This is Christine Brown, and while I have to listen to this podcast as my motherly
duty, you have the choice not to. My sons sometimes say some naughty things when they're
trying to be funny, but really, they're just being stupid. You still want to listen? Go
right ahead. I am not your mother.
Welcome back to the Pages Dynasty podcast. I'm your host Andy Brown. We are the podcast
where we are going back and rewatching all of the Patriot schemes on the Diocese era.
But this one's going to be a bit different because
there's been some big news lately.
But before we get to that, what we're now a podcast for, right, Andy?
We are a podcast. Well, three and a half.
Screw Tom Brady, let's talk some babies, some babies.
Yes. So the reason I think we probably alluded to this on the last podcast
but the reason that we haven't put out an episode in a while is because my wife
and I have had a child.
So the newest Patriots fan.
Seven pounds, four ounces.
Well, we'll let him choose for himself.
No, we won't.
Kind of parenting is that.
I don't know.
I don't think we'll let him listen to the podcast.
That's for sure.
If he wants to become a Jets fan, Andy, then he's going to be an outside baby.
So, yes.
So that's the big news for me.
You guys have any big news?
No, no, no.
All right. You got you got snow.
That's pretty big news.
Yeah, we all have a bit of snow, but.
What are you going to do?
Do you still have snow?
Is the state open back up again?
No, 70 degrees today on February 3rd.
Good Lord.
I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know what the temperature is.
I can't I'm not going to give you my New England spiel because I don't even know what day it is.
I haven't been outside in a week.
I've lived in my bedroom, which has the light block and curtain.
So I couldn't even tell you what time of day it is.
Perfect. Sounds awesome.
It's great.
Yeah.
Just sleep whenever I hate no one, like what time it is, what day it is.
Oh, yeah.
That just means my life has been structured by somebody else.
Yep.
Well, I mean, technically my life is structured by somebody else, too.
Minute by minute instead.
And his life just got restructured.
Oh, yeah.
Very much so.
I am no longer in control of my life.
Well, I'm sure all of our listeners, a.k.a. mom, is very happy you carved out time for another podcast.
Oh, yes.
Well, have you tried breastfeeding him?
He has tried it.
Just a little nibble.
He's been dazzling.
Yeah, I'm like, oh, that's not going to work, my friend.
That does not work the same way your mom says.
Well, I mean, you got to you got to just show it to them.
And that's how babies learn and you can't just say, no, it's not going to work.
Well, my problem is I don't want him choking on the the chest hair.
No, this is a lot of terrible visual, right?
Nice.
Like a cat.
Yeah, exactly.
I could have her balls from sucking on Andy's nipples.
Yeah, it's disgusting.
You started this, Greg.
Just remember that.
The.
So, yes, mature enough for fatherhood.
Oh, boy, it's it's been a learning experience.
Now, all of our listeners are regretting that we're doing a podcast right now.
Speaking of football.
The big news in the this week in football, the NFL circles
because Tom Brady was rumored to have been retired
and then actually did so a few days later.
Adam Schafter needs to keep his face shut on things like this, I think.
Because that's that's the second retirement he's ruined, right?
He ruined Andrew Luck's retirement.
Andrew Luck's at half time now.
Yeah, it was even worse.
And then he got booed off the field because of it.
Yeah, well, that's that is way worse.
Is she right? That's Steve.
I was we were at the bar together.
Remember, Greg, when that these came out?
Oh, really?
No, I don't remember.
But it was like a preseason game, right?
And he was standing in street clothes
and they were bowing him in his own stadium like you could tell it.
It was like registering with him.
Oh, yeah.
And it's like the look of panic on his face was just heartbreaking.
It was rough.
He was such like a nice guy, too.
Yeah. Yeah.
You know, and gave that city so much as well.
That's tough. Yeah.
Looking back, Andrew Luck is kind of a G, you know?
Yeah.
He was just like, no, I could do the same.
We're not worth it.
Or it wasn't worth it.
None of the his his strong histrionics.
No, they're at work.
Yeah, strong histrionics.
Yeah, none of like the
need in the media to fawn over him.
He's just like, I'm done.
No farewell tour.
No, nothing just. Yeah.
Very easy on the hand was stop, start, start, start, maybe.
Maybe, maybe not.
Maybe I know something, but I'm not going to mention the pages.
But then I just get people talking about it and talking about it,
talking about it and talking about it endlessly.
Oh, yeah. By my new clothing line.
By my new supplement.
Did you listen to the Boston Sports Song this week, Greg?
No. OK.
I thought that you're a glutton for that sort of punishment.
I thought you'd be all over it.
No, no, no.
I can't do that.
I only do that when I come home to visit.
You can't take more than like a week of it.
And then you just start getting cynical yourself, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
I can't do it.
It's horrible.
Honestly, yeah, I can't do it.
I just.
It's very much like the Nazi party, you know?
Jesus Christ.
No, Greg, I don't know.
Yeah, you're going to have to, you're going to have to expand on that one.
I think you can figure it out where I'm getting out there.
I don't know. Who's their Hitler?
I don't know.
Felger, probably Felger.
Yes.
Probably Jerry Callahan, if we're getting honest.
No, Jerry Callahan is like Heinrich Himmler.
He's like this artistic bastard that's not skilled enough
to like really be a leader.
OK, he's like, you know, he's a grunt
that you can send out there to do your awful biddings.
I just know what mom is saying right now.
Sometimes a naughty boy.
It's a good analogy.
We can take this really far.
Yeah, with that out of the internet, Greg.
Yeah, yeah.
He's a Twitter account.
Yeah, tweet this, tweet this for us, Greg.
See how that goes.
No, it's a sensitive time after Whoopi Goldberg's comments, Andy.
Anyways, back to Tom Brady speaking of football.
So, yeah, so we finally did it.
Did not play till 45, like you promised.
So I'm heartbroken.
But how old is he?
Forty-four.
Oh, I think one more year.
Although I am.
Because at the time, I was so adamant
that he wasn't leaving the Patriots and then he did
and he broke my heart.
I'm kind of happy that he's doing the same to Buccaneers fans
because I saw a lot of people online like, oh, he's not retiring.
He's going to do at least one more year.
Then you'll retire.
And now the Buccaneers organization is fucked
because Gronk is obviously going to retire, right?
Yeah, yeah, I would think so.
Yeah, I got to admit, I was surprised that he retired.
I was a little surprised because I always just went with the theory.
He used to say, like, I'll stop playing when I suck.
Yeah. And he definitely didn't suck this year.
No, no, yeah, an MVP.
And I feel like they kind of let him do whatever he wants in Tampa
as far as like practicing and.
Oh, yeah. But also, I mean, what were the team and shit?
Yeah, but he's the guy that, like.
Is it going to take advantage of that, right?
Like, he's still going to stay after practice and do all that bullshit
because he just doesn't know how to not do that.
I think that would imagine the family.
He probably thought that these are really want to go
through, like, try to pull it all together because Godwin's going to leave.
Maybe Evans goes or in a trade and they got a salary cap and not the same team.
So he's like, ah, fuck that.
Yeah. Yeah.
I just didn't want to listen to Giselle Nagam, too.
You know, ultimately, we all kind of know that feeling of like,
is this worth the nagging that we're associated with?
It's like, Greg, I just have to ask, how's Kelly doing?
No comment.
At least we got up our nagging game
because you seem to do whatever the fuck you want.
Anyway, it does feel like that I do a ton of nagging.
I've made that decision in my brain.
Yeah. That's what I'm saying.
She's got to get, you know, really on the net.
Just like Tom Brady. So, Greg, he's just like Tom Brady.
Yeah, exactly.
There's a new nagging, except I'm more athletic and my wife's very looking.
This is what I always say.
It's younger.
Oh, we still haven't seen you run the 40.
Yeah, Greg. Yeah.
What's what's further from the truth?
Me being more athletic than Tom Brady.
Or Kelly being more attractive than I have not answered that question.
Because I feel like I have a case on just athleticism, you know,
enter in here, Greg, let's find out.
