Starting point is 00:00:00 The murder of an 18-year-old girl in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved for years, until a local housewife, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story.

Hey, I'm Nora Jones, and I love playing music with people so much that my podcast called Playing Along is back. I sit down with musicians from all musical styles to play songs together in an intimate setting.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Over the past two seasons, I've had special guests like Dave Grohl, Leveh, Rufus Wainwright, Mavis Staples, really too many to name. And there's still so much more to come in this new season. Listen to Nora Jones is playing along on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Whenever I got through the window, I tried to pick him up and his body was stiff. I'm Ben Westoff, and this is The Peacemaker, a true crime podcast about a string of mysterious suicides at a Missouri university, and the fraternity brother tied to them all. Brandon Grossheim. The lawsuit says Grossheim was one of the last people to see each victim before their deaths. Was he profoundly unlucky, or was something much darker at play?
Starting point is 00:01:41 Listen to The Peacemaker podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome to Decoding Women's Health. I'm Dr. Elizabeth Pointer, chair of Women's Health and Gynecology at the Atria Health Institute in New York City. I'll be talking to top researchers and clinicians and bringing vital information about midlife women's health directly to you. A hundred percent of women go through menopause. Even if it's natural, why should we suffer through it? Listen to Decoding Women's Help with Dr. Elizabeth Pointer on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In early 1988, federal agents race to track down the gang they suspect of importing millions of dollars worth of heroin into New York from Asia.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Had 30 agents ready to go with shotguns and rifles and you name it. Five, six white people. Pushed me in the car. Basically, your stay-at-home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. All you got to do is receive the package. Don't have to open it, just accept it. She was very upset, crying. Once I saw the gun, I tried to take his hand, and I saw the flash of light.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Listen to the Chinatown Stang on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts. I see that you're unretiring. Mm, wow. Are you unretiring or what? That trolls. Oh, all right, Gron, let me ask you straight up. Are you coming back? Welcome to Dudes on Dudes.
Starting point is 00:03:17 I'm Julie Nettelman. And I'm Rob Grankowski. And this is the show where your favorite dudes talk about their favorite dudes. Well, what are we talking about today, Jules. I think we're going to select the first ever all dudes team. First ever all dudes team. We're going to put our GM caps on. So we're going to kind of be like Shane Vareen these days lately. He's going for a GM job. He's with the Houston Texans. Shout out to you, brother. Well, Rob, you've got it twisted. We're not entry level fucking GMs. I love Shane. That's our boy.
Starting point is 00:03:53 That was us seven years ago. We are fucking Brett Veach, bro, with the team that we're about to pick for all dudes. We're at the top of the line of GMs. And then we wrap up the show by talking about the chillest dudes of the week as well, presented by our favorite drink, Coors Light. You got to stick around to the very end. Let's go. Dudes on dudes is a production of I Heart Radio. So Rob, what's up, bro? Where you been? You were in Australia? Mm-hmm. Jules, I was in Australia. I was working for fan duels, brother company sports bet, which is out in Australia. You know, I went down there, went to the horse races there, put some bets on a horse name, Grancowski.
Starting point is 00:04:41 His odds were absolute terrible. But if he got first place, I would have made about 10 grand, but obviously it didn't go the way that I wanted to go. He took dead last. And he actually lost a beast mode. Beast Mode took second place in that race, which was really cool because it was kind of a Super Bowl rematch Beast Mode versus DeGronk. And the Beast Moe came through.
Starting point is 00:05:01 They handed him off the ball on that horse track in Australia. They were smart enough to call his number. But I was there, man. It was a good time. My bucket list of what I really wanted to do there was meet a kangaroo. And I wanted to meet a wild kangaroo, a wild male kangaroo, that is. They stand about six feet tall. They're pretty aggressive as well.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Going there, I thought they were friendly animals because they're so talked about and so beloved outside of Australia. that's just how we view them as and then everyone was telling me how you know how dangerous they are to go up to and if you threaten them they're gonna come back at you have you not have you not seen that video that fucking kangaroo tattooing that dude
Starting point is 00:05:43 where he's like fighting him and how was the kangaroo did he fight you well that's the thing I wanted me to kangaroo that size because I wanted to throw some haymakers I wanted the kangaroo that throw some haymakers back at me but unfortunately I didn't get to see any wild kangaroos like that I'm in that
Starting point is 00:05:59 situation. But we had a, you know, a family zoo come to us. A family zoo is a family that takes in animals and raises them like it's a zoo right in their own house. And they bought a baby kangaroo, which a baby kangaroo is one year's old. It was a female. It wasn't, you know, it wasn't full size, but it was one of the cutest things. It kind of was like a pet dog, you know. And on top of that, they brought a koala bear, which was really cool. Learned a lot about koala bears, how they eat eucalyptus all day long and they stay high in stone for 23 hours out of the day, which is awesome. I mean, that sounds like a great life if you ask me.
Starting point is 00:06:39 You're just stone. Snoop Dog would definitely get along with these koala bears. There's no doubt about that. They're functioning smokers. Mm-hmm. Exactly. They're functioning smokers. And these guys are functioning eucalyptus leaf eaters.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Are they just super nice? Yeah. Super nice, man. So, you like, did you hug it? No. I wasn't allowed to because you got to be a trained, you know, professional to be able to handle koala bears. So I got to just pet the koala bear and then my hands smelled like eucalyptus after, which was really cool and really neat. But I got to hold a wombat, which is like a koala bear's brother.
Starting point is 00:07:23 And a wombat was really cool, man. It was comfortable, you know, it treated me like family. And then also I got to hang out with an enchilada. No, no, enchanada. It's something, enchilada or something. An enchilada. I love eating those. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:07:37 But you won't eat this freaking enchilada because it has all these porcupines coming out of it. But it's one of the rarest animals in the world. But it was just cool, man, just overall. I would say Australia is like baby America. You know, the people are so nice. And like, no, they love America there. And it's like baby America, it's America and Canada combined, because you know how Canada is just so big, but in Vancouver and Toronto is basically where everyone lives. While Australia is pretty big as well, but basically 80% of the population or along that, you know, along that percentage lives in just Melbourne or Sydney, Australia.
Starting point is 00:08:17 And I was in Melbourne the whole time. And then on top of that, the people, it's more Americanized than Canada. So it's America and Canada combined, but then you make it Australia. And what I really love about Australians is that they're so nice, but they're also like so insulting nice. Like they'll just come up to me like, oh, yeah, ballbusters, but in the most polite way possible. Like, oh, what's up, Grant? You a big unit, my goofy friend.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Like, you're just a silly goof. Like they just ballbusting you at the same time, which is great. You got to love them. Oh, that's got to. That had to be, how long were you there? I was there for three days, so I landed, you know, got after it, and then I came right back. Rob, how long is that flight? 18 hours it took to get there, and then it was 15 hours on the way back.
