And today we're previewing the Patriots versus Jets Thursday night football extravagance on Amazon. and our guy, Robbie G, is signing a one-day contract

to retire a Patriot and we get to go over that. Robbie G. Congratulations on the one-day contract. I just watched from the West Coast, your little speech and Mr. Kraft, RKK, talk about you. And you just come off, you come off awesome. And that's how you were as a teammate.

You did unbelievable. I was going down. memory lane just listening to you talk and the selflessness that you have how you talked about the fans how you talked about teammates how you talked about the perspective you've learned since you've grown up and how you needed what we went through it just comes off out as awesome you're the gronk and you're a fucking superhero and i feel like i'm i feel lucky to get to to talk with the gronk thank you jules i appreciate that man it's an honor just hearing those words from you. And it's been a heck of a day. I started off on the Kay Adams show, talked about,

you know, retiring as a patriot, what this means to me. I had many great memories I got to share on that show. And then I went right from the Kay Adams show, hung up the Zoom call, and I went right over to Gillette Stadium. And boom, went up to RKK's office, had a great conversation with him. I actually got to meet Coach Vrable for the very first time in my career. Well, I met him one other time but it was literally for five seconds so it didn't really count and man shaking that guy's hand and bringing it in like you know when you dab up someone you bring it in like just to feel just to feel coach rable just how strong he is and how powerful he is is special and and that probably projects you know as a head coach for him that he ain't messing around to his players and i

see why he has so much success because when you're that jacked and that strong still players are going to be scared of you and they're going to listen to you that's for sure But it was just such a special day. It really, really was, you know. It's just an honor to just go back into the Patriots building and just to see so many media members that I've seen before that are still there, that are still writers, you know, for the Patriots, writers for the magazines and the newspapers around here. And just to have RKK there, Jimbo, the head trainer was there. I mean, how many stories do we have with Jimbo? man. It was just very, very special. Camille was in the house. And speaking about Camille,

we were talking to our KK right after. And he's the one who brought us together. I mean, without the Patriots organization, without the cheerleaders, without me getting picked to be a patriot, I would have never met Camille either. I mean, there's just so many memories that are getting brought back up and just so many awesome memories. You know, it's bringing a tear to my eye every once in a while but it's just so awesome to relive these memories you know just going back there and being able to talk about them as well man well you handled it awesomely and it's fun for everyone like these little ceremonies and and these little things of all of our past teammates and you know the tom brady day the this day the that day they're just you pick up on a new memory

every time that it's awesome you really do pick up on a new memory you know And what's wild is like you can be at the bar, you can be at a restaurant and someone would ask you for like your best patriot memory, you know, your best football memory. And like at that moment, like it doesn't really pop up to your mind. But like coming back to Gillette Stadium, man, I was firing off memories left and right. Like everything was just coming back to me. And that's what makes this day so special is that it brings it out in you once again. I was like, okay, I'm signing a one-day contract, but then once I started doing it, once I got in the office, signed the contract with RKK, right there on the spot too, which I never did. That was the first time I've ever really sat down and took a picture signing a contract, which is kind of cool.

You always see pictures of it, so I finally got to do that. It's a new thing. Everyone takes picture of the contract. It wasn't like that back in the day. Go ahead. What's really cool about this is this is a full circle moment, you know, Jules. First off, my career started here. I got drafted here to the New England Patriots.

It needed to end here. The whole grand persona, my whole career, my whole football, you know, resume persona is basically based here in New England. This is where it all started. So this is where it all needed to end. But we wouldn't have had this day if it wasn't for Susan Hurley. And Susan Hurley just passed away. Rest in peace, Susan. And she just passed away a couple weeks ago, about two weeks ago, on November 1st.

And she's the reason why there is the Grunk Playground. She's the reason why I actually had the one-day contract today because RKK and I were planning on doing the one-day contract when I was going into the Patriots Hall of Fame in the future. So with Susan Hurley bringing it up that it would mean a lot to her to see me sign a one-day deal and retire as a Patriot, you know, RKK and I looked at each other on the opening day of the Grunk Playground and we said, that's a great. idea. You know, we should make a day out of that instead of waiting until the Patriots Hall of Fame. And then we came to this date, you know, prime time game, Thursday night versus Jets. So it couldn't have been a more full circle moment. And for Susan Hurley, rest in peace, she's looking down. She's with us. She was a Patriots cheerleader way back in the day. She's going to be here with us. She was here with us today and she'll be at the game as well tomorrow,

looking down on us. So it couldn't have been any better. And for what our KK did, setting this up for me, And the energy is great, and the game atmosphere is going to be even better. Are you doing the lighthouse? So, Jules, I will be doing the lighthouse. Well, first, I was talking to Stacey. I was like, Stacy, bro, we can't go too big. Like, you know, I got to go into Patriots Hall of Fame one day. That's when we, you know, send the fireworks and, you know, and let off the bazookas

and the rocket launchers. But like, we got to do at least something, a little, little something. So we decided to do the press conference that I just finished up with. And then I'm going to ring the bell. You know, I'll be the keeper of the light. I'll be ringing the bell in the lighthouse before the game, which looks kind of cool. I saw Mark Wahlberg do it. You did it, Jules, correct?

How was it? Can you explain to me? Can you give me some tips? It's cool. You know what? I think it's going to be even cooler at night. The night game tonight, it'll be cool. And it was also a little too warm for me up there.

I wanted to feel the fridge. I want the frigidness of Foxborough, you know, and at night, Like, that's why you have the lighthouse. It's for nighttime. So this is going to resignate even more because that ain't a fucking ship coming. That ain't a ship coming. Know what that is? That's a fucking Patriots.

That's a Patriots coming from fucking $4.95 taking the goddamn one right up into Foxborough. And that's what the new lighthouse does. I think it's going to resonate way better at night. So I'm really excited for you to do it. Thank you. You know, the daytime in September, September, they lose to the, the Steeler. We don't, I don't like September shit. We all know football don't start until fucking Thanksgiving.

