We wrap up with some desert island talk in The Chillest Dude of the Week presented by Coors Light. Support the show: http://www.gameswithnames.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is an I Heart podcast. You got you got to think about this, OK? We're on a deserted island. Yes, like Castaway. Full Castaway vibes. Probably have tigers, some kind of predator on there. They see something big. They're going after that.

I can hide in like little nooks and and caves. You could you couldn't even get in a cave because your shoulders are f**k 39 inches wide. I'm a caveman. Camille complains 24-7 that I eat like a caveman every time I sit down for dinner. I don't use a fork, I don't use a spoon, I don't use a knife, I use my hands only. You're a caveman in how you act.

Cavemen were really like three foot two. You are like a giant. You're Andre the giant. You climb trees. I can climb trees in that situation. Can you start a fire? I can start a fire right now. I'll take two sticks and I'll be smashing those sticks together. I'll start the sh** out of a fire. I'll be rubbing those sticks together. I'll start the sh** out of a fire. Whoever starts fire first wins. Welcome to Dudes on Dudes. I'm Julian Edelman. And I'm Rob Granjkowski. And this is the show where your favorite dudes get to talk about their favorite dudes. And today we're hitting the hotline. What are we talking about today? Who's the better pickleball player between you and I, Jules? Rob could just play that

net. You are acting like an absolute maniac out there on the pickleball court. I'm a sweater. Maybe a replacement for Super Bowl rings. Yeah, the ring is the tradition. I'm a ring guy. A blinged out watch. I don't think everyone would be on the same page. And is turf better than natural grass?

We'll debate it. I always loved that Florida grass, that Bermuda. It's better for your body too. And you don't get that turf burn on some nice grass. And we wrap it up with the Chiller's Color and the Chiller's Dude of the Week, presented by Core's Life. Stick around to the end.

Let's go. by Core's Life. Stick around to the end. Let's go. Dudes on Dudes is a production of iHeartRadio. Robbie, where you at? Jules, what's up, man? I'm right here in my podcast office here in Tampa Bay, Florida.

I'm just relaxing. I enjoyed the sun earlier. What's super cool as well is that my pool is 102 degrees without me even heating it up So I was just in it getting a nice swim. It felt like bath water. It was just delicious, man So I just been enjoying my time a hundred and two literally. It's literally a hundred and two degrees I felt I'm telling you like I've been in hot tubs before and I jumped in Okay, maybe like 99 degrees because

when it's like 100 to 99 still freaking off at at least 99 I'm talking okay I have a cold tub as well and you know when you go from a cold tub into a hot tub and you get those chills because like the blood is flowing and like you can feel the tingles well I was in my cold tub and I jumped right into the pool after and I was getting all those tingles and you only get those tingles when the hot tub is at least a hundred something degrees and I was getting those tingles in the pool. So I'm talking at least 99 degrees and it felt so good because it's a saltwater pool as well. And you know, it's just healing me, you know, I like to do those tricks.

But the best part about what I've been doing, actually, I just got here the other day. I was in Buffalo, New York, where I grew up, my hometown. And I got to go and see my brothers, kids play all their sports games. And I got to see one of them play hockey, baseball, flag football as well. I got to see the other one play football, flag football and baseball. And then I got to see his daughter play a softball game. And let me tell you, it was one of the best weekends I've ever had in Buffalo.

It was just so cool to see them ball out. They were hitting doubles. They were making plays in the infield. Like I'm talking, mossing people on the football field as well. My oldest, my oldest nephew, he looked like myself as well. Going up and high pointing that football. Jay shot out to Jay's high pointing it over the DB's and bringing it down and not letting anyone grab his flag.

It kind of looked like me just barreling through all the defenders and scoring a touchdown. I was super proud of a man and you're gonna be proud of Lily obviously when she gets to that stage and she's just dominating folks out there just like my brother's kids are what do they call you? They call you uncle Rob Yeah, uncle Rob. Mm-hmm like uncle buck Uncle Rob's just just uncle Rob. I like it, man. It's got to be so fun. Sounds smooth. Yeah, I mean, a good feeling that they have a lot of what do they have? Four kids?

Three. Yeah, my brother Dan has five kids and five kids. Chris has four kids and he's in Dallas and Dallas has great facilities, great sports down there, great leagues and he just actually he just texted me in a group chat with my family that my brother Chris actually his kid just won the little league world series I guess for for the world series that it's called down there in the Texas world and his kid is six years old I mean a six or eight years old he's got too many as well so I'm not sure what won the world series but I think it was the six year old so congratulations to him. But there's one thing I want to talk about that I wish we had growing up as kids. Jules, what do you want? What do you what is it? It's in the Summer Olympics for the first time in two.

Two thousand twenty eight is flag football, man football. I'm telling you, these kids are learning the game of football at such a young age to possibly a pedigree that we have never learned the game of football at that age. The skill sets that they're learning, you know, out there just playing flag football without the physical part is just amazing for their development. So when they start in the future,

I'm telling you, you gotta be able to, you know, create space still so you can go out there and beat your defender because they're playing zone coverage. They're also playing man coverage out there on the defensive side of the ball. So you're seeing it all. And then also to be able to juke defenders

and not get your flag, you know, pulled from you. It's great development and it's so fun too. And I wish we had it. Dude, it's, it's the fastest growing girl sport in the world. I think it's, it's, it's getting huge. I, I bought a, I bought a flag football size for Lily's age and we've been throwing it around, it's been fun. for Lily's age and we've been throwing it around, it's been fun. But to what you said,

I agree, the spatial recognition you get from flag football will help a lot of these skill players when they transition into tackle football. Now, like being able to decipher if it's man or zone, that's pretty much seven on seven. That's pretty much what flag football is. All you're doing is identifying who's trying to be on you,

what zone it is and finding those little soft spots. So I think that'll help these kids transition, which we've seen receivers transition at a record rate, these last six, seven years, Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, young receivers come in right away and understand football and make huge impacts to their team. And I think that flag football and all these seven on seven camps

are a huge reason for that, you know? And the information being able to like study what pro football is now. But like going back to flag football, I'm so excited for this. Should we try to like get back in shape and play? I mean, they were working out there and it's quick, you know, you don't have that much time in between each place. You got to be in top shape and jewels.

