of what it ended up being to Netflix prior, they would have been like, no, we're not letting you do this. I can't imagine anyone green lighting what was said that night. And even sitting there that night, I was thinking, oh man, tomorrow it's going to be like, they went too hard. Did they cross the line? Is this the end of roasts? But everyone seemed to just be so excited about it that I would say.

There was not one headline of like, it's too far. Like not even one. And it was too far. It was offensive to me at times. Welcome to Games with Names. I'm Julian Edelman, they're Jack and Kyler, and we're on a mission to find the greatest game of all time.

On today's episode, we are covering the 2023 AFC divisional round game between the Chiefs and the Bills with comedian, actor, writer, and legendary roaster, Nikki Glaser. And we get into talking about why she roasted me so hard. Squinty eyed f**k boy, that's what she called me. That joke really did take a lot of work to get to for how dumb it is, but...

We also get into hosting the Golden Globes. It is live. It is in front of an audience that can be a little stuffy and has, in the past, not been the greatest audience for a comedian to go out there. And then we have to get into why she has such a connection with Taylor Swift. I never even thought to listen to the girls music because I thought, oh, I don't like country come to find out she's like been the most important person in my life. And like, I

say that with like no irony. And then we read our Apple podcast review from our fans. There's some good ones. You got to stick around to the very tippity tippity tippity toppity end of the program. Let's go. Let's go, let's go. Games with names is a production of iHeartRadio. January 21st, 2024, Highmark Stadium, Orchard Park, New York.

Taylor Swift, the Kelsey family. Oh my God, Jason, put your shirt back on. Hey, we got a football game going on. This is the White Sweater Game. This is the White Sweater Game. This is the White Sweater Game. Get comfy, yeah. There you go.

I like your angle. Why? Like this, like this. I get comfy. Yeah, you got it. And I got bad back. Oh, God, no. Well, not like bad, bad back, but like if I sit like a seat, you got it. And I got bad back.

Oh, God. No. Well, not like bad, bad back, but like, if I sit like a certain way for a long time, I get fucked. Fuck. And it's from football? Or was it always, have you- No, yeah, just from like, when you get injured anywhere, like your biomechanics of how you

walk or how your gait is, it changes millimeters. So I've had 14 surgeries. So there's changes everywhere in my body. And then all up and down. Yeah, and everything's connected. You know what I mean? So like your whole posterior chain is connected. So you have a bad knee, it could mess up your back. Oh my God. Yeah. Because you're hip, you know what I mean? So I do, you know, I just, you know, I try to stay active and I do yoga

and I still work out and stuff, but I definitely feel my body. Oh, fuck. How old are you? Just from 38. Fuck! Yeah. You're not supposed to feel your body yet at 38.

Yeah, but I live in a cool house because of it. It's worth it. It's absolutely worth it. But you're not in pain right now. I'm not in pain right now. Okay, that's good. I'll be later tonight. But do you like, do you get massages and stuff?

Like you get stuff done all the time? Yeah, I mean, so I used to get it like every day, twice a day when I was playing. And then as soon as I stopped, it kind of like, I was so pooped from the game. Yeah. Like that it reminded me of work. Yeah, I feel like part of it.

So like I gave away body treatment for like a year and a half, two years. like, and I'm all going on your three. I started back up last year. Good. But like picture it like you're a Kobe beef, like getting massaged every day. They feed you right. And then all of a sudden you just quit, you know, do anything. Your body's like, what the fuck is going on? What is happening? Why haven't I been touched? Why haven't I been manipulated? Why haven't I been manipulated like, oh, wow. But it's not even like. But the massages you guys get aren't like relaxing.

No, it can be pain. They're painful. Yeah, it depends on what type of treatment you get. There's like a RT where you active release, where they get to a pressure point. I watch that stuff on YouTube. Yeah. And then there's like soft tissue. I was a soft tissue guy, so it was painful with movement to like warming, bring blood to your muscles. So that's how you get promote recovery. Right.

The whole TB 12. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You were into that. Yeah. Very into it, you know. Yeah. Yeah. I learned about you in reference to. And let's let's start this thing off. Let's do it. Welcome to games with names today. We are looking at the Chiefs versus Bills 2023 AFC Divisional Game, or as some would call it, the Kelsey Shirt Off Game.

Oh yes. Jason Kelsey Shirt Off Game with Nikki Glaser. Welcome to the studio. Thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited. Thank you for coming. This has been way too long, I feel, after our first time really meeting.

Yeah, I saw you in preparation for the roast. You were going out and working on your set at the Comedy Store. You were with Jeff Ross one night, and I was there preparing as well, and I wanted to meet you, but I was scared. And they were like, we'll go introduce you. And I'm like, no, he's working, and he doesn't wanna meet.

Like, I just, I had so much fear around it. I just had never been around athletes. Like, I don't know. I just put you guys all on a pedestal, but you're pretty real and you're a lot like comics. And I should have met you that night. But then I met you right before I went on stage and you were so nice and cool.

And then she called me a squinty eye fuck boy. I did call you a squinty eye fuck boy. Oh my God. Where's the lie? Where's the joke? That's just true. That was just a jokegy, I fuck boys. Oh my God. Where's the lie, where's the joke? That's just true. That was just a joke. It's comedy, it's comedy. We need it, you need, that's what you need in roast sets.

You need one that's just like, what does this person look, what's the dumbest thing you can say to describe this person? Like don't even try to be clever, just say what it is. And that was, that joke really did take a lot of work to get to for how dumb it is. But it- You should have called us, we had a lot of ammo. I really should have, next time.

Oh my God. We'll jump into it more. Squinty eyed fuck boy, I can't believe I called you that. That's so rude. I didn't even know you. That's comedy. What the, like, yeah, we gotta talk about it, but I forgot we talk about a game on the show.

Yeah, sometimes. Yeah, exactly, all the clips, I'm like, What that like yeah, we got to talk about it, but I forgot we talk about a game on the show Exactly all the clips I'm like you guys sent me a list of games to choose like a what is this? Every clip I've seen I've never seen a game discussed in detail, but I'll do it just Right you're right you're right. I love your clips by the way, you know, thank you in one sentence Let's bring it to the game. Why'd you pick this game? I picked this game because it just seemed like a, like it was a game where I fell in love with Jason Kelsey, really saw him for who he is just, and then also Taylor was there.

I mean, like I was gonna, you guys gave me a list of all the Taylor games and I just felt like this one was a fun one because of the Jason element. And like, and then just his wife afterwards saying like, I just like let him go. Like, and he was just threatening, I'm gonna take off my shirt. And she's just like, I just like let him go. Like, and he was just threatening, I'm gonna take off my shirt.

And she's just like, yeah, just go do it. And I'm like, that's couples goals there. Like just let each other be who they are. I like everything around this game. I liked the game itself. Don't know what happened. Yeah. It's a great game.

Okay, great game. Okay, let's get into that too. Because I wanna be clear. Do we have to? So it's just the greatest game of all time then? Probably. I do believe what happened on the field has gone down in history.

I'm learning about football right now. I started with obviously Taylor in the fall going to games and being like, okay, I guess I have to watch this and try to understand it because I do, I respect everyone who loves football and is obsessed with it, but I've just never been able to do it

because I don't understand it. And it's like a catch-22 that my boyfriend keeps going, well, if you watch enough, you'll understand it. And I go, but it's not interesting to me because I don't understand it. So to understand it, I have to watch it, but I don't wanna watch it because I don't understand it.

So I'm stuck, but I have actually learned, I've studied, I went from knowing literal zero about football. I mean, zero to, I like how my friends quiz me now. Like I'm pretty good on it now because it is. What's offense? Well, that's like the people that move the ball forward. That's great answer. Thank you so much.

Ding ding ding ding, what's defense? It's the people who prevent the offense from moving the ball forward. Okay, don't patronize me with these questions. I mean, that's pretty good. That's good. That actually is nice of you. If you're being sincere, that's nice that you started out

with that and that you're impressed by that. I was thinking like for when I, you know, I watch a football game with like an international friend that has never seen football. Yeah, okay. So you get it. Yeah, you got to watch the game with someone that will explain it to you.

And it's great to learn it through watching the game with someone who can explain it to you. Yes. You can't do it on like, I've tried to do it on chalkboards and shit. And like in Amsterdam, at a fucking, I was at a ping pong hall and these guys like, what are American football?

And I'm over here like, well you got this? No clue. No clue. But if you sit down at a game and get a couple clips, it's the clips. It's running it over and over. It's the commentators, is that what they're called? Yeah, them describing what's going on.

Like you just, and just asking questions and not being scared to look stupid. Like I think I just let down my guard of, like I think in high school I was on the pep squad and we would be like supposed to be watching the game and cheering when things would happen. And I always felt like I was just, I just had to pretend like I knew

and I kind of felt like I just had To keep that up and it's too embarrassing to admit that you don't understand This game that everyone in your life loves and so I think as soon as I just came out and was like I don't get Any of it and I want to and I'm not scared to ask the dumbest questions Like it's really helped me like the other night. I was like What happened and I'm so sorry to your listeners who were like we don't need to hear what you don't understand about the game that we know everything about. But like, it's A, B, C. So like, yeah, the other night they, you know,

there was a guy was running it and he went off the side and I go, oh wait, and I should have known this by now because I know a lot, but you just miss things. And I go, wait, does the ball now start from where he ran off or does it start from where he caught it? Because now he's out of bounds. And I could see my boyfriend being like, you should know this by now.

But it was kind of nice because he just took a deep breath and was like, no, it starts from where he left. And then there was, there's just so many things that come, it's so complicated. It is. It's a very strategic game. That's why it doesn't have, a lot of the international sports,

hockey, soccer, basketball, those are free flowing games that are always moving. In football, it's straight strategy. We stop every play, we line up, that person lines up. If you put us in this situation, we're gonna do this, we're gonna do this little stuff over here to get some mirror work to scare ya. It's just like straight combat chess war.

Boom, boom, boom, boom. Yeah, that's what I liked about it and that's what I didn't understand was going on and I have so much more respect for it because of that strategy and because of how much smarts and cunning it takes. Yeah, we're not just dumb football players. No, you're not.

It's like, it takes, I've seen quarterback on Netflix. I know what it takes to how much they study and they hook the little sensors up to Kirk Cousins with the sensors all over his head doing the neurofeedback. I was like, oh, this this is actually and because I'm a fairly smart person and because it's so hard for me to understand, I understand like people who do understand that I have respect for it. It's complex. But I, yeah, I'm still, I'll ask you a couple of questions throughout.

Like I still don't understand. Like the other night, some guy threw a thing and he didn't catch it, like threw it just to fucking know one. And I asked what happened and my boyfriend was like, it was a broken play. Like he obviously just didn't know the play he was gonna do or they miscommunicated. And I go, isn't that embarrassing?

Like I was like, isn't that like, he should have known it. He didn't study hard enough and he went to the play he was gonna do or they miscommunicated and I go, isn't that embarrassing? Like I was like, isn't that like, he should have known it, he didn't study hard enough and he went to the wrong place and he goes, no, because I mean, they'll talk about it later after the game and let me know what you think about this but he was like, that's the thing about football, you just brush it off and you continue. You can't dwell.

