I wish I had a godd*** nickel for every time I heard this kid could pass block.
I swear to God, I'd pay off my taxes.
If anyone brings up any analysis on Trayvon Hendrickson,
it's always this guy's a hell of a pass block.
I used it in like three of my bits.
They're already saying if Will Campbell doesn't really work out
and they got to move him over to guard,
they might just put Henderson at left tackle.
I mean, they should.
Hold on, how big are his arms?

Instagram and tik-tok is through the roof right cooking baby cooking like everything's hitting a million
Ebs and flows you guys better get creative with these calls. I want to see some I want to hear pretty easy
You know, all right, and again that number is
Four two four two nine one two two nine zero. All right, let's start them up. What do you got guys?
Hey, what's up, dudes? You guys see that earthquake with Metallica at Virginia Tech last night
Earthquake well, let me take this. I'm the hell key here on this team
Everyone knows entrance for Virginia Tech is enter Sandman by Metallica. Yeah, we and played there
Yeah, was it watched it and witnessed it and you were probably like a noon game, right? No, we were night game
Ken state was a Thursday night game. I think you played Thursday night in Virginia Tech. I think so
How have we never fucking talked about that?
Cuz I didn't play in the game. Ah
Okay, I hurt my shoulder the week before Frank Beamer came up to me and he says
Son, we were preparing for you all week get healthy
Frank Beamer said something like that to me. That's so cool. I went to Virginia Tech because of this entrance
I went to Kent State because
Virginia Tech was on the rock on the schedule. So people who might not know
Enter Sam and song from Metallica is the entrance for Virginia Tech.
It's the biggest entrance,
probably the most famous entrance
in college football history.
Or college football history.
It's up there.
It's a top three or four.
And Clemson, they're going down that thing
and touching something.
And Notre Dame, they're hitting the fucking fight
for the God thing.
Like, get out of here.
It's certainly more than Ken Sting.
You can't have an agricultural tech school of technology in the top five.
Virginia Polytechnical Institute and State University. Thank you very much. So they play enter Sandman. So the first time ever,
I don't know when recording this, but last night for us recording, Metallica played at Lane Stadium.
Oh my god. They met with Brent Pry, they met the coach, they got the jersey. Lars the whole crew and they jump up and down as a part of the entrance and that registered
on the Richter scale. What did it register on the Richter scale? I don't think very high.
.5? I think it was 1.0. We're talking about a 1.0 on the Richter? Less than 1.0, just
under 1.0. That used to be like a surf turn, remember? We're going to get Richter? Less than one pointer just just under one point. That used to be like a surf turn remember? We gonna get Richter today bruh? Too small to be felt
even a mile away they say but they're calling it the Metallica Quake. Wow.
It took Metallica, when did Napster come out? Oh that had been like what oh four?
So it took them about 30 years to get back with the college kids because every
single one of those guys were downloading on Napster back 30 years ago
Thanks for ruining a good thing Lars. That's how you used to get caught
College life a college Wi-Fi. Yep. That's how my boy Kurt got caught. He got into a case. He got sued like Kurt
Wow download music De La Rosa versus Ulrich
Versus Lars, dude, take that to the Supreme Court, man.
When I was at Virginia Tech, the punter
was also a heavy metal guitarist.
So the punter played the intro one time.
That's kind of tight.
Not as cool as this.
No, the punter played the intro.
Oh my god.
Yeah, what was his name?
Something Bowden?
Get out of here.
Like a long hair punter.
You know exactly the type of punter.
I'm looking at some of these Taylor Swift Richter scales.
Man.
What's she hitting?
She's hitting like...
Not one, two.
One point two.
I'm seeing like...
I'm seeing a four one?
She's not hitting a four one.
No way.
This is not right.
Four one brought the Bay Bridge down, bro.
Oh wait.
Get the fuck out of here.
You're not getting a four one on the Richter scale.
Yeah, but see that wouldn't be right. From a concert. a 4-1 on the Richter. See that wouldn't be that one. I'm a concert, bro
I'm not a Richter scale reader. I am a huge Richter scale
I thought you were Jack and Andreas. Yeah, I'm Andy Richter over here. Hold on. I'm trying to read these charts, man
I'm reading charts over here
These are ground tremors
What's the difference? I don't know. Those are barely tapping the Richter.
Those are barely tapping.
Dude, the ground trimmers were like 4.1.
I'm just telling you,
when you grow up on the San Andreas fault line,
you're pretty informed about a goddamn Richter skill.
There ain't no three coming out of a Taylor Street concert.
Yeah.
Oh.
And also it's a logarithmic,
so it's not that it's linear.
It's so like two is 10 times more than one three is ten times more than two. So it gets like I don't know me
Yeah, like a four point five brought the Bay Bridge down. It was more than it wasn't more than that
I think it was a four or five six. Maybe at the most six is like huge, but I think it was like in the five
What was the Northridge one here seven something six something? I don't know
Maybe I'm completely wrong.
Cause we get fours pretty regularly here.
You know when you're hitting six and seven you're starting to look for tsunamis.
Okay that's all I'm saying.
That's the 98 quick?
We're starting to look for fucking tsunamis. What?
Taylor had a magnitude two bro.
Huh?
Taylor had a magnitude two during Shake It Off.
5.5 miles away.
6.9 maybe.
6.9.
Way off.
Yeah.
Way off.
