Got Kevin Neal and Stamos, Eric Andre and Rich Eisen.
Stamos?
Yeah, oh yeah.
Uncle Jesse?
Oh yeah.
Uncle Jesse's gonna be there?
Uncle Jesse, oh yeah dude.
I love me some Uncle Jesse.
Oh yeah.
He was just ripping on drums I saw on Instagram.
Dude, he was in a Beast Boys cover.
He's got a good like Elvis impersonation as well.
I just wanna smell his fingers.
But I think that there is,
but I, and I'm definitely gonna ask him that.
I wouldn't ask him that as Adam, but as Dr. Phil, I mean.
Who gives a.
Oh my God.
What do you think his connection
with Aunt Becky is nowadays?
Did she see the kids go to jail from your school?
These are the things too that I feel like I wanna bring up.
But yeah, I mean, he probably has her back.
There's such a-
The Full House crew is such a tight knit fam.
I still see pictures of them all hanging out.
I'm sure there's a part of him.
A guy, RIP, Sag.
Anytime you ask any of the comics about Saget,
they're all like, we lost a good one.
He was a good dude.
People loved him.
Yeah, he was nice to everybody.
It's such an easier, I mean, it's such an easy thing to, are we going by the way?
Or do you want to start?
Yeah, I don't know.
All right, here we go.
I can tell another second story,
but I don't know if we want to capture it or not,
but that one's probably not good for an opener.
Anyway, here's how Saget died, dude, but the Seahawks,
I think it was a touchdown, man.
Speaking of shitty calls that weren't made,
he should have called the hospital,
just like the ref should have called a flag.
Yeah.
Welcome to games with names.
I'm Julian Edelman.
They're Jack and Kyler and we're on a mission to find the greatest game of all time.
And on today's episode, we are covering the fail Mary game with comedian,
Seattle super sports fan and the man that made Dr. Phil hilarious.
Adam Ray.
And we get into talking.
What it takes to do a great impression needs some tips.
Bill Burr, big fan. He goes, thanks buddy.
F*** off.
You're Bill Burr.
Bringing back the Super Sonics.
Where the f*** did they go?
I got more into football the Super Sonics, where the f*** did they go?
I got more into football once the Sonics left.
And what it's like to play Dr. Phil.
Getting into the makeup really helps to get lost in something.
And we play a little Jack Asks.
Jack Asks?
Jack Asks.
I guess.
In this week's Chill Zone presented by Coors Light.
You gotta stick around to the very end.
Let's go. Games with Names, a production
of iHeartRadio. prayer from the Green Bay 40. The pass is incomplete. No, wait, it's a touchdown.
This is the fail Mary.
Welcome to Games with Names.
We have a special guest, Adam Ray,
in the Nut Hell Studio
today to talk about the fail merry game
between the Packers and Seahawks.
Week three of the 2012 season.
Adam, in one sentence, why this game?
First of all, great to be here.
First time caller, long time listener.
The setup is great.
There's a trampoline in the back.
There was a, he has an in-house postmates guy that is just always on the ready to give
out broccoli soup from Panera Uber eats.
That's right.
I see the commercials.
We'll edit that out.
Um, we'll, uh, get your, uh, boy.
Was it again, Curtis?
I'm Kyler.
I'm fucking the same thing.
We'll take it.
Same thing.
Feels like a Curtis.
Where were you on January 6th?
But there was a time where the Seahawk Packer rivalry
was hotter than it is now.
But I think this game really kind of took it up a notch.
In one sentence, what happened that day?
No, why you picked this game.
Why I picked this game is I. Know why you picked this game.
Why I picked this game is I think this is this game definitely is almost like
a it's talked about more than we think.
I think as far as you can attest this better than anybody, but
the amount of blown calls there have been historically, not just in the end of it,
in every sport, right?
But I don't know if I put this on them being replacement refs as much as
I put this on. Fuck. All right. In one sense,
I picked this game because I didn't want to talk about my parents divorce.
And this was the second saddest thing I could think of because I feel like,
and you know, I, I don't want to say as a Hawks fan that they,
they got it wrong, but I mean,
I definitely was with my buddies watching this because this was early.
This was the start of Russell Wilson's campaign.
This was like this was Matt Flynn was the guy oops a daisy hold that thought Matt
go fuck yourself we got this 30th round pick who a little, she doesn't have all the updates on her
hard drive. She, some of the players might try to fuck her, maybe they will fuck her. We don't know.
Pete Carroll is going to chew his gum all the way till the end. They're going to bond over Jesus and,
you know, chocolates and whatever. Everything was hunky dory. And I think this, I picked this game because
I think this was the momentum swing that this was for the Seahawks for the rest of the season was huge.
It was a ESPN game, correct me if I'm wrong.
Yep.
And it was-
Gruden.
Again, I think it was Gruden calling it,
probably being like, I mean, this definitely,
I mean, I can't do a Gruden,
but let's do if Jason Satham was doing it. Oh, this is a shitty fucking call.
So, I mean, yeah, there's fucking cuckoo
for Cocoa Puffs right there.
Who knows where Russell's, can we do a VH1's
where they're now crazy fucking women?
She, look, I mean, that, I don't know.
It's excitement.
Is it?
That I've been excited.
I didn't look like I was gonna eat my significant other,
but she's got Tony Robbins gums, she's also got like there is an excitement.
She you're right.
They but it's also like she saw to me I see that she sees like I'm set for life.
And then she's like, golden tate.
What does your dick smell like?
And so allegedly, allegedly, we'll be right back.
We'll keep right here.
But Jules, this game was a kickstarter, I think,
for what the run that the Seahawks had from 2012,
I guess you could say 2014, right?
But I remember being like, I can't believe they got it wrong.
And then I think as every fan does, you convince yourself,
they're like, no, no, actually.
They got it right.
And when people would ask me, and I
think this was the right move on my part as a fan,
people are like, they blew it.
And then after a while, you're like,
I definitely admitted to, yeah, that was a wild call.
And then I think I got real defensive about it
and was like, nah, dude, they nailed it, dude.
These replacement refs need to come back.
They are the guys.
They are dialed in.
And I mean, this shot even just of, you know,
I mean, it was perfectly timed too.
I mean, 84 was like looked up.
And I think he saw this guy going up.
And so he was like, yeah, maybe he
thought he was going to go like this and then to the side.
But they are probably still talking about this over Facebook Messenger or something.
Maybe they live together now and they're just, they honestly should start a reality
show or a podcast called Bad Calls and just go over all the calls that have come through after this one.
But they're literally like retired.
They're done?
No, they're literally like retired,
like cops and firefighters that like got the call
to go up to the bigs as the replacement refs.
That's how the replacement refs worked.
They really dug deep.
They go for like the high school.
I think they were high school college guys.
There was a guy who got fired from the,
what was it, the lingerie?
He was fired from the lingerie football league.
Fired from the lingerie football league from the lawn. Incompetence.
And they say he was trying to do too many jersey swaps after the game.
Oh, my God. I love that guy, actually.
He was like, he's like, dude, I have four games in me, Max.
Like, I want to get as many ciggies as I can.
I've got a stepson who doesn't talk to me.
He calls me Dustin.
Like, you know, like this is this is not where I want to be.
I should not go according to plan.
So let me just like, you know, get as much out of this as I can.
It's almost like, I mean, so these refs were the equivalent of like,
let's say the porn industry went on strike and you got a bunch of pervs in
the Midwest that are on only fans.
And all of a sudden the porn industry is like doing a mass casting call.
And they're like, we need dicks.
And these guys are just like, they're just constantly going to the pen.
Is that what these guys were?
Pretty much that.
Probably a better analogy.
I just thought about the South Park special
that you just did on that.
Oh yeah.
With Randy doing the fucking OnlyFans.
So good.
Now, is this the greatest game of all time?
No, for my Seahawks?
All time.
Where this is, the mission of this show
is to find the greatest game of all time.
Is this the greatest game of all time?
We ask every person.
Well, let me know is an acceptable answer.
That's a heavy answer.
Well, that was an acceptable answer.
Do you just want a yes or no answer?
Do you want me to actually like try to discuss it?
Let's discuss it.
What if I just said no and you're like, all right, that's Adam Ray on Instagram.
Thanks for being here.
That's how Jules does podcast.
Yeah. Yeah. Short and sweet does podcasts. Yeah, yeah.
Short and sweet.
It was a great game.
I'm not a fan of low scoring games.
Yeah, I'm with you.
So the fact that this was, I think,
12-7 before this last play was not exciting.
I won a 30-26 or a 37-35.
Everybody does. I went to
the Dodgers game last night was 15 to two and it was like almost exhausting,
you know, getting up every other at bat, but it was like, it was really exciting.
Like there was 46,000 people there. They were going bananas every, every,
um, every hit, but, uh, you know, this was Legion of boom defense. So we were
pretty dialed in greatest game ever. I mean, if you, you know, this was Legion of Boom defense, so we were pretty dialed in.
Greatest game ever.
I mean, if you, you know, the NFC championship before we, you know,
eight shit against you guys was pretty, pretty good.
Again, you want a game for me, I go greatest game like the I want the emotions.
This is all over the place.
This is no, and this game had it, you know, I would put this in a top see-how game for sure.
I don't know if I'd go top five,
but I'd probably go top 10.
Well, it's definitely a memorable game that,
you know, I was playing this game,
I remember, or this, this season,
and we were playing in Baltimore,
I think this week or the next.
Not the next,
cause they solved it after this game.
Then it was this week.
They brought the real refs back instantly. Right after this? then it was this week back instantly right after this game
Yeah, two days later the Thursday game after they had real refs cuz yeah cuz this got I mean this was a huge
This is huge story. Everybody was going we were watching this and you know, we were watching it as a team together like alright guys
We we don't know how consistent the calls are gonna be. Oh wow to get we see this clear here
Let's not let our emotions get to us. Like that's what Bill would say.
You know what I mean?
I got like an OPI call from some dude.
Fucking stupid.
I remember this whole fake wrath thing.
But let's talk about you and what you do these days.
You just went to a Dodgers game.
I mean, what a life.
What a life.
Are we gonna keep this part in? Yeah, yeah. I love that. Dude, Katie Couric over life. What a life. Are we going to keep this part in?
Yeah, yeah. I love that.
Dude, Katie Couric over here. Table for one.
So, you had breakfast this morning. Congrats.
Did you chew it yourself?
Yeah, man. Went to the Dodgers game.
Family was in town.
First of all,
you know,
I was going to segue to like, what's life like these days?
But clearly, I mean, we got Dodgers games over here. I mean, it was cool.
We might, my buddy, Phil everywhere. I mean, I went and saw the show.
You got shows, live shows everywhere. I just wanted to know what the day in the
life you killed it, dude. Never change. Have a bomb ass summer. Um,
how would you sign a yearbook by the way? That's how I would sign a yearbook.
Thanks for the logic. That's a great question.
How would I sign it? Or did you, did you, you had yearbook, by the way? That's how I would sign a yearbook. Thanks for the logic. That's a great question. How would I sign it?
You had yearbooks, right?
Yeah, I don't remember.
Did you sign your name in a heart?
Did you ever do some long?
I mean, and the rest of the crew can speak to this,
but some people, girls more so than guys,
would be like, here's my yearbook.
You can take it during math.
And because they just assume, you probably
want to write nine pages worth of stuff.
And you're like, totally.
We have so many memories, most of which
involve me trying to get with you, but you didn't want to.
So I guess I'll just write thanks, but no thanks, or thanks
for, I hope you are happy with whoever is not me.
But I would always write, have a bomb ass summer.
And I think at first I did it and I really meant it,
which is sad.
I mean, it's cool, but that's probably, you know,
but then I realized that I needed to write something cooler.
So it was like, you know, never change or like stay white.
I don't know, I'd write that to my black friend.
I don't know.
You know, just trying to keep it interesting. I don't remember that stuff as much's my black friend. I don't know. You know, just trying to, just trying to keep it interesting.
I don't remember that stuff.
I like to have a nice life.
Have a nice life is nice.
That's definitely definitive though.
Yes.
That's like when you found out in MySpace when they went up to top 40 and you weren't
in your friend's top 40, you're like, I'm dead to them.
Yeah.
They have Barack Obama in their top 40 and I've known them for 30 years.
Teal tequila.
Teal tequila, RIP.
Oh my God.
RIP.
Wow. I forgot. That's where the quick tequila, RIP. Oh my god. RIP, wow, I forgot.
That's worth a quick goog, but I think she's dead.
What about Tom?
I just saw something that he's like, no, he's a photographer.
Tom died?
Dude, teal tequila's still kicking.
Let's go.
Tom's got a 43.
No way.
Still kicking.
Awesome.
No, what about Tom?
Is Tom dead?
Tom from MySpace is probably killing it right now.
I think he made like $400 million in new videos
and has insane vacations and photographers.
Wouldn't it be awesome if Tom was Zuckerberg?
It'd be like a Finkle is Einhorn thing from Ace Ventura.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Finkle is Einhorn?
Einhorn is Finkle.
Everyone starts throwing up.
Yeah.
Cool, dude.
You consider Ace Ventura a football movie?
Oh, yeah.
OK, Marino, the first one. Yeah. The second one, no. Where do you Ventura a football movie? Oh yeah, Camarino, the first one.
Yeah.
The second one, no.
Where do you get this gum, Ace?
That's none of your damn business.
Dan and I appreciate you staying out of my personal affairs.
Dude.
Unreal.
Einhorn is, oh my god.
I got to, real quick, just a little more hock talk.
I got to roast the Seahawks.
I roasted the Steelers before my weekend
of the Pittsburgh improv last summer.
John Schneider, the GM of the Hawks, is a buddy of mine.
And he saw, I posted a video of it, which by the way,
Tomlin immediately was like, take that shit down.
And because I guess they didn't want it to be out there.
I roasted the guys pretty good.
Russ was there at the time and he was up front.
I thought it was gonna be just the rookies,
like during the rookie talent show is what it was.
Rookie camp.
Rookie camp.
So they were like, come roast the rookies before the way
they skits.
Yeah.
And it was the whole team.
Like, coaches, everybody.
Russ and Fields are up front.
I had a Russ joke.
So I get up there.
I was like, first of all, I didn't know you're going to be
here, but man, I'm a Seattle guy.
Thanks for the memories.
And I'm just so glad that you're getting a fresh start here
in Pittsburgh. You know, they did you dirty'm a Seattle guy. Thanks for the memories. And I'm just so glad that you're getting a fresh start here in Pittsburgh.
You know, they did you dirty in Denver, man.
They fucking, they did you dirty.
I haven't seen someone get fucked that hard on tape since,
unless it was being filmed at Diddy's house.
And this was like shortly after all that was popping.
And that was my first joke and it got like split moans.
Definitely got more laughs here than it did there.
But it was like, people were like, not sure how to feel.
Russ definitely like did a turnaround of like whoa, like and then he kind of was
like and then I got up and I gave him a dab and I was like go Hawks and then and
then I kind of like probably didn't know how to react in front of him.
Exactly. That's exactly they wanted to die.
