Starting point is 00:08:29 Jules, who was your favorite wide receiver while in New England, you know, working together with one that maybe didn't pan out the way that they wanted to, whether it was through injury, you know, the team didn't see them fit, you know, who was that guy that stands out to you and why is it Malcolm Mitchell? It's Malcolm Mitchell. I loved Malcolm Mitchell.
Starting point is 00:08:54 He was just a great teammate. My daughter still reads his book. He's got a children's book that she just a couple of days ago. What is it? Like the kid you can, it's about you can read, or the kid making the book, he makes his own book, the magic book. The magician's hat? The magician's hat.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Yeah, we, like, he was just a cool dude, worked his ass off, he was quiet, but like, really good football player, could rely on him. He just acted the part. You know, I used to love Gunner. Little Gunner was always good. He, I mean, he's just fun to have around
Starting point is 00:09:38 because he's just a little war daddy. One of the guys that I loved that worked out, but that I loved working with, I loved working with Dion Branch. He was a great, great teammate. Like he would put his arm around me and teach me things when I was a younger receiver. Randy was also awesome like that.
Starting point is 00:10:00 But yeah, it was fun. Had a big game in the 22-3 game too. People forget that. Malcolm Mitchell, yeah. Yeah. He had a big game in the 20 to 3 game too. People forget that. Malcolm Mitchell, yeah. Yeah. There's a couple other guys. He just seemed to get it right away too as a fan. Like it's like, man, plug it right in and he gets it right away.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Yeah, just Malcolm, he had bad knees. He had. I know. It sucks for my guy because he could have had a really good career. He's doing well though. I think he's married with a child. Respect. Making more books, still dressing cool.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Honestly, I think he just listened to me. That's why. That's why I love him. That's a great characteristic, baby. It's a great, you know, I'd be sitting there and every time I look in the room, Malcolm would be like, yep. He always had my back. When I was going on a rant or something, he just, that's why I loved him.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Heck yes. Works for Jack too. That just, that's why I loved him. Heck yes. It works for Jack too. That's right. Hey, I do the same thing. Follow the Malcolm Mitchell model. Hey, Jules and the boys. This is Nick from Lexington, Massachusetts.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Go pass. We're just thinking it'd be really cool to get a game from Julian's college career at can't read, can't write, can't state. To hear his perspective playing quarterback, maybe bring in Doug Martin, your old head football coach, or bring in one of your old teammates, to really hear some of those other stories of what you used to get up to in Ohio that you're obviously willing to share. But yeah, I think that would be really cool.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Love to hear your adventures. I know you didn't win too many games at Kent State, but love to hear about your stories there. Thanks so much and keep up the pod. Love listening to it and thanks for all the good memories when the Super Bowls for the Pats. Great question. That would be fun to get Coach Martin in here
Starting point is 00:11:44 to talk about something. Definitely. I think he's at Elon. Is he really? Coach Martin's at Elon. I should know that. Hold on. Is he at Elon? Yeah. Oh yeah, he's the OC.
Starting point is 00:11:57 Yeah, Coach Martin. Wow, dude. He's over at Elon. I think his wife, Vicki, she's still selling a boatload of houses. She was like, his wife was so cool. He used to bring me into his house. They cooked Thanksgiving for me There we go when we go in North Carolina again Bro, I would also Casey wolf would be a really good we talk a lot with him Yeah, Casey's my my Kent State like connect that I still if I'm doing anything for Kent State It's through Casey wolf and he was like the football ops guy for coach Martin when coach
Starting point is 00:12:28 Martin was there he's now an AD at a cool at a big high school there but like he's for like Cribs or Harrison or any of the guys that played in that time Casey was there we all like to go through Casey whenever we're going through the university so he still has little Little juice will hit him up like we hit him up when he's funny for all the stories or my old my old roommate Anthony magazine. Oh, yes. He's a storyteller, but we might have to muffle him because he might say too many stories You know, do we do the those seven Kent State, Iowa State game? Maybe we could do that.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Upset. There's a big acro game and we beat the fuck out of Acre. Hell, yeah. That was like because that was our zips. Screw the Roo.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Screw the Roo. OK, screw the Roo, bro. I didn't know that. I like that. Does that rivalry have a name? No, but we fought for a wagon wheel. Oh, I love games that have a trophy. I only carried it once,
Starting point is 00:13:26 they got us twice. We were winning, we were beating them too my last year there in the rubber bowl. The rubber bowl? That's their stadium name because that's where all the tires in the United States were manufactured. We're in Akron, Ohio. You got year or their mission. There's some couple over there. This one's French But they might know but Michelin was started out here. I Think Michelin is it is it an American company? Very good up very French. Is it I don't have to look it up. That's why I was a good year guy anyways But they might they might manufacture a lot here a lot of those International companies manufacture here got the good years on a Mustang, that's why I took over the Michelin's.
Starting point is 00:14:06 All right, the next question is a text question, I don't know how this got through. It's not getting in there. I know we say, don't do the text, but I check the text. I delete them before he sees them. All right, I got one through on the old goalie here. This one is from the text line
Starting point is 00:14:21 about aux rules in the NFL locker room. This says, how does aux cord protocol work in NFL locker rooms? Easy, veteran. Okay. It goes in how many years you've been in that locker room. So if you're in the locker, the weight room, and you hear some music that you don't like,
Starting point is 00:14:40 say like Brandon Bolden rolled up in there, he used to just take over and he would put the aux. Brandon Bolden was always a great aux cord guy. Okay, so he like- He led it in pregame practice, because we didn't really do pregame, like locker room music. Coach always was an advocate of everyone
Starting point is 00:14:57 has different ways to prepare, so if you wanna listen to music, put your headphones on. So there was no music blasting game day, but pre-practice guys are having, you know, music's bumping, guys losing ready. It usually depended on seniority. And, but for us, it was always Brandon, Brandon Bolden. There'd always be kind of like two,
Starting point is 00:15:17 cause the locker room's kind of big. Offensive side would be B Bolden. And you go over to the other side and be defense. And like high would have something high tower or something but it was usually B Bolden nice always throwing out some bangers. Shut out BB Hulk smash. I'd be throwing up on the mic trying to get a flow in and you got Danny over there throwing it taping his own ankle because he's mad at the fucking training staff saying I'm on flow-bation because I can't flow.
