Because in the past, we've stayed in some pretty awesome Airbnbs in Europe. Did we've one in France, we've one in Greece, we've actually won in Italy a couple of years ago. Anyway, it just made our trip feel extra special.

Hey, it's your favorite jersey girl, Gia Judice. Welcome to Casual Chaos, where I share my story. This week, I'm sitting down with Vanderpump Rural Star, Sheena Shea. I don't really talk to either of them, if I'm being honest.

There will be an occasional text, one way or the other, from me to Ariana. Maybe a happy birthday from Ariana to me. I think the last time I talked to Tom, it was like, congrats on America's Got Talent. This is a combo you don't want to miss.

We wanted to do something that highlighted our relationship. And what it's like to be siblings. We are a sibling rivalry.

No, no. Sibling reverie. Don't do that with your mouth. Sibling Reveory. That's good. So today, in a short period of time, you're going to be listening to Rob and Chris Grancowski.

Rob, of course, you must know who Rob Grancowski is. One of the great tidings. ends of all time his brother chris just a really amazing guy grew up with five there was five boys in his family it was probably it was a complete chaos i can only imagine you know you'll you'll hear some of the stories but we had so much fun i mean this was one of the more fun episodes honestly that we've had because it was just playtime just laughing and bullshitting and they were so fun but it did i mean i was definitely the girl in this episode it was a lot of boy talk there were some things where i was like you guys

but but no it was so great i mean five boys growing up in a house together what a whirlwind that must have been for mom gronkowski i mean the boys give her so many props and and she was seemed like just such a saint of a mom and and the best part about this episode we came at rob with like brady questions and you know um Brady had left the Patriots and he was in Tampa and we were just sort of getting Rob's take on all of it and he was being very sort of you know diplomatic but yeah he deserves all the money he gets and blah blah and you know because we were trying to get some real shit out of him little did we know little did we know he had already signed a contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to return to the

NFL and play with Tom Brady again. They were sitting on this piece of information, not telling us. And it wasn't even like, oh, a week later or two weeks later, it's literally the next day. Like, we were interviewing them. And then the next morning, we, like, called each other going, what? How did he not tell us? When you listen to this episode, just keep that in mind that these boys are holding this secret. because it was

it was it's fun to listen to it back and know that oh my God he knows man he knows what's happening he knows what a splash this is going to make in the sports community and uh I feel lucky though I feel lucky that we at least got to talk to him and he was holding that secret from us and Ollie you know we're we're football fans we love

we love our football so for us this was a real treat and Chris Chris was on shark tank He has the ice shaker that he created, and he actually sent us over someone. I have to say that I am now personally addicted to my Chris Kronkowski ice shaker. It's a perfectly made device for people who like to mix drinks. And now I have my in bloom company, so all I do is shake my drinks up. So it was like the perfect device. for me but he he's a full entrepreneur business very much the the the business guy and the fam and

apparently the strongest but uh this was a total blast it was just like it was like shooting the shit with my brothers anyway enjoy rob and chris gronkowski the gronks so first of all i will get into this but i just want to say that already your mother is like a saint according to things that I've read all the boys, all the practices. It sounds like she was just constantly going. Oh, yeah. Constantly going. Incredible. And then also on all of these things,

just everyone ask you about what you think about Brady. Oh, yeah. It's just like the number one. That's the number one question. Yeah. And do you actually tell the truth about how you feel about it, or do you have a political answer? Kind of like, it's kind of both.

It's like, it's both. You know, it's a, it's a clean. you know, political answer that gets my, that gets a good statement out there, I feel like. Yeah. Then you got to give it to us, even though I'm sure everybody's heard it already. Oh, I'll give it to you.

I'm going to say right now before you start, I don't buy it. All right, go ahead. You're going to buy this one. Okay. Okay. I've heard it. Yes, I'm excited too.

Yeah. Oh, you may not buy it, actually. I don't want to hype it up. Not like Chris joined in and he's excited to hear it. I don't know. It's just all right. Oh, I got my answers ready. I'm going to make sure they're super political now. Oh, perfect.

Okay, Rob, how do you feel about Tom Brady's trade? Wow, right off the bat. You don't even introduce yourself. You just go right into that. Tom Brady trade. You know, the guy's been working hard. He's gave 20 years of all he's got. You know, he has the right to go on, you know, to check out his options and to be able to move on.

I mean, the guy performed to his highest level possible for the last 20 years. And it's not going to be any different. You know, wherever he goes, he's going to bring it no matter what his age is. And it's going to be entertaining for sure. And he's going to bring it to another high level, I think, until he retires. Mm-hmm. I love that answer. I believe you.

Chris, Chris, do you believe him? Yeah. That was legit. Yeah, thank you. There's no money left in New England. He had to leave. Right. Oh, yeah, that too. Plus, yeah, the guy deserved super pay raises. There's no money left. Thank you, Chris. Now, I'm stealing his answer. So he had to go to Tampa.

So this is really fun. We're really excited to have you guys on. We usually start with where you grew up, what that looked like, what town, what kind of house, how many brothers and sisters. Chris, let's start with you. So we grew up in Buffalo, New York, not New England. like most people think. But yeah, five boys. I was the middle of five. And I was also the shortest. They say the middle is always forgotten and the shortest. So it was a tough combo.

So with that, you know, I had a brawl. We had a brawl every day. It was all out. So that's why we had a brawl because you were the shortest. That's why we brawl. I didn't know that. Well, who's the oldest? So oldest brother is Gordy. So it goes Gordy, Dan, then me, then Rob, and then the youngest is Glenn. And we're all within 10 years. So we're all spaced out about two years. So it was it was Mayhem. We were the house in the neighborhood that everybody came to. It wasn't just us five. It was us five plus, you know, one or two friends as well. Okay. So you got five boys. There's a lot of testosterone happening. Even though your brothers, there is a hierarchy. There is an alpha that has to be developed.

right now you would normally think it was the oldest of course you know when you got youngest oldest when you get to the age where strength everyone's sort of on equal footing was there a hierarchy established with on the five of you guys i would say the hierarchy that it kind of contributed to like whoever was the older brother at the moment so like gore would dominate over dan dan would dominate over chris and chris would dominate over me then i would dominate over my brother it kind It was rare, like, when one brother would skip and, like, go and try and fight, like, the other brother. Like, I never fought with Gord or anything. He was about, he's six years older than me.

So that's kind of, like, a whole totally different class. But, like, Chris and I, we always brawled, like, and he always dominated over me because he was two years older than me. So he was the closest to my age. So, like, we were always together, always doing things together. So that ended up being a fight. Like, when Dan, he's four years older than me and Gord six years older than me, we, I mean, we were doing stuff together, but it wasn't like we're competing versus each other, because Gore, he's 12

when I'm 6, that's just a whole different category. A 6-year-old's not going to be competing with a 12-year-old. So we weren't always like to come together like that. So it was of any brother that was competing with the other one, it kind of always turned into a brawl no matter what it was. I would say it would start off at the mini-stick arena too we had in our basement. That's called knee hockey that other people call it. Oh, yeah.

