•Dec 3, 20255 months agoSummary
Jason and Travis Kelce discuss NFL Week 13 action, including the Chiefs' narrow loss to the Cowboys and Eagles' defeat to the Bears, while welcoming George Clooney to discuss his new film 'Wolfs' and his Cincinnati roots. The episode covers playoff implications, college football coaching drama with Lane Kiffin's move to LSU, and various NFL storylines including trash talk between teams.
Insights
- The 2024 NFL season is historically unpredictable with the AFC wide open—even strong teams like the Chiefs are within striking distance despite being 6-6, suggesting playoff seeding will be determined by late-season execution rather than early dominance
- Coaching stability mid-season significantly impacts team performance; Lane Kiffin's departure from Ole Miss before their playoff game mirrors historical patterns where interim coaches disadvantage teams in bowl games
- Star power and charisma in entertainment operate differently than sports competition—actors don't compete directly against each other for the same role, creating fundamentally different motivational structures than athletic competition
- Parenting young children while maintaining high-profile careers requires intentional communication strategies; both Clooney and the Kelces emphasize avoiding arguments through perspective and prioritizing what matters
- Cold-weather football performance correlates with athlete comfort and mental engagement; players report feeling more athletic and less fatigued in cold conditions, suggesting environmental factors influence playoff readiness

Full Transcript
You know, we're going to do another oceans. What? You guys are doing another one? But, you know, now we're all. So it's going to be like mostly just trying not to crap yourself. 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 bucket action. I don't think Dom was ready for it. There wasn't much thrust in there. Get this. He told me to ask his D. Did you just hear him? I think that should be a 15-yard penalty, sir. Is there an interim coach? Bring Eli back. Eli. Jason, I dig you, man. You're a hall of famer. Travis, you broke me, man. You take these big, you got, you put them into that chimney in the chest. I'm remembering you telling me to put my I'm a basket. We've got myself. This is our greatest episode ever. Welcome back to New Heism, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of Wondery show brought to you by Yeti. Oh, coolers. Nice and on everything else that Yeti makes now. Oh, gotta love those. Yeah, that was nice. Where your host? I'm Travis Kelly's and my big brother, Jason Kelsey at Cincinnati University of Cincinnati, Cleveland Heights, Ohio is most of you know Cincinnati football. Has it been our year? These past three games really took a turn for the worst boys, but yeah, we're bowl eligible. So go, go have some fun with the gang and 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, because he went to fucking Toronto. We went to Toronto. I was still not 21 in the legal age for everything. There was 18 and we just. It's convenient. Had a fucking 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. Had a nice little maple leaf on the front of it. Oh, I do remember seeing that one. That one, that was what it was. It was a good duffel. It was a good duffel. Let's get back into what we're here for. And that's the podcast. I'm Travis Kelsey is my big brother, Jason Kelsey out of Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Like we already said, and this is my brother being a militia member. That's right. Jason got up to New England this past Monday. Yeah. They 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. Like this thing didn't. I don't think it fired. And everybody's like, no, I fired it fired. I'm pretty sure I didn't fire. This is hilarious. I was so excited. I mean, I still wasn't. You're a little fucking stiff. Jesus. Well, I was trying to be militia, 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 that 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. Fucking one of those. Daggone red coats across from you. And then you're 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. Road bowling. So road bowling is a sport in Ireland. It's oldest 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. 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 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. You go out there and you just throw a fucking piece of metal down the road, 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 fucking a blast. It was so fun. Were you an overhand thrower, underhand thrower, side armor? Everybody throws underhand. It's probably too hard to throw overhand and do it accurately. You just don't get the same spin. You want the spin to. I think it's more that it's. You want top spin. You don't want backspin. I think if you saw the heaviness of this thing, you would understand why. Here we go. That was a really shitty throw. I was going to say that looked like it was a hard right. This dude right here, Sean, he was my partner. Fucking awesome, dude. Some of these guys like styles for throwing. Dude, watch this guy. Darren, watch this. Dude, they get into a man. Fucking full extension. The crow hop into the skip. Bro, I got to get my form way better. It was not impressive. That in the least even a fucking half. He 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 role. 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. The guy, they put a guy up against me. I was like, okay, this guy's. They put a child. He might have went to the bar before we came out. He's seeing a fork in the road. It's like, I don't know which way to throw this thing. We went to my guy. Connie was down there every time you throw it in. 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 throwback. Fucking hilarious. It was electric. Well, 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. Yeah, no, it sounds like you need the environment. 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 move. Check this out. Yeah. 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 fuck just happened? That's what you just did to that kid. That kid just having like, holy shit, ninja just put his hands on me. I'm going to send another one. Check out this guy singing. 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 town and I will die. With all my love I'll place this wedding ring 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 and 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 Maladah Buster Scruggs. Tell me it. You want to hear it? Yeah. As I was a walking down by the lock. Going into a character here. 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 he's fate. I boldly stepped up to and kindly did asking. Why are you wrapped in flannel? So why my body is injured and sadly disordered back in her late 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. It's six pretty maidens to carry my coffin. Six pretty maidens to bear up my paw 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. Why it and then I won't leave. Dude that left me speechless. Jason when the fuck did you ever learn that? I like singing to the girls at bedtime. I'm a big fan of set telling stories. Here's the thing. There are so many fucking kids books and I'm gonna be honest. Tell me it. Tell me your honest opinion of them. 