We've been out of the game for quite some time now, man, a couple of years. So pump the brakes. I like where your head's at though, but we're going to be big fans and we're going to be obviously following flag football in the 2028 Olympics. And maybe the closest thing we can possibly do is coach. I don't know, man.

It's been, it's been like real, it's been real heady over the flag football talk with the, the flag football community, you know, being combined with some of the NFL guys because the owners passed it and then NFL guys are like automatically thinking they're getting on the team. The flag football guys like this different sport

fucked up and we're better at like, I don't know if I have time for all. There's so much conflict. I'm just chilling on this one. I'm going to watch this and just be a fan and root for America. Mm hmm. There we go. Well, we're taking it home. I'm already calling that we're going to win the gold and flag football in 2020. We don't win the fucking goal.

We got a problem. It would be a shame. It would be bad. But I just hope we don't. I hope we don't go into this because these other countries, they've been playing this shit for like 15, 16 years. Like they love this stuff because I went to Israel and I went to the craft stadium and and visited like their facility and they're in this World League. They have 11 on 11 tackle, but a lot of it is flag football. And they develop the kids in flag and bring them to tackle. But there's a World League that's been playing world flag football for a while.

And I'm just afraid if we go in there with our NFL guys, A, it's a different game. We may be way more athletic and stuff, but you know, like we can't you can't flag guard. Where are the rules of the line of scrimmage? Can you can you hold like what are the rule bases for this thing? Like, so I don't want to go in this thing like, oh, we know football. We're automatically going to win gold.

Look, this is a different game. This is a different game. You know, and these guys have been playing. I mean, this is a different game. This is a game, you know, and these guys been playing. I mean, I get athlete on athlete. We should be fucking light years ahead. But we don't know. I don't know if the rules cater to like people that aren't athletic. Mm hmm. We're still going to win the gold.

We're too good. We're too good in America. Mm hmm. What about? And I was just about to change the page. I know what you're going to talk about. Brad Marshawn. Yes, Brad Marshawn. You see him partying right now? I haven't seen him partying, but I can just imagine what he's doing. I remember when he won the Cup in 2011 in Boston and they were partying their face off up there, he were partying their face off up there.

He was partying his face off. But what I did see, Jules, is that they dented the Stanley Cup like we dented the Lombardi Trophy. I know the Panthers took a page out of our playbook. Jules, should we bill them? I mean, we should definitely have our IP lawyer contact their IP lawyer for the image that they posted, because it could be IP infringement to the original dent. Mm hmm. I don't know.

Mm hmm. So many lawyers these days. We can find something. Relations to the Florida Panthers. I was kind of cheering for the Edmonton Oilers just for one reason. I really love, you know, Connor McDavid. I love his game. I love his skill set. I love what he does out there out on the ice. If the must hurt to go back to back to the Stanley Cup

and lose both times to the same team. Oh, also shot shout out to the state of Florida. Fucking Florida, you know, and in the hockey world, the last six years in a row, there has been a Florida team representing the Stanley Cup playoffs. Obviously, 2020 21 22 was a Tampa Bay Lightning. Then 23, 24, 25 was the Florida Panthers. They each lost one time as well. But a huge shout out for them.

And it's tough. It's tough, you know, for Canada right now in the NHL world, getting back to back to the cup for the Oilers and losing both times and Canada hasn't won in quite some time, you know, the Stanley Cup. And I can tell you this though, the Florida Panthers ain't that great of a community

to celebrate with because it's not really a hockey town. It's gotta be one now though. Maybe they made themselves into a hockey town. You wouldn't like this. I mean, you think about like the LA Kings before they had the great one, they weren't like a really big hockey community in a warm area. Now, like I walk around LA and people love the Kings. This is two Stanley Cubs back to back. I mean, these people, they probably love hockey.

I mean, Florida, it's freaking crazy. It's it's an oxymoron. The warmest place is holding the cold sport title. A lot of the time. It's nuts. How is it? Do people like do people like hockey down there? They love hockey here in Tampa Bay, I can tell you that. But over there, you know, on the other side of the state, there's so much going on going on in southern Florida.

I mean, there's so much more to do. And the thing about being in Florida as well, as you go to Florida to be outside, to do activities outside, yes, they're bringing so much awareness down there, you know, the Florida Panthers, you know, to that organization and it's caught on big time, but it's not like what it would be if the Edmonton Oilers won the cup.

I'm talking everyone in that area would be at the parade. Does this have to do with taxes? Because why the hell is all the, how are all the most untraditional organizations in like one of the most like gung ho Canada, cold sports, how the fuck is the Florida teams winning? Is it because these guys wanna go down there and get no tax?

