Benjamin Franklin is our subject for a new season with Walter Isaacson.
He's the most successful self-made business person in America.
A printer, a scientist, a founding father, but maybe not the guy we think we know.
Franklin casts his

and we're going to do a very different type episode today
we have the one and only drew bledsoe one of the founding blocks of the Patriots' success to help us go on and do what we did.
And we are here, and we're going to discuss the roast of Tom Brady.
Let's go.
Shoot the shit. It'll be fun.
And what are we drinking here?
So we got a little 2021 double back Cabernet to liven up the conversation.
Awesome.
That's our most recent vintage, and it's, yeah,
I think it's our highest scored wine yet.
Now, Washington wine?
Washington wine, Walla Walla, yeah, my hometown.
It's called Doubleback because I grew up in Walla Walla,
went off and played ball in the Doubleback and came back home.
Yeah.
And went back there mostly because they're my favorite wines in the world so yeah pretty cool
in your little hometowns turning out some killer wine yeah i mean i used to get the emails from you
all the time yeah we'll buy some more wine i was sitting there your lady hit me up i was on
a subscription fee for a while oh yeah wasn't i, I think you were outside. I'm fucking with you.
The only problem for you,
Jules, is that we still do magnums,
and the big bottles are...
I don't use magnums.
I'm joking.
I'm joking.
I can take that
all the way into the ditch, but we're not
roasting you.
We're not.
Everyone's been informed.
Roast mode.
Roast mode.
My wife finally told me,
she goes, look, you're not roasting me.
I mean, your brain goes to making fun
of everything right now.
Can you settle the fuck down?
Wait, it happened to you too, Drew?
Oh, dude.
We were around here.
We've just been ripping on each other.
You know, with the boys.
I mean, that's kind of how we.
But the punchline now.
Now everyone's like doing like a oh yeah today recently like no this is no
this is not what we do at home you know you can go do that with your buddies but you don't get
to roast me because you know your chicken was dry yeah whatever um so we had to uh we had to
button that up a little bit oh no but i'm gonna start to say that like you you kind of get screwed because like all my buddies that buy wine that played with all the way back to high school and all that
they get their jersey number unfortunately dude there's only 111 uh in the lineup every year so
um that one i'm keeping that one it's all good man i know i'm so happy i was so i remember you
left you came in like one of my rookie year, and you're like, you're wearing the number well, dude,
or something like that.
I remember, you know, because first of all, I'll be honest,
I was a little fucking pissed they gave you my number.
They gave you a Taekwondo.
He was pissed.
They were cycling that thing.
What the fuck are we doing?
No, but I remember, yeah, we were out there,
and, you know, obviously you were kind of breaking in, and you're already balling out and returning kicks and and doing stuff and
and i was like hey man proud to see you in the number the only thing you have to do the only
favor you have to do for me is just ball out and of course you did my god so fucking respect
i remember that people don't realize It's intimidating because Drew, wait up.
Drew is a legend in New England.
Like a fucking legend.
He's everywhere in the building.
I mean, when I say he's the founding father of the success,
like one of the foundations of the success, it's fucking true.
I remember seeing him for the first time and i never met him what you don't know about drew drew's a fucking large human you shake his hand
his hand wraps around my fucking hand he shakes it hard he looks he's looking at me and he goes
you're doing the you're doing the number well and like it took pressure off me man i felt like
because you get intimidated when you see drew bledsoe in the locker room a fucking like first second year player yeah
2000 2009 in the playoffs what was your uh you were what year you drafted oh nine oh nine yeah
yeah so it's yeah it was either it might have been might have been second year because you
you already you're already really kind of making a name for yourself at that point and as a matter of fact and so truth be told right all right so you got this
little fucking white guy that used to play quarterback you know playing receiver well
cool he's gonna wear number 11 for a year and then they're fucking that is gonna go back right
and instead man you go on and have this amazing fucking career and so went from being kind of
pissed that they gave the number away to actually
pretty fucking proud to watch the way that you represented the whole time and let's not forget
you can fucking spin it too so i mean you know i mean like you know i mean it's like you know
look if you're gonna wear the if you're gonna wear the the number 11 i i just respect the fact
that in addition to everything else you can actually fucking throw ah no drew that's why
i played receiver in the national football league no you can actually fucking throw. No, Drew, that's why I played receiver
in the National Football League.
No, you played receiver because you're short.
That too.
But if I could hit that 20-yard out like you guys,
I still could have done it.
I could read the shit.
Hey, that arm made it into Bill's jokes last night.
Oh, yeah.
Bill made some jokes about you throwing that thing.
The big throws, the big throws.
No, actually, actually. No, he was. Yeah, he was. Bill made some jokes about you throwing that thing. The big throws. No, actually.
Actually, Julian made those jokes.
What'd you think of Bill's bit?
I thought he did all right.
Yeah.
I thought when they rolled out that TV thing with Segura and Kreischer, I thought that
was going to be Bill putting up like plays or something.
Right. I thought that was going to be Bill putting up plays or something. Right.
I thought that would have been fucking hilarious.
If he was just up there roasting us like, look.
And it would be such a Bill way of fucking making fun of some,
look, you didn't even double team that guy.
It wasn't hip to hip.
Right.
It would have actually been pretty good.
Yeah.
They could have steered into that pretty hard
Yeah, but I don't I don't know if enough the the writers and producers
I'll actually really understand that shit in a way to in a way to actually make it funny
So they would have had to bring like, you know us in yeah, like hey, you know
What do we what are we gonna build diagram so he can fuck with element because you know to do that?
Foxboro High School could have done this and you can't and I give me which
Which is pretty it's funny. I think a few you guys mentioned High School could have done this, and you can't. I mean, which is pretty funny.
I think a few of you guys mentioned that shit.
I fucking did the impression at him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, right?
I go, look, asshole, Foxborough High is the only team that offered you a fucking...
Dude, you actually imitate him pretty good.
You do a pretty good job imitating him.
But he was, you know, yeah, I thought he was good.
I didn't, they were kind of hemming and hawing as to whether he was even going to be there.
They didn't want to commit to it.
They didn't want to commit to it.
And then I thought it was, you know, for him,
I thought it was really good.
Yeah.
Like the fact that he, number one, showed up
and then he was pretty funny in his awkward way.
Yeah.
You know?
So, yeah, that was pretty good.
Now, Pre-show
We're in the green room
And
Remember that
Remember you in there
Mm-hmm
And fucking
Bill's opening up
He's having fun
He's talking war stories
We're talking rookie skits
We're talking fun shit
I'm
Doing shit we know
What Bill's all about
Mm-hmm But it was like amplified Because he was excited To see you guys Because he doesn't have A job anymore Talking rookie skits or talking fun shit. Doing shit we know what Bill's all about.
But it was like amplified because he was excited to see you guys because he doesn't have a job anymore.
Randy, Drew, me, Gronk.
We were just chilling in there.
And my brother and my buddy.
And the funny thing is, or interesting thing is,
I think I was kind of gone when it first sort of happened.
And then Kraft walks in.
That's what I was about to just say.
Yeah, and then Kraft walks in.
And so my brother was feeling sorry for himself
because he's over there and Belichick's kind of holding court.
Well, as he's in the middle of the story, Kraft walks in.
And so you guys all go over to say hi to Kraft.
I didn't move.
And the last man standing, to hear him tell last and the last man standing to hear him tell
the last man standing is my bro and he's like well bill's bill's telling the story if i leave
then he's telling the story to nobody because everybody's over saying how to craft and then uh
but they did they did break it down and got together for i don't know probably i don't know
10 minutes at least the two of them tension in that room, though. It was. It was real. Good cut fucking glass.
It was very real.
It was very real.
I was so awkward.
I was like, I was watching Coach, and I tried to give Coach a heads up.
I'm like, I see Kraft walk in.
I'm like, yo, Coach, woo!
You know, like, he's in some locker room shit, like, 5-0, 5-0.
You know, like, of course he didn't fucking see it right and he came
in and i was like oh shit this could be fireworks i just walked away i didn't want to get in there
how crazy how wild was that last no man that was that was that was some that was some crazy shit
man i mean that was some crazy no did bill really i mean did tom really get mad at fucking uh
jeff ross for doing uh so you know we were looking at that we were looking at that today and and No, did Bill really I mean did Tom really get mad at fucking Jeff Ross
For doing so you know we were that we were looking at that today and and you know, we're sitting up there It's it certainly was on the teleprompter. Yeah
and
Yeah, I don't know if that was part of the script or not, but it seemed like it seemed that seemed sincere
Yeah, like hey man. No, you don't go there
Which by the way, you know, I did you know that Kraft was gonna be there?
I didn't know he's gonna be there until like yesterday yeah but like right when we
did it i heard that um and they did that intentionally so that all these comedians
didn't go too deep on the you know massage jokes and and all that all that shit we don't yeah and
um yeah which was smart there are some crazy ones that we had. Alex Guerrero Incorporation.
Massage.
So I will,
I will.
Get a massage in a strip mall like Robert Kraft.
