Uh Cincinnati. >> Ah. >> football. >> Ah. >> hasn't been our our year. These past. three games really uh really. took a turn for the worse, boys, but uh. yeah. We're bowl eligible, so go go have. some fun with the gang.

and uh whatever bowl you end up in. >> What was your favorite non-big bowl game. you went to? My favorite bowl, low-key, which one? Still to this day. You didn't get to go. International. Bowl. It was in Toronto, Canada. >> Well, yes, cuz you went to [ __ ]. Toronto. >> We went to Toronto. I was still not 21. and the legal age for everything there. was 18. And we just It's convenient. Had. a [ __ ] blast. >> That's real nice. >> It was great. >> What gifts you get at the old. International Bowl? >> I had a duffel bag that was leather that.

I had for forever. I still might have. it. It was a great duffel bag. >> Another duffel bag. >> Had a nice little maple leaf on the. front of it. >> Ooh, I do remember seeing that one. That. one was That was one of the best. >> good duffel. It was a good duffel. Let's. get back into what we're here for and. that's the uh podcast. I'm Travis Kelce, this is my big brother Jason Kelce out. of Cleveland Heights, Ohio like we. already said and this is my my brother. being a militia member. >> That's right. >> Jason got up to New England this past uh. Monday. >> Yeah, they uh taught me how to fire a. 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. >> Yeah. >> 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. Everybody's like, "No, it fired. It. fired." I'm pretty sure it didn't fire. >> This is hilarious. >> I was so excited. I mean I still was. >> a little [ __ ] stiff. Jesus. >> Well, I was trying to be milita-. militaristic in my stance. >> Is that a real word? Yeah, yours didn't. fire.

>> Yeah, but if you look where the pan is. by my face, like that's where the. gunpowder is at 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. >> Would hate to have that happen when. you're in the line of fire. >> No doubt. No doubt. >> [ __ ] one of those. >> dag on red coats across from you and. then you trying to [ __ ] put one right. between his eyes. I don't know what I'm. talking about.

>> [gasps]. >> Trav, we need to go road bowling. >> Road bowling? >> So, road bowling is a sport in Ireland. It's old as [ __ ] where they take what. used to be a cannonball. Now, it's a 28. oz piece of iron ball and you roll it. down the 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. >> I'm following. I'm following. >> And there's a lot of Irish guys that. yell things that you don't really fully.

understand, but it's electric as [ __ ]. 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 throw a. [ __ ]. piece of metal down the road and then. it'll get lost in the leaves and they. bring out the magnets and they try and. find it with the magnets. >> Hilarious. >> Dude, it was [ __ ] a blast. It was so. fun. >> thrower, underhand thrower, sidearm? >> Everybody throws underhand. It's. probably too hard to throw overhand and. do it accurately. >> get the You just don't get the same. spin. You want the spin to.

>> I think it's more than it's. >> spin. You don't want back spin. >> I think if you saw the heaviness of this. thing, you would understand why Here we. go. That was a really shitty throw. It went. straight to. >> that look That look like it was a hard. throw. >> good throw. This dude right here, Shawn, he was my partner. [ __ ] awesome dude. Some of these guys like styles for. throwing. Dude, watch this guy, DARREN. WATCH THIS. DUDE, THEY GET INTO IT, MAN. [ __ ]. FULL EXTENSION. >> The crow hop into the skip. >> Bro, I my I got to get my form way.

better. It was not impressive. >> That Are you even a [ __ ] athlete, Jason? >> Dude, it was It was wet. It was slick. These guys are impressive. >> You got to play off the ground. That was a better roll. You got your. right hip through. That's a big part of. it. >> I won one of them and lost another one. >> You won You won of them? See. >> I think they kind of rigged the second. one. That The guy They put a put a guy. up against me. I was like, "Okay, this. guy's. They put a child up against He might. have went to the bar before we came out. >> He's seeing a fork in the road. He's. like, "I don't know which way to throw. this thing.". >> We went [laughter] to.

Dude, my guy, Connie, he 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, HE'D BE LIKE, >> [screaming]. [laughter]. >> HILARIOUS. >> ELECTRIC, BRO. NOW, I THINK THAT WAS. HALF THE reason the sport sport was fun. I don't even know if I want to go. without Connie at this point. >> Yeah, no, it sounds like you you need. the environment. >> And then we went to this amazing pub, uh. the Irish uh 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 uh D-line moves. Check this out. >> He has no idea what just happened. The. push-pull is a shocking move. >> He still didn't really have it down. >> Because you did it right. When you do it. right, the push-pull is like, "What the. [ __ ] JUST HAPPENED?". >> [laughter]. >> AND THAT'S WHAT THEY THAT'S WHAT YOU.

just did to that kid. That kid just had. was like, "Holy [ __ ] ninja just put his. hands on me.". >> Hold on, I'm going to send another one. Check out this guy singing. >> When the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking, too. On these dark mornings, as I walk out, my thoughts will be of. you. So gracious, hold me [singing] in your arms, [screaming]. and let this moment linger.