I mean, you were a D one athlete.
So, yeah, I feel like I'm faster than him.
I don't know.
Might be even, which I would depend on how you quantify athletic.
OK.
How do you quantify athletic?
You know, I mean, you could do like athletic from, like, good at sports
standpoint or athletic from, like, how high can you jump?
How fast can you run?
How much can you lift?
Like, those are like the measurables, you know? Yeah.
You have a better chance of the measurables, Greg.
Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
And even that, I don't think I don't think you do either.
He's still a professional athlete.
He's using his college in a combine or current
because I bet he's a lot better now.
Yeah, I think he's probably faster now.
Oh, yeah, definitely stronger.
Yeah. Yeah.
I think I think you should arm wrestle him strings.
Oh, my goodness.
So much pliability, dude.
So pliable. Yeah.
He just thinks about lengthening when he gets it.
Oh, my God.
Impliability, you don't have you don't say the chance.
And don't even talk about his elasticity, bro.
You fucking get your mind blown.
We can put you in pretzel.
He's like fucking Gumbi out there.
And it felt different.
Like, I didn't really care that you're retired, you know?
But I think. Yeah, me and the Patriots.
It was it wasn't like a.
Yeah, I felt like I mean, he's already left.
So yeah, it's kind of a relief.
Like, I don't need him winning more Super Bowls.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't want him ruining his Patriots legacy
with something exactly splitting the legacy, you know?
Right, exactly.
Do you think he signs a one day contract?
I guess I know.
I would think so.
Well, let's let's talk about let's talk about the farewell.
Post, right? Right.
The one. Yeah.
They got everybody seven seven pages long.
He thinks the buccaneers, coaches, front,
front office, the guy that stretches in the waterboy,
the cheerleaders, the fans, the radio station.
Thanks, everybody, under the sun and no mention of the pets.
Yeah, just got some people a little butthurt.
All right, that's how did you feel about it?
Listen to EI, because that's those.
He probably did it just to butthurt those people.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I wasn't I wasn't butthurt.
Like, I don't care.
You got a little disappointed.
I didn't do it.
But I thought it was kind of like he's so he's so thoughtful
in like how he what he puts out into the world, right?
That it did feel like that was intentional.
Oh, because it was a little bit.
Yeah. So and the picture that he means out of himself.
The first picture of himself was from the game in Foxboro
against the pages as a buccaneer. Oh, I didn't realize that.
Interesting. Right.
So I don't know. Is he sending a message?
I don't know.
No, he doesn't seem like he would be something to do that, though.
No, he's making it to like create buzz and people talking about.
So I said people would just been talking endlessly.
That's true. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. How many how many new cycles did that?
How many times is Tom Brady?
And now he's got all these people looking at his TV or Brady brand now.
And then I think he does sign a one day contract
because that's a whole other news cycle of like, oh,
he's signed a one day contract.
Now we get to listen to his speech or whatever.
Good point, Steve.
I like this angle. I like this angle.
And then there'll be another one when they retire his number.
And do they retire his number in Tampa?
That would be embarrassing.
Oh, shit.
They go unretired, John Gruden and then retire Brady face.
Maybe we're going to stop here right here, Tom.
And to fill it. I just, you know.
And what if you can reuse any of the letters in John Gruden?
You can use the O and John.
Well, we could probably take some from Warren Sapp, too.
Oh, fuck.
Beautiful.
Yeah, what are that?
The Buccaneers are going to be a dumpster fire again, right?
We're just I feel like the cap is going to be a mess, right?
Yeah, because they basically sold out to get Brady
and then to load up that team to get him the Super Bowl offers here.
And that window just slams.
It worked, though. I mean, they won a Super Bowl.
Yeah. And you see the same thing with the Rams.
They're basically like, yeah.
Throwing first round picks at it. Yeah.
So how long is it?
How long does it work for the Rams, do you think?
The same idea, one and done.
Like, that's again, tough team to keep together and do consistently.
I'll be interested to see how it works out,
because I don't know that anyone's really
no done it to that degree of like, let's just not have draft picks.
Yeah, just sell the interest to see.
Yeah, because I mean, they still have a good coach.
Yep.
Depends, I guess, Stafford, how long he sticks around.
But right if Stafford retires, I could see that falling apart pretty quick.
You need Donald playing at a high level, too.
Yeah. Donald sucks, dude.
I'm sick of people blowing Donald.
What? Oh, God.
Good. Go on.
Dude, is he Hitler, Greg?
He gets. How does he fit into the Nazi body?
He gets so much love every single year.
Yeah, he's good, but he's not like he doesn't impact the games like
Matt Stafford is way more important to that team than Aaron Donalds.
We had plays quarterback, no shit.
Yeah, and everybody blows Aaron Donald like he's like this like huge game changer.
He put two guys on him.
He's nobody. I don't know about that, Greg.
He's good for his position and he's a dickhead.
Are these choking things?
Have you seen all these choking instances?
Here's why Greg doesn't like him.
Now we're getting to the.
I haven't. I've seen like one.
Yeah, the one, the most recent one where he grabs the guy by the throat,
looking like fucking the dude from Star Wars, right?
So he's Darth Vader.
With stop hate on the back of his helmet, which is.
But there's another one from a couple of years ago where he the game is finished.
He doesn't even have his shoulder pads on.
He's on the sidelines and everyone's going to the middle.
He takes his helmet, puts on his helmet and runs to the center of the field
and seeks out a guy and starts like fucking with him and choking him.
What? Yeah. Jesus.
Yeah, it was like not like I can almost understand like he to the moment.
Shit, you know, like it's football.
Yeah, but that was like he's been sitting and stewing on this thing
for like a half a game of football and then things to put his helmet on
before going out there and choking a random dude at midfield.
It's like, what are you doing?
Dude, that's ridiculous.
Competitive, Greg. Yeah, I guess so.
You know, I was a competitive Darth Vader.
That's true.
And this is why you don't like him because he's a really good player.
He is good, of course.
It's always like what?
Top five defensive player in the NFL, Greg.
I'm I'm sure he's one of the best defensive players in the league.
Yes. OK.
But the way people talk about him, like he's like some people are like,
he could be the best player in NFL history.
It's like, oh, that's ridiculous.
You know, like, what are we talking about here?
No, Greg, you're just mixing it up with the Tom Brady retirement news.
Because there's a shitload of that going around, too.
Yeah, a lot of full eight and Brady Brady from everybody.
That's true. I'm fine with that.
He does like your I like your marketing angle, Steve.
Now, here's a question for you, though.
Do you think do you think that's coming from Brady?
Or do you think that's coming from Brady's, like, marketing manager,
social media person?
I don't think it's a fair question.
Person, it's like a whole bunch of people.
Right. Yeah, whatever.
You're he's certainly signing off on it.
Yeah. It's some combination.
But do you think he's going into these meetings and being like, guys,
I want it framed like this because it builds my brand.
Or do you think they're coming to him and being like, hey, we can do it this way.
And you're going to get a ton of clicks, which might be slightly controversial.
You know, like, is it is he the driving force behind some of this?
Or do you think they're probably just like, hey, here's all your options
about announcing retirement.
This is what happens.
Like, hey, I think I'm going to retire.
I've been planning this for years.
And I said, OK, these are your options.
And you must chose the one that generates more.
You probably could have posted some really crazy shit, too.
You know, you, you, you, you, I know that I would have just posted that gift.
Or even just like.
Posting some shit like talking bad about the pages would have got it like that.
Like if you had just gone to Belichick, I could just like call it up.
You're like, yeah, is it cool if I pretend to start some shit with you?
Just like get some get some like media up news.
That's Brian Flores.
So, yeah, so that's the other the big deal is let's move on to that.
I want that. Yeah.
Yeah, we'll talk about it real quick.
Brian Flores has sued the NFL, right?
The owners, the NFL itself.
He sued the NFL, the Giants, Broncos.
Yeah. The Dolphins.
And the Wando teams won through 29.
So pretty much everybody.
