Our first guest is an Emmy Award winning actor who made us laugh for
years on modern family. But much more importantly, his Kansas City Chiefs are
in the Super Bowl this weekend. Please welcome my friend Eric Stonestreet
looking. Look at your mustache. How long you been doing that? Well, you
know what? I started growing. This is a guess. What a practical joke on my
girlfriend. And then we started winning with the Chiefs right before the
playoffs, so I thought I would keep it in solidarity with solidarity with head
coach Andy Reid. So it is my Andy Reid mustache. Go chiefs. Alright, all right.
How are you feeling? It's a few days away now. How are you feeling? You know,
I'm feeling good. It's weird having won a Super Bowl last year as a fan, it's a
different feeling this year because of that. And then, obviously, because of
the pandemic, don't know if you're aware of we are in a pandemic. Why so I
z Yeah, it's weird that way as well, but I'm I'm nervous. I'm optimistic,
you know, because we have the foundation here in Kansas City to keep
winning football games so I think we're gonna win on Sunday. I do. I think
we're gonna turn the chapter on Tom Brady. We weren't able toe turn the
chapter on him, necessarily in the A f C the year we wanted to, but we were
able to last year and then this year, going against him in the Super Bowl.
Hopefully score one for the good guys there in their hometown, though. That's
a That's a tough one. They're like, it's Tom Brady and their in their
hometown. That is very tough. Yeah, it's gonna be even tougher to lose in
your hometown. Oh, boy. All right. What are your plans for the big day?
Obviously, you're probably not going. You're gonna stay home? Yeah, we we
after the a f C championship here in Arrowhead, Lindsay and I looked at each
other and just were like, this is what it would be like being in Tampa. It's
just, like, sort of anticlimactic. So we decided right then and there that we
weren't gonna try toe. Whether it go down there, we're just gonna hunker
down here in the house. I got she allowed me to buy a recliner chair when
we moved into this house in Kansas City. Eso I have a nice recliner. I'm gonna
have some cheese fries, some nachos, some hot dogs, things that I would
normally have at Arrowhead or at a stadium. And I'm gonna sit in front of
my TV and watch it just like everybody else. I like to watch games alone,
though. I don't like a crowd around me, Ellen. Yeah, I understand. I know
Portia and I are watching alone to because we like to focus. We don't need
the talking. You're not gonna be in a recliner. You're gonna be on the edge
of your seat or you're gonna be standing up. You're either gonna be
cheering or screaming one. You're not gonna be in a recliner. Well, I do get
up. And I sometimes have known to get into three point stance and help out
the team. I'll get on a goal line goal line situation or when it's a third
short and we bring and they bring in the heavy is I'll get down in a four
point stance and add myself defensive. Please. Please take some selfies. Um,
so obviously the chiefs won last year you were at the game you ran into Andy
and Kaylin Uh, you must have been happy to see them there. Oh, yeah, I love
seeing those guys. And I love you know, I have a saying in my life I love
dominating Andy E love dominating verbally. Uh, mentally, You know, we
text every once in a while and he always tells me he's my best friend.
And I say, You're my mild acquaintance. Don't forget that
and then see it in there and roughing him up a little bit was pretty fun. I
think I got some good chest bumps on him. I posted an instagram of me just
bringing the booth. Yeah, Yeah, I love Anne. Uh, you always have that tape of
me saying I love him. He's a special guy. Um, Eric. Okay, let's talk about
So you think right now, the chiefs would be stressed out there like
working hard. Thio, get ready for the game focused, but they just pulled a
prank. That is crazy. I can't believe what I heard this this morning. Tell
everybody what happened. Well, it's a testament to that locker room. So
former punter Dustin Kolka it was signed back to the team, and James
Winchester, the long snapper, along with Adam LaRoche, who was a former
Major League baseball player and really good guy. Uh, Anthony Sherman messed
with Adam a couple years ago, and he messed with the wrong guy. So Adam
decided it was time to get Anthony Sherman back. So there's nothing more
in the world that that Anthony loves than his beloved truck. And when
Anthony went out to practice last Friday, they had a website ready to go,
and they auctioned off his truck to benefit human trafficking here in
Kansas City. Uh, the three foundation. So they created a whole website. Sherm
fights for freedom dot org's Go to it. Donate, get your chance toe win Anthony
Sherman's truck. He will fly you and someone else Kansas City hand you the
keys to his truck. Or you could take a $40,000 payment. Your choice. And they
did this without him having any idea. And let me tell you, it couldn't have
happened to a more perfect person. Sherman is the king of practical jokes.
He's king of giving everybody trouble, and that's just a testament thio.
Everyone they called me and they're like Mahomes is retweeting at Kelsey's
Retweeting. What? Will you do it? I'm like I am in on this big time. So it's
great. They think it could raise a ton of money. I think it's already up to
80,000. So people have a chance to go try to win Anthony Sherman's pickup
truck right now. That's a great idea. Hey, before we go because we have to go.
But and and And should they win, by the way, because you're friends with
Mahomes. Should they win? You and Mahomes? Uh, please. Come on the show
so we could talk about it after the Super Bowl. Okay, I would I would love
that. I would love to do that, but hold on. Ellen, did you see my dog statue
back there? That's what I was just Okay. First of all, that's what I was just
gonna say, and then I I just wanna make sure you in my home because you claim
to be good friends with him, that you're gonna bring him on the show. So
when I first when you first started, I thought it was a statue. And why is he
punished? Why is he up at the top step punished. He was sitting at Roscoe.
Come say hi. Come here. Come on.
Why does he like to sit up there? Because I wanted him there for so he
could see you could jump up here. Hi, buddy. Say hi. Hey. Oh, what's up?
That's a good looking dog. That's Roscoe. Yeah. No, I had him there so
you could see him. And then hopefully you were going to say, Is that a dog
statue back there? And then I was gonna bring him to life. I was going to say
it, but then I was interested in the football. But But, yes, he's a He's a
good dog to stay up there the whole time. Very well behaved. Well, he's
well trained. He's good little fella. Alright. Uh, Eric, great time. I'll
bring the homes on. I'll do my best. All right. Well, if you're good friends
with him, he'll be on. I've never said I'm best friends with him. Kind of You
kind of have. Okay, you've said it many times. All right.
Good luck to you and your chiefs will be back