Starting point is 00:09:08 And my eyes are still closing right now, Jules. I'm still jet lagged. What did you do on the flight? Oh, what didn't I do on the flight? You know, I took two dumps. I'm lucky that the bathrooms were. out bigger on these international flights. Shout out the Qantas Airlines
Starting point is 00:09:26 for having bigger bathrooms. And they weren't stinky. So that's a good thing. Because that would that would... Yeah, that would blow. That would blow tremendously. So Rob, you're dumping on plane twice? I had to, dude.
Starting point is 00:09:40 You got to do what you got to do. Mm-hmm. Is anyone looking at you when you're coming out of the fucking the toilet after being in there for 20 minutes? Mm-mm. Yeah, I make my dumps quick when I'm on a place. Like you can't hide. No, when I take a normal dump, I usually like, basically like read the paper,
Starting point is 00:09:58 but I like read my phone. Like I read the X app, like all the news that's going on. I don't do that when I'm in the toilet bathroom, jewels. I hurry it up. I squeeze it out and then I do my business and then get back to my seat. Well, when I was taking a dump looking at X, I see that you're unretiring. Wow. Are you unretiring or what?
Starting point is 00:10:20 Charles, I finally got home from Australia. It's the first day. I get to relax by myself. I had the Super Bowl trip, Australia trip, and I'm like, oh, freedom. And then all of a sudden,
Starting point is 00:10:34 my phone just starts blowing up out of nowhere that there's rumors out there that I'm coming back to the NFL. And I'm like, I can't even keep my freaking eyes open right now because I'm so jet-like, how, F, can I go out there and play a football game? like let alone even five plays right now you see you're you're you're you're fivin right now tom probably hit you up said hey babe come play for come play for uh the raiders man we just we just want you there on
Starting point is 00:11:02 fridays babe we just hey babe we need you just for camaraderie we want to show these guys winners babe just come do that what about that did tom hit you up nope tom did not hit me up i'm pretty disappointed because Tom is now a team owner and he's not even hitting me up. He don't even want me as a player anymore. That must mean he's looking at me like I'm washed. But if he did hit me up, I would listen to his pitch. I would, Jules.
Starting point is 00:11:28 It may be taken to consideration. What about come play for the L.A. Chargers so you could be close to the Nutt House so we could fucking film all the time together. You go play with Justin Herbert. You got a hardball. That'd be fun. Rob. That would be a great offense.
Starting point is 00:11:44 That would be a great offense for me as well, because my game, you know, contributes in the blocking world as well. That's what gets me open is play action. And Justin Herbert needs that tight end, you know, for that play action route to just, you know, dump it right over the middle. And they want to run the ball. They want to establish to run. And I'm not a guy that can go out there for 30, 40 passes anymore these days,
Starting point is 00:12:04 Joel. So the charges would be a good possibility. And then I'm right there next to the Nut House and we could podcast and hang out. And I could sleep at the Nut House every night before the games as well. 1,000 percent. take Burrow up on that offer maybe little Joey B. Now we can go to Cincinnati. I could take them up on that offer now.
Starting point is 00:12:23 You don't get any coverage. You get zero coverage. Everything's going to be on the outside. Jamar Chase would be taking all that. All you got to do is bump a guy here and there and then slip out to that flat, catch a ball, go for 14. That's a good point. Burrow would be like legit. What about table? He's on his last.
Starting point is 00:12:42 He's on his last limb. He's got to throw. help him out. Everything under the kitchen sink. You go to fucking New York. You got to get some wins in there. Jules, if I went to the New York Giants, I would either extend Debo's career or he would be fired on the spot after the season. It would be up to me if he signed me.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I can tell you that. It would go either or. What about Denver? Maybe because Sean Payton, he did a little clip where he made the Denver Broncos and he changed the name to the Denver Broncos. So maybe that's where, you know, everyone's getting that from. But also I was skiing up in Val in December and like random fans come up to me. Like, oh, you're coming back to football.
Starting point is 00:13:22 I'm like, yeah, I'm in Val right now training to join the Denver Broncos. Why else would I be here? And sometimes people take that and run with it as well, Jules. But if I'm in the right mood, I can trick people as well. And I was being silly sometimes up there in those mountains. So maybe it just got around that. I was training there 30. I'm 35 years old.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Rob at 35 is still probably better than 60% of the tight ends. Joe's, I would have to train. I would have to train. I would have to train for good three weeks. You'd have to train for two weeks. We'd run after the first day, Rob, you'd look at me and say, I'm retiring. I can't do this.
Starting point is 00:14:05 After the second day, I'd make you go out there and we'd do a little more drills. You'd be like, I can't do this. After the third day, you'd be like, bro. I feel so jacked. I'm starting to feel it. You see that? And then after the fifth day and then two more weeks of that, you'd be like, oh, my God, I feel freaking great.
Starting point is 00:14:24 You'd be doing all your shit. You'd be, I think you could get 11 plays a game. Mm-hmm. You're hitting it right on the money. Wait, you just went through all that and then you said 11 plays a game only. Man, you had me going and then you just chop me right back down. What are you talking about? I would at least.
Starting point is 00:14:42 We'll give you three in the red area. Hey, we're talking early season. Early season. We're going to build into it. Rob. We're going to build into this. This is a fucking a year thing. We're not going to fucking throw you out there for 69 plays.
Starting point is 00:14:54 We'll give you 11 plays. Let you get your feet under you. Build your fucking aerobic capacity. Build your confidence. Let the rob eat. Let the rob eat. And then once it hits November, December, that's when we start kicking it up. That's what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:15:12 I'm going to have you as my age. When I do make this comeback now, I'm going to have you put that in the contract that that's how we're going to establish at step by step by step. I'm disappointed in Drew. He still has not hit me up since this went down over the last 24 hours. Drew, I thought you were the number one agent in the game. Like, what's going on, brother? Where are you at? You're not there for me.
Starting point is 00:15:35 This is the busiest week of his life. This is legit the busiest week of his life. He's literally an indie right now. just selling all day long. This is the, this is a Super Bowl. It is a Super Bowl. It is, man.
Starting point is 00:15:53 All right. He's busy as heck. He's, he's, he's a shark. He's 24-7 with this. All right, let me ask you straight up.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Are you coming back? No, Jules. I'm not coming back. All right. He's not coming back. But if I did come back, though, I truly do believe that I could do it. But here's,
Starting point is 00:16:11 here's the factors, Jules, is that I would, have to basically cancel out everything else that's going on in my life. Like football would have to be 100% of focus. I would have to establish a team around me that, you know, with bodywork. I would have to establish a bodywork team around me in order to get the body work done. AG is a callaway, but he's with the Raiders.
Starting point is 00:16:32 I'll steal him from the Raiders. Oh, oh. I can go to the Raiders. Or I can go to the Raiders. Okay. There we go. Tom, give me a call. You have not hit me up.