They'll take me out at dawn, and I. will die. With all [screaming] my love, I'll place this wedding ring [singing]. upon your finger. >> Now, that's a bar. 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 the song. The only. Irish song that I really know is one. that I sing to the girls. It's from. Ballad of Buster Scruggs. >> Tell me it. >> Oh, you want to hear it?

>> Yeah. >> Um. >> [clears throat]. >> As I was a-walking down by the lock. >> Going into a character here. >> As I was a-walking. one morning of late. Okay. [snorts] Who should I spy but my. own dear comrade. wrapped up in flannel. So hard is his fate. I boldly stepped up to.

and kindly did ask him, "Why are you wrapped in flannel 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.". >> I know. >> "Get six pretty maidens. to carry my coffin. Six pretty maidens to bear up my pall.

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 would leave. >> [laughter]. >> Dude, that left me speechless, Jason. When the [ __ ] did you ever learn that? >> I like singing to the girls at bedtime. I'm I'm a big fan of. telling stories. Here's the thing, there.

are so many [ __ ] kids books. and I'm going to be honest. >> Tell me it. Tell me your honest opinion. of them. >> Here's the honest opinion. Every rundown schmuck with a [ __ ]. typewriter can make a children's book. these days, and I don't think that. everybody should be having children's. books. >> Right. Yeah. >> I'm 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 [ __ ] pink cupcakes. I. don't need the [ __ ]. You know, I.

Give me the caterpillar book. I like the. caterpillar book when I was growing up. >> yeah. >> What is it, Carl or whatever? I'm I'm. out on a lot of the newer children's. books. What you're doing when you're. reading kids' books is you're brain. you're you're hard wiring the software. upstairs, right? >> Okay. >> 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 the sheep eaten because he.

couldn't [ __ ] you know, tell the. truth. >> sh- Yeah. >> Yeah, right? >> Get anyone to believe him, yeah. >> So, a lot of times I just end up telling. those stories. or I make stories up that are off of. those old stories. >> Ha-ha, damn, if we had a recorder for. those ones, man. [ __ ]. >> Dude, one one night cuz they'll tell me. sometimes they'll tell me sometimes the. girls will tell me they want um. like one of their stuffed animals in the. story. >> Uh-huh. >> or like they want to be in the story. themselves. >> Yeah. >> And I'm like, "All right, I'm about to. do Pinocchio." And Ellie's like, "Oh,

put. uh I forget what stuffed animal it was. Put Put Slothy in the uh video." Or put. Slothy in the story. I was like, "Okay.". One night, Ellie wished upon a star. And Slothy. >> came to life. And her eyes went just. >> [laughter]. >> And she didn't move. And she's just holding THE STUFFED. ANIMAL. >> [laughter]. >> AND I GOT THROUGH THE THE. >> [laughter].

>> I HAD LIKE A JIMINY THE CRICKET UH. figurine a whole 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 [laughter]. >> This is so good. Kylie was furious. She's like, "What the [ __ ] is wrong with. you?". >> She said, "Put her in the story.". >> So anyways, while I do that, I also if I. hear a a tune or a song that I like, I I. like to sing. >> remember those?

>> Those, yeah. >> Nice. Well, you're a great dad for that. That's awesome stuff. >> Should we start the podcast yet? >> I'm just going to leave it like this. I'm not cutting a goddamn word out. It's. going to be [laughter]. We're going free form this week, folks. Is there structure? Not really. >> Subscribe on YouTube, Wondery Plus, wherever you get your podcast, and. follow the show on all social media at. New Heights Show with one S for fun. clips throughout the week. Jason, why. don't you tell everybody what we. actually have coming up on the show? >> All righty, we've been talking for over. an hour and a half already, but coming. up on this episode, 92%ers, you're going.

to 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 TODAY. >> WHAT? >> HOW ABOUT THAT? >> George Clooney? >> Going to be three Bearcats on this. podcast later. >> [laughter]. >> Little do they know. >> him. We claim him. >> We're claiming him. Are you kidding? I. don't care if it's for a week and he. dropped out. >> care if he just got accepted, but he. didn't ever took a class. He's a HE'S A. BEARCAT. >> [laughter].

