Great show. show that was a lot of fun thank you to all our fans thank you guys that was that was cool on this live show we will be answering some voicemails answering your questions from the comment sections

Let's get into it. Yeah, let's do it. We'll be talking football. Actually, we'll be talking a variation of everything, Julian,
Starting point is 00:03:34 because it's not about what we want to talk about. It's what you guys ask us. So sending your questions right now, and we'll be answering them. So let's get into it. Let's hear the first voicemail of the day, and we'll have answers for y'all then. Let's see what it is. Yeah, just wanted to get the boys take on what we're thinking
Starting point is 00:03:52 for Thursday night football. Jules, I know you don't like the over. on Thursdays. Davis Mills, bad bills, D? What are you thinking? He's asking you, Joel, so come on, let's hear you. Thursday night, I'm going bills
Starting point is 00:04:10 plus five and a half. Is it minus five and a half? I'm going bills. Look, Davis Mills is great, but I like... Is he great? How great is Davis Mills? He's a great backup quarterback. He's shown production over the last two weeks. I think he's gone for like 246 or something yards a game they've been productive and he did have that win but the buffalo
Starting point is 00:04:32 bills when they play the game the right way when they score first they make the deep the other offense have to be one dimensional they play from ahead they have a really good pass defense like the bills they're they're built to defend the pass so i think the bills are going to play it the right way they're not beat up right now Like the Houston offense, no C.J. Stroud. Like, I think Josh Allen right now, I think Josh Allen is coming into his own. It's in the pasteurization period of the season. We're about to get up into cream season, Grunkey.
Starting point is 00:05:12 You know, and that starts. When's real football season start? After Thanksgiving. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. We will see. So I'm going with the bills tonight.
Starting point is 00:05:22 All right, to counter off that. I'm going with the bills as well. the bills will win tonight. I mean, I'm kind of guaranteeing it, you know. Guarantee? Yeah, I mean, it's in Houston, though. It is in Houston. And Houston gets, Houston's beat up.
Starting point is 00:05:34 I forgot about that. And then you got David Mills, Nico Collins connection, which kind of was phenomenal last week. I think Nico Collins went for like nine receptions for over 100 yards from David Mills. And Nico's a beast, man. He's a bigger wide receiver. He can body guys. He can run fast as well and get open.
Starting point is 00:05:50 But I think the bill's defense is going to thrive as well. They're so iffy. The bills are vulnerable. this year big time but like you said if they play that football formula where it's all you know being like correct football kind of that's kind of playing from ahead yeah they like to they like to play from ahead they're a great team but like the second they get down and like things aren't going their way it kind of goes like that the whole entire game like the miami dolphins game like they couldn't pick it up the engine couldn't get going you know like one or two drives they had that were good but
Starting point is 00:06:19 overall it was it was a terrible performance so very vulnerable i'm going with the bills though tonight just because Houston just isn't that Houston team that we saw the last two years. No, but their defense is for sure. So I got a question. And I do, but is Houston defense solid? Is that what you're talking? Their defense is probably like top.
Starting point is 00:06:36 They're that good? They're that good. I got a question. Their defense is that good. But it's just, it's been choppy on offense. It's been choppy on offense. You know, injuries, you know, our boy Cayley's in there. He's trying to get the new system in there.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Shout out to Kaylee. So like, there's, they got to get going on offense. offense and going in against a Buffalo Bill's team that everyone's been kind of shitting on their defense, you know, like with your backup quarterback, I just don't think it's a recipe for good design. I think it's a confidence boost game for the Buffalo Bill's defense tonight. Okay, I got a question. Hoff to press is from YouTube comments section. We got, there's a Tran, 68, 17. Do you have your own bedrooms at each other's homes? It'd be cool if you did. Kind of. We have, we have like,
Starting point is 00:07:25 I have a dedicated area to Rob in his, because he keeps a suitcase here. And what people don't realize, like, gronk's shit is huge. So we keep five pairs of shoes. It takes up a whole goddamn fucking bedroom. Like five shoes.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Fucking, they're like this big. So like, yeah, he basically has a bedroom here. And I have a bedroom and my shits are huge. So I got my own bathroom as well. And he's got literally for two reasons here.
Starting point is 00:07:54 But it is great. have jewels living here because it is dude i say it all the time like camille packs she has like 500 shirts in her suitcase and i'm like and the suitcase is half my size i'm like dang i wish i was that tiny for like just this moment so i can travel but if i put one pair of shoes in my suitcase and like three shirts it's it's my whole entire suitcase so it just makes it nice to have my own closet here jules uh just put all my shoes in there and then next thing i'm going to be getting actually that i'm going to be keeping here is my own set of golf clubs because i'm going down to a place that you're claiming is the best in the world. The kingdom. Taylor made kingdom. Taylor
Starting point is 00:08:29 made kingdom. Carl's bad. Carl's bad. California. Is that where is that? Carl's bad? I'm going to go clubs that are tailor made to myself so I don't have to bend over when I'm swinging for the ball. And I'm going to become a great golfer because of it. And every time I come here, we can go golfing because I have a set of clubs that fit me. So to answer your question, we kind of have. And then whenever I go to Gronk has like Gronk land. So like there's a bunch of just. free bedrooms so yeah i mean sleep wherever you want yeah you just sleep wherever you want you know wrong you're going to be on the all madden legacy team that's nuts all madden legacy oh that is nuts nuts nuts and bolts that is so where's the question is there a question no how does that feel
Starting point is 00:09:15 all right it feels good you know the all madden team you know it it feels really good and this is why because the New York Jets, they look at the Madden ratings, and that's how they pick their players now. Isn't that right? So, like, knowing that that's how the NFL, you know, the GMs and the front office pick players, and that means I'm in pretty good shape if I'm on the All Madden team.
