In early 1988, 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. Five, six white people pushed me in the car. I'm going, what the hell?

We thought we were going to be on the same page there, but we were pretty close. Well, they clearly were on the same page because they just won another Super Bowl with all the distractions they had all year.

New running back, say quad Barclay goes out. So we fire Serrani for acting like crazy maniac on the sideline Yon-F fans. I mean, I was completely wrong all year. They went against all the odds.

We get to talking about our favorite Pat's jerseys of all time. I still have my jersey that I wore on Thursday night football hung up in my house because I loved it that much. What countries are in Asia? And what countries we want to visit in Asia. Is Asian like the same as

Chinese food? And building the perfect slot receiver. A.K. Julian Edelman. This is as easy as that. Just imagine that type of player right there. That's a 99 rating on Madden if you ask me. And then we wrap it up with the chillest dude of the week presented by Coors

Light. That number to leave a voicemail is 561-203-5-7-89. Now let's get into it. Dudes on Dudes is a production of I Heart Radio. What's going on, Rob? Where are you at? Hey, Jules.

How you doing, man? I'm just in Florida right now, relaxing, taking in the sun, laying by the pool, you know, just chilling out, man. I just went absolutely ham. I was talking to my brother actually yesterday, and I told him, hey, I might as well go back to football because I'm grinding harder than I ever grinded before and I'm not even playing football. So like I might as well go back because playing ball would be easier than what I've been doing

over the last six months. But I appreciate, you know, all the people in my life. I appreciate all my jobs. I'm definitely thankful for every job that I had throughout the season. I would just say the travel was really tough. That's where the grind is. So I'm just chilling right now, getting back into a routine, getting all my workouts, but just overall, I'm very thankful for the last six months.

Football season was amazing. you know, it was entertaining. All the jobs that I have were entertaining from going on the K Adams show to, you know, doing the Fox pregame kickoff show going on your show before my show on the Fox kickoff show. So just going out of the shows was amazing. Hell of the shows all over the place.

So I'm doing good though. Very thankful for it all. Wait up. People got to realize like this Super Bowl, it's busy. It's a busy time of the year for us, especially if you're retired athlete and you're in the media game. Rob had so many obligations. Like I was busy.

I had obligations that and working events that I had to go to. And I did a lot. And Rob did like twice of it. Like we had a, when we did that shoot for the start of the kickoff show with Lady Gaga and the responders, we woke up at three o'clock. We woke up at 2.30 to do that. And then we,

we we we did that from four fifth three 15 to four 30 and then rob had like two other shows to do i had a break until my media day but rob back to back two fucking uh uh freaking appearances which like it was a lot like i was i was feeling for you big dog like rob when we any of us had any free time like we we all just went to our room and did nothing rob's getting n-d treatment ivies It's like we've come a far, we've come a far way, far from the days where, you know, at the Super Bowl, we'd be partying our faces off. Well, put it this way, Jules. I didn't even go out one night. I actually went to a fan duel party Friday night, but I went from 930 to 1030 only.

I did the right carpet. And then I watched Megan the Estali and go on from 930 to 10 and watch her shake her booty all over to place, which was, which was fun to see, you know, her perform her big time songs and get the crowd going. And that was the only night I technically went out and it was only till 10.30 p.m. I had three drinks throughout the whole entire time I was there on the five nights I was in New Orleans, which is pretty impressive. Last time I was there for the Super Bowl in what, 2013 or whenever it was, I probably had three drinks and three minutes one of the nights that I was there. So I'm proud of myself. We're growing up a little bit, Jules. And I like it, though. We're more responsible. And that lady Gaga shoot. It was just so sentimental and powerful and it was just bringing America together on the biggest day in sports, which was just really cool as well. It was well worth waking up at 2 a.m. Even though I went to bed at 11 p.m. and woke up at 1 because I was nervous. I was going to oversleep my alarm. And then I did that shoot, which we were like delirious.

We were just cracking up and making silly jokes with all the police officers there and first responders, which was really cool to see all them. And it's just so cool to see their personality as well. they were laughing at whatever we were saying. So I really like them because when people laugh at our jokes, I really, really tend to like them more. And the National Guard, they were cool as heck with those machine guns, AK-47 is just going across their chest. And then I went on Good Morning America to promote the kick of destiny number three

at 7 a.m. And then I had my first feature ever with Travis Kelsey. And you were nervous about it. And you killed it. I was nervous. I appreciate that, man. You killed it. And then you had an on-field interview.

Yes, and then I had an on-field interview, my first ever with Dallas-Gotter. That was really cool. But Dallas-Gotter and Travis Kelsey, I want to give a shout-out to both of them because that feature was my first with Travis Kelsey and that on-field interview. That was live was my first with Dallas-Gotter. And I appreciate them because they made me feel comfortable when they walked into the interviews. Like, thank you guys. Like they were loose.

They made me feel loose because I was nervous. It's the first time I've ever done that. So those guys are super cool. I was cheering for them both. And they both had great seasons. And I respect them both as players as well. Yeah, I was a, that was a crazy game.