Starting point is 00:15:45 What a scene. What a scene. What a scene. We'll be right back after this quick break. It's nostalgia overload as Wilmer Valderrama and Freddy Rodriguez welcome another amigo to their podcast Dos Amigos. Wilmer's friend and former That 70s Show castmate Topher Grace stops by the speakeasy for a 2 part interview to discuss his career and reminisce about old times. We were still in that place of like what will this experience become and you go you're having the best time.
Starting point is 00:16:15 But it was like such a perfect golden time listen to dose amigos on the I heart radio app Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. Wrestling fans all over the globe. It's Freddie Prince junior and on wrestling with Freddie we're breaking down radio app, Apple podcasts, she earned her stripes at WrestleMania. And I don't mean because she won, she bled for her art. And it always felt like to me after the Attitude Era, once a wrestler gets cut, and you see real blood coming out of their mouth, or real blood coming out of their head, the crowd kind of goes, Hey, respect.
Starting point is 00:17:07 And they kind of give you that nod, right? You go, wow, every one of these guys is bleeding for the road. Bro, that's literally like blood, sweat and tears. It's all they got is blood. We're talking Cody. We're talking Ria, Roman, Seth, Tiffany. The future of the business is bright. And if you watched Mania and you're still buzzing,
Starting point is 00:17:26 or if you missed it and want to know what went down, we gotcha. Listen to this episode of Wrestling with Freddie on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 1978, Roger Caron's first book was published, and he was unlike any first-time author Canada had ever seen. Roger Car he was unlike any first-time author Canada had
Starting point is 00:17:45 ever seen. Roger Caron was 16 when first convicted. He spent 24 of those years in jail. 12 years in solitary. He went from an ex-con to a literary darling almost overnight. He was instantly a celebrity. He was an adrenaline junkie, and he was the star of the show. Go-Boy is the gritty true story of how one man fought his way out of some of the darkest places imaginable.
Starting point is 00:18:12 I had a knife go in my stomach, puncture my skin, break my ribs, I had my guts all in my hands. Only to find himself back where he started. Rodger's saying this, I've never hurt anybody but myself. And I said, oh, you're so wrong. You're so wrong on that one, Roger. From Campside Media and iHeart Podcasts, listen to GO! BOY on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Camila Ramon, Peloton's first Spanish-speaking cycling and tread instructor. I'm an athlete, entrepreneur, and almost most importantly, a perreo enthusiast.
Starting point is 00:18:50 And I'm Liz Ortiz, former pro soccer player and Olympian and like Cami, a perreo enthusiast. Come on, who is it? Our podcast Hasta Abajo is where sports, music, and fitness collide, and we cover it all, de arriba hasta abajo. Sit down with real game changers in the sports world, like Miami Dolphins CMO Priscilla Shumate, who is redefining what it means to be a Latina leader. It all changed when I had this guy come to me.
Starting point is 00:19:17 He said to me, you know, you're not Latina. First of all, what does that mean? My mouth is wide open. Yeah. History makers like the Sukar family, who became the first Peruvians to win a Grammy. It was a very special moment for us. It's been 15 years for me in this career. Finally, things are starting to shift into a different level.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Listen to Hasta Bajo on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. Okay. Well, I have one question. Her name is Sam Strong. I'm a big Patriot fan of that Patriot fans. Probably Super Bowl 51-ish. I've got one question for you.
Starting point is 00:19:57 What do you think is more valuable in this draft? Getting more capital, trading back and getting front seven guys or taking taking receiver Slash be a talent and talking about dual farther those kind of guys and get in talent for next year Well, if Abdul Carter's are you're taking Abdul Carter? Be there a Past rushers and guys that protect the quarterback. This is what I'm trying to go after they got really good corners They brought in a couple linebackers and edge guys through free agency. They need offense alignment. Yes, they need offensive linemen.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Their best offensive linemen just got cut, David Andrews. The guy that has continuity, that knows how to run that offense now that Josh McDaniels is back, they're gonna have to, they gotta get some guys. That's the next progression to seeing if Drake is the guy, which last year he showed with no offensive line, he can make plays. Now we wanna tighten that all down, slow his feet down, protect him and see him really dissect a defense
Starting point is 00:21:02 and make plays that way, like on schedule. That's what we gotta see. And the only way you could do that is if you get an offensive line up there, like a protect form. Need a bed. And I think they'll do that. I don't know what they're gonna do.
Starting point is 00:21:16 I would probably, I wouldn't get, I don't... Okay, look. Harbaugh last year took fucking Joe Alt, what, number three, four, five, and I know there's no Joe Alts in there, but he wasn't a sexy pick, he wasn't a receiver, they made the fucking playoffs this year. Okay, if you got the guy,
Starting point is 00:21:41 they didn't have any really big playmakers, McConkie is a great asset to have, he's a great slot guy, but they didn't have any really big playmakers. McConkie is a great asset to have. He's a great slot guy, but they didn't have no outside guys there. But they manufactured offensive line and made that a priority. They didn't even have a really great running back. They had Dobbins and they got guys that are banged up. They did very well, but they made the playoffs. They protect the quarterback. You make playoffs.