Starting point is 00:16:40 What the heck? He must not be interested. He should be though. Tom, you're missing out on your number one target for the first year of owning the team, buddy. You can mentor Brock. You guys in a 12 personnel's would be insane. You guys in 12,
Starting point is 00:16:54 two tight end sets. Maybe trade for Matthew Stafford. Yeah, Jacoby Myers. Trade for Stafford. So we have a veteran quarterback ready to go. Oh, man, you're getting me excited. I think they're good. Well, they will be pretty decent. They will be. But if I would have to, I would have to fully focus on it,
Starting point is 00:17:12 And then I would have to work myself into it. I would have to at least have off two days a week during training camp, one day a week during the regular season. And then I feel like I would be able to do it, you know? I think if you come back, I'm joining you. I'm joining you, 38. All right, that just took my chances up even more. Grease up the old knees.
Starting point is 00:17:33 I just got to work out in. I'm still feeling, still feeling explosive, strong. All right. Let's get into our GM. Let's take our player caps off. You're making my porcupines from my enchilada, you know, spike up, Jules, with this talk that you're going to come back to. By the way, this whole thing of hearing you explain, we need to get a Rob travel show about him going in. He loves animals.
Starting point is 00:18:03 He clearly just gave us a breakdown on everything about freaking kangaroos, porcupines, enchiladas with porcupines. fucking we gotta get a rob show where you just we send you somewhere that has nice beaches and pretty animals and you just talk about them that's what I'm talking about one more fact about the kangaroo hold on one more fact about the kangaroo
Starting point is 00:18:26 one more is that so the so the zoologist that raises the kangaroo what was cool is that he had a he had a pouch and he just dropped the kangaroo in the pouch and then he just dropped the pouch down into a little bucket and the kangaroo just was relaxed because he thought it was in its mama's pouch the whole time.
Starting point is 00:18:43 So it was just really cool to me that those kangaroos really do, you know, rely on those pouches that the mother has on them. I just wanted to say it was cool to see. That's just a little fun fact that even a zoologist can control a kangaroo to its fullest power by just having a sack of its own that he just drops it in. You're a groncologist. I'm a groncologist. That's what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Let's go. groncologist takes the world when you have a new baby it's kind of like the same thing you put them in like a little burrito because they want to feel all cuddled up but let's jump into this old dudes team rob let's do it i got my general manager cap on gm robbie g here the the first guy i would take in free agency right now if i was a gm of a team i would give drew rosenhouse a call and offer the most money i possibly could to rob grancowski to get him out of of retirement. That's the first thing I would do as a GM right now, Jules. Now, what is this all dudes team done? So how are we doing this? This is all dudes we love this
Starting point is 00:19:52 year, I think, right? Yes, from each position. We're going to do offense this week. Each position, position group. Each position, position group. It's kind of like an all pro. This is an all dudes. There's all pro teams. There's all dude teams. Okay. There's a pro team. This is what it is. All pro team. Bill, there's a Bill Belichick team. What else is there? There's, there's, but this is the all dudes team that we're making right now. This is the all dudes team. This is the squad you want to be on. All right. So let's go ahead, coach. First and second team. We get two, two teams. Who are you taking for a coach, Rob? Let's let's be a tough one. You got Dan Campbell out there. You got Dan Quinn who had a really good year. Kevin O'Connell, young really, really.
Starting point is 00:20:39 vibrant offensive coach who's won a lot of football games. You know, kid boy genius, Sean McVeigh, Andy Reid. He's the old buck now. Jim Harbaugh, offense with toughness. Very, very often do you say that. An offensive coach that has like a toughness reputation. Sean Payton, kind of that same realm as well. His teams are tough.
Starting point is 00:21:07 All those coaches that you just said, they'll always literally be in playoff contention just because of how well. We didn't even say the coach that won the Super Bowl. Nick Siriani. No, we didn't even say it. Like these coaches are all legit, man. They're all legit. I mean, it's going to be tough to make a first and second team with them.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Nick Seriani's, yeah, he is on there. He is on there. He proved them all wrong. He shaved his head. He won the Super Bowl. I mean, is he going to be first team? I mean, he won the Super Bowl jewels. How does first team, how are we going to, you know, just rate it?
Starting point is 00:21:37 Is it from like beginning of the season all the way through the Super Bowl? I think I'm going to go first team, Andy Reid. What do you think, Rob? I mean, it's got to be a combination between both of us in order to get a first team and second team. I can't have my own first team. This is the dudes on dudes first team. So I'm going to have to agree with you if I want Andy Reid to be on the first team. I would say so because I believe they won all those games this year because of their,
Starting point is 00:22:07 coaching like they were ready in all situations of football all the way down to the wire to win those games because of coaching. I mean, that's how you win close games is because of good coaching and being prepared for all situations. So I can't really argue with that. Andy Reid is definitely going to be on here as first or second team. But if you say first team, Jules, I'm going to go with you that first team. I think he's first team for this reason. What you said, I'll piggyback off of that to keep a team motivated to go back to the Super Bowl after being back-to-back Super Bowl champs, that's tough. You know, that's really tough to do.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Whatever, you know, there's so many variables to going back-to-back. No one's even gone to a Super Bowl after going back-to-back. They did that. They want a lot of football games. They want a lot of close games. And that's a lot of coaching. Coaches doing the right thing in practice, getting their teams up ready for those types of situation. They were a situationally tough team this year.
Starting point is 00:23:12 That's coaching. You know, they didn't have the best roster that they've ever had, and they still went to a third straight Super Bowl. I mean, that's Andy Reed and his other coaches. So this is not just Andy Reid. This is the whole coaching staff of that team. So I'm putting him at one. Who do you think for two? I'm on go with coach.
Starting point is 00:23:33 rookie rookie head coach dan quinn at number two i mean with the washington commanders he had a up and down season but mostly up and then when they went down they they found those ways to you know come back and learn from their mistakes and bounce right back and being a rookie you know head coach actually he's not a rookie head coach dan quinn was a head coach am i correct right yeah yeah yeah we beat him in the super bowl when he was with alana being you know first year with the commanders taking the organizations but just been dreadfully just absolutely terrible over the last two decades and turning around like that with a rookie quarterback.
Starting point is 00:24:13 I'm going to have to, you know, tip my hat off to him. I think Dan Quinn deserves to be second team. I would agree. That's a historically really bad franchise. And they've had a lot of noise these last five, seven years. They've had a lot of noise. I remember as a kid. when they were the Redskins,
Starting point is 00:24:35 the Washington, D.C. area, they fucking loved football. That was the biggest stadium in the National Football League until like 10 years ago. Like the, whatever, that was a huge stadium. The people in that area love the Redskins, now the commanders.
