Hotel, hotel.
Yes, where we go over all the rules of the NFL.

You're gonna be in the Fenway area.
A couple cool bars there right across the street.
You got the MGM, you got the pool place.
I mean, you could, you could spend a whole day there.
Eat your bar.
After the game, go to Hojoku, get a burger, be a good little creative crowd there.
It'll be a little different of a crowd than the baseball game.
Nice.
Creative crowd. But if you want the same kind of crowd at Fenway, get your ass

street? The Mexican Joint. They got a couple new ones. You go down to Southie.

The fucking...
Ride the T to Fenway is a part of the experience.
Okay.
I can see that.
Take the green line.
I've never done that.
Take the green line to Kenmore.
Not Fenway, Kenmore.
And then walk it?
And then walk it.
It's a part of the experience.
It's fun.
You get to see the Sitko sign and all that. That is fun. Get to cross 90.
Probably got to get a Fenway Frank while you're in there.
You got to get a Fenway Frank.

Yeah. I love Figs.
Figs and Beacon Hill's a great little pizza spot.
It depends if you're going with your boys or going with that.
Yeah, but if he's going with his boys, he's not gonna be taking
goddamn love walks down the Charles River
down Starow.
Okay, he's not gonna be going to Boston Garden.
This dude wants to rage.
Okay, go to Grand,
go to South, you have fun.
Next question.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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,
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
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,
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.
What a scene. What a scene. What a scene.
We'll be right back after this quick break.

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.
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.

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
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.
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.

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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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?
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
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
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.
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. That's what you're saying. Yeah, I'm gonna have to call my sources
shadowed sources in
Northeast Ohio to see how the Swents is do because I don't want to be giving them good love and their dog shit now
Right.
Okay.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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
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?
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. D. Butt? D. Butt was a baller. He's from...
He's from...
Florida. Germany?
Born in Germany.
Wow. I think I knew that too.
Grew up in Coral Springs, Florida.
He's a Navy kid.
Oh, okay.
Or not a Navy... Army brat maybe.
Army. The old Air Force person.
His dad was stationed in Frankfurt.
Big military base in Germany.

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?
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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
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,
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.
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
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.
Oh, that's the best.
Oh, you don't have to worry anything.
So you need that sleep.
Well, those were fun.
Yeah.

Remember that?
I don't think it was a bad game.
Remember that Alabama LSU 6 to 3 game?
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.
Yeah.
Worst gross games of all time.
I mean, you gotta look at the quarterbacks.
Who started the, like, you'll find some gems
with some Dan Orlowski starts.
John Skelton's in there.
Some Skelton's or.
Maybe people, and you start with Nuthouse Nation,
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.
Yeah.
Like.
It's something great for April Fools.
Oh yeah.
Worst game of all time.
April Fools is dumb.
The Woke, the, we have the Go, the GO, the greatest of all games. The the good the we have the go the go the greatest of all games

November 2014, Wake Virginia Tech,
nothing, nothing at the end of regulation,
went into double overtime.
Wake won six to three.

18 punts, five missed field goals, four turnovers,
and then it gave us a game.
What was the weather?
Is that not bad?
Beamer ball?
