Welcome to Games with Names. I'm Julian Edelman, and we got a brand new compilation highlight reel starting now. Now, Stavros describes what life is like on a comedy tour bus. Now, traveling on the road, you're on tour right now. Is there like, I saw your big green bus. You take that everywhere? Pretty much.

I mean, this is the first bus tour. This is the first year I'm rolling Madden style. Cool. full yeah it fucking rules dude i just i'm trying to every tour would just ruin me dude because it's so you have access to the best stuff yeah it's just like you could just get like and i did i was just getting really fucked up i was just like eating you know the just so you just eat whatever the fuck you want though it's just such a like it's such a like heathen heedinistic lifestyle if you want that and if that's your thing and that is my thing i mean i like fucking having a good ass time and it would

just fuck me up so bad. And this is before the bus. This was when we were like flying places and you'd be fucking hung over and just taking whatever just to kind of get through the day. And, and, and so I decided like this tour, every, like, I gained like 30 pounds on every tour and it's just been creeping up. And I'm like, you know, not a young man anymore. And it's just like, I had to get the bus. We got a little fridge stock with Costco meats in there. I'm in the pre-slice Costco. That's go. Like London broil or whatever the fuck. Surloin with. little, some fucking canned, canned beans. We're living like real divorce dad style in that fucking bus right now.

But the macros are pretty good, you know. And if I get, if I get two to three good meals and then if we have, you know, if we have like, you know, a couple of slutty meals a week, that's not the end of the world. No. Now, do you sleep on this bus? Sleep on the bus. You fucking, at night, you just, it's like time travel. You just, like, we were in Phoenix last night and I woke up in Burbank.

this morning Is it comfy bed? Dude, it rules. You're so... Like, it's the feeling of being a little-ass kid and your parents putting you in a car seat and you're just for a ride until you go to sleep.

Like, it's incredible. I didn't think I would like it and then I did Bert Kreischer had a tour a couple years ago and I did like a weekend on it and I slept incredible. Like, I sleep better there than I did on like we got this gorgeous Airbnb in L.A. last time I was here.

Way worse than the fuck. Like, we were missing the bunks. It was fucking hilarious. Yeah, and then, like, now, nowadays, everything's on the internet. You could just watch TV on your iPad, or you got TVs. You got two TVs going? It's nice. It's fun.

It's better to travel. I love taking it when I would go from Boston and New York. I love taking the train. The Amtrak's the best. Amtrak's easy. Yes, I love you. And you got Wi-Fi. You can knock out.

It's the same amount of time, damn near it because it takes you hour to get to the airport, hour back in the city to our flight. And it's shit. No one's fucking hassling you. You can smuggle things through the train. You know what I mean? That's easy. Yeah.

Now, what's into these slutty meals? What's a slutty meal? What's our slut? I mean, yesterday, what do we do? Where'd you go? I mean, just like a nice, fucked up breakfast burrito. Like, when you add so much shit,

a $13 entree ends up being $29. So that's just in general, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. But we're talking meats, guac, quacks in the burrito, all that kind of shit. Fry in a burrito guy? Yeah, we had a, yeah, for sure. For a breakfast burrito?

That's a California burrito. Yeah. I take my cap to... Are you chorizo or are you bacon? depends on the mood I'm in. You know, I opted for steak plus chorizo yesterday. That's what I'm saying. I got fucking insane.

I did a $30, $30 breakfast breeder with every dipping sauce available. I'm a big dipper too. You got to dip. Big dipper. You got to sauce things up. It could take things to the next level. Always. Some people think it's trashy.

I just think it's... Fuck that, dude. It's trashy to use dips to fucking live a little? I like putting A1 sauce on like my white rice. Okay. Like that's how I like A1 sauce I see where they're coming from

A1 sauce is dog shit A1 sauce is like when people are like well I'm not going to use ketchup I'm not an animal let's get A1 You know what I mean It's trash trying to be classy No offense No I know it is

A1 you got to let go of Any other dip I'm with you I hate to immediately Stab you in the back Are you ranch guys Like whenever I eat I have a big ranch guy Whenever I'm trashy too

So maybe I'm a hypocrite here Whenever I eat Greek food I always bring in Ranch God damn I like to dip my euro in ranch ranch with Greek food Zaziki have you read Zadziki

I think we have our fucking version of ranch Tachini and Tziki I think it's a bad ranch No What the fuck are you talking about We don't even Tini's not even us That's more of the Middle East We're you know