The only person I think the whole time,
well,
other than Aaron Hernandez,
he took a lot of jokes.
So,
you know,
RIP.
You know,
rest in peace.
Or rest in hell or whatever.
Love him to death, but he didn't hurt three people.
Alex Guerrero,
he took it on the chin a bunch.
You should be used to that by now, right?
Rest mode.
By the way,
so many fucking gay jokes, dude.
What happened there what happened
there after i left dude i mean what's the shower scene going on because it wasn't a bunch of that
stuff happening when i was there national geographic bird watchers everywhere in there
right people just watching birds left and right drew yeah no i i mean i mean look we can we can
all be honest like there's sometimes you're sitting in locker room and need some
Dude walks by and you can't help me. He's got this hanging between his legs
Yeah, a lot of gay shit going on but I felt but I felt back felt bad for Alex because he's like he's just sitting in
The audience and doesn't get to come up and fire back at anybody
I mean, I didn't really feel bad for him.
I don't give a fuck.
Yeah, right.
But you know what?
It's like, no, if you're going to go after somebody,
it's only if they can come back and get back after you.
Yeah, Alex was roasting me right before the damn roast.
Oh, was he really?
Yeah, and I was like, all right, Al, I got you.
I had a little joke.
Were you drinking pretty heavily there or you what
you had a couple drinks were you toast at the end because i was toasty by the end yeah i stayed out
of the tequila with you guys i was just drinking what red wine which that's that's a little more
mellow but um yeah we had some margaritas for lunch and a couple cocktails in the green room
and all that so i had my i was i was kind of surfing the you you know,.12 somewhere. Yeah.
Just had to make sure that the buzz was right so I didn't seem super hammered.
Yeah, I didn't want to get hammered before I went out.
No, that's why I was happy to go early.
I was pissed I had to go late.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You were supposed to go third.
They had a hell of a lot of people, though.
There was people coming, like, in the woodworks, like the woodworks like every day like oh this guy's coming out
This guy's yeah, what about like?
Kardashian
I didn't understand why that was weird. Why don't I don't I don't know that old I don't know why they boot or
either but I don't but
What why?
Her PR people was like, the event's probably amazing.
Let's get her on.
Her set was actually pretty good, though.
Her jokes were funny.
It was just not the right for her.
It didn't fit.
Those boobs.
Yeah, there was some good...
She did have some solid material.
She got a tough skin.
Oh, well, she...
She got a tough...
Yeah?
Yeah. she got a tough skin oh well she got a tough sometimes too
yeah
no that one was
that one was kind of weird
and then
obviously your
your buddy
Ben Affleck
man that was
I'm sitting there next to Randy
and Lena was like
hey man what the fuck is he talking about?
Like, I couldn't figure out what he was talking about.
Yeah.
You know, I think he was talking about, you know,
Twitter critics or something.
But it was awkward.
Did you guys know?
How did it look?
Because sometimes we were getting messed up hearing.
Social media.
Because we were behind speakers.
Yeah.
So we didn't get to really Sometimes you really couldn't hear
Was he as bad as he sounded?
It was a little
It was rambling a little bit
People were looking around
I love Ben and I wanted it to be awesome
That's what Ben gets for talking shit about our receiver core
In fucking 2019
You think I don't remember that Aflac?
I still remember that
Aflac
He's the duck Oh Gilbert Godfrey ass I still remember that. Affleck. Affleck.
He's a duck.
Old Gilbert Gottfried ass.
Take us through the process of this roast.
How did they ask you?
Who approached you?
And what was your feelings going into this thing?
Yeah, it was, was it Jen Aiello from the NFL?
Yeah, she reached out. I don't know. I can't even when and initially I said I can't make it because we had a you know
For the winery with a big, you know
deal going on up there and
called and begged and
like alright cool and I
First of all, it sounds fun, you know and
So we were able to we were able to make it happen a couple weeks ago and then uh
and then we sat down and they're like you know my brother and uh my wife actually threw a joke in
and uh like just started throwing out some material at them and then um they came back
the one thing i did really appreciate with the writers was i was i felt like it wasn't maybe my place to just throw in a wine plug and they wrote the wine material like
fuck yeah let's get it in there let's see you know we're gonna do we're gonna do this let's
let's let's throw something in there um and then just went back and forth and back and forth and
and uh you know there were a couple things that i i just didn't like they wanted to do a lot of
like september 2001 you know stuff but the well they gave Tom the that
Jets the Jets, you know crashing into me. So they wanted they wanted they wanted me to do that
I'm like, yeah, that's not really I don't really but I thought it worked well for Tom
and then the other and then the
like the Packers stuff with
With far of it's kind of like we're talking about, you know, like hey look if he's not there you know you can't uh you can't go at him yeah when he's not there
um so we went back and forth a little bit and my and then my uh my wife did veto one
Giselle joke yeah yeah then no I'm not gonna tell you not not on here I'll tell you later but but
but but she I had a joke yeah no like I mean. I mean, obviously, you can go all the way, but Mario was like, mm-mm.
It was something like, we all know what Tom Brady's favorite term is.
What is it?
Let's go.
Let's go.
Guy trademarked it.
His name is Podcast.
It's also what his wife said when she took the kids and left.
Let's go.
Right. That's fair, let's go right I hate that
story that got actually killed
let's go
did you do any prep
the night before we went
kind of ran through the
teleprompter stuff real quick
it was interesting because I was thinking
when we got there
I was like actually I think I feel more comfortable like doing this thing live with
the audience um than i did because you know you'll read the prompter and then you got a bunch of like
stand-ins there and you know and they're laughing at the jokes because they were told laugh at the
fucking joke so but so but it felt so you know disingenuous like okay well are they actually
really laughing at these fucking jokes or are they just being nice um and uh so then when you know
when it's live we're like all right cool we'll go and um and then you can go as long as you want to
it was fun yeah no i went uh i was fucking nervous when they asked me to do this thing
well i mean look man it's you we're you know go play football in front of a few million people I was fucking nervous when they asked me to do this thing. Well, I mean, look, man.
Go play football in front of a few million people.
Cool.
We've been doing that our whole lives. We know exactly what we're doing.
You know, not to do this shit.
You know, are you going to go do comedy in front of a few million people?
And, dude, I've never done stand-up before.
You ever fucking, I mean, I've done a lot of public speaking,
but never gone up and like, hey, all right, we're going to do a comedy set.
It's different
when you have to make people laugh yeah like you have to go do something yeah when you're public
speaking you're doing a q a you're telling stuff you know you're telling a story right when you
have a objective to go out and you actually have to like execute under pressure yeah i was nervous
as fuck and so jeff actually we're doing the same thing me kyler and jack
we were sitting in the room and we were just talking with uh there were their writers we
threw out a bunch of jokes and jeff ross he goes he could feel he could feel that i was a little
nervous you know and he goes hey why don't you come with me to the comedy store and do your
practice your set oh really
yeah oh that's a great idea so i went thursday and i did my set on thursday
and i thought the comedy store was harder than the fucking the the right yeah the show because
it's such an intimate setting i was like shaking like it's just it was scary that was the first
time i ever done any kind of stand-up shit right right yeah yeah i can see that for sure and you know
and then you go there you know everybody's showing up there because they know all the
stuff about tom and the sports fans and all that stuff you go to the comedy store and you know
might have some uh dude from armenia that uh that you know doesn't even know what shape of football is. It's a soccer ball.
Or a guy from New Jersey who hates your guts.
Just man.
Bro, I got to say, Clutch Gene,
you killed both of them. I know I gassed you up and bumped your tires on here, but...
Stop glazing, dog.
You guys both, man. This guy loves a glazed out.
I'm Jay, baby. I'm Jay Glazing.
When Jules was running his set before the comedy show,
I was nervous.
Actually, the only time I did sort of a dry run on it was actually for my wife.
She's like, all right, if I'm going to sign off on you doing this,
I need to know what you're going to say, right?
Because she was – she and then my kids, each of my four kids,
individually called because they were so nervous about oh dude oh
my god dad's gonna freaking embarrass us you know and uh so they all they all wanted to they all
wanted to hear some of the jokes and like okay okay all right that's actually pretty funny all
right go good you're good um so we we ran that for but but yeah i mean it's nerve-wracking when
you're doing something you've never done in front of, you know, I'm assuming a few million people. Yeah.
Drew, who's the toughest critic in the Bledsoe family?
You were like, oh, fuck.
Probably my daughter.
We have three sons and a daughter.
My daughter's 21.
And she's a great girl.
She's a little more buttoned up than the rest of the family,
which is not a huge compliment. But, yeah'll she'll give me the big eye roll and uh and you know and so yeah she wanted
to hear but the uh yeah the the one and again i'm not telling you the joke but the one giselle joke
that didn't go in my wife actually told our daughter and it's a pretty fucking nasty joke
uh and she goes okay i gotta, and hung up the phone.
She's like, no, this is not happening.
I'm not signing up on this.
There's no way Dad's saying that.