Cause you go to Canada, they're taking three quarters your money. You go to some of the states here, they're taking half. Is that the reason? That's crazy to me. Like how are the Florida teams winning in hockey? Well, that's a big topic. That's a big topic that's up for discussion actually in the NHL right now.

And I saw Biz Nasty talking about it. He kind of got shamed about it by saying that's why these Florida teams are winning. But it's the same thing in the NFL world. You can go to a, you know, a team that has 0% state tax. And I don't think that's a game changer. I think if you put a list, you know, of the pros and cons of why you're choosing a team, I just think it's a pro. But I don't think it's the necessary factor of why

these teams are good and why players would go to this organization. These organizations that's a pro quality of life is probably a huge pro. That's a pro. Quality of life is probably a huge pro. That's a pro. The wife's happy. The kids get to go to freaking day camp outside and play in the water. I mean, those are two huge pros for like these hockey guys that are like family type guys, you know, the happy wife, happy life mentality. That's what kind of guys they are.

I'm sure they they like keeping that check, too. They don't get the bigger contracts like, you know, football, basketball, baseball. They still have huge contracts, but I just don't know. It makes me scratch my head. It's like, how the hell do we not have? Canada hasn't won a goddamn cup in years, like 30, 40 years. The main factor is, though, why these teams are winning down here in Florida is because the Florida Panthers in the Tampa Bay Lightning,

they have great quality guys running the organization from the bottom. Sean Thornton down there in on the, on the other side of Florida. What would we say? That's the East coast of Florida running the Florida Panthers. I play pickleball with the GM's here in Tampa Bay, and they're on top of their game, and they're sharp. They know what they're doing. We talk ball, we talk football, we talk hockey and they and they get it, you know, and they run it and they're running the organization

the way the organization needs to be run. That's one of the main reasons why these teams are good. So it's got to be that they hired the right people. I mean, if you want to like, look, they hired the right people to bring in the right people, the right guys, the right team, the right trainers, the right everything that is, that's huge. So you got to tip your cap to both of those owners.

Are they new owners? The Tampa Bay Lightning have been has been very stable, you know, with their owners. I don't know about the Florida Panthers. I don't know where they're at. I don't know if the team was sold recently or not. You know, I just know that the Florida Panthers are just dominating, left and dominant, and that our boy authority is down there

running the organization and doing whatever he's doing to help out because he went down there when they were absolute trash and now he flipped the script and they flipped them just been dominating over the last four years GM right no other he's something I'm not even sure I know he's something he's something he's something important over there he is how about the Oklahoma City Thunder? Are they they're going to knock this down? Is it nail in the coffin? Is it over? I think it's over. I thought it was over even after the first game when the Indiana Pacers won. I mean, they're just absolutely dominating that first game. The Pacers won. They finally took the lead with 0.3 seconds left with the Hal Burton shot,

you know, with the most clutch player that I've ever seen in an NBA playoffs history, which has just been absurd. He's been like 12 or 14 or something with the final shot and hitting it. But I just knew the Oklahoma City Thunder, they're just too good. They were there well rounded overall. And I just don't see the paces winning the next two. They kind of remind me. Like this style, basketball reminds me a lot of our style football.

Why is that? Because everyone says it's not sexy, but it's effective as fuck. And they still have a, they got a superstar and they got a bunch of good players. They don't have, you know, they don't have the big five or big three, but they got a bunch of upcoming guys that they've developed over the years and drafted and They found the one guy that makes it all run who's a great quarterback Mm-hmm You know what I mean?

Like and everyone kind of bags on him for his game because he does he's not always flashy But he's got really good mid-rank like the mid you know what I mean? I know exactly what you mean They also play great defense. Great defense guys doing their job, doing what the coach, you know, has schemed up running the plays that they need to run. It does kind of remind me of us on the New England Patriots. And they're kind of like that San Antonio shit. You know what I mean?

It's like no one liked watching San Antonio win, but they were effective and efficient and knew what to do to win games. And that's what you see with OKC. I mean, they play, they're just like, everyone's good. Everyone plays hard. Fucking their leader is a great, like their leader, PSG or SGA or whatever is my guy for Montreal SGA

Like how he handles the media man. I love how he handles the media. He said he's a professional Yes, he's a pro. He knows what he's there pro. He's a pro pro Smooth he's got his swag, but he lets his play do the talk Pro smooth. He's he's got his swag, but he lets his play do the talk. He doesn't let him. You know, ignores the noise about how he plays and he'll still still get his fouls and get on that free throw like he don't care. He's on V.P. for a reason. I love how he attacks the hoop as well.

He has no fear. He just goes in. If he gets leveled, he gets leveled. And the way that he can balance like when he's off balance and to be able to get the shot off his body can be twisted and he still gets it off. That just shows how stable he is as an athlete. And he still drains these incredible shots, even when he's getting fouled or, or he has to, you know, do a maneuver. It's just incredible. He's a great player to watch, man. I'm a big fan. And I really never seen him play because he's on Oklahoma City Thunder. And now I am watching the finals and both these teams

are, I didn't watch any of these teams. You got a fan right here now. I mean, Indiana has been playing fucking good too. Like Halliburton, is he banged? He's a little banged up right now, right? You got an ankle, but like you rattled off his stat 12 for 14 and last shots are like, and his dad with the whole storyline of his dad getting in What's-his-name's-face like he's backed that shit up He talked shitty backed it up with his play, you know, they I just feel like they need another guy They need one more guy because if he doesn't score a lot see outcome

Yeah, see outcomes got to get hot with Toronto with Toronto. I like see how can get hot. You can't if if the Pacers want any chance to win the next two games. Yeah, come has to be hot for eight quarters straight. Got to. Mm hmm. You've been hooping it all lately. Getting your little shot to nodules. I haven't been man and I miss it. I love hooping. It makes me feel good.