Starting point is 00:09:36 You are All Madden forever. Means you might have to be a jet, though. I take it back. I take it back right now. So what is this? Is EA is celebrating Coach Madden and his legacy with the host of in-game updates and experiences.
Starting point is 00:09:54 Does this mean they're bringing back? Like, I remember when I used to play Madden back in the day, I would play with like the old 80s-Niner teams and stuff. Can you do that now? I haven't played Madden in such a long time. So they're going to have, is Gron going to be back in the video game? Yeah. That's fucking sick.
Starting point is 00:10:09 It is sick. And what was really cool? I was on the cover in what year? 2017 was it? 2016. And I was actually cleaning out my closet the other month. and I came 2017 I came across like a stack of Madden covers when I was on it and I thought it was like the coolest thing because I kind of forgot about it also I came across they give out Madden shoes to everyone that is a 99 gold in the game the gold shoes yes and I had my gold shoes here and I had a stack of madden games I like it kind of brought back that memory of being on the cover and just how cool of a situation that is like you played madden growing up as a kid and just to be in the game was surreal and then the to get on the cover was just even more insane.
Starting point is 00:10:54 Like it was just really cool that year to just be that guy that was impactful to all the kids that played the video games and just be on the cover. I mean, just a really, really like awesome, you know, moment year actually a whole entire year to be on that cover. It's actually cooler now thinking of it.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Like now it's eight years ago. Like I was on the cover of Madden. Like that's awesome. That's crazy. I mean, you think about it. That's a very exclusive club. How many people have been on the cover of Madden?
Starting point is 00:11:24 It's been around for 25 years. So 25 people, but sometimes... But not even, because it used to be Madden. It used to be Madden. Definitely. So it's probably like 20-ish. So, but with this new game and experiences, what is it? One of these experiences is an opportunity to play with two all-new rosters and all-Madden
Starting point is 00:11:43 legacy team, which that's what I'm on. Thank you, Jules. And against current NFL superstars. So that's what's going on is that, oh, you have? have a legacy roster that you can play on a matto versus the current players right now so that that makes it really cool because everyone simulates like oh my gosh what would uh how would terry brashall be as a quarterback right now well now we can do it yeah and now we can do it on mad hey hey gronk how would you have been as a player in 1980s well we can do it you can put me on a roster and and have me
Starting point is 00:12:12 face guys that were in the 1980s come on now we'll figure it out and whatever whatever madden whatever the scores and outcomes are on madden well then that's how it would have been in you just got me thinking all right I'm always getting you to think jules that's why I'm your good old pal what does AI have to say about like all that kind of stuff like doesn't it do the simulations
Starting point is 00:12:32 you know what I mean oh like how would this team do against this team like I don't think it's up to date yet let's do a plug or not later yeah did you see this Rob you were uh they did like an animation of you ringing the bell in Madden and then you did it for real let's see it wait up was this animation before
Starting point is 00:12:49 I rang the bell or was it after It looks good. I love animations. Was it before or after? It was before. Wow, they got the mix down and everything. Yeah, they do. First trivia here, Madden trivia.
Starting point is 00:13:07 First non-John Madden to be on the cover. Athletes, first NFL guy. What year? What year? 2001. Oh. Oh, Marshall Falk. Close.
Starting point is 00:13:16 He's the next one, I think. Randall Cunningham. Now, running back, running back. What team? Seattle? Titans. Eddie George. Eddie George. First cover of Madden.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Crazy, bro. Hey, guys. What do you guys think about Cam from the New York Giants getting involved on Monday Night Rob despite being injured? I mean, that, I mean. What a question because we didn't even know that you're going to be asking this question here today,
Starting point is 00:13:46 but because Julian and I, when we first met up this morning about four hours ago. What we talked about? Cam Scaddleboat got brought up. I don't know how he got brought up. I think it was because we were talking about the schedule for the University of Arizona and how they got Arizona State left as their last game in two weeks. So I think that's how Cam Scaddlebo got brought up because he went to Arizona State.