Starting point is 00:22:06 And like hard boss said, I don't protect the quarterback. You get blown out in the Super Bowl in the playoffs. No, in the suit. Look at the will go happen to the Chiefs. No. Yeah. OK, so I don't know. You take what you want, what I just said. But I think I want linemen like hard boss said. I view offensive linemen as weapons.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Fuck. Yeah. Oh, oh. but I think I want linemen. Like Harbaugh said, I view offensive linemen as weapons. Fuck yeah. I'm with him. Oh, oh, so I have a question. You know, I'm like a fat fuck. I play offensive line. I just want some tips so I can, if I have a quarterback I don't like, but I still wanna, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:43 keep my block percentage up good. What do I do? Thank you. Mr Edelman. This guy, he's probably huge too. He's probably like the stud that like hates his quarterback. Okay, this is what you do. Okay, if he's the guy
Starting point is 00:23:08 You go take him in a private setting and yeah, yeah Hash it out If it has to get physical you gotta beat his ass you gotta beat his ass or whatever if it gets to that it gets that But you can't have that okay this yeah, and cuz if don't block, you're not getting a scholarship or wherever you're at. You gotta block. You gotta be a team guy. But just talk it out.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Try to figure him out. And like, all right, maybe he's just a slap dick. I know that this is what he's doing. And try to understand why he's a slap dick. And it'll make you better. When you were a quarterback what was your relationship with the line like? My best friends. Sandro Oyolo was my shout out Drow. Drow. He's at Woodside? Yeah. See this is like Sandro, we had Thompson, we had
Starting point is 00:24:00 Vuk. Vuk was in the O line? Yeah he was our right tackle. Hell yes. We had Sam Alapate. He was our guard. Yeah. We roll with them because Vuk was kind of a skinny fat, he was a fat kid in college. Now he's like handsome and well he's still kind of pudgy. He's got dad bod but like he then he grew up like he grew you know. Right. He was always a big guy so I like if you're 200 pounds in high school, you're a lineman 200 he was probably 215. Yeah, I mean we were good dro was dro was big It was fun. Yeah, I we we had a great relationship. I always got along I loved the offensive lineman. I used to hang out with lineman on the Patriots. I was you say even in the NFL
Starting point is 00:24:45 Yeah, I get Logan's house For freaking Thanksgiving. They're always like the the family dudes down to earth Good down to earth great dudes my quarterbacks family would have a lineman only taco night on Wednesday nights during the season That's good. Just lay in an alley, but the quarterback can come well his house Yeah, yeah, and then the cool kids got invited slowly. It became very clicky. Anyway, go Mounties. Yeah, you got to block. Keep the percentages up and fucking there's guys you don't like. Just find a way that you can respect them. Dude, Ricky Williams played in the backfield with a guy that was stealing his girl. Think
Starting point is 00:25:23 you'll be alright. I'm looking at you Applewood. Apple wait, Applewood. Applewood. No anymore. He's always coaching Applewood. Not at Houston anymore. Not at Houston. Give me a second.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Yeah. I want to say South Alabama, but don't let, don't, um, if you get this, don't quote me, hold on, hold on. I'm Googling. Oh, I know ball baby. South Alabama. He's the head coach. Was he the head coach at Houston and he went to South Alabama? Yeah. I think they canned him when they brought in Dana. Dana Holgerson. Yeah. Dolis dude. He was at Houston for 16 to 18. Then he did the Nick Saban rehab stent. He's an analyst
Starting point is 00:26:03 at Alabama for a year. South Alabama OC, now South Alabama head coach. Also, he's got five more years before he can maybe get on. He gotta win. I have a question for Julian. During your time at KenC, were you ever a Swenson's guy? And if you were, what was your go-to order when you would stop by a Swenson's drive-in?
Starting point is 00:26:27 This guy just fucking trying to fuel my fire. He knows I'm a Swenson guy Okay, my order is Galley boy with bacon Then I get a double cheeseburger lettuce tomato pickle onion Then I get a double cheeseburger, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup like an old, like my double cheese. Those are both doubles. And then I get potato teasers, which are like these fried little things with potato, cheese and like jalapenos, like little cut up jalapenos are great with like I think their homemade
Starting point is 00:27:04 ranch. And they, I think they had shakes, they had like shakes and they had this thing like the California soda. My boy Casey always loved that shit. I just liked Coke. And maybe a fry. I don't remember their fries, so their fries must've sucked. But I've heard they've gone through some serious changes
Starting point is 00:27:22 over the years, Some serious changes. For the better or worse? The way I'm saying serious, does it sound better? On their website, they have the Pizzaroni stack. It looks good. It's a quarter pounder pepperoni, marinara sauce, and a fucking fr- Are they still on the Galley Boy? Yeah, they got the Galley Boy. Mozzarella stick patty.
Starting point is 00:27:42 Did your Galley Boys have the, uh, have an olive stuck in it? Yeah, they put, yeah, put it on the top like that the buns pretty good. It's a fucking solid burger It looks very good. It was very good. It had like a sweetness to it that the galley boy Voted yeah, they have a bunch of shit, too They have like a bunch of little knickknack stuff the menus huge. It's massive sloppy Joe's I'm looking here at the teasers a tasty potato cheese and mild jalapeno combo those those are like crack Shredded fried potatoes potato puffs Huh as opposed to teasers.

Cause I remember when we at least have this little at my DQ before they went like new DQ. Dairy Queen, I think we're all, they used to be individually owned or something until they got real franchise.