Yeah, that's exactly what they probably had a talk and then I started pointing to
him after jokes.
I'd be like Russ laughed at that one.
Everyone's cool, you know, but so that I got to do it for the Hawks.
And it was, you know, and Tyler Lockett, we still,
I mean, it's crazy, Lockett, DK.
I went down the line and just ripped everybody.
And, and DK even at one point was, I was like,
I'm gonna go down to the players.
And I was like, where's DK Metcalfe?
And it was like, oh shit, you know?
And then they're like, it's his birthday.
I was like, oh, DK, happy birthday.
Hey, what do you want for your birthday?
He's like, no more jokes out of your fucking ass.
And everyone was like, oh shit. And then I just took a beat and I was like, all right, it's his birthday. I was like, oh, DK, happy birthday. What do you want for your birthday? He's like, no more jokes out of your fucking ass.
And everybody was like, oh shit.
And then I just took a beat and I was like,
all right, well strap in motherfucker
because I got 20 locked and loaded.
And everybody was like, oh shit.
And then I just hit him for a bit.
I think one of the ones I did for Tyler Lockett was,
I go, Tyler, you look so young,
you look like a grown ass 12 year old.
You look like if your player intro before the game
that it should be like, Tyler Lockett, wide receiver, Epstein Island, you know?
And that crushed everybody.
That was like my good.
And then I hit Jake Bobo a lot, you know,
one of our receivers, I think it's maybe his third year now.
And it said something about Jake Bobo being like a hidden gem.
And I go, man, they're sure doing a good job
of fucking hiding you, man.
I don't think you've got one catch this year.
And then I had a couple more hits off of Jake Bobo
and how he looks like a deer. We're I had a couple more hits off of Jake Bobo
and how he looks like a deer,
we're hit with a tranquilizer gun when he runs.
And then I made another hit on Bobo and I was like,
sorry, Jake, for you to catch a stray.
I just want you to catch something this season.
And he came up me after and was like, you know,
that's what's up or whatever.
But I don't know, it's so cool.
Things like that made me even way more comfortable to like,
you know, fuck with you on the Phil show.
And even just have a healthy understanding of like,
oh dude, athletes are people too, man.
Too many fans and myself included would see like the ESPYs
and see them cut, you know,
when Norm MacDonald's up there doing jokes and, you know,
and RIP famously.
And you know, that's the one where I think of mostly,
because I think it's gotten a little cleaner since then,
where they cut to an athlete.
Even my boy, Ken Groovey Jr.
Like I remember them cutting to him and him just being like,
not wanting any, like, I think it was from a Norm MacDonald
joke and just not at all showing any sign of like,
that was funny.
And I was just like, oh, I guess athletes can't,
they take themselves too seriously.
Nah, it depends.
Case by case.
It's case by case.
And it's gotten way better because you're all just allowed
and available to be out there more.
So I think we get to know you more.
Because I think it's more intertwined now
with social media and guys are,
guys are allowed to show their emotion a little more now.
Yeah. You know what I mean? It's different. I think there's a better understanding. I think the kid- Guys are allowed to show their emotion a little more now.
You know what I mean?
It's different.
I think there's a better understanding.
I think the kid-
It would be great if you just started crying right there.
Can you cry on cue?
How about this, last movie you cried at?
Ooh, last movie I think Ghost.
Wow. Ghost.
Ghost dad or ghost?
Ghost with fucking Patrick Swayze.
Great call, but have you seen Ghost dad with Cosby?
Yeah, it's sad too.
It is sad.
It's sad.
Yeah, because you're like, man, those women have no idea.
He's like, yeah, that's creepy if I'm a ghost when they drug you.
It's not rape if I'm a ghost.
You're like, wait, what?
Is that actual dialogue from the movie Ghost?
But no, Ghost with, sorry, Ghost.
With Swayze.
With Swayze.
Unreal, dude.
I love a Swayze movie.
Swayze was unbelievable, which by the way, my wife just
showed me Dirty Dancing.
Yeah.
Home puts baby in a corner, buddy.
Yo, great line, but also he was like 37.
She's like 18, right?
It's like there's a pretty significant age gap. Were they, was like 37. She's like 18, right?
It's like, there's a pretty significant age gap.
Were they, was he 37?
He looked like a good 37 though.
Isn't it all about like abortion too?
Yeah, they just about, I don't know, Kyle, dude.
What the fuck, dude, Kyle.
January 6th, bro.
January 6th, guys.
This guy's just sitting on an abortion comic.
I don't want to throw out the conversation,
but any interest in looking at MySpace Tom's Instagram?
1000%. This is Instagram. Wait, this is his now. I told you he just takes cool pictures. He's like Dan Bilzerian
What if Tom money though with money? No Dan's got some cash, but it's probably daddy's money. This is all AI
I saw Dan at the comedy school. This is all real, bro. I watched a behind-the-scene thing on it wait amazing if Tom's
Picture. Oh my God. AI.
This actually would make, make me be a huge fan of Tom.
If this is definitely, that's a probably a real picture. I think real posted all AI
pictures of like him, let's say like with like wings in Cabo.
And he was like spreading my wings on vacay, but he,
but then people would be like fake. And then he'd like, but he acted like it was real,
like, but he posted severe, like a lot of these are fake.
I'm telling you, these are all real.
He's playing games with digital photography here.
Oh, so he's putting just massive filters on this.
Yeah, yeah.
So he's traveling the world now, good for Tom.
Like that would be a crazy life though.
He basically got this whole thing kicked off.
Did you?
I had a MySpace.
Oh, I love MySpace.
Did the NFL, how were they treating it at that time?
Well, I wasn't in the league yet.
No, you weren't in the league yet.
I was, when I got to the league.
You were a Facebook baby.
I was a MySpace baby.
Yeah.
In like high school and then you had to get the,
you had to have an EDU to get to Facebook.
I was during that transition and I lived in the Bay Area.
So I was right there.
Whoa.
And so, you know, when I got to the league, I think I was like the first and I lived in the Bay Area so I was right there. Whoa, and so
You know when I got to league I think I was like the first or first of like three dudes on Instagram in the locker room What were you posting like pictures that like fucking your me nice hotel or something?
Nobody knew what those yeah food
Yeah, and like it was it was crazy and now it was so like not to look back on it
I remember all the the veterans they all look at the younger dudes those times like get off your fucking phone kid
You know what? I mean? It was
You're always on your phone
And now you look into a locker room the first thing every dude does when they get out of meeting or they go right to their
Locker right to their phone and no one's like congregating to each other one's on their phone
You know, it's just crazy how times have changed They go right to their locker, right to their phone, and no one's congregating to each other. Everyone's on their phone.
It's just crazy how times have changed.
Does that affect the camaraderie,
or is that just you find other ways to connect?
I think the camaraderie has changed according to like,
because guys could be communicating,
but they're communicating right next to each other
through their phone on a group chat probably,
or like a fucking Instagram share list,
you know what I mean?
Or like they're sharing stuff.
It's just different, it's crazy.
When I met Gronk at the Roast a Big Poppy,
you weren't there working.
I wasn't, I wasn't.
Okay, this was, did you hear about that though?
No.
So this was, I dressed up, if you look up,
actually Adam Ray Roast a Big Poppy,
some pictures might pop up.
I dressed up in full makeup as this like 80 year old
comedian from New York, and like diehard Yankees fan.
It was big Poppy though, was being roasted.
Yeah, there's a-
Yeah, right there.
Pedroia was there, Gronk.
Oh, Petey, laser show.
Oh yeah, dude.
I go, one of the jokes, I go,
Dustin Pedroia is here, Dustin obviously plays second base
but his most natural position is dancing next to a pot
of gold at the end of a rainbow.
You short fuck
I mean that actually oh yeah
bottle women's queefs after yoga
Autistic kid I knew who came around a bag of lucky charms It was just Dustin Pedroia. Yeah, that's right. God, fuck you. The average SAT score of a Boston fan is,
hey, I had to work at the deli that day.
Anthony Mackie's here.
Give it up for Anthony Mackie.
Yeah, so it was Anthony Mackie, Burr, Josh Wolf, Sarah Tiana,
and Poppy was lit, dude.
He got slippery.
But anyway, so I met Gronk, and Gronk,
right before he goes out, was like talking to me
as if I was an old man.
And then at some point, I just go, because I was just trying to be in character.
Because before we went and did that, we ran our jokes the night before at this
comedy club called Laugh Boston.
It was me, Bill Burr, Josh Wolfe, Anthony Mackie.
And Burr's like, so you're going to dress up like Babe Ruth or some shit?
I was like, just watch, Bill.
It's going to be great.
Next day, we're in the lobby getting ready to walk over to House of Blues next to
Fenway.
And Bill's in the lobby.
I was like, oh, it's perfect, I gotta go test this out.
So I walk up, I go, hey, Bill Burr, big fan.
He goes, thanks, buddy.
And it kinda turns away, I was like,
oh, shit, it's not me.
So then I go, hey, I just started watching your cartoon,
F is for family, it's pretty good.
He goes, oh, thanks.
I go, yeah, it's no Simpsons, I'll tell you that much.
And he goes, what's that, bud?
I go, yeah, I got a few notes for you,
you got a few minutes?
And he goes, buddy, fuck off. And you're like in my face, and I go, Bill, it's Adam. And he goes, what? I go, yeah, I got a few notes for you. You got a few minutes? And he goes, buddy, fuck off. And you're like in my face and I go, Bill, it's Adam.
And he goes, what?
I go, it's Adam.
He goes, holy fucking shit, dude.
And he just couldn't take his eyes off me
the rest of the night.
And so then I went up to Gronk and same thing was like,
I was like, oh, Gronk, big fan, big fan.
I go, yeah, if you're not doing anything,
maybe we got a double team of Hooters waitress.
And Gronk was like, yeah, rain check, man.
And then I was like, Gronk, my name's Adam Ray.
I'm like 35.
And he was like, oh shit, you know? And then he comes up, he was like, yeah, rain tech, man. And then I was like, Croc, my name's Adam Ray. I'm like 35. And he was like, oh shit, you know?
And then he comes up, he was like,
hey dude, can I run some jokes by you?
And he had this joke that he wanted to remind me about
titty fucking Josh Wolfe's wife after shitting on our chat.
Can you curse on the show?
Is it too late to ask?
All right.
And this is just all bleeped.
And so I was like, and I started, he goes,
so, okay, so I'm teetering fucking Joshua's wife.
And then, but I know, sure, and then a teetering fucker.
And I go, what's the joke?
And he goes, well, that's what I need help with.
I go, you know what, dude, just say that verbatim
and you'll be golden.
And he was like, it's funny, right?
I go, it's something.
And then he went out there, and honestly,
he opened with it, and it fucking bombed, but then also got laughs.
But then he saved it by being just charismatic swagger
Phil Gronk.
And he does his fucking.
He just goes, fuck you guys.
I thought that was funny.
And everybody starts laughing, dude.
And immediately won the room over.
You know what I'm saying?
Authenticity will always do that.
1,000%.
But the reason I bring all that up, sorry,
long way to get to, he I asked him at one point
You know always like trying to selfishly get a couple real football fan questions in and I'm like hey
Are you um?
I think I asked like
Something about the season and then and then that kind of parlayed to like are you guys all?
Buds or you just like buds with only the people in your you know defense and an offensive line obviously and QB
But like he goes everyone's cool with each other. He goes,
but it definitely is more compartmentalized than you would think. Yeah.
He goes, it's not like a basketball team or even a baseball team. Like we're,
everyone's kind of with their groups and you come together on Sundays. Yeah.
Is it? Yeah. I mean, that kind of was eyeopening cause I was like, Oh,
he's like, yeah, me and like offense and Tom, like we're, you know, but we spend more time together. like, oh. He's like, yeah, me and offense and Tom, we're,
but we spend more time together.
But he's like, and then there's obviously players on defense
that maybe you become homies with,
that you kick it with outside.
But you're really hanging with the people
that you're mostly jamming with, right?
Well, yeah.
It's all time distribution.
And your majority of your time is with the offensive guys.
Because when you get into work,
there's a 45 minute team meeting usually,
at least where we were at, with the whole team.
And then you break up into offense and defense.
You have another 30 to 45 minute just offense, defense
being addressed by the coordinators.
And then after that, you get divided into your position
group, and then you install and go over techniques. So the majority of the time, you're into your position group and then you install and go over techniques.
So the majority of the time you're with like
your position group and your offense
or your side of the ball.
So that's usually how it goes.
There is times where you cross over and you'll see,
the fun of the whole thing is when you see
the defensive guys in like the hallway
or you'll walk by their room and you get out
of meetings early and it's like class,
you're like fucking with them on their end meeting.
There's a lot of comradery with that.
So you're a comic.
I'm a comic.
I've been doing, dude.
How long you been doing it?
Bro, as long as you've been doing transitions.
No, I've been doing it 18 years, baby.
Six months.
Six months, yeah.
No.
Your question is, a good one.
18 years stand-up, started in 2007, left Seattle 2001.
That's what I wanted to get into.
What's it like growing up in the Pacific Northwest?
Can I finish my fucking storage rules and I'll tell you?
I'm joking dude.
Growing up in the Pacific Northwest world,
I mean, you've been to Seattle.
I mean, probably, do you, and then I'll get back to where I'm joking, dude. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest ruled. I mean, you've been to Seattle. I mean, probably.
And then I'll get back to where I'm from.
When you would visit a city on the road,
probably the same way a comic visits it.
Obviously, I'm going to Toronto this weekend.
So I'll have, you know, it's Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
So I'll have a few days to explore a little bit.
But you guys usually, what, for a Sunday game,
go on Friday, sometimes Saturday? So if it's a West Coast. But you guys usually what, like for Sunday game going Friday, sometimes Saturday?
So if it's a West Coast game coming from the East Coast,
we'll go there on a Friday.
OK.
And you have maybe then one night to, but not really,
because you got curfew.
So you're not really seeing the city other than the stadium.
So I actually got to see the city of Seattle,
because we played them during COVID.
And that was when the city was shut down.
You remember? Remember, get get your vaccine by the way.
Still got them.
You don't have to get Johnson, Madron or, or, or Pfizer.
You can get, go to Costco and get the Kirkland brand.
Bring those replacement reps back.
So we played them in 2020. And it was completely closed out, but I had to, I was injured
and I was playing through it. 179 yards baby. No, but I said, no way. I had to, me and my trainer,
this Australian dude, we had to go, we went on a walk to keep my leg warm because it was a weird situation
where we traveled on a different day
and the plane and the long knit.
So I actually walked how beautiful
and got to see how beautiful Seattle was.
It reminded me a lot of Vancouver.
Totally.
It's like the same cities.
They're synonymous.
Insanely beautiful.
Yes.
People compare it to San Francisco a decent amount
just because I guess the hills and peaks and valleys
and weather being nice in pockets.
But it rules.
I mean, I left in 01, went to LA for acting school at USC,
was there during the Pete Carroll Trojan War years.
I mean, you're talking about a college football
team that was da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Were you there every time then and then and then and then and then and then.
Were you there every time you every day?