Yeah. What, now what, tell me about that. So sometimes if you're on offense and you call a play and the defense has something that you can't beat, sometimes it's better to just throw the ball away and go to the play the next down and not have a catastrophe happen if you try to run the play in that play.

Got it. So it's like a do-over. All right, defense, tip your cap. You got us on that play. Now let's do it again. Got it. That's what it is. Okay. All right, defense, tip your cap. You got us on that play. Now let's do it again. Got it. Okay. That's what it is.

Okay. So it happens a lot. I mean, you know, if on certain plays and if you see like a, or sometimes it could be like a miscommunication between a receiver and a quarterback, the guy who throws it and the guy who catches it. If a guy runs a wrong route,

the quarterback thinks he's going a different way. He could throw it completely different. But don't you guys have this worked out? Like we're doing this play and you're supposed to go there and how did you not study? There's different, so there's one route that can turn into two routes. Got it, okay, based on what happens.

If that route, if this guy's playing a certain way and this guy, you know, you'll do something else and sometimes you misread it and you're not on the same page. Got it, okay. So there's a whole lot of like, intricacies and like, variables that are thrown into it, which makes it even more complex. But in terms of memorizing plays, like what was your strategy for that?

Like it seems so daunting. And I memorize jokes and set lists and have to keep an order and stuff, but I just don't expect you like athletes to have to like memorize things. It's a very interesting facet of the game to me. Yeah, you know, what I did in my rookie year is I did flashcards.

You know, you have like literally, and it's not just the play, it's the formation, like the name of what you have, where you line up. Right. And then there's a name of what person you are on the field. So there's a personnel group, a formation, and then a play. Okay, so that's why there's multiple there's a name. There's a name of what person you are on the field. So there's a personnel group, a formation and then a play. OK, so that's why there's multiple.

Yeah, so it'll be like Army Gun Trips, right? Right. One thirty four dazzle alert, you know, F combat or something like that. You know what I mean? So there's two plays in one. But like the trips, right. It's telling you where to go. The army is telling you what person you are. And then the dazzle is telling, like the numbers usually for the linemen

and then the dazzles for the receivers because that's a route concept. Okay, this sounds insane to be able to memorize, but. It is, it's tough. No, and if you don't. It's just part of it. It is. You just have to do it.

It's kinda like probably in comedy if, no it's nothing. No, I think it is like comedy. I think you're right because I think sometimes people go, how do you memorize all that up there? And I go, because I started with three minutes. I didn't start with an hour. And you started with high school and it was one or two plays or whatever, whatever.

But it also gets to a point where it gets so competitive that like athletically, there are certain guys that don't really digest a playbook or remember a playbook, but they are so good, where you just say, hey buddy, you run a slant, and he goes, all right, and you know, there are those cases, so it might be like the really good comic that didn't prepare. Oh yeah, that just is funny, the way he talks,

and you're like, you're just naturally born this way, you don't have to try and everything you say. Yeah, that just. But that comes and gets them. That's a short lifespan. Absolutely. Especially in the high competitive. Yeah, it's interesting,

just inborn talent versus working hard. You're constantly trying to marry those two or yeah. Without a doubt. And speaking of working hard, how cool is it that you're about to host the Golden Globes? It's crazy. It's so cool. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. I was waiting for that. Kyler, I thought you were gonna... You know what? Talk about preparing. How do you prepare for that? Well, it's like, I think it's the same. I really feel a kinship with athletes after doing the roast

because I was like, it's a live thing. You get one chance to do it. The stakes are so fucking high. And the roast because I was like, it's a live thing. You get one chance to do it. The stakes are so fucking high. And I, and it's a, the roast was competitive too, which isn't not normal in comedy. Like we're not usually competing with each other, but on a roast, it's like, you're trying to get that MVP. Even though we don't really know.

I'm gonna say you got MVP right now. I didn't even know it was a thing to get, but I guess I did get it and it felt amazing. I'm not, I never win anything. So I felt, it felt good in that sense, but getting the Globes, it's like, it's four months down the road for me. I see it.

I know that December is going to wreck me in terms of preparation, but I know what I have to do to get there that day and be completely calm about it and be like, I've got this because the work will come beforehand. Now, if it was like an audition I have on Friday that I just get, I'm gonna be scared up until the moment I do it, because there's no amount of preparation

that's gonna make me feel good in two days to prepare for that. But for four months, I'm like, oh, I've got this in the bag. But it is live, it is in front of an audience that can be a little stuffy, and has in the past not been the greatest audience for a comedian to go out there, but I think based on being able to watch past Golden Globes and see what the audience

is like and see how much they're willing to make fun of themselves and how much you can roast and how many roasts I've done, there's such a delicate balance of how much you can make fun of people and still get away with it and toe that line. I feel like we, I don't know, I've watched roasts for as long as they've been around.

And they kind of chilled for a while since this whole 22 and 20 and how the world has kind of changed with the woke. You're all too sensitive, yeah. And I felt like it kind of, the roasts we were on, there was like no holding anyone back. That was wild.

You know what I mean? Everyone was hitting every joke and it was kinda, it was like comedy was almost coming back. I felt that too and I don't know that like, if we would have submitted that script of what it ended up being to Netflix prior, they would have been like, no, we're not letting you do this.

Like, I'm sure Netflix perused what was going to be said, but they weren't really, I can't imagine anyone green lighting what was said that night. And even sitting there that night, I was thinking, oh man, tomorrow it's gonna be like, they went too hard. This was, you know, did they cross the line? Is this the end of roasts?

Like, cause it was so harsh, but everyone seemed to just be like, so excited about it that I'd say. It was not, there was not one headline of like, it's too far. Like not even one. And it was too far. It was offensive to me at times.

Yeah, it was pretty, it was pretty. It was great though. But it was great for like, for us, like the athletes, when the civilians on the stage. When we went up there and when Kevin let it off, it was good to see Kevin, like that was a teammate move. Like he showed like where the bar was set when he came out. Oh my God, such a teammate. And so it relieved me, he said, oh, he said that.

I'm like, all right, I'm good, I'm good. What was the line he said that made you, or like? There was the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu stuff. He said, oh, he said that. I'm like, all right, I'm good. I'm good. What was the line he said that made you? There's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu stuff. He was bringing it right away. Yes, you're right. He was showing you where the threshold was, where we're willing to go. Absolutely, I felt that way too.

Yeah. He was the best man. And just commenting after everyone's set and showing credit where it's due. He was really a team player that night. On a night where it is competitive and comedians aren't usually that generous with each other of like giving each other accolades

and it was just, it just, it felt, but the roast is weird because you didn't know what other people were gonna say, what other jokes people were doing. None of us had any idea what the other people were doing so you're writing stuff being like, can I get away with, am I gonna be the only one who addresses this thing? And then when I heard you were doing an Aaron Hernandez joke, writing something like, can I get away with it? Am I gonna be the only one who addresses this thing? And then when I heard you were doing

an Aaron Hernandez joke, I was like, I guess it's on the table. That opened up a world to me. No. It's comedy. Of course it was jokes. And I think anything can be, jokes can be made about literally any topic.

It's not like you're're making fun of the victim. There's a certain way that it shouldn't be done and that's not the way it was done that night. It was really refreshing, but there was just like, I heard just like a hint that, or someone said, yeah, you know, Julien is a Aaron Hernandez joke. And I had been like, I can't do it because no one's gonna go there.

And then it just was like, yes, hell yes. You killed so hard, man. Like I'm, we, a comedian should kill. Like I should have done as well as I did, but like there's no precedent for you doing that well or Gronk doing that well. It really was like, you all should have done as well as Randy did.

Drew good, I like Drew. He likes you too, I think. Oh, and Drew. Drew loved Nicky, bro. I'm sorry, I wanna include Drew in that too. Drew was amazing. He was the first one to go out, so that's big balls. He killed, and him just sipping that wine

being so calm and cool. I mean, it makes sense why you guys kill, because you are used to these high pressure situations. And maybe you would say that wouldn't have prepared you at all for that, but I think it has to. There's no way, like how did all three of you kill like that? It just doesn't make sense.

You know, I can speak for myself, and I wanna ask you about your preparation process after, but for me, we saw each other at the store. And Jeff was awesome to let me do the back 10, 12 minutes of his set at the Comedy Store, which. Good for you doing that. I was so terrified. Of course. I was shaking telling my jokes like this.

I was and I could barely talk. Thank God there was like 15 frat dudes from Nebraska that knew who I was. I loved football. So I felt comfortable. But good for you for doing that, because that's not easy to do, and no one wants to go run their set around town. But when I heard, like, I go, where's Tom running his set? And they're like, he's just practicing it on his plane and stuff,

because obviously he can't go out to clubs, it makes sense. Practice on your plane is just so- I would be so scared to go do it for the first time without saying, because I went around a lot to clubs to run it, so good for you even going out the, how many minutes did you go out and run it? Just once. Just once?

That one rep was everything for me, because then once we got to the roast, the only people that we really could see were people we knew. Yeah. You know, and yeah, you see Kim Kardashian, but like, Oh yeah. Yeah, whatever. But like, I saw like coaches, I saw friends.

So like that made it more comfortable for me. I wasn't looking past that. Okay. I, you, yeah, you destroyed it. It was fun. But then I think we all entered this part where like we would get on stage, we'd be nervous. And then the first laugh you get, you're calm.

Yeah. Like you like, and then you guys kind of like would lock into it and get excited about, oh my God, they don't even know what's coming up. Because I could see you guys, you and Gronk specifically, having jokes land and then getting this kind of like, oh yes, I got it, and then hitting the stride.

Because isn't it a great feeling to make people laugh and kill? I mean, I have so much respect for, you know, comics and the comedy life. I mean, I've gotten to know it a little through Sam Moreau because we started this show and Sam was one of my co-hosts. Oh yeah, yeah, that's right. I love Sam so much.

And so I would go hang out with him at the cellar and see all the other guys and kind of get a little in of how comics really are. Yeah. And you know, like. What's your take, well, I think you guys are brilliant people. Like to be able to like like when you how you're impressed with play call remembering, yeah, like to be able to formulate a set and say a joke in the first five minutes and it's an hour long set.

Tell a bunch of stuff like the story, the meat, this, this, and then bring it back to someone. Somewhere, like that's talent. I can't write, I'm not a good English person. So like that. But you would be able to, but you wrote some good English person. Football, fun. It's you, did you not have a moment during your set

where you were like, and I wrote that one, was that you? That was Rob. That was Rob. I wrote a couple, we wrote a couple. You wrote a couple of your jokes though you were like, and I wrote that one, was that you? That was Rob. I wrote a couple. You wrote a couple of your jokes though, right? Yeah, we wrote a couple. Which ones did you write? We wrote the Hernandez joke, didn't we?

They came with something in that premise and then we tweaked it. Okay. So this is my writing room right here. You tighten the noose. Yeah. The brain trust. You tapped Sam in a little bit too. We tapped in Sam.

Sam was in there with us in the writers room. Jeff helped us out, he was awesome. It is a team, I provided a team as well too. You can't do it alone. I'm not like her at this thing, so I had people help me. No, I had a team too, everyone does. I would basically, so how we did our jokes was,

I would tell a bunch of stories to our room of things that I thought were funny. Yes. Like how it was in the locker room or the shower thing or you know, taking a piss next to Gronk and like, cause it was comedy every day when you would go, it would, when Gronk was around. I'd take a piss every day.