Starting point is 00:28:39 We used to have this little Asian dude. He used to wear a little chef hat. He'd be up on that flat top. He used to make the best burgers at the dairy queen. And then like they did a remake of the fucking the building. I think they may have sold it, got some new dude and the shit went to shit. In the restaurant industry, man, she can have real bad overnight like that. So Swenson's I'll be coming out there soon.
Starting point is 00:29:04 The closest ones in Cincinnati. Yeah. They had the, we went to the Cuyah Swensons, I'll be coming out there soon. The closest ones in Cincinnati. Yeah, they had that. We went to the Cuyahoga Falls one, I believe. Or was it Mansfield? Was this like a spot you guys were at like every week, every other week? Like, like, no, not a lot. It was like a quasi treat. OK, that and the red lobster.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Just because you have to drive a little bit. Stowe, Ohio. Yeah, Stowe. Yeah. Red lobster was a treat, too. First time I ever had red lobster. Just because you have to drive a little bit. Stowe, Ohio? Yeah, Stowe. Yeah. Red lobster was a treat too. The first time I ever had red lobster, those Charlie's butter biscuits. Oh. I don't really like lobster,
Starting point is 00:29:33 but I liked going to red lobster. Shout out Blake Griffin. He's doing their ads now. He is. Good for him. I saw him on a recent podcast. He was so funny. Blake was talking about, what is it?
Starting point is 00:29:46 Coding or something. Oh, like lean? When he changes from being black to... Oh, code switching. I thought you said codeine. That was Sam's. That was We Might Be Drunk. I saw him. It was on Sam Morales. He's talking about code switching.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Oh yeah, because he had done Mello's podcast earlier in the day. He's funny. He's a comic He is yeah, he did stand up some chops lose right up the street. Don't even don't even know him really Come on you Blake come through. Come know you're like funny, dude And you're cool. I saw you Stavros's stand-up Leaving in a sick car with the hot babe. Oh, man must be nice. I probably drove the same route On the way home should have followed him
Starting point is 00:30:29 I'm following you Blake Hi, Julian hi Jack hi Kyler I just listened to the O'Shea episode and now I'm like back in my WWE Scene in phase and I had a question. So Julian, like back in the day when like the WWE, like the superstars, they were known by like their theme songs, like everyone would get hype, but theme songs. So I was wondering what would your theme song be? And what would your signature move be?
Starting point is 00:31:02 Ooh, I love the Stone Cold. The Stone Cold. Nothing will ever be turned. Nothing tops that. And Hulk Hogan's is pretty good. I am a real American. What was the Rocks? The Rocks was...
Starting point is 00:31:22 Big Show's is good. Hey, it's the big show. Shawn Michaels, of course. And he sang his own song. Yeah. I mean, it doesn't get much better than that either. Yeah. SETTY BOY.
Starting point is 00:31:32 I'm not your boy tour. SETTY BOY. Really good. I would go with something like Stone Cold. I just like the shattering something. Because that was so like, when you hear the song come on, you're like, oh, the song. But when you heard the shatter, it was like, oh my god.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Yes. Was that a popular song or was that a song that he just like made? Probably made, I don't even know the song. It was just like dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, It really wakes you up. I love that.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Power, my finishing move. Flying squirrel. It'd have to do something off top rope, flying squirrel shit. Or like nutcracker. I like that. I would go off the top. I'd get on top rope. He'd be all jacked up.
Starting point is 00:32:22 And I'd go off and swing, grab him with my legs and throw him down like I because I learned that move in Mexico I like that on the top rope it'd be a little more aggressive so I do that which I could probably do right now oh easy on Jack let's go let's go baby I'll sell it Probably that that's good question. That was really good. I like that check. I feel like you you would be Paul Bearer to Julian's Oh, yeah, I would like to be like yes like you're your corner hype guy. You're Paul Bearer. You're miss Elizabeth kind of yeah Gotta be Paul Bearer. Yeah, honestly Gotta be Paul Bearer. Yeah, honestly.
Starting point is 00:33:04 My undertaker. I kinda like how the Rizzler is with Big Boom AJ. If we're talking AEW references. There's not a lot of things that baseball has that's cooler than the other sports, but music is cool. It is cool. So anytime I would catch a third down
Starting point is 00:33:20 I had a song that they would play. I used to like the Fume. I can't stop stop. Wait you Influence that yeah, that was my how'd you tell us how that happened? I they came I they came up to me and they asked me what do you want your theme song and I wanted the there was Crazy time, but it was the Kanye Jay-z remake of I can't stop. Oh, yeah, I liked that that one does go hard like and there's a part where I Can't Stop. Oh yeah. I liked that. That one does go hard.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Like there's a part where I can't stop. Like you can't stop getting them. Then they would play it on when you had a third. They would play it after I got a third down or a touchdown or a big play. I didn't even know. I didn't even realize that was influenced. Yeah. It's probably more now.
Starting point is 00:34:02 It happened like my last like maybe four years. You got to be a guy. Did anyone else have music like that? You know? Yeah Tom had boom public service announcement Okay, and then anytime we would be on pregame there would be the the it'd be the Regular music from the stadium. And then when Tom would get ready, it would just stop and it would be a public service announcement by Jay Z. And it'd be like boom. And then he'd run out and that's when he'd go do his little thing.