And this is close to Thanksgiving. Also, I will be giving a little speech at halftime. I wouldn't say a speech. I would just say I'm going to, I'm going to address the crowd pretty quickly at half time. And then I'm going to save the speech, George. You gave a great speech at your Patriot Hall of. fame but that's when you know you can get really into details and thank everyone but i'm just going to address them real quick and i'm going to hit them hard though i'm going to hit them real hard

and then i'm going to introduce the band that's playing and it's a country band that i actually am friends with and bed friends with for a while low cash so that's going to be pretty special but jules i got to ask you something i am going to address the crowd like i just said what shall i say like i need i need to give like a freaking a one hitter that just gets everyone going like what do you think should be my opening line tomorrow night i'm sure whatever you come up with it'll be perfect all you got to do is whatever you say all you got to do is spike something at the end and it's going to fucking blow the place up place is going to erupt we just got to spike something something you know and you come up with some gronk saying you'll be good there we go i like that

that you're engraving that in my mind i got to spike something because kay brought that up on her show today too she goes like you got to end with like a spike or something and that wasn't even engraved in my mind so now you're saying it kay said it so i got to spike something at half time no doubt about yeah you know maybe that's my opening line i just grabbed i mean we are going to madrid this weekend we're going to madrid this weekend oh la that's hey joel that's how i should start it off oh yo soy fiesta and then the whole place erupts and i start dancing them party and then I address them a little bit and I introduce low cash. Hey, that might be the play.

In spirit of the halftime show going on at the Super Bowl, I mean, we got to get people used to Spanish. And what better way to do it than have old Robbie G, the big gronks, speak Spanish. And now you're thinking. Now you're thinking, Jules. And I keep it easy. I keep it basic. So that's how you want to first learn.

You can't go too in depth trying to learn. no you got to learn the swear words the food words and and and then and then a couple verbs and we're good okay and then you put those together and then we all enjoy the halftime show because gronk's going to teach us spanish at half time yes i love it oh that's why i asked you that question jules i knew you would have some good answers for me that's actually my that's actually my little secret is like i don't really come up with a lot of my stunts you know i do yeah you do i do actually but like beforehand like For an example, like walking out with the country singer that I walked out with this year again. Morgan Wallin.

Yeah, Morgan Wallen. I just went blank a little bit. It's been a long day. I went through the car washup at Patriot Place. My bad. Morgan Wallen. I'll never forget that again. But I was talking to my friends before I did the little walkout.

And he's like, yo, this is what you got to wear. We found that jersey, the guitar. He's like, you got to spike the guitar. And like half of it was kind of already pre-planned. And then the other half was just a freelance and just came up with it right on the spot as well. So got to always go in. That's what we learn from Coach Belichick. That's what we learned from the Patriots is you got to go in with a game plan.

But you also got to learn how to adjust. You just got to be prepared. And I swear I'll be caring with me for the rest of my life what I learned throughout my career here in New England. All the way from the top, you know, from Mr. Kraft, giving back to the community. all the way to the coaching staff and then all the way to my teammates as well. So that's why I feel like I'm so prepared and I was so prepared for the next life after football was because I had such great people around me the whole entire time. And you just pick up, you know, tricks and traits from everyone and you imply that into your life as well.

All right. That's that that's that's that's that's gronk right there, baby. Like you. Relentless, dude. You never gave up, brother. And you wanted it more than anyone. And I think about that all the time. if I want something, well, what did Jules do? Like, he wasn't a top pick. He didn't have every opportunity in the book, but what did he do?

He was relentless. He never stopped. He never gave up. He made sure that he was seen because you only get seen when you perform. So you made sure you were seen so you would go out there and perform and bring more juice to the table than anyone else, whoever was in front of you. So I think about you for doing that. And boom, I imply that into my life then. So Jules, thank you for what I learned from you as well.

well thank you for you being you because you taught me how to have some kind of fun because I'm a miserable fuck in the locker room sometimes before we move on to Thursday night football preview Jets Pats last thing about Patriot Day last thing about this last thing about the contract Robbie G I'm going to do my Tom Rinaldi what does it mean to you to retire a page treat it well mr ronaldi ederman it means a lot to me it actually means everything to me and this day is becoming more special as the day goes on and it's meaning more and more to me of just how beloved i feel you know all the love i'm getting not just from fans but from the whole entire organization from my ex-teamates from our kk and his family man and it just makes total sense to just retire a

Patriot. My career started here. It needed to end here. The whole Grunk persona, you know, became so big here in New England. The fans, you know, just let me be myself, for real. Without the fans, none of this would have been possible, Jules, because I was literally, you saw me from the beginning. Like, it wasn't like I was doing things out of my persona to become likable, you know? I was just doing things because that's like what I was doing. And it just grew and and fans loved it. And I didn't even really notice sometimes the fans were loving it so much. Like I always wanted the spike of football.

Boom. They took it to a whole other level. The gronk spikes a thing. No one could spike a football as hard as gronk. I'm like, I just wanted to spike of football, you know, but the fans took it to a whole another level. And that's why I appreciate them. And that's why I always want to give love back to them as well.

And also, Boston will always be a home forever. The New England area will always be a home forever. And that's why when I first retired as a paycheck, I wanted to give back to the city of Boston. And that's why there's the grunk playground. Yes, it took five, six years to finally, you know, have it, you know, open. But it was a moment and it was, there was a reason behind it as well, why it took so long. And everything came together this year.