Starting point is 00:14:06 And I was like, yo, people are getting so mad about Cam Scadabot. And his injury because he's going out to Monday Night Rock. He's getting involved. He's pushing the guy over the rally. And I said, I'm totally cool with it. I respect it because he's injured. I mean, you can't just sit. at home sitting at home and just pouting makes you a very miserable person i've been in that situation
Starting point is 00:14:28 before and him going out you know getting the blood flow going it's not like he's making his injury any worse i don't think so no not at all he can't do anything about what happened he can't play on it all he did was push the guy he's athletic and he's athletic like pushing the guy that's that's nothing you know and you know it keeps him in front of fans so he doesn't get scared or nervous when he runs out of the tunnel on Monday night and Sunday night football when it's time to go back to football. So I enjoy it and he did
Starting point is 00:14:58 great attitude. Like he's bringing juice to the table so I appreciate that and he's being himself as well. You want authenticity and you don't see a lot of that anymore and he has it. He's basically if you cut gronk in half and he went to Arizona State with a grill. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Oh, he's a gangster grunk. He's a baby gangster gron. He's half-sized gangsta baby grank I love scataboo's just you watch him I seen him on the Twitch and you see him on
Starting point is 00:15:29 WWE and it's just like he's fun yeah and that's all you think like that is he's being himself he's fun and he and he works his ass off everywhere I mean you hear you remember
Starting point is 00:15:42 the press conference where he's fucking about to go lift and he's yelling at day ball here we go and this and here's another point here we go he's being himself and he's going out there wwee he's tossing dudes around
Starting point is 00:15:55 that's who he is and he has to be like that and that brings the best out of him on the football field so if he you know corners himself off the field even through an injury sits at home dormats himself while then when it comes down the football time you know it's kind of like a persona like you're you don't feel like you're that person anymore because you couldn't be that person because you're listening to everyone else saying you're not allowed to be
Starting point is 00:16:19 that person. So always being that person gets you always ready to go on the field and off the field. It's kind of like Michael Jordan. He was gambling. He was betting. We don't know that. No, not gambling. We don't know that. I mean, what do you mean on the series? Siri. Throwing the dice. Dice. He was dice. Just bets. Yeah. Not he was always competitive. On the series on the documentary series. On the documentary series. Last dance. He was always competitive. Always. On the court, off the court. And that's what made him so great on the court because it was always He's turned on 24-7. So is Scataboo a heel or baby face?
Starting point is 00:16:55 I don't think he's a heel. What the baby face? That's like the good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy? Yeah, he's a good guy. Good guy, a bad guy, Rob. He's like a, no, no, he's like a heel baby.
Starting point is 00:17:07 No, for real. He's a good guy, but like, that's badass. There we go. There we go. Bad ass good guy. Yeah. But this is making some people think he's turning heel. They're turning heel.
Starting point is 00:17:18 So if the people are going against him, that means, like, that's his heel moment, maybe. Maybe going to WWE is his heel moment. That's why he's kind of both. That's why I said both because there's like half the people out there like, I hate him for it. So he's kind of a heel to him. And then the other half, he's a baby face too, like myself. Skata juice just got too much juice. You got to let it out, bro.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Skata juice. Skata juice. Cam, check your DMs. We're trying to get you on the show. There you go. Next question. No, he went to Arizona State. He's up, dude.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Patriot Bengals this weekend. How you feeling? How about Jamar getting suspended? Thanks. Patriots versus Bengals this weekend. How am I feeling? I mean, I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good for the Patriots.
Starting point is 00:17:59 I mean, it's another step. This is another step. Look, are the Bengals at full strength? Tell you the truth. I don't think this is another step. Like, it's just another game. Yeah, but another step with them beating Baltimore Ravens or the Buffalo Bills again.
Starting point is 00:18:13 That's the next step. This is just, can they get over a little speed pump right now? Yeah, but they got. They still got to prove that, you know, there's still that they're, I'm not worried. But it is a pro football team. The Bengals have been getting talked a lot of crap on lately. And you know how the NFL is. So you can't just go out there and slap it out there, even though it's the Bengals who don't
Starting point is 00:18:36 have anyone on defense and Jamar Chase isn't playing. And they don't have Joe Burrow. But, you know. Here we go. Trey Hendrickson's out. They're all pro defensive end. he's got like some groin injury or something like he's not his doesn't have a six-pack but I think he has groin or ab injury ab injuries you got come on tray you got to get more jack
Starting point is 00:18:59 man got to get jack you can avoid that injury uh and then we got umar chase he's out you got joe burrow out so like this isn't a stepping stone this is just a game that the patriots have to win and should win they should win but you have to win it and then also talking about Jamar getting suspended, very reasonable. I mean, you can't spit on people. You can't spit on people. And also, it's proven that you're going to get a one-game suspension because of the very first play of the opening this season when the Cowboys, I mean, not the Cowboys, well, it was against Cowboys when the Eagles player, Jalen Carter, spit on
Starting point is 00:19:34 Dak Prescott. He got suspended for a game. Well, they counter that game he got thrown out of as the suspension. So you know if you spit on someone, it's a one-game suspension. Wait. Is Burrow playing? We're looking in the comments. Burrow my play. He just started practicing. I saw that. I saw they opened the window. Yeah, but he's not going to play on the first. You know, I'll tell you right now. He's a franchise quarterback.
Starting point is 00:19:55 That does give you a shot of confidence as a team, though. If your star is coming out, even though the season's not going their way, you know, that'll get a lot of guys going. But, I mean, the Patriots got a lot of juice right now. Is it no decision yet? Yeah, he's not playing. Why hurry up and throw your franchise key? Cuban and when you got Joe Flacko, who's pretty legit right now, he's been playing high level
Starting point is 00:20:19 football, but why would you just toss your star quarterback in the very first week he starts practicing? Like, get him a week of practice in and let him feel comfortable and confident and strong. Yeah, I see Hadley, Hadley Grass, Jules is a heel, gronk is a baby face. Damn straight. Hadley Glass. What is, Edelman has three thumbs. Oh, no. Is that? Oh, I guess. get it in three legs what i don't i don't get it what's three i don't know either i know three legs three legs three legs i've been using that one for a while but three thumbs i don't know i don't know what like you i don't know you what's three thumbs um let's get down on the next voicemail

Starting point is 00:29:54 you get bloated when you eat on a plane like you're up in the air you're pressurized in the cabin so when you eat like I eat a whole time I know it's so hard not to eat especially if you're flying first class it's another tip fly first class you get more room and you're comfortable and when you're flying first class they bring the
Starting point is 00:30:09 tray out the stewardess like meals and everything and it's like I don't want to eat but like the food's so good now so like all the nuts that they give you the chips it's like oh but put it this way a bag of chips before you get on the plane the bag of chips is like you can like feel the chips in the back you bring the bag of chips on the plane you're up in the air the bag of chips expands it's like it's ready to explode and pop well that's what you get like when you eat on the plane but it's just so hard not to eat so don't eat if you can control yourself and and last tip oh Oh, so they say your second heart is your calves And they say wear compression socks on the plane
Starting point is 00:30:48 Because you don't get the pump So get the pump in your blood flow from being pressurized Pump your calves every 30 minutes ankle pumps every 30 minutes I've never done this by just read it You say your calf's your second heart? Yeah Where'd you get that one from?

