Had 30 agents ready to go with shotguns and rifles and you name it.

Basically, your stay-at-home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin.

Welcome to dudes on dudes.
I'm Julian Edelman.
I'm Rob Gruncowski.
And this is the show where your favorite dudes get to talk about their favorite dudes.
And on today's episode, which is a very special episode, in honor of the game taking place in Germany,
we're talking about some dudes with some German ties.
Michael Strayhan, he has no fear in anything he does.
Zero.
and Sebastian Wohlmer.
He was so large and so strong,
he could have probably just lifted up his own house.
Like, you know, Patrick and SpongeBob,
how he just lifted up the rock and then went under it
and then he would have been fine.
And Amon Ra, St. Brown's massive role
in the Lions resurgence.
Quarterbacks love players that can get the yak.
Jack Daddy's.
And us dudes, we wrap up the show
by learning to speak German.
The Deutsche Lern.
It's a learning podcast.
Let's go.
Dudes on dudes is a bunch of.
production of I Heart Radio.
The game is the Panthers versus the Giants coming from Munich.
So I thought, Rob thought, we should put out our Lederthosens and talk about some
German-themed NFL things.
Yes, it's just crazy that there's another game overseas in another country besides London, the UK might.
And now this game's in Germany.
And the first game ever to be on Germany was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers like two, three years ago.
The year after I retired in that quarterback's state because he's an idiot and stayed without his tight end.
And then went over to Germany.
Deutschland.
Deutsche and Deutschland.
Well, yes.
Yes.
And now there's another game in Germany.
I think it's so great for the NFL.
It's expanding into Europe.
It's expanding over the whole world.
The game is finally being seen by everyone.
Pretzel?
Yes, mate.
Pretzel with mustard.
That's like Boat, German, I think some Polynesian in there.
I like the accent, Rob.
I can't even speak English properly.
You think I can break and speak German?
Actually, yes, probably.
What do you think about having games in Germany?
I like it a lot, man.
I mean, it's huge for the NFL.
I mean, the NFL has kind of max capacity itself in the U.S.
I mean, everyone watches football in the U.S.
Everyone knows about the game of football in the U.S.
It's about how to expand the game and how to continue the growth of the game of football.
And the NFL has done a great job with that by bringing the games over to Europe,
like in London and now in Germany.
So I think it's a great thing for players.
it's a great thing for the NFL as a league.
I think it's awesome.
I remember when we went to London.
It was exciting to go and play in another country.
And with all the analytics,
you can see where our international fans come from.
And it's been pretty crazy how big the population of fans has grown in Germany.
It's like our second or third biggest country outside of the states that watch it,
along with Mexico and Brazil.
So, I mean, anytime we're growing our sport bigger, I think it's awesome.
It is awesome.
I mean, they got, obviously, football there, the other football.
And now they got football Americano.
So what's cool if, you know, you're from Europe is that you're getting another aspect of sports to watch.
You're getting another football.
Yes.
You're getting another football.
How can you not be excited?
I keep on thinking you say football.
whoopal
Have you been to Germany?
I never been to Germany
but I was around Germany
kind of
I was in Poland this year
You went to the homeland
That's where you're from
Yeah, that is where I'm from
That was really cool
It's kind of a slow
You know, type of feel
In that country
Very beautiful
The land, beautiful
The roads, super clean
The city's super clean
But we're kind of near Germany
But just never made it to Germany
The Germans
Are very close with the Polish
Yes, we have
Noprenobiles
problems with them. We really like them. We just, we, we, we find a natal treatment of being peace
and friendly. This is why we're being so peaceful and friendly by giving them the giants and
Panthers. Yes. That's peace and friendly. That's why we're going to give them the giants and
panthers going to Munich. Yes, that is why, I mean, their Panthers and giants, no threat to
anyone. So no threat to any other team. So here you go. We want to keep peaceful overseas.
Man.
Hey, Jules, I can tell you this.
We're talking Panthers, Giants, the games in Munich this year.
I am not doing this episode without drinking a German beer throughout the whole episode.
You need a heffin wasting?
Please fill me up, brother.
Fill me up.
Heffin wasin.
I mean, that poor is going to be a little foamy, but...
Look how big it is.
The Germans?
Oh, very small.
The German size.
Gerox size.
Is this the first cup that looks normal in my hand, Jules?
It really does.
It looks like a regular mug in my hand.
Oh, October Fest.
What do they say in Germany?
Prost!
Prost!
Ha ha!
How do you say delicious in German?
I think...
Spectacular.
Spectacular.
Wunderba.
Wunderba.
Yeah, puppy.
Hmm.
Ah
That's what it reminds me of
German Fest
You know the big ass buff guy at Beer Fest
That's what Rob is
Is a big fat
Oh yeah mommy
Never seen it
It's pretty funny
Too busy drinking beer
To watch it anyways
Is it good?
It is good
My goal is to drink two beers
Throughout this whole episode
So watch out
I might be blacked out
If I get blacked out
The shirt may be off
And if the shirt's off
There'll be a lot more dudes in the room.
This is dudes on dudes.
There'd be one big dude without a shirt on.
Let's get on Michael Strayhan.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's do it.
Michael Strayhan.
Let's see what the synopsis is about Michael.
Now, Michael Strayhan, German episode.
Why is he there?
Why is Michael Strayhan on the German episode?
Why?
I'm still confused.
I have to say about it.
Well, let's start the clock.