And we wouldn't be here without giving, I really wouldn't be here. Put it this way. This is when you know giving back always comes back as well. You get rewards too because that playground is, is the exemplifies the reason. why I had the one-day contract today, because I already told that story, with Susan saying that, well, guess what, giving back to the community, building a $1.8 million playground through the Grunt Nation Foundation, you know, laid the groundwork for today and gave me the platform for today and the special moments to, you know, retire as a patriot. So that just shows when you give back,

the reward always comes back as well. It's perfectly, perfectly said, Roberto. Thank you, Joel. I appreciate all the questions, man, and I wouldn't be here without you either. I mean, we all wouldn't be here. I mean, it's not just you. It's not just, you know, Coach Belichick. It's not just Tom. It's not Nikovic. Hoyer was there as well. I told the story about Hoyer. He's the one who started my career because I was basically a second teamer coming. I mean, I was a first teamer as well with LG Crumpler, but like I had to play with the second team. But Tom kind of got to trust in me because he saw Hoyer throw that seen to me in the second preseason game of the year versus Atlanta.

And I masts a guy, jumped up and caught it and scored a touchdown. And then Tom was jealous of Hoyer throwing me that touchdown fast. So Tom threw me to the next week, you know, versus St. Louis Rams when I dragged Lauren Nitis's WWE ass, who is the WWE champion of the world, drag his ass in the end zone. I'm a rookie and I'm freaking the Stone Coast stunner and the rock bottom. people's elbow at the same time and drag them into the end zone for five yards with the Mohawk on for my rookie haircut baby.

See, look at all these memories. I couldn't think of all these memories if I was just chilling. It's because of the one-day contract. The one-day contracts, man. We'll be right back after this quick break. In the heat of battle, your squad relies on you. Don't let them down.

The Big Take podcast from Bloomberg News dives deep into one big global business story every weekday.

A shutdown means we don't get the data, but it also means, for President Trump, that there's no chance of bad news on the labor market. What does a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich reveal about the economy? Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsize indicators of inflation. What's behind Elon Musk's trillion dollar payout? There's a sort of concerted effort to message that Musk is coming back. He's putting politics aside.

He's left the White House. And what can the PCE tell you that the CPI can't? CPI tries to measure out-of-pocket costs that consumers are paying for things, whereas the PCE index that the Fed targets is a little bit broader of a measure. Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's not only about what we can do to improve our health. But also what our health says about us and the way we're living. Like our episode where we look at diabetes. In the United States, I mean, 50% of Americans are pre-diabetic. How preventable is type 2?

Extremely. Or our in-depth analysis of how incredible, incredible mangoes are. Oh, it's hard to explain to the rest of the world that, like, your mangoes are fine because mangoes are incredible, but, like, you don't even know. You don't know. You don't know. It's going to be a fun ride.

So tune in. Listen to Health Stuff on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Robert Smith. This is Jacob Goldstein.

people, horrible ideas and destructive companies in the history of business. Having a genius idea without a need for it is nothing. It's like not having it at all. It's a very simple, elegant lesson. Make something people want. First episode, how Southwest Airlines use cheap seats and free whiskey to fight its way into the airline business. The most Texas story ever. There's a lot of mavericks in that story. We're going to have mavericks on the show. We're going to have plenty of robber barons.

So many robber barons. And you know what? They're not all bad. And we'll talk about some of the classic great moments of famous business geniuses, along with some of the darker moments that often get overlooked. Like Thomas Edison and the electric chair. Listen to business history on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

What do you get when you mix 1950s Hollywood? a Cuban musician with a dream and one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time. You get Desi Arness, a trailblazer, a businessman, a husband, and maybe most importantly, the first Latino to break prime time wide open. I'm Wilmer Valderrama, and yes, I grew up watching him, probably just like you and millions of others. But for me, I saw myself in his story. From plening canary cages to this night here in New York, it's a long ways.

On the podcast starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama, I'll take you in a journey to Desi's life, the moments it has overlapped with mine, how he redefined American television, and what that man for all of us watching from the sidelines, waiting for a face like hours on screen. This is the story of how one man's spotlight lit the path for so many others and how we carry his legacy today. Listen to starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama. That's part of the MyCultura podcast network available on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Well, let's jump into this preview. Let's do it. Let's do it.

Let's jump into New England Jets Thursday night showdown on Amazon. And they're debut in their new, their new unis. What are they called? The nor Easter's. And they sent me a little box. This is actually, this is a clean hat. It's really clean. I really love the colors.

It's kind of like the color rush jerseys in a similar way, but different colors. and I hope it kind of snows tomorrow, at least drizzles because those jerseys are meant for the snow. They would look fire in the snow. What a metaphor. They would look fire in the snow. It's really cold up here. It was breezing with some drizzles yesterday and it's about 30 degrees and windy. So if there are some clouds in the sky, you will definitely see some snow, especially at nighttime tomorrow night for this game.

But I'm excited for it, man. I'm really excited for it. We're going versus Jets. We got to take care of business. get those bad boys i'm getting a care package tomorrow this thing's pretty cool but i don't the last time they wore a different uni didn't they lose what was it was it did what would they wear they wore some kind of dealers was it the oh it was the red patriot throwback jerseys which are super dope super dope but jules that was beginning of the year that needed to happen like

you got to go through those bumps and bruises in order to become the team that you need to be it couldn't be all smooth sounding for coach rabel's first year ain't no doubt about that guess what they went through it early and they made those mistakes and they corrected them and that's why they're on the path that they're on now and they're eight and two so one in ten what are the unies from one to ten give it a rate rate ten being fucking insane i mean to me they're they're pretty freaking insane i'm going to give them 8.7 right now. You know, that just makes sense. But I really think they are right, right around that number on the scale of rating a uniform. But there'll be a 10 out of 10 if it snows tomorrow night. They're going. And they win. And it goes to a 10. You got to give

them, you got to give them room for improvement. I tell you right now, those unies with the red stickies as a pop color, if I have my solid reds with those, it would look kind of far. I'm going to go 8.11. Oh, Joel's getting creative. We both got our jersey numbers. What are you talking about? I just think the integrity. I don't think it's an 8.12, so I went to 8.11.

Let's get into this game. Is this a trap game? You know, a lot of people are saying that this week, actually. But everyone said that about Cleveland, too. Oh, that's a trap game. I don't think it's a trap game. Why? Because the Patriots know how to prepare.