There was brawls 24-7 from that game. actual physical brawls like like real shit like not just brother's shit just brother's shit exactly it would be a brawl for 20 minutes not like it would be like a quick like who can get the last jab in throw the mini stick at each other it wasn't like a boxing match where we you know you throw the gloves down in your party yeah yeah a couple minutes it was it was get your shot in and run away and get your shot in run away brotherly stuff so wait give me the order real quick again Gordy and Chris Rob, then Glenn

Okay, so Glenn's the baby Yeah Okay That's a lot of brothers You probably And had it Had it Did your dad

Did your dad? How did your dad handle all this? I mean, you know So we had a The rule in the house Was just You'll fight it out But we couldn't punch each other

In the face And we couldn't punch each other In the nuts So anything else went So if you had a problem He'd actually set up the ring And he would call it Zoom Zoom Where he'd give us

a pillow and we run as fast as we could at each other and you just take the other guy down and you know you got into this brawl and then that was it and it was game over after that and then you guys just like you know got some cereal and went about your the rest of your day yeah well then I would eat the cereal because I dominated the brawes the fights and then I would eat the cereal and then I would keep the fight going and then I would take the trumpet I would smash the trumpet over them because I would losing the fight and then I would throw forks at people because I was at the moment. This is true, too.

This is, this sounds wild. That's amazing. Did your mom ever interfere with any of these things? All right. So my mom took care of us. My mom brought us to every sporting event. She had to divide it to make it evenly, like, happen between five of us. So she would find rides for us if she couldn't pick us up.

And she made us food. She made sure we had a meal for every event, before every event, every sporting event we did. She made sure we did all our schoolwork. And then the only time she interfered with our fights, you know, if it got really bad and if it was starting to happen at first, like if we first started fighting. And then after about a year or two, she had a new, if you ask her about it, it's the best answer. She just said she threw us outside and just let us be, let us fight, let us torture each other. And then when we finally run out of the breath and get tired, we would come in and she would have our meal ready for us.

and she would just let us tire each other out and she wouldn't waste her time tiring herself out trying to tell us not to fight anymore. She just gave up. She let it be a little bit like Lord of the Flies. Yes, exactly.

You guys just had to figure out your own way. That's smart though. That's smart. I mean, was she, obviously five boys. Did she want a girl? I mean, was she like, God damn it, like just give me a girl.

Or was she, you know what I mean? Like, I think she kept trying. But, yeah, she claims that it was what it was, you know, she wasn't trying either way. But, yeah, I mean, I think a girl would have helped as well. Is anybody married now? Yeah, so my brother, Dan and I are both married. And both of our first two kids were boys. And then my third, my third is a boy and Dan's third is a girl.

Oh, it is. So one girl. Our first girl of the family. That, well, our family is pretty similar because it's three, boys and me. And then I had two boys. Ollie had two boys. And then we finally had. So mom was always like, I just want a granddaughter. And then Ollie had a little girl in the night. Our thirds were girls. So do you feel like your mom loves to connect to the wives because she gets a little more female energy? Or is she like a boy mom? No, I think she definitely likes to connect with with the wives.

I mean, she's talking to my mom all day, all the time. And just back in. and forth videos of the kids and just talking about everything and my mom loves it. She comes down and she had to feed us a lot because she comes down and feeds my kids and it's just nonstop food. Like the kids just ate and boom, they're eating again, boom, they're eating again. And she kind of has like this magic where she can make them eat no matter what time it is. It's amazing. Oh, that's so great. Okay. So you guys grew up in Buffalo, New York. You're a brood. I mean, you're a team yourself. And, And what was the relationship like with your dad worked, mom sort of was like with the kids?

My father would be at work, working for our family. And my mother was stay-at-home mother. I mean, you have to be with five kids. She made sure we were at every event on time, at our school, at any sporting event that we had going on. And my father would come and he would be the coaches of our team after he was done working. On the weekends, we would be around the house, just all playing together as a family. and it was rare like when you know when we can all get together especially now being all scattered all over the place and stuff but my parents did an excellent job

you know they both had separate roles in raising us but I mean I would say my mother was probably more hands-on with us doing the due to the fact of always being there for us and helping this out but they were excellent and we had we were lucky and blessed to have a great childhood for real we really did What was the house like? Did you guys have space outside to play? Did you share bedrooms? Yeah, it was bunk beds.

So we had, let's see, a four-bedroom house, five boys. So we all, we had bunk beds. There's one room without a bunk bed, but that would always be for the youngest. And then the backyard, we might have been on a quarter acre maybe. And what we did with that was we just turned it into a backyard baseball field. We also had a basement, too. It wasn't big, but we made do, and it didn't matter what it was. We were going to turn it into some kind of game.

So it was just nonstop, you know, different types of competitions. We play anything. We battle in anything. And it was just mayhem at the house. And all five of you were competitive and all five of you were athletic, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it wasn't even just going against each other, too.

It was a lot of it was going against our friends, like our brother's friends for the most part. So, you know, if I couldn't beat up my brother, Dan, I would just go after his friends instead and try to work. It was being. And we would, and then we brag about it. What was your first sport? Like, what was the best, what was your favorite sport when you were kids? Our first one, I would say that we all started off with probably, Chris, wouldn't you say t-ball would be our first sport?

We all started off with baseball. Maybe hockey. Really not hockey? At the same time. Yeah, hockey or baseball. It was either or they were about the same time. But I would say my favorite growing up was definitely, I don't know, hockey. I just loved to play hockey when I was a kid.

It was great. You know, we were on each other's team. Chris and I at one year, I think we wanted all the flyers, remember? Yeah, every year. Yeah, every year. No, that was the only year we played together, though, with hockey. Oh, yeah, yeah. I was always on dance teams.

Yes, you're always in dance team. But hockey was my favorite. I love the action of hockey, especially growing up in Buffalo. I mean, that's what it's all about. That's the number one sport in Buffalo. I would say is hockey and everyone loves it there. Yeah. And then baseball.

And then baseball, yes. Because we didn't start football until like later in our life, like eighth grade-ish, high school-ish, when we started playing football. And then basketball, too, we just played like high school basketball, really, too. Wait, so you didn't start playing football until you guys were in high school? No, eighth grade. Eighth grade. Yeah, middle school. That's wild.

I mean, it's really hard to kind of, you got to play in the Pop Warner League if you're young. But, I mean, my parents thought that was just two. young to start the game of football, which was fine with me. But we always played like backyard football. We always threw paths and stuff. We always played like, you know, flag football with our friends. But we never played the actual, like actual game of football where it's physical with all the equipment until, until seventh grade, we started for the school. The whole fam. Everyone. Basically. All the boys. My old, yeah, Chris. My father never played. He was, he was scared. It was a good story, actually. So he was probably like 6-2,

160 maybe, 180. He's a little twig, and he actually, his senior year, he finally decided to go out to play football because my brother Dan was, he was a stud. And Dan was like 6-5, 235 pounds, and he was a quarterback. So Gord finally decided that, you know, I got to be cool too. I got to go try out for my senior year and play.

So they put him in the paper as like, you know, player to watch and all this stuff. And he went out for one practice. and Dan threw him this laser and it hit his hands. It kind of like stung his hands and it hurt his hands and he quit. So he never played football on.

That was the end of his career right there. And then he, yeah, I mean, he went on to play, you know, baseball. He got a scholarship. He got drafted. But he always, you could tell that he wish, he wishes that he ended up, you know, playing football.

But he didn't really, he's now, you know, six, six, you know, he was about. 240 pounds when he was playing so it uh you know he had the size later on and grew grew into his body later but uh at that time 240 pounds yeah yeah he recently lost like 30 pounds and now he's a little twig again but okay you said 340 right no i said 240 oh yeah is that a lot yeah well depends on what frame it's on yeah is that 240 6 5 is still Big. I mean, it's big. Not really.

Is everyone calling Robb, then? Rob, where are you at now? What are you? How tall are you? 6, 6, 6.7. You know, I got to, you know, six, basketball height.

I'm 6.7. And I'm about 250, 255, depending on the day. Yeah, look. Wait, are you serious? 6.6. 250, baby. Look at that. Oh, God.