It takes away my stress. It makes me feel jacked as well. It just brings your athleticism out. You're the way you can just run up and down the court. It just feels amazing. Like it's one of the best workouts you can do. And I miss playing. I practice a lot a couple of years ago with a guy up in Rhode Island,

you know, who's actually the assistant coach for the Providence Friars on the basketball squad there. So shout out to get right. But I haven't played lately, man. I got to get back on the court. With that being said, Jules, let's get to the voicemail. Let's get to the voicemail. Let's hit it. Let's get to the voicemail. Again, that number is five,-203-5789.

Voicemails. Hey Jules, hey Gronk, this is Renee from Augusta, Maine. As you guys know, summer is approaching. And I was just wondering, what is your guys' go-to or favorite summer movie? Mine, I would say, is Jaws. My family and I, we watch it pretty much every day, from Memorial Day to Labor Day. I know that's a lot, but we just love that movie so much.

So, what's your guys' favorite summer movie? Love the podcast, keep it up. Well, Renee, from Augusta, Maine. I don't know if you've been on the internet lately, there's been 30 30 foot great white sharks literally probably 70 miles away from you probably wouldn't want to watch the The movie that gives me PTSD about going into any big body of water But one of my favorite movie flicks for of the summer

Roberto right off the dog here easy Independence Day. Oh, independence day. Will Smith. Nah, nah, nah, nah. Fucking knocking out the do the alien. Nah, nah, nah, nah. We all came together to defeat the aliens. We all need to maybe we need to be attacked by aliens so we all can come together as a world. Hey, hey, Jules for president.

Let the aliens in. Please know, please know. Oh, I would say my favorite, my favorite summer flick. It's obvious, you know, I'm going to go with happy Gilmore. It's my favorite movie of all time. And yeah, why I'm going to pick happy Gilmore as well is because happy Gilmore too, was coming out in July. So can't wait to see it.

And I already told my boys from back home, you know, in Buffalo that I'm not watching Happy Gilmore 2 unless if I'm with nasty Nate dog and you know who nasty Nate dog got again, nasty Nate dog and I asked him why Happy Gilmore growing up religiously. So we made a promise. We watching Happy Gilmore too together when it comes out and the next time I'm in Buffalo. Let's go.

Good question. Hey, what up dudes? This is Jordan from Kansas city. Um, I wanted to know who was your guys' favorite, uh, people to party with whenever you guys were players and stuff and you guys were going out who were the best people that were at times? Well also before we get started Renee I got something for you shoot out I love doing that as well whenever I'm out on the golf course and I drain a shot shoot out. All right back to Jordan. All right, Jordan, you're from Kansas City You want to know who our favorite people to party with whenever we were players and who to go out with? Well, I'm sitting and doing this podcast with one of my favorites Jules Danny. M and Dola was great

Love going out with a lot Jones aka and black rock He just had you know smoothness in his game. Jam was just so fun. He was down just to have a good time at any time and bust a dance move out wherever we were or what about shame or flow? What about Shane Vareen, Jules? Shani, Dane Fletcher was always young.

This is like when we were young, it was those were were the Nico Cudavites just kind of slithered in the background. Oh, here's one. Tully Bannacane. Oh, Tully. He was the first one to freaking, he was the first one to ever bring me out. Splash. Shout out.

Shout out to Splash. South Station. That was my first nightclub slash bar that I've hit that when I got into the city of Boston and Jules, you were there that night. So shout out. He that's the infamous shrimp. That you stole from someone else's bladder while they walked by this lady goes like this and Rob so tall, he just goes, oh, thank you.

She didn't even notice and then delivered the shrimp to the other table and they didn't notice either I got skills like that What's the next question? I? Think the 2016 Cowboys is a top ten team of all time well 2016 Cowboys I Mean, who was their court? Who's your quarterback in 2016? We beat the brakes off them. That was the first year That was when Romo got hurt. It was their backup and then that came in this guy's smoking. Hey smoking something

What was their record that year? Top 10 they were 13 and three all time This is didn't we go into do we play them this year or was that fifth? That was 15 when tony was hurt and then they drafted Dak this that offseason Thinking Tony was gonna come back. I don't think he can make it back Best team of all time. Absolutely not a top team Top 10 not even close 10 team of all time not even close. Yeah, I agree This I mean 13 3 is a good team in the regular really good neck down

You knock down the first round probably a top five team for that year. But nah, I disagree with this guy. I disagree. Next question. Hey, dudes. Marcos from Texas. Big, big fan. I'm going to make it quick.

If you guys had to build an offense of the Patriots, class players, Ujules, grand, Tony Michelle, Randy Moss, and you had to choose a quarterback, but it can't be Brady, receiver, running back, et cetera. How would you guys go to it? Thank you. We're just picking the quarterback? Yeah, we're just picking the quarterback.

And it can't be Brady? Mm-mm-mm-mm. Cannot be Tommy. It can be any other quarterback out there. It doesn't have to be a quarterback played for the New England Patriots in the past as well. I was going to go. I was thinking already in my mind, because I think it would be super cool

to play with him. You know, I love his style. I love his game. It reminds me of myself at the quarterback position. But Josh Allen, you know, that was a no brainer for me. That was the first quarterback that popped up in my head. I would not mind. Having Josh Allen with that art, with our offense, because look, the proofs in the pudding, he loved throwing the Colby easily,

loves throwing the what's his what's our new guy. I like Shakira, he likes throwing the Shakira. He likes throwing the slots and he likes throwing a tight end. Well, he's never had a tight end like you. So I would love Josh Allen, but I. I would love. I'd love to have. Burrow. Oh, Joey B.