Right in the middle right on the other side But no you gotta go Zadziki You can't do ranch What are you dipping in ranch I just eat or a hot sauce I like to put hot sauce like a different hot sauce I like my Euro in there Or I like when I have a kebab

Or yeah Like I like You gotta get Zatzzyki You might just be going to a place With bad Zadjiki There's some great shit out here Now where what kind of ranch Because this is important too

There's a ranch here in L.A I don't I forgot what it's called But it's like a mom and pop ranch Okay you might be winning me about Comes in like a mayonnaise looking thing Oh yeah Good Yeah it goes bad after a week

That's how you know it's a real sauce All right Then maybe there's some This ranch is killer And they got a great blue cheese That I always have to get for a rod because he loves blue cheese. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I get that. All right, I'm willing to, I'm going to have to try this ranch before I come in with the ultimate, like, deciding whether that's trashy or not. I use that ranch with everything. Okay. I like ranch.

That is good. Yeah, pizza on ranch, fine. Yeah. I don't, I don't, I can't give a fuck about that. But we have every, so Middle Eastern food, whether it's like any kebab style cuisine, has their own garlic sauce.

I know, but you just have to tap into the right one. I like those garlic sauces. like the garlic sauce that they always give you. It's just a little too much garlicy. See, that's, so that's more of the like pure middle. That's why I'm saying Zadziki, you just haven't given Zadziki a chance. I gotta get to Zaziki.

Like good Zadziki. The way I do it, it's just full fat Greek yogurt, good olive oil. You fucking plain, you hit the garlic in a zester. So it's fucking tiniest, it really gets in there. And then just salt and pepper. I don't even fuck with cucumbers because cucumbers don't hold as well. This is just a very nice, garlicky, slightly healthier than ranch also. You can make it, you can make it healthy, too.

Yeah. I know you kind of need to lose a couple pounds, so I just go want to give you a couple tips. Dude, I'm an eater, though. I love food. But anyway, that's my, we tapped into sauces. This is when you know, at this, at every podcast, whenever some kind of food item comes up, I will go off for 12 minutes uninterrupt. Now, Stavrosalkia is on his hatred for the New England Patriots.

In one sentence, why did you pick this game? In one sense, I guess just because it feels good to be able to rub in a humiliating loss to a guy who was on the... I think you were probably hurt. I was hurt. Because you weren't, you know, I just checked back. I didn't remember you, but from that game, you didn't really remember a lot of Patriots players because you guys fucking shit the bed in a hilarious manner. But you didn't even...

We talked about a couple games, but you weren't even playing. The other game we talked about, you had a good game. I didn't even want you to have that satisfaction. I would rather stop Tom Brady. I said in one sentence. Oh, sorry, it's a run. These are a lot of semichol. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's separate clauses, but they're connected. One tweet. So, yeah, just there's a lot of ideas. And it's Flacco's run. It's right after the Mile High Miracle. It's right before the Super Bowl. It's just like a beautiful, it's a forgotten game in that run because it wasn't as memorable as a Super Bowl

or the Mile High Miracle, but just because, Fuck the Patriots, man. We had to do a game where you guys fucking sucked. Is this the greatest game of all time? It's not, but it's a really, it's a really satisfying game, you know? It's a really satisfying game. Because, again, you don't get to tell to a player's face how shitty his team was,

and it was your team being the one to do it. And I do hate the page. It's tough because I do have, you are the most likable, I think, from the, like, from what's Gron's pretty likable. Gronk's likable, but yeah, so's a fucking golden retriever. You know what I mean? You give fucking Gronk a little treat. He'll fucking, he'll be good to go, dude.

You give him a little bus ball in your hand? He'll come up to you. He's easy to win over. I have a feeling. But, you know. So anyway, you're the one person I have some fondness for because, you know, just role player to, I like to think of my kind of entertainment career is that. Neither one of us had any business being successful in what we did.

And so I respect you for that. But still, not the greatest game. Just really just have to get on record how much I despise the teams you were on and just want to celebrate a victory over them. You know what? I think that's the highest sign of respect from a fan is when they hate your team because of how successful you are. So like, I don't get mad at that.

Yeah, yeah. Because I remember being a 49ers fan and I absolutely hated the fucking Green Bay Packers. They used to knock us out every year in that divisional round or that fucking first round playoff. I hated it. So I understand. Where did your start, like your sports fandom come from?