>> 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. >> NEW NEWS IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY XFINITY. >> NICE. >> 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 it went. It. was a tight ring. Initially, it was like. if you just stepped outside the ring you. lost. >> be belly bucking rules somewhere online. >> So, the ring was tight. >> [laughter]. >> Initially, it was like if you just take. one step out, we're going to end the. match. But, it was people were taking. steps out all over We Ultimately, it was. like, "Okay, if you get two feet out of. this thing completely, then the round's. over.". >> Man, I feel bad for anybody that lost. with one foot out. >> Nobody lost with one foot. >> out. >> That's what it was. It was very apparent. from the first one. It was like, "Okay, we can't do that." It became apparent. who won each time. And No Shirt Dom, he.

had a nice side step. 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. >> Attaboy. >> And 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. >> OH. >> YEAH. ANDREW Whitworth stopping by. >> Nice. Guy once had a belly, no belly. anymore. >> That's true. Well, yeah. That's He's. still barrel-chested like a [ __ ].

though. >> [laughter]. >> 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%ers that asked some. no dumb questions. I think I would redo. the no dumb questions, Brandon. For our. next iteration of tailgating or 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 we want to ask. >> We put them on the spot. Where they.

don't get to think about this. >> how many holes a straw has and I'll tell. you why you're a [ __ ] idiot. >> [laughter]. >> Note taken. >> But, the 92%ers are great. >> Wow, you actually have a notepad? >> Intern Brandon is always working. >> Better than I. Everything I came with a computer. I. don't have a notepad. I want a notepad. Oh, I got a computer. There you go. You just write it down. >> Why would I do a notepad when I have. this? >> Jason, you got you got a you got a. little bit of the belly bucking in. there. You want to tell everybody what. the. >> Why was I I'm not going to 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. Little belly on belly. Me. and No Shirt Dom. 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. bucking. 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. >> There wasn't much thrust in there. >> But it was fun. I think that helmet was. barely. was cutting off the circulation to my. brain.

>> [clears throat]. >> Yeah. All right. Well, fun. What did you. What did you What did you think was the. uh. the technique of the uh the bucking? 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. thrust. Was it more just like a. bulldozer deal or were was were guys. trying to get leverage? >> Well, that's what I kind of mean. I I. feel like when you went you if you would. have gone back to then thrust, and that. person stayed into you, 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 pushing. >> buck. You got to buck. >> I'm kind of with you. >> See, you got to you got to lay down the. >> how to enforce that though, Travis. >> down the law. >> I don't know how to enforce it. >> If you're not thrusting, you're a. gusting. >> You got to thrust. >> Let's see it. >> Yeah, let's see it. >> Ooh, there's the There's a There's a. buck. >> My man. My man. MY MAN IN THERE. >> SEE, this is why you need to grab. >> Brandon was trying there. He was trying. to buck. >> You got to grab those holsters. You got. to put hands in the pocket. >> Yep. Yep. >> I get why the original video showed a.

lot of that. >> Yeah, that's good technique though by. Dom. That's good. >> He's using shoulders. That's why I like hands behind the back. >> Well, you can still shoulder with your. hands behind your back. >> Yeah, but you can't like [ __ ] keep. them right here. >> You can't like roll it. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, I see what you're saying. It's a. good point. >> 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 it, man? It's. December. Um we're and we're supporting. an organization that is incredibly close.

to our hearts. That's right. Operation. Breakthrough in Kansas City is one. organization that I've been a huge fan. of and huge supporter of uh since I've. been in Kansas City. >> 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. >> 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 uh an. actual school, but it has after-school. care for the kids. Um and during this. after-school care, they get. opportunities to learn and uh these.

extracurricular activities that they get. to kind of latch on to. And um 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 uh they can go down and uh. and really experience and and latch on. to and see if they love them. And and. 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 you know, have Amazon team up with them as well as.

uh New Heights. >> 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. Uh I mean, I've been to like the car. show before. Uh Kelsey Car Jam, which I've Operation. Breakthrough is a part of that as well. Um, but recently they're converting an. old pickup truck to electric. The. students and the faculty there at. MindDrive and in Operation Breakthrough. >> Oh, yeah. >> converting an entire vehicle to electric. diesel hybrid, I think. >> it's a hybrid. You Yeah, I was going to.