Let's see how smart AI is, why he is on.
on this episode. I don't think AI would even know.
I don't know. Why would they? All right. Michael
Shiham was a dominant defense event for the New York
Giants, known for his impressive career stats, including
141.5 sacks.
Sheesh. Seven pro bowl selections.
Holy moly, 141.5 sacks.
Nine!
Well, oh, ah!
The ballroom in Houston, Texas, he spent a significant
part of his childhood in Germany,
due to his father's military service.
There you go.
That explains it right there.
AI is smart.
AI does have the answers.
AI smart.
After retiring from football,
Strahan transitioned
after retiring for football,
Strayhand transition
to a successful media career,
becoming a co-host on Good Morning America
and an analyst on Fox NFL Sunday.
I mean, he replaced Regis.
Off the field,
he's known for his charismatic personality,
and dedication to his family.
Yeah, he's full of shit.
Why would you say that?
Didn't mention one thing about his gap.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
His teeth.
He's like, he's like known world.
He's literally, that gap has literally been in space.
Man, Michael's Strayhand's so cool.
I mean, he really has been a freaking inspiration
for athletes post-care, post-like football career.
Well, oh, hold on.
I'm going to stop you right there.
He's been an inspiration since the beginning of time, man,
with what he's been through growing up all the way through his college days,
then getting to the NFL and fighting all odds,
and then having that post-career inspiration.
What is he's an Army brat, they call it, right,
when his dad was in the Army, lived in Germany.
I guess his uncle played in the NFL, Artis Strain.
And I think he lived with Uncle.
So he, Pop Shire.
Chipped him from Germany.
Then he went to Texas Southern.
Texas Southern.
Didn't play any high school.
He played high school.
I mean, it's literally the story of fresh prints.
Listen to this.
Except Philadelphia and Germany.
The high school he went to?
Two people.
What do you mean?
Two people.
There's two people in his high school, in his class.
How do you have two people in Germany?
Did you go to high school in Germany?
No, he went to the high school in Texas somewhere.
I just know the continued joke,
Week in and week out with Jay Glazer and Michael Shahan is that Michael finished in top of his class
because there's only two people.
Even I could finish in top of my class when there's just two people.
That's what you call a Valid Victorian.
If we were in a class of two who would finish first.
Depends what subject we're talking about.
Math.
Oh, I'm number one there.
Reading.
Number one.
I can read.
I just can't project that.
Cooking class.
Oh, I'm a cooker.
I'm a cook.
I used to sing growing up, I'm a cooker, I'm a hooker.
And I had no clue what I was really saying.
And my brothers would be laughing at me, but I was like eight years old.
I remember cooking, I'm hooking.
And they would all know what.
What were you cooking at eight years old?
Eggs.
Eggs, just breakfast sandwiches.
Stuff like that.
Very easy.
You think Michael Strayhand would eat your eggs?
He would eat my eggs.
Yes, he would.
And then he would eat me on the field because he was a beast.
He was an absolute.
When you put it on his film, you forget how big he is because he's leaned out so much now.
And, like, he was, like, freakishly big.
I mean, he had 22 and a half sacks in the season.
That's a sack record holder, isn't it?
Yeah.
Yeah, right far when Brett fell down.
But, I mean, regardless, that's what quarterbacks do all the time now.
You know what I mean?
So everyone gives him crap on it.
I mean, he was going to get the tackle regardless.
this. His power, his speed to power move was insane. He was just so strong and long. And you could tell he worked
his dick off. To end the career the way he did, beat the Patriots undefeated season in the Super Bowl,
New York, Boston, then jump over and instantly sit on like Regis and Kelly. I mean,
the guy has lived just a storybook, storybook type life.
And he's overcome shit too.
Yes, he has overcome stuff.
I mean, obviously not really playing football in high school.
I don't know where he played at.
And then I think some other high school around there just took him in, like,
oh, you're in our district.
It's like a story like that.
I'm not exactly 100% sure.
And then he went, whatever college he went to.
Texas Southern.
Texas Southern.
I don't even think he like really enrolled.
It was like, hey, come play football here.
And he just showed up and he was on the team.
Like that's kind of his story, like for real.
And then what?
He was drafted second round.
I think by the New York Giants.
Yeah, what pick overall?
He was the 40th overall pick second round, 1993.
That's mind-blowing right there.
1993 was the year he was drafted.
Let me tell you, he does not seem that old at all.
I feel like he's like, you know, 39, 40 years old to this day.
He's still, he looks young.
He's got the TV shit going.
He does.
It just, it doesn't, you don't age.
You want to know what I really love about him is that.
he has no fear in anything he does.
And that's what makes him so great.
On the field, no fear against who he was, against his opponent.
It didn't matter who he's going against.
He was going to bull rush him.
He was going to do a move to get around him, swim around him,
or absolutely take that tackle.
I mean, I've seen some of his highlights,
and he's just like, I'm going to keep tossing you, buddy.
Like, you know what I mean?
He gave no care.
He would tell you.
He would tell you.
He loved talking trash out on the field.
He had a motor of a mouth.
He had a motor of an engine as a football player.
No fear at all.
And then he had no fear in his after career.
Goes on TV and he's just ready to go.
He doesn't care, you know, what's thrown at him.
He's just going to go with it full speed at all time.
He works his tail off and he's a really nice guy.
Like, you know, we work with him and you could just tell it doesn't matter how big he is in the world.
And he treats everyone like so nicely.
Treats everyone the same.
Teach everyone with respect.