But still, back to your magnitude of 10 times more. Yeah, we're hitting we're not hitting too
So so Taylor Swift is 10x
Lane Stadium and Metallica. Well, that makes seems a little surprised. That makes me a little sad Jack I was supposed to like bring people out. You're sorry. Oh, you're just bringing me down anyone can do it in some Swifties
Hey, but back to November 11 2006 we fell 23 nothing in Lane Stadium 23
Yeah, was that a Thursday night game Saturday night Saturday night Saturday night Wow
Who's they had the mark six that would be Sean Glenn and playing against Marcus?
I think Sean Glenn and was quarterback at the box court, no. Because they brought in Tyron Taylor. Another dude.
Five, five.
Ryan Randall would have been, he was gone already.
Eugene Jarvis, baby, let's go.
Eugene went off, didn't he?
21 carries, 64 yards.
We couldn't get it going.
We were trying to hold, we were trying to,
because we needed one more Mac win to win the Mac East,
which hadn't been done since 72.
So we didn't play our best guys, because we were banged up from the week before, I hadn't been done since 72. So we didn't like play our best guys
cause we were banged up from the week before, I think.
Two weeks before, fuck.
Still pissed, man.
Dude, freaking Najay Pruden was leading receiver.
Najay, he was our guy.
One catch for 49 yards.
Shout out.
From New Jersey.
The pride?
The pride is from New Jersey, baby.
He'd be like, yo, yo.
He had like New York. I like that.. It was my first experience of New York slam.
Hey, where's the chopped cheese at in Ken, Ohio?
He caught a lot of balls from him.
Made me look good.
It was a night game. It was 3.30.
I could have sworn it was a night game.
No. It's 3.35 p.m.
Yeah.
On the West Coast.
No, no, no. It's in Virginia.
I know, but that's West Coast because you're in the west coast on the computer
So it's probably 630 and it's it's incept. I'm telling you the night game
Because this wake forest game afterwards Virginia take also won 20. I'm pretty sure this game was that nice
But you're in November 11th. You're after daylight savings a three o'clock game becomes a night game
Second half was in under the lights. I'm pretty sure yeah
Maybe you're wrong. The amount of hairs were splitting here is awesome. Okay, Virginia Tech
Metallica makes sense, right? Is it crazy train Ozzy Osbourne at Gillette Stadium or is it Bon Jovi?
Or is it it's crazy train is our is coming out. So Ozzy Osbourne plays
Or is it? It's crazy training as our come out.
So Ozzy Osbourne plays.
Gillette Stadium, is that going on the Richter scale?
They've had that.
I think they've done that.
You came out of the helmet.
Yeah, Ozzy.
They've done that.
But did it go on the Richter scale?
Didn't go on the Richter.
I don't think we hit the Richter.
The fucking stadium wasn't closed yet.
You see all the air, sound waves get the fuck out.
You can't even get the combustion from the bottom.
Yep.
How did they close that back here?
This is no shade at the Hokies any of the teams that cares so much about the loudness of your stadium and breaking these
Decibel records. It's some rah rah bull crap, man. You don't win rings, baby. That's what I care about
I'm pretty sure LSU does that they don't care about the decimals though
You know, look in the city all we are do the loudest guy yelling. Who cares? Fucking Kansas City gets ripping.
It gets loud.
Kansas City is loud.
Take your laser pointers and get out of here.
Is this gonna be the first ever one voicemail,
voicemail episode?
It might be, bro.
It might be.
Freakin' Metallica, you got me all riled up.
Let's go, next one, next one, next one.
What's up, boys?
Brian here from Western Math.
Just wanna ask you about the new second round draft pick
Javion Henderson you see that tape to him pass blocking
Looks like dude loves a hit you get tools you got any thoughts on how skill position guys
Blocking and what goes into that? All right. Thank you. Bye. I wish I had a goddamn nickel for every time
I heard this kid could pass block. I swear to God, I'd pay off my taxes. Jesus Christ. Everyone
talks about them. They're excited. I'm excited too. I'm excited too. But everyone, if you,
if they, if anyone brings up any analysis on, on Trayvon Hendrickson, it's always this
guy's a hell of a pass. I used it in like three of my bits.
Well, they're already saying, they're already saying if Will Campbell doesn't really work out and they got to move him over to guard,
they might just put Henderson at left tackle.
Hold on, how big are his arms?
Some arm length research.
I'm extremely, but I seriously, what's the question? Pass blocking?
I think it was, to go back inside out
How how do you decide out if you want pass blocking inside out if a guy if you're running back and
He's coming full speed to you. You're usually in the middle of the pocket try to blow him out inside out
never inside
Even if you're on the outs if you're if you you're scan blocking or you're going over to the side,
never inside, that's the easiest direction
and the closest to the quarterback.
Okay.
So if someone beats you,
let them beat them out outside so they run the hump.
Did you ever play with any like other wide receivers
or running back that really took pride in blocking?
We talk about every single guy on our team
took pride in blocking protections.
Shane Verene, James White, freaking Kevin
Falk early in my career. Who was Deon Lewis? I mean, everyone, if you didn't block and
you were that kind of running back, you weren't playing. You know? And so if you're a third
down running back and you don't block
Then it's half the day. They know the protection
Yeah If you're if you can get in then you can you can
Stairstep a guy's feet like he's blocking you and then he makes you more dangerous in the pass game to get that release out of there
I like that. I'm excited though. I'm I was busting balls, but I'm really excited because I think he can ultimately be a huge
Support for Drake Mays development, you know
You get all this stuff going downfield and everyone wants to get all you know puckered up about going downfield
Well, everyone's downfield. It's one-on-one with the running back
And if you got a guy that can win on the route that that that turns into 20 yards
That's James White. You catch White. He catch a six yard pass.
