can't go wrong with either. But I hear in KC the Chief's razor is top of the wish list. Including for me.
- [63:42]
B
Now let's check in with our clean shaving crew. Jake and Brandon, give us your review. Oh, that's why the mustache has been here. There you go. Now I'm understanding.
- [63:52]
C
Yes, it's good shaving. Good to clean up the top here, clean up the neckline.
- [63:56]
A
You guys look good.
- [63:57]
B
I had to grow this out during November. I shaved for Halloween and then.
- [64:01]
C
That's nice.
- [64:01]
B
Gillette made me look like Big Red. But not quite as impressive on the mustache.
- [64:05]
C
The shaving gel smells incredible. But let's get back to our our Christmas shaving story.
- [64:11]
A
Their shaves are unbeatably smooth. They're looking sharp.
- [64:15]
B
And thanks to those long lasting Gillette blades, they're still on their first cart.

A
Ooh. So 92 percenters, don't stress or be blue. Gillette's got the perfect gift for you.

- [65:27]
B
And now it's probably what you've waited this entire episode for. That's right. We're gonna talk, and we. How the fuck did this happen?
- [65:33]
A
I don't know how we even got to this point in life, Jason.
- [65:38]
B
Yeah. I don't even know how to talk to people of this stature.
- [65:42]
A
Well, because they talk to you. You.
- [65:44]
B
And they're just so much smarter.
- [65:48]
A
Why is he so good at just, like, being a cool person? He does it so effortlessly.
- [65:54]
B
I know.
- [65:55]
A
You said it best. You said it was like if. If that's. If that's what a movie star is.
- [66:01]
B
Jesus Christ.
- [66:02]
A
That's what a superstar is. I'm.
- [66:05]
B
Yeah.
- [66:05]
A
Because I don't have that.
- [66:07]
B
No. Just sitting there, you know, he's a superstar. He doesn't even need to say anything. And then he starts talking and he's, like, way better at conversing.
- [66:14]
A
Yeah.
- [66:15]
B
I was like, this is what I do for a living. You're already like, can you not be great at everything, George? Jesus Christ.
- [66:20]
A
You guys are gonna see George Clooney take over this podcast.
- [66:26]
F
So are we on? You going? All right, I'm gonna. I want to start off.
- [66:30]
A
Oh, okay.
- [66:32]
F
I'm gonna start off. Not you guys. I'm gonna start off. Jason, I dig you, man.
- [66:37]
B
Oh, wow.
- [66:37]
F
You know, you're George, your nfc, You're a Hall of Famer. You know, I can. I can. I can show some love for you.
- [66:46]
B
Thank you. Thank you.
- [66:46]
F
Josh Travis. You broke me, man. I'm a Bengals fan, dude. I grew up in Cincinnati. Oh, you've broken me so many times in your pretty face on gq. And I have to. You know how many times I've thrown, like, a hoagie at my tv at your face? You've broken me.
- [67:10]
B
You got.
- [67:11]
A
You guys.
- [67:11]
B
You guys had your run.
- [67:12]
A
You guys broke me. You guys broke me. I'll tell you what, the Bengals broke me coming out. They guys. They took a tight end ahead of me in the draft, and I felt heartbroken. I was a Cincinnati bear cat. I was sitting in the backyard. That's right.
- [67:25]
F
You're a bear cat, man.
- [67:26]
B
Yeah.
- [67:27]
F
You were literally in the Backyard. I was off a straight street off the back of Cincinnati. I used to live on Straight Street.
- [67:34]
A
How about it? Really?
- [67:35]
C
Yeah.
- [67:35]
F
Yeah.
- [67:36]
B
We had this in the rundown before you brought it up. We have conflicting reports. We always. At least if you go to the University of Cincinnati, you're told as a student that George Clooney went to uc. Is that true?
- [67:46]
F
Yeah, for a minute. Yeah.
- [67:48]
B
That counts, right?
- [67:50]
A
It counts.
- [67:51]
F
I lived on Straight Street. On. On the hill, you know, where if it snowed and you parked, the cars would all end up at the bottom of the hill.
- [67:58]
B
Exactly what you're talking about.
- [68:00]
A
Hell, yeah. If you lived at the bottom down that.
- [68:02]
B
That hill.
- [68:03]
A
Yeah. If you lived at the bottom of that hill when it snowed, you ain't making it to practice. You're calling it up.
- [68:09]
F
You went down to the King quick at the bottom. You just got Doritos and a beer, and you just sat there until.