And you've seen that on a daily basis. Now, I would say, if they're, They weren't beating the crap out of terrible teams. Like they blew out the Carolina Panthers. And they blew out the, who did they play the next week? It was it the, Cleveland. Oh, they basically blew out Tennessee as well. They're taking care of the bad teams and they're playing at their level and not jumping down a level when I play in those teams.

And when you can play at that high level and prove it, you know, throughout the year that you're not playing down a level when you're playing, you know, teams that aren't so. great. Well, and guess what? There's no trap games. So I believe that they're going to go out there and dominate the Jets for that reason because they know how to prepare and how to play at a high level constantly and consistently. What do you think? What do you think, Jules? I think they're in a good pocket right now of progression. And like you said, you can tell that this team's having good practices. You could tell this team's enjoying improving. You can tell that they're working on the things that they didn't do well the week before and they're getting better at it.

I've really loved seeing Trayvion Henderson jump out and have big game last week. Why not have your best game going into the final eight weeks? Like that's when you want to have your best game. They look fast.

They look really fast and they're so young that I don't think this is a trap game either because they're in that pocket. They're too young to really, you know, I think they're, I think they're really good at the quarterback position mentally. Drake, like, wants to learn. Drake understands the, where he is. Drake understands he's following the greatest quarterback of all time. And he, like, I heard you say, he knows how to answer questions. And when you interviewed him, it was apparent. You know, he, he, he reads the room and he understands his role that everything.

comes down to him and how he practices and how he leads and he's shown weekend and week out that he's getting better as a leader and and he's he's the guy I think you know and it's been fun to watch he's he's surpassed what I thought he would be in the first year with Josh McDaniels but he's doing it so I think because they have that leader on offense that is a humble kid that's the young grunt of a bunch of brothers that is skilled and I think all that happens and helps them

going forward and how they prepare so I think they're going to beat the breaks off the Jets tonight. Yes and what else I see about this Patriot teams right now? Beat the breaks off of them. They need to. Yes they need to. It's Thursday night football in Foxborough the Gronkster will be there

ringing the lighthouse bell halftime performance. of me hyping up the crowd saying, yo, so if he asks or teaching people Spanish, so everyone understands it when Bad Bunny performs the halftime show. Like, this is what's up,

but what else I love about the Patriots? They needed explosive plays. That's what people were saying, not enough explosiveness. Well, guess what? Three last week, 350-yard explosive plays for the New England Patriots last week.

Currently before that, they had one explosive play all the week dating back to 2,024 over 50 plus yards. Well, why does this factor in? Because it was also three of them last week versus Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And all three were by both of their rookies. You know, Traybion and Henderson's for over two of them for over 50 plus.

And then what is it? Is it Kyler Williams or Kyle Williams? Kyle. Yes, it's Kyle. Well, keep making explosive plays. And I'll remember that your name's Kyle, not Kyler. But he's starting to break through now as well. And these are only rookies.

So to have two rookies to have over three explosive plays between them over 50 yards is going to give them that confidence where now they're going to feel like a vet more, you know, walking around and that they can do it and that the coach is trusted in you. And once a coach trusts in you, boom, you explode even more. And then your offense becomes even more potent. And now Drake May even has more weapons and more trust in these guys as they grow. and this is why they're not falling for the trap because they're confident right now and they're high flying power offense. Yeah, and I think Braves understands and knows how to deliver the communication to this team about that.

And then, you know, we talk about explosion plays on offense. Their defense only gave up one explosive play last week over 20 yards. Their defense is number one in defending the run. Their defense has been very good. Christian Gonzalez back there. I mean, that's how they're going to be really, really good. That's how they're going to be. I mean, the defense.

And then now you got explosion on the offense. They got some good special teams going. Have they been making their field goals? They've been making their field goals. I think they've been making their field goals. But like their defense hasn't given up anyone, go, what, 53 yards? No one's rushed for over 53, 55 yards on them all year. That's crazy.

And they played, Bijon Robinson, who's electric. Like, that's how you establish your tough. That's how you establish yourself as a tough football team. You got to stop the run. You got to run the ball. You got to be able to run the ball. They had 117 yards last week.

They were able to run the ball. We saw the explosion plays. We saw the explosion plays through Trayvion Henderson. They ran the ball. And you got to be able to cover kicks. And, you know, they're doing pretty well in special teams. I don't have any stats. And I haven't, like, dived into it.

but we haven't heard any problems either so that's a big thing like they got a lot of good stuff going they just got to continue to show us that they can continue to do it you know that's that's the next step that's the these are the steps you know we talk about the steps we can't tell you what they're going to do but when they do that you we just show them pats are 92% on field goals shout out to our our stat special team guy what's his what who is who Andy or Gales Borgalis Orga Orgalis

Let's go You know you have to have a good kicker Well he's going to understand He's going to understand me at halftime I feel like he's Mexican He's going to know what Orla yo so fiesta means Baragares

Is he Latino Rookie out of Miami We'll take him Yeah he knows Spanish And also the Patriots Like Dowdle too They stop Dowdle

Who's been running out of everyone They stopped Junkins. They've stopped some running backs. They got Breece Hall. And the only thing the Jets have right now is a run game. That's kind of decent because of Breeze Hall. Like they're passing for like an average of, I think, like literally 90 yards. Like it's pretty embarrassing what the Jets have been doing on the often side of ball through the past game.

So they got a little run game, but the Patriots stop everyone's run game. So the Juts, I don't think they're going to score more than 10 points on Thursday night football. So this is an easy game. You know, I'm confident in it. I'm very confident. The Patriots, though, and I'm sure Braves are going to be up there but all week about it. You got to rush Justin Fields the right way.

Can't get past the quarterback, make him throw the ball, keep them in the pocket. Don't give those gaping lanes for him to take off and become a problem with his legs. Like, you know what I mean? That's the only thing that can make it go is if Brees Hall has a day, Justin Fields starts running all over the place to get a couple big explosion plays. through the history of what we've been watching with this team, that shouldn't happen. So this should be a blowout.

