Plus, we find out what kind of dude, kid, rid, is in this week's chillis, dude. of the week presented by Coors Light. Let's go. Dudes on dudes is a production of I Heart Radio. My dog got the bullet wound right there in the neck. How you wait until we get going on this one, buddy? Huh? I said, you wait until we get going on this one.

My dog's over here fresh off of I.R., man. Here, surgery. Here. Oh, dude, I'm all over the place, too. Here, both feet. that one's easy though man you're gonna come right back and you're on day one and look at you you have one of your best shows i've ever seen you do you broke down the patriots training camp last show like no other i just kept asking questions it was great it's the jewel show he was killing

it oh he was killing it i mean i wasn't there so i couldn't break down anything jules was there and you pay attention though when you're there i i try to you're kind of like more of a coach i was why i i want to see i'm i'm comparing and contrasting to like you it's so crazy I think back on our training camps when we were at our peak. Bro, we were like a high old, we were an oiled machine. There was rarely balls in the ground. A bad day was if we didn't go 85% in, you know, with, in the past game. Like it was so clean, like everything was clean.

We were fucking pros, bro. That's true. You know, and I go to these camps and I try to see, you know, the good teams. Like I went and saw Kansas City before the Super Bowl. They look clean. They look sharp. They were all, everyone was using their time effectively. Organized.

Organized, man. Then I've gone to some camps where you're like, you know, this is, all right. It's like, it's like, crap shoot. It's like high school, the first day of high school camp. Everyone's all over the place. And then I've been to camps, though, where like you go and you're like, man, they look shitty. And then they go out and they're hell of good. So I don't know.

It's crazy. It's, I mean, I really think it's just the standard that was set where we were. we were. Yeah. You know, I just remember us starting periods over because Tom was pissed that it was too many balls in the round, two or three early in the period. You know, and he was like, man, start this shit over. We were really starting over, but that was our standard. You know what I mean? Like, we really had the athletes there, the pieces were there. You know, we knew what we were capable of, and like, we weren't accepting mediocre shit. And having a standard like that makes you a consistent ball team. So you can say that, Jules, like you said, you saw a team not have such a great camp,

but they were all over the place, but then they would go out and ball, but then the following week, they would be all over to place again. When you have a standard and you set the standard high and it's there every single day, well the consistency is there every single day as well. And if it does dip, it will always come back up as well the following days. And if it goes too high,

it'll come back down, you know, because you can't always be at the high high. It can't peak all the time. But it will always be there to, you know, at the base level of where it needs to be when you have a true, true standard in the organization. 1,000% if you guys don't know, by now we have Stephen Ridley here in that house on dudes on dudes and we're just talking about camp

it's camp season right now and everyone's you know as athletes I feel do you feel I feel it does your body like tell you right now even though you've been retired for whatever how many years that like man should I should be fucking running right now because it's camp season like we've been doing this since we were eight years old yeah do you have those feelings I do I mean I can't lie I was talking to my mom about this couple of days go flying back home, just being out in Cali for a while, I'm getting soft. But I go back to Louisiana, flying in New Orleans, and you step off that plane, man. And when you step off the plane, it's like the heater's blowing, the fan's blowing the heat. There's a fire behind the fan,

and it's just like, it's thick, bro. And then I think back to the dedication of how locked in we had to be for this time of year. I was going home and I'm running hills on the Mississippi River in 100 degree heat, 100 degree humidity. And it's thick. And you got to be crazy. You got to be committed. You got to be a dog. You got to want it. But that's what made us different because we really had to get out there and get it in these

kind of conditions. But it is a time of year that you know. It's like, man, I got to be gearing up ready to go because everybody's grinding right now. And we want to get out the blocks and be ahead. So that was the Patriot way. That's how we were cut back in the day, if you want me to talk about us a little bit. We are joined here by Stephen Ridley. Let me give him a little introduction.

He's a national champion at the university of not the university. but at Louisiana State University, L.S.U. Tigers. He's a Super Bowl champ. Come on. He kills ducks and sinks putts. He's our good friend, Stephen Ridley, great friend on the field since the very beginning when he became a rookie all the way till now.

Our friendship will last for a lifetime, which we appreciate, Rid. You've been the real deal ever since the beginning of meeting you on the field, off the field, in the meeting rooms. You're always just a straight shooter, and we appreciate that of you, brother. Robbie G. And we were talking just now a little bit before we started this episode about working out and how you have to go through that grind. And when your body wasn't feeling it when you were in middle of training camp,

you still had to go out there and participate. But we were talking about how we still love the grind like that. But also at the same time when your body is telling you, hey, we need some rest. It's nice to sit back and relax and let your body rest and chill out. And then when you're ready to work out again, you're ready to work out again. How do you view that? And how are you viewing your life with your body now ever since you stopped playing the game of football? And especially because you have a wonderful wife, Alexis, who runs at gym in Woodland Hills and is an unbelievable fitness trainer and keeps your ass in shape a little bit as well.

But how's your body doing these days after the football that you play in your career? Man, I think first, first, you took the words out of my mouth with wife, man. I got to give it to her. I married a good lady. I don't always like to be around her, but she keeps me in shape, man. She keeps me in shape, dude. Is that why you don't like to be around?

I told you, he's a straight fucking shooter, and his wife knows it too. Man, because I go home and get back to Mississippi, see mom and dad, eat the good southern cooking. It's fried catfish, you know, but then you come home to wife and I kiss her on the cheek and I hug her and then she's looking at me the next morning

at 6.30 a.m. because she's out the door. baby's going to work early and the next question that comes out Babe, I love you Are you coming to the gym today to work out? So it's like, I have a permanent coach You know what I mean?

And so that's how I look at my body right now But I'm not pushing and grinding as hard as we used to Because people don't realize the work that We put in on the hell days When nobody in their right mind would even be out there We had to push harder and go further And so now it's like The luxury of being able to say

I ain't working out today I ain't working out tomorrow either. Might drink a beer on Wednesday. You know what I mean? Like, I can do that. But I'm not going to go, what we just say, too long without getting back in that gym at some point in time. Because you get sloppy pretty quick. But how good does that feel like your mind's telling you after like three days, all right, it's time to work out?

So then you don't really push yourself. It just feels good to go in the gym, work out hard, let all the endorphins release. And then you don't have to worry about it again for another two, three days. That's the difference from grinding every single day. to now, you know, well-deserved being retired and just grinding when you need to and just staying in the shape that you just need to be for living life. And more for me, I think it's just like that sweat, like you said, it might not always be like moving the weights. Like I laugh because I go to the gym and the gym that my lady works at, just train over in Chatsworth, man, people are pushing weights

in there. It's active. They have a great community. And here I am ex-NFL player. You know, I'm not like labeled on my chest that that's what it is, but people who know, know I used to play. bro, I'm not moving over 35 or 45 pound dumbbells. No shame in it either. You know what I mean? But by the time my lady gets done making me do single leg squats and I'm doing split jerks with these weights and moving it at functional movements, it's like, hey, it'll get you. It doesn't take much.

So I look at it today as like we're just trying to do the opposite of what the people in front of us did. Everybody retired back in the day and they blew up. You see players now retired and everybody's getting a little bit skinnier, you know what I mean? So it's just a generational thing. It's a time thing, and it's just being smarter. But I think we all had enough hits and banged it out long enough that the workout is just when we need it. Maybe the older guys got beat up a little more now, too.

Because just like those guys are in the technology of getting back, like has been different in these last 20 years, I would say. Then, you know, like you look at guys that play in the 70s or those guys got beat up, man. And we got guys that are beat up too. beat up, but the technology and the advancement and I would say medicine and knowledge as well is so much higher now where, you know, instead of just fucking, you can't just give up on everything, we're kind of educated that if you want to feel good and you have to work for it and you still keep it in your routine at some point. You know, a lot of those guys, it's tough because I did it in my first couple years where you're just like, I'm done. I don't want to do

anything with football. You're exhausted. But like, you realize that you always have to work in order to feel good because that's, you know, our body's been through a lot. But, you know, you have to work for that. It reminds me like that rehab process, you know how when we all had those injuries that we were going to be down for a couple of weeks. And when you first get that injury as a player, you go in there and you hit the rehab hard because you're trying to get on the field. Yeah.

