So we moved in 1997 from the flats of Oliver Street in Redwood City, which was kind of like real, real middle class. And my parents, there was a huge upstream on real estate. OK, so they bought their house for like 120 grand,

sold it for like 450. Or 390 or 400, something like that. And then we went and bought a different house where it was like 575 up in the hills of Redwood City. And we were so broke after that. We had a budget. My mom, my dad set a budget. My mom's like, no, we can't have that. We go look at a house where we can't afford. He had the same thing growing up.

And she was like Native American Portuguese, and she had three kids with a different guy than my dad's dad. And they were all deaf in like the 40s and 50s. Whoa.

And so in 1955, there was two schools in the United States than my dad's dad, and they were all deaf in like the 40s and 50s. Whoa. And so in 1955, there was two schools in the United States that had schools for deaf people, because they were calling the kids retarded, deaf and dumb. Uh-huh. You know, they didn't know how to teach the kids. They would, I think they would like make them go by a balloon and talk or something like that,

and they'd see the vibrations, or they had to make, but they couldn't speak, you know what I mean? Wow, yes. And they didn't know how to sign. They didn't know how to do it, yeah. And so she drove them out to California, and they went to Berkeley, and then she became a nurse. And then, you know, my grandfather served on the Arizona Navy.

No kidding. John Harry. Did he make it? He made it, he wasn't on it when it got taken down on Pearl Harbor, but he came back on the Enterprise from World War II. Holy shit. So he came back, they were all messed up, you know,

And then started his company, his shop, out of his house at the time. And my mom would like serve lemonade and pick up the customers.

That's a pretty good name. The Kids. That's a pretty good name. Open it up for Journey. He was in it in the 80s. So they were a big Bay Area band. There was this thing in the LAs so they were a big Bay Area band like there was like this thing in the like LA Bands and Bay Area band sure like in the 80s. You know like they were kind of like you guys got people

Well they were over these Edelman's got a chip on their shoulder no wonder he's the fucking MVP Yeah, so I don't know. And yeah. OK. The kids. What were the vacations like growing up? For you growing up. So we camped.

We were a big camping family. We used to go to this place called Lake Comanche, which was real crazy. And then we'd go to Berryessa. Just, you know, you see some Hells Angels, you see some Hells Angels Mexican Mafia it was one of those kind of like uh-huh you know it was a pretty hood leg You just named five horrible gangs

Lake hey everybody He's California you get a little bit of that And so then we went up to Lake Berryessa, and then we bought that house in 97. In 2004, we started going to Lake Tullock. We camped there a couple times. We had a couple friends that had a lake house there, and my dad started making enough money where he caught up on the house.

Gotcha. And then he felt we were spending too much money frivolously so he went and bought a lake house so my mom couldn't spend money. Gotcha. It was a reason like we have to know. We have another mortgage. We can't be spending the cash. So from there on out we went to the lake every year.

Fishing, hunting, all that kind of stuff? I was like a wake boarder. Okay. Okay. No kidding. Do you still ski? Yeah I just went up to Lake Tullock that was our lake last week and got up on the slalom. Huh really? Do you own a set of skis or you rent? You can't be renting. No we have a boat we got you know you know. What do you mean? I'm asking I don't know. Wakeboarding have you ever jumped wake to wake? I used to do like tantrums and flips and stuff Do you ever get exhausted being the man? No, I was just crazy like I wasn't like great or anything, but I could you would just do it

You were like I'll try that Yeah, I was I mean I did that a lot growing up. We got started on the kneeboards at five You know when you like lake life is lake life now it's like wake surfing and stuff which I'm out of the game of that and I can't wakeboard anymore because When I was doing that I was like 160 pounds little kid like a gymnast and stuff now. I'm like 198 200 pounds you know it's it's hard to ever they get off the ground Yeah, you know you jump the wake your knees feel like they're gonna fucking explode. We haven't left the ground in years, us two.

Hit the gym, fatty. I don't know what to tell you. I tried to water ski once, man. No shot. That was like a bowling ball. I couldn't get out of the water. You gotta lean back, pups. Just lean back, stay in a ball.

Lean back, stay in a ball. I had to rip the motor off the boat. Gotta get the cheeseburger out of his hand first. You could do it. No way. You could do it. No way. I get you up in a heartbeat with that 351 wins

and I got in that boat. You got a cigarette boat dragging me across the boat. I got a match. We got an 88 Mastercraft, and I hated it because it was like when I was a kid, it was old. Mm-hmm. Sure. But it's a ski comp boat, and everyone

had the cool wakeboard boats. But it's we still have the same boat. And it's so old now that it's become a fucking it's cool now. It's cool. So I roll up on the lake and I feel cool. Yeah. That thing. Do you have a house out there, too? Or you just you know, I stay in. We have a little three bedroom, two bathroom place that's not on the lake.