That was a crazy game. It's, I feel bad for the Chiefs because they didn't put their best game out there. And anytime you go into the last game of the year and you play your, that was like their worst game. You know, and you got to tip your cap to Philadelphia because they beat the shit out of them all game. But like, you know, they didn't get, they didn't put their best product

out there. They didn't pick up the protections. They got manhandled by the defensive line. Vic Vangio, you got a shout out coach Vic for Super Bowl. He's been coaching in a league, I believe, since 1986. I mean, I actually got to ride back with him after the Super Bowl. So, you know, we did the, we did the post game show, right? Yeah, how did that happen, Jules? Yeah, so I did my post game show, which was really quick. I had about one segment. And then I saw that you guys came on after us. And you were on for how long? We were on for like an hour. And it was awesome. We got to interview Sequan, who just a humble dude. I've had relationships with him over the years. He's no one better to win a Super Bowl than Sey Kwan. We talked to A.J. Brown. And it was awesome to get

to catch up with him. We had a cool story. I left him a note in his Super Bowl. What inspired, What inspired you to leave him a note at his lacquer? Well, Rable, when we were practicing at the Greenbrier against Tennessee in A.J. Brown's rookie year, I think Rable or my boy, B. Bell, who I played with that Ken State, who was a strength coach, they introduced us and wanted me to go talk to him. You know, he was these young gun talent that had, he was just like a phenom. You know what I mean? They just, you know, I was at that pinnacle of my career at that time.

And so we just went and talked and we talked after that. And he still remembered what we were talking about. And I kind of just gave him a reminder that it's a long ass game. Stay in it. And I'm so proud of where he's gotten to. Like, that was his rookie year. And to see that he's a top three receiver in the national. football league now and he's been doing it at a high level for a consistent amount of time.

A lot of noise, but always balling. Like I was just so proud of him because, you know, he was vocal. He wanted to win. You know what I mean? So, you know, did it bring back any memories for you when we were doing all that stuff? Yeah, when I was when I was reminiscing with you in the green room and just being on the field for the sidelines. and then also being on the field and seeing all the confetti just come down everywhere. It definitely brought back those good memories, especially from Super Bowl 49.

That was 10 years ago when we beat the Seattle Seahawks. I mean, I just remember that confetti to a tee because that was the first Super Bowl that we won. And I believe the coolest Super Bowl that we won, too, because it was the first one. It was such a good game. And we beat the Seattle Seahawks with the best defense in the league and stopped them from going back to back. But the coolest moment I would say for me at the Super Bowl. Super Bowl game this year was before the game even started. Yeah, I got to interview Dallas got it for my first live interview ever.

But Nick Seriani was walking around on the field as well, about two, three hours before the game. And I was just chilling. And he came up to me. And we just started chit chatting for about five minutes. And I learned something cool about him that he's from the same hometown that I'm from, well, the same city that I'm from. And that's Buffalo.

He grew up in Jamestown, which is about. and our bus ride that we used to take up to go play Jamestown High School, even though he didn't go to Jameson High School, he's still from the town of Jamestown. And that's when I knew we had a great conversation about just Buffalo as well. But that's when I knew, Jules, that the Philadelphia Eagles were going to win that game when I found out that Nick Seriani was from Buffalo, New York. It all makes sense. Mm-hmm.

I loved him, man. Cool dude. You know what? Great dude. have a conversation with as well brought a lot of passion and energy and he's got a lot of heat i've given him a lot of heat i've given him a lot of do that well i just it's just a different way of what i i'm a product of you know like the way he coaches and his style of coaching which you know there's multiple ways to the top it's just you know some of the things which i'm sure he would agree with me

that he regrets doing like some of the antics he does like, you know, now that you want a Super Bowl, you got to act like you've been there. You know what I mean? And he's done that and he's gone. And they, you got to tip your cap to him and his staff, Howie Roseman, both the, he's going to have another, another tough job ahead of him. Both the coordinators, gone. Well, what's cool about Nick's.

Big Stan, but Killam Moore. You know, so like, but I got to say, man, I'm really impressed with, with his ability to ignore the noise because there was a lot of noise around this team this year and I thought it would take, I thought it was going to take them down, but they fucking proved me wrong. They proved me wrong.

They said, fuck that. We're noisy. That's just how we are. We got a coach from Buffalo. That's right. But they ignore the noise big time, but also Nick Siriani. I feel like he kind of just grew up just out of nowhere in middle of the season.

Yeah, he was doing all his antics, but then like after they were two and two and all the antics happened all of a sudden boom he was just on point from there and the antics kind of stopped and like he shaved his head yeah yeah i mean look pretty good with a shaved head but but it was just like all focus on football stop with the antics stop with the extra doses of everything going on same way j brown and then everyone just became like came together as a team it's like they needed that to all happen they came together they came together they came together and they came together and as a team and then from there on now every single player from the coaches you know to the top of the organization everyone was acting unselfish and that's why they won the super bowl this year that's why they're champions because you got to be an unselfish football team in order to be champions especially a j brown i mean that guy's an all pro wide receiver and he was getting targets like he was the third fourth guy on the team just because of the system that they have with sayquan barkley Barkley running the ball so much and how successful they were with that.