And as soon as you get on that field, you're like, what, that dog kicks in. You're like, I'm back. Like, look, screw the rehab. I'm ready to go home and lay down and chill. But we would so quickly go right back to being hurt or filling that little twill. week if you don't do what keep doing that rehab and that stuff after so like that's kind of where our body is now it's like we're not lifting to go out there and be gladiators and banged out we're just trying to stay where where we don't hurt to swing a dog we're in a full-time rehab house

for the rest of our lives for we want to feel good and pain free you got to stay moving man so real who are your guys in the locker room in new england you're looking at two of them man not just saying that because y'all are here but um i'd have to say man we had a we had a great group We really did. For my four years that I was up there and got to do it. When I think of the Jamie Collins, the Brandon Bowdens, the Amandolas, the Edelman's, the Gruncowski's, the Shane Vereens, the Gerard Blunts, you know what I mean? The Chandler Jones is, bro. I mean, like, you just look at the guys that were on our rosters that really were quality guys that we kicked it with a lot.

And that's why I think that was different on playing. for eight teams in eight years, my first four were in New England, I think our nucleus and how close we were when loser draws a team, those four years in New England was bar none, bro. We had a really dope team. It's because we were also blessed

that we had a lot of continuity. A lot of teams don't have continuity. You know what I mean? When you get to play four years in a row with a lot of the same guys, that's a blessing. Because you know each other, we all kind of know how to work.

You know what I mean? And then you get to add to your game. We were cool. It was cool to be in an environment that had that template. You know what I mean? Yes. Yes. And when I think of that,

I say we go back to that bar being set, man. We all wanted to be great. You know what I mean? I can't speak in locker rooms now because I'm not there. But like, I feel there's a lot more individuals playing ball now than team guys. And so for us, it was always like a position thing.

Like we knew the tight ends, bro. Chico, Grunk, Who Man. Look at the receivers. Who man. Jewel. Brandon Lloyd. Dionne Branch was there when I first got there. West was there when first got there.

But you look at these guys that are there. It's like, man, all these guys were going and like full go on the field every day. Tell people all the time, if you didn't practice in New England, a lot of times you didn't play. It wasn't like we didn't get, I'm not going to say we didn't get any off days. But Bill had that set that if you weren't on that field Monday through Friday most times until y'all got to the back in, man, you're You're going to be truly established as a player in order to be able to miss a day

and then have them start you still. Like at least four or five years in the league and proven as well. Like Tom Brady, oh, he's going to miss Thursday. Well, that's cool. He's been playing 12 years. He didn't do that until late though, bro. Late in your career. Yeah, he never did that when you were at.

And I even say my first four, I never saw Tom and the people were like, man, who's Tom, and you said, I'm like, Tom is really who y'all see? Like, he is. He grines. He didn't start getting vet. He works. He didn't start taking vet tape. I want to say like 39.

And that's crazy. And that's before, that like, and that's, we've seen a couple 40-year-old quarterbacks now, and that's because of, like usually that people were done

at like 37. Bro, but that was the bar that was set for our whole roster, though, you know what I'm saying? Like, every room was competitive.

Like, I look at this, like, we were splitting, I was splitting carries. Even on like my money year, we were splitting carries, bro.

We had a stable of backs. Shano, Woodhead, blunt, And hey, one of us went down. It was just like, you're going to slide the next man there. You know what I mean? But as a unit, when you're up there and we're playing championship football and we have a standard that, hey, look, we're playing practice, how we do the game, how we do walkthroughs.

And nobody was messing around. Billy O. is going to fire your ass up if you're not on your P's and Q's. Josh McDaniels will throw a fit in a minute and tell you to get out of there. You know what I mean? Like, it was a tight ship, bro. Like, we were just about business, you know? So it's different. The captain of the ship was always the standard holder.

Tom Brady. What was your favorite on-field moment while you were with the New England Patriots? I know you played for about six other teams after the Patriots, but like you had a lot of great moments there as well, a lot of great stories. But what was your favorite Patriot on-field moment? Favorite Patriot on-field moment? I know you got plenty. I know mine. I'm going to tell you mine after about you, about you, Red, after, you know, you tell me about yours. But, oh, mine will always stick in my head for the rest of my life what you did.

to this defender. I'm going to tell you mine first, actually. Go ahead. Yeah, I'm going to tell a little story first. You can, you can finish it off. But we're in London. We're in London, man. We're playing the St. Louis Rams in London. Yes, they were the St. Louis Rams at the time. Man, whatever. Sam Bradford, I remember the first drive threw like a 40-yard bomb. We were down 7-0. I was worried, like, we're really going to lose to the Rams. We're making a comeback. Kid Rid is having a good game, but Bill was emphasizing the whole entire time through up the week. Hey guys, you're not wearing your fucking normal cleats. The field sucks in London.

The grass is high. You're going to slip. Everyone's wearing seven studs. I don't care. I don't care how big of a stud you are. You're wearing seven studs. Even if you're a 20 stud guy, you're wearing seven studs. And they're going to be three quarter inch studs as well.

Long grass in London. They don't know. You know, everyone listens. Everyone listens. Soccer players. And then all of a sudden, it's like the third, whatever, quarter and Ridd's in a full-blown fight about his cleats. And they didn't recognize that he didn't have his studs, his stud cleats on. So then boom, they're just going at it. You can tell that part,

but I just remember after that they somehow still put you in. I think everyone else went down or something. You can finish off the story. But I remember this moment after that fight really got a handoff. I blocked my guy. You ran right behind me to my right. Cut it off. You're about five yards in front of me now and I'm just watching you make some guys miss do your thing and then all of a sudden you went full speed put your shoulder pads down and absolutely fucking truck the st louis ram safety like I never seen any trucked before and I'm sitting there blacking my guy and went this guy was knocked out that unconscious yeah because of your run I will always remember that for the rest my life. Running angry, man. Yeah, running angry. And thank you with Coach Pellett for emphasizing those stud

those studs. Break the story down, yeah, break it down. What really happened? What happened? You pretty much own it, 80% of the way. And we went to London, okay, and coach said, like Grung said, seven studs. Everybody has to have seven studs. Well, Under Armour was a new company, okay? It was still early on. Tom was at Under Armour. Ray Lewis was at Under Armour. Who, Julio Jones. I was one of the first backs out there that was Under Armour wearing my boxing boots, you know what I mean? But I couldn't even wear my boxing boots because they were molded.

So Under Armour really didn't have many seven stud cleats. I'm not going to say they didn't have any. They didn't have many. You know, I'm about my swag, bro. Gotta be straight. You know, you feel good. You play good. You look good.

Brin always had like these Superman looking fucking cleats on and shit. Keep going. The visor. Got to have a swaggy, man. Got to have it swaggery, but you get out there to London and coach said have the cleats. And so when I looked up, I asked the equipment guys, I'm like, okay, what am I going to do about seven studs?

Because I know I personally didn't have any. I've never owned a pair. Under Armour never sent me a pair. So I didn't have any. When I got to my locker, the only things that were seven studs where all my underarmers were molded and they had a pair of Nike

seven stud cleats. So I'm like, I'm not wearing those. I'm sponsored by Under Armour. So I go out there and we play the first couple of series And bro, I'm having a decent game Like I get down there to the goal line This is the part because there's a reason why Bill does everything And I look back now, I'm like, coach, okay, you got it

Get down there on the goal line We're supposed to be running in for a touchdown And I slipped on the goal line And when I slipped on the goal line Like my knee went down And I went to the sides of here comes Coach Fier's Redd maybe run over to the sidelines I get up

You got caught. Bro, I slipped. You gave yourself up He said have been able to run in. And when I slip, Coach looked at me and he says, I said, am I going back in? You know, I'm trying to get the tutty. I'm right there.