We take a golf cart to like we're like as far as in the community you could be. Who has this? The family's house? It's my dad's house. This is the lake house. So you bought a lake house not on a lake? Yeah. Alright. So I know what we're dealing with here. Couldn't afford a lake. We took the golf cart. We got the golf cart. Sure, there you go. Everyone onsake, the Edelmans are in the backyard again trying to get on that lakefront property. I'll buy you skis!

It's true. It's true. I love it. Okay. Huh. As my dad would say, we count pennies. Sure. Now what were the family cars growing up?

Dad, so... He could fix fix anything right? My 4gm Chrysler and Toyota there was American made. Okay, automotive repair. Got you like German stuff. He could do it just takes longer for diagnostics. He'd be complaining about it. Yeah, because it's all computer and sure. So it's different. So my pops in 1991 bought a bourbon brand. It was the first brand new car I ever had.

I love that kind of car. The old bourbon. The old, the big one, yeah. It was a white with a blue stripe. My stepdad had the same exact one. And I remember going to, I think it was Sequoia Chevrolet. It's not even there anymore. We went as a family and we bought that thing

and I sat in the way back. I thought it was the coolest fucking thing. It's like a limo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we had that thing and I sat in the way back. I thought it was a cool as fucking like a limo Yeah, and we had that in forever And that was like my dad everyone knew that car is my dad my brother had one for I don't know 10 15 years He just had to get rid of it. It was like he was like the dog died. Yeah, he loved it Yeah, those things are those things are I wish he totaled it like eight years ago damn. He had it up until then No, he didn't total it we parked on our street and the car came up and lit it.

Jesus. Lit it up and totaled it, which that was like 10 years. I wish he would have still had that. I would have tricked it out. Yeah, that'd be sick. It would be badass. Because those things were as old again. It would have been a great lake car.

Yeah. Keep it at the lake, dad. This guy loves the lake. 100%. My mom had a 79 gold Cadillac. Ooh But it was like 98 yeah, you know Cadillac yeah, it was an El Dorado and El Dorado and my and she sounds like using the Mexican mafia

She had that and then and then she finally bitched and complained to my dad so much She would yell tomorrow him every day. How did she end up with that car? That wasn't her first choice. She had that for like a long time. It was a Cadillac. It wasn't like when your dad was fixing it and was like, here take this. Your mom actively wanted a 79 Cadillac.

I think he bought it for her. Okay. This was a long time ago. And then in like 96, my dad got, or 98 or 2000, maybe 2000, or 99, he got a 91 El Dorado, because my mom liked El Dorado. Your mom's awesome. Yeah, your mom sounds all right. She liked the Cadillac, and that's what she had,

and then she went to a Chrysler 300 when they put the Hemi in. Yeah, that is a trash call. I love it, but damn, the Chrysler 300 when they put the Hemi in. That is a that's a trash call. I love it.

Never heard that. Really? And then I'll grab some a couple ketchup so when I get up on my flight, I have what I need. I don't know if that's classy or trashy but that's a dirt bag move and I like it. Yeah, it's fucking great. But I do bring food on sometimes like if I'm in a certain airport like Austin and Houston They have some good ass fucking places. So like I'll grab a burrito Okay, if I know the burrito burritos on the fence. Yeah, tuna would be like no

They can't take it something. Yeah, no like I love tuna fish, but on the plane I'm not thinking up the fuck and you don't like the the natural maple syrup. You don't like the real stuff No, like I love tuna fish, but on the plane. I'm not thinking up the fuck and you don't like the the natural maple syrup You don't like the real stuff. No, I like like Logging what a log cabin I don't know if it's it's not Angie Mima. No, I forgot. I don't know what it is What was it like flying with the team? Are they serving food on those flights because you always see in movies people were playing poker and shit like that Yeah, any reality there there is reality to that after a

Game guys playing cards or doing something like that We used to have this game so everyone had their per diem and which is like 60 bucks 40 bucks. That's crazy They're still giving you guys 40 bucks well Technically they were supposed to give us like a hundred a meal But because our team always had all the meals at the hotel they didn't have to pay that so that extra meal or whatever yeah you got me cash yeah so what like in an envelope so you know it's insane someone's handed Tom Brady 40 bucks yeah like that high school volleyball team that's crazy so but what we would do it got up to like 60 bucks whoa

hey take it easy moneybags a lot of ketchup packets. So when you're entering the plane, we'd go to the tar mat, and there'd be tables laid out. And they'd have grilled chicken sandwiches, burgers, PB&Js, everything. And everyone would just take all the snacks, whatever you want to make you comfortable to meet you in the best mindset so you can go perform the next day. So like they had comfort and everything. Got it.