Gronk would look over the stall and look at my dick and say like, man, you're looking good today. Like every day. But naked. Like, so like I would tell these stories and then we would formulate a joke. They would formulate a joke. It was crazy.

It was so fun. Were you nervous? Yeah, I was very nervous. Yeah. I was like. Did it feel like Super Bowl nervous? My first Super Bowl was probably similar cause it's unknown, but you know, football is the same

and I'm comfortable with the game. And I was in the mindset, you know, you do the same thing that got you there, you'll be all right. So you're nervous for a Super Bowl, but this is something that's like completely outside the comfort box. Like, I don't know, like yeah.

Did you say yes right away when they asked you or were you like, let me think about this? I said no. You did. Yeah, I was like, no shot. And then what made you do it? The hundred, I think a couple hundred grand or something. Okay, I know, didn't hurt.

I was like, all right, maybe I'll do it. Yeah, yeah. But I was embarrassed, I was scared. Yeah. You know, like that's very, you know. The relief when it was over, how great was that? It was relief, but then it was also like, I enjoyed it. Oh, the relief when it was over. How great was that? It was relief, but then it was also like I enjoyed it.

Yeah, it was really, really fun. And then, you know, we just did a live show in Boston. Oh yeah, I saw that at the Wilbur. At the Wilbur. Yeah. Have you performed there? I've been there a lot. What a great room.

Big room. Good job. It was so fun. And like, I was less nervous for that because of the roast, but I was still nervous for that. But I still had like, I had a rep at being in front of people. Yes.

And even though it was completely different. I forget that you don't like talk in front of people often. But I'm, it's a new world for me because this is like- But you're learning. It's my third year out of the league. And so like- Is this what you thought you would do out of the league? No.

And did you even, did you have a plan or were you just kind of out of it and being like, what are we, like? I thought I was just gonna go take a horse down a dusty road with millions of dollars and just fucking. What happened? I had a kid and you gotta work and. Yeah, and you get. It's not too late.

It never ends. It never ends. And like my mind's like, now that like football is over, my mind is needed something else. Yeah, because you have to be obsessed with football your whole life. Yeah, but also like. What's that like, dude?

Like, your whole life is something and then you just like stop. I can't even, like I'm so grateful I do something that I can do until I die. Yeah, you know. But in some ways I'm not, I wanna stop. I'd like my body to make me stop. There's good things about it too.

Sometimes you like, because of my body making me stop, you have a natural instinct that kicks in. We're like, what's next? And then you think about all the other interests you had other than football. And I've got to explore those because of football and actually have a shot. So I have so explore those because of football and actually have a shot. So I have so much gratitude because of football

that I get to do this stuff because I probably wouldn't have been sitting here talking to you if it wasn't for the game. So it just, I'm so thankful that I had my career, I'm so thankful that everything went the way. Do you have to say that? No, you don't. No, you're right, I'm just thankful that I had my career. I'm so thankful that everything went the way. Do you have to say that? No, you don't. No, you're right.

I'm just giving you shit. But I like that gratitude because you could be better about it. Like my situation, I'm not like one of the, I'm not gronk. Look at me, I'm a five foot 10 squinty eye little fuck boy, like you said. Like I had to work to get my shit.

We've all seen the ESPN magazine photo shoot. You know what you're doing. You know what I mean though. We've all peered over the stall and been like things look good. Okay. You obviously have charisma and good looks. Like you had something to spin this into,

but like it is, what was the first year out? Like, were you just like, I guess I'll start, I mean, podcasting is the natural thing to go do. Why not? I started doing Inside the NFL live TV. Oh, okay, yeah. And then, or live to tape, which was cool. And then we started the podcast.

Yeah. And you know, and then you had to say yes to other things that you've said no to for so long, like your family. Yes, I know. You've always had an excuse. Yeah, and so you have some making up to do. So like being a dad. Oh yeah, oh God.

You know, one of those things. Being a bad mom is as great as, easy easy as being a great dad or something like that. Yes, yes, you've seen it. No, that's okay, that's lovely. What about your body though? Like, do you work out? I mean, you definitely work out,

but aren't you just like, do I still have to do that? Like, isn't it all wrapped up in what used to be your career? I did that for a while. Like, I'm not doing that. But then my body started feeling like shit. Yeah. And I also, I realized that when I work out,

it makes me happy. It like releases an endorphin that like, yeah, it sucks during it and I fucking hate it. But like afterwards, the sense of accomplishment, the sense of making yourself better, the sense of taking time to improve you in your mental state that naturally is involved with it, it's therapeutic. Yes, I like every day doing,

I like to do a workout that destroys me because I like every day being like, I just wanna quit, I hate this, and then persevering past that point gives you just such a, it makes me feel like I've done something in a day where maybe I haven't done anything. But I love to get to the point of wanting to die. But also like, where you're like, I think I'm gonna die

and then you get past it, but like also with, like you used to have these ultra bursts of adrenaline and dopamine playing the game of, and fear and nervousness and then suddenly it's like not that, so you gotta go say yes to Roast. You gotta say yes to live shows. Like isn't, it's getting that up for you again. That's where I'm getting it.

Cause we're addicted to that feeling, even though it's like uncomfortable. That's exactly right. That is exactly right. Like all this shit, like I just did an audition for something and like it was my first audition and I'm having to run like a sex scene pretty much with the dude over Zoom.

Oh my God. And it was like, this is so uncomfortable. Like what are we, but then I was like afterwards, like, oh yeah, that's, I got a rep. I get it now. Like that's, I was so uncomfortable for this. You got a rep, yes. And now like.

The next time it won't be so difficult. It won't be so terrible. To fuck a guy over Zoom. Yeah, literally. I still can't believe you didn't get it. I don't know if I didn't get it. Oh, you didn't know? Oh, you don't know yet?

No, I definitely didn't get it. You'll know when the show airs and it's not you. That's how they tell you. Yeah, but I didn't get it. Fingers still crossed, baby. I'm sure it was great. There's always those moments where you're like, how did he not get that?

Yeah, I'm sure you did great. Good job. No, so. But yeah, it feels good to feel scared. Like, sometimes I get complacent about performing where I don't get nervous anymore, and that used to be a part of it for me, is like, what's gonna happen out there? And sometimes I'll just like,

smoke a little too much weed or something right before I go on stage, because I wanna be like, what's gonna happen? Like, I wanna like, make myself feel scared again. And I think that sometimes, like, weed is my one drug that I come kind of like, I gave up alcohol 12 years ago, but weed is the one that I come in and out of.

And I think I always grab it when I literally want anxiety in my life, where I'm not getting enough because I'm getting too used to this thing that used to give it to me, because I love those spikes. And I'm not getting them from stand up, but it doesn't like performing in front of a crowd doesn't do it.

Unless there's like someone famous there, someone like, I don't know, like sometimes, or someone who's there to see me and I'm auditioning for something, then I don't need that. But sometimes I will, I will just, like last night I had a really big slit up my skirt. I'm like, try to make them laugh

with like your pussy hanging out. Like, see if like, like, it wasn't hanging out, but it was so distracting. Like it was all the way up this slit. I would have never worn something so slutty on stage, but I just bought a skirt that was too short. And I was like, I have nothing else to wear. And I'm like, okay, this is a hurdle

I will have to overcome on stage. Take me seriously, try to listen to me while you can see my right labia. And they did, I was able to get laughs. So I just have these little things that I put in place to scare me again. Now when you go do something like the roast or the Golden Globes and you're in full like comic mode,

like you're touring, cause you're on a tour right now, right? Yeah, yeah, I'm always touring forever. There's no like, comedians have, it looks like we have like tours because my tour now is called Alive and Unwell. I just named it that for the stretch of dates. Like it's, it'll be named something different the next time,

but there's no like, I'm gonna book these dates and that's the tour and when it's over, I'm gonna go on vacation. I never stopped touring. If I have a weekend off, it's, I'm not on vacation. I went to go see Taylor Swift on Aira's tour and I'm back at it the next weekend. There's no way.

You haven't even seen my shirt. Let's go, baby. I saw your shirt, I love it so much. I was, I'm sorry, if we talk about Taylor Swift, we won't stop. All right. So I'm waiting. All right, all right.

But you were gonna ask me about being on tour, comic mode, getting to. Yeah, how do you go from, like, how do you go from, like, do you just change your hat? Like, do you use a lot of your, what you use in your standup in when you're going and doing a show or at the roast or how do you, what's your mindset going into different things?

I mean, for the roast, it was like, this is the most important performance of my life. This could change everything. So you took it that way. Oh yeah, cause I've done them before for Comedy Central when they weren't live on Netflix. And even those were like the important performance of my life. This could change everything. So you took it that way. Oh yeah, because I've done them before for Comedy Central when they weren't live on Netflix. And even those were like the biggest moments of my career that really did change everything. I think it is the biggest moment,

aside from the Golden Globes actually, which I wouldn't have said until I got it. And then I was like, oh wait, I think this is the biggest moment a comedian can have. Hosting the Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, and then I think a roast set is the biggest debut or like a performance of a comedian's life. I mean, my special did well.

I think four or five million people watched that. How many people watched the roast? Like 20 million? Like it's like, it doesn't compare. I was in Brazil and some dude comes up to me and I was like, oh, this guy sees me, he's like, comedian on roast? I'm like, no, football player. Yeah, no, not anymore.

Yeah, I know. You're comedian on roast. It's true, I just know the magnitude of it. I didn't understand how big this one would be, how little there would be in the news that week that we were the only things in the news that week. Like honestly, it's just kind of luck. Timed up.

The clips of us were going crazy because there was nothing really else going on that week. It was a Sunday night, it felt like a Super Bowl. Everyone in America was kind of watching this thing live and it lasted for about a week of people talking about it. Like every day, I mean, my family being like, I hear someone in line behind me at Starbucks talking about you.

Like that's never happened to me in my career. So it was like, it was that big. So I fucking got together a team and was like, let's write the best jokes ever made. And then let me just run the set every single night. Let's have meetings in between sets to determine which jokes stay, which words we tweak. Should I say, he puts the tard in retarded,

or should I say, puts the tard in retard? Which one's funnier? Let's have an hour long discussion about which one's funnier. Should I say I entered a lottery to suck Tom Brady's dick, or a raffle? Which word is funnier? That kind of minute detail of like, let's take a vote.

Raffle or lottery to suck Tom Brady's dick? It was, because it does come down to like that word could change everything. And so- Jules got drafted to suck Tom's dick. Oh, roast mode, Kyler, ooh. I liked it, I liked it. But I, and then the same with Golden Globes,

like that's why I know I'm gonna be fine on the Golden Globes is because I did this roast and I know the exact training process I need to kill it. It's in place. So did you get the Golden Globes because of the roast, do you think? 100%, without question. What other opportunities do you get, you think?

I mean, just famous people wanting to be friends with me. Honestly, I mean, once you are in the spotlight, famous people suddenly are like, oh, I've always loved you, and they've never seen anything you've done except the roast. Which one, who? I don't wanna say names, because I really,

I just wanna be friends with these people who only like me for my fame. What about the one person who may be a little too famous that probably won't be anything, it may have just been a text. There's gotta be one that, you know, there's probably not gonna go down the friend friend friend road.

