Merry Christmas Eve, Merry Hanukkah Eve, brother! When's Kwanzaa? Kwanzaa the 26th. January 1st. So we're all falling in the same region. What else? Is there another one? Is there anything else? The big 3s. Our producer Leah

got us ornaments on our Christmas tree See if you can guess who's it for who. A cute little penguin for Jack. March of the penguins baby. I'm the squirrel. You're the squirrel. And you're the donut. I think Jack is the glazed donut. Oh, it that's-

Very funny. It's sprinkled. That's a sprinkled donut. That ain't glazed. That's a Homer Simpson looking donut. I'm a donut connoisseur here. That's right, baby. Cane's donut, shout out, North Shore.

That was my favorite donut up north. I'm sure there's a lot more, but we used to get those every travel day, Saturday, that the Cane's people, I don't know, our equipment staff, they would go in and have a big box of Canes on our travel day. Which like in scientific theory for sports science,

it's terrible for you to have a day before battle, all that sugar. What was your go-to? They had a blueberry mane, and this is very suiting for the holidays because even the holidays we'd have canes too, like a big box of donuts. But there'd always be like a knife in there and guys would always take like corners. So I'd go with the blueberry main. I'd hit one of their raised glazed. But that blueberry main was really good. It's like a glazed old fashioned.

It's an East Coast donut I'm used to the old, you know, California style like Chinese family donuts where you go like happy donuts or all these other like you get like the raised glazed the raised The cakes and then the old-fashioned and you get the bars and stuff like I know that stuff is my first experience of the East Coast when I went to Keynes and I was I was I Was like these places these people don't fuck around. These people don't, they got like, they got crazy ones, they got like the fancy donuts

with like Kit Kats and shit and you're like, that stuff's way too much but you take a bite of it and you're like, whoa, that's pretty damn good. They got an Oreo, like you know what I mean? Where you think like it's too much. Like ah, you missed me with that. It's fucking, but because of the sliver rule that we had in the Patriots locker room where you could take a little sliver one nibble Everyone knows one nibble everyone knows law

You know you get a little smorgasbord of 20 different type of donuts and it really equal like maybe two But I love donuts. That's like a tradition right there. I love that. What's your thought on the cronut? They're good in theory. You have to have them right out of the oven. You gotta have them right out of the oven. They don't travel that well because it's hard to cut them too. And when you take a bite, you get- It's just everywhere.

You get 14 layers of crumbs everywhere. Makes the Nature Valley bar look like light work. I mean, oh my God, those are the worst. They're the best. They taste amazing. They taste amazing. But I don't and that's what's like given out in like preschools and stuff. So the people that have to clean those rooms, imagine the amount of ants and just crazy bacteria from buildup of that fucking what is it called? Nature Valley bars.

Nature Valley bars They're good Honey oats or do you peanut butter? My primarily honey oats aka the green green one. Yeah, honey oats and then they also have a chocolate one. That's good Whoa, I don't even see something go look at the nut house Look at the candy factory Willy Wonka out here doggy Willy Wonka you get a treat you get a treat Look at the candy factory. The nut pantry? Oh, don't let me listen to you. Willy Wonka out here, doggy.

Willy Wonka. You get a treat. You get a treat. Yo, you're, I gotta say, your organization and the snack drawers, A1. Unbelievable. You know, I think there's room for improvement. Like what, variety or what? It should look like a goddamn convenience store, meaning.

You see how we have the dots, individual packages in the back, and then you have the Ritz peanut butters and then the Ritz regulars. It needs to be distributed, distributed evenly with different brands. And right now, let me just tell you, Big House doesn't have it like that. I feel like Big House is bringing it in. I mean, it's good for people with regular standards.

Got high standards here. You think Willy Wonka let the Oompa Loompas just go out there and fucking piss in the chocolate fucking river? Yeah. You think that? No. Willy had those guys on a chocolate fucking river. Yeah. You think that? No.

Willie had those guys on a tight fucking ship. Little whistle. Yeah, that's slave labor really. You can get them. Nah, he gave them. If you've not seen the one with Johnny Depp, he gave them a new life and a purpose. I haven't seen that one.

Facts, facts. You need big house in the corner saying, hurry up and buy, bro. Full convenience store vibes. I want it to look like the Japanese 7-Elevens. We're gonna get ice cream shit. When you open that. I want them to look like the Japanese 7-elevens. We're gonna get when you open that. I want them to follow me around if I'm taking too long in there.

Yeah. Maybe. I don't know. You can watch that movie all the time and it's still great. It still holds up. I like, I love Interstellar. Either that or Batman. I liked Batman Begins,

because I was a huge Batman kid growing up and to see the origins of it, but I wasn't a comic kid growing up, and to see the origins of it, but I wasn't a comic kid, so I didn't read the comics of Batman. I relied on the movies of Batman, and that was back in Batman, Batman Forever, Batman with Keaton, and then it went to Clooney, and I loved to see the origins of Batman

in that lens of what Nolan did, in a serious role, not just a comic-y role. I was like shook, I loved it. Now begins over Dark Knight? I liked Begins. Really? I liked Begins, I loved Dark Knight too, everyone loves it with Heath Ledger and,

Ledger and, but I. Scarecrow, that's a, That was like the first, like I don't know, that was just a cool, like, that's where Batman comes from, I didn't know he did all this shit. Oh, he I don't know, that was just a cool, like, that's where Batman comes from. I didn't know he did all this shit. Oh, he studied with bad guys? That's why he knows that?

Oh shit, he almost fell off that mountain and he got it, that little drug and shit? Oh fuck, he stole his own shit to see what it is as a criminal. Wow, that's why he's so cool. Alfred, he's such a G. He knew he went to Then Morgan Freeman. Yeah, you had cool dude that has a private section of what he owns when his parents like he didn't know He owned like I had so many questions as a kid that I felt like that movie answered

But I also loved interstellar There's some great moments. I I also loved Interstellar. There's some great moments. I loved that when he was seeing his kids back, McConaughey and he's like enjoying the ups and then he's, you know, cause of the year. I just saw an Instagram meme on it, on that one water country. It would have been 15 seconds,

Hope you could join us for the postseason run. All right, next one. Hey, Julian, Darrell from New Hampshire here. We got a quick question for you. All right. Walking Dead scenario, you get to pick four of your teammates from the Patriots to go with you. Walking Dead scenario, headshots only.