I heard pregame, pre-show, that Kevin Hart was debating
on coming out in like a jiu-jitsu robe or something.
Jesus, dude.
I was thinking Jeff Ross might.
Yo, so I didn't know if that was on limits, but once Kevin went in, I mean, he was going balls deep.
Dude, all, he was all in.
Dude, how fucking great was he last night, too?
Because same deal.
Like, we're sitting up there.
We're looking at the property.
Dude, he was rolling his own stuff, like, and, you know.
Unreal.
That's when you know somebody's super super talented you just
get up there and like hey we're just going to run with this in the middle of a few million people
i'm in front of a few million people and uh and and crush it yeah i was i i've been talking about
that as well because we can see the prompters yeah right and so you could see who was kind of
you know improv in who wasn't all the pros they could like say what the prompter said in a
different way and then bring a story into it reference something that someone said like and
that's what Kevin was doing and he was a you could tell you that dude's a pro he makes that
money for a reason yeah no doubt no doubt yeah it was yeah he was dude how cool was it that like
Chappelle was there last night just to watch yeah and Shane Gillis is there last night just to watch and Shane Gillis is there last night just to watch. Yeah
and
Yeah, we went to the Comedy Store after and and watched
Ended up watching Chappelle for about an hour
just sit on stage and
Kind of talk to the audience like he'd have him material or whatever just but dude
He's to me is that he's the certainly the greatest living comedian in my mind yeah um but yeah those guys
those guys showed up just to watch this shit well it's comedy fest right now right yeah yeah so
everyone's in town right right and you know the comics they all they are all very supportive of
each other yeah you know what i mean and jeff's kind of, you know, he's been in that world.
And they all, everyone, you know, they're all friends.
And they go out and support each other.
And hate each other.
And hate each other.
Any other, huh?
Oh, yeah.
No, yeah, absolutely.

You know, like you kind of, it's like Will Ferrell was there today, right?
And so I'm spending time with him, talk to him a little bit.
And you go talk to him.
For me, it's kind of hard to keep a straight face because I'm looking at this guy like,
dude, that's fucking Ron Burgundy.
You know, that's, you know, that's, you know burgundy you know that's you know that's um you know all of his famous you know it's uh ricky bobby
you know it's all this stuff and then you're just having a normal conversation with this person
and you're like god this is kind of weird man you know and uh i mean you know they're smart and good
people but you know i think i sort of had in my mind that you know you go talk to a to a comedian yeah you can
sit down he's gonna be funny the whole time and you're like no actually there's no people and
they make people laugh you know for work you can tell they're smart yes yeah the good ones that the
good ones have to be smart and they got to be wicked quick yeah and they're witty as fuck yes
off top of shit like if they i don't know how good was ron or will ferrell last night that's
pretty fun oh dude that was so great yeah he also was one of the guys that was going off the script
oh yeah oh yeah no he was yeah he was yeah he was he was rolling with his own stuff and because you
know saying we're sitting there watching the prompter and like giselle what do you call her Yeah. Guzzly. Guzzly. Guzzly.
Just so good.
He was at Madison Square Garden.
I could just see, like, dude.
Yeah, he's there.
I mean, it was, it was, it was.
How about those knickerbockers?
But yeah, we're sitting there watching, and like, wow, he's been going for a while, and he hasn't even started his prepared material.
But yeah, that was, But yeah, that was awesome.
When did you know he was going to show up?
I didn't know until he walked out, personally.
That one shocked me.
Did you know he was going to be there?
Maybe like right before the show.
I didn't know shit either.
It was a very big surprise.
Right.
Yeah, I didn't know Peyton was going to be there.
Oh, so I go to take a piss.
Oh, yeah, Peyton either.
And I see Peyton in the green room.
Okay.
Like, what the fuck are you doing here?
Mm-hmm.
He goes, join the rest.
I was like, he goes, don't tell anyone.
I'm like, I'm telling everyone.
Social media's out.
Let's put it out on Twitter right now.
Yeah.
Because they said something earlier.
They said that Eli was going to be there as well,
which that would have been kind of funny too.
But, yeah. No, it was Gronk killed, you know, you killed.
I thought Randy did a great job.
I do think he was really nervous.
And, dude, and then the pros come
out and there's a reason they're pros oh yeah dude nikki glazer she was funny dude she got mvp
oh my god yeah right i think i heard her i told her after we'd because we we bumped she was uh
she was you know at the after party i went over and talked to her i was like i think you're kind of a bond villain because you're super hot yeah and you are an absolute
killer you know like she's just like you know and and then you talk to her in person and she's the
sweetest nicest person you could ever freaking meet but dude her set killed yeah i had some
intel i knew she was going to hit me with the with the gay joke
because one of my friends was uh everybody's saying it jules and everybody's saying it i
mean dude just go ahead and come on out dude as bella check say you suck one you're a sucker
yeah right i wish i would i love this problem I wish I had a lot less problems and a lot more money.
Jeff Ross, though, dude, I mean, how great is that fucking dude?
He's awesome.
Your Jewish joke on him was perfect.
It was spot on.
I saw where you were going, like your piece of it.
You're like, hey, you know, I'm the Jewish guy.
Everybody's like, wow, you're Jewish?
And you're the Jewish guy.
And I knew you were going to say something,
but then you went, make people want to join Hamas.
I'm like, dude, dude, dude, that was fucking funny.
Didn't Jeff say he's going to use that when we were telling him to come to the store?
Or something like that?
Jeff was awesome because when he was at the store.
That was ours?
Yeah.
No, that was ours.
That was ours.
After the comedy store, Jeff sat with us for about 30 minutes, 35 minutes, and went over the script.
Okay, cut that.
That was good.
You know what?
That's not you.
That's too deep.
He was super supportive.
He was in on your creative meetings?
He was in. He was on my. I only had one zoom call with him yeah and he was there he was there for that one
and um i just kind of ran through some of the stuff that we had down and then and then you
know i think he chimed in a little bit but but left it but you know one of the things i mean
you're just talking about these comedians and how supportive they are of each other and and um and all of that stuff like like the guys oh yeah let's go let's go and uh appreciate
it the um um it's wine o'clock they're so generous like that like the like these people that are like
jeff ross you know um kevin all these all these people are generous and supportive and there's
there's a there's a camaraderie there where they're like and i you know there's also like even if you're
being mercenary there's a motive there because you know if we go up there and fucking bomb then
the show loses all its energy and so they don't want us to bomb either yeah but you know but yeah
just just so generous and helping out and uh being supportive of each other and and helped us out too
which is cool definitely and it made us feel a lot more comfortable yeah for sure look at you
looking like stud you're dressed to impress who dressed you me i had that so this this uh this
black shirt that i'm wearing i almost threw it out it's a it's the only versace i've ever had in my
life and i've had it shoot for i don, I don't know, 15, 20 years.
It was almost gone.
I'm like, oh, you know what?
We're going to go black on black with the old tuxedo top.
I like it.
Yeah.
So going early was probably, you preferred that.
Yeah, that was, yeah, mostly because, dude, I just wanted to be done.
Yeah. Because I don't know how you were, but when I'm sitting up there before I'm going, that was uh that was yeah i mostly mostly because dude i wanted i just wanted to be done yeah
because i don't know how you were but when i'm sitting up there before i'm going i'm like i'm
not even really paying attention to like kevin and jeff because i'm in my head like okay this is
i gotta do this i gotta do this and i like and so i mean i knew there were some laughs and stuff but
but once i was done dude i'm off the clock yeah and i can
just giggle yeah were you uh were you kind of were you in your own head until you're until you're set
definitely i mean i i downloaded my script my jokes on my uh my phone so i i just peep over
them here and there but i mean i was pretty calm i was pretty you stuck the landing dude i mean like dude there were as far as we could tell there were no nerves you know um but you uh yeah
you stuck to it if i didn't do that comedy store i would have been shot right you know that
i had the rep yeah right yeah yeah just one just one even just yeah just one walk through very good now how crazy was it to see all three of those guys in the room together bill
craft and tony yeah i mean how crazy was that it was surreal yeah it was uh that was cool man i'd
you know i i i know that there's you know that the whole thing is complicated and you know that stuff
better and better than I do.
But, yeah, at the end of the day, though, there's still a lot of respect across the board amongst all three of them.
I think it was good to see Bill there for Tom.
Yeah.
No, 100%. Yeah.
I think it was good for Tom.
I think it was good for Bill.
And it was, yeah, i was glad he showed up
i really was glad that bill showed up he's still so funny though man we go back there and like he's
not coaching he's like we go back to do that cold open deal we're gonna film that that little piece
first of all it took him like eight takes like dude bill it's like one sentence you know um and i
you didn't say that i didn't say that but that's what i'm thinking yeah and uh but then
like dude like you're not coaching right now and then it immediately goes straight into ball
like he just it's just all ball all the time even now that he's not coaching you know and uh
yeah it's interesting it'll be interesting to see where he goes next year. Yeah. Yeah.
What do you think?
Where do you think he lands?
Well, it depends.
How good the Cowboys, the Philly does.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Giants.