Who, can I, I mean, JWoww mean J Woww. No, she did write me. I mean at this point I really have expunged it from my memory, but it was like a lot of blue check marks sliding in and following and saying I'm a fan. And it's turned into some actual, there's a thing coming out soon. Someone reached, one of the most famous people in the world reached out to me to have me do something with them that I would have never thought in a million years I would ever be in the same room as this person and now I'm like, I get to know them because they saw me on the roast and liked it

and reached out. So stuff like that is happening. I mean, my touring has, like I don't have to really promote shows anymore. People just show up because they know who I am. Like, and that's, I'm not bragging. This is just, this is stuff that is in my 20 year career. I've had to like constantly be like,

Sacramento, I'm coming to town this week. Bring a friend. Tag your friend who lives in Sacramento. Like have to make up a song about Sacramento. You got some good saltwater taffy in Sacramento. Okay, I would have had to make some joke about and bought a bunch of it and shoved it in my mouth. I go Sacramento and made some real.

And now I don't have to do that stuff as much. And, but with that comes more pressure of like, you know, that set was so tight and so perfect. And my standup is not that. My standup's looser, my standup's personal, my standup's storytelling, it's not roast jokes. So it does leave an expectation of, there was a big fear at first of like,

oh, people are gonna come see me on tour wanting to see, like have me roast their city, but they're gonna hear me talk about how my knee skin looks like, you know, I look at my knee skin and they look like dead presidents faces or something like, like talk about aging, like my aging body or like I'm talking about my depression and like and that's gonna confuse them and they're gonna be mad and they're gonna want their money back. Like I had all these like these fears of like yeah now I have to perform at that level every

time and it's just not possible because of the work that went into just that seven minute set. Like I can't do that for everything I do. But now it's been a couple months out and I'm like, I've reset and been like, it's okay that you don't have to always deliver on that level. No, like people, I've saw a little bit of you before. People are attracted to how you deliver your joke

and like you could say anything, but you're very funny. So I think you should taper your, to just getting yourself better and keeping it and people are always gonna come. Cause I think you're right. I just have to not work from a place of what do people want from me? And I just have to really tap into like,

what do, what's like the most authentic version of myself? I think that luckily, authenticity is really a commodity right now, and it hasn't always been, it almost was never a commodity in this business. It was always about like being fake and acting like you're perfect, which I always wanted to be.

It was one of the reasons I wanted to be in Hollywood is like, they seem perfect and I'm not and I want people to think I'm perfect. And then you get in and the more that I am just myself, the more good things happen to me. And thank God because it's something that I found really easy to do is to be myself. Now, did being yourself get you invited

into the chief's text chain, like the celebrity text chain, there's like John Hamm and. No, what the fuck? This is the first I'm hearing of it. Oh. Wait, it's John Hamm, it's Rob Riggle. Riggle. It's Eric Stone Street.

Brad Pitt. Heidi Gardner. Heidi, Heidi Gardner's in it? No, no, no, Heidi, yeah, Heidi Gardner from SNL, yeah. Yeah, Heidi Gardner. She deserves to be in it, she's been a long time chief fan. She's OG. I went to KU, University of Kansas. Rock Chalk, maybe.

I started Rock Chalk and then I started doing comedy. My freshman year of college, I went to CU Boulder. But Paul Rudd, yeah. Fuck, I gotta get in this. Actually, it's too much pressure. I don't, honestly. Jason Sudeikis. I don't want this pressure of texting celebrities. It's too much, cause you feel like you gotta get right back to them. And if you say the wrong thing. I don't want this pressure of texting celebrities.

It's too much, because you feel like you got to get right back to them. And if you say the wrong thing. It's too- He's playing cool. It's too easier said. I don't know how to, do you know how to do it? Don't you get anxiety? Oh, the other day Bon Jovi was giving you shit

for the number thing. Weren't you a little anxious texting with Bon Jovi? No, he- You blocked him. I was anxious because he said I big leagueed him. Right, but like isn't that, you obviously didn't. Nah. Yeah, well now I don't know, so sure.

No, not at all. But like, I'm worried about coming across the wrong way sometimes, and it's just like the other day, a really famous person FaceTimed me to thank me for doing the thing that I was just talking about. Let me just tell you who it is like that. Oh wow. Okay, so that person FaceTimed me

after we got done with this thing to be like, hey, I just wanna say good job. FaceTime, I'm at a restaurant and I just clicked ignore. Because I was like, I can't handle, I can't fucking handle this. And this person is not something you can pick up in a public space to be like, hi. So I was doing them a favor, but I also was like,

I don't even wanna call them. I can't handle having this person on my phone. And I literally had to take 20 minutes to be like, what should I write back? And I was at lunch with my friend, it ruined our lunch. Cause I was like, I can't have this going on in my life. Like- What I do?

What? Cause I have like way famous friends that like I have no business. I mean, you're way famous. Yeah, no, not like that. But I just I set the expectation for my text behavior at a real low standard. OK. And so like you just don't text back. And then and then and then and then the one day like, oh, then you drop a reminder. Oh, hey, how you doing?

Sorry, I got like a few days late. So then they- So you'll not return famous people's texts too? Not like that, but like if I'm in the middle of something, like, and then I'm a football player, I got hit, so I'll forget about it. Oh, that's good, you have that excuse. Yeah, sorry.

But not excuse, a real thing, I'm sure. CT is real. Yeah, it is, it is. And we joked about it a lot that night Because what else are you gonna do cry? It's too sad We'll be right back after this quick break History is filled with strange unusual and unexpected stories stories about people who have accomplished extraordinary things pets that have gone above and beyond

Now I was watching your special on HBO and the first thing that came to my mind like when I was done is like,

I wonder if Nikki Glaser talks like this at like Thanksgiving with her family. Yes, yes. Like I wonder if Nikki Glaser talks like this at like Thanksgiving with her family. Yes, I always have. I wanna see you at a holiday dinner. Like how is it? I've curbed it. Like it was always that way in my childhood

of not being so much as funny as just saying. Or in class as a kid. Well, I was totally shy as a kid. I just was terrified of being made fun of or I really thought I was ugly, and I just didn't want boys to make fun of me. So I was really shy in school and never spoke at all. But in terms of like around my family,

or around friends and friends' family, I just never had any filter. And I quickly learned like, you can't say this, like people just look at me like, why would you say that? So there was a lot of that going on. And you learn, okay, there's something lot of that going on and you learn, okay, there's something wrong with me that I ask these questions and that I have these curiosities.

And I wasn't trying to be funny. I was really curious how many people my dad slept with before he met my mom. Like when I was 11, I found out that you can like sleep with people before you marry someone. And I was like, I'm just curious, dad, how many women have you slept with before mom? And I asked it in a van ride on the way to Michigan

with like our whole family in this van. And I asked it as like, we're pulling out of the driveway. And I'll never forget, cause my dad said nothing. He didn't say anything the rest of the drive home. So maybe he was calculating in his head, but he, it was just dead silence. So I just, that feedback, and my family is not one to just be like, we're not gonna talk.

Like it just, I could tell like I had offended everyone to their core and it was like really shameful. So I think I grew up feeling the things I was curious about the things I wanted to talk about sex and just gross stuff was like shameful. And like, you're like not a normal girl. Like you're talking kind of like an autistic boy. You know, like there's something wrong with you.

And so I just stopped until I did comedy. And then I was like, oh, I could get paid for talking like this. Do we have an autistic family member now? Did you get the results? No, no, yeah, that was the joke of my special. No, not yet, but I was, I might have a touch of it, which is fine, I wish I did,

because I think it's an amazing thing, but I, yeah. You ever think you're gonna find out how many? How many what? People that my dad slept with? I think it's innumerable. I mean, I think that it was, he was a hot guy in the 60s and 70s. And he was like the cool kid on campus. He's a musician.

Like there's no telling how many brothers and sisters I have out there. Yeah, no, it's the man I love when he pops up on social. Oh, thank you so much. He's so cool. He is he's really I have such a supportive family, which is is is really rare for a female comic. And like for for me, knowing I wanted to do this since I was in high school which is really rare for a female comic. And for me, knowing I wanted to do this since I was in high school, or in college,

actually is when I found standup, but them always supporting me, I really lucked out of them not being like, you can't do this, because it wasn't going well for a while. I mean, that's a great support system to have someone always, I mean, I had a great support system.

You did. I did. Yeah. When you're talking about the van story popped up, there's a story. I was like 13, my brother was 20, my sister was 11, and my brother was in the front seat and we're going to Half Moon Bay for like a lunch.

My mom's in here, my sister's in the way back of the suburban and I'm fucking with my brother. Like he's in the front seat, so I'm like messing with his head. He goes, Julie, stop fucking touching me. And I keep on doing it and he swears and my mom goes, Jason, watch your mouth. He goes, mom, you know what a 13 year old boy does

with his hands all day? Especially with a computer. From left field, my little sister who's 11 years old from the back seat. Are you guys talking about jacking off? Oh my God. I'm sitting here as a 13 year old boy and my dad sitting there like laughing.

I'm like about to cry. Oh, I'm sure. There's nothing more humiliating to a 13 year old boy than being called out for masturbating. laughing, I'm like about to cry. This is- Oh, I'm sure. There's nothing more humiliating to a 13 year old boy than being called out for masturbating. When your mom and your sister, little sister, mom, and so we go to this lunch and I'm so sad, I'm like embarrassed as fuck.

We get to this lunch and I go, may I be excused to go to the bathroom, please? Oh no. No. And my mom goes, where are you going to jack off? No. I love her. Angie.

Mom, no. I can see you just stomping off. I was like, oh, I just put my head down. Because you had probably just started jacking off. Yeah. It is your little secret that you think no one else knows about. It is your little shameful thing that you do.

I had an older brother though, so you know what I mean? You kind of knew a lot about stuff like that. Okay, that's good. That does help a lot. Yeah, seven years older too. Oh, then yeah. You, he taught you the ropes. We shared a room.

I remember he had girlfriends and stuff. And you're 38 now, so 13, you were getting the internet. Oh yeah, AOL, Dial Up. I mean, I think we may have had 6,000 viruses from all the porn I downloaded from BearShare. Yes, oh my God. Maybe 6,000. Still on BearShare, Napster.

I mean, we were in the early stage. Wait, you guys were downloading porn? Like, I didn't get into that, downloading porn? Like on LimeWire and Napster? We were downloading music. I didn't know you could download porn. Why would you do that if you could just play it on a website?

No, you couldn't. You couldn't yet. Oh, you couldn't. It was just pictures? No, you could. You didn't think it wasn't fast enough. That's so true. Okay, I just remember tits going like,

brr, brr, brr, you know, like that. But I guess I never looked at video. Wow, okay. The Pam Anderson sex tape's probably still downloading on my pants. Yeah, it took I guess I never looked at video. Wow, okay, that makes sense. The Pam Anderson's sex tape's probably still downloading on my page. Yeah, it took like five days to download a video. 77% right now. Oh man, that's so, what a great family you have.