Four Patriots to go with you. The Spivey, you got to survive the zombie apocalypse. I would imagine you have Matt Light with you. But I'm just guessing here. Who you taking on your team? End of the world, walking dead. Matt Light is for sure on there. Not just because he's a lineman and it's in his heart to protect men. Yeah.

Yeah. But he's a great outdoorsman. Facts. And he, seen him at that Matt Light shootout, he can shoot the shit out of shit. He's a marksman. He can protect, he can feed. Yeah. I'm also going with Logan Mancans. Okay I

Believe he just owns land Somewhere in Massachusetts and just farms for fun now Why wouldn't you want that guy in an apocalypse if we needed to like make something? He honestly could kill you know, he wouldn't even use a gun, he uses bare hands. Two. So there's zombies. Okay. They're in Foxborough.

Foxborough. And you need four teammates to survive. Those two are in there. Matt Light, Logan Mankins, you gotta type. Yeah, large protective men. You gotta think of someone that's cool to hang out with too. You're gonna be spending a lot of time with this boy. New vibes guy.

I would need Matthew Slater there. Slate. For prayer shit. Speed too. Speed, prayer, if we need to get a message to someone. Good for the morale. You know if shit's bad, he's like. Glue guy, Leader. Yep.

So two protectors, a teamer. I might go with Jamie Collins. Ooh. Silent assassin. Athletic is a problem. I remember when he, he's like, he's probably one of the most athletic dudes I've seen. Like he's like six four, six five, 250, jumps like 41.

Now is this in prime? Or is this now? Okay, this is prime guys. Yeah, everyone's in their prime. Okay. Yeah. Cause you know, and he's like, he sees everything. So Jamie, he'd sit in his locker and-

Good peripherals. He's got good peripherals. Earphones would be in, wouldn't say a word to you during our apocalypse killing, but we know shit would be getting done with him. May take a couple gambles, may take a couple gambles that'll help us, may hurt us a couple times, but he's gonna make a couple fucking kills

where you're like, oh shit, yeah, he's a bad man. What's your role in this? I'd probably be like a rabbit the rabbit of the group You know, I mean got to go out check it out first what's going on then fucking calling Calling fucking light and mankins have them like different sideways come and then Jamie would probably be up in the trees and slate would have the book in the back praying so I'm where I think we'd be good. And then I think this group would be great against the humans which inevitably come and everyone knows that the scariest part of The Walking Dead is the other factions that you end up encountering. That's right. Oh yeah.

Yeah, I mean, is John Berenthal in that? Yeah, really. Is that true? I didn't watch the show. Oh yeah. Yeah, I mean. Was John Baranthal in that? Yeah, early.

Got a people's person with Slate. Mac could sell the ketchup stick to a woman in white. And then Logan and Jamie, they don't really talk. See Slate welcomes you in, the other groups, we're good guys, we're good. And then you get them in there, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and then you just have Logan just shake one of their hands

and let him show how big his hand is. And just, he'd probably dunk on him too because people don't realize Logan Mancos was first team all-state in California, I think. Hooper. Hooper. Either way, if a touch football game breaks out between you guys and some zombies. Oh, we've protected, we've got speed, we've got power.

You're playing quarterback. Well, there would be no throwing of the ball. Wing-T. It'd be wing T, counter trap. And I mean, I could throw it to Jamie. Jamie's telling me where he can go and get it. Slate's got a flat route. Slate's got some speed, take him out.

I have double streak on one side with Slate and Jamie. Quite frankly, I wouldn't care about catching football. More about killing people. So I'm going with defense and linemen and teamers. Hello, Jiren. I was just wondering, what was the funniest moment you've ever had with Aqib Tlaib? Thank you. The funniest moment I ever had with Aqib Tlaib? He was a fun teammate. He was a really fun teammate. And we got him in the middle of the season, in 12 I think.

And so we were trying to like, I had, me and him had to go against each other post practice on one-on-ones. He was trying to get better and learn our system of how we ran like man. And I was always, I always had to run routes after practice early in my career to try to refine my my craft and I just remember always battling him and then we go in and Akib has like the highest voice like hey man what's up man and Akib

always had two chains on and I think there was some two chains on. And I remember I would go up to Akiv and I'd be like, hey, hey, Tlaib, I'm gonna call you Unchain. You only got Unchain. You only got one chain, bro. You ain't no two chains out here. He was like, I ain't choose, I ain't mad.

Nah, you gotta. He was so fun. He was the coolest dude in the locker room, but he would get on me with his high voice. He got like this raspy high voice sometimes. That was just, it was comical anytime he said anything to me. But he was like the funnest, he was a cool ass dude. He made me hella better as a route runner, so.

I don't know if that's a story, but. That counts. He was known to snatch a tater too, wasn't he? Oh, I don't know if that's a story, but. That counts. He was known to snatch your tater too, too, wasn't he? Oh, I used to tell him that shit too. You ain't snatching my chain. In practice and stuff, we'd always talk shit, you know, because that way your teammates would be bringing up, you ain't crappin' you ain't takin' my chain, dog.

You ain't takin' my chain, give me all the income. I love Tilly, we gotta get him on here, beast. Hey guys, Jack from Wayne McTier. Wondering if you guys had any weird holiday traditions growing up, like Carolyn in the neighborhood you don't really know or whatever. Thanks. Weird holiday traditions.

I remember putting up the lights with my dad. I remember as a little kid, I thought it was so fascinating to go on the roof. When you go on the roof as a kid. Whole new perspective. What's going on up here? And my dad was cool, and he knew that I loved going on the roof.

And we lived in a one story house at the time, and it was a small ass little house. But I remember we were sitting there, lying there, and it was kind of crisp that night and my dad He took we had to go through all the lights because if one lights bad There they all die. So this is old-school big-ass color light shit You know what I mean? So we had to go by the time we were done getting all lights on we're sitting there and we had

Some extra light bulbs Matt goes watch this and he throws a light bulb in the middle of the street and you know when they break, they make a big sound. Pew. And I was like, oh my God, it's so cool. Hell yeah. That's what I remember. I go on that roof putting on lights and stuff with my dad.