You only gotta make one miss
and you're not hitting anyone until 20 yards.
Second level, baby.
Shane Vareen.
Dude, Mickey D's better be lifting his chops.
He's gonna be doing some good stuff with Trevion.
Let's go.
I think it's fast, too.
Let's go.
I love it.
One more thing on blocking.
Is your wide receiver coach
teaching you blocking techniques for wide receiver or does SCAR ever come through
and give some like blocking tips?
It's different.
Wide receiver, that was Chadio, Chad O'Shea.
Just all the whole position of wide receiver,
blocking the whole thing.
Wide receiver and blocking is basically like basketball.
You gotta play basketball with a guy.
You gotta move your feet so you don't get holding calls.
You don't block a guy with your hands,
you block him with your feet. It's kinda getting in the way. You don't block a guy with your hands, you block him with your feet.
It's kinda getting in the way.
You get inside, if you can get inside, you can get inside,
but there's hand battles to try to get inside,
because they're trying to get inside of you,
because if they get into you,
then they can two gap you and hold you
and throw you and shed you.
So like half of it, half the battle is
the battle for the hand placement.
While you're moving your feet,
it's like fucking the Samba or something.
The hand fighting, baby.
That's why Dullough was so good at it.
He got the moves.
Dancing with the stars.
And you don't wear those red gloves
so they'll see you holding.
Yeah, Bill just, yeah.
He used to always, I remember Arizona, I wore him.
He got red gloves, I mean, see it from a mile away.
The red, coach.
Ernie saw it from the box.
The one red team he says that against.
They were wearing white, though. Oh, fuck, sorry.
So I had red gloves on the white classic bill.
Classic bill next.
Hey, Julian, my name is Danny from Mississippi.
I'm just wondering who had the spankiest parts in the locker room to me
I always thought it would be Vince will this can't be a real man must have dropped some
Danny
From Mississippi
We got listeners everywhere deep south. He's a new he's no cap. He's a Pats fan from Will Campbell
Oh, that's a new Pats fan.
I like it, the SEC crossover, baby.
It just means more.
Who's got the stinkiest farts, the stankiest?
Stank, stank.
It was like Mikey Wright early in my career,
cause he had to eat like,
he had to eat so much protein to keep his weight.
So you get a lot of these protein farts
from like the undersized linemen
that are like eating 30 eggs in the morning to try to keep their weight. They're slamming protein shakes
every fucking 30 minutes especially during camp so you know you get into an offensive
eating after camp bro you just pray it's not white bean chicken chili night Those big boys will rip it up those big boys rip it up. Oh my god. Oh my god early early my career
I'd like squeeze a fart out like so like no one would hear I didn't want to disrupt
Why like year eight I'm ripping them out as loud as I can trying to disrupt Josh like we now fart the fucking be
I tried to disrupt Josh like we now fart the fucking meeting
That's a sign of like like stability being with the fart
Healthy relationship if you can fart in front of your chick, she just can't do it in front of you I guess it's that's what I read. Yep. Those are the rules. I don't make them
Tyler love the podcast listen to it every single week.
As a Detroit sports fan, I have three games that you guys should definitely consider doing.
One is Armando Galarraga's 28 out perfect game.
I remember that.
I'll call it first date.
Take the big cat.
It's probably the most memorable non-perfect game ever.
Two would be Fight Night at the Joe with Darren McCarty against the Colorado Avalanche a lot led up to that and
For a game working on three as a diehard Lions fan would be the divisional round game against the Rams two years ago
First playoff win and God knows how long really the start of the Lions regime and hopefully many Super Bowls to come. Thanks a lot boys. Take care. Great
question. What year was the Galaragas? Was that like... I want to say 98. Let me look
at that. I remember that. I remember watching that on ESPN or like any
sports center. Anytime McCaller references the Big Cat, I love him. Is that
what his name? Mm-hmm. The Big cat great nickname. Wait, I'm seeing 2010
Is this yeah, I remember it being sooner than that. Yeah the Galarraga game. Sorry, man. I'm tripping. Yeah
Ten years almost perfect game in the game. We definitely need to get some Detroit shit on anymore baseball
Have we had we've had one baseball player and we more baseball players. They poppy poppy. Yeah, Hunter Pence
We've had we're trying, I mean, we're baseball players. We've had Poppy. Poppy, Hunter Pence. Oh, yes, too, yeah, Hunter Pence. We've had.
We're trying on Pedro.
Oh, I want Pedro.
I want Pedro bad.
He doesn't have Instagram.
I've been watching all,
you know, sorry to cut off Detroit sports,
but Pedro and those clips of him, like,
throwing at people, that's my fucking thing.
That's my thing.
You don't fuck with my thing.
Like I love...
Is that you're doing Scarface?
It's kind of Scarface.
You don't fuck with my thing.
Cuba and Dominican Republic aren't far away.
You might have to go 99 All-Star Game with Pedro.
Oh man, struck out the first five?
I want to do the home run derby from 1999.
When he fucking pushed his ass.
The whole fucking gorilla human thing is so whatever.
Did you see that thing I said?
I said the Pedro.
Hold on, by the way, just like credit where credit's due,
Jack sent that like maybe 15 memes earlier.
OK.
Yeah.
Didn't.
This is a retweet on the.
This is another bag of worms there.
A repost.
It's a classic.
Jules does do that.
There is a classic.
What do we think on the group chat etiquette of like you send a meme?