But just to see them. Like 25 times, 24 times. Blocking down the field for Sequin throughout the whole playoffs so Sequin can just burst out those 50 plus yard runs. That's an unselfish football team. That's an unselfish player. And that's by the champions. You've got to be unselfish in order to be Super Bowl champs.

We'd be remiss not to talk about the exciting whites. The exciting whites. It was really an exciting white this. game. Yeah, they were, they were on point. Blankett ship, he did have a couple. I saw Blankett ship had a couple, he had a couple stuffers. He had hard.

He was solid. I mean, he didn't let up like any big time plays. They tackled well, like they did their job. They tackled really well, dude. That was the game plan. That team, Rush four, knew how to tackle. Just that, that was a, we haven't seen a butt whooping like that since Denver. you know what I mean

the Denver Super Bowl in New York against Seattle? I mean a little bit And you guys Yeah When I was in Tampa I'm telling you That was the same exact blueprint

That we had to beat The Kansas City Chiefs And the Super Bowl in Tampa I mean we rushed for But you got to have the personnel In order to rush for I mean we had Nademik and Sue Vita Vea

We had Shaq As well Coming off the edge and then we had JPP coming off the other edge as well. I mean, that's a dominant four right there that, you know, is very hard to defend and block. And they were getting after Patrick Mahomes.

If you can get after Patrick Mahomes, he gets frustrated in that pocket, you know, if he feels the pressure. Yeah. You know, it's not like Tom. He didn't play his best game. Tom knows how to handle that pressure, Jules. He knows how to, you know. He just gets a ball out quick.

Where, wherever, you know, the health needs to come from. And he gets the ball out quick. and he knows how to, you know, do that to a T. But, you know, Brady struggled against that Spaggs defense in 07. I mean, Spags gives quarterbacks. I mean, he didn't play like where they didn't cross the 50 bat or anything. But, you know, it was, it was tough. Where do you think the Chiefs go from here?

You know, they're kind of in a tight salary cap situation right now. I saw earlier today that, like five guys on their team are going to be. counting against their cap about $1,000, I think $75 million. I think if they take up like around 70% of the cap just through five guys, which is absurd. So they're going to probably have to restructure some contracts, you know, possibly cut a guy or two, you know, hopefully get, you know, some good draft picks that can come in right away and make an impact. Veach, Vich will get him something, hopefully.

They got to, Brett Veach, he, they address problems pretty quickly. Like as soon as they lost to you guys, that Buccaneers team, they revamped that freaking offensive line in one year. Remember that? They revamped it one year, boom, gone. But that's already a revamped offensive line. I mean,

I just know, but I'm just saying, for them, defensive line was so dominant. And I was saying that for the whole two weeks going into the Super Bowl game. I said, if the Philadelphia Eagles want to win this game,

they got to put pressure on Patrick Mahomes in the pocket and make them feel uncomfortable. And that's what they did. That's how you beat them. I don't know how you pressure. any team, really. It is. It is. I mean, everyone says that. I'm like, well, shit, if you get pressure in the middle of the pocket on him and Lamar and in Tom Brady and then they all hate it. It sounds a lot easier than it is to get done. I can tell you that. Now, did you eat anything good in New Orleans? Yeah, I want to. Gumbo. Yeah, I had some gumbo. You know, it just reminded me a lot about Forrest Gump when I was there.

these menus. First, I couldn't read the menu. Like, there was like a hundred different spices on each entree and I'm like, what the heck is this? Like, and they're like, oh, there's like 50 spices on each entree that I had no clue what they were. So I just saw the word steak in one of the entre. So I just ordered that. And I was like, that's what I'm going to get that, that one right there. And I pointed to the menu. And it was difficult. I mean, but what was really- Gator? I ate some Gator. I ate fried Gator too. It tastes like chicken. It tastes like chicken. I only had a couple pieces because it's still weird. But it was so cool about New Orleans.

I never really been there like that because I usually go there and play and you go to the stadium and then leave. But what was so cool is just a history there, like being on Bourbon Street, just seeing, you know, all the bars that were built in 1905 and they're still standing like that. The history was definitely special down in New Orleans, which I appreciate it. Yeah. I went on a huge, like, research spree when I was. was staying at my hotel because we were on the Mississippi River that four seasons. So I was like, man, I kept on seeing these big ass tankers drive by. I'm like, what's up with this Mississippi River?

And then I, lo and behold, I fucking go down. I get a damn history lesson on the goddamn Louisiana purchase. And, you know, I'm sitting here reading that this thing, this Mississippi River goes up to goddamn Dakotas. And it's one of our goddamn ways to get all our trade up to the damn thing. so Louisiana purchased 1803 15 million bucks what a steel who's that wasn't a steel back then they needed that 15 million dollars jewels bro that goes from Louisiana all the way up to the Dakotas all the way to the Dakotas it's Canada at that time

it's not like that just were just that little that's a big ass purchase who is the coolest person you met oh oh man it was actually on the sidelines in the pregame show. I was just chilling there watching it all. It was kind of like 10 minutes before the National Anthem. And this big guy with a hoodie up comes walking over to say, what up to Strayhan? But I was kind of like in front of Strayhand.