Giants.
My conspiracy theory was that when Saban retired, that Saban and Bill were going to get together
and go like one last hurrah together somewhere.
You think?
I don't think.
I just like, you know, sort of like one of those.
Let's go one last hurrah together and go take over either a college
or a pro program.
I don't think they'll go college.
No one wants to.
This college. Nobody wants to go college no one wants this
college nobody wants to go college college you have to you have free agency everyone's on a
one-year deal not even a one-year deal like a month-to-month deal yeah like dude you finish
up spring ball and you got your secondary and all of a sudden they all go to you know lsu
yeah and uh you know small schools like ours you know we're just farm teams you know, small schools like ours, you know, we're just farm teams.
Yeah, you were a Pac-12 team or Pac-10 team.
Yeah, we were a Pac-10 team.
And, you know, so, I mean, we were underdogs because we were a smaller,
you know, smaller school.
But we were still part of the Pac, you know, Pac-10 and then the Pac-12.
And then when that all changed, man, you know,
you go find that diamond in the rough. You know, you go find your Julian Edelman, you know, that's under-recruited or whatever,
and he comes in and balls out.
And next thing you know, boom, NIL, gone, right?
Yeah.
And I was thinking about it.
If I was at Kent State and I had my first year, I was like second team all-American,
I would have went to Oregon.
I would have got the fuck out of there.
Dude, we were going, this was going so well, dude. I fucking hate Oregon. Don't tell me you would have went to oregon i would got the out of there dude we were going this was going so well dude yeah i hate oregon don't tell me you would have gone to oregon
that was the time where they had a offense like a as a quarterback dude it's over come on can we cut
so my hatred for the ducks is twofold when i was in in school they were they were bad like they
were shitty at football but they
played great against me yeah right so i took that personally and then we live in oregon so we're
surrounded by all these duck fans that think they invented fucking football and they're so annoying
so anyway i forgive you you didn't go to oregon but it just man it hits a nerve man i hate but
yeah you yeah you know yeah you would like especially you know for for you if you're if
you're you know the athlete that you, if you're, you know,
the athlete that you are and you're playing quarterback,
you get into some, you know, RPO deal.
Dude, you'd live the fucking world on fire.
Yeah, it would have been.
It's just this whole college football thing, though.
Yeah, it's rough, man. I don't like it.
They're going to have to do something.
Yeah.
Actually, I think, I don't know if it's an original thought or not,
but Chip Kelly, I thought, had, like, the appropriate answer. Separate football. Make football its own thing. Yeah. I think, actually, I think, I don't know if it's an original thought or not, but Chip Kelly, I thought, had the appropriate answer.
Separate football.
Make football its own thing.
Yeah.
And then you can move that around.
But you don't punish all these Olympic athletes that are having to travel
to fucking Rutgers to go swim or, you know.
It's absurd.
I love how it's always Rutgers.
They're kind of the whipping boy, right?
Yeah.
It's the end of the earth. It's the end of the earth. It uh uh r.i.p to the pac-12 huh sad right that's i i grew up a pac-10 guy or pac-10 guy i
rooted for him yeah i liked berkeley i lived in stanford area and shit yeah a lot of history man
that's it's it's three
generations for our family my dad played for the washington huskies and then um i played for the
cougs my brother uh played for the colorado buffs which they weren't part of the pack at that point
yeah uh and then my son played for the cougs you know so it's like man three generations and
all of a sudden it's like it's just not going to exist anymore it's it's weird man it's so weird
but honestly it's on the leadership of the pack 10 they fucked it up i think it might even it's just not going to exist anymore. It's weird, man. It's so weird. But honestly, it's on the leadership of the Pac-10.
They fucked it up.
I think it might even, I think it even goes deeper than that.
The universities.
It's on the university presidents that have mismanaged.
They got to grab for money wherever they can.
So it sucks, man.
I hate it.
It's sad.
Yeah, it is sad.
It is sad.
I mean, the coolest thing in the world was the Rose Bowl.
Fuck yeah, right?
You know, it's like, yeah.
Pac-10 playing the Big Ten.
That was the thing, man.
And that was sort of the pinnacle, at least if you're, you know,
those two conferences.
There was no, you know.
Maybe I'm just being old and nostalgic, but, dude, that was so cool.
That was the best.
The pageantry of it was so cool.
I mean, you're like 30 years older than me, and that was cool to me too, bro.
Go fuck yourself, dude.
Jackie, why don't you break down these roasters?
Who was at this roast?
All right.
I mean, this was a star.
We love talking star power on this pod.
This was star-studded last night.
For everyone that has been living under a rock
and might not have seen it last night,
Kevin Hart, Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Drew Bledsoe,
Gronk, Moss, Belichick, Peyton Manning, Ben Affleck, Will Ferrell, Azron Burgundy, Andrew Schultz, Sam Jay, Jeff Ross, Dana White, Kim Kardashian, Tom Segura, Burt Kreischer, Tony Hinton.
John Harbaugh was in the crowd.
That's just who was in the crowd.
Did you see Rich Eisen?
Rich Eisen?
No, Jim.
Was John up there too?
We saw Jim in the parking lot.
Jim Harbaugh. We saw Jim in the parking lot. Jim Harbaugh.
We saw Jim in the parking lot.
Jim was there.
Yeah.
And then I saw Kyle Shanahan.
He was fresh out of his RV.
Speaking of how fucking old I am.
Kyle Shanahan.
Yeah, like, you know, Jim, we were contemporaries, right?
Yeah.
So, yeah, I think we were in the Pro Bowl together one year.
And he was always a little bit odd, but he's a hell of a coach.
Yeah.
Sorry, Jim. Love you, man. That a hell of a coach. Yeah. I remember...
Sorry, Jim.
Love you, man.
That's an understatement.
Sorry, Jim.
Love you, man.
How do you think he's going to do
in the Chargers?
Justin Herbert, right,
to me,
is so friggin' talented.
I think he's one of the...
He's in that very, very top tier.
Came from a great university.
Shut the fuck up.
That's how much...
That's how much...
That's how much I love Justin Herbert,
is that I actually love him even though he played for the Ducks.
Yeah.
And to come back and just bring that back around,
the Ducks wasted him.
Yeah.
He should have been lighting the world on fire,
and their offense wasn't the right one for him.
But I really hope that Jim's able to put some stuff around Justin Herbert
because I think he's a special kid.
Dude, I think he's going to be a lot better
because they're going to run the ball.
They're going to have a play-action game.
He can move.
You're going to get him under the center.
Just not rely on the kid the whole time.
Yeah, right.
Don't just put it all on him.
I was trying to figure out what the heck i did to
sam jay like we'd never met man and she went in on me hard no she went in on hard which was uh
which is like wow man you any jokes her she's coming on wednesday oh is she really yeah

I'm not going to do it as well as Tony, of course.
Bert Kreischer is a king.
He looks like the Tiger King
and the Liver King. Only ate at
Burger King and had a liver that
looked like Martin Luther King who got
beat up by Rodney King.
I got
back right when he was saying that. I was like,
whoa!
That was a lot of shit in a
hurry, man. It was great.
That's like some Eminemm level wordplay super great
man yeah i gotta go re-watch that one oh no dude and then um um our boy uh andrew schultz that
closed it out i i talked to him for a minute afterwards uh coolest video i saw him was when
he first you know got his the first gig at madison square garden he took his dad yeah to go walk
around and like i mean it just was cool man he took his dad yeah to go walk around and like
i mean it just was cool man he realized his dream you know of making it yeah um great freaking dude
and he slayed it too yeah i i didn't i didn't get to i i didn't get by the time he came on i think
i couldn't hear yeah i it was sort of i was uh i was kind of, it was sort of, I was kind of going, it was sort of like watching, you know,
it was sort of like watching the movie with the subtitles on.
We could read the prompter.
Which I also, I tried not to watch it because I wanted to like.
Listen to the joke.
Listen to the joke, but like, oh, shit, oh, that's going to be funny.
Right?
You know?
So I was able to kind of keep up with it a little bit.
But I actually, I'm looking forward to going back and up with it a little bit but I actually
I'm looking forward to going back and actually
yeah same here
I did a little bit
last night it's definitely a different product
on Netflix like
being in the building you don't get the reactions
of everyone like there's little stuff you miss
when they like hone in on like someone who's getting
roasted like it just adds a nice little element
that uh yeah definitely well I know they're gonna edit it down probably for time right
you know not really it's a streamer yeah yeah but i think i think they're gonna tighten it up
but how about fucking chrysler walking around the after party with his with his shirt off
standard i mean just as i dude go ahead and then so the crazy thing is that that my bro and our dinner buddy
Sat at the table with his wife. Yeah, and you guys didn't even know it was his wife, right?
I just thought she was there to support him and just an absolute sweetheart like the kindest cutest little thing and
Like um poor thing you that's that's this is what this is what you
sleep with every night like holy sheep shit frank get in the car remember like when frank the tank's
fucking streaking yeah yeah right yeah frank but she's like she's cute she's sweet yeah funny and
and obviously he's a great dude.