It doesn't get a response then like three or four days later. The meme gets sent back from someone else. It's a classic
Yeah, I'll go radio silent on that thing and then just fire off like yeah 14 like empty the clip, baby
But back to the meme was what was his name again? Don Zimmer. Don Zimmer would pay would 100
That's the best iteration i've seen yet
Just bushing left and right
Just grabbing him by his bald head yankees yankees people are gonna call into this like fuck you guys. You don't have any integrity
elders
Dude, you can't be stepping up on the fucking lions dead thinking you're gonna get pet you mess with the bull you get the horns
Oh, and he actually went soft on him
Yeah, I mean he did the right page. I was just letting him down easy the best use of AI
That really is that I?
This was before my time, but I just remember watching that
This was before my time, but I just remember watching that. That's like a thousand times.
But back to, we got to do the Rams.
Yeah, that'd be a great game.
Detroit game two years ago.
That's a huge game because Stafford, you know, the Stafford effect.
I was like praying that they didn't play in the first round and then Stafford beat them.
That would like, I think Detroit would not recover from that.
As a snow. They've been bounced back pretty good since all their shit, but then it would be right back. For beat them that would like I think Detroit would not recover from that
As a yeah, yeah, they've been bounced back pretty good since all their shit, but then they would be that would hurt Yeah, that would have hurt
But yeah, we got it. We definitely got to get that game and you know, I got a funny feeling
They're gonna have a few more games. But before that we can't just say, you know a bunch of Super Bowl
Let's just let's get to let's get to one first
And then we are talking to Darren McCarty about fighting it in the Joe said before I say it again
It's our most one of our most requested games. It's gonna happen. We're working on it. Hear you. Yeah, we'll do it
Good question. Hey Jack
Julian it's Megan obviously. I just want to give a quick compliment to you guys. Thank you
Thank you for putting wrestling on Gans with names.
I know there's a lot more out there,
but I do want to say thank you for putting more of it on.
You know, there's a lot to talk about regarding WWE, AEW,
you name it, from the wrestling fans, thank you.
It's much appreciated.
No problem.
Hey, we're wrestling guys ourselves.
Wrestling is a part of the culture.
Amen.
And I wanted to say American culture, but I would say just
culture in general because you go down to Mexico.
You see, you see the little luchadores luchadores.
You go down to I know, sir, you look at anywhere in the
stands.
I know it's not like professional wrestling, but you see like
Stingy stand people wrestling bears and like wrestling in Japan. They love it out there. They love it out there
Don't they yes Andre the giant used to have to fly in like a coach seat all the way out there
No way, dude. It was crazy. Could you imagine Andre the giant in Japan? Dude? It was so bad
He couldn't fit in the bathroom. so they had like crap in a bucket.
They just put a curtain around him.
It was so sad.
No.
Dude, I'm saying like with all seriousness,
there's in the dock.
Because those flights would kill him, dude.
He's so big.
How many Sapporo's do you think he's drinking?
Oh my God, bro, at least 48.
And then it looks like a mini can in his hand.
It really does.
Yeah, right?
That's how Billy O'Brien described
Gronk with a football once. No way. That's a great
analogy. Who else but Billy O? WWE, man. We, I think we gotta do more. We gotta do more.
Let me throw this one to the room here, guys. Of the wrestlers alive, RIP Macho, who would you most
want on? There's one clear answer. I know my answer. And he just liked one of our pros.
The Rock?
No, not The Rock.
Rock would be cool.
Steel, Stone Cold?
Yeah, I mean, or Goldberg.
The Rattlesnake.
Or Pete Goldberg for sure.
No, the Rattlesnake.

It's kind of like...
In this economy?
Geez.
I thought it was made here.
Where in New Hampshire do you think we'd build a stadium?
You want it on the coast? Next to the... Where were you putting here here in New Hampshire. Do you think we'd build a stadium you want on the coast next to the next?
Where were you put in the stadium in New Hampshire?
next to the power plant in Seabrook, I
Probably do Lake Winnipeg, like when I'm a sock in the lake Winnie Bats for a wolf for probably over there Academy. Yeah, okay
That probably taxes are high though. You think mr. Kraft's gonna put up with the property taxes
What's your tax for a 2%? No, it's super high because you got a super high
I don't know the numbers but you got to pay for not having income tax. You got to build your mediocre school somehow
All right
Mr. I'm seeing one point mr. 41
It's 1.41. See, yeah, it's it's it's expensive. Usually it's% of purchase price. You know, it's sad about you know your numbers, bro
You know, you know your text numbers. Well taxes. I know you're good with all that shit what's sad about New Hampshire
I'm not though. That's the crazy thing the old man. I'm out and fell off
Huh the old man on the mountain, you know the thing that's on the quarter. Yeah. Yeah, it's on the license plate license plates
It like fell off. It's gone.
I don't even know what that means.
You know, you know, the old man on the mountain.
Old man on the mountain. It's like New Hampshire's thing.
Oh, yeah. It's on the license plates.
It fell off. It fell off. It's gone.
Dude, RIP. When? Like 10 years ago.
How? I think ice and snow. Just. All right win like ten years ago. How I think I sense now
Just got in there and like knocked it off. Damn. Well though. This is what it is now. I think
RIP, so that's what it looks like now. Yeah
It could have been it kind of looks like Pat Patriot and the logo looky bro. Yeah, hey, it does the flying Elvis
Yeah, he's got the same chin in the same nose Great spot for a stadium right there. Yeah, right there
Those are white mountains. Yeah. Hey
next question
Hey, Jules. Hope you're doing well my friend. I have a nice
Long-cut in driving from Austin, Texas to Southern, California
Shout out you figured it'd be a good time to call games with names here. Hey, quick
question for you. Ran into you back in 2017 with Dola out in Austin, Texas on Rainy Street. Just
curious if you could give any insights about the city and what you guys were up to. Bye my friend. See ya.