Someone in the pocket, you know, he can talk. Yeah, I mean, I can't argue with that choice. I think Joe Burrow. I mean, you would love to have my homes, but I don't my home. Our our offense is a little different There's a little let there's a little more drop back pass. I don't know I Mean my home's pretty good, too But I think burrow I don't want someone running as much as my homes on those third those third downs

I want them thrown because I want those third boys You got to convert third downs to get touchdowns and I like them third down. So grunk scored touchdown Burrow and allen two choices. You can't argue with i'll take either or that's a good question Hey grunk and jules. I was uh wondering have any of you guys ever shit yourself during a game? Thank you Oh shit I have oh shit. That's all I got to say. Oh, shit. Larry.

Larry is a shit on the sideline. Shot. Shout out, Paul Pierce, because I think he may have. He technically said he did not shit his pants. This is the closest I've ever came to shit in in my pants while playing in a football game. I've had to take shitting in my pants while playing in a football game. I've had to take plenty of shits before while playing the game, but that's when you go on, you know, underneath the tunnel and you go inside real quick and you hit that bathroom. That's super close. You know what I'm talking about in the tunnel? And then I pulled down

my pants really quick and just take the quickest dump and have the worst wipe ever and wash my hands real quick. I probably still have poop all over my hands and I put my hand back in the glove and I still catch the ball even with poopy hands. But that's probably the closest I ever got. What I have I have after games, I have ripped huge farts while playing, you know, in games. And then after I've got a really, really juicy. And then I hold out my trousers and I'm like, oh shit. I got some serious Serious poop stains on my trousers right now. So that's the closest buttery girl

That's the closest I've ever been the shit in my pants in the game I've never shit my pants I don't think I did but I remember a kid shit in his pants and pop Warner once You would think by the time we got to the league we knew the pre the pregame The pregame routine on not to shit your pants and dial in your I shit like clockwork the same time every day Two shits before ten o'clock and why it's really hard to shit your pants during a game It's because your nerves are flowing so hard throughout your body. And the pregame is that you basically release everything that's loose in your

body before the game starts because of the nerves. I probably take two to three extra dumps just because of the nerves. I've seen so many other players too, while I'm going, they're running to the bathroom and they just pull down their pants real quick and all just comes out. And it's just not a normal dump. It's called nerve dumps. And it just flies out of you.

And the locker room shitting is like a yawn. Or it's kind of like, you know, when women are all living in the same house, their periods, don't they sync up? They sync up. Like our shitting schedules would all shit up. So like you would go and it's crazy. 10 o'clock before a game, there's 15 stalls, 15 guys. Battle shits in the bathroom left and right,

conversations, you hear guys fucking talking to their wife, yelling at their kid from the phone. There's been like the conversations in the shit room. It's fucking disgusting. It's it's there is a door. There's a door open dump. Paul is shitty. Jules.

Those conversations are shitty. All right. Next question. This is gross. Let's let's get on to the next right. Next question. This is gross. Let's let's get on to the next question. Next question. We'll be right back after this quick break. Hey, what's the pet peeve you have with either a teammate, an opponent on the field or off the field practice or game?

What's the pet peeve you have? Pet peeve. I would say I love when my teammates, you know, blast music in the locker room. But the biggest pet peeve I have is when it's like music that doesn't relate to anyone else. There is a lot of music out there that relates to the majority of the locker room. You can you can hit 80 percent of the guys in the locker room, you know, with the tunes that you're playing.

But when someone puts on music, that's hardcore of a of a you know genre It it doesn't go well, and it doesn't flow well, and that's kind of a pet peeve for myself, but I never really say anything That's when you just put the headphones on or you just go out to practice and listen to the music out there Yeah, my biggest pet peeve pregame is when people are trying to fucking talk to me. Mm hmm. Other teams trying to come up and fucking buddy, buddy. Kiki with me now, dog, dog tech. Talk to me after the game. Talk to me after the with you saying that this just, you know, get clicked.

What about a coach coming up to you to give you a pointer that he's already given you 15 times that week when you're trying to prepare for the game, you're doing your thing and they come up to you again to give you that pointer. You just want to look at them back. I know coach. I know. See me and chatty chatty. Oh, new when he, he, he, he chat.

That was Chatty. Oh, his superpower as a coach. He knew I like to be reiterated certain coaching points, certain things throughout practice right before the game. And Chatio knew when and knew when not to, because he could read my body language on how I was going into a game. If I need a little pump, you know, hey, if he knew what to do. So I didn't really mind that I I just, or a lot of the

times like the pet peeve, you know, you know, when you're the last guy to catch the punt, like I would always catch the last punt plus to the, the plus, uh, the negative 50 punt. It was like the last punt and they would kick it into the other team side, you know, It was like the last punt and they would kick it into the other team side, you know Mm-hmm from the end zone We would do the field goal feel or punt and then you do the field goal field goal Then we end go in the locker room. Well, I'd be the last guy sometimes The my pet peeve was on our fucking punter who's trying to fucking be fucking Richard Cannon arm leg guy and show the whole stadium that he

component 80 yards and I got a fucking navigate through a goddamn DB drill by the goddamn Steelers I'm going into uncharted territory behind enemy lines getting shit talked because we're over here trying to show off our leg we can't just do a nice Aussie punt. Keep me in the middle. Like we almost got in fights. We had to dial that back. That was a huge pet peeve. Because I'm already too fired up before a game.

