The two friends were on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' when Damon's exclusive 'Wordle' league was brought up—that Affleck has not been allowed to join.

Besties since the '80s, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon sometimes still act like the elementary-aged pals who lived just two blocks from each other in Cambridge, Mass... especially in regards to teasing and name-calling.

Take for instance, their appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show where Affleck bestowed the perfect nickname to his School Ties co-star.


The two along with Chris Tucker sat down with host Kelly Clarkson to promote their new movie Air, the film that tells the story of Nike's pursuit of basketball rookie Michael Jordan.

During the show, Clarkson mentioned the duo's rumored elite Wordle group consisting also of Bradley Cooper, Will Arnett, and Jason Bateman.

But Affleck revealed that is just not the case at all.

"No, I'm trying to get into it. And I'm being velvet-roped by the bouncer here."

He nodded to his Glory Daze co-star.

"He's telling me that I gotta get a cooler plus one."

As Damon tried to articulately justify his reasoning using Wordle-specific terminology, Affleck cut him off, quipping:

"Alright, Will Hunting."

The joke likening Damon to the titular genius janitor he portrayed in the film Good Will Hunting, which Affleck and Damon co-wrote and co-starred, garnered immediate laughter from the host and Tucker.

Of course, Clarkson and Tucker weren't the only ones in hysterics. Viewers of the segment also had their chuckle, many sharing their adoration of this 40-year friendship.

Dem Rep. Expertly Pinpoints Why Republicans Are Dismantling DEI Programs In Mic Drop Rant

Speaking during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Pennsylvania Democratic Representative Summer Lee expertly pinpointed why diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are being targeted by Republicans nationwide, noting that "remedying past discrimination is not, in turn, a discrimination."

DEI programs are organizational strategies aimed at ensuring fair treatment and full participation for everyone, with a special focus on historically marginalized or discriminated groups. These frameworks strive to create an environment where all individuals, regardless of their identity or abilities, are valued and included.

People Describe The Absolute Best Meal They Ever Ate

I've traveled quite a bit—for work and pleasure—and had some memorable meals along the way.

There was the borscht, pierogies, and sausage at Polish restaurant Mazurka (R.I.P.) on Rue Prince-Arthur in Montreal, Canada. The poutine I sampled across Quebec and the Maritimes. All the fresh breads, doner kebabs, schnitzel, and baked French onion soups I ate while TDY in Germany. The yakisoba, sushi, and seafood curry I had while working for the DoD in Japan.

Elon Musk Mocked For Hilariously Wrong Prediction About Matt Gaetz—And Yeah, That Did Not Age Well

After former Florida congressman Matt Gaetz dropped out of contention for President-elect Donald Trump's Attorney General post, a hilariously over the top post from billionaire Elon Musk—who is tapped to lead Trump's "Department" of Government Efficiency—resurfaced that showcases how wrong Musk was about Gaetz's future within the second Trump administration.

Gaetz was previously the subject of a Justice Department investigation into alleged sex trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl and has faced scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee over accusations of sexual misconduct. However, that inquiry effectively concluded last week when Gaetz announced his resignation from Congress.