- [68:15]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [68:16]
F
That's all you could do, man.
- [68:17]
A
Over the rhyme, baby. That's some good.
- [68:19]
F
Over the rye. You remember that area? That was, like, tricky.
- [68:22]
A
Remember? Oh, yeah. Now it's clean. No, now it's a lot better. It's a lot better than clean, that place.
- [68:26]
B
There's still pockets.
- [68:29]
A
Pockets. That's a great way to put it.
- [68:30]
F
I was back at CC a couple weeks ago, and it was funny. I went back and the owner of the. The Cincinnati Reds came out. I was doing. I'm speaking in front of a couple thousand people. Owner of the Cincinnati Reds came out and, you know, I had a couple of tryouts for the Reds when I was younger. And he came up and read, like, my scouting report, and it was the most humiliating thing you ever heard.
- [68:54]
A
That's too good.
- [68:56]
F
He's got no arm, he's got no speed. He can't hit.
- [69:00]
A
Tell you what, though, he puts a jersey on, man, the guy looks like a ball player.
- [69:05]
B
I look like. I look.
- [69:06]
F
I had a hat. Dude, I look good.
- [69:09]
B
I believe it. I believe it. I gotta see those.
- [69:11]
A
That's too good. Was it just like high school tryouts or like.
- [69:15]
F
Yeah, it was. You know, they had a. They had a thing where they were taking people out of high school for, you know. You know, anybody who was playing well in high school and they took you out and brought you in and let.
- [69:24]
B
You.
- [69:24]
F
Let you try out for. There was.
- [69:25]
A
Yeah, like a little combiner showcase. Yeah.
- [69:28]
F
Yeah, it was fun. But, boy, it was. It was pretty humiliating in front of all those people.
- [69:32]
A
That's too funny that he had it in there. There. You still had The. The detailed report, man, that's too funny. Well, nice. Now, now we can get it out there. He. Were you in the ADAPT program at Cincinnati for. For a little bit.
- [69:44]
F
No, none of that.
- [69:46]
A
Well, once a bearcat, always a bearcat of my book, dude.
- [69:52]
F
I also, you know, I was a UK kid too. I loved uk. So, you know, I had to. We had, you know, I would side with the UK for basketball because, you know, you kind of wanted to have a winner and you're.
- [70:03]
A
Hell yeah.
- [70:04]
F
And I'd been a Bengals fan for a long time and you know, we'd lost an awful lot of games.
- [70:08]
B
A lot of losers.
- [70:11]
F
There's a lot of losing. For a while we were, I think the losing this franchise in. In football and then we kind of got a little better, you know.
- [70:18]
B
Yeah.
- [70:18]
F
Back in the day was Kenny Anderson was a quarterback.
- [70:21]
A
How about it? How about it?
- [70:24]
B
I'm gonna get this intro going and we'll get this thing officially started. I know. All right, here we go. Our guest today is a Hollywood legend from Lexington, Kentucky, a four time Golden Globe winner, a four time Screen Actors Guild Award winner, a Tony Award winner and a two time Academy Award winner. You know, from his roles in, er, Syriana, out of Sight. Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou Perfect Store? From Dustville Dog, Michael Clayton, Bird after Reading and Oceans 11, 12 and 13. And there's probably more coming. He's the star of the upcoming film J. Kelly. And unlike myself, he actually won Sexiest man alive twice. Twice. 92. Please welcome Mr. George Clooney. Oh my gosh, man.
- [71:15]
F
Guys, that is just clarification. I never won a Tony, but you know, I'm glad you said it. Anyway, we can get it out there. Then people will think I won and that's more fun.
- [71:25]
A
You did.
- [71:25]
B
Now, dang it. Just. All right. I appreciate the honesty. Did we miss any? Yeah. Did we give you one? Many. We missed a bunch, I'm sure.
- [71:36]
F
Yeah, it's okay. I'm fine. I'll be okay.
- [71:41]
B
All right, guys.
- [71:42]
F
How's it going, man?
- [71:43]
B
We're doing great. Thank you so much for taking the time to hop on George. This is incredible honor for us. It is. I still can't believe that we're getting guests of your stature on this thing.
- [71:53]
A
Insane.
- [71:54]
B
This is incredible.
- [71:55]
F
Stature. Now see, I get gray and I have stature.
- [71:58]
B
Well, I mean, no, you, you get. What's you get. Dang it.
- [72:05]
F
Distinguished.
- [72:05]
A
I know. It's coming from a guy that's. That's, that's turning gray as well. And I'll tell you what? He embraces the grayness he embraced. He can't wait till he goes full white.