I don't need any more. I'm getting fired up right now, getting pregame hype. You were always fired up. And going back to that coaching point, I can tell you this, though. I never messed up that coaching point out on the field. Even though I would be aggravated that I had to hear that coaching point one more time in the locker room right before the game.

But it got you to never mess up that play. So that's a good thing right there. That's a good thing. That's a pet peeve. That's a positive pet peeve. Another pet peeve would be when we'd have a walkthrough for the walkthrough for the walkthrough. That drove me freaking crazy. We will walk through which looking back, you know, not being a player anymore.

It made us really good. We needed it. But when you have to walk through the same fucking play that you've been doing for, you know, it's for not just for us, but it was for all of us to have the confidence in everyone to see everyone do it. You know, it can get repetitive when you're doing the same. I liked it a little bit, but it was also like it take the breath out of you after doing it five times in a row.

Mm hmm. Yo, dudes, who's a better pickleball player? out of you after doing it five times in a row. Mm hmm. You know, who's a better pickleball player? Jules Robbie. Oh, I think Rob. Rob's pretty good. And he's got a pickleball coach. Like he we went to the pickleball thing. He got a coach work with me beforehand

that he's worked with. So and he's got length and Rob Rob's got. Rob could just play that net. I would just say I'm better by default just because I'm so lanky. Like it's hard to hit the ball over my head. It's hard to hit the ball, you know, to my to the left or right without me getting it. But Jules is way quicker than myself.

So we're actually a good. I'm I have to play. Here's the problem Is that we don't really truly know who's better because we barely play So like in order to truly know who's better We would both have to train for like two weeks and then have oh, you know one a one verse one battle And that would kind of determine it but when you barely play and you play sporadically once every year and

You can't really determine who's better. Cause you get into Gronk. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I'll take it. I'm better. I like that. Jules. Thank you. What we got. Bro, this is Aaron from Providence. I had a smashing good time at Gronk's typical ball for a purpose, a great purpose. Gronk of course, smashing. course smashing great to meet you Kyler I got to shake hands with Kyler oh yeah Julian you are one sweaty fella keep rocking go y'all get it in today I'm a sweater always have been why you think I

wore two pairs of gloves in the game? I sweat right through those. The reason why you're a sweaty fellow is because you're going. Well, you were acting like an absolute maniac out there on the pickleball court and warm ups all the way to the first game. You didn't stop. You were like. I want to. Get your body in, even when the ball wasn't hit to you, you were moving and running around in circles and keeping your feet chop.

Mental rep, so mental rep. What if it didn't? What if it got through you? I'm there to back you up. It's true. Like a hard 90 in baseball. OK. Like when I like when when coach Nicolopoulos used to say he was a he was my old coach in high school. I used to have to throw the wide route. It was like 1930s football.

Anytime a quarterback used to throw a wide route, he had to run to the flat just in case, just in case it was picked off. So every time I threw the ball to the flat, I'd have to chase the ball just in case it was a shitty throw and the guy undercut and picked it off so I can tackle them. So, you know, it's just all the little things. Mm-hmm details Okay, so hear me out I'm NFL owner and we just won the Super Bowl I get the team and say hey

I got an idea. How about we forego getting rings this year and instead we have giant blinged out watches How would the players feel about something like that? I'd love to know. I'm a ring guy. Yeah, the ring is the tradition. A blinged out watch. I don't think everyone would be on the same page. It's definitely a.

Yeah, no, and if they're bust, I'm going ring. It's a ring rings Yeah. No ands, ifs or buts. I'm going ring. It's a ring. Rings and things to ring. They just know what you guys know. Big fan and all the wonder. You guys think the change to have the best game day. You're so bad. I can answer this.

Julian, by far, has the best game day drip. I'm a guy that was showing up in a T-shirt, you know, Jim Shorts and Sandals. Julian came with style every single time he arrived to that stadium. Jules, can you, you know, give us more details about your drip that you had? Lye, because I got what I remember was that Blink check. Stye, because I got a. I fucking love that shit. I used to theme up my

My outfits pregame like if we were playing in Chicago or like I would wear like an al Capone style fucking suit or You know if we were in Miami, I keep it a little Miami vice. He keep a little open up Yeah, keep a tie in on it, you know go out to Cali keep it a little more chill. I'd like to dress the part cuz I was going into a mindset, you know bring in my When it was the foliage would come out and Foxborough I'd get my Harrison Ford beautiful look going like I'm just going to work I Like that stuff. It's costume.

She told you Jules got some style. He like a crocodile. What's up, Gronk and Jules? This is Bird from Kentucky. I recently called into Kentucky Sports Radio a few times to bitch and complain about Tucky not using a grass field for the football program. Recently, Coach Belichick changed North Carolina's field from turf back to grass.