That sounds really fun. I didn't know how to masturbate until, like I didn't know anyone masturbated until, like none of my girlfriends, all my girlfriends were doing it. We were best friends. We talked about everything. We literally, sisters shared everything. They were all masturbating and no one ever told me about it.

All someone had to do was like, listen, there's this thing that you can do and it feels great. It never occurred to me to do it. And then I probably start, I tried in college because by then I had heard about it and I'm like, this doesn't, it's like learning a new language.

You gotta start young. you gotta start young. You gotta start young. Otherwise it's just. You're like a sponge. It is, it would've been nice. When you're young, you're like a sponge. Yes, yes. You learn more, quicker.

I mean, like, I got a seven-year-old. Say anything around her. Oh my God, yes. There. She's a girl? Little girl. Seven, oh, that's fun. That's so cute, that's a good, is that a good age?

It's a great age. What's the cutest thing she's done or said recently? I love hearing this. And I'm sorry if you can't remember, cause I know there's a lot. No. It doesn't mean you're a bad person. Parents are always just like, I don't know.

She, so I let her, in the morning, I'll let her like, when we drive to school, it's like a 25 minute ride, and we'll listen to like Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and I'll listen to Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and I'll start making up a song. Like, Lily's going to school. Da da da da.

And then she'll, I'll let her do it, and she'll be like, daddy is a butt sniffer. Like, I let her swear if she can rhyme it, cause I'm teaching her rhyming, you know what I mean? Yeah, no. So like, she did that this morning. That really makes me happy, because I think that like,

girls need to, like I think little girls don't get to make butt sniffer jokes and fart jokes and poop jokes. Like I really do feel like that's why people say women aren't funny or whatever because when you're young, what's funny to you is butts and farts and poop and boys can kind of make those jokes and it's not disgust like it's it's naughty but it's not it's not it's not it's not it's not

it's not it's not disgusting. It's expected from a boy. You're not like why would you say that but little girls making fart or poop jokes I mean back when I did it it was just like no one's ever gonna want to date you you are disgusting girl and it's like it's different and so when you're told as a girl you can can't be, when your joke arsenal is stolen from you as a child, you can't joke about these things, you just are like, I guess I'm not supposed to be funny because it's not ladylike. And so it's not that women aren't funny.

It's like women aren't allowed to be funny early on. It gets taken from us. It's changed, it's changing. So keep, I love that your daughter's singing about this shit. Yeah, it's definitely, I mean, when we're, what's that new song? By Billie Eilish, Lunch.

Oh yeah. She knows every fucking word of that song. So I think things- Isn't it about eating pussy? Yes, it's about eating her friends like best pussy. Yeah. But she doesn't know, because your daughter's just full of metaphor.

There'll be a swear word and I hear it and I'll look back and she's like, I didn't say it, I didn't say it. That's so cute. It's like us with the n-word when we rap Let's go back into time And segue to a segment where we go around where the game took place and we talk about pop culture I think you got dip in my lip. On this day, January 21st, 2024, the number one movie was Mean Girls. That was a reboot, right?

The reboot, yeah, the music. Reboot. I missed it. I missed it too. I did too. But I was wrong too because anything Tina Fey does is incredible. She's gas, she's goaded. She's funny.

She's amazing. She's one of the greatest of all time. What what else was she what else is she in 30 Rock? I've been watching 30 Rock lately. Mean Girls, SNL, Sarah Palin, Sarah Palin She just has great quotes all the time. She was like she's I forget I should memorize this cuz I quote it all the time But it's something about how a woman is called crazy when she has an opinion and no one wants to fuck her. Like something about, just a good commentary on like women getting older.

Like if you aren't fuckable anymore, like no one wants to hear anything you have to say and we'll call you crazy. And I- That's a Mark Twain level quote. That's it. I butchered it, but it's something like that that really sums up.

Baby mama too, baby mama was fine. Baby mama. Girls 5ever is actually was fine. Baby mama. Girls 5ever is actually underrated. Oh yeah, absolutely. Anything she touches is gonna be amazing. But 30 Rock, one of the best shows of all time, you can put it on at any time.

If you sneeze, you'll miss a joke. That's one of the ones, if I'm feeling kind of dumb and like, oh, my brain isn't working, I'm not funny anymore, I'll just watch a ton of 30 Rock or Veep, and just binging those shows literally makes you funnier. If you're out there being like, how do I become funny? Watch 30 Rock or Veep because the rapid fire machine gun style of jokes and that, it just like,

you can't help but kind of absorb it. Yeah, yeah. That's a good pro tip. My mom watches 30 Rock. Chini Faye's been around for, she's been around for a while, too. She's amazing. So shout out her.

Shout out her. Number one song, Love It On Me by Jack Harlow. Which one is that, Jack? I'm vanilla, baby. I choke you, but I ain't no killer, baby. You remember that one? I've never heard a sing. I mean, I know I have heard a single song of his,

but I've never consciously listened to one. And I'm sure I'd love it, though. I hear he's great. It's catchy. I don't like no way. Remember I'm sure I'd love it though. I hear he's great. It's catchy. I don't like no, remember that one? Uh uh, no way out. I can't believe.

Where was I? January 21st. No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no I missed that too. Something was going on for me this week. I just didn't partake in that for some reason. I mean, I watched all the clips. I watched the clips and I heard people like tell me what happened in it. And yeah, I hear it was hilarious, but I don't know anything else about it. You're gonna meet Kathleen?

You know what, I was gonna maybe do a joke about Kevin Hart that was referenced from that. I did. Of saying like he won't wear a dress or something. I'm not gonna wear a dress. What was that? I called. Oh yeah, that was referenced from that. I did. Of saying like, he won't wear a dress or something. I'm not gonna wear a dress. What was that? I called. Oh yeah, that was said in the interview.

Yeah. I called Burt Kreischer's liver is so black, it just did three hours on the Shannon Sharpe podcast. Yes, that was so good. That was so good. Jeff Ross, like at the Comedy Store was like, you know what's even funnier and even more black is if you said four hours.

And I think it was four hours you did it and from three hours it actually was funnier. See, you're right, like three and four, there's a difference of a laughter you could get. That's what I like about comedy, is those little intricacies, that's so interesting. Yeah, have you ever met Cat Williams? No, no, he's an enigma.

I feel like he's the prince of comedy. He definitely is the prince of comedy. Right? I love Cat. I'm scared to meet him. Like he might just like, just the way he'll look at me or look through me or not look at me. Oh, I don't think I could handle it. Oh my God.

Yeah. I mean, he fought a 12 year old lost and then came back and is still killing it. That takes some, that takes some. He fought a 12 year old. Yes bro, he was on Worldstar like 10 years ago. Oh my God. He got dumped out like a 10 year old, 12 year old kid.

What was that one stand up he did in like mid 2000s? Oh the one where he's got the green on? The green, yeah that was preference all the time. That thing, he was funny as fuck and he sweats the whole time. Yeah, no. He's a tall guy. Michael Jackson bit, that's a great one.

In the sports world, the Super Bowl champions were the Kansas City Chiefs. Shout out. Shout out. Lamar Jackson was the MVP National Champions, was Michigan Heisman Trophy winner, now Commander's quarterback, Jaden Daniels. You know anything about the new rookies?

I know that a rookie did really well the other night in the Chiefs game. Is that your worthy? Worthy. Yeah, worthy. Great name. That's football fan right game. Is that your worthy? Worthy. Yeah, worthy. Great name. That's football fan right there. Yeah, yeah, I'm learning.

I'm paying attention. Do you know who Victor Wimbyama is? I don't know. He's like the tall, I can't say his name, but he's a Frenchman that's supposed to be the next Michael Jordan. Oh my God, okay. Silver medal winner.

Silver medal winner. Holy shit. He's like 7'6". 7'4". And he can shoot. 7'4"? 20 years old, yeah. And he can shoot people out. He's probably gonna winner. Holy shit. He's like seven six. Seven four. And he can shoot. Seven four? 20 years old, yeah.

And he can shoot people up. He's probably gonna get three more inches, I bet. What? Why? Cause he's not done growing. Really? How old is he? He's only 20.

20. Seven foot, two 10. Oh, whoa, my God. Crazy, crazy. There's like guy, like Anthony Davis was like a point guard in college. Like he was like six foot three, and then by point guard in college like he was like six foot Three and then by the time he left he was 6 11. Oh my god

It's crazy. He's as long as his name Yeah, do you watch baseball at all? You know, I i'm from st. Louis so I go to cardinals games, but I don't pay attention to it Yeah, well, they put a pitch clock on okay speeds up the game All right, and then the first the first super bowl in vegas. I was there you were there. Yeah, well they put a pitch clock on. Okay, cool. So it speeds up the game. All right. And then the first Super Bowl in Vegas. I was there. You were there?

Yeah, I got to go. It was so much fun. I'll never miss another Super Bowl again. I go to ERA's tour. I've been to a bunch of her shows, too many. I've been to 18 in a year and a half. And I'm addicted to just arena events, like stadium events. And I felt that same way at the Super Bowl. I thought it to just arena events,

stadium events. And I felt that same way at the Super Bowl. I thought it was just the Taylor Swift effect. Obviously, I'm a huge fan, but I was like, no, I just like being with people who are just psyched to be at this thing that they have been anticipating for so long. You just feel the energy and it was awesome.

I'll never miss another Super Bowl, I don't think. So you're going to New Orleans. I'll pay whatever. Yeah, I'm going to New Orleans. That'll be fun. I'm another Super Bowl, I don't think. So you're going to New Orleans? I'll pay whatever, yeah, I'm going to New Orleans. I'm doing a show, I shouldn't, well, I'm doing, there will be a fun announcement about something going on around. Ooh. Yeah, yeah. Hopefully I can make a something announcement.

Yeah. Or make it to a something announcement. Wait, are you, do you go to every Super Bowl now? Yeah, I work for the, yeah. Oh yeah, you work. Fox is doing the Super Bowl this year, baby. Yeah, it's. Or I'm a Fox guy. God, you work. Fox is doing the Super Bowl this year, baby. Oh my God. Yeah.

It's... Or I'm a Fox guy. God. You're a Fox guy. Fox guy. Sweet. We might have a set up at Radio Row. Yeah.

Oh nice. I swear we saw it. Yeah, I think that's where I'm gonna go. Yeah, that's where I was last year. I was too scared to come say I was a fan when I saw you this year. Wait, did you say that? I feel like I met you before. I don't know.

We were the cool guys at Radio Row just rocking around. Yeah, yeah. I'll be there. That was so fun. Wait, I don't know. We just have that effect on people. We were the cool guys at Radio Rage. Rocking around. Yeah, yeah. I'll be there. That was so fun.

Wait, maybe the big, are you gonna be up there with Kendrick at halftime? Is that the announcement? Yeah, yeah. I'm doing a such quite, a tight five. That would be so hilarious for a standup to do the halftime show.

To break it off, Negi Glaser. That'd be so sick. So disappointing. All right, Jackie, let's break down these Buffalo Bills and get into the game. Let's do it. We have to.

What the fuck is all this shit? OK. We'll keep it extra tight. And I'll ask questions along the way. Because I don't know what. For the heads out there, 11 and 6 this year, Sean McDermott was the head coach. Ken Dorsey got fired mid-year.