Let's not play down to the level. Okay, last week was good for the Jets. They got two wins in a row off the trades, off the fire sale, the team. But like that momentum dies the next week. And it should die against the Patriots tonight. If it dies, it dies. It dies. He must die.

But speaking of this third, Thursday night football game. You know, we got Jets versus Patriots. What was it like to you playing on Thursday night, Jules? Like, what was your, you know, style of preparation on such a short week? I remember playing the Jets a lot early on Thursday night football, early in the year. You know, the Thursday night games, they were a bitch to get ready for, especially if you have them later in the season, you're kind of beat up.

We'd always have ours early in the season. but they're a bitch because you don't get the same preparation, practice time. Everything's kind of walked through. It's kind of, they were a bitch, but they were also kind of cool. Like you liked that you didn't have to practice that week,

but you didn't like that you didn't get to practice that week for confidence, but your body felt better, but then you got a baby by after it. And I just remember it was always a little more vanilla of a game plan because it's, you know, both teams don't have the full week of prep. You're racing against the clock on recovery with players. So, you know, both, I always remember the plan always being kind of vanilla,

meaning we weren't going to, we were going to run the things that we ran well throughout that part of the season. And we were going to lean on that. We were going to do whatever it took to just get the win because it's a hard game, you know. So I just, I remember that. But I always remember being kind of happy afterwards. because we got like a little we got a little time off it was like a little baby bye what about you

it was a love hate relationship with thursday because it was a grind it was it was a grind and what i really hated about it is like like you wanted that day off Tuesday's the official day off throughout all of NFL and having that day off gets you prepared for for the week you feel refreshed Wednesday comes you're ready to go you're ready to you know you know game playing this new team well guess what when you wake up Monday morning boom you go into the office and that game's already over you don't even watch film of the game on Sunday it's already Wednesday and there's no day off so you don't feel refreshed or anything so that's the really really tough part I believe you know is not being able to have a day to just clean your mind and get

prepared for the next week but what was so great about it though as well is it felt like a mini buy week when the game was over also you didn't have a full week of preparation of practicing at full speed. So you kind of got away with no practice that week, which is always good sometimes because your body gets to heal. If you have a team that has the mental capacity to do that. Yes. So it's kind of like you just rehabbing, you're jogging through routes. You're just flushing your body out from the Sunday game, you know, and going through the walkthrough. So you're just ready to go for Thursday night. So you can go full speed that. But what you love about it is that mini biweek. You got Friday off. You got Saturday off. You got Sunday off. And then you go in on Monday,

you know you do a little something and you start practice up again on Tuesday so that mini bye week no they would give us the Tuesday off yeah you would practice Monday actually yeah wouldn't practice but like you go do like your film study your lift run and meeting then they give you Tuesday off and then you do your regular Wednesday Wednesday I just I wasn't it kind of like that yes it was actually and that that little mini buy week felt great you loved it so much so it's kind of a give and take and I think it's fair because we got got John Gruden, who just spoke about Thursday night games, and he says he wants to lead to get rid of Thursday night football. And to what he exactly said, quote unquote, was no preparation,

no time to recover, no chance, get rid of these Thursday night games, dump them. It's not fair to the players. It's not fair to the coaches. And I agree what Coach Gruden in that way, but I also disagree in ways, too, because like we said, we, you love hate it. you know you get the little extra time off after the game uh but it's also fair everyone only has one thursday night game every team has to do it you know every team prepares the same it's even with the preparation everyone has the same amount of time still and if you're prepared throughout training camp you get your team ready that's what training camp is for is preparing your team for the whole entire season, no matter what is presented to the table, if it's a short week, if it's a long

week, if it's a buy week, if you have a great training camp, and you install everything you need to install, these guys shall be ready for Thursday night still, even with a shorter week of preparation. 1,000%. You know, they ain't getting rid of it. No, it's so great. Thursday night football. Dude.

No shot. When you can just chill and turn it on TV. Now that I'm out, if they didn't have Thursday night football, like, what the fuck? We got to wait until Sunday, Monday to Sunday. Sunday and maybe, you know, we get Black Friday and a Wednesday Christmas game? No. Okay. You put it on Thursday. It's been here for freaking ever now. If you were to get rid of it, A, the bottom line would get hit. We would make less money because that's a, that's a package. So then the salary cap will go down. So then the teams would get a little, you know what I mean? That ain't never getting rid of

them. Okay. they ain't never getting rid of them it sucked it hurts and what they're gonna do is they're gonna make us go playing in europe every year now now every team everyone plays a thursday night game and now everyone goes to europe and they play a europe game and it's gonna suck for the first five years just like the fucking thursday night games did we all like the old timers they hated it this sucks we can't but everyone got used to it everyone got used to it everyone got everyone started loving it even though we get sometimes shitty matchups on Thursday

it's part of lifestyle now it's part of the lifestyle Thursday night football is part of American lifestyle exactly Jules you hit it spot on getting rid of it it's making the game bigger we're selling to Amazon I mean we got so many packages it's not even fair no they if they if they get less money the players get less money if we want to stop getting rid of the

Thursday night football game I tell you right now seeing these non-quarterbacks make 50 million dollars 40 million we wouldn't have those contracts we wouldn't have those contracts so I mean yeah it sucks and it's hard but it's hard for everyone like gronk said it's fair everyone's got to deal with it this football I remember with our coaching staff they'd say hey where do you want us to play what time you want us to play wherever it is we'll fucking be there we'll be there and we'll be ready the big boy teams know that let's move on exactly let's move on Let's go, Jules.

Why did the Patriots and Jets hate each other so much? I wouldn't say it has to do with anything in the last decade. I'm going to go back to the era of RKK at the beginning owning the Patriots. I'm going to go back to the era of Coach Belichick, you know, having time spent with the New York Jets. And then the way it went down, how he became the head coach for like an hour and then switched over his allegiance to the New England Patriots. become to become the head coach here. And also, I believe it has to deal with Bill Parcells. I believe it has to do with Parcells as well.