2017, that sounds like an offseason after a Super Bowl.
It sounds like an off season after a Super Bowl. Rainy street.
I believe it was rainy that day.
Whole lot of drinking.
Nice.
Whole lot of drinking.
Nice.
Tequila?
Probably whiskey if you're in Texas.
Maybe a little Franklin barbecue.
A little bourbon or something.
I don't know.
Isn't Jim Beam Texas?
Huh?
Jim Beam's Texas, isn't it?
I don't know.
Austin's fun though.
That was like my first time ever
being in Austin that year, I think.
I never been, I wanna go some days.
It's like California, Texas.
Nice. Yeah.
It's like if you go to like Silver Lake,
but it was like 30 degrees hotter and way flatter.
Less cowboy hats, surprisingly.
I was just gonna say less cowboy hats.
Yeah, surprisingly. Less cowboy hats surprised. I was just gonna say that's cowboy. Yeah, surprisingly less cowboy in Texas, but it's real creative
It's real cool food is awesome. People are cool
You know, I enjoyed I love Austin Dola lives there got a lot of friends that live there and not a bad tour guide
No, it's fun. It's like one past man and only podcast I can listen to
Once you once said that you were 20 feel in a homicide away from getting your chance in the league
Besides you and Brady who would your top five guys be that took advantage of that freak opportunity?
That's a triple homicide dude, I would say Rob Ninkovic took advantage of opportunities
I remember he was a long snapper and we had him at camp and he was blowing past Matt Light.
First day of pads.
And like Bill highlighted in front of the team.
And then he made, I mean, he was a long,
we pulled him from the same side and he was a long snapper.
That was a big story.
And then Woodhead.
The Woodhead taking advantage of his opportunity.
I think we plucked him off Jets practice squad.
Came in that first week.
I think he scored two touchdowns.
It was awesome.
So there's been a bunch of those guys.
James White, you know, Shane Green leaves.
James White steps in and he looked like
a completely different football player
from the day he stepped in to like the day
he really started playing.
Didn't Deion Lewis was kind of an afterthought?
Deion Lewis was too, an afterthought.
Yeah.
And then he was, he got hurt.
He was electric for like two years or a year and a half.
A year and then he tore his ACL.
I mean, there's a lot of those stories.
Marcus Cannon had cancer in college.
Came back, baby.
That's why he slid.
We got him in like the third or fourth round, didn't play his first couple years
because he had to recover from the chemo,
beat it or whatever.
It was some kind of recoverable one.
And then, you know, played and contributed
a whole lot to our team.
I mean, there's countless stories of guys.
Malcolm Butler.
Malcolm Butler.
Malcolm Butler.
Malcolm Butler, undrafted guy.
Malcolm Butler, working out Popeyes to, you know.

Hey, Julian, how you doing?
I just saw your post on Instagram where you were replaying the Edelman-Dola pass.
I don't suppose you or Dola saved the football, did you?
I was thinking it would be fun to see it in the Nutt House.
Thanks, bye.
Ooh, is Kyler doing a little cinematic?
Ooh.
It's somewhere here, we have it in the Nutt House.
There it is.
There it is, baby. Pretty cool. We should make in the Nuthouse. There it is. There it is baby. Pretty cool.
We should make some content of like going through
in more detail. I so agree.
The TD pass.
Was there ever, here's a petty question Jules.
Was there ever a like Dola being like
oh I kind of want that.
You throwing it is cooler than him catching
his touchdowns all the time. Right.
I don't know. Because I didn't know if Dola ever tried to vibe you like,
oh, give me that ball.
Dola's not that kind of guy.
That's true.
I know Dola.
Dola be like, hey, man, it's your memory.
Dola is a dude's dude, baby.
You can do one of those King Solomon things and cut it in half.
And whoever's like, no, don't cut it in half, then they get the ball.
I don't even.
Yeah.
I don't even know half the balls that we have up here.
So what happens when you got so many memories? No, we didn't even pick like the cooler ones.
That's my favorite place ever. Initially when we were doing the Nut House, we moved into
the Nut House, I was like Jules, you have any cool shit? And you were like no. I was
like okay. And then there was like a closet full of cool shit, and so I just like pulled it out. I was like fucking jewels
That was sent that was sent. I didn't know they were here already. It was here already. They had like five
Bins of shit that I didn't go through over my career
I mean every new every new year the locker was kind of clear and they'd put it over in like a different place and just kind
of
Store your shit for the fans at home
After you make a big play that's keep the ball worthy what goes down on the sidelines
You know what now the ball guys are so dialed with it. You don't even have to ask they'll come to you after the game
Say hey, do you want this ball? That's that's sick's sick you know they're the the the equipment guys
they're all they all know white gloves kind of guys what guy who wants one who doesn't want a
ball and they put the tape around it then they tape and you know mark it that's awesome it's cool
in like in hockey if like a young stud gets his like first goal or first thing and like the old
school captain goes to the net picks the puck up and gives it the equipment guy there's like a cool like respect and then happens I think yeah I just got a lot of those unwritten rules
Derbele here got an off-topic question favorite sign-celled episode slash moment
go I use the soup Nazi a lot yeah yep I don't know that just came to my
don't soup for you those are for for you! Three weeks! Two weeks!
I use that a bunch.
I didn't get you bread.
What about you guys? Just forget it.
I like uh, I've been thinking about
the jerk store a lot recently.
Hey George, the ocean called, they're running out of shrimp.