Yeah. And the exhibit A and that was his text messages with Bill Belichick,
where Bill thought he was talking to Brian Dabel
and congratulated him on getting the Giants job before he'd even interviewed.
It was like 80.
So I don't know where my conspiracy had it.
I think my tin foil still in the in the kitchen, but.
Did Belichick do that on purpose?
No.
Do you think so? No, I don't think so.
But this is the best part about it is it's plausibly deniable if he did, too.
Right. If you are going to do it, that's the best.
Sorry, wrong number.
Old guy with a phone.
Even not, though, like if someone said, yeah, Belichick knows
is savvy enough for the phone to be able to like manipulate people.
Or is he so dumb at his phone that he actually accidentally takes the wrong
Brian, which we've all done. I would say the latter.
It's so relatable. Yeah.
It's true. Yeah. Yeah.
But also, like, he'd be like, oh, fuck, I can get back at the Giants here.
Oh, yeah.
That, you know, fuck me over and set it on fire.
Or he could be like some people have seen at least jealous of Brady
getting all the attention. So he was.
Yeah, that's the other conspiracy.
Yeah. Have you guys ever done done that?
I'm trying to rack my brain for like for like I do it on slack.
Yeah. I've I have slacked people talking about them to them.
Yeah, work people too. Oh, shit.
Or thinking I'm in like a one-on-one conversation with somebody
and realizing that the other person's in there, too.
And I'm done that.
Nothing bad.
Don't work instead of a friend with the same name.
But someone at my work, so I just thought of this.
They used to like you'd have to like companies like 150 people
and you're supposed to like email when you're going to be out on vacation.
Just so everyone knows.
So one guy like emails like the whole company is like,
I'm going to be out on such a such a dates, yada, yada, yada.
And then one of his one of his buddies that's working with them
replies all goes, no one no one cares about your stupid ass vacation.
And everybody in the fucking company got the you know, we're all like, oh, shit.
Like Dave, why did you do that?
And like apparently, like when he figured it out, he was just like mortified.
See, I've done that.
But on purpose, we had like usually we would have
like if people do that, they just email their department.
But those those one developer, Rick, who would email the entire company
when he was like, you know, sick or not coming.
So I photoshopped his face onto slick the slick Rick CD cover
and made it sick, Rick, and send it back.
They're like, I hope you feel better, Rick, replied all to everybody.
And he never sent one to the whole company again.
That's smart. Yeah. Problem solved.
Or Rick. He's sick and he's getting fucking bundled on reply.
All they deserved it. Bought it out there.
This is all the type of guy who would come in first thing in the morning
and crack a Diet Coke and six or seven during the day.
Just like his his blood must have been like battery acid.
Dude, some people love Diet Coke.
They love that. They crush it. Yeah.
It's a legally legitimate addiction.
I lived with a guy who was addicted to Diet Coke.
It was crazy. Mac Brown.
No, not it. It was he went he went through.
He went through a Diet Coke face.
Yeah, yeah. But this guy lived with like you'd be like,
yeah, I'm doing so good.
I have a Diet Coke forever.
And then I'd watch him relapse and he would just go get two
like two liters and drink them in like a sitting.
And I was like, whoa.
He's like, bro, I blew it.
I mean, could be worried.
Like that's that's that's an addict right there.
Yeah. Yeah.
Diet Coke is yeah, it sure beats math.
Jesus Christ.
You think Flores is going to win his suit?
No, I don't think it'll matter.
You'll ever coach or is it going to be Colin Kaepernick?
Good question.
I would love to see the Patriots bring him back as a like a coordinator or something.
I think it's a bold move because I think he definitely gets black balls.
Right. He's the people that he's kind of like get the jobs from.
Well, he's got to think then that he's got a chance of some sort
of like compensation from it, right?
You don't get this move unless you're pretty confident.
And what I've heard is that people are saying he might be able to
even if he doesn't coach again, the NFL, he could go coach in college.
Yeah, but I don't know.
I feel like it still carries the reputation down there, right?
Of like this guy might be a malcontent.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, with all the stuff coming out about it, though,
where the Dolphins owner was talking about paying him a hundred K
to like for each loss so that they could talk the season best.
That's my favorite part.
Yeah, yeah, like that.
And that's the same owner who
like bought into some like sports gambling company, too.
So it's just like massive conflict of interest.
So I think that's the bigger part of the story.
What is his case?
Like what? What is he trying to prove that?
That well, he's trying to prove that that's why he got fired is because,
you know, it was supposed to be like hard to work with.
But really, it was because he actually had some fucking morals
and wasn't going to.
So he's like arguing.
I was I was in fire fairly.
Right. Yeah.
So what is like Brian Daybaugh and all that have to do with anything, then?
I think that's that's a separate piece of it.
It's been against. Yeah.
He's been discriminated against.
And even getting that's what I can't understand, though,
he's being discriminated against by getting fired or not getting hired.
Both. It seems like this is just like a litany of
shit that's happened to him.
But I don't understand like if there's a focus behind it.
I think it's I think it's a bit of all of it.
I think it's discrimination getting the job and then wrong determination.
Right. Because he wasn't he wouldn't do something immoral or illegal.
Right. It's got to be illegal to pay your coach to fucking lose.
Yeah, that that sounds like something you could win.
If you could prove that. Right.
To not to not get hired, I think is like that's going to be a tough sell.
That's always a super hard to prove until you have a mistaken text from.
Exactly. Yeah, I think that text.
Right. And then the whole thing with the before you're going to interview,
you're like, what the fuck are we doing here, guys?
Just say you you're you're hiring and you only just giving me a token interview
wasting my fucking time because of the Rooney rule. Right.
Right. Yeah. But it's they're not taking it seriously.
Well, of course they're not.
Everybody knows that that rule was bogus.
Like that's that's honestly the dumbest way ever to try and like I agree.
Have a more diverse head coach.
We like let's force them to interview people as token interviews.
It's like that's that you have to like create a better pool
of like diverse candidates that they can select from, you know, uh huh.
Yeah. But that's that being said, it is it's hard to prove that
until you have text from Bill Palachia exactly four days before your interview,
saying congrats on the job.
Well, just kidding.
It's the white guy with a very similar name. Yeah.
And then the whole thing with the Broncos.
What is that? What is that prove, though, that they weren't?
They never wanted to hire him in the first place.
Not that he didn't get the job.
They're conducting sham interviews for that.
Right. Yeah. Yeah.
But like that's not even like wronging him necessarily.
I mean, it wastes time, but you know what I'm saying?
Right. But I think that's why he's doing it, though, is kind of.
Yeah, him getting fired.
I that seems pretty clear to me.
He's losing out on the money he would have had from the contract
and he wants to that money reimbursed.
If this is where it's instead of the Giants, like the Giants can't even do racism.
Right. Right.
They even flash it up.
We would be fine.
So many first round picks and a bajillion dollars.
And yeah. Yeah.
Do you think there's going to be any sort of fallout for any of these things?
There has to be about one for the coach or the owner paying the coach to lose.
That's incredible.
Yeah. The NFL can't have that, right?
But they've already come out and said the NFL's already come out
and like issue a statement where it's like, oh, this is bogus.
Oh, yeah, they're closing ranks around their own. Right.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. That's what I think they'll do.
Yeah. Yeah.
I think they're going to they're going to all close ranks and be like,
no, we're in this together.
No, but how much? Yeah.
How much should have they swept under the rug with Dan Snyder? Right.
Exactly.
And Colin Kaepernick, they're all like, well, we're just going to do it all the same here.
Yeah. Yeah.
No one gets in trouble as long as no one breaks ranks.
Exactly.
It's some bullshit. So fucking monopoly, right?
Dude, I kind of like how we're getting like a better look at like
some of these like front office scumbags
or just like the shit that goes on.
Because you can't always knew that like they always like put this professional face
out there, you know, and all these like really polished statements and stuff.
But you're like behind closed doors.
They're probably just like like anybody.
They're just like, you know, scheming and doing bullshit.