Starting point is 00:24:54 And, you know, with the distractions and the crazy shit that they were going through to flip it with new owner, new head coach, new quarterback, go and represent or go to the NFC championship. That was, that's huge. That, that's, that's, that's never been done. Um, so I agree, Dan Quinn and his coaching staff, Cliff Kingsbury, the rest of the fellas,
Starting point is 00:25:19 you know, Dan was, that, that was a great situation and that was a great coaching. Uh, that was a great, that was a great coach job this year. Mm-hmm. A quick story about when we played, Washington. I think it was FedEx Field. It was the only time I played there. Actually, I played there once in the playoffs for Tampa. You dragged the dude in. You had a monster game. Yes. And I told DM Branch prior to the game, I go, DM Branch, watch what I do today. And then I came out. I had six catches for 160 yards and two touchdowns. And I broke the most. That was the game that I broke the
Starting point is 00:25:52 record for most touchdowns by tight end. I caught my 14th touchdown pass in that game, baby. So memories for life. I remember, didn't the guy, like pull your pants down or something almost. Yeah, it was that big ass defense event. I had a Ted call. And then the defense end had to guard me because I fake blocking him. And then he held me. And he grabbed you and then you broke it. Oh, man. I forgot his name again for all pro guy, pro bowler. Oh, just so many D.Ns. I just can't remember it right now. That was a fucking monster game. Let's get to quarterback for the all
Starting point is 00:26:26 dudes team. First and second team. Quarterback of the all. dudes team first team for me Patrick Mahomes really you're going with Patrick Mahomes I'm going to go against that you're going to put Joe Burrow as the first teamer here in this situation I don't even know if he's on the list you know he's not even a candidate but to me I mean that guy balled out for the Cincinnati Bengals
Starting point is 00:26:56 this year I know they didn't make the playoffs but I mean that that don't matter he balled like he He was a, you know, first team all pro guy out there out on the field, just launching it up to Jemar Chase and company. And he came through, man. It's just they don't get a lot of coverage at as well, like a lot of press in the media. So you don't hear much about him. That's why you're talking that. That's why I should go to Cincinnati as well to, you know, bring a little bit more hype, uh, to that, you know, position there in Cincinnati because they have a quality guy.
Starting point is 00:27:27 I put him as first team. I'll give you, I'll give you first team because he had. numbers. He played an elite year to a point where we've never seen someone play that well and not make the playoffs. Now, the playoff thing, that's crazy, but if we were to build a team right now,
Starting point is 00:27:48 I wouldn't mind putting Joe Burrow because Joe Burrow knows how to play with not great offense-aligned play. Joe Burrow knows how to be productive when things aren't going great for the, you know, in general, for the offensive unit. That guy just balls regardless. It reminds me a lot of the Brady factor.
Starting point is 00:28:07 You know what I mean? Brady, even when our O-line wasn't blocking the best, he used to get the ball out quick, get it to his playmakers, you know, he changed the play, figure a way out, gut through. He definitely does that. Second team's got to be Patrick Mahomes then, bro.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Yeah, Patrick Mahomes, second team for sure. I mean, what about Josh Allen, though? I mean, he was MVP of the league. He didn't win. He didn't beat. Yeah, right. You can't put, you can't put Patrick, you cannot not have Patrick Mahomes in top two. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:28:36 And I'll give you Burrow. All right. I like, I like that Burrough pick, but Patrick Mahomes has to be in the second. You know, I love Josh Allen. I love that. All right. I mean, no one's willed their team to win like Patrick Mahomes. I mean, he did have another kid.
Starting point is 00:28:53 He went 15 and two, third straight Super Bowl appearance. I mean, Joe Burrow, as well, almost through for 5,000 yards. this year. He had 43 touchdowns. And is there any one that's more of a dude, than Joe Burrow as well? And same with Patrick Mahomes when you were telling a story about him on a previous show
Starting point is 00:29:13 about, you know, pounding some beers with him back in the day when he was right before he was a rookie. So I'm just glad that you agree with me with Joe Burrow being the first team. Yeah. But if if like we were shipped to a planet in a different
Starting point is 00:29:29 galaxy. What planet? What planet? What's the name of the planet? I mean, the scientific name is probably like G4-58-6-4. Because it's in a, you would take a black hole to a completely different galaxy. So it's like essentially the same planet as Earth, but it's G5, 6, 40, 6, 6, 9. And if you were to take it one quarterback there to like try to make quarterback on that land. I'm taking Patrick Mahomes, bro.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Mm-hmm. I feel you on that. Or Joe Burrow. Because Mahomes, I understand. I would take Patrick Mahomes too in that situation because Mahomes can adjust to all situations of football. And that's why their team went to the Super Bowl once again.
Starting point is 00:30:22 And that's why Joe Burroughs team didn't make it to the playoffs. That was a good explanation right there. Joe, Joe's got to get to. it going here, man. You know, I love they got to, they got to, I don't know, man, that's, you can't not make the playoffs. You got to. You can't start so. They got to, they got to fix that somehow, some way
Starting point is 00:30:45 this offseason. They can't start slow. That loss to the Patriots at beginning of the year is why they didn't make the playoffs. 1,000% like, but they, they have never started fast. Like, you got to change something in order to get change. Sign the gronkster.
Starting point is 00:31:00 sign them sign the grongster all right let's go to receiver all dudes team i mean this is gonna be easy i'm already going to tell you whose first team is right now right off the bat i'm gonna go with jamaura chase i mean he's triple crown and that's just enough said i mean the guy is thick he's a speedster he's got a deep ball he's got the short game he's just overall the best wide receiver in the game his numbers proved that once again this year jules i think him one and two, him and Justin Jefferson. I mean, he just had the triple crown. I think that flip-flops, you know,
Starting point is 00:31:40 depending on the year with those two, because they both fucking just eat. They just eat. And I love Justin Jefferson. I saw him at the Super Bowl. I love his attitude. Mm-hmm. Like he's a, you could tell he's a cool,
Starting point is 00:31:53 like he reminds me of, like, how you were as a superstar. Mm-hmm. When you have a superstar that, like, wants everyone to get fed, that's cool. That's like, and you could just tell that vibe. He wants success for the team. You know, that's a humble way of being. And you can feel that with Justin Jefferson. It's not just his production, his elite athleticism.
Starting point is 00:32:18 It's how he is as a leader. I fucking love with Justin Jefferson. Receiver Easy 1-2, Justin Jefferson. And Jamar Chase. Jamar Chase being first team. Jamar Justin Jefferson being second team. Let's go to slot. We got a slot.
Starting point is 00:32:34 It should be named after you, Jules, the squirrelly slot. Because you kind of created the slot position a little bit. I mean, you didn't create it. It started back in the day. There's a lot of guys before me. There is, but you kept it going. Wayne Corbett. The Deon branches.
Starting point is 00:32:50 The West Welkers. But Troy Browns. You brought it to the table. Deon Branch, Troy Brown, West. Walker, Squirrely slot. Amandola's in there. He's not Amandola anymore. He's the dancing Amandol. All right. Squirrely dancer slot. All right. I'll give you my first second. You can agree with me. And then I'll give you
Starting point is 00:33:09 honorable mention first. All right. C.D. Lamb. All right. He's definitely top two. All right. I agree with you. Those are my two. My honorable mention, which I'll give the rookie slot. Dude. All dudes team is Ladd McConkin. He had a really good, he had a really good year for, for that team. Like he made a lot of big catches and he, they didn't have much help. He didn't have much help. He's the only one that stepped up to the table as well as a rookie.
Starting point is 00:33:42 As a rookie. And that wide receiver room. He's the one that stepped up. I love Smith and Jigbud too for Seattle. He's a fucking baller. No sophomore. He's silky. Hey, and we, hey, we got to also talk about Jacoby Myers.