see if you even knew this. So, actually. it's going to 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. Uh, which is [ __ ] it's a lot of bing bing. bing bing bing bing going on in my mind, but these kids and and the the the the. adults that are helping and and trying. to guide them. Yeah, shout out to Oz and. every 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 just overall support. 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 and if. you'd like to join us, Amazon has made. it easy. Go to amazon.com/holidaygiving. You'll find a curated list of items that. Operation Breakthrough and other. charities need. Every single item you. purchase ships directly to that charity. Again, that's visit. amazon.com/holidaygiving. to learn more and make your. contribution. Thank you for being a part. of this with us. >> 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, is this week 13. already? Man. >> NFL season, >> flying by. Week 13 in the NFL. Trav, let's start with the. the one game that everybody was tuned. into this Thanksgiving. I think it set. probably. like it had to set records of viewership. numbers, right? >> Yeah, for sure Yeah, every holiday game. seems to break every past record, so. >> Well, um Chiefs 28, Cowboys 31. It was a great. game, a fun game to watch. I know it did.

not turn out in the Chiefs favor. Yeah, it was a tough loss. What are your thoughts? What are your. thoughts about the game? >> You know, um. 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 seed in my mind. Um and maybe. that's a bit extreme, maybe it's, you. know, >> I mean, all of the losses are all of the. losses are within one score. >> 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. Um I know some of the other stats aren't. all the way up there, but at the same. time, man, we're holding teams at the right. moments. Um and and you know, and and in in other. situations, we're just not scoring. enough. And. um. it's tough, man. It's tough to be a part. of this reality right now cuz we're six. and six and we're fighting for our lives. to, you know, find a way into the. playoffs. And um. what's real is that we still have a. chance, baby. And that's all that [ __ ] matters to.

me is that we got a chance and I'm going. to keep coming into work with the the. mentality that. and a sense of urgency that we need to. have to get this [ __ ] fixed and and and. turn those handful of plays that are. losing us the game into handful of plays. that win us these games, man. >> 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 a 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. And there's only like one other team in. the history of the NFL that's done that. It's nuts. I don't know what it is. I'd. 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 every. everybody's had their up games. Everybody's had their down games. Who is. the complete team? I 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. Cuz at the end of the. 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, 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 tickling of. the tonsils, obviously. That's a. >> Nice alliteration, man.

>> [laughter]. >> Is this a Have you heard Andy say. tickling tonsils before? >> Never heard him say that one. Nope, that's a new one. He's got a bunch of. bangers in his pocket though, man. He's. got so many, and he's been doing this. for so long, man. He knows which ones. really. >> The right one to pull out. >> Exactly. Uh and that's some of the That's the fun. in which you get playing for him. >> I've never heard Andy rip it like that. I loved it. I'm fired up. >> 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. >> Talk nasty to me, Timmy coach. Come on, let's go. This is what I This is now This is my. kind of football, bros. Let's go. This is how the coaches talked in high. school.

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. Texans four-game win streak coming. into this one. The last time you played. Houston and was in 2025 in the division. around. It's going to be about 20° at. kickoff. >> It's my kind of football, baby. >> Dude, I love when the cold weather sets. in. >> kind of football, especially after a. weekend of rest. >> Yeah. >> Go out there, fly around on the ice,

No, I Well, that's because you. weren't RUNNING THAT MUCH. >> [laughter]. >> YOU CAN STILL GET VERY TIRED running in. the cold. Yeah. It hits those lungs a.

>> Moving on to some Eagles-Bears on Black. Friday. >> Yeah, that was that was a tough one as. well for all those 92%ers assuming. everyone is is cheering for our teams. Uh, Eagles 15, Bears 24. The Bears are. rocking and rolling, man. They are The. Bears are rocking and rolling, man. Ben. Johnson's got those guys fighting and. and playing good football and. >> Taking his shirt off in the locker room. >> How about it, man? The guys are going. [ __ ] nuts. Golly, man. Those guys are. fighting for their 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 him, man. It's a hard thing to [ __ ] do and. there's a special like madness to it. that that you have to be great at and. some guys got it. Um and right now he. does, man. >> Listen, and we've had it 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. Uh 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 we're eight and. four, 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. Um. but you can tell, man, they they want to. get this thing figured out and. everybody's frustrated um and. you know, the good thing is we've put. ourselves in a situation where we're. being eight and four.