It was so fun. Teamwork, baby. I love that. Weird holiday tradition going on the roof. That's cool. I do that. Jack, you got one? Nothing, nothing that weird, but I do love a good movie on Christmas Day.

Going to the theater, catching a movie, remember, castaway, big shorts. I saw some good ones on Christmas Day. Not that weird though. I feel like a lot of people do that. Kind of a Jewish thing too, Chinese food and movies on Christmas Day. Yeah.

Never do the Chinese food, but I dig it. My mom used to make Eggs Benedict, or she still does too. Ooh, Angie, let's go. On Christmas Day. Like Benny. Then we have like a prime rib. We do fondue on Christmas Eve.

I think that's kind of weird. It's so white. It's like a trend from the 70s that was stuck. Did you have a chocolate fountain too? No, just the- Cubes of bread? A couple different Swiss fondues. I actually love fondue.

It's awesome. It is so 70s. What is this? Edward Scissorhands? That town has fondue. Edward Fondue hands. But you know, talking about that little town in Edward Scissorhands has fondue. That's a fondue town.

It's like a weird thing from the 70s. Suburban. It's just kinda like stuck in my family for some reason. Yeah, love it. Can't hide white. Ha ha ha ha ha. Hi, my name is Johnson. I'm loving the podcast guys, great job.

I'm loving learning more about the Patriots organization, which is pretty amazing considering I'm a Stalish friend from New Jersey. Wow. And please, please if you can't ask later on again, he's amazing. My question is, can you explain what exactly slapdick means? I don't know if you've answered that question before. If not, please, thank you.

Yeah, slapdick, quite simple. Doing anything a fucking moron would do. You are a slap dick. Now this is a herd animal. There could be slap dicks around each other. Synonymous with Babalook. Pretty much the kid on the football team that was probably at practice because his parents were making him play and he didn't

want any kind of hitting. He didn't want any kind of nothing. He was playing tiddlywinks while we were doing hitting drills. That's a slapdick and then it morphs each higher place you get. So in high school, you know, if you do jump off, it's just like you're a moron. Bob Luke. They even exist at the NFL level.

Yeah, I would love to hear Richie Incognito's Oh God, oh boy. answer to what a slap dick is. Cause he has a stupid fucking rookie fine. So I would love to hear what Richie Cognito would say a slap dick is. It'd probably be in the same form or fashion of what I said. I feel like that was a full on

Merriam-Webster definition, I love that. Yeah, you know, I think it comes from the root, were, or the, I think it's Latin. I think it's slap-a-dicky. I think it's Latin. Couldy. I think it's Latin. Could you use it in a sentence? Yeah. This coach called the player a fucking slap dick

for jumping off sides three times in one game. Slap dick. Also shortened for slappy too sometimes. Slappy's is a short for slap dick. Slappy's. This is a learning. It's like dumbass and dummy. Hey, Julian. As you are a Jewish athlete, I was wondering if you've experienced any hardship being a Jew in the National Football League as there is an, and also your experience with being Jewish in the NFL.

Thank you. and also your experience with being Jewish in the NFL. Thank you. I wouldn't say, I mean, there's been a couple derogatory terms said on the field, but I don't really think anyone really knew the players or people of football world. It wasn't like, if you're white, you're white. or people of football world. It wasn't like, if you're white, you're white.

You know, it's not like you're Italian or you're Jewish. You know, white boys is pretty, if you have fair skin, you're white. Now, if I was like a Sephardic Jew, maybe I would be a different, I don't know. But there was only a couple times where I heard guys that did their homework, you know, a guy that would talk shit, which I respected honestly. I mean he did his fucking work.

But no, I didn't, nothing crazy. I mean you see stuff in comment sections with certain things, but nothing't, nothing crazy. I mean, you'd see stuff in comment sections with certain things, but nothing out of the ordinary. I never really looked at it like that. I looked at it as I was getting to showcase for my community instead of thinking about people looking at, oh, there's not that many of your community in this.

It was more of an honor, you know what I mean? So, I don't know if that answered, but that's my experience. Mr. Edelman, this is Ryan. I have a quirky, nerdy question for you. I started seeing in the NFL this year that offensive coordinators are running receivers through the B gap and the C gap on their routes a little bit more. I'm just interested in how you think about that

if you're running those routes and what kind of pressure would put on the defense if you had the opportunity to do that since I know you surely did in New England. Alright, appreciate you guys. Yeah, a lot of the C-gap runs, it's more of like the D and C gaps. Usually you'll see the fullback go into that B-gap that he thinks is a, or B-gap. And it's great counter.

It's a great play action counter where you can go and freeze the guy at the line, the linebacker position if you're the fullback and going through the B gap and then go out to your route. For a receiver you're seeing a lot of these receivers now especially you know look at a lot of these great run ground run game teams. The receiver on one side where the ball plays going will go to the force and so have to if there's only one safety that means there's only one safety, that means there's a guy in the box, so you rather block the safety over the corner.

So you'll redirect your blocking assignment from corner to safety, and that's called going and grabbing the force. Well, sometimes they're in that box so much that they can shoot that gap and get in, and that's your responsibility. So what teams have been doing now is they motion that receiver and he'll go through the tight end and the tackle to pick up that safety and block him.

So naturally there's a counter to that play where the team has seen the receiver motion in, go through the C gap or the D gap and block the safety. And so the counter is he, you guys knock him over the head a couple times, you're getting the force, the safety is getting more and more nosy. And then you go and you go through that C gap, you act like you're going to block that safety who's been hit twice. And then you, you fly out and you usually get's been hit twice, and then you fly out and you usually get these huge catch and runs

where the defense is all sucked up on the run game. Whoa, well said. You never ran anything like that? I did, it was called F-Search. I was one of the innovators of that, buddy. Really, how'd you like it? What were some of the advantages you had? Well, it was just good because a lot of times you'd come in and you'd have to block that safety

and so then over the years it evolved where you'd go through that gap and motion yourself and it was your responsibility to motion to go get that safety so you had to do every means end but you couldn't touch the tackle because if you touch the tackle that could be like a trigger point from the other guy so you had to go in and hit that guy and so it was like a tip of it there was a great counter and it was also great for the you know the route tree or whatever you go in and you got that fake to that because it rewards you and it makes that safety not play as hard down because he's got a he's got a respect that you're gonna go out now, potentially. But a lot of those B gap and A gap stuff, that's usually the H back.