- [72:12]
B
I'm right. Damn right.
- [72:13]
F
Dude, it's coming. It happens fast.
- [72:16]
B
Okay, perfect. I'm looking forward to it. I'm full Santa Claus here in a couple years, man, it's going to be epic.
- [72:22]
F
Your wife will be so happy.
- [72:24]
B
Yeah, she'll be thrilled. She'll be thrilled. All right, let's. Let's talk about Jay Kelly. How about that?
- [72:28]
A
That.
- [72:28]
F
All right, bring it on.
- [72:29]
B
Initial thoughts, first of all, incredible film. Loved every second of it. And I know you already. I'm sure you've been asked this by anybody else talking to you about this film. Did this film feel extra personal to you? Being about a blockbuster actor and everything happening behind the scenes? There had to be some type of personal connection to you in this film.
- [72:52]
F
Well, I mean, look, you know, we're the same height and the same hair.
- [72:59]
A
So. Good, good.
- [73:00]
F
The guy's kind of, you know, he's kind of a mess. And I hope at my age that I'm not quite in that much of a fair enough crisis mode, but, you know, listen. Yeah, look, there's a guy whose kids hate him and, you know, dad doesn't like him. I got so. Yeah, I got eight year olds and they still dig me, you know, Perfect. That's going to change as, you know.
- [73:23]
B
Teenage years are coming.
- [73:26]
F
How old are your kids?
- [73:27]
B
Dude, they're all. They're all young. I got six, four, two and a brand new one, so we're in the early one.
- [73:34]
A
Nice.
- [73:34]
F
It's coming, man. And I'm telling you, dude, it's like, even at 8, I've got like my daughter rolling her eyes now, which is a new thing.
- [73:41]
B
Gosh. Okay.
- [73:42]
F
Like, I'd say, like, hey, you know, your dad's a big star and she just rolls her eyes.
- [73:47]
B
Yeah, sure, dad. How do you handle that? Let me ask you that. Are you a. Say, like, like, do you, Are you a strict or do you. Do you get on? Like, what's your parenting style?
- [73:59]
F
I'm. I'm probably. I'm a little strict. I'm not like, you know, not nut bag about it. My kids are pretty good. My kids are really well behaved. But, you know, I have to say it's a. It's a pretty funny adventure raising kids, you know, because they're, you know, you don't realize, you know, how, how much they're listening to you. Like, I was in the car driving to school the other day and. And, you know, I, I like some Guy, you know, cut me off and I was like. And I'm, I'm driving and like, about five minutes later in the back seat, I hear from my 8 year old.
- [74:36]
A
Same, same delivery.
- [74:38]
B
Oh, my gosh.
- [74:40]
F
And you know they're gonna say that, and my wife's gonna hear it, and then I'm dead.
- [74:44]
B
Yes, exactly.
- [74:46]
F
There's no way I could deny. You're learning as you go.
- [74:52]
B
That's amazing. All right, well, to summarize the movie for everybody that needs to go watch this thing, George Cooler plays a famous actor, J. Kelly. Alongside this is an awesome moment. His manager, Adam Sandler.
- [75:05]
A
The Sandman, baby.
- [75:06]
B
And you guys go to Europe to kind of as a sabbatical almost to kind of re. Find out, you know, what are we doing here? And a little midlife crisis kind of moment. I thought it was fantastic.
- [75:16]
F
It's so much fun, you guys. Do you guys know Adam and all. Have you ever met him?
- [75:19]
B
Well, Trav, yeah. Travels in Happy Gilmore too.
- [75:23]
A
I had the pleasure of being on set with the big guy.
- [75:25]
F
Yeah, that's right. You were in the movie, by the way. He didn't ask me.
- [75:31]
B
That's a missed opportunity, Adam. That's a missed opportunity.
- [75:35]
F
I told him, man, I work cheap. Not, you know, not like Travis.
- [75:41]
A
I'm doing this thing for free. Just let me be on set, man.
- [75:46]
F
He's such a good egg, you know, he's such a fun cat and fun to, Fun to, you know, work with. He and I've been playing basketball together for about 30 years and, you know, just a chance to get a chance to work with him was what a blast. What a fun thing to be able.
- [75:58]
A
To do, you know, just the best, man, Adam. Such a good dude, man. I was, I was. I'm still forever thankful that he, he even sent the ass to allow me to be the waiter. But honestly, looking back on it, if he would have asked you and you would have been that waiter. God damn that. I think the movie might have been ten times better, man.