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 give me the caterpillar book. I like the caterpillar when I was growing up. The banger. 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? 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 eating because he couldn't fucking you know, tell the truth. 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. The man. If we had a recorder for those ones, man. Dude, 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. Yeah. And I'm a guy and I'm about to do Pinocchio and Ellie's like, Oh, put. I forget what stuffed animal it was. Put put Slothi in the video or put Slothi in the story. I was like, okay, one night Ellie wished upon a star and Slothi magical came to life and her eyes went just. She just holding this stuff. 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 this story, Ellie was just so terrified that she was holding this is so good. Kylie was furious. She's like, what the fuck is wrong with you? She said put her in the story. So while I do that, I also if I hear a tune or a song that I like, I like to sing. You remember 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. We're going free form this week, folks. It's not really subscribe on YouTube, Wondery Plus, wherever you get your podcast and follow the show on all social media, add 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 this show? Alrighty, 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, shit. We've also got George fucking Clooney on the show. Hey, how about that? George Clooney. You'll be three bear cats on this podcast later. Little do they know we claim them. We claim are you kidding? I don't care if it's for a week and dropped out. I don't even care if you just got accepted, but he never took a class. He's a bear cat. 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. News is brought to you by Xfinity. Oh, nice. Xfinity is bringing us new news and the first part of new news. We got a bellybucking champion. That's right. We had our first bellybucking tournament at the link this past Black Friday game 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 out of bellybucking rules somewhere online. So the ring was tight. Initially, it was like if you take one step out, we're going to end the match. Yeah, but it was people were taking steps out all the way. We ultimately was like, okay, if you get two feet out of this thing completely, then the rounds over man, I feel bad for anybody that lost with one foot out. Nobody lost with one foot out. That's the thing. It was very apparent from the first one is like, okay, we can't do that. It became apparent who won each time and no shirt Dom hit 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. That boy. And me go figure. You know, a guy that is committed to not wearing a shirt wins the bellybucking competition. He's very belly positive individual. We also had Jeffrey Laurie stopping by. Oh, yeah. Andrew Whitworth stopping by nice guy once had a belly. No belly anymore. 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%ers that ask 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 get them on the spot. Yeah, I like the idea of like, let's go in there with a pre determined kind of thing. Put them on the spot where they don't get to think about this. How many holes of straw has and I'll tell you why you're a fucking idiot. No taken but the 92%ers are great. Wow, you actually have a no pad in turn Brandon is always right at night. Everything I came with a computer. I don't have a no pad. I want to know that. Oh, I got a computer. There you go. He's right. Why would I do a notepad when I have this Jason? You got you got a you got a little bit of a bellybucking and there you want to tell everybody what the. I was I'm not going to lie. I did kind of make the bellybucking competition just so there was something that at one point I knew I would eventually get in there and get in a belly action little belly on belly me and no shirt down. So there's no shirt down right here. He was our champion. We decided to have a little friendly one. There 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 bucket action. I don't think Dom was ready for it. There wasn't much thrust in there. It was fun. Think that helmet was barely was cutting off the circulation of my brain. Yeah. All right. Well, fun. What did you what do you what did you think was the the technique of the the bucket? What was the best technique you saw because in the video that we saw there was a lot of thrusts. There was a lot of thrusts. Was it more just like a bulldozer deal or where was where guys trying to get leverage? 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 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 belly stuck to each other and then just kind of push him. You got a buck. You got a buck. I know I'm kind of with you. See, you got to you got to I don't know how to enforce that though Travis. I don't know how to enforce it. If you're not thrusting, you're a gustin. You got to thrust. Let's see it. Yeah. Let's see it. Oh, there's the there's the there's the buck. Hell, my man. My man. Get up in there. See, this is why you need to grab my man. Brandon was trying to use those. Hulsters. 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 on your back. Yeah, but you can't like fucking keep them right here. You can't like roll it. Yeah. Yeah. I see you're saying it's a good point. Finally, we're taking up with the Amazon as a part of their holiday giving initiative. That's right. We're in the holiday season. How about a man is 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. 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 and that's where originally started. It was originally started for the families 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. 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 on to and see if they love them. And that's what 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 do Heights. Yeah, I mean, I travel 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 I've operation breakthrough is a part of that as well. But recently they're converting an old pickup truck to electric students and the faculty there at Mind Drive and an operation breakthrough. Oh, yeah. Converting an entire vehicle to electric diesel hybrid. I was going to say it's a hybrid. Yeah, I was going to see if you even do this. So actually it's going to get more miles to the 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 fucking it's a lot of being being going on in my mind. But these kids and the the the adults that are helping and trying to guide us. Yeah, shout out to us 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 3400 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.