And like the way they talk to each other, you know, and with the grating stuff.
And now this we're like, all right.
Yeah, this is how it really was actually how the sausage is made.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Let's see you try and pull a fucking nice polished statement after this.
Some dickheads.
I love it.
And don't check this, bring it all fucking thing down.
It's the fucking old idiot on his phone.
Beautiful. We've all done.
Everybody can relate to that, too.
So relatable.
I bet Flora's comes back.
Belichick would probably bring him back in craft.
That would be the best thing.
Yeah. Craft, bring him back.
I can see that.
Craft almost feels to me like he's like towards the end of his tenure.
You know, he's he's getting up there in age.
And it seems like his his faculties are going a little bit.
And I think it's probably Jonathan that's going to be taking over
eventually sooner rather than later.
But Flora's is the defensive coordinator and Bill O'Brien is the offensive coordinator.
I think it'd be pretty good.
But you already have Mayo and
Stevie B as the, you know, the facto defensive coordinators
that nobody will actually call a defensive coordinator.
It can definitely be better, though, because the defense didn't seem to evolve
the end of the season, right?
They went down pretty.
They fell off at the end. Yeah.
I think some of that was the coaching.
I think that's a bigger if you want to talk about like, OK, yeah,
they can't get like diverse head coach hires.
It's because of things like Steve Belichick, where they're like,
this guy's only getting these advancements because he's the coach's son.
Oh, there's a ton of nepotism in there.
Yeah. I don't even think it's necessarily like that.
He's related just that a lot of guys like, I mean, look at coaching trees.
Yeah. Like the Vikings just hire the Vikings just hired MacVeigh's
offense coordinator, what the fuck it was.
Yeah, it was like never called plays or anything.
But he's he's still like now becoming a head coach
because he's from the MacVeigh tree.
You know, so it's like it's all just the the boys club, right?
The good old boys club.
Yeah. So it's it's who you know, not what you know.
Which is like I kind of like agree with is like, I don't know.
It's hard to I mean, if you're if you're putting your
your billion dollar franchise in somebody's hands, you want it to be somebody
who like, you know, you kind of have an idea of purpose.
What do you throw a hundred thousand dollars at home?
Right. Is that and then Hugh Jackson's I was like, oh, yeah,
I got paid to lose too.
It's like, yeah, sure you do.
Don't come at me with that. You you just suck.
Well, then you must have made a ton of money.
Yeah, show me the yacht and I'll believe you.
How does that buy you?
Yeah.
Yeah, I saw that the the meme where it's like, you know, Brian Floor is like,
I was getting paid a hundred thousand dollars per game to lose.
And then it was like
Hugh being like, oh, I got paid 50 K.
And then there was like Adam Gates, like you guys are getting paid.
We're at them.
Well, there's rumors that he might be the next New England's offense coordinator.
Yeah, for God.
It's a tough PR move.
Belchick's never been afraid of that.
Yeah, it's not even a PR move.
That's a tough football move for me.
And crazy eyes.
I don't know. Yeah, he's just he has not done himself any favor.
Media because hasn't like
wasn't a thing where like all the quarterbacks who
left his system did better.
So no Tannehill with the dolphins was one.
And then I can't remember who it was.
Maybe it was Darnell with the jets and like he actually started off well
with the panthers.
I was like, oh, look, as soon as you leave Adam Gates's system, you actually you thrive.
Yeah, it's been sort of riding the Peyton Manning.
Right, exactly. Yeah, like way too long.
I like Bill O'Brien because then you get a little bit of the college game
pulled forward, you know, then they can be more of that in the Pat's offense.
And it's true.
He knows like Mac Jones knows that really well.
Yeah, Alabama. I am right.
Hmm, were they over there at the same time?
Was B.O.B. I don't believe so. No, I don't think it was either.
No, either way.
It can't be a significantly different.
So right. And also that Bill O'Brien was the one that implemented that dual
tight end thing back in 2011 when he was here with Cronkin.
A.A. Ron and butch in.
That is Lee butch in.
Unlike Tom Brady's, who's somehow has disappeared. Yes.
Interesting riddle me that.
How does that happen, Greg?
So that water he's drinking.
We pinpointed the year.
If I remember, it was like 2003.
Yeah, no, actually, it kind of faded as it went on.
I saw a picture of like all his headshots from each year.
And it would like slowly get smaller and smaller every year.
I'm going to blame the NFL chin straps.
But that's what I'm blaming it like rubbed it down.
That's some solid spin there.
Andy Tom Brady.
He's got no time.
He's going to hire you.
You're on my team as he should.
I'm good at this third of social media game.
I'm good at social media.
How many followers we have, Andy?
What's our social media footprint?
We have. Let's find out.
Oh, boy. How do I use Twitter?
Great. Do you want to guess?
Yeah. How many?
How many Twitter follows do you think we have?
I'm not good at this because I don't ever go on Twitter.
This account has been alive since December 2017, apparently.
Well, that that image thing probably got a bunch, right?
Got a handful.
Three hundred.
A little decent guess, Steve.
Oh, geez, I was going to say.
Seven hundred.
I wish.
We have four hundred and forty four followers.
Oh, four hundred and forty four.
That's a fucking out, dude.
We should not accept any more followers.
Thanks to Samantha A.
Who followed us about 10 minutes ago.
What's up, Sam?
Yeah, so, baby, people are enjoying the fact that
I've just been just to prepare for this podcast.
I decided to do what I do best and that's nerd.
So I was going through all the my favorite Tom Brady stats.
And the one that I found today was
Tom Brady is third.
In all time in the NFL with most Russian rushing touchdowns over the age of 35.
That's pretty good.
Twenty one rushing touchdowns behind only rushing yards over 40.
He is.
Or like in like receiving to or something like that, too.
He is second in receiving yards behind Jerry after turning 40 years old.
Jerry Rice is first with two thousand one hundred sixty nine.
Tom Brady is second with six.
Brett Favre is third with negative two.
I want to see that play.
A 40 year old Brett Favre catching a two yard backward passing.
I believe it was up.
I think it was like a pass that got deflected that he caught himself.
Oh, he's doing that.
Oh, you love that shit.
It was a football player, Greg.
It was all back yard football.
That's slinger.
It's done slinger.
That's back yard football.
You know, that's back yard football.
You're on pass, run around, throw it again.
So do you guys have any favorite like Tom Brady like stats that don't seem real,
but are no, Andy, I don't nerd out like you.
Jesus, just tell me your stat.
You're fucking useless.
Greg, do you have any?
Well, my stat was that the last time that Tom Brady wasn't in the NFL.
I still had a bull cut, which is outrageous to think about.
That's outrageous.
I just think the last time he saw somebody with a bull cut.
I knew you had a bull cut in like freshman year of college.
Oh, yeah.
Didn't you bring that back?
He brought it back.
That was like a couple of days.
It'd be funny.
Yeah.
But it did back when I was like 12 or whatever.
I had a legitimate bull cut.
That was even you have a rat's tail at that point.
Now, that was me.
Yeah, I had a bull cut at some point as well.
Pretty sure we all did.
I'm pretty sure that was just the haircut your mom had you get at supercuts
in the early 2000s.
Just default.
That's a hell of a look.
I tell you, it's a ridiculous look.
It's awful mushroom cut.
Yeah, it looks like a mushroom more than a bull.
Well, I think because they used to put a bull over your head
and then just like around it, hence the bull cut.
Is that how you cut your bull cut when you're in college, Greg?
Yeah, with a bull.
You put a bull on.
Yeah, we cut it for you.
Kelly Kelly did it.
This is for you guys are even dating, right?
Hmm, maybe right around the same time.
So she knew what she was getting into.
Yeah, the way to move or Greg.
It looked bad.
It wasn't good.
I don't know those are like photos that I don't even share
because I can't have them getting out.
That's how I know it.
That's how bad they are.
We could.
And this is the man who has a whole lot more followers.
They'll get into our 700.
Oh, you think so?
A picture of Greg and a bull, an adult picture of Greg for the bull.