So he'll be lightened up in that tight end and they're faking a wham or they're faking a blast. And then they go out and they go through the gap and it's usually wide open. James Leney, when does cream season start? Yeah, cream season starts after Thanksgiving. I mean, I thought everyone knew this. What was the thing you said the other day? Pasteurization period.

Can you explain, maybe we all know cream season here. Well, when you milk a cow, the pasteurization period is when the cream floats up to the top. Okay. So for all you milk heads in there, and I know there are a few out there, I would love for you guys go in that comment section and Just tell these these non milk people

Maybe these are milk people which I'm a fan of all milk even you two percenters out there You know even you two percent tell us about that. Let's let's hear what you guys have to say if my analogy even works with them because I'm not gonna lie. I've only milked another once in my life. You've milked a cow? Yeah, we've all been to like somewhere and you milk the cow. Oh, like the 4-H thing. Yeah, you know, you go to the fuckin' and you put on, you're pulling those bad boys down.

Yeah, I gotcha. Yeah, I was pretty good at it. I'm not saying I'm a fuckin', I'm an expert, but you know, I thought it good at it. I'm not saying I'm a fucking, I'm an expert, but you know, I thought it was, I thought it correlated with football. So it's a tip of my cap to the people that get that milk out of those cows. Hey, we support our dairy farmers.

And develop that cream. I love it. And that beautiful cream that we all love in our coffee, because everyone knows. Oh yeah. Oat milk latte versus whole milk. Ah, latte. Or we gotta go home. I'm just saying.

I'm just saying. Whole milk or no milk baby. All the way. I want that red cap on there, that vitamin D baby, yeah. Yeah, we want it creamy. And then when. That's just what we want our teams to be when they go up into this season.

That's right. Color cap. Yeah red. Red's always whole. Red's whole. Blue's 2%, light blue is skim. Yeah or yellow. Or they have a yellow for fat free I think.

Oh yeah and yellow in there too. Wow you learn something every day. A lot more sugar in those fat free's though. Oh I didn't realize that. That's how they get the taste. Ooh and then we. Now we know. After Thanksgiving rolls around, we're in cream season.

Yeah we're in cream season and then basically that's when teams are, it's kind of you are what you are and there's separation. And you start to see who the real dogs are, the real cream teams are. And then it's about going and playing your best football. And that's how you become a real cream team. The teams that are playing their best football after Thanksgiving is a cream team. And cream team, the teams that are playing their best football after Thanksgiving is a cream team and cream teams are usually the teams that win the Super Bowl.

Now, when does nut cutting time start? Oh, that changes for each and every different situation of a team. Nut cutting time, like for the Giants was five weeks, five years ago. of a team. Nut cutting time like for the Giants was five weeks, five years ago. Dallas offseason. It's nut cutting time. We don't have a running back. San Francisco right fucking now. Nut cutting time. Gotta play the Packers. They played the the Packers right now by the time you guys hear this. If they lost that game, might as well be oat milk season for them.

Which is creamy and good. Different kind though. But it ain't the real deal shit. Ain't gonna win you a super. It ain't the real deal. For all you real coffee heads, you know what I'm talking about. Cause I do the oatmeal latte sometimes and I have like my friend Jeff and he'll look at me sideways cause I'm not using whole milk.

It's like barista or whatever they call them, those people too, they're like, oh yeah. But sometimes you don't want like a drink to be 300 calories that you get with a fucking whole milk latte. So you do the cappuccino, it's less milk, more coffee. What's this guy? We got amateur hour. Come on man, what am I drinking? We got amateur hour, this guy.

You got a beard and a Grinch hat, he thinks he's creative. I'm gonna tell you about coffee, buddy. What about getting a sleeve? I'm a long black. Jack. I don't know any of that. I get confused with all the terms. Just give me a cup of hot. I'm a long black. I don't know any of that. I get confused with all the terms. Just give me a cup of hot black. I like long black.

I like black Joe too now. I like, I like gas station coffee. Long black is an Americano that you pour. It's the same as Americano, but the order is switched. One is water first and then espresso on top. And then one's espresso first, water on top. I think Americano is water after and long black is espresso on top of water. It keeps the creamy crema a little bit.

I like just black coffee. Amen, man. Just give me a black Dunkin' Donut iced coffee. That's how we do it, baby. No regular over here. No regular. Hey, but then you got to, when it's really cream season, you head down to the diner, eat your breakfast,

you grab a couple of those little creams they got right there on the table, put it right in your front coat pocket. Just for later. Just for later, and you do the Macho Man. Reese Rises to the top, right to the tip of the tip of the top. Oh yeah. Cup of coffee in the big time.

I don't have it in my throat right now. I got you. Save yourself. It's cream season in the broadcasting right now. I got you. Oh, yeah Season in the broadcasting world to you guys. Yeah, I gotta say that's right. Oh, yeah Coffee in the big time. Let me tell you about them Baltimore Ravens. They better clean it up or they ain't gonna be creamy But the Detroit Lions, oh, oh. And Campbell, yeah. And then the creamy.

Put my drinker right there. I tell you right now, you put that with some espresso, you get you a cappuccino. Couple shots of that. Oh yeah, with an e-cap. My macho man, Randy Savage's voice sucks only with, I can only do it with a couple words. I can just do an oh yeah.