Starting point is 00:31:15 do 30 pumps okay next question this was fun I got YouTube comment I got Viz Rust in Drake May's last press conference he was asked when did he know
Starting point is 00:31:25 he can trust Stefan Diggs and he said during middle school did you guys have a players you looked up to as kids then you got to play with yeah Tom Brady
Starting point is 00:31:35 Tom Brady Randy Randy Moss Wes Welker Junior Say out I mean when you got
Starting point is 00:31:45 when we got drafted to the Patriots you know they were already a dynasty for 10 years at that point and every guy
Starting point is 00:31:53 on the team still Kevin Falk Teddy Bruskey like all those guys but Tom mostly because he was a Bay Area guy and I can
Starting point is 00:32:02 you know he went to some school that was a rival school and I just remember like being on the asphalt at like eighth grade saying i'm tom brady yes and and and this is a great question because when i was at the university of arizona my sophomore year i had like a big game scored a couple touchdown so then i got interviewed by um i think her name was karen balman i'm pretty
Starting point is 00:32:28 sure she was the reporter for the university of arizona for the football program on like the university of arizona's like athletic page and she asked me she's like who can you say who can you see yourself playing quarterback in the NFL and I was like Tom Brady for sure like and I'm still mad to this day because the interview was on air it was like on the internet but I can't find it anymore so like when I was in college I kind of like manifested that I was going to be playing with Tom Brady and that you know we're going to be on the same page and we could trust each other so I would say in college for myself that's crazy you know crazy that's how long Tom play and then Tom was playing with kids that weren't even born by the end
Starting point is 00:33:07 yeah like he was 21 when he was in his 24th season there's guys that weren't even born when he started playing in the NFL when he started in the NFL when he started in the NFL they weren't born yet yeah that's that's crazy that's freaking wild so another YouTube comment or questions or 1979 favorite cartoon as a kid oh Doug I love Doug on Nickelodeon I love Doug and I loved hey Arnold I was a Nickelodeon kid I was a big Nickelodeon kid too I was a cartoon network guy as well. I mean, I had so many, I mean, Rocket Power. Rocket Power, that was a Saturday cartoon.
Starting point is 00:33:44 Yeah. Wooogie, woogee, woo, woo,ie, woo, I mean, Rocket Power is so dope. Because that was kind of your life. You go to the skate park, you rollerblade and play the pickup hockey games on rollerblades. I'm in middle of the street. You go to the local ice cream shop, you know, all that good stuff. You were surfing? I wasn't surfing.
Starting point is 00:34:01 That was the only thing I wasn't doing that was on Rocket Power. But I had SpongeBob Squarepants. who lives in a pineapple under the sea Sponge Bob Square Pipp Who's a Zorping in yellow and porishes he Spunge Bob Square Pits So drop on the deck and flop like a fish Spong Bob Square Pits
Starting point is 00:34:18 Oh Spong Bob Square Pats Sponge Bob Square Pets Spong Bob Square Pats What about Scooby-Doo Boo Boo Boooooooooooooooo, where are you All right And yeah hey Arnold Doug Fonnie
Starting point is 00:34:34 I love Doug Rugrats Rugrats was awesome Lil and Phil and Lil and Lil and what was the main Ralphie was that his name Tommy Pickles
Starting point is 00:34:44 Tommy Pickles Tommy Pickles Ralphie's the name of my dog Yeah I was what I said She was a dog Brennan Stippy was like Kind of like this Like you couldn't watch
Starting point is 00:34:53 I remember when I was in like 11 years old It may have been when like South Park was starting to come out And we went to Jamboree for my baseball league And we were in
Starting point is 00:35:04 You know how they used to call the lines and they would call out every team like that one big day for the start off the season where every all the teams went you took your picture well i remember going there and the kids were talking about south park and cartman and stuff and that that thing grew man grew big time i mean that was the cartoon that was like you try to watch like when your parents went to bed well they originally that was running stumpy i don't know what that was a bad one that was yeah that was dark Dark. Never heard of.
Starting point is 00:35:36 I loved it though. The close-ups on like the body anatomy. Another question from YouTube, I'm Man, Mushari. What's a route or concept you two disagreed on early in your careers that eventually became one of your strengths? That's a great question. I mean, I would say here we go.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Here we go. Mine was the flag route. But it wasn't like we disagreed. I mean, like, are we talking disagreeing with Tom or, like, Julian and I disagreeing, like, who should be running the route? What's that? Open for interpretation. Oh, okay, open for interpretation.