It doesn't matter what position you are in life.
What your job title is.
And I just love his story from A to Z.
When he first got in the NFL, too,
I don't even think he really registered a sack
until like his fourth, fifth year in the NFL.
Maybe a couple sacks,
but I know he didn't really turn onto the scene
until about year four or five.
When you watch him and if you had to block him,
what would you do?
I would have been the guy to just chip him.
I would have just wanted to coach, man.
This guy has a motor.
He's huge, which he's a big guy already.
I mean, I'm next to him on the desk, the Fox pregame show.
But when I watch highlights of him, I'm like, man, he's like three times the size that, you know, that he is right now when he was playing.
And he's big right now.
And he's big right now.
But his arms were massive.
And like he played like a guy that was like stockier and already had leverage because he was huge, huge.
He's like six five, 365.
And he would get that leverage because he can play low.
I got a math question for you, right?
Let's hear.
I love math.
Between his NFL career and his media career, how many hours do you think Michael Strayhan has been on TV?
Oh my gosh.
That's a math question that's over my head, Jules.
How many hours has Michael Strayhan been on TV?
That's a fucking question.
Well, here's the tricky part in a game while you're playing the NFL.
You're not on the TV, the whole game.
No, but.
Yeah.
So maybe like four.
minutes a game.
No.
All right.
I would just say.
Because you're on the TV longer than four minutes because he got you on the sideline.
Yeah.
He was always,
and he was getting so many sacks that they would keep the camera on him.
I would say about a million minutes.
A million minutes.
A million minutes.
How many years is that?
A million minutes.
Can we ask chat GPT or something?
A million.
What does AI say?
Roughly.
Minutes.
I mean,
I said a million minutes.
That's a million minutes.
What else do we need to know?
A million minutes is a million.
is a million minutes. I'm telling you. I'm a math magician. That's what it equals.
What about his get-off? Let's talk about his get-off real quick. I mean, that's what made him a
special player is the ability of him to just burst right off the line and get to the quarterback
and mess up the top of the tackle in a split second is what made him the great player that he is.
And then he had to get-off in his post-career. He had to get-off while he was playing football.
I mean, this guy is legendary. He's a role model in the community.
Great dad. Great dad. Great family, man. Great teammate to have.
Great teammate.
And it's a guy I feel like you would want on your team and not a guy you want to be playing against.
Oh, yeah, you definitely don't want to play against him because he's going to whip your ass and you'll let you know he's whooping your ass.
You think Brett Fier.
In like a funny way.
Exactly.
Exactly.
He does do that.
Yeah, he does do that.
He does that to me.
He does that to me.
He does that to me.
He's very witty.
He thinks I don't notice, but I notice, Michael, I notice what you're doing to me on Fox Sundays.
You're coming at me, but you're so witty.
You're pretending you're not.
I got your game down, buddy.
Oh, but hey, I got a question.
You think Brett Fire was just scared of him, so he kind of let him have that sack?
100%.
Who's not?
Hold on.
Hold on.
My shorts.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Jules.
My shorts are just really short.
Yeah, there we go.
There we go.
And I look better now.
I look more professional.
Yeah, 100% Brett Farh was, I mean, did you see Strayhani looks huge?
Who wouldn't be scared of him?
Huge.
Brett Far, I mean, I would be scared of him.
I was in the pocket and he got a free.
release at yet? Like he beat his
defender pretty easy on that play.
He's the pro typical
defensive end that you want on your team.
Size, speed, get
off, power, leg strength.
Good in the run. And pass,
obviously. Could he cover?
Did he ever drop? I saw
I saw like one fumble
return for a touchdown. Also,
crazy, fun fact about
stray. Tallest guy ever to be in space?
6.5. 6. I'm calling
him. So if I go to space, I'll be to
tallest guy, Jules. Are you going to go to space? I'm always spacing out. So yeah, I'm the tallest
guy ever to go to space, Jules. So was he like weightless and everything? He got to do the whole,
that's pretty crazy. Good thing he lost that plane week because I don't think he would have been
allowed up because he was really big back then. Like he would have been way too big for the spacecraft or
whatever. Imagine his spacesuit. It's probably huge. They probably had to get extra fabric. Man, would you go to
space? I would love, uh, I'd let them do it a few more times. I would go to space. We should do a show
in space. If you go to space, I'll go to space. But like, I agree. Let's like, let's like have like,
let me get it like 20 more people go on like the commission. Yeah. And then we would go like once we know
it's really safe because we don't want this show to die. All our fans love this show, man. We can't.
And we can't. We don't think that there. We don't think, but you never know. We can't have this show like
just disappear like that. No, on space. It could be called.
Dudes on space.
Dudes on dudes in space.
Dudes on dudes.
Spacey dudes.
Spacey on dudes.
Kevin Spacey on dudes.
Space dudes.
Oh, man.
Space dudes on dudes.
Space dudes on dudes.
All right.
Time.
What kind of dude is Michael Strayhand?
He's a whiz, man.
I think he's a whiz.
He has a lot of innovation, which he has.
He innovated the position, the defensive end position.
He also innovated.
you know, a career after football.
It kind of gave birth to you.
He kind of gave birth to myself.
He gave birth to many others out there because as a football player, as an NFL player, people
think, the pro-typical thing out there that people think is, hey, that person can just
play football.
That person's just an athlete.
While he's the one that kind of broke that mold for us athletes and then having a
better career after football and he had an unbelievable career, Hall of Fame career,
and then having an extra Hall of Fame career, you know, post-football.
got to give it to him. You got to be a wizard. You got to have that innovation. And he sure does.