Yeah, only he could oh, yeah Hey, that's all you need when the when you're with there with me and Gene. Did you see that one with him in France? I saw I sent it to the group. I think when he was flying Yeah, I don't know. He was in front of the Eiffel Tower doing a promo with his babe. Wait I don't think these French people in like 1982 or 87 or looking at him like who the fuck is this guy? I don't think I saw that American oh, yeah Talk about the Eiffel Tower. He's our best export, bro. That is the best of American culture right there fucking it

I gotta go back in the group chat and find that. Oh my god. It sounds amazing Did you honestly think that Michael Jackson video was real? Which one the one was like Michael Jackson's real because, or still alive because the van and the guy like talked in front of it was like, the van's the same van. And then he was this weird guy that kind of looks like him that's talking. Did you also see that Michael Jackson story I said

where he beat the shit out of Tupac? No. I don't know if it's real, but it got me thinking. He was the little brother of four older brothers. So you know he was kinda tough. He was tough. Oh, him and Tito were probably brawling out back in Gary and Eda.

He was like eight years old and they were all like in high school and shit. They were beating the fuck out of him. I had a brother that was seven years older than me. You know how many times I was hung by my underwear on a doorknob? At least three times a week. Comment section, let us know if that Tupac and Michael Jackson fight over,

I think it was like a producer's daughter that he was dating. There it is, Eiffel Tower. Boom, yeah, Paris French, the Eiffel Tower, and Elizabeth, one masterpiece to another masterpiece, my two minutes in Paris French, isn't it something Elizabeth? Yeah, Mersi Boucou, my two minutes. Paris, France, isn't it something Elizabeth? Yeah, better see beaucoup, canal plus.

Oh yeah! Ha! Oh yeah, that rocks. He just makes me excited. Just sweet like creme de la creme. Him and the Roman Empire make me excited. He's our Roman Empire. You know, I had a friend ask me,

how often do you think about the Roman Empire? And it was before I thought about that question. And I was like, maybe at least twice a week. You know, in some form of fashion, gladiator, fight, this, that. And I guess that's a huge thing that women say about men. They ask them a question, how many times do you think about a fucking?

Viral question, yeah. Have you heard of that? I have. I've heard of it, yes. Audience, we didn't record this six months ago. They ask him a question, how many times do you think about a fucking viral question? Yeah. Have you heard of that? I have. I've heard that, yes. Audience, we didn't record this six months ago. This is just. Yeah.

Well, I'm just telling you, I think about it all the time. Me too. And I heard it, I was like, yeah, a couple of times. It's no problem, yeah. If by that you're referring to Macho Man, then yes, I think about it every day. The actual Roman Empire, not that often. Yeah, I would probably think about it.

I don't know if I think about Macho more than I think about the Roman Empire, but I think I think of his videos. Yes. I watch his videos. It's one of the best. The only reason to have TikTok and or Instagram these days. Yeah. For Macho main cut ups. R.I.P. R.I.P. R.I.P.

Damn. Heard he was bad. Was he a good guy? I think he was a good guy. All right, we're good. I think he was. Let's just not do any more digging and just say, yeah, he was a good guy. Yeah. Heard he was a bad, was he a good guy? I think he was a good guy. Alright, we're good. I think he was a good guy. Let's just not do any more digging and just say yeah, he was a good guy. Yeah, he played minor league baseball. Dude, that's so tight. Oh yeah!

Hitting 300 baby! 300! Yeah! Going on! You know what chicks like right? Yeah, they dig long balls. Oh yeah! Call me up to the big time baby! She got me over in triple A! Yeah Yeah when I was going to the big see Have you played triple-a, let me see what he got what his highest level was I'll do some looking here

Probably through a hell of a double play He was in the Cardinals organization He was an outfielder Outfielder? Yeah. That's the speed, huh? Probably not as not quite as buff back then. Learn some, I've learned two things today. That's right, baby.

Some episode. Yeah, gotta learn something every day, Kyler. We're a life long learners. Hey Julian, how goes it? I hope Kyla and Jack, I hope you guys are doing good too. In a recent episode, Julian, you mentioned about looking at the star at the end of the football. I've never heard anyone talk about that before,

and I was wondering if you could say a little bit more about that. Thanks, bye. We got a football? So the end of the football, there's two lines if you look at it. So you look, if you look at the right here, I mean, it's not like, it's like a,

I mean, we're not talking, you know, like a masterpiece of art star, but you look right there, that kind of resembles a star that, that look. So if you look at that very point you try to see the star you try to see small if you don't see the star but you're looking for the star you'll see big and you'll catch the ball that's what I'm talking about with the star I thought you're talking about that star

you saw for a couple years after that. Oh, that star? No, no, I think this was true. Oh yeah, that star was because of Brian Dawkins. Another damn star. Yeah, that was a different star. Edelman, I'm a Woodside high school student. Come down and visit, man. About to make another CCS run. I want to hear about your high school stories at Woodside and your journey in general. We got a Woodside Wildcat call in huh? That's pretty cool. Did they say they're on a CCS run?

Looks like seven and three this year according to Max Preps. Who'd they lose to? We lost to Hillsdale. Hill. 40 to 30. Back to back losses here. Then we lose to Half Moon Bay the next week. They were the tough white boys. Have you been to that like? 43, 29. They were like a bunch of, they were like a bunch of the cowboy kids.

Then we went to, uh, beat Santa Clara, beat Homestead. Then, uh, lost to South San Francisco 29, seven. South city. South city. see they're a curveball because they get inner city talent, but they never really disciplined, they never had really good coaching. They always had good players, but they were never, they always had a lot of Pauleys too.

Oh, South San Francisco did? Yeah, South City. So they're damn good. Hillsdale probably had some Pauleys because you're in San Mateo. Paulies were all around the Bay. Like all the, Aragon, you got them at like all the PPSL teams or what is that, the private school teams.

You had quite a few Paulie teammates, right? Yeah, I was like, we had, our team was pretty much all, like Paulie, black, couple Mex Mexicans and like, heck yes. A few white dudes. Then beat Los Altos 48 nothing. Okay. Fremont 37 19. My dad went there.