We handed it, slip down. And he was like, nope. Coach said you down. No seven studs. I said, what? I said, I ain't got seven studs. He was like, Red, we told you this in New England. I said, okay.

I said, well, coach, what do you want me to do? Underarmine doesn't even make seven studs. He says, put on some fucking studs, Rid. I'm like, I don't know what you're doing. I say, well, all right, coach. I say, look, it's all good. If you pay the fine from Under Armour, I'm going to wear these Nike 7 studs. I was like, if not, I'm going to lose everything I got.

Like I say, I'm third round. I ain't got no money. But I haven't a doors going on on the sidelines. This is on the sidelines because I'm not even fierce. No, and it's an argument. Me and Coach fears. It's a full-out argument. It ain't no soft talking here.

I can't understand this because I'm over 100 yards, bro, like in the first couple of quarters. Like, I end up going 160 something. But you slipped at the goal line. And to be exact, you had 15 carries for 127 yards in a TD that game. Impressive stats right there. Did Bill come over to the conversation? Bill kind of got up there. When I was, me and fears weren't seeing eye on this.

I wasn't really backing down too much because all I'm thinking in my head is I'm going to be the one to lose my deal on a seven stud cleat. And there's not even any available for a hundred armor. Many, but there wasn't any, or there was, there was, there was, there was, there was, there was, there was, there's a couple though. I'm guessing they had some, because when I got back to Boston, we had some seven stud cleats. We did, in underarmor, but they weren't in London where we had them. They just had to. What did you do?

I had to put on the Nikes and spat them up, and you'll see when we go back to the second half, I had to spat over the cleats. Because I asked Coach Fier's, well, look, if y'all are going to pay the fine, I said, I'll rock them. I said, but if not, I can't wear Nike when I'm an underarm a guy, what would y'all do? You know what I mean? So I got benched, Mr. Quarter, got cussed out by Bill and Ivan. What Bill say? Bill was like, just put on the fucking cleats rid and shut up. I'm like, I love that.

Great, bro. I love that. Thanks, coach. Yeah. Thanks. I love it. So straightforward. What else to do?

So he did it to me, and I spattered those jokers up, went out there the second half and I was just running so mad because I'm like, this is gross. Oh, so you know. I just was the teacher. And Ridd's the kid that never listened to the teacher, but the principal will always come in or the dean will come in. All right. So you ran that guy over with the Nike cleats. That were all spatted.

Nike's that were spatted up. And if y'all don't know what spat is, I mean, you should know what's bad. You got to be like, you know, the old school ballers that had to tape all the way down where you can't really see much but the toe. But basically, you know, Ridd was just trying to be a smart businessman and protect my, protect my sponsorship. And it costs my ass a couple yards. Couple benchings, some lashings, getting cussed out. But, hey, there it is right there. Man, I'm done.

Looking smooth. Still swaggy. Still swaggy. Still swaggy. Well, it was old school. I mean, guys still spat then. Do guys spat? No one's spats now.

I don't see many people spat, right? Not really. No one spat. There's got to be some, there's got to be some like OG kid now. It's coming out. Bring it back. Let me let me tell you something. If you were those seven stud cleats, the whole entire game, you would have been like me.

I had 146 yards, eight catches and two TD. If you had those studs in the whole time, yeah, in London. London, I had the booty shake as well, and I had the Lardine of the Guard celebration. I give props to Chandler Jones. I went into the training room the night before. I was like,

Chan, I got to do something for the London fans. Like, what can I do? And Chan looks at me. He's like, you can do marching of the guards. And he marched back and forth. And I was like, oh, okay. I had a special team tackles.

I had a tackle inside of life. One catch eight yards, but that's okay. I think I had to kick off tackle. You were playing some special teams at game. You got a tackle. I got a tackle inside the five that Slate was off sides on. We had to re-kick. Dog, come on.

We did go crazy up there. Look at these numbers. I was coming off the broken hand. Remember, this was my first game back with the broken hand. You were in the club? I had a... I forgot about that one. I had a claw on my hand.

I broke it against the Ravens. Damn. Well, that was my favorite Ironfield moment. And a quick summarization, what was your favorite field moment for you, Red? I'd have a same most memorable moment. I just think of my favorite moment. boys and my teammates. Ryan Mallet.

When I knew, rest in peace, Maldog. Rest in peace, Maldog, one five, man. My first game in Foxborough as a rookie, I remember them throwing Mal out there with me. And it really went this simple. I mean, it was like we were played against each other, Arkansas at LSU. I knew a little bit about them, but that was our first time going through practice and kind of getting on the field against the Jacksonville Jaguars. And so it was preseasoning.

I ended up, I think, running for two touchdowns and catching a touch. down, but Mallett really looked at me and was like, Red, just go up the sideline. Like, we were playing, like, some backyard football, and McDaniels ripped our ass for it. Scored on it. Mowdog threw it up. You know, Mal didn't care. No, yeah. But basically, Mal was like, man, look, just go with it, red.

I got you. Like, the backer can't guard you. I'm like, how do you know? I don't even catch balls out the back of the anyway. I'm a first and second down bat. But we're playing backyard football preseason. I go over there. Mowl throws me a bomb in the end zone.

I think it was probably like a 30 or 40-yard catch, maybe the longest of my career. Yeah. But that was one of those times. I was like, man, I might be able to ball in the league a little bit. And then it was in Foxborough. It was the first game. So I think I started out on the right foot, you know, in Foxborough for the fans. So I always look at that.

And I just think of Mowdog, man, just not really cared and thinking he was Tom Brady as a rookie that he could just check a play and call it however he wanted to. But it worked out and we still got cussed out. So I'll give Maldok. Here's what it is. RIP, Maldok. RIP. We'll be right back after this quick break. All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie.

For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her. We know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people, and that got a story. the Citizen Investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling.

I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all said. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I pour gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame.

Jenna World Jenna Jamison, Vivid Video, and the Valley is a new podcast about the history of the adult film industry. I'm Molly Lambert, host of Heidi World the Heidi Fly Story, and I'll be your tour guide on a wild ride

through adult films. We get paid more than the men. We call the shots. In what way is that degrading? That's us taking hold of our life. In the 1990s, actress Jenna Jameson crossed over into mainstream culture, redefined stardom, then left it all behind.

I'm a powerful woman. I think that's intimidating to a man. With a cast of hundreds of actors and comedians playing key figures, we'll take a look at how adult films became legal in the 70s, hugely profitable in the 80s and 90s, and fell off a financial cliff in the 2000s.

A hundred percent of women go through menopause. It can be such a struggle for our quality of life, but even if it's natural, why should we suffer through it?

types of symptoms that people talk about is forgetting everything. I never used to forget things. They're concerned that, one, they have dementia, and the other one is, do I have ADHD? There is unprecedented promise with regard to cannabis and cannabinoids, to sleep better, to have less pain, to have better mood, and also to have better day-to-day life. Listen to Decoding Women's Health with Dr. Elizabeth Pointer on the IHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you're listening now. I always remember you always talking about LSU and how crazy it was playing there. Who?

What's it? I went to Kent State. Yeah. I went to the University of Arizona. I had 586 people at my senior day. Mm-hmm. Game. 586?

I think maybe 1,000. It was snow, a little snowy. Can you explain to us the environment and the, the time you had in LSU? Like, just. And what it's like just to be a tiger. Yeah, LSU Tiger. Because I look at an outsider looking in, I'm like, man, those SEC, it's just different how they treat the football.

What is, tell us, dip into that. Sometimes when you see an SEC program on TV and just overall, everything about it, it feels like and it's religious, sees like it's better than playing on an NFL team sometimes. Can you describe to us like what it was like? I feel like y'all putting the battery pack of my back right now. And I'm going to let y'all have it. You want to know, Mac, guy, middle of the pack and the pack 10. Like, we want to hear what it was like.