Yeah, I mean, I grew up in Baltimore. So this is, and I mean, I'm a fan of Baltimore teams before the Ravens existed, so that's, you know. So what's the rank? I mean, now the rate,

in terms of like, true fandom. True fandom. Where it's like just tribal, you kind of turn your brain off. You're not even like, because if we were being serious, it's like this is a waste of all our time. Like our Sunday,

We lose one day a week just on a couch doing shit. And like, we should stop. Like, when there's by weeks, I have, I go to the park. You know what I mean? I might go to a fucking museum. Like, I'm a better person when football's not on. But, you know, I, like, you just have to watch. You can't help it.

You can't have to watch it. And so on that level, definitely the Ravens. I mean, I remember it's cool to be a little kid when the team is coming. Like, I had that experience. And I was a fan of football. How old were you? I must have been like we won the Super when I was in sixth grade

So I was pretty young I don't remember it was like And I remember going to I went to like a punt pass and kick When the fucking Vinnie Testa Verdi And Matt Stover there Like I was like I was the demographic To get won over by this team And like you know the shitty

The shitty weird like Logo that we had that was that was bad I remember them thinking about calling us The Baltimore Americans or like the Baltimore Brown Like we got saved Ravens is the best You know name we could have gotten And so it's like, that's how it started. And in terms of like overall, I mean, I like the O's because, just because I, but I don't really, baseball's kind of.

It's tough. The guys are talented, but I just want to fuck it. It's there to drink a beer and eat a hot dog. But it's changed. Like, the new rules of baseball is awesome for TV because it keeps it going. But like, like you said, when you go to a baseball game, you want to drink a beer and eat a hot dog and you pray for the longest game possible because you're in like third, seventh grade and your mom's there. and if you get them too late, maybe you get the next day off.

Like, now they have no chance of getting past three and a half hours. But, yeah, Orioles, I used to love the Giants. Sure, yeah. Cow Ripkin Jr. He's the man. I mean, that's the other thing.

That's why the O's still have some fondness, because, like, before the Ravens, I had those Cal teams. And, like, they were fucking, it was so weird to go from the Orioles being awesome that they were just dog shit until my senior year of high school,

that was the year they were like, they led the AL East out of nowhere, and then we fucking collapsed. And so that was the last time that I, like, believed in the Orioles. And then it happened, you know, we almost, we lost to KC when they went on to win the World Series.

So I'll always have some fondness for them. But in terms of the day-to-day, it's also just easier. Like, football's, I've learned football is so smart in how they kind of schedule things because just what we were saying earlier, one day a week, even when you're busy,

you can commit to one day a week. And you can watch fucking Thursday night football on your phone if you need to whatever. But, like, actually my favorite sport is probably basketball, but it's once I started getting busy, it's kind of hard to follow. It's impossible to follow these big sports. That's why I love football, like you said, schedule-wise. Yeah. And there's no first pitch. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've heard about your first pitch. Sam hit me up and said, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not bad. It wasn't, it wasn't videographed well, but you can't really tell, but it was fucking heat right down the middle. It was heat? Yeah, right down the middle, dude. I think they must have slowed down the video they published. Because in the moment, I remember the fucking girl that was catching being like,

ah, you know, that fucking, you know, she had to go see the team doctor afterwards. They had her fingers in splints. I was right down the middle. I would say probably 98, 97, 97. Yeah, yeah, so I'm like that. You ice her up after? Yeah, I was like, my bad, I'm sorry. Yeah, I remember I threw when I threw, actually.

When I threw this touchdown pass? Remember the double pass? I do remember. And that, that was the ball. I do unfortunately remember that. So, like you. you throwing that 98-mile-hour fastball. Yeah, this is dangerous to give to me.

Aldous, where's the incinerator? Don't put in this, Mubbs. I'm just showing you. No, but right after I came into the team meeting on Monday, we're all having fun, we're watching the thing, and I was like the last one to walk in the office. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I taped up my arm because always the quarterbacks after a big day,

tape up for our arm. I threw one pass. I came in like, yeah. All right, guys, everyone started laughing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that was fucking horrible. Who's a big basketball guy? You had a podcast with my boy, Sam Morrow.

He's the man. Who's a bigger ball guy? You or Sam. Because you guys are both Knicks fans. Yeah, well, see, that's the thing. Sam, kind of the love I have for the Ravens. It's like, for Sam, he has channeled that into the Knicks. Because it's like, I love the Knicks.

