EP. 193 — George Brett Reluctant High Five

We get deep into the Kansas City lore with fantastic comedic actor Eric Stonestreet of Modern Family on today’s Sklarbro Country! We’ll hear about how sports played a major role of Eric’s life growing up in Kansas City, the time he played phone tag with Del Close before studying improv with him in Chicago, and how it took multiple auditions for him to finally play the character of Cameron on Modern Family. Later, Eric shares the story of his altercation at Dodgers Stadium and high-fiving George Brett before getting into some Quick Hits. Plus, Jerry Jones gives us his side of the story involving his battle with Mark Cuban. So pour yourself an ice cold Tiger Woods, put your headphones on, and unwind as you’re taken to the calming shores.