Starting point is 00:34:37 And that's when you knew it was getting time. It was getting time. Better strapping up the fucking chin strap. It's game time, Tom's out. Tom's out, we out. Boom, boom, boom. So it makes even more sense that the Jay-Z played at his retirement.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Allow me to reintroduce myself. The whole crowd would start going, ah. And he'd go out there, he'd be like, come on guys, come on, let's go. I love CheetahG let's go. Did Gronk have a song? I don't think. Hello, MFO.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Yeah. I don't know. We got to ask him on Dudes on Dudes. I had no idea about this. That's so cool. Yeah. We had a couple of them. I should have went with, I was going to go with E40, Sprinkle Me.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Oh. The yay area reference. The little yay area. That was Kurt's coming out song as a pitcher when he was at Berkeley, I think. Or one of our friends. Glad you said it as a pitcher. I don't know if it was Kurt or someone else.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Woo! I love that. I'm glad you said it as a pitcher. Guys, one game that you absolutely have to cover is the 2013 Boston Bruins versus Toronto Maple Leafs game seven of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Bergey scored two goals to win the game. We came back from down four one with three minutes left. Iconic hit up Patrice Bergeron and get him on there. Love to get Patrice on here. We're working on it.
Starting point is 00:36:05 We'd love to get Patrice on here. Bergie. This is a top five requested game? I was at that game. Were you really? I think so. I feel like you'd know. I went to all the game sevens of five of them.
Starting point is 00:36:17 So no, I wouldn't. Literally been to game six of all the World Series that I was there. I've been to every game. So I think I was, I've been to so many Bruins like games. I dropped, I may have dropped the, did the flag thing for this. Cause I went on a stretcher,
Starting point is 00:36:33 I went to all the important games cause I was undefeated until the last time I did it. Which it wasn't solo, I had someone with me. So my streak is still there. I think I was at that game. I got to look at my phone. 2013. This would have been spring of 2013.
Starting point is 00:36:52 You hadn't had your big year yet. Yeah, but I still had enough merit and I was still going to everything. Yeah. I was going to things when I was a rookie. I went to the Celtics Lakers finals. As a rookie in court side. I was there for that one. Saw Kobe. That's the year we lost though.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Yeah. Cause they won it the year before, remember? Oh nine. Yeah. Oh eight. They won in oh eight. So this was oh, was it 10? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:19 This was oh nine. But it took place in 10 spring. Yes. So it was like our spring practice. And I remember I got invited. I wore like a little Jason Mraz hat. It was a ukulele playing. Like a Jason Mraz hat.
Starting point is 00:37:36 My first fucking like, man, go to Boston. Julian, have you ever sat down and came up with the legion of Edelboom, the biggest hits you've thrown in your lovely career? Love to see it. Lars McDonald calling from beautiful Nova Scotia, Canada. Just watched the podcast of Businessnet. Awesome. Glad to hear you are half Cajun, maybe even 51 percent.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Go Patriots. How can it be 51 percent? Not a math guy. Not a math guy. It's too many percentages. Not a Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia. I've heard it. I mean, that's where all the salmon, the good salmon's from.
Starting point is 00:38:19 Cole Harbor, Sidney Crosby, Nathan McKinnon. How many hits I threw? He wants he wants your biggest hits that you threw. I lit someone up in Buffalo my rookie year. Big hit for Randy Moss. I blocked for Randy Moss. And then Slate like three plays later lit someone up I think.
Starting point is 00:38:41 We were blocking hard. But that was before the rules were. You could go back to your own sideline Like you used to not be able to go back to your own end zone. Oh, so you could deplete people. Yeah Oh, yeah, they took that rule. I'm like I'd decleated this guy and didn't get a flag I was tight when you can do that. I know my favorite one you ever laid Down in Miami for Malcolm Floyd or Michael Floyd. Oh, yeah, remember that one? I didn't, Floyd laid out for me. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it was reversed, sorry.
Starting point is 00:39:07 I hit a guy for Gronk on that one play, but I didn't really, it was Mike Adams. I didn't jack him up, jack him up. There was a stretch when you were popping guys after a fair catch call or after you were waving it off and you'd pop a guy? Yeah, because they would get mad. So there's a rule.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Yeah, because they would get mad. So there's a rule. If you fair catch when you're a punt returner, you're not allowed to block a guy. But if you give a Peter call, you can block a guy. So what I would do is I would give a Peter call, and they would think it's a fair catch call, and I would block them. Because when you you do that if it was close enough to The end zone you're banking on it to bounce in there so they don't pin you
Starting point is 00:39:52 Yeah, so this is something you're taught and a lot of the Buffalo people always thought I was trying to fucking tee off on a Guy well a I was yes trying to tee off on a guy But B I was trying to make it so we didn't start on our fucking fur one yard line Yeah, you know I mean, so there's a there's a lot of strategic behind that. There may have been one time where I did this and I thought I petered but I didn't I smoked some one but you got fine for a $26,000 $739 for an unnecessary roughness penalty bullshit. I'm watching the clip here is after you had like type Peter or did I? Fair catch. Oh and he got me the head
Starting point is 00:40:30 Can't tell me see here is there any signal it starts to late starts too late I think but you definitely go a helmet the helmet that just comes out of your paycheck We get like right a check. No, it was any payroll deduct. That's less cool That's less cool. Sick. Yeah, I'll give him a kiss. I let with my shoulder our helmets hit. That's fucking bullshit on the NFL for finding me for that shit. Big time. Because that motherfucker would do the same exact thing to me.
Starting point is 00:41:01 If I had that thing in my hands. That's how I thought about it. It's a it's a it's a brutal game It's a brutal. It's like you have to put your mind in different places to play that game Because there's fucking guys out. I mean it's it's gotten a lot better and that's not even that bad. That's fucking stupid You're face-to-face $26,000 to find on that. Yeah, that's a I like the league though, but it's still stupid Let's go What's up tools Zach from Sharon laughs here, and I got a couple questions for you first one's trivia So I know you're West Coast guy
Starting point is 00:41:37 Number one who's your favorite team growing up watching basketball? Who's your favorite player? That's one question. The trivia question is, you're not from Mass, but who is the only school from Massachusetts to ever win a national championship, and who is the best player? And then last question, I know I said two, this is three questions.