Oh, God. So, okay, I want to understand because five boys, I mean, clearly you got into some serious trouble. There's got to be some arrests. Come on. There's got to be a couple arrests. Was there any, like, fights over girls? Was there any kind of, that was my girlfriend three weeks ago, and now she's my brother's girlfriend. Wow. no no fights like that but I mean like I like when I was younger in like eighth grade and my brothers were in high school I would they would have some people over like a little little party and you know in eighth grade you always wanted to peek what was going on with all their brothers so I you know

I would peek outside they'd be in the hot tub and they had some girls in the hot tub and like high school and I always be peeking and next thing you know I would see someone like making out and I would start going crazy like Oh, my gosh. And then I would make you see like a bathing suit come off and I would be going even more crazy. And then sometimes my mom would walk out and catch everyone. And then I hear those stories. I'd be going more crazy. Yeah.

Yeah. But, yeah. So they ruined it all. So then when I got to that age, I couldn't do that stuff because they already did it all and caught. They all got caught. Yeah. Now were you, were you and Chris, like the. tight were you the two you guys tight out of the crew you know you were saying like the age group

sort of mattered you know were you and chris sort of the tight ones it would go like um it kind went like you know gordon and dan would be and then gore would be for college and then it was kind of like me and dan and then dan would leave so kind of just um you know then me and rob and then once i left it was you know rob and glen and uh no more glen yeah he got that was actually four years younger too so must have been so hard. Where's Glenn now? He's here in Dallas with me.

Are you guys super close? Yeah, yeah. Not right now with Corona, but every other time. Yeah, we're all close for sure. We all talk and we all keep in touch with each other. Have you guys been getting on these Zooms at all with everybody just to check in? Yeah, we actually, we had a, this is a great story. So Glenn, with his work, he actually uses a.

different system. That's not Zoom, but he parties on Zoom with everybody. So we're talking about a little earlier where Rob's name says Roberto. Well, Glenn came in to a, we had a big call with muscle tech earlier in the week, and he jumped on, and his party name was still up there when he joined the Zoom meeting. And what's his party name? Oh, man, I think it was something about like chicks in 69 or something. Right. it was it was like box chick 69

oh my gosh oh no yeah you're like yeah but Chris told me the story I was losing my mind I could just think Glenn signing in with that name across the screen

and then you changed it one minute into it that's even funier it's just nuts I mean are you guys at all who you who's your crew Who are you quarantining with? Who gets to hang? Me, my wife and two kids, and my wife's eight months pregnant.

Wow, dude. It's been intense. But Rob, you got brother Gordy was there. I think Camille's there now. Yes, I got my girlfriend. My other brother was here, but he actually, my dad was lonely in Buffalo. He was the only one in his house. So my brother drove up there to be with him for a little bit too.

So I had some brotherly love going on. You got to compete. We have games in the basement. We have a pink pong, pop a shop, basketball. We got air, not air hockey, bubble hockey. So we're competing in all those games. And it was just like the old days growing up. That's so fun.

And how are your kids dealing with it, Chris? Man, how am I dealing with it? Yeah, right. How are you dealing with your kids? I mean, it's a lot. Three-year-old, one-year-old wife also runs a business as well. So the challenge now is kind of setting our schedule to make sense. I'll try to wake up early, get stuff done, and then we kind of swap.

So we're lucky enough to have her mom here as well, and she comes over to help us out a little bit. But that's it, man. I'm sure you guys are in it, too, with the kids. It's a grind. There's definitely grind having them home all day every day. Especially that young. You're in the heat, too. You're in the heat.

or was that just part of your reality? Or do you remember it being sort of all that energy gets leaves and now one's gone then the other's gone I mean how was that? Yeah definitely definitely bummed out like I was saying before I mean you were best friends with older brother until he left so

definitely game changer but if you're lucky enough you got a brother right under you too so you know it kind of just switched focus but now you were the leader now you were the man in the house too so you were able to throw the parties guard that's what our older brother kind of started was the tradition

to throw a party at the house We got our parents left, so we got her to get that too. Ollie and I were really good at that. We were very good at that. Parties that got way out of control, too. So out of hand. I mean, yeah, bad. That one really taught us how to do that.

It was really fun. Yes. But, okay, so did everybody go to college? Yes, yes. We all went to college. Great. Awesome. And did everybody go to college for a sport? Yep.

Yes, we did. Every single brother. Yep. All right. So, so give me the list of sports. So first brother, oldest brother, what sport, what college? Baseball, Jacksonville University. And the second brother? And then the rest, the next sport of football. And all different colleges or anybody go to the same college? So I went to, my brother, Dan, went to Maryland. I started off at Maryland and then I transferred to Arizona and with Rob. So Rob went to Arizona. So him and I went to the Arizona. You mean the party school, Arizona? Yeah, University of Arizona.

So did you, like, play football and just party so hard? Or were you, like, so into football that it was like there was no partying happening? We played football and partied so hard. Yeah, that was it. I mean, that was the play. I mean, there was probably some games we were hungover still. I would party on Thursday nights and then we play on Saturdays. Oh, you're a responsible part of your.

That's responsible. See, you scheduled your partying. Yeah, two days. Yeah, that's what I mean. I was still hung over. One time I partied Thursday night, I was still hung over for the Saturday game. I scored a touchdown, though. Yeah, one of your best games.

Of course you did, Rob. Of course you did. Yeah, thank you. Now, your mom and your dad, I mean, what did they just travel all over the country, seeing all their boys play? Yeah, for years from college and then after as well. So NFL was no easier.

We were also all split up everywhere as well. So, yeah, they got pretty good at it. The Arizona trip from New York was rough. but they liked it. It was good to get out of Buffalo, that's for sure. Yeah. Did they end up getting out of Buffalo? Are they still there?

Dad's still there. My mom went to Fort Myers. So she made a pretty good move. So they're divorced? Yeah, they split up pretty much right after we all got out of the house. So when you guys were growing up, like, who was the first one to start playing football? And what inspired football? I would say we just all love watching the game.

with football. We were Buffalo Bills fans growing up. And then we weren't allowed to play football. We loved playing sports. And my parents wouldn't allow us playing the Pop Warner games. But then my brother Dan, he's the one who actually started off playing football. I was younger. So I went to all his games, watch them all. And I just loved watching the game. I always asked when I could play. And I just had to wait until I got to seventh grade middle school where our team had a, where our school had a team. So Dan inspired us definitely. We loved the game. But I would say that my brother Dan, that played. I would say for Chris and I, we just loved watching him play and loved watching the games and going to the high school games and just seeing him, seeing him out there. So he definitely

inspired us and started off by playing football, but we always loved watching growing up big time and wanted to get involved. Do you think part of the draw to football was out of competition for each other? For me, at least, when, when Dan played, it was just like the coolest thing ever to see him play football. So yeah, kind of how I fell in love with it. He was also, I mean, he was a beast he was huge out there uh six he looked like a man among child uh kids and um when seeing him out there was like man that's so cool i got to do it too and then he got a scholarship too and it was like you know he was the coolest kid in town uh and that's kind of what really really inspired me to play as well our dad did play football as well in college uh but he just never pushed it on us

it was kind of our choice if we wanted to play you know he let us play uh at that point but you know before that it wasn't like hey you guys are gonna grow up playing football it's always our to play. And when did you, Rob, when did you realize or that you were a great baller? You know, right when I came out of my mama. Yeah, I had my, I had my balls in my hand, like a football and I was ready to go. I was stiff on with people. Did you guys go to camp or did you, were you home all the time?