You know, so there's a little camaraderie there between the Patriots and Jets that go way back in like since like 2000. And that's when that rivalry was really heated up all the time, you know, because of those reasons and the what went down and all those situations. But the last like five, six years, man, I don't even think it's a rivalry anymore. Jets have just been so bad. The Patriots have been, you know, just average the last couple years, and now they should just dominate the jets.

So I believe in the era of 2000 to 2012, that's when it was really particularly, like, kind of more of a hatred. Well, I think any time you got Boston, New York, it's going to be, there's going to be beef. Two similar people that like completely different things. They're going to hate each other. So we were born into that. Like we're more recency bias with it because that's our generation.

But I'm sure, you know, Jets back in the day, Patriots back in the day, they've hated each other. And that just goes, I think, the New York, New York, Boston relationship in all sports. That, like, that's circled. And we play each other in the division twice a year. So there's always something. I don't think it's as big. Rex Ryan was also fun when he was a coach with those feuds.

Oh, no, he fueled it up, man. He gaslighted every single week that when we were playing the Jets. Like, he brought the fun to, he brought the fun to that rivalry back in the day with him being the head coach. He did. I kind of like would laugh at it on the low. Like, I know I'm not supposed to be laughing at this because I'm a patriot, but, man, Coach Ryan's kind of funny. Yeah, I can't argue with you on that, Jules. He seemed like a fun coach.

I did love him, you know, in his pressers and being in the division. He brought some juice to the table. And then what about Welker, you know, what about Welker's, uh, the foot soldiers? The foot soldiers. Like, no one got it. No one got it at first. Dude, no one got it. Like Welker was a genius for that play.

That was so creative. He destroyed that press conference and that he walked away with not one person understanding what went down. And then once they caught on, so good. You know, it's going to be a bunch of foot, foot soldiers. out there you know we got to have good feet he kept on referencing feet because that's when rex Ryan had the foot obsession thing that came out so good and like west west was a funny little fucker he was man so good bill benched him for the first drive I got to start in the playoff game

because of it he should have never been benched he he actually did get bets for that reason and he should have never been betts for that reason like that was that was so creative and it was Rex Ryan he was talking about. Like, Rex Ryan would love that joke. Like, come on. Rex, I guarantee Rex was laughing his balls off. Exactly. Like, it was so good.

It was so good. Those were the times. All right, let's get a prediction on this. What's the gronkestormis think? The gronkestormis, Jules, I love it. I love it. What is it? What is it?

No, new name for the grondas. Cronksterdamis. All right. I got a prediction for this game. Everything that we said. I love it. Everything that we said, you know, about the Patriots, I think it's true. I don't think this game is going to get out of control at all.

I think the Patriots are going to win this game. 31, 31 to 10. Yeah, 31.10, that's, you know, it's a Thursday night game. It's still a tough game. It's still a division game. I don't think they're going to, I think it's going to be like a 27, 27 to 10 not as close as what it seemed try to get out of their healthy now hey they go out and lose this game with us picking them beating them that's bad all right you're going 27 10 I think

it's going to it's not always easy to score on Thursday night games you know sometimes they're kind of muddy the weather I don't know what the weather is it's still the jets they're going have some some they're going to have some juice like they would love to come and and rain on our parade Aaron Glenn was part of those jets that were good teams he played on some good jets teams so like I don't think it's going to I think it'll be like 27 10 it'll be a close for a second and then the Patriots are roll off because they're just they're a better team right now yeah close first half and then after the second half once I get on the microphone and juice up the crowd they're going to hear me in the locker room and then they're coming and come out with

so much juice and then blow out the jets in the third quarter and fourth and then if some reason if that doesn't happen and they win six to nine i know that would be a true tribute to me being there jules never gets old it never gets old i had to the 69 jokes started here in new england so it's like i said it's been a full circle moment you say it so much i had to get a 69 joke what was your favorite 69 media moment oh what i had to 69 touchdowns. It was in Pittsburgh and Mike Reese was like,

hey, you know how many touchdowns you scored now in your career? And I was like, yeah, 69 Michael Reese. Yeah. And it was just legendary how it went down and how I set it right there on the spot. So I scored my 69 touchdown in Pittsburgh and Mike Reese loved it. Oh, my God. And he highlighted

it as well. And shout out to Mike Reese. I got to see him. He was there at the press conference. There was so many people there. Tom Curran, Mike Reese. We had Karen. We had Karen. there as well. I mean, so many people that were there, you know, covering the Patriots when we were there, Jules, they were still there. And it was a packed house, man. It was really cool. So what a special moment today. It really was. And it made me on fire. When I got up there on the podium, man, like some juices just kick in for me, man. I'm like a gamer. Like,

it's wild. Like, I can have a shitty week of practice, but when the lights are on, you know, I can just ball out in game.

It's not only about what we can do to improve our health. But also what our health says about us and the way we're living. Like our episode where we look at diabetes. In the United States, I mean, 50% of America, Americans are pre-diabetic.

How preventable is type 2? Extremely. Or our in-depth analysis of how incredible mangoes are. Oh, it's hard to explain to the rest of the world that you, like, your mangoes are fine because mangoes are incredible, but like, you don't even know. You don't know. You don't know. It's going to be a fun ride.

So tune in. Listen to Health Stuff on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. The forces shaping the world's economies and financial markets can be hard to spot. Even though they are such a powerful player in finance, you wouldn't really know that you are interacting with them. And even harder to understand. Donald Trump's trade war, 2.0, is only accelerating the process of de-dollarization, which in a way is jargon for people turning away from the dollar. That is where the big take from Bloomberg podcast comes in to connect the dots.