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 week 13 already. Man, there's only five games left. Flying by week 13 the NFL. Travis 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. I don't yeah. First, yeah, every holiday game seems to break every past record. So 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. Yeah, it was a tough loss. What are your thoughts? What are your thoughts about the game? You know, I'm sure everyone's sick of us saying it, but we're a few plays away from being a, you know, a one scene by mine. And maybe that's a bit extreme. Maybe it's, you know, I mean, all of the losses are all 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 fucking this close, man. We're this fucking 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, man, we're holding teams at the right moments. And, and, you know, and, and in other situations, we're just not scoring 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 fucking matters to me is that we got a chance on we keep coming into work with the, the mentality that, um, and a sense of urgency that we need to have to get the shit fixed and, and turn those handful of plays that are losing us the game into a handful of plays that win us these games. 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 like one of the most unlucky like seasons and 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 pretty crazy. Yeah. It's nuts. I don't know what it is. 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 then if you get in, you got a chance to get in. 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 Reade quote is pretty incredible, but Andy Reade 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 Reade 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 titles 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 to tickle on the tonsils. Obviously, that's a nice alliteration there. Is this a, have you heard Andy say tickling tonsils before? Never heard him say that one. Nope. That's a new one. It's the first 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 get the people going. The right one to pull out. Exactly. 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 come up with a little funny mannerisms, but the double on time. You're there is talking to me coach. Come on, let's go. This is what I, this is now this is my kind of football brothers. Let's go. This is how the coaches talked in high school. I was signed up. Yeah. Didn't know y'all were doing that out there. There are some very sexy drinking from the hose. What are we doing? 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 and you put them into that to chimmittle the chest. That's one of my favorite dick beaters is a great all-timer. Great. You ever heard that one? Such a long way to just say hands. 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 going to forget that one. Oh, my hands. I really only have one dick beater. Are you guys using both? He's starting looking around the room. Time out. Definitely. Hey, yeah. Beater. You guys are going lefty? No, no, no. Same time. Same time. Same time. I'm a basket. We've got myself. Yeah. This is our greatest episode ever. Oh, man. 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 around it's going to be about 20 degrees of kickoff. It's my kind of football, baby. Dude, I love when the cold weather sets in. 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, baby. Fly around on the ice. That's what I feel. 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 athletic self. I don't know why that feels like it's like my like sanctuary, but I was just feeling like I didn't get tired too when it was cold. Like I just could run for days. Yeah. No, I well, that's because you weren't running running. Running. You can still get very tired running in the cold. Fair enough. Fair enough. Yeah. It hits those lungs a little different too, but it's a 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. It's the beauty of football, man. You get to play in all elements in especially an arrowhead. For sure, man. Yeah. Even being up in New England this past yesterday, Monday night game. Oh, yeah. I just love the cold man. I like seeing my breath. It just feels like football. Yeah. The cold and your like peeky blinders outfit, man. That shit was sweet. It just meshed perfectly. Give a guy a musket. That doesn't work though. Yeah, right. All right. Well, let's get out of here. We'll see you guys up at Arrowhead and hopefully we come away with a fucking win. Must need win against a really good football team and let's go, baby. The fighting to Miko Ryan's man. Alrighty, thanks to our presenting spots or that's right. Oh, yeti. Fuck. Yeah, I love these things. Who doesn't love a good yeti? Check these things out, dude. I do a podcast with one and a drink out of one. Check these things out right here. These NFL ramblers that yeti sent us got the Eagles one here. I also got a new heights green one. Ooh, a little bit of a darker green. It's a good green. We also have a Super Bowl champions one right here. Boom. With a little thermos top. We have an Eagles rambler, chiefs one and the four screen one that we just showed you, which does match the show colors perfectly. 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. Obviously, the yetis are all made from quality materials. Their dishwasher is, say, BPA free and they're basically indestructible. I don't know how. I don't think I've ever seen one destroyed. Maybe dent it 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. 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 a beverage bucket. How about that? I like a good beverage bucket and they're available with any NFL team logo, not just our Eagle and chiefs colors. They even have a jets one for jets. Jake, just check.

That was a tough one as well for all of us 92% is assuming everyone is cheering for our teams. 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 playing good football and taking a shirt off in the locker room. How about it man? The guys are going fucking nuts. Golly man. Those guys are fighting for that. That's how you know it. Would you get a coach that comes in that just he's relatable to all the guys gets the guys to fight for a 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. Listen and we've had in Philadelphia. Nick Seriani 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 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. They're gonna help man. Yeah that's tough Lane Johnson coming back will be huge even though Fred is done well especially in past 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 for 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 of 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 Nicolage that stalls out a couple runs and then they'll suddenly run into it and they get a big one and you know it's just been frustrated especially as a guy who knows how much time those guys put into it up front. How great say Kwame Barkley is how great Jeff Stoutland 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 it's a brown starting to get the ball in the receive 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. 