Bananas dude, the tailgates were wild.
I was in a pie the Jew frat and we would walk over.
I lived in the house my sophomore junior or
sophomore senior studied abroad my junior and but dude it was from liner to
Linda White to to Duane Jarrett to Mike Williams to,
um, you know, uh, Reggie Bush, obviously Reggie Bush was, uh, parable to growing up with
King of the junior to where it was like, every time you went to the stadium ballpark, whatever
you're like, Oh, I'm about to see probably a potential, uh, once in a lifetime play.
And um, the games were awesome.
We were just so dominant that it was really fun.
I mean, you know what that's like, where people just show up
and you just expect to beat the fuck out of everybody.
Yeah.
And being in LA, ruled close to home.
Growing up in Seattle was awesome.
And I mean, I got more into football,
I'd say, once the Sonics left.
And what year is that?
2007, 2008.
That's crazy.
Wow, dude. That's crazy.
Wow.
What's your hierarchy of, so were the Sonics one?
So what's your hierarchy of Seattle sports?
What was that?
Seattle sports was probably definitely Supes, Sonics, the Mariners.
I like, I like the Seahawks.
I mean, I definitely, you know, I didn't have a Rick Meyer jersey, but I, Chris Ward, I
thought was the shit. When Holmgren came in, that really was like-
That was fun.
That was fun.
And it like-
Sean Alexander.
Bro, I mean-
Hasselback.
Then he went on the mat and cover and got injured.
Largent, you can't-
The Godfather.
Yeah, a lot of good players.
Joey Galloway was a stud for a bit.
Yeah.
Played with him.
For real?
Yeah, he played with the Patriots when I was a kid. We traded for him. He was still ripping it at that point, right? Dude, he played with the Patriots. Oh yeah. We traded for him.
He was still ripping it at that point, right?
Dude, he was like 35, he could still run.
Cool.
He was, remember there was always the talks about
like he ran like a 4-1.
Yeah.
But it was never shown or anything.
He was like lightning.
He was cool.
Yeah, he was fast as shit.
He was the guy that we like hung our hand on for a while.
Yeah.
And then- Sean Kemp fucking dunking on everyone fucking Duncan. I just went to Seattle and did this.
We'll be able to my YouTube in probably three weeks, but I got to, uh,
play in the Seahawk charity basketball games at climate pledge, our new arena.
And, um, cliff, Avril, Mike Bennett, Doug Baldwin started this organization called
champions of change. And so, um, I played in the first game and coaches of my team
were Sean, Kevin, Gary Payton coaches. The other team were Sue bird, champions of change. And so I played in the first game and coaches of my team
were Sean, Kevin, Gary Payton.
Coaches of the other team were Sue Bird, Marshawn Lynch,
and Richard Sherman's playing, and Jamal Crawford,
Isaiah Thomas, I mean, and then fucking,
quick fat over here.
And it was insane.
And I mean, like, so fun.
So then I got to befriend Kemp and Payton.
They've come to a bunch of my shows.
Kemp did the Dr. Phil Live in Seattle.
And so I got in their ear enough to be like, guys,
we should do a live podcast.
I've watched you guys do enough separately and together for like,
midday, just NBA.
They did an NBA TV interview that was cool.
But getting to know them, I'm like, you guys are loose.
You guys are cool.
You tell stories to me.
Sean Kemp after the Dr. Phil Live, we walked around.
We went to his Kemp cannabis store
and then sparked a couple of blunts
and walked around downtown Seattle.
And he just asked me comedy questions
and then told NBA stories.
And it was like one of the greatest days of my life.
That's a fun night.
Oh, it was awesome.
Walking in Seattle with Kemp.
Bro, this is like two in the afternoon.
So like the nighttime I was asleep by six,
but like it was, I was fucking, hey, I've been there.
And so we were just like, we were, we were down
for the count, but, but, so I got them to do a show
on 420 in Seattle.
We did it last week and it was about an,
about an 80 minute chat.
And it was like, awesome, dude.
I mean, we, we had a bunch of Seattle basketball shit
about, you know, them, you know, going to Nirvana concerts
and, and you know, playing in like, you know, park games
on the weekends to get more minutes against, you know, just sad white dudes and, and talking about and you know playing in like you know park games on the weekends to get more minutes against you know just sad white dudes and and talking
about you know just it was awesome and talking about their their their alley
oop days and but then also about the NBA now and like Bronnie LeBron and just all
that shit but um you had also a looser chat you know like they we were smoking
and drinking yeah they you know I see that like it's just so cool I've been to
a few your things and you been to a few of your things
and you do have a lot of crossover with athletes.
Now, when did you find, like, were you the funny kid
when you were a kid in Seattle?
Like, when did you know you wanted to be a comic?
Or did you go into acting school,
want to become a dramatic actor?
Yes.
And then fucking, you're like,
mm, maybe I like funny, cause it's money.
Totally.
I mean, I did all the plays in high school.
I quit football my sophomore year high school to play Danny Zuko in Greece.
And that's when I think, you know, I was, I started offensive line defensive line.
I was a sophomore.
Danny.
What's that?
You were Danny in Greece?
Yeah.
Grease lining, baby.
Go Grease lining.
Oh man.
I watched the real Grease movie like probably a thousand times just to get
that just to get that shit.
And it was awesome.
And I mean, if I had more balls, I probably could have just cleaned up with like some
senior girls because they I mean, doing the plays were a big deal in high school.
And I would go all the time as a kid, we would take field trips to see the plays.
So it was such a big deal and it was always something like,
oh fun to do.
And then I started getting into it and I was like,
oh, this is really fun.
Maybe this is what I wanna do in college post school.
And I'm playing football and the coach made me
sophomore captain, doing all the summer weightlifting
and it just, all the camps getting pretty big,
as big as you can for a six one Jew.
And then offensive lineman who was was a senior, got injured.
So he's like, you're going to start.
And varsity this year.
So he's a sophomore.
And then I'm just going through the summer.
And the guy who was directing the plays called me
and was like, I'm not supposed to do this.
But we're going to do Greece.
I just want to make sure you're auditioning,
because I think you'd be a great Danny.
The only other guy that I think.
And there wasn't a ton of people doing the plays. There was probably 50 people who were auditioning because I think you'd be a great Danny. The only other guy that I think, and there wasn't like a ton of people doing
the plays, there's probably 50 people who auditioned for everything and
there'd be about 20 to 25 kids.
But the only other guy that was auditioning to be Danny Zuko was this Korean
guy named Danny Park.
And the director was like, I'm not trying to play favorites, but
you've got a pretty good shot.
Danny is a gay Korean who doesn't have the Zuko swagger.
And I'm like, all right.
So I'm talking to my mom, my single mom,
and she's like, you got to do what makes you happy.
Do you want to play football?
I was like, if I play football,
I think I'd be doing it to please the coach
and not do what I want to do.
And she goes, well, there you go.
Don't live your life to please other people.
You can't, you got to do what you want to do,
especially right now.
This is going to be a, you know, a turning point maybe.
And also I was like, I'm not going to go pro.
You just know at a certain point, right?
Like you probably, at what point did you go,
I'm probably gonna go pro.
Until I got there.
For real?
I was always focused on what was on my plate at that time.
I had to overcome a lot of shit.
Good answer.
That's bullshit.
That's bullshit.
You didn't have a fucking one moment in high school
where you were like, dude, let's go.
No, because there was always a guy
that was supposed to be better.
Like I was always like trying to prove that I belonged.
OK.
It was weak.
I don't know.
But it got me to where I'm at.
It worked out though.
It worked.
So you always had a chip on your shoulder?
Always.
Would you almost say to young athletes, like that is the move?
Obviously everyone's path is different.
But if you were to give advice, you'd be like?
I think the move is focus.
And keeping the main thing the main thing. If you can focus,
because if you really focus on trying to improve your game,
and that means like doing everything in your possibility,
finding out from a coach, finding out from a former player,
finding out from a peer,
what do you have to do to work or to get better?
And work hard at that, and that's how improvement comes. But you have to do to work or to get better and work hard at that and that's how improvement comes.
But you have to be focused to do it.
Like everyone knows what to do
to get to where they wanna do.
But they don't always do it.
You know what I mean?
You know if you have a big performance tomorrow night,
you can't go to the fucking party till 5 a.m.
drink beers and go, you know what I mean?
So it's making choices that lead up to certain moments.
So ultimately it comes down to focus.
That's what it is.
Yeah, I mean, it's a kind of a simple answer, but it really is the move.
It is.
Yeah.
Like sacrifice, that's because of focus.
You're focusing on what you really want. Sacrifice is also a big part of it.
Have you ever taught a, you'd be a great PE teacher,
by the way, in like a single, in a single cam comedy.
I'm just realizing you reminded me of my high school
PE teacher named Mr. Supplin, who definitely hooked up
with a couple of the kids.
Not saying you did, but I'm saying that like you have,
he was cool as fuck, Jules, and you've got like a real,
he was likable and we all wanted to be buds with him and party with him.
You're actually cooler than he was.
You're also in way better shape.
He like, but he had that like, he was probably 46.
It's kind of the veteran type guy.
He's a good veteran.
Bro, he just had a way of like, it'll like smirk too,
and he definitely was drunk a few days.
I remember him being like, coming in and being like.
So today we're talking about,
well actually, what do you guys wanna talk about?
Let's open it up to, let's open it up.
Did anybody, oh, would I do this again?
What did I do? What did I, what didn't, what didn't I do? He was. How many times did you do
that in the fucking boys locker room and him almost coming in and watching you do it? Bro,
I impersonated him a handful of times. I impersonated our basketball coach a lot
and got in trouble a few times. But that's actually how I started doing, I would impersonate friends and
teachers when I was in elementary school.
And that's where the comedy started.
Probably, yeah.
I think it was seeing, it just came kind of easy to make buddies laugh.
And I've said this before, but being a big kid, get teased a lot.
And then all of a sudden I started to make people laugh and
I was not the fat kid, I was the funny kid.
So then it was like, oh, well, this is a win-win.
I'm feeling good, because I'm making people laugh
and they're not teasing me anymore.
So I'm gonna keep chasing that.
And that's, so shout out to Kellogg's Pop Tarts,
because without double fisting you guys,
I wouldn't have had tits by the fourth grade
or a comedy career.
Yeah, 1000%.
Now, is that where you, but like, I'm really interested.
Is that what you do as a comic?
You pull from like coaches.
Yeah.
And then is that what you do?
I was a funny kid, but I was locked into sports, dude.
If I was like 6'4", even 6'3", dude,
I would have tried to play a small D, 3, maybe D2
for basketball.
I loved it.
I mean, I was all in, dude.
Baseball I was playing too, and then I had to quit
because I was already doing the play.
And I was able to do freshman football and the play,
but the baseball coach was like,
nah, dude, it's one or the other.
So that was a wrap on baseball.
But baseball was always the most stress for me
because it was just a little more anxiety ridden.
It's just you up there, you know,
I was pitching in third base, whatever.
But basketball and football just were so, it just, I do the team sport. I mean, fuck dude. I, I got buddies
who are comics that never played sports and, and don't like them. And I'm like,
I feel bad for you, dude. Even if you liked them, even just so you could feel
like the camaraderie. Yeah, dude, being a locker room is such a special, unique
thing, like for better or for worse, but it's a direct, it's why sports and life
are so intertwined for so many coaches
or the way people talk, life coaches,
which by the way, I have a friend from college
who is now a life coach, God bless her,
life coach already kind of like, I'm a life coach now.
You're like, you were in rehab six months ago, but I get it.
You know, like, oh, really?
You're going to tell me how I should better myself.
You still I don't know if you've thrown all of your crack away.
So but but shout out.
I'm not I almost said her name, but
but she's doing it, but she's got crystals and she's fucking she's got.
She's got a good guy now.
Crystal, we'll be right back.
Keep right here.
But yeah dude, Seattle's a great place to live.
What was the question?
I don't know, I was just talking.
Oh, just the locker room vibe too.
Oh yeah, well I was gonna jump into something.
It's also, in high school, the locker room,
especially with the age group of guys.
Yeah.
You're young, growing young men.
Yes.
And it's like a time where you get to have alone time
around guys that are like you with a lot of testosterone.
Guys are hitting puberty.
Everyone's making jokes.
Everyone's trying to get girls or guys,
whatever you're into.
Sure.
But that's going around, you know what I mean?
And you're getting like other just perspectives and,
and you're getting to see like what you like and don't like
in friends, like you're cut,
cause there's older guys that maybe you want to be buds with.
Yeah.
And then they convince you to like steal some beer.
And then you're like, fuck it.
That was cool.
Maybe. And then, and then they,
but they don't let you take the fall.
If you get caught, you're like, oh, that's cool.
You can be, you can be live on the edge,
but not be a dick about it.
And then you got younger guys that are, you know, that are, yeah, I don't know.
It really is.
You get, you span the gamut as far as like all walks of life.
I mean, you know, people are coming in.
I mean, yeah, there's, there's rich kids, there's poor kids, there's down the middle
and it's, and you know, you get a poor kid who's incredible and then you get a rich
kid who sucks and you're like, but thinks he's a shit.
I mean, you really.
But the locker room is a group of men
that all have a common goal and that's usually to win.
So it doesn't matter where you come from.
That's why sports are great.
That's why sports are great.
So you leave Pacific Northwest.
Go to LA for college.
To go to LA college.
I got a question.
You ever see Linard or Reggie at like a frat party?
Oh yeah, Linard actually came.
I'm friends with Linard too, I want to hear this.
Great kid.
He showed up, I mean, bro, that, I mean, sweet guy.
And a gangster.
I mean, he was our, I mean, the quarterback of a-
But did he think he was the guy?
No, he was real chill.
He was friends-
Come on, Linard, I've seen the pictures.
I mean, he didn't, here's the thing.
He, our friend-
He was a superstar dude. Uh, Lakers were at Colby shack. Um,
we're Rams there. No, they were back in st. Louis, right? Yeah.
But Dodgers were all right. But SC football was huge. King, dude.
They were the first team in LA. And, um, yeah, I mean,
but cause Pete Carroll, God bless him would bring in Snoop and will fail and
McConaughey, all these people to come watch because Pete was like,
just from what I've heard from, uh heard from Peeps that know him well,
was like he wanted to surround the practice,
almost like the way a young college kid will perform
if there's a pretty girl there.
He's like, they definitely will do it even more so
with celebs.
You don't want to fucking eat shit in front of Snoop.
So he'd get these guys
and he also want to make the practices fun
and make them a thing.
But yeah, Lionheart came to our frat party. A lot of them would,
cause our house was set up to where it just gotten remodeled my freshman year.
So it was like, you walked in, he had the kitchen to the right,
a big TV room to the left. And then you walked in and was set up like apartment
style. So you had a big open quad and then you had rooms around the bottom and
rooms on the top. So it was a great party house.
So I walk in one day to a Thursday night party and Lanterns waiting at the
stairs and I walk up and there was some Lannert's waiting at the stairs.
And I walk up, and there's some pledge not
letting him go up the stairs.
And I was like, I go to Lannert.