Unusual is a deal like this. Unprecedented. Every weekday afternoon, we dive deep into one big global business story. The biggest story of the reaction of the oil market to the conflict in the Middle East is one of what has not happened. Katie, you told me that ETFs are your favorite thing. They are. Explain that. Why is that the case?

And unpack what it means for you. Our breakfast foods are consistent consumer staples, and so they sort of become outsized indicators of inflation. Listen to the big take from Bloomberg News every weekday afternoon on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Robert Smith, and this is Jacob Goldstein, and we used to host a show called Planet Money. And now we're back making this new podcast called Business History about the best ideas and people and businesses in history. And some of the worst people, horrible ideas, and destructive companies in the history of business. Having a genius idea without a need for it is nothing. It's like not having it at all.

It's a very simple, elegant lesson. Make something people want. First episode, how Southwest Airlines use cheap seats and free whiskey to fight its way into the airline business. The most Texas story ever. There's a lot of mavericks in that story. We're going to have mavericks on the show. We're going to have plenty of robber barons. So many robber barons.

And you know what? They're not all bad. And we'll talk about some of the classic great moments of famous business genius. along with some of the darker moments that often get overlooked. Like Thomas Edison and the Electives Chess. Listen to business history on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. What do you get when you mix 1950s Hollywood, a Cuban musician with a dream, and one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time? You get Desi Arness, a trailblazer, a businessman, a husband, and maybe most importantly, the first Latino to break prime time wide open.

Valdarama, and yes, I grew up watching him, probably just like you and millions of others. But for me, I saw myself in his story. From plening canary cages to this night here in New York, it's a long ways. On the podcast starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderama, I'll take you in a journey to Desi's life. The moments it has overlapped with mine, how he redefined American television, and what that meant for all of us watching from the sidelines, waiting for a face like hours on screen. This is the story of how one-man spotlight lit the path for so many others and how we carry his legacy today. Listen to starring Desi Arnaz and Wilmer Valderrama.

That's part of the My Cultura podcast network available on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Oh. Sticky fingers. He's sticky. Got good hands. Could be a heck of a tight end or slot receiver. What is your favorite snack, Connor? Probably goldfish. Oh.

Who doesn't love goldfish? Those are my favorite, too, I think. That's a throwback right there. I actually had goldfish for my first time in about two years last week in my hotel room. So, Connor, that was a good choice because I was eating them like, wow, I've been missing out eating goldfish, you know, for so long. So great answer, Connor. Great answer. Nice throwback.

And keep those calls coming in. Let's hit the chill line. This is my favorite.

Let's hear your questions. We got answers. Bronch, Edel Rex, Eric from Detroit. I saw that Tom Brady cloned his dog. I wanted to ask you guys, if Tom Brady could clone his 11-man offense in terms of the best players from his full career at each position who do you guys think it would be at each position thanks a lot dudes all right that is a great question i'm going to start it off i'm going to be the tight end you're going to be the slot receiver julian and then fullback

is going to be james devlin correct did he have any fullbacks prior to that no it's got to be james devlin he's got to be james yeah james devlin for sure most relevant and he played with tom for a while offensive line at guard we're 100% going to have logan makins we're 100% going to have mat light and at the wide receiver position at number one is going to be randy moss and then who's our center you got that one jules center we need center and another guard and another tackle d a we'll throw d a in there david andrews give a little there we go there's a bunch of centers wind up 100% no let's go yeah wendell but let's go with david andrews he just recently David Andrews, let's throw in.

Great career. You got throwing Steve Neal from the old teams. Yes. That's a right guard. Because he was fucking pro wrestler. He's in there. One more tackle. Seabas or Soldier?

Yeah, it would be Soldier or Seabas. We'll go with, we'll go with Sebastian just because we love to dance. I mean, we still have Russ and all the boys from the old teams. Look, it's going to be biased to ours team. We need a running back. We need it running back. Ooh.

Because we got a full back. We got two wide receivers. and we need just a running back now. We got our whole offense line. Corey Dylan. Yeah, that's a good one because we got to go a throwback. What about third down running back? Oh, but he said 11, 11 man offense.

All right, right. That's 12 then. But I mean, we have two positions at the running back position throughout the whole time of the Patriots. It would be sweet feet. Sweet feet or chamverine? For third sweet feet or Shamirang. Oh, Marshall Falk.

Kevin Falk. Okay. Okay, let's just take what you. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Let's go with Kevin Falk. I mean, there's so many guys, but first off, have you met this clone dog yet?

No, I did not. I met the dog, like the non-clone dog. I know. I remember the old one. Yeah. I mean, it was a cool dog. It just relaxed. Like, didn't do anything.

Loua? Crazy. Wasn't it Loua? Yeah. Yeah. I haven't met it either. I'm a little scared. I got so many questions.

questions so many questions like like i got at least 20 questions and i use does it have the same personality no that's one thing i hear that it doesn't is the personality doesn't stay the same but the look stay the same so where do the personality come from i that's what i'm wondering where do where's the bones come from where's the brain cells come from where does a brain matter where does a intention come from where does his his his freaking hot dog and ball sack come from like how how is it all formed jules a lot of questions a lot of questions that we do they grow it in another dog or do they grow it into like uh what do they call that when you're not when the women do it now where they don't have the baby they surrogate do we have surrogate does it have

half the genes of the dog they're putting it in or does it have all the jeans so is this straight Jurassic Park and from my science Jurassic Tom Jurassic bark. My scientific knowledge and smartness is that they take or make the embryo in a lab and then implant it into a surrogate dog is from my understanding of scientific knowledge of how this clone happens. So what do you need for the DNA, like a piece of hair? Skin off the ear or the buttocks. Not 100% sure. we have a lot of questions we want answers someone out there please give us answer

email us or call the hotline and give us answers god forbid we call tom and ask him he won't even answer our call no he'd be like what are you guys to call it he'll be like oh you signed a one day contract julian you're in the patriots hall of fame cool i got a statue bitches Yo, Edelman, I play for Woodside High School. We just win 10-0 first time since 2004. You should pull up, bro. We're like that. Woodside Wildcats, my high school, 10-0?