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 snap in 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's it's only going to make things way easier as a route runner and as offense 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 guys moving around you just so good at it. Yeah and they got a lot of good tight ends over there man so and a good run game and that's where like I the defense obviously gave up a lot of yards on the ground there are there are a lot the Bears office 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 doubling 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 decided to rock and roll meaning read goes back to the middle field and the other safety goes down to the three by side now and the court has got to come in now of a sudden now he's fitting the sea gap and they got a big hit on that one it's 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 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 is 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 peeking 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 let downs the two best teams in the league right now consistently have been the Broncos and the Patriots right yeah the Rams are the ones that were the most consistent team in football all of a sudden they lose to the they drop on the Charlotte so Charlotte yeah the same team. Yeah. Carolina is another sneaky one man though they can they can put together a game it just feels like more than ever the NFL is 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 can be hard at work to get this done I can't wait to see say one Barclay run in again man that's all I want I know everybody wants to see the past of the passing game so that I want to see say one Barclay running through the fucking line untouched all the way to the end so that's what I want to see using those say quads to just fucking come on and they get that going with the way they're playing defense that 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 seat has nine wins the seven seat has nine wins I think if Chicago loses next week to the hackers they drop from one to seven like that's how fucking insane this season is it really is where is that it was just a little later scrolling down we just use what you just said you can I don't like to much on here I think it's fun when you jump in I think you like the stash I do you like a stash you into it very Bert is very Bertie see the Bert Reynolds or Mario I'll take Bert Reynolds I think of the two what is this snapchat DM you want to read those Eagles fans have actually kind of funny that's what I was breaking up over over the Eagles yeah oh yeah read that good all right so apparently Eagles fans are breaking up over the Eagles yeah had a little snapchat DM here from a 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 day the Eagles have been shitting 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 superstitiousness here till the season is 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 yeah I mean or he replied low I mean sure for the birds we're going to spend that's how you freaking date responsibly the 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 back. Right you're right you gotta buy in guy you gotta buy in we need everything we can everybody needs everything they can the table is wide open yeah well I'll 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 it shit talking that's right a lot of shit 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 they got a little got a little personal over there man Jeffrey Simmons claims that Jaguars rookie running back LeQuint Allen Jr. told him to suck his dick in the middle of the game. No seems pretty standard trash talk to me like I feel like I've heard that a bunch. Just saying like I don't know for sure suck my dick my fucking like I feel like I hear that every game. What are we all upset and upset about. Yeah. Jeffers 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. I looked over I was like what the fuck. Yeah. He was like what I was like suck my dick. 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 punner Logan Cook threatened to kill him. Which what's up with all these Tennessee players snitching. What are we doing? Yeah. Also Jags players are fucking doing it right. You guys are in your head. You're in the head of the potent across. You're doing a Jacksonville. Take it up a notch. Taking up a notch. Tell him how you'd kill him. If it gets him out of his game because you're not being serious you're not going to actually kill him. That's the thing. Sometimes the punners they look creepy enough and like scrawny and like weird enough to where it's like damn you probably would fucking do some weird ass shit. No way. I've never thought that about a punner. No. Logan punner saying they're going to kill him like I would do nothing to me. I don't fucking break your neck right now. You realize I can kill you with my bare hands. I don't even need a weapon. Maccabees gonna beat your ass. I would not want to fight Mac. If you Maccabees a squirrelly some of the bitch you're right. Maccabee would be one guy. Who else wouldn't I want to fight? Um Sebastian Janikowski Janikowski. I was going to say you don't want to find him because 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 left field with something I'm not ready for. He's going to Steven Seagal fucking. Imagine if that hits your neck. What that would do to you? 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. Fair game. Yeah. If somebody says I'm going to fucking kill you. Like I'll fuck kill you. Like I don't know what it's like. I don't know what the not a fuck kill you first. I've never heard somebody say I'll fucking kill you and be like this guy just threatened my life. I'm going to report him to HR. I don't know what we talking about. Yeah. Did you just hear him? He's threatening my life. He told me to know what's happening right now. He told me to put his dick in my mouth. He said get this. He told me to s his D. I think that should be a 15 year penalty, sir. Tess is D. 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 dick. 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? Maybe the biggest non-NFL football news. Taking it to the college ranks. Oh, this 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 is going to want to take everyone from his staff that has made him, you know, 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 a new job opportunities until after the season because yeah, Ole Miss is going to go into the 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. I don't remember that. Really? Dude, what? Who else did we have? We had fucking 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 would be came. You know what? I'm thinking of when Butch left. Yeah. When when Coach Jones, when Coach Jones left, we had literally guys. Well, that wasn't the sugar bowl. That was the old bell. Oh, and we found a way to find her out there. But we had like fucking GAs being, you know, the main, the lead coaches and whatnot. It's just it's a clusterfuck 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, Amber Jones, well, you went through with Butch. I went through with Brian with Ann 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, part of me is mad that it takes old mishaping too for all of a sudden everybody to realize how fucked it up. And he's like, nobody gave a fucking break. Like, oh yeah, of course, Brian Kelly with the Notre Dame. He left Cincinnati. Like, of course that happened. All of a sudden, Mike Given does it the old miss and they're like, Oh, this is an outrage. How could he do this to his place? Like this fucking happened to me twice and nobody gave a fuck about it. And I couldn't transfer. At least these guys can fucking leave. I was just stuck there twiddling my thumbs. Like, I hope they hire a good fucking guy. That's so crazy. So take your sob story and shove it up your asshole, miss. I got no fucking pity for you guys. But I just, this is the way it works. I do think that there should be rules and 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 link given 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 Yeah, he just sucks. And it's not fun. You know, 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, it's a deflating moment for what should be a joyous time for everyone in that building. Yeah. And at the university right now. And you know, we were undefeated our best year that we've ever had at Cincinnati to that date. We were, I think it was two seconds or three seconds away from going to the national championship. Yeah. If Nebraska would have found out Texas, Texas and now we can see if you would have got to the quarterback one more time. We might have came down to a, to a rollout. We call it a heave hoe 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. Yeah. And in Texas did that at the end of a game, but they were one second away from giving the ball back. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it was, we, I think we ended up the four seats. I don't know that we would have made it anyway, but either way, we were the fourth ring team in the country and we got our dicks absolutely shoved in by the Florida Gators and Tim Tebow's last game. I was 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 didn't watch it though. It's about Urban Meyer and those, those couple of 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 of 500 yards. He gets a Cincinnati Bearcats in this sugar bowl. We got absolutely fucking killed. We were so, and to be honest, like it sucked not having Brian Kelly, but I could tell you very confidently it would not have mattered if Brian Kelly was going to get that game. We were so much less talented than them. I ran a little wild cat in there. I got it. I got my two plays in there. We did. I didn't get into that. I made Carlos Dunlop's highlight reel on draft day. Cause I gave him a sack. Yeah. What the fuck were you doing blocking Dunlop? Every time he would line up as a three technique in when I was studying tape that week, he kept running a Houston or a TE. Yeah. He would, he would pick the tackle and the end would loop around. So I'm getting ready to punch the shit out of them to try and put them out on Jeff Linkinbach. Yeah. 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. Yeah. That wasn't good. Tony, Tony got crushed on that place. Sorry, Tony Pike. Shout out to Lois. Yeah. Anyways, uh, yeah, it sucks. It's, it's the way it has been for a long time in football. Um, 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 fucking time. Yeah. Um, I hope this fans had his clothes in the parking lot by the day. It was hilarious, dude. The fucking fans outside the private jet, dude. Oh man. It was good. Well, sorry that you're going through it. Ole Miss. I know what you're going through. It sucks. Can't wait to see Ole Miss versus LSU next year though, baby. Here we go. Here we go. There's still got some playoff games going. Yeah, but at the same time, it's like, that's all you want to see. I want to see. Yeah. I want to see Lane Kiffin. I have to go back to LSU. What if they play better? What if they play better? Who's the, is there an interim coach? Is he for sure going with Lane Kiffin? I think they, I think their season just ended. Well, another going to the playoffs. Aren't they, isn't that why this is a big deal? There they are. You're right. We have no idea. Maybe Pete Golden gets really well and they offer him a bunch of money. Their special teams, Long Snapper, uh, father is actually going to be doing the signals for them in the playoffs. It'll be great. I mean, I think SEC has a little more, um, resources than we had in Cincinnati to handle. Just fucking good. Bring Eli back. Eli, go take charge for a college football playoff. That's great. Just get somebody in there. The fucking represents the program. All right. Let's wrap up football with some of these stamps of the weeks. Stamp of the week brought to you by audible. It's an amazing app. It's amazing, uh, platform to learn, be entertained. You name it. A lot of, a lot of good stuff on audible. All right. Nice. 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 happened. Is this the field goal kick? 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's spooked the kicker. I do think he also just fucked up though. Even if you see that, why do you do that? 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. Yeah. And I think, and think you got to, yeah, you got to kick and then you got to 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. You're not allowing yourself to get through the ball. Yeah. You want to keep that lead step right even or a little bit behind us. You can get through the ball, get through the ball. Either way, I'm not giving Jamie a stamp of the week because it wasn't a great hold. Puka Nakua for this insane catch. Let's check this one out. This was insane indeed. O.B.J. action. Puka. Reverse backhanded catch. Very impressive. Man, if we're going to go catch, I'm going tight and Brock Bowers. It's a good one. It's a good one. He gets by stamp of the week at least twice a year because of how fucking good he is. But this is an insane catch. Oh, wow. That's impressive. Off the fucking turf. Boy just loves ball, man. What a goon, man. Oh, draped all over him. Snow cones it. Yeah, man. Snow cones it. I like that. Just Brandon, stop putting Archie Manning in this fucking stamp of the week thing. No, no, I won't. Good for you. You are. If you aren't, I'm watching you, baby. Lock in. What? Pancels Jets fan. Let me see this one. We got security presence now. I wonder why. That's great. I got it. I would love to give that stamp, but I think you got to draw the line. Again, no shirts, funny, no pants. Yeah, that can go south. That goes south real quick. All right. I'm going to go with the Ernest Jones pick six. I know it's not original. It was a great pick. It was a fucking wild play. Sorry to rock. Max Brosner. Rough first outing. I mean, let's play a really good defense. It's gonna be hard to have a good game against those guys. Yeah, this is insane. This is insane. I just can't do it. No, do it. Can't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. But it wasn't electric play. It's an electric play. Ernest Jones really didn't have to do much, but it's electric. 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, fuck. Alrighty, that does it for a stamp. We brought to you by Audible. And now Jason Kelsey with the word of my partner, DraftKings. Thank you to our partner, DraftKings. That's right. The NFL playoff race is heating up and in the back half of the season, every game feels like a must win game. A lot of teams still left in the hunt. The AFC is wide open.