Starting point is 00:42:01 If you were to pick one of your teammates in their prime to lead a school on a march-dine Let's run who would it be and why thank you first question Favorite team Warriors growing up about college any college groups grown up. I went to maybe a Stanford game Oh, like didn't watch we didn't watch a lot of basketball I feel that and you were a And you were like a pro family. But it's a pro area. The Warriors were horrible when I was a kid.
Starting point is 00:42:31 When I was a kid, they were like a laughing stock. Like that's when Spreeroll was choking out the coach. Like they were trash. I liked them when they, I liked Baron Davis when he beat Dirk Nowinski as like the, the, the seven seed, the one seed. The We Believe Warriors. Yep. The We Believe.
Starting point is 00:42:49 That was like. Watch that episode. At the height, watch that episode of when I started like, and then I left and I went to Boston. So then I kind of, A didn't see the games because they, they were went on at like 11 o'clock at night or 10 o'clock at night and B, you know,
Starting point is 00:43:06 I was introduced to the Celtics and became friendly with a lot of people in the organizations of the teams in Boston. So then I started watching them naturally. What's the, so Spreewell, Baron Davis probably were my favorite. I mean, we all loved, I loved Michael Jordan. Like that was the only basketball player. Like he was God. Spreewell, Baron Davis probably were my favorite. I mean, we all loved, I loved Michael Jordan.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Like that was the only basketball player. Like he was God. Yeah. Everyone loved Michael Jordan as a kid. And I had his, all his shoes. Like Jordan was everyone's favorite basketball player, so. And then National Championship in Massachusetts, who? Oh, he's trying to trick us here.
Starting point is 00:43:46 We know this. Is that Providence? No. Holy cross. That's where we're going. 1947 best player, Bob Cousy. He's trying to test our ball knowledge. Bob Cousy.
Starting point is 00:43:56 I even knew that. Cous. Before me and Jack review. McAfee hates on Cousy. Why? He just thinks that the basketball then was like so. I hate that argument. But that's what it was the best that it was.
Starting point is 00:44:09 What's Bill Russell supposed to do? Develop a time machine and like just so he can shut up? I've been watching a lot of that Boston Celtics thing. Celtic City, I still got to start it. Cousy lived the life. Russell didn't live the life. It was tough, I know. Like back then.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Yeah, it was an awesome being black and white in the 60s. They were gonna lose when Koozie retired and they won like six more with Russ. Keep it rolling. Goose. I got a signed jersey from Bill Russell. We did an autograph signing together, my rookie year. Where is it?
Starting point is 00:44:37 Somewhere here. Wow. I need to find it. That's all time. That's awesome. Right into the work. It's somewhere in this ethos. What a legend.
Starting point is 00:44:46 In the hemisphere someplace. But Holy Cross, Crusaders. Crusaders. Shout out Koozie. And then Aaron Hernandez. 100%. He was the best basketball player I ever played with. Whoop.
Starting point is 00:45:00 That guy whoop. He got recruited to UConn. When UConn was UConn. That's wild. Juggler was smooth lit. Hey, Darius Butler was really good at basketball too. Hey, but D. Butt used to... Didn't he also go to UConn? Yeah, D. Butt. He's a proud of UConn too. UConn too. For football. Yeah, he did. I forgot. But D. Butt, we go play in these charity games and D. Butt could like do 360 windmills. He's my height. We're like the same height and he had the boings.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Like he was doing, hum, like he could just float in the, it was impressive. I don't remember him shooting great. I just remember him jump, jumping out of the roof. But like he also had basketball. He could play. He knew basketball. You know, it wasn't like a guy that just could jump.
Starting point is 00:45:41 But Hernandez, like he had crossovers he had game he had like mid-range and shit he would bring that out on the court brother way he like ran routes look like they cross you over on his top of his route I wonder if there's any like intramural or like behind the scenes like pick up basketball games at like Yukon like the football guys going oh I'm sure there is I think there is cuz you D but scored over a thousand points in high school.

Starting point is 00:48:24 12 years in jail. 12 years in solitary. He went from an ex-con to a literary darling almost overnight. He was instantly a celebrity. He was an adrenaline junkie, and he was the star of the show. Go-Boy is the gritty true story of how one man fought his way out of some of the darkest places imaginable.

Come on, who is it? Our podcast, Hasta Abajo, is where sports, music and fitness collide. And we cover it all, de arriba hasta abajo.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Sit down with real game changers in the sports world, like Miami Dolphins CMO Priscilla Shoemate, who is redefining what it means to be a Latina leader. It all changed when I had this guy come to me. He said to me, you know, you're not Latina. First of all, what is that move? I'm out this wide open. Yeah. History makers like the Sucar family who became the first Peruvians to win a Grammy. It was a very special moment for us. It's been 15 years for me in this career. Finally things are starting to shift into a different level.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Listen to Hasta Waho on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. Hey Julian. Tyler. Jack. How are you? Could you tell us what it's like on an NFL road trip? I know. No basketball, baseball, hockey, a lot of games to be played, NFL, not so much. You guys go home, stay out there. And what's your favorite memory from a road trip?
Starting point is 00:50:40 So in the NFL. Our away trips are business trips. It's not like NBA, baseball, hockey, where these guys have three, four games in the night. Once we get there a day before, unless it's a West Coast trip, we'll get there on a Friday. We'll leave right after practice.