I go, hey, man.
And Lannert was friends with this guy named Brandon Hans,
who I think was our third or fourth string quarterback.
But they were buds.
And Brandon Hans was friends with a buddy of mine
in the frat.
So Lannert was coming to hang.
And he just was waiting, not trying to big time,
but waiting at the bottom of the stairs,
and I go, are you waiting for somebody?
He's like, yeah, Brandon and Hans.
I go, oh, I'll walk you up.
And I go to the pudge, I go, do you know what this is?
He goes, no.
I go, it's the quarterback of our fucking school, man.
And he was like, oh shit, hey man, big fan, man.
I go, it's too late, Gary.
And it was, yeah, it was, yeah.
So, we go upstairs, and we had like six Garry's in the house and we go upstairs
and Lana was wearing just a big shirt and sweatpants.
I think he did have like three or four girls following behind him.
But you're the quarterback, dude.
Oh, he was chill. He was chill.
And now he's doing a podcast. My boy, Jerry, uh, for, yeah.
Throwbacks, throwback, shout out.
But yeah, he, uh, he was just a god, dude.
And so, SC football is king, I graduate SC,
now I'm just in the throes of LA,
trying to make something out of nothing.
You know, you get a theater degree,
but it's all on YouTube, so it's just like,
stand up, then YouTube hits, so I'm doing sketches,
and I'm auditioning, then I'm working in a casting office.
But when did you feel that you were going to comedy
during this whole thing?
Probably in college, I was like, you know,
obviously the acting program was pretty demanding.
Yeah.
A lot of shows and a lot of drama.
And I definitely still, I mean, Robin Williams is like my guy.
That's the career that I want.
Like, I want to be able to do, like,
This Is Doubtfire to me is a flawless movie
where you're like, oh, you get a brilliant
comedian, but also like a brilliant dramatic actor giving you both sides of the coin.
And that just type of career where I don't know if I would need to do like a saving private
Ryan type movie.
But like, yeah, man, if I, if some, if somebody was like Spielberg saw your fucking your doctor
villain thinks you guys got, you got some chops or whatever it is or I mean I've done some dramatic shit but um and and
definitely feel really probably more comfortable in that than I mean comedy
is just second nature at this point but I want to do it all man I want I mean
the Sandler career is like what I'm building towards where where you can
work with your friends and make things you love yeah dude he literally can't
Rob Schneider
Write me dues big low Nick Schwartz and write me bench warmers, you know, and also and David Spade
I'm gonna put you on my ship because we're buds
You're also great like I know so I have so many people in my world like that
I just need opportunities and it's and that's all it is man and and you just want to make shit
I mean I the dr. Phil show and stand up. It's all great. Grateful touring, it's the shit, but like,
that's what this next year is,
is trying to really take advantage of the exposure
and the momentum and make some shows.
And even though they're harder to come by
and tougher to make, like, you know,
I've created my own good luck to this point.
Like the Dr. Phil stuff came out of, you know,
the actor strike hitting and it was like, wow,
now I don't even have,
you're waiting around to be putting other people's shit,
which just gets old.
I mean, I've been auditioning for 15 plus years,
booked some cool shit, gotten really close on cooler shit,
not gotten it, and at some point you're like,
why am I waiting around?
I feel like I got more to offer creatively
and should be taking it less of this
and more of this, you know?
Pointing being like, why am I not,
they don't wanna put me in their thing, like fuck them.
And it's like, well then make your own shit, man.
And especially in this day and age, you have to do that.
You can't be a one trick pony.
You can, and people still can pop off.
Better be a good trick.
Better be a good trick.
Better be a good trick.
Better pull a fucking rabbit out of that hat.
It's like Coach Belichick.
Oh, is that what he says?
He said you better be,
you either gotta be great at one thing
or you gotta be good at a lot of things.
Fuck, dude.
The more you can do.
Sounds like Yosemite Sam when you just did that impression.
What's that?
The more you can do, as Jules always says,
the more you can do.
Did you say that?
Yeah, I mean, you came in doing, like, what,
I mean, how many things would you say
you were bringing to the table when you got in the league?
I was just signing up.
I was, where do you need me?
Wherever.
And I was playing all the special teams and.
That's how you started, right?
That's how I started covering kicks and returning kicks.
And you were just like, I'm gonna crush this.
Well, you earn your opportunity through your performance
and your preparation.
The more you do it in practice,
the more opportunity you'll earn.
And so, I mean, it's like anything.
It's just fundamental, bringing your hard hat, lunch pill
to work with a purpose, trying to get better.
And if you do that, usually good things happen.
Question from a fan, and speaking for all fans,
did you ever return a punt and in your head go,
don't drop it, don't drop it, don't drop it, don your head go, don't drop it, don't drop it,
don't drop it, don't drop it, don't drop it.
Because I think that every time,
after one guy drops one, I'm like,
he's gotta be thinking that the next time.
You're only human.
So when I first came to New England,
the first practice and training camp,
I came from Kent State and like my senior day,
we had like 800 people at the crowd.
You know what I mean?
The first day of New England training camp,
there's 25,000 people surrounding the practice field
watching.
Bananas.
Chants, people were cheering and I'm trying to catch punts
really for the first time in front of people
and I started dropping them and shit
and they started booing.
Oh.
And Brewski came over, he goes,
hey, don't worry, Rook.
They're just saying my name.
Cause whenever Brew would come, they'd always boo.
He kind of gave me, you know,
are they saying boo or boo-erns?
Boo-erns, sir.
I was saying boo-erns.
That's so, I bet that changed your mentality, right?
Yeah, but what that did was whenever I got stressed,
I would just fall back on work.
Yeah.
So the more prepared you are, the better
you're going to do on the Sunday.
The Sunday was always, you had the answers to the test.
That was the easiest day.
Yeah.
You just got to go take the test a million times at practice.
Love that.
And then subconsciously, all your movements and behaviors
will just come out naturally when the game day comes.
It'll be like deja vu.
Yep.
That was the first trip club I went to in Seattle.
Deja vu, shout out.
Not joking, it was deja vu and Ricks.
Shout out to Ricks.
My buddy Chris DeLeon, we went and I was 18 and he was 17.
But he, you know, Filipino, Filipino dude puts on a hoodie and like does like
a little bit of a Robert De Niro,
they can age themself up like five, six years.
And so we walked in and he just owned the place.
And I remember to this day, he tells a story, he goes,
he goes, you walked over and asked me for 40 bucks,
like three times, because I was like,
dude, this girl Cinnamon, like she really,
she likes me.
Dude, I think she likes, dude, I think she likes,
like I think I'm going to pay for a kid to go to high school.
I think I'm going to buy, I'm going to take her to Costco
and like fill up the cart.
I think like at least once she never gave you the 40 bucks.
You know what that brings me to?
I mean, but the dances were the dances just got shorter.
I remember that every day was like two and a half minutes.
And all of a sudden she was like, OK, so another 40 bucks bucks and you can have the first six seconds of it's all been done by the bare naked ladies.
And you're like, they're not even out yet.
It's 1998, sweetheart. They were 2002 group.
Are you from the future, Cinnamon?
You remember the old Pablo Francisco bit on The Strippers?
I remember watching for him.
Did he do a movie trailer voice for it or what?
No, but he used to do it.
Great comedian though.
I remember watching him early.
Oh yeah.
Early Comedy Central days.
Yes.
And I remember he used to talk about going to The Stripper.
You like ducks?
I like ducks too.
Oh my God.
So funny.
We'll be right back after this quick break.
Hey, my name's Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose.
And I'm excited for my next episode with Khloe Kardashian.
God, I've been through so many things
that at this point I would rather not feel
than feel because feeling is too much for me to handle.
All right, we're ready.
I am Khloe Kardashian.
Khloe Kardashian everybody!
Khloe Kardashian?
No one understands how it's...
I'm not just a TV show.
There would be times that I was like,
I don't even want to go out to the grocery store
because I feel like I know what they're thinking about me.
And that was scary to me
because I've never been in a dark place for that long.
You've always taken care of others.
Have you discovered anything about why you've seen yourself take on that role in so many
relationships in your life?
How do you even find the courage to trust again?
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever

I'm Soledad O'Brien and on my podcast Murder on the Towpath, I'm taking you back to the
1960s.
Mary Pinchot Meyer was a painter who lived in Georgetown in Washington, D.C.
Every day she took a daily walk along the towpath near the E&O Canal.
So when she was killed in a wealthy neighborhood...
She had been shot twice in the head and in the back behind the heart.
The police arrived in a heartbeat. Within 40 minutes, a man named Raymond Crump Jr. was arrested.
He was found nearby, soaking wet, and he was black. Only one woman dared defend him,
civil rights lawyer Dovey Roundtree.
Join me as we unravel this story with a crazy twist,
because what most people didn't know
is that Mary was connected to a very powerful man.
I pledge you that we shall neither commit
nor provoke aggression. John F. Kennedy.

Hello, I'm John Lithgow.
We choose to go to the moon.
I wanna tell you about my new fiction podcast. It's about
Buzz Aldrin, one of the true pioneers of space. You're a great pilot, Buzz. As far
as I'm concerned, the best I've seen. That's the story you think you know. This
is the story you don't. Predisposition to depression, alcohol abuse, and suicide.
We'll see Buzz try to overcome demons...
What do you say, Buzz? Another beer?
...and triumph over addiction.
Who's to you, Buzz Aldrin? Good luck to you.
...and become a true hero.
Buzz and I will proceed into the lunar module.
Not because he conquers space, but because he conquers himself.
But we intercepted a Soviet radio transmission starring me, John Lithgow.
Can you put it through translate the I Heart radio app, Apple podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts.
Let's go back to September 24th, 2012.
Wow, dude.
This is a segment we like to go over the pop culture, what was going on around the time
of the game.
Number one movie, Hotel Transylvania.
Adam Sandler.
Shout out Sandler.
That's my guy, dude.
Who's your, like, who do you look up to?
So clearly Adam Sandler.
Who were your inspirations when you were young?
Bro, Sandler, Jim Carrey, Eddie Murphy, Nutty.
The reason I do characters and, you know,
I've done a bunch on, on Kill Tony and now with the Phil.
Eddie Murphy.
Eddie Murphy, Nutty Professor is such an underrated movie
and he should have won an Academy Award for that.
He played eight different people
and they're all feel like real people, dude.
And, and Martin Lawrence dressed up like a woman,
Tyler Perry, dude, you're like, you're,
you feel like you're and no slight to them.
You feel like you're just watching them in dress up.
Eddie Murphy transforms dude same with Jim Carrey dude as like the Grinch.
Jim Carrey. So Jim Carrey dude I mean even Steve Krall in the office is one of my
favorite thing Larry David, one of my favorite shows of all time got to do an
episode which was Outer Body Experience. I was an uber driver and just him sitting
behind me in the audition twice was like, I mean,
we got into these fights.
The only thing they write down is
like, Larry's going to ask you what his rating is.
You tell him he's a one.
That's all they tell you, and then you just improvise.
So he gets in, and he goes, hey.
And I'm like, kind of a gamble, me picking you up right now.
He's like, what's that?
And then I go, you're a rating man.
And he's like, what, what, what? By the way, I'm a little thrown off.
You didn't offer me gum.
I go, well, you're a one, man.
I don't give ones gum.
I mean, you got in my car.
To be honest with you, man, you got in,
you know, you slammed the door too loud.
He's like, what are you talking about?
This isn't even that nice of a car.
I go, dude, you know, you got in with this like mentality
of like, you do what you want.
You just got this like sucking, fucking thing.
He goes, there's no sucking.
There's no fucking,
this isn't the audition.
That had to be insane.
It was the best.
And so Larry David's definitely a hero.
Eddie Murphy, Chris Farley.
Eddie Murphy in Coming to America
when he changes into those guys
in the barbershop. It's unbelievable.
Oh my gosh.
Those are the best.
You don't see that anymore.
So that's one of the shows
I'm actually trying to get going
as a like scripted slash hybrid
to where it's like, it's this family dinner.
I have this character Jeremy that I do.
It's like this man boy child.
And I did this pilot that's up on my YouTube called Jeremy, where I play three
different characters.
This heavy set, gay hairdresser, then an 80 year old woman who's a medium.
And then this man boy child Jeremy and Ron Funch is in it, David Keckner,
Joel McHale, Tom Lennon and yeah,
the way Eddie would do that even Farley was a big influence.
You know.
Now when you do your impressions, do you like,
when you watch Jim Carrey, like he changes his fucking face.
That's next level, yeah.
Yeah, like you do the same thing when you're doing
like fucking Biden and you're doing all your guys.
Yeah, you got it a little bit, yeah.
Do you study that or like?
For me, I don't consider myself like a true impressionist
where like, you know, there's a friend of mine,
Melissa Villasenor, she was on SNL for a bit.
She like sits down and like listens, like studies.
Like for me, it's either like,
it's not like a one and done, but like I try to do it.
I really feel like I can see people well.
So visually, I can know how to.
So I just kind of started doing that.
And then I would watch some things to try to find.
There's a lot of the eye stuff.
I find a couple things, and the big teeth smile,
and then the smirk was kind of thing.
And then the voice, you wouldn't get as close as you can.
But Will Ferrell's George Bush was so great,
but it wasn't spot on.
No, yeah.
You know?
Zero take. Caliendo's was a more spot on, but Will Farrell's George Bush was so great, but it wasn't spot on. No, yeah, yeah. You know? Zero take.
Caliendo's was a more spot on, but like Will Farrell's
was kind of arguably funnier because it was just
a little bit more cartoony.
But yeah, I try to, the more you can kind of contort,
and getting into the makeup really
helps to get lost in something.
Like when I was up there doing the roast of poppy, I mean,
I was, yeah, I mean, I could have hung out like that guy all night
and walked around Boston in a Yankees jersey
and got into fights.
I'm 80, you're gonna really fuck me up.
I'm 80 years old, suck my dick, cocksucker.
Like I was ready to just do everything.
One More Night by Maroon 5.
One More Night.
Are we Maroon 5 fans still?
I mean, it was the number one song.
How did that go?
I'm thinking of Phil Collins.
Say one more night.
Give me just one more night.
Take it, Kyle.
That's from Tarzan, right?
That's You'll Be in My Heart.
If you want to get me to cry on cue, do that one.
I remember listening to that when my, I think,
eighth grade girlfriend broke up with me.
Thanks for bringing it up.
Erin Domingo, shout out.
She's dating a buddy of mine from high school. They have four kids. I think they it up. Erin Domingo, shout out. Erin.
She's dating a buddy of mine from high school.
They have four kids.
I think they're happy.
She's a life coach.
What's that?
She's a life coach.
Hilarious.
I think she was for a bit.
No, she's a volleyball coach.
I think now she's just mom.
My buddy's a PE teacher.
But they, after she broke up, I would turn on like,
you mean my heart.
Just sit there, let me go.
I just fucking be eating double fisting a brown sugar pop tart.
At least I've got you pop tart.
And then Aaron went and fucking jerked off
my buddy Jess Lacasse, who by the way, Jess, shout out,
I like to say the full name of people.