Starting point is 00:33:55 You got to throw him in there. and he's not just a slot, but, you know, he eats in the slot. He keeps the chains going. I think, but Jacoby, he can go up and be airborne. He can airborne slot. He can basketball you. And his release game is sick. I'm on Rance, St. Brown.
Starting point is 00:34:13 I love his blocking. I like his attitude. He had a lot of receptions. He's great with the ball in his hand. I would put him one. And then I would go CD Lamb, two. honorable mention Jacoby Myers, Smith and Jigba, rookie, all dude, Ladd McConkey. I agree with you, brother.
Starting point is 00:34:36 I agree with you 100%. I really love that honorable mention. I think this is one of the few where we can mention an honorable mention because Ladd McConkey definitely does deserve it. I loved what he did in the playoffs this year. I mean, he did it all year. Third down, he was a little machine. And everyone in the, you know, the stadium knew that this little, you know, guys,
Starting point is 00:34:54 They're going at him on third down, and they, you know, continue to not stop them. We'll be right back after this quick break. Here we go. Hey, I'm Cal Penn, and on my new podcast, Here We Go Again, we'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself? You may know me as the second hottest actor from the Harold and Kumar movies, but I'm also an author, a White House staffer,
Starting point is 00:35:21 and as of like 15 seconds ago, a podcast host. Along the way, I've made some friends who are experts in science, politics, and pop culture. And each week, one of them will be joining me to answer my burning questions. Like, are we heading towards another financial crash like in 08? Is non-monogamy back in style? And how come there's never a gate ready for your flight when it lands like two minutes early? We've got guests like Pete Buttigieg, Stacey Abrams, Lili Singh, and Bill Nye. When you start weaponizing outer space, things can potentially go really.
Starting point is 00:35:54 really wrong. Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now because it is. But my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future. Listen and subscribe to here we go again with Cal Penn on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The forces shaping the world's economies and financial markets can be hard to spot. Even though they are such a powerful player in finance, you wouldn't really know that you are interacting with them. And even harder to understand. Donald Trump's trade war 2.0 is only accelerating the process of de-dollarization, which in a way is jargon for people turning away from the dollar. That is where the big take from Bloomberg podcast comes in to connect the dots.
Starting point is 00:36:40 How unusual is a deal like this? Unprecedented. Every weekday afternoon, we dive deep into one big global business story. The biggest story of the reaction of the oil market to the conflict in the Middle East is one of what has not happened. Katie, you told me that ETFs are your favorite thing. They are. Explain that. Why is that the case? And unpack what it means for you. Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples,
Starting point is 00:37:06 and so they sort of become outsized indicators of inflation. Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's what I've been told. And that's a half-truth is a whole. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy Kilder, we know.
Starting point is 00:37:48 A story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and. nerve this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all said it.
Starting point is 00:38:19 They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her.

Starting point is 00:39:07 Michael Lewis here. My book The Big Short tells the story of the buildup and burst of the U.S. housing market back in 2008. It follows a few unlikely but lucky people who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception. It was like feeding the monster, said Isman. We fed the monster until it blew up.
Starting point is 00:39:30 The monster was exploding. Yet on the streets of Manhattan, there was no sign anything important had just happened. Now, 15 years after the Big Short's original release, and a decade after it became an Academy Award-winning movie, I've recorded an audiobook edition for the very first time. The Big Short Story, what it means when people start betting against the market, and who really pays for an unchecked financial system, is as relevant today as it's ever been, offering invaluable insight into the current economy and also today's politics.

Starting point is 00:40:17 chair of Women's Health and Gynecology at the Atria Health Institute in New York City. On this show, I'll be talking to top researchers and top clinicians asking them your burning questions and bringing that information about women's health and midlife directly to you. 100% of women go through menopause. It can be such a struggle for our quality of life, but even if it's natural, why should we suffer through it? The types of symptoms that people talk about is forgetting everything. I never used to forget things.
Starting point is 00:40:47 They're concerned that, one, they have dementia, and the other one is, do I have ADHD? There is unprecedented promise with regard to cannabis and cannabinoids, to sleep better, to have less pain, to have better mood, and also to have better day-to-day life. Listen to Decoding Women's Health with Dr. Elizabeth Pointer on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you're listening now. Let's go to running back.
Starting point is 00:41:15 First and second team, easy. It's going to be hard to pick. It's going to be hard to pick, but there will be honorable mentions in this. I mean, it's Sequin Barclay and Derek Henry, right? Yeah, no doubt about that. And it's not really that hard to pick either. If there wasn't Sequan Barkley, you know, Derek Henry, would obviously be first team in a second.
Starting point is 00:41:35 But with Sequin Barclay's year this year and winning the Super Bowl going over 2,000 yards, you got to put him as first team. Like this is unanimous right now, Jules. There's no arguing this situation right now. Great honorable mentions. Gibbs Electric was with Detroit. What I love about him is that his receiving game out of the backfield as well, 52 receptions.
Starting point is 00:41:58 Without a doubt, Sonic, baby. Sonic. And then Josh Jacob. was a great addition for Green Bay this year. He runs hard. I love him tackle to tackle in between the tackles. Mixing was a freaking, I thought he carried Houston. They were, they, they were my disappointing team of the year. And the only shine they really had throughout the year were, like, periodically, mixing would have huge games. He had an effective year. Cook for fucking Buffalo was dangerous. And he, he was dynamic.
Starting point is 00:42:33 and he was a whole other reason why they were so dangerous this year. And Bucky Irving, I mean, you got to give a shout out to it. Was he a rookie? He was a rookie this year, yes. It's incredible what, what Tampa's doing down there. Those general managers, they got Rashad White as a rookie as well out of the backfield and Bucky Irvingney. Those guys know how to draft.
Starting point is 00:42:53 They do. So I think that's a no-brainer. One, two, Sequin, Derek Henry. I agree with you, brother. Fullback. all dudes team full back let's go uh i want to i want a mean green just fucking bruiser fullback i mean if we're talking about the goats of the fullback position i mean we got to talk about mike austin leon lorenzo niels what about what about refrigerator parry coming in his fullback as well oh that's
Starting point is 00:43:31 kind of what reminds me of one of our top two, I think. Patrick Ricard. Guy was like 300 pound D tackle. They converted him to a fucking fullback. And he's been a pivotal, a pivotal reason why they have so much success
Starting point is 00:43:47 in Baltimore on the ground. Especially in the red area. That guy blows holes up. He's like your prototypical fullback. So I'm going to give him our first team. He reminds me of a James Devlin type, just bigger. My second team, who's checked, Kyle for the Niners.