Starting point is 00:36:15 I would say just, because, I mean, you and I wouldn't argue about a route. It was kind of, like, obvious, like, what type of routes I would run, what type of routes you would run. In this situation, there was a play where the third guy would run a juke route, and the second guy, say, Jordan, the third guy runs a juke route, the second guy runs the seam. Well, I wasn't a juke player. So, like, my legs are too long. I wasn't quick out of my break when, you know, within five yards. So, but I was a great seam runner. So when there was confusion, like, okay, the play was called and where we were supposed
Starting point is 00:36:46 to go and we lined up. And I would line up as a juke player and you would line up as a scene player. Like, right there, we would know to switch because it was just a little confusion in the call of the play. So we would switch because we knew that that was the best, you know, possible situation for us to have a, you know, a success. full play but there wasn't really any beef or anything i would say the only time i kind of beefed with tom was me running a flag route and he always wanted me go outside the guy outside the guy and the guy
Starting point is 00:37:16 was playing so far outside of me it was like kind of hard to get outside of like an out route yeah so like i was going inside and then he was like yelling at me going inside he's never going to throw me to ball um and then finally like he noticed that when i do go inside sometimes that back shoulder yeah i can get open still for me i would say that so the question is what you struggled with or what what's something that you didn't like early in your career that you grew the juke route i hated the juke route because it's a real big it's a trust play between the quarterback and the receiver and it took me a long time to gain tom's trust he only trusted one guy or a couple guys at that play. And the main guy
Starting point is 00:38:02 was West Welker. And was West Welker. The first one that he trusted. I could do the same thing he did, but if he didn't feel it, or I, and I was a lot, you know, he always used to tell me as a younger player, you've got to be decisive. You got to be decisive when you're doing the jukes. You can't just do this and then
Starting point is 00:38:18 this, you know, you got to be decisive. So, and that ended up becoming, you know, a strength route. So I would say the juke route. You were just telling a story about the first time you and Tom really connected on a juke route remember that where we were talking it was on monday we were talking
Starting point is 00:38:36 about was it puka fuck and like tom looked at you because you ran a different thing that you were supposed to but he knew that you ran that wasn't a juke route okay that was in miami where he gave me an out route okay he gave me an out route and i ran a slant route and he hit me and we went for like 40 or like 30 it was like one of those games i think
Starting point is 00:38:57 were you remember that game we lost in miami uh I think you got hurt. That was like right after you got hurt in, I did the grunk spike. Wait, is it when you brought it to the house? No. Right? No, it was just a, I did it on that game.
Starting point is 00:39:12 I brought one, that was a juke route to the house. But you also leveled someone that game or something. You had a crucial block. No, that was a Mike, big Mike. That was a different one. The year that in 13, right after you tore your ACO. All right. All right.
Starting point is 00:39:28 This is a while ago. We lost the game. Yes. But there was a time where, like, we didn't, like, I think Dolah was kind of banged up. And, like, he could only throw to me. And so, like, there was a couple times he went out and he gave me, like, an out route. And I was getting, like, the guy was like four, like four yards to the outside. Yeah, it would have never been possible.
Starting point is 00:39:47 And so I just popped a slant and he banged it to me a couple. You know what I mean? And that's when I knew we were on fucking same page. And also because you were so decisive with the route. Like you didn't hesitate. Like, if you were hesitating at the top shot, run the out. And, oh, no, I run the slant. well, boom, you're covered, and then he wouldn't have thrown you the ball.
Starting point is 00:40:03 But in that game, I did take that under. I took an under, and I housed it, and I did the gronk. Yeah. Remember the grunk spike? And it was to win the game as well. Or kind of, oh, we lost. It was to tie the game. I think they came back and won.
Starting point is 00:40:15 We lost that game, I think. In Miami, late in the year. Question from Kyle 5444-4. What makes Josh McDaniels a good offensive coordinator? Kyle 4-44- That's a good question because I've been advocating for Josh McDaniels, like, since last year, since there's a new coaching staff and everything to become the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots. But for me, for what my eyes saw and the experience with Josh McDaniels for so long, I would say
Starting point is 00:40:42 just the ability to know his players, what he has and how to use his players in the best situation and put them in the best situation and use their strengths and not their weaknesses so that you can have success as an offense and put you in those situations where you can make plays. Put you on the routes that he knows that you could run best. And that's what Josh McDaniel is so good at. And also teaching the game of football and teaching defenses, you know, to the offensive players so they understand what's going on and the coverages that you're going to see. Yeah, his detail and his teaching is very good. And like Rob said, his ability to taper offenses around the talent that he has. Like we had different types of teams every year according to
Starting point is 00:41:26 who was healthy, who we had that year. You know, the years from 2007 were different than the years in 2018, you know, and that's all Josh tapering the offense to what his players do the best. So, you know, I think we're seeing another example of that this year in New England. And here we go. So there's, so say Josh McDaniels has an offense and these are the plays that he's going to run. And this is what makes him so great as well because, oh, well, I can, can't run those plays because the formula of the players that I have, they don't make these plays
Starting point is 00:42:02 really work. So I got to adjust now. I got to create new plays and put my players in different situations and put them on different plays because they have different strength and weaknesses than the players I had the year before. And that's what makes them great. He knows how to adjust his plays and create new plays as well. So they're the best plays with the players that he has and uses their you know their strengths and what they're good at i like it simple life 7211 are the patriots fools gold this year well i saw cam newton said that the other day but i'm not going to say their fools gold at all this is the schedule that they got this is the schedule that was presented to them it's an NFL formula that they've been using for how many years to you know make schedules for
Starting point is 00:42:46 teams and they're doing what they got to do i mean it's remarkable the turnaround that they have had from last year being the second or third worst team in the NFL, that's why they had the third pick. They were possibly the worst team in the NFL, actually. If they lost that last game, they had the first pick. I mean, two years, was it? Last year. Yeah, it was last year. Yeah, it was last year. No, two years ago, actually.