like all we got to do is just keep. [ __ ] 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. >> Yeah. >> Uh the offensive line is starting to get. some continuity and playing together. They're going to be healthy. >> man. Yeah. That's tough. >> Lane Johnson coming back will be huge. even though Fred uh 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 cuz 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. Uh how great Saquon Barkley is, how. great Jeff Stoutland is. It's it's been. frustrating to watch, to be honest with. you. Uh but I do think it's getting. closer. And I think once that thing gets. going, if there's a positive to take. away, AJ Brown starting to get the ball. in the receiving in 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. Um but it's very apparent. that they're making a concerted effort. to get players moving in different areas. and not being as stagnant uh. in the area in which these guys are. running routes, I guess, if that makes. sense. >> No, 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 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. Um 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 a offense. >> That was one thing that really stood out. with uh the Bears. I will say. I mean, Ben Johnson and how he utilizes the. motions and and guys moving around. You. He's just so good at it. >> Yeah. And they got a lot of good tight. ends over there, man. So, and and and a. good run game. >> And that's where like I. the defense obviously gave up a lot of. yards on the ground. They're They're off. a lot The Bears off 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. We just got to. improve in some of those areas. But, I wasn't pressed. I mean, like. For instance, like they they motioned a. uh 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, Reed's 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, they do a great job of. manipulating the gaps, manipulating the. tight end movement, uh doing the boots, and like really. trying to mess around with guys' rules. and uh responsibilities in the run game,

especially. All in all, again, similar. to the AFC, I I like. 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 Ravens. 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 shi- 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 The Rams were thought to be the. most. >> team in football. All of a sudden they. lose to the they drop on the Charlotte. So, uh Carolina? >> Yeah, so I mean same team. Yeah. Um. Carolina is another sneaky one, man. They they can they can put together a.

game. >> It just feels like. more than ever the NFL's wide open. Listen, we're eight and four, 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 the. passing game stuff like that. I want to. see Saquon Barkley running through the. [ __ ] line untouched all the way to. the end zone. That's what I want to see. >> Using those say quads to just [ __ ]. >> Come on. 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. >> I hear you, man. 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. seven teams in NFC and just look at the. fact that the one seed has nine wins, the seven seed has nine wins. I think if. Chicago loses next week to the Packers, they drop from one to seven. Like that's. how [ __ ] insane this season is. >> It really is. Where's it at? >> It was just a little later. Scroll on. down. >> Can we just use what you just said?

>> You can. I don't like to have yeah, too. much on here. >> little a little bit. Yeah. I think it's fine when you just. >> You like the stash? >> I do. >> You like the stash? You want to do it? Okay. >> Very Bert. It's very Bertie. It's either. Bert Reynolds or Mario. >> [laughter]. >> Super Mario. >> Yeah. >> Okay, I'll take Bert Reynolds I think of. the two. >> [laughter]. >> What is this Snapchat DM? >> You want to read those? Eagles fans. having a melt. >> of funny. That's what I was. >> are breaking up over over the Eagles. Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah, read that. Go ahead. >> All right. So, apparently Eagles fans.

are breaking up over the Eagles. >> Yeah. >> And a little Snapchat DM here from uh. 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. [ __ ] the 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. I love the superstitious. nurse here. >> Till the season's over? >> 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. >> Sure. Yeah, I mean. >> Or he replied. >> Lol, I mean sure for the birds. Way to. go Eagles fans. That's how you freaking. date responsibly. >> Did Kylie watch all the Eagles game this. time? >> We were at the Eagles game and we were. watching. Yes. She's going to have to. start turning her back. >> Kai. >> You're right. >> You got to you got to buy in, Kai. You. got to buy in. >> We need everything we can. >> Everybody needs everything they can. The. table's wide open. Well, I'd say we get.

out of these two games and get to the. rest of the league. >> Let's do it. >> We got a big week for [ __ ] talking. That's right. A lot of [ __ ] 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. Jeffery Simmons claims that Jaguars. rookie running back. Laquon Allen Jr. Told him to suck his. dick in the middle of the game. >> No.

>> Yeah, Jeffery. >> Seems pretty standard trash talk to me. Like I think I feel like I've heard that. a bunch. Just saying. Like I don't. >> No, for sure. >> Suck my dick [ __ ] Like I I feel. like I hear that every game. I don't. think that's [laughter]. What are we all of a sudden upset about? >> Yeah. >> Jeffery Simmons is a guy that gets very. upset in games. He's an angry football. player, which I like angry football. players. >> 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. >> Yeah. No, >> I looked over I was like, "What the. fuck?" He was like, "What?" I was like,

"SUCK MY DICK.". >> [laughter]. >> I'M KIDDING. I DON'T TALK LIKE THAT ON. THE FOOTBALL FIELD. I'm a fine. gentleman. I'm a very nice man. Yeah. Um, Tennessee player also claims that. Jacksonville punter Logan Cook. uh threatened to kill him. >> [laughter]. >> Which. >> What some of all these Tennessee players. snitching? What are we doing, guys? >> Yeah, I also Jax players, man. You guys. are [ __ ] doing it right. You guys are. in their head.