I think we've been to like one or two camps. I mean, it was basically more like, like, oh, well, the cross camp is coming up. go play lacrosse for the weekend at a lacrosse camp up at the neighborhood school or it would be like basketball camp or it would be football camp uh so that's the type of camps we went to i we didn't really go to like the camps that you know that are actual camps like outside like in the woods and stuff it was more like uh sport camps mm-hmm no band camp no no band camp i wish we all did play the trumpet though yeah we did you did you really yeah And the trumpet got passed on.

We had a trumpet. It started with my older brother. And then it got passed on to my second oldest brother and passed on to Chris and passed on to me. And then it was also used as a weapon in the house. So by the time the trumpet got passed to me, it had like 15 dens in it, literally. And I'd be playing it at band class whenever I had class. So I really wish, though, I paid more attention to instruments and musical stuff when I was growing up because, wow, is it so much fun, like knowing how to play? the piano or you know the guitar or anything like that just to produce music you know at that age

i was just so into sports that music and band classes like for the geeks because i was such a jock right did you guys have did you guys have structure in your home like did you have dinner every night and sit down oh dinner was free for all it was uh my mom would just put it out and it was first come first serve eat as much as you want uh every once in a while we would actually sit down as like a family and around the table. But rarely we did that because we were all at sports or my dad was at work. But wow, it was a free for all. Grab and go. Grab as much as you can. Grab other person's plate while they're trying to eat. It was, it was a, it was mayhem. Oh, God. Mom was probably just like, she would probably just like make something put it out. You guys would eat it. She may have to

make something else put it out. You guys would eat it. I mean, if I was in her shoes, then I'd just start buying like lots of cereal. yes she was a she was a saint and i don't know how she did it now now you know like as a kid you're like oh where your sons like you're got like that's you're you got to put it put up with us but now like seeing my brothers have kids and everything i'm like you know when you're young you just think it's normal for your mom to be doing all that but now at this age see my brother go through it with kids and everything i'm like wow that's something special that my mom did was raising us five boys big time i mean imagine imagine the dumps at the gronk house

The dumps. I mean, the dumps. It must have been insane. The shitter must have been just like. But it's what people want to know. No, they don't. No, there's like maybe an eighth of the population that wants to know about that. Trust me, they do.

Yeah, I mean. I mean, everyone thinks it. The part that was worse, I think, was the piss. Because we. Oh, right. Piss everyone. It's everyone for sure. Yeah.

Yeah, it would be. P would be everywhere. Amazing, dude. Oh, that's what we always got yelled at for. Never, like, putting up the toilet seat, never flushing the toilet. There would be peevee everywhere. We're pee-pee heads. Oliver, I remember when you, to get me out of the bathroom, you would just, because

we shared a bathroom. So if he was going to the bathroom, I'd have to, like, brush my teeth or something. I'd come in. And the way that he'd get me to not come into the bathroom was to just spray the entire bathroom. So I never came into the bathroom anytime he was in there. It worked. I knew how to do it.

Hey, were all of you, how many of you guys were actually drafted to various sports? I know you got MLB and then also the NFL. Yeah, three. So let's see, all of them until me. And then our youngest brother, Glenn.

So Rob actually got drafted. We came out together. So I got to see him get drafted. And then I went on drafted. And then Glenn was. it's undrafted as well. So three out of five were actually drafted. Gordy was drafted to 49th round.

So I don't really count that either. Oh, man. I mean, I got a bigger sign of one of us. And then did you guys walk on? I mean, did you try to walk on? Yeah. So what happens is after the draft, you can get picked up as an undrafted team. So I actually, I signed onto the Cowboys probably within three minutes.

after the draft ended. And then from there, it's kind of, you know, you have one shot to make the team kind of deal. And, you know, a guy, a undrafted free agent hadn't made the Cowboys in over 10 years. So I made the starting roster that year. So it was the first time someone made it in over 10 years. Awesome. Cool. You were in business school at the time, right?

Yeah. So I went out. Yeah, I was one of two students on the football team that were in the business school at Arizona. And did you finish? Yeah, I did. I have an accounting degree Well, that's nice I wish I had a degree

in anything Oh, you don't have a degree? No, I never went to college. I used degree. Oh, wow, well, I went and I never graduated, so neither of us have a degree. You got drafted, like, how many years did you play then in college?

I played three years, and then I left early. So all my brothers have a degree besides myself, but my youngest brother, He has two. He, like, graduated with two degrees somehow because he stayed in college for like five years. So, like, he just lended me one of them. So I'm fine now. Is it on your wall?

Yeah. Yeah. Took it off the wall and crossed out his name and put mine. What was draft day like for your family? It was good. I was actually at the draft. And I didn't get picked in the first round. But that was okay because after the day you get picked up, it just feels, you know, fantastic.

You just forget about everything. But it was a lot of fun to be in New York with everyone with the support for my family and everything. And, you know, it's kind of like it's nerve-wrecking at some points, definitely. But when, you know, when it happens and you sign, it's one of the greatest feelings. And was the whole family there where you guys, was everybody with you? Yes. Yes, everyone was there. Yep. So the boys are so competitive, right? We've established that. Everyone knows that in the world.

I mean, but so does that, does that competition, is it always healthy or is there jealousy? You know, is there, fuck, man, I'm better than him. Or, yeah, I'm happy, but God damn it, I wish that was me. I mean, is there any of that between the five of you or the two of you or the three of you, however many? I would say early on, for sure. So when we're young, all day, I mean, if Rob got an award for something, I was like, hell no. You know, we would, we'd pull it out. But as we got older, that completely changed.

Like in high school and then into college, it became more of a support system than anything. So instead of, you know, us going against each other, we were actually playing next to each other. And it turned into, you know, we'd just be out there trying to kill it on the field and then go back and brag to each other about how great our blocks were, how great our hits were on the field and watching film together. So I really went from competition to really, really a support system once we got to the high school. levels. That's great. So for those who don't know much about football, Rob, can you explain a little bit of like you got drafted to the Patriots? Yes, I got drafted to the Patriots. And you spent your, didn't you spend your entire career at the Patriots?

Yes, and spent my whole career there. I played nine years for New England Patriots. So I was drafted in the second round in 2010. And then you signed a deal there. And then I kept, and then I signed a big deal when I was about like 22 years old with him in. And it was a long deal too. It was about an eight year contract. So I played, I played seven of the eight years of that contract, which is pretty impressive. Which is kind of unheard of, really, in the NFL especially. So I got to stay with one team.

And to stay with one team, I mean, throughout your whole career is, you know, you really don't see that that much. So it was real cool. And I had a blast. not just learning and enjoy playing football, but I just learned so much about, like, life playing football too. You know, you've got to come together as a team, just learn so much in that organization being, you know, in the organization that's, you know,

I would say one of the top five organizations, sports organizations and one of the most winningness, winningness sports organizations in history, just learning so much from the people from the owner to the head coach, you know, quarterbacks like Tom and all the other players that just came around. it's something special. I know I got to see you play a couple times in Boston. Wow, aren't you lucky?

I did. I went to some of the games while you were playing. And Chris, what about you? You played for different teams. So what was that like? Yeah, completely different route than what Rob went. So for me, it was kind of, you know, that one shot. I actually didn't think I was ever going to make it to that level.

So that's why I would party on Thursday nights in college. And also why I tried to get the best degree that I could Because I just didn't think it was even an opportunity When you're little, it's pretty much You're told this is a one in a million shot. And for me, I went and I was thinking that I had no chance. So I bounced around three different teams that I actually started on. I played in 34 different games.