Everything. So you take that and there'd be a guy, this guy, Bearish, who he'd be sitting there seeing who's in line. Break you off. And then as soon as we would get on, which I didn't do it, but a lot of the guys, they would put, everyone would take all their money and you put your initial on it. You initial it and you give it to one of the flight attendants and she'd pull out the initial or the marking and the person got to keep the whole bag. Oh yeah. That's fine. Like a little raffle. So someone get like 800 or a thousand bucks. That's fun. That is good. What did you like to drink during the game? What was your flavor

of whatever you were drinking or was it just water a lot of it was water They had this cramp juice stuff. They called it So it was basically like an enhanced Gatorade where they put in a lot more salt Uh-huh, so your your muscles retain the the water so I would in like an alka seltzer or something So like I would chug that if I was feeling like drained But a lot of it water or I like red Gatorade your red Gatorade. I like the originals I like the lemon lime or orange Okay, those are the orange. Those are the first three

I remember as a little kid going to pop Warner if you had a fucking Gatorade you were fucking cool Yeah, all right My dad said we had the lake house Huh you know how to use chopsticks yeah, okay Japanese We had a lot of dumplings in Bay Area yes, will you dance at a wedding? Yeah, I'll dance at a wedding you'll tear it up a little bit Yeah, I mean depends on who's wedding sure'll tear it up a little bit? Yeah, I mean, depends on who's wedding. Sure.

You know what I mean? If it's a close friend's wedding and you're with your homies. Let loose out there. You let loose. And, you know. If it is a close friend or maybe a family member, younger generation or whatever, and you go, what's typically ballpark going to be in the envelope? What do you drop?

I don't do... So I'm actually really new to the wedding game. Okay. I always had the best excuse to not go to weddings. Of course. We got training camp, bro. Uh-huh. I'm Julian fucking Edelman. I'm not coming to your wedding.

No. That's what I've tried to say. I've got 60 bucks on me. I sprained my wrist carrying all these rings around So I I'm actually new to the wedding game and then you know, so I Like I went to my sister's I've been to like family members, which don't they have like one of those I have my one of my people they'll go to the list of what they want. Take care of it. That's what you do Okay, yeah, I'll let them do sister. You did that too. Yeah, sister I I paid for I think I paid for some of the wedding. Yeah, that make that yeah, I mean that makes sense

That's what I'm looking for. Okay. All right, very nice Huh, how many what the wardrobe how many suits do you own and you have a lot of suits? I have a lot of suits. I have I have like probably three or four tucks. I have Wow I a lot of suits 12. I probably like 20. Wow. Were you big on the I worked with Zenia though for a long time. So I would and I was I was big in that world for sure. You know, a while.

So anytime you go to an event or something, they're giving you a suit that they want you to look in. And then I had, you know, when we're going to the Super Bowl, they would dress your looks. So like I have a lot of like carryover suits. What about regular Sunday games? Are you big on, you know, everybody likes to dress up for that and they get started coming in. I started that. Really? Yeah. No.

I don't even know who Zenia is. So you lost me there. You had me. Ah, I used to like theme up my stuff. OK. So like if we were you know on an away game You had to wear a suit off the plane getting off the plane. You had to wear a suit Yeah, we Bella chick would always say we look like a fucking YMCA team You guys got to start wearing suits around here

Don't get your envelope again But if it was over like a four hour flight we could go team-issued sweat suit. Gotcha. Like it? Sometimes but you got to a point where you always wear your suit because good luck you want to look good. Sure. Feel good. And so I would always like theme up my game day attire with where we were going. So if I was like, if we were playing New York, I'd wear like an old like 19, 29 gangster three piece suit, you know, or you go to Chicago, you wear like a Al Capone something,

or you go to Miami, you're wearing some Miami-ish kind of. And you just tell your people, hey, this is what I wanna do this summer. So what I used to do is I would do all my dressing for the season before the season. So I would. Yeah. So I would look at the schedule and you meet with someone. You laid out everything that you want to wear. And then this week you have that. So it's easy.