And I wanted to know what your guys thoughts on the turf versus grass football field debate. Love the show and keep up the good work. Easy grass. And especially where they're at, he said Kentucky and North Carolina, those get those Bermuda grasses, which are spongy and it's like a fast grass

Those are fat when you're in the south you can get fast Grass like not when you get up in the the north you get those like Kentucky blue grasses like when you get to What is it the Steelers when they used to have it or? Packers or Chicago they have like a longer grass. But I like I always love that that Florida grass, that Bermuda, whenever you went to those southern states, they always had great grass. Fast grass, fast track, just better for your body to. Well, Bird from Kentucky, usually people don't like

when other people bitch and complain, but you have a pass on this one. This is very acceptable that you're bitching and complaining because grass absolutely dominates turf for the reasons that Julian said. But on top of it as well, when you get tackled and you land on grass, it's so much more comfort and so much more, you know, style as well and so much more comfort and so much more, you know, style as well. So much more give. And you don't get that turf burn on some nice grass, especially that Bermuda grass that Julian was talking about. So grass definitely on my ass.

Big Bermuda guy. Yeah. Plane services, Astro Turf's the worst. Regular Turf's the second worst or the new turf. Bermuda Grass is number one. Kentucky Blue is number two. Basketball court. Awful basketball court. Well, what about parking lot?

Jules? No knees. Hey, what about a dirt road? Little dirt road, Jules. Well, you mean the Raiders Stadium back when we played there in 2011 with the fucking infield there? I mean, we did that, too. Let's get into the chills due to the week brought to you by our favorite beer. Coors like it Coors Light delivered straight to your door.

Visit Coors Light dot com slash dudes and celebrate. Cheers, my boy. So responsibly, Coors Light. Cold as the Rockies. Mm-hmm. And don't you worry, everyone, we have one more call to go. The most important call of the day.

Hey, Julian and Gronk, this is Colton. I'm from mid-region New Hampshire. Had a quick question for you guys. Out of the two of you, right? If you were on an island, who would survive the longest? All right, thanks guys. Love the show. Keep it up.

Well, before we get into it, it really wouldn't be a competition who would survive the longest because Julian and I would be sitting there and teaming up with each other to help each other out so we could both survive while being on the island. And it's a hard question because Julian's super scrappy, super smart. We'll figure out ways, you know, to get through while we're on the island.

And then same with myself, when it comes down to that crunch time, I can dig really, really deep and figure out situations for myself, you know, to survive, hunt survive, hunt, get some fish, whatever it is, kill an animal. So we would help each other out and we wouldn't let each other die, I can tell you that. Brain and brawn. But if you really, really had to answer that.

In both. You really, really had to answer that. That's tough. That is tough I would I would say whoever has more meat on their bones whoever ate more Following that trip to that island before we got stuck. I would become a fat ass I would survive longer than Julian them I would put on like 30 frickin pounds so I can just you know Survive off of that extra 30 pounds and just have fuel and use all that fat to survive.

While Jules is just so jacked that he doesn't have that extra fat for energy. So I would beat his ass because of that reason. So I would fatten up and win by win by a margin. That's some smart smart thinking by me. You gotta you gotta you gotta think about this. Let's hear it. We me. You got to you got to you got to think about this. Let's hear it. We're on a deserted island cast away. Probably have tired castaway vibes, probably have tigers, full cast.

All right vibes. Probably have tigers, some kind of predator on there. They see something big. They're going after that. I can hide in like little nooks and and fucking caves and shit. You could you couldn't even get in a cave because your shoulders are fucking 39 inches wide. I'm a cave man. Camille complains 24 7 that I eat like a cook, that I eat like a cave man every time I sit down for dinner. I don't use a fork. I don't use a spoon. I don't use a knife.

I use my hands only. So I'm more prepared in those situations. Don't be saying I won't be. Yeah. I don't use a spoon. I don't use a knife. I use my hands only so I'm more prepared in those situations Don't be saying I won't be yeah, but in the cave. You're a caveman in how you act cavemen We're really like three foot two You are like a giant you're Andre the giant I mean, I don't know, man. Can you climb trees? I can climb trees in that situation. Start a fire. I can start a fire right now. Take two sticks. I can start a fire.

I'll be smashing those sticks together. I'll start the shit out of. I'll be rubbing those sticks. I'll start the shit out of a fire. Whoever starts fire first wins. I'll start that fire first. I'm a pyro. I was a pyro growing up.

I love fire. Probably know how to deal with fires. I know how to start bomb fires. Probably should not come to LA. But say we're not worried about who survives longer. We're working together as a team. Like who's the brain? I feel like that you would have the idea. I think it'd go back and forth. I agree. We both have knowledgeable shit on different stuff. And the thing is, you would come up with something and I would

Execute it, you know, but you would come up with something like and you would execute randomly that that we would that I would think Oh like oh man Yeah We should do that and then I would come up with the infrastructure on how to execute your game plan and Then you would go out and we would execute it. What would be I'm just scared of the bugs and shit, dude. And the, like, what do we, how do we know we're, you know, that's the stuff. It's not the big stuff.

It's like, we're sleeping down, you get bit by a goddamn scorpion that poisons you and you're done. So basically whoever has the better luck will survive the longest. I mean, what's out there on the island? There's so many circumstances and so much that can go into this question.

I mean, say like there's just fish all around and there's really no other wild animals that can attack us and take us down. And there's no random snakes or predators that can get us and bite us. No random spiders that can bite us and poison us that we would survive forever. We would survive until we're 100 years old. We have we would actually I'd make it a four season actually live till about 150 because we would have no poison in us. We would just have fish only we would be jacked FDA.

All right, jacked as shit we would be because we wouldn't even have any carbs. We would just have protein for every single meal. And as long as there's bananas, probably on the trees. I mean, we would survive those cars. We would find a coconut tree and shake that freaking tree until all the coconuts fall down. Electrolytes, electrolytes. There we go.