Then he's, then like two days later
you have a jerk store moment where you're like
the jerk store called, they're running out of you!
Oh, it's such a, I like, the jerk store called, they're running out of you.
Oh, it's such, I think about that all the time.
The Titleist and the Blowhole.
Titleist and the Blowhole is great.
Is a great one with Kramer and George.
See, I don't know that many by name like that.
No, I feel you. I just know moments in memes.
I really, I like.
It's not a lie if you believe it.
Great Costanzaism.
The Summer of George is a good one too.
Summer of George, Asaf just referenced that. He did. This morning. You remember Asaf a summer of George's fun a good one, too I'm a soft just reference that he did this morning. You remember a soft summer of George. Yeah
We all forget the soft son. You'll remember next question. Hold on
I think when George is playing with the Yankees is fun when he's like doing so yeah
He does all the yes when he stops having sex and he comes really smart and he's like even teaching like Bernie Williams
How to hit a home his face? He's like Yeah. Get some of the cotton jerseys.
There's also, oh yeah.
There's also Kramer as the turkey.
Oh yes.
When he's like tanning a lot.
I like, what's the,
not Kramer's buddy that everyone hates.
Newman?
Yeah, I love Newman.
Hello Newman.
I love whenever Newman's in there.
Hello.
Shout out Wayne Knight, bro.
Fucking Jurassic Park.
That's right. No, no, no. Oh yeah. Jack, bro. Fucking Jurassic Park. That's right.
No, no, no.
Oh, yeah.
Jack, Kyler, Jules, how you guys doing?
Calling in from UMass Boston here in Dorchester.
Go Beacons.
Dirty dots.
I have a couple questions for you guys today
regarding soccer or European football.
So I wanted to know, the three of you guys,
are you football fans?
I mean, soccer fans? And if so, what's your favorite
player, team? Did you watch European, like the Premier League soccer growing up? MLS, I know
Jules you shared. Jalit Stadium with the New England Revolution and your time with the Patriots.
Some notable players from the Rez, like Clint Dempsey, US men's national team legend,
and a few other great players to come by the revolution.
So yeah, let me know.
Shout out Clint Dempsey.
We both worked at the CBS together.
He was always a cool dude and he always had a good swagger.
You know, he always had that tip on his shoulder
for American soccer whenever you watch him play.
I didn't grow up a crazy soccer fan,
played soccer from four to eight
before I could play football.
But my high school friends,
like my group of high school friends
are all diehard EPL people.
Like three of them love Arsenal
one likes Liverpool one likes Man City because when they had a bunch of Argentinians because they're Argentine he's
Argentinian dro dro
And so I picked I picked a team that was different
I picked Tottenham and I started so I and learned them through playing FIFA, because I play FIFA,
and I became a super big fan of Harry Kane.
And then Harry Kane was a fan of the Patriots.
And so after 2018 Super Bowl,
when we won the Super Bowl MVP,
and that year,
we had a private room and Harry Kane
actually came and celebrated with us.
He was at the game and we became and we talked for probably like an hour
and hung out.
How cool is that?
That was awesome.
He was wearing a Brady jersey though.
He was, I mean, it's Tom Brady.
But, so I liked Tottenham and then I always liked Ruben
from Bayern Munich like years ago
because I'd play with them and he was a white guy that was super
fast on the right wing so I liked him I like Muller I like the German team I like Bayern Munich
to now and now Harry Kane plays for Byron there it is full circle I did go to a Arsenal game back in 16 2015 the year that Leicester City won the EPO I saw Arsenal play EPO at
Arsenal and I saw I think Welbeck come in on extra time I think Vardy had a
goal a breakaway goal on the last like two seconds it was like extra time on a
corner kicked it they scored like two goals and last like two minutes and and
Arsenal ended up winning in the heartbreak
It could have been something different, but there was like two crazy goals one at the last second and it was it was crazy
I was super infatuated with how the fans watched the sport. I was sitting in a box
Watching the soccer game. I'm looking for a dog. I'm looking for a French onion dip, no one around.
No one looking at me.
I'm looking for a beard, no, everyone is glued to the,
to the field.
They're watching the whole thing the whole time.
When they go to the soccer game,
they're watching the soccer game.
America, you go to a goddamn game, you wanna eat,
you gonna talk, you know,
it was just a completely different experience.
And it's, they didn't have like great replay TVs and shit like my how how fuck am I supposed?
I can barely even see this thing, but it was an electric environment
It's in the middle of like a little ass area the arsenals stadium or whatever. It's called the old taffer
Yeah, old Trafford old traffic neighborhoods, and so I mean I'm a fan now, and I've now we know our old Trafford? Yeah, Old Trafford. Old Trafford? In your neighborhoods. And so, I mean, I'm a fan now, and I've now.
Oh wait, no, our Old Trafford's man.
Man.
City, I think.
City, I should know that.
I should too.
I did a promo for something.
Manu, Manu, Jesus Christ.
Well, you also did the cool thing with Real Madrid.
Yeah, I got to go to Real Madrid, practice.
The goalie, Couto?
Yeah, Couto, we did that.
And then we got to, I was vibing with another,
the Brazilian dude.
And then Peter Schmeichel, I worked over with,
we went to legendary Man U goalie.
We went over to and did a,
we did a seminar in Croatia, a sports seminar and Peter
Schmeichel was like he's a cool dude and those those soccer dudes they're famous
everywhere. They're like gods over there. Gods. We're in fucking Havar, Zadar, one
of these little islands and people are like oh Peter Schmeichel, Peter Schmeichel. He's tall too isn't he?