Fremont? For a year. It's, I think that's in Sunnyvale. I didn't know that. And then the last game I'm seeing here is 11-8 Milpitas. 11-8? So what, I wonder what those are like like those are different. They're in a different division. So it used to be a lot of the good athletes were from East

Palo Alto. Okay. And East Palo Alto didn't have a school and so a lot of the a lot of the kids from East Palo Alto which were the best athletes would go to the Sequoia district which was Sequoia, Woodside, and Menlo Atherton. So we'd all get a mix of East Palo Alto kids, which were the best athletes. Right. And so now I believe Sequoia and Redwood City, and Woodside and Redwood City,

don't get any more East Palo Alto athletes, and East Palo Alto goes to Palo Alto High and Menlo Atherton only. And those are the two powerhouses of the area because a lot of the talent comes out of East Palo Alto. So they cut off our busing line or what? I don't know. They cut it off so they don't come there. So I don't think they get as much talent anymore in Woodside. Some real redistricting weird little redist weird. Yeah, redistricting. Come on, man. But East Palo Alto is where Adams is from.

Devante. Devante. I think Jeremy Lynn, he's from Palo Alto, not East Palo Alto. But there's a couple other guys that are from EPA. How far was that from the crib? I mean, it pretty much like touches our city like the tip of it Because you could take like East Redwood City. I mean Jordan minutes who Jordan Mims is saying yeah Mims There's a couple other guys when I played too

But there were there were some studs there This is crazy there. Here we go I'm looking at the Woodside IG the The Woodside Wildcats finished the 2024 season with a close exciting win on varsity and JV. Sadly, we will be on the outside looking in for CCS playoffs despite our seven and three record. The league's number one offense and number two defense in one of the most dominating rushing attacks

in all of CCS. Seven and three and you missed the CCS? That's crazy. They must be in a lower division and it's like BCS. So you get power rankings per. Oh, they do that fucking chess system. That's how it kind of was. I don't know.

But you know what I mean? They used to be an open division, a bay division and an ocean division. I don't know what it is now. I need all you high school heads in the Bay to hit up, you know, let us know. Yeah, that's crazy. Seven and man. Well, fuck. That's cool that they went seven and three though. I heard they were doing bad a couple years ago. It's good that they got seven wins. You know, you got to build off that for next year.

All you seniors, good luck with your next year. And hopefully you guys got, you know, some more football on you. If you don't cherish the moments you had in high school for all you juniors remember this feeling seven three didn't get in the playoffs remember this feeling for next year because there ain't gonna be a next year for you guys so remember that in the offseason all the preparation uh you gotta you gotta you gotta manifest that stuff in your head. Every game in football at any level is too important to lose. Because there's not that many games. We gotta send Drew over there to pep him up. Yeah, I'm gonna have to send Drew over there.

Get Drew out there. What was the best record y'all had when you guys were there? 13-0. Undefeated season? Undefeated, my senior year. We went 13-0 and won CCS. In the Division 2 though, would have been cool. I think we would have done well against the big boys. We smoked every team we played in the

playoffs. How many games you playing playoffs to win at all? Three I think. And it's CCS that's it? Yeah they didn't have state anymore. Now they're state. They have state now. You have to win CCS to go to another one. So I think they put in state five years after I left. We would've had a real shot. So you'd play the team from LA, you'd play the team from Central. Yeah, I don't know how it goes,

but it's such a big state. There's so many high schools. It was so hard to get the scheduling for it for so long. It's a big state to just- But now because of that, I'm sure it's like BCSE, where a seven and three team didn't get in because you gotta let, you know what I mean? Quality wins, yellow chest, gain,

like I used to be on that thing on my high school. What a nightmare. Now I gotta say, how did the boys celebrate a 13 and 0 season? I remember we went on Sports focus right after the championship sports focus was like the cool thing Like if your team, you know, it was like the local highlights for the high school kids. I love it I mean, it was so fun. We went in studio or jerseys Some letterman jackets fucking it was I don't know. I don't remember that rocks

It was so fun though, cuz we are here got canceled the year before You were telling me this yeah full mutiny locker room when dro was over There's there's a full mutiny in the locker room against a coach and I won't put his name out there, but people will know We were like an undefeated team Going into this the diversity as a young team and shit didn't go out right. There's a huge thing where there was a chant in the locker room. And the whole, the principal, God bless her, I love her,

Mrs. Commons, she was cool. But she walked in every guy into the office to see who started and who was in the chant. And every single guy, and they knew of someone who started it, but they didn't want to, you know what I mean? They assumed. And everyone said that they weren't in on it and they didn't start the chant. And she sits the whole team down and says, you mean no one said anything? And the whole team said no. She goes, if you guys don't tell us, we're going to cancel the season. And she sits the whole team down and says, you mean no one said anything? And the whole team said no. She goes, if you guys don't tell us,

we're gonna cancel the season. Not one of the fellas ratted on nobody. That is a unified team, baby. We went down. And then when we do the next year, we got Steve Nikolopoulos, the old guy who got kicked out for, one of his players almost beating up a guy

after a championship loss. He got kicked out of being head coach because of that. It was our AD for a long time. Then we brought him back, go 13 and 0. Steve, that's a unified team, hungry. Coach Aminetti too. We were doing off season fucking running and they were running us to death, you know.

And there was this new performing arts center that they just put in You know, and there was this new performing arts center on the. That they just put in and you could see it from the football field. And I remember we were talking to coach Aminetti. He was like a successful dude, went to Stanford stud. And I think he had some money. We all thought he was rich as fuck because, you know, we're all like high school kids. And so we all like we're running and stuff and he's yelling at us, make us run.

He goes, we go, hey coach, if we go undefeated, we want a fucking mural of our team on that goddamn wall right there. And Aminetti said, you guys go undefeated, we'll get you the goddamn mural. We went undefeated, we don't got a damn mural. Aminetti. Aminetti. You should commission that thing. You should commission it.

Eminetti, come on dog. We want fucking 2004 Woodside Wildcats thing. Eminetti, you know you got the bread, bro. You got the bread, dog. I know you got bread. Hey, I got bread, dog. I know you got bread too now. As an older guy looking back on it,

I saw the cars you were driving and shit. Mr. Stanford. Mr. Stanford, he was cool. He was a smart guy. I don't even know why he was one of our coaches. I think he was just giving back, but he was like he had like a business. A ball. And making promises that he couldn't keep to get. But he was like, yeah, he making promises you can't keep. Come on, I'm an Eddie.