But he's like definitely a dude's dude. Because anytime you're at Fox, like he's always a fun
dude to be around at work. Yeah, he is a real fun dude to be around work. He's so witty, man.
And he's on at all times. And if you watch his highlights as well on the football field,
you know what I mean? He's just talking garbage at all times. He's always on. It's something that I
admire, man. I know. That's always on at that size too. Because people that size, man, it takes more to
always be on. You're that size.
Exactly. I'm that size and he's always on.
He has a gift, man. He was born
with a gift. There's no doubt about it. And he
was a freak of nature on the field
too. So he's also
a stud. This is tough. He is a stud, man.
He's a stud off the field. He's a stud on the field. I mean,
and he's a dog too because he don't give up.
I mean, he looks so long. He kind of looks like
Derek Henry out there. Yeah, he's a big
version of Derek Henry. Oh, yeah.
Good point.
So a dog, though.
What do you want to go with, though?
What summarizes him best?
All right.
On three, you say what you say?
I'll say what I'll say what I say.
One, two, three.
Stud.
Come on, Joel.
We got to, you know, be more on the same page.
You know?
Freak, you think he's a, why is he a freak?
I mean, I mean, he used to take freaking 330 pound off the tackles and just throw him to
the ground right out of his way and then get to the quarterback and drop him right to his knees.
And it's pretty.
freaky that big ass dn football player is sitting at the table talking to like housewives all around the
world and they love them that is that's freaky that is freaky and it's freaky how he can talk 24
7 as well and he's always on he can come up with an answer and a solution for anything that's thrown
his way and he can do interviews he's really good at interviews he's all purpose man he's freak
Stamping it. He's a freak.
He is. Freak.
We'll be right back after this. Quick break.
All I know is 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 handful of girls came forward with a story.
I'm telling you, we know Quincy.
Kilda, 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 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.
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.

May 24th, 1990, a pipe bomb explodes in the front seat of environmental activist Judy Berry's car.
I knew it was a bomb the second that it exploded.
I felt it ripped through me with just a force more powerful.
and terrible than anything that I could describe.
In season two of Ripcurrent, we ask, who tried to kill Judy Barry?
And why?
She received death threats before the bombing.
She received more threats after the bombing.
The man and woman who were heard had planned to lead a summer of militant protest
against logging practices in Northern California.
They were climbing trees and they were sabotaging logging equipment in the woods.
The timber industry, I mean, it was the number one industry in the area,
but more than it was the culture, it was the way of life.
I think that this is a deliberate chance to sabotage our movement.

A hundred percent 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.
They're concerned that, one, they have dementia,

You know?
Very strong.
Very tall.
Very tall.
It made me feel like a dwarf.
Like a little boy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was a little boy out there, actually.
Over his career, he started 80 of his 88 games that he played,
helping the Patriots win two Super Bowls, Super Bowl 49 and Super Bowl 51.
Yeah.
Born in Dostledorf, Germany.
Dostledorf.
Dostledorf.
Womert didn't start playing football until he was 14.
14?
14.
Four.
Yeah, one four.
Nine.
After retiring in 2016, he became a booming NFL broadcaster in Germany, often acting as a Patriots ambassador.
Off the field, he's known for his down-the-earth personality and dedication to promoting football in his home country.
And some fun facts real quick, Vomer was won a barbecue cookoff in his neighborhood.
What a fun fact that is.
What a barbecue cookoff in his neighborhood.
AI, man.
A-I's?
Hey, I.
Where did you pull that from?
Jesus.
He's an avid beekeeper.
Oh, my gosh.
He's a beekeeper?
He ate all his honey.
He ate all his honey.
That's why he's 6-8.
That is why he's 6-A and freaking tosses up weight like it's nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.
That's where I was going.
And he once accidentally locked himself out of his own house while wearing only his underwear.
That's on AI?
What the heck?
I think I love Sebastian even more.
That's a Sebastian-type move, though.
That's a C-Bass move right there.
Oh, my God.
Seabat.
Oh, my God.
He was so large.
But he was so large and so strong.
He could have probably just lifted up his own house.
Like, you know, Patrick and on SpongeBob, how he just lifts up the rock in his house and goes,
and he should have just lifted up his house, like, threw it up in the air real quick, and then went under it.
And then he would have been fine.
He lit, we all used to live next to each other in that street.
Yeah, we did.
He could definitely probably lift that house up.
What was the name of that street again?
What was it?
Che Lane.
Che Lane.
I was Shee Lane.
I was Shea Lane. I was on a passion with Shea Lane.
And then you were pacing, but you were like half, half a mile, if that, away from us.
Yeah, it was a bike ride away.
Yeah, bike ride.
Freaking Seabas. We were drafting the same draft.
He was such a big dude.
And he was always really smart.
Like, he always had really great questions to like Scarnacchio or Josh.
I just remember him always being able to like, hey, coach.
but what if this happens on this and we're in this?
You know, like he had a really outgoing thought process of the game
for someone who never grew up around the game.
Mm-hmm.
Or really knew the game.
Yeah, he starts playing out 14.
Yeah, you can start playing out 14,
which is different than kids that start playing in 14 here,
but it was so natural here.
Also, when he was playing at 14,
it wasn't like real football he was playing.
What league was at?
It was like club.
It was, yeah, it was like some type of club football.
It wasn't the same rules.