Same quarterback coach. Joe Brady? No, me and Ken Dorsey when I was in high school. Charlie Fry. Roger Theeder. Whoa. Shout out. Ken Dorsey and I.

He got replaced mid-year. I know. Do you want to be an offensive coordinator? Absolutely not. Okay, exactly. No. Yeah. I never want to be a coach.

Really? Why? Because when I would leave my 14 hour day at 8 o'clock, haven't seen sunlight other than for practice, and I'd be leaving in the parking lot, you would see the coaches seeing their kids before their next meeting. Oh my god. And they were there like three hours before us. Those guys work, those guys work a lot. Yeah. They work a lot. That visual is so sad. Like meeting in the parking lot for like five minutes. If you don't like your family though, it's cool.

Yeah. And then it rocks. It's true. It's a good point. You know, sometimes these standups do like, you know, so and so came in and did a seven hour set. And I'm like, he just is about to get a divorce. Like he just doesn't want to go home.

Do you see what's happening? He doesn't have a passion for standup. He doesn't want to be alone with his family. It's not a, it's not dedicated to the art. His wife's a cunt. And she should be. He's cheating on her, right? Like, or whatever it is.

Sorry, I said cunt. You can say whatever you want. Oh good, okay good.unt. You can say whatever you want. Oh, good, okay, good. Fox. Oh my goodness. You're on Fox. This isn't Fox though. I know, I know. This is Nut House.

This is the Nut House. Okay. And then when the AFC- Oh, Joe Brady took over. Yes. Okay. After Dorsey got fired. Why was Dorsey fired? They were kind of stalling early.

The offense wasn't even. They were stinky. Jared or Josh Allen, you know what? They were turning the ball over and they weren't running. Then they started running the ball. So do a lot of changes happen throughout the season? Like people are let go and like. The rosters couldn't.

You're just never comfortable? Never. Never. Fuck. Unless you're like, there's like, but even the comfortable guys, I mean, who are like the superstars they have a Pressure that's on them for the standard that they have to go out and perform at every week, right? So there's guys that are trying to make the team there's guys that are trying to get a role

So even the comfortable guys are uncomfortable. It's wait. What do you think about Belichick on Instagram? I haven't even really seen them. I need real Bill. Okay. Okay, this is too, I need, if you wanna see real Bill. Yeah, he seems like a hostage. Right now, you gotta, what you've actually said in the group chat. I literally said that in a more charisma

than like an ISIS hostage video this morning. Hey guys, great to be here. Like what? No, he just, what you gotta do is. It's adorable. It's giving grandpa Instagram, and I like it. You lock him in a room with just like the worst football plays ever,

and let him break down, and like surprise him with it, and like just watch his face, and like, you'll see the real Bill there. Dude, that's a great thing for his social media team to do. Did you hear that? That's what he should do. His third podcast, that's what we'll do for him. Maybe, yeah.

That's good. Bro, seriously, that's what he should be That's what we'll do for him. Maybe, yeah. That's good. Whoa, seriously, like, that's what he should be doing, not whatever this other crap is. Yeah, but enough of that. Whatever. But yeah, Dorsey was fired, Joe Brady took over. They surged after their bi-week. What's a bi-week?

That means you get a week off. Okay, you call it bi-week. Everyone gets one week off during the season. Oh, I didn't know that. So you have a chance to recover or get healthy. It's different for every team, which is crazy. Yeah, so it comes in different times each year. All right, learning stuff.

Luck of the draw. Now have you been to Buffalo? Yeah, we've performed there a lot. It's probably a fun crowd. Yeah, they're great. They're rowdy, but they like stand up a lot. You gotta go to a game over in Buffalo at Old Richard. I love Bill's fans.

The Bill's fans. The people in my life that are Bill's fans are great. They are so crazy. Yeah. They're insane, but they're like great people. Were they the ones like throwing rocks? No, they're the ones that jump off, like off their motor home on like a on fire table

and like drink a beer and then like jump 20 feet off and like break the table. That's on fire. That's dedication. They throw something else though. That's passion. They did throw a dildo on our field. They did? That's hilarious.

I was sitting there. Okay, that doesn't hurt anyone. No. So they go, we're in the middle of a game and we get an incompletion and walking over and there's a, and I see this pink thing come on, like what the hell is that? And there's a dildo on the field

and it says Brady's dildo or something. And I look at, and the refs see it and the refs are sitting there, no one wants to touch it. Everyone- No one wants to pick it up. No one wants to pick it up, everyone's like, ah. Like that's what the Bills fans do. And it's happened multiple times. That's so funny. wants to pick it up, everyone's like, like that's what the Bills fans do.

And it's happened multiple times. That's so funny. Because they have to like buy one off Amazon for like 40 bucks. There it is. Ah! Ah! I didn't know it had a face.

I didn't either. That's a good one. Yeah, so. That's cute. They got a sense of humor. That's why I mean, it's gotta be a great crowd. Yeah, they're funny. They're fun.

And like, it's rare that people just wanna laugh. And if the room is dark, that's the only time where like a room cannot be great is when the crowd is lit. Like if you go to a comedy show and the crowd's lit, like you're in the audience and you're like, everyone's gonna see me laughing. And if I laugh at something,

they'll think that that's what I think or that's what I've done. And so the audience can be a little bit more cagey, but if they're in the dark, they just let loose and it's always great, but you gotta get them in the dark. That's a big, and that's why Golden Globes is terrifying because it's all people who are like so aware of being seen and it's brightly lit.

So like if they laugh, they're cosigning on that joke. And so it's going to be very delicate to write jokes. You'll be all right. I'll be all right. I'll be all right. You'll be all right. Thank you so much. Jack, break down these chiefs. Yeah, we're wrapping up the Bills real quick.

They won the AFC East for the fourth year in a row. This was Gabe Davis, Stefan Diggs, Josh Allen. Good team. Dalton King K, all those guys. A lot of dudes on that squad. Do you want to get in the chiefs real quick? Cooke. Von Miller.

Cooke had a big year that year. Wait, did you, hold on, sorry. I'm so sorry, can you go back? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you see the, I think it was maybe on Sports Center, the reel of all the guys in the locker room being asked, who would you least like to date your daughter? Yes. And they all said Stephon Diggs.

Yes, yes. And then it got to Stephon Diggs, he was really kind of like, who would I, and they're like, well, we gotta say, everyone doesn't think you, they all, I wish I could say what I really wanna say, but it's like they were all, how did, they couldn't really tell you why they didn't want,

but we can only assume what this man. You got traded not too long after that video. Really, okay. That was really funny, okay, sorry. I thought I recognized it. It's so funny. Do you know Stefan? We've talked on the internet.

I guess he's just a wacky guy. And that's why they don't want their daughters dating him, because he's just so crazy. He likes to have a lot of fun. I was like, what are you not saying? Will you all tell us what you've witnessed? Jesus Christ. You got to ask the women down in Houston these days.

I don't know. No, he seemed like a great guy. He was shocked that they all said him to. It was so good. Maybe they had a play on him. Jack, you'll get in these chiefs real quick. 11 and six, Andy Reed, Matt Nagy, Spags. We know that coaching staff lost four games at home this year. This was kind of considered like a like an iffy year for the chiefs, which is why I say

Travis Kelsey Patrick Mahomes Chris Jones held out a little bit for the year. They got that figured out is a Pacheco But shake a huge huge part of their game run so hard what a beast Willie Gay all these guys Nick Bolden won the AFC West for the eighth straight season. They own that division Yeah, was she Rice emerged too. Yep, Beast. Now, we will give you the open mic to take us through the origin story of Taylor Swift's fandom. Of like my fandom or like of like,

where do you want me to start? How come you love her? Taylor Swift was born as December 13th, 1989 on a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania. Why do I love her? I've, you know, just, she just sings my feelings and I just think she's just, you know, Beatles level of brilliant musician.

And, you know, I'm sure there's a part of it that's like she kind of, she's blonde and she's tall and she kind of reminds me of me and she's like, what I wish I could do, but I can't so I do this. She's just the personification of everything I'd wanna be. She's a glitzy, glamorous performer, and she's poetic and she's so smart and she's so poised

and she seems to do no wrong. She's everything I would want to be. And I just love her. But I also like, she's just, her music just brings me so much joy. And that's why when people are like, are you friends with her? I'm like, I don't even need that.

Like I like her as my favorite musician. Like I don't need, like that's, she means so much to me in my life as that, that if we became friends or some like, and there was somehow, I don't know, like there was, if it ever could jeopardize my enjoyment of her music getting to know her, which I don't think it would,

but you know, sometimes if you meet your heroes, it doesn't add up to what you have in your head. No fault of hers, I'm not saying this would happen, but I can't risk losing what her music means to me in my life. So, but anyway, I- What's this? So you went to the Ellen show and you saw her perform and you got a calendar?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wanna hear this. So the first, yeah, my origin story with her is that I had a room, I was living in LA right out of college, trying to do standup out here. I had failed miserably after that and moved back home. But while I was here, I had a roommate that went to go see the Ellen show.

And Taylor Swift was on the Ellen show that day, and she brought home this calendar to our apartment. And I was just like, it was just like a joke to have this country girl's calendar, who we'd never heard of. And it was just on our coffee table. And we would just like, we wouldn't make fun of it because she was cute and ador-

But it was just like, why would we have this as our centerpiece? So it was like a centerpiece on our coffee table for a year. And I never even thought to listen to the girls music because I thought, oh, I don't like country. And then come to find out she's like been the most important person in my life. And like, yeah.

And I say that with like no irony. to find out she's been the most important person in my life. I say that with no irony. I'm a Swiftie and it's a part of my identity. Are you a huge fan of anything or anyone? You should be in a football. Yeah, I think it's similar. I understand the Taylor take. I'm 38, like I've been listening to her for probably like 25 years. Yeah.

And she's had like literally catchy, what is it, 20 years? It's 20 years, it's about 20 years, yeah. Like for 20 years, I remember we were listening to Love Story and stuff in college. She was a kid when she wrote that stuff. And now I have a kid, I have a seven year old daughter that loves her, we Went to her concert.

Yeah. You know, so like. But I'm 40, you know, and that's why it's like a little bit problematic. Not problematic, but of concern. That I love someone this much, but I just like, I don't know, I used to be ashamed of it, but then, because it's like,

the thing is, this is a part of my personality, and that's why I think I'm a little autistic is because I get obsessed with things in a way that everyone else that likes them doesn't. Like I want to learn everything about it. And that's all I think about and I want to get the posters and I want to get the t shirts and I want to get the merch and I want to get the hat and I want to get the pins and I get obsessive where I'm like I did it with Dave Matthews band in high school.

I've done it with Wilco. I've like I pick a thing and it's my whole being. And with Taylor, it's been that way for a while. And, but then everyone kind of got on board too. And I was like, it looks like I'm not so crazy after all. Cause everyone loves her. I mean, literally her endorsement of Kamel last night, we all kind of have hope now.

Like, because everyone, but I mean, people who've never even mentioned Taylor swept on my feed or like, thank you, Taylor, you saved democracy. And it's like, fuck right she did. Like she, this pop star might have saved democracy for us in the eyes of many people. And that maybe I wasn't wrong after all for being so obsessed with this person. She's gonna save the world.