I want that damn fucking mural. Hey guys, it's Stalin. Hey, we always joke about Jackie glazing up the guests and whatnot, but let's take a quick moment and glaze up Jackie and that swagger. Dude, you're always dressed to the nines and everything, and I'm just curious, like, Jules, you ever, you know, ask Jack for fashion advice?

Shout out Central PA. He's a big Danny Woodhead fan. Do you have a Danny Woodhead story? I remember Danny Woodhead did like this thing before viral was going viral where he went to a sporting goods store and was selling his jersey to people and they didn't know it was him because he's i don't even ever seen that oh it's a classic i forget which one it was but it's some fucking

northeastern i think was it at gilette stadium no it was in like brockton or something okay at Gillette Stadium? No, it was in like Brockton or something. Okay. But I remember him watching, like he was, he was such a fun dude. He was trying to convince people to buy Danny Woodhead jerseys. Yeah.

He pretended like he was working there. And people are like, oh, I like this guy. This guy's, or his jersey. Like, or he'd be talking to someone else and Danny would be like, hey, you should go check out this one. And they're like, nah, that guy's too small or something. Oh, is that like a Models?

Models! Oh, shout out. Models. Woody's a stick on the golf course, too, isn't he? Dude, I heard he's like insane. I've heard he's like US Open like qualified. Yeah, he tries to qualify every year. I think there's like something.

I think I sponsored him once for something. That's awesome. Yeah. Will JE-11 drip out on the course? No, I don't know. But I think we thought about it. Imagine how cool that would be to turn on the US Open like Thursday and Woody's out there.

Woody was like an insane basketball player. Woody is a fucking dog. He's just an all-around great athlete. Great athlete. Shadron State. Yeah, but he was probably five, seven, five, eight, and like two, oh, five. He was thick and he was quick. He was thick, and he was quick.

He was such a good ball player. It's unfortunate he didn't get to win with us. Oh, I forgot he wasn't on one of the Super Bowl teams. He wasn't on any of the Super Bowl teams. He went to, where did he go afterward? Chargers. He went to the Chargers, and he had a good little career there.

He used to run that, we had a Darren Sprouls route that we used to run with Woody. And then he goes to the Chargers and wasn't Sproul's was over there. Legend. I still think about that story that you and Rob were telling where Woody's like, I don't wanna, oh yeah, Woody.

You guys even wanna go out. No, Woody was. My hamstrings feel weird. Woody was like, just a blue collar, like Midwest guy, like great kid, believes in God and stuff and like doesn't swear. But like Rob said, he'd come in and be like, hey guys, don't your hamstrings look like they feel like

they're about to fall off the crest of Mount Everest today? He would come and be like, yeah. I mean, he's like, and then all of a sudden he'd have like the best practice. Like, man, guys, do you feel like your toenails are gonna fall off? Like it's Thanksgiving or, he'd come up with some crazy thing like that.

And we're like, Woody, you're always, you fucking kill practice, get out of here. And he'd go light it up. I mean, he's just so, but I think that was his way of just bonding with the boys. I love that. But he would come up with a thing like, do your calves feel like they're knives going in your eyeballs? He would say some shit like that.

Like, yeah, my calves hurt. Go through another great practice day, guys. Let's go get better. This is what we have to say to get ready for practice in New England. That's how crazy practices were. We're fucking trying to mentally psych ourselves up. Fucking Woodhead, I miss him. I'm gonna get him on.

I know. I wanna go golf with him. Oh my God. I bet you he's, I heard he hits it dead straight. Like he doesn't hit high ball. I don't know who golfed with him, but they said he was insane. What's up, Gillian?

Zach from Massachusetts here. In college right now, you match Boston, and I have a question for you. Who do you think is gonna take it all away in the college football playoffs this year? I mean, they haven't started yet, but who do you think is gonna take it all away? And I have a trivia question for you.

What team did John Elmer get drafted back? Baltimore Colts. Do I watch here on podcast? Who do you add? Baltimore Colts. Baltimore Colts said he was gonna be a Yankee and went to Denver. You got me, Zach.

But on, you got me again with the college football shit. You know, Zach, I don't know who's gonna win because it's so new and we're not accustomed to seeing all these teams play each other. And this whole home field advantage is crazy. What I'm really excited for Oregon right now being, you know, growing up in California, I always watched the Pac-10 and the Pac-12

and if they go in the Big Ten, and right now what we're watching this, they're Big Ten champs, that's such a slap, that's such a slap in the face of Big Ten. And then they go out and win the Natty. That would be sick. Oregon, let's go Oregon. I'm standing like a duck.

Ducks flying V, let's get a knuckle puck in there. Let's get a Fulton to give a, oh wrong sport. Yeah, but ducks stick together. I dig it, I dig it. It'd be so weird if Oregon won the Big Ten and SMU won the ACC. I know. First year they're there though, that's kind of crazy.

So weird. That is college football in a nutshell. I like it though, it's so fun. It's fun watching these new matchups. It's gonna be fun college. Like Wisconsin was, like Wisconsin playing Oregon. Like if they didn't play in the same conference, Oregon would have been up for that, but they've been playing new teams every week. So like almost losing to Wisconsin, they don't know how to play

them. They even played them very often. I don't think also the travel, you know, yeah, they're pro athletes. So I don't care about that time zone travel. Good. They're getting paid millions of bucks now. Bro, they ain't no amateurs no more. These boys getting paid. You could deal with a goddamn time change because I remember scrapping money for fucking Cheetos when I was in college. So you think Oregon Oregon's going to win?

That's your that's your gut. I'm going to Oregon. You got you got one Jack Notre Dame. I would like my domers to get in there, but I just, I don't know. I don't know. Oregon looks tough. You think Notre Dame's gonna get in?

I mean, there's six right now. He's a Notre Dame fan. They're like cowboy fans. They always think. Notre Dame is. Oh, don't put us in the same boat as those sad sacks. They always are like really, since Manti-Tayo, they've always been good.

Yeah, but then we kinda can't really win the big one. Never. I'm not arguing the big one. Never. I'm not arguing with that one. Gotta prove it, baby. Is Boise State gonna make it? They are currently getting a bye right now, which is crazy. Ashton Genting, man, that guy can play.