You're in the head of the opponent. across from you. >> it, Jacksonville. >> up a notch. Taking it up a notch. Tell. him how you'd kill him. >> If it gets him out of his game. Cuz you're not being serious. You're not. going to actually kill him. >> 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 [ __ ]. >> No way. I've never thought that about a. punter. >> No? >> Logan a punter saying they're going to. kill him? Like I would I would do. nothing to me.

>> [laughter]. >> I'll [ __ ] break your neck right now. You realize I can kill you with my bare. hands. I don't even NEED A WEAPON. >> [laughter]. >> MCAFEE'S going to [ __ ] beat your ass. >> I would not want to fight McAfee. McAfee's a squirrely son of a [ __ ]. You're right. McAfee would be one guy. Who else wouldn't I want to fight? Um, Sebastian Janikowski. >> Janikowski. That's [laughter] what I was. going to say. You just. You don't want to fight him cuz you just. want to have a few beers with him. >> Yeah, but 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. >> He's going to. Steven Seagal [ __ ]. Imagine if that hit your neck, what. that'd do to you. >> Listen, I 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. >> all fair game? >> Yeah. If somebody says I'm going to. [ __ ] kill you, I'd be like, well, 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'VE NEVER HEARD SOMEBODY SAY I'LL.

[ __ ] KILL you and be like, this guy. just threatened my life. I'm going to. 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. >> HE TOLD ME TO PUT HIS DICK IN MY. >> HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. >> He told me to put his dick in my mouth. >> He said, get this, he told me. >> [laughter]. >> to S his D. I think that should be a 15-year. penalty, sir. >> [laughter].

>> S his D. >> I just. I don't know. Maybe maybe the. in my two years removed from the NFL, talking [ __ ] to people is all of the. 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 DICK. [laughter]. LIKE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING. >> I will tickle your tonsils. >> [laughter]. >> Suck my D, yeah. You'd like to tickle my. tonsils, wouldn't you?

>> [laughter]. >> Maybe the biggest non-NFL football news, um, taking [clears throat] it to the college. ranks. Ole Miss' Lane Kiffin finally. took the head coaching job at LSU after. weeks and literally just like one 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, you know, this is. the style of football that we need to be. playing. And I get it if you're Lane. 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.

Old Miss is going to go into college. football with someone's dad as a [ __ ]. 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. Old 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 [ __ ] Sugar Bowl with like guys'. dads helping with personnel on the.

sidelines. >> I don't remember that. >> Really? >> Dude, what? >> Who else did we have? We had [ __ ]. like GAs like helping. >> No, we had everybody other than BK. We. had everybody other than BK stayed for. the game. Right? There might have been one other. person that went with BK, but. >> Oh, you know what? I'm thinking of when. Butch left. >> Yeah. >> When When Coach Jones Oh, Andre, yeah. When Coach Jones left, we had literally. guys Well, that wasn't the Sugar Bowl. That was the Old Bell Bowl and we found. a way to fire out there.

But, we had like [ __ ] GAs being, you. know, the the main the lead coaches and. whatnot. It's just it's it's a. [ __ ] and it's definitely putting. the team and the players at a. disadvantage when you don't have, you. know, your head coach or like your. offensive coordinator, defensive. coordinator, things like that. >> Yeah. I mean, it sucks. We've been. through it obviously with Brian Kelly. and Butch Jones where you went through. with Butch, I went through with Brian. with and Mark D'Antonio where we played. bowl games with interim coaches cuz. 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 Old Miss happening. to for all of the sudden everybody to. realize how [ __ ] it up it is. Like. nobody gave a [ __ ] like, "Oh, yeah, of. course Brian Kelly went to Notre Dame. He left Cincinnati." Like of course that. happened. All of the sudden Lane Kiffin. does it to Old Miss and they're like, "OH, THIS IS AN OUTRAGE. HOW COULD HE DO. THIS TO US?" PLAYERS LIKE, THIS [ __ ]. HAPPENED TO ME TWICE AND NOBODY GAVE A. [ __ ] ABOUT [laughter] 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. >> That's so crazy, dude. >> So, 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 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 Kiffin 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 it sucks for. Ole Miss. I'm kind of I'm lying. I do. feel bad for Ole Miss cuz I went through. it myself with Brian Kelly at Notre. Dame. It just sucks. And it's not fun, you know? You and you work so hard as a. team and as a group of men and kids uh.