Don't even think about it.
I mean, I'm pretty sure we have you as the your half beard face
on most of our social media.
That's fine.
That's fine with that bull cut.
Not so much.
Yeah, the bull cut was at a low point in my life.
So when you met Kelly, the bull cut was a little point in your life.
Yeah, oh, fuck.
It's all been downhill since then, right, Greg?
Yeah, no good.
Kelly doesn't lose in this podcast, does she?
No, of course not, Andy.
Come on now.
Well, you didn't think mom did, too, until she started calling you on.
Yeah, what's up, mom?
We're a listener now.
Yeah, absolutely.
Very naughty. That's right.
It's Greg.
But she says whenever you come home, listen to the podcast.
You know, you've been sometimes a naughty boy.
Yeah, that's right.
All right.
So, Steve, you don't have any any favorite Tom Brady moments,
memories?
It's hard to choose just one, Andy.
All right.
It's such a wild ride.
There's a lot of them.
That's true. All right.
Well, never reliving them, too.
Why do I, you know, we are reliving every single moment of it.
It's kind of crazy.
That's definitely ends.
Maybe maybe he unretires, goes to Vegas, looks back up with Josh.
Oh, boy.
If Mike Florio is putting that take out there.
Is he?
Yeah, I hate Mike Florio.
He's such a nerd.
I was just being a fucking joke.
Mike Florio, Mike Florio is in favor of the taunting penalties.
Well, is that asshole?
You need to clean up the game.
It's like, dude,
you're the only person in the world with this take.
So who is he in the Nazi regime, Greg?
No, he's just a fucking nerd.
He's a guy that that ran all the crunch all the numbers for the trains.
Very efficiently run, though.
See, there you go. Mike Florio.
Kelly knows she's being talked about.
Me? No, the other Kelly.
I don't know. Last name, Kelly.
Kelly, Greg had a question.
Yeah, is he closer to Tom Brady, athletically than you are to Giselle?
Who looks wise?
What's a crazier statement?
I'm a better athlete than Tom, or you're better looking than Giselle.
You're a better athlete.
There was no pause there or nothing.
Athletic, you know, right?
I'm beautiful.
I agree, Kelly.
Ultimately, we ended up coming to the conclusion that that was the case.
And when we came to the conclusion, we weren't touching that answer
with a 10 foot ball, but that's true.
And I just thought out verbally.
It's the truth. Yeah, it's OK.
I understand.
All right, bye, Kelly.
Bye, Kelly.
I love you. Good night.
Goodness. Well, all right.
So what else you got?
You guys want to do your Tom Brady best and worst?
Now, we already did that when he left the Patriots.
Did we? Let's go through my topic list from the chat.
OK, I feel like we've covered a lot of it.
Go on. OK, one, Tom Brady, retirement, general thoughts.
We got that. Check. Two, Josh
McDaniels moving on thoughts and Las Vegas predictions.
How do you think he's going to do there?
I'm mediocre. I think it'll be good.
I think take two.
You'll be much better.
Me too. I think Derek Carr is pretty good, actually.
He's like not.
He doesn't be super high soon, but he's also got a pretty high floor.
I think it depends on the coach was good, though.
Yes, I feel bad for that guy, the interim coach.
He really held that ship together and like did a good job.
This didn't give him a chance.
So yeah, and apparently all the players love them, too.
Yeah, I think you'd have to for them to be able to keep that team together.
All right, number three, Brian Flores.
Is he racist or am I racist?
I think we've covered that one.
You are very fast.
Yes, yeah.
Four is a good one.
Creative ways to waste time in the offseason now that, you know,
and a foul is about to be over.
What are you guys going to be doing?
How do you spend your time?
I'm going to be wiping shit off of my son's bottom side
for the foreseeable future.
Ain't he's going to get elbow deep in the poop game.
That's it.
I got a daddy diaper depot.
You fill him, we spill him.
Yeah, yeah.
Old stinky thing is McGee.
That's right.
Yeah, so that's how I'm going to be spending my offseason.
Stacking piles of shit.
That's sweet, Andy.
Yeah, Steve stacked in my bathroom.
Oh, damn.
Smash that shit to bits.
That's the fun part, putting it back together.
It sucks.
Wordle.
Oh, yeah, I'm fucking addicted
to wordle. I've never done it.
Just got sold.
Yeah, New York Times.
Yeah, they'll probably charge money for it.
Yeah, and then you'll kill it.
But then a nerd, Greg, that you're at least favorite people
will clone it and make it free again.
So it will live on forever.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Survivor, you guys watch Survivor, ever?
No.
No, like a TV show.
Yeah.
Tell me what season survivors on like 40 something.
No, because it's close to Tom Brady's career.
I remember this at the beginning of this.
Really?
I think it was like a year after Brady's career started.
Survivor started.
He did 22 seasons, so I'm going to say 21.
It's 42.
Yeah.
I think they do two a year, Steve.
Oh, do they?
Yeah, yeah, because you're right.
They started coming out like early 2000s.
OK, it's still going.
It's still going, dude.
And I don't know, but I saw a commercial for it
when I was watching football.
Oh, that's another thing I wanted to bring up.
Jake from State Farm.
Dude, that guy got fucking railroaded.
Wait, what?
OK, remember Jake from State Farm, the original Jake.
The white guy, the nerdy white guy.
But what are you wearing, Jake?
Yeah, what are you wearing, Jake?
That guy was a real State Farm employee.
Right, they just pulled to do the commercial.
Yeah, he actually did that job.
Oh, damn. And everybody loved the commercial.
And then they just go and hire this like fucking actor.
This is like really good looking actor to replace him.
And they don't even change the guy's name.
He's still Jake from State Farm.
Meanwhile, this guy who made the thing famous.
He'll slip back to his desk.
Now he's just fucking probably making like 30 K a year.
It's and you know, bullshit.
Every time he picks up the phone, he's like a State Farm.
This is Jake like, oh, are you Jake from State Farm?
You know, what are you wearing, Jake?
Yeah, but he's done that for everybody at the company named Jake.
Yeah, but he should get paid for that.
He probably has. He thinks it's royalty.
He did a great job in that commercial.
The delivery was great.
The look was great. How do you know he didn't get paid?
I'm sure he did.
But the fact the fact that State Farm thinks, oh, we've got a good thing going here.
Let's switch it up to this like, you know,
really looking, but not in like an aggressive way.
Like I know an approach approachable way.
I know what it is, Greg.
It's because the guy's black, isn't it?
Is he black? I don't even know.
That's what makes a good actor and he looks
because he looks like Pat Mahomes.
We've already gotten about that.
Good insurance commercials are the fucking worst.
They're going to start a flow from progressive.
That. Oh, no, the worst are fragrance commercials.
Those ones. Yeah, because they make no sense.
Yeah, they just look like a fever dream.
Like why? Why is the you two guy playing a guitar
with in front of wolves in the desert plains?
But you actually like verbally describe what you're seeing.
It's so funny.
Oh, God.
But at least they're not like built to make you angry.
Like flow is like her only intention
is to anger you enough that she's memorable,
which is such an obnoxious business plan.
That's true. Yeah.
I have a friend who works for Liberty Mutual
and that's what he says is like we make it as obnoxious as possible.
So you can't forget it.
Yeah. And it works.
He's like, our numbers are sky high right now.
This is your whole strategy as a person.
That's not true.
That's not true at all.
We have to get Kelly back in here.
Say that.
Do we have to get Kelly back in here, Greg?
Dude, I can't even believe you'd say that to compare me to flow.
That's all strong.
I will.
I'm not a corporate chill, Steve.
I'm a man of the people.
Oh, yeah.
Me and Jake, I stand with Jake, the real Jake, not the fake Jake.
Watch the fake Jake.
Oh, boy.
Oh, yeah. And let's get Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Holmes real original.
Stay far away to think outside the box.
They could use that money to pay Jake.
Yeah. Yeah. Right.
Yeah, it wouldn't have cost much better.
Come on, man, the people.
Yeah. Oh, boy, Jake.