Otherwise he's not with her.
But yeah, man, it was funny.
I did think, who hit him with the bit?
Like, dude, you don't even know how to be a fat comedian.
You don't do drugs and you only fuck your wife.
I think that was Sam Jay also.
Oh, man. I think it was
I really like it man
I really really like stand up
so when we were out in Boston
we would go to the comedy connection quite a bit
as a matter of fact
Dane Cook was there
at the after party I don't know if you saw him
he was wearing a J11 shirt
in 2014 saw that OG fan overpriced
fucking bullshit the uh the uh the uh um shit where was i going with that um
oh yeah yeah back in boston yeah and watch live comedy up there. Where is that?
In Faneuil Hall.
Faneuil Hall.
Yeah.
I don't know if it's still there or not.
I don't know.
Maybe they rebranded it or whatever.
But, man, we saw some great, great comics.
And Dane Cook was the host, though.
Like, he was just getting going.
So he was, like, the guy that would come and introduce everybody else and do a couple jokes and um i mean yeah we saw tommy davidson there um who crushed and then i don't know if you remember
anthony clark but he he actually like punished us like like we're adam was there and we literally
like are putting our heads under the table and covering our ears because we couldn't breathe
yeah it was killing so no i did i, the great stand-ups are fucking amazing.
You know, when I started this podcast,
we originally had Sam Morrell on it.
Okay.
He was my co-host.
He's a comic out of New York.
And I was living in New York,
or we were producing it, first season out of New York.
And so we would go hang out with them at the Cellar.
Okay.
Down in, like, the Comedy Cellar.
Right.
And so we'd go out there, and we'd just go to watch him do his bits,
and then we'd go into the back room, and Shane Gillis would be there,
and all these comics were there.
And so then to come out here, and I used to go to the store a lot,
the Laugh Factory.
You know, it's just a fun, it's a good night when you go it's a great night man you go friends it's a fun date yeah you know it absolutely it's it's fucking fun it makes you laugh
it gets you out of it's good for you it's good for your health yeah i'm supposed to laugh a lot
we went to uh friday we went to the hollywood bowl
and watched bill burr did you uh it was fun yeah it was funny so we we played golf with with bill burr this afternoon and uh and it was first time i'd met him we'd like exchange testament text
messages and stuff and uh um we were playing and and my my bro says he goes dude isn't it weird
you feel like you've known him for like 15 years.
Because we've been listening to his stuff for so long.
Yeah.
And his style is like he's sitting here, right?
You know, he's up there.
It's like you're sitting around, and you're like, dude, I feel like I know this frigging guy.
Yeah.
And then he was exactly the guy that we wanted him to be.
Yeah.
But yeah, he dude he he
kills i saw him so the night i went to the store right we saw him he did a set he was practicing
or something and just like you said i thought i knew him i thought we met already right he's like
nice to meet you for the first time i'm like like, what the fuck? Dude, I... Because he did our, like, documentary.
And, like, I wasn't there,
but, like, I felt like I've met him somewhere.
Yeah.
Because you feel like you know him.
We've watched all his shit.
He's a Boston guy.
You know what I mean?
And he's exactly what you said.
When you meet him, he's what you want him to be.
It was kind of cool.
You know, and I don't know if this is interesting enough
for the podcast, but I think you'll like to hear it.
You guys can cut it later if you want to.
But I was asking about his process.
Yeah.
Or how he broke in, right?
How'd you break in?
He goes, well, I just discovered I wasn't very good at anything else
except for making people laugh.
But he said the hardest part when you first break in
is you get on stage or they call your name,
you walk up on stage, and you've got all these
stories and jokes that you've been telling to your buddies that make them laugh and then you
get on stage and all of a sudden that goes away and now you're like you're just performing and
he said the hardest part was um getting to the point where he was confident enough that he could
just go talk on stage like he would talk in his living room yeah and now he's completely accomplished
that because we all feel like we're we all feel like we know him right yeah you know which is cool and that was
that was fun watching chapelle um sit there last night you know and he wasn't doing a set he you
know he didn't kill but dude it was like just watching it's like watching like a great jazz
musician practice like just sitting on the stage and just and just riffing with people and just having the conversation and you know so probably an inspo he's probably up there just inspo yeah
looking at people hearing chatter those guys are such creative so he's like talking back and forth
to the audience and um you know making fun of people if i was slightly slightly less wasted
i might have like walked up and sat down today because
I what because I was like the only thing I wanted to do and I didn't want to like
you know jump in or ask him questions whatever I just wanted to drop more quarters into the machine
you know and and uh like just go go up there like because he was at the roast, watched the whole thing. Just kind of, if I could go back in time, you know, a few hours,
would have walked up and like, all right, man, so the roast went tonight.
You know, what did we miss?
Where would you have gone?
You know, and then just kind of start going.
Because he was just up there riffing.
He was having fun.
He was being cool.
Did some funny stuff.
I don't even remember what he did.
I just know we were laughing.
But it would have been pretty fun to just drop some more quarters in him
and get him going.
Hell yeah.
I mean, he's hilarious.
How's Bill Burr's golf game?
Even worse than mine, dude.
He's fucking terrible.
Are you not a good golfer, Drew?
You just don't golf enough or what?
No, I play.
But, you know, I can play can i can hit good golf shots but yeah i just i don't know it once it
once it goes sideways it goes sideways yeah um you know so i'm i'm okay but i but um but um bill
he i just said he well i mean you know you know him as much as i do, but you can tell he doesn't have the temperament for golf.
You know, like, you're just not patient.
You're not going to go spend time on it.
But just super fun being with him.
Yeah.
Aren't you, like, a badass skier?
I ski a bunch.
I ski a bunch.
Started skiing when I was two years old.
Yeah.
And, yeah, I had to, you know. Where did you ski?
I grew up in the Northwest, skied up in the Cascade Mountains up there in Washington State,
and then bounced around.
But then I made the mistake of telling Kraft right after he bought the team about this amazing heli-skiing trip I took my dad on.
And I was young and stupid.
I was 22, and it was like a lifelong dream for me to be able to take dad heli-skiing.
But I do remember now in retrospect, he looked at me kind of funny.
And then when we did my second contract, all of a sudden there was all this language in there about what happens if I get hurt skiing.
Yeah.
My dad was a big-time skier when he was a kid.
Oh, was he really?
Yeah.
And I used to ski.
And then when I was like 11, I started snowboarding.
We used to go to Tahoe.
You know, Tahoe was like four hours, three hours.
And then I would go on to these, I went on these like high school trips,
these invasion trips where you go out like a weekend with just friends
and like chaperones.
Oh, wow.
Which was insane.
It's like your first time being out on the road by
yourself as a kid in high school like just packing your bag with booze and fucking everything i'm
just trying to get some stink finger and yeah yeah i know what you're doing we almost got arrested
because we went to mount bachelor organ one year yeah which was a cool mountain yeah that's our
home mountain we like we live in bend it's 20 miles from our house and we tried to shoulder tap for some booze
and I guess that's like really illegal in Oregon
or something
that's where you ask someone to go to the liquor store
and buy you a beer full of super bad
hey ma'am
of course I would
but you don't get on the snow anymore?
You know, I just started.
I started snowboarding again right when I retired.
But when I was skiing and shit, I was like 165, 170 pounds.
I was like a little kid doing flips and shit.
Right.
200 pounds now.
It's like different.
Well, it hurts a lot more.
Yes. I mean, I know you're, like you said, 30 years younger than that. of shit right 200 pounds now it's like different well it hurts a lot more yeah a little bit i mean
i know you're like you said 30 years younger than but but but but it does hurt more to fall when you
get a little bit older um so but how are you you have healthy knees i do i do that's the best yeah
yeah i mean such a crazy blessing and my you know i mean obviously got knocked around quite a bit
um but yeah orthopedically i'm healthier than
most other guys my age dude that's the one thing i feel yeah especially when you're strapped in on
the on the snowboard right you're sitting on that front leg i'm goofy so my front leg is forward and
i could feel like in my fucking joint right i have bad cartilage damage and no pcl a root tear like that's why
i ultimately retired because my knee so i feel that shit right and it fucking sucks yeah no
you're gonna go do like some stem cell you're gonna try and regrow some there's people that
are there's the panama guy there's the fucking german dude there's this guy right they're still
like six seven years away
from yeah actually I really really being able to read I activate the stem cell
yet it's a crapshoot when they're shooting that shit in you you know
because I've had it I had it in my knees before 19 mm-hmm and I put it in my
shoulder am I growing like you're like all right this doesn't do anything right
you know or could be placebo the people that say like oh my god it's the best day ever like no they still haven't activated the
stem cell okay well they need to because i the only thing that bugs me is my lower back
it's because you're a big dude i want to read well yeah and yeah i don't know but what do you
weigh two four two thirty two twenty five two thirty two forty somewhere in there i don't know What do you weigh? 230?
225?
230 to 240 somewhere in there. I don't know.