to get to that point. And you know, it's. it's a deflating moment for what should. be a joyous time for everyone in that. building. >> Yeah, and at the university, man. Yeah. >> And you know, we were undefeated, our. best year uh that we've ever had at. Cincinnati to that date. >> We were. a. I think it was 2 seconds or 3 seconds. away from going to the national. championship. >> Yeah, if Nebraska would have found out a. way to beat Texas and Ndamukong Suh, if.

he would have got to the quarterback one. more time, we might have been. >> down to uh to a roll out. We call it a. heave-ho in uh in our building, but it's. a play where you try and roll out and. you try and um exhaust the last seconds. of the game by throwing it as high and. as far out of bounds as possible. >> Yeah. >> And uh and Texas did that at the end of. the game, but they were 1 second away. from. >> giving the ball back. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, I mean it was we I think we ended. up the four seeds, so I don't know that. we would have made it anyway, but either. way we were the fourth ranked team in.

the country and uh we got our our dicks. absolutely shoved in by. uh the Florida Gators and Tim Tebow's. last game. >> so upset that that they didn't keep that. in the Florida documentary. >> I didn't see that. >> Didn't see the Florida doc? >> I still want to watch it, though. >> It's about Urban Meyer and those those. couple years those handful of years at. the that he was there at the Florida.

though. Even if you see that, why do you. do that? >> I think that leads that step just a. little too far out in front of that that. football.

I recommend that. place for everybody. >> Love it. Love it. >> Yeah, it's good fun. >> 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.

My aunt was this famous. singer named Rosemary Clooney, great. singer, and back in the '50s, and. um they kind of assumed because I had an. aunt who could sing, I think they. assumed I could sing. >> [laughter]. >> OH, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. QUITE THE ASSUMPTION. >> [laughter]. >> I ASSUMED I COULD SING, TOO, by the way. And then I got down. They took me down to Nashville, and they.

[laughter] know. They're all looking. down like. >> Ooh. We're going to have to. >> And they tell me, "Okay, let's play it. back for you, George." They're hoping. And it just sounded like a cat caught. [laughter] in the wheel well of a car, you know. It was so bad. It was so humiliating. So, then they brought another guy in, they dubbed me, but you know, those.

I haven't gotten in an. argument in 2 and. >> [laughter]. >> All right. Never once. >> Honestly, you know, neither of us are. going to win the argument, so why get in.

it? >> There you go. >> That's a smart man right there. >> Yeah, I. >> What's the secret? Just not just staying. out of the argument altogether? >> Dude, I'm 64 years old, and what am I. going to argue about at this point, you. know? I'm like, 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 can't. believe how lucky I am. So, what am I. going to fight about, you know? I like. >> Great answer. >> You know, I damn, that's a good one.

>> Too late to do it. >> Yeah, you can use that if you want. >> I'm stealing it for sure. I'm just I I'm. just taking notes this whole this whole. time, big guy. You don't even know. >> [laughter]. >> Exactly. Come on, bring me another one. What else you got? >> Come on, Travis. >> Uh as Batman, where do you rank Jason as. fat Batman?

Oh, NICE. >> [laughter]. >> I COULD they remember that picture. coming out. >> Oh, gosh. >> You know, >> very unfortunate that you can see this. >> You could be one of the uh one of the.

bad guys in the film. By the way, uh. you and I all both of you and I know. that I was the best Batman. You know. that, right? >> Absolutely. You're the absolute best. >> I mean, Ben Affleck? Come on. >> [laughter]. >> I MEAN, I PUT UH. YOU KNOW, I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD. THERE IT IS. THERE it. >> That's where that competitiveness comes. in.

>> THE TESTING DIDN'T COME THROUGH ENOUGH. ON THE SUIT. That is commitment right. there. That is commitment. The testing. didn't come through. >> Yeah, yeah, it did. It was When it got colder, it was like two Dunlop tires going out. >> [laughter]. >> Bad lord. >> Is it true that you once stole Bill. Clinton's stationery uh and and wrote a. fake note to actors saying, "So-and-so. President loves you." All right, I got. it. >> Jimmy Kimmel gave me a stack of. stationery with a presidential seal and. Bill Clinton's name on it. >> All right. All right.