And then went into my fourth year, had pension already, had all the benefits that I never thought I would get. So it was a win for me, got hurt in camp. And at that point, I got released with the injury settlement. So completely different route. And looking at Rob's career, people would say, wow, you know, they wouldn't even know who I was. But for me, I mean, that was a huge win. Yeah.

Amazing. What position do you play? Fullback. So I was also a position that was, it's a dying breed. Yeah. Big time. There's 28 guys in the whole world that, you know, are starting on an NFL roster. I mean, most teams, some teams didn't even carry one.

And the teams that did would carry one. Whereas something like a tight end running back, other positions, they'll carry three, four guys on a roster. What about Christmas and Thanksgiving? Where do you guys have that? Did you guys all get together? Or do you, is it separate Thanksgiving and Christmases? Or do you do like one family?

So you used to all get together. But once college and then NFL, it pretty much had to stop. I mean, we were playing in the NFL. And Christmas Day as well, for the most part. Like Thanksgiving Day, Christmas. Like you guys didn't have that for year, for almost a decade. No, we didn't. Our last Christmas and Thanksgiving when we were all together was like when we were kids all in high school and stuff.

And then we all left for college. We were all in different states. The cities across the country. And we're all playing pro sports. So it's very rare that we did that. It was about a whole decade that we weren't together for Thanksgiving or Christmas. But I think last, I think last year was our. something it was when the last like year or two it's the first time all of us brothers uh we were

together for Thanksgiving or or was it Christmas it was one of them but it's it's rare when you can do that but we make the best of it when we can you should try to have one now now you know you should to some point you know to get everybody together for Thanksgiving and probably be so awesome mm-hmm and Chris you're gonna let your kids play Chris you let your kids play football are you good with your kids playing football if they want to? Absolutely. I mean, I think it teaches you a lot more than just the game. You learn so much more about discipline, hard work, multitasking. I mean, there's so much that comes along with the game as well. And I mean, my life has changed because of it myself. So it would be really hard for me to

say no to my own kid. So if that's what they want to do, I mean, I feel that that's, you know, their choice. So I'm going to come in with a question. What are your guys' thoughts on how football football has changed? I would say that it's changed in a very positive way. You know, all the rule changes, me, you know, securing up, you know, players that are not protected, like, as I'm not protected, I'm not talking about gear, I'm talking about, like, protecting themselves from a hit, like, you know, they're up in the air and you can only hit them in, like, their hip area, not a direct shot at their head.

I mean, back in the day, you could have took shots anywhere at the body, at their knees, at the quarterback anywhere. You can rip any, you can basically rip the player's helmet off back in the day and it would be totally fine. So I would say that the rule changes are great. You know, they're very positive.

I mean, you see players back in the day that, you know, some of them, I'm not going to lie, you see them, some of them still aren't right. They're still hurting,

like the players that played in the 90s, early 2000s, all from those hits, all the hits to the head and everything. So I would say they moved it to a safer environment because it's a lethal sport. I mean, there's going to be big hits every play.

You just got to do it within the rules. And it's taught now. It's taught in a very, you know, unique way. It's taught to not go after your opponent at the head or anything. So it's all taught in training camp at practice. So it's in your brain. So when you do that quick reaction time, you don't take a player out from his head or down low on a quarterback. So I think it's great because, you know, the game of football is so vicious that you want your players to be.

out there. You don't want them to be on the sidelines because of head injuries. And you've seen so many of them in the early 2000 and 90s of players that aren't right anymore because of the hits and everything. So, you know, it's good. And the equipment now is becoming, you know, very, very super efficient the equipment

too, which is good. And do you, did you leave because you were just tired of getting hurt? I mean, it was just sort of like, all right, you know, I'm I've done so much in this game already and why push it? Yes, yes, exactly. I mean, there was a lot of, you know, factors that played into it,

but that was definitely one of the main leading ones is like, you know, taking all those hits over the last, what, 15 years, you know, being all swelled up. I still got like, I still had like scar tissue. You're trying to fight through from all your other surgeries and hits and everything. So it definitely can tear you down and wear you down for sure big time. I mean, I was there. I've had nine surgeries.

I've had plenty of hits where you, to the quad, to the quad, quad contusions, I would call them, you know, just internal bleeding all the time. People would be smacking you at full speed. I mean, but that's why Kate loved the game so much, you know, that's why she was always at my game. She wanted to see the big guy run down

the field and smack so much. You love that. You know, Mike, our grandma, our grandma loved football. She was a Steelers fan. And I grew up, I would sleep in grandma's room. And I remember asking her one time, Grandma, why do you always watch football?

And she goes, I love it. It's so violent. That was Graham. That was our Graham. Was your rookie season? What was your rookie season like? When did you break out? Were you right?

Were you out at the gate? Oh, no. I wasn't like right out of the gate. I mean, I had some potential. My rookie season, I showed it in like in training camp and stuff. But I didn't really get on the field until like halfway through the season, my rookie year. Because I didn't really know the playbook. I mean, my skills were there.

But if you don't know the playbook and you don't know your, you're, you're, assignment, you can't really show your skills because that's when you're thinking. And if you're thinking out there, you can't really perform how you really need to perform. So once I learned the playbook, they didn't really put me on the field much. I only had like certain plays, the ones that they would totally trust me that I remembered. But then I, then all of a sudden it just clicked. The playbook clicked. Everything clicked.

And I was on the field for every play about the 10th game into my rookie season. And then that's when I started making catches, making plays, getting touchdowns. And then my second year going into the league, I was like, I got this. I'm ready to take over. And that's what happened, baby. What was Belichick? Is Belichick, is he just like what you would imagine he is? Yeah, I would say kind of.

I mean, how you see, like, his press conferences and everything. Like, that's how he is in team meetings and stuff, too. Out to lunch and out to dinner, he's actually totally different. Like, if you see him at a charity event, you know, people always say he never smiles. but if you do catch him out at a dinner, you know, outside of the charity event, he does smile and he's very different from being a coach of a football team. Yeah, yeah, I saw him at Pebble Beach. I was playing golf at Pebble Beach at the Pro Am.

And I sat down and had lunch with him. And he was so great and boisterous and smiling. I was like, who the fuck is this guy? Yeah, you didn't want that guy. You wanted the football guy. You wanted to see what it was like. Right. I, Mr. Kraft, Bob Kraft is doing some great stuff right now with COVID.

Oh, yeah. Well, so my girlfriend and I, we donated like 10,000 masks, no, 20,000 masks, 10,000 to a New York hospital and 10,000 to a hospital in Boston. And then a day later, there was news that Mr. Kraft has a plane in China. Yeah. And he brought over like, he brought over like, like, I don't know, 300,000 masks. He's like, sorry, Gronkowski. He's like, yeah, he blew my way. I was like, oh, yeah.

That was peanuts what I do. Watch this. Watch your old boss. Hey man, were you, I got to ask. Were you tight with Hernandez? Were you guys boys? Or was that relationship just on the field? Oh, no.

I mean, you're tight with everyone when you have a football team, man. Especially, yeah, and he was in the same position as me. So we were always, always together. And he was a great football player, man. And did you guys ever play each other? Chris and I? Yeah. Yeah, it's 2012.

I actually went to New England and I was with the Broncos at the time so we played each other and it was a good game they ended up winning. But it was good though because every time I ran by the bench Rob would scream shit at me and yell out that 49 sucks.

Oh yes, yes, we did play each other when he was on, yeah, that is true and he was on special teams and I was yelling out you suck 49. It took you like 10 times for me to yell it to hear it But I love saying that. That was great. Was that really fun for you guys, or is it weird to play against each other?