And so he just had to like walk through me. So he just said, what up to me real quick? Just a quick handshake. And I was, who was? I was just thinking in my mind like, who is that guy? Like I know him, but like I don't know him. And then he walked away after he said, what up to Strayhand? and I asked our security guy at Fox.

I was like, who was that guy? He's like, that's Master P. I was like, no way. I was like, no, no, I was like, that's Master P, baby. I grew up listing to Master P and just freaking, it was awesome, dude. I actually got pumped up. I kind of got some chills.

Master Pika, who? He's big, isn't he? I heard it was him. Yeah, massive, dude. He was like 6-5, like probably like 280. Massive, man. It looked like he could play linebacker. He tried to play in basketball.

He almost made it. Anything he played in like the G league or some? I don't know. I used to love Master P. Oh, I still love him. So that was the coolest dude that I met while I was, you know, in New Orleans. How about you, Jules? Who's the coolest person that you met?

The first time, so I went to Chief's practice and I got to meet Andy Reid. And that was cool. cool because I never really met them. Well, I mean, we play against each other, but you never really get to meet someone for the first time really getting to be in an area. It was cool. How was that?

It was fun. I mean, that's when I started missing it is when you get to see the practice. You know, you're at the college. I think they're at Tulane. You know, you go to college field, nice grass, fast tempo practice. Seem pretty clean.

But it was just cool to get to meet Andy. You know, we've competed. competed against each other for so many years in so many different facets and I've respected the hell out of them. You know, so it was great to meet him. Brett Veach was cool. Who is the guy?

Who's the comedian that, my guy, I'm blanking on his name that is Dr. Phil. Adam. Adam Ray. I had a cool conversation. I went to that Burke Kreischer show with Nikki and killed.

Tony, Nikki Glazer, kill Tony, Tony Klitchcliffe. How was that show? Oh my God. Anything like the rose or better? Crazier. Crazy. Crazy.

I wish I went. Those guys were, they were hilarious. Shane Gillis was where I didn't get to catch his. Tyreek Hill was, did a bit with, uh, with Ray. Yeah.

What did he do? He went up with Adam Ray who's dressed like Dr. Phil. and like they did just he just asked him questions and it was funny Tyreek Hill looked like he reminded me of like a heel wrestler he was like playing up to the character hell of good he was taking his shirt off and getting at the crowd and so I was like I went up to him after the show I'm like Tyreek you need to do fucking WWE or something dog because A he could probably do like 600 backflips

off the top ropes and do some athletic shit and B he he he was so good with the crowd. I thought it was awesome. It was fun. Got to meet him afterwards. He was talking about our podcast. That's cool, man. He wants to come on Tyreek.

He's, Tyreeks like, I want to come on. I was like, dude, no problem. Dudes on dudes. We need another dude so we can interview the dude. We might have to go that way sooner than later, Jules. The Super Bowl, though, it was a fun event. I enjoyed New Orleans.

I thought it was great. Like if I wasn't having to drive around, that would have been the perfect place if I could just walk to some, you know what I mean? If we could like for the fans and stuff and like for everything was super close for that standpoint. It's a great Super Bowl city. Yeah, definitely a shout out to the city of New Orleans. They did such a good job hosting Super Bowl 59. It was well organized. Traffic kind of flew, you know, flew as well.

Traffic was tough. It flowed. I thought it was tough for how many people were there. I thought it flowed. We got caught behind a damn Marty Grave fucking parade one a day or I don't know. We were up. We just got up there. How many people were there?

I think it was pretty well done. Just, you know, the National Guard, all the police officers, thank you guys for everything that you do. Yeah. To keep, you know, the whole entire city safe throughout the whole week. No doubt about that. Felt totally safe there as well, which was really cool. It was a good relaxing feeling to know that.

And I want to give a huge shout out to the whole entire Fox team as well, Jules, from the executives to the cameramen, to the directors, to the producers. I mean, to put that pregame show together, the halftime show, the postgame show, you know, a five-hour pre-game show. Just thank you to everyone that was involved to make it happen. Wardrobe ladies. Hair, makeup, hair, everyone. Without you guys, we would have never.

ever been able to shine like the way that we shined, you know, as a whole out there on the pregame show and halftime show and post-game show. So appreciate everyone. They did a great job for what you guys do. It's a team effort and it's definitely felt, you know, what type of impact you guys all make? So thank you. Rob, what was it like playing catch on Bourbon Street? That was really cool. You know, it was a segment. I was surprised, you know, to do. because I didn't really know that Tom was coming to our set, you know, for the pregame show. I mean, he's got a busy schedule. He's got to study up on the teams.