- [76:16]
F
Dude, I, I, I, I play a great waiter. You have no idea.
- [76:21]
A
See you. Ready to roll. Seeing you chest bum, Xander Shafley.
- [76:25]
F
So wait now, is this gonna be, Is this gonna be the, the thing now? You know, when you retire. I know you're not gonna retire. When you retire, is this gonna, are you gonna go into some show business? Are you gonna act more?
- [76:38]
A
Listen, as long as I'm getting asked by, by guys like Adam Sandler, you know, my heroes growing up, man, I'm. I'm gonna be there in A heartbeat, man. I, I don't know. I don't know how much skill I have, but I'll be the best teammate on set and have some fun with you if, if you hire me. That's for damn sure.
- [76:55]
F
That's exciting, man. That's gonna be fun. By the way, Travis, you were in Lake Como, weren't you?
- [77:00]
A
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Me and Tay danced around Lake Como for a little while, man. I loved it out there.
- [77:05]
F
That's my. You know, I got a place there out there. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
- [77:10]
A
They love, they love to point it out whenever you're doing the. Whenever you're on the lake.
- [77:13]
F
I'm part of the tour.
- [77:16]
A
Funny thing.
- [77:17]
F
And now if you look to your left, you see a Georgia Clooney house.
- [77:21]
A
I'll tell you what, it sits perfectly on that water, man. It's a beautiful place and a beautiful area. Everybody out there is so lovely, man. I was. Every morning I was throwing my, my shoes on, running up and down the water, and we had gloomy days, we had beautiful days, and it was just. Every single day was just a new epic, like realization what's really around the world. And I had never even imagined that place, you know, in my dreams years.
- [77:44]
F
Had you spent time in Italy at all?
- [77:46]
A
No, that was my first time.
- [77:47]
F
Because, you know, what you'll see is there's. There's a version of life that they live that's pretty interesting. You know, they, they really celebrate dinner. You know, it's two hours and you're eating with. You're eating with a 10 year old and you're eating with your grandparents and it's a, you know, they, they do it right there.
- [78:03]
A
There's so many little spots that are just so fun to go to dinner too, man. It's like, it's like you're. You're going to a place that has like 10 seats in, in a, in a corner of a cove and it's just the, the best posse you could ever imagine. And just the best. It's such a cool place. I remember. I recommend that place for everybody.
- [78:22]
B
Love it.
- [78:22]
F
Love it. Yeah, it's good.
- [78:23]
B
Well, one of the things in the movie here, George, is that there's. The entourage of Jay's character is immense. Right. Not just Adam, like everybody that is like, that is at the beck and call of this movie star hairstylist. Yeah.
- [78:39]
F
You know, like, like Travis does.
- [78:43]
B
Very similar. How accurate is this portrayal? Is this an accurate Hollywood trope?
- [78:49]
F
Well, I know some actors who have pretty big, you know, pretty big crowd around them, it doesn't seem like it'd be all that fun, but I do know a few that have it. It does seems like a lot of work to me.
- [79:00]
A
Yeah, I hear you.
- [79:01]
F
But I, you know, most of the gang that I know are pretty. Actually live a pretty normal life, believe it or not. I mean, it's sort of surprising. But, you know, most of the guys, like, all the gang from Oceans that I, you know, Brad and Matt and Julia, they actually have fairly normal lives, considering sort of who they are.
- [79:22]
A
Yeah. Yeah.
- [79:22]
F
Not me. I have, like, 40 people. There's someone sitting directly behind me holding.
- [79:30]
B
My face back at all times. Yeah.
- [79:35]
A
Oh, man, that was a banger. George, did you have to do some sort of like. Like, long distance training? You're running in. In like, the entire second half of the movie. You're just sprinting across fields.
- [79:47]
F
Okay, so here's the thing. First of all, we were trying to run like a big goofball, but, you know, I'm.
- [79:51]
A
I'm.
- [79:51]
F
I'm 64 years old, and we do like, it's like a couple hundred yards sprinting.
- [79:55]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [79:56]
F
And I do it like 30, like, 30 takes, you know?
- [79:59]
B
Oh, my gosh.
- [79:59]
F
And at one point, I go to the director, I go, you know, I'm. I'm 64. And he goes, well, I just like to see you run faster.
- [80:10]
B
No way.
- [80:11]
A
No way.
- [80:15]
F
And here's something I learned from Jason. Rather than running faster, I just pumped my arms faster.
- [80:21]
B
That's right. That's right.