So my fandom is a little complicated where I didn't have a team growing up for basketball, and I could never root for the Wizards because DC and Baltimore is just a different thing You know what I mean? It's sort of like Bay Area stuff Where it's like Oakland, San Fran Exactly. Everyone has their own Even even like

Yeah, Sacramento, Oakland All those places are pretty close But it's totally different fandoms Where it's like DC and Baltimore are such different cities Oh yeah That was a great I'm a pro dude

You are. You're fucking good I just do this in my side I'm not even awake right now I'm obviously I know because I've been cutting you up I've been cutting you all. Sorry. No, no, no.

No, no. So I could never root for them. So I always, my fan would go to, like, the cooler teams. Like, I would really connect to certain teams. I was a big king, those kings, the Vladi Devotch. I love those kings. Everyone did. I was a shitty Warriors fan at that time.

For sure. But you guys were so bad back then. So bad. Spreewell was choking out the coach. Yeah. Which is cool. It was kind of cool. I had his jersey because of it.

But the kings were hot that time. They were fucking cool. We were revving and baby. and they were so fucking good. Yeah, Jason Williams before they traded a baby. But I, and so I always gravitated to some cool team would, like, win my affection for a few years. But then once Janus came into the league,

I am such a huge Janus fan. I mean, it's like to have a Greek basketball player be one of the best players in the world. And at times in the last few years, the best player in the world. And even with what Yoko is doing, I just think, like, Yonis, even making that team halfway decent,

and it's insane how fucking good he is. And so he's probably my favorite athlete right now. And in terms of basketball rankings, he's my guy. I always like to keep up with him. But Sam Meryl has been like a Knicks fan for fucking ever. Next, Stavrozakis breaks down his Mount Rushmore of Baltimore athletes.

Behind every night spent making the kids' lunches, there's a lot of suspense. Will they finally eat the veggies? Will the pastos survive the first bite? Will the lunchbox come home empty, half full, or come home at all? And will you finish episode 8 before you're done slicing the cucumbers?

Oh, I mean. Or from Baltimore. Cowan from Baltimore. We could do a cultural. do a cultural we could do a culture and we could do a athlete i mean if we're talking athletes obviously cow's got to be on there it really comes down to uh i think cal's got to be on there ray lewis and ed reid and then i mean what do what's telling you in your head right now i just i see it it's just hard i my answer don't say it are you going to say it i don't i don't think i

can is there something about them there is something about them there is something about him, right? I'm not going to say there's not something about him. It's a split. I know that's a fucking completely, uh, complete cowards way out, but it is, it's the quarterback slot. And it's for, it's, it's a split right now, Lamar and Flacco, but Lamar is so fucking, like, obviously my, this is a joke character. And I love Flaggow and he is, you know, he's the fucking man. Super Bowl MVP. It's insane. One of my favorite athletes. But Lamar is just like, you know, I just think he does get shit on a little too much. And obviously there's people who love him.

I'm not going to say he just has detractors. But he's so fucking good. He's so electric. I think it's got to be Lamar, man. All right. What were your thoughts on the resurgence of Joe Flacco in Cleveland last year or two years ago? Yeah, I mean, it's hard for me not to root for,

like, at the end of the day, I was not scared of that team. And it's like, part of me, I mean, wait, did he, sorry, I've been out, did he actually stym with the Steelers or is that a rumor? No, no. No, I don't know. No. No. I saw a rumor that he might Anyway, so thank God. That would have been brutal. That would have been fucking brutal. What is it about Joe Flacco?

I mean, this run, honestly, that's also another reason I picked this game is that like, I think what is it is that like, yeah, he had a legendary run. And I think he's fucking really good. And to be able to do this, you have to be one of the best, like, it's crazy. The amount of people that go on a, who have their best football during the, during a Super Bowl run, is it's the best thing of all time. But I think, I think there's something about him.

He feels relatable. He's a mid-Atlantic guy. He's like, he seems like a guy you might have grown up with. It's, you know, from kind of, I think he's like from the Philly Burbs. He went to Delaware.

Yeah. He went to fucking Delaware. He played in Baltimore. It's like he's got that, I know, even though he's not from Baltimore, he feels like a guy from Baltimore. It was never complicated.

The motherfucker just threw a beautiful, deep ball. And he was fast. than what people... Yeah. He was... I remember Bill always talking about Flanco.

Like, don't let this motherfucker out the pocket. Now, I'm just telling you, when he gets going, he's hard to bring down. He's a big fucking guy. He's a big guy. He's huge. And I think there was just something awesome about him where it was like, you just...