Jess was this kid in high school that,
I mean, dude, he had the perfect family,
his parents had money, but then he also was like the cooler, we all had this kid that was cooler in fourth grade to where they almost felt like an adult, dude, he had the perfect family. His parents had money. But then he also was like the cooler.
We all this kid that was cooler in fourth grade
to where they almost felt like an adult dude.
Because his brother was in, I think, high school.
We were in elementary school.
And he was this football stud.
And Jess was a bigger dude.
So he just would get roughed up by his brother.
So he came to school in the fourth grade.
The car had some miles on it.
And he told us that his dad admitted Little Caesars.
Hey, not true.
Do we have any way to fact check?
Fuck no.
So we're like, dude, your dad came up with pizza pizza.
He's like, yeah, dude.
One day he was just like, dude, what's our slogan?
Will we make pizza?
Say it again.
Boom, there is pizza pizza.
We were like, what the fuck?
He told us he was having sexual intercourse
in the fourth grade.
Again, no way to fact check. He also just had the swcourse in the fourth grade. Again, no way to fact check.
He also just had the swagger of a fourth grade.
Confidence goes a long way then.
Dude, I remember he told, I think he even told people
he was doing anal in the sixth grade.
I don't know, but it was like,
we can, you know, hit him up on Facebook and find out.
But now he's a big young guy.
But he, but so yeah, that was, so 2012.
So one more night.
Yeah, I think of Phil Collins, but Maroon 5 had their 2012. So one more night. Yeah.
I think it's Phil Collins, but Maroon five had their time.
I hate Phil Collins.
Whoa.
What'd he do to you?
Well, I don't hate Phil Collins.
I just don't like, you remember the end of the air
of the night?
Yes.
I remember we were on like a five game winning streak
and I put that on right before game.
We ended up losing the game.
Never listened to it again.
Phil Collins out.
Well, that sounds like a personal problem.
Why don't you leave fucking Phil out of this? Nah, I heard Phil's kind of a hole too.
Oh no, really?
I don't know. I've heard that.
Is that surprising though?
No, he's such a, he's a British rocker, right?
When you make easy lover, bro, you can be an a-hole.
He's pretty cool though.
Great call, dude.
He's cool.
AP, MVP, I'll take that.
MVP, Johnny Menzel was the Heisman winner.
Johnny football.
Johnny football, man.
You got a crossover him?
Yeah, I saw him in a kill Tony.
We played Dicetl 3 AM. I told him to do a crossover him? Yeah, I saw him in a kill Tony. We played Dice till 3 a.m.
I told him to and I was dressed as.
Sounds about right.
And I told him, I think I was dressed as Dr. Phil
and I go, Johnny, I feel like I'm watching deleted scenes
from a documentary right now, you know?
I was like, I thought you were trying to sober up player.
You know, and he was just like, you know,
here we go baby, you know.
He's a fun guy though, he's a fun guy.
Cool stories, the doc was wild.
You forget how fucking famous he was.
Oh yeah, he was.
He's insane.
I mean, and I don't know if I would, I mean, fuck dude.
It's almost like when you see, you know,
Bieber gets so famous so quick,
you're just like, what would you do, man?
Like, I don't care how, it's almost tough, you know,
to say like, to have the good people
around you to get in your ear and your face
and get you on the right path.
For sure that, you know, always will help.
But like, you're in control, man.
He was in the driver's seat.
LeBron was that famous.
He did all right.
He did fine, man.
We'll be right back after this quick break.

Columbia.
Let's jump into the Packers, Jack.
Give us a little synopsis on this game.
We'll run through on these Packers. These 11-in-5 Packers.
Mike McCarthy in his seventh season. We know he's down in Dallas these days.
Legendary Dom Capers running this season.
Seventh season with them there.
Just two years removed from that Super Bowl win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Were you watching this game
hoping for one or the other? Or did you expect Green Bay?
I think a lot of people did.
You know what? So I was in the AFC at this time.
So very this was a Monday night game
cause it was on ESPN, I believe.
Gruden's recall.
We'd all watch that, but you could care less on who wins.
You're more tied to your division and your conference.
You know, it's very rare that if we're not playing them,
we're not going to see them.
That's right.
You know what I mean?
Once every four years.
That's right.
So like, this is, you're going to Aaron Rodgers play on Monday Night Football though. Did you think like oh, this is a potential
Super Bowl matchup at this point. We did so early game by game, right?
Our coaches kept us so dialed into how shitty we played the week before that we thought we were on thin ice at all
Just like I mean
Doesn't strike me as a guy that even screams. I mean, it strikes me, it strikes me as a guy like-
It doesn't scream, but he kills you with facts,
like that, and knowledge.
He'll embarrass you through like his knowledge of the game.
Like you're gonna loaf that play,
and then he'll go and he'll put on the same play
with LT blowing the guy up saying,
so you're gonna act that way and make that play.
But I've, look at this, this is how it's done.
So like if you bought like, you're playing Monopoly
and he's like, wow, you're really gonna buy
Baltic Avenue right now?
Well, I guess that's your prerogative, huh?
But Atlantic Avenue was wide open
and clearly is gonna bring in more cash flow.
Maybe you're just a big fucking idiot.
He would just do that shit.
He wouldn't say that.
Right, for sure.
But he wouldn't say that you're a big fucking,
he never like really called guys idiots or anything.
I'm disappointing you like a dad?
No, it was more like we're not on this program or like.
Cool. He says asshole a lot in his, when he motherf this program, or like. Cool.
He says asshole a lot in his, when he motherfucks.
You assholes.
Cool.
But it's like old, it's like old guy asshole.
Yeah, get off my lawn.
They call everyone asshole.
You need a little bit of that as a coach, right?
Or do you not?
People used to give Pete Carroll a hard time,
even though I've heard from Mark Sanchez and others
that Pete's gotta fuckin', he's got a switch like anybody.
But like, yeah, more often than not, he's killing it with
kindness and he's trying to be positive than that.
Just the way he does it.
Right.
So and I guess never positive Pete.
Yeah, never positive.
OK, Pete stays jacked and do your job.
Right.
If you think about it like where we were at as an organization,
like it was either Super Bowl or failure.
Wow, dude.
You know, that was when I got there.
When I got there, they already had three Super Bowls.
Yeah.
And then we got into the heat of ours.
So like, it wasn't about how well you did in the win.
It was about the 17 plays we could do 10 times better because when we need those plays
against a better team in a more important situation
or area of the season, that's what we're trying to do.
The whole season is just trying to prepare you
for the postseason, you know, and that's the real dance.
So like, yeah, it's negative, but it's not negative.
It's anyone who's trying to improve something.
You never look at the great things or you never pat on the ass for things you're
expected to do. Right. Because we're all professionals here.
Right. OK, this is what we did wrong.
We need to work this because we're going to see this 15 times next week against
the next opponent. Yeah, that's what we need to do.
Yep. You know what I mean?
I feel like I was just in a Bill Belichick meeting right there.
Yeah, dude, that's awesome.
It's cool how much you can hold onto that,
and you still like it's.
There's also other ways to do it.
And that worked for Bill.
It worked for, and it seems like he was pretty
dialed into once people get brought in,
like who buys in and who doesn't, right?
I'm sure there were guys that were like.
Yeah, but when you're, when your best player,
your most highest paid players, Tom Brady,
who's working the hardest,
it makes everyone else fall in line.
So yeah, Bill, Bill, he's a great coach,
but it's because of the leader.
You looked at Tom first.
No, you just, you had no,
if Tom was gonna get yelled at,
if Tom was gonna be there early and Tom's got a supermodel wife and it can
take a helicopter wherever he wants. But he's still the first one in the last
one. And you're fucking 54 on the roster. Wow. What do you think you're going to
do? Yeah, dude. So, I mean, it's a joint. It's a synergy. Yeah. It's laws by the
head coach. It's the authority by the the sheriff's and that's the players
It needs to be working hand-in-hand
That's what that's what you see with the chiefs Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. I went and watched them practice
You know, there's guys joking around Patrick Mahomes wasn't
Patrick Mahomes was dialed the whole fucking time
Patrick Mahomes in between periods was doing his things that he had to do to get his self ready.
And I guarantee every motherfucker on that team sees that.
Well, you know what I mean?
That's the power of leadership in an organization.
I remember Greg Jennings had a big day.
Yeah, Greg Jennings game.
We watched this game and these Packers teams,
they were fucking good.
They were good, man.
Jordy Nelson.
AJ Hawk.
AJ Hawk.
Klai Matthews.
Cobb was...
Cobb was, I don't think Cobb was on this team.
Charles Woodson, Hall of Famer.
Yeah, was he?
I didn't see him that much in the highlights, though.
Obviously Klai Matthews, right?
Klai Matthews.
Fucking my teammate, Charles Woodson,
who's really good at golf. Hall of Famer, baby.
We just golfed this past year.
I think he was a good golfer.
And a little foreshadowing with this game.
This season, Aaron Rogers led the league in sacks taken at 51. Yeah, we got to
him in this game. I feel like foreshadowing. Yeah. This was, I mean,
just go down the line, dude. I mean, it's, this was the start of the Legion of
Boom when you guys got Irving and, uh, was a fucking mad man, dude. I mean,
dude, just, and it's Sydney Rice was such a, uh, beast gangster. That was our veteran guy,
Doug Baldwin. Just, you know, when talking about, yeah, but this was Tate baby.
Remember a little Tate was a baller. I was bummed that we let him go. Um,
Tate was a baller. I remember we used to train in the off season together.
And I just made plays. He's playmaker dude. He, and he, uh,
and he had a little flare and he talked a little goofy, a little goofy shit, but like what he did, he made plays, backed it up playmaker, dude. And he had a little flair, and he talked a little shit. A little goofy.
A little goofy.
He could talk shit, but like, what he did, he made plays.
Backed it up.
And him with Percy there for a minute was cool.
I'll tell you that leads to that boom, though.
You see, you see.
Bro, it was wild.
Byron Maxwell was just coming into his own.
Maxwell was good.
Jeremy Lane, who was fucking D and you guys up in that bowl
until he fucking went out.
I mean, there are certain Hawks fans that are like,
once Lane broke his fucking arm,
that was the beginning of it.
And I was like, that wasn't it.
There was a lot going on, but he was a,
he was a good guy to have out there.
He tackled Lane.
He had to break that.
He was the one who broke his arm.
Oh, that's right.
I think he tore his ACL too.
It was a bad, cause it was a bad hit.
It's a bad throw.
It was bad play. Yeah. It was a bad play. How about Cam Chancellors getting hit by that guy?
What's that like?
It feels, so when you hit people, you can feel give.
He feels like when you hit a tree.
You know when you hit a tree and you just, it doesn't move.
It's rooted.
Yeah, every morning I start my day by just smacking my head on one.
Yeah, it felt like that.
And also who the low key fucking little.
Give it to me, Earl Thomas.
Torpedo, Earl Thomas.
Yeah, that's right.
Earl Thomas is, he was like a bad-out of the world.
He was like a bad-out of the world.
He was like a bad-out of the world.
He was like a bad-out of the world.
He was like a bad-out of the world.
He was like a bad-out of the world.
He was like a bad-out of the world.
He was like a bad-out of the world.
He was like a bad-out of the world. He was like a bad-out of the world. He was like a bad-out of the world. He was like a bad-out of the world. He was like a bad-out of the world. Yeah, it felt like that and also who the low-key fucking little- Give it to me, Earl Thomas?
...torpedo, Earl Thomas.
Yeah, that's right.
Earl Thomas is, he was like a bat out of hell.
Yeah, man.
He would blow something up even if it was his own teammate.
He didn't care.
He was blowing something up.
Even if it had nothing to do with the play, he was blowing something up.
He was hitting somebody and making them think twice about their weekend plans.
This is when he had dreads too.
I was watching this game because he cut them for us.
Oh, cool. Yeah. I don't think he had them when we played, but this is when he had dreads too. I was watching this game because he cut them for us. Yeah.
I don't think he had them when we played,
but this is when he was young.
They were wild, dude.
They were just-
Marshawn Lynch, we can't talk about money.
Beast mode.
Unbelievable, dude.
Beast mode.
We had every spot covered it.
And we had, you know, getting, you know,
I've heard both sides of the coin about Russ,
but like, you know, you had so many great guys
and then obviously, you know, what helps is, you know, you had so many great guys and then obviously, you know,
what helps is, you know, only a few contracts, right?
So it was like, we paid, I think,
I don't think we paid any,
maybe Sherman had gotten paid at this point or,
but I think they were all on rookie contracts for a minute.
So that's why it was, I think we paid a couple O-line guys.
And then-
Well, didn't John Snyder come from the Packers?
Yes, oh yeah.
So I actually, he's a friend of yours.
Oh, yeah. He took me to lunch.
He's the man.
Oh, when I when I got worked out after my little combine at Kent,
me and him went to lunch and we had like a real cool relationship.
I can't imagine you guys not hitting it off.
Yeah, he was he was a cool dude.
He's very cool.
And he's dialed the fuck in.
He's, you know, he's a huge part of the reason why
this team became what they became
because you hit on Bruce Irving.
You brought in the Legion of Boom Boys.
Browner was like playing into his own.
He was a long, crazy fucking physical corner.
You had Sherm who was a fucking ball hawk.
I mean, that's because of KJ
right as a rookie linebacker in there. Like this whole and this, this was like,
and the red Brian fucking Chris Clemens was wild off. Oh my God. They were
day. Yeah, this game branch. You couldn't move Alan branch. He played with us for
two years and one couple of Superbowls. Alan branch used to write a skateboard,
electric skateboard from the parking lot,
which we had like a, it was probably like a 200 yard walk
and he would get out of his truck.
He put his skateboard down, put his backpack on,
step on his electric thing, zoom in,
go in through the hallways and he's,
you see a 360 pound guy just walking around on an E board
in the hallways, Bill sitting like, what the fuck are we doing?
I gotta save those legs.
Gotta save those legs.
Oh my God.
Yeah, Schneider really is, I mean, him and Pete
were definitely in concert as far as every move they were making.
But even now, they crushed the draft dude.
He's just a football savvy fucking guy, man. I mean, he's a I mean they crush the draft dude. He's just a football savvy fucking guy, man
I mean, he's such a normal dude, but then when you like lock in and talk, you know ball with him
You're just like oh, this is sometimes you know, we'll be hanging and I'm like
How are you running a football franchise and then as soon as we start talking he's like joint and just like, you know
He's just living breathing thinking it but he's been around some of the greats.
I mean, he was he he got to learn from Holmgren how to how to build an organization,
a franchise, you know, and then you go and do.
I think he was with the Niners early on, too, wasn't he?
Didn't he start with the Niners?
I don't know. It's familiar.
Jackie, get us the game lead up of this week three regular season game.
As you mentioned, this is a week three game, both teams coming in one and one
Russell Wilson's third game ever in the NFL.
So this is young, young Russ.
Wow. And the big story heading into this one, of course, the replacement refs,
they were on strike, couldn't come to an agreement.
Their 2005 deal expired in 2011.