What was it like to be on the best SEC champion? Yes, okay. National champion. Okay. Well, let's say this. As a kid, you come up in Nashville, Mississippi, an hour from the steps of Tiger Stadium, there's as many LSU fans,

Louisiana State University fans living in Mississippi, as there probably is in Louisiana, you don't find many Mississippi State or Ole Miss. Miss Rebels living in Baton Rouge. But that shows you the influence that LSU really has on the whole South. Because LSU, when it comes down to the purple and gold and the Tigers, football is life, bro. And when I say life, it's everything. And I grew up in the era that I came in when Nick, SABin was leaving. So I was watching that program be developed by one of the best coaches. I say

Nick Sabin is the Bill Belichicka College football. And when he was at LSU, he was really building a dynasty there. And he left and went to Miami. But as a recruit, me coming in, I was watching the Jamarcus Russells, the Loran Landrys, the Glenn Dorsey's, the Tyson Jackson's, the Dwayne Bowes. Like all of those names I just named y'all are all, regardless of what they did in the pros, they were all top 10 picks. All these boys were on the same team when I was getting recruited and watching going down there.

So we go back to the standard and setting the bar and what I saw in Baton Rouge. And so I'm getting recruited and I go down there. And once you get there, not exaggerating at all, it was during this time, you would have two to 300,000 people outside of the stadium every Saturday. This is not made up.

The stadium sits between 90 and 100,000, and everybody is wasted. I'm telling you, like, it's like they are there to watch their tigers play. They shut the city down. Everybody's in purple and gold. If you're on the visiting team, they don't care if it's your kid, your grandmama, your daddy. You're getting cussed out if you're not a tiger. What are they drinking? Moonshine?

What's in, what's in? No telling. Beer's by the keg. I mean, we got keg stands going. It's going to be Crown Royal. Crawfish? Crawfish. Make?

Cor's light? What's the tailgate? Corr's light, of course. For sure. The Rockies are cold. They are. And, I mean, the beer's flowing. It's just a, it's a shit show.

It's like a Marty Grawl, but every Saturday because this is what everybody in the South is looking forward to. Now, are they a classy fan? Like, I always, like, what is, what's the, like, Old Miss? They all come in, like, skirts and, like. They're kind of, they're, like, little yuppie? Your Ole Miss guys are kind of nice and tight. What are the Baton Rouge people like?

Baton Rouge people like? Baton Rouge people. have the culture. Like, you know, like, you looked on our sidelines. We had a little boozy on the sidelines. We had Webby on the sidelines. I'm not making this up.

Wayne came through. Snoop came through. I mean, you name the stars that wanted to come through and be somewhere. It's lit in Tiger Stadium on Saturday night, bro. And we're playing all Louisiana music.

We're going to have the vibes right. I mean, you go there now. I wish y'all boys would come, drunk. Took me up on the offer back on the desk while I rock with my dog. He came down in salt when it was. But now,

but now it's lit. They have it like a nightclub, bro. it is it was wild I was literally like good thing I didn't go here for school I want to be on the New England pages I won't even be in the NFL dude

I would have got caught up was it was it the by week or the off week that I was super bowl it was Super Bowl it was your second year in the league my third year in the league because that's when I was going crazy yes I was running girl so

going crazy going crazy and I was like grunt game is where he's like I'll come And I'm like, yeah. And I knew Grunk liked the party. Grunk got it in. But I always felt, I'm like, grunk partied hard. He played hard.

When was the first time you party with grunk? The first time I parted with grunk was the first memorable party, we were always partying on the short bus. Before we had a, the short bus was freaking awesome. We sure were. I wasn't on the short bus. The first memorable party was, man, we're both in trouble. But I'm just saying, when you had that party at the house, overwork, and, you had a party at the house.

and it had legit. It was legit. A great atmosphere. It was. Great atmosphere. Yeah. So we want to run up at there. A lot of players here.

The best part about it was like, I only knew Ridd a little bit. And I just remember like, oh shit, we need some help. Like, we need some help. Like,

we need backup. I call Ridd and call the Rift. Because I go, Ridd. I go, I never know, we never hung out before,

but we've been great friends in the locker room, all that. I go, but I need you at my house right now. And I need you to bring all the rookies that you can possibly bring because I need backup. This is a 100% true story.

And when you walk in this house, I'm going to easy to say in one house, there was 75 to 100 people that I did not know that were not my teammates. It's when we were a little bit of a young kids. Young bachelors. Young bachelors. Maniacs. Young bachelors. What about this ultra trip? Well.

Oh, that was a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of. one of the best trips of my life that was awesome because that was my first time uh what year was this right 2012 2012 2012 2012 2012 2014 was it the last year it was uh the same same year after i blew out my acl mccccc so i blew out my acl mcccc in like november i think of 2013 so it was february march of uh it was march of 2014 march because i came back for the 2014 season and we won the super bowl in February of 2015. And I got a comeback player of the year that year. So it was March of 2014.

We all went down to Miami. We went to Ultra. We had a great group. We had all your friends, all my friends. We had a penthouse in Miami, man. It was just one of the best times. It was the first time we truly got outside of the Boston area. We did.

And we just took over, man. We're hitting pool parties. Hitting pool parties. We were in DJ Boos. And I just remember us really being, they were giving us the VIP treatments. So we were just bouncing from stage to stage and in the DJ booth, but you look out and it's like you see these flags

from people like all over the world. You remember that? Because it was like when, who was it, Swedish House Mafia? It was like on their last tour and their last show. And you look out there and you see these flags and these people and it's like, bro, I guess this is how they look at us on Sundays

and we're out there playing and doing our thing. But the atmosphere that it was in Miami was like, that was one of the biggest parties I think I've ever been on. And we ended up migrating from stage to stage Ended up on a yacht somewhere out there And like in Miami. And it's like a typical Miami party

that it's everything in an over the top But it's so normal down there But in us being there, bro, It was one of those parties that I'd say it was noted in the books that it was one of the best It was top. Because it was a three or four day banger That we were out there just going crazy.

I mean, outside of all this partying, I just read whenever I'm hanging with you, man, It's always a party. We don't even have to hit the bar anymore. We don't have to go to the club anymore a Friday night when we were 23 years old. That's what I love about you, man. You bring the juice every single day, whatever you're doing.

You bring the mood up in the room every single time. You just overall just bring that vibe where you just make everyone else feel that vibe as well. And that's why we appreciate you, man. And back in the day, yeah, it was going out to Miami and partying and bringing the vibe. But what's so cool, man, is that you haven't changed one bit. Yeah, we're slowing down. We're calming down. But you bring that vibe just here on the podcast.

You bring that vibe just playing pool, you know, bring that vibe just going out to a restaurant. That's what I really appreciate about you throughout the whole time of knowing you, man, and just lifting up everyone's spirit, man. It's much appreciated. Man, I love you, bro. And you always had really good, cool toys. Like, Ridd was the guy, like, on the off day, all the guys would go to Ridd's house. He lived up on this area, North Batabro that had, like, a fire lane where he had, like,

all these side by sides, quads, dirt bikes. every fucking toy. Can I throw it out there? I throw it out there. I find it I'm going to let you keep on with this. I got to give my people a shout out now, y'all. Yeah, no doubt. It took me 13 Plaris's to finally sign a deal with players this past year, y'all.

Let's go. And I tell people all the time, I'm like, if y'all could hear the stories of back in the day on our off days and here you are telling it, we were just trying to do anything on a Tuesday to get away from the football field for a second. Yeah. But we spent many off days on Tuesdays, random Tuesdays, riding the power lines. Power lines. You know what I mean?

Just going. So go ahead, Julie. The Mansfield power lines. In top of that, Rick got me to buy a Polaris. I think it was 550 C.C. You got the Scramble? 550 C C C four-wheeler and then also

Polaris side by side as well. How much you get? I paid it all in cash too. Oh, yeah, he did. Right at Moms on Route 1. Ninkovich now owns Mom. So shout out to Ninkovich. Yeah, he's a part owner.

Yeah. Let's go, Niko. Shout out to Ninkovitch putting some money in his pockets back in the day. He appreciate that. Dude, it was, it was our life, though. I mean, we had to do something. You know, we couldn't get too far because it was a Tuesday. We had to back of work on Wednesday.