- [80:22]
A
There you go.
- [80:23]
F
That's something. Jason.
- [80:24]
B
Smarter, not harder.
- [80:26]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [80:30]
B
Oh, gosh.
- [80:31]
F
So wait, where are you guys? You're in. You're in kc, right?
- [80:34]
A
Yep.
- [80:35]
F
And, Jason, where are you?
- [80:36]
B
I'm in Philly, man. I live here. We settled here. My wife is from five minutes away from where we live, so we got a lot of support with the kids and everything, so. So there really wasn't another option. I don't know if we'd be able to do what we do.
- [80:47]
F
Do you guys battle it out over who's got the. The coolest podcast? Do you get into that? Do you fight?
- [80:54]
B
For sure.
- [80:55]
A
It's everything. You already know. You got to. You. You gotta. You gotta go after every bit of, like, bracken rights at. At the dinner table during Thanksgiving, man. It's. It's. It's never stops.
- [81:05]
B
What? Let me ask you this. As. As a Cincinnati fan, Burrow's coming back. Like, does that inspire you or is it just like, this defense is so bad it doesn't matter who's playing quarterback back.
- [81:13]
F
Well, I worry. I mean, you know, it's not like Flacco wasn't putting up good numbers. So what do you do? Listen, it's been, it's. It's an inch done.
- [81:21]
B
Yeah.
- [81:21]
F
No, it's an interesting thing to be a. A Cincinnati fan in general. You know, I grew up, when I was growing up in Cincinnati, we were in Kentucky, but across the river I was, you know, so in 1975, I was 14 years old and we had the Big Red machine, you know, and it was like. I didn't think. I thought we were always going to be the, you know, Cincinnati is going to be the epicenter of great sports, you know.
- [81:48]
B
Yeah.
- [81:48]
F
I didn't realize that that was sort of going to be our, our swan song in general.
- [81:55]
B
Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, those.
- [81:57]
F
That freaking Joe Morgan, Ken Griffey.
- [82:00]
B
Oh, yeah.
- [82:01]
F
Think about the. I mean, we had a team, man.
- [82:04]
B
Absolutely.
- [82:05]
A
Have you, have you met Joey Burrow, the smooth guy at Ohio native? Haven't ran into him yet.
- [82:11]
F
No. And I, you know, and I'm a. And I'm a big fan. I know that you, you guys like to harm him. I know that.
- [82:19]
A
But listen, he's armed us. He won, I think the first three games ever played against us. I remember it. I remember it renamed the stadium.
- [82:31]
F
Between Burrow and our, you know, we have some amazing receivers and Chase and those guys where, you know, we really do have a. Know it's fun to watch again. That part's fun. It's just heartbreaking to, you know, try and stop a run. It's like, are you guys going to win it all this year?
- [82:52]
A
That's the, that's the plan, big guy. We got some things to clean up, that's for sure. So I won't, I won't just go ahead and say that. We're. We're going to.
- [82:59]
F
But when you've won Super Bowls, is it every team that comes in is, Is gunning for you guys then? Is that how it feels?
- [83:05]
B
For sure.
- [83:06]
A
That's, that's, that's the, that's the honor that you get though, when you winning. You know what I mean? Like, I'm a competitor where I want everybody's best. I want, I want. I get excited about those games when the moments are huge and you know what I mean? It's a, it's a close game and you need to be your greatest. Like, I love those moments. Those are my, those are my favorite games to be a part of.
- [83:24]
F
Exciting.
- [83:25]
A
And it definitely. When you play in good quarterbacks like Burrow and. And Josh Allen and those guys. Like, it's every game.
- [83:32]
F
Oh, man.
- [83:32]
A
You know what I mean? Like, you know, you got to play your. Your top or else you're going to get some smoked.
- [83:36]
B
I got. I got a question, George. Do you guys ever. Do actors get competitive, like athletes?
- [83:41]
F
Well, that's funny.
- [83:41]
B
Like, everybody's gunning for the Chiefs and the Eagles for the Super Bowl. Like, do you get competitive with some of these other guys? Like, my film's gonna outdo yours or how does that work?
- [83:51]
F
No, I don't think so, because we're kind of, you know, there's not a. You know, I don't have to beat out somebody or they don't have to beat me out. So I, you know, to. To sort of succeed, you know, in a weird way, but so there isn't really that kind of competition, you know, I mean, I do enjoy, like, you know, I'll give those guys. I love giving Matt Damon.
- [84:13]
B
And he.
- [84:14]
F
Deserves it, by the way. Absolutely.