Again, he... I also think there's a relatability in some ways, even though, again, world-class quarterback, you shouldn't relate to him. You have nothing... The average fucking idiot on his couch has nothing in common with Joe Flacco. But at the end of the day, it's like,

maybe. He is from Delaware. Like, he, he is a guy from around where we're from. And he, nobody really believed in him at any point. This, he put his money. And I think, for me anyway,

and for other people, I think you could watch that and get inspired and be like, I just need to fucking get it together when it fucking matters. And like, I could be a fucking legend forever. And Joe had, we had great years and I loved rooting for him.

But I think it was like, the combination of getting you a super, Super Bowl and just like how relatable and how much like, like, people will ask him now in interviews like, oh, do you? And they'll kind of try and get him to like talk about how good the Ravens are. But he's still like, I'm playing motherfucker. I'm still in the league. If I want the Ravens and I like that attitude. Yeah. He's not, he doesn't see it as like this like retirement tour. He sees it like, I still got, I'm doing this. Fucking sign me. And I fucking love that, dude. Even though he might, here's the other thing. He might be wrong. Right. Yeah. But you need that

a belief if no one's if you have to believe yourself more than anyone else to be successful with these hard things and he was like for for like him yonis like sports guys can absolutely inspire you in your life for that and i take a lot of that from flaco and and you know obviously yonis for how hard yonis is like work ethic turning it coming from nothing to being one of the best and it's just sort of that that kind of underdog story and the fact that it ends with a super bowl and not just Super Bowl at a Super Bowl that has Ray Lewis retires

and Reed got one with us because, you know, Reed is my favorite Raven even though Ray obviously is a legend but there's just he was just so fucking cool and he was just so

so incredibly good and it was just such a special like that kind of Super Bowl keeps you going. Now did I want us to win this year? Absolutely. I love Lamar. He's gaining on

Reed for me because he's just incredible to watch and he's so fucking good. And I would have loved, there was like the numerology every 12 years, the quarterback's 28 years old. I thought for sure we were winning because of that dumb bullshit. And then it would have been, if we had gotten that one,

I literally wouldn't have needed another Superbook for the rest of my life. You know what I mean? Three at really pivotal points in my life would have been great. But we'll get him this year. So Ed Reed, we'll jump into this Baltimore team. Yes. Good segues, Ed Reed. I remember Ed Reed's last year, he lit me up in Baltimore.

Yeah. Do you remember that? I don't know if you remember that. We ended up losing. It was 2000. It was this year. It was the game that I played in. Ed Reed came and he lit me up on a post.

Damn. And he just was so swaggy about it. Like, got up. Like, he was just a competitor. So cool. Bill used to literally show like a 40 play cut up of Edry every time we played him. And we're like, Bill, we saw this six weeks ago. He's like, he just show another cut up like,

Ed Reed this fuck. He loves it. That's the one that's the one Venn diagram for me and Bill Belichick is our admiration for Ed Reed is how much we respect him. Because I've seen him talk about that and that is fucking cool, yeah. And he'll show those where it's like how smart he was to like he was playing mind games with Peyton Manning.

It's insane. And not only that, but he'll return kicks. He'll lateral like those. He'll block kicks. Yeah, he's up and under. We used to show all our special teams his up and under move on blocking kicks because he was that legendary.

So Ed Reed's one of your favorite guys from this team. For sure. Ray Lewis, you love him. Joe Flacko. Ray Lewis and Ogden. See, Ogden gets forgotten in the like Ray Lu... Because Ray Lewis obviously... Ogden was really good.

You know, but like, it doesn't happen without Ogden. They draft those guys the same year. That was our, you know, and like that's... Those are the cornerstones of our franchise. And he's in many ways, I feel like Ogden is what the perfect left tackle became. You know, it's like that he got... after a long fucking time ago. Now, it was just like he was so good.

It's insane. He was kind of like Tim Duncan where it's like, it's kind of boring. It gets forgotten. But I don't think those teams, I don't think we win that first Super Bowl with, without him for sure. And it's like he does get a little, I want to give him his credit because he, to me, it's him. I think of him and Ray Lewis as are the initial stars that got us off the ground together. And I feel like he gets forgotten too much. Offensive linemen that's going to happen.

It happens. And also his personality is just like a kind of a quiet, chill guy. He's not, you know, that he's not doing the sick dances that everybody sees. Lyman are in their own world. For sure. And you kind of have to be. You're getting. But they're the reason.

Yeah. I mean, it's the trenches. I mean, you listen to all the guys. It starts in the trenches. It's true. On Raiders of the Lost podcast, we explore cinema like no one else, including huge interviews with stars like Ryan Gosling on Project Hail Mary. It was like the Jaws Shark.