Starting point is 00:44:07 His versatility reminds me a lot of Tom Rathman, who was a 49er back in the day, fullback. This guy, you can line him up outside, throw him a screen. He can also do dirty work in between the tackles, the wham, bams, whatever you want to call him. He's a smart football player, Harvard guy, play DN. got a lot of versatility. He's got a lot of reps in a lot of different areas. So like he's a hybrid kind of, I would put him in an F that could do fullback stuff. But like Patrick Ricard, he is like a big
Starting point is 00:44:43 he just reminds you of a fullback. Am I wrong? You know, you're not wrong. I mean, you got to love a guy like Patrick Ricard because the fullback position, you want to see someone that's wearing that freaking neck brace like our guy James Devlin. Like James Devlin looked like a complete like a mean, vicious fullback and that's how you want a fullback to look in. Patrick Ricard has that look in him. And that's what football fans appreciate is just someone that's grounded, just looking for any work that's out on the field to just hit someone even if the play is not even around them. I guarantee these two dudes Patrick Ricard and Kyle Uzcheck. I could probably put a 99.999 percentage guarantee on this. That in the weight.
Starting point is 00:45:30 those guys have smelling salts and they tape their wrists and they have knee braces. Mm-hmm. Like if you're a fullback and you're not fucking running the radio in the fucking weight room with a box of smelling salts, your knees wrapped up for your squat and your fucking fingers taped, you're not a fullback to me. Mm-hmm. James Devlin, shout out. Spot on.
Starting point is 00:45:54 Spot on, Jules. A shout out to the Ivy Leagues. Shout out to the Ivy Leagues. getting foolbacks left and right. James Devlin Brown, ooze check fucking Harvard. What's up with these smart dudes wanting to use their goddamn head so much?
Starting point is 00:46:07 Maybe them Harvard and those Ivy League boys are not the smartest kids. These guys are using their head every fucking play. Well, maybe they are the smartest kids and they got to use their head because they're so smart tools.
Starting point is 00:46:20 They got to just bang out all that info. They're banging out info. Shout out. First team, Patrick Ricard, all dudes team. second team Kyle Uzchek honorable mention Michael Allstock 1999 I mean that's how vicious he was that he's honorable mention and it's 2000 and 24 wow shout out to Mike all stuff for just being an absolute savage and
Starting point is 00:46:43 monster even though I'm giving honorable mention to Lorenzo neal and john riggins they're getting they're in there too they're always on the all dudes team I mean Lorenzo neal did help uh freaking uh LT rush for over what? He helped a bunch of running back. 1600 yards basically every year. Shit. All right.
Starting point is 00:47:05 This is your special forte. Let's go tight end. First and second team. All this is my forte, baby. Well, I'm going to start off. I'm going to start off with the guy that I truly believe he earned it this year. He probably was first team all pro, but it doesn't matter. I didn't even see it.
Starting point is 00:47:24 I don't even have to look because he should have been 100%. But George Kittle. a wrestle mania fanatic w a we a guy i mean george is in his 30s now and the way that he plays the game he still plays it like he's 22 years old out on that field jules he's running hard it's hard to tackle him and he's blocking like an absolute vicious maniac out there like like he's an offensive tackle still and he's giving it his all every play and he's a leader and he's had he's the only tight end this year to go over a thousand yards. Just think about that.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Only tight end this year to go over 1K. I actually, I think. No way. Yeah. Brock powers and go over 1,000 with 112 receptions. No, I don't think so. Did he? No, there's two others.
Starting point is 00:48:14 There's two others. All right, I take it back. George Kittles, not the only tight end that went over a thousand yards this season. Better yard per catch though. Way bigger yard per catch. Yeah, which means more explosive plays and getting the team going, getting that momentum going when you're having those explosive plays. So George Kittle, hands down, first team are jewels. And that it's kind of open
Starting point is 00:48:33 the year. Who's your second thing? Because the number two, let's hear the number two, Rob. I mean, obviously you can go Travis Kelsey. He still got it. You know, he's still got a little bit more to give. And shout out to him, according to the sources, which I'm not sure how reliable the sources are because the sources yesterday said, I was coming back to football. I'm not. But now the sources today say Travis Kels is coming back for another year. So shout out to him. He's got, Fuck, yeah, sources. Shout out the sources, too. Shout out to sources, baby.
Starting point is 00:48:59 He's got more. He's definitely got more left in the tank, though. He's got more left in the tank. He had 97. So you're giving Kelsey, you're giving Kelsey second team over McBride, Bowers. It's either going to be Brock Bowers or Travis Kelsey as the number two. I mean, it's tough. It really is tough in that situation because Brock Bowers did it with like three
Starting point is 00:49:24 quarterbacks, just a rookie, just the way he just runs the ball after the catch is just phenomenal as well. But Travis, once again, I mean, 97 receptions, I mean, went to the Super Bowl, once again came through in the playoffs and the divisional rounds. Yeah, I mean, this is tough one. This is tough one. Do you give it to the young buck or do you give it to the, you know, the OG that's still going?
Starting point is 00:49:52 I think you got to give it to OG because of his old. ORA. You know, dudes not just on field play. It's ORA. To be on the all dude team, it's got to have the aura. And he's got ORA. You're right. Brock Bowers. Rock Bowers. He's got to show that aura. He hasn't shown that aura yet. It looks like he's in every interview. He's got to come out of that show. So, well, definitely I like, I like the way that you're going with that. The dudes on dudes, all team. You got to have aura with it. You got to have, you know, personality, whether this is the first and second team, you know, George Kittle, first team, Travis Kelsey is second team.
Starting point is 00:50:31 And then honorable mention, honorable mention. We'll go with Brock Bowers. And shout out to Trey McBride. He didn't make honorable mention, but he did have 100 catches. Yeah, he was under the radar. I think he had a hundred.
Starting point is 00:50:43 And Dallas Goddard's a really good. And I, catchers. Hey, and then shout out to Andrews, K. I know his season didn't shake out right. But you know that Mark Andrews, you know, works his tail off. And I feel terrible for him because he's probably thinking about that all offseason. I love Mark Andrews. Shout out to him.
Starting point is 00:51:06 And he's also the leading touchdown career receptions in Baltimore Ravens history of their whole organization. So shout out to Mark Andrews, man. You're going to have a bounce back year. I mean, you didn't have a bad year, but you're going to bounce back. strong. No doubt about it. Yeah, he just had a bad ending. Mm-hmm. We all had that. We all have one of those plays.
Starting point is 00:51:30 We do. You just got a bounce back. You don't get over it. You know, how do you get over it, Rob? You just keep going. You win. You win. Yeah, you do. Yeah, you win next year. If you go win, no one will ever remember this fucking, they'll remember it. Right. It'll be more of a backseat to it. Now, let's jump to the all dude O line.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Now we go full line for a whole team. And we, this is called the Dante Scarnikio. Scarnecchio. The Dante Scarnikia. Award. Is this Scarnecio or Scarnecia is my coach? I call him Scar. People are getting at the comment section that I mispronounce his name.
Starting point is 00:52:13 Did we ever hear anything other than Scar? No, it was just Scarnec. Coach Scar. That's all. Oh, Scar. This is Scarnecure. Scar. But I think it's Scarnecia.
Starting point is 00:52:24 If you're asking the guy that knows how to pronounce names right, that never gets them wrong, Jules, besides every other name when I'm on Fox, I'm going to go with Skarnakia. I think it's the A, with the A, with the A, not the O, Skarnakia. So we got the SCAR award, first second team.