He's about to commentate for about three, four hours of Super Bowl game. And let me tell you, Tom knocked it out of the park. He did. Tom killed it. For all Super Bowls. He destroyed it. I'm proud of him, man, from where he was, week one, all the way to the Super Bowl man. I mean, he's an inspiration.

And he shows that if you put the work in, you know, you're going to get better and you're going to get the job done. So I appreciate you, Tom, man. Your proof, you know, to a lot of people, why you are the role model that you are, man, to the young fellows out there. You put the work in and it shows. Still the old fellas, too. Definitely. Old fellows as well, 100%. But he's my role model. I'm old. And then we're on Bourbon Street. We're doing the show and they're like, Rob, go up in that rooftop. Tom's going to be on that rooftop and he's going to throw you a pass. I was like, no way. I mean, whatever you can catch a pass from Tom Brady, even though, you know, know, even when retired, you're going to catch that pass from Tom Brady.

I mean, we did it at the NFC championship game. I know you were jealous that you weren't the one receiving the past jewels and you had to cover me, but I got to receive it. And if I was covering you, I would have probably tried to go for the interception. Rob. I would just want to, I would just want that feel again, you know, like what playing. I caught, I was the number one guy that I caught most of his balls, the most to catch his balls. Yeah, you did.

You could have them. I'm trying to catch up. I wish if I could, if I could get those yards. If I can get those yards, maybe. I'm trying to catch up in that number of catches, but it was just cool, right? He threw it across to me. I don't know. He threw the cross.

There was actually some wires in the way as well. Right, Rob. Which was the defense. And he threw it over the wires. I made the catch. The crowd went crazy. And I did the first ever Bourbon Street, Gron spike. And boom, spiked it from up top on the, you know, where I was on the roof.

the ball bounced about 25 feet up in the air, crowd going crazy and the gronk spikes all over the place and then people start gronk spiking their shots because they were just so impressed. They start throwing beads at you, spiking beads? No, no beads, you know? No beads? That was the disappointment that I got no beads thrown at me.

I think they were probably told not to throw beads out of you. Well, I wanted to, you know, earn the beads. I know you like beads. Order to earn the beads. You got to flex and show. show some muscles and I didn't do that. I'll add a suit on. So I didn't deserve any beads, Jules.

He didn't, you didn't earn the beads. I didn't earn them. All right, guys. So as you could see, we're not both in the house right now. We're taking a little time off. We're exhausted. Rob just had, Rob just had crazy schedule. I got crazy schedule.

And we're going to do, what are we going to do? We're going to rest and recover. and we're going to let our brain recalibrate so we can come back even sharper, more on point for dudes on dudes when we start back up again. And I also want to thank our fans and listeners out there for sticking with us all year long, you know. It was my first podcast ever.

Couldn't have, you know, couldn't have seen it going, you know, any better than the way it went the whole entire year. So I appreciate our whole entire nut house team crew, all the producers, directors that we have, everyone from all over the place in the nut house, thank you guys for everyone that makes the show possible, and especially to our listeners and fans out there. We'll be back stronger than ever. We got it down now.

We're not rookies no more when we come back, Jules. So we better be on point. Yeah, we'll be on point. And we'll tap in with you guys here and there. We just got to, we're still trying to figure out scheduling how we're going to do this show, continue this show, when we're going to do the show, how we're going to do the show, how we're going to do the show. I think I said that like four times.

And then we'll have some content. We got some content. So we'll still keep feeding the beast. We appreciate you guys. We love you guys. And I think we got some voicemail recordings. Should we dip into that? Oh, I love voicemails.

Let's go. Let's dip into it. Let's go. You guys have been blowing up the hotline. And it's been so fun to dive into these calls. We love hearing you guys. And remember, that hotline number is 561-203-5789. Call it.

We love hearing it. Let's go. Julian Gronk is Matt from Stonam. Just wanted to get a quick power rank from you guys, all-time Patriots jerseys between the classic Patriot, the Bloodsau, the Dynasty jerseys, and the current color-rush-style jersey. let me know dudes bye easy uh well let me tell you

I love the color rush jerseys when we were wearing them I think on thursday night football remember that year when everyone had to wear the color rush jersey that was one of my favorite jerseys that we ever wore maybe you like the throwbacks better I'm not sure jules but the color rush it was like a grayish dark blue type of jersey color and that was my favorite by far I still have my jersey that I wore on thursday night football

hung up in my house house because I loved it that much. I like the Pat the Patriot jersey, the one that we wore in 2009. We had the white helmets before they changed the rule where you couldn't have multiple helmets. And we played Tennessee in that uniform. The Titans, I believe we beat them 440 or something. Tom had six touchdowns in the first half.

Waxed them. And it was October 14th and it was like a huge snowstorm. It didn't snow anywhere but in Foxborough. All around New England. No, it was all rain. There was no forecast for snow, and there was hell of snow. And we were wearing those old Pat the Patriot Unis. That was, I like those.