Like, and that's not an overstatement. Like it really is, it's validating decision making. Maybe I wasn't wrong after all for being so obsessed with this person She's gonna save the world like and that's not an enough. That's not an overstatement Like it really is it's validating to see her get so much love even though I wasn't even on the ground floor of it. I mean I got on board during 1989, but yeah It's and I just loved the whole love story that we're witnessing Is it real? Oh, yeah. They getting married? No, who knows? I would predict yes. Yeah?

I would predict kids and marriage, but I don't know. Kids and marriage. That would rock, I would love that. Yeah, of course. Of course, and that'll be the moment where I go, I guess I have to have kids. People keep going, are you gonna have kids? And I go, no, until Taylor Swift does.

And then I'll go, oh God, I gotta find someone to adopt or something. Like I really, I do look to her as like, what's okay. It's okay to be in your 30s and not have kids or what. But if she does, I'll probably be like, oh, I gotta do it. But no, I do believe, there's no part of me that's ever questioned whether or not they're in love and that it's real and all of that. Like I thought that was funny that anyone thought

that that was, you know, devised or put together behind the scenes. And it's fun to watch, you know? And I think any scrutiny of it is just people being jealous because everyone's like married and bored and no one's gonna ever, unless you cheat, you're never gonna feel like, oh my God, like giddy about someone ever again.

Like, sorry, that's what monogamy is. Like, and it's great because it's steady and it's secure and there's all great things about long-term relationships, but you're never gonna have what they have ever again. And you're jealous that you're never gonna be at the US Open going like, and like kissing and like laughing. Like you don't do that with your husband of eight years, unless maybe you're drunk.

But like, I don't, I think that most people that are ever having, just saying stuff about them or rolling their eyes or being like, enough already. You're just unhappy and you're jealous. I get it. I agree. Because it's so fun to fall in love and good for her. And they'll be in a place where they're not like that.

That doesn't last. We all know that kind of infatuation with one another. Honeymoon stage. Theirs is going a while because they're on the road a lot and this is all me speculating for. Ration time. So the time they get, I mean, that's athlete life, that's entertainer life.

Yeah, and so it's going on a while, which is great for us to watch and it feels so good to watch, but they'll get to a place where it's a little bit more steady and stagnant and not as like cutesy and fun and flirty, but right now it's just so fun to watch. I'm into it. It is, and I like it because it's growing our sport.

I mean, you're a Chiefs fan, and we're- And I'm not just there to be like, when are they gonna show Taylor? I'm trying to understand the game. I'm becoming a fan of the game because of her. It's really happening. That is so cool, I love that. I'm glad you guys like it. I'm glad people understand the game. Like I'm becoming a fan of the game because of her. It's really happening. That is so cool. I love that.

I'm glad you guys like it. I'm glad like people aren't like, oh yeah, now you care. Like I'm sure there's some people like that. That's a lame take. I don't care. Those are narrow minded people. Amen. Yeah, I appreciate that.

Don't you want growth? Thank you. You want growth. You want to grow the party. Yeah, that's the way I feel about being a Swiftie is like if you want wanna jump on board now and you weren't before, I don't care, just come on in. We'll have you, like it's really fun.

Join us. Hell yeah, with open arms. And I did the game show with Travis that he hosts, the Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity? Yeah. That's coming out on Amazon, I think October 16th. How was it? So fun, I mean me as a super Swiftie, I was like, do I tell him? Like that feels like something I should disclose

if he's to be around me. Like she was on my phone as like the picture. I'm like, I should take that off. And I go, no, I'm not gonna take it off because that would mean I'm hiding something. And if he sees it, I'll say something, but I'm not gonna be like, look, you know, like, and so I didn't say anything

cause it was just not the place to be like, and I love your girlfriend and I'm so happy for you. Like it was just about getting the show done and he was so good and it was, it's just so cool to see someone like it was at the roast, like seeing you guys who are such masters at what you've done enter this new kind of thing that we're all really proficient at and just kill it

and go, oh, there's a reason they were good at that other thing too, is because they just know how to get good at things. They know how to put in the work to be great. And that's what I saw with Travis in hosting was like, he's doing something that I've watched a lot of famous people who host for a living do and not do as well as he did. And he was truly, like I've done a ton of these game shows with hosts.

Yeah, yeah. And um. He killed it, he's a charming guy. But it's not easy to read a teleprompter and like have the game play going and keep the jokes going, right? Yeah, I can't read. And he was really good at it.

It's hard. I was just like, man. Live TV, it's tough. I was happy for our girl. I just told like, I just told other Swifties that I know personally, I was like our girl chose a good guy. He's very talented and he really was nice to everyone on set and didn't big time anyone.

Like it's really easy for those hosts to kind of like, even if there's a celebrity pool of people competing and there's the host, the host sometimes will like stay apart from everyone else. He was mingling with everyone and this was like at the height of them being like they just won the Super Bowl and this was like back in the spring when we filmed this and he was just cool and humble and I really just made it made me happy for my friend Taylor. Me too.

It really felt like I met my friend's boyfriend and he was cool you know like he got the thumbs up. Yeah, one for the football boys. She doesn't need it know? He got the thumbs up. One for the football boys. She doesn't need it from me. That's right, baby. One for the football boys. He's awesome. And yeah, it's good to see, yeah.

And you as well, you're charismatic, you're good on stage. It's cool to hear that you sold out the Wilbur and had an amazing show and gonna continue to do that stuff. This ain't easy. No, it's not. But you know how to be great.

I need to ice my brain. Yeah, do you sometimes at the end of podcasts feel like you need, or just talking too much? I do talk a lot. Like just you do a podcast and you do an interview and then, cause you know you're doing a lot of this. And at home after I'm done, I just want to sit on my couch and do nothing.

Agreed. Or you get into a car, you have a car service and the driver wants to talk. And you have to because you don't want them to tell people that you were rude, because then that person will tell someone that tells someone and then suddenly there's a train of people who hear that one time you were a dick.

Thus you have to be nice. But sometimes you just wanna say. That's why I never get, like when someone says that person was an ass. I never trust it either. I never trust it because you never know that maybe his fucking dog died that day. I need three separate sources.

I need three separate instances from three different people that have a talk. And they gotta be credible sources. That they align with the same thing. Like this person didn't tip this one time, I need three separate instances from three different people that have a talk. And they gotta be credible sources. That they align with the same thing, like this person didn't tip this one time, they didn't tip this, and then I go, they're shitty. Oh, so you're a detective, you're a detective worker.

Yeah, but one time they didn't tip, you don't know the circumstances, they could have thought someone else tipped. Yes. It's happened before, so you need, you need to, everyone out there, before you judge people, get get multiple stories first. Got to get multiple stories. And we got to get the story on this game, Jackie.

We must crazy one in Orchard Park early. We trade field goals three to three in Buffalo, in Buffalo, in Buffalo. Jason Kelsey shirt off in the box. Cold night. Oh, my God. All that doesn't matter. Chugging beers is cool. Tied at the end of one, early in the second quarter, the Bills take the lead on a Josh Allen,

scramble for a touchdown, capping off a 75 yard drive. Chiefs come back with a field goal, 10-6 now. Then with under four left to play, Pat finds wide open Trav for the first TD, puts them up 13 to 10. Trav does the iconic love, love. The heart hands. He does the heart hands atay. Yeah, so sick. Oh, that the iconic love, love, the heart hands. He does the heart hands atay.

Yeah, so sick. Oh, that was so cute. Those moments are so great. Love that one. That was iconic. When he's looking up at the box, cheesing. They say he's cheesing, but he's like, I think he just, sometimes he's like looking at the scores.

Like, you know, like, I'm sure he could be looking at many things, but we just attribute everything he does. I like to think he's looking dead in the eyes atain. It's so cute. With the heart hands. That's what I think too. That was baller. But then the Bills march back down, regain the lead, 17-13 going into the half.

Wait, can I ask a question? Dumb girl question. Play it on me. Because I really want to understand, okay, what's the difference between a TD and a rushing TD? It's just the type of TD. A TD is the same thing. They're both six points.

A rushing means you ran it in. You didn't throw it. A touchdown means you threw it and someone caught it. No, touchdown is just, that's just describing. Well, a touchdown is like the thing. But a rushing means like he got through people and. Yeah, well, Pacheco's a running back. So you hand him the ball.

You don't throw him the ball, typically. And so he, someone handed him the ball and he scored a touchdown. Okay, thank you. So, but if it was like a receiver and he caught it, he would just say touchdown. Got it, okay, thank you. Good, that's a good question.

I don't know if it was, but thank you for explaining it helps. But then, early in the second. Staggered laughs throughout the week. No, no, no, we're good. I like that. Uh-huh, uh-huh. I'm just kidding.

No, no, no, we're good. I like that. Uh huh. Uh huh. I'm just kidding. Bill's, Trav comes out, gets his second TD to start the third quarter there. She's retake lead. Then we switch back, Buffalo retakes the lead on a long 15 play drive.

Then back up 24-20. Now we're into the fourth. Pacheco TD starts it off, go up 27-24. That'd be the last score of the game. Game gets a little drunk. We got the DeMar Hamlin fake punt that doesn't go through. We got the fumble through the back of the end zone. Then down to the end, a Buffalo ending, a familiar ending for the people in Buffalo. Field goal miss. Wide right. Wide right. a field goal miss wide right. Wide right.

You ever heard of wide right? Please explain that. So wide right. So the Bills went to the Super Bowl in the 90s four times in a row. Oh my God. And they lost them all. And there was like their first one they went to, they had a field goal to win the game. Was it to win or tie?

Could have been to win. Tie, tie, tie. Because the Giants won. Yeah. Yeah, it's a tie. And it was a short field goal and they missed it. So like this wide right is a term known throughout football lore that the Bills missed it. Because it went to the right wide? The kick.

Who was that kicker? That was Scott Norwood back then. Norwood. Was he like, is he okay? You remember like Ace Ventura? Like Laces Out Dan? I'm pretty sure he turned into that guy. That was based off of his character.

Oh my god. No I don't know if that's true but that's what I think. Are the Bills mad at him or were they like probably like it's okay buddy we're sad too. Like what's the vibe after something like that happens? I think it's become so a part of their identity to be losers that they now have like ownership.

OK, OK. People wear jerseys now of his too. OK, OK, good. He literally disappeared from like the public eye for a long time. He was bad. Oh, no. So he was shameful.

Yeah. And then he was like selling insurance. And then I think he's doing some real estate stuff now. OK, all right. All right. Yeah, it's a good market. It's a it's a seller's market right now.

So I don't think it is Do you remember did you watch this game, uh, yeah, definitely where uh, probably at home Did you remember do you remember jason kelsey just chugging beers? Yes, and I just Are you are you team jason or team travis moore? I don't know bias You know what? I i'm gonna go with the older brother here. I'm gonna go with Jason because I feel like he made, he's gave us what Travis is. Like a great older brother can really set the stage

for a great younger brother. Cause it's just, that's everything. Like I feel like the greatest men I know have really good influences as an older, for an older brother. And you just see that Jason's just who he is. He's really funny. He's, he cares a lot.