- [84:16]
B
Absolutely.
- [84:17]
F
By the way. He's a Patriots fan, and the Patriots are playing. Well, I can't live with it right now.
- [84:22]
B
It's bad.
- [84:25]
A
They let him. They let up. Ohio. Ohio guy.
- [84:27]
B
Get it.
- [84:28]
A
Get it there, Realm, man.
- [84:29]
B
I'm just saying.
- [84:29]
A
Ohio ball player, man.
- [84:30]
B
Crazy how much can make a difference.
- [84:32]
F
Yeah, it's huge, though. And then. And you and Pitts, a Kansas City fan. So you guys got pit.
- [84:38]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [84:38]
F
So, you know, the whole oceans. The whole oceans team is breaking me, man.
- [84:42]
B
It's just too much, you know?
- [84:45]
F
We're gonna do another oceans.
- [84:46]
B
What? You guys are doing another one?
- [84:48]
F
Yeah, we're gonna do another one. Oh, but, you know, now we're old, so it's gonna be like, mostly just trying not to crap yourself.
- [84:57]
A
Dude. I can't. I can't wait, though.
- [85:00]
F
It's like every sneeze is a gamble now, you know?
- [85:03]
A
Yeah.
- [85:03]
B
Is this already, like, you guys getting ready to film it? How does this work?
- [85:07]
F
No, we're scouting locations.
- [85:08]
B
Everything's been agreed to.
- [85:10]
F
Yeah. The only. The main thing is just finding the time for the. In the schedule to figure out when we can all do it. But, yeah, we've got a really good script and it's gonna be fun. Fun to work, get those guys back in the room. It'll be fun.
- [85:19]
B
Oh, hell yeah.
- [85:20]
A
Yeah.
- [85:21]
B
Well, it's been pretty damn good so far.
- [85:23]
F
Yeah.
- [85:23]
A
Yeah.
- [85:23]
B
Do you think you'll ever get back in on screen with the Coen brothers? I gotta say. Oh, brother.
- [85:27]
F
We're out now.
- [85:28]
B
Hail Caesar. Burn after reading. Come on now, now. Oh, my gosh.
- [85:33]
F
Yeah, that was a pretty funny thing. You know, I remember when I was doing oh, Brother, Where Art Thou? You know, they came to me. My aunt was this famous singer named Rosemary Clooney. Great singer. And back in the 50s. And they kind of assumed. Because I had an aunt who could sing, I think they assumed I could sing.
- [85:51]
B
Okay, all right. Quite the assumption.
- [85:56]
F
I assumed I could sing, too, by the way. And then I got down. They took me down to Nashville, and they had me singing man of Constant Sorrow in the. Literally. In a recording studio.
- [86:06]
B
Yeah.
- [86:07]
F
And I sing it, like, all out, you know, and I finish, and I look up, and no one will look me in the eye. You know, they're all looking down like.
- [86:14]
B
Oh, man, we're gonna have to.
- [86:18]
F
Let's play it back for you, George. They're hoping. And it just sounded like a cat caught in the wheel well of a car. You know, it was so bad, so humiliating, waiting. So then they brought another guy and they dubbed me. But you know, those guys. I mean, some of their movies are just. Some of the best films. I mean, Raising Arizona, you know, from early on, they were just good film talented.
- [86:40]
B
I don't know.
- [86:41]
F
They.
- [86:41]
A
They kind of.
- [86:41]
F
They're not. They haven't been working together as much right now, but if they get something back together, I'll do it.
- [86:46]
B
I.
- [86:46]
F
You know, if they call, I'll go. I've never. I think I've done five films with them. They're fun to work with.
- [86:51]
B
Yeah, absolutely.
- [86:52]
A
We got one last segment here for you, George, man. We know you're on a tight schedule, brother.
- [86:57]
F
Baby, I'm ready. Come on.
- [86:58]
A
We. We appreciate the time, but Last segment, we gotta ask, but you don't have to answer. You can tell us to kick rocks or you can have some fun with us in the question.
- [87:06]
F
Ask them away, man. Whatever you got.
- [87:08]
A
You claim that you and your wife haven't got in a fight in 10 years?
- [87:11]
F
That's right.
- [87:11]
A
Are you lying?
- [87:13]
F
No, I'm not lying. Travis, shall we ask you the same questions?
- [87:21]
B
Well, it's only been two and a half years, and you're right, I haven't.
- [87:24]
A
Gotten an argument into that.
- [87:27]
B
All right.