I like the red. I really, I really like those ones too. So let's go with the first jersey is Pat the Patriot. Yeah. You know, that's the classic. And then I'll go with the color rush is number two. And then the Bledso's. The Bledso era was pretty legit.

Those were nice throwbacks, man. Yeah, because it's like super 90sie. Yeah. loud and shit. Those were cool, man. So those are number three. Yeah. And then the dynasty jerseys, that's kind of like the basic ones, like right there behind you.

Yeah. Like that, right there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's four. Yeah, that's number four. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, they are boring, but they were the dynasty. Yeah. But they're just number four. Yeah. All right. Next question. What's going on, guys?

This is Pedro. I'm a Texan from Houston Texans. What I want to know from you guys is, do you guys get frustrated with today's level of talent in the NFL, you know, sitting at home watching the games as a fan now. The level of talent has gone a little bit lower than it has been in a couple years. I don't think the talent's lower. I just think the play is different. Exactly.

I mean, you got guys like Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, just absolutely balling out on the football field like you never seen before. Like, there's a bunch kiddle. The D-Ns are all fucking monsters, Miles Garrett. look at verse from this little new guy verse with the Rams and had a crazy good year. There's deep, I mean, I think the leagues is athletic. Jalen Carter at the defensive tackle position.

The quarterback play. I mean, I think the complexity of offense is different. And the style of play is totally different as well. It's going more collogy. It is. I think it's more ecology. Like West Coast offenses that are throwing the ball all the time. I mean, the talent's there.

It's just, you know, how they incorporate the way that they're going to to play, you know, the, you know, the line, the formations that they're, you know, now lining up in, just how many times you're throwing the ball compared to running the ball. Just a whole entire style of play is different. So it kind of aligns differently with the type of talent that's out there. But then you look at like the teams that are doing it right. But I think this ultimately comes down to like how players aren't being developed in college. So the NFL pro style coaches are having to go to the.

college like scheme because they're not come they're not able to come in you know what I mean like the complete like a lot of these RPO stuff that that there's no complexity that's like that's like really they're hard to defend well with that being said good thing we got chapel bill he's going to develop all the players out there in college at at UNC and then they're going to be NFL ready jewels all right let's see check it out let's see Chapel bill let's see Chapel bill let's see you got can you develop these players So their NFL bill. Let's go.

Chapel Bill. Chapel Bill. At UNC. He's having so much fun out there. North Carolina. He's having so much fun. I see him everywhere. Chapel Bill.

Chapel Bill. Chapel Bill. Hey, someone out there make us a Chapel Bill beat song. Mm-hmm. Like on SoundCloud or something so we can wrap to it or make a song. Chapel Bill. Chapel Bill. Chapel Bill.

Look at me. I took a pill. What kind of? And then I ran the hill. Ran the hills because I had so much juice. I wanted to get loose like a silly goose. Oh yeah. Chapel Bill. Chapel Bill.

The chapel bill. 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? 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. 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. Hey, you guys are awesome. My name's Alex. I'm from Portland, Oregon. Hey, we don't have a NFL team here, obviously. So I didn't know what you guys thought. Do I need to find an alliance somewhere for the Seahawks or the 49ers? Or can I just hop favorite teams every year?

My friends like to make fun of me. So I would love to hear you guys' opinion. Thank you. I think you're in uncharted territory. So you can go either two ways with this. You can either go Seattle or San Francisco because Oregon's touching that NorCal border. So like, you know, I think you got to go that route

or you could just pick any team you want. Yeah, but you got to stick with one. You can't be flip flopping. I mean, but he's in a territory where he can flip flop all over the place and really not get called out for it. So that's a situation. If you can play that right every year, year in and year out, well then, you know, kudos to you for,

for being able to do that. But if you don't have that skills to flip-flop and convince people every year, why you're a fan of that team, well, then you got to just pick one team and then stick with them. And I feel like you really don't have those skills. That's why you're asking us that question,

what team you should pick. So I would go with the Seahawks because... That's like the Northwest. Yeah. Upper Northwest. Pacific Northwest, that's what they call it. I just feel like Oregon...

I feel like it's just... If you could see... Attached to Washington. If you go to your beaches, if you can go to your beach and you're on the West Coast and if you look out to the ocean and you see a killer whale, it has to be Seattle. Yeah, but now, think.

There's hell of killer whales in the Pacific Northwest. But thinking about it, he should be a... I think. Isn't that where Free Willie took place? That's a good point, Jules. Oh, I love Free Willie. I love that movie like 20 times. Jesse. But if he's having a debate, if what, like, what team he should be a,

fan of? What about the BC Lions? British Columbia Lions go Canada on them. Come on, man. And then you can, then you could just pick any NFL team that gets hot. So you say, hey, I'm a BC Lions fan. Exactly. But this, but this year, my fantasy guy, my best fantasy guy, and then you go with the best team.

Mm-hmm. So there you go. Or you could just go out to your ocean if you see Killer Will, you're a Seattle fan. Mm-hmm. He, Gronkin, Jewel. Just wanted to say thank you for your show because you're welcome. You have no idea. how much it has gotten me through.