Tall. Handsome lad. Handsome lad. What did he finish? He was um. He's tall too, isn't he? Tall. Handsome lad.
Handsome lad.
What is he, Finnish?
He was, um...
He's made from the Netherlands?
His son plays, right?
Yeah, his son's a...
He's a bit, he's for the national team.
What is...
They're Danish.
Danish, yeah.
Yeah, he's a really cool,
he was a really like fun dude to get to learn.
Like his insight, his curiosity, his questions,
that like were able to bring both the sports together.
He was a really cool dude.
I wish I could, I want to see him again, eventually.
Dude, we gotta get him on the pod someday.
I know.
Talk some Man City, the last one.
We definitely gotta get some,
we gotta get Harry Kane on this.
Harry, come on, dude.
How cool would that be?
Cross the fucking pond, mate. World Cup, World Cup. Come sit on Harry Kane on this Harry. Oh, would that be cross the fucking pond mate?
World Cup World Cup sit on a little lit couch. We gotta go to the World Cup, huh? World Cups playing at Gillette

There's a really young kid playing on what was Messi's old team. Yeah, he's on Barcelona
Oh, yeah, my your mall. Yeah, he's he was in he was in the World Cup last time for Spain
Well, you're gonna be in England this summer potentially go ahead potentially. We'll see
Good question
What happens logistically to an NFL player who's ruled after the season with like a long-term injury
to an NFL player who gets rolled out for the season with a long-term injury.
So let's say a player gets injured in training camp
or very early in the season with an ACL tear or something.
Like what's the protocol?
Does the team create a schedule
for their surgery and recovery?
Does a player have to manage it all on his own?
Does he still join in on video sessions and things like that?
Completely isolated for the rest of the year. Also, how do players who have a long-term injury Video sessions and things like that completely
the year
Also, how do players who have those long-term injuries seem to stay in shape and not lose any muscle mass at all during
Those months when they can't really train
Always been curious about that. Thanks lock us
First off
You're around the team and your schedule depends on who you are. If you're a guy that's new and he's still trying to learn the system, doesn't know
this, you know, offense or defense, depending on where he is in his, in his career, they'll
keep them around and they'll design after that. Now the schedule
usually when you tear your ACL everything's about your flexion and
extension so when you get your complete flexion and extension back that's when
they'll go in and cut it it's usually about a month depending on if you have
your MCL or not. They want the swelling to get out so you do a
lot of prehab before you go into surgery
With your acl and then also who manages it
Um your agent helps you manage it the team will manage it, but you are
able to get second third opinions
That the team will pay for so if you have a doctor if there's a knee specialist a lot of people go down to anderson in
Alabama and they'll send either a film So if you have a doctor if there's a knee specialist a lot of people go down to Anderson in Alabama
And they'll send either a film or they'll go have a visit with him and see what he says team has to pay for it
And if you pick him you you can go with him you can pick whoever you want to to operate on you
You know, I would always have
Dr. Neal atrocious out here. He's a close friend.
I'd always get a second opinion from Neal.
Just to keep clear thought.
Pete Asness did mine.
He was in Boston.
He's a Boston Mass General guy.
And after that, it's pretty routine.
Now, how guys keep their muscle mass,
that's the biggest problem
when you come back from these injuries.
So when you tear your right leg, your right knee, that's the number one thing you're trying to build at day one.
You're doing quad flexes to try to prevent the atrophy, because once you go in and cut and you don't move your leg,
you're going to lose like 20% of your leg in like the first week, it's freaking crazy.
So they've got a lot of things now also,
they have this thing called BFR, blood flow restriction,
where they'll cut pretty much the circulation
off of your leg or whatever muscle you're doing.
And so the work will be like a million times harder.
So you can essentially do like a regular squat
with no weight and it kind of manipulates your muscle
and your body to thinking you're loading your leg
to a whole nother level.
So then there's some kind of thing where
it'll shoot more growth hormone when you constrict it.
So a lot of guys are doing this thing
where it's like a tourniquet.
They tourniquet your muscles, each, everyone,
and they work that muscle group, and it's very hard,
and it reduces the load that you put on your body,
but it manipulates your mind to thinking
that you're loading your body.
At least that's what they say.
So a lot of blood flow restriction, but that's the number one thing when you're coming your body. At least that's what they say. So a lot of blood flow restriction.
But that's the number one thing
when you're coming back from injury.
That's what I would always tell the doctor.
I'm like, I'm not trying to be 100%.
I'm trying to be where I was at.
You know, 100% healthy and 100% where you're at
is completely different.
And that's like the last,
that's the hardest part about coming back from an injury,
especially like a lower extremity injury, the atrophy is the endurance strength you
can get up to your top speed but you could only hit it one time out of five
when you're supposed to hit it five out of five you know what I mean that's
that's what you're battling though that's what the race is right away is
try to get that leg to where your other leg is. Summary, schedule is, where you do it is usually about who
you are, where you are in that system, scheme, organization,
how long you've been in it.
Does that mean like a veteran?
Like a veteran can go off through this thing?
I was around the facility when I tore my ACL,
but I wasn't in meetings.
Like a younger guy, if he was a rookie and he tears his ACL,
he'd do his rehab and then he'd go sit in
all the meetings and shit
because he has to still learn the install.
You know, I wasn't in that point in my career at that time.
Some guys, if you want, you could rehab it
in different areas, at different places.
Just once again, depends on who you in and where you are in your career who manages it usually your
agent and the head trainer your team and then timeline is all depending on what
the severity of your injury is because you have to do your prehab stuff get the
swelling out before you actually cut it so usually they'll wait like a month
after depending.