Starting point is 00:52:41 I think it's pretty obvious for first team, Jules. Who do you think? I got an offensive line in my mind. They're big, they're massive. They're all about, they average my height, 6,6, you know, about 330 pounds.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Who am I talking about? You're talking about the Eagles. Yes, I am. The largest offense line. Agree or disagree? That they should be first team. I would have to agree. That was pure domination all year long.
Starting point is 00:53:09 And it set the tempo for their whole team. I mean, you know, that that, that run game, they had a 2,000 yard runner, which has only been done like a handful of times, 12 times or something, or nine times. I don't even know. It's not that many.
Starting point is 00:53:27 And they had a lot of guys changed positions and there was not any lack of production. Mm-hmm. Like, they had guys banged up and they had guys interswapping
Starting point is 00:53:40 other guards going to tackle, tackle, center going to center. Like, they had a bunch of ring around the Rosie in that room and they still dominated.
Starting point is 00:53:51 And it's because Elaine Johnson and Malada. and I love having Malada. You know, when you have, we had a tackle from another country. It's always kind of cool. Yeah, shout out to Jordan Malata. He's Australian.
Starting point is 00:54:04 He's the first Aussie to win a Super Bowl. And also he's one of the first players ever to never play American football until he got drafted into the NFL. So Jordan Malada, you represented those Aussies proudly. I just came back from Australia. They love you there. They all brought you up.
Starting point is 00:54:21 And you're a huge fact. into giving the young bucks over there in the Aussie Football League and also the Rugby League, hope that they can make it now to the NFL. You're opening up that pathway, brother. So congratulations on, you know, just an excellent job, just being a beast like that. And so shout out to Jordan Milata, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jergin, who a phenomenal job he did. He had to replace an all-pro player and Jason Kelsey, and he stepped up to the challenge. It's like, you know, it's like Kelsey never even left because Cam Jergin came in.
Starting point is 00:54:53 and just filled that hole. And you don't see. And that's crazy. You don't see that much, you know, especially at the center position. Shout out to Mika Beckton, absolute monster playing guard. Who plays guard at 6'4.8, 350 pounds? That's unheard of. And then this is the guy who anchors the offensive line, who's their absolute leader,
Starting point is 00:55:12 who's an absolute street fighter and, you know, gives them that mindset to dominate Lane Johnson. So that's just a vicious offensive line group right there. If you ever see any of those guys in the streets, I'm telling you, don't mess with them. Don't, don't pick a fight with that. Don't pick a fight with those. They'll fucking protect you out. It just, they'll fucking, I bet you their punches are so, like, that's all the linemen do. And when you go to practice in NFL, you sit there. And when you watch the offense align do their drills, I just remember them having like a 45 or a hundred pound play. And they just do like side shuffle punch, side shuffle punch, side shuffle punch,
Starting point is 00:55:48 side shuffle punch for like 50 minutes for a warm up with like a lot of weight. That's they're just fucking crazy. Number two is going to be hard, Rob. I really do love the offensive line for the Detroit Lions because like they give Jared Goff a lot of time in the pocket. And Jared Goff's not a scrambler. Like you want an offensive line like that that can protect your quarterback so you can just sit back there and just pick apart the defense.
Starting point is 00:56:17 And they're so athletic as. while they're so athletic that they were able to put them, you know, eligible, tackle eligible and throw them passes and reverse screens and all that other crazy stuff that they're doing over there in Detroit. I'm not sure if that's going to continue because Ben Johnson's gone or if that's a contributing factor to Dan Campbell being a head coach. But it's just amazing how involved the Detroit Lions offense lane, you know, became in the whole entire game plan.
Starting point is 00:56:45 So I'm thinking, I'm leading, you know, second team Detroit Lions. But what are you thinking here? I am too. I just remember on Fox kickoff show every week, just talking about the dominance of this line throughout the whole year. That was the common denominator for the Detroit Lions and the success that they had. They had a revolving door of guys coming on defense.
Starting point is 00:57:12 They're common fucking what you knew was coming out every Sunday was that offensive line was going to play. They didn't lose once because of that, that unit. And that's because of Pene Soule and the boys dominated. Shout out to Skip. We played with him a few years back. He's out there getting involved. He was part of that whole, was he eligible?
Starting point is 00:57:37 Was he not eligible? Bullshit. So shout out to them. I have to, I think those were the, clearly the top two lines. There's honorable mentions. with the bills, they had a really great year with Cook. Dionne Dawkins, I've hung out with him a couple times. He's nasty.
Starting point is 00:58:01 You can just tell he's nasty. I would love to have him as, because he always had one linemen that, you know, they're nasty guy. We'll be right back after this quick break. Here we go. Hey, I'm Kelpen. And on my new podcast, Here, we go again, we'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself?
Starting point is 00:58:25 You may know me as the second hottest actor from the Harold and Kumar movies, but I'm also an author, a White House staffer, and as of like 15 seconds ago, a podcast host. Along the way, I've made some friends who are experts in science, politics, and pop culture. And each week, one of them will be joining me to answer my burning questions. Like, are we heading towards another financial crash like in 08? Is non-monogamy back in style? And how come there's never a gate ready for your flight when it lands like two minutes early? We've got guests like Pete Buttigieg, Stacey Abrams, Lily Singh, and Bill Nye. When you start weaponizing outer space, things can potentially go really wrong.

The forces shaping the world's economies and financial markets can be hard to spot. Even though they are such a powerful player in finance, you wouldn't really know that you are interacting with them. And even harder to understand. Donald Trump's trade war 2.0 is only accelerating the process of de-dollarization, which in a way is jargon for people turning away from the dollar. That is where the big take from Bloomberg podcast comes in to connect the dots.
Starting point is 00:59:51 How unusual is a deal like this? Unprecedented. Every weekday afternoon, we dive deep into one big global business story. The biggest story of the reaction of the oil market to the conflict in the Middle East is one of what has not happened. Katie, you told me that ETFs are your favorite thing. They are. Explain that.

Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a half-year-old. handful of girls came forward with a story.
Starting point is 01:00:55 I'm telling you, we know Quincy Kilder, we know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth for that easy to find.
Starting point is 01:01:24 I did not know her and I did not kill her. Or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all said it. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame. America, y'all better work the hell up.