Hell yeah. Newly divorced. Julian single. And your show really got me through a lot of things. So thank you. And I guess my question to you would be, what's your favorite Asian food? And what countries in Asia would you like to visit?

Oh, I love this question. Favorite Asian food? That's very tough. Is Asian like the same as Chinese food? So Asian is all like, is either Japanese, Chinese, it's the Asian continent. I mean, technically India could be thrown in there, too, because they're technically Asian. So, like, Vietnam, you go to the, you know, South Asia, you get, like, Malaysia, Philippines, are Asians.

I am partially, I grew up in the Bay Area, so I love, I love Chinese food. I love Chinese food, American Chinese food, whatever they want to call it. I love, we love pot cigars and I love Japanese food. I love ramen. I love sushi. I love geosa. But Chinese food, like where I grew up in the bay, we always had, we had flower drum and siung.

Those were like my favorite. I love, I love that. And I love Thai food too because then they throw a little that basil in there. And I like their curry better than I like Indian curry. Like, you know, but even Japanese also has curry. But when I'm in the Japanese, I keep it to the steak or the ramen. or the geosza or sushi i love all type of curries uh no doubt about that same with sushi i was never really a sushi guy growing up i thought it was step curry really weird you know like sushi like

like ew like raw fish i was not a big fan until i got into the NFL and then a couple of my teammates introduced me to sushi and then i fell in love with it my first time i had it and they had to trick me in order to get me to eat the sushi as well and then once i did i'll look who had over heels for it. But if orange chicken counts, does that count as Asian food, Julian? Orange chicken? I mean, it's kind of, it's like an outskirt of Asian food. I think it is, but I don't know. I don't want to sound wrong and say it is, but. But if orange chicken counts as Asian food, I mean, I loved your history lesson on all the, you know, continents and countries. Countries on the continent that, you know, have Asian food. That was really cool here. But if orange chicken counts,

well that mine's orange chicken by far it's one of my favorite dishes out. It's a great dish. Also I'm dying to go to Asia. I have never been to Asia. I want to go to Japan. I want to go to South Korea. I want to go to Seoul. I want to go to

I would love to go to China. There's some crazy fat. I know it's kind of like a there's a little shit going right now, but I think China's fascinating. I want to see the wall. I want to see all like those crazy cities. I want to go to Thailand. And I want to go to all Asia.

I think Hong Kong. That looks like a fucking awesome city. I want to go to a blue zone in Japan. And a blue zone is where the people live like all over 100 years old. And it's like known for a very healthy environment. I just want to pick up their skills and traits and what they do and what type of lifestyle they live and why they live for so long as well. So Japan, a blue zone in Japan would be really cool.

know we should do as well we should we should go somewhere in japan like in the old old area where like they still like trained samurai and it's not like really civilized or something there's probably like some oh you know like the and just like live their way i want to do like what they did in like kickboxer or what was it a was a kickboxer where he went and lived with now i don't know if that was japan but i want to go to japan i want to do that and like study with like the old tree. Kind of like what's the Tom Cruise movie? Last Samurai. I want to

go do that. I won't be last samurai. Mandarin chicken. I love that as well too. I think that's Mandarin chicken. Hey dude. That's good. Question for you. I'm wondering if you would ever do a dudes on dudes alive like

you did with game food names. I think that would be fun. Thanks. Bye. But that's an excellent idea. It would be hilarious. It would be excellent for all our fans to come see us live. So that's one of the best ideas I've heard in a while. We definitely do need the dudes on dudes live. We do with some fans because I feel like that brings the best out of us too. Energy. The energy the fans bring to the table as well. When we did that games with names,

where was that at? What theater again in Boston? The Wilbur theater in Boston. Like, it brought a whole new perspective to podcasting. And it just felt right. It felt real. The The crowd that was there brought the energy, clapping, cheering for us, excited whenever a new player came out. So that's a great idea. We have to go live eventually, Julian. Yeah, we got it. Let's do it. I'm in.

I like that. What's up, guys? Love the podcast. This is Mike from the great state of North Carolina. I got a question for Jules. Jules, you, West, and Danny, combine the best attributes of the three of you to make me a super beast mode, slot receiver, little white guy. You, Danny West, let me know the best attributes of each one that you wish you could combine

together to make a superhuman. Thanks, man. Easy. Danny's hands. This is going to be good. Wes's release and my explosive ball and hands ability. That's a deadly duel or deadly. Like my explosiveness and ball in hands.

That's a deadly player right there. His Dolah had insane hands. Dola had some of the best hands. He did. And he was clutched too in the playoffs. And then Wes's releases. Like, remember his little release game? He had such short little steps where a guy could be a yard off of him.