Are they in, what division are we? What division are we? That's awesome. Congrats to the boys. Are you trying not to give them the credit of for going 10-0 and you're saying they're in a weak division by asking what division they're in? We were in division too. they could be in higher division than us

they could even be better I don't the high school California systems changed drastically since I left like we didn't even have state we didn't have state championships when I was a kid they put them in like six years after

I left for college and so that is that's awesome because I knew we were we were hurting for a while let's see 10 and O playing Maddieo see we're playing San Mateo that's where Tom's from 5 and O in

peninsula go down is this our other opponents let's see their win Westmont we played them in the championship Mountain Views got a call Castro Valley Cappuccino Santa Clara they're smoking these teams Hillsdale 310

Half Moon Bay they were always tough They always had the rancher boys They always had like the country fed kids Sequoia that's an in city rival 42 14 beat the break Aragon used to be really good That's in San Mateo too They beat him.

We got, what do we got a running back or something? Who we got? We're playing, we're playing against the San Mateo. Huh? See, I think that could be what we were. Let's go.

That's cool. How's your, you played at in Pittsburgh high school. That was some good high school football, right? It was great high school football. It's very underrated. Jules, first off, congratulations to your high school team going 10 and 0.

You definitely need to go back there. You forget. got to answer that question. Well, it wasn't a question. It was a statement. He was telling you, you should pull up. So, Jules, go back home, man. Go back home and pull up to the high school.

Give these two some props. It's probably this weekend. Well, if you can't get, make it back for this game or the upcoming championship or whatever it is, you know, you got to at least go give them props. So whenever you go back home, whenever it is, if it's next year or just get back there by end of the school year. So you can give them props because that's huge, man. They go 10 and a note clearly.

Clearly they look up to you as well. At least give them a video shout out. something on your story, Jules. Come on. We got to beat the brakes off, Maddieo. Beat the breaks off Maddieo. That's Tom's school? He's from San Mateo. That's the public school in San Mateo.

Tom went to Sarah. Which is what, a private school? Yeah, a private school. They had like Barry Bonds, Lynn Swan went there. There's a bunch of baseball players that went there. They had some studs. Yeah, that is pretty studly. But I did go to Pittsburgh, my senior.

year. Let me tell you, Pittsburgh football, Western Pennsylvania football is up there, man. It's underrated, you know, throughout the country. Everyone thinks it's Florida, Texas, California for the best high school football. But Western Pennsylvania, I'm telling you, same with Ohio. It has some great football, has great talent, has great quality of guys. At one point, you know, in my second or third year in the NFL, we had 11 guys from my high school, you know, in the NFL at one time. It was the most out of high school. And Woody High right now is 8 and 3. So shout out to Woody High going 8 and 3. And I actually just donated in May a $400,000 wait room to them. It's brand new. It's state of the eyes.

Well, I donated 200,000 of it through the Greg Nation Youth Foundation. And then the Pittsburgh Steel Company. I forgot this heck name. The steel company that is right around the corner in Pittsburgh, they donated the other 200,000. which was nice. So it was a $400,000 weight room. We got to put in that high school. And they're eight and three. So that weight room's paying off.

But shout out to our high school teams, bro. That's legit. Let's do one more and we got to close this one out. Shout out. So let's get to another question, Jules. Give a shout out to your high school. You know, they want it. They're waiting for you.

Let's go, boys. Big game. And big players make big plays in big games. So what kind of players are you going to be? what kind of players are you going to be we haven't had this kind of success we haven't had this kind of success in a long time i think we had a good team a year a few but this could be your year to make your history this is an exciting time enjoy these playoffs give everything you have there's no tomorrow it's either today or it's no day let's go let's go let's go and joel's just talking

about them as well they deserve it obviously that school looks up to you man you're probably the most well-known athlete to ever walk through those doors so just talking about them that's huge shout out to your high school 10 of no wood said hi let's go hey jules and gronk a dude is really about hyping one another up and i think as dudes we would really be doing a disservice not to take a moment to blaze matt colill and sing his praises i mean what kind of dude is he is he he He's a stud. I mean, he blocked for Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Bradford, Nate Holes for AP. He's a whiz.

I mean, you know, just like I said, creating gaps for AP to run through in his prime. He's a freak. I mean, in more ways than one. I don't think we need to just say much more there. The dog, it's another one that's self-explanatory. Probably a dude's dude in the locker room. But, I mean, let's say what he is. Come on.

Three, two, one. Hog. Dude's a hog. Thanks, boys. I heard about this guy. Matt Coleel, absolute legend. Two co-cans. What does two Coke cans even mean?

Like, here we go. We got, this is a, this is a Coke can. This core is like, is basically the same thing as a Coke can. What is he? You put two of these together and he's that long and that wide and thick as well. That's dangerous, Julia. That is very dangerous. And now I see why there was a.

divorce for that reason and that reason only. That makes a lot of sense, but you've got to tip your hat to Matt Kulio for having such a thing, you know, down there. Like, incredible, incredible. You dream of that. Like, people always say to me, like, yo, if I had your six pack, I would never wear a shirt. Well, if I had that Coke can, I would never wear pants. He's a freak.

Not a hog. He's a freak. He's a freaky hog. Matt Khalil. Is he still in the league? No, no. Guy retired a long time ago. He was playing when we were playing.

Pretty solid center. Majority of his career was in Carolina. He was a center? So you think the quarterback felt that thing? Oh, I feel bad for Teddy Bridgewater. That's probably why he retired and went in coach high school for a little bit. Probably.

I got to go meat cheese. What a way to end it. Go from Make a Wish. to two Coke cans. And that was the chillest dude of the week. Thanks to our favorite beer, Coors Light. Get Coors Light delivered straight to your door. Visit Coorslight.com slash dudes and always celebrate responsibly.