Wasn't the same schemes.
None of that.
I mean, there was some similarities of the league that he was playing in when he started
playing football, but it was nothing like American football.
I don't think so.
So where he'd go to University of Houston, where he had a pretty solid career there.
And then the way he got to the Patriots, I'm pretty sure, like, the New England Patriots,
they were looking for an offensive tackle at the time, you know, to, to, to, to,
start for them or just to back up.
We needed someone, yeah.
And, yeah, and I'm pretty sure he played in the East West game.
East West Ryan.
After being, you know, in college at the University of Houston.
And that's when he really got scouted by the Patriots.
And I'm pretty sure the Patriots Santante Scarnacchio, one of the best offensive
line coaches in the history of the game.
No doubt about that.
I mean, he's the reason to a lot of our success in New England.
And what's wild is, like, he's tiny.
Like, you know, offensive line coaches are usually offensive linemen beforehand.
Like Dante Scarnacki had demanded a room.
He was older, like 75, 70s, what, 5, 10, 180 pounds.
And he just lined up his offensive lineman like a drill sergeant and just control them, like unbelievable.
I remember the first air rookie camp, Scar yelling at C-Bass saying, like, you guys, you fat pieces of shit, better start
running.
Because while you guys are out here, bouncing around this league for five, six years,
I'm going to have to work out Walmart because I'm going to get fired for not getting you
to be able to play.
It's like the first day of rookie OTAs.
I'm like, oh, my God.
I don't know if it was going to Seabast, but I was like, that was my welcome to NFL moment.
Like, holy shit.
And then they scouted Sebastian.
They had a workout with him.
I mean, I saw a clip of Dante.
He did his pro day.
He did his pro day.
and he put him through a workout.
And he said that, you know, Sebastian was smart.
He did everything that he was told.
He picked up on everything.
He picked up on the schemes right away.
It's just showing how smart he was.
And they also talked about how Sebastian learned that English language.
How was that, Rob?
And that was just watching American flicks.
She's American TV.
American TV.
Man, I watched German TV and my eyes are going to space.
Faster than Michael Strayhan went to space.
This guy learned English.
How'd you learn English?
Oh, just learned it.
Growing up, just did.
I was around it a lot as a kid.
Being around my mom, my dad, my brother, friends.
Who was your first word?
Mama.
Mama.
But it was Baba.
Mama.
I wonder what Sebastian's first word was because it's not Mama.
That's English.
Yeah.
What do you think it was?
It's probably like, oh, ma.
Oh, ma.
Oma's grandma and, like, German.
Opa.
You want to know what Bill Belichick once said, too, about Sebastian Vomer?
What do you say?
Is that when Sebastian would utter things underneath his breath?
What in, like, German or something?
Yeah, in German.
Yes.
He knew that it was never good.
He knew it was never good.
That's a great observation, Coach Belichick.
That's called scouting right there.
Sebastian was athletic.
Great side.
Hey,
I'm scouting Sebastian right now, okay?
I know you're getting excited.
He's athletic, great size.
He was light on his feet.
He has 36 to 38 inch arms,
depending on the workout that he did that day.
He's thick everywhere, dude.
I'm telling him he's thick.
His calves, his quads, forearms,
biceps, triceps, abs.
He's thick.
It's like he almost had a six-pack,
but he didn't because he was so big.
but he dick, like, thick boy, man.
But he wasn't, like, fat.
No, he wasn't fat at all.
Now he's like a bodybuilder.
Mm-hmm.
He's shredded.
He looks so good right now.
He looks like a tight end.
He looks like if Van Dam was like 6'8.
Mm-hmm.
He's that ripped right now.
He's got good feet.
He always had good feet.
He was always on balance.
I was working out with him.
Bryans.
Yeah.
EPS.
EPS.
Yes, EPS.
My, going into my second year in the league during the lockout.
Yeah.
The NFL lockout, we would always be working out there.
I just remember him working.
working out and like, I was just amazed how strong he was.
He took a hundred and forty pound dumbbell.
Just went right on the bench, grab the other one just like this, that easy,
and just started tossing it up for a set of 10.
140 pound dumbbells for a set of 10.
Like it was nothing.
The Germans have particular beer that makes them very strong.
Well, then let me keep drinking, Jules.
I want to be very strong like Sebastian.
And if he was drinking beer to make him strong,
I need another beer.
Fill me up, please.
I already had one.
I want one more.
I got you.
While you fill me up,
how about the time
when Coach Belichick put him out there
and he's told Sebastian Vollmer,
hey, if you catch this punt,
we're done for the day.
Everyone's off practice.
Hey, that's, hey, that's,
no meetings.
What happened?
What did Sebastian do?
He caught a punt.
He caught a punt.
He gave us training camp.
That was early in our career.
It was.
That was my, I think, my rookie year
or my second year in the league.
I think it was my second year.
But that was great.
See, Bass, thank you for coming through.
I'll remember it, you know, for the rest of my life,
that you got me off meetings at night.
Thank you, amen, because those meetings are way too long.
His first start in 2009 was that Tennessee Titans game
where it snowed in, like, October 15th or something like that.
He was replacing Matt Light, who was starting.
I think he got banged up.
We didn't give up a sack.
Like, it was his first game in, pressure was on,
young football player from Germany
and helps give up zero sacks,
and we blew out the Tennessee Titans that game.
Like what, 59-0-0?
It was 59-0-0.