So I don't have to think about that. It's just there. You just. Yeah, I already put my mind into it. So the week of the game, I don't have to worry about what I'm fucking wearing sure already have the look prepared He shows cutting the hair these days for you. I got a I got a few guys I got a couple guys out here that are really good barbers or hair haircut guys at Tufts over in Soho, that's pretty dope. They come to you you go to them. I so in New York, I'll go to them Okay, I like to get that the vibe I love the neighborhood. Yeah like they're click. And at the house? In LA I got a guy that

comes to me. What do you grease in him? What's he cost? Couple hunch? Yeah you know I'll take care of him depending on what time I call him how late it was. 2.50 3 or something. What's the shortest notice you would give them? Hey, can you be here in a couple hours? Yeah, like morning of no kidding. Yeah fresh cut for today Well not it's never for I literally will grow my hair out. It's like a shoe It's for like I gotta go do the Colin Coward show or I gotta go gotcha this or any kind of TV thing Do you shave normally? I don't What's the longest you let it go not like in the season and all that kind of stuff?

I I'll let it go for a while like I just trimmed down. I had a I had a shoot with Reebok yesterday So I had a little beard so this is probably I go like a 2 to a 1 okay When you were saying the the sweatsuits on the flight. What was the access to that stuff? Could you get whatever you want wanted when you needed it? Yeah. Like how many? Depending on who you were on the team. Giving them cash.

Yeah, you can get sweatpants. No, but you'd be surprised. Really? There's a lot of payroll deducted, like jersey swaps. If you were to give a jersey to another guy on a team, you get paid, you get payroll deducted five hundred bucks. Oh, I would walk into the front office and start screaming. You only get one jersey.

Theoretically. Theoretically, throughout the year. I would walk into the front office and start screaming you only get one Jersey Theoretically theoretically that throughout the year so if you were to swap it and it's a lot of it's because of the Catering that they do for or like the cutting and the shore short tailoring. What about cleats? Can you get a fresh pair of cleats every game? I wore a new pair of cleat every game you did. Yeah, you say hey That's your personal that's through your deal You're with but I went through them because I was a Puma guy when I was playing, but I still, they didn't have a Nike contract to be on the field.

So I was an athleisure Puma guy that wore Nikes. So I started painting my cleats. You know, everyone paints them now, but I would paint and do designs on them because I couldn't show any Nike emblems. So like, I started doing that. And then, you know, Sweatsuits and hats and stuff like that though

Whatever depending on your rank because it always if you're a rookie like just got drafted probably not gonna be on the team There's not any answer 40 hoodies You can't ask like there's levels to that but it seems like every game Throughout the year like all like you guys will be wearing on the sidelines the new stuff They're about to sell on exactly store So well, there's different there's different themes throughout the season So like the what is it like the October which one's breast month? October October October and then November's military. So there'd be military shit

You know and then I was very superstitious I wore the same stuff and I'd give like a They the cool thing is you'd have like a towel with like a pink towel or something like I would or like a camo fucking that would be The that would be my flair. I like I wanted all my shit. I like the superstition That's all right. Did you have any? As far as away games go did you have any favorite cities to play in that maybe had like sick amenities in their stadium or anything? Like the best locker rooms were Denver. I mean you could do like a pregame warm-up in Their locker room. You didn't even have to go to the field. It was so spacious so big

Buffalo is a shitty locker room, but awesome environment Like it was like some high school shit everyone's on top of each other you got dick in your eye Like it was like some high school shit everyone's on top of each other you got dick in your eye I mean, it's crazy. Yeah, we're grown-ass men here. Yeah Did you like professional? Did you like playing at the link? I I did the Lincoln hat so I loved it because it had a very special me That's how I made that's how I made the team. That's how I made the team. That's how I made the team was, you know, that specific game. It was Brady's first. In 2009, Brady didn't play in 2008, so there was a lot of tension going into that season,

you know, or not tension, but there's a lot of nerves because he hasn't played in a real game. And that was like our first test, that specific first preseason game, which, you know, I know preseason doesn't mean anything, but for a rookie that's about to catch. Trying to make the team, yeah. Trying to make the team. And Wes didn't play, so I had my opportunity. I stepped in with the ones,

and so I caught his first ball out of his knee, and this was huge things, like, how's Brady gonna be? Everyone's in the locker room, he's coming off ACL. And then I housed out. So I love Lincoln Financial, but one of my favorite spots that I loved, I loved playing in New York, or Jersey.

I loved playing in New York. You know, you get the Jets fans. I always loved driving. We'd stay at like the airport, like Marriott or something. You drive over, you look to the right, you see downtown, or you see, you know, New York City, then you roll up into the Meadowlands lands You see a fucking toothless Jets fan I think that's all of them. Yeah, you know, but and then could have said just just said a Jets fan

Yeah, there's always one or two toothless that you saw But a gentleman you see down there and fill it up. Yeah Yeah, but it was a Mecca, you know in the, New York thing was always huge. Yeah sure you know damn I mean yeah, I Say he's all class. He's trashy you shit. What are you talking about? He's a goddamn dirtbag Told you I teetered out line. It can walk.