Starting point is 00:43:07 No, it was Drake didn't play. We played in the... No, Drake played halfway through the season. I'm getting confused. We had the... We had the... It was last year. Yeah. Oh, it was last year. It went from the first to four. You're right. All right. Yeah. Yes. Yes, it was. Bill Campbell. Yes, because he was picked fourth overall.
Starting point is 00:43:26 And then they got Will Campbell third because they didn't get the first pickover. Okay, there we go. They went basically from the worst team in the league to the best. So you got to tip your hat to the Patriots for turning this program around, being on the right direction. And no, there's no fool's goal because this is what the schedule was presented. Look, I wouldn't call them Fuzgold. But do we know what they're going to do when the weather changes,
Starting point is 00:43:50 when the games get tougher, when it's do or die? No. But what they are doing right now is they're putting themselves in good position for those situations. And the more you win, I don't care. The more you win, it becomes an attitude. It becomes like guys come into work and you kind of know what you have to do
Starting point is 00:44:15 and you do it harder. So like, yeah, do we know what they're going to be? later in the season? No, but they're definitely, they're continually getting better. They're focusing on things they need to improve. Drake needs to get hit less. You know what I mean? All these, the defense defends the run game better than anyone. That travels all the time. You know, Braves got the defense role and the special teams make big plays, Marcus Jones. Like they have a lot of good things that have all come together this year. But, you know, I'm not calling
Starting point is 00:44:50 them Fuz Gold, but I don't know what they're going to be. We don't know what they're going to be, but they're putting themselves in great position. They really are. That's a great way that you just put it, Jules. And what I really like about them, too, is that they're still young. They're learning from their mistakes as well. And that's why they have eight wins in a row because the games, they should actually be undefeated, really. I mean, they lost the Raiders.
Starting point is 00:45:09 The first week. And then they lost the Steelers because they fumbled like eight times and had like 10 turnovers. So, like, they learn from, you know, those lessons and they learn from it and then they fix those problems and that's you know what you want to do as a team to put yourself in the best position you know going going on forward so and you know they're doing great there's still a lot of people in that building that have won a lot of football games including the owner including the head coach as a player as a coach including the offensive
Starting point is 00:45:38 coordinator as a like there's still a lot of winning tides there so look everyone's entitled their opinion i think i think they're they're putting themselves in a great situation yes they are the the best situation that they could possibly put themselves in one more question before we go to a break it's actually kind of a cam newton follow-up at kevin lane 1840 julian did it ever piss you off the way cam newton typed on instagram and i'm assuming in text message too you know he texts like he everything he does is in that font it didn't piss me off it made me laugh i giggle every time i would i would sit there and go camer we serious like you gotta he you'd have like he text in this crazy font yeah and it fucking it would crack me i would crack up every time i would get a text i get like a say less well you play with cam new and
Starting point is 00:46:29 did it kind of did his font kind of go with who he for sure was as a player in person 1,000 dude this guy used to so it's just natural that natural it's natural so that's him so that makes sense it makes sense it feels right bro my guy used to come to work and fit it out every day at work during covid mind you we had to go get tested itself my guy would have a fit like a cool fit every day come in like cam is cam is that he's that guy he like cam is cam baby i love cam and do you know what tv show he's on yeah first take okay there you go first take i saw the cam yeah i saw that whole thing cam cam cam crack me up on tv though he's great he has some great he does me laugh and camp oh

Starting point is 00:52:22 You seem pretty unflappable, but is there anything that really annoys Rob Grancowski? Hey, what Jim, down to ask. That's what the DT stands for. Yeah. Down to. Down to ask. Oh, man. That's a good name.
Starting point is 00:52:41 Yeah, it is. That's a great comment section name. I'll answer that. Liars. I hate getting lied to, man. Liars, man. Oh, man. It drives me crazy.
Starting point is 00:52:52 So my little brother, Glenn, he used to lie to me all the time when we were kids about, like, the dumbest things possible. So I created the game. Every time he lied, I got to call him out. And then he had a count. I got five seconds to punch them as hard as I want. Just nuts and face were off limits. But you can punch them wherever you want for five seconds. But the game, it also came back on me too.
Starting point is 00:53:17 If he caught me lying on something and you call the person out. So you would have to count up the five and how you had a count to make the seconds very fair. It was one, two, three, for five, one, two, three, for five, one, two, three, for five, one, two, three, for five, one, two, three, for five, zero. And then you, during that counting phase, you had that, those five, five, five, one, two, three, four five. those five seconds to punch the person as much as you want. That's how much I hated him lying to me. Now, what would he lie to you about? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:53:43 I'd be like, is there any skittles left in the, in the skittles bag? He'd beg, no, because he wanted him all. That's a lie. It was just all white lies. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:53:53 I beg, that's a lie. Bo, boom, start drilling him. But it was like, it was all white lies. Like, stupidity.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Just for fun. Yeah, just for fun. Also, Jules, you seem pretty unflappable. Yeah, you are unflammable something that really annoys Julian Edelman yeah uh what annoys me yeah oh not having a schedule oh jules don't like it when there's no schedule no schedule oh
Starting point is 00:54:21 no schedule i've been born into a schedule ever since i've been on the patriots i need a schedule yeah schedule we try to base everything here at the nut house like we're at the patriots you need to be on schedule. I hate when my routine gets fucked up. That annoys me. I'm not podcasting. There's no schedule. Yeah. Eating eating in certain areas with certain people.