But I just remember us riding. And it went from the side-by-size and the four-wheelers to Jules and Dole ended up on the pit bikes that just retired. Just retired. About two months ago, we finally had to just say that was it. We threw them out. Had them. But they lasted, what, 12 years, 15 years? They lasted 15 years, but they lasted seven drives.

We drove them. seven times. We bought them from China. It was like, they were like cheap, but they were badass. Yeah. Yeah. You know, they're the little Chinese dirt bikes. They were great. But like, dude, they were like one-twenty-fives. Like, they were fun. We would go follow you guys on the trails. Dude. You were crazy, bro. It was, where did this love of all these like, you were basically like Rob Deirdex's fantasy factor, bro? Hey, look, that, that's a goal to meet that guy one day, too, because he definitely motivated me coming up. But growing up in Mississippi, deep, deep, deep,

You know, it's a different lifestyle down there. So that's why I became a great athlete because it was ball, it was hunting and fishing, and it wasn't too much outside of that to do. And now living in California and being blessed and fortunate, we've worked, we got on the side, look where we're at. You know, this guy's got houses in three or four different states. We can go get entertained whenever we want.

Just like, what city do we want to be in today? And we go, dude, Mississippi, you don't have that luxury. So it's like, you have to have a simple life and be thankful for what you got. And we grew up off the land. You know, so if I wasn't shooting and killing shit, you know, I was trying to ride and go fast and race and try to find an adrenaline rush somewhere. And if it wasn't there, then we're on the field working out, trying to get better at the game. So it was like, it wasn't that many options.

But once I got out of the South and got up to New England, got to get around y'all boys, made the team. I laughed because as soon as I made some money, I took 14K and went and bought two snowmobiles, you know what I mean? and had those that might have been a bad investment. But hey, look, you know, country boy out the south, what else am I supposed to do? So I got up there and got my snowmobile. If Under Armour find you for those Nike spatted cleats, you would have never been able to buy those snowmobiles.

See the connection here? Oh, gosh. So this is, the outdoor world has always just been something that's been a part of me. But it's good because not a lot of people get to do it. So it's always fun when you can bring people out. Hell yeah. To see it and experience it.

And then it's like, you kind of recruit people. It's just, it's crazy for me. This is going to sound weird, but you were like the first black dude I ever met that had like lifted trucks, road dirt bikes. You were like Bubba Stewart. I never met dudes like that. You know what I mean? Yeah.

And like I, it was just crazy to me. You shoot guns. Like you hunt. You were like super. You were like the first country like cool black dude I met that like went to country concerts and stuff. My God. I never met any guys like you before.

I appreciate it. Because they don't have that in Cali. It's a little different, you know what I mean? Yeah. They don't have that in Buffalo, New York either. That's what I say. You come out the South, babe. We were city slickers.

Rock the boots, you know. We like four by fours and jacked up trucks. But it's just, man, it's country living at the end of the day. But I tell people all the time and I can humbly say this, man. I'm just, I'm a unicorn, you know. And I couldn't leave the house as a kid any kind of way. I grew up in a house full of women. they were always on me about my fits

like it had to match you had to be you know presentable they didn't let you do so even though I'm from the country my parents raised me to have like some style and some swag to it but I never got away from my roots man so like I always wanted to just make a grip of money so I could go back and buy a piece of property

where I could just shoot mallards all day and invite my boys down to come and shoot because it's a competition deal it's like in my dream I would have me like a driving range out there for 100 yards where I could hit golf balls and then you turn around on the backside and we might be shooting skit, you know what I mean? But it's all good, fun competition.

But that's just kind of, that's the country boy dream, man. So that's where it came from. That's the Mississippi roots in your boy, man. It was sick. Well, all the way from Mississippi out here to L.A. In the Hollywood world, what about that race with Kevin Hart back in the day? About what it was a year and a half ago, two years ago? You race Kevin Hart, didn't you?

I forgot about that. How did that come about? And didn't he, like, pull his abdominal muscle? Did he really think he was going to get you? Like, he thought he had a chance for his kid rid. If y'all was, you don't challenge kid rid. I can tell you that. I don't care who you are.

Tell me, though. Was that what it was? What happened? I was a little thicker. I was a little thicker. And we were at a party in the backyard. And Kev is, like, everybody says, you meet the stars. I met him in person a few times.

Kev doesn't really change up too much, you know. Like, he's going to talk. his shit and poke his fun, but he was just on one that day. Like, he just wanted the race v. Cup, like, poking at me here and there, but all in good fun. And then he finally just came up to me and was like, man, we're going to do this or not. I said, bro, you're wearing fucking crocs, man. Get out of my face.

Talking about race it. He was like, no, I'm serious. I'm an Olympic swimmer. He's like, believe it or not, I race Michael Phelps in the pool. Like, I can do that too, but I watched him, bro. Like, on the basketball court, he was betting money shooting around the horn, like going around the arch. Yeah.

He was hitting shots. So he's, he's athletic. He's small, but he's a big athlete. I'll give it to him. And he's got big confidence. And he's got a lot of money,

so he probably hired a lot of coaches and shit too now. He got big confidence. And then he got me. He looked at me and he was like, if you think he can get me, he was like, would you bet the house on it? Going back to having big money. Way more money than I got.

I'm like, what house are we talking about betting here, Keb? No, I'm not betting my house on racing you, who you are. how many hundreds of millions in your pocket don't have a job, you work out

every day, I don't know what you got going on. If you're saying you're this fast and you're pressing me for freaking 30 minutes straight, I'm sitting up, if you're kind of wondering, like, what do you have? You know what I mean? I haven't run full speed since I left the Steelers. But I'm not going to let short guy talk me out of this right now. So I said, let's go.

And I told him, it was like, we're going outside. He said, my shoes are in the truck. I said, perfect. So we went outside, got down. You know, your boy had to stretch a little bit. You do dynamic? Laced up, oh yeah, bro. Laced up the shoes, tied them tight, stretched the hammies a little bit.

And, you know, I got down in the four-point stance. I'm in business. So you went three, what do you mean four-point? You went? Track, track daddy? Track daddy, bro. Both hands down? Both hands down. Kev was sitting up there, standard, staggered stance.

You know? Did you know? You know, my get-out's lethal. I can't get past 50 yards, but that- More are you guys racing? Yeah. 40. Oh, 40.

So that's why I was like, all right, let's see what he's got. But we got out there and Kev was, he was trying. He wasn't moving. He wasn't moving. And when I tell you he was running, we ran the first one, and he accused me a jumping. Said I jumped off sides, gapped him, two or three links. He wanted to run it back again. And when he ran it back again, that's when the blowout happened.

And it was like a freaking sniper was on the roof. You know what we're saying? When that hamstring grabs you. Dude, those are not, I'm not laughing. You just said, ah. Bro, hey. That's what it sounds like. When it grabbed him, dog, you just saw it in his face.

I mean, and in his defense, tore the hammy, tweak the groin. Oh, he tore the hammy as well? And tore a lower ab. Oh, man. He was going. That means he was trying. I just thought it was a low-off. That means he was trying.

I thought he only tore a lower app. No. It was a groin hammy and lower app. And lower app. And that was on the second one. That's why we said we were out there drinking tequila, having a good time. And next thing you know, we went to the street. You guys are over 36.

You can't be sprinting on tequila. Br, bad idea all the way around. All the way. All the way. So what was the bet? You get anything? I didn't, bro. I didn't have it in me to bet the house, as Kev said.

I didn't. But, uh, scare money don't make money. It don't. It don't. It don't. It don't. It don't. And I probably, I probably should have taken that bet.

But when you haven't opened up your gate in years, That's scary. It is. So you were a little worried as well. Oh, a lot of worry. I was a lot worried. And I was drinking too. So you're dehydrated.

We know how that goes. When you're drinking sometimes, though, like, everything's activated. Like, you're good to go. And you know you have like two sprints in you as well. What party are you guys in? Yeah, you're looped up before it all goes on you. And it worked, man. It worked in your favor.