Do jewels. We should actually go to this island. We should find an island and just go there and live because we would live forever. Do we get a lighter? No, we got to make our own fire. We get no lighter. All right. And we don't we don't need clothes. Don't just underwear or something just so we don't got to look at each other.

I just put a leaf. There we go. Two leaves and fucking a string from one of the packages that we found here in the BC era. But if we were on an island, what would be like the thing you feared most? Like would it be a shark? Say everything's in play, like every animal's in play. What animal would you fear the most? Jules, a shark, a lion or some some shit that I ain't never seen. Somehow this island still has dinosaurs.

Yeah, like we're the something. I would be looking for like velociraptors or some lizard. That's fucking crazy. A snake. Mm hmm. Like. Like the real question is, would you eat me if I died of natural causes and the fish went well? You know, you're getting protein. Yeah, I sure am getting protein with that boxer body that you got. You just all muscle lean. That'd be like eating a bison. I wouldn't, you

might, you might, you might get, I want to eat you. I think I would eat. I want to eat you. If, if you were someone random that I didn't know, yes, but I know you too well. I would rather die first before I ate you to survive. It's a good man Mm-hmm Yeah, I don't think I could eat someone I actually just watched that movie Where that plane crashed? I Don't in the Swiss Mountains, I'm pretty sure and

They eventually had to eat each other to survive It was a tough movie to watch in those circumstances. It was a really good movie but it was tough to watch a Human eat another human to survive, you know about the Donner Pass, right? No, what's that? Like old Oregon Trail. There was like a family that came over like the Sierra Nevadas mountains during the winter and It started out with a bunch of people and everyone started dying because they ran out all they didn't bring enough supplies and they were Freezing they started eating each other

Mmm called the Donner Pass never heard of it What if you slipped fell and you had to like you had a huge infection growing in your arm? Could you cut off your arm? No, I would just jump in the ocean, let the salt water take care of that business. Salt water heals all salt water would get rid of that infection. I would sit there. It would burn. It will burn like a mofo, but I would sit there until that burn goes away

and that infection goes away. And then if I had to, if that didn't work, I would. Cut off my arm. But then how would you like, how would you stop the blood from, you know, the blood from, you got to try and get it with like some fucking branch, a thin brand. What I would do, I'd take, well, I saw some bad Instagram. You take branches and you can like rip off the things of the branch to make like a, and then you can braid it to make a rope. Mm hmm.

So I probably have to take it before I cut my arm off. I'd probably braid a nice rope, turn a kid it then go. Then I go find something to chew on while I fucking. Rip it off. What would we do for fun? I already know. I already know, Jules, you don't even gotta answer. We would probably find a tree branch

that's kind of similar to a baseball bat. This brings me back to when we bunted, when we dented the Lombardi Trophy, when I bunted with it. And we would have a tree branch that represents that baseball bat, and we would find a little rock, and we would play baseball

throughout the whole entire island. We would probably build our own little fence, have a couple bases out there, use the coconuts as bases, you know, and we just be throwing ball all day long where we would come back and we'd be better than Big Poppy on the Red Sox. Maybe Marco Polo in the water one day. Mm hmm. I guarantee we would there would be a it wouldn't be like a game. It would just be like, hey, I bet you I could hit that fucking.

I bet you I could hit that rock on that mountain with this rock. First one to do it has to do five push ups. All right. We sit there for four hours. It's like an 80 yard throw. No one hits it. We throw and ruin our arms. I have to cut it off because we infect them. Fun would be like swimming probably.

Leaping frogs. I think fun would be like the exploration of the island. Home run derby, catching fish, spear fishing with branches, catching fish with our hands. That would be deflating. You realize how hard it is? Waving down every airplane or helicopter that flies over that's in the sky, even though there's no chance of them seeing us. We'd be waving them down or every boat trying to yell, you know, yell to as loud as possible. Help, help make a big old S.O.S. out of rocks.

Like that would be kind of fun. You can make a game out of it. Like we're not here to, we're here to survive. It's not like, I think we'd pull the fun out of survival. See, we're already thinking. I don't know. I think that would be kind of fun. This is fun. Only thing we need is a case of Coors led on there would be all right.

We would grow our beards out. Look like real cavemen. I wonder how much weight you'd lose. You'd lose hella weight. Just from the amount of eating we're so accustomed to, you drop that like 40% and we'd probably be dropping it like 80%. You drop that 20% for a week, you'll lose five, 10 pounds.

You do that 80% for a year, Gronk would be looking like Jesus. Amen. Big ass, tall, skinny guy. Amen. Or what if you get like a toothache? I remember that in Castaway, he didn't knock his tooth out. I can tell you this, Jules,

if we got stuck on the island, it would be the best rehab session we ever had. No caffeine, no chew for you. Absolutely no alcohol at all around. Like we would come back with the cleanest, clearest minds of all time. We can make alcohol pretty easy. Probably. We would be like Tom Brady.

Oh my gosh. We probably might come out look like Tom. So that's, we should just call it the TV 12 method, the Castaway method. Should we try out for a survivor? Nah, Jimmy Johnson already beat us to it. He's a legend. Coach Jimmy's dialed when you do that survivor shit.

We did a couple of those on our, the thing that we're not supposed to talk about, but that Tom posted about. Jimmy is all in on the survivor. He is. Like the ball coach comes out. In that, we did a survivor stuff and watching him tan with the hair and no shirt

and like a bandana is just it's natural. And that was the chillest dude of the week. Thanks to our favorite beer Coors Light get Coors Light delivered straight to your door.