>> 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 or there was and I'd be like, >> [laughter]. >> "You know, I loved you in this film.". And I'd write these notes and I'd send. them I sent them to like 30 different. actors. I guarantee you some of them are. framed in some of their homes. >> OH MY GOSH. >> [laughter]. >> THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW. THEY STILL DON'T. KNOW. That is amazing. >> They Now they know. >> Now they know. Oh my gosh. >> [laughter]. >> Holy crap.

>> By the way, I did that I do that a lot. Like I have I had Brad Pitt stationery. >> Yeah. >> And I sent uh. You know, I told a couple of you this. before, but I I had Brad Pitt stationery. that Kimmel gave me again. And I sent uh. somebody had sent me this this book of. of of dialects like CDs where you could. do an Irish accent or you could do a. French accent. It was a guy who teaches. it. And I had this big book. 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.". >> Yeah. >> I go, "This guy helped me in my accent. in the movie Troy. And I thought maybe [clears throat] you. could use it." And I sent her this. >> [laughter]. >> BOOK OF ACCENTS. FROM BRAD PITT. >> [laughter]. [clears throat]. >> IT'S SO AWFUL. IT'S [laughter] SO. GOOD. LIKE 4 years later I see. Like 4 years later I see her and I tell.

the story. Yeah, he knows it now. And. then 4 years later I see I see Meryl and. I tell her the story and she's like, "Oh. my god, I was wondering why the [ __ ] you. SENT ME [laughter] THIS.". SO AWFUL. >> THAT IS EPIC. THAT IS EPIC. >> WE'VE done a lot of terrible things to. each other. He's done terrible things to. me, man. So, it all comes out. >> It all evens out. >> 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 a scene.

right before a scene that he. or during the scene, I'm sorry, that he. ended up yeah, clearing the set. >> He cleared the set. >> Yeah, he cleared the set for what he. said. What's your like worst moment on. set? >> I think right now. Just this exact. moment. >> [laughter]. >> I don't think I I don't think I can sink. to a new newer low. >> [laughter]. >> I can think you know, I'll tell you some. of my worst moments on set. I remember. when we.

So, like you know, when you're younger. actor, you get a movie and you think. it's going to be great. And I remember. being on the set of uh. of Batman and Robin. >> [laughter]. >> Which is it famously one of the worst. films of all time and I'm terrible in. it. And. I remember there was like. the director with you know I'm laying in. a you're in a rubber cowl and you can't. move cuz it weighs like 75 pounds and. you're like tucked down in the you're on. a board laying down like this and you're. waiting to for action and the director.

Joel Schumacher is like going, "Okay, here we go and your parents are dead. You have nothing to live for and. action." And then THEY [laughter]. DROPPED ME. "I'M BATMAN." AND [laughter] THEY GO, "CUT." AND THEY 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 [laughter] a pretty humiliating. time as well. >> Oh my goodness. >> It was humiliating. >> Greatest Batman of all time. Can't tell.

me any different. >> Dude, I'm telling you best Batman ever. You know, come on. Michael Keaton's got nothing on him. >> [laughter]. >> Uh. well, you. talking about speaking 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 your kind of. like first moment where you're like, man, I'm I'm in it. I'm in Hollywood. >> 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 Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. and all this. And then like I I remember. being on the lot at Warner Brothers. driving going by in a golf cart and. there was Paul Newman. I stopped and I. go, "Hey." And he goes, "Hey, man." And came. over and he had a beer. and a cigarette. And he goes, "You want. a beer?" And I was like, "Yeah.". >> [laughter].

>> And I. I was still working by the way and I was. like, "Yeah, I'll take a beer." And I. just wanted to drink a beer with Paul. and I I sat there for like an hour and a. half outside the sound stage with him. just talking and I remember going home. and 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. It was 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 were bluer in person than they. were on screen, you know, it was really. something. >> Well, that's you now, brother. Exactly. That's you now, man. I appreciate 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.

still thinking about how I could have, you know, came off cooler to George or. came at like try to do something to. bring something to that conversation. But George just took it away. I didn't I. was in shock the whole time. >> So good looking and charismatic. [laughter] and. >> He was glowing. >> It's. >> Why did he I did they. they have better lighting than us? Why does he why was he glowing like. that? >> I think he's just his aura. >> He just walked around with a glow? >> I think whatever his spirit is inside of.

him, it's manifesting in ways that. mine just doesn't have. the ability to do. >> 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. >> It's an outstanding movie. It really is. Adam Sandler and him, they just the. dynamic between those two is fantastic. It's a great movie.