So we never actually had to go against each other. Rob wasn't on special team, so we both played offense. But I loved it because, you know, I was going against guys that he was friends with. And so I was talking trash. And, you know, I was trying to just take them out all day, every day. So it was good. And then just having him yell at me when I ran by, it was hilarious. Rob, are you a good trash talker?

If I'm feeling it, yes. I got to be feeling it. Who's the best trash talker in the league when you were playing? Oh, man. You know, it changes up, you know. It varies every year. But Terrell sucks. He was good back in the day when he was at Baltimore.

Yeah, he was scary too. So you know, you didn't want to get in his way. Yeah. Most guys don't talk trash, though. I mean, some guys out there, too, that actually support you. Like, it is kind of a family out there as well. So I think that kind of changed a little bit later. later in my career but for the most part man most guys didn't talk trash they they're kind of in it

together with you and um you know you kind of it's a kind of a family in NFL as well yeah I think too at some point I mean I know you're obviously playing against each other but you know how serious the game is when you're playing it and it's like going into the it's like going on the battlefield you got to get that that battle mentality going but you also don't want to kill somebody I don't know I mean to me that must be the most challenging thing

like you know anytime I see someone get really hurt it's just to me I would think that it would affect everybody yeah for sure I mean that's the last thing

you wanted to see was someone actually get hurt I mean you wanted to go out there and I mean you want to you want to pancake guys you want to put on a good show but the end of the day

the last thing you want to do is hurt somebody else butcher box so I like meat you know I love my veggies no doubt about it but I do love my proteins and I have a subscription myself and have been grinding butcher box for some time now okay so here's how it works every month butcher box ships a curated selection of high quality meat right to my home all of the It's free of antibiotics, free of added hormones.

Celebrate responsibly, kids. Coors Brewing Company, Golden Colorado. So, wait, so 2012, so you got to play with Pate. Yeah. Payton was your quarterback, and you have Brady, right? Yes. So if you guys were to sit there and have a conversation about who of those two would be considered the greater quarterback. I mean, how's Tom Brady not the greatest quarterback? I mean, I don't know. I think there's a lot of people who would think that Payton Manning is pretty great. Yeah, he wants, yeah, go. Payton Manning is a great quarterback. You just have to go with Tom.

I mean, he's still going. He's just hands down. He's just the goat. He's just, there's nobody you can catch it. Yeah, six Super Bowl rings too. And he's still going. I mean, that's wild. Yeah, and he's a vegan.

Annie's hot and a vegan. Like, it's just, it just gets better and better. Oh, I've seen him eat some meat before. So what was the decision for you? you know, Chris, you got injured. Rob, what was it that made you go, I'm throwing in the towel, I'm done? And then what was it that then became the transition

for you to go into WWE? Like, how did that happen? I mean, there was just a lot of factors. I mean, I was getting tired, you know, all the rehabbing, all the surgeries. They all add up, all the hits add up, all the running, you know, every day. Just all the physicalness to the body adds up.

And then the transition. So then you decide to go wrestle. Yes. Well, that was about a year ago, too, I retired. But your body does recuperate. It does heal up, especially if you take good care of your body and do the right things and eat right. Your body heals up, which it is healed up now.

So I started doing other opportunities. And the wrestling gig wasn't even that much. I kind of like just hosted WrestleMania. And the only real thing I did was I jumped off a 12-foot platform into like 12 wrestlers. And it wasn't anything dangerous, I don't think. I mean, to me it wasn't. And I took out all the wrestlers and then pitted my buddy who had the belt. So actually currently right now, I need the 24-7 title belt champion right now.

And in this quarantine time... Are you going to have to defend it? Yes. And I have to defend it. But it's great because right now in this quarantine time, who can come at me? You know, no one. You've got to stay away. I thought they were wrestling still, though.

I thought that the Florida governor said that it was an essential business. Yes. They did say that. But I'm not in Florida. in Boston. Right. You cannot travel. And I've been on my Instagram live working out.

I've been shooting promos with the belt around my waist. I mean, it's just fantastic. I'm the 24-7 WWWE, W-WE title champion of the world. How were your outfits? What was your outfit? I didn't get to see it. Was it a good outfit? It was kind of like a jump suit, track jumpsuit.

It was pretty dope. I was looking good. But I wish I had my bell. It's next door, actually. I don't want to show it off too much. I've been showing it off so much anyway. But you can just, I actually do it on a picture, but it's in my phone. So I don't know how to show you guys.

You got to send it to us. I'm going to go. I got to watch the match. And Chris, what are you doing now, bud? What's happening with you? So a lot. I started a business with my wife and came straight out of NFL and did that after five years. And then started a second company called I.

Shaker. So we were on Shark Tank with it. We had probably one of the most epic episodes where I went out there, I pitched it, and then the four brothers were in the back room. Oh, fuck, I remember this. I forgot about that. I remember this. I love Shark Tank. I remember this. Yep.

Yeah, so we, um, it's, it's been good. So it's something that, um, you know, actually pairs up really well with Fabletics. So I might have to give you guys some lot. Oh, interesting. Mm. Why don't you, you guys should definitely have a custom made ice chicker because he, you know, I get to make some of the, I get to make some of the decisions because I actually, a year later,

I actually bought out Arod's portion that he owned of Ice Shaker because I wanted to get involved with Chris. So Arod was nice enough to sell me the portion that he bought off of a, on the show, Shark Tank. So now it's me, Mark Cuban, and Chris is part owner. I'm part owner with Mark Cuban. Oh, that's great. That's great. So I was, what is it exactly? So it's double-wall vacuum insulated, usually a shaker bottle. So we came out of the new lid that's more geared towards coffee or just smoothies. But it actually usually comes with a shaker top. So at the time, there was no insulated shaker bottles on the market.

And so I really wanted to create a bottle that could be used all day for everything, not just the gym, but also bring it to work on the airplane everywhere you went. And it was super easy to fill, super easy to clean, but could also mix up powders. and there was really nothing out there at the time. So that's what I went on the show with. That's what I pitched. And we ended up getting offers from all five sharks. That's great. And do you have any, and you just do a bunch.

I'm sure you have a bunch of collaborations that you do. Yeah. So we're national with vitamins job, G&C, Lifetime Fitness. We sell the TB12 as well. So we're able to personalize every bottle. And we do it fast as well. So we turn around times about one to two days. So I can send out something for you tomorrow.

that's so great I love that's awesome dude my business too I'm doing a ball bra you know because there's not enough it's a real problem with men and no one is remedying this and it's a bra for you're not first of all by the way we're not cutting that we're going to we're going to make a ball bra we have to do this it's so great it's so great oh and by the way it doesn't have to just be for support it can be for aesthetic too, you know? Yeah, makes your balls look nice. Gives it a little like shape.

Yeah, like something cute, right? You can do do lacy things if you're into that. It doesn't matter. Like, you could do your sports team. Like, you know, I can do a Patriots ball braw. Dan said it should wrap around your neck. It should come up around your neck. The ball.

I'm right here and down. Yeah. Okay. All right. Wait, before, is there anything that we want to talk about before we get into our speed round. You got your CBD. Yeah. I got my CBD line. I actually have, we're a topical cream right now. So, so, you know, you can extract your CBD out if you don't want to get high, but you still want the mental clarity effects. But I'm with a CBD company and it's an ointment cream right now.

So it's kind of with camphor and menthol in it and then about five essential oils and then there's CBD in it too. So it's a pain relief cream, like helps out muscle joints, arthritis, stuff like that. What's your price point? I'm not, it's, it's, it's, it's one of the more expensive ones. It's one of the top quality products. I mean, depending on what you buy, what, what one you buy. I think on the website, it's 3499 or 3999 for the two. But it does work about 46 hours.