We're going to talk. Yeah, and we, how the fuck did this happen? I don't know how we even got to this point in life, Jason. Yeah. I don't even know how to talk to people of this stature. Well, because they talk to you and they're just so much smarter and like better. And why is he so good at just like being a cool person? He does it so effortlessly. I know. You said it best. You said it was like if, if that's, if that's what a movie star is, if that's what a superstar is, I'm fucked. Yeah. Because I don't have that. No. Just sitting there, you know, he's a superstar. He doesn't even say anything. And they start talking and he's like way better at conversing. Yeah. 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. You guys are going to see George Coluni take over this podcast. So are we on? You going? All right. I want to start off. Okay. I'm going to start off. I'm going to start off. Not you guys. I'm going to start off. Jason, I dig you, man. Oh, you're your, your, your NFC, your Hall of Famer. You know, I can, I can, I can show some love for you. Thank you. Thank you, George. Travis, Travis, you broke me, man. I'm a, I'm a Bengals fan, dude. I grew up in Cincinnati. You've broken me so many times and your pretty face on GQ. And I have to, the only times I've thrown like a hoagie at my TV at your face. You guys had your run. 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 of 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. You were a bear cat, man. Yeah. You were literally in the backyard. I was, I was straight street off the back of Cincinnati. I used to live on straight street. How about it? Really? Yeah. We had this in the run up. While 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? Yeah, for a minute. Yeah. That counts, right? It counts. It counts. I lived on straight street on the hill, you know, where if it's snowed and you parked, the cars would all end up at the bottom of the hill. That's exactly what we're talking about. Hell yeah. If you lived at the bottom of that hill. If you lived at the bottom of that hill when it snowed, you ain't making it to practice. You're calling it up. You went down to the King Quick at the bottom and you just got Doritos and a beer and you just sat there until it snowed. Oh yeah. That's all you could do, man. Over the Rhine, baby. That's some good shit. Over the Rhine. You remember that area? That was like tricky. Oh yeah. Now it's clean. No, and now it's a lot better. It's a lot better than clean this place out. There's still pockets. Pockets, that's a great way to put it. I was back in Cincinnati a couple of weeks ago and it was funny. I went back and the owner of the Cincinnati Reds came out. I was doing, I was speaking in front of a couple thousand people. Owner of the Cincinnati Reds came out and you know, I had a couple of trials 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've ever seen. That's too good. He's got no arms. He's got no speed. He's got no speed. Tell you what though. You put the jersey on man. The guy looks like a ball player. I look like I had to. I look good. I believe it. I believe it. I got to see those. That's too good. Was it just like high school tryouts or like? Yeah, it was, you know, they had a thing where they were taking people out of high school for, you know, anybody who was playing well in high school and they took you out and brought you in and let you try out for it. There was like a little combiner showcase. Yeah. Yeah, it was fun. But boy, it was pretty humiliating in front of all those people. That's too funny that he had it in there. He still had the detailed report, man. That's too funny. Well, nice. Now we can get it out there. Were you in the DAP program at Cincinnati for a little bit? No. None of that. Well, once a bear cat, always a bear cat in my book. I also, you know, I was a UK kid too. I loved UK. So, you know, I had a, 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 the hell. Yeah. And I'd been a Bengal stand for a long time and, you know, we'd lost an awful lot of games. A lot of losing. When I was there. There was a lot of losing. For a while, I think the losing is franchise and football. And then we kind of got a little better, you know. Yeah. Back in the day was Kenny Anderson was a quarterback. How about it? I don't know. How about it, man? I'm going to get this intro going and we'll get this thing officially started. I know. We're playing, man. All right. Here we go. Our guest today is a Hollywood legend from Lexington, Kentucky. Hey, 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, for this role as an ER, seriana out of sight. Oh, brother, we're at the perfect store from Dustin, Michael Clayton, Bird after reading and oceans 11, 12 to 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. 90 to two centers. Please welcome Mr. George Clooney. No fucking way. Oh my gosh, man. Guys, that is just for fabrication. I never wanted Tony, but you know, I'm glad you said it anyway. We did it out there. The people think I won and that's more fun. You did now. Dang it. Just. I appreciate the honesty. How do we get away with anything? We miss everyone. Many we missed a bunch. I'm sure. Yeah. It's okay. I'm fine. I'll be okay. Oh guys, how's it going, man? We're doing great. Thank you so much for taking the time to hop on, George. This is so much an honor for us. It is still can't believe that we're getting guests of your stature on this thing. It's insane. This is. Stature now. See, I get gray and I have stature. No, you get. What's the. You get this. Distinguished. That one. Dang it. Distinguished. 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 embrace. He can't wait till he goes full white. I'm right. Damn right. Dude, it's coming. And it happens fast. Okay. Perfect. I'm looking forward to it. I'm full Santa Claus here in a couple of years, man. I just going to be epic. Your wife will be so happy. Yes. She should be thrilled. She'll be thrilled. All right. Let's let's talk about Jay Kelly. How about that? All right. You bring it on. Initial thoughts. First of all, incredible film loved every second of it. And I know you've already. I'm sure you've been asked this by everybody anybody else talking 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. Well, I mean, look. You know, we're the same height and the same hair. So good. 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 crisis mode. But you know, listen, look, there's a guy whose kids hate him and you know, dad doesn't like him. I got so yeah, I got an eight year old's and they still dig me. You know, perfect. That's going to change. She's eight years are coming. How old are your kids? Dude, they're all they're all young. I got six, four, two and a brand new one. So we're in the early days. It's coming down and I'm telling you, dude, it's like even at eight, I've got like my daughter rolling her eyes now, which is a new thing. Okay. Like I'd say like, hey, you know, you're your dad's a big star. She just rolls her eye. Yeah. Sure. Sure. Not great. How do you handle that? Let me ask you that. Are you a like, like, do you are you a strict? Are you do you get on? Like what's your parenting style? I'm I'm probably I'm a little strict. I'm not like, you know, like nut bag about 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 much they're listening to you. Like I was in the car driving to school the other day and you know, I like some guy, you know, cut me off and I was like, fucking asshole. And I'm driving and like about five minutes later in the back seat, I hear fucking asshole. Same delivery. And my wife's going to hear it. Yeah. And then I'm dead. Yes. Exactly. There's no way I could. So you're learning as you go. That's amazing. All right. Well, to summarize the movie for everybody that needs to go watch this thing. George Gould plays a famous actor, J Kelly alongside. This is an awesome moment. His manager, Adam Sandler, the same man. Man, baby. 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. There's so much fun. You guys, do you guys know Adam and all of you ever met him? Well, yeah, yeah, travel's happy Gilmore too. I had the pleasure of being on set with the big guy. Yeah, that's right. You were in the mood. By the way, he didn't ask me. He didn't ask me in the mood. That's a missed opportunity, Adam. That's a missed opportunity. I told him, man, I work cheap. Not, you know, a lot like Travis. I'm doing this thing for free. Just let me be on set, man. 