Although, I don't know.
That that should all that should ruin a person.
I remember Jared from Subway.
Yeah. Same thing.
And then what happened?
Here's a question. Here's a question.
Was Jared always a pedophile or did the fame make him a pedophile?
So that's a good question.
Yeah, I mean, I don't know if you can answer that.
I'm going to guess that the fame just gave him access to act on it.
You know, right?
So I'm thinking, too.
Yeah. And like Hillary Clinton, did she always eat babies?
Or was it only when she became?
No, she was introduced to that by the Illuminati.
Don't get me started.
Yeah. Oh, fuck.
Oh, damn.
All right. What else on your list, Greg?
OK, let's see.
We got to pass that one.
I think the next one I had.
How many hard boiled eggs is too many hard boiled eggs?
So I have a follow up for this question.
Too much for what?
Are we talking about ingesting?
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Are we talking about like filling a swimming pool?
Because I think you feel swimming pool.
That I think it feel kind of cool.
And there's a specific limit on how many too many
when it starts spilling over the top.
Maybe you're just eating the hard boiled eggs,
just popping in your mouth, or are you making like a salad out of them?
Yeah, you know, are we blending them?
Like make them shake. Yeah.
Which end do you eat them with?
Which end do you stick them when you eat them?
Oh, the skinny end of the top.
I was talking about your end, but OK.
Oh, my mouth. OK.
All right. Yeah.
Then probably six.
I do two a day.
Eggie, Greggy, pecan, man.
My other thing is pecans. I love pecans.
Oh, man.
Every day I have two hard boiled eggs and a handful of pecans.
How how many times do you say eggie, Greggy a day?
No, it's more than two.
Oh, yeah. Well, I think it in my head quite a bit.
Yes, but I'm generally alone most of the day.
So I guess they don't allow me.
How many times has Kelly heard you say the phrase eggie, Greggy?
Well, around Christmas, eggnog season, obviously.
That's a lot of fun. All right.
Yeah. Yeah.
She's eating the same amount, though.
OK. She's eating the same amount for four hard boiled eggs.
We got one of those little cookers from like a late night show.
Oh, absolutely. Great. Yeah.
I got LA one of those for Christmas once makes them perfect every time.
All right. Next topic.
Ticking my water. It's pretty easy.
Is Andy a trader to the podcast for skipping two weeks for his child's birth?
I'm going to get ahead of this and say yes.
Steve, thoughts.
Yeah, double down on that.
A counterpoint. Andy, thoughts.
You all could have done this without me and you fucking didn't.
So we tried. Did you?
Yeah. Those are the day you had the baby, too.
Oh, how'd it go?
Well, we text each other and we're like, we should do an episode.
I actually said I got something I want to get off my chest.
It was the Jake from State Park.
You've been sitting on that for three weeks.
Just because I was saying we should do a podcast.
He's got something. Oh, yeah.
Always. Yeah.
It's really worked up about the Jake thing because it's it's rarely
that Greg is the one to just, hey, are we doing a podcast this week?
It's always me and Steve.
You're like, are we going to do this like, OK, yes, Thursday, seven.
Yeah. OK. And then Greg would be like, I might be there.
I'll be a little late. The game, though.
Yeah, we we we never figured it out.
I am pushed at one day and then we were like, well,
we'd have to figure out the zoom and record function.
And I just fuck it.
Get out of record.
All right, pretty quick.
Yeah, that's that's not a surprise at all.
But we were willing.
And that's what really matters.
Yes. It was a thought that counts, huh?
Yes. And I think this proves that you're the trader of the podcast.
It does. Yep.
I think it proves that I am the most valuable player of this podcast.
I think you have no honor.
You don't really care about the podcast.
And that you're not in it for the same reasons me and Steve are in it.
Love of the game.
Oh, his character. Let's go. Yeah.
I don't even know if he's had this child.
That could be anybody's child.
You can rent babies.
You can rent babies.
You can rent babies.
I should try renting.
But you should try to take a baby.
See, I was trying to play it off.
It's a lot of work.
Yeah, trying to cover his tracks.
Yeah, this is just make a joke about it.
And that's interesting.
But flopping like a politician.
He always does that when he lies, doesn't he?
He even cares about this podcast.
He doesn't.
I don't think he does.
And he didn't even watch the game that other week.
I did watch the game.
Watch the game in like a month.
It's unbelievable.
Wait, you watch the game, Greg?
Then one time, the whole game.
Yeah, we did the Freaky Friday.
Most of it.
Exactly.
Would you watch the whole thing with the commercials, Andy?
I didn't think so.
If the commercials are in there, I usually do
because the old school commercials are pretty dope.
That is so you actually have something.
Yeah, that's one thing I hate about like playoff season is
I you get so many commercials
because I really don't watch anything with commercials
because it's like red zone.
I don't use Netflix streaming stuff.
So the only time I really watch a lot of commercials is
and I fell play live football.
Yeah. Yeah. And it's fucking obnoxious.
It's brutal.
The kickoff commercial is the worst fucking thing in the world.
Which one?
We're touched down commercial kickoff the ball commercial.
Oh, I think they stopped doing that.
Yeah, that's yeah.
I think they stopped doing that like a year ago every time,
but they'll do it.
Yeah. So growing up two minute warning one.
They still do that with us.
Someone called time out where they'll do
they'll have a two minute warning break
and then they'll do one play time out
and then they'll go to commercial
and you're like, what the fuck are we doing?
Yeah. Yeah.
So growing up, I used to drive us all bananas
that mom would mute the commercials.
So she didn't have to listen to them.
I remember this. Yeah.
But I do that now.
Me too.
Me too. The commercials.
So she flow.
Oh, it's all any commercial.
So as soon as I know, there's any mute the commercial flow.
It's another fucking insurance commercial.
It's a gig.
Where's the where's the remote, Kelly?
You know, like scramble over the couch to find your mom.
Yeah, bitch.
It's true.
Yeah, I mute all commercial.
Yeah, I don't I don't I don't I don't I'm at a point now
where I'm willing to pay for no commercials.
Well, we have Hulu and it's actually the worst
because you pay, but then you still have commercials.
And it's the same fucking commercial every time.
Yeah.
Well, I've seen the Liberty Mutual commercial.
Probably three thousand times at this point, conservatively.
They got the counter, though.
The counter honestly makes it easier
because you're like, this will be over in 10.
That's true.
Because I don't want to unmute now.
Yeah, perfect.
Yeah, they just need more people like Costco.
Or the original Jake from State Farm.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, need him back.
Yeah, see if you can get him on the pod, Greg.
We're going to be like, all right, just call up State Farm
until you get Jake, like, yeah, I'm Jake.
Love you in the commercial, dude.
You want to come on the pod?
Thank you for calling State Farm.
This is Jocelyn.
Hey, is Jake there?
I'll just call back.
Click.
Just keep calling back till I get somebody named Jake.
Yeah, it doesn't even matter if it's the same one.
Yeah, he comes on the podcast and it's the current Jake.
The actor, Jake.
Yeah, he's like ripped, too.
Yeah, of course he is.
Yeah, he's an actor.
No, you would never know that by the commercials
because you just like they make him so like it's soft in him up a bit.
You know, yeah, feminizing men.
There's another thing.
OK, all right.
Jerry Callahan got me, so.
Look at Alex.
All this K-pop, you know, it's ruining our American culture.
It's turning all the frogs gay by my supplements.
Oh, shit.
All right. Anything else on your list, Greg?
No, it's everything I had.
That was it.
We're going to end on the trader stuff.
That sounds good.
OK. So what's next week?
We're actually going to do a game, right?
This is Super Bowl.
You tell me, I tried to do a game this way.
Actions.
Oh, yes, predictions on our way out.
Rams are going to win it.
Give me winner.
Give me MVP Rams.
Oh, no, Beckham, Jr. Rams, Aaron, Donald.
Yes, you might be honest.
I'm Steve with that.
I don't know.
Well, you know, it really frees up space for the other rushers,
you know, I would love it if he wins them.