And then also the recovery time,
depending on what if with the ACL, what they use.
Are you using cadaver, are you using hamstring tendon,
are you using patellar tendon?
Patellar tendon's a longer recovery,
but a less re rupture rate, I believe.
You know, that could all change,
that all changes every few years.
That's what I was told
But it's that's like that's the race man. What's the agent doing?
Like so the agents communicating with the he's communicating with team
so like
He'll say hey, do you want to get a second opinion and I'll say yeah set it up. Okay
so he'll hit up agent will hit up team and
Second doctor and have put everything together.
So you have multi you can have anyone do your surgery.
That's you know, the league will take care of that.
Now, if you're on the active roster, has there ever been like an instance that you've seen where the second opinion is like vastly different and it becomes a thing that
they have to work through. You got to take all that with a grain of salt.
Mm-hmm. Some of these doctors just want to be the guy.
Alright buddy, I gotta do it or what?
Yeah, am I cutting or not? Shoot me straight doc. Shoot me straight.
I'm out for eight, I'm out for 10.
Because there have been some instances in the history
of sports with players having disagreements.
Yeah, but I haven't had that.
ACL is such a routine freaking injury now.
30 years ago, we're different.
40 years ago, you're retiring.
Now it's like Tommy John, you come back stronger.
It's crazy.
Did you do cadaver?
No, I went patellar tendon.
No one does to cadaver when you're playing.
Oh, okay.
Cadaver is the most re-upture rate.
It's usually for like the non-athletic people
that are not going to like physically demand their knee.
So Kurt probably went cadaver?
Definitely cadaver.
Or hamstring tendon.
I'm kidding, I'm just kidding.
And a lot of guys don't want to mess with their
hamstring tendon because we're speed guys.
Yeah, you don't want to touch any of that.
And so if you are in a schedule where you are in the
facility or you're younger and you're near the team,
you're going to games too?
You're in the facility during games?
But not probably traveling with team?
We didn't travel as hurt guys.
Like my year when I tore my ACL, I was there, but I wasn't.
I was rehabbing like all day.
I was rehab, you know what I mean?
So like, yeah.
It's a lonely, it can be a lonely place for an athlete
is when you're hurt.
I can only imagine, man.
Man, that was awesome.
The calls are always great.
Always, keep them coming, guys.
Keep them coming.
I love those inside baseball, like deep dives,
like inside of the life of a professional athlete.
Like we had a clip when you talked about travel
that did really well.
So more of that stuff.
Keep pulling back the curtain.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, oh, they don't test for wheat no more, but hey, they took away our pension. Yeah. I'm Jake Hanrahan, journalist and documentary filmmaker.

The American West with Dan Flores is the latest show
from the meat eater podcast network hosted by me,
writer and historian Dan Flores,
and brought to you by Velvet Buck.
This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else.
Each episode, I'll be diving into some
of the lesser known histories of the West.
I'll then be joined in conversation by guests
such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams,
and bestselling author
and meat eater founder Stephen Rinella. I'll correct my kids now and then where
they'll say when cave people were here and I'll say it seems like the Ice Age
people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting
Tuesday May 6th where we'll delve into stories of the West and come to
understand how it helps inform the ways
in which we experience the region today. Listen to The American West with Dan Flores on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun?
ask all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun?
Sometimes the answer is yes, but there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
Across the country, cops called this Taser the revolution.
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Cops believed everything that Taser told them.

Explore the winding halls of historical true crime with Holly Fry and Maria Tramurky, hosts of Criminalia, as they uncover curious cases from the past.
The legend of the highwayman suggests men dominated the field.
But tell that to Lady Catherine Ferrer's, known as the Wicked Lady,
who terrorized England in the mid 1600s. Her legend persists nearly 400 years after her death.
Hear the story of the gentleman robber, the romantic darling of the ladies, and a tale about a wager over a sack of potatoes, but you'll have to tune in to learn who won that one.
Some highwaymen were well-mannered or faked it.
People were concerned about the romanticism of robbers, but most were just thugs.
Highwaymen are in the hot seat this season.
Call them robbers or bandits.
Some are legendary figures.

mocktails inspired by each.

My backup plan was to be a firefighter. I
actually went
My senior year. I went and visited I went back home to Cincinnati
With a couple my college teammates and
I visited a firehouse in Cincinnati and got like the whole shind like the whole
experience and I liked it you know I I always thought like if you could be a
firefighter,
I'd still have that camaraderie.
You'd still get a little bit of that locker room vibe.
Still be jacked.
Be doing something cool.
You only work two days a week.
Yeah.
So I was thinking maybe I could go get another job.
You know what I mean?
That's how I was thinking.
A lot of the small businesses too.
Yeah.
My dad was always like, man, if you could do that,
be a firefighter.
Good pension, son.
Good pension, retire early.
I like that.
Retire early.
So I was thinking maybe be a firefighter.
Where?
Just back home or in Cincinnati?
I don't know.
You were going to move to Cincinnati?
I just wanted to get a look.
He was a fire chief.
He was an awesome dude.
And I don't know.
I mean, I was.
What do you think would be your specialty as a firefighter?
You drive the truck?
You're like the guy that's like this.
I wonder like two guys that drive the truck.

And like back in those days when my dad was a mechanic,
he was like a greaser, you know, like the dropouts,
you know, he didn't want me to be growing up in the shop.
I worked at the shop in the summer,
I'd be a parts boy and stuff,
but he didn't want me to do that or music. Oh, no was in a rock band the 80s he's like no music for you it's your