But I don't know, though. I don't know, they played Oregon really well. That's where Lil Shakira's from. Lil Shakira from Buffalo, from Boise State. I also want to give you a Signetti, baby. Signetti, Google me, I'm a winner. I also want to give you a signetti, baby. Signetti. Google me, I'm a winner. I mean, they've done some busting before.

They have. Ask some Bransky. Ask some Bransky. Ask Adrian Peterson. We've had them on here talking about it. Ask Bob Stoops. We like potatoes in Boise. We like blue turf.

In this house. Of nuts. Kyler, who's your pick, by the way? College football playoff. Paying wins. I'm going to root for Boise State just because I like the system being fucked up a little bit. And then the fact that like a team like Boise State actually has a chance for a national championship.

Be cool if they actually go and do it. That'd be cool. I don't think they will. But I'm going to be rooting for. What about BYU? That's right. Are they still good? After they lost Kansas, now they're in the 14th. Kansas is good though, right? Kansas only had like three wins and they went into Provo and knocked them off.

Oh no, Indiana. Indiana's great this year. Big 10. Big 10. At the time of recording this. Let's go. All right, last one here. I don't feel bad for the kids no more.

You know what I mean? Like if a kid had a bad game, the fact that they get money now, they ain't kids no more. Not when I saw the fucking Georgia parking lot and you see fucking seven Lamborghinis. Looking like a car show. Looking like, I was like, I played in the league for 12 years, we didn't even have,

we maybe had one Lamborghini in that bitch. But Tom Brady, he's rich. Down there in Athens, looked like Master Flex car show, bro. Little jokers miss a kick. You drop a ball, you driving the Lambo? Come on, bubs. Come on now.

No more bubbing meal swipes. Rent is due. Meal swipes. No meal swipes no more. They got fucking, jeez, meal swipe. Got the chef, they probably eat you guys. Which is deserving, it's deserving.

Oh yeah, it's about time. Hey fellas, this is Keith from Hooksit. Just wondering, what's the best gift you ever got? Keith, cool Keith. We did Christmas in my house with my brother and my sister. We did Christmas in my house with my brother and my sister. I remember once I asked for some three-piece cranks for my bike. They were these spiders, three-piece cranks, and I didn't get them. I was sitting there and I was like, man.

And we had like cool shoes and you get your, we used to get a sweatsuit for, you know, you get a bunch of cool stuff, maybe a video game. But I didn't get the three piece cranks. I was hurting. My dad pulled a Christmas story today. Why don't you go, go over and get some laundry out of the laundry room. Pissed off.

Didn't get my three piece cranks. Go open the thing. Three piece cranks were in there. So cool. Talk about Christmas with the cranks. Oh, that rocks. I remember that. That is Frank.

My dad did that. He always got one up his sleeve. He recycled that. He did that twice. He did that once with a VCR back when I was like seven and me and my brother shared a room. You guys got a VCR? We got a VCR. For you and Jason's room?

Yeah, and he put it in the laundry room again. He's like, oh, I want you to check the laundry room. Thought he'd be a slick. We got it probably the day before. Dad, you used this one before. Frank, I love that, that's a great move. A sneaky one. Ty guy, what about you, bro?

I was always the kid with the parents that wouldn't have junk food and we wouldn't have video games. So when friends would come over for sleepovers, they'd have to bring the PlayStation. And I got a PlayStation 2 late. I was maybe 14 or 15. It was the first gamer system I ever had and a PlayStation 2. And I played Tony Hawk 4 to my eyes bled. It was awesome. To your eyes bled. Maybe Madden, that would have been Madden 2004 or Madden with Vic on the cover. 2004 was with AP. I know five was Ray Lewis because it was anniversary.

I think circa this must have been about I want to say 98 Sega Dreamcast Yeah, all-timer ready to rumble and it was one of those where you're not for his time way before it's time It's the force of the internet access. It was incredible up there in Northboro, Mass, baby I'm at my grandma's house. Shout out Weston Terrace We're up there in your you know, yeah, no offense to the grandparents, but you're expecting like You know your socks your normal like grandparent gifts Dreamcast I

was floored dude Unbelievable. I wanted a dreamcast so bad one of my I was I wasn't I couldn't believe it had it had graphics capable of like ps2 I guess and this was like this was like 90. Yeah. Yeah, I remember one of my friends Andrew Hockaday His one of his parents worked for Sega what one of his parents worked for Sega and the other worked for Nabisco Oreos and dreamcast that's what we did at Andrew's house Oreos and dreamcast and he had what we did at Andrew's house. Oreos and Dreamcast. And he had the little fishing pole for the Dreamcast,

the different controllers, like no one had those games, but he had every game. Oh my God, yeah. I think we even went to Sega once, it's over in Redwood Shores. Oh, I didn't know that. I mean, I figured it was in the area somewhere, but geez. Well, they probably, they're all time. It was the first console to have a built-in modem. Yeah online game. Yeah

Insane and their graphics board is innovative game. It just it was too it was too ahead way too ahead Was it a smaller CD or was it a CD? It was a CD. Yeah CD But I remember when we flew back we had the games with us But we put it through security. And I don't know if it's the same way, but I remember learning this the hard way. If it goes through the belt at the airport, ruins the disc, erases the disc. Really? Yeah.

You lost all your games? All my games. Had to go buy new ones at Target. That's crazy. Those are 40 bucks. I know. Sonic, 2K, all that stuff. They had that Bassmaster Fisherman's game?

Bassmaster, yes. And I had, I would sit there for hours fishing. Motion sensing, peripheral. So far ahead of its time. Wow. Video chat, a link cable to a Neo Geo Pocket. Wait, they're just doing like, Sega's just unloading the clip in 98,

like 15 years before anyone else had a camera. It's like the XFL, remember how the XFL has a bunch of stuff that they use now, like SteadyCams. SteadyCams, the SkyCam. Well Vine and fucking TikTok. TikTok, same thing, bro. Yeah, it's the same thing.

Sometimes you're just too ahead. Did you do Ready to Rumble, there's a boxing. I loved the guy with the fro, it was awesome. He was the man. Yeah. It was awesome. WCW was always good too, and WWF. I think this was the same Christmas