That's their favorite line is like,
yeah, he's been we haven't called his name a lot.
But, you know, he's get double team
so the other guys can get free.
That's like, shut the fuck up. OK.
Like a Vaughn Miller now.
So you can't double team up.
All right. Mine is I would like to say
Cooper Cup because I just I've been watching him this year.
He's fucking unbelievable for like the physical skills
he has to play that good and be productive is amazing.
He's it's not that tall, not that fast, not that strong.
But he's just ridiculous, ridiculous.
But I'm going to go bangles because I think they're going to win the bangles,
the bangles, the bungles.
And I mean, and they're probably going to give it to Joe Barrow.
Yeah, because, of course.
So Joe Barrow has never lost a playoff game
in his NFL or college career.
Played like two in college.
Yeah, I mean, it's true.
Two in. Has he played two?
Yeah, it's for now.
So pretty good.
I mean, what how many games did Tom Brady win in a row to start his career?
Playoffs like 10 or 11.
Would you count the bowl game as playoffs?
No, I'm just talking about college playoffs back then, but he won the Orange Bowl.
Yeah, I'm talking about high school.
Yeah, I don't know. You won much in high school.
We were a P. We Brady Brady.
What about baseball?
But he won what? At least the fuck up.
Three, oh, one.
Two in. Oh, two.
No, three. Right.
Oh, Steve's brain.
Here it goes.
It's about to explode or implode.
Did mental math and a mental midget.
You're killing it right now.
Steve, you go, keep going.
You got this.
I don't know. I can feel it.
I can feel it.
I don't know when it ends.
I don't want to streak ends.
His streak ended when he lost in the playoffs to the Broncos.
So he won three straight years without
he didn't make the playoffs the middle year.
So he did three Super Bowls without without losing a game.
Yeah, one wild card game in that, though, is so 10.
And then maybe 11 if they won a game before Denver.
They did, but it was still only 10.
OK, because they weren't a wild card team in those runs.
Right. Except for the first one.
No, that that raiders is a wild card game.
No, that was divisional round.
It was that game and then the Steelers.
So 10, it was 10 and 0 before he lost to the Broncos.
And yes, suck on that.
Joe Barrow 2005.
Yeah, last one on the way talking about Patrick Mahomes.
Can be the next Tom Brady. You guys hate him.
I hate him.
Mahomes. I don't hate him.
Donate him.
I hate everybody else around him, but Patrick Mahomes.
No, the the hate movements growing for Patrick.
Really? Oh, yeah.
Why?
And her fiance.
Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of chitter chatter online about it.
She's not helping his his.
Oh, no, she's awful.
And his brother is terrible, too.
Yeah, they're they're not doing the brothers.
The same way Adam Gates's eyes weren't doing him any favors.
Those two aren't doing Pat any.
But Patty Mahomes, I mean, he's fine.
Hmm, like a down to earth kind of guy.
Oh, yeah. Did you know his dad played baseball?
Did you know the shortstop with the Harvard?
The classic Chris Antonio Gates, like basketball.
Yeah.
Julian Edelman was a quarterback in college.
Now, there's something there, though.
There's something there. Really?
I don't like him either.
I can't really tell why.
Maybe it's like the success.
But like you just don't like the the media's coverage of him.
That's possible.
It's whatever the media likes.
Greg hates them.
If they're like Josh Allen for now, you'll soon turn and find some reason.
Some obscure clip of Josh Allen after a game in Pee Wee
smacking some dude with an open hand.
And you'd be like, well, see, look, he's a piece of shit.
Not that good.
You're probably right.
Well, there's definitely a trend there.
People I hate.
They're all like the ones that the media loves.
Everybody in the media darling.
Yeah, Joe Burroughs up next.
I can feel it.
That's because the media are not men of the people like I am.
Like I see the chatter online.
I know what the real people think.
And then that the dichotomy between the media
saying what the people online say.
People are like Aaron Donald either.
Why did you chat online about that as well?
I'm not the only one.
Greg's been having all these conversations, late night
conversations with Jake from State Farm on Aaron Donald's.
And there's not a fan.
Google it.
Do your own research.
Oh, God.
What is this?
I hope this podcast documents my like, slide into.
Not like.
Spirits and theories.
Yeah, internet, fucking comment, ping pong.
Here we come.
Yep.
I think Greg.
Lot of chitter chatter out there.
Yeah. Yeah.
A lot of birdies tweeting and all the conservative circles,
all the conspiracy circles.
Oh, dude, you don't even know about the circles I know about.
Greg gets a new computer.
It takes these.
We also sat on the same podcast.
I don't know how to Twitter any.
You have 300 followers.
Is that.
My favorite was when Greg when Greg posted his first blog post
to Reddit.
And all the guys came up with the semantics.
Like, oh, well, he got this first thing wrong in the first
paragraph, so I didn't read the rest of it.
Yeah, people on the internet are the worst.
They are the worst.
The worst.
These same people who are saying that Aaron Donald is bad.
Yes.
It's different.
No, I'm just trying to I'm just trying to clarify here.
No.
OK, OK.
Explain to us.
Right.
Very fine line.
Very fine line.
Yeah.
That fine line is what I believe to be true.
And what I believe to not be true.
Did they criticize me?
Fuck.
No, it's a bad internet.
You know what?
I'm not even going to give you guys any more material.
I'm nice to people online.
I've told you that, right?
No.
Intentionally nice to people online.
Yeah, me too.
What?
Because nobody talks like you read online.
Everyone's so like sarcastic and passive aggressive with each
other that you're like, I've never like been around people that
like have the balls to talk to each other like this.
And I'm like, I'm not going to say shit online that I don't
speak like in real life because otherwise I'm a pussy.
So I just am nice to people.
You're not a keyboard warrior.
Is that what you're saying?
Yeah, dude.
It's just kind of like, it's kind of stupid to be like, I would
talk to him like this on the internet.
And then if I saw him in real life, be like, Oh, I'm sorry, bro.
I didn't mean that.
What the fuck did you say it then?
You know, like,
the internet is all about though.
Yeah, I know.
But that'll think that's healthy.
And I don't think it's like, I think all the, I think everybody
on the internet is a pussy except for me.
That's why I'm nice.
Someone that criticizes podcast and you in it.
That'd be great.
Yeah.
So if you're listening.
Yes, please criticize Greg.
Yeah.
You can tweet at us and I will tell Greg because he doesn't
know how to Twitter, obviously.
Yeah.
Or you can text the, the, the Dianese hotline.
What's the number?
Neither of you have any chance.
Dian Jones there.
603-505-8043 is the quickest way to insult Greg Brown.
So just shoot a text to that number.
Just don't say anything you wouldn't say in real life to my face.
I think we put it up on the internet.
And just remember he's almost as athletic as Tom Brady.
That's right.
You know,
he's pledged to be an athlete as Tom Brady as Kelly is too.
Right. Exactly.
Yeah.
He's further away.
Oh God.
Well, that's, that's Greg.
And he's, then he's just neck and neck with Brady and Giselle
Kelly are miles apart.
There's a great Bill Burr bit about that too.
About like people at sporting events that like cussing out the
players, telling them they suck and then like seeing them in
the park.
And I'd be like, can you sign my stamp collection?
Oh man.
Talking trash is a good thing.
Oh man.
Talking trash is only good if you're funny about it though.
Exactly.
That's what I'm saying.
Like the sarcastic like passive aggressive like it's like,
it just comes off as whiny.
Like be funny.
Nice job, Tom Brady.
Yeah.
Nailed him.
You got him good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But like if you say you, you know,
would never say something online that you wouldn't say in real
life.
You say all sorts of ridiculous things in real life.
Didn't we, didn't we go to a Jets game and we,
we kept saying that Gino Smith's ass looked fat in those pants.
The entire game.
I'm pretty sure we will, for some reason we last,
we last shot of that and told him that his mother was not proud
of him.
Certain things like that.
Cause we got seats that were close enough that he could hear us.
That's sweet.
Yeah.