Starting point is 00:51:00 We have curfew the night before the game. Yeah, night before game, always curfew. If we play a home game, we stay at hotels so they can check those curfews. And it's also because we have night meetings. So like when we travel, usually Sunday, we'll have a walkthrough at the stadium. After the walkthrough, we pack up, we put our suits on,
Starting point is 00:51:24 we get in the buses it's like a fucking hour bus to Providence then we hop on the plane when you when you get to the plane right before you get on the you go straight to the tarmac they have tables of all the food that you get to pick so there's cheeseburgers chicken sandwiches PB&J's and there's cheeseburgers, chicken sandwiches, PB&Js, and there's like every kind of snack you can have or want. And then you go up, you walk up the stairs in the plane, you get in your seat.
Starting point is 00:51:54 We had lovely flight attendants always that were with us for the longest time. So you'd become very personal with them. So they knew what your drink order was. So I always liked my electrolytes and a cramp juice and so I get to my seat which We're hearing about how the plane was right now public all the talk we used to have you know, the two three two plane and They were like kind of older seats, but I'd have two seats and you know
Starting point is 00:52:27 that's how you do it and you go to your area they'd have your favorite stuff that you like and then there'd be an on-flight meal some kind of chicken can some kind of fish usually always and maybe a beef there's there's always a three and so you'd go through that and then on the way back you'd have like and maybe a beef. There's always a three. So you'd go through that and then on the way back you'd have homemade cookies made and stuff on the plane. The travel was awesome as far as traveling. I mean, the plane was, we used to go Delta and that was the best because you had live TV.
Starting point is 00:53:04 So as soon as you'd finish your one o'clock game in Buffalo, you're watching the 445 second half of the cool, the four of the four o'clock games. That's nice playing, you know what I mean? So you're watching and we didn't get one. They took that away. That was kind of lame, but it was pretty cool. Like everything else. I mean, it's it's it's pro sports.
Starting point is 00:53:23 So you have your own plane. And then when you get to the, you land in city, there's four buses, we all go to our bus. You have like 45 minutes to an hour of free time. And then you have like treatments. At every hotel there'll be be we take out all like the conventional area or whatever the big ballroom areas we have all that taken out so there'll be like little film rooms so you'll have film room if you
Starting point is 00:53:54 want to go watch film film there'll be a big training room so there'll be a lot of guys in there getting their bodies ready so there'll be that like a 45 minute out hour of that. And you have dinner and so then guys will start to funnel into the cafeteria. And that's where like the breaking bread and the hanging out processes. And there's usually, it'd be the same kind of food. There'd be a chicken, a steak, a pasta, brown rice, a marinara, a meat sauce, a chicken wing night before.
Starting point is 00:54:27 And there'd be like a specialty dish of where you were at. According to the city you were in. Oh, I like that. So like Denver always had really good food. Then I remember it because we stayed at a really nice hotel there too. We didn't stay in the greatest hotels. So I don't know, you know, like I hear these basketball guys, they have in their, in their contracts, they got, like I hear these basketball guys they have in their hood in their contracts
Starting point is 00:54:46 They got to have like presidential suites and they got to stay at five-star hotels We were always at a hotel right next to the airport. No distractions couldn't leave anywhere So then you get you eat and then after you eat we had 730 meetings Often of team meeting and then you had offense and, and then you'd walk through the whole game plan the night before. In a big old ballroom, you'd walk through every play, so that could be 60 to 75 plays as a team, and everyone would go over, and each coach would be looking
Starting point is 00:55:17 at their position group, the lineman would go do a couple of steps and kind of say what they had to do, and they would say, all right, we're gonna us to this. The receiver would do a couple of steps and kind of say what they had to do. And they would say, all right, we're going to us to this. The receiver would do a walk to his routes in a condensed area. But like, all right, we're running an incut. You're running the cross just to show that everyone knows what to do. So you'd walk through those. And then after that, you get treatment again.
Starting point is 00:55:40 And by that time, it's like 9.30, 9. Guys would be, everyone naturally funnels into the cafeteria because the college football is on. So guys are watching the college football, getting a late night snack before everyone goes. And then I think curfew would be at like 11. And then you wake up and it's the same kind of regiment
Starting point is 00:56:02 where you go and you go to the cafeteria and then you have a team meeting. You guys go through one last key before you leave. We already have the hay in the bank. Now we get to the stadium and then it turns into a different operation once you get to the stadium. But the travel like I was accustomed to Kent State. We're bussing the place.
Starting point is 00:56:19 So I thought it was fucking awesome. You know, I got the cheeseburger. Whatever I want, you can do bussing the Muncie. You know what I mean? It's literally, we bust a Muncie. So it's different than the other sports because they have so many games where it's part of, the road is part of their life.
Starting point is 00:56:37 We're taking our operation in Foxborough and we're literally bringing it to that one spot and we're doing everything that we do in Foxboro at that one spot. And it's a business trip. No, guys are rarely going out. I mean, if you had friends or family, you could get them a hotel room.
Starting point is 00:56:56 No one was on your floor. No one was in your hotel room. That was conduct detrimental to the team. So you would get suspended and you'd lose a game check if anyone were ever on your floor. Even just on the floor? Can't be on the floor. Well there'd be so much security you can't get anyone through there. That's true. You know so no candles, no nothing burning. That's what Will used to say. If it burns you can't have, don't come in here with,
Starting point is 00:57:25 you have incense, this, that, if it lights, you can't have it in. That's what he would say. I brought my diptychs. So I just work on my bays. Some of the most epic bill times are when he'd be explaining the rules and regulations of what the schedule is gonna be. Hotel, hotel. Yes rules with or like every year, every year.