Starting point is 01:03:07 you are lying. Humongous, y'all. They had some time on their hands. Listen to reasonably shady from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. In early 1988,
Starting point is 01:03:26 federal agents raced to track down the gang they suspect of importing millions of dollars worth of heroin into New York from Asia. We had 30 agents ready to go with shotguns and rifles and you name it. But what they find is not what they expected. Basically, your stay-at-home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. They go, is this your daughter? I said yes. They go, oh, you may not see her for like 25 years. caught between a federal investigation and the violent gang who recruited them,

Starting point is 01:04:59 we got the offense of all-dud team pretty much in the bag and we have we'll probably do a defense later but we have two other we have two other dudes that we got to recognize
Starting point is 01:05:13 one is the five vibes guy every team's got a vibes guy we had a couple vibes guys like Nico Kutavides type guy the vibes guy you know in the locker room set in law holding court
Starting point is 01:05:26 there's a vibes guy on all team we need a first and second team all vibes guy we need a first and second team dudes dude all vibes guy a guy that's just always bringing positivity to the room he's lightning the mood up i mean he's just a real dudes dudes type and there's a lot of guys like that you this is a crucial award right here this is crucial to have in the locker room as well because it's a game of football your spirits can be knocked down plenty of times but you always need that guy that brings the vibes to the table and gets you through to, you know, the tough long days sometimes that the NFL presents.
Starting point is 01:06:05 We got first and second team. I'm going with a guy that I finally got to meet. I met him one time. We threw actually. It was quick. So let me take that back, Jules, because I did meet him before. But I never got to meet him like where he was vibing out, where he was truly vibing out. I threw with him before.
Starting point is 01:06:28 And this is James Winston. and we just had a throwing session and I had to go my way. He went his way. But I finally got to vibe with James Winston when he was doing all his, you know, stuff at the Super Bowl this year for Fox being a media correspondent and just doing interviews and making people laugh and going up and down Bourbon Street singing. I mean, he has vibes. He has positivity.
Starting point is 01:06:50 He's just a character in the best ways possible. And I heard so many great things about him when I was in Tampa as well. And I finally got the vibe with him when he was. he interviewed me at Media Day when we were with Fox. So that was cool. I feel like he's first or second team for sure. All right. I like that. I like that.
Starting point is 01:07:09 Baker Mayfield could be on there. Gardner Men's shoe. He's funny. Matt Collins. Shoeless. He seems like a vibe guy. Well, what I love about James Winston as well, he eats those Ws and he loves snow games and you know we love snow games as well,
Starting point is 01:07:25 Jules. We thrive big time. Who's another vibe? guy. Another vibes guy. Matt Collins, I mean, he's got, he's got, you know, those shoeless look and just that more like the, what's that where you're very healthy vibe? Hallucogenic?
Starting point is 01:07:45 No, holistic. Holistic, there we go. He's like a holistic type vibe, if you're into that. I mean, Baker. Lord Jackson. Great dancer. Lamar Jackson seems like he's probably a vibe guy in the locker room. He probably chill vibes.
Starting point is 01:08:01 I'm going Lamar. I'm going Lamar's second team. Yeah. What about, hey, what about, you can't exclude these head coaches. What about Dan Campbell? He sets the vibe every day. Pounds freaking 300 milligrams of coffee before he starts every meeting of his. That's a vibe right there.
Starting point is 01:08:20 What kind of vibes are you wanting right now? Because if it's for me, I want chill vibes. I want Lamar vibes. If you want fucking, let's slam three fucking. monsters and go look to fight, I'm taking Dan Campbell. All right. Well, I'm a little jet lag still and I'm literally just chilling. So I'm going with the Lamar Chats.
Starting point is 01:08:38 You're on Lamar vibes. I'm on the Lamar vibes. There you go. There we go. Vibs guy. All dudes team. First team, James Winston. He just seems like, you know, if you need a Bible verse or anything on a bad day,
Starting point is 01:08:54 he will read it for you. And then number two, Lamar Jackson. he just seems chill to me. Honorable mention. Dan Campbell. Dan Campbell. If you're in that mood. Lastly, all dudes team number one fan.
Starting point is 01:09:14 We've seen them everywhere, especially during the Super Bowl time, the Bradley Cooper's, the Will Ferrells of the world, the Nikki Glazer who loves the Chiefs because of Taylor Swift. The Taylor Swift, who loves the Philadelphia Eagles,
Starting point is 01:09:30 but then fell in love with the Kansas City Chiefs because of her boyfriend. Oh. The Rick Flair who loves the bucks. The big cats who like Chicago, but really like the Patriots. I mean, who is a closet Patriot fans, big cat. Big cat number one.
Starting point is 01:09:49 Come out of the closet, big cat. We know you want to. Oh, my God. You're a Patriots fan, not a Bears fan. First team number one fan. Cat as a Patriots fan. Yes, that is first team by far. First team.
Starting point is 01:10:05 We love you. What happened to? Because that picture that was scrolling all over the internet of you in a Patriot's jersey, man, you look good. You look young. You look fit. What happened, man? Young. Yeah. So he thought he was, you know, he was probably somewhere in like, where is he from? Newton. Probably some at Newton West fucking high school party in his Brady jersey thin. drinking up a tall boy acting cool talking about the pats. That must have hurt. That must have heard him over like the last decade pretending to be a Chicago's bear fan. That had a hurt.
Starting point is 01:10:43 Like how do you know that? He secretly, I mean, he had a lot of success if you think about it. Yeah, but deep down didn't hurt. Deep down. Just not being able to root for your team. Just suppressing the. suppressing the emotions that you're really a Patriots fan. And you got to act.
Starting point is 01:11:04 He gets first team. Act like you're not. Yeah, he's first team. He is. First team for sure. And then I'm going to go recency. Ronnie Stavros. That guy,
Starting point is 01:11:13 he cracks me up. I'm going to be honest. Shane Gillis likes Philly. Yeah, but Shane Gillis isn't number one Phillies fan. He's more of like a college football guy. He's more of like Notre Dame. Like I saw Shane Gallis all over the place for Notre Dame.
Starting point is 01:11:29 I didn't even know that he was. a Philly fan. All right. Who do you got? What about Miles Teller? Miles Teller. Now that's a true fan right there because he represents, he represents the Eagles every single year, year in, year out.
Starting point is 01:11:44 They're good or bad. He also said I saw in a report that even though he's friends with Travis Kelsey, he's still going to cheer for the Philadelphia Eagles to beat him. So that's a true fan right there, still going with his team. He's loyal to his team. And on top of it, he was on the field after the Philadelphia Eagles. won the Super Bowl. And I saw Peter Schrager interviewing him as well live and just,
Starting point is 01:12:07 just how much joy he had that the Eagles won the Super Bowl again. You could see that he's a true fan and he's very loyal as well. So I'm going with Miles Teller actually. I'm thinking about it after all that. Second team Miles Teller of the best super fans, Bradley Cooper. I see him at all the Phillies games too. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:25 But he's only at the big time games, like the championship games, NFC championship games. You've seen Miles Teller at a week six. You've seen Miles Teller at a week eight game. Yeah, I've, I've seen Miles Teller out before. And he's always talking about the Eagles, no matter what time of year it is. It's all about the Eagles.
Starting point is 01:12:44 All right. You talk to me in. Miles Teller. Fucking, I love it. I mean, it probably should have went to Bradley Cooper, but. No, what was his name? He wasn't goose. What was his?
Starting point is 01:12:56 It was rooster. He's still, he's like in his prime right now. Yeah, he was rooster. He was, yeah, he's rooster. He's in his prime in this acting, man. He's, he's, I love his career. From Whiplash to Action Star, shout out to the gorge.