Starting point is 00:54:49 There's no breakfast sandwiches around. That annoys you as well. Yeah. You got to always have a breakfast sandwich chilling for you. I think the comment section agrees that you are perhaps maybe a little flappable. And Tony Mitchell says that your three thumbs are what makes you annoying. I got to find out what that.
Starting point is 00:55:05 That still comes through in the clutch, baby. Oh, baby D. To me, I got baby D. Three thumbs. I was thinking, like, maybe a big nose. I was like, I have three thumbs. Like, look, I got big nose. Like, I mean, I didn't get it.
Starting point is 00:55:18 But now I get it now that you just brought that up. I got a question from Reddit, R. Jack Rock. What's the friendliest thing Bill Belichick ever did for either of you? Ooh. Friendliest. You go first, Jules. I got to think about it.
Starting point is 00:55:33 it's tough it's tough he drafted me that was the friend in this thing here there it is that's a good one he drafted me
Starting point is 00:55:46 but was it him or was it a scout Ernie or was it Ernie was Pioli? Yeah Pioli or was it Beersh Nah it wasn't Bears What's the friendliest thing
Starting point is 00:55:57 he's done to you? The friendliest thing? Okay he complimented me one time because I was going versus Chung and Chung had pretty good coverage on me and Tom threw the ball right over his head and like the
Starting point is 00:56:11 very last moment that you could possibly put your hands out and catch it. I did the late hands and he put it up in the meeting room and he said like this is a great play by Gronk right here. I mean the late hands the defender cannot defend this even if he's guarding you like
Starting point is 00:56:27 white on rice the late hands gets you open and out of face lets you get the catch you know and bring it and boom i just went like that he loved it he loved it and he complimented me like four times on it probably made your life too oh i felt so good felt so good about myself i was like i made it i made it in life um from at mendes 787 what's your favorite piece of memorabilia on the wall oh actually i just put this up on my wall and i sent it in the group chat actually of dudes on dudes and it's the it's the plaque of my very last game on the new england patriots and we won the
Starting point is 00:57:08 super bowl so in the middle is the sports illustrated cover and it's like tom fist pumping i'm in it it was the block where sony michel ran it in it was the only touchdown of the game uh and you can see like my last name on the cover sports illustrated and then in the top right hand corner is a picture of you julian and you signed the pitcher as well bottom right hand corner There's a picture of, I don't, I don't, the pitchers, I'm not exactly sure what, what corner you're in, but then there's a picture of Jason McCordy. Remember that play he had on, the block? On the past offended. Yeah, the past offended in that play.
Starting point is 00:57:45 There's a picture of me diving on the big 28-yard catch, and then there was one more picture as well. I think it was maybe. I got it right here. Who's the DB? You had McCordy, you, Jules, and Gilmore. Yeah. Gilmore pick and then Gilmore's pick up there as well and all those photos are signed and it's the coolest plaque and it's the hardest plaque of all time and I just hung it up in my office dude it's so dope did who sent that to you so the Patriots made those they made it they made it they made a couple of them actually no because it wasn't the Patriots I was I was um at a signing signing and my autograph guy had it yeah there it is right there it's so sick and my autograph guy had I said yo I need one of these myself and he's like No problem.
Starting point is 00:58:30 He gave it to me right on the spot. And I just hung it up for the first time in my office. That's badass. It's hard, man. It goes hard. Heck yes. I was going to say my favorite thing is Matthew Slater's inhaler. His inhaler.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Yeah, I got his inhaler. Oh, yeah. Look at, oh, my gosh. Look at this memorabilia wall right here. The Nut House memorabilia. Hall of fame. I stole Matthew Slater's inhaler out of his locker. Well, actually, it was in one of my bags that I got.
Starting point is 00:58:59 after a season and I just put it on the wall we just added gronk flakes too oh yeah look at this those are young grong the balance of the most tastiest memorabilia right here look at young grong
Starting point is 00:59:11 uh September 12th 2013 these expired I'm still saying I mean still good 12 years later still good frosted corn flakes oh I'm taught inspiration here was Doug flutie flakes because I grew up in Buffalo
Starting point is 00:59:24 so it's actually the same company that made these drunk flake flakees so thank you Flutie for giving me the inspiration and oh man I'm telling you best frosted flakes in the game barely any sugar on these frosted flakes so good drunk flakes even better oh fat free food so if you didn't want to get fat you ate frosted flakes fat free like like biggest misconception of all time that was like a 90s thing that was like a 90s 80s thing like fat free but have free thing have uh um
Starting point is 00:59:58 Oh, not bad. Only 13 grams of sugar in each serving. I told you, yeah, these are healthy for you. Only one gram of protein. That's weak. How many fibers? Dietary fiber, less than one gram. See, we need four.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Yeah, we do. And we need more protein in these. So if I ever made some new gronk flakes, it would be like eight grams of protein at least. You know, we'll knock down the sugar to like eight grams. You know, we've got to have some fat because energy runs off of fat. So then... Not too much saturated fat because my cholesterol is a little high right now.