Starting point is 00:57:52 The same day, like right when you get in, right after the conditioning test, you had like an hour and a half meeting where we go over all like the rules of the NFL. Like we go over the finding for, you know, players weight, the this, the that, how much it was if you were late to meetings, how much it was if you had, we would go over like an hour and a half of rules. And the way he would project these, he's like, like if it's a fucking weapon, you can't bring it here.
Starting point is 00:58:23 All right, light. No bows and arrows, no nothing. Like the way he would deliver it would be so funny. You know, it was funny. Or like we were traveling to Europe. Look, we're not gonna be out here fucking getting fish and chips, guys. Like this is a fucking business trip.
Starting point is 00:58:43 You see Uncle Ben on your own time. Like you know what I mean? Get some rest. I like peppering a little jab there and there. You know, it was fun. I can just picture Bill being like, I don't care how good that little thing up Pringles looks at midnight.
Starting point is 00:58:58 Don't touch the mini bar. Oh you can have that. You can do a mini bar? Oh yes. There was no alcohol in mini bars but. Oh true. You could order, in mini bars, but oh true There you could order you could order whatever you like you could order food. No is that on the team or is that on you? That's on you you got I Think we when I first started going we would get a per diem. Oh
Starting point is 00:59:18 Yeah, no, this is good for the travel we would get per diem you get a you get an envelope bears would sit and hand It out to every, you know, all the guys, and it started out like 36 bucks. We get 36 bucks for meals, because they said that, you know, they had all the meals at all times at the hotel for us, so it was like, some teams would be getting like 200, 300 bucks, on the guy, which I don't know, but.
Starting point is 00:59:45 And then it got to like 60, but as soon as we get that money, it'd be cash. Everyone would put their initials on it, and one of the flight attendants would come and get a bag, and everyone would put their initial on their dollar, and she'd go and she'd pick two out. The first one would get the money back, and the second one would take the whole bag. Yo, a lottery, a plane lottery. It'd be like a G. Holy smokes
Starting point is 01:00:10 that rocks. You ever win? No I didn't do it. Oh you didn't do it? No. Okay. That's gas money. When I was young I was like that's fucking I'm not making hella money. Fuck these guys. You're not risking this 36 bucks. Yeah. Two questions for you. Did you ever have a roommate traveling or you only ever? No you ever have a roommate traveling or you only ever? No, I didn't. I didn't have roommates traveling, had roommate rookie or camp camp. Okay. And then which is Hoy dog, I think. Nice. Hoyer, Brian Hoyer. Shout out. I think, uh, he Orin burger and there was someone, there was a couple of times where I had maybe, but I think it was, because me and Ornberger,
Starting point is 01:00:45 didn't he say we were close too? Or he, no, he was roommates with Hoyer, and I used to go to Hoyer's room, and we would do flashcards of formations and personnel groups and concepts together. So I'd always see Ornberger, and he'd be like the center, and you know
Starting point is 01:01:09 Try make a team and then on a road trip Sunday Does the team go from hotel to stadium at the same time or is there like different groups? There's two buses So I actually a lot of sometimes guys would go early with the training. Yeah the trainers So there's an early bus that gets there like three and a half hours before, and then there's one that goes like 30 minutes after, and there's a late bus. And there'd be some guys that would go with the training staff that would go in a car or a van or something,
Starting point is 01:01:34 because they wanted to be there extra early. I just went an early bus. You did an early bus. Early bus. Did you ever bring your gaming consoles or did anyone? No, you know, no. we don't have enough time. Yeah. Busy schedule.
Starting point is 01:01:48 You know, you're pretty pooped. I can only imagine. From the travel, from that week's of prep, that week's work of prep. Hella meetings. A lot of meetings. Like you're meeting out by that time. When you get to your room, you just want to get, you just want to sleep. Some of the best napping time you everpping time you have is like the hour bus ride
Starting point is 01:02:05 from the stadium to the airport to Providence, TF Green, whatever, because you're just so wiped out from the whole week, the mental drainage you have from installing new plays to what you're going to expect from them. There's a lot of stuff going on. I remember getting in that bus. installing new plays to what you're gonna expect from them. There's a lot of stuff going on. I remember getting in that bus, you just like. Or the plane, instant out.

The games with names everyone should know, but what about the worst games of all time? You know, the games with names everyone should know but what about the worst games of all time you know the games of shame are there certain games that come to mind and you think of just what are we doing here kind of boring under gross games what are your games of shame well I'm pretty sure rich or burger he did He did had a Game tough to beat that one.

Starting point is 01:04:56 Is it a scripted? What's that? What's that script? What's another terrible game? Both ways. And any on the top of our heads? Remember that? I don't think it was a bad game. Remember that Alabama LSU 6 to 3 game?
Starting point is 01:05:11 Oh, yeah. Rematch in the national team. That wasn't a bad game. I love that was the good defensive football, but trying to think of just like there's a weight for Virginia Tech game that now gets memed out a bunch. Wait, which was like 6 to 3 or 3 to nothing. It was wake VT back in the day.

Starting point is 01:05:41 in the chat when you comment some of these games with Shane that we should maybe consider doing it. Maybe we'll get an, because we got a list of games we wanna do. Maybe we'll do some games that we don't wanna do, but should do. And we almost need to like take the scoring, our patented scoring system and like invert it.

Starting point is 01:06:13 Worst game of all time most most worst worst. No worst of all time Worst and something to think about what what what what what what? I got a good one the 2003 That's something to think about. What? What? What? What? Well, that was a chill zone. I got a good one. The 2003 NFC Championship game, 49ers Eagles when there just wasn't any quarterbacks for the 49ers. 23.