Especially when he was backed up that one time.
At the goal line.
He does have child bearing hips though.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
I think we let him know that too.
And there was a little spinners game,
which you got,
which dad actually left us at cause it was so bad.
Cause Greg was heckling.
You were heckling the,
you were heckling the mascot who was handing out free food.
I believe.
See, I do it in real life.
I'm about to like fuck around and find out kind of deal.
You know, Steve.
Probably the asshole on the internet, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know why you're not more of an asshole.
You're kind of, you've gone the other way.
Yeah.
If you're like a reverse ugly duckling.
Not on the internet.
You're on line than you are.
Yeah.
In real life.
Yeah.
Give it time.
It'll make me more cynical eventually.
Yeah.
Especially if you keep posting your own work on the internet.
More time and more insurance commercials.
That'll get you there.
Yeah.
All right, boys.
Anything else?
No.
I don't think so.
Any, any TV shows you guys are watching?
What do you got going on?
I hate February dude.
It's going to kill me.
I'm rewatching band of brothers.
Band of brothers.
Sweet.
Yeah.
I don't remember anything about it.
I remember watching it and being like, wow, that was awesome.
There's a Pacific version as well, which I haven't seen.
So I might just watch.
Yeah.
Pacific version.
There's a good world war two in color documentary on Netflix too.
You should watch that.
Hmm.
It's like all raw footage from world war two.
It's pretty cool.
I'm rewatching game of thrones.
Okay.
The first three seasons of that shit are so good.
I don't remember being so slow.
I mean, the, the ending blows.
They screwed that up big time.
Yeah.
The characters.
Like the, the writing is really good.
Yeah.
I would definitely pick them.
Like the first season was a slog.
Yeah.
I could see it.
It's a bit slow.
I liked the little guy though.
He's my favorite.
Peter Dinklage.
Yeah.
Peter.
That's how you put like diversity in TV shows, by the way.
Right.
Hmm.
You just put them in there.
You don't make a big deal about it and not be like, he's so empowering
because he's short.
No, he's empowering because he's a cool character and really well
written and like smart and clever and has weaknesses and has
strengths.
And he just happens to be small.
You know,
right?
And Jake from stay far.
I'm just happy to be in a blade.
Bring it all back.
Oh, shit.
The fat guy though, Samuel Tarly.
Oh God.
I, I have to fast forward through his bits.
Oh yeah.
I have not seen it.
So you haven't seen it, Andy?
Nope.
None of them.
We've got a bunch of free time in your hands, Andy.
Get after it.
Yeah.
The only thing I want.
Only thing I'm watching right now is the back of my eyelids
whenever I have a free moment.
What do you do?
Walk me through a day.
Right now.
They don't have a beginning and end.
So I'll just walk you through what happens on, on repeat is
basically.
My child will sleep for anywhere between 45 minutes and an hour and
a half, which time we will either sleep with him or we will try
to get shit done, like dishes and like, you know, ordering toilet
paper so that we have something to wipe our asses with.
And then he wakes up and is either hungry or has filled a diaper.
And then we will feed him and he'll be awake for probably 20 minutes
after that, where we will, you know, show him books of black and
white things because that's all he can see right now and take a
bunch of pictures of him because he's awake.
Then he falls asleep again, or he doesn't fall asleep and he
cries because he has gas pains and will not fall asleep until he
farts, which I can 100 percent understand because that's how I
am too.
I cry and just punch him in the stomach trying to get it out.
I haven't yet.
Offer solutions.
I appreciate that.
No, I do.
I do like the football carry, like having him face down.
He was like patting the hell out of his back.
He loves it.
It's about it.
That's my life.
It's not a repeat.
So I don't know what day it is.
I don't know what month it is.
I rarely know if it's night or day.
I mean, you're just watching TV, right?
Like what do you don't even we haven't actually turned the TV
on yet.
So what do you do?
You just sit there and look at this thing.
If he's awake.
Yeah.
Otherwise I'll be sleeping.
This is like an awful lot of sleeping.
No, it's not because it's sleeping 45 minutes at a time trying
to get your eight hours.
You're not getting your Ram.
Yep.
Not getting my Ram.
It's all it's really about the Ram.
It's not.
Yeah.
That's about the Ram.
Getting there.
So we're trying now to kind of take turns of like Aaron will.
Do all all the few cycles in a row by ourselves while I sleep
for a few hours and then we'll swap.
Except I can't feed him because I don't have milk.
Oh, yeah.
We talked about that.
Right.
Exactly.
In great detail.
Thankfully that wasn't on the recording part.
I don't know if if you got some sort of fake tits.
Right.
I still don't think they produce milk.
Well, you could put milk in them.
But wouldn't it go bad though?
He's drinking an ounce at a time.
I'm saying like, okay, here's an idea.
Here we go.
A tube on Aaron.
That filters straight into your fake tits.
Like, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then you just sits on there and sucks on the fake nipple.
Okay.
And it's just coming right from the source, baby.
You got a little pump on there.
I have another idea.
Aaron, don't you have to wake up?
I got another idea.
Bottle feeding.
Yeah, I guess that worked.
I can even hide the bottle inside my shirt and cut a little hole.
Yeah.
And then, yeah, he thinks and put a little pillow down my shirt.
Yeah.
So he gets the full experience.
But I like your idea too.
Yeah.
Got a siphon system going.
I mean, they're attached by it.
Yeah.
Once it starts, it keeps going, baby.
Whatever method you choose, just make sure that fake nipple comes
out past the chest area.
Andy.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
The chest hair is my worry.
Yeah.
You got to get that past the jungle there.
Yeah.
No, we don't, we don't want that happening.
So you should shave one breast and then put the picture on the
internet on Twitter.
Well, I've shaved them both ones.
Oh, we know it's coming up next in Greg.
No, I did the, uh, the mustache competition.
I'm doing a mustache right now.
Are you?
No, that must be, it looks like you just shaved.
I know this is like a week and a half.
Really?
Yeah.
Cause it's super blonde.
I get like wicked bushy like side beer.
Yeah.
That's why I've never done a mustache, but I figure like, I have
to try it at some point.
Oh, I go.
I feel like, I feel like you need to air quotes every time you
use word mustache for that.
Yeah.
It's not a great mustache.
I understand it, but it's not going to stop me from trying.
Never done.
I might get some dye.
You see if I can get some color in it.
I think that'll really like make it pop.
Yeah.
Stay tuned.
Well, dad has a bunch of extra dye.
Isn't he dying his hair like pink?
Can we, can we talk about that?
Cause I didn't, that made no sense.
No sense.
He got a bunch of dye and then he just ended up dying his eyebrows.
Yeah.
In the, in the family chat, we just get a chat from what was it?
Mom or dad?
They were like, just bought a bunch of hair dye.
Yeah.
Pink purple.
Yeah.
Well, so what does that mean?
Yeah.
That was it.
There's no follow up of our dad's eyebrow.
Like slightly yellow.
Yeah.
And still have no idea what any of this means.
I don't.
Yeah, I don't understand.
I'm excited though.
Yeah.
I don't want to see where this goes.
That's for sure.
Dad's got leftover.
I'm sure you can borrow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's true.
And you can also dye the other side of your chest hair with the
non-shaven side.
And on that note, I think we will leave this till next week.
Because I need to go get some sleep or attempt it.
What is next week?
I take back what I said about being, you being a trader.
I didn't mean that.
I don't believe you, but I was just trying to entertain the people.
I was only doing it because Greg was doing it.
Y'all know where your, your bread is buttered.
So next week.
2004 week 12 going all the way back to 2004.
We haven't done been there in a while.
Patriots Ravens.
Brian Billick.
Rex Ryan.
All right.
Mike Nolan.
In the Baltimore.
Kyle Bowler.
No.
In Gillette.
Bowler.
Yeah.
So the seven three Ravens visiting the nine and one Patriots.
What should be a good game?
Game.
And Sunday night game.
Very well might be.
We'll have to find out next week on.
The Patriots Downey podcast.
See you later.