But then my line's coming out under CBD Medic and I'll be doing ingestibles. So I'll be doing gummies and I'll be doing a capsule form of CBD, CBG, which is another one, and CBC and CBN. So there's other... Are any of them activated with THC? No, none of them have THC in it. We're not... We don't do THC this product line.

Maybe in the future, but not as of now, no. But it's CBG, which there are other cannabinoids that are ripped out of the plant. So there's CBD, and then there's about 144 cannabinoids in a plant. So we'll be doing the other ones that I think are more... stronger, too, than CBD and work just as well or even better. That's awesome. I'm just, I just love all of this stuff so much. I mean, anything. Yeah. I like CBD with a little THC. Yeah, that's a good combo right there. Yeah, it's a good

combo. I'm trying to do a business, a THC business. What he's really trying to say is he likes THC with a little CBD. He basically... He likes it when it's dominant THC. Yeah. Yeah. Especially today. It's a beautiful day today. It's a beautiful day today.

So we do, we should start also and ask about how you guys are faring. Well, I mean, during this quarantine time, just always staying busy. I don't like to just sit around and just chill on the couch. I mean, sometimes I do. Like after this interview, my day's done. So then I'll be chilling watching a movie.

But I'm always trying to find things to do, keep my mind going, keep exercising too, eating, eating right, learning new things, reading. So I've been doing a lot of walks. I've been the last five days, actually, I hit over 10,000 steps on top of a workout too. So I love going outside, going in nature, refreshing myself out there. Staying six feet away from people and there's other people crossing by. of crossing by you in the path in the woods so um and just finding things to do puzzles uh word searches suduku all that type of stuff cleaning i've been doing a lot of clean i clean my whole garage it looks perfected now i love it i love how everything's clean so just finding a lot of time to do stuff like

that and it's cool you know stay busy is is the sixth rule like your favorite thing ever by the way I just thought about that. What rule? The six foot rule. It's got to be like the greatest thing that ever happened to you. It's the greatest thing that's ever happened. Everyone has to stay away and they're like, oh, it's Grunk. Hey, Gronka.

I'm just like, hey, you got to stay six feet away. It's very dangerous if you get close to me. You know, I feel like this crisis is like made for me, though. Like I traveled actually like before, like right before it all started and you had to be quarantined. And it was the best travel day of my life. I was like, I could travel every day like this. I got my flight for $20. I'm the only one in first class

and no one was talking to me bothering me. I just walked right through the airport. It was, it was, it was fantastic. Yeah, I wish everyone had to stay six feet away from me all times because usually like old, I hate, I don't like when random people come up to you and they start, like, touching you and grabbing you on the shoulder. It's like, oh, like, you just don't know them.

Like, it's like, that's a little bit too much. Well, especially with you, Rob, you know, because you're in a physical sport and people probably just feel like they can be physical with you. And it's a completely irrational thought but they're like, oh, it's fucking grog. Yeah, boy!

You're like, dude, you just hit it right out. Especially when you get around drunk people. Drunk people just, there's no limits. Yeah, it's drunk. And they just come up to you and start grabbing you. It's crap. What's our body? And they start like, they start hitting me all over the place.

You hit it right. Oliver, you look perfect. You look like my number one fan. I am. Okay, ready? Let's do our speed round. Let's do it. Let's do it.

Let's do it. Let's do it. One word to describe the other. Hilarious? Jacked. Yeah. One word to describe the other at 10 years old. Mischievous.

Whoa. I would say powerful. Chris was powerful. Yeah. Who are people more, who are people more intimidated by? I mean, I mean, depending what's going on. If you saw Chris at a college fight, I would say Chris. I'll take it.

Okay, well then this might lead into this question, which is who was more wild in college? Yeah, good one. Oh, well, we kind of shared. like we would take our turns like who would be more wild at the moment but i'm going to give this one to myself just because i i mean yeah yeah this is more fun what if more intimidated i was more crazy good what about something your parents don't know that your brother did do you guys have any of those oh it's got to be a good one uh oh uh my brother would take the alcohol the alcohol in the closet and then fill it up with water

That's like a go-to move when you first start getting into the liquor cabinet, isn't it? What is the thing that drives you the most nuts about your brother? Oh, for me? Oh, let's hear this one. Trying to set up a meeting

like something like this. That's the truth. Oh, man. Oh, man. I just had years too, Chris. I had it right on top of my head and now it just went away after you said that. Because that one was true.

I would say Chris finding little ways to be successful and make money. So in college he used to have these fish and he'd be selling them out of the out of the freaking house. I'd be like, how's he selling these fish? He's are stupid and he's making all this

money but at the same time I'm like, wow, he's legendary. He's making all this money mating fish out of his college room. But I to be like at the same time like he's crazy he should be hanging with me instead yeah that and online poker that was online poker too i'm like dude how you're making so much money because he's got like his smart genius ideas yeah oh and also he wouldn't even have to study this kid would just just go into the test and know it all oh that's so annoying that would drive me nuts i don't have that with

oliver but if he was like that then it would have that would have definitely made me feel no i just cheated Yeah, me too. I just cheated it. All right. Okay. Who cries more easily? Oh.

Oh, right now? Yeah. Just like who? You got kids, Chris. I think I cried last, so I'll give it to myself. You did? Yeah. Yeah.

I think I was crying too, though. Yeah. It's a sad day. Oh, yeah. Did you cry, Chris? When he gave a speech? A little bit. Oh, come on.

You were like in a fetal position. You can't help. This is a weird one. Who's stronger? Oh, I got that locked out, man, all day. Yeah. Oh, you do. Yeah, like I said, he was powerful.

Chris always had it. Chris always had it on me. So Chris, you'd win in an arm wrestle. Yeah, that's something we never really arm wrestled. But it was, yeah. I mean, it was all like the weightlifting record, stuff like that. And then, I don't know, we just getting like, kind of like scuffles where we just throw each other in the ground and stuff like that. We always had this like rule that when you were in the party bus, somehow everyone always got on a fight, got in a fight on the way home.

And it was always like this big wrestling match. So I was the king at those. Oh, my. Yeah, yo, I forgot about that. Wow. Yes, you were the king. You were the king at those. And I was really hammered every time, too.

Yes, you were. Yes. okay so that that helps too that makes you stronger you can do it really does who calls the other more oh that's it i call rob more for sure yeah chris calls me more you don't answer so i got to call again and then again this is an interesting one for you guys who is more competitive uh i'll probably say rob even though i've woke them every uh we have this new thing called stadium blitz that we do and man that's the only time I've just whipped him so easy that it was kind of weird

so yeah but you weren't at the last one where I like because Glenn beat you and then I was up there with Glenn literally Glenn beat me by one foot so I I was he skipped out on the last one because he got scared because he knew I was coming from but yeah

if he brings it back I was yeah I would say yeah depending on the event but I would say overall I win that one So what is that? What is state, what's it called?

Stadium what? Stadium Blitz. So it's a new obstacle course race through stadiums. So NFL or college stadiums. So it's kind of like bringing fans on their favorite field under the lights as well. So we do it at night. And then you run actually an obstacle course through the entire stadium. So pretty cool concept that we started.

But with everything that's going on so far, tour has been canceled this year. So we had 12 scheduled. and so far, I'm about six months of bed canceled. So hopefully we're able to bring it back soon. Yeah, I hope so. That sounds really fun. I know, that's cool. Okay, who's the better singer?

Oh, did you see the mass singer? No, I haven't. So, yeah, the white tiger was really good. Yeah, I was the white tiger on the mass singer this year. I went four rounds. I learned how to sing and dance, and, you know, I'm just, you know, just the better overall singer. Wow. I have to say it.