I haven't stepped on a scale in quite a while.
He's put together.
It's just because he's stout.
You're like all-American man.
I'm just fucking yoked, dude.
I'm just fucking yoked.
Yes.
I wouldn't go that far, Drew.
You're more like Paul Bunyan.
Yeah.
Jose, you caught me on your video camera down at your garage.
Somebody said, I don't know, it was down there.
It was a hot summer day, and his garage has got a video camera down there,
and it alerts him.
Dude, it looks like Carole Baskin's breaking into your garage from Tiger King.
I'm like, that's fucked up.
That's fucked up.
No way.
She's not yoked like me.
Hold on.
Can we talk about Ernie for a second?
Yes.
Like, he was always hiding in the shadows.
Like, he was the super secret agent that nobody knew about he never did anything and all of a sudden he's like all over
everything oh yeah like he just decided he wants to like oh cool i'm gonna get my uh i'm gonna get
my fame i flew his ass out here and had him on the pod did you really and he lit i mean he was great
yeah did you ever talk with ernie a little bit you know and he was always nice yeah but i remember when
like when when uh when bill first got there and uh um and you know ernie's there nobody could
figure out what he did like we didn't know what the hell was going on yeah he was just kind of
in the shadows he would watch everybody he would only talk to bill maybe to bears um and we're
like dude it was a mystery we didn't know what the hell was going on i felt that same way for about five years six years right and i finally saw him eating his
heirloom tomato with fucking fork and knife and pepper or salt i go i just sat down next to him
i was like yo what the fuck do you do yeah what do you do he's like well yeah you know how he is
he's kind of like awkwardly like and so then he basically did all our cards.
So any scout team card was from Ernie.
Oh, interesting.
Which is crazy.
He did all the films.
I mean, he was like Bill's right-hand man.
Right.
I think it was late in the first season they were there.
And again, it was a complete mystery.
I think we were playing the Chiefs. it was like crunch time at the end fourth down call fourth and goal to you know
run a play to win the game and so i come over and like we're in timeout we're we're you know
kind of talking about what we want to call and they drew what do you want to call you know charlie
what do you think get the donut out of your mouth and And so, like, all of a sudden, I hear Bill go, Ernie, what do you like?
And I didn't even know he was on the phones.
I didn't know any of this shit.
And Ernie makes the play call.
I'm like, holy shit.
So that's what he's doing?
Like, fuck.
You know, it was.
But anyway, now he's all over the media.
It's fucking crazy.
He was fun.
And he's a great encyclopedia of football
because he remembers pretty much everything.
I think he's kind of a savant, right?
Yeah, he's a big-time reader, bro.
He's got a crazy astute fucking library at his house.
He was sitting here like,
I read this book. He was making jokes
to himself like, I read it
four times. It was so good.
Ernie, nobody's going to get that shit.
No.
But anyway, sorry.
I corked you off.
I forget where you're going.
Oh, you did the deal with you and Gronk and Ernie.
The only reason I brought it up,
because there was these old throwback fucking photos,
and they had Drew, and I think it was someone else
in army outfits with patriotism.
It was like they were army guys on a Hummer.
And I was sitting there like, damn, fucking huge you were big yeah but it was also it was like some village people type
stuff yeah it was yeah because there's different themes i think you guys maybe that was the start
of the gay legacy that we left behind for the Patriots for you guys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I remember I was like me and Sean Jefferson and Curtis Martin and like Terry Glenn and Ben.
And yeah, I think Willie and I think Willie and Chris. Yeah, Willie was on it.
Yeah.
It's great to see Willie last night, by the way.
It was great to see.
Well, it was great to see Willie.
Yeah, man.
I just I love that guy so damn much, dude.
I really do, man.
I feel so bad for him.
That was a shitty situation.
I don't know what the end result of it is, man.
But, man, I just love Willie.
It was great to see him come back out.
It was.
Yeah.
You know, I mean, he's one of the caps.
You know what I mean?
He ran the locker room.
Hell yeah.
And, like, that legacy stuck throughout i
never played with them but everyone knew that that's willie's locker that's willie's locker
yeah and you know what i mean anyone coming in hey you're sitting in willie's locker now
dude he was the biggest badass and i played against him in college and we were teammates
and i had to play against him again and uh it was much better to be his teammate. Yeah.
We went down to play SC.
And no bullshit. I never watched, like, TV copies of games.
You know, you just only watch the film.
But for some reason, I ended up watching this game against SC.
And Bob Greasy is calling the game.
Bob Greasy.
Dude, again.
Dude, we've been over this.
I'm old. I get it. But, yeah, Bob Greasy is calling the game. Bob Greasy. Dude, again, dude, we've been over this. I'm old.
I get it.
But, yeah, Bob Greasy is calling the game.
And, dude, I took a three-step drop to throw a slant.
One, two, three, and Willie hits me right in the face
as my third step hits the ground.
And Bob Greasy's on the telecast of the Yablet,
so he's just not going to be able to hold the ball that long.

three and Willie met me on my third step yeah he's a badass and he's just he's got like a
presence oh he certainly does you feel it he certainly does yeah yeah you feel it and he just
but he just he's such a good dude man i was just glad to see him back i was too i mean it was great
to see that was that was that was fun like just to have all those everyone all the guys in in in the room you know but you played for parcels you play with carol
you play with belichick how did that go yeah it's interesting what does that feel like it's it's
it's interesting because like of those of those three and and like you know they're all going to
be hall of fame coaches right like you know so um um it's crazy they're all going to be they're all hall of fame coaches i mean pete's
got to go in the hall doesn't he i mean at least you know because when you combine the pros and
the college deal you know he's had a lot of success for a long time he's had a lot of success
now anyway like the three like you know historically great coaches you know whether
pete gets in or not. I hope he does.
Pete's the one that I feel bad for in that equation.
Yeah.
Because he's obviously a hell of a coach.
He followed Parcells in Boston.
Parcells just ran the media, dude.
Like, he loved being in front of the camera and loved berating these guys.
And then Pete comes in, and he's super competitive.
I think he's a hell of a football coach, but he's positive.
Yeah.
And that just didn't play very well in the Bostonoston media and then we drafted super poorly man we got a whole bunch of picks when parcells left and then when curtis martin left we had a
whole bunch of picks and we just didn't draft very well and guys didn't work out and so pete ends up
getting fired now it worked out you know obviously it turns into bill yeah um but uh but just you
know just just love Pete.
Great football coach.
But all three of them, it's all the same shit, right?
You know, so like the great coaches, it's all the same.
I don't know.
Fundamentals.
I only played with one coach.
Oh, shit.
You only did.
You got to be so fucking spoiled.
I know.
It's weird.
You know I had eight coordinators in 14 years?
I had two.
I had Billy O and fucking McD's. He fucking in mcdees he was there last
night billio was here last night he was fucking awesome dude i saw i saw billio last i i don't
i've only been around him like two or three times freaking love him billio is talking about my boy
jack bro and the craziest thing was i saw him in line for the bathroom and i was too scared to say
anything i don't think he saw me but like when when I came over this morning he told me that oh my god I almost had a cow I love Billy
O he's like where's Jack I'm like I didn't know he's talking about you I'm like what are you
fucking talking about no we're gonna go I'm a BC fan now baby let's go Billy O so yeah like
again you know I just I'd only known Billy O from just watching from afar.
And then we were out there for something, and he came back.
Got to hang out with him.
Dude, he's funny as hell.
Funny.
Yeah, dude, he likes to have a good time.
But those three coaches, the fundamentals of what allows each of them
to be successful are the same things.
They're pretty much the same things. You compete. You do what you're supposed to be successful are the same things. They're preached the same things.
You compete.
You do what you're supposed to do.
You're on time.
You just, you know, like everything.
It's all the same.
It's just presented so differently.
You know, Parcells is all Jersey.
He was funny as hell if he wasn't talking to you.
You know what I mean?
Like he had some good material, but you just didn't want him talking to you you know what i mean like he he was he had some good material
but you just didn't want him talking to you pete was was positive um he was great to be around he
was fun like it was a it was a it was a fun atmosphere even though it was very competitive
um and then bill's bill you know and uh where it's just it's so friggin business like obviously you know works yeah um but it's not fun and games
no i mean it's all business all the time you know where um you know we're with we're with pete like
you could come in and like tell a joke or two with him you know chit chat a little bit talking
family or whatever you know all this kind of stuff or that that doesn't fly with belichick
yeah at least at least in my experience.
Unless you're a defensive player.
Oh, well, there you go.
Right there.
He loved the defense.
Yeah.
He was a defensive guy at heart.
We were talking about it.
We had light on today earlier.
Dude, how funny is that?
Oh, my gosh.
Dude, I think.
He should have had a mic.
No, I literally was talking about that last night.
He would have lit it up.
Oh, dude, he is so funny.
Dude, we were talking earlier, like some of his practical joke stuff.
Dude, we almost got Jimmy D fired.
With the thing?
Yeah, with the little fallout deal.
And then who, I don't know.
You can decide whether we cut this or not.