- [87:27]
A
Never once.
- [87:28]
F
Honestly. You know, neither of us are going to win the argument, so why get in it?
- [87:32]
B
There we go.
- [87:32]
A
There you go.
- [87:33]
B
That's a smart man right there. What's the secret? Just not just staying out of the argument altogether.
- [87:38]
F
Dude, I'm 64 years old, and what am I going to argue about at this Point. You know, I'm like, yeah, you know, I met this incredible woman that, you know, is, you know, she, she's beautiful and smart, and she stands for all the most important things that I believe in in the world. And I, I, I can't believe how lucky I am. So what am I gonna fight about? You know, I like.
- [88:00]
B
It's a great answer, you know.
- [88:01]
A
Damn, that's a good one.
- [88:02]
F
Too late to do it. Yeah, you can use that if you want.
- [88:06]
A
I'm just, I, I'm just taking notes this whole, this whole time, big guy. You don't even know.
- [88:11]
F
Exactly. Come on, bring me another one. What else you got?
- [88:14]
A
Come on, Trev as Batman, where do you rank? Jason as fat Batman? Do we have the, the picture form that?
- [88:22]
F
Oh, nice. I think I remember that picture coming out.
- [88:27]
B
Oh, gosh. You know, very unfortunate. You can see this.
- [88:31]
F
You could be one of the, one of the bad guys in the film, by the way. You and I, all, both of you. And I know that I was the best Batman. You know that, right?
- [88:40]
B
Absolutely.
- [88:41]
F
There's no argue.
- [88:42]
B
Best.
- [88:42]
F
I mean, Ben Affleck, Come on.
- [88:46]
B
I mean, I put.
- [88:49]
F
This is where that comes.
- [88:51]
A
There it is. Yeah.
- [88:51]
B
This is where that competitiveness comes in. Yeah.
- [88:55]
F
You know, I'm the only one who had rubber nipples.
- [88:57]
B
You have rubber nipples.
- [89:01]
A
Rubber nipples right there. That didn't come through enough on the suit.
- [89:06]
F
Yeah, yeah, it did. He, he. When it got colder, it was like two Dunlap tires going out.
- [89:15]
B
All right. Is it true that you once stole Bill Clinton's stationery and wrote a fake note to actors saying president? All right, go ahead.
- [89:25]
F
Jimmy Kimmel gave me a stack of stationery with a presidential seal and Bill Clinton's name on it.
- [89:31]
B
All right?
- [89:32]
F
And I would send notes to all these actors from Bill Clinton. I'd sign it, like. And I'd find a movie that wasn't a great film of theirs, and I'd be like, I love you in this film. And I'd write these notes and I'd.
- [89:44]
B
It send.
- [89:44]
C
Send them.
- [89:44]
F
I send to, like, 30 different actors. I guarantee you some of them are framed on some of their own.
- [89:49]
B
Oh, my gosh. They don't even know. They still don't know.
- [89:53]
A
Good.
- [89:54]
B
That is amazing. They.
- [89:55]
F
Now they know.
- [89:56]
B
Now they know. Oh, my gosh. Holy crap.
- [90:01]
F
By the way, I did that. I do that a lot. Like, I have. I had Brad Pitt stationary.
- [90:07]
B
Yeah.
- [90:07]
F
And I sent, you know, I told a couple of people this before, but I. Brad Pitt stationary that Kimmel gave me again. And I sent Somebody had sent me this. This book of.
- [90:18]
B
Of.
- [90:18]
F
Of dialects, like CDs, where you could do an Irish accent or you could do a French accent. There's a guy who teaches it.
- [90:25]
B
And I had this big book.
- [90:26]
F
I don't know why I had somebody send it to me. And so I take a note with Brad Pitt, and I send it to Meryl Streep. And I go, dear Meryl from Brad.
- [90:36]
B
Yeah.
- [90:36]
F
I go, this guy helped me in my accent in the movie Troy. And I thought maybe you could use it. And I sent her this book of.
- [90:46]
B
Accents from Brad Pitt.
- [90:53]
F
It's so awful. Like, four years later.
- [91:01]
B
I see her.
- [91:02]
F
And I tell the story. Yeah, he knows. Now, four years later, I see Meryl and I tell her the story. And she's like, oh, my God. I was wondering why the fuck he's sending me.
- [91:16]
B
So epic. That is epic.
- [91:18]
F
We've done a lot of terrible things to each other. He's done terrible things to me, man. So it all comes out.
- [91:22]
B
It all evens out.