Yeah. What party is this? Well, the party was actually a boss, who is Kevin's trainer. And boss actually owns a gym just train over and chat. Worth where my girl works. Oh, wow. Boss and Kevin have had a relationship for like 20-something years like forever. So boss's birthday was at his house and he was throwing a house party there.

And so everybody just pulled up. That's pretty cool. Kevin came through. What's the name of the gym? The name of the gym is just trained. All right. And it's just trained over in Chatsworth. And if you're looking for a good gym, man, good people, good energy, great vibes.

They get it in over there, money through Friday. We've done a few workouts there. They really do. It's a great atmosphere. It's a fun place to go and train. Because every time you go to the gym, you don't feel like getting it in. Sometimes you've got to go in there and the people, the energy lifts you. Get you going.

Look at that form, man. Look at that form. Little lean, you got the high knees going. Drive phase, man. You still got it, my man. You'll always have it. I can't say that now. The power.

That's your game. The explosiveness right off the start. Nah. He was kind of with you. He was kind of with you. He was a couple steps behind the whole time. But you got stride on him so he would never catch you, but he was kind of with you at first. The first 10, bro.

He was with you. You were rolling. I'll take anybody for the first 10. You know that. But after that, you ain't getting me. If I'm in front of you in the first 10, I was smoke you in the first 10. Tools, you can't even move your neck. I will fucking.

You look like Frankenstein. I will smoke you in the first 10. I had a good 10 of a 20. This is you right now. You're like a robot. And you're telling, freaking K-Rid, you're going to smoke them. Give me six weeks. Give them six weeks

Six months Look Fresh off of I are We hadn't played a snap You hurt my man And look what we're at Well You know it's going to be bad

Anytime somebody starts off by saying Well He's bad Ladies and gentlemen The age He's so funny To all my men Women out there that are 40 years old

And above It's not a game Respect that age Respect that age Or that age will Make you respect it I was just forced to respect it. This is just public service announcement because I know people may see me out.

And I don't want you to be alarmed, but I'm in a wheelchair. Yeah. I'm in a wheelchair. Why? We're going to try to jump out there and do some young stuff. Try to go out there and do some young man stuff. And I was told to sit my ass down. Shouts out to Stephen Wiley.

I'm going to put this story out there before we do. Wait, Stephen what? Me and Steven Wiley, we got into a little debate. The debate was based off who was faster. Those that know me know I'm pretty fast Steven said Kevin ain't no way You're gonna beat me Stephen is an ex NFL running back played for New England Patriots

Very good guy I said Steve you can bet it he said bet I said bet we get out there we go run the 40 year old dash 40 yard dash Guys I blew all my shit tore my lower abdomen My abductors are torn I don't even know what that is but I tore them

I tore those two I can't walk He's funny Sit my ass down. What are we competing for at this age? Why are we like, what am I doing? Why did I even race? Got to be the stupidest man alive.

It is what it is, man. While he's rolling. Bro, bro. And I have to say with him, Kevin, you never know if he's joking or serious, right? So after the race, when he said that he tore his shit, I didn't know if he was, like, embarrassed and leaving because he didn't want to be there because we race twice. and he got beat. But when he said these words to me, I knew he wasn't playing.

He was like, no, I need to go to the doctor. He was like, everything is hot. I was like, oh, he ain't, he ain't playing around, you know, because you know how it is if you tear a muscle, you get that. Dude, it's, you feel it. It's bleeding.

Bro. So when he said that, everything's hot, he hopped at the car, his wife had to ride with him, and they left the party. But they left, and like the next day was in the wheelchair. And I'm just like, I felt bad.

But it's like, bro. You got to respect to age. Respect to age. As you said. Get off the tequila, man. Get off the tequila, man. Maybe we shouldn't race in six weeks. We'll be right back after this quick break.

All I know is what I've been told. And that's a half truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy Kilder, we know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people, and that got the citizen investigator on national TV.

Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all said it. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go

A hundred percent of women go through menopause. It can be such a struggle for our quality of life, but even if it's natural, why should we suffer through it? The types of symptoms that people talk about is forgetting everything. I never used to forget things.

They're concerned that one, they have dementia, and the other one is, do I have ADHD? There is unprecedented promise with regard to cannabis and cannabinoids. To sleep better, to have less pain, to have better mood, and also to have better day-to-day life.

Jenna World Jenna Jameson, Vivid Video and The Valley is a new podcast about the history of the adult film industry. I'm Molly Lambert, host of Heidi World The Heidi Fly Story, and I'll be your tour guide on a wild ride through adult films. We get paid more than the men. We call the shots. In what way is that degrading? That's us taking hold of our life. In the 1990s, actress Jenna Jameson crossed over into mainstream culture, redone,

defined stardom, then left it all behind. I'm a powerful woman. I think that's intimidating to a man. With a cast of hundreds of actors and comedians playing key figures, we'll take a look at how adult films became legal in the 70s, hugely profitable in the 80s and 90s, and fell off a financial cliff in the 2000s. Listen to Jenna World on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Let's jump into the dude that Stephen Ridley wanted to break down. Set the clock. Let's get our AI anopsis.

So let's explain to Rid kind of what we do here on our show, dudes on dudes. We talk usually about a dude or two or three each episode, Rid, and we break him down. We talk about his game for about 10 minutes, what type of player he was. But overall, after the 10 minutes, we put each guy and label him into a cat. of what type of dude they are. And there's five different categories that you can label them. One is dog. The other is a stud.

There's a stud. There's a whiz, a dude's dude, and a freak. Yes. Wiz being a guy that is innovative. This guy's brilliant. He's revolutionized something. A freak being a Randy Moss dude. That's just this doesn't look like a freak.

It doesn't look like a fucking. K. McCaff. Doesn't look like a. It looks like a freak of nature. Stud is someone who's had the peck. His whole life. He's supposed to be that guy. Like a Joe Burrow.

Joe Burrow of Pete Manning. You know, guys that were first overall draft pick, Heisman guy, you know what I mean? They were always the guy. And steal him. A dog is a motherfucker that has been self-motivated. It's motivated, had to maybe go the long road, but always like physically, mentally fucking tough will bite your face off, not liked by many people, but fucking respected by everyone. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then you got the dudes dude who's like a glue guy in the. locker room. The guy in the locker room that was you know a vibe guy. He knew how to be a great leader. He was the guy that would cool the room when it needed to be cool, but light it up if it needed to be lit up. Yeah. So now let's get on to the

AI synopsis of the guy of the dude. We're supposed to be talking about that. We're being talking about that Ridley picked here today. Standing at 6 foot one and weighing 220 pounds. This dominant running back was selected 7th overall in the 2007

NFL draft the year I graduated from high school. He grew up in Palestine, Texas and starred at Oklahoma, where he set an NCAA freshman Russian record and was a Heisman finalist. He holds the NFL single game rushing record with 296 yards and was named 2012 NFL MVP after nearly breaking the single season rushing record. He went on to play 15 seasons in the NFL for seven different. teams. Let's get on Adrian Peterson.

Jesus. And Redd. What's the first thing? Let's get his headshot. Oh yeah. First, we need Ritz headshot up here, man. I forgot about you, man. I didn't forget about you. I forgot about the headshot. So let's get your big ass up there. And let's get this smooth criminal

Adrian Peterson up here as well. Put those side by side? One of the best running backs to play the game. But what's the first thing you think of Adrian Peterson, why did you pick him? I think of AP, I remember everybody I called him AD all day, AB. And I just remember him in Oklahoma. Oh, my God. When I was coming up playing ball, I'm watching this guy running Oklahoma.

And I just remember as a running back, like how aggressive, downhill and violent he ran. Like, you just didn't want to be in his way. And so as a running back, me, that's what. jumped out to me on his film and I always kind of like to say I tried to pattern my game after that. Like I just wanted to be somebody that you didn't want to tackle for four quarters and AP was really that guy. I think for the years that he was on in college

and the pros, when he was healthy, he was electric, man. He was electric. Have you guys ever hung out? I bumped shoulders with him a few times. I had a friend of mine who was a real close with AP. Yeah. And I think it was my second year after I ran for a lot of yards. he got AP to sign something and has a picture,

and it's still in my house to this day because that was my favorite running bat. And he actually signed it and gave it to me. But no, I hadn't had a chance to sit and kick it with AP for a period of time. I'd love to do that, though, just to pick his brain because he was, he set the bar back of the day, I'd have to say.