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 had 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 to do. You know, just the best man. Adam's such a good dude, man. I was, I was, I'm still forever thankful that he, he even sent the ask 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 10 times better, man. Fuck. Dude, I play a great waiter. You have no idea. Seeing you. Already a role. Seeing you chest bump, Xander Shafley. So wait, now is this going to be, is this going to be the thing now? Well, you know, when you retire, I know you're not going to retire. When you retire, is this going to, are you going to go into some show business? Are you going to act more? Listen, as long as I'm getting asked by guys like Adam Sandler, you know, my hero's growing up, man, I'm going to be there in a heartbeat, man. 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 you hire me, that's a damn sure. That's exciting, man. That's going to be fun. By the way, Travis, you were in Lake Como, weren't you? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Me and Tay danced around Lake Como for a little while, man. I loved it out there. That's my, you know, I got a place there out there. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. They love, they love to point it out whenever you're doing the, uh, whenever you're on the lake. I'm part of the tour. Yeah. It's a funny thing. And now you look at the other half, do you see a Georgia Clooney house? 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. Had you spent time in Italy at all? No, that was my first time. Cause 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, they do it right there. 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, 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 best posse you could ever imagine. And just the best, it's such a cool place. I remember, I recommend that place for everybody. Love it. Love it. Yeah. It's good. 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. The hairstylist. Yeah. You know, like, like Travis does. It's very similar. How accurate is this portrayal? Is this an accurate, hollow trope? 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 seems like a lot of work to me. Yeah. I hear you. 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, 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. Yeah. Not me. I have like 40 people. Yeah. There's someone sitting directly behind me holding my face back. Oh man, I was a banger at George. Did you have to do some sort of like, uh, like long distance training? You're running in like the entire second half of the movie. You're just sprinting across fields. Okay. So here's the thing. First of all, we were trying to run like a big goofball, but you know, I'm, I'm 64 years old and we do like, it's like a couple hundred yards sprinting. Oh yeah. And I do it like 30, like 30 takes, you know, 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. And here's something I learned from Jason. Rather than running faster, I just pumped my arms. That's right. There you go. There you go. That's something Jason taught me. We're smarter, not harder. Oh yeah. So wait, where are you guys? You're in, you're in KC, right? Yep. And Jason, where are you? 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 there really wasn't another option. I don't know if we'd be able to do what we do. Do you guys battle it out over who's got the coolest podcast? Do you get into that? Do you fight? It's everything you already know you got to you. You got to, you got to go after every bit of like, uh, Bracken writes at, uh, at the dinner table during things given, man, it's, it's, it's never stops. What, let me ask you this as a Cincinnati fan, burrows coming back. Like, does that inspire you or is it just like this diva to so bad? It doesn't matter who's playing quarterback. Well, I worry. I mean, you know, it's not like flak out wasn't putting up good numbers. So what do you do? Listen, it's been, it's an it's done. Yeah. 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. Yeah. I didn't realize that that was sort of going to be our, our swan song. No. Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, those are that freaking. Joe Morgan, Ken Griffey. Oh yeah. I mean, think about that. I mean, we had a team. Absolutely. Have you, have you met Joey Burrow, the smooth guy at Ohio native? No. Haven't ran into him yet? No. 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. But listen, he's, he's harmed us. He's the one that I think the first three games ever played against us. I remember it. I remember it. Rename the stadium. Burrow. Doug, I hate Jason. Between Burrow and our, you know, we have some amazing receivers and Chase and those guys where, you know, we really do have a, you know, it's fun to watch again. That part's fun. It's just heartbreaking to, you know, try to stop a run. Are you guys going to win it all this year? 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, 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? For sure. That's, that's the pride. That's the, that's the honor that you get though, when you win it. You know what I mean? Like I, I'm a competitor where I want everybody's fucking best. I want to, 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 fucking love those moments. Those are my, those are my favorite games to be a part of. And it definitely, when you play in good quarterbacks like Burrow and, and, and Josh Allen and those guys, like it's every game. Oh man. You know what I mean? Like, you know, you got to play in your, your top or else you're going to get smoked. I got, I got a question. George. Do you guys ever, do actors get competitive like athletes? Oh, it's funny. 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 going to outdo yours or how does that work? No, I don't think so. Cause 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 them those guys shit. I love giving Matt Damon shit. He deserves it, by the way. Absolutely. Absolutely. By the way, he's a Patriots fan and the Patriots are playing well. I can't live with it right now. It's bad. It's just, I hear about it. They let them, they let up Ohio, Ohio guy, get it, get it their own man. I'm just saying, Ohio Bowl player, man. Crazy. How much can make a difference? Yeah. And then, and you, and Pizza Kansas City fans. So you guys got pit. Oh yeah. So, you know, the whole oceans, the whole oceans team is breaking me, man. You're going to do another oceans. What? You guys are doing another one? Yeah, we're going to do another one. Oh, but you know, now we're old. So it's going to be like mostly just trying not to crap yourself. Dude, I can't fucking, I can't fucking wait though. It's like every sneeze is a gamble now. Is this already like, you guys getting ready to film it? How does this work? No, we're scouting locations. Everything's been agreed to? Yeah. The only, the main thing is just finding the time for those in the schedule to figure out when we can all do it. But yeah, we've got a really good script and it's going to be fun, fun to work, get those guys back in the room to be fun. Oh hell yeah. Well, it's been pretty damn good so far. Yeah. Do you think you'll ever get back in on screen with the Cohen brothers? I got to say, oh brother, we're out now. Hail Caesar. Burn after reading. Come on now. Oh my gosh. Yeah, that was a pretty funny thing. You know, I remember when I was doing Oh Brother, we're out now. 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. Quite the assumption. 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 Manne Constance Arrow in the, literally in the recording studio. Such a great tune. Yeah. And I sing it like I'm 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, we're going to have to. I mean, let's play it back for you, George. They're hoping and it just sounded like a cat caught in a wheel well of a car. So bad. So humiliating. 