You know, I don't know why you guys,
you know, won that game, 59-0-0
and why Tom threw like eight touchdown passes
in the first half?
Because he was very comfortable
that Sebastian Bowmer was his left tackle.
He was comfortable.
Just like we were all comfortable
when Coach Belichick said,
hey, Sebastian Bowmer,
do you catch this punt right here
on this windy day at training?
camp when we've been running you guys for 15 straight days into the ground, not a day off,
full pads, twice a day.
If you catch this punt, I'm going to give you guys meetings off tonight.
But we will have practice tomorrow, but you guys will have meetings off tonight.
And what do you do?
He caught the punt when he didn't have meetings.
He caught the pun so I could go home and do this quicker.
We got to give him a little bit more credit in his broadcasting career because he has made
a name for himself in the country of Germany because he's bringing the game and a lot of
awareness of American football and bringing it over.
And he's doing a great job to translate it.
I see a lot of things.
He translates English to German.
Translator.
Yeah.
Help people in that country understand the game.
So he's doing a great job expanding and having an unbelievable role like that.
Without a doubt, he's making the game bigger.
He probably loves his home country.
He does.
And he loves football.
Mm-hmm.
And it's great for him to be able to share the game that he's loved with the people
where he's from.
That's like some beautiful stuff.
It's beautiful like Europe.
It is beautiful.
Like Poland,
actually.
Poland's beautiful.
And that's why, you know,
Sebastian's so beautiful as well.
Because Poland's right near Germany.
It might connect,
but I don't think it does.
I think they touch.
They touch.
That's why we just sympathize for each other.
And we have so much connection because I'm a Polack.
He's German.
And we just have that, you know,
tightness.
we feel each other, we understand each other.
And he's just a good guy.
I'm a good guy.
I'm just going to keep drinking and just keep getting emotional because I'm blacked out.
It's a beer and a half, tools.
Time.
All right.
All right.
What is he?
You ready?
You ready?
I just broke out of it.
You're in it.
I was in it.
What kind of dude is Sebastian Vomer?
Is he a stud?
I mean, he is pretty studly.
If you think about it, a guy that came from,
he's probably one of the badass dudes from his country,
never played our country's most famous sport,
most popular sport,
and comes in and becomes a fucking damn good football player.
All right, on three, you say what he,
you think he is, I'll say what I think he is.
All right.
One, two, three, whiz.
Yeah, baby, give me some, give me some.
Obviously,
Probably, we know him, we played with them.
So we're going to be on the same page of what he is.
I mean, he's definitely a whiz.
If you think about it to be able to come out out of high school from Germany to go to a university in America and play American football,
learn the language through TV, be as smart as he was on the field.
You never saw Emmy from Sebastian Vomer.
Like he's for sure a whiz.
Clutch catching the punt for us to get us.
the night off of meetings.
Like he was the guy.
He's a whiz, for sure.
You said it all, Jules.
You said it all.
He's a whiz.
Guy Smirters can be picked up the schemes,
one of the hardest blocking schemes in all football.
Just like that.
I think he picked up English better than you and I speak it.
No.
He sure has.
And if you ask him, he would agree to that as well.
He definitely would.
I love those two, but they cook.
That's what you would say.
Is that very crazy?
I love him.
I love him.
We love you, C-Bass.
All right, let's get to our next guest.
This shit's so stupid that it's freaking funny.
That's the whole point of it, right?
Like, what's the whole point of the show?
It's too great what kind of dudes each guys are.
Or dude.
Oh, well, I got really off track because I thought it was to be silly.
I mean, we're silly while we're doing it.
Oh, well, then we're both on the same page.
100%.
We both have our own goals.
Yours is to rate dudes.
Mine's to be silly.
Sometimes you've got a rated dude to be silly.
You're okay.
Well, let me rate another dude.
Let's go.
Who are we rating next, Jules?
This is a German episode.
The Germans are very serious.
I'm sorry for joking around and trying to make people laugh and be silly.
It's a serious show now.
Nine!
That means no in German.
This beer tastes like Sauerpatch Kids.
It's not lying.
Yeah, it's really sweet and tasty.
It's like a wine.
It's a hefen, I think.
Well, it's very good.
There's got to be sugar in here or something.
I'm telling you.
It's really sweet.
I think that's like a huge part of beer.
It's delicious.
Sugar.
Is that what they do?
That's how it makes the alcohol.
Really?
Yeah.
Really?
Okay.
I didn't know that.
All right.
Hops.
Let's get on to Amin-Rah, St. Brown.
What is the AI have to say about
Amin Rae St. Brown.
Start the clock.
Amon Rae St. Brown, a standout wide receiver for the Detroit Lions, is known for his precise
route running and reliable hands.
Since his debut in 2021, he's consistently shown his talent amassing 346 catches for 3,877 yards,
and 24 touchdowns.
Man.
He made a name for himself at USC before hitting the NFL.
With German roots adding an interesting twist to his backstory,
St. Brown carries a rich heritage.
Off the field, he's known for his genuine down-the-earth nature
and commitment to giving back to the community.
He's for the kids.
He's a good guy.
I watched him on receiver.
Hard-working guy.
That's for sure.
He's been working his butt off ever since he was a young buck doing all the ladder drills.
His dad was there to train him.
That was Mr. Universe twice.
How crazy is that?
Twice?
Twice.
Whoa.
There's like videos of Amal Ra and his brother who's also in the league.
What's his name?
Equidinius.
Yeah, I'm not reading that.
Dude, that's so hard.