But when y'all came out and played back-to-back weeks in the Bay Area.
Yeah, we didn't talk about that.
Okay.
We didn't talk about that.
That one.
You mean?
Yes.
We'll have to cut that out.
Yeah.
We'll have to blink.
He may still not, does he even know that happened?
I don't think he knows yet, still.
Okay, yeah, cut that.
Cut that.
Cut that, cut that.
But bleep it, just say bleep, bleep.
It'll be fun.
Don't say anything, but
you know what I mean, cut that out.
But I think, yeah, the only thing with Light though,
that if you put him up there, you might not be able to get him off.
No.
He might have gone the rest of the night.
The whole night.
Yeah.
It would have been funny as hell.
It would have been funny as hell.
But, yeah, anyway, yeah.
How was it with Matt, man?
Dude, I love that dude.
Dude, Matt was cool for me.
He was like a cool older dude that looked out for young guys and i was like
a slap dick when i first got there yeah you know what i mean and that's why they gave you 11 because
they didn't think you'd make the fucking team exactly yeah 100 they gave me 11 because i didn't
think i was gonna make the team and he was the type of guy that like him and conley and the old
lineman in general like they'd always invite me for Thanksgiving
because my family's on the West Coast.
I was a single kid.
And they just put their arm around you.
You know how the hogs are.
Absolutely, man.
Those are the dudes.
And they could cook their balls off.
Lyman can cook.
Whenever you go to O'Lyman House, it's going to be great food.
And you're going to have a lot of it.
A lot of it.
And it's probably not going to be vegan.
No.
Maybe Wild Game.
If you go to O'Lyman's house, you're not going to get tofu.
Yeah.
Jackie, let's see what we got.
We got to put a bow on this thing.
I mean, this thing was star-studded.
Everybody was out.
And the big thing the internet's doing today,
before we get into the full wrap-up
is they're ranking everybody. They're giving
everybody letter grades, scores.
They're breaking down everybody's roast. That's the
big thing on Twitter. From where? Everybody.
Who's ranking who? Portnoy,
The Ringer. Everybody's doing these rankings.
So we are the definitive wrap-up
show. Nobody's doing a pod like this.
Nobody's got the immediacy we do.
I want to hear your guys's
top five roasters from last night if you had to i know there's it's tough okay i know it's tough
can i get the name of all the guys yeah let's pull it back up um well um
are we going to include tom no tom's not top not in the top five. Yeah, Tom's not.
Mine is Tom.
Mine is Tom.
Let's be fucking real.
People say he had the best joke of the night.
Which one?
I'm going to butcher it, but essentially Kim's worried because her kids are home with their dad.
That was a pretty good one.
That was solid.
That was solid.
I mean, I didn't want to get into making out with your kids because I thought kids were off limits.
Yeah, nobody really did those.
Yeah, right?
Yeah, no, that was the only rule they told me.
Yeah, no kids.
I'm like, well, obviously I'm not going to make fun of them.
He's over here talking about.
Jack had a good kid, Joe.
Yeah, I wanted to do a couple.
I won't do it.
Thanks for stopping me.
All right, so I'm going to be nice and throw you in there, Jules, and I think you deserve it.
Nice. I thought you deserve it. Nice.
I thought you fucking crushed.
Nikki, maybe MVP.
Dude, she absolutely killed.
Tony Hinchcliffe.
Joke per minute was high, too.
Schultz was good.
Schultz was great, and he had to back clean up, man. He uh yeah yeah he had and he brought it home he brought it home and then i don't i mean kevin's the host so i don't get it but does he get in there i guess we'll count him

limits no he yes he did he right away i thought i was sitting there like oh shit he did that
yeah i so i and again i haven't watched this thing but you were you were sitting closer to Yes, he did. Right away. I thought I was sitting there like, oh, shit, he did that? Yeah.
And again, I haven't watched this thing, but you were sitting closer to Tom.
I've heard from a couple people that he looked pretty damn uncomfortable at the start.
Yeah, he was getting like, I love you from his sisters and stuff.
He's like, stay strong.
But I think you know after a while but i think but i think you're right i think
kevin set the bar that okay this is where we're going yeah and then you know um i don't know how
about you i i agree with everyone i agree top five with i also like i liked gronk you know what
because the energy yeah and like he and i. And I listened to Gronk.
He was practicing his jokes.
Well, you can go Gronk instead of you.
Because, I mean, if you vote for yourself, that's fine.
Hold on.
You got to get Drew.
Yeah, Drew's not slouch either.
Drew, you went up there and you set the stage with the glass wine,
like a fucking debonair kind of person.
Debonair.
Debonair.
Wasn't that the guy on Friday?
Debonair?
Very suave and debonair.
Very suave and debonair when I walk up there.
The wife joke was pretty funny.
That was awesome.
28 years.
28 years.
It's true story.
The mirror act out with Tom doing the double back.
Oh, he for sure knows that he
definitely does you called it out no that was that was that was that one was not my joke that
one came from the writers but it's like first of all it's great plug for the winery amen um

I thought Nikki Glaser was fucking hilarious.
Dude, she killed.
Her whole shit.
She killed.
She absolutely killed.
I liked Schultz.
The eight ring joke?
Yeah.
So funny.
And I also... I mean, like, obviously, Jeff Ross crushed. Yeah. killed i liked schultz the eight ring joke yeah so funny and i also i mean like obviously jeff
ross crushed but but i also could have put him in the host category a little bit but you know but
jeff is jeff is a pro at it it's expected but he also he also has jokes that are great jokes that
don't necessarily kill you right like he didn't he didn't like these people
were killing people dude i don't know i don't know what the fuck i did to sam j i do like dude
she got after me jesus i forgot about oh my god dude she fucking buried me we gotta ask her about

tony hit uh oh i the i caught a actually i'm going will ferrell oh heck yeah hell yeah well I didn't cry. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. And I like Tony Higgins.
Actually, I'm going with Will Ferrell.
Oh, heck yeah.
Hell yeah.
Well, yeah, dude.
I love Will Ferrell.
He can go up there and bomb, but as Ron Burgundy, I was just sitting there like it was a movie.
Mixed with the surprise of him actually being there. Dude, he could literally walk out there as Ron Burgundy and just stand there, and I would probably laugh for five minutes.
I'm sure he could have just went out there with no preparation and just stand there and i would probably laugh for five minutes i'm sure he he could have
just went out there with no preparation and just bullshit yeah no it was yeah it's genius stuff
um so i will tell you the one thing one thing i was that in the whole thing is i was really
looking forward to tom cigar and burt kreischer and i thought they're they're set together i was
like man i don't let these guys go.
It was too scripted, man.
These guys are the frigging funniest.
They are funny.
So funny.
And I felt like it was a little too scripted and set up between the two of them.
I think they started running out of spots.
Oh, gotcha.
So they had to go.
You know what I mean?
Because they started like Bill, Peyton.
Right.
Everyone starts coming.
And I think they all came within the like Bill, Peyton. Right. Everyone starts coming.
And I think they all came within the last three or four days or committed.
Right.
All right.
Bottom five?
We'll keep it at a top five.
Okay, good.
We'll keep it at a top five. Why don't we do maybe too far joke of the night?
Or a joke that was like.
Too far of the joke.
Kevin had a lot of those.
Oh, man.
You had a couple.
You had a couple.
Okay, I'm trying to recall all of them.
That Ed Hung joke?
But, no, I think the Antonio Brown bringing Giselle is as possible.
Oh, yeah.
That was like, oh, Jesus.
Because, you know, I mean, we're sitting up there, right?
And everything's funny, right?
But you know there's going to be cameras on us, right?
That was one where I just went like, no, I'm not laughing at that shit.
I am not laughing at that shit.
I'm like putting my head down and I'm, yeah.
That's what I, we got to rewatch it to see what our reactions.
I hope I didn't fuck anything up.
Yeah, the reactions have to play.
The other thing, though, they did say, because when they go back and when they do the Comedy Central ones,
I was talking to one of the producers.
Apparently those deals go like five hours,
which I want to go to one of those.
I'll sit in the audience.
And they cut it?
Yeah, and then they edit it down to an hour.
But then they'll go back, and if you laugh at something
in the first five minutes.
They'll take it for the 12th minute?
They'll put you back there. But, yeah yeah i do want to see some of the uh some of the
reactions um but how about you which joke which joke was like on that line a little bit over i
mean kev set the he set the stage when he started throwing a brazilian jiu-jitsu right away. Yeah. Dude. Yeah.
I mean.
I was like, yo.
Okay.
Here we go. I was so happy, though, because it made my jokes not as bad.
Yeah, no, exactly.
I was like, all right, cool.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Exactly.
Yeah, right.
Thank you.
The Dana White of Michael Vick of Humans was.
That was great.
Who was that?
I think that was Nikki Glaser.

that's why you know like a human being like i mean you know you know how much you know how much uh
you know how much that i adore craft and i and i and i know you do too one of the things that he's
done the entire time i've known him is he shows up at shit for the players.