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. Talented. I don't know. They kind of, they're not, they haven't been working together as much right now, but if they get something back together, I'll do it. I, 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. Yeah, absolutely. We got one last segment here for you, George, man. We know you're on a tight schedule, brother. We, baby, I'm ready. Come on. We appreciate the time, but this is our last segment. We got to ask, but you don't have to answer. You can tell us to kick rocks or you can have some fun with us. The question. Ask him away, man. Whatever you got, you claim that you and your wife haven't gotten into fighting 10 years. That's right. Are you lying? No, I'm not lying. Travis, Joey asked you the same questions. It's only been two and a half years and you're right. I haven't gotten an argument. All right. Never once. Honestly, you know, neither of us are going to win the arguments or why get in it. There we go. There you go. That's a smart man right there. 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've 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 a great answer. You know, that's a good one. Too late to do it. Yeah, you can use that if you want. I'm just taking notes this whole, this whole time. Big guy. You don't even know. Exactly. Come on. Bring me another one. What else you got? Come on, Travis. Where do you rank Jason as fat Batman? Do we have the picture for you? Let's see that. Oh, nice. I think you remember that picture coming out. Oh gosh, you know, very unfortunate that you could see this. You could be one of the, one of the bad guys in the film. By the way, you and I, both of you and I know that I was the best Batman. You know that, right? Absolutely. I mean, there's no argue. I mean, Ben Affleck. Come on. I mean, I put, you know, I was there. There it is. Yeah. That's where that competitiveness comes in. Yeah. You know, I'm the only one who had rubber nipples. You have rubber nipples. Rubber nipples. You didn't come through enough on the suit. Yeah. Yeah. When it got colder, it was like two Dunlap tires going out. All right. Bad luck. Is it true that you once stole Bill Clinton's stationery and wrote a fake note to actor saying president? No. All right, go ahead. Jimmy Kimmel gave me a stack of stationery with a presidential seal and Bill Clinton's name on it. 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. And there's not, you know, I love you in this film and I'd write these notes and I'd send them. I send to like 30 different actors. I guarantee you some of them are framed on some of their own. Oh my gosh. They don't even know. They still don't know. That is amazing. Now they know. Now they know. Oh my gosh. Holy crap. It's so much fun. By the way, I did that. I do that a lot. Like I have, I had Brad Pitt stationery. Yeah. And I sent, you know, I told a couple of people this before, but I had Brad Pitt stationery that Kimmel gave me again. And I sent, 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 that. 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 you could use it. And I sent her this book of accents. Brad Pitt. It's so awful. I'm so sorry. Like four years later, I see her and I tell the story. Yeah, he knows it now. And like 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 saying to me. So. 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. And all he's out. That's so good, man. Well, speaking of Brad, he told us the story when he was on New Heights not too long ago about how he, um, he ate so many beans during a scene right before a scene that he, um, or during the scene, I'm sorry. He ended up 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 exactly. 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, uh, of Batman and Robin, which is famously one of the worst films of all time. And I'm terrible in it. And, uh, I remember there was like, uh, the director would, you know, I'm laying in a, you're in a rubber cowl and you can't move cause 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 to for action. And the director, small shoe markers, like going, okay, here we go. And your parents are dead. You have nothing to live for and action. I'm Batman. And 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, uh, it was a pretty humiliating. 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. Come on. Michael Keaton's got nothing on him. Come on now. Well, you, uh, talking, but 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. 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 at the drive-in theater in Maysville, Kentucky, and like, you know, butch Cassie, the Sundance kid. Holy stuff. And then like, I remember, uh, 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 he came over and he had a beer and a cigarette. And he goes, you want a beer? And I was like, yeah. Yeah. I was turning that down. 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 Newman. And I, I, I sat there for like an hour and a half outside the soundstage with him just talking. And I remember going on 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 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 blueer in person than they were on screen. You know, it was really something. Well, you now, man, I say the same thing. That's you now, man. I appreciate you for being the fucking coolest guy on the goddamn world, man. We had a fucking whole lot of fun reaching your new low on new heights. And 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 fucking best. And good luck. Good luck. Bangles defense. Yeah. You already know. Oh, yeah. One last shot to the chest. All right. And that does it for George Clooney. I hope you guys enjoyed it. We sure did. We still are way out of our league. Yeah, way out of our league in many ways, in many ways. 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 and like tried to do something to bring something to that conversation. But George just took it away. I was in shock the whole time. So good looking and charismatic. It was glowing. It's why did they have better lighting than us? Why is he, why was he glowing like that? I think he's just his aura. He's just walks 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 movie. It's an outstanding movie really is Adam Sandler and him. They just the dynamic between those two is fantastic. It's a great movie. It's very good. Highly recommend it. Check it out. That wraps up this episode of New Heights. Hey.

Me and Ben Bloom would lower all the windows and open the sliding door in the trunk and cruise around the parking lot playing alphats. I didn't came down. As loud as the stock speakers could come on thinking that like anybody else could hear this. Barely could hear it. Yeah. The Chrysler stock. They heard you guys in there laughing more than they heard the actual music. Hotter came down, hotter came down, hot and hot and hot and hot and the came down, hey man now. Had to skip a couple words. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We gotta be selective. Gotta be selective. From superior, they be coming down. That song made it into Madden. It did. You're right. That is such an obscure song to make it into Madden. Well LeBron showed up at Alphats is what they ended up calling it but Fat Al's a. Well he was Fat Al initially and now he's Alphats. Yeah, he got big enough to where copyrights came in and said, hey, I'll know. There was another song that was really popular that year. My neck. My back. It wasn't that. That didn't start until when I thought you were serious. I didn't have the confidence for that one yet. Jason Kelsey. You know how little confidence I had with LeBron. That came around more in college. That was more once I kind of built up a more bigger self-esteem.