Then you had a little bit of the lockout, which hindered some of their negotiations.
But the dispute basically centered around
pension and a little bit of upping some of the salaries which would have amounted to 3.3 million total
Whereas Roger Goodell was making 44 million that year
So there was a little bit of contention there and they wanted to switch the pension
You can't put Raj in the same sense with breath. I know I hate when people do that
Same sense with red. I know I hate when people do that
Comparison shit, that's bullshit Roger Roger Goodell does a lot of shit for the and I'm not trying to be a Roger Homer Anything you're sounding like one. Well, you're gonna see these guys aren't even fucking full-time. That's what the light
Yeah, that was hard to make them full-time
I know that was the NFL is fine without Roger Goodell from a product standpoint. You saw how bad the NFL was with no refs
Yeah, it was bad. I'm talking about from an optics standpoint. I get you love Roger Dodger.
I don't like, hey, I don't hate Raj.
I like Raj.
You like Raj?
I call him Roger, but he seems fine.
Yeah, no, he seems actually, he seems chill.
He takes all the bullets.
He does.
Well, you have to, you're commish.
My buddy, Brad Williams, he's a Broncos fan.
You know guys, no comedian, Brad Williams, hilarious. I always do this. He's a little person. He's a person, but he's, you have to, you're commish. My buddy Brad Williams, he's a Broncos fan. You guys know comedian Brad Williams, hilarious.
I always do this, he's a little person.
He's a person, but he can't get on the couch without help.
But he's, Brad's one of the funniest dudes ever.
Check out his specials.
I think Starfish is the name of it on YouTube.
If you're gonna jab him, I gotta give him a shout out.
But Brad is one of my best buds.
And I've picked him up many times.
We used to do a podcast together
when we're out doing shows. He he just we just did this show at
the Comedy Store last week the goddamn Comedy Jam and me him and Jelly Roller on
stage singing fucking Nickelback and I just go Brad it was the end of show I go
jump and just fucking without even thinking just jumps in my arms I'm
carrying him around the stage but you know we he knows I'm not gonna drop him
we have a fucking built-in rapport he's at the draft and he went up to ask
Gidele a question I think it's at the draft, and he went up to ask Gadel a question.
I think it's on Brad's Instagram.
And he asked a question about the tush push,
and he's like, if you're going to get rid of that,
maybe there's a thing where they throw a little person
over the goal line instead.
And that clip kind of popped off.
And Gadel, you see him laughing really hard
and being a good sport about it.
And then I told Brad to go, watching Gadel walk over to you
and shake your hand.
And it was like, I don't know if it was his first time around a dwarf before, but I did the same
thing when I first met Brad. I was like, can I pet you? Like, do you have all your shots? Like,
it's like a pit bull. You're like, what's the fucking protocol here? So you see Gidele walk
over being like, and Gidele wants to hug him, but he's like, is it rude if I bend down and hug him?
So he just kind of puts his hands out of shoulders. Like he's his dad at a tee ball,
fucking banquet. And he's like rubbing his shoulders. and then you see him get a little Joe Biden.
He's like, maybe I shouldn't do that.
He's like, should I smell his head?
And then you can see Gadel want to pick Brad up.
Here we go.
Yeah, this is it.
See, the handshake's weird.
But if you play the video out, even that woman's like, what is he about to do?
We're about to have to put out some statements tomorrow.
And Gadel was right behind Brad and he almost picked him up,
but then also almost hugged him weird.
And I was like, dude, if he would have picked him up,
that would have been fun.
Brad's gotten picked up before by a guy that wanted to like lion king him and
dropped him actually at a shot and he had severe like back issues for a while.
He's good now, but that's one thing Brad says is like, don't pick me up.
But yeah, dude, I think Gadel is I think Gadel knows what he's doing.
He's look, the game has never been better, right?
So he's doing something right.
Honestly, it's funny you bring up, or Brad brought that up,
because former Texas tech coach Mike Leach actually
rumored to have proposed a play like that.
Oh, really?
Yeah, remember that, Jules?
We were looking at that last week.
Don't you love a good YouTube title?
Gadel wipes booger on Handicap Girl.
I mean, I can't click fast enough.
Oh, my god.
It's almost like when you see, like, there was a video I saw
that said, gorilla has had enough.
And it's a video of a gorilla at this fucking zoo
and a kid's tapping on the glass
and then the gorilla just fires one off.
Like, and by the way, there was a time,
I remember going to the zoo where there was no glass.
So like there's, and this wasn't the first gorilla
to fucking shoot off a load into the stands.
Like, you know, there's a kid walking around
with an eye patch being like,
I remember it was my birthday, it was 1986. And I was, you know, prodding Like, you know there's a kid walking around with an eye patch being like, I remember it was my birthday, it was 1986.
And I was, you know, prodding fucking, you know,
Tim Tebow Jr., or whoever the gorilla was.
And the gorilla, I was on Team Gorilla
when the kid was like poking on the glass.
And then when the gorilla woke up and just was like,
ah, from his nap, I'm like, now I'm Team Kid.
Cause I've been woken up from naps,
but I was never like, mom, I said 20 minutes, you know you know and shot one off but the craziest part about the video is the
fucking by the way the most come I've ever seen out of anything hits the
fucking screen and the kid doesn't even flinch
guys got nervous it was almost just like is that all your steel nerves of steel
might put him in some sort of a like I don't know like a UFC like ring or so he
just or you got a nice little veins or you got a serial killer yeah check who put him in some sort of a, I don't know, like a UFC ring. He just ice in the veins.
Or he got a serial killer.
Yeah.
But he won the Super Bowl this year.
Ravens.
Ravens.
Blackout Bowl, that was when the lights went out in New Orleans.
Cool.
Niners.
That was a good bowl.
Break down this game, Jackie.
Get into this game real fast.
The first half can be summed up with eight straight punts
to start this game.
On Seattle's, yeah.
If you got the over year on Suicide Watch and eight sacks of Aaron Rodgers, the defense was getting to start this game. On Seattle's, yeah. If you got the over year on suicide watch
and eight sacks of Aaron Rodgers,
the defense was getting to him all night.
Chris Clemens, four sacks in the first half.
Irvin had two sacks.
He had two.
This was the frustrating part about having Russ
as a QB is like, he was just so,
but again, first year, right?
He's a rookie. Decent numbers, yeah.
But he, it just was like,
there were a lot of three and outs.
You watched him though, He was springy.
I loved him.
He could run here.
This is when he was young, Russ.
Dougie Baldwin told me once that he and Russ obviously
had an amazing connection, I think, in Doug's last few years.
They set some, I think, offensive record for most TDs.
And then I think Russ might have passed it with Tyler Lockett.
But he was like, it was a little crazy at times
because Russ would
scramble so much that the praise and extend plays.
But Doug's like, dude, my career was on the line
every game because like I'm dialed in,
I'm trying to make a play, I'm scrambling.
But he's like, I didn't know if like somebody
was gonna just come out of nowhere and blast
and take me, take me out.
So like you see a lot of these great plays they made,
but he's like, you know,
there's certain times you're like, can I just run the fucking route?
Maybe you hit me there.
You know, yeah.
Four hundred and thirty six completions between those guys.
Fourth most of any QB receiver duo.
I mean, you can't sleep on that.
So in the second half, seven, nothing at the half.
Green Bay gets two field goals, a touchdown up.
They are up 12-7.
That takes us to the final play that we all know.
The sequence is fourth and 10, eight seconds left.
Seattle has a ball in the green bay 24.
Russ drops back to the 40, lets it fly.
The ball is pretty much intercepted by MD Jennings,
but there's a scrum on the ground,
Golden Tates grabbing for it, all that.
One ref signals touchbackback the other signals touchdown
Call in the fields touchdown. They go out review this thing for like 15 minutes 15 chaos on the field
I remember no one knows what the heck is going on fuck. Are we doing disorganized as they come?
Ultimately national football in the field stands peeps out there
Corporation we got fucking high school teachers as their fucking refs
He was loving it. The multi-billion dollar corporation, we got fucking high school teachers as our fucking refs. Yeah, I'll never forget that shot. Pete was loving it.
And it ends up 14-12.
I can't believe they kept it.
It's crazy.
How'd they keep it?
Wait, so Packers won, I think I saw in the last stat sheet,
you said they won the next nine to 10.
Yeah, yes.
What did we do after this?
You guys beat us this year.
This is when you mad bro came.
Ooh, that was a fun one.
This is when I said you mad bro to Tom. That a fun one. We said you mad bro to Tom.
That was fun.
We went out there.
Everybody loved that.
This is when you guys got your swagger.
It is.
This is honestly a great game to go over.
Week 6 was the you mad bro game only two weeks later.
You got hot at the end of the season.
Week 12 on won all those games.
Kind of 50-50 in between.
This is when we lost to Atlanta in the divisional round.
Which when we were up, I don't know if you remember that,
we were up, we late Marshawn touchdown to go up two.
And then literally two Matt Ryan.
I think there was 38 seconds left, maybe less.
And it was like, all they have to do is get two big plays.
Just stop a big play.
And back to back.
And then they kick the field goal as time expired.
But we went to the Super Bowl the next year.
But it's like, I think we would have gone that year if we won that.
Now, who do you watch these games with?
Is there like a Seattle celebrity group?
Yeah, I mean, Joe McHale is a big Hawks fan.
Rainn Wilson.
Rainn Wilson.
Oh, Rainn Wilson.
Isn't Will Ferrell like him?
Yeah, I think because he's a Pete Carroll guy.
He was a big Pete guy.
Went to SC as well.
And I think Will's got some family in Seattle.
You know, all the athletes and shit.
Are you just watching?
Because you're touring a bunch.
Are you just watching?
I'm usually on the road for the season.
Although this year, now that I've gotten, you know,
Sam Darnold, Mark Sanchez and I used
to have a podcast called Fourth and Forever. It was under the, you know, Sam Darnold, Mark Sanchez, and I used to have a podcast called Fourth and Forever.
It was under the, you know, all the smoke that's in Jackson.
We saw the set of that when you did all the smoke
over in Santa Monica.
We used to.
So our set was across from theirs.
And Showtime Sports was trying to have Mark and I
be the football, all the smoke.
And it was awesome.
And I got us Chris out of the gate.
And then it was going to be, you know, and then we had, you know,
we went to the Superbowl and had Jason Kelsey and, and, uh,
Deshaun Watson and fucking, um, uh, uh,
and then he had to leave early to go get him as a, and then, uh, and, um, no,
and then, uh, and then we got miles Teller before Top Gun was supposed to come
out before COVID. So Mark was pulling people.
I was going to get all these big comedians. It was going to be a real,
I mean, it was awesome.
Mark and I hit it off right out of the gate, both SC guys, both just,
I was making him looser because I'm sitting down with the athletes and
busting balls and immediately kinda like making them feel like,
this isn't gonna be a normal interview like you normally do.
It made Mark more comfy, Mark's X's nose, my eyes and ears of the fans,
but also trying to come in with some decent questions.
And then ultimately Showtime Sports was like, we just want X's and O's.
So they kicked me off and had Mark do it.
I wish I still had this drunken voicemail from Mark being like, I'm not doing it without
you, man.
But he was just getting his broadcast career going.
And I was like, bro, you got to do what's best for you.
And so he did a bunch of one-on-one interviews and was still fine.
It wasn't as fun.
But he's the fucking man.
I love him like a brother.
And he's so good.
And he's just gonna continue to get better.
But he...
I call him Dominic from...
His flow is incredible.
I call him Dominic.
The first guy to do...
His flow.
The first guy in the booth with a man bun.
Totally.
Oh yeah, dude.
I call him Dominic because he reminds me
of kindergarten cop, the bad dad. Oh yeah. My code is he reminds me of a kindergarten cop.
The, the, the bad dad.
Oh my God.
Dominic.
Yeah.
The hair.
What was the guy?
Bro?
Yeah.
He has the hair.
He always talk like this in a real close mountain.
He's a good villain in the native.
Come with your dad, Dominic.
Yeah.
Yeah, dude.
That's a great movie.
That's a great movie.
Maybe Schwarzenegger's not as, oh, there it is too.
That's Mark Sanchez. I'm telling you. Is that what I'm saying? She told me. I mean, that's maybe post-op from Schwarzenegger's, not as, oh, there it is, dude. That's Mark Sanchez.
I'm telling you, is that what I'm saying, Cheeto?
I mean, that's maybe post-op from the surgery,
but yeah, that's-
It's good flow.
If Mark wants to transition, that is, yeah, that is,
yeah, that's Mark, that's, yeah, Markita.
I love Sanchez, he's funny.
He's the man, Sanchez, what a great nickname, too.
Really is, it just rolls off the tongue.
Wait, but Sammy Darnold is now our QB and I met Sam fired up Sam. I just went home to Seattle
and took Sam and his girl out to lunch. It was their first day in Seattle and
we're going to this place and I go, Oh, this is your mall now. And I go, this is
your area and they're I'm fired up, dude. He's I think he's locked the fuck in.
He's pumped. I think like he's got a lot of great weapons. Um, I think he's locked the fuck in. He's pumped. I think he's got a lot of great weapons.
I think having a young coach like McDonald is great.
And it being Mike's second year is huge.
Yeah.
You know, McDonald came out and saw Shane Gillis and I
at the arena in Seattle.
And it was awesome.
And getting to just talk.
And Shane's a big football guy.
So we're all beefing it up.
And just seeing him be like, wanting.
So he just was like, I, you know,
and we just missed the playoffs and he was so fucking like
bummed about it.
But I'm like, dude, Mike, you came in
and kept things moving, dude.
You took over like an era of football and repeat,
and there was really no drop off.
So you have to hang around that.
And he was, he was like, oh, thanks, thanks man.
And I'm, you know, and so sweet about it.
I'm like, yeah, dude, you probably are so in your head
and you want to like crush it for the fans. But like you kept it moving in the right direction
and next year is only going to be better because it's actually now he's going in with a full.
And so for him and Sam to be going in like together like this, I think is pretty great.
1000% Milro from Alabama. That's awesome too.
They say you're going to get him eight to six plays a game.
Bro, they crushed the, I don't know, man.
We have an RDS.
What's your favorite pick in the draft from them?
I mean, Gray Zable, like the fact that he's like,
I'm about to bug a bug at a bush light or whatever he said.
Like he came out of the gate and he was just, we needed O-line help.
I think that's huge.
Yeah, it's always good to get a big boy.
Needs some protection for Sammy.
You got to protect the quarterback.
Yeah.
Just to put a quick bow on this game.
Seattle won 14-12, the outcry afterwards was insane.
Got the quick reinstatement.
This thing came to an end quickly.
Thursday night football, James Derritor and the boys
right there.
King James got in on it.
Twitter went nuts.
Chris Rock.
Quick one from referee Wayne Elliott.
There was also talk that it should've been past interference.
They also used a rule, the simultaneous catch rule
that didn't really apply, and he famously said,
I learned the rule by screwing up the rule.
So I feel like that was, that can be applied
to a lot in life, but yeah.
I'm like Khloe Kardashian, bad day.