Equanimius.
You want to know what equamenius means?
What is it?
Well, there's like, sometimes I like just know things.
Like, it's just wild.
You're gonna probably be mind blown, but equididemius.
There's things I can't say, but there's things I know.
Equanimius.
But it's the Egyptian god of medicine.
Oh, I'ma.
Tep is the Egyptian God of medicine.
Oh my gosh, Jules.
Okay, let me redo that one.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Do I know equanimous atop toppings?
Emo hot tip?
Yeah.
Emohat tip?
What does it mean?
The Egyptian god of medicine.
That's tough to say, and I can't believe you knew that.
I just know things like that.
So Amirah is the Egyptian king of gods.
Equaminous.
Emotep is the Egyptian god of medicine.
Osiris is Egyptian god of death.
Those are some badass names.
His dad had a plan for these kids.
He definitely had a plan.
And they're going out and they're executing.
I'm such a fan of all Melrose, St. Brown.
You want to know who he reminds me of?
The way that he plays the game.
The way that he runs his routes, bowl routes, in cuts, out routes.
Like you, Jules.
Like you.
You guys are very similar, my man.
We do have similar game, I feel.
I mean, because he moves around a lot.
He's great with the ball on his hands.
And most importantly, you both are boxer ripped.
He's ripped.
You're ripped.
He's ripped.
You guys have similar built.
Same height, I think.
I'll tall of you, 5'10.
5'10.
5.10.
What's this?
Oh, never mind.
He's 6 foot.
He's 6 foot.
I'm sorry, Jules.
He's 6 foot.
But you're both ripped central.
He's fine.
He's versatile.
He makes big catches.
And I'm excited for him in the Detroit Lions.
I mean, he's going to be a cornerstone of this organization and where they're going in these next
few years and hopefully it's it's to the top i think it's time for detroit to have their time he has
great yak ability when he catches the ball he makes guys miss always he's strong runner strong lower
body he doesn't just help out the team he helps out jared golf tremendously as quarterbacks love
players jack daddy i mean it just pats their stats big time and i mean he can track that ball yeah
he's good at tracking the ball he tracks a ball he's really good at that and i would say that might
pertain to you know some training with his dad
because when I was growing up, my dad would hit tennis balls at us, like really high and we would have to track the ball.
And then he would hit it like full speed as too.
So our reaction time would just improve week and week out as a kid.
So he kind of had a similar, you know, style growing up brothers, obviously to compete with.
And then also his dad, you know, putting him through drills and training right away as a kid.
So being able to track a ball just goes way back to when you're a child.
And he does a great job with it on the football field.
100% had crazy dad that made him do crazy job.
drills. I'm part of that club as well. I remember my dad when I was getting into the league to return
punts. I never caught punts really. I did a little in college, but I was a quarterback. And I would
get on the press box at the high school and punt off the press box while I had those a pair of
sunglasses that were taped with one eye closed. So I had to catch a punt off of my dad kicking it off
the press box when my sister was throwing little like tennis balls at me. So distract me. Like,
you know, having the crazy, he definitely had crazy dad that made him do crazy drills.
You can just tell.
Well, we did too.
We did too.
That's why we really liked this guy.
Love this guy.
Tough guy.
He plays with toughness.
It's tough.
It's crazy when one of your guys on your offense,
one of the toughest guys in your offense is your receiver.
It's very rare.
And he's like that.
He brings the toughness to that team, him and Pentee Sewell and a lot of the guys.
But he's one of those guys.
You watch him in the run game.
His blocking and the run game is huge.
He goes in, lays hat on the safeties, digs guys out for force.
You can put him anywhere.
He makes catches in every spot.
He can run ball down.
He runs good go routes too.
I mean, he's not just a slot guy.
He's a versatile guy, ball great in his hands, hard to bring down, way faster than you think.
He's elitely quick.
He's stronger than what you think.
He's a fucking good football player.
That's why he getting paid.
He's getting paid $30 million.
$30 million?
I think he's got a $30 million contract.
Oh, gosh.
That's more than you made your whole career.
Damn near close.
I feel bad for you, Jules.
Hopefully this podcast helps you out.
Hopefully the podcast will.
I'm going to raw, man.
I'm trying to make slot receiver you.
You come join, dude.
Yeah.
Can you also tweet out, you know, this podcast because we're just trying to make some money.
Jules made his whole career, made $30 million, you know, which.
And now you made it in one year.
So can you help us out?
Can you help them out?
Can you tweet us here?
I'm Hey, Mon, please, please, thank you.
Thank you.
Do you think our dad's could beat up his dad?
Maybe if it was two verse one.
Two, yeah.
I think that would be tough.
Papa Edel Dog, Papa Granc versus Papa St. Brown.
That would be a fucking- Coming to a arena near you.
That's a cage match.
My dad just got a hip surgery, so I think he'd be a little out right now, but he'd bite some kneecaps.
He'd do some Dan Campbell shit.
I think Amman has been thrown.
throwing a couple TDs as well, which is pretty cool.
I've been watching, you know, Detroit Lions.
I'm a fan of the Lions, actually, especially with Coach Dan Campbell.
They're just fun to watch.
And he fits the system.
100%.
And he's bringing, you know, that type of style to life that Dan Campbell wants.
And that's why he's such a great mold there in that organization.
And it's cool because they do all the trick plays.
And he's so versatile that he can throw the ball as well and do what, you know, they're asking him to do.
So obviously you throw.
on a couple passes in your career.