He was... Explain how dominant he was at Oklahoma. I think back to those days, what was like Reggie Bush was kind of doing this thing. Reggie was... Arguably the best football player in college football history. but both of them same position

to night and day different running backs, right? So when I think of AP, AP was that guy that really just wore a defense down. Like you knew, everybody knew in the ballpark, he was getting the rock, and you couldn't stop him.

So for a running back to really have that dominance as long as he did and then people know that he's the stud, he's the man that they have to stop for that game, and they couldn't stop him for how many years, 15 in college and four in, I mean, 15 in the pros and four in college, that's two decades right there.

So for me, I tip my hat and I say, it's hard to say, who's, who's better? What are the few traits that makes him so good in your eyes? His explosiveness. His explosiveness, him being able to finish a run, and then the physicality he played with. And I could tell that, you know, he definitely was your favorite running back, because that's kind of the way that you molded your game as well, Rid. you were explosive off the lining of scrimmage. You were a physical guy.

It was hard to take you down. You plowed through defenders. Not one guy was tackling you just like Adrian Peterson. So that's cool, man. That's really cool that you get to look up to him and mold your game after him as well. And now we're here talking about him here on dudes on dudes. Well, what's your, you said two unbelievable running backs in college football. And, you know, you could argue both in pro.

certainly AD Reggie had a really good career as well. But college football Mount Rushmore of running backs. Reggie's up there top for sure. But what's the college? What's the Mount Rushmore? You get four. Top four? Top four in college? All time. Ooh. That I watch. So we're going, I'm going to go Reggie. Reggie's out there. I'm going to say AP. I said those two. I will go, I was younger, but I remember watching these boys down in Miami. Willis McGahey. I remember William Smith, McGahey and Clinton Ford. This is junior year.

You're going Clinton, Fortis, too. That's your four right there. I don't know if that be the four, but like. What about, what about Barry Sanders who won a Heisman? That was before my, you know, Barry was a little bit before my time. Like, he was there, but it's like, who did I watch? So we're talking to the era. Like my era that I, actually, I was the next guy I was about to say,

Ricky was nasty in Texas, man. I mean, Ricky Williams was a fucking load. Yeah, so when I think of backs like that, and even Cedric Benson, you all remember him back in the day? These were the guys that I like watch. So when I see the game now, it's like to be a running back, you got to be like a fifth or six receiver, catching the rock off the backfield.

Well, back when I was coming up, we're banging it out with linebackers that are 250, 260. You know what I mean? So you had to be a bull. And when I think of a bull and like dogs in between the tackles, Reggie did something that No Back can do AP

I would have I would have Ricky up there as well I would and who are going for the for the fourth I would say Go McGahey

man when McGahey was Nagy was nasty It was tough Of course ECO though remember He did They did I tore mine twice You know

I'm kind of gonna look at guys that have to Dig deep and come back We know what it takes College so you have who Reggie Reggie AP

AP Ricky Williams Rickie Williams I'd say that I want McGahey or Clinton Porter Both of the boys were People I like love Let's go McGahey then

All right So these are the Mount Rushmore's of Stephen Ridley People that he watched Yes At running back Yes yes Patterner my game off of

Watch film Before I was even watching film These are guys I was looking at Like I want to be like that When I get older That's a solid four AP, dude, he ran for 2,000 yards after an ACL. He was eight months out.

Okay, it's not human. No. That's like not, that was like the, I remember that being the first time someone came back that fast after the ACL and had success. Production. He was legit, probably, like, it's kind of like when the first person to break the, what, four minute mile. And then after that, like 17 people did it in that very next year. But no one in the feet of time could beat it until that one person. And right after that, a year later, like 15 or whatever number of amount of people beat it because someone did it.

It's like the first time someone went eight, eight months. Now that's like the standard. That's standard, yeah, yeah. Because it is. An ACL recovery blew it out is normally like a nine-month recovery. You know what I mean? I didn't feel good until 18. And it takes time.

But, you know, some guys come back and do it a little quicker. but for him at the running back position and then how he was dominating before the ACL and then came back and did that the very next year, that'll never happen again, man, because they literally put the load on them, right, fresh off surgery. Most times they try to slow play you and let you come on back and get healthy.

Back in the day, they were like, hey, P, feed them, you know what I mean? So he was... I mean, he rushed or he tears his ACL, he toured in December, toured in December. Wow, late to see. Comes back and gets 2,097 yards, 13 touchdown. 6.3 a carry nine months after ACL MCL. And he's the last running back to win MVP.

Which is rifle. Still? Yeah. Still. Off of that season. Off of that season. I mean, if anyone was going to do it, it would be Sequin this year. There's last last year.

One trade as well that we haven't talked about, and it's his vision. He can see down the field. He can see defenders coming out and make him miss. That's what makes him such a great running back as well. Strength with his physical. traits and his strength, obviously. But he runs upright, which is what you really don't see out of a running back. And that's what you're not taught growing up as a kid.

It's always have, you know, your shoulders down. Over. Have your pads over your knees. He runs straight up right. But he's such a physical freak of nature that when a guys come at him and he's so fluid, he can just put his pads down at the last second. And the defender wasn't expecting that. And that's what gets him that little advantage of the

unexpected of him putting his pads down and lowering his shoulder and just trucking the guy in front of him. And that's why he was so hard to tackle it as well because he can run upright, have the vision, be able to get in full speed stride, but then have the athleticism of being able to juke and just put his pads down faster than and then you've seen anyone else do it at the running back position. He was a freak in, to me, it was just like a horse out. of a stable, bro. Like, he just, like, his gate and how aggressive he really used to run.

And like you say, most running backs, that's what they want you. They want you, know, tuck down and low. But AP was like, man, you let him out the gate. It's a home run. You know what I mean? If you come to him, you're getting punished. But it was, he was just a, he was a, he was a, he was the guy. Week 8, 2007 versus San Diego Chargers.

Minnesota wins 35 to 17. Adrian Peterson rushes 30 times. For 296 yards. And the league. Three touchdowns broke off a 61-yarder and beat the previous record holder by Jamal Lewis who had a 2005-yard game in 2003, which I remember that game when he was with the Ravens. Like that's insane. 30 touches in the NFL, y'all. When do you see that now, you?

I wonder how many touches he, for a while, like, average during his career. 20 plus. I'm talking like throughout a whole season. Like I would say by the game. I would say AP was probably touching when he was really rolling back a day. He was getting that ball 15 and 25 times a game. You don't see that much often. Ever.

Ever. You got a lot of these two back systems. You got to keep the guys healthy. Yeah. This is crazy. And for him to do it how I did. But that's like where we look at it. It's like man, if we had like going back to us playing back of the day,

we would have to have like a serious injury to our, to our offense. You know, like tight end down, two of our receivers down. that we really had to lean on the run game where somebody's going to really get the ball 20 to 30 times a game. You'd always rotate it, try to keep a guy fresh, try to prolong your team

and keep us healthy going to the back end. But that's that old school ball that we grew up watching. That's how the running backs had to get it out back in the day. It was 20 to 30 carries and you owed the team 100 to 150 yards. Look at how many carries you had

throughout right there. Those are all the carries is years. 238 carries, 363 carries, 314 carries, 283 carries, 208 carries. 348 carries, 279 carries, got banged up, 21 carry season, 327 carries.

Then it starts getting a little, you know. Look at how that, that's a lot of carries. But look at those first one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, let's say the first 10, nine years, nine, ten years. Look at those numbers. And that's in how many games, that's a how many game season? 16. He's toting.