- [91:24]
A
That's so good, man. Well, speaking of Brad, he told us a story when he was on New Heights not too long ago about how he. He ate so many beans during. During a scene, right before a scene, that he. Or during the scene. I'm sorry, he ended up. Yeah, clearing the set.
- [91:39]
F
He cleared the set?
- [91:40]
A
Yeah. He cleared the set for what? He said, what's your, like, worst moment on set?
- [91:44]
F
I think right now, just. Exact moment. I don't think. I don't think I can sink to a note, new or low. I can think. You know, I'll tell you some of my worst moments. I said, I remember when we. So, like, you know, when you're a younger actor, you get a movie and you think it's going to be great. And I remember being on the set of. Of Batman and Robin, which is famously one of the worst films of all time. And I'm terrible in it. And I remember there was, like, the director would, you know, I'm laying in a. You're in a rubber cowl, and you can't move because it weighs, like, 75 pounds. And you're, like, tucked down, and you're on a board laying down like this, and you're waiting for action. And the director, Schumacher, is like, going, okay, here we go. And your parents are dead. You have nothing to live for. And action. And then they drop me up. I'm Batman. And they go, cut. And then I drop you back down. And I remember thinking, you know, I was so excited to get the part, and Then I realized I was the worst thing in the movie. So it was, it was a pretty humiliating time overall.
- [92:58]
B
Oh, my goodness.
- [92:59]
F
It was humiliated.
- [93:00]
A
Greatest Batman of all time. Can't tell me any different, dude.
- [93:03]
F
I'm telling you, Best Batman ever. Come on. Michael Keaton's got nothing on.
- [93:12]
B
Well, you talking, speaking off of that moment, do you have a welcome to Hollywood moment? We ask a lot of our guests. It could be good or bad. Like, you're kind of like, first moment where you're like, man, I'm, I'm in it. I'm in Hollywood. Hollywood.
- [93:25]
F
Oh, I don't know. I have to think about that. Like, Yeah, I mean, like, I remember meeting Paul Newman, you know, and it's like, you know, I grown up with him, right? I'd seen him in. At the Drive in theater in Maysville, Kentucky, and, like, you know, Butch Cassie, the Sundance Kid and all this.
- [93:42]
A
Holy.
- [93:43]
F
And then, like, I, I remember being on the lot at Warner Brothers, driving, going by on a golf cart, and there was Paul new. And I stopped, I go, hey. And he goes, hey, man. And he came over and he had a beer and a cigarette, and he goes, you want a beer? And I was like, yeah, turning that down. And I, I, I was still working, by the way. And I was like, yeah, I'll take a. And I just wanted to drink a beer with Paul Newman. And I, I, I sat there for like an hour and a half outside the sound stage with him, just talking. And I remember going home thinking, dude, I just, I just hung with Paul Newman, man. It was like. I remember that being like, you know, there was that era of actual proper movie stars. You know, Gregory Peck and I became friends. There's like that thing where you go, these guys are. They are actually bigger than life. And it was, it was a real thrill, you know, his eyes are bluer in person than they were on screen. You know. It was really something.
- [94:41]
A
Well, you know, man, I appreciate it you for being the coolest guy in the goddamn world, man. We had a whole lot of fun reaching your new low on new heights. And we, we can't say enough good about you. And everybody go and see Jay Kelly coming out on Netflix here soon. And, man, can't thank you enough for your time, brother. You're the best.
- [95:07]

F
Oh, you hurt me. One last shot to the chest.
- [95:20]
B

- [95:27]
A
Yeah.
- [95:28]
B
Way out of our league in many ways. In many ways.
- [95:31]
A
We recorded that a while ago and I'm still thinking about how I could have, you know, came off cooler to George or came like tried to do something to bring something to that conversation and. But George just took it away. I. I was in shock the whole time.
- [95:46]
B
So good looking and charismatic and it was glowing. It's.
- [95:50]
A
Why did he. Did they. Does they have better lighting than us? Why does he. Why was he glowing like that?
- [95:56]
B
I think he's just. It's his aura.
- [95:58]
A
He just walks around with a glow.
- [96:00]
B
I think whatever his spirit is inside of him, it's manifesting in ways that mine just doesn't have the ability to do.
- [96:09]
A
Yeah. Well, if you want to see him glow, go ahead and watch Jay Kelly. You'll see him glow the whole. The whole movie.

A
More of a Jason Kelsey. You know how little confidence I had more in college.
- [98:33]
B
That was more. Once I kind of built up more bigger self esteem.