How would you rate his passes that he has thrown, Jules?
How many touchdowns he's got?
He's got through a tutty to, what was it,
what was it, a 2024, week four against Seahawks,
had a receiving touchdown and a throwing touchdown
and a passing touchdown.
He threw it back to Jared Gough.
Yeah, he did.
He threw it back to Jared Gough.
It looked like a tight spiral.
He's so strong that you know he got tight,
he probably got a strong ass on.
And he laid it in perfectly.
Yeah, he could throw the ball.
He could throw the ball.
One trade I would say that Dan Campbell, I've seen him talking about him in a press conference,
is just how consistent he is with his routine.
And to be a great player in the NFL, you've got to have a great routine, especially as you get older,
especially as the years continue to pack on you.
You've got to have that routine to be, you know, consistent so you can go out there and do what you need to do out on the football field.
When you're 20, 21, 22, I mean, there's a little routine, but not as big of a routine that you need to be when you want to consistently be on top of your game.
when you start hitting your mid-20s to 30s.
And Amon Rae St. Brown has a routine.
He's going to play for a while.
And he's a great player out there.
And just huge props of him for what he's doing in Detroit.
Real mature of him to realize the routine, too.
It's such a young part of his career.
Like, if you're, that's a mature mindset.
If you're, that's like a pro.
When you get in a locker room, you have your time dialed out for what you have to do
to get your work in to make you better each and every day.
And you could just tell he's a product of that.
routine does the same shit probably does the catching drills before the game which i think he does
he has the weight the weight routine i bet you he does a lot of prehab i mean he's he's definitely a
routine guy but he's his mom's from germany right he speaks german he also speaks french
he speaks english he's got a great podcast with his brother 33rd team after scoring his first
touchdown in 2023 you remember the little hip thrust thing he did no i don't can you show me
The key and pill, he's like, yeah.
Oh, no, I remember.
He said he would have been flagged if he gave one more pump like the key and pill.
Yeah, he knew.
He's a smart guy.
He knew one more pump.
He speaks like six languages.
One more pump, he was done.
One more pump and he's done.
Oh, here it is.
One pump, two pump.
And he stopped.
That's, that's discipline.
That is discipline.
Dan Campbell wanted to see that third pump too.
Did he?
He did.
No, he wanted a 15-yarder?
No.
He wanted to see in the locker room after the game.
Yeah, all right.
Dick Kimble.
Crazy.
Well, Jules, have you ever been flagged for a celebration?
I have not.
Really?
I got fine for throwing the ball in the stands.
Yeah, that's not a flag, though.
Yeah.
Did you get flagging?
I did one time.
I actually rock-spiked the football.
really hard and coach balochick always hard don't spike it near an opponent because if it hits anyone
it's a 15 yard penalty yeah and i literally spiked it was rissa jets i think it was a monday night game
or a sunday night football it was my second year in the league when i was going off scoring all those
touchdowns and i gronk spiked it and no one was around the ball literally went like 15 yards that
way and it hit the guy in the shoulder and there was a flag thrown and then all of a sudden he was like
oh, whatever, personal foul number 87 on the offense. Penalty will be added on to the kickoff.
And I was sitting there like, how did I just get a penalty? Like, what did I just do? And I watched
the replay and they showed the ball going like 15 yards all the way over to the left and hitting
the Jets player in the shoulder. Yeah, it was the weakest penalty I've ever gotten. Because you're
too jacked. You literally threw the ball so hard at the ground and went 15 yards the other way.
It was like the same power as Mr. Olympian, Mr. St. Brown.
Mr. St. Brown.
What a badass to have sons in the NFL like that.
And he's more jacked than all of them.
I don't think he was.
Well, he was.
He was.
Yeah, he was.
Those guys are pretty jacked.
And the apples don't fall too far from the tree.
They're all jacked, man.
They're all jacked.
Would you rather have a dad that's Mr. Universe or an arm wrestling world champ?
Tyson Bayegett?
Remember the backup QB on the Bears, his dad, over the top, fucking Sylvester Stallone,
trying to win the goddamn sell-on.
I would say an arm-wrestle champion dad of the world because it just kind of lasts longer,
you know, you'll always have that power as an arm wrestler.
Even when you're like, even when you're like 605.
I know.
But I feel like that doesn't last as long.
I mean, you're still going to be jacked, but like as an arm wrestling champion.
But if you're the most jacked guy in the universe.
Mr. Universe. He's the jackedest.
You would be the ultimate dude, actually,
if you're the most jacked-est person in the world.

Because he knows all 16 wide receivers that were drafted ahead of him,

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.
A story that law enforcement used to convict six people, and that got the citizen investigator on national TV.
Through sheer persistence and nerds.
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.
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.

May 24th, 1990, a pipe bomb explodes in the front seat of environmental activist Judy Berry's car.
I knew it was a bomb the second that it exploded.
I felt it ripped through me with just a force more powerful and terrible than anything that I could describe.
In season two of Rip Current, we ask, who tried to kill Judy Barry?
and why.
She received death threats before the bombing.
She received more threats after the bombing.
The man and woman who were heard had planned
to lead a summer of militant protest
against logging practices in Northern California.
They were climbing trees
and they were sabotaging
logging equipment in the woods.
The timber industry, I mean, it was the number one
industry in the area, but more than it was the culture.
It was the way of life.
I think that this is a deliberate chance
to sabotage our movement.

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 Eisman. We fed the monster until it blew up.
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.