Hello. Like you said, he's a stable horse. Hello. Bro, like, and he was, he was that guy. I mean, everybody wanted to be, if you wanted to be a powerback, that's who you were watching. I mean, it was. He was, he was, he did things that nobody else could do in the game. I was in Pittsburgh, my senior year when he was drafted, you know, top 10 into the NFL.

And I would go to the, you know, other high schools when we were playing basketball into their arenas. And everyone was wearing Adrian Peterson. Jersey. Even being in Pittsburgh with the Steelers there. I've seen an Adrian Peterson, Jersey, at least 10 different other places that I was playing at. There would be like one or two kids in the crowd with Adrian Peterson. AP Jersey. You know, AP Jersey on. It just shows, you know, what type of player he was. Even in the Steel City, people were representing AP because that's how big of a beast he was as a player. He was the NFL at one point. You know, he really was. He was the face of the NFL. And it was like everyone wanted to be a running back, two. And it was like, everyone wanted to be a

running back too as well when he was in his prime prime coming out of college and in the NFL. Remember at the Fiesta Bowl against Boise State with the Statue of Liberty game where Boise beat him? Is that one Boise State? And then that's when Boise State. Yeah, they beat the Statue of Liberty. Yeah. The play.

Yeah. I remember that. Yeah. The guy, I remember the running back. He proposed to his girl running right after. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I do remember that. But I didn't realize that.

He had two tugs in that. I mean, he was a monster at Oklahoma. time we got to determine what kind of dude this guy is all right rid you're your guest out of the types of dudes we have what kind of dude is adrian peterson is he a stud is he a freak is he a dog is he a whiz or is he a dude's dude and why i mean yeah he's a stud freaking dog and all that but i mean rid you can only pick one category that he represents the most okay I'm going to have to say, you got to give him, give him that purple, man. He's a freak.

He's a once in a generation player. I mean, he really is. Why? Because I don't think you're going to see as many people with the breakaway and the physicality and do it for the duration that he did it, college and pro, with that label on his back. And everybody knew it. Like name somebody else who was that dominant, college and pros.

just saw it for 10 years. We know he did it four years in college. And had the ACL came back the next year and do like, come on. That's a freak. That's a freak. And on top it looks like a freak of nature too. I mean, his biceps are just popping out of his arms. Manican. Friken veins just all over to play six-packed. He's a frizzle chest. Chisel legs as well. You don't want those problems. That's a freak of nature. You don't want that. So on three, gronk one, two, Three. Freak. We'll be right back after this quick break.

All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy Kilder, we know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people, and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran.

My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I didn't know her, I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all said it. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame.

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. But what they find is not what they do. expected.

Basically, your stay-at-home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. They go, is this your daughter? I said yes. They go, oh, you may not see her for like 25 years. Caught between a federal investigation and the violent gang who recruited them, the women must decide who they're willing to protect and who they dare to betray.

It's all this is being true to your roots, bro. Keep it 1,000, man. What position group outside of your own did you hang out with the most? That's a good one. That is a good one. I'd have to say the defense, though, because I was kicking it with Jamie a little bit. Hi, so-so, but I said- Those are your guys, because you were a linebacker in high school.

Well, I would say- You guys play against each other a lot in practice. Yeah, like we kind of, one-on-ones. You kind of go in a assume. So I'd say the linebackers, a pretty good bit. All right. If a fight breaks out at practice, what are you doing? Depends, man.

Fight breaks out in practice. We've got to, you know, figure out what it is. But how we're going. He's, he's going. He's going in. He's going in. Depends on who it is. Got to figure out how hard we're going here.

All right, all right. Say a fight breaks out at practice someone. Offensive defense? Offense versus defense. Yeah, excuse my language. Fuck up. And we're riding with our side. Yeah,

until we squire. He's running, running to the fire. I like that. Running to the fire. I like that. Running. Let's speed it up a little bit.

These ones we can go through. We can go through these ones pretty quick. How much can you bench? Bench was, the thing that most ever bench was, was it 3.45? 3.45? Not that strong.

Nope. That's strong for a running back. No, I wouldn't. That's not. Lower end. I wasn't. Lower end. He was, you can squat probably.

Have you ever been fined and for what and how much? Come on, Jules. Is that a real question? Yeah, we ask all the, we ask all the contestants. I ever been fined multiple times. I got fine for my jumpsuits. I got fine for my moon boots. I got fine for my viz.

I got fine for my cleats. Got fine for everything. Conduct detrimental with Bill. I got fired for shoot a pistol on camera. I got fined. A lot. A lot. He's been fine.

He was fine. Shit. Wait? Wait. Fat Camp. Yes. I definitely got five. Ridley has been fine.

I had to get down. This is definitely shaping up to what I think you are. Oh. It's already in my head what type of dude. This last book you read? Last book I read probably be the Bible, man. Bible? I'm trying to get in there.

Biblical man. What was your fastest 40 time? I'd say the fastest 40 time I read would have to be probably a four, five. Five, seven, man. I never could get under that four, five, five, five. I was like a four, five, seven, four, five, eight guy. I was a high four or five guy. All right.

And then last two, what was the first thing you bought when you got your money? A Camaro that I still have today. A suit it up, Camaro. A suit up. It looks like the Batmobile for anyone. It really does. If you see a fucking Batmobile looking Camaro, it's definitely Ridley. I pulled it.

Day one, Tom told me, she, Ridd, save your money, man. And I still have the car right now today. And as soon as he saw him. He said, like, Todd, if I go bankrupt, man, you can back me up, though. You got me? You got plenty. You got plenty of bricks.

He got me. He looked at his red. Just save your butt. I said, okay, Tom. Another supercharger. And then the last question. Oh. How do you eat your steak?

Ha, ha. And that is no shame in me with this one. Well done. I like a light bit of pink. and my meat. That's what I'm talking about. Not bloody. I can't do like.

I'm on the same page. You like a fork and knife? My steak? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What if it's like a bone in ribeye? Are you taking the bone? I'm going to eat everything off the bone.

The sweet meat's on the bone with their hands? Hell, yeah, clean it. That's what's up. Clean it. All right. Well, we got to analyze your answers, Red. We'll be right back. We're going to be right here, but we'll be right back to tell you.

Thank you. We have came up with in a conclusion of what type of Dude, you are. So he's been fined a lot. He doesn't listen to the rules. Doesn't listen to the rules. He doesn't care about it. Yeah, it doesn't.

And you can tell him 50 times with the rules I know still do it. And he doesn't wear flip-flops in the shower. It's disgusting. And he doesn't care about hygiene. All sports. He doesn't care. As long as he's getting his energy out. Is it cool?

Four-star. Four-star. But he does use to. No, always leave my souvenir. Absolutely. He had no doubt about it. That's why I had the whole time. All right.

All right. All right. We got it. We got it. On three. It was pretty easy. Yeah, it was easy. It was unanimous.

Unanimous. Yes. Yeah. One, two, three. Dog. Yeah. You're relentless. You are motivated.

You're physically and mentally tough. You don't give a fuck what people really care about. You walk into showers with when everyone is wearing flip-lops because it's sanitary. and you go barefooted. Not soft. You can be told what the rules are, but you're still going to do your own thing. You're going to be fined a lot of money,

but it's okay because your swag will always be up. Yes. We're going to make a bet. And you love to play any sport out there. You play four in high school. You just love to get your energy out. For sport athlete, those are dogs. You got to do it.

If you're doing all of it, that's dog shit. Yeah. Yeah. You say, I think all your best athletes, It's never really focused on one sport anyway, right? Yeah, and it doesn't even know his GPA. It was low. It was low.

Ballin. That's a dog. Ballin. He went to school for one reason, and that was to be a dog. But you know how to eat. You know how to eat. Knows how to eat. But the fact that you don't eat the steak with your full hands, like the whole time,

is why you transferred to running back. Now I get it. Linebackers and crazy dudes, they eat their steak with their fucking hands. I was just pick it up and go at it. Yeah, like when we went to a restaurant in New York with Rob for like the first time, it was like a fancy-ass restaurant. Rob's got a T-bone and he's chewing it off. People, I'm watching these people at like the polo lounge or whatever this is.