Twitter we not.
Bad day to be a replacement ref, yeah.
You know what's bad when Khloe Kardashian's kicking you?
You know what's bad when Khloe takes taking you Chloe takes out the phone to oh man
It's Chloe and her heyday to your heyday. Just all yeah, it's all up in it
Wow a little moment in Twitter history TJ Lang
lineman for the Packers said
Fuck it NFL find me and use the money to pay the regular refs a little piece of history
That was the most retweeted tweet at the time Wow, Troy. Iitman, look at him just being like, these games are a joke.
Just wearing his heart on his sleeve.
Troy's from the top rope, baby.
Oh my God.
Yeah, it was wild.
I mean, they figured it out though.
I mean, look, if it wasn't this game and this play, would have been something else, dude.
This is basically what got the refs paid.
So this is a fucking historical game.
Yeah, so you're welcome.
This is what, so the moment that sticks out the most to you
is clearly the 24-yard Hail Mary.
Yeah, dude, the Hail Mary, as they call it, right?
Hail Mary.
I mean, it will be, look, what's great is that there are,
this definitely, I think, started,
the Hasselback, we're calling heads
and we're taking the ball.
That, I mean, bro.
We're gonna win. We're gonna win.
Yeah, that's like that's like being last of the gang bang and being like, but
she's going home with me fellas and you're like all right, you're last though
dude, you and there's six black guys in front of you. I think you're the odds
are not in your favor. Don't you know? Um, but here for the gang, I believe
yeah, but but you gotta believe is the moral of that story.
So, um, but, uh, but that started the rivalry and this just took it up a notch.
Yeah.
Let's score the game.
Then we got to name the game first, Adam.
So it's the fail Mary, right?
Inaccurate the immaculate inception.
I think they called it too, right?
The inaccurate reception.
Yeah.
Um, but I heard the immaculate inception.
Was that something else that the immaculate reception is also that
might be it.
That was from a Steelers in the seventies.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
Got to be Phil Mary in my mind.
The Phil Mary. It's the Phil Mary game.
Right. Sounds good.
You call it the tape bait.
Ooh, man, it just rhymes.
I don't know if that's a good title, but I like it though.
Well, people remember it as though a couple of plays earlier.
Russell's coming out party. This is pre Sierra. You call pre Sierra. Oh,
this the Russell you got. Yeah, you got pre Sierra. Uh, Russell's coming out
party, uh, RCP, you know, because, you know, this is,
this definitely was like, Oh, this guy's whether or not the call went your way.
I don't know. He escaped. He bombed it out, he gave you a chance. Jesus loves him. How about Jesus
loves you? This was, how about this game was, how about, this was, this was Russell
versus Christ. No, this was, no, this was, this is Christ's coming out party? I
don't know, this was, yeah, whatever, I'll email you something. You gotta pick, you
gotta pick. Russell versus Roger, Oh, yeah. Russ versus Raj.
I want to like chime in, but it's got to be the fail Mary. Right. Like that's like so like that's a Wikipedia page
called the fail Mary.
It's a fail Mary. It's a fail Mary.
Score the game. Is this the greatest game of all time?
Let's score it.
Adam Stakes, zero to ten decimals.
OK, thanks for a 10 because you're talking about final game, final play of the game.
So stakes are always high if there's, you have a chance to win.
Yeah.
Week three regular season game replacement refs.
Well, the rest were there.
We thought the replacement refs would be there all season, right?
So it's okay.
But I think game three, but I think it was rookie quarterbacks first TV debut.
Okay. In a season where I remember the hype around this team
being like, like Hawks, like this fucking,
this is finally the year,
and there was a lot of hype around Russ, ESPN,
you're playing Rogers, you beat the pack,
so stakes are high, dude, you gotta give it 10 on that.
Okay. Hell yeah.
For me, regular season game, do see that it is,
you know,
Aaron Rodgers MVP the year before playing against Russ, new sexy kid, bunch of new stars.
So I'm gonna go with a six.
Wow.
Six.
We had Super Bowls on here, man.
We've had World Cup games.
We had goddamn, you know,
I'm 4.3.
We had World Series.
We had WrestleMania on here.
I can't be given a regular season week three game.
Well, fucking, we go to different Olive Gardens, apparently.
You go to the one in the valley,
I go to the one downtown next to the Magic Johnson theaters.
All right.
Star power, zero to 10.
What was the star power of this game?
People in the crowd, who was on the field, coaches?
Oh yeah, this star power's huge.
You probably got Jay Buhner there.
You probably got Gary Payton.
You got fucking Dave Matthews there.
You got maybe Eddie Vedder makes a stop by.
You got Bill Gates, you know, Paul Allen.
He's got all the fucking nerds up there.
Like everyone, you know, just everyone's up there.
Just like, oh, you know, playing it.
So it's dude. Everyone's having a great time.
Seattle Monday night, Thursday night games, Sunday night.
Wow, dude. I mean, it's the place is electric. It's electric, dude. I mean, it's- The place is electric.
It's electric, dude.
I mean, you know fucking Collinsworth is there.
Or I don't know who was calling this game, Toreko?
Toreko and Gruden.
Gruden, fucking, I miss Gruden on the mic, dude.
Dude, he's so good.
He was always like, he just,
he felt like he was like one fucking vodka soda away
from just saying something he shouldn't.
I tell you what, man.
But he all, I tell you what, man.
Like, Foghorn Laghorn. Dude, did you listen to him after I tell you what man. But he'll, I tell you what man. Like.
Dude, did you listen to him after this?
So we were watching, he goes, I don't know how this,
I guess he came up with it.
He goes, he comes down clearly with the ball
and they gave it to Golden Tate.
Like he was so confused on how to say it.
Yeah.
I mean, it was, yeah, great call though.
Star power.
Star power, I'd say every game, this one probably was at a seven.
Seven?
I would say seven is a good score.
Yeah.
There's certain, I mean, like, NFC championship.
There's a lot of really good football players on this field.
They weren't them yet.
Oh, Star Power, oh, I thought you meant like, everyone.
Yeah, everyone.
Everything.
Well, I mean, look, if it was, I mean,
you have a lot of future stars.
But I mean, they, I mean, dude, I mean look you want to hire if it was put I mean you have a lot of future stars But I mean they I mean dude, I mean every
guy on our defense
Arguably was like the best at their position. They were really good like Legion of boom
They got a fucking by some you know, uh, I say Nathan
Hey, yeah, sir the gameplay of the game that you said you like scoring games in, high
scoring games, the gameplay of this
14 to 13.
Gameplay was a little whack for me
because it's a no for me, dog.
But it 14, 13, 12, 14, 14,
14, 14, 14, 14, 14, 14.
Made them come out and do the extra
point.
You can't.
This was like a little league score
like where like the dads are getting
fucked up in the stands like there's a parent fight at some point they're like it was nine
nothing and they're like just call the game but like one of the moms was like
my son's been practicing all week and she was like you know on the committee
to get like New Jersey so like they kept going so I came back and they came back
gameplay was again Russ this was not his best game.
So offensively, the performance was lacking something.
I'd say gameplay was a six.
Six.
There was a last second play to win the game.
Honestly, for me, I'm going to go 6.9.
Wasn't a clean cut win.
No, but there was also really good defensive play.
That defensive line for both teams.
You're right.
Defensive battle, you're right.
Yeah, I went full Russian judge, three, nine.
Geez, what was I doing?
Russian judge.
Man, I'm sorry guys.
I forgot I scored at that point.
Wow.
Mamma Mia.
And then lastly, we score the name of the game.
Mamma Mia.
Guy says I went full Russian judge
that does a fucking Maggiano's waiter impression.
Oh my, I couldn't believe it.
Hey, I went full Russian, Mama Mia over here.
Anyway, that's my time.
Thanks a lot, Detroit.
God, my Lord.
Holy shit.
I never go three nines.
Jesus.
Come on, what is getting into me?
Now we score the name of the game, the fail Mary,
and how this is culturally. I mean this this game is remembered
Yeah, we're talking about this remember the Titans then remember this
You know and not in that
Crying in a movie bro strong side left side, you know how many times I cry every time I see that

I mean, and when they're in the, and when they go visit him in the hospital and he was
like, go out there and win it for me.
And then they cut to him.
He's watching the game on the little TV and that movie is wild.
Also Denzel just, I mean, you know, incredible.
I was about to do a Denzel, but I don't have it.
I mean, call Jay Farrell.
Yeah.
That movie's great.
Who's the actor that plays the other coach that has to step aside?
Who's coaching like, oh yeah, the guy in Gone In 60 Seconds.
Yeah, he's like just great character actor.
And then not Haley Joel Osment, but they did a year.
Yeah, my quarterback used to date her.
Ryan Gosling in that movie.

Yeah.
Adrian Brody and McConaughey are just
chilling in the outfield.
I saw that too, actually.
Wow, I forgot Brody.
I remember McConaughey.
Jeez.
I saw, I saw, I always watch McConaughey interviews,
and I remember him referencing it once, so.
He, there's probably on YouTube, I did this short-lived podcast
with Chuck Liddell.
A buddy of mine was putting together for me,
and he was like, I think you'd be,
you did the show with Mark, I think you'd be, Chuck's new on the mic. So I was like, yeah, fuck it, let's try it out. We did this short-lived podcast with Chuck Liddell. My buddy, my was putting together for me and he was like, I think you'd be, you did the show with Mark. I think you'd
be Chuck's new on the mic. So I was like, yeah, fuck it. Let's try it out. We did about
10 EPS, but we got to do McConaughey over zoom. I mean, I just ran the show cause I'm
just like, you know, and Chuck was just, you know, was it, did you, did you ever play Sega
game gear? No. And so I was like, Chuck, I got this Matt, when you were doing Dazed and
Confused Chuck is the fucking man by the way. And he got on the show. He
was here. He's the nicest guy I've ever met. He's a big Teddy bear. He fucking, I ran into
him in the street, walked up to the laugh factory one night and he fucking, I mean,
snap my back in nine places and uh, it's just the sweetest guy. And he got, I will say this,
he got so comfy on the mic that I was really bummed it ended. Because when we would do episodes just he and I,
it was as loose as we're talking now.
Anyway, great dude.
But McConaughey told a great story
about Angels in the Outfield.
Quick other McConaughey tangent, we just
did a Dr. Phil Live in Austin at this place called Bass Concert
Hall, which is on UT's campus.
2500 seat theater, sold out.
I'm doing the meet and greet.
My wife comes up and goes, I think Kanye was here.
I go, shut the fuck up.
She's like, yeah.
And then the woman who was like, yeah,
he comes to here a lot for UT stuff,
but like he was here with his family.
Apparently he's a fan and wanted to see the show.
And I was like, fucking.
So I immediately hit him up on Instagram, nothing back.
But he-
All right, all right, all right.
Oh man, dude.
But I'm like, oh dude,
he's one of my favorite actors.
He's a great, he's a guy you wanna hang out with.
1000%.
And he plays that character in every movie.
You wanna have tequila with him,
you also wanna like, you know that if you-
I wanna smoke pot and just pick his brain.
Bro, I wanna get so high with him and be like,
and at some point he'll just be like,
you know the same guy who wrote
the Gummy Bears theme song,
also wrote the movie The Departed?
And you're like, what?
He's like, just kidding, made you look.
He's just seeing your fucking face, man.
You really think the gummy bears guy wrote The Depart,
you know, but he's that cool that you're like,
you also wanna believe.
You would believe anything.

That was extra special. I mean we had Matt rife and cam Patterson
But do they the place the roof blow off when he came out and. I mean, that was extra special. I mean, we had Matt Rife and Cam Patterson, but dude, the place, the roof blew off when he came out.
And having that hype video for you,
we've done that for a few other people.
We did it for, you know, Tom Lennon
from Reno 911 in Austin,
and we did it for Chevy Chase in Chicago
and Adam Devine in San Francisco.
And it's just like a cool way to,
Jelly Roll did it in Nashville,
where it was a surprise.
But you obviously being such a hometown hero
for people there was wild. And then you were so fun to play with.
If you're down to clown dude, that's again, we've only ever had a few people that come on and
just kind of clam up and I have to drive the ship a little bit more.
But you were like, you jumped in and we'd only chatted briefly at the Super Bowl.
So that was pretty cool, man.
It was fun.
I would just go, you got to play the hits.
Yeah, dude.
You just got to play the hits.
Tell the stories they want to hear.
No, but yeah, but we hit, no, but not even though.
I mean, you did a little bit, but it was awesome.
It was, and you're right,
involving the crowd is a big part of the show.
Dude, your crowd work.
You gotta break that fourth wall.
I've got to meet you a few times.
It's been awesome.
Everyone go out and follow Adam Ray

is awesome.
Yeah.
It's time for a little game we call Jack Asks.
It's time for a game. We call Jack asks
Why'd you determine to like really?
Penunciate that correctly this time. Well, I just cuz I misread it and you know, I'm terrible at the prompter
Nailed it bro. Jack. Jack ass. It's a real Jay Leno type type type beat title. It's kind of like jackass
Yeah, how fucking great was that? Oh my God, bro.
Wee Man.
What is this Jackass?
What is this Jackass?
I like Party Boy.
Oh, Chris Pontius is awesome.
I still think we should remake Wild Boys with you and Rob,
but.
Those guys are crazy.
They throw up every episode just like them.
No, man.
I remember when Steve-O for the first time on MTV
swallowed that goldfish and he threw it up, like pull trigger. I was like, oh my god
And then the carts were banned. I mean, I loved those guys. That was that's the only reality TV
I really watched was like jackass and like some of those old like real-world
Oh, yeah. Yeah the best baby. If you are recreating that in your cul-de-sac,
what are you doing?
Oh my god, we were so stupid.
You would never go full jackass,
but you jump into bushes.
Those guys are doing 30 mile an hour carts into a bush,
which, you get hurt.
You get stitches and shit.
Yeah, they have a lot of broken bones.
Imagine if you, Tony Knoxville,
how about him making it a career?
Legend, bro. What a stud.
He's still out there in the game.
Still acting.
I just saw him in the studio the other day.
Oh yeah, he's awesome.
He's awesome.
Yeah, beast.
You know what?
All those guys, I mean, Bam's kind of been up and down,
but I loved his show and his dad and that whole thing.
Imagine if you treated Frank like Bam treated
his dad and mom.
Phil.
Phil in whatever name it was. Uncle Vito. In Uncle Vito. I mom. Phil? Phil and whatever name was he?
Uncle Vito.
And Uncle Vito?
I know.
You think Frank would have any of that?
I tried to do stuff like that, but my dad,
he was nimble and could get me.
Yeah, Phil wasn't easy talking about.
Frank would catch you once and it would be the end of the show.
But at that time in my life, my dad was still young.
Oh, true.
He was spry, baby.
That was 20 years ago.
My dad was 38, 40 or something. What is he 50s? My dad 64
65 20 years ago. He's 45. That's like 20 years of prime like man. One more thing on Jackass.