Yeah. All right, stop. Collaborate and listen. Ice is back with my brand new invention, something. Is that what you, is that he? Flo, like I pool, daily and nightly. Will it ever stop, yo? I don't know.

Turn off the lights off. And I'll glow. To the extreme, I recommend. Give me the mic like a bandle. Like a bandle. Dance. Rush to figure that booms. I'm killing your brain like a poisonous mushroom deadly.

When I play, don't melody. Anything less than the best is a felony. Love it or leave it. You better get a way. You better hit bull's eye because Kate, this kid don't play. And if there's a problem, go outside. Check out. Check out DJ Chris revows it.

Nice. That was way better than his performance actually on the show. Well, that's because I'm better because I practiced it more. I kind of stuffed it all in. Like, the better you, the more reps you do, the better you get at anything. It's science. You got to practice that muscle. It is a muscle.

That vocal box. It is science. It is. It's science. They didn't teach us that science class, though. But it is science. Rob Gronk, the science guy. I'm just, Gronk the scientist is here.

You should do a scientist show. I think that's a great idea. I show like a scientist clip. And I have the nice glasses on, the outfit, I have a nice book. Oh, I got to really be feeling. Yeah. And like Gronk is super smart.

Yeah. Yeah, they should go from like a football play to like being a scientist. Oh, they lose their mind. Who's the better dance? answer. Oh, I'll give that to Rob, too. I mean, he actually So I'll take back. The last part, you know, his singing was awful, but his dance moves were on point on the show. So that's how he through all the rounds. I mean, his first song was good, but towards the end, I just

don't think they gave him good songs that really mesh with them. But dance moves point for sure. Okay. If you were playing truth or dare, who would take more dares? Oh, we're both taking dares all day. Yeah. We're both taking dares. And then, you know, Yeah, yeah. I dare you to dare me more. What is a truth anyway? You know what I mean?

I dare you to tell me the truth. How about that? Like, it should just be dare. Yeah, daring was the best. All your brothers can be included in this, and you both have to answer it. If you were going to go to a stranded island and you could only bring one brother, what brother would be the most helpful or that you would want to bring on that island? Who's your naked and afraid buddy, you know?

Oh, by the way, you guys. Guys, you should do naked and afraid. That would be amazing. Okay, but who is that? Which brother? Survival-wise? Man, I don't know if any of us really have those kind of skills. You guys have one.

I mean, my brother Gordy was in the Boy Scouts. I think he was the only one. So I might take him just hoping that he actually learned something. But he's not that great of a student. So I'm not sure. I would go with I would go with I would go with Chris because I actually do see him the way that he survives and drives like I've seen him through college and like you know he never got the upper hand really in football like he was in a dying position really wasn't the ideal height and size who's like in between her but he always find a way to survive so I would pick Chris and that's good I like that one yes me Who was your guys, who was your first, like, celebrity crush, like when you guys were young, young kids? Pam Anderson all day.

And I always say, they watch Pamela Anderson. Wow. I think she might have been mine, too, if I'm being honest. Let's go. Let's do the last question all you ask. Yeah. If you could take one thing from your brother for your. for yourself meaning an attribute some sort of a skill just something internally internal from that person

and have it for yourself what would it be something you want to emulate something you want to emulate right and then on the flip side of that if you could take something away from your brother some sort of a stressor some sort of an issue something that would make his life better what would you take from them Wow. Wow. No, I would say just his ability to be himself, I think that's huge. And I think that's why everyone connects with him as well. So, you know, he went to the NFL and nothing changed where you see a lot of people,

especially with money, especially early on in life. You know, he was 20 years old. He was the youngest besides, actually, I think Hernandez was younger than you, but one of the youngest guys in the league, big money, you know, big money on his plate and just never changed him. So I thought that was just huge that no matter what was thrown his way, you know, he was always the same person that, you know, in college, he said he was going to be the craziest player in the NFL. He wanted to be sponsored by Bud Light.

That's the only thing that didn't happen. He said he was going to be the craziest player. And, you know, nothing changed. Nothing changed from the days in high school where, you know, he was out there just messing around making jokes. You know, people would actually come up to me and like, hey, your brother's laughing on the field, you know, in the NFL. And they're like, I just can't.

believe that, you know, he threw me on the ground and he's laughing about it and kind of like giggling about it. And so that's what I love, man, that no matter what's on his way, it's still the same person than it was back of the day. That's great. And what would be the thing that you would alleviate from him? I would, I mean, it was something we kind of hit on earlier, but, you know, I would put that, that six-foot rule in for him 24-7. So I think one of the hardest things is just that constant, first off, pressure from everybody. But also just, you know, the nagging just so much people expect so much from him and he's always done his best to always you know everything that he possibly can for other people as fans but it comes to a point

where it's just too much where you know we're having dinner together as a family and people come up and i've seen it to the point where you know someone comes up asked for an autograph he says hey i'm eating you know with my family and they say well thanks for ruining my fantasy league you know stuff like that where it's just like come on you know it's it's you can only be and you can only help people as much as you possibly can, but there's a limit. And no matter what, you know, if you could take that away, that's definitely the biggest pain point for anybody that's at that level and has that kind of stardom. So, great. That's great. What about you, Rob? I'll go with just ability that Chris has to alert and adapt. For example, like in college, you just go to class and you

don't think he's paying attention, but really he's absorbing all the information. And he can go to that next day of the class and just ace to test. So just his ability just to pick up anything on the spot. So I'm sure like business wise, he's just, that's why he's doing so well and successful with Ice Shaker. He's just picking it up, knowing what to do, how to do it, and then applying it, which is great. And that's what he did in school too. And without any extra exertion, I mean, that's the way you want to be. You know, you want to be able to flow and learn without any exertion, then you can put a way higher output out there. So that was just something. special. He's had that his whole life. You never think he's paying attention. He's really

hearing everything. He's like a sponge. It's incredible. And then, oh, wow. Wow. This is one thing I would take away. Like, really? I don't know. Chris really doesn't, you know, there's nothing that, you know, drives me. There's no stress in his life, not even about, not even how it affects you. Just about like. Just for him. Yeah, even for him. Just like, Dude, you've got to chill. For stress-wise, all right. I agree 100%. Okay.

Okay, I like the way you put it is that, I was thinking a different way, but that way put it is, it's too much on his plate at some times. I mean, I've been there before and having a lot on your plate is, is not the, is too much. I mean, maybe when you're young and you're trying to get in the game, but when you're more established and you got like a family and stuff, I mean, you've got to find things that are quality and, like, and do that instead of trying to just keep putting things on your plate just find a thing that you love to do and do that and and work and ace it to the max instead of trying to find like a million

things sometimes I'm like oh you're just doing like you're doing a little bit too much where it's wearing you down then when you're worn down I just feel like it's it's not worth it then I would say I was at that point too at one time are you a good uncle oh I'm a great uncle I mean I'm a fun ass uncle They love me, Bear, Ledger. They look up to Robbie G, the one and only, even though they're super young and everything. But they're great. I love seeing the videos of them. I love being an uncle.

And they're a handful. They're amazing. And I love to love seeing them whenever I can. All right. You can have kids? I'm not talking about now, but like you're going to have kids. I don't have any now, but I definitely want kids in the future big time. You do.

Yeah, for sure. Yay. All right, good. Well, you guys, this has been so great. And thank you for taking the time to talk with us. And we're just super grateful. So thank you. All right, guys.

Later, guys. Stay safe out there. You too. All right. Thank you. All right. Thank you, guys. Bye, bye.