He has a lot of heart. He's not like, even though you would say a guy taking off his shirt and chugging beers in the box is like dying for attention and like, he just is trying to make a statement. No, that's just who he is. That's a really good point. It's like there's nothing showboaty about him even though he's a showboat.

And I really, I just, I love him and I think he's like, you know, I think that whole family has a lot of heart and it's just a great close tight knit family. But I think Jason has just been a great example and mentor for Travis. I mean, I have no idea, but I just feel like, yeah. I love them both though. Just a couple Ohio boys. Yeah, I'm Ohio girl

Yeah, so yeah. In fact when I met Travis Kelsey, I was so nerf like I on the show together We I was great because it's on camera and I'm like professional nice but then he was you know making small talk during a stop down on the show and was like and it came up during the Show that I'm from Ohio, or was born there, and he goes, well, what part of Ohio are you from? Because he went to college there, and I couldn't remember where I was born. I couldn't remember the town.

My teeth started chattering, and I'm not someone who gets, I've gotten this way a couple times when I met Dave Matthews, when I met, I think Howard Stern the first time, but like, I- Geez, man. Shout out Howard, baby. Kelsey's in the Howard Stern the first time but like I Geez man, not Howard baby. Kelsey's in the Howard Stern That's pretty good.

Category. Well, no offense to Travis because I have the utmost respect for him and but he's not someone I knew about prior to Taylor Swift really no offense. I don't think a lot of people But still he's there now. But because of his proximity to her and because of how much she loves him and how much I how much reverence I have for him and knowing how everyone who pays attention to this game feels about him, I was that nervous.

And then the second the cameras were back on, I was fine. But I was like, I can't have a, I was just like, love-land, like my teeth were, I've never had that kind of nervous reaction. But yeah, that happened. So Ohio, man. Ohio. And then I blacked out the rest of the conversation.

I don't even know what happened. Honestly, he was so nice to me too. And I could tell he probably knew I was nervous. Look how adorable these two are. Look at them. So the aftermath of this, Jack, what happens? The Bills lose for the third straight year in the divisional round. Patrick Moehm goes on to win another Super Bowl.

The Chiefs beat the Ravens to get there. Jason Kelsey and Taylor Swift broke the internet. And then our man, the guy you do not want dating your daughter, Stefan Diggs, he gets traded away after this game. In the off season, he's down there in Houston now. That's about it, man. We'll be right back after this game. Any off season, he's down there in Houston now. Man. That's about it, man. We'll be right back after this. Quick break. History is filled with strange, unusual,

Stakes of this divisional round game, zero to 10 decimals okay. I mean the stakes for me, based on just what I know and what I just heard you guys say, it feels like the stakes were pretty high. It feels like a nine. Like getting the bills, like getting close

to another Super Bowl, which they haven't been since the 90s, has they not been to the Super Bowl since the 90s? Since that run? Okay, I would say it's a nine. It's a nine, that's a great score. I'm gonna go with the eight, six, because division around, what'd you guys go?

Eight, six as well. Okay, great, I'm not like completely off. I did seven, nine. Star power of this game. I mean, can it get better? I mean, the Super Bowl's better, so I'll give it a nine. Like it's right below what you're gonna get there.

Good integrity score. With Taylor there. And with Jason. Jason's there. Fresh off retirement. Trav's there. Fresh off retirement. How many Hall of Famers on the field do you think?

My homes. Future, yeah. Kelsey. Josh Allen. Andy Reid. Andy Reid. Andy Reed. I'm gonna go eight spags. A lot of good folks here. Oh nine three. Right. Out of nine four. Let's go baby.

Yeah. I like that. I'm gonna go eight seven. Eight one. Eight one. Okay. I had a five. Man, we're almost in the game.

I love it. The name of the game, the white sweater game, because Tay-Tay wore the white sweater. And because Jason Kelsey took off a shirt and he displayed his white sweater. So everyone. It was more dark. A graying.

Brunette sweater. Brunette. Brunette. Oh wow, I didn't notice that. And he was a white sweater, like he was sweating. So he took off his shirt. He was a white man sweater. It works in so many ways. It does.

Okay. The name of the game, you gotta score the name. Oh, I gotta score the name of the game? This is dumb. Okay. No, it's the cultural impact. It's a good name, I think we nailed it, 10. It's the cultural impact. Fucking 10.

I'm gonna go with the seven. Oh, okay. Oh man, I scored this before I knew the name, but all right, eight, three's all right. Where does it score? Eight, four, seven. Where does that rank on all our games that we have done it's too high I'll tell you that much it's too high it's it tied with the 18 and one

Super Bowl what number is that Jack? I threw it. The Patriots, Giants, Super Bowl loss the under-fuelling season. My votes have counted like Idaho's electoral call. It's just below the 2003 ASC Championship Colts versus Patriots, and just above Becky Two Belts, WrestleMania 35, and the double comeback game. Pat's Ravens, little high. Wait, so what was the number one game that you have, the Super Bowl, what's LI?

That's a? 51. 51, and when was that? That was the, when we were down 28 to 3. That was when you were at? Yeah. Oh my god. Wait, what happened in that? Sorry, this is what this is about.

Love the pod boys It's a part of my work days And I love going back and listening to old EPS to catch up on something I may be missed I know it's a tough task But is there any way we can get Bobby Orr on the pod to talk about the goal?

The flying goal. Against the blues that clinched Boston the 72 Stanley Cup. You ask any hockey fan alive during the time and maybe even know still if they were raised right. Bobby Orr is the greatest defenseman of all time. Would love to hear a Bobby Orr rep. Probably the greatest statue of all time. Oh, a timer, bro. Incredible moment. Yeah, we got to get him on. We got more hockey coming. We're gonna be doing more hockey This would be a white whale episode guest.

All of my New England Patriots fandom aside, Julian Edelman has posted himself as one of the most intriguing and knowledgeable hosts in the game. Right on, bro. Who do we pay for this? Always excited to share while maintains the ability to listen and be curious. I always love hearing the ins and outs of historic sports moments and when this podcast made its way into the world I found an unbelievable source of entertainment,

humor, and ever-present wonder of sitting and just riffing off statistics and talking about random sports moments with the boys. This show helps me smile, escape the dark times, and I remember that I've listened through some of the greatest games ever. As a lifelong sports fanatic, this show brings my serotonin to a whole new level. Wow. Oh man, Fudge Flaps is nice with the pen.

What a guy. Fudge Flaps is, dude, he, that's like a very good written review. It was, bro. That's a very abusive, very, like, that was great review. It was, bro. That's Emily Format. Very abusive, very, like, that was great. Serotonin, I love it. The fact that we can be a little serotonin boost,

and the fact that we can help you through those dark times, that's an honor. I'm curious about you, Fudge Flaps. I wanted to say Fludge Apps. I'm maybe dyslexic. You think they would have diagnosed that? No. You know, years ago.

I like nuts in my fudge. How about you? You like what? I like some nuts in my fudge. Oh, I haven't got you. Yeah, I gotta get a little crunch in there. You like to dip your nuts in fudge? What? What? Kyler Live-A-Little.

You want to read this nuts in fudge? What? What? Um, KylerLiv-a-Little. You wanna read this one, Jules? Tim-ay... Oh... Tim-ay... 1012. Best podcast by a mile, but Jules, tell Kyler to have fun once in a while

instead of saying let's wrap this up 70 times when you and Jack are having a good old time. in a while instead of saying, let's wrap this up 70 times when you and Jack are having a good old time. Other than that, killer show, boys. To me. Can we wrap this up? 70 times.

There's only so much hard drive space in the world. I wish you saw behind the camera how much times he tells us to wrap it up You know, it's even crazier is when he's I'm getting the exclamation points on the docks and stuff Oh, it's a perfect it's a perfect time for a follow-up question that is dumb Gotta get people in and out. We're a well-known machine Okay, you just can't destroy the art, the integrity of the art of the conversation. Is there an audiobook version of that?

Yeah, I just said that two seconds ago. No, he didn't. He did! Did he? Well, in my listening and curiosity, according to Fudge Flaps person, his fudge flaps is fucking way off. So what the hell is fudge flaps watching? Or listening to? We should praise the curiosity.

We love the riff, baby. We love it. Keegan-Michael Key we're talking about. Yeah, Keegan-Michael Key. I wonder if he is going to read the audiobook. Read the audiobook? If he's going to read his own audiobook. Oh, I wonder if he's narrating it. Oh, Oh, yeah, is he narrating it? Oh, if he's gonna say I was about to ask him that why would I mean he's a voice actor from I kill it

Oh, yeah, this guy's fucking did you do your own? I didn't I'd take a long time. Yeah, who did yours? Some right now I wouldn't wish I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. I think I listened a little bit it's so funny to hear like like a I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. I think I listened to a little bit. It's so funny to hear a man of nice literature have to say, let's the fuck go up, bro. Like when they're quoting me in certain things, let's fucking go.

And he said, it was, let's fucking go. You know what I mean? It's pretty stupid recording that Audiobook would probably take longer than writing it writing it took a long time. Actually, dude. Shout out to Greg Gregory Abbey, bro I was the guy that did it and Tom current to shut up. Gregory Abbey was a narrator though. Oh great mine Yeah, he's in bull. Yeah, he's been some stuff bro. Let's hear why let's put him on real quick. I want to hear his voice He's in bull. Yeah, he's been some stuff bro. Let's hear why let's put him on real quick. I want to hear his voice FBI he's done some stuff. Shout out Gregory the Atlanta Falcons speed in execution and our lack of precision

Put us in a Super Bowl hole deeper than one any team had ever climbed out of What made me so sure they would be a plot twist? Did I have doubts? now they would be a plot twist. Did not have doubts? No. We'd been in holes like this before. In Super Bowl XLIX, we trailed by 10 at the start of the fourth quarter against Seattle. No team had ever raised a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter of a Super Bowl. We did. We did.

Nobody believed in us then. I was sure nobody believed in us now. That didn't matter. Nobody believed a lot of us would even get to the NFL. Here we were. Nobody believed Tom Brady would go from a six-round pick to the best ever. He did. Nobody believed Bill Belichick was a legend in waiting when he was hired by the Patriots in 2000.

He was. Nobody believed I could play quarterback at a division one football program in college and turned myself into a wide receiver in the NFL I had Our organization was loaded with people who ignored doubters to get where they were Just before the second half kickoff Tom sat down next to me on our bench. I reminded him once more Gonna be a hell of a story. Hell yeah, he said. Hell yeah. Coming out of halftime, the Falcons threw one...

She's like, a good book. We should read that. I was just gonna say that. Check that one out. Dude sounds awesome. Now I'm deep in the Gregory Abbey Wikipedia page. I said, it's gonna be a hell of a story. Hell yeah. He said.

Hell yeah. Hell yeah. He did a lot of work on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, some Yu-Gi-Oh! Nice. I like them. All right. Let's wrap this up. Well, what a game. Thanks again to Nicky. That was a fun episode. And that's been another episode of Games with Names.

Benjamin Franklin is our subject for a new season with Walter Isaacson. He's the most successful, self-made business person in America. A printer, a scientist, a founding father, but maybe not the guy we think we know. Franklin casts his lot on the side of revolution, and it's another thing that splits the family apart.