Something gets lost in the shuffle with Jackass is Spike Jones was heavily involved creatively
and Spike Jones is an insane actor insane director. It's kind of you wouldn't think of him to be in
that group but he was legend, bro
He's all right. Let's do the course up so we can okay
It's time for the chill zone brought to you by Coors light get Coors light delivered straight to your door
visit Coors light comm slash DWN celebrate
Responsibly those mountains are always blue. That's when you know, it's time to be curious boys
Now Jack asks.
Now we do Jack asks.
Here we go Jack what's Jack?
I'm over here thinking about feeling April bro
and Bam Margera busting in there.
I know it took me a minute.
Busted in the bedroom.
Bam was rolling around like a fucking Lamborghini and shit.
Bam, bam.
In like Ohio or something.
Where was they Cincinnati?
Pennsylvania or something?
Yeah Pennsylvania like.
Remember Camp Kill yourself before? Somewhere outside of course. Yeah, I know CKY
Dude, those guys are nuts cuz that was like BAM's brother or something DVDs baby the DVD era whoo
That's when like I was a TV. I had a fucking VHS you go get a skate tape watch the fucking dude
That's where all that shit was cuz on the skate tape. They'd have their fish eyes
Molding your minds bro in between like they're like tricks. They would be doing hella crazy ass shit
I used to watch some of that shit. That's like where Robin big was born. Yeah anyways. What is Jack ass Jack?
This is this is me putting my dog Jack on the lukewarm seat the hot seat not quite the lukewarm
We're talking the would you rather we're talking the the questions that make you think you gotta sit for us. Oh shit
Hmm. What would I do in this situation? Hmm
These are the ones that people want to know like if a hundred men got to fight a fucking silverback gorilla
I literally cut that question. Yeah, we had a hundred Julian Edelman's verse one gorilla
I don't know bro after I see the first Julian Edelman get his arms ripped out
And fucking decapitated.
And then the gorilla starts using the arms as weapons.
And then they run.
Fucking what the fuck?
You gotta have a plan of attack for that.
Yes.
Like it can't be just like every man for himself.
You gotta go in waves.
You gotta try to get eyeballs.
You gotta have people like grabbing dick, poking every pressure point.
If you're at something, you gotta pull hair, poke eyes.
Bite higher.
You may get an eye poke, but as soon as he hits you,
you're dead.
So you gotta get formations.
The other guy, if you see eyes released,
other guy go for eye.
Oh, I like that.
You're always going for like all those,
I don't know, man, I thought about it.
We're fighting dirty, baby.
What does AI say?
You mean look? At this point, just so you know know we're like a week and a half past this trend
I know but I've been thinking about a lot. Well if you want some more information
Thinking about the Roman Empire. It's fucking weird. The Roman Empire is your Roman Empire. It's slightly more topical
I mean, I think they probably did this in the Roman Empire. Although were they getting gorillas?
I don't think they were getting gorillas then. Bro, they were getting like alligators and shit up to Rome.
Yeah, but alligators are easy.
That's- North Africa.
Crocodiles, that's fucking, yeah.
But gorillas you gotta get like deep into Africa.
Bro, dude, I'm on chat CPT over here.
They have rhinos, right?
Rhinos?
I don't believe that.
You just watch gladiator two.
What does the chat CPT say?
Physical comparison, silverback gorilla?
Approximately 400 pounds of muscle can deadlift over 1800 pounds once you got an equinox membership Jesus Christ Jesus
Uh, I think he uses the hex bar just like the straight bar has a bite force of
1300 psi thick skin massive bones freakish strength Julian Edelman on the other hand 510 198
Accurate what's what any fire other hand 510 198 accurate what's
3 let's choose his bite strength bite strength. Oh man gotta be at least a thousand psi. I don't know
His grip strength is good. I know that much a
Lead agility, how do you know that we do the tester bro? We do grip strength. We do the grip strength
I know elite agility toughness and coordination in parentheses as a football player. In real
life too. What does chap GBC say? He is not trained for combat and he is certainly not
trained against a pet strength animals. 100 verse 1, sure 100s a lot, but Julian is still
a human with bones that break and no claws, no fangs. If they swarm perfectly, the Julians
might land some blows, but most likely not enough
to overwhelm the gorilla before many get incapacitated.
The verdict, the gorilla wins in most realistic scenarios.
Anyways, all right, ready?
Are you ready to get on the hot seat?
Jules, the first question in this week's edition of Jack asks, no burgers or no burritos for the rest of your life.
Oh my God.
Talk about how would you rather.
Ooh.
That's tough.
It ain't easy, brother.
That's tough.
You know what I do because I have Taco Tuesday
every fucking Tuesday with my daughter.
Yeah.
It's the same shit,
because she loves Taco Tuesday.
Taco Tuesday. Sometimes I'll save a little in and. It's the same shit. Cause she loves taco Tuesday. Taco Tuesday.
Sometimes I'll save a little in and out sauce.
Ooh, ooh.
And I'll make like a burger taco
with like American cheese
and the Mexican or the Mexican flavored
like ground turkey or whatever.
Right.
So you could make burgers
Through the Mexican
So you're killing burger I might have to kill Wow the star of burger actually I hear that you can scratch the burger itch I can scratch burger it through other shit like if I get a meatloaf
Yeah, like that taco place down the street at escuela. They've got that burger with the pickle in it. Yeah. It gives burger.
That's tough, bro.
That's the kind of ingenuity and out of the box thinking
that it's going to take to beat that gorilla.
I like that.
That's a good answer.
You know, while we're talking about burgers,
I'm happy that the Smash, I love a Smash burger
and I love the toppings on a smash burger
I love that we're getting a rejection of this and we're going back to Thicker Patties
Have we? I've been out. There's a few places that are like going back. Not too thick. You know actually I've
There's enough. I said I've been out of the burger game, but I went to Vancouver
I went to two burger joints forgot the names pretty damn good one was smash one was the other
Went to Tahoe found like a Dutch goose type place,
right in Incline Village, which is like an old burger joint
I used to go to in Menlo Park.
So I went to another burger joint.
Like I haven't been to the bougie like,
or the like hipster smash burger joint in a minute,
or like the trendy this.
Yeah.
I don't know, man. I feel you. I'm going burrito let's do it burritos I like it that's a good I love burritos
same like cuz you when you live when I lived in Boston you get a burger there
you can't get burrito you know this is one place in Boston what no Teresa's market inen that used to be in the gas station, right? No, it's a different place
There's I like police goes over in East Boston. Yeah East Boston's got some spots
They I especially make a burrito every time I order it in
And they go salsa in the burrito. I
Go every time yes also in the burrito? I go every time, yeah, salsa in the burrito.
Call it the Julietto.
I like that, baby.
Well, perfect for the next question.
Is that a segue or what?
Oh my goodness gracious.
I wrote these when I was hungry.
Shout out, Juls.
If there was a Julian Edelman sandwich at a local deli,
what would be on it?
Whitefish.
Capers.
Capers. Cream cheese.
Nah, it'd be pretty boring.
But it's all in the bread.
It's all in the bread.
Dutch Crunch?
It's either Dutch Crunch or sourdough.
I like that.
A sourdough produced in the Bay Area so I get a real sourdough.
None of this bullshit from other areas.
Doesn't taste the same.
None of this sour process.
My jaw needs to be tired by the time I'm done
eating my fucking sandwich, where I'm chewing it so much.
Seriously, that's how you know you got good,
chewy ass sour dough or a good Dutch crunch.
Because Dutch crunch has got that sweet layer
of bread on top, and that's why you get that tiger effect
because they put the same dough but they extra sugar it
and they put it on top and so it cracks at the top
and it gets crunchy but it's also a sweet bread.
So I would start baseline either
sourdough or Dutch crunch but I would go French roll,
probably French sourdough, like a boat in,
like they have really good shit. And then I'd probably go with lettuce, probably French sourdough, like a boat in, like they have really good shit.
And then I'd probably go with lettuce, tomato, pickle,
onion, banana pepper or pepper chini.
Like that.
But dry pepper chini,
we're not gonna fucking soak the bread.
Right, right, right.
I hate soggy bread, I hate it.
And then lettuce, mustard, mayonnaise.
What kind of mustard?
Yellow mustard.
Is the lettuce shredded?
Shredded lettuce?
I like an iceberg crisp cold lettuce.
I like that.
The thinking man's lettuce.
And I like a thin tomato.
It can defend against the sun.
Very thin.
I don't need my tomato to be dripping its guts
all over my goddamn sandwich.
I'm with you.
You're just there for a hint.
Yep.
Heirloom tomato, salt pepper. Ernie. That'd be over my goddamn sandwich. You're just there for a hint. Air loom tomato, salt pepper.
Ernie, that'd be the Ernie sandwich.
And then I would either go with like a
a Salsolito turkey, some kind of turkey
that has kind of like some kind of taste or,
they always have like a Salsolito turkey
at like the delis I go to to or like I don't like peppered
turkey. Oh I love peppered turkey. I like it
but I don't want I want like the one
with like occasion or like a Mexican or
some kind of spice. The fine folks at
Boars Head make a nice salsa lido. Yeah
yeah and then for cheese I'm pretty I'm
pretty low-key with it. Like I like a Havarti or
like a pepper Jack
I
Remember I dated this girl. She was from France. She goes those aren't even cheeses. They have no taste
Like, you know Swiss cheese is distinct and right, you know, I mean? You got to the salt taste, you know, you say
you have the salt taste with it.
But you should have put her on craft.
You just turkey sandwich.
Yeah, but it's the bread.
That's great. It's just a turkey or or I love bologna like
like a below. I like a poor boy like an American with like
bologna, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, bologna,
American cheese.
It's gotta be American cheese.
Like a good German bologna or something.
I like that.
Or like, I don't like mortadella.
Okay.
Because I don't like the fucking olives in there
or the pistachios.
There's a lot going on there.
I like it.
It does like, it takes my, if I want a baloney taste, but I like that.
My mom used to like, Oh, she likes like baloney sandwiches and shit.
So salt and pepper.
She was used to put no mustard mayonnaise for hers.
I like mustard mayonnaise on mine, but you have to have the
salt and pepper on the tomatoes.
I used to, I used to go to it a subway.
They put it on like a round roll baloney.
Yeah.
Back in the day, bro.
I didn't know subway had way back. Round roll, like a bulky roll. Oh, back in the day. Yeah. on like a round roll. Bologna? Yeah back in the day bro. You're getting a round roll, like a bulky roll.
Oh back in the day yeah.
I like the Oscar Meyer.
This is back when the Subway like had a...
The distinct smell.
Yeah.
It's good.
Put that baby on a...
Cut the edges.
Pan to get you a hot dog.
That's right Davey.
Little fry bread.
Sammy, I like that.
How about we move on here Jules for another one.
This is to let the people inside, what you're doing to keep that body looking so
tight. What is your fitness routine like in retirement?
Squat it today. Hey, let's go.
Yeah, you got up three, three, three.
I go I go three. I stay at three fifteen.
I try to squat because if I squat at least once twice a week,
everything else will fall in place.
And then I just walk a lot.
I play golf a lot, but I have to,
the squatting like makes me feel good.
You can mask pain with strength.
So if I keep my legs strong, like,
not stupidly strong, but like if you keep them strong,
I'm usually feeling pretty decent.
But I squat, I'll do like beach workout shit,
I'll hit the abs.
Nice.
I, you know, over our time as professional athlete,
you've done so many different fucking core workouts,
so I can knock out a core workout off of like memory
of one of my A-hole strength coaches
that used to punish us with them.
But like you could do the, I always do like some core.
I'll do like, I can't do, I don't,
I can't bench or anything because my shoulders are fucked.
So like, I try to stay strong with using the dumbbells
and I don't like to get too heavy with it
because I don't want to get too bulky.
But yeah.
Stay boxer-rit.
Yeah, I like to squat.
I mean, then it also keeps you young, you know, and I'll go out and run every once in
a while.
If I put my cleats on, I'll go run at Santa Monica Junior College, community college in
the morning.
I'll see like the kids playing, like the teams will be coming out soccer and stuff.
Shout out Steve Smith, senior and Chad Ostrowska.
But I'll go, I'll sneak over there once in a while
and I'll put, because I can't run without cleats.
Because I have bad feet, I broke my feet,
so I need like structured, like strength
when I'm like running or like working my feet.
But when I go to my daughter's soccer, so I do that,
I'll do some field work here and there,
every once in a while, just to see if I can still do it,
which I can't, and it's very humbling.
And then I walk a bunch.
So I'll take my daughter to practice
and like they'll go through the fundamentals and shit.
And that's like, they'll start doing all those drills
and it's like 45 minutes.
So I'll go walk for one hour.
I'll go straight to the beach and back,
which is like 18 blocks.
And there's like some inclines and stuff.
And I'll like, you know, sometimes I'll do like,
I'll go up the hills backwards and like try to work my quads.
You know, drop my ass and try to get my glutes.
I love that.
People are walking by like, who the fuck is this idiot
Doing stuff like or like lunges and stuff. I'll fuck it up, you know, if I feel like my legs I need something I'll just start doing shit. Nobody knows your own body better than you better. That's tight
How about a little topical one here all in the news right now with the draft just wrapping up if you were Will Campbell
What would you do right now?
Would be your first move Will Campbell I would uh, I
Would try to get Dante Scarnechio's number
Talk to him. I
Say hey coach scar. I'll live and die and protect Drake May, but I need to know how.
I need to know how.
I want you to teach me the way.
He needs to go find fucking Yoda, which Scar is Yoda.
And Dagobah.
And he needs to go.
I was gonna say Mr. Miyagi, but same thing.
Whatever.
And he needs, you know,
cause if he has that opportunity,
or just find, you know, a coach in the
team, you had Doug Morrone, you had coach Morrone with baloney sandwiches, get a
baloney, big baloney guy, or Josh, and really, you know, watch some film and
and just work hard each day and really take this as your, as this is your
life and you could see through his interviews,
that's how he's gonna treat it.
But I would find someone who knows,
who's seen guys in his position succeed
and ask them, how can I?
What do I have to do?
That's what I would do.
Love that.
Logan Mancans is local Logan Logan Mancans
What I would do I would call Logan or you know, I don't think Logan carries a phone
But I'm sure you can get his address and I guarantee if he go to his house at 345 on a snowy day
He'll be he'll be outside shoveling his fucking his big-ass yard. You should intern at Logan Mancans his farm
Yeah, that's that's what he should do.
Grab a lane at the YMCA Nexus guard.
And lights over there somewhere too.
Go do the shootout.
Cause I know he loves to go.
Do the shootout.
He's gonna be at the shootout.
He's gonna be at the shootout.
That light is gonna have Campbell at the shootout.
Guaranteed.
I guarantee that.
Guaranteed.
Like we talk about on dudes,
but it sounds like he's plugged into the Gaineswood Names lore.
I know.
He must have heard the light story.
Yeah.
It's an honor, man.
We love it.
He followed us right away, too.
We love it.
And finally, Jules.
We follow him right away.
Of course.
Okay.

What they get they got Joe Alton. They made the playoffs. Hey, he's a weapon. He's a weapon just like hardball said

He just seems like a cool dude that like is a salt