He could get like four steps in from and make him flip his hips. And he was really good at that. Yeah, you could never play man coverage press against him because he would just get right around the guy and just make him look silly. Wes was so good at the release. The release. His explosiveness just to get around the guy on that release was just phenomenal. And then you add those skill sets. and then how about you put that skill set in my body,

Jules. Just imagine that type of player right there. That's a 99 rating on Madden if you ask me. That'd be, that's 25 touchdowns a year, beating Randy Moss's record. They probably would. So Gromk's body,

my body, with Wes's release, Danny's hands, and what was your skills? My ball skills or my run skills. Oh, your run skills. Your ball skills.

Explosive. Run. While running. Strength, lower strength. And what about your mentality? Mentality. I want that too. My body.

Relentless. Never give up. Always fighting for the extra yard. Someone's coming for my job. All right, next question. Next question. Hi, Ashley from Kansas City. My question is, I am recently single and trying to educate myself.

All these ladies are trying to get to in the voicemails. So many weird. rules and wingo and stuff. So what are some buzzwords or what are some things that I can say while I'm watching a football game to potentially impress a future date? Thanks. Let me know. I'll go first.

When someone scores a touchdown, you see how gronk spike that ball? Exactly. That'll give you tons of bonus points. Or if there's ever a flag, just blame the ref. Mm-hmm. She's like, what the heck's the ref doing? anytime or just say that could have been holding just say that anytime there's a flag

that's holding because there's holding on every single player in the NFL what else when someone makes a catch just scream first down say it looks close just a lot of like that looks close

if it's questionable just yell review the play review the play yeah if anything's ever questionable, just say, man, I wish they can review that play. And if they can, then it'll make you, oh, they can't, and then it'll create a conversation. But if they can't,

then it'll create another, well, you know, like, sweetheart, they can't review penalties. And then it gets you into some more conversation. And then you can judge the person on if he helps you or he doesn't help you. Done. And then if someone kicks the football and it goes through

a yellow post that looks like this, yell, it's good. That's all you need to know. You'll be a genius. 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?

I'm loving on voicemails for life. We have one more, though. The chillest color of the week. Well, let's hear it. Let's hear it. Come on. Bring it on. Yo, what the hell is up, Jules, and gronk?

Can you guys talk about some more crazy shit that, like, went on in the dressing room and stuff? sick of hearing about boring ass NFL stats we all know about you know what I'm saying boys all right and can grunk fucking chucking a beer or something thanks boys geez oh man this got to be a boss and guy just bringing the juice right he sounded Canadian to me sound a little Canadian a yeah yeah yeah well it could be a hockey guy in Massachusetts okay we need a do you need a beer yeah I can chuck on a beer no doubt about that but he's sick of hearing about our boring ass NFL stats. We don't even really talk stats, boy. We just talk about,

you know, the skill sets of players and what they bring to the table. We're just sick of your ass. How about we're sick of your, your voicemail, buddy, but I understand. I'm still going to respond. No, I think he was, he was giving us kudos, Rob. Oh, he was giving us kudos. He was given us kudos. He was given us kudos that everyone else talks about stats, but we give fun stories. And what the real stuff going on in the locker room is. Oh, see, sometimes I get confused. It's chill. Thank you. chill. Thank you for clarifying. I like this guy now.

He likes our show because it's not about the NFL stats. It's about what the player brings to the table. I like this guy a lot. Sorry about the confusion, man. And for that, I'll pound this beer for you. I'll take a nice sip. Brought to you by Coors Light.

It's nice and chill. It'll go down smooth. But also, I got to answer his question as well. He wants to hear shit like what went on in the dressing room and stuff. I mean, like, like,

what kind of shit do you want to hear that? that went on in the dressing room. Like putting the NFL jersey on is the hardest fucking thing to ever put on in the whole entire world. And sometimes that's tougher to put the freaking jersey on than actually play the game. So hard. Yeah.

You have to have like three guys. I'm pulling it on you. I'm telling you, since I've been tackled like 20 times, like in my career, like by my jersey. Like so then the equipment managers and equipment staffs like, all right, we got to tighten up that jersey because Grand got tackled by the jersey. So then the jersey gets tighter and tighter and smaller and smaller. telling you. It takes like three people to put that jersey on. It's the biggest pain in the ass.

You get, uh, you get cuts as well from the shoulder pads because it's tightening the shoulder pads up. And then you get cuts on your body. You get bruised as well putting the jersey on. It's the hardest thing to do in all the football is put that damn game day jersey on. You can't even put this jersey on without pads like put it in perspective. And then you put on some shoulder pads and they expect us to freaking put a jersey on. But that, yeah, that's, that's, that's just like, another thing that people don't know. NFL jerseys, you see them, they're all tight, they're all tapered to the bodies.

They're fucking hell to put on. Yeah. And even harder to pull off. Like, I remember I get choked out every time they pull it off because I have to have a guy pull it from behind and there's like a three second like, I'm not breathing. I got to trust that he's going to pull it off.

Mm-hmm. Like thing going and it's like every time. It's pretty hard. It is. It's really hard. It's hard. It's hard. It's hard.

Like a dude. on wedding night. I got you there. You didn't know where I was going. And that was the chillest dude of the week. Thanks to our favorite beer, Coors Light. Get Coors delivered straight to your house, your door.