Yeah.
Like, I remember the first year he bought the team,
we were having our big holiday party,
and we had to go do the deal at the stadium
for all the sponsors and fans and stuff.
And Zolak, we were going to the team party,
like the player party, afterward.
And we go get in the limo, and Zo goes,
I'm going to go back and get him.
What? He goes, he went back and get him what he goes he went
back and grabbed him and he went to the party and partied with us fucking all night long oh wow um
and uh like he just he just he shows he shows up and stuff like he you know i think part he wants
to be a part of it but it's also he knows that it's that it matters to people that he shows up
so i was glad that he showed up. And his Putin joke was great.
That was a good joke.
That's real shit, by the way.
Putin stole his fucking ring.
We want to write a movie about it.
Do they?
We want to.
That'd be a great movie.
Might want to wait until Putin's dead.
I might not go after him while he's alive, dude.
It'd be more of the heist of getting the ring back yeah i'll get in the ring back yeah okay gotcha it'd be kind of
fun i can see that yeah that'd be like a mission impossible yeah like a mission impossible uh
comedy that'd be that'd be great it'd be fun i thought kind of like a pineapple express yeah
there you go like vladimir putin. I'm pitching movies to Drew right now.
That's great.
That's great.
The interview meets Pineapple Express.
Those always work out as investments.
I'm just inviting to see if Tom can find me a crypto investment.
Absolutely not.
Dude, they fucking buried him on that deal.
I had forgotten about that entire angle.
And dude, was it Nikki?
Oh, yeah.
I was just joking about Gronk.
Me know that not real money.
Gronk, me know that not real money.
It's like, Jesus.

She was definitely MVP.
Yeah, dude.
She absolutely frigging. Great timing. Oh, mind. She was definitely MVP.
Great timing.
Oh, dude.
She had little jabs for her segues.
Oh, man.
She was frigging fantastic.
She is a Bond villain.
She's a super sweetheart, but I don't want to cross her because, dude, she's brutal.
Wait, Joel, before we wrap up real quick, can I ask you about the selfie?
How'd that come about?
Which one?
The one on stage with you and Drew and Bill and Tom. Everybody. So that
selfie was during the credits?
So the internet was like, we need to see the picture.
The Twitterverse was...
Do I have it? Have we seen it?
You've got a competent team.
I just want to know how it came about.
You just full candid. I photobombed that shit.
Hell yeah.
Jules didn't invite me. He wanted a know yeah right his boyfriend and his old coach and uh and so like i'm gonna
photobomb this shit i'm in a side piece bro i know that's that's one actually might be his
main piece these days so you know good luck uh the uh uh yeah let's name let's name the game.
So if this was a real game, we normally do a whole thing,
but let's bear with us.
Name the game.
The Grote Roast.
The Grote.
The Greatest of All Roast.
What do you think, Drew?
Or something better.
Or something better.
I mean, yeah, the Grote thing, I kind of...
Probably the Greatest of All Roast Probably the greatest of all roasts.
Greatest of all roasts.
I don't know.
I might go there.
Let's score the game.
Is this the greatest game of all time?
Let's score it.
Stakes, 0 to 10 on the roast.
Oh, it was high stakes, dude.
I mean, that's a...
I mean, on a 0 to 10,
stakes are probably... I'm going to say an 8. I mean, that's a, that's a, I mean, on a zero to 10,
stakes are probably, I'm going to say an eight.
Eight.
So higher than a game seven of a Stanley Cup final.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean. We got a lot of, we got a lot of, like.
I'm going right in there with Drew.
No, because there's legacy here.
This is, this is a high wire act, baby.
This is live.
This is a high wire act.
Live.
And live, right?
Live.
Yeah.
Live.
First live stream on Netflix or one of them live right live yeah live first live stream on netflix or one of them the first yeah first one i have rose second one i was i think i think kat williams
went like the like two days before okay which by the way bill burke did say today that um kat
williams is his number one guy that he never wants to follow that's saying something that is saying
because because he goes he goes dude that
guy kills yeah and he goes if he's if he's there he goes i want to go first yeah which was cool
because i i know his stuff but i haven't watched a lot of cat williams but yeah anyway well he he
just popped off because that shenan sharp podcast i didn't see that and then he used to have a really
good stand-up a couple few years back really i? I haven't seen his new stuff in a while.
I want to see some of his new stuff.
I haven't seen it.
Love Cat.
Cat was funny.
I'm going to go with an eight.
There's a lot of reputations on the line here.
Yeah.
Star Power?
I mean, this is a star-studded event.
I mean, fuck, dude.
I was there.
It would have been better if Matt Damon was there.
Yeah, that would have been better.
Hold on. Star Power is interesting because I'm thinking of who could have been better if Matt Damon was here. Yeah, that would have been better. So, hold on.
Star Power is interesting because I'm thinking of who could have been there that wasn't.
Who?
No, I'm just trying to think.
Like, Star Power.
Could it have been better in terms of...
Eli.
Eli.
Fuck Eli.
That's the right answer.
Eli, you're probably never gonna watch this but i'd
fucking love you anyway he's been on he's been on the show oh that's really not eli watches this
thing religiously yeah i know he does i know he does um yeah i you know i think in terms of um
like pertinent to tom yeah i mean that's probably an eight as well.
I'm trying to think of who could have been there that wasn't.
I mean, Matt Damon would have been one that could have been there.
Dude, I'm saying it's a nine-five.
I mean, Kim Kardashian was there.
She's followed by 300 million people.
Yeah.
Like, star power.
Nations.
More than nations.
She might be a fucking negative to me, though.
What's the connection i
mean did they did they actually really hook up or no i don't know yeah i think you do maybe now i
have no clue maybe now i'm fucking jealous dude i don't know uh i was just trying to lock eyes
with kim i was like trying she was all about tom gameplay uh the gameplay i thought the show went well uh i would say um
again we kind of went through there were just there were
you know or just there were some that didn't go as well i'm gonna go
i'm gonna go eight five i'm to go a little higher on gameplay.
I think that there were just... There could have been addition by subtraction,
and that's the nicest thing I can say with the...
It's a little long.
It was long.
It was long.
It was long.
It was long.
It was like a banquet.
It was a little...
Yes, like an awards...
You know what I mean?
Like awards, like a banquet,
where it's like two and a half, three hours.
Yeah.
I'm like, oh, really?
Another award for most inspirational fuck, dude.
Great banquet.
It was fun.
Unbelievable.
Gameplay, though, for me, I'm going to go seven, nine.
Mm-hmm.
Name.
The name of the roast
I don't know
it's just so
nondescript
I don't know what I'm not going to write a better
one right now
not every game can have a great score
no that's true
I'm just going to say five just like average
average name but I don't
have a better idea
so it's going to the brost just like average name. But I don't have a better idea. I'm with you.
Five's good.
The brost.
I like that.
There you go.
You got to be a bro to be a brost.
You get roasted by your brost. The brost.
Brady's computer.

Right where it belongs, baby.
And right ahead of the 21-31 Cal Ripken breaks.
What's his name?
Lou Gehrig's record.
Lou Gehrig's record.
Nice.
God, just when you fix the scoring system.
This is in its own special category for non-athletic event.
Love it.
Heck yeah.
I don't have time for that.
You think what?
Lou?
Oh.
Lou Gehrig.
They named it a Zeeb bathroom.
Oh, man.
That's a crazy disease. Drew, we miss anything? I don't think so, man. It's beenv bathroom. Oh, man. That's a crazy disease.
Drew, we miss anything?
I don't think so, man.
It's been a ton of fun, man.
Love you.
Respect you.
And what I said to you back in the day is actually super real to me.
You know, I'd always viewed that as my number.
And if somebody was going to wear it,
I wanted them to fucking play exactly the way that you played the game
just tough as um competitive as hell great teammate you know all that um so you
know a lot of respect dude a lot of respect brother oh i'm not a one that's that's bad luck
wait i got a quick question like uh you're a wine connoisseur
like how do i like if i'm with like a girl that's kind of snooty
and she's like i gotta like flex on what
wine to order what do i do uh i make myself look good well okay well i mean okay this this is a
this is a deep subject and we can go a little bit deep on this so like um is so you got to try
to factor in you know how much does this girl know about wine is she going to be impressed by how
much you spend or does she actually really know wine okay yeah um so if you're dating the one that
only cares about how much you spend then you know you shouldn't spend you shouldn't spend very much on her um um i fucked up i said yeah he spent the biggest one yeah um no i um i mean i'm i'm a homer
for the northwest you know um the stuff that's that's coming out of um out of walla walla and
out of the willamette valley in oregon you're always going to get a much better value. You're going to get better wine for your dollar in Oregon and Washington.
And then if you're actually really trying to kind of impress her
and she knows a little bit about wine,
just get a little cheat sheet on your phone of the vintages,
and then you can find good wine for less dollars
by just buying the right vintage.
Drew, it was a trick question.
You just say, get double back.
Well, I didn't know you were trying to marry her, dude.
What a game.
What a game.
What a night.