Starting point is 01:00:28 Oh, it is. Oh, but zero cholesterol in here, Jules. Yeah, but it's the fats that raise the cholesterol. A mononstrated fat. Yeah. What's that one? How do you say that? Monosaturated.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Monosaturated. Cylase a genius over there. Well, let's get into the chills dude of the week. Brought to you by our favorite beer, Coors Like it. Coors Light delivered straight to your door. Visit Coorslight.com slash dudes. And always celebrate responsibly. Hey, Jules, Colos the Rockies, man.
Starting point is 01:01:00 Let's go, Bob. Cheers with me, brother. Refreshing. See, and now I can answer this question for Chil's Due to the Week because I'm feeling tipsy, so I've got a great answer coming, folks. Yeah, I just want to ask Rob what it was like rigging the bell and meeting Coach Brable for the first time. All right, this is a great question for Chiless Due to the Week,
Starting point is 01:01:26 but ringing the bell was cool. and let me tell you why it was cool. Well, first off, I never been in the lighthouse ever before in the history of my time being with the Patriot. So what was really cool about it was going so high up there that you can see all of Foxborough. You can see the whole entire stadium at a view that you could not possibly have anywhere else.
Starting point is 01:01:45 A lot of foliage? Yes, a lot of foliage. The red, like the trees were changed. Everything. You can see the city in the daytime. I heard you can see the city of Boston. I heard you can see Providence as well. So, like, that view was spectacular.
Starting point is 01:01:58 like one of a kind. And they'll look down onto a stadium that's just jam-packed and sold out, just even cooler. And then also what was really cool about it as well is that on the day before on dudes on dudes, we actually surprised a make-a-wish kid, Connor. Connor. And we surprised him that he's going to the game and he's got tickets for himself and his family. And we did an episode. Yes, so we did an episode with him.
Starting point is 01:02:21 And what was really cool about it too is that he rung the bell with me. Because I've done so many cool things, you know, in my lifetime. that like it's cool to pass it on and have someone else really enjoy the experience. Like ringing the bell, you know, it floats my boat, but it's not like doesn't float my boat. It's not like scoring a touchdown for the first time. Like, you know, I'm going to be honest. But it's definitely going to float that kid's boat. Exactly. So I'm giving Connor the opportunity to have that feeling and memory that will last him for a lifetime. And that's what was really cool about ringing the bell and being keeper of the light.
Starting point is 01:02:53 And that meeting coach Raybo, that was the very first time I met him. One time was really quick. You didn't meet him at the derby ever? No, never. That was before me. No, because you... I think you went your rookie year. You must have. No.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Oh, another time. I didn't go to the derby. Yeah. How many times did you go? I got my own horse. I got to take care of. So I couldn't make it to the derby, Jules. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:14 But, uh, yeah. That's, you just got three thumbs when you, yeah. But, uh, I met, so I met him one time at the NFL honesty. I told you. I started drinking. shit gets crazy. Thumbs start popping. Two sips.
Starting point is 01:03:29 I'm a lightweight now. You used to take me 20 of these beers. It's a lightweight. It's great. It's going to get even more crazy. I just took another sip. But met Coach Rable one time at the NFL honors real quick. Five seconds.
Starting point is 01:03:42 Don't count. It doesn't count. Doesn't count. But you finally met him, signed the one-day contract, got to go to his office and just how strong he is, man. How he presents himself. He's a bold guy, man. He got courage and, like, he got a great foundation, you know?
Starting point is 01:03:56 And that's kind of what... He still looks like he can go. He can definitely go. I mean, maybe not a full game, but he can go in there. He can, he could handle business. He wouldn't let an offense alignment drum around. How old is this braids now?
Starting point is 01:04:05 45, 46. I think 50? Is he 50 on the dot? Yeah, 50 on the dot. Is he his number? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Roncadamus right there. Granca Damas.
Starting point is 01:04:17 Yeah. He's turning 50. He wore 50. They're having an eight game when it. Wow, a lot of good stuff going on this show. Great stuff. Uh, and, um, the ninkover 52, right? 50.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Yeah, I mean, Rabel, you made the number legendary and then I went to shit. I love it. All right. And then, we're just joking, Nico. It's just a joke. Don't start crying. Oh, me talking to me again. I'm a loser.
Starting point is 01:04:46 We know you're a loser. All right. But also, Vrabel, like, we talked and I was like, dude, everyone thinks we, we, like, laps. Like, not laps like that. Like, I'm in an alcoholic. program but like lapsing meaning like we play with each other and we never played with each other and um we never were on the same team together but everyone kind of thinks we were because he was on the dynasty at the beginning and then what he said and we'll end it with this he goes hey they
Starting point is 01:05:10 wouldn't have been able to handle us two together on the same team and definitely that's it that's it red zone threats oh my god actually he would have had no touchdowns because i was back now town no no no you're not throwing to a defensive player when i'm in the red zone buddy absolutely no way did you see did you see randy moss at the game that's all Randy how was Randy let me tell you I saw Randy Moss man I saw Vince Wolfeck as well Jason McCordie was there Hoyer was there Niko was there man and catching up I haven't seen moss in a while man I talked to him for a while he's in great spirits he's in great health we had some great conversations as well man and uh Moss just brings the juice to the table as well I was so happy to see him there